Chapter 148: Problem with Girls

In the Romen Household's backyard, Avion looked at the mirror-like blade in his hand. With this as his weapon, the assassination skills that he practiced would reach their full potential!

'I never thought of making use of these newly-learned skills for assassination to be honest.' he sighed in his mind.

"He's growing so fast. Is he really a mortal? Why does it feel like he was an old veteran recalling back his skills?" Darea thought but was heard by Avion since she was in her Immaterial Body.

'Hmm... I think so too.' Avion smiled, 'Maybe I do have this kind of talent hehe.'

Somehow, his fear of blade was getting lesser as he practiced with it. The more he used it the more he knows how to counter it.

'Next time, I would not use a blade. But learning about your fear makes it less scary.' he decided.

The sun was setting already and Avion just finished his last round of training at that period. At this moment, Darea causally said;

"Their talk in the Power Circle is so easy to hear. As expected of Rank Bih Elementalist."

She spoke very kind towards Avion, "Since the envoy from the Danhan Royal Family will approximately four days later, these royalties will surely have their pool party before this. You should be ready to kill by then."

Avion nodded to this.

In a way, Darea loves Avion, but not in a romantic way. It's like how one loves their pet or how they love their new PS5.

For her, Avion is the ultimate tool. The more she learns about him, the more she sees his value.

Through these days, Avion had already told her a few percentages of what he read. Don't underestimate Avion's vast knowledge. Although it is not detailed, he knew the past, the present, and the future. Not just the near past and future, it is the beginning and the end of the universe itself!

Also, it is not as simple as narrating history. He also shares his thoughts and ideas while he was in his mood.

Avion knew Darea wouldn't kill him... for now. He learned in her thoughts that as long as he has value, he was safe. So he became less fearful of her.

He looks at her as if he was looking at a friend even though she is practically his master and potential hell bringer. The reason was, they were almost kindred spirits!

When he says his thoughts and ideas, Darea doesn't get bored but instead, she was immersed too during their time together in the night.

Darea's interest was not lesser than Avion's so saying that they are fated together is not that far-off now.

But that doesn't mean that his cautiousness disappears. Every thought he hears from her, he etched it in his mind, he may use it in the future.

He even learned some sensitive things. For example, the time for Darea's "period" and her past embarrassments.

One time, while Avion was training, Darea remembered an embarrassing past.

It goes like this- She was being trained by a master she wanted to surpass centuries ago. She was still training Fire Elesps back then and that master is also called a Fire Dancer.

Sometimes, that master would dance in front of the royalties as entertainment. It was a very enticing dance. In a simpler explanation, it was just belly dancing with rigorous flames along with it.

It separates her from a normal belly dancer because she's a Fire Elementalist which is acceptable to nobles. it does not taint her reputation.

Since Darea is a genius, when she watches her master moves, she got the grasp of movements.

One day, when she was about to surpass her master, that master said, "Prove me that you have properly learned from me."

In the next day, her master was late on her performance. Darea misunderstood this and thought that this was her master's intention.

"I can do this!" she has confidence on her talent and on top of it, she was an exceptional beauty!

When her master was called on the stage, she was the one who got up and began passionately dancing.

She didn't think if she was doing it wrong or not. She just thought of doing it!

Darea remembered how she passionately danced with all she got. Sweat trickled down her body as her energy was almost exhausted with the brilliant fire performance she gave.

After her dance, she saw the crowd was silent.

'They must've been speechless from my performance!' Darea was a girl full of confidence. She almost has no insecurity.

When she got down, she saw her master. What her master said was etched on her memory for it to forever last.

"Darea, you do know that I am not only a Fire Dancer but also the head of a noble family, right? I dance not for the crowd but for the royalties. I am actually called up to the stage because I have to give a speech, not to dance... hehe-erhm!"

Darea clearly remembered how her master was restraining her laughter and embarrassment at the same time.

"Why did they not stop me?"

"Well, because you looked so passionate about it... and also because you're too fast to act."

"You mean I unnecessarily danced with all I got in front of the crowd for the whole ten minutes?"

"Yes... hehe-argh!... Ehem!... hehe..."

From that point on, Darea got a lot of love letters but she would roar at them in secret. Once she surpassed her master, she immediately left the place.

She still remembers how she was so confident and how the crowd just watched her while not saying anything for a whole ten minutes!

Avion tried not to laughed back when he heard this in her thoughts. He glanced at Darea who was keeping a poker face but he could notice the redness on her face.

After learning that, how could he treat this Conqueress as a monster?

But he has a problem and it has something to do with another girl.

In the backyard, there are a lot of gardens with their own extricate designs. There is one part that is like a maze of trees. 

Avion oscillated his head over the trees and saw someone who suddenly hid behind one tree.

Noticing his gaze, this maid silently walked away, trying to escape.

But could she escape Avion? He disappeared in front of Darea but the latter was not surprised.

"Fuck, what ar-"

"Kyah-!" Jamina felt her heart almost jump from her chest as she made a little shrill. She was about to drop on her back but was caught.

Thud* Thud* Thud*

"Sorry, I can't stop appearing like this. It must be surprising..." Avion stopped speaking when he saw Jamina using her two hands to cover her face without saying anything.
