Chapter 273: The Queen of Hearts Returns
Having successfully conquered Nina’s heart and body, Alex awoke to find a familiar face staring at him the next morning. The Queen of hearts appeared to be in a rather upset mood. She was clearly pouting at Alex in a way that made him deeply uncomfortable.
Though the prize wheel was standing proudly nearby, more opulent than over. The Scarlet haired and tattooed beauty refused to say a word, or give it a spin. That is, until Alex finally sighed heavily, and asked what exactly was wrong with her.
“What crawled up your ass?”
Such a crude statement caused the Queen of Hearts to pout even more, and fluster in rage, as she eventually snapped at Alex.
“Nothing! That’s the fucking problem?”
Alex looked at the woman as if she had gone completely and utterly insane before questioning what the hell she meant by such nonsense.
“I’m sorry what? Do you want something up your ass?”
The Queen of Hearts felt the need to smack Alex across the face, but by some miracle managed to control her emotions as she took a deep breath and a heavy exhale before commenting on Alex’s crass remarks.
Normally Alex’s go to position when dealing with an angry woman was to not give a shit, and play whatever role would get her to stop yapping at him, but even he felt a little guilty after leaving the Queen in such a terrible state during their previous encounter.
While the fact remained he has had an incredibly difficult time just trying to survive here in Mexico, a violent and bloody arc that the system forced him into, he still had to admit that he should have paid more attention to the Queen of Hearts, who was basically the only person who really knew who he was in this world.
Thus, Alex climbed out of his bed, while Nina still slept, and hugged the furious woman in an attempt to calm her wrath.
“I’m sorry. I should have been more attentive to your needs. While I had my own fair share of shit to deal with, it wasn’t right of me to ignore you like that, especially when you needed me… Do you want to talk about it?”
Alex knew he was going to regret saying this last part. After all, listening to a woman’s bullshit was something he had a hard time tolerating. But in that regard, so did every other man on the planet. Still, since he had pulled the pin on the grenade, he now had to wait for the blast to occur.
But surprisingly, the Queen of Hearts just took a deep sigh and ignored it entirely.
“It is whatever…. Besides, I’m not allowed to speak of the details, and I know you are just going to sit there, nod your pretty little head, and pretend like you give a shit, so what would be the point?”
Alex had to admit, the Queen of Hearts knew him almost as well as he knew himself. That is precisely what he planned to do. Not that a man could do much else when listening to the drivel that came out of a woman’s mouth when she needed to vent.
Still, the man found it entertaining and broke out into a laugh, as he gave the busty sanguine haired beauty a kiss on the lips, while shamelessly groping her massive tits.
“I’m glad to see you’re doing alright, Queenie!”
The Queen of Hearts could only blush as she let Alex have his way with her. Although she possessed the power to stop his attempts to get friendly with her body, she honestly did not want to. She did not know it yet, but she was starting to develop genuine feelings for the man. Which, if revealed to those mysterious beings behind the scenes, would be a major problem for her and Alex.
Eventually, however, when Alex began to kiss her neck, the tattooed beauty got upset and bit his ear, causing the man to back off, all the while she screamed at him.
“Will you knock it off!?! We have serious business to attend to here! Honestly, how can you be so horny every morning?”
Alex sighed in defeat as he sat back down on his bed and made a comment before encouraging the Queen of Hearts to do her normal routine.
“I mean, I am a man… But whatever is fine… So, are we going to get this show on the road?”
There was a complicated mixture of emotions on the Queen of Hearts’ flawless face. Something which a man who had the emotional capacity of a potato like Alex could not even remotely understand.
With an adorable harrumph, the Queen of Hearts snapped her finger. In a flash, her outfit had changed into an elegant red and gold gown that looked like something befitting of a true queen. While a matching scepter appeared in her hands which had the Queen of Hearts logo sculpted into the top of it.
Alex could only gaze at the Queen of Hearts and her beauty as she lightly tipped the Prize Wheel with her scepter, and in doing so, spinning it exactly one place to a prize that Alex was anticipating.
The prize wheel immediately and forcefully stopped on a prize that lit up in Alex’s vision with a message from the system.
[Congratulations you have been awarded a new ability: Pheromones – Tier II]
There was a smug smirk on the Queen of Hearts’ face as she pretended this was a completely and totally natural result of the prize wheel and was in no way manipulated by her as a way to give the middle finger to her superiors.
“Oh my! Your luck never ceases to amaze me Alex! Congratulations, you now have reached the second tier of all three skills that the system can provide a user which will enhance his abilities to arouse and please the opposite sex! Who ever could have predicted this?”
Alex looked at the woman as if her “act” was the most obvious thing on the planet. But he honestly had no complaints. Instead, the woman walked over and gave him a surprise by sitting in his lap and kissing him, where she whispered in his ear in a voice so low that despite the lack of distance between them, he almost didn’t hear her words.
“I know you have been relying on your charisma and physical abilities to woo these women, but might I suggest using an old skill you have clearly forgotten about on La Madre? Give her some nightmares about you leaving her forever and see how quickly she falls for you. Let’s finish this arc with a bang, alright?”
After saying this, the Queen of Hearts disappeared into thin air while sitting on Alex’s lap. Leaving the man to think that he might genuinely be suffering from hallucinations. Nevertheless, he was in a good mood.
With the Queen of Hearts being back to her normal self, and Nina conquered. Alex had just one more heroine to make his own before he could end this dreadful Mexican arc. Though… the aftermath of everything he had done thus far would still need to be dealt with if he ever wanted to return home and create a safe environment for his wives and children…
