Battle and Sex Is All A Primordial Fiend Needs

Chapter 269 Spilling The Beans

?

"Praise the heavens for their wonderful idea to create women" Seth couldn't help but think.

Unlike the dull meal he had scraped up for himself the previous day, Seth was currently sitting outdoors, and before him was a table, one filled with delicacies which he was eating at the moment.

…

After Irene had left him in the tent, Seth had taken some time to prepare himself for the incoming interrogation.

Ready for anything Seth had left the tent, but the scent that he met outside caught him very off-guard.

A medium size rectangular table capable of accommodating two people on its long side sat a few meters away from the tent he had existed, and on it were several dishes filled with food.

Though he would have liked to immediately seat himself at the table and begin eating, Seth couldn't help but hesitate.

"What's going on," Seth asked looking at Irene and Aimy who sat on one side of the table.

Aimy had eyes peeled open anxiously looking at Seth but Seth ignored her worries as his eyes moved to Irene.

"I know how hungry you get after a battle, and given what we saw when we passed by Zuroc's camp, I could only imagine how hungry you must be, so I decided to make this" Irene said.

"How did you make this, I don't see any kitchen on beast carcass around," Seth said his eyes looking at steaming pieces of meat on the table.

"Have you forgotten I stocked up on this while we were with Tamor and back in Tillip" Irene asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Oh that' Seth mumbled, already aware of this but being cautious

"Which reminds me, what about your own stash? What happened to all your food?" Irene asked, yet her only reply was a guilty laugh from Seth as he quickly moved and sat  on one of the seats which stood on the other side of the table, opposite Irene

"It's not poisoned right" Seth couldn't help but ask looking up at Irene with squinted eyes.

"Why would you think that, if I wanted to kill you I would have done it the previous night, you were so out you didn't even move a muscle when I cleaned you up," Irene said rolling her eyes at Seth and turning her head up, and though she tried to hide it, everyone at the table could feel the hurt in her tone...

"I wasn't referring to you trying to kill me, I was referring to you being so benevolent despite your grievance with me."

"Shouldn't you be giving this to me after hearing my reasons?" .

"Well that was my initial intention, but you did so well this morning that I just couldn't bear the thought of leaving you starving," Irene said with a shrug not minding that Aimy was beside her.

"Oh," Seth said, and those were the last word that came out of his mouth till presently.

While Seth ate, his mind couldn't help but mull the benefits of sex, especially their ability to soothe a woman's raging heart. 

And as Seth ate to his heart's content, aiming to fill his stomach, he couldn't help but suddenly reach enlightenment, his mind arriving at the conclusion that the key to a woman's heart was incredible sex.

Years later whenever Seth would remember this enlightenment, he would cringe at how Soluble his mind was to food.

...

Being quite hungry but eating properly, Seth was done clearing out the table minutes later, and just as he said the words" thank you", Irene sent the table before them flying away with a kick. She stood up and moved till she was right in front of Seth, and then with her hand planted on her hips she said one word.

"Speak."

With Irene in front of him. She knew there was no more procrastination of this inevitable talk, so he pushed himself to his feet and faced Irene.

"Why did you leave," She asked.

"Do you think I abandoned you, do you think I will abandon you?" Seth asked, easily wrapping his hands around Irene and pulling her close to him as he looked into her eyes with a hurt gaze.

"Do you think am done with you?" Seth asked, leaning in and capturing her lips, he could feel Iren slightly tremble in his arms.

With Irene pulling back, the kiss was a short one, and immediately it was over, Irene asked her next question.

"So you weren't planning to leave me, you … want me" she silently asked, her voice so low that only Seth could hear it.

"I'll never leave you, I'll always want you," Seth said dismissing her insecurities, but his words rather than bring them together instead had Irene literally push him away.

"And what happened between the two of you, what did she do," Irene asked, the previous weak look on her face now, gone, a fierce expression taking its place.

"What did she tell you "Seth asked, but before Irene could let out a word, Aimy spoke first.

"Nothing, Seth don't tell her anything" Aimy Screamed out, but a violent release of Irene's soul sense had the woman careening backward. 

"Talk again and I'll tie you and your mouth up" Irene spoke, her words bringing a smile to Seth's face as he imagined that was the usual punishment Iren gave Aimy, his lustful mind already creating scenes.

"Seth" Iren spoke, looking Seth in the eyes and directing some hostility at him," what did Iren do that had you risking your life and fighting Zuroc and his army"

"I'll tell you, but first you must promise not to get angry with Aimy, and to still love her like you always have," Seth said.

Seth's request stunned Irene for a few seconds, but after she nodded her head.

"I promise, now speak," Irene said, a bit of worry climbing her face.

"This" Seth said, a thick red scroll appearing in his hand, one which he immediately handed over to Irene.

"She lost it to Zuroc, so she begged me to help get it back.

At first, Irene's face was filled with confusion, but then this expression was replaced by raw anger as she turned to face Aimy.

"How could you lose the scroll" she screamed, her words having Aimy take several steps back, tears already running down her eyes, which were weirdly instead filled with surprise.
