He looked at her, and then he decided to have some fun first. "Sure, let's go inside. Is the mansion built yet?" he asked before remembering something. He turned to Sara as he added, "don't venture out today."
"I need rest."
"We all deserve one."
He then walked towards the depth of his city. It was the first time since his departure to get the mine and population to walk inside this place.
"You did a great job, many buildings are almost over," he commended with a sincere tone.
"Thanks, we had time to build all these, yet our main priority was to finish the walls and various defenses first."
"That isn't needed anymore," he simply replied, before adding, "the walls and towers are now handed over to me."
"Is it because of the pillars?"
"You can say that," he replied without delving deeper into the topic. The last incident had made him quite vigilant towards telling others his deep secrets. 'I don't know if that man planted some spies in my people or not,' he thought to himself while feeling annoyed with such thought.
Many things happened that needed his attention, yet so far he needed first to vent off some stress and clear his mind. During the remainder of his walk, he remained silent. He enjoyed the city and Amelia was only shy and embarrassed.
She wasn't a kid, or a pure hearted person of this world. She had a clue or two about what Arthur wanted from her, and she didn't mind that.
In fact she felt some joy for being the first woman he sat his gaze upon, hoping to be his last too.
Despite believing otherwise. 'Such a man is destined to be surrounded with many beauties,' she said to herself before she glanced at herself without him noticing that. 'I'm not that bad, I should be enough for him… for now,' she said to herself.
As for Arthur, he was thinking about what he learnt from the last fight. 'So this dragonair's ability was given to me by the dark side, and supported by the light side. It seemed this war is much more complicated and deep than I initially thought, sigh,' he said to himself before thinking about another matter.
'My soul isn't my old one, tsk that's a really annoying thing,' he shook his head while trying to accept this fact. When he compared this life with the life he had once lived, he found many similarities and contradictions.
'I never was so caring to others, I have to admit that,' this was the most contradictory issue he found, alongside his interest in building up his empire and raising it above all.
'I never cared this much about my sector, only cared about what they can do to me,' he recalled many incidents where he decided to abandon some of his disciples for his own benefits. 'Was I right? Am I wrong now?' he was puzzled, yet he knew even if he decided to be a cold one, his soul and heart wouldn't allow him to be.
"Tsk, that Willy,' he was helpless, as it seemed this compassion and love for others came from Willy. 'Why didn't I appear in the soul of a strong cold person?'
His train of thoughts was stopped when they arrived at the mansion. "It's partially completed," he muttered as one third of it was completely built, while the other two were halfway through.
"We would finish it in a week or two maximum," she said before pointing towards the finished part, "there lies a dozen rooms in the upper three floors, and a gigantic meeting room in the basement."
"Let's head to the upper floors then," he said before he put his arm around her waist, "Let's have some fun today," he added before taking her inside the mansion.
'At least we both shared the love of beauties, hehehe,' he inwardly laughed as he watched the devastated naked beauty sleeping like an angel next to him. 'This was refreshing,' he thought before glancing over the window of this room to the outside dying sun of the day.
'I have to see Olor,' he thought before closing up his eyes and entering into his garden.
His soul was now feeling much more energetic than before. Most of the worries and stress he had were gone by now. "Having beauties is such a magic blessing," he chuckled while glancing over the giant beauty hiding inside her cocoon. "To later then," he said before moving towards a different direction.
He appeared just beside his tree, this giant one he had acquired from Olor. "This can replace bird's wings, for a safer way to contact other hidden agents of me," he had this thought after sleeping with Amelia, about creating more agents in the dark side like Olor.
"I can't stress over this or else I might screw things up," he shook his head, knowing he had to wait for his chances, not chasing after them.
He then went to the tree and stood there not knowing what to do. "Which one was connected to Olor?" he softly muttered and the next moment the tree shook as one branch descended with a mirror towards him.
"Wow, it's voice activated, that's something," he laughed before the mirror appeared in front of him. It showed nothing, and he didn't know what to do.
"Olor, are you there?" he shouted at the mirror, like calling over Olor from a distance. Yet nothing happened. "should I hit it or something?" he thought before knocking on its surface like he was knocking on a door.
This did something to the surface of the mirror as it stirred up showing minute waves. This kept happening in slow rhythm until it suddenly calmed down again. "Should I hit it harder?" he muttered.
Just before his fist reached the mirror, its surface changed showed a familiar face in front of him. "Hi Willy, I'm glad to see you alright," Olor said the moment he saw Arthur's face in front of him.
"Did you know about this attack?" Arthur was reminded of this and instantly he was angry at Olor.
"I just learnt after returning to the clan. That crazy dude went on his own accord to attack you trying to redeem his honor."
"That's the case then," Arthur muttered before stressing on this issue, "if anything major happened again you must inform me with it."
"I will make sure to do that."
Olor seemed quite hesitant about something before he said, "There are rumors regarding the clans nearby you."
"Those you told me about? What are these rumors?"
"They are gathering up a large army to hit you again, plus…" Olor seemed hesitated more. "Just speak up your mind," Arthur demanded.
"There is another rumor circulating from the big clans. They said they will send someone to the other world to make your trial end sooner than it was planned to be."
Arthur already had this tip, so he wasn't fazed by it. "And?" he calmly asked.
"And you want to make me the wedge to destroy the dark clans. Frankly I can't do it with you off the picture," he finally said what bothered him, and that made Arthur laugh.
"You are afraid?"
"I… I should be. They are stronger and don't show mercy to anyone! That one you framed is now about to get a strong hit from them, and he is one of the biggest clans here."
Olor's tone was rushed with his anxiety, yet Arthur just smiled back. "Don't worry yourself, I will find a way to be always here," he said, without delving into details.
"Really? How?"
"That's my own business. You need to start doing your part of the deal," Arthur said before adding, "I need intel about many things, all the info you can gather send it to me here."
"Like what?" Olor seemed to believe what Arthur just claimed, so he was still nervous.
"Like statues of dragonairs scattered around this world."
"How… how did you know that so fast?" Olor seemed quite astonished before his mind provided him the answer, "you found the sacred cave? What a lucky kid you are!"
"This kid here is your master, so be more respectful here," Arthur wasn't offended but he said teasing him. "Tell me, what do you know about these statues? Tell me everything!"
