Should I try kissing her? Isn't that how they wake up those sleeping beauties in those ti-wasting animations?
It had been a week and Alicia still hadn't woken up. Allison had assured many tis that she wasn't in any sort of danger and her ntal damage was also almost negligent. And that of which it was damaged, I used my soul power over the course of the week to heal it as much as I could.
Yet, she wasn't waking up. It was kind of worrying but all I could do was wait. Her scans were normal and all her body functions didn't indicate a need for surgery.
[Why don't you stop worrying about her and give them a little attention too?]
[Otherwise, you might not make the night]
Ah yes, I had three more girls, looking at as I healed Alicia with yearning. Well, Laura was the most obvious one. I was so glad that none of my girls were 'Tsunderes', I don't think I can handle that type.
If they wanted attention, they would straight up ask for it. I liked that about them. which was why I was going to spend so ti with them. Not in the sense I wanted though. But make them stronger so sothing like this doesn't happen again.
"Training room. Now." I said as I left the room. Since we were back in the imperial palace and I had to receive comndation for my brave act, I didn't go to Bellator and called all the girls here.
All that was left was to train them. By giving them a few things that would help them.
In just five minutes, three girls and a man who looked like he had gone through hell stood in a line. I decided to save the things I would give Alicia later and also spend so ti with her, considering her state.
"Sophien," I began with Sophien which earned a glare from Laura but she didn't say anything. I pulled the rune of fire blessing that I obtained from the very first dungeon I raided in the Bellator dungeon spree.
"Use this, it will help you." I gave it to Sophien who took it and looked at with a raised eyebrow. "Just absorb it like a mana crystal." Since there were no runes, obviously she was puzzled. She followed my instructions and in just a minute, the rune broke down and entered her body through her nose and her body glowed for a mont before it settled down.
"I feel…" She couldn't describe how she was feeling so I chid in, "Being a shadow user, which you soon will be, you are weak to fire. This will grant you so resistance to fire. But not by much so you will still have to learn to deal with it."
She nodded.
Since Laura would get even more pouty if I gave sothing to anyone else first, so I moved on to her. Her face bead as she said, "What do you have for ?"
Cute. She really did look enchanting without the veil. But I guess the veil had its own charm.
I pulled out about a hundred dark mana crystals I had in my inventory and piled them in front of her. She was happy seeing she received a lot more than everyone else. I didn't give all of them to her because she still needed to get used to them. After that, I would give her the armor of despair, along with the skill book and the sword, all of which I also obtained from the undead dungeon in Bellator.
"For now absorb them. Wse the mana to increase your mana pool and the darkness to increase your darkness." I instructed her. She nodded with a smile, picked up the crystals, and left for a corner like I would usually ask them.
"That's fair," Sophien remarked as I had given Laura a lot from the looks of it. Of course, she would be dissatisfied. I chuckled and said, "Wait for a bit. That wasn't the only thing I had."
"You better not have," Sophien said with a glare.
I smiled and moved on to Max. I pulled out the ring of Magic and said, "Here, Max. your problem is your lack of mana. This will help you with that."
Since I didn't have anything else to give Max, I pulled out about a hundred B- mana crystals and handed them over to him which he graciously took with a reply, "I'm honored, my liege."
So cringe.
Anyway, "Absorb them and increase your mana to the peak."
Max was still a C rank which was very low by my standards. I wanted more. So he will have to increase his mana to the peak after which I will help raise his stats and level.
He nodded to my instruction along with another cringe reply and made his way to another corner of the training hall.
Lastly, I moved to Rose who waited patiently for . I smiled and pulled out the agility crystals that I obtained from the lycans. I gave her all the ten S rank agility crystals that would each raise her agility by ten so that was a hundred-point increase in agility. I didn't give her any of the runes because she didn't need them for now.
"Absorb these Rose. You have one hour. After that, we will focus on your mana." She nodded with a smile that honestly enchanted for a second and left for another corner without a reply, happily skipping her feet along the way.
After that, I once again ca to Sophien and said, "It wasn't like I forgot about you. And that wasn't all I had for you."
I pulled out a hundred A rank agility crystals that would increase her agility by two each. "Since you are an assassin type, with your dagger and shadow elent, you would do well with speed. For now, just absorb these. After that, we will focus on other aspects of your training."
She nodded with an attitude and said, "Should have given all of these in front of everyone." Which would have also alleviated her position as equal to the rest of the girls. I guessed she was still worried about that.
"I will do so next ti," I said with a smile. She nodded and left for a corner as well. Since I had booked the training hall, no one would be disturbing them. And since I had about an hour, I had one small errand to run.
Hopefully, both of them were here.

"Ahhh!!!" Wesley threw everything on his desk to the ground. Brittney, who stood in the corner of the room, just let him vent his anger. He was always like this when things didn't go his way so she was used to seeing Wesley like that.
After a while, when he seed to have cald down, she stepped forward and rubbed his back with her hands. Wesley, who was bent down with both his hands on the table, exhaled and inhaled sharply to calm himself.
"We will have another chance soon. So don't worry." Brittney placated him. Wesley sighed and said, "It was my chance to show Father that I was also worthy. This was the only way I could leave my brother behind in this race."
The first crown candidate was the crown prince's favorite so far. There was a good chance after taking the throne, Harvey would appoint his first son as his successor.
That would leave Wesley out. Obviously, he didn't want that. He wanted recognition. The only way to do that was to get rid of the sole hindrance that was in the way of Harvey to the throne.
Getting rid of Adrian was everything Harvey wanted and the one to do that would forever be held by him. As the son of the second wife, the throne was a distant dream to Wesley.
"Father is with you. He will help you as much as he can." Brittney placated Wesley even more, trying to calm him down and keep up hope. Her father, a duke, was one of the five dukes of the Cortum empire. With him on Wesley's side, things weren't too bad for Wesley but the final decision still lay on Harvey, who was not showing any favoritism at the mont but he was more satisfied with his first son.
"Yeah, everything will be all right," Wesley said, a little relieved by Brittney's affectionate strokes.
"Yes, you can trust ," Brittney said with a smile.
"She's wrong, you know." Suddenly they heard a voice. Startled, they both turn around only for a pair of hands to grab both of them by their necks.
As they struggled, they looked into the white eyes of their intruder which seed a little scary to them at the mont.
"Things are just going to get a lot worse for both of you," Adrian said with a devilish smile.
