Lord of Charm

Chapter 17 16 – First Argument With Lena

?Gale and Rachel kept enjoying their time between the sheets, and engrossed in their steamy love scene, they lost the track of time. This time, Gale totally forgot about Lena's bad habits and kept having a go at Rachel, and Rachel didn't know of Lena's habits in the first place.

"Are you ready? Time to go."

The door creaked open, and Lena's voice put a halt to their echoing moans. Gale froze in place, still entangled with Rachel's body, while Rachel barely hid her smirk. She already felt like she had the upper hand in the scheming competition she believed she had with Lena.

"AHHH"

Rachel shrieked with panic. Gale immediately stood in front of her and hid her naked body from Lena's sight with his.

"Don't aim that thing at me."

Lena pointed at his spear, which was seemingly ready to be launched and impale an unsuspecting girl. Gale wore an embarrassed expression and quickly covered his private parts, not before he covered Rachel with the sheets.

"Lena, could you wait outside? I'll take a quick shower and come out."

"Ok, hurry up. Don't let the girl join you inside else you might forget yourself in there."

Lena instructed and went out. Gale quickly entered the shower and started washing with hot water. Rachel was still thinking about how to proceed with her plans when the door was opened again.

"He is quite protective of you."

Lena remarked. She decided to come back while Gale was showering. This time, Rachel didn't bother hiding her naked body; she felt she was already safe as Gale's woman. Her body, dirty with sweat, jizz, and her own juices she has squirted out, lay exposed to Lena's eyes.

"We just hit it off really well."

Rachel smiled at her.

"I might become your sister in law soon if Gale doesn't want to let me go. Judging from his passion those few hours, I don't think he will let me go."

"Did you seduce him?"

Lena said quietly. Although her voice was quiet, Rachel could hear her well, and she felt the threat in that short question.

"I didn't do anything on purpose, we just formed a connection in the first moment."

Rachel decided not to provoke Lena, it would be stupid to make her an enemy even if she can become Gale's woman successfully. Although she was a commoner, everyone heard the rumors about the talented daughter of the Stormborn family.

She believed that if she showed sincere love to Gale, Lena would accept the inevitable and let them be together. Honestly, it wasn't even difficult to play the part; Gale was just too attractive, and after a few hours with him, she didn't know if she could be satisfied by a normal man ever again.

"Even if Gale wants you, I won't let it happen. Don't get your hopes up. If I think you tried manipulating his feelings, you already know what to expect. Do your role, give him your affinity with the Earth element and I will compensate you generously."

Lena was a bit worried, she didn't want to fight with Gale over a woman who wasn't even talented enough to be worthy to become Gale's partner in life. After she finished what she came to say, she quickly left the room again before Gale could come out of the shower.

Rachel had her own preparations before Gale came out of the shower, as she wanted to look more presentable. She got up and quickly wiped herself of all the sweat and the other liquids, and put on the oversized prison shirt, making herself look cute again.

Gale finished his shower quickly and came out with his underwear on. he dressed up and gave a goodbye kiss to Rachel, who in return took his hand and led it under her shirt, letting him find out she wore nothing beneath it.

"See you tomorrow, darling."

She said with a coquettish smile as she sent him off. Gale could only leave with his imagination running wild, forming a small bulge in his pants again. He inhaled, calmed himself, and went out to meet with Lena.

"How was the day with Rachel? Did you get some earth element affinity?"

Lena probed as soon as he got out, she wanted to make sure he didn't pity the woman and held himself back.

"Ah… about that…"

Gale planned to think about the way to approach Lena and tell her about his feelings later, but he didn't think she will bring it up so quickly before he could think of the right way to tell her.

"Don't tell me, did she convince you to take pity on her?"

"She didn't convince me! I just felt a real connection with her as soon as we met, I just know she would be a good partner for me."

Gale decided to just let it out and be honest with Lena. Either way, the truth would come to light eventually, and he was already determined to protect Rachel.

"She MANIPULATED you, brother! Don't believe just any vixen's act, you're supposed to be the charmer, so why do you get charmed by an average woman?"

Lena berated him angrily. She couldn't believe her brother was so naïve, she thought him to be smarter than that.

"No, she was genuinely scared of you and tried to hide the truth. She even told me we must separate after I'm done with her! Only because she is bad at hiding her feelings, I could see through her pretense and extract the truth from her! How could you threaten her with death if she doesn't give up her connection? It's horrible!"

Gale confronted Lena directly and gave her a piece of his mind. Lena, on the other hand, was furious. This woman led her little brother by the nose! She already decided in her anger to watch over Gale fucking all the women she will ever supply him with, or one day she might find him a lackey of some random woman!

"The reason I've threatened her is obvious! it was to prevent her from manipulating just the way she did!"

She tried to knock some sense into Gale's head but to no avail.

"I won't let you hurt her. If you do, I will never forgive you, Lena. She is innocent, not everyone is scheming against us. Her feelings for me are pure."

"NO WOMAN IS WORTHY OF YOU IF SHE ISN'T AT LEAST AS TALENTED AS ME!"

Lena screamed at him. she would never let him marry a mediocre woman; He could only have the best as his partner, especially now after he had found out that he has an even higher potential than her.

"Talent in magic isn't everything, sister! Doesn't it mean I wasn't worthy of Miss Atress when we believed I was talentless? This is just hypocrisy!"

Gale pointed out her hypocrisy, he truly believed one shouldn't pick their partner only by magic talent and prowess standards. Personality and temperament were way more important; wouldn't a good woman make him happy regardless of her strength? If he was strong enough to protect the two of them, he didn't need his woman to be strong.

"It's different!"

"How?"

"You are my little brother!"

Her reasons were completely subjective, but in a sense, her words were true in a different meaning. Who wouldn't want to be the sister in law of one of the most talented mages in the kingdom?

"I'm done arguing about it, I'm just asking you not to hurt her. If you love me, please follow my request."

"Fine."

Lena gave him her consent and they went home. Gale was excited, he instructed Nina to clear the room next to his for a new resident. He had already decided to free Rachel from jail tomorrow and bring her to live with him in his mansion.

He started writing a list of women's clothes he believed would fit Rachel, and contemplated which gifts she'd like. He even started planning how to tell Lena he can't marry Atress and cancel their forthcoming wedding.

Lost in his imagination for the future with Rachel, he fell asleep.
