Chapter 157: Isla is too happy?
Gathering up her courage, Isla decided to ask him what she wanted and said, looking at his handsome face, but her tone of voice became a little lower compared to before.
"L-Leader, can I-I..." She stopped at this and made herself relax a little by feeling the pats on her head, but what she was going to ask was against the rules, so it was hard for her to say, knowing he was her leader.
Aiden sensed her hesitation about asking something, and having already decided on making her part of his harem, he said to her that even if she asked something, he wouldn't mind it.
"Go on, Isla, say what you want. I am not going to mind it."
Getting his confirmation, she felt even more like it was a dream, as the things happening to her today were not something she could imagine happening any time soon.
'Hehehe, I don't know how, but today I am so lucky.' Another thought appeared in her mind, but she ignored it for now as she focused on Aiden.
"C-Can I
always
call you by your n-name, Leader?" After finally saying these words, a look of expectation and a little fear appeared on her face, as she wouldn't feel good if he rejected her.
She had seen Alicia always calling him by his name every time, and it made her jealous every time she saw and heard it. So, she really wanted to call the person she loved by his name, not some title like others as this small yet simple privilege means a lot to her.
Aiden understood what she was trying to say as he focused much on the word "always" while she said this.
'Does she want to call me by my name every time?' He knew it wouldn't be appropriate for her to call him by his name when he was her leader; however, he didn't care about these things now, as he had already made up his mind about making Isla his woman, who was in love with him.
"Okay, you can always call me Aiden."
Her body trembled slightly at hearing his words as she felt she was dreaming, as he had agreed so easily, even when it was breaking the rules. So, with a bright smile on her face, she said cutely to him, looking directly into his eyes with an intense love that could be seen in the form of a deep swirling.
"Thank you, A-Aiden."
Aiden, seeing the excitement and cheerfulness on her face and especially those possessive eyes that made him feel her intense love so he couldn't help but rub her gently with the hand he was using to give her pats.
Isla hummed in response to his touch, tilting her head and moving it slightly to feel his care.
Now, Alicia, standing next to her brother, was getting irritated little by little, even though she had accepted Isla.
'Isn't this girl having too much fun when this is the first time she has talked to my brother properly?'
'Argh! What should I do? Should I just cast a weak spell on her for fun and stop this shameless woman from acting too cute in front of Aiden?'
'No! That could hurt my brother. Argh, so irritating!'
She cursed herself a few times for not being capable enough to fully satisfy her monstrous brother in bed; otherwise, upon seeing something like this, she would have already cast her most powerful spell.
'And why is my little brother moving too fast?' She understood he had decided Isla would be in his harem, but wasn't it too much for talking for the first time?
She was controlling herself with sheer willpower, but she didn't know how much longer she could control herself.
"So Isla, what about the skill?" While saying this, Aiden brought his hand back to her head to do the head pats again, as even he felt he was moving too fast, but her cute response to his caress made it all worth it for him.
Isla, hearing him, didn't waste any more time and cheerfully replied while the tremble in her body was not something she could control, so she just let it be her natural response to his pats.
"That's simple, A-Aiden. We thought you knew already which is why Ava didn't inform you, as you only have to give your magic a name after it reaches a certain level, it would become a skill in your status."
She felt excited as she began to explain these things to him; a proud look could be seen on her face as she continued.
"And that's not the best part, Aiden! After it becomes a skill, it becomes much easier to use, and even the progress would show in the status in the form of its rank and it increases as you practice the said spell more."
Isla had created two spells of her own, which is why she knew about all this clearly; otherwise, she didn't think she could have explained it to him that clearly. She didn't just stop there and started to explain how she had created two skills, what these skills were, and many more things about them.
She realized her work was done here now, and she had to go back, which is why she was talking so much even when she knew she had already told him all the important things, knowing she wouldn't be able to receive gentle pats on her head.
Aiden could see there was anxiety on her face, and he guessed why she must be feeling like that. While he would miss her cute reactions, he knew this was not the last time they were going to have such a lovely conversation. So, stopping her, he said in a calm yet gentle voice.
"Calm down. This is not the last time we are going to talk."
He started gently caressing her face again, and as a result, he noticed that her expression had become much better than before, and she even stopped speaking non-stop now. Seeing she was calm, he continued.
"I will talk to you much more, Isla, in the future because you are special now. So, go back without any worries."
Her nerves calmed down completely as she heard everything he had said to her, and she had already confessed to him before when he had whispered to her earlier, asking if she had a crush on him.
She had answered honestly before, which made her feel even more proud, as things wouldn't have developed to this level if she hadn't been honest earlier in expressing her feelings. Now, listening to him say she was special to him, she realized he must also feel something for her.
'Hehehe, today is the best day of my life.'
So, she answered his words with much more confidence now.
"I will go back now, Aiden." She rubbed her face even more into his hand to express her love, and with a little reluctance, she began to walk back.
When she started to turn around, she finally noticed Alicia right next to him, as while having her loving time with him, she had forgotten about everything other than him.
She could see the irritation on Alicia's face when their eyes met. She had already come to a conclusion when she had seen Aiden patting her sister Ava's head earlier.
'Hehehe, this crazy sister-in-law must have fought with my dear Aiden, how foolish!'
She didn't care much, even if Alicia had fought or not, as the most important thing for her now was that she had also gotten someplace in his heart.
'Hehehe, sooner or later I will take away the title of first wife from you, sister-in-law.'
