Next morning,
Noah and Leah were waiting for their carriage to arrive. Bryan was rubbing his forehead as he saw his sister sticking to Noah like a koala. Her legs were wrapped around his waist and her arms around his neck, as she nuzzled onto his shoulders.
The two biggest news that was prevalent right now in the Empire were...
Firstly, Prince Noah and Princess Leah's return and
Secondly, King David's health suddenly turned worse. He was bedridden!
Everyone pointed fingers at the poor Emperor as the preparations for toppling down the Empire were in full throttle.
The poor Emperor had no tears to shed anymore. Even though he has not done anything yet people are bullshitting his name as the cruelest Emperor of the Delos Empire. WHY? None of these events are related to me?
The public knew about the unnatural phenomenon that occurred in the Yutao City of Racada Kingdom. It was as clear as water that David had nothing to do with Luke's death but even then Emperor didn't listen to his pleas and tried to assassinate him! The rumors were quite strong as if a mysterious force was adding fuel to fire.
The shadows were quite fast and proficient!
Ryan Irwin was also under pressure, he had to find the true perpetrators for his son's death...but there was nothing except that unnatural phenomenon, and reports also mentioned that this incident must be one of the main causes for his death.
But-
His wife, the Empress was shedding tears like a broken dam. She wanted all the traitors to die or get Noah on her side to push her agenda forward, that is, replace Noah with Luke's role of being the hero who somehow negotiated with the traitors and got the throne after Ryan dies.
Bryan's eyebrows twitched a lot when he saw his sister, the men-defiler, being obedient to Noah. He didn't know how his father suddenly turned sick but he was sure Leah must have done something as David was mumbling Leah's name in his sleep.
Noah contacted Gina as well, but she had business deals to take care of in other kingdoms as well, so she couldn't go back to Delta city for now. But she promised Noah that she would be there to celebrate his birthday which was coming soon. (A/N: Revisit Chapter-4, last 4 to 5 paras, I guess, I mentioned Noah's age and birth if you have forgotten)
Soon a carriage came surrounded by many guards.
Noah and Leah got in as the cat hidden in Noah's shadow followed along.
..........
A week passed by in a flash as a carriage which was filled with the smell of sex approached Delta city.
Naomi was lying in a dark corner peering into space with lifeless eyes. She only had one thought flashing through her mind- 'Is that rod really that great?'
Although her pride kept telling her that whatever she was thinking was wrong according to her personality, yet she couldn't help but think about that divine rod more and more as the moans of Leah filled the carriage for an entire week.
They entered the Imperial Palace, undisturbed and 3 people were there to welcome them.
Valentina, Ares, and Seraphina.
Now that Luke was dead, Seraphina's engagement with Luke also ended. She had nowhere else to go as her home, Gabon city of the Lipon Kingdom was destroyed along with her parents dying in a tragic accident. Hence both Adah and Valentina decided to invite Seraphina to live with them inside the Imperial Palace because Seraphina was Noah's childhood friend and had always interacted with both of them. Now that she had nowhere to go, as the mother and stepmother of Noah, Valentina and Adah felt pity for her and took her in.
The carriage stopped and Noah got out of the carriage with Leah, who was holding his arm with affection, and a bright sunny smile formed on her beautiful face.
"Whore!"
Ares shrieked in a high-pitched voice.
Seraphina had a mischievous smile.
Her noble demeanor was only in front of others to show. Her real personality was completely something else. She tried to hide her real personality but Noah used his well-timed manipulations to make her leave her noble facade behind, at least in front of him.
"Huh...?" Leah didn't understand what caused this reaction but she didn't mind as she retorted with a naughty smile:
"I will be the bitch, whore, slut, harlot, tart, wanton hooker...but..."
"Only for my Daddy!" Leah gave a peck on Noah's lips as she ended her monologue that was filled with pride!
Ares formed neon-pink-colored double [Energy] swords in her hands and rushed towards Leah as she yelled:
"BITCH!!"
But-
who was Leah?
Her eyes glowed goldenly as she saw the future and immediately, formed a golden-colored staff out of thin air to block Ares's attacks perfectly.
