Chapter 155 A Little Teasing~

"My lady, your highness, greetings. I've brought your water." A maid said from outside the study, prompting Fiona to respond once more.

And upon opening the door, she was surprised to see that it was a relatively young maid that brought the water, and not the elderly maid from before. "Thank you." She said, taking the tray from the maid.

"It is my pleasure, my lady." The maid bowed once more, and turned around to leave.

Fiona closed the door, and returned back to the table.

Upon turning, she was quick to catch Adonis staring back at her. And realizing his actions, the young prince hurriedly turned his head away.

'God, what am I doing?!' He thought with a sigh, avoiding eye contact as best as he could from Fiona.

'My God, he's such a cutie.' She thought, sitting down and preparing a set of tea and cake for the both of them.

She now understood why Damien and her older brother loved teasing her. "Your highness~" She gently called out, her tone soft, and a bit melodic to the ears.

"Ye–Yes..?" Adonis responded, taking the cup of tea and the cake she presented to him. He felt awfully embarrassed and awkward today.

More than ever, at that.

"Let us talk about the coming banquet, and how we want things to flow in our direction." She said, taking on a stern tone. Yet hints of joy were still apparent within her voice.

"The banquet? Oh, so that's why miss Fiona paid me a visit this late at night?" Adonis was slightly surprised, as he was not sure why she was here, and also teasing him.

This brought out a sigh of relief out of him.

Unfortunately, he said that out loud. nOvelb1n

"Hm? Oh my, did young lord Adonis, expect something more spicy from me?" And Fiona took the opportunity to strike while the iron was still hot, teasing him in joy.

Now that she thought about it, her visit was a bit too sudden. Especially since it was past eleven p.m, and close to midnight. Such realization, had her feeling embarrassed as well.

...!!!

Adonis realized his mistake, and he hurriedly lowered his head in humiliation. His cheeks were painted red, and his thoughts were chaotic. 'I SAID THAT OUT LOUD?!' He dreaded his situation.

Meanwhile, Fiona was also partially embarrassed. Her cheeks were flushed red, as the topic itself was way out of her mind.

Talking about things like this with a boy was a first for her. Especially so, when the boy wasn't that far apart to her. In both age and status.

The fact that they could actually entangle right now, and no one would judge them, was too much for a virgin maiden such as herself.

He had attempted to create a few time spells he knew off, but ended up making a mistake. He almost destroyed the resources he used, by causing them to age backwards instead.

His foundation of magic in this lifetime was poor. And even with his experience, he could only cast first and second spells at best. Third if he truly tried.

As for fouth circle spells? That was a different story altogether. And space magic and time magic were divine categorized magic. Unique magic to be precise.

"Its fine, either way." He said, standing up on the roof. "In a few weeks, she will have that solved. Until then, let's see what Destiny has in store for me today." He waved his hand, and conversed with Destiny.

Their future was still vibrant. There was no need to mentally twinkle with Destiny at the moment.

Plus, he was afraid of gaining the attention of the gods. Especially so, a certain dragon goddess born out of Destiny itself.

"I wonder... if your Destiny will be the same even in this lifetime." He subconsciously thought out loud, "For who knew that, the daughter of Destiny, and the one with the highest attainments of Destiny, would be incapable of deciphering her own Destiny."

The night went by, and soon enough, the weekend came by, the banquet was held, and both Adonis and Fiona perfectly took care of everything. Damien and Juliette were also invited.

Connections were formed, and introductions were made. Friends were born, and enemies arose. But ultimately, it was a peaceful encounter.

Adonis even went as far as introducing the Silver Project, and the founders of the project itself, the Silver family, and their achievements in magic and combat arts.

And though most were skeptical, and others were curious, nobody chose to fight with them, as the couple was quite rich. After all, Adonis introduced them as his supporters.

Plus, the high grade delicacies that they were having, which increased Mana, stats or even heal slight injuries and fatigue, were also said to come from them.

This of course attracted many eyes from the nobles, as a lot of people knew the value of such resources.

Yet Damien and Juliette did nothing to stop it. Nor did Adonis. They in fact, pretended as if everything was okay.

The banquet was then over after a couple of hours, and people retreated back to their households, where they began their plans and schemes.

Meanwhile, within the lounge of the castle of Avarice, Adonis could not help but slightly frown. "Are you sure this is okay, Lord Damien? Can your people handle it?" He inquired.

Even Fiona besides him was also worried, as she knew the hearts of human kind. There would not be happy with the success of their competitors.

"It's okay. Let them come. We will just uproot them faster this way." Damien brushed the matter off as he spoke, leaning back on the sofa he sat on.

"..."

"..."

Adonis and Fiona could only exchange gazes, and remain silent. They believed in Damien and Juliette's strength, but a part of them still worried for their situation.

But Damien and Juliette remained unbothered still, only bidding farewell and going back home together. They were completely worry-less.

And there were three reasons why they were not worried. The first was that, Juliette placed out inscriptions, formations and arrays around the Silver estate, which warded off outsiders.

While Damien set out runes and sigils atop them. All five of these layered together, created quite a paradiscal environment for their people.
