The air between them was tense now as they looked at each other in silence. The healer was rather glaring, completely in disbelief that Aeric could recognize her.
The reason was fairly simple, with a brain powered by an overflow of Divinity, Aeric also had a sharp memory. It was impossible for him to forget any face or any image no matter how far away in time it was. Even if it was when he was just a newborn baby.
"How could you know that? How could you recognize me?" the healer asked, shock clear in her face.
"So it really is you." Aeric half-smirked. "I'd never imagined that I would see you again."
Still shaken by the fact that Son Aeric had just recognized her even though he had never seen her ever since she helped give birth to him, the healer shook her head and returned to her work. She rubbed the wet towel on him more vigorously now.
Aeric watched her. "If you don't mind me asking, miss. What's your name?"
The healer stopped cleaning, head still down. "Please, Son Aeric. No more conversations. Let me work and leave."
Aeric puckered his lips. He wasn't satisfied with that as his curiosity was in the high now. 'Let me try the system,' he thought. 'If she's an Awakened Player, then I'll see her name.'
[Player Profile: Edna of Elysium]
[Class: Vitalist]
'Edna,' he pondered. 'So she's from the Elysium Plains. That makes sense. Her Vitalist Class explains why she's now a healer.'
But this woman, this Edna of Elysium was the very same midwife who had wanted him dead the very moment he had been brought into the world, and now she was his healer?. What had happened?
His eyes narrowed at her and when he talked, his voice was laced with uncertainty, unsure of how to feel about this unexpected reunion. "You're no longer the head midwife in the royal birthing chamber, but a healer now? How... how did that come to be?"
Aeric couldn't help but feel a mixture of emotions - part of him was wary, another part curious, and the last one was very mischievous. He watched Edna closely, waiting to hear her explanation.
"You refuse to stay quiet. Is that what a Son of Eros is like?" she looked at him squarely now. "Disobedient?"
Aeric shrugged a bit. "Well, Edna, you have to agree with my plight here. Imagine seeing the woman he tried to have me killed as an infant taking care of me now. How am I sure that you haven't given me anything to kill me? Is that even healing water?"
Edna's eyes widened in shock as she felt something hard pressing against the back of her arm. Turning around and glancing down, she was stunned to see the outline of Aeric's massive erection straining against his shorts that were barely holding it down.
Her mouth fell open, unable to hide her surprise at the sight. Aeric simply shrugged, a sly grin spreading across his face.
She turns and snaps at him. "This is greatly inappropriate, Son Aeric."
"Inappropriate?" Aeric laughed at the irony. "Rich word coming from you. Do you think I did not know that you were masturbating beside me when I arrived."
Edna gasped. "You were awake?"
"You were being very depraved and perverted, Lady Edna. I didn't know you were such a horny woman." Somehow, Aeric's voice turned low and seductive as he continued.
Edna tried to scold him, flustered by his forwardness. "Please. If you want to speak to me, speak to me with respect! I am your healer, not-"
But Aeric quickly cut her off, his words dripping with honeyed persuasion. "Oh, but I know the truth. It has been a while for you hasn't it? Ever since a man touched you. You've become very needy, Lady Edna. Especially since your husband died. Which is why you became a healer, to make more money, didn't you?"
"And now, here I am, Lady Edna, offering you the chance to use my glorious cock and satisfy yourself." He glanced pointedly at the bulge in his shorts.
Edna's eyes darted between Aeric's face and his groin, her lips quivering with uncertainty. "What are you saying ? That can not be done, please."
What the hell did he mean by using him to satisfy herself. She was panicking now.
'A prince such as him... wanting an older woman like me?' The thought was almost too much for her to comprehend.
Aeric grinned to himself, seeing that she was considering the offer and was most likely going to decide yes.
'I'll give her what she wants. Then, I'll fuck her so hard, she'll for my forgiveness. Beg to be my slave, because no one else will be able to satisfy her like I can. She'll be addicted and she'll continue to apologize forever for wanting me dead on my birth day.'
Edna's resolve began to crumble, her gaze fixated on the tantalizing bulge before her. She knew she shouldn't, but the temptation was too strong to resist...
Aeric's eyes darkened. 'And once I'm done fucking her, I'm gonna [Claim] whatever her Main Skill is.'
