Chapter 258 255: Eliana & Val!

"I brought a gift for you," Val said as he gently embraced her, whispering the words into her ear. His husky tone resonated warmly within her, causing her earlobe to flush with a tinge of red. It was a tender, intimate moment between them.

"What gift?" Eliana lifted her head and looked into Val's eyes. His eyes were warm and full of kindness, while her eyes sparkled with a mix of excitement and curiosity.

She wasn't one to long for material things, and she always felt indebted when Val gave her things without asking for anything in return. However, a part of her could not help but feel thrilled when she received a gift from the man she loved and had devoted her entire self to.

With a gentle smile plastered on his face, Val carefully pulled out the Fortified Armor from his Void Orb and held it out for Eliana to see.

"This armor is unlike any other. It has top-notch passive defensive properties, ensuring your protection. What makes it even more special is its ability to adjust its size to fit you perfectly. You won't have to worry about it being too tight or too loose. But that's not all; the armor can absorb the damage from up to three attacks every day, storing that energy. Later, it can release that stored energy in a counterattack."

"Most impressively, it is designed to be discreet. A special rune not only makes it so comfortable that it's like a second skin but also ensures that no one will even realize you're wearing a piece of armor."

Val took his time detailing every last feature of the armor to Eliana.

It wasn't just because he wanted her to be aware of the capabilities of this incredible piece; it was also a subtle way to deepen her feelings for him.

In his mind, the more she understood the value and utility of the armor, the more she would feel indebted to him, and indebtedness could sometimes be a powerful catalyst for love. In this case, it would deepen not only her feelings for him but also her dependency on him. Later on, she might dread the idea of living without him.

Additionally, she needed to know what the armor was capable of to use it effectively in times of need where a single moment decides life and death.

Eliana listened to him attentively.

Her eyes widened as she realized that the armor's value surpassed even that of rank-2 cursed artifacts.

She thought about her own contributions to their relationship and felt they paled in comparison to what Val was giving her. How could she accept something so valuable when she had done so little to deserve it?

It was clearly a precious item. Any other person would have just taken it. However, she was a unique case. Instead of swiftly accepting it before Val changed her mind, she attempted to hand the armor back to him.

"Val, this is too much. I can't possibly accept something so valuable from you for free, regardless of how close we are. As much as I appreciate the gesture, you should wear it yourself. You're the one going on a dangerous expedition," she said to him earnestly.

Val shook his head, refusing to take it back from Eliana. Instead, he pushed it towards her once again.

"Look, this armor might be a valuable item to others, but for me, it isn't worth a single inch of your body. When I'm gone on the expedition, this armor will keep you safe on my behalf," Val looked into her eyes earnestly as he added, "So if not for yourself, then at least keep it for my peace of mind. Or, do you really want me to be constantly worried about you while I'm in a dangerous place like the lesser dimension?"

Eliana felt butterflies dancing wildly in her stomach. When it comes to her, Val had always been incredibly considerate and caring, which just made it even harder for her to accept such an extravagant gift from him.

Her lover was too to her. That was all the more reason why she couldn't take advantage of him!

However, what he said made sense. If the armor wasn't there to keep her safe, it might make him worry unnecessarily when he was away on dangerous expeditions. She had been targeted multiple times by devils as if she held something they were attracted to, so his worries weren't unfounded. Besides, if she refused to accept his gift again, it might hurt his feelings.

She found herself at a crossroads, unsure how to proceed. Unable to make a decision, she neither refused nor accepted his gift.

Val made the decision for her, putting the armor on her body swiftly.

"Thank you," Eliana thanked Val sincerely.

Val gave her a playful smile, "I only accept thanks in kisses."

Val had learned this trick from Gruul, and he was now using it on Eliana romantically.

There was a reason for it.

Keeping the romance alive was important for maintaining the 'strength' and 'happiness' of their relationship, after all.

At his words, her cheeks warmed with a blushing glow blushed. However, as she finally gained the chance to do something for him, she asked, "Where do you want me to kiss you?"

Val pointed at his cheek, and because of the height difference, she stood on her toes to place a gentle kiss there.

Val gestured to his other cheek, his eyes twinkling mischievously, "And don't forget this side, it's getting jealous," he said to her teasingly.

Eliana couldn't help but blush even deeper, yet she complied with his wishes and placed a gentle kiss on his other cheek.

Val then pointed to his lips, making it obvious what he wanted next.

"Lastly, here."

Eliana's face turned a shade that could only be described as beet red, almost like a steamed crab, but she leaned in and kissed him on the lips. n.-0vElb1n

Val skillfully used his tongue to part her soft lips, turning the simple contact between them into a French kiss full of passion and longing.

As they kissed, Eliana felt something hard poke her tummy. She was far from naive; she understood immediately what it was.

After the kiss broke, she placed her hand over his hardness, feeling his desire beneath her silky soft fingers that were pinkish-red at the tip.

She looked into his eyes seriously, and said, "I want to do it with you. And I know you want me too."

Val locked eyes with her, "Are you absolutely sure about this?"

"Yes, I'm sure," Eliana confirmed with a nod, her gaze never leaving his.

At the end of the day, Val was a man with his own desires and needs, and Eliana was a woman who he had developed feelings for.

Thus, he had no desire to resist her needlessly. That night, he embraced her and took from her her chastity. He felt good to know that he was her first man.

It has been a while since they've gotten together, but today, Eliana has finally shared an intimate night with her beloved. Her feelings for him surged to another level, crossing the 90-point mark!
