Chapter 82: A Menace In The Forest [2]
"Ah, Kaisen-kun, I was just giving her some tips on the magic staff. Though my knowledge is limited, it was easy to teach Alice-san since she's a prodigy herself."
The knight laughed awkwardly.
"Truer words were never spoken."
Kaisen agreed, his eyes glinting with a lewd expression as he looked at Alice.
"I've seen it myself, how she can quickly adapt to certain things..."
Alice's blush intensified, turning her cheeks into ripe tomatoes.
Her lips trembled and her eyes widened as she glanced at Kaisen's face, attempting to hide her embarrassment from the knight's gaze.
Not only that, she could feel Kaisen's hand sliding down, his fingers curling around a handful of her ass cheek.
It made her bite her lip, a mixture of embarrassment and arousal flooding through her.
"Kai-Kaisen-kun!!!"
She whispered, her eyes darting towards the knight as if she were indicating that he was right there.
"Ahem. As I was saying, she's a quick learner, and I feel like I have shared all I can with her. For further knowledge, Sable-san can assist her better in this regard. She's well-versed in magic and can truly help her."
Maximus nodded in agreement.
"Well, looks like we need to set up some private lessons for the ladies, doesn't it? Alice-san, how do you feel about that?"
His grip on her ass cheeks was so intense that she could feel the heat rising between her thighs.
The pressure was almost unbearable, making her wonder if her cheek would be swollen from his touch.
With a quick nod, she signaled her eagerness to proceed.
"Y-yes, Maximus-san. Sable-san has been incredibly kind to me. I'd be thrilled to have her as my teacher."
'And I'll be honored to watch you two. Hehehe.'
"Ah, speaking of Sable-san, come on, Maximus-san, she's just over there gathering berries. She could use some assistance before the sun sets on her harvest..."
He let his voice trail off like a gentle breeze, leaving the unspoken invitation hanging in the air.
There was no need to elaborate further; the knight grasped the hidden meaning perfectly.
Alice was clueless about the situation, but she didn't give a damn, all her focus on the fingers digging into her asshole.
"Take me there, Kaisen-kun. Gotta make sure those scavengers don't get a piece of the action."
Kaisen nodded, a wicked grin spreading across his face.
"Alright, I'll wait here then."
Alice stammered.
"What?! Stay here alone in the middle of nowhere without anyone from our group?"
Kaisen looked at her sternly.
"Well, it's not like there's anything out there, right? Plus, I'm right at our campsite."
"So what? There are much more dangerous things in this forest that I don't want you to be alone with. Please, my Honey Peach, just come with me... for my peace of mind. I don't want to be constantly worried about you being here alone. Please."
Alice blushed and looked away.
She couldn't deny the fact that he cared about her deeply, enough to want her by his side.
"O-okay. I-if my Honey Bun wants it then..."
She bashfully looked at him while he smiled lovingly at her. He leaned in and kissed her forehead.
"Thank you."
"Ahem... don't want to waste any more time here..."
Maximus glanced away, relieved that at least these two had a somewhat normal relationship.
"Right..."
...
On the way, Kaisen pointed out a new patch of berries and instructed Alice to stay and pick them.
It was only a short distance from where Sable was currently located, so if anything happened, he could quickly rush to her aid.
"You really love the girl, eh?"
Maximus asked as they continued walking towards their destination.
It wasn't merely walking; it was akin to running at a walking pace.
"Of course, who wouldn't love her? She's kind, cute, and adept at caring for others. She's perfect in every sense."
'And her body is smoking hot.'
Maximus nodded in agreement.
"True, Alice-san is a nice girl..."
Kaisen glanced at the middle-aged man.
He couldn't help but feel a twinge of pity for him.
However, this was his game, and he was about to claim all that was at stake.
'I'm the main character here. This is my story.'
"What? Sable-san not a good woman?"
"Of course, of course, she's a good woman... It's just..."
Maximus's voice faded as he stared into the distance.
Kaisen grinned, noticing his expression.
It was a breakup he desired, plain and simple.
Nothing more.
He yearned for Maximus and Sable to split, just like snapping a twig in two.
Two people with clashing values, that was his aim.
Sable craved freedom, while Maximus demanded her loyalty and nothing else.
They were like opposing magnets, pulling in opposite directions.
If Maximus is pushed too hard, he might just take it out on Sable, but she's not one to back down easily.
Another option, though highly unlikely, is for Maximus to become a cuck.
But let's face it, that's as rare as a unicorn, considering Maximus's stubborn pride.
'Wait, this is a fantasy world, the chances of meeting a Unicorn is highly likely.'
"What's the deal, Maximus-san? That she's been acting weird out of the blue?"
Maximus glanced at Kaisen for a moment and gave a slight nod.
"Well, that's life. Especially when there's a pervert jerk in the mix. And to top it off, he's got an advantage over you, Maximus-san."
"Advantage? What advantage?"
Kaisen raised a finger.
"Kinship."
"Kinship? What's that supposed to mean?"
Maximus raised his brows in confusion.
"It means that, being an elf, even a dark one, she'll have a bond with another elf. If that elf is a smooth talker with the ladies, well, good luck to you."
Maximus shook his head, clearly skeptical.
"But there were other elves in the palace, and she never batted an eye at them."
"That's the damn problem. Your kind may be strong and respectable, but we've got a sleazy womanizer and a creep who can play a woman's heart like a fiddle, just like puppeteers pulling strings on their puppets."
"..."
"What? No, no...."
Despite Maximus's denial, the memories replaying in his mind told a different story.
