Chapter 312

"Looks like your name is resounding the world"

The average looking brown haired girl spoke as she leaned onto the chair with a smile on her face, meanwhile, I sat opposite to her as all around me the students were gossiping about the news that had now taken the world by storm, even though the library should be quite the people still talked and talked.

The news that I am the one and only successor of Eleanor was truly astounding, my name was just getting to stop being spread and yet once again I shook the world with my news, the disciple of an Imperial is something that affects the world especially Eleanor's as all her assets would be going to me and I will in the future be the head of the Archery Association, even though it's new, its power couldn't be looked down at all,

"Sigh... it's a pain"

I replied back to Celestina who seems to be enjoying my troubles, right now I couldn't even walk outside, hundreds of different students would wave upon wave crash toward me, all seeking to gain my attention or a bit of my time, before even though I am a faction leader, in the sense of standing I was just the third child of the Duchy but now?

Now I am the future pillar of power, I am the successor of a huge power that stands in this world, in the future those that followed me will only have success, I am sure now that all those who had left my faction would be crying tears of blood, loads of invitations and congrats keep flooding my place, students of power wish to form connections and many more,

"Hehehe....popularity is not all that great, right?"

"That's true"

I responded with a shake of my head to Celestinia, who narrowed her eyes at me as she spoke again,

"You must be loving it, right? Now more girls are hounding at you"

"Do I look like the guy that will jump from girl to girl?"

I asked back with an exasperated sigh, though in the heart that question was completely true,

"Yes"

Celestinia replied to which I narrowed my eyes as I spoke with a snarl,

"Why? is someone becoming jealous?"

I replied to which Celestinia just snorted, leaning back against the chair I looked deeply at Celestinia,

"To be truthful I already have a girlfriend"

"Oh?~I think if this news were to spread several girls' hearts would break"

Celestinia replied with narrowed eyes, my words I am sure had picked her interest, seeing this I hid my true intention as I started to speak like a common man complaining about his love life,

"You know the girl I like is cute, she acts all brave but I could tell that she's shy, she likes it when I hug her and her taste in food is really weird"

I chuckled at my last words as my eyes discreetly took in the sight of Celestinia who seems to have some sort of frown on her face,

"Are you venting to me about her?"

She asked her voice containing a hint of something she herself wouldn't understand, to her question I shook my head without even looking at her,

.

"No, I'm just complaining about her big sister, she's just a pain"

"Really? why?"

Celestinia asked, now her complete focus on me but I didn't reply as I gave her a sympathetic gaze,

"You too have a big sister...huh"

I spoke, 'misunderstanding' the fact that her newfound interest is due to having a big sister, she didn't agree or deny it as she kept looking at me,

"Sigh.....well it's just the fact that my girlfriend respects her big sister a lot and she wishes for her blessing but for some reason, that woman keeps getting on my nerves, why do I need her permission for anything?"

I spoke out my voice dripping with dislike, which I am sure will be intriguing Celestinia more and more,

"What about her makes you annoyed?"

Celestinia implored, her question 'surprising' me,

"I don't actually hate her, it's just that our meeting had ended up where she acted as if she could decide who I could love and whom I could hate, if it wasn't for her powers I could have done more"

"So, the woman is more powerful than you?"

Celestinia asked with surprise to which I nodded,

"Yeah, I think we could be good friends if we tried but I don't think that's going to happen with her 24/7 haughty look"

"You want to become close with her, my, my already entrapped by you sister-in-law, what a bad man"

Celestinia spoke with a disdain-filled voice, seemingly making fun of me, her words were light and easy but I knew that this is the deciding moment, the wrong answer, and bye bye my chance at getting myself a Dragon Princess,

"Yuck! why would I be interested in her!"

A sudden impulse reaction came from me as I looked deeply insulted by the fact that I would even like her and when I looked at Celestina's face I could see that she was deeply startled but she quickly corrected herself as she got back to her questioning look but her poker look wasn't all that great since I could see her eyes twitching and there was a super increase in the rate she was hitting her fingers to the table.

Well, that was just the tip of the ice burg, as for a moment I felt a huge increase in the mana activity in the surroundings,

"She's not my type at all, plus I have my girlfriend and I truly have no interest in cheating on her I am not that kind of man"

My final words were powerful and they carried my deep pride as I looked deeply into Celestinia's eyes, who now seemed to have calmed down,

"I see..."

That's all she spoke as she turned silent, my plans for her are just beginning now, from now onwards I am sure that the real Celestinia without any disguise will contact me, my words hit her deep pride and she with her unconscious mind will try to make it such that I will feel interested in her, knowing her she won't go far but she will try her best to make me 'fall'.

And back here both of our bonds will increase where she will try to get a better understanding of me, not knowing that with days passing her emotions for me keeps increasing, it would be a double side attack, if things go well I will slowly wear her down till I have her heart.

After my sudden talk we didn't say much as we just talked about the new historic findings or other histories to be uncovered and finally, an hour later I left, moving towards the elven princess, I had gotten an invitation for a meeting but something tells me this has a higher hand in play, thinking of the half-elven girl my smile widened, I am sure her plays at me will be fun and I can't wait for to see how much tricks she's got with her.
