Chapter 5: Talk Time |
After a brief moment of sobbing, Anna snuggled deeper into Ace's embrace, And the two of them cuddled like that for a while before they began to speak.
They talked about themselves, The wonders of the royal palace, And their future as a couple. Even though they didn't specifically discuss Ace's confession, Anna's blossoming mood and the way she cuddled closer to him was clear indication of her acceptance of his love. She was just too shy to speak about it.
After a while, Anna left the room to prepare dinner. She was still a maid, after all, And it was her duty to make sure Ace was well-fed. Unbeknownst to her, There had been an unsuccessful assassination attempt the day before, when she was taking sick leave at that. And if she had known, she would have been wracked with guilt.
...
Left with nothing to do until dinner, Ace pondered about his gift, Lustful Absorption, and its future possibilities. He didn't know how to reach the next stage of his ability, But he had a few ideas.
One theory was that accumulating more abilities, perhaps ten abilities or even one hundred of them might help him reach stage one from the current base stage of his ability.
Another possibility was finding support abilities,
Abilities that help you go up stages more easily,
for example, Pathfinder Ability, an ability that can show you your method of going up stages
that could help him better understand and control his gift much more easily.
As he was lost in thought, Anna knocked on his door and entered the room.
Ace removed all his thoughts at the first sight of her beauty and took her into his arms and kissed her gently on the cheeks multiple times. before asking,
"Is dinner ready?"
Anna nodded, her face turning red.
Laughing, Ace tapped her forehead and said, "You're just too cute," before kissing her forehead.
Anna pushed him away forcefully, muttering that his mother and sister were waiting for him in the dining room before running off like a kitten whose tail had been stepped on.
And he just chuckled as he saw that
'how cute'
...
Ace walked slowly to the dining room, going over his plans for the future in his mind. He had many plans for this dinner and the first of which was, To bring his mom and sister completely to his side
He needed to make sure of something.
Talk about important matters with them.
And also speak about that assassination attempt. They had more in-depth knowledge of the royal palace and could be of much help
And he also wanted to see them after this long day, He missed them for some reason, even though he saw them yesterday
After all, So much shit happened today, he needed them to cool his head.
Yes, Ace too loved them as much as Old Harry did, Now there was no Ace and Harry
Both were already one in mind and body.
