Chapter 34 Tears
Chapter 34 Tears
?
Morning...
Adam stretched as he left the underground bar. He felt rested and light as if all the weight had suddenly disappeared from his shoulders. He walked lightly toward his house.
When he went inside, he saw two maids, Mary and Claire. They were sitting on the couch, talking about something. But a sudden creak of the door made them turn toward the entrance, and they smiled when they saw Adam.
"Master!" With a loud cry, the two women jumped on his chest and hugged him tightly.
"I'm back." Adam smiled softly and stroked their heads.
The women were happy and smiled brightly, showing Adam a charming expression on his face. He sat down on the couch, and the two women lay on his chest while Adam stroked their hair while he was immersed in his thoughts.
He had a plan. To create his city, which would be his headquarters. Given his wealth, which could be increased at any second, Adam saw no problem in getting himself a stronghold.
However, there was a small problem getting out of the capital. Still, it was worth realizing that, despite his freedom, Adam was still a prisoner. He flashed his eyes and wondered what he could do to make Amaria approve of his exit.
Adam closed his eyes and immersed himself in the system. He looked at the items in the Chamber of Commerce] but saw nothing good. And if there was anything attractive, it was only for the high price of over a hundred thousand.
Adam sighed and entered the [Hall of Meditation]. As always, he meditated for six hours.
[Strength Increased]
[Casanova Experience (Level 4): 19/55]
"How slow..." Adam frowned as he realized how little experience he was getting from meditating. It wasn't profitable at all.
It was easier for him to find a major city and seduce all the women there to get the Seduction Points, and an upgrade would be just around the corner. Adam stood up and prostrated himself while his deep black eyes lit up, reflecting his thought process.
With a sigh, Adam got out of the system and saw that it was already evening. He thought for a moment and told the two maids that he needed to go away on business.
Watching the sunset, Adam got into the carriage, which headed toward the castle. The road was not the smoothest, and the rocks on the road made the carriage bounce, causing Adam to nearly fall face down.
Twenty minutes later...
The carriage stopped five meters from the gate to the castle. Adam got out of the carriage and continued on foot, as there was a law that forbade the accumulation of vehicles near the royal castle.
His shoes made a quiet rustling noise, and his very appearance drew attention. Adam approached the gate and bowed.
"Hello, gentlemen. I am Adam Harris, and I am here for an audience with Her Majesty".
One of the guards, as he listened to Adam's speech, suddenly narrowed his eyes, and a strong pressure came down on Adam. But he stood his ground, albeit with difficulty, and only smiled as he waited for an answer. After a few seconds, he heard a snort.
"Hmph, Her Majesty has given the go-ahead. Come in," one of the guards said in a hoarse voice, warning Adam. "Behave yourself with dignity before Her Majesty. You have only half an hour!"
Adam nodded, and the gate opened, inviting him inside. He walked through the gate with a straight and elegant gait, and this time there was no suicide bomber like Arannis.
After five minutes of walking, Adam finally saw the main entrance to the castle and sighed heavily, realizing the enormity of the castle.
"Welcome, Master Adam. Her Majesty is ready to receive you and would like to invite you to dinner".
Adam was slightly surprised but nodded nonetheless. Once they entered the seemingly endless corridors, Adam tried his best not to cringe with exhaustion when it took them more than ten minutes to reach the dining hall.
The door opened slowly, and through the crack, Adam could already see Amaria, who was quietly eating dinner and thinking about something. Her long golden hair was tied in a high ponytail today, and she wore more casual clothes. There was no crown or jewelry, just a clean white dress.
Her soft green eyes blinked and sometimes shone when she guessed something or came to a decision. Even when Adam sat down in front of her, she was still immersed in her thoughts.
Adam didn't bother her and just watched her face with his chin tucked under his chin. He had to accept the fact that Amaria's beauty was exceptional and that this was also true of her temperament.
Although her kindness is indeed wonderful,
"Usually such good people, or rather elves, end their lives unhappily." Adam leaned back in his chair and squinted his eyes, thinking. "She left me with the impression of a kind and gentle woman, but a determined and wise queen. Given her level, it would be very difficult to seduce her, given my current level and experience."
Adam brushed his hair behind his ears and smiled softly. He looked gentle and kind, which made the maids lose their sense of reality for a moment and stare at his face in confusion. They would change their minds, however, if they heard Adam's thoughts.
"So I need to seduce her, and to do that, I need to raise the level." Adam narrowed his eyes, looking at Amaria. "Then I can get Elfheim and control an entire race. And given the current war, there will be fewer men."
What is the easiest way to raise the level? Seduce strong women.
With each level, Adam's charm grows higher and higher, and if he is at level 100, which is rated at S+ rank,
"Seducing her will be easy." Adam smiled softly and picked up his fork as they brought him the equivalent of spaghetti with some sauce he didn't understand.
Adam twirled his fork and took the spaghetti, poking at it. Afterward, he held the fork out, palm up from underneath, and smiled softly.
"Your Majesty, the thought process requires a considerable expenditure of energy. Here, eat."
Adam's voice, as if it were an alarm clock, awakened Amaria from her sleep, and she blinked, looking at the fork. After thinking for a moment, she leaned forward and ate the spaghetti from Adam's hands, causing the maids to open their mouths in shock.
"Here's more." Adam laughed and held out another portion, which Amaria ate without complaint.
This went on until the plate of spaghetti was empty. Adam smiled softly and wiped the corners of Amaria's stained lips with sauce.
The next course was a salad of rare forest vegetables. Adam was already sitting next to Amaria, holding out his fork to her as she stared ahead absent-mindedly and immersed herself in her thoughts.
Adam could see that she was sad and lacking in mood, much less appetite. This he heard from the mouths of the maids, who whispered behind him. However, he could only shrug his shoulders and feed Amaria.
The meal continued, and Adam simply fed Amaria without words. He was indifferent to the shocked stares of the servants and just relaxed as if he were just feeding a child. Adam sighed.
"I have this strange feeling of deja vu."
And then, as if from nowhere, there was a barely audible sniffing sound. Adam lifted his eyes to meet Amaria's, tears streaming from his eyes.
"What's the matter with her?" Adam thought about it and was very surprised.
Out of the corner of their eyes, they noticed the sad faces of the maids, who knew the reason for her sadness. Adam wondered.
There were two reasons why Amaria might have cried. One, naturally, was war. Having a gentle and kind character, Amaria grieved every soldier's death as if they were her children. For her, it was stressful and a cause for self-injury.
However, Adam could not understand her. It was obvious that it was impossible to win a war without blood and tears. Besides, Amaria herself had called her people to war, so she should have expected something like this.
Though the actions of the humans in making the elves their slaves were not pretty, Adam could find no reason why the war should have been started. After all, many elves had been enslaved before.
