After the inauguration of the new army, Silva was partly done for the day. But more jobs found their way to him.
He had to head somewhere with Lily immediately, as they were building their first major lab in Ribest. In fact, he decided that the white tower of Ribest would be used as the powerhouse of research for the kingdom.
“So are we teleporting directly into the town?” Silva asked as they both left the lights and started walking.
“No, I’ll teleport us a good distance away from the town. You should take a look at the outside before heading inside,” Lily said and made a portal.
The two of them walked in and arrived in the forest near the town, then started walking toward it.
“You know that you are an adult now, right?” Lily asked.
“Yes, I do,” Silva replied without thinking much.
“I’m sure you already knew this, but all actions have cause and effect. Everything you have done so far has caused one thing or another in return.
Your goodwill and your bad will have floated around and given results. Life as an adult is harder and different.
It’s not all about the fight and the power; you now have a responsibility—a responsibility to be a leader to the young.
Let them look at you and aspire to be you. You and I know that you are a merciless being, but to the kids that run the streets, show them a smile.
You might not have had the privilege of a simple childhood, but you should allow them to. That is what an adult would do.”
“But I am not that type of adult,” Silva said.
“Oh, I know. I know that you are not like normal people. You would kill a child if you needed to.
But what I’m saying is what people expect from an adult. You should still try to get some of that into your actions.
But all this is really not why I asked us to come from a distance, neither is the reason to see the town from afar.
All that was bullshit that I cooked up to make it look like a good reason to walk with me.
What I really want to talk about is love, and don’t try to change the topic, Silva,” she said in a threatening tone.
“Cough, why would you want to talk about that?” Silva asked.
“Hmm, you see, Silva, many people are pretty, and many are handsome and cute, but there are few that can reach up to you.
Do you even know how many love letters from young girls of all races we send away? You attract them without needing to speak.
That is how attractive you are. And then there are those that know you. They have lived around you and can tell how much of a wonderful guy you are.
You are a walking piece of hotcake, and every girl wants you, especially those that are close to you.
Normally, a guy like you would be filled with pride, feeling like he was on top of the world. But you act like you don’t know, like you are not aware that you are that attractive,” she said.
“Oh, I’m not clueless. The issue is that I have come to build a large circle of women. Picking one person to date would be an all-out suicide.
I know the situation around me, so I’ve decided not to worry about relationships and keep my eyes closed to all of that.
I don’t know how I’ll handle them all in this case, so I’m running away.”
“I see. Well, there is only so much you can run,” Lily said and suddenly turned, trying to grab Silva. Silva dodged her and put distance between them.
“What the hell are you doing, Lily?” Silva asked.
“Nothing much. I just want you to know that there are more ways to handle an issue like this,” she said and launched at Silva again.
Silva dodged her attack once again and put more distance between them.
“What the hell is going on, Lily?” Silva asked.
“Well, I heard that you are yet to have your first kiss or any serious contact with a lady. I am not one to struggle with others, and that’s why I have brought you here so that we will be alone,” Lily said.
“Huh? What about the place we’re going to?” Silva asked immediately.
“That can wait. I’ll have to hold you down and do what I need to. I refuse to use my abilities so that I can feel how the kiss would be,” she said.
“Lily, you are always so calm and collected. Why are you suddenly like this?” Silva asked. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
“It seems there is a little more about me that you’ll find out soon. Though I still don’t care about how I look and how I behave, all that matters now is getting that kiss from you,” she said and charged at Silva. Silva leaped backward and dodged her attack. Before going in for a counter, he went behind her and hugged her from the back.
“Let’s settle with a hug, alright?” Silva asked, his arms still around her.
“Fine. I’ll let you be for now. Though I don’t know what the others will do. Unlike me, they won’t hold back.
Jade told me she was going to your room, and I am certain she went, right? You see, whether you like it or not, you have created a harem.
Everyone that is a part of it is open to you loving other women, aside from that little brat elf. She feels she can have you all to herself.
It’s a stupid idea, to be honest, because dragons are polygamous in nature. They have an extreme pride and power system, especially the males.
And that is something that shows in all of them and makes them want to have more than one lover and assert dominance.
So that elf is simply dumb to think she can have you. Me, on the other hand, I’ve decided to be the one guarding you and controlling the others.
I have already been doing this for quite a while. You don’t understand why none of them have actually come for you in full force? It was because I always kept them in check.
But from now, I’ll let them do what they want because I’ll be doing what I want as well,” she said. Discover hidden tales at
“My question is really when you started liking me because I didn’t expect it to go that way at all,” Silva said.
“Well, it started—” she paused and looked away for a moment. “We have guests,” she said.
“Take me there,” Silva replied. She nodded and opened a portal. They walked in and came out at a place near the border of their kingdom.
“Lily, let me meet whoever it is that is coming. You wait for me, okay?” Silva said. She nodded and let him go alone.
Silva headed in the direction where he felt three presences. When he got close, he saw three figures headed his way.
A lady and two men. After some time, they stopped a few meters away from Silva.
“Who are you?” Meg came forward and asked.
“I should be the one asking that,” Silva said.
“A cocky brat, huh?” the black-haired guy with a cold expression said and stepped forward.
“Ron, it’s not time to do this,” Meg said.
“Yes, Ron. We didn’t come here to start trouble, at least not until we make it to the capital,” the monk said.
“He is just one kid, Riker. I’ll take care of him quick and gather information,” Ron said and took out his sword.
Silva internally laughed at the stupidity. Who just sees a person and decides to attack out of nowhere?
Ron dashed at Silva. He sent a clean slash at Silva’s chest, wanting to quickly take him down in one move.
His strike hit the target, but it didn’t feel like it. After half a second, the afterimage of Silva faded away.
“Seriously, who are you all?” Silva asked, standing to the side, looking at Ron, who had just attacked.
Ron looked at Silva in shock. How did Silva get there?
“It seems you have some tricks under your belt,” Ron said.
“No, dumbass. I’m simply stronger than you. Use your head. But no, you will not use it. You will rather call my bluff and still attack me,” Silva said.
Ron gritted his teeth when he heard that and charged at Silva. Silva let out a tired sigh and dodged the next attack again.
Ron looked at Silva in disbelief, his anger rising.
“Now, rather than agree that I am stronger than you, you will believe that when you activate your power, you will somehow be able to hit me,” Silva said.
And just like he said, Ron channeled his mana into his sword, and it erupted in blue flames that were very hot.
“Sigh, you are really stupid,” Silva said.
