lightsΝοvεl ƈοm "Don't worry; I don't want you to suddenly throw him away. After all, by now he must have gotten close within your faction, am I right?"
I asked, my tone light, to which the furrowed Angelina replied.
"True, he seems to have a natural charisma around him, one of a leader. People seem to get around him quite easily, and having understood the kind of man you are, I see no reason why you would let him go."
Her reply made me smile as I leaned onto the chair, my eyes leveling with her as I spoke.
"A weapon is only useful if I can use it to hurt my enemy. The moment it starts to harm me, I let go of the weapon."
My words were very simple to understand for someone like Angelina, her eyes narrowing a bit at my words as she responded.
"But the boy looks naive. I think someone like that would have been easy for you to control..."
"Like the current you controlling him?"
My response kept Angelina silent, a light smile filling her face at the question, a mix of sexiness yet quietness as she responded.
"A powerless woman gotta do what she's gotta do."
Her reply made me chuckle a bit as I responded.
"I will make sure to tell that to all the powerless women out there in the world."
My reply just went forth to the smile on Angelina getting bigger as she responded.
"I'm thinking here that you want to make his life miserable?"
Her question prompted me to look out into the window, my eyes gazing at the outside world as Angelina kept going.
"I didn't take you for a man that enjoys bringing others misery, not what you have shown till now."
Her words only brought a wry smile to my face as I asked.
"If there is something out there that can harm or hurt the ones you care about, what would you do about it, Princess Angelina?"
The question of mine got an immediate response from her as she spoke.
"I will try to get rid of that problem any way I can. But what kind of problem can a naive person like him cause you? Someone I am starting to see has more power than he is showing the world? Someone that seems to be playing with the world in his palms?"
This question prompted me to look at Angelina, my eyes seemingly glittering a bit, cause they really were. The situation itself added a mystery layer to me as I spoke.
"You are right. I don't enjoy torturing others, and I have my own code for how I perform. Due to circumstances that I can't tell you, I want that man tortured, so what's your action?"
The final of my defensive words, the light fall in my tone, the sarcasm, and a bit of extreme reaction from my normal interactions with her, all of this being more than enough to point her towards the fact that there lay a very important secret on my path towards Leonardo and it's to that direction that she will look when she enters my dream world.
The small actions like this are to manipulate Angelina to enter that part of my dreamscape, to show her the 'past' and present that I want her to see, cause I will be playing with a lot of narrative then.
"What do you want me to do?"
Angelina finally spoke after staring into my eyes for a few seconds, seeing so I leaned back into the chair, my eyes glancing a bit at the burning incense in the room, before focusing back on Angelina as I spoke.
"I have a plan for him, and I want you to implement it. I also went through the liberty of making it such that this won't cause any problems in your rule."
"I appreciate that~"
Angelina whispered back, in a coquettish tone as I started to speak.
"He must be focusing on missions outward the academy right now, isn't he?"
I asked, to which she nodded her head. Seeing so, I spoke.
"Good, then call him, tell him it's a special mission that you want to do in secret and give him this mission."
Saying so, I gave Angelina a file who finished reading it in a few seconds, her eyes filled with questions as she asked.
"This is pretty much standard stuff. Why do you want to send him here?"
"Because it's my wish."
I dodged the question as I responded.
"Tell him a relic lays at the end of this journey, there are two of them. Tell it's very important and secretive, that you need it at the earliest. You can pay him generously for it too."
"What does the relic do?"
Angelina asked me again with a desiring look, her tail swaggering around, her moving around in the chair a bit that her assets giggled suggestively while, a sexy smirk lit her face, thankfully this time she ain't going forth to use her powers thus I responded.
"The first relic will make sure that you never have bad breath, while the second one boosts up your digestive tract."
This serene reply of mine took Angelina aback and she responded with a smirk.
"Humph!... fine, don't tell me."
'But I am not lying...'
If she had just activated her eyes then, she would have known that I wasn't lying at all, cause it's the truth. And as to why I want Leonardo to go there, well, let's just say that if you were to take your character to that trial place without knowing the basic playthrough there, then there is a high chance your character won't walk out the same way he walked in.
The thing about that place is that it's a very nasty place, there was the announcement from the producers of the game that it's a gag area, a small game layer that is designed for making one of the players add in a sense of dark humor to the same, hence if you enter that place without knowing how to move around, there is only one thing that's gonna happen, you're gonna get rapped.
And it won't be a normal one, while I shudder to even ask the information about who made that place, the thing is that with one wrong step, one specific pattern you follow in the place, then you or the player will end up being fallen into a room filled with specially trained special slimes, and let's just say unless you have the strength of an Origin level 10, the slimes ain't dying and 'drying' away until they finish the task they were trained to do.
'Urgh... I think I still have some PTSD from that scene...'
The thing about that place is that the one who created it hates the 11 heroes, so if you walk in there with Durandal, then all you will be asking for is not walking out of that place the same way you walked in.
'Though knowing that bastard's luck something might change.'
This is a big test for me; I haven't actively tried to pressure or hurt Leonardo because a fate of extreme luck wraps around that guy, especially relating to women. This guy right now is already good friends with some powerful women from Angelina's faction, like the daughter of a Duchess from the Vampire side, a special demon tribe girl, a powerful demon spear user that seems to hate Grisl but is now good friends with him.
It's not a love-like relationship, just pure old good friendship and that's only thanks to my inner agent doing his work, and that guy is basically dying doing that work. He says that girls are somehow becoming more and more attracted to him, especially powerful ones and it all happens from some sort of coincidence around Leonardo.
This only points to the fact that due to even now him not getting any of the more 'powerful' girls, the fate around him is wrapping to get at least some high-level beauties to his side, this is with me being passive and not trying to fully hurt the guy, god knows what will happen if I go full throttle, thus I have kept things at bay.
'But I can no longer play passive.'
I wanted to slowly test the limits of fate around these so-called chosen players but right now the other two are waking up and coming close, so I need to get my experiments closer. Until now, from all my tests, I have come to gain some layers of what I can touch and cannot, thus my next move with Angelina will be my special last one.
'And after that, I can put the real plan into action.'
Leonardo has barely seen any hell, the true hell for him has yet to begin. I have barely started to show my cards, and right now I am holding a very good combination, the moment I really start to make a move, things would change to pure hell for the one I have designated.
