Lilith entered a state of deep focus while constantly eyeing Sera with a cold, calculated gaze. Though, she did spare a few moments to instead stare at the back of my head. At the end of the day, I was her opponent, not my slave.
I found it curious that the Scarlet Lilies allowed Sera to stare at them to her heart’s content. If it was me, they most certainly would’ve told me to turn around once again.
They probably did this because they considered her to be a mistreated, miserable slave who was forced to sit in his master’s embrace without a single care for her as if she were an object and not a living, feeling woman.
As the auctioneer began counting down, Lilith sighed. She didn’t speak up to overbid me once again.
“Master! Congratulations on your grand victory!” Seraphiel declared for all to hear before she leaned in and gave me a long, loving kiss. For the first time since we began our nearly incessant flirting weeks ago, her tantalizing lips didn’t land on my cheeks but directly on my lips. She tilted her head to the side so that she could continue eyeing the Scarlet Lilies.
“Huh?” Scar gasped with shock, followed by the tanker’s dumbfounded “What the hell is she doing…?” disbelieving question. Indeed, unless a slave owner had my means available to them, they couldn’t order their slave to do what Seraphiel just did, which could only mean one thing – she kissed me of her own free will.
The fifth member of their team, a spear-wielder who very tactfully named herself Spear, shot to her feet out of the sheer surprise that assaulted her brain due to my healer’s bold actions.
Void didn’t seem to care while Lilith merely continued her cold glaring right into Sera’s mischievous eyes, though I couldn’t help but note a small hint of disbelief even on her icy features.
<You cheeky elf, you should know what kissing me like this means, right?>
<No, master. This is not an ‘I love you so much!!!’ kiss but a ‘stop glaring at my man like he’s garbage, you dumb bitches!’ kiss. So don’t think you’ve already conquered my heart, you gotta keep working for it…>
<Didn’t you just call me ‘your man’?>
<… A mere slip of the tongue.>
<Quite literally; your tongue keeps slipping deeper and deeper into my mouth. You do know they can’t see it, right? Our lips touching should be more than enough.>
<You can never be safe enough when it comes to crafty grannies like these!>
<You- > I was rudely interrupted before I could finish my response.
<Stop yapping in my mind already, primordial entity Quinlan Noir! Let me enjoy my kiss while I smugly look down on these terrifying monsters who could end me in a single second!>
I couldn’t help but notice that calling me ‘primordial entity’ followed by my full name was used by Seraphiel to let me know that she was truly serious about something. I chuckled inwardly but decided to let her enjoy her moment of bravery.
Naturally, I wasn’t one to sit idly by while she used me as a prop to fulfill her fantasies, so I quickly grabbed onto her buttcheeks – which wasn’t a hard thing to do considering she was dressed in her belly dancer attire – and began kneading them with so much satisfaction that I felt like my brain begin melting away from the sheer amount of senses that were being sent to it at lightning speed.
Truly, elves were heavenly creatures.
It was at this exact moment I decided that having merely two elves in my harem was just not going to cut it. Those were rookie numbers, I needed to be more ambitious.
… Didn’t they have a hot queen?
We continued as such for the next minute until a strong *Khm! Khm!* sounded from my left. I disconnected from [Overlord’s Eyes] and turned my head just enough to see a crimson red-cheeked princess eye me with a great deal of embarrassment.
“Lord Black, I think… this might go against our laws…?”
Are you asking me? I’m perhaps the most wanted criminal in the country right now, not exactly a person you should ask about laws. However, I had to agree, we were a bit too much into each other right now, I had to use the oldest trick in any man’s book to hide my raging boner, which was to aim it upwards and let my belt and shirt do all the work.
I detached my tongue from Sera’s – which took quite a bit of effort since she stubbornly clung to mine as if her life depended on it – and replied, “You must be right, my fair princess… I apologize for this momentary oversight of mine. Thank you for stopping us before it was too late.”
Her red cheeks deepened to an even deeper shade as she perfectly understood what I meant by ‘before it was too late’.
“Who are you calling your fair princess?! Who do you think you are?! Remove your mask and identify yourself right this moment!” Her head maid spoke up once again as the old woman began furiously shouting at me, but she was silenced by a single glance from Felicity.
“As long as you understand, Lord Black.” She smiled brightly, letting me know that I hadn’t made a mistake when I decided that she was a good girl. If she had a nasty personality, she could’ve caused quite a ruckus as I not only danced on the line with me feeling Seraphiel’s ass up in front of her but also called her by a somewhat informal title. I wasn’t disrespectful per se, but not overly courteous either.
And just as so, the event continued. Extravagant items were sold off one after the other, but none were good enough to make me want to spend a fortune on them. It wasn’t like I came to this event wishing to spend all my money, I wouldn’t mind if I had a couple hundred left to invest elsewhere.
I wasn’t alone in not finding something worthwhile of my coins, however, as I observed the princess getting more and more anxious by the minute. “Not this… This one is not good either… No…” She cutely began voicing her thoughts out loud due to her rapidly mounting anxiety.
While it was a rather adorable sight, I elected to intervene; “My fair princess, you seem to be greatly troubled. Maybe this humble man could offer his assistance?” Stay updated with empire
Although I didn’t know it at the time, this haphazard decision of mine would drastically alter the future of many, mine included.