Valentina was looking at Noah with pure hatred! She couldn't believe what was happening...?
But-
When she noticed the presence of that cat hidden in Noah's shadow, her mood turned worse,
She turned around and was about to leave when she heard Noah's voice in her mind...
{Did you forget what I said?}
{Follow your heart huh?} Valentina asked but her voice was monotone.
{Yes} Noah nodded mentally.
{And how do you follow your heart?} Valentina asked with gritted teeth. She didn't want to accept anything that would be immoral...but she knew Noah was not normal and he wouldn't judge people on ethics and morals as he has the memories of many worlds that are different from Earth.
{My heart says to create chaos...and that's what I have been doing for the past few weeks}
{I am sure you have heard about all the recent events...}
{Who do you think was the main culprit?}
{...}
{You?} Valentina asked confusedly. She tilted her head and looked towards Noah with a baffled expression.
She neither felt his eerie, strange [Killing Intent] nor saw the 'purple mist'. And the events that happened in Yutao city, was also something very strange.
{Guess?} Noah asked with a smirk... as he looked around and saw Leah and Ares fight. He didn't bother to stop them as he walked forward and hugged Valentina.
Valentina's body trembled a little...but when she saw Seraphina who tried to avoid her gaze from the 'normal hug' between Valentina and Noah, she remembered that there is always a place and time for everything...Her face turned a bright shade of red as she pushed Noah away while coughing slightly, to remind Ares to stop fighting.
"Mom...this bitch..." Ares pointed towards Leah, who was rushing towards her 'daddy'.
Valentina had a frown on her beautiful face. She looked between Noah, Ares, and Leah who just jumped onto Noah's back, as she hugged him from behind while wrapping her legs around Noah's waist and kissing his neck without any shame.
*cough* *cough*
"I remember her...she is Princess Leah of Racada Kingdom" Seraphina tried to break the stalemate. Noah looked towards her and gave a mental thumbs-up to Seraphina.
Seraphina blushed slightly but she knew there was no need for a mask in front of Noah, so she continued...
"Having Princess Leah on our side is a good thing...after all, nobody knows what will happen tomorrow"
"As one of the rebel's daughters...we could use her well." Seraphina started reasoning with whatever came to her mind, earning a nod from Valentina.
"They are both in cahoots mom! Both of them are sluts!!" Ares's 'womanly instincts' started spinning at full throttle. She wouldn't accept any woman besides her brother except Valentina.
"This..." Seraphina's noble mask threatened to break as several veins popped up on her forehead.
But-
She quickly regained her 'noble smile' as she asked Ares...
"Ares, I have been your friend for so long...how could you put dirt on my morals like this?" Small tears threatened to leak out from the corner of her eyes as she wiped those tears with her delicate fingers.
'Amazing actress!' Noah nodded several times in approval of finding a gem like Seraphina who was willing to go this far for her lover. Noah knew Gina also loved him...but she wouldn't help him with another woman. Ares also loved him, but her possessiveness was at an all-time high. He already expected Seraphina's hidden mischievous nature to shine...and now was the time.
"sniff...sniff.." Seraphina 'cried' a little as if she was hurt by Ares's cruel words.
Valentina also heard this and thought that Seraphina was right...After all, she was only giving a small suggestion. It was not like she was an outsider. She has played with Ares and Noah many times in the past and interacted with Valentina as well.
"Ares...stop...I know about...umm...you can't force Noah to do everything that you want..." Valentina spoke in a motherly tone as she approached Ares and hugged her.
"Mn," Ares slightly nodded as her fury slowly vanished...
She trusted and respected Valentina very much. Valentina has always showered her with all the love in the world. For some reason, she couldn't refuse Valentina's words...
{Don't tell me this woman is also enchanted by your rod?} Naomi asked in a wobbly tone as she pointed towards Seraphina from Noah's shadow.
"Heh~ Am I getting that predictable?" Noah scratched the back of his head in embarrassment!
{SHAMELESS!} Naomi screamed in Noah's mind!
