Somewhere in the Delos Empire, in an underground secret room, a circular table was placed.
Many people wearing black robes and black masks were sitting across the table. All of them had a dejected and demoralized expression.
A woman sitting at the main chair had the most ugliest and gloomy expression...
A man suddenly said in a sad voice with a heavy sigh:
"Sigh~ All our investments of years...wasted just like that...."
Another man added:
"We made sure that the Empire thinks Lipon kingdom is about to rebel, then come to an agreement with Princess Seraphina's marriage so that the Emperor thinks that Lipon kingdom will be loyal because of marriage ties but then this.....Sigh~"
"That idiot Adam failed as well! aarggghhh!" one woman added in an annoyed tone.
The woman at the main seat was rubbing her forehead while leaning on the table.
She could not believe the reports...
Everyone in Gabon city, the Capital of Lipon Kingdom is dead.
Not a single thing was stolen, so they thought, 'at least a small amount of those heavy investments could be recovered' but before that the Empire rushed in directly overruling the Lipon Kingdom while sweeping in the Gabon city simultaneously.
The Emperor was shrewd, he already knew that the political situation is going to be messed up due to these events so he mobilized all his forces to recover as much wealth as possible.
Although he will be on the losing end, it would not be like he didn't gain anything from it.
*BAM!*
'Bastard! That damn emperor!!' cursed the woman sitting at the main chair in her heart while thinking deeply about the losses and her next steps.
...
It was already evening, many experts with healing abilities were rushing to the Imperial Palace of the Delos Empire situated in Delta city.
Sometime later, Noah was walking through the corridors of the Palace.
The palace was a little somber and tenebrous. The palace gave an air of uncertainty and fear.
It felt like dark clouds were hovering over the entire Delos Empire.
Slowly being enveloped in that blanket of darkness was the Imperial Palace.
He heard many maids and servants talking among themselves about the 'assassination attempt' of the Empress!
Within a few hours, the world around the Delos Empire turned upside down!
Noah smirked and recalled an old saying ' Heh~, What goes around comes around!'
Apparently, the backlash of three powerful 'slave items' forcefully being disconnected is terrifying.
'But unfortunately, it's not that powerful to kill a strong cultivator like Mary who is at SS rank' thought Noah while thinking deeply about this matter, 'but it is enough to put her into a vegetative state for a week and even her cultivation will be reduced to S rank!'
'Anyways who cares about an annoying bug, haha'
Noah was leaving the palace and moving towards a particular guest mansion...
...
Somewhere in the Delos Empire, in the same underground secret room where a meeting was taking place among black-robed individuals...
A messenger rushed into the room with a terrified expression, he had beads of sweat rolling down his forehead and he was terrified thinking about what will happen to him after bringing another bad news.
He gathered his courage because it was his duty to do so but his back was drenched in cold sweat!
He entered the room abruptly and went directly near the woman sitting at the main chair.
Other people were confused and started thinking why did he come back after just giving them the news about firstly, the destruction of Gabon city, then secondly, the daylight robbery of the Emperor.
He whispered something in the ears of the woman sitting at the main chair, then...
*BAM*
*Crack!*
The skull of the messenger was crushed immediately by the woman...
"woooo" all the other black-robed individuals sucked in a cold breath.
Their senses were telling them 'someone is royally pissed! and it is better to not ask anything or even utter a single word!!'
A few moments later when the woman calmed down, after wiping the brain juices from her hand she sat back at her seat.
2 minutes passed by in silence when she muttered something in a low voice with an ugly expression on her face:
"The Empress faced an assassination attempt and is currently heavily injured"
.....
Currently, Noah was standing in front of a guest mansion.
There were no guards related to Luke, he was busy attending to his mother who just faced an 'assassination attempt', thinking about this Noah smirked.
All the guards were on full alert after the recent events and Luke decided to put all of his personal guards to work and protect him rather than slacking in front of his fiancé's mansion!
'Dearest brother, It is the time when what is yours becomes mine! hehe~' thought Noah while laughing coldly in his heart.
He entered the mansion, but the guards didn't stop him since Noah already had permission, furthermore, the air in the entire Delos city was dingy and a sense of lingering danger assaulted everyone's mind, thus they were in no condition to question Noah's timing of entering Seraphina's mansion in the evening.
Noah sensed Seraphina's presence in her bedroom and walked forward.
Step~
Step~
Seraphina heard someone's footsteps but didn't bother much, she was not in a mood to do so.
