Visit to Arda Kingdom

Sun rose high in the skies but a beautiful girl who became a woman last night was still sleeping peacefully on Noah's chest.

"mmhm" Seraphina slowly woke up from her sleep.

"Good morning!" Noah greeted her with a bright smile.

"Mhmm~" Seraphina kissed him as she pressed her soft breasts against his chest.

Noah didn't reject and accepted her kiss with the same passion.

Her mood was much better now, though she lost someone, she also gained someone to fill the void in her heart.

Her eyes were brimming with love and affection.

Seraphina remembered how crazy and wild she was last night and her face turned entirely red thinking about the passionate night.

Soon the kiss broke and a thin line of saliva connected their mouths, her eyes blazed with lust but she can feel she was still sore down there and had no confidence in holding long enough for Noah to be satisfied.

Noah could guess what was going on in her mind, so he spoke first, bringing her back to reality.

"Don't think too much Sera! Anyways, I don't think you heard about Empress Mary's assassination attempt"

"W-what?" She stuttered in disbelieve.

"Haha" Noah chuckled and kissed her nose as he sat on the bed bringing Seraphina on his lap.

Seraphina turned as red a tomato when she felt the big thing between her butt crack, 'How is it still so big even though it is limp.' Seraphina thought since last night she never got a view of Noah's dragon in its non-evolved form.

Noah chuckled again and kissed her cheeks as he told her about the slave items and how Adam used a similar one on Ares.

He also told her about the backlash that Mary had to go through.

Noah didn't mind telling her about his powers since he has already shown Seraphina that he is strong.

Seraphina's expression turned to disgust from the actions of her elder half-brother and Mary but she was also surprised about Noah's powers.

She felt like she was just a frog in a well, and unbeknown to her, a seed to become strong enough to support her man the best she can form in her heart.

Though she was 18 and a C-rank practitioner, with excellent battle prowess, when she compared herself to the unbelievable feats of Noah she felt like she was nothing in the grand scheme of things.

Noah was unaware of the changes in her heart, he has tried many times to have a [Immortal] partner but they all failed to attain [Immortality]. Sharing [Immortality] is not a thing, it depends on the talents and abilities of a person.

So for many years, Noah has been reincarnating in different worlds having fun and then eventually leaving that world.

Sometimes he roamed around in 'Exiled Prison Realms', It is no less than an adventure park full of exciting and new things, every few thousand years it will change a lot due to the combined efforts of many [Immortals] who are busy pursuing their own goals.

Sometimes, he would visit an advanced civilization and spend his entire time gaming.

But he has lost all hopes of having [Immortal] partner long ago.

"I'll have to go now, there should be some interesting things happening in the palace today," Noah said as he displayed a small smile and got up from the bed while putting Seraphina on the bed.

"Okay" she nodded "Visit me when you are free darling~" she showed a seductive smile as she lightly licked her lips.

She has already accepted her true self and her hidden desires, there was no need to pretend like a noble at least in front of the man she chose herself.

Before vanishing into thin air, a voice full of wisdom resounded into Seraphina's ears.

"I am Fire, Fire is me"

Seraphina's base element was [Fire] so Noah left some hints for her progression, especially when she has all the free time in the world to practice, as a hostage with the freedom to cultivate and improve her techniques she can increase her cultivation rapidly.

Noah also left a storage ring full of mana crystals on one of her fingers.

Unbeknown to Noah, this hint was more than enough for Seraphina to set up her own path to attain [Immortality] just like Valentina, who has already set up one foot in that direction and making rapid progress, and Ares, who is following her mother's footsteps.

.....

Noah appeared in his room, quickly dressed up, and sat on the couch in his room waiting for a certain someone...

*knock!* *Knock!*

"Brother! Brother! Open up!"

Noah got up and opened the door to see his twin sister.

Her face was full of worry, she learned about the 'assassination attempt' in the morning and immediately rushed to see whether her beloved brother was okay or not.

When she saw his Handsome face and godlike physique, she first heaved a sigh of relief then a small blush appeared on her face and small pink hearts formed in her red eyes as she felt Noah's emotions for her which was filled with love and care.

