Looking at the approaching Suscila, I took a moment to calm myself as we greeted each other with a friendly expression; thankfully, we were in public, so she couldn't do anything extreme, though even so, she was quite daring with how affectionately she grabbed my hand.
"Elif, it's great to finally speak with you again." Said Suscila with a large smile as she looked at Elif while holding his hand, causing the two guards to raise their eyebrows at her.
"Yes, it's wonderful to see you again after so long, Suscila. I hope you've been well." Stated Elif softly with a smile as he eyed Suscila, covering part of his face with his Quạt tay while trying to retract his hand, which she was holding.
"Quickly, come inside; I must properly treat you as a guest." Remarked Suscila with a smile as she led Elif into the residence, passing the guards while Illumia silently followed behind them.
Once we entered the residence, I hoped Suscila would release my hand, yet that was just wishful thinking as she led me directly to the rooms; how did I know she was doing that? Well, the residences atop the Ten Generational Mountains are all the exact same; matter of fact, so is the amount of cultivation resources one receives; it doesn't matter whether you live on the first or the tenth mountain; everything will be nearly identical with the only difference being the height of the mountain.
'Oh, this is quite bad.' Thought Elif with an ugly expression, which he hid with his Quạt tay as he looked at Suscila.
If we arrive in Suscila's room, I'm confident things that I only do with my concubines will be requested from her, and just allowing her to hold my hand is already disgusting; I don't want to imagine doing anything else with her. Forcefully coming to a stop, causing Suscila to turn and look at me in confusion while I spotted lust in her eyes, a sight that caused me to shiver as I was correct.
"Is something the matter, Elif?" Asked Suscila in concern as she looked at Elif before leaning forward, placing her hand atop his cheek while staring into his eyes.
"Woah, is it just because we haven't seen each other in a while, but have you gotten more beautiful?" Muttered Suscila softly with a blush as she stared at Elif's face, subconsciously leaning forward while puckering her lips, causing him to block her with his Quạt tay.
Coughing, grabbing Suscila's attention as she broke out of her little stupor that my heavenly beauty put her in, she sported a reluctant expression as she backed away while glancing at Illumia, who was watching everything with a blank expression.
"S-Suscila, I believe you should lead me to the Master of this residence before you can… Show me around. It would be rude of me, a guest, not to speak with your elder sister, don't you think so?" Remarked Elif with a forced expression as he looked at Suscila while internally thanking Illumia for simply existing, his words causing her to click her tongue as she reluctantly nodded.
"Yes, you're right, Elif. I should have you met my sister; besides, I'm sure she'll like to meet you as well. Follow me." Said Suscila with a nod as she glanced at Elif before turning around, leading him through the residence once more, though this time, with much less enthusiasm.
Passing by what I assume is Suscila's room, given how she stopped at stared at it for a few seconds before continuing past it, causing me to heave a sigh of relief as we eventually arrived at the back of the residence, only to exit it, stepping into the back courtyard where I saw a lovely Atlantean training with the sword.
The Atlantean woman, who I presumed was Cordelia, was of lighter skin than most Atlanteans, and she had bluish hair, just like the ocean, and her ears were that of fins; she wore a thin golden tiara and modest clothes that both emphasized her womanly charms while also not being too revealing. As I silently watched her train with her sword, utterly oblivious to our presence, I had to admit that not only was she much more beautiful in person, but she was quite talented in the way of the sword as well.
"Hmm, she's on the cusp of acquiring Sword Will." Muttered Elif lightly as he fanned himself with his Quạt tay while watching Cordelia, causing Suscila to pridefully nod, completely missing the hidden meaning.
"Heh, yes, she is; my elder sister is quite amazing when it comes to mastering the sword. There is probably no one superior to her." Said Suscila with a smile as she glanced at Elif before staring at Cordelia with a proud smile.
Cordelia was rather deep into her training since it was roughly a full hour before she finally noticed us, which was fine with me; watching her practice with the sword wasn't the worst way to spend an hour, and I've definitely experienced worse ways.
