Chapter 454 - The Start Of A Marathon.
Hal furrowed his brow,
"I thought Danes hate Doxons" he said.
Isabella shrugged,
"Hate is a strong word but we do indeed dislike you all. The Doxon Duchy seems to be the very example of everything the Dane principles are against. That said, we now have a common interest. Or more accurately, there is the possibility that we have common interests."
"I don\'t think there is" Hal said and shook his head.
"You don\'t? Well, let me draw you a picture; If you do indeed marry Melinda and the Danes go to war with the Silvas which is just a pit-stop to our grand ambition, will you stand by and watch as Melinda fights for the sake of her family?" She said.
Hal frowned but said nothing.
.Isabella continued,
"And if you join in, will your family stand by and watch that happen without interfering?
Hal, I\'m not about to become buddy-buddy with the Doxons but I am very ready to use your relationship with my granddaughter as well as your ties with the Doxons to my family\'s advantage."
Hal sighed,
"One thing though, I am not on the best of terms with the Doxons and I don\'t see that changing anytime soon."
Isabella did not seem remotely bothered by what he said as she pointed to the poster which she had placed on her desk,
"Along with this poster came the news that several elders of the Doxon family have been going out of their way to proclaim you as the next Duke. News of your cultivational prowess and genius has been going around the Duchy.
Many of the Denizens have even begun to sing praises to your talent.
For the most part, it seems any resistance to the situation is from you and you alone."
The Dane Patroness let a few seconds of silence pass before she continued,
"We have been building our forces diligently but it is far from enough to contend with the Silvas who have a stronghold on the Duchy having ruled it under the Harons for hundreds of thousands of years.
I am not thrilled to potentially join forces with the Doxon but outside help, especially help from Duchy rulers could be just what we need.
As long as you insist on being with Melinda, this will happen whether you like it or not. So there is no point fighting it"
Hal froze as that sounded very similar to what a particular shameless old man told him two days ago and in anger, Hal let out the pressure of his cultivation.
He got carried away and was quick to retract it since there was no point flaunting a Phenomenon realm cultivation in front of a Cosmic saint.
Meanwhile, Isabella was surprised when she felt the pressure he had been giving off.
It showed Hal was now at the peak stage of the Cosmic phenomenon realm when she could have sworn he had been at the Early or mid stage the last time she saw him which was two and a half weeks ago.
And he was not yet twenty!
How was he advancing so fast?
Hal stood from his seat and turned his back on the patroness as he made his way towards the door of her study,
"Where do you think you\'re going?" Isabella asked.
Hal turned his head a fraction and smiled lightly,
"You\'ve discussed all you called me here for, haven\'t you?" he asked.
"Yes, I have but I did not say you could leave" the Patroness said.
Hal pulled open the door and rolled his eyes,
"Missing me already?" He asked with a chuckle but was out of the door and closing it before the Patroness could say another word.
He walked out of her residence and used a Teleportation circle to go to Melinda\'s.
The maids and guards he passed paid him no heed although, there was one female guard who stared at him until he was inside Melinda\'s room and out of her sight.
Inside the room, a hand gripped his and pulled him closer before his eyes could even adjust to the dim lighting but when Melinda\'s soft lips pressed against his, he no longer bothered to inspect the room.
Instead, he wound his arms around her waist that was covered in the flimsy material of her nightwear and pulled her closer so her ample breasts pressed against his muscular chest.
One of his hands went lower from her waist to her ass to grab one of her wonderful ass cheeks which he squeezed and caused her to moan into his mouth.
She also lowered one of her arms which had been around his neck to his half-erect cock and she rubbed it through his pants.
Eventually, their lips separated but Hal was still kneading her ass cheeks while she rubbed his cock as she asked,
"So how did your chat with my grandmother go?"
Hal answered with a raised brow while the only hand that had still been on her waist went to her long hair which he started to brush through.
Melinda rolled her eyes to him,
"I didn\'t know she would \'summon\' you. Irma told me the moment you entered the Territory and told me you were here after being summoned by my grandmother"
"Okay, couple of things, who is Irma and why is she telling you stuff?"
"Irma is the spy my grandmother set to watch my every move. Been working to get her on my side. *shrugs* I figured I couldn\'t get rid of her so I might as well make the best of the situation.
So now, she uses her contacts gained from working for my grandmother to fill me in on certain things. Your arrival just happens to be one of it." Melinda said as she nuzzled into the side of Hal\'s neck before she asked,
"So how was it? What did you talk about?"
Hal smiled,
"A lot was said but do you really want to spend time talking about that right now?" He asked.
Melinda grinned,
"You\'re right. It can wait" she said just before Hal connected their lips again for a passionate kiss.
She stretched her tongue out of her mouth into his to begin a battle for dominance. A battle she seemed destined to lose.
While their tongues battled for dominance, Hal began to undo the little sash that held her nightwear close, and once he did, he created space between them, without their lips disconnecting, to slide the nightwear off Melinda\'s smooth shoulders.
She wore nothing underneath and had her legs spread a little in anticipation for what she knew Hal would do. And he did it.
Moving one of his hands towards her delectable pussy lips that were already moistening due to arousal and he began rubbing it slowly.
The mere feel of his hand there already causing Melinda to moan even more than she already was.
Then Hal placed his other hand on one of her naked breasts which he began to knead while also pinching her aroused nipples.
"Hmm, I\'ve missed this so much" Melinda moaned as she separated their lips and worked to fish his cock out of his pants.
Hal chuckled,
"It\'s very clear that you have. Let\'s take this somewhere more comfortable." He said and opened a portal to the Harem space to admit them directly into his room in the space.
Then he brought out the piece of Primal fruit he had saved up and ate it after a brief explanation to Melinda as to what was and what its effects were.
Soon, he was naked just like her and she was kneeling in front of him to take his cock in her mouth while she stroked the part of it her mouth could not contain.
*Fap* *Fap* *Fap*
The sounds of her strokes announced the start of the sex marathon the two were about to engage in within this Time Warped mansion.
