The Conquerors Path

Chapter 280-War

"So a few days from now, huh?"

I asked to Eleanor who was lovingly sitting on my lap, hugging me, right now I was once again in the tower sitting in her main room, the week has been hectic, to say the least, and my plans against Ron had begun thus laying on a heated fight that keeps escalating the atmosphere in the academy which right now is oppressive.

Everyone is apprehensive about what's going to happen, thankfully I had Alex on my side dealing with the majority of the problems, his planning and style were brutal hence I can be safe with that, the next thing I had to deal with is the girls, my routine for Olivia is going the same, by now I have won a small part of her heart with my gentle side.

Instead of only using pain, I have started to 'attack' her with my love, I had already even taken her on a second date, cementing her growing feelings for me, the next thing was Scarlet with whom I went on a third date with, this wasn't anything too fancy, I just took her to the first place we met, making us relive through our memory, it was sweet and relaxing.

The person whom I have made the most stride with is Carmel/Carmelia, both of them have now greatly opened out to me, me playing the 'junior' has really helped, though it's harder to make more progress with two loyal dogs attacking me at any chance they get, the only alone time I get is at the night with Carmelia.

The other time both her best friends would stick to her side like glue, worst thing is I can't make them leave, I know that Carmel thinks of them as a family to her, after all, they grew up together and me being with her for 2 weeks won't make me more important to her than them, for that, I need to take my time and slowly wilt away the bond that exists.

Then there is Sonia who I have been visiting every day, slowly I am becoming a major part of her heart and thankfully I have Clara who easily whispers and manipulates her in the way that I desire, hence, in that case, I am fine, then there's Shira, that bitch is a handful.

Though I didn't visit her every day, I did go to her at intervals, slowly turning her into my slave, which is turning out to be easier than I thought, her M side is much more active than I thought, perhaps I might be able to push up some of the plans I have already been thinking of,

"Yes, I will soon be introducing you to the world as my successor"

Eleanor spoke with a smile as she moved forward and placed a kiss on my head, her eyes overflowing with love for me, I just smiled as I started to pat her hair in a slow manner knowing that she loves it when I do this, and just like that she melted in my embrace as she sat there happily on my lap.

No one would connect her to a world-shaking Imperial, right now she looks more like a meek lover than a fierce archer that is feared over for her shots,

"So it will be in a week?"

"Yes, I have already contacted the relevant ones, everyone with power will be there, and the whole world will soon know about you"

"Well, it's not like they don't know already"

"Hehehe....that's true"

Eleanor replied with a smile, I just hugged her as my thoughts went into overload, many things would soon be changing and I want to make sure that I am prepared for what's was to come,

"I will be going on an adventure with Carmel soon"

I abruptly spoke, making Eleanor flinch as she raised her head to look directly into me, I gave her a reassuring smile as I caught her face with my hands,

"I want to help my senior, I want to make the burden that you have in you're heart disappear and I want you to be happy"

My words were less but they conveyed all my thoughts and feelings, Eleanor understood them as she shook her head with a wry smile, taking my hands away she placed her hands on my face, tenderness deep within her eyes,

"Just what did I do to deserve you?"

"Probably saved a world in your last life"

"Humph, quite narcissistic"

"Well, that is my middle name"

My answer caused Eleanor to chuckle as she moved forward and placed a kiss on my lips, her soft sweet lips were meeting with mine, this time there was no lust just pure feeling and love, we just sat there as her lips melted with mine, soon a few seconds later she broke the kiss, a dazzling smile took her face,

"Sure, you can help her but be careful, traumas are not things easy to deal with, one wrong move and things will come tumbling down"

"I know, just trust me"

I said as I lovingly caressed her face,

"Always"

She replied as she dived back into my embrace.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"So how are things on our side?"

I asked as I took a seat at the meeting, the whole atmosphere was serious, Alex stood up as he started to speak,

"On the current way we are going things are well, if this keeps up we have a huge chance for victory but...."

"But?"

I asked, Alex, nodded,

"But we just got a report that Ron is meeting up with Angelina, they might form some sort of alliance, if they did, things would become bad for us"

"I see.."

I nodded my head, knowing well about the ways that thing could mess up but I was not even a bit scared, there's always a workaround, turning to the rest that had gathered I spoke,

"Don't worry about it, just go the way things have been going about, within a week this will all be over"

Hearing my words the rest nodded their head, their tiredness being replaced with their strong will, the current situation might look good but it couldn't last forever, the more longer thing went on the more troublesome things might end up being.

The numbers we have is small, I couldn't keep sending them away for battle, even if they could recover magic and injuries, the mental health is another thing, that is something that needs rest and I can't do anything about that if it lasts long the mental health of all my members would only keep falling.

'Looks like its time I dived into the sea'

With such thoughts, I left the room as I headed toward my desired location.
