Austin POV:
'Well, that was nice...'
I thought to myself as I relaxed in a comfy chair in my mansion. It was the day after my tryst with Shira, and having satisfied her body, soul, and mind, I could confidently say that she loved me with all her heart and would be willing to do anything for me.
'Thank god for her special criteria.'
In the game, just like Sonia, Shira could be considered a freebie in the game. As our main character lived with Shira, she would start to feel depressed by her lack of growth in power, until she finally decided to let her female self out. What better way to do that than by bringing it out with the man she lived with?
This presented us with a choice: to either play the good guy and romance her before taking her body, mellowing down her tendencies and focusing more on the love part, or to be the bad guy and establish a master-slave relationship before developing any sort of love between them.
Being the good guy that I am, I went for the easier and more pleasurable path. Dealing with a stuck-up girl who doesn't know romance who would be a pain to date didn't seem worth it. Plus, it would be sweeter this way when things got heated up.
As I pulled away from my thoughts, I took out a document that belonged to Shira. It contained all the information about 'their' future plans, and my gaze turned towards the one focused on my family.
Name: Elda Lionheart.
Bloodline: Fairy's Call.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtPlan: Perfect Breeding Tool.
Description: Best to be used as a breeding tool to create more powerful bloodline users.
-->Kind by nature and can be used to control her.
Kidnapping Plans: ...
My heart burned with killing intent as I gazed upon the plans for my family. If I didn't keep myself in check, I might forsake all my plans and go kill this entire family from top to bottom. These plans were verified by "that" power and were supposed to be executed by the Hillcloud and the rest of their pawns, with Shira's family taking the lead. Shira herself played a part in creating these plans, and it took all my willpower not to drive an arrow through her heart.
'It would be sweeter when I see the despair in her eyes.'
Controlling my inner rage, I turned to look through all the information at hand.
Name: Nora Lionheart.
Bloodline: War Blood Call.
Plan: Perfect Breeding and Control Tool.
Description: Best to be used as a breeding tool to create more powerful bloodline users. With her status as the next Duchess, controlling her becomes possible.
-->Cold by nature and currently shows no interest in love-related matters.
Seduction Plans: ...
I couldn't help but chuckle when I saw this information. Trying to seduce Nora was the worst path they could take, which was completely and utterly impossible. All the pawns they placed around her were already being slowly dealt with by me, and the more they sent, the more their resources were being wasted.
My eyes then landed on the plans for Grace.
Name: Grace Lionheart.
Bloodline: War Rose Blood.
Plan: Seduction and Control.
Description: Best to be seduced and used since she is currently unmarried and shows no signs of the need for another marriage. Breeding her might provide a better chance for a powerful lineage.
-->Gentle by nature but only truly opens up to her family.
Seduction Plans: ...
'Their plans were quite good.'
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWith the information they had, they did make a solid plan, but in the end, it was useless. However, what really caught my interest was the one they kept in my family to take control of my mother, Maximus.
The name is very familiar because he is the one leading a certain portion of the soldiers within the Lionheart Dukedom. Moreover, he's in love with my mother, which is an open secret to all within the mansion. He seems like the perfect bachelor, still unmarried, handsome, raked in a lot of achievements in the military, and even gained some recognition from my grandfather. Only after all this did he even get a position within my family's mansion.
'Guess one more would be disappearing from the guards....'
Casually giving the end verdict for this traitor, I went through all the relevant data before closing everything up. Standing up and stretching my body, I walked towards a certain part of my wall and placed my hands on it. Just as I did, my body moved through a spatial tunnel till I reached a huge open hall.
My feet touched the ground while my eyes looked around the church which was beautifully made with gold and expensive diamonds surrounding the entire place. It was to be expected since this is the church of the...
"Holy Son!" A woman called out as the door to the hall opened up. Coming into my gaze was a beautiful woman with black hair and brown eyes. Her body was the perfect blend with correct proportions, which could be made out through her saintess clothing. Following behind her were the rest of the high-ranking witches and elders of the church.
Yup, I am in Razellia's church, one of the richest places in the world.
"You still look lively, Saintess Astrid," I said with a smile that quickly smitten everyone here, especially Astrid, as a shy smile came to her face.
"Thank you, Austin," she said with a bow, trying her best to use my name as I had specified her to.
"Shall we?" I said, and Astrid and her entourage nodded their head. Seeing so, I walked forward with her leading the way for me. I had already specified to her that I would be coming here today, hence the place we kept walking through was emptied for me, as I still want to keep this identity of mine secret for some more time. There is a perfect time that I am planning to let that information spread.
"The place seems to be getting better," I said as I kept walking along, gazing at the beautifully constructed church which is named as one of the most expensive buildings in the world. If there is one thing that the witches don't lack, then that's money.
"It's all because of you. We have you to thank for everything you gave us," Astrid said with a loving, obsessed, and worshiping voice, while the rest of the women had the same expression on their faces. I inwardly smiled at it as by now I have all the highest-ranking women within the entire church worshiping me.
I'm sure that if I gave them the order to wage war, they wouldn't hesitate for a moment before completely killing off any target I gave them.
Of course, the supreme blessing that Razellia gave me has a part as it passively increases the feeling of these women for me until they are mine, but that is a long process, and just because of that, they won't turn into some brainless women that will do what I say. No, this is all thanks to the work I put into making everything better for them.
The witches are rich and well-respected in the world, but they lack a certain true higher objective to reach. They also suffer from a certain type of curse that passively takes control of them, and there is also the fact that they have been suffering from several lacks of things in the church, all of which I started to solve one by one.
