Chapter 784 Fighting Over Arad
Back home, Arad walked out of his gold bed with Meryem trotting behind him, staring at his massive black wings. He stopped and looked up, "My clone is a bit of trouble. He's stuck dealing with Sena."
"Sena? What did she do?" Meryem asked tilting her massive head.
"She transformed into a void drakaina and is trying to seduce me. I wouldn't say it isn't working, but he should be able to resist, to an extent." He turned toward her.
"Wait! That's cheating, what is she doing?" Meryem gasped.
"I know..."
"She should've taught me how to do it." Meryem added before Arad could finish speaking, and he stared at her with a disappointed face. "You can't be serious."
"I'm serious. We should stop her, as she might actually win." He shifted into his humanoid form and so did Meryem, he then grabbed her by the hand, and they both teleported back to the living room.
"Aella! Are you here?!" He called.
Aella silently ran toward the stairs and looked down at him, "Shhh! Serin is asleep." She whispered.
Arad couldn't feel Serin's magic as Aella was playing with wind magic above her to put her to sleep.
Arad nodded, waving his hand for her to come. "Hurry," He whispered.
Aella jumped toward him, "What is it?"
Arad explained what Sena was trying to do and Aella gasped, "Wait? Are you serious, she can do that?"
"I wish she taught me how to do it. I wouldn't have to worry about mana then." Meryem nodded and Aella stared at her. "You...don't get at all, do you?"
"Tina, where is everyone?"
Tina quickly explained that Eris was away with Ignis and that Isdis and Mira were in the castle taking a look at the building process. Almost everyone is busy, and not many can move.
"What about Merida?" Arad asked.
"She went to visit her father's parent's grave. We should give her some time alone," Tina approached him. "What is this problem you've been talking about?"
As Arad explained, Tina started thinking... "How about her, she could help." She turned toward the couch...The couch was empty. "Wait, don't tell me went there again."
Tina sighed, going upstairs to Arad's room as he, Aella, and Meryem followed her. When they entered they could see Betty asleep on Arad's bed. "Even though I took her out earlier, she returned to you bed." She looked at Arad.
"Betty? Can she help?" Aella looked at Tina.
"She was bragging about how could go from here to her house in the university is like me taking a step forward. She even went there and brought her pajama that she's sleeping with while I was pouring her tea." Tina explained, "Couldn't you ask her to help?"
"I'm afraid that she does ask for what we're trying to prevent Sena from doing." Aella sighed.
"You do underestimate me, Aella..." Betty opened her eyes, looking at him with a smile. "I'll help him for free. I'm not that unhinged." She giggled.
Arad stared at her with a suspicious stare, "You just want to crush the competition. Don't you?"
"You were listening from the start." Tina stared at her.
"I'll be happy to take you on. But you, not a fake mask." Arad sat up and stared at her.
Sena's eyes opened wide... "Me? Not a fake mask." She touched her face.
"Yeah, why do you need to shift into a void drakaina to get my attention? Couldn't you do it in any other way? Like everyone else?" He approached her, but Betty sat between them. "Arad, be fair to us all."
"I know." He giggled.
"Are you two done fooling around?" Selica stared at them. "I wanted to take a bath after Lady Sena. Can you give us some time?"
"How about we all take a bath together?" Sena looked at them.
"Good idea!" Betty agreed because she could take a bath with Arad.
"Lady Sena!" Selica gasped.
"You're joining us." Sena gave her a thumbs up.
Back in Alina, Arad sighed, "It backfired, Sena managed to take Betty to her side."
"I knew it, we can't trust Betty!" Aella sighed.
"I want to be there." Meryem stared at Arad, "Can we take a bath together."
"Master..." Tina looked at him. "What shall we do?"
"No need to worry." Arad scratched his head, "I wanted to end this peacefully, but..." He closed his eyes tattoos appeared across all of his body. He gave full control to Doma and she used [Virgo] To shift his body to suit her.
"Why?" Aella stared at him. "Doma, can you help?"
"[Of course, who do you think I am?]" She flicked her fingers, and Arad's clone, Betty, Sena, and Selica all fell on each other on Arad's bed.
Doma then turned Arad back to normal and gave him control.
"Did you teleport us here?" Sena gasped, unable to believe that someone managed to teleport her against her will.
"[No. I activated the expansion that allows me to exit time and space and pulled you with me. Then when I returned to space and time, I chose this location and time to appear, alongside you.]" Doma explained as she took over Arad's clone and shifted it with [Virgo]
"That was the same expansion that allowed him to hit me." Betty stared at her, "Master Doma, why do you have to get in the way."
"[I'm not getting in the way. There is no way that Arad would fit in that small dorm bath.]" She sighed.
"I wanted to sit on his lap..." Sena mumbled.
"[Thus, use Arad's royal bath. It's the first thing Isdis and Mira finished here. I already sent a message to Isdis so she can lock the women's section for us to use.]"
"Can I not?" Arad stared at them.
"[It's fair if everyone is allowed to join, right?]" Doma looked at Aella.
"That isn't how this should work."
