Chapter 89 - More Confused About Aura
"WOOHOOO! We did it!"
I yelled happily when the experiment was a success. Although we don't know yet if both babies will be delivered safely, at least with this, Marie will have a chance to deliver both babies safely.
"Why are you the one so surprised? Isn't this your plan?" asked Albert with a huge smile on his face.
"You two are the one who's being too excited! It was us girls who worked hard, you know?" said Shirley.
"Now that you have experienced it, I want you two to do it more until the due date. Hopefully both babies will be fine. Now, do you have anyone you can trust with delivering both babies?" I asked Albert.
"Hmm… you're right. Everyone already knows that Marie is pregnant with just a child. If she suddenly gave birth to two babies, it will give everyone a shock. Even more if they know that someone is actually use Marie as an experiment."
"You gave me the permission to do it, so you're an accomplish."
I replied to Albert's remark.
"How about you do it?"
"Me?! I'm busy and I need to return to where I came from. Maybe if Marie hasn't gave birth in a month, I can return. But I make no promises."
"That's fine. Then please come in a month whether she has given birth to the babies or not."
I nodded to Albert's request to help delivering the babies next month.
"Then, I'll take my leave."
"How? Your scream should have alerted the guards. Some of them should be here anytime soon." said Albert.
"That's okay. As long as we're indoor, I can defeat most of the guards."
"You're trying to kill my guards? Just jump out of the window or something!"
"Well, I will only kill those with explosives inside their mouth. You don't mind, right?"
I asked permission from Albert to kill. But seems like he won't give it.
"…don't kill anyone. At least not yet. Let them live. I'll take care of everything. Isn't that what you want? As for Tim, I'll just tell everyone that you trespass the king's chamber to kill him because of personal vendetta. You will be labeled as criminal. But it should be fine since you're in disguise, right?"
"If that's what you want. Then, I'll take my leave. See you next month. And don't forget to cultivate."
After reminding Marie and Shirley to cultivate, I left the chamber via the window.
I left the capital quickly as I saw the guards entered the king's chamber with my Divine Vision.
I entered the forest where I camped. Then Victoria leave my body and transformed into her human form.
"That was surprising! To hear that the queen's baby has that kind of condition. Even more, most of the thing you practiced since yesterday were all useless! Why did you have to practice if you ended up adlibbing?"
"More importantly, what do you think about the king's lie detector skill? Is he an aura user?"
How could anyone has a special ability like aura user without awakening their aura?
"I don't know much, but…"
"I don't know much, you don't know much, Sonia doesn't know much. Actually, how much was known about aura in the first place?"
"…who knows? I don't."
"I know you don't, but you can continue."
"You don't have to stop me in the first place if you just want to complain…"
Victoria then tells me about a rumor she doesn't know much about in the past.
Back when she was still alive, she heard a rumor about continuing special abilities after the owner's death. It was so that the future generation of the aura user can have multiple special abilities.
Victoria thought that Albert should be a descendant of an aura user.
"I might be wrong, but who knows if someone actually succeeded in doing it?"
"Yeah, who knows? I bet you don't. Do you think that Albert can be an aura user as well?"
"…who knows? I don't."
"Yeah, right…"
What the hell? I thought having an aura and that's that. Then I learned that I can have a special ability. Then I learned that special ability can develop. Then again, there's a possibilities of special abilities being inherited by future generation.
And I still can't see the full potential of aura!
Who should I ask? Most aura user are all dead. There's one who died and became a monster, and another one who died and become a ghost.
Cana I met another aura user or former aura user again in the future?
I hope whoever or whatever they are, they will know more about aura usage.
First I have to ask Sonia about it first, shouldn't I? Maybe she knows more than Victoria. And since she also has many lovers, she should be able to get more information from her lovers than Victoria who stayed single.
"I'll go sleep now. We'll be returning to Cassau tomorrow morning. Transform into a bed."
"You know what? I think I'm the one who slept with you the most without ever having sex. Although you never had sex with anyone yet."
"You want me to have sex with you? Here? In the wild?"
"…no thanks. The atmosphere also need to be right. And we're not a lover yet so not now. But I want to ask you something. Why you have never lay a hand on your lovers? Even though Sophie would always sleep with you?" Victoria asked.
"Well, although I'm in my fifteen years old self, my mentality is that of an adult. That's why I can endure it. But in my past life… I'm a regular customer at a cheap brothel. I haven't had sex with either with Kayla and Sophie yet because I know that their feeling is less of a love and more of a dependence. They are confused one with the other."
That's right. Kayla depend on me because I saved her on our first encounter. And when she confessed to me, it was so casual. I felt her sincere feeling, but it was not totally the feeling of love of a woman toward a man. More like she feels like she can rely on me. That's why I know she's not ready yet for a physical relationship.
As for Sophie, she also rely on me. Although I can feel more love from her than from Kayla. But I feel like if I end up having sex with her, she will start to think of me similar to her clients. Men who only wants her for her body. That's why I haven't lay my hand on her yet. Both of them need some time.
"Then why did you accepted their confession? You can just reject them you know?" asked Victoria.
"…when I heard from Kayla that I can freely build a harem for myself, I just have to accept her."
"Why?"
"It's most men's dream to have a harem! That's why! Then what about your confession?"
"Me? You're just my type. That's all."
"See? I have two girlfriends and one on the way. But their feeling of love aren't the kind of love between man and woman. Does that mean I have to be in physical relationship with them even though they still don't understand their own affection toward me is that of a reliance?"
"I think sex should only happen when two parties have mutual agreement. Whether it's love or prostitution, both parties need to be consent. Now that you mentioned it, I think you're right that you haven't lay a hand on the girls yet."
"Yeah. The most we have done as a lover is just kissing. And sleeping together."
Victoria seems to be pondering about something.
"Then why would they hurriedly confessed to you when they haven't figure out their own feeling?"
"Who knows? I don't. Aren't you supposed to know since you're also a girl?"
"Don't forget that I'm an over a thousand years old granny as well. I don't know what's in the mind of kids their age."
"But you have a fellow disciple who's getting lovers… or more like collecting lovers."
"…she's a rare case. I could never tell what's on her mind."
"Do you think that now she's dead, she's changed?"
"I don't think she will seduce people anymore since she's afraid of you killing her because she values her life… her ghost life… her existence? Well, unless she found an extremely good looking ghost I hope."
Then we continued chatting pointless topic until I fell asleep.
"Huhuhu… looking at your cute sleeping face is why you're my type."
I couldn't hear what Victoria said as my consciousness disappear and I entered a dream realm.
I woke up the next morning and prepared to return to Cassau after breakfast.
No. I need to call it home soon. After I return to Melk, I will get Daniel and the others to move to our new house. Daniel would be happy.
"Alright, Victoria… I mean Blobby. Let's go home."
I hope the king and the queen are doing fine. He has a lot of things that he needed to take care and I just added more works for him. It's better than having the kingdom betrayed by its own people.
