Chapter 161 - Rina’s Feelings

Knock! Knock!

Seth was already inside his guest house when he suddenly heard someone knocking. He just arrived from inside the dungeon, but he wasn't tired at all, so he decided to go check.

He opened the door and was surprised after seeing Rina standing there.

After she saw his face, she suddenly remembered what he had told her before and couldn't help but get a bit red. She was one of those girls with bashful personalities and would probably be ashamed of trying anything with Seth even though she had started to feel something for him.

However, Seth already knew about it. Who wouldn't know that by the way she was acting? He just decided to not force things with her, because he was not desperate. He didn't want to be forceful with her and end up destroying her love experience by that. However, he made sure that he would try to correct this bashfulness she had, because it would just end up being bad for her.

"Rina? What a surprise. Can I help you with something?"

"Eh... Uhm... Mother had requested me to come here and wait for her with you."

"Oh? Arwen did? Very well, come in."

"Okay."

Rina entered his room to wait for Arwen. After closing the door, she felt her heart racing uncontrollably.

Seth noticed that she was anxious and said: "You can make yourself comfortable. I'm going to take a quick bath while we wait for her."

"Uh...? Alright." Rina felt uncomfortable to stay inside his house while he was taking a bath, but she didn't say anything.

Seth entered the bathroom and started to enjoy a quick bath. At his level of strength, he could cleanse his body impurities with his own Mana, and that's what he has been doing all this while when he was inside the dungeon. However, Seth really liked to take a bath sometimes. It helped him calming down and think of his next steps.

While he was inside, Rina kept looking at everything around the room with interest. It was a not only a human male room, but the room of someone she had a crush on. That's why anything she saw was interesting in the end.

She sat on his bed and started to pick up some of the things that were on top of it. She noticed a silver ring in the middle of many things and realized that it was probably his spatial ring. Her first response was to not even touch it, since she would end up trespassing his privacy, but a devilish little Rina kept poking her head, urging her to take a look.

Being the curious cat she was, she took the ring and started to observe it. After some seconds, she gave a quick peek on what was inside. But as soon as she did it, she couldn't help but get shocked.

Seth was super rich. There were so many things inside his spatial ring that she couldn't even count everything. There were many things she didn't know, and she didn't even dare to touch them, fearing they would break.

Seth was getting the habit of using his Soul Sense very often, that's why he already knew everything Rina was doing since the beginning. He didn't bother letting her touch or see anything he had, that's why he kept taking his bath peacefully, but he couldn't help but want to teach her a little lesson for peeking at another person's belongings.

After finishing his bath, he picked a small towel that was already inside the bathroom, wrapping it around his waist.

Suddenly, Rina heard the bathroom door opening and she put the spatial ring back on where it was. However, when she saw Seth, her already calm heart, started to beat wildly.

He was only wearing a towel around his waist, making his whole torso be exposed in front of her.

Rina saw how some drops of water ran down from his neck area, passing through the lines on his chest and abs, until it disappeared behind the towel and even forgot how to say anything.

In a state of shock, she even forgot to take her eyes off of his body.

Seth started to walk towards her in slow steps, making sure she would appreciate everything she was seeing. When he was nearing her, he suddenly said: "I forgot to bring clean clothes with me, so I had to come back and get them."

He curved his body to pick his spatial ring that Rina had left on top of the bed. After taking it, he was about to turn around and head back to the bathroom, but his towel suddenly fell.

Seth quickly picked it up in the midst of its falling, not letting his member get exposed for her to see. However, it was a close call.

While Seth's towel was falling, Rina's heart has stopped. Everything seemed to have turned black and white for her and the colors only returned after Seth wrapped the towel back.

It was really a close call, however for Rina's heart it was the real deal. It was beating so fast now, that it made her entire upper body get completely red by the huge amount of blood it was pumping.

Seth returned back to the bathroom, leaving the devastated Rina sitting on his bed. This experience for her, was wilder than fighting with those beasts she fought, before encountering with Seth for the first time.

After five more minutes, Seth finally left the bathroom, but this time he was properly dressed. When he entered his bedroom, he saw that Rina wasn't even able to maintain eye contact with him anymore.

A devilish smile bloomed on his lips, since the first step of his plan has already been accomplished. If he wanted to change Rina's personality a little, he would have to accustom her to these things, or else she would turn into a blushing tomato every time.

"Then... Where is Arwen? She should be arriving soon, right?" Seth asked, trying to break her uncomfortableness.

"... Mother? She will be here soon..."

"Soon? Wait... When did she tell you she would be coming?"

"At the evening."

"What?! It's just a bit past noon." Seth looked at Rina with some doubts.

"I-I... I was feeling lonely."

"Ahahaha... You could have told me that. I would have brought you with me to my training."

"Were you training?"

"Yeah. I asked for Elyra's help on some minor issues I had."

"..." Rina got a bit serious after hearing Elyra's name.

Seth noticed her silence and said: "Hey, if you have something you want to say, you don't need to stand on ceremony with me, alright?"

After hearing his words, Rina felt like asking.

"Then, let me ask you about some things... What you said before, about Elyra being your girlfriend, is that the truth?"

"Oh? Of course, it is."

"Then, are you cheating on Caizhi? Why are you doing this with her? Actually, did you tell me the truth about you and my mother?"

Seth looked towards Rina and saw that she was finally looking at his eyes.

"I see... Your mother didn't tell you about all these things."

"Mother didn't tell me...?"

"Yeah. Well, it's like this. There is something really important in this world, it's called power. With power, your able to obtain status, and with status you can have anything you want and other people will never dare to point a finger towards you. That's why many influential people, actually have more than a single partner in their lives and it's justified by the fact they are powerful."

"So, are you doing this because you are influent?"

"Ahahaha, of course not. I do have a bit of status, but it is not enough to reach your mother's status. I do it because I'm greedy and selfish. I'm not a saint and never will be, that's why when I felt something for Caizhi, something for Elyra and something for Arwen, I tried everything to show them that I wanted their love and to love them back. You don't have to worry about them not knowing, since I don't like to hide anything important from the people I like."

Seth kept looking inside Rina's crystal-clear green eyes.

"That's why you should be careful around me, like how your mother have probably told you. And that's why I didn't lie when I told you I could be something more for you too."

"!!!"

"I don't know if I could be like them... I don't know if I could accept a relationship like that."

"Rina, listen... We are going to travel together to the human territory and I don't want you to be so conscious about that throughout our journey, so I assure you that I will never do something you don't like. That's why you should feel comfortable around me and treat me as a friend. If you ever feel like you're willing to take a step forward, than we can do it together, because that's who and how I am."

Rina heard his words and stood silent. However, many of her doubts were cleared and her emotions were starting to get better shaped.. However, it would take some time for them to get complete.
