Chương 45: The 'Plan'?

"Good evening Lady Valentina, Princess Ares, and Prince Noah!" Caleb got up from his seat and greeted the three of them with a slight nod.

Although Caleb's eyes were slowly filling with lust as he glanced at Ares and Valentina but he did not wish to die yet.

Only a fool would make a move on Ares when her overprotective dangerous mother is around her and he already heard about the events of how his father was treated literally like a pig even though he only glanced at Ares.

Caleb did not dare to look anywhere else except their eyes as his back was slowly being drenched with cold sweat.

It was a difficult task but he managed to do so as a few drops of sweat rolled off his forehead.

Valentina nodded in acknowledgment. She was really happy with Caleb's attitude.

King Abbott's sister also got up to introduce herself, since, unlike Caleb who was still a part of the Royal family, she was already married off to a rich noble and her existence slowly faded away due to that.

Her husband comes from a rich family but they have very little influence, hence their name wasn't well known.

They had a few famous adventurer guilds along with the business of manufacturing high-quality, magically-enchanted weapons which generated a lot of revenue.

Weapons were of various types, some supported [Fire] element while some supported [Earth].

People bought weapons based on the kind of element they usually used and these kinds of weapons that allowed them to use their element without damaging the weapons were always in high demand.

Who would want to burn their weapons to a crisp when using [Fire] on your weapon to increase its temperature in order to cut through enemies like butter?

"I am Silia, Abbott's sister and this is my husband Kale" Kale also got up and slightly bowed, his status was still lower than theirs so he had to show some respect.

Silia couldn't take her eyes off Noah's godly figure, purple hair and purple eyes with an even more handsome face.

Noah also liked what he was seeing.

Silia had an amazing figure, she looked to be in her mid-twenties even though she may be over a few thousand years old.

Noah walked up and sat right beside Silia.

Silia only looked at Noah from the corner of her eyes but didn't say anything else as she sat on her own seat.

Valentina sat on the opposite end of the table, exactly opposite to King Abbott not caring about etiquettes or pleasantries.

King Abbott sighed again, for some reason he just wanted to stay away from this dangerous woman and follow the 'plan' which he discussed with the 'black-robed individual'.

Ares sat beside Noah, but her red eyes were glowing dangerously. A bit of [Energy] could be felt leaking out of it when she looked at Silia. She was having a bad premonition!

Subconsciously she was taking her first steps towards [Immortality] as her jealousy increased, she did not want anything more than to have enough power to kill all the women in the world except Valentina and have Noah all for himself.

Noah grabbed her hand under the table as everybody sat down on their seats for the dinner.

Ares's chaotic emotions calmed down a little, she closed her eyes and took deep breaths to not pounce on Silia due to her 'womanly instincts' that were screaming Silia was trouble.

Soon, maids and servants of the palace brought fancy, embellishing dishes.

It was truly an extravagant dinner and it was quite tasty as well. Noah enjoyed every bite but Ares was not doing any better than before, she was looking at her mother with puppy eyes, expecting she would kill Silia sooner or later, but Valentina didn't bother as she enjoyed her dinner, although her eyes were also glowing with blue color from time to time, she could only trust Noah to deal with whatever comes at him.

Noah and King Abbott conversed a little regarding matters of the Empire. Noah told him everything that his father wanted him to convey to Abbott like compromising here and there.

He also ensured King Abbott that the events related to Gabon city were completely unrelated to the Imperial Family and even showed the recording-crystal in which Adam tried to force himself upon Ares to justify his execution.

Like an experienced diplomat, he relayed all the information that the Emperor wanted him to convey.

Suddenly-

"I am not feeling well, I think I should rest a little" Silia said as she looked around her guests nervously with a pale expression.

Everybody nodded as they were just having dinner and not doing much that requires her presence. The two men who were conversing had nothing to talk about with Silia so they didn't mind either.

Silia got up from her seat as a sharp glint flashed through her eyes, Noah didn't miss it and soon a small piece of paper was dropped onto his lap which Noah hid immediately.

