The Problems of Credia

Arriving towards a small, empty field in the middle of the Saigia forest, Christopher was smiling with excitement, waiting patiently for something to happen in there.

His blood-red eyes were fixed on the field, ignoring the trail of red ice he left behind himself that already started quickly melting for some unknown reason.

The Blood-red moon was glowing brightly, illuminating his beautiful face and black suit together with the trees and other plants of the Saigia forest.

Despite his cold, almost dead-like appearance, the air was pretty warm and the late-night breeze was playing with his short white hair.

Not too long after, maybe around thirty seconds later, the Goddess in the black leather dress arrived too with a speed matching a sound.

"Something happened, Lord Salvatore? " she asked after a few seconds of silently watching him with genuine interest and approached him with slow, elegant steps, worthy of a Milf-looking Goddess.

"Waiting for a show... and call me Christopher, please. You are not my subordinate nor my slave to call me Lord," he said and pointed the palm of his hand towards the ground next to him which caused an immediate release of his shadow powers, forming a black luxurious throne in seconds.

Sitting down right after the throne was made and resting his head on his hand, he looked at the Goddess and asked her with a genuine smile:

"Wanna join the fun? "

"I-I don't know... it's pretty late and I should probably return back home," spoke the Empress with signs of sadness in her voice which Christopher clearly saw.

She didn't want to be separated from him yet but at the same time, she was an Empress you know.

She can't leave her entire divine domain unchecked for too long. What if someone attacks her people while she is enjoying the fresh air outside her Empire with this really handsome man? She would be painted forever as an Empress who betrayed her own people for him, no matter how hard she tried to explain it.

As always, people will choose their own truth to follow and their experience before the real truth of others and their experiences that could have saved them many troubles.

Well, climbing up is always harder then falling down...

Hearing this, Christopher's excited expression disappeared.

He facepalmed and became bored just from hearing those words coming from a woman who is almost older than the entire planet she is living on...

"Geeez chill woman and don't be a drama queen. You'll return soon enough and nothing will happen to your Empire," he rolled his eyes.

"Plus as you said before, time here acts different. One day here in my territory is what? A minute in your Empire? " he asked with a neutral voice but still little interest. This time dimensions and differences were sometimes really confusing for him.

"Something like that. Time in my home is almost the same as on Earth. More correctly, same as that in the Egyptian pantheon," the Empress replayed while tucking her hair behind her ear, showing her enormous chest again that became somehow wet.

Christopher was wondering why is her body acting like she was in the middle of the Sahara desert and using his special vision, he found the reason pretty quickly.

'Heh... my Ice huh. But, is she too shy to ask for it or too embraced to let me see it? That's a question I'll probably never find out...'

'But what did she say before... Greek Gods? Hmm...' he thought but decided to not delve into it anymore and continued in their chat while remembering this little but very important information.

"See, so I don't know why are you so tense... Your Empire will not disappear after one minute, right? "

Christopher placed his finger on his chin, looking like he started thinking about something, and after a few seconds said:

"Be like me~... I don't fear about my kingdom since the start of our walk because, I know I can trust my people. They are sometimes competent but not to the point of destroying something or upsetting me."

He stopped with the thinking gesture and leaned deeper into his throne.

Relaxing with closed eyes while flashing a small and peaceful smile, he more looked like he was not in the middle of a big and dangerous forest but rather on a sunny and peaceful beach with his friends.

"Heh, looks like you trust your subordinates more than I do," the Goddess said with a slight smile, surprised a little because of the wise honesty coming from this young Lord.

'No wonder he became a Lord. With just these small talks we had, I can see he is even wiser than Cravensworth himself. A man who was considered a genius by my people but was cursed with arachnophobia...'

'A sad story indeed. Rest In Piece my friend,' the Goddess thought.

She knew what happened from Christopher who even provided her with the Raziel's sword that had the soul of Stefan Cravensworth still inside.

When she asked where he got it from, he calmly explained that he took it from Rox.

After that, when he understood her and Stefan's relationship more deeply, he tried to give it to her but she didn't want it so it remained with him.

While the Empress was deep in thought, Christopher replayed to her:

"Obviously, if I didn't trust them, I wouldn't choose them as my subordinates. Trust is the key."

Saying that while opening his eyes, he looked deeply into the Goddess' Emerald-green eyes and added with honesty:

"The next one is fear, but trust brings more benefit. Other is power, but power only is not enough though."

"But if you mix your power with trust, loyalty and respect are born. With these two weapons, you'll be pictured as a good Queen or Empress wherever you want~"

Leaning back into his throne and closing his eyes again as if nothing could affect him, he added before the Empress could speak her question:

"Fear is bad because, after all, some individuals can overcome the fear and cause trouble in the future."