Noah saw this and again felt very curious about her recent weird behavior, he snapped his fingers and Ares quickly broke out of her reverie.

She hugged him tightly and cried softly on his chest as she murmured between her sniffs.

"Sniff.. sniff... Father is planning to... sniff... send you and ..Luke... sniff...to Arda and Racada kingdoms..sniff...to deal with the possible...sniff..rebellion"

Noah gently stroked her exotic pink hair and thought, 'As expected of the Emperor, send your own blood in danger to gain trust and then negotiate...hmmm.'

"Don't worry Ares, nothing will happen to me...hmm...you can come with me if you wish to," Noah replied as he reassured her.

"Really?" Ares tilted her head cutely as her eyes sparkled

As Noah saw her eyes that were clear and not a single drop of tear was there, he acted as if 'he didn't notice Ares not crying at all and trying her best to somehow accompany him to Arda kingdom'.

Noah waited for the official message to arrive as he sat on the couch of his bedroom and let Ares sit on his lap and hug him as he stroked her hair tenderly.

He was still curious about the recent weird behavior of Ares, who was showing her affection publicly and was not at all afraid of being in a relationship that she considered forbidden earlier.

Noah purposefully made her jealous from time to time so that she accepts her feelings naturally, dropping such useless notions, but even then, it only increased her possessiveness and he knew that Ares was still conscious of what Noah will think if he knows about her forbidden feelings.

But-

Now, all of a sudden, she is not conscious at all and even showing her affection openly.

"Ares, is something wrong? Something or someone troubling you?" Noah asked.

Ares's body stiffened, her eyes showed hesitation and her heart started beating rapidly as if a thief was caught red-handed.

Noah didn't miss these slight changes and asked again, "You know you can talk to me about anything if someone or something is troubling you"

"I care for you Ares and if there is something I can do to help you, I will do it regardless of the cost"

Ares could feel that Noah was sincere but she still couldn't reveal that she could feel his emotions somehow...through an unexplainable connection...

She bit her lips softly as if trying to come to a decision,

Soon her eyes were full of determination, she started speaking... "b-brother, I can-"

But-

Before she could continue, doors of the room opened and Valentina entered,

As soon as she saw Ares sitting on Noah's lap as Noah stroked her hair, a mysterious glint flashed in Valentina's eyes.

"Uhm" With a light cough she interrupted the twins and said,

"Since Ares is here, you must have already heard about your 'pending' visit to the Arda Kingdom?" Valentina said in a sarcastic tone, her hate for the Emperor leaking through her ice-cold blue eyes.

Ares's determination waivered, thinking about the shame their relationship may bring to Valentina.

Noah just put her little head on his chest forcefully to let her know that he was there for her.

Ares relaxed visibly but Valentina's eyebrows slightly....slightly...twitched which Noah didn't notice since he was focused more on the recent changes in Ares.

"Yes mother," Noah said as he got from the couch but Ares didn't let him go and wrapped her legs around his waist and her arms around his neck as she buried her head in his chest, too embarrassed to show her red blushing face to her mother.

Seeing the intimacy between her children who were adults, her usual cold expression was about to break but she controlled herself.

"Ares told me about it, and she will be going with me," Noah said.

"Noah, I hope you know what you are doing...Sigh~.. Ares is a lost cause..." Valentina sighed slightly and subtly reminded Noah that such relationships have no future unless your words are absolute.

She knew that Noah was intelligent enough to play politics and he knew about the 'art of words', so she was sure Noah would notice her reminder of not going too far...

Noah showed a small smile, he knew someone as sharp as Valentina must have realized about Ares's feelings by now, "Don't worry mother, I know what I am doing. By the way, I am sure-"

Before Noah could say anything Valentina added nonchalantly as if it was the most obvious thing in the world, "Yes, I am going with you"

Noah didn't say anything else as he leaned forward quickly and kissed Valentina...

...on her cheeks.

Valentina would have kicked Noah in the guts but her beloved daughter was sticking to him like a koala so she could only stomp on his foot.

"Ow..ow..ouch..ok! ok sorry!" Noah apologized 'sincerely' with his most 'honest expression' from his 'book of expression' that can fool even a dead person to believe they are alive.