Ares relaxed after Silia left but how could Valentina's senses can't see what happened just now?

Although her techniques were half-baked, although she was one of the youngest [Immortals] in the Universe, although her powers couldn't be compared to other [Immortals], she was still an [Immortal].

She mentally asked Noah, "Are you going?"

*Cough* *Cough*

Noah choked slightly on his food, he almost forgot, Valentina was a [Immortal] too, her senses far exceeded [Mortals].

But-

Who was Noah? Someone with one of the thickest skins! He replied mentally, shamelessly,

"Why not? Don't tell me you really care about me having a few flings here and there?"

"You know it's not about your 'fling' I am talking about...How are you going to deal with the 'problems'?" Valentina asked in an annoyed tone mentally.

"What 'problems' mother? I just see a wife that deserves some love and with my experience, I can grant her blissful memories which she will remember for years" Noah said casually as he took another bite from his plate.

Valentina's eyelids twitched uncontrollably as she asked, "Oh? Would like to tell me what do you mean by 'experience'? You are barely 18!"

Valentina didn't know about his reincarnation, but she did know Noah was some as powerful, no more powerful than her.

"About that...umm...we will talk about it later. Right now I have a holy mission to complete." Noah replied and continued to feast on the delicious dinner.

"You still didn't answer my question!! What about the 'problems'?" Valentina knew Noah was strong but that doesn't mean he could solve everything with force.

Noah didn't reply and kept eating without bothering with his mother's worried expression.

Soon the dinner was over and Valentina, Ares, and Noah came back to their guest rooms.

King Abbott had some things to deal with Kale, so they went together.

Caleb wanted to strike a conversation with Ares and follow her but when he looked at her overprotective demoness mother, he shook his head and unwillingly went back to his room.

As soon as they reached towards their guest rooms, Ares stopped before Noah's room, but at that time Valentina stopped as well and gave a stern look to Ares which meant 'Don't go too far just because I am not saying anything.'

Ares bit her lips softly and went back to her own room involuntarily.

Noah smiled wryly at Valentina but Valentina had a concerned look on her face.

She went back to her own room with a slight head shake.

Noah watched Ares and Valentina enter their room and sensed them sitting on mattresses in order to focus on their types of 'law' and comprehend the mysteries of it.

'Hehe, Dear Kale, how can you let a big bad wolf get near you lamb' thought Noah as he turned around while opening the piece of paper which mentioned the directions of a particular room!

.....

*Step~*

Noah was walking through the corridors of the Royal palace as he followed the directions written on the piece of paper.

*Knock* *Knock* Noah knocked on the door of a room and waited patiently for a response.

"Come in~" a sweet melodic voice came from inside the room.

*Creek*

Noah opened the door, entered the room, and closed the door behind him only then he turns around to look inside the room.

The room had a different aesthetic. Instead of shining chandeliers, sweet-scented aromatic candles lighted the room dimly.

A well-crafted, huge bed was in the center of the room.

A ravishing woman with long lustrous black hair, black eyes, and superlative curves was sitting on the bed in a dainty manner. She had a beautiful face that exuded a mature charm.

She was wearing a translucent nightgown which displayed her innerwear.

Noah looked around the room and then showed a wolfish grin.

He stepped towards the bed...

.....

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN ABBOTT?" Kale screamed as soon as heard what King Abbott told him.

"And you kept me in the dark all this time?" Kale asked in disbelieve.

Kale and Abbott have always been good friends even before Silia married Kale. Now that he heard about King Abbott's 'plan', he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

On one hand, it was a great plan, but on the other hand, he was getting involved in it which he didn't like at all.

Kale could only hope that everything goes according to the 'plan'.

"I knew you wouldn't accept this easily, hence I also planned for this..." King Abbott led Kale to a room as they were talking while walking in the corridors of the palace right after having dinner.

King Abbott pointed to a direction, and as soon as Kale looked in that direction he relaxed visibly.

"I'll leave as I have other matters to deal with..."King Abbott said as he turned around and left the room.