"Sister, Sister! Look who I brought!" Said Suscila happily as she ran towards Cordelia while pointing towards Elif, who waved at her with his Quạt tay.
"Is that…?" Asked Cordelia softly as she glanced at Suscila, who rapidly nodded before whispering into her ears.
"Also, aren't I correct, Sister? Isn't he to die for?" Replied Suscila lightly as she glanced at Cordelia before looking at Elif with lustful desire.
"Hmm." Muttered Cordelia quietly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing with Suscila's words.
Watching Cordelia and Suscila speak about who knows what, as the Crown Prince, I needed to present myself in a respectable way, and what better way than to seduction? I didn't have much hope in actually seducing Cordelia; not only was this our first time meeting, but she was a holder of an Immortal Will, so her mind wouldn't be so easily swayed.
'Challenges are always welcomed.' Mused Elif lightly as he eyed the approaching sisters before glancing at Illumia, who hadn't said a single word since arriving.
"Watch your Prince in action, Illumia." Said Elif with a smirk as he winked at Illumia, who lightly nodded.
Shaking my head, causing my purple streak to hang down in front of my face while I slicked back the rest of my lustrous silver hair before I began approaching Cordelia and Suscila; during the walk towards each other, I purposely locked my eyes with Cordelia's, and even when we stood opposite of each other, neither of us looked away. Before she could open her mouth first, I swiftly leaned down and grabbed her hand, gently kissing it while never once breaking eye contact, and although it was faint, she did end up blushing.
"Crown Prince Elif August of the Elven Empire at your service; it's an absolute pleasure to finally meet you, Mistress Cordelia. Forgive my bluntness, but I must say, even the ocean's splendor pales in comparison to your unworldly beauty." Stated Elif courtly as he winked at Cordelia while standing upright and releasing her hand, causing Suscila to look at her in envy.
Seeing Cordelia just look at me with slightly baffled eyes, I couldn't help but smirk; the first introduction matters quite a lot, and if I didn't just pass with flying colors, then I don't know what to say.
'Ahh, my beauty is truly unequal.' Thought Elif softly as he looked at Cordelia, who needed assistance from Suscila.
"Sister, snap out of it!" Whispered Suscila softly with a frown as she eyed Cordelia while pinching her butt, which seemed to do the trick.
"F-Forgive my rudeness, Elif; I am Cordelia Alarin, Heir to the Ocean Clan. I've heard many things about you, though it seems many of those rumors are false, while some aren't." Stated Cordelia with a faint blush as she gazed at Elif's figure, eyeing his somewhat revealing outfit, which no woman besides Elaine had dared to complain about.
"Heh, I can say the same for you, Mistress Cordelia, though they never did justify how gorgeous you are in the flesh. Not to mention how splendid you are with the sword; I must admit, as a swordsman myself, you're incredibly talented, one of the best swordsmen among this generation." Remarked Elif lightly as he looked at Cordelia's somewhat curvy yet lithe figure, which was capable of inciting lust in most men and even some women.
"I-I appreciate your flattering remarks, Elif, though you do not need to address me with Mistress; we are of the same standing, are we not?" Said Cordelia softly as she looked at Elif with a faint smile, causing him to smile gently.
"Well, Cordelia, I don't wish to interfere with your training, as I know just how important that is to beings like ourselves." Said Elif softly as he glanced at the courtyard before looking at Cordelia, who promptly shook her head.
"I've just finished; you're more than welcome to stay." Said Cordelia, causing him to chuckle with a nod.
"Well, if you insist, Cordelia, and if you don't mind, I'd love to get to know you better, sharing my thoughts on the way of the sword with someone as talented as you could prove to be beneficiary to myself, and as the saying goes, two minds are better than one." Remarked Elif lightly with a smile as he gestured towards an empty table in the distance, only for Cordelia to shake her head while summoning her sword.
"I'd love to speak of the way of the sword with a talented swordsman like yourself, but they say the clash of blades reveals more than words could ever." Said Cordelia with a nod as she unsheathed her sword, causing Elif to raise an eyebrow before storing his Quạt tay and summoning Hokori from his dimension ring.
