Chapter 601: Eve's hidden power

"Dear… I might have some bad news."

Even now I still couldn't really figure out what Makay deal was in the end. The fact that he managed to make me wish to visit that City of Immortals he mentioned alone could serve as a contribution to his persuasive abilities. Yet, if he was capable of achieving so much with just words, then what was the entire duel that he insisted off about?

Was it just an attempt to gauge my strength? Was this some sort of test with meaning way different to what he openly claimed? Or maybe it was nothing else but just his wits and reliance of the system that pushed the lord to act in this way?

I had no way of judging it. I was in a place where compared to others I could be called a godlike presence. Just like the fight that I witnessed before clashing with Makay proved, right now while not the weakest of them all, I certainly didn't feel confident enough to act with the same, careless attitude as I did before. My strength was no longer sufficient to back this kind of behaviour up!

"What's wrong, dear?"

Caressing her own belly while leisurely sitting in a simple swing-char that I made for her in spare time, Eve didn't seem to be even the tiniest bit surprised by neither my sudden appearance nor the aura that surrounded me.

The last time she saw me, I was rushing in fury towards the man who dared to hurt her sister-in-law. On the other hand, now I was returning with poorly hidden excitement gleaming in my eyes, with my figure expressing the deepest possible regret.

"Should I start with the good news or bad news?"

As I approached Eve's place, she nibly stood up from her seat before pointing at it with her arm. While just this combined with her semi-serious face was enough to elevate her to the peaks of cuteness, yet the hint of seriousness in her eyes still forced me to obidiently follow her mute order.

"Now we can talk."

The moment I could finally lean against the backrest of the huge chair, Eve jumped right on top of my lap, cuddling head right on my shoulder. With her hands wrapping around my waist, I felt as if my entire body was suddenly covered with her and her alone.

"So, don't keep me hanging. Start with the bad news, I prefer to hear the good ones later, to sweeten the sourness of the first part."

Momentarily raising one of her hands to caress my cheek for a bit, Eve sent me an encouraging smile before returning to her favourite position.

"For the bad news… Well, starting with the important ones. I failed to recover Celleria's bloodline. From now on, she won't be able to make any use of what she was given at birth. While at one side it was a painful memento of your bastard father, at the same time it was the only thing you two received from him. At least I can assure the two of you that no one will ever get to use it. I had no other choice and ended up burning it into ashes."

This generally was the one thing that I regretted the most from the entire situation that occurred. Recovering Celleria's bloodline was the absolute priority and reason behind me appearing in the Makay's castle vincity that lead to me witnessing the clash of the absolute monsters of this world along with the later talk and duel with the Makay himself.

"Well… Those are not as bad news. You might've failed to notice it, but Celleria didn't really lament over losing her bloodline. In fact, she didn't even realise it happened before the two of us noticed it…"

Releasing a deep sigh, Eve buried her face in my chest for a moment, panting heavily as if she couldn't get enough of my smell in her delicate nose.

"Hmgghm ghiginuh hmm hampfh."

The tickling feeling of Eve's mouth moving and releasing slight gusts of air directly into my body didn't bear any meaning. In fact, even if they did, her voice was soo muffled due to speaking directly into the cloth of my robes that no matter how hard I tried, I was unable to understand what she actually meant!

"Dear… I understand that you want to speak face to face with my heart, but I'm unable to understand what you want to say like that."

Wrapping my hands around Eve's body, I lightly pressed her towards me in a slight hug, before starting to run my body over her back. Even though that at this point, I was nearly sure that she had my kind in her belly, her body has yet to start changing in any negative way that could affect how easily she was capable of striking fire in my blood. In fact, now that I put my attention to it, her breasts flattened right against my own body felt as if they were a bit… bigger than before?

"Dear…"

Still given no hint about what she muttered into my chest, I could feel my body slowly responding towards her own warmth. At this point, it would be a lie to say that only my curiosity as to what she attempted to say a moment ago was rising!

"How come you can understand me so well, yet fail to understand the heart of a maiden?"

Finally straightening her back and leveling the heigh of our eyes, Eve looked at me with those glistering, big pupils of her, filled to the point of overflowing with yearning. Due to change in the position of her body on my lap, a small amount of free space appeared between our waists, allowing her playful hands to slip right under my pants.

"Listen…"

Leaning her head once again, Eve latched to the side of my neck with her lips, sucking at the skin of my throat with all her might right as her delicate fingers started to wrap around the head of my penis.

"I'm listening."

In this very moment, the two of us already reached the point of no return. With how much blood was flowing down from my entire body towards my hips, where the battle ram of mine continued to grow in size and hardness with every slightest move of Eve's fingers, the options to disband this powerful, invasive force without using it was no longer present.

"With how much she saw us fuck…"

Finally letting go of my neck, Eve once again raised her head, this time latching onto my lips. Given how her entire body was screaming for my touch, at this point I just noticed that my hands found their way towards her bosom, getting rid of the crude material that her robe was made off and freeing her brests from its confinement.

"... isn't it obvious she would start to crave it sooner or later? That's why she was so sad when the man she found to compensate for the lack of your attention turned out to just want to use her as much as she wanted to use him!"

Only after her lips were satisfied, did Eve freed her mouth from the tight grip of my lips, once again putting a bit of distance between our bodies. With her hands leaving the area of my pants abandoned, she wrapped them around my neck before gracing me with yet another lovely smile of hers, revealing the two cute dimples on her flushed cheeks.

"Come out, dear."

Turning her head a bit to the side, Eve called out. This kind of development was kind of sudden. To say that I didn't expect anything of this sort to happen would be the best way of describing the current situation, yet it would fall short of being accurate description of my reaction when I actually saw Celleria coming out from the house that I built over the span of the last few days!

Dressed in nothing but just a muslin gown that didn't hide even a single detail of her body, Celleria slowly approached the two of us with a clear anxiety troubling her otherwise pretty face. For some reason, even though I never really felt any attraction to her, now that she was looking all shy and innocent, not to speak about how Eve was only adding the fuel to the fires of my lust, Celleria's body suddenly gained a strange charm.

"Dear…"

Feeling the touch of Eve's fingers on my cheeks and the slight pressure she added to turn my head back to the position where she would look me right into the eyes, I had no other choice but to stop the eyes' feast and look right into her pupils.

"I know you might be reluctant, but she is still a stepsister of mine. As such, I won't really mind if you help her out in the way she needs the most right now."