*knock!*
*knock!*
No response came for a few seconds.
*Screak!*
Noah opened the door and entered inside and simultaneously closed the door behind him.
He glanced inside the room and saw Seraphina laying on her bed gracefully with her arms crossed over her face.
She removed her arms from her beautiful face and looked across the bedroom to see the only person remaining in her life who holds a significant place in her heart.
She showed a bittersweet smile to Noah, in return he only showed a small smile.
Noah stepped across the bedroom and sat beside her.
He could sense the distress in her heart and all her turbulent emotions.
Seraphina grabbed onto Noah's shirt and put her head on his shoulder then cried...cried...and cried.
Noah just hugged her gently and stroked her silky, lustrous auburn hair.
Half an hour passed by and both of them hugged each other in silence.
Although she didn't care much about her brother who always had lustful eyes for her even though she was his half-sister and her father who never cared about her and only thought of her as a political tool...
But-
She cared about her mother and her loss was a heavy blow to her heart.
She felt like a hole was made in her heart when she heard the news about the massacre in Gabon city in which her mother was also included.
She closed herself in her room and laid on her bed lifeless after hearing all the news from a maid.
Noah had no intentions of spouting bullshit and consoling her.
With his experience, he knows that such childish tricks never work and whoever hears them will only feel they are talking with a superficial person.
So he only showed a 'bittersweet smile' to Seraphina and then he put one of the most 'honest expressions' from his 'book of expressions' and said,
"I am there for you now, I have been there for you in the past, and I will be there for you in the future!"
This was more than enough for Seraphina..
She wiped her face clean, with the tissues that Noah gave her while she was crying,
Her golden eyes sparkled with blazing passion, she leaned forward and pressed her lips against Noah's.
Noah welcomed her kiss and opened his mouth, Seraphina caught this opportunity to push her tongue in his mouth and Noah also rolled his tongue around hers.
Soon their tongues were interwind with each other in a battle to subdue each other and loud slurping sounds filled the room while Seraphina pushed her body on Noah and sat on his lap coiling her legs around his waist.
Although her movements were inexperienced, Noah didn't mind and enjoyed the wet kiss and the softness of Seraphina's body thoroughly.
Seraphina only wanted to drown herself in the sea of pleasure as soon as she heard Noah's footsteps.
She knew the only person who would give her a trustworthy shoulder to cry would be Noah.
Noah was not a saint, although he purposefully didn't create this opportunity he had no qualms in using this opportunity to his advantage and conquering the heart of a woman who has lost someone close to her recently.
He knew just by being there, giving her a shoulder to cry coupled with his previous declaration, he would gain enough 'brownie point'.
Seraphina rubbed her butt across Noah's crotch lightly and her soft breasts on his chest.
She held Noah's neck with her arms tightly as if she was trying her best to melt into his muscular body and feel his warmth as much as possible.
Noah slid one of his hands inside her dress and held her breasts and kneaded them tenderly while his other hand moved towards her most sensitive part, in the middle of her legs.
Noah gently stroked the slit between her legs while sucking on Seraphina's tongue and delicately caressed her body with his other hand.
Soon, Noah's hand was drenched in shiny liquid while Seraphina's nipples hardened to the extreme!
When he felt she was reaching the peak, Noah suddenly stopped his caresses and broke the kiss.
A thin silvery line of saliva connected their mouths and Seraphina breathed heavily...
"Haah~... Haah~ W-what happened? i-is something w-wrong?" Seraphina asked shyly while her entire face flushed and her body turned red in embarrassment.
She could not believe she was asking Noah to continue and probably take it to the next step.
Noah smirked and brought his wet hand to his mouth and delightfully licked his fingers with an expression of bliss.
Seeing Noah tasting her love juices, Seraphina's excitement reached new heights, she wondered
'My juices taste that good!?'
"My juices taste that good!?" Noah said as if reading her thoughts.
Seraphina's body shuddered and her legs started twitching.
Her body went limp and her mind completely blank from the sudden excitement of her dirty thoughts being read by Noah perfectly.
Noah held Seraphina by her waist when he saw her 'lifeless' body falling on the bed.
For a moment she felt that she was acting like a bitch in heat completely contrasting to her usual noble demeanor and this thought made her orgasm instantly while large amounts of love juices gushed out of her sacred cave drenching Noah's crotch and the bed in shiny liquid!
