The Conquerors Path

Chapter 801: Chapter 799-Ticking Bombs

Elda, in general, is sweet, kind, and extremely beautiful, as you can guess, but her personality takes a whole 180-degree turn when it comes to me, making it such that messing with her when it comes to the fight of my life isnʼt something good at all. In the eyes of Elda, Nathalia making a move on me will be the greatest betrayal to Elda.

And if I didnʼt keep my eyes open and my ears listening, I might one day find Nathalia in a ditch somewhere, or she might just disappear from this place, never to return again, though even doing that for Elda is not an easy affair. She has a gentle personality by heart and bloodline, after all, you canʼt get close to the fairies if you donʼt have that gentle heart.

This means any threat-like situation that can arise from Elda might be one of impulse. Before my divine awakening, I wouldnʼt have thought much about it, but now, after knowing there lay darker corruption in the hearts of the girls, twisting their souls and turning their mentality, I can fully be assured of the fact that Eldaʼs desire might get the best of her.

ʼThe sad part is that both her friends are aiming for me.ʼ

Which will just devastate Elda even more. And I donʼt even want to think too deeply about the storm that will arise from it, so I have to be very careful about how I play this. Even above that, I still have to deal with my family when I make it back to my home, knowing especially how much I will have to deal with.

ʼAn angry mother, older sister, and a young sister, who are all madly in love with me.ʼ

Guess I can be sure of the fact that it wonʼt be a pretty picture. The only good thing is with the fact that I will have the support of Elda when this thing blows over. After, in the past, I did tell her when I went on the first date with Scarlet, and the jealousy in her had exploded; I had to deal with that quite straightforwardly.

Of course, back then, I went with the fact of dating her because I liked Scarlet; well, at least thatʼs what I told Elda, and things had kept quiet and static there. After forming some more relationships with Nora, I made it such that the whole situation didnʼt pan out and that I didnʼt have much feeling for Scarlet anymore.

It was only after that Elda had even let the whole thing go, though now the whole new thing has popped up. With the information my mother will take to them, I am pretty sure that Elda will understand the fact that I had no choice. Heck, she would also understand the fact that I had even tried to tell her about it.

In her guilty mind, she will form the idea that she hadnʼt seen the ʼpainʼ I was going through; maybe I was even calling out for her help, and she didnʼt see it, and later, I even had to ʼlieʼ to her that things didnʼt pan out and now that I am only focused on the family to ʼprotectʼ them all, which is total nonsense but it gives me more leeway when things are talked about between the girls.

(A\N: To those in doubt, there was a revelation like this in chapter 177.)

Elda will be my inside man, giving me some of the more brownie points that I need, my senses, and then moving forth to understand deeper into this place. As I took my hand away from Soniaʼs body, my mind flashed around towards the talisman I had gotten from Nathalia, which I had given back to her in the name of her wanting to make some adjustments to it.

And knowing how powerful the things Nathalia makes are, there is no doubt the enhancement she makes would be overpowered, which still comes with its maintenance and stuff. Just thinking about Nathalia reminds me of the call or, in this case, a ʼpeacefulʼ request I had gotten from her father.

The man in question has an inkling about the fact that Nathalia might be in love with me, no doubt the info sent to the man by that dwarf woman that I had beat up, which means the places in which I can act are slowly getting lower, and the bomb to be dropped is slowly getting tighter too.

Anyway, the man definitely wants me to meet up with him; after all, in the dwarf city, she is their princess, even though she has hidden her identity. And even above that, Nathalia is one of the few creations left that exist, and me having her love? Does that imply that I will also have command over her services?

It is a known fact about how the dwarves propose, and it will no doubt be known to the king and father that his daughter might be making some mind-breaking, world-breaking set to use when she confesses to me, and it will no doubt bring him some sort of situation that he will have to deal with.

Not to mention, as a father, he would very well like to know about me, too. Other than the facts of the rumours, a face-to-face talk and attention would be very useful. Thus, I already have a pending meeting with him left, and itʼs an important call, too. Also, this time, I have the time with me, which means I have to visit him; after all, a simple next successor of the Archery Association canʼt blow away the king, can he?

But there still lies the problem of Zora. Her love for me keeps interfering with her being able to complete anything, and the added attraction from the power I hold and have distributed has only made things worse for Zora. Plus, the required time for her awakening is also coming close.

After all, there is still a reason why Zora is special in a sense. None of the capture targets is normal; they have their specialities and their powers. The changes for Rina and Sana to shine are also coming, but now the most important thing to deal with is Zora, to whom I still owe a date.

ʼUm...maybe I can take her on a date to the city?ʼ

The thought made me pause for a moment, going to meet the king of the dwarves to talk about his daughter in love with me while taking another girl with me on a date in the very city

he rules.

ʼNow thatʼs the highest point of a scumbag.ʼ

My lips twitch at that thought, but sadly, time isnʼt much on my side, and in this situation, this looks like the best way to take things forward. However, it would seem that I donʼt have much time left on the promise I have to keep for Isabella, who is getting more and more restless as time passes.

ʼI canʼt push forth too much on this.ʼ

My mind is swirling with the ways I could deal with this. My schedule will be very tight if I have to deal with this all, and it would also be good for me to stay away for some time, let the ʼfamilyʼ decide everything between themselves and sort out the problems that will arise.

ʼPlus, it will also give them some time to dwell on guilt and info too.ʼ

My mind flashed with certain thoughts as it came right back to Nathalia. It took some time adjusting to this world since it didnʼt exist with a lot of the technology that I am very used to, and it would be of much help to me if I could start to revolutionise this world on even the aspects of tech, and I know the perfect girl for it.

I am well aware of the fact that this world is now my home, and at the end of it all, I would like

it very much for this world to improve once I have dealt with all the issues I have, especially at my time of ʼretirement.ʼ Some fun things to do in this world will be very appreciated, and I have my plans of making it happen, too.

My hands wrapped tightly around Sonia as she snuggled deeply into my embrace, even unconsciously, she kept placing light kisses around my chest as she hugged me, her body sticking to me like a loving koala. My fingers moved around her spine as my mind flashed through my plans for the coming days.

It would seem in the end I would have to take Zora there with me, as much as a scumbag move it is, itʼs the perfect way to get some things done. Also, during the time right after I deal with Isabellaʼs problem, I will have to go and visit my loving secretaries and a maddening church saintess to reward them for all their work.

ʼGuess I can start building my divine kingdom from there.ʼ

A small smile on my face as I thought of it, keeping Sonia close to me as I thought of getting some shut-eye, though in a sense, I would never be falling asleep...
