Chapter 177: Dinner (2)

"Wanna go to the Loken continent with me? I know you really haven't been there before, and you guys don't have a lot of spies or informants there, so it could be a new experience for both of us. Maybe you can learn something and report them back here"

"I'll think about it, that's for sure" she replied "I remember you saying about going there to find Damon's parents"

"Yup, that's what I plan to do, then I'll go look for Diana's parents or whatever remain of them"

"Well apart from me, who else are you inviting?" she asked

"I did plan to ask professor Emma since she kinda made me promise to bring her to the dragon settlement. If it makes you uncomfortable, it can just be us and my bonds."

"What worries me is that, she's supposed to be your enemy" Cordelia gripped my hand "What if she tries to kill you, you can't just use charm all the time"

"Don't worry, she won't, even if she was given an order to do so, she's the caring type, she's more of a teacher than a fighter. Killing her student would be against her own virtue, and she would rather go against the order and become a criminal instead"

"Well that's fine since I still call her from time to time, she is just like you said" she responded "Just a bit worried, that's all...why did you join the seekers? At least tell me a little bit."

I then looked around and used sound magic to make sure my conversation can only be heard between the 2 of us, and with illusion magic, people won't even be able to read our mouth.

"This magic combo spell, I call it 'hush' "

"That's a bit simple, but I don't mind" Cordelia replied

"One of their goals...it's the multiverse, I'll be able to go back to my previous world"

"WHAT?!"

"I know, shocking, but no, I don't plan on going back and live there"

"Then why do you want to go back?" she asked

"Revenge, I need to avenge my siblings, I can't live knowing that I rejected the opportunity when it's given to me. I'll return back afterwards"

"You had me worried there for a second" she breathe a sigh of relief as I turned off my magic

"I like it here, despite there are many food I miss"

"Right, like what?"

"Tacos, fried spring rolls, pizza, samosa and a lot more"

"Is pizza the delicious circular disk of food you made the other day?" she asked

"Yep, Not just food either, I miss the internet"

"What's the internet?" she asked curiously

"It's really hard to explain unless you experience it for yourself"

| Google says that it's a global computer network providing a variety of information and communication facilities blah blah blah |

"Maybe when the opportunity arises, I can go with you, I'm curious about your world"

"It's not pretty, I tell you that, a quarter of it is destroyed already"

Our food then arrived.

"Is there anything else you 2 need?" Jolyn asked

"Um no we're fine, thank you"

"Just call me if you need anything" she said before she left

"A quarter? What happened?" she asked as she cut into her food

"Seriously, long story. But I'll ask Zach to see if you're allowed to follow me when the opportunity arises"

"Let's forget all that then. We'll just have a regular date like a regular couple despite the fact that we're probably the world's weirdest couple" she suggested

"You're realizing that now?"

"Yep" she nodded

"Well your fault for confessing to me"

"I expect a great gift for our first year anniversary" She responded

"I gave you a high quality necklace already, I might as well give you a betrothal gift next"

"I don't mind that actually" she then cut off a piece of her dinner and tried to feed me "We're a couple, right? This is normal"

I just ate it from her fork and did the same for her.

"Just know that once I set my mind on you, you will be my husband in the future, and I will not take no for an answer" she warned and I just laughed

"I look forward to it, hahaha"

"Why? Was it funny?" she asked as she scrunched her eyebrows

"No, it's great, but I won't let you go either, I'll regret it if I let go the only woman who accepts me for who I really am"

"Good, that's how I like it, I'll make it impossible for you to even think of letting me go" She nodded in satisfaction

3rd person view

Jolyn and 1 of her colleagues was watching the 2 lovers enjoying their date.

"The more I look at him, the more I think that he wasn't the guy who saved us from the leviathan, he looks surprisingly normal" Jolyn commented

"Yeah, but apparently he's a prince now" her friend waiter said "Lucky he got your table, otherwise, I don't even think I can get close to him, the pressure would be too much for me, if I mess up a bit, I would just poof!"

"Well I'm human, so I can't sense what you vampires sense" Jolyn bumped him in the shoulder "But princess Cordelia is still our princess, so I'm also very nervous of messing up"

"But he's really young, isn't he?" the waiter observed "I heard that he's 16, but he's as strong as one whole kingdom, and with his bonds, some even give him the title as Neelofar's new guardian"

"It's really cute watching them laugh and hold hands, maybe I'll find someone who makes me feel like that someday" she sighs

"I hope you will, hehehe..." her friend laughed nervously while looking away with his face red

1st person view

"You stole the idea of ice cream and took credit for it, didn't you?" Cordelia asked

We bought ice cream from one of my franchises on my way back of walking Cordelia back to the palace.

"It should be obvious, here try mine, it's chocolate hazelnut flavor, it's one of the first flavors that I implemented into our family business since it's my favorite"

"Yum" she said as she taste it "I remember you said that it was your favorite flavor"

"In my old world, there are several researches that prove chocolates are effective aphrodisiacs"

"And here you are feeding it to me, looks like it works, because I love you more already" she laughed as we walked to the palace.

I tried to drop her off at the palace's gates, but she insisted for me to stay the night, I resisted but in the end, she was very stubborn.

"Just sleep in my room, you'll be fine" she said as she opened her rooms door

"You're lying"

"Girls lie all the time, think of it as a white lie" she waved me off

When I got into her room, she locked her doors and then loosened her hair and unbuttoned a few buttons of her blouse while giving me a seductive look and cornering me onto her bed. She was leaning very close against me.

"I think I know where this is heading"

| Yeah and I don't like it |

"Feeding me chocolate while saying that it's effective as an aphrodisiac, do you really think that I would let you get away with a line like that?" she said as she wrapped her arms around my neck and pushed me down onto her bed

"I haven't told my family that I'll be staying over tonight, you know"

She just laughed before she gave me a deep passionate kiss as I held her close, it took a while before she pulled away while breathing heavily. I started to feel my body tremble a bit after the kiss.

"I can hear your heartbeat...you're just as nervous about this as I am"

"I think I've waited long enough for this night to happen" she said "It's very cold tonight...so why don't you share with me some of your warmth?"

"Yeah, I'm not letting you get away with a romantic line like that tonight"
