Chapter 347 Getting Slapped
?Lunaria and Celestia stared at Erich in complete and total disbelief for several seconds of awkward silence. Almost as if they believed they had not heard the man correctly, and then out of nowhere both of them flushed red in embarassment, as Lunaria began to stammer wildly, completely unable to form a proper sentence as she did so.
"What? But, you, me, we, how? You don't even know me!"
Erich however chuckled when he heard this. In both lives, he had never been able to get the ancient and majestic beauty to blush like a little schoolgirl. It was honestly the cutest thing he had ever seen, and he was quick to voice this thought aloud.
"You're adorable... In the damn near thirty years we have known each other, I have never been able to get such a reaction from you... I suppose this is coming out of nowhere. After all, in this timeline, this is our first meeting, at least in person..."
Lunaria was convinced Erich was a madman, she honestly could no longer tell if the man was lying to her or being truthful, but Celestia was quick to catch onto his words, as she pointed at the man with wide eyes that were filled with disbelief.
"You're a Sage!"
Lunaria looked back and forth between her daughter and Erich, and was quick to deny this potential reality.
"That's not possible! The sages are only found among the Elven species! Besides, those old fogies are all full of shit!" The initial posting of this chapter occurred via N0v3l.B11n.
Erich looked at Lunaria with an expression that pointed out her hypocrisy, something he was quick to comment on himself.
Erich smirked when he heard this, before saying exactly what Lunaria was about to do to him.
"Your mother is going to slap the ever living shit out of me..."
After saying this Erich did not wait for a response and shamelessly leaned forward and kissed Lunaria, shocking both herself and her daughter. After tasting her lips again for the first time in what felt like a lifetime, Erich sat back in his seat with a dumb smile on his face as he closed his eyes and waited for the inevitable.
And just as Erich had predicted a loud slap resounded throughout the interior of the luxury yacht. Along with a red handprint on Erich's cheek. Still, he did not stop smiling. Despite the fact that Lunaria and Celestia were both glaring daggers at him.
Lunaria hissed through her clenched teeth, so enraged by Erich's shamelessness, that she honestly still could not believe he had just forced a kiss upon her.
"You dare! You dare steal my first kiss! There are not words to express the level of pain you will suffer from my hand-"
Before Lunaria could finish her thought, her eyes widened, and she froze on the spot. A thousand images flashed through her head in that moment, memories of the good times that she and Erich had shared in their past life.
Erich had never before dared to violate Lunaria's mind with his telepathy, but at this moment he felt the need to project his memories. Or else she might actually have him executed for his bold actions just now.
Of course, Erich did not include the memories that he regretted, or how he turned away from Lunaria and his other lovers after he had been forced to join the Terminus Hive. Nor did he include the group activities between him, Lunaria, and Celestia. As he felt that in that moment, she would not be able to handle such a scandalous revelation.
And once Lunaria had awoken from her daze, she stared at Erich in a way that Celestia had never witnessed the woman ever stare at anyone before. A single name escaped the ancient Elven beauty's lips, as she tried to determine if what she had seen and felt just now was all real.
"Erich...."
