Monarch of Darkness, Arsene

Chapter 212: Ploy

"L-L-Lord Snow?" Someone coldly called out as I stared at the attractive woman with long dark hair and piercing blue eyes, hovering over me, watching me like a hawk. A hint of fear could be seen before it vanished in a cloud of mist.

"You must be elder Audhild, quite the honor. Allow my dear brother in arms, Orion, to explain to you all that occurred. I am sure none of you would believe me, should I explained." I declared, fixing my clothing as a cold grimace marred my face.

I would have loved to hear what Handor said, but these fools were all watching. Once he said king, I knew better than to allow anyone to hear. I guess the only good thing was that I could still speak to the soul of Handor that had entered my soul space.

Appearing in a ray of red light, Orion sent me an annoying glance, all according to my plan, as I saw the crimson stains upon his body. Knowing he had killed the rest, I simply snorted, walking away as I left him to clean up.

All this could work to my advantage; I was currently high profiled, meaning I could persuade them to turn the other cheek for a price; however, this is exactly what I wanted.

Pulling out my smartphone, I couldn't help but smile, "The mind palace is good, but taking pictures is so much more fulfilling. Fuck, look at this destruction. Once I begin turning into a specific element, I would be unstoppable. And I have yet even to use any of the rituals yet."

Snaping a few pictures, I smile with joy when Audhild appeared in front of me in a flash. I could see a curious gleam upon her adorable face causing me to smile, "I thought you would be a cold bitch, no offense, but you don't look at all like that."

"How rude!" She exclaimed, slapping me across the face to my surprise; holding my cheek that started to swell, she continued, "respect your elder's boy, no matter how powerful you are. They created the world you are currently living in."

"But we are the ones that will inherit it. Should you not respect what we or rather I will accomplish?" I countered, not taking the slap to heart. I was not so petty as to murder her. Ok, that's a lie, but still, I like that fire!

Narrowing her gaze, I could not help but chuckle in glee as my chin slowly began to heal due to my healing factor, "You have a mouth on you, but I am more interested in what happened. I feel like Orion is lying, so what do you say, boy. Care to tell aunty what happen?"

"Oh~ your quite perceptive," I hummed in response " Such a thing can cost, my dear. But I am more than willing to accept something you hold dear should you wish to know."

Frowning, she backed away as I snorted, "Please do not flatter yourself, my dear. I have a wife, and... she would definitely... let's just say she is angry at me right now."

"Most likely because you can't keep your dick in check." She uttered as I rolled my eyes, but she was not wrong. It was all but clear that even if Lilith said she was Ok with me banging other women, she was lying. She hid it well, but I could still feel her anger.

"enough of that; what Orion said was definitely the truth. I swear to the heaven all the words he spoke was indeed not false." I responded as all that I told Orions to say was actually my words.

Staring at me for a while, Audhild simply smiled, "I still don't believe it. I have seen many use the heavens vow to pull the wool over my eyes. You are far too young to do so against me."

"If you say so," I responded, stretching my body as Zanris and Silvia appeared beside me in a flash. Zanris seemed rather taken back by the brunette as she frowned. "Master? Who is this? Is she going to be one of my sisters?

"I don't know. That's up to her." I replied with a dark fiendish smile, "Why? Don't tell me you want Lady Audhild."

Dropping her previous friendliness, I could not help but smirk at the grace Audhild suddenly portrayed as she stepped closer, "It's about your..."

"before you speak about my relics, it would be best if you learn what happened at The Jarls residence a few hours ago. Make your decision then. There is so much you need to understand, my dear, and so too does your clan."

"Lord Snow!!!" Trygve called from the skies. Sending a look back to Audhild, I snickered, "We will definitely meet once again. Send me a bill for all the damages Aunty Audhild."

Blushing for a second, I could see her grit her teeth as her breast began to press against her crossed arms.

Pushing out my demonic wings, I took to the skies arriving beside Trygve, "Get me an apartment. I wish to sleep. It's been a very, very long night."

Flying up with the quiet Silvia, Zanris followed behind me as Trygve began setting up everything for us within a rather high-class hotel. It was nothing special within my eyes as all of Hallr was a rather low-grade city, but it did the trick.

Entering a separate room from everyone else, I fell to the bed with a sighed, "I wonder if Bael has a technique that can allow me to cultivate within my sleep."

"I am sure he does," A seductive voice called as I tilted my head towards the crimson-headed woman laying beside me.

"You know it's creepy to just appear in my bed, right?" I said, not really minding as I laid beside Ezra. "Something wrong? or do you wanna smash?"

Turning her head towards me, I could see trepidation as she nodded, "Yes. NO! I mean... it's you."

"Me? I know I'm sexy, but I have yet to do anything?"

"you truly do not know the power of your own words, do you?" Ezra bitterly exclaimed, "Maybe that's why you are so good at it. Arsene Snow, the man of Eternal Darkness, and Devil Hearts."

Frowning my I grew bewildered, "What are you talking about?"

Staring as tears ran from Ezra's eyes, I felt very awkward as she began to whimper, "Why - Why are you such a bastard? You fuck with everyone around like toys. Giving me a devel heart after our first conversation. Are we not allies? Father was right. You truly are a demon amongst us. I was born within the nines, but you, Arsene. You are so much worse, I...I... I hate you!!"

"The fuck is going on!"