'How did he... Hmm is he a Psyche? ' she wondered.

"With fear but no loyalty, motivations, or goals, you'll be practically ruling over a bunch of lifeless zombies who will do everything for you but without happiness or anything in return."

"Most of them may run away or at least try it while others may try plotting against you because of the same fear you'll inject into their very beings."

"What's the worst is that the fear coming from you and your powers can turn into fear for their own lives which means they can snap every next second like time-bombs and do anything to make their lives safe again while yours will turn into a living hell."

Opening his eyes and looking at the face of the shocked Goddess again, he smiled gently and added:

"In extreme cases, they can try to kill you. After all, you are the person from whom this fear came."

"Killing you is their solution number one. They will not care about future possible problems that might your death bring."

"Therefore, I chose loyalty before fear. It's safer and you gain more~."

With this slight explanation, he went back to waiting for the show that was about to happen while relaxing on his dark throne from which, sips of Darkness were escaping as his eyes wandered around the field impatiently.

'She should be here already... or not? Am I here too soon? ' he thought and looked around but feeling no one except the Goddess and him, his eyes narrowed for a brief second.

Then, he regained his previous, neutral expression and decided to wait a few minutes more... just in case.

After a few seconds of silence in which the little terrified Goddess absorbed everything Christopher said while he was in his own world, she finally spoke up.

"I see... For someone of your age, your mindset is really good. The people in your age mainly think about sex and girls hehe... don't they? " the Empress spoke with a slight, awkward smile while thinking:

'Fuck I'm losing it! Why does it sound different in my head than when I said it? '

'B-But... not that he's hot, he even knows how to use his brain correctly too! I like him... I want him... I NEED HIM BY MY SIDE! '

'Hell, why do I feel so desperate for his attention when no one is here?! Just look at me my darling please... Look at me! '

But the Goddess' wishes were unfulfilled.

Christopher simply 'ignored her' and was fixing his gaze on the field as much as he could.

The beauty of the woman was slowly killing him, making him slightly aroused each time he looked at her so he was checking her just with his senses and Ardelean's eyes.

That shadow didn't care one bit about being aroused. He wouldn't miss this chance to watch the most beautiful woman in Aragos unseen, well almost unseen.

'Fuck, begging is useless... he is ignoring me again! If I just had a chance to somehow kidnap him and lock him up then I could... Fuck no! What am I thinking! '

The Goddess' heart was beating like crazy while her mind, together with her instincts was screaming at her to jump on top of him and use him right now and there.

But she knew it wouldn't be as easy as it looks like. Just from their previous encounter, she could feel he was not alone, never, and that he was definitely NOT weak.

And even now, that someone is still with him... probably alerting him when necessary.

The Goddess was really desperate. On one side, she wanted to kidnap Christopher and lock him forever in her secret chambers like she did with every man from her harem but at the same time, she could feel he was different.

Not only that he's ignoring her pretty easily despite using her charm slightly, but he's not weak like her husbands either.

'This is complicating! FUCK!!! Why he needs to be so strong? Why he can't just be weak...'

'With that, I would already be on top of him, using him the entire month without a pause~' she thought.

Christopher, who started watching the Goddess' face a few seconds ago wore an amused expression while looking at her with his eyes glowing in a possessive blood-red color.

'She is really thirsty... What a bad woman...' he thought with a chuckle at the end. From just watching her, he could smell her arousal all around him and focus on him, enveloping him as if it were alive.

'This is awkward, I need to say something but what?! I can't focus when he's looking at me like he wants to devour my whole being! '

A red warning icon started buzzing and glowing in the Goddess's head, informing her about her overdrive...

'Fuck it! ' the Goddess spoke in her mind as her charm started acting.

Focusing on her minor divinity, and a blessing she received from her ancient friend, a Goddess related to sex and love, the Empress let the charm act.

Ten seconds, twenty, thirty seconds passed but nothing was happening.

Christopher still wore his gentle smile and instead of jumping on her, he was sitting on his throne, pretty relaxed.

'WHY IS IT NOT WORKING?! ' the Goddess thought.

'So she likes control, huh...' Christopher thought.

It's worth mentioning that, when Christopher felt he started being under the influence of a love charm, he formed a brilliant idea in his head.

He froze his brain!

Not entirely but only to protect it from the charm the Goddess was using on him. Because of that, his eyes glowed blood-red.

'My Lord are you sure... Using the ice to freeze your brain can kill you,' Nicolle started being scared a little.

'Don't worry Nicolle... It's made from my blood... I can melt it whenever I want.'

