"Well, before we continue with our conversation, your mother is still here, right?"
"I an, she didn’t suddenly have any other business and went away, right?"
At his words, Selena, who had actually already made a difficult decision after she pondered on her own yesterday, seed to have her mood suddenly ruined as she asked. "You didn’t co today for ... did you?"
"No, I didn’t." Noel, with a smile on his, replied, as if it was a matter of fact.
Then, as if fearing, his point, was has still not got to her, he clarified.
"I wanted to see Clarissa, and a long the way, I thought that I could et you, and finish what ever we have."
Selena bit her lip at his words, in her mind, many thoughts going.
But, one of them stood out.
’Now, he is even brazenly saying Clarissa instead of mother in law.’
Unlike his passionate attitude of yesterday, the calm Noel of today, felt more similar to the him, before he lost his mories, despite the different in approach he was taking, and Selena found it hard, to how she should deal with.
Still, she asked, "What about your words of yesterday?"
’How about you delay everything burning in that beautiful mind of yours until tomorrow? After I sort through everything weighing on mine, we can have a proper conversation.’ That was what Noel sweetly said back then.
But, apparently, Selena simply rembered the first part, talking about the date being today now, than the second part, where he said, he would sort everything weighing on his mind.
"Hmm, look Selena. Please don’t play the sa ga as Lilith."
"You are more mature than that... or, am I wrong?"
Noel, paused for a mont, and seeing Selena didn’t say anything, he sighed, before he continued on his own.
"Don’t try to force my hands like this. Because at the end of the day, keeping my word? That’s sothing I decide when to do. Not you."
"But, just so you know, then, yes I did plan, to have a conversation... a proper one with you, regardless of my main propose of coming today."
"So, if you have sothing in your mind, then, say it, I’m listening."
Selena’s breasts, heaved up and down, along with her breath, her tumultuous emotion clearly visible.
At his words, she stayed silent for a mont, before she gritted her teeth and said, "I lost the desire to talk about anything today, so, just go fucking et mother."
To Selena, she wanted herself to be everything filling Noel’s mind, and his words, had put out her enthusiam... that maybe, she can finally have a normal relationship with him.
She had already made a big concession, and planned to accept that she may be not the only to Noel.
So, his attitude at this particular mont, didn’t co nicely to her.
And that’s only worsened, when she saw, how he actually stood, and said, "Then, I will be on my own."
Noel calmly walked toward the door, having not intention to linger at this mont, when sothing else was occupying his mind, and Selena, bit her lip and glared at his back, having not thought, that he would really go this easily.
Should she try to stop him?
She wondered, but, in the an ti, Noel had already went out of the room, and found the sa attendant that led him to Clarissa the last ti, and asked her to do the sa today.
Today’s eting didn’t happen in the throne room, like yesterday, but, instead in the sa room, he talked with Clarissa after.
And not minding that either way, Noel, smiled as he looked at Clarissa, and greeted her with familiarity.
Just not the sa intimate extent as yesterday, but more serious.
Clarissa noticed that, and amused at what could he has now in his mind, after not even twenty four hours, from the last eting had passed, asked, "Okay, what do you have today, to tell ?"
At her direct question, Noel smiled, clapping his palms softly and leaning forward slightly, before he said, "If yesterday, I ca as the son in law of the Everen house... then, today, I ca a possible business partner."
"I have a deal... do you care to hear it?"
Clarissa smiled imperceptibly, as said, "If it’s just hearing, then, talk, I at least don’t mind listening."
Noel’s smile deepened at her attiude, before he said, "It’s an Apex Relic..."
He didn’t beat around the bush, before he asked, "Do you want one?"
Clarissa’s gaze beca more heavy at his words, she put one leg above an other, empathizing her thick thigh through the slit of her dress seductively.
She stayed silent for a mont, looking at Noel, aningfully, before she finally asked, "There’s no one not intrested in an apex relic... but."
"First tell , what’s the story of the said apex relic."
At her intrest, Noel,’s grinned, as he said, "You don’t have to worry, it’s an ownerless relic... just, it’s inside a dinsion that has already been discovered."
"What kind of dinsion its inside? Where is the dinsion? And who does the dinsion belong to?"
Clarissa asked a series of question this ti, and without skipping a beat, Noel explained.
"You don’t have to worry, it’s an ordinary dinsion, not the special ones like the trial or Inhetince one... and neither is the dangerous type, where it’s polluted by one kind of Law."
"It’s simply an ordinary dinsion, with so weak natives inside."
Dinsions... does they always co with a special tag?
Inheritance? Tria? Or whatever else?
No, there’s no need for that, it could simply be a world shard, that drifted from where it once was.
A world shard, that still even has so people that survived and lives in.
There’s space, there’s ground, sky, building, greenary, and whatever could be found generally... as simple as that.
Even then, they could always have so special inside... after all, it’s a world that was destroyed.
So, how it was destroyed? The kind of power that enabled that... everyone interested in that.
Though, even if they didn’t find that, there could still be resources worth taking inside or the dinsion itself.
Moving on though, Noel, continued as there was still other answer.
"And the dinsion is inside China, so, you don’t have to worry, as there’s no one strong enough there, that could threaten you."
"But, there are still strong groups there... so, who does the dinsion belong to?" Clarissa interrupted him, and asked.
And Noel, replied concisely, "It’s the Li Clan, and the dinsion is still not under them completely, so, you really don’t have to worry."
In the hidden society, or like in the world currently, no one bothered about the mundane world, the governnts, the groups there, everything going on the surface.
No one cares about them.
After all, they are useless for them, the Awakends.
The resource in the surface world are also so scarce, that no one strong enough would care about it.
If there’s sothing that matter, then, it’s simply the dinsions... that world shard, that fall into this world every so often.
But, Li clan was different.
One of the very rare groups, who still tried to control the ordinary people.
Why? To feel more suprior?
Noel, couldn’t be sure... but, he didn’t care either way.
........
After telling Clarissa the identity of the current group holding so semblance of authority over the dinsion the apex relic is inside.
Noel elaborated, explaining how the dinsion is still not under the firm grip of the Li clan, and so fights are happening between them and other groups for the ownership of the dinsion, then according to his information, they should still have not found out about the Apex relic there.
With how convenient the situation was, there was really no reason for Clarissa to refuse... Noel, thought.
"Okay, and what’s in it for you? You are saying it’s a deal, so, there’s sothing you want, and it can’t be the apex relic... so, what do you want?" Clarissa asked.
Arriving at this point, Noel, was confident, that Clarissa has accepted his offer, and so exhaling softly in relief, he said, "It’s one favor."
"Or, to elaborate further, there’s one person I’m going to poach from the Ravelli house, and I want you to back up at that mont."
Clarissa raised her eyebrow, a little intrigued about the person Noel would want to poach, but, knowing she would find that out later, she didn’t prey further and instead asked another question, "It’s can’t be only this, so, what else do you want?"
"Everything else," with a gleam in his eyes, Noel said.
"I want everything else in the dinsion, and even the dinsion itself... and if you feel a little generous, then, a little montary compensation, as I need so money for my coming plans."
’That’s more like it.’ Clarissa thought, as she nodded.
After all.
