Lackey's Seducing Survival Odyssey

Chapter 78: Returned to the Starting Point

ʼTuck, Tuck, Tuckʼ

Echoed the rhythmic cadence of the carriage wheels as they traversed the bustling street, blending with the symphony of urban sounds.

Inside the carriage, an uneasy silence settled among the passengers, punctuated only by the occasional creaking of the carriageʼs wooden frame.

Delphine, her gaze fixed on the passing scenery outside, feigned interest in the bustling cityscape to avoid meeting the piercing gaze of her niece, the tension between them palpable in the confined space.

Kai and Timmy, seated nearby, exchanged frowned glances, their furrowed brows betraying their unease with the stifling atmosphere within the carriage.

Amidst the uncomfortable silence, all eyes turned to the figure with a flushed face....the unmistakable sign of embarrassment. It was none other than Aether, attempting to mask his discomfiture behind a facade of indifference as they made their way back to the Mansion.

ʼDid I really just call her... a fat ass?ʼ Aether winced inwardly, his mind replaying the unfortunate exchange with vivid clarity. He couldnʼt shake the memory of her weight pressed against him, those plump things landed on his waist, almost giving him a heavenly sensation had it not been for his broken bone.

Even more vivid was the memory of her crushing his body, her moans near his ears.... stirring something within him.

ʼArrrh.... itʼs all because of this teenage bodyʼ Aether cursed inwardly and shooed away his thoughts, refocusing his thoughts on the significant change in his log.

[Seduction:1/10 ]

Seeing that, Aether couldnʼt help but sigh inwardly, ”So... I need to seduce 9 more women...?” he wondered.

Though it felt great and all... Aether wasnʼt very good at seducing. Even his former lover had taken the initiative, proposing to him rather than the other way around.

Turning his thoughts to Stella, a perplexed expression crossed his features. ʼWell, she must have mistaken my life-saving CPR for a romantic gesture, igniting feelings within her...ʼ His mind buzzed with uncertainty, unsure of how to navigate the delicate situation.

Let it be clear, Aether held a firm conviction in his determination to survive at any cost. However, deep down, he couldnʼt shake off the discomfort of the idea of seducing someone so young.

Itʼs just he felt... little wrong to seduce a child(For him)!!!

His gaze wandered unconsciously to Delphine, lingering on her for a moment. ”I mean, Come on, Log,” he muttered under his breath, a note of exasperation in his voice, ʼCanʼt you just select women who are in their thirties? Itʼs not like I am after MIL-- ahem, I mean Mature women... arrhhh.ʼ Frustration etched lines on his face as he grappled with the complexities of his situation.

Whenever Aetherʼs thoughts turned to Stella, he couldnʼt help but see her as a younger sister, a feeling that brought both comfort and frustration.

ʼSigh... I can see where this is going, but still... Canʼt you do something about it, Log?ʼ Aether asked aloud, clinging to a hope of some fortunate turn of events.

Yet, it seemed Log remained indifferent to his pleas, unmoved by his desperate Bullshit!!

Sensing a dangerous tension building, Aether slowly averted his gaze from Delphineʼs piercing glare, shifting his focus to the passing scenery outside the carriage, ʼSeduction... ahʼ he murmured to himself, the word carrying weight and uncertainty.

As Aether delved deeper into contemplation about his mission and the trajectory of his new life, he felt the weight of uncertainty pressing upon him. He needed to be sure before taking any further steps, lest he find himself engulfed in regret.

Lost in his thoughts, Aether was jolted back to the present as the carriage arrived at the Frostblade mansion.

”Father!” Kaiʼs joyful shout filled the air as he leapt out of the carriage.

”Hahaha...” Velcʼs laughter echoed as he caught his playful child, spinning him around in a display of paternal affection and planting a kiss on his cheek.

”F-Father!” Kaiʼs cheeks flushed crimson at the unexpected display of affection.

”Hahaha...” Velcʼs laughter continued unabated as he affectionately interacted with his children, each receiving a similar treatment of joyful embraces and playful banter.

”Father! Itʼs good to see you again,” Selene spoke respectfully, bowing with grace as she greeted her father.

”Hahaha... Yes, my dear,” Velc responded with warmth, returning her greeting with a kiss on the cheek before setting her down.

”Hahaha... Yes, my dear” Velc laughed as he also swirled around and kissed her cheeks before putting her down.

”Father!” Timmyʼs reaction mirrored that of the siblings, but his happiness was met with a stern chop to the head from Alfred, ”Be mindful in front of the Masters”

”... Okay, Father,” Timmy responded, rubbing his head ruefully as they made their way into the mansion, engaging in familial chatter and catching up along the way.

As Aether observed this heartwarming scene, a soft smile graced his lips. Despite his complicated feelings toward them, he couldnʼt help but marvel at the strong bond shared by the Frostblade family.

”Do you miss your family?” Delphine asked, leaning against the carriage with a curious expression.

”Hmm... No, I-I just want to be a good Dad,” Aether muttered with a sad smile tinged with.... longing?

Delphineʼs face contorted in confusion. ʼFather? Him? What the hell is he talking about?ʼ She grabbed his shoulder, her tone turning stern. ”Brat, youʼre not even grown down there. What the hell are you thinking about?”

Veins bulged on Aetherʼs face, irritation was evident. He had been enjoying a fleeting moment of vulnerability before the harsh realities of his fucked up life, and he couldnʼt understand why she couldnʼt let him have that.

”How do you know Iʼm not grown down there?” Aether retorted with annoyance. Despite his desire to deny it, the truth remained: there wasnʼt a single pubic hair on his private parts.

Delphine was taken aback. How did she know? Well, she had mentioned catching him naked in the forest, so maybe... maybe her eyes had unconsciously fallen on the elephant trunk!

Perhaps that explained why she had been acting strangely around him.

As she felt her cheeks flush red with embarrassment, Aether couldnʼt help but realize, ʼThis woman is a fucking PERVERT!!!ʼ he screamed inwardly, his irritation escalating.

Something inside him tingled at the sight of her shame and discomfort, and a thought crossed his mind, ʼCome on, Log, give me a mission about this woman!ʼ He couldnʼt deny the strange attraction to the chaos she seemed to bring into his life.

He truly wished!!

Yet, the Log, as before, decided to stay silent, as if disinterested in his MIL--ahem, mature woman kinks.

Observing Aetherʼs disgusted expression, Delphineʼs face turned bright red as she stammered, ”L-Let me tell you--” But before she could continue, Aether interrupted, gently taking her hands in his.

”Do you want to be the mother of my child?” Aether asked, his tone tinged with curiosity and a hint of mischief.

Just as he expected,

[+10 Affection]

!~Ding~!

[Survival rate: 2.9%|]

Delphineʼs face turned even redder upon hearing his unexpected confession.

ʼJust as I thought, she is really related to me, my survi--ʼ Aetherʼs thoughts were abruptly cut short by a sudden punch to his gut.

”W-What the hell are you saying to an adult, Brat?!” Delphineʼs face flushed with embarrassment and anger.

Fortunately, luck was on their side; no one was around to witness... or care about their presence.