'Plus I'm not freezing my brain completely, just making a barrier around it. That's a difference,' he wouldn't be so stupid as to freeze his brain and then melt it without training the technique first.

While Christopher was talking through his thoughts with Nicolle, a fight between the Goddess's own thoughts versus her burning desires towards Christopher began.

She was trying her best to hold back while continuing in conversation with him:

"Ahm... I-I... I meant that, after what you just said, you look like a wise person Ch-Christopher. When I met someone in your age, he was acting more like a sex demon than a person..."

She said while adjusting her leather dress a little, making her two, wet mountains jiggle which sent jolts of unknown electricity through her entire body.

"Ahnn~" she moaned unconsciously.

'What was that?!~' she was genuinely confused. It was as if someone purposely touched her erogenous zones.

But thinking it was probably a coincidence, she continued.

"I... I'll probably dump a few subordinates from my Empire because of the advice you now gave me," she said with a more serious tone, trying to control herself again while changing the subject a little.

"Why? " Christopher asked with a mischievous smile as he controlled the power of his blood-ice again, making the Goddess shake from the pleasure.

'Ahnn~ FUCK! ' the Goddess thought, feeling a wave of an unknown pleasure through her body.

"I-I-I-" The Goddess was on the verge of her nerves as she took a deep breath.

*Sigh, "I don't fully trust them," she replied while trying to hold her desires checked.

"There is just always something preventing me from trusting them on the level I want to. My senses are always right but sometimes... I think I'm just paranoid."

After a few seconds of silence, she added:

"Hell, I'm so paranoid, that before anyone enters my Palace, they are triple-checked for any hidden weapon or forbidden object hahaha~."

Changing the subject and continuing talking helped her a little but just a little to calm her feelings down.

"I don't think so..." Christopher suddenly spoke after a few minutes of observing the horny milf on his left while thinking deeply about his next words.

Changing his expression to a serious one, he understood that what is he about to say could cause a total catastrophe or save an entire Credia Empire...

"If you want to cast out someone or not fully trusting them then it's not your fault, you're just being careful to not regret your decisions in the future."

Christopher's mesmerizing smile he flashed at her at the end of his sentence caused her feelings, which were almost back under her control, to turbulent again.

'!!! OH MY GOD, you piece of shit! Oh... I'm sorry darling... But why are you so beautiful and still not MINE!!! I'm going insane...'

While the Goddess was fighting her thoughts again, Christopher had a small talk with Ardelean.

'She must have been betrayed in the past a few times for acting like this, huh...' Christopher spoke his honest thoughts.

From the small revelations the Goddess already gave him, he can clearly see that she must have been many times betrayed to become this paranoid.

For an old Goddess like her, it was pretty obvious she would be but still... she was too paranoid.

'What just happened to you when you became... this,' he added.

["Probably assassination? "] Ardelean suggested in a serious tone. He likes the Goddess and just thinking about someone wanting to hurt her made his dark black blood boil.

'A failed one... but what happened then? The Assassin probably escaped... or is he still in the Empire? Waiting for a good moment to strike? '

["Yeah, thank God that he failed! If he would succeed, how would you make her yours then?! "]

'Huh? What are you talking about? ' Christopher narrowed his eyes.

'We're just friends and that's all. I don't want her... she is too pretty for me with that irritating charm of hers plus she is not the type I like! '

'A crazy obsessive type that will cut off your balls if you look at another girl~...'

'That's the type I like and she is definitely not that type. She's just not the loving, gentle, psychopathic girl I would love.'

'Yes, she has this aura of fear and power around her but that's all... Nothing more and nothing else.' Christopher explained while still having his eyes fixed on the horny Goddess.

Biting her lower lip while looking at her opening and closing hands, she looked quite cute actually.

["Sometimes, I really don't understand you Chris..."] Ardelean suddenly said.

'Heh, you'll never understand me if you're not crazy enough my friend~. I am the Chaos itself~...'

["Hah, well whatever you say, now, back to the subject."] Ardelean said and added with narrowed eyes:

["Wait a minute... Now that you mentioned that thing with the fear... I don't quite remember her being a Goddess feared by others like she's now."]

["Yeah, she was fearsome but not in the way she is now. Christopher, she may look like a cute Goddess but don't let your eyes fool you! "] Ardelean quickly remained him the main rule of the Supernatural world.

Never trust your eyes, only your senses. Eyes will deceive you, senses not.

'Yeah, YOU are now saying this? '

'You, who would a few minutes ago fuck her for months without stopping? '

'What? Scared to not lose your balls? Hahaha~ Where is your horniness now huh? ' Christopher chuckled.

