Chapter 816: Chapter 814-Many......Many......Plans.



"You are getting your ass kicked bad for a no-ability bet."

I again spoke to Ella, ignoring the guy named Lampok, feeling a little bad for him. It looks like his parents went into no-thinking mode before they called him something.

"It's just a rough patch, he's good, that's all," Ella replied with a small edge to her tone. But it still can't hide the fact that she is indeed noticing the fact that she is getting her ass kicked. But even above that, Ella would have also noticed the fact that her moves are being read. Ella wouldn't be Ella, leading the faction mind within the faction of Carmel if she didn't understand the fact that the opponent in front of her is somehow reading her mind.

The flat proof of it is in the game table itself, where Ella had made a foolish move in which the normal response would be to take another attack. But to the ones that can understand the mild intent of the mind, Lampok took a different action, and this has only gone forth to prove Ella's suspicions.

But sadly for Ella, even though she can understand it unless she can prove how it's happening, she won't be able to call it out. Because in the scene right now, she is losing, and if she were to call it out now, to the eyes of the crowd, it would be the false call of a sore loser. And if she calls out and can't prove how it's happening, it would only damage her reputation and, worse, the reputation of the faction she holds.

'Looks like all of them have started to make their moves.'

I mused, feeling all the ones gathered around and the ones watching on with certain wide eyes. The funny thing here is that Lampok isn't just doing this to get the fame-that is just the desire in him-but there is the higher command here of humiliating the mind and the planner of Carmel's faction.

These movements being started by the faction that had been formed around by the ones that came from outside the ones from the powerful organisations with their ego making their moves. Of course, these so-called factions are illegal and should not be created, but they are using the loopholes, and now they wish to exist legally. And for it, they need the ring, and they need to humiliate factions one by one until they break it all down.

First, they have started their movements, and Ella is the very first one among those who are targeted. And it will only keep getting worse from here on out, too, my sense detecting the ones supporting Lampok and also understanding the fact that Lampok, in a sense, is another smart head of the faction that is controlling all this.

The dude is angry at me for taking away the attention of the girls and taking away the attention of the whole crowd scenario-that is his moment to shine. Though sadly, I can't let that bet go at all. After all, I need the current faction to exist. Maybe one of them can go, and it will go. When I say it can go, the little cat prince is slowly getting on my nerves, too.

"We are still playing this match."

Lampok spoke again, his voice was a little more hardened than before, this causing my anger to flare inside me. The thought that a mortal can talk to me like this going and hitting at my ego. Though the moment it happened, I played in my mind the scene that happened some time ago―me on my knees, unable to do anything but accept my death within the realm of corruption.

And the utter feeling of being treated like an ant, easily bursting the bubble of my ego. My realm of corruption and even order took a back seat as I relaxed, my expressions staying the same, and this scene of me going almost berserk and turning back to normal happened at a speed that none of the mortals here could understand. So, within a moment, I replied.

"I hear you. I just wanted to have a talk with Ella here, and if you want to stop me, bring anyone here to stop me, then."

"I came and warned you in a small regard for Carmel, but that doesn't mean I am stupid enough to just tell you the answer."

My words seemingly made Ella smirk as she replied.

"I mean, isn't it valuable to you too? Me losing would be bad for all of us. The reputation of

the original factions might go down the drain."

'As expected, she has understood the final intentions.'

I made an inward nod at her powers to understand the situation, and to it, I spoke, shrugging

my shoulder.

"Who would dare talk bad about my faction after I showed the world the things I got? I'd like to see the ones who can....."

My words broke her expression for a moment, after which she coolly replied.

"Then, at least do it for Carmel. The two of you are close, and she also recently even opened up the archery club to your control, too, against my better judgment. Just what did you do to my beloved leader to make her take a step back?"

Intense curiosity and even a hint of apprehension in her tone as Ella asked this of me. She, being a close confidant of Carmel, could understand the fact that there was a deeper story between me and Carmel. And once Carmel gets back, it won't take long for Ella to figure out the fact that Carmel might perhaps be in love with me.

'And then her stance would change in another way.'

In all regards, I am a good, protective husband for Carmel, too. The only issues would be with the fact of certain political matters. And in a sense, if Carmel is to succeed, then I would perhaps become the next Consort Emperor and directly turn into Ella's boss, too. Though none of it has happened yet, it is still bound to take place.

That's how the story goes in the game. And even above that, that's how we also begin to arouse the deep, dark desire in Ella's heart. In the game, I had only knowledge of it, but right now, looking face-to-face with Ella, I can see that dark desire still festering in her heart. It's hidden, and even Ella doesn't know about it, and it's our duty as the player to bring it out in the game.

The deep, dark desire to cuckold, her best friend and the next Empress...
