Since all of the information he has procured from his efforts has been passed on to by Void, there is nothing much to talk about for now. Ignoring his stunned expression due to the sudden direct sustenance I gave him, I simply strolled past him with a spring on my steps and bid him goodbye. I definitely got more out of that kiss than he did. I told him he is free to visit here in my study any ti as long as he gives an early notice first through the communication feature of the earring I gave him. I gave him a magic sealed letter that I tasked him to give to his father. I may have a way to get the dark orb that is currently being protected by the dark-elves soon if I play my cards right. My last instruction before I closed the door behind was that it would be better for him to teleport out of the villa soon. He seed to be confused as to why I am hurrying him to leave and I had to explain that if he doesn't want to go through a questioning session in the living room for the next hour or so, he better leave now. He seed to have co back to his senses after he heard my warning and he imdiately bowed his head as he teleported out of the villa and for sure, out of the acade territory. He seed to be really in a hurry to leave and I could not help but laugh a bit. I never thought he would fear anything and try to escape. He knew that there were eight n waiting for an explanation outside the doors of my study. It was even harder since there is no relationship to explain about! As for , I can just navigate my way through the questions easily since I have been through these situations several tis in the past. n in this world are jealous all the ti, you see?
As I walked out of the study, I saw the seven guys still sitting on the living room cushions. For so reason, Ioannis opened his bedroom door less than a minute after I did as if he was waiting for to return to the living room. I notice them cranig their necks towards the inside of the study room as if waiting for Void to co out. I told them that he has already teleported out of the acade. They looked at as if I accusing of hiding Void from them. I ignored their stares and the peculiarity of how united they are when they feel threatened by an outsider. I guess, n in a harem co together against the sa enemy or rival. I simply walked past them and went to the kitchen. The ingredients that we have bought from the markets are still on the counter top. They did not even keep the ingredients in the right storage areas. They must have gossiped imdiately after they went in. I started going through it, washing the vegetables, fruits and at. I made sure place them in our designated storage systems (which I invented). The milk will have to go in the beverage keeper I made. It was similar to refrigerators in the modern world but I made sure to have them separated so that the temperatures are different too. Combining it with magic, it beca possible to have these ingredients not turn bad for an extended period of ti. I kept the bread and tarts in a separate storage. This one is to keep it fresh and warm as if it was freshly baked. I can feel their eyes boring into the back of my body as I was doing the kitchen chores. I broke the silence by asking, "Ioannis, what do you feel like eating first?" He imdiately replied, "Can I have a few of the fruit tarts and so milk first?" I happily answered, "I'm preparing it now. Please wait." as I hurriedly put his food requests on a serving tray.
I quickly walked out of the kitchen and placed the tray in front of Ioannis. He smiled at and said thank you. He started munching on the food with bulged cheeks like a cute chipmunk. He looked like he really enjoyed them. I'll ask him again next ti for any food that he is craving for. Since I am no longer needed here, I turned around and started making my way to my bedroom. I purposely walked leisurely to see if they can keep their silence until I get in the room. I highly doubt it though. I was smiling as I continued walking. Just as I touched my bedroom door, one of the guys couldn't take it anymore and stopped . Aurum said, "Don't you dare get in that room without telling us who that man is! Is he your new lover?" I pretended to keep a cold face as I turned around to look at everyone in the living room. I looked at Ioannis then asked him, "Do you want to know?" He thought for a bit and nodded. I then turned to look at Dimitri and asked him the sa question lang g, "Do you want to know too?" He looked at for a few seconds and then nodded a little. I then put my right hand under my chin, pretending to contemplate how I would explain things. I spoke as if I was unsure and said, "Hmm... He works for as a spy. I couldn't get into more details as to what type of information he delivers to though. Lover? NOPE. He's indeed good-looking and manly too, isn't he? Thanks for giving an idea, Aurum." I then looked at Aurum with a provoking smile. I saw his face turn pale and his eyes widen in shock. He then swiftly looked away, stood up and walked quickly into his room. Damn! He even slamd the door loudly. How co he's the oldest of all the people here when he's this childish?
As for his four aides, they stayed seated and they all sighed heavily almost at the sa ti. I then sat on the space where Aurum stood up from and spoke nonchalantly, "Hey, you four. Aurum have t that guy before it's just that Void is currently in disguise right now. He's a dark-elf, currently working for . He's really not my lover but I can't promise he won't be in the future. He's the future leader of the dark-elf race. He's a strong candidate to be the father of one of my children in the future. That's my take on this issue. I am not forcing you guys to stay with . Your master can also marry sobody else if he want to." Yren, the only who rarely speaks out of the four suddenly said, "Impossible." I looked his way and asked, "What?" Xenos, the one who deals with all negotiations spoke, "He ans that it is impossible for our master to marry anybody else." Helios added more information by saying, "He was so stubborn to only marry a woman he is highly resonant with that he lost his crown-prince title because of it." Calix then gave his thoughts, "He was given five years from the ti he ca of age. For others, they would have married when the ti limit is nearing its end. As for Aurum, he willingly gave away the title because he said, "I would marry soone who at least wants back a little even if it just for resonance. I don't want to fuck all of our lives just because of a marriage based on flimsy reasons." Yren then spoke the longest since I t him, "The prince and I already knew you were our resonant the first ti we t you at the massage house. He waited for you for more than 8 years so as I said, marrying sobody else is impossible."
******** ******** ********
Aurum's POV
I thought that if I find my resonant, everything will just fall into the right place and the five of us will find our happiness. I now believe that all that was just wishful thinking on my part. I know I am not soone with the best personality of the bunch but why does she have to do things to anger on purpose. She even has the audacity to taunt back to spite further. Does she find joy in making suffer because she knows I do not have a choice but to follow her wherever she goes and do whatever she asks to do? THOSE FOUR USELESS INGRATES! They didn't even follow in this room when I just showed everybody that I was extrely upset and jealous. They have totally switched to her side when we have been together for more than a decade! I admit she's nice to them and never talked to them like they were slaves or servants. I was always the one she treated worst! I couldn't even get angry at her. This resonance is clouding my thoughts and all feelings I have for her end up positive. I really think that I'm currently being punished and receiving the karmic retribution I deserve for being an arse when I was still the crown prince of this empire. If I knew it would hit where it hurt the most, I would have reeled in my temper and treated others way better.
I have already ran out of ideas on how I can make her consider as a potential husband. I know it was an oversight on my part that I did not add the clause about an engagent or a possible marriage in our previous business agreent. This is sothing that Dimitr,y cunning cousin did and he was lucky enough that he was able to get amazing results out of it. As for , I tried to do my best in everything I do. I showed her that I can work well with the tasks that I was given as a prince. I made sure that any task or information she asked for will be delivered and prioritized. I made sure that I will be deed useful. I did not use any force to get her into a relationship with . I have been the most patient that I can ever be from the ti I was born. I honestly can't do anything about being sour and jealous. I bet everybody else in that room was damn jealous too about the situation. They were just better in hiding their feelings compared to . Fuck! Why am I even crying right now?