'But to answer, I never let my guard down like someone... Do you think that I will let my guard down just because she looks harmless? Nonsense...' Christopher commented with a blood-thirsty smile that only formed on his shadow, lying on the ground, not on his face.

["But there is still something I don't quite understand. She is paranoid that's obvious, but why you said otherwise then? "] Ardelean asked.

'Saying a direct truth to her now would only cause a catastrophe I don't want to be part of...'

'If she sees herself as a paranoid person, she may let her guard down too much, which would mean an opportunity for our little assassin to strike and kill her.'

'Would you want that? ' Christopher asked.

["Of course not! "] Ardelean shouted like a child whose favorite toy was about to be stolen.

'Then, let me cook. Meanwhile, prepare the books I asked for. The ones you let me read on Earth when we just met... Also, add some about the Egyptian Pantheon...'

["You plan to study more? "]

'Yeah... I'm weak. This Goddess almost killed me with just her aura and power I never saw. I don't want to feel weak like that ever again! '

["I see... As you wish host~. They will be ready when you return."] Ardelean went silent.

Getting her desires finally but just slightly under her control again, the Goddess suddenly asked:

"So... I'm just being careful and not paranoid? "

"Yeah don't worry about what other people think about you. They can't change you or see what you went through."

"And by the way, that's a good start." Christopher shifted his gaze from the Goddess' face towards the field in front of him ignoring her again while smiling and nodding approvingly.

"What do you mean? What's a good start? I don't quite remember..." the Goddess asked so he explained.

"Woman, are you senile or what? We talk about your subordinates. Dump those fuckers whom you don't trust! "

"Kill those snakes that roam the halls of your Empire! But also, don't forget to give opportunities to other individuals to shine as well." Christopher said with a mischievous smile and a red glow in his eyes.

"Paint yourself in your people's minds and eyes as someone who will give opportunities to anyone as long as they are good at something you will need in the future."

"Or, you need a new dress? Don't be a lazy ass, arrogant Goddess who will form them from her own power but simply go and buy some from your people."

"They'll appreciate it and you'll become more aware of your Empire's issues and problems! "

"Interact with others and form an unbreakable bond with your people. Trust them more and they will trust you too," he added with drastic honesty as he started infecting the Goddess with his own thoughts.

"But if I were in your place, I would first interrogate those bastards whom I don't trust and find more information about those who are plotting against me in the dark."

"Heh, well in my case Light, I guess~" Christopher chuckled at the end which made the Goddess smile slightly too.

Her mesmerazing emerald-green gaze with slight tones of pink, was piercing Christopher's entire beings as if she was looking right into his soul.

She was absorbing everything he said like a delinquent, but shy teenager that fell in love with the most handsome boy in school.

Every word he released was immediately absorbed by the hungry Empress which made Christopher smile internally in satisfaction.

But on the surface, he looked cool, like he didn't see anything, while continuing with his explanations, looking at the field in front of him.

"With this, I would kill two flies with one hit. I will know the secret information about spies in my kingdom or possible hidden locations of my Enemies and even have a moment of surprise which I would use to strike or gain more inside information."

"Depending on what I would need at that time more of course."

"You should never underestimate the element of surprise! " Christopher smiled broadly as his eyes turned fully black with red irises like he was possessed by a demonic being, together with a red, possessive glow for a brief second which caught the Goddess off guard.

"Wow, what a beautiful smile~..." she whispered, almost drowning in that blood-thirsty smile and deadly gaze.

*Cough "I mean, I never thought about it this way! " the Goddess was quite surprised as Christopher pretended not to hear what she said earlier and continued as if nothing happened.

"But at the same time, be wise when choosing your new subordinates as well."

Christopher's blood-thirsty expression suddenly returned back to normal as he continued giving hidden orders to the Goddess without her knowing it.

"Most of them will try to hide their true intentions from you. So, therefore, you must foresee the future and their possible next moves if you want to be fully successful."

"It's not going to help you much now if the problem is already rooted too deeply, but with time, you'll learn it and use it better."

"If the problem is too much for you to handle, I would recommend changing your location and the location of your divine Empire immediately as well."

"Constant and sudden moves are the keys to becoming unpredictable, don't you think, my dear Goddess~" Christopher turned his face at the shocked Goddess again and flashed a small smile with a cute wink.

Immediately, the wind around them circulated slightly, making his image in the eyes of the Goddess even more mesmerizing.

"Y-Y-Yes..." The Goddess responded like a robot, caught in his smile like a helpless fly in the Black Widow's web.

"But of course... the choice is always yours, my dear~"

With these words, the Goddess suddenly woke up and started thinking more about what she just heard and the pieces of information she just gained.
