Chapter 23 The Early Bird Gets The Prize
Chapter 23 The Early Bird Gets The Prize
Once they read the conditions that they would be attached to, Daimon closed the soulmate screen which made Elizabeth return to the reality, seeing her aggrieved expression he could only say.
"I don't mind you studying the screen later, but for now I want to know what do you think about all this".
Elizabeth smiled.
"I like how that sounds, on regards to the other thing I don't think there is anything to consider I accept, my plan was going to marry Little Daimon in the future anyway ? so this is like a plus for me".
Aisha couldn't help but think, "I knew she was going to say that".
Erin nodded.
"Liz is right, every cell in my body jumped in happiness when I saw that screen thing, as a half emperor my heart mirror is on a completely different level than they so I'm 100% sure that becoming your "soulmate" will be the best decision I could take in my life".
Although she said that with a serious expression it didn't las long before she returned to her usual relaxed one.
"That being said, the main reason as to why I'm accepting this is because you are the one offering it hehehe ?".
Since those two already made their decision, everyone turned to see Elaine who had a complex expression on her face.
"I… need some time to consider it, I don't dislike the idea or anything like that it's just a bit too overwhelming for me".
Erin sighed.
"I know you have always been the cautious one and that is a good thing considering how reckless Liz tend to be, but sometimes you have to trust your instincts".
Seeing that things were getting a bit tense Aisha decided to step in.
"There is no need to rush things, darling is there some kind of time limit to stablish the contract?".
Daimon shook his head.
"No, in fact even if they accept becoming my soulmates, I will need some time to get fragments of Laplace for them…"
Daimon stopped midway, "what am I saying, I'm about to make a half Emperor and a peak Archmage my soulmates, just a couple of beasts hunted by them will for sure get me a lot of coins".
Evangeline clapped her hands.
"Thank to the heavens, you finally are starting to see the potential of the system… well more like your potential since the system was created to adapt to your "tastes" hahaha".
Daimon decided to ignore her.
"Auntie, big sister Elizabeth can you two leave this place at your own will or… other people need to know about it?".
Elizabeth snorted.
"Humph if I want to leave no one can stop me… besides mom of course".
Elizabeth's words made the tense atmosphere disappear immediately, which made Daimon feel relieved, he just met them not too long ago and here he was proposing some "shady" deal to them.
"That is good, I'm going to need your help to gather some things… I will tell you the details later, if my supposition is right then I will be able to give you two a grimoire just like I did with mom sooner than I originally expected.
Elaine shook her head before stealing some glances at Aisha.
"I swear you never think before acting, last time I had the chance to make an important choice I let my position as the clan head to take away something important for me and I… won't make the same mistake again, count me in ?".
Elizabeth smiled.
"Well said, I take back all the times I called you boring old woman hahaha".
Aisha laughed.
"There you have it darling, I didn't see how the contract is made last time so I'm a bit curious about it".
She was not the only one, in Aisha's case Daimon wasn't the one who performed the contract to accept her as his soulmate, it was the system, he only needed to agree due to the especial situation back then.
"Oi Evangeline, what do I have to do to accept them as my soulmates?".
…
Some seconds later, he heard the unmistakable teasing voice of Evangeline.
"Well… there are two options which do you want to try the boring one or the fun one?".
… "I'm afraid to ask but what is the difference between one and the other?", he said.
Evangeline laughed.
"The boring one just require you to offer them a contract, the voice command is "vertrag", just think on the person you want to form the bond with and the system will do the rest, doing it this way it will take a couple of hours for the system to form the connection, quite boring and one sided if you ask me".
"Now for the fun way to do it, you just need a sign of intimacy between you and the person you want to accept as your soulmate, it could be a kiss or something along the lines of that, also this way the contract will be formed immediately".
Honestly Daimon was expecting to hear something more extreme but, what she said wasn't so bad.
"Why does it work like that, I mean why one of the methods need some time to succeed while the other one is instantaneous?".
p
"I told you, the system works based on your desires so you should know the answer to that better than me ?".
…
Daimon shrugged.
"That phrase won't always work, however I will go with the second option, just because I… don't want to waste time".
Now that he convinced himself about that being his only reason, he turned to see Elizabeth who was in front of him.
"For this to work we need to share a moment of… "intimacy", a kiss on the cheeks will be enough, of course I need to have the intention of offering you a spot as my soulmate or it won't activate".
Aisha doubted for a second but she remembered the nature of being a soulmate which was basically a lover and she didn't find strange the condition her son said, in fact she noticed that lately she has been more affectionate towards him.
Elizabeth was about to reply when Daimon's body started floating again, he froze when he felt something soft pressing against his lips.
"Mm ?".
After a couple of seconds Erin saw a similar screen as the one Daimon showed her before and she unwillingly stopped the kiss, after licking her lips she directed a triumphant smile at Elizabeth before saying.
"The early bird gets the prize".
Daimon was still processing what just happened, "I… missed something as good as this on my past life!!!", he thought.
Evangeline smiled.
"That's why I told you this was the fun way".
Daimon came out of his trance when he listened to the iconic sound of a notification.
*Ding*
[Erin Revy has accepted the contract]
[A new title has been awarded to the host due to a specific action]
…
Daimon had a bad premonition so he opened the tittle tab and he was speechless, there was another unlocked slot.
[New tittle unlocked: Casanova]
[The host has successfully seduced a being of the opposite sex with high gap on both age and cultivation thus earning the tittle of Casanova, a man with charisma can convince others of anything, the words of the host will now have a tempting and convincing effect on members of the opposite sex (cupid whispers)]
Evangeline couldn't hold back her laugh.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect that to happen but I guess that is a bonus reward".
