Chapter 19 Plotting Against Parul
After sorting through all the information about David's elder brother Leon, who was exiled, I calculated he should be making his appearance by the time we return.
The birds' chirping could already be heard.
I opened the windows and let the rays shine on both girls' faces.
Seeing that they were still not waking up, I went near Aushima's ear and whispered, "Hey"...
"Look, a spider is crawling on the bed."
Suddenly, Aushima opened her eyes and threw her arms wide open, pushing Rose to fall.
"Aaahhh"
"Elandor, please save me."
Wuvuuuuuu~
"Husband, there's a spider", saying she jumped on me and hung on me like a koala.
"Aah… it hurts so much", spoke Rose.
We moved our heads toward the voice only to see her embarrassed fallen position.
"How can someone be so cruel to throw this princess away?" she spoke with her aggrieved eyes.
"Oh, still calling yourself a princess in front of me?"
Sensing the dangerous glint in my eyes, she turned her face downwards.
"Now tell me the location of the herbs I need to get."
"What location? We have to explore the forest and find them ourselves."
"Oh, so it seems our kitten is not honest and needs an hour of spanking."
"No…. no don't come close to me"
Seeing me getting closer she stood up.
"I will give you one chance, or else I am going to kick you out of the house and we will never have contact again."
Seeing my serious eyes and remembering last night's bullying, she finally surrendered.
"Okay, but we will go together", she again lifted her expectant eyes towards me.
"No"
"Why?", she cried out.
"It's because you have a much more important task to do."
"What's that?", she asked.
"Aushima is gonna teach you how to be an obedient maid and what are her duties. Only if you are obedient you shall get special treatment."
"No, I don't accept it"
"Then leave, there's the door", I spoke in a domineering tone.
Rose felt panicked, she didn't want to learn how to be a maid but she also not wanted to leave him.
How can she be satisfied once after having the forbidden taste of last night?
She knew she was already addicted to the feelings he brought her and he had already torn open a hole in her heart forcefully shattering her strong defences.
Her heart now already has deep shadows of the intense shameful acts they did.
"So you are going out or be obedient?"
"I…I will be obedient", saying she gritted her teeth and seemed to want to cry.
"Okay, don't be sad. Aushima you must teach her everything that I taught you in training, I'm counting on you".
"Don't worry, with me here you can rest assured", saying she raised her small pinky fist.
I patted her head little head. Seeing our cute interaction Rose pouted and again looked at me with her pitiable eyes.
I guess I can't favour one and leave the other. Seeing me raising my head to pat her, she rushed to me and leaned her head on my hand.
While doing so she giggled happily, making both me and Aushima laugh out loud.
"Hey don't bully me!"
"Ok..okay Aushima don't remember your pouting face when you need kisses?"
"Rose is new so she needs your guidance".
"Yes, husband go out without any worry, I will make her a great maid by the time you are back", seeing Aushima acting like a professional maid and loving wife, Rose's eyes were already filled with a little jealousy and she made up her mind to become a maid on par with her before he returns.
After getting information about herbs from Rose, I gave both of them a kiss on the forehead and left.
...
At the same time in the countryside David, Eve and Jasmine were fighting along with royal knights to exterminate the goblins. David had been in a complete mess.
Since last night he was feeling like someone has cut away a piece of his heart with a sharp knife.
Elandor had already robbed half of his luck after claiming Rose, as a result, his protagonist halo which was responsible for saving him even in most deadly situations was weakened a lot.
Therefore, he had already suffered from various injuries and all of his body was covered with heavy wounds.
There was a big goblin group heading towards him. His body whose luck was already half plundered was exhausted after the night-long battle and seeing the punch coming from a strong goblin he closed his eyes, he knew he didn't have the strength to dodge it.
Just as the punch was about to strike him, a sword light flashed by.
"Oh my poor brother, how can be you so absent-minded in midst of battle", saying a young man in white robes appeared behind him.
"Leon"?
….....
I had already entered the restricted forest and quickly made my way to the area told by Rose.
I was extra careful as it was said that legend-level beasts can be found if we go in core areas of restricted forest. Luckily, the herbs I need are easily available in the outer areas of the forest.
I had already worn a mask and worn large robes to hide my identity.
Then I easily reached the place as told by Rose and collected the first herb growing under a tree.
The second one was tricky to find but thanks to Rose's detailed information under the threat of spanking, I was easily able to locate the flower field where the second herb was.
Just as he was about to leave he heard someone rushing toward his location.
He quickly hid his breath using his support and space magic and hid behind a tree.
He saw a beautiful girl with the blonde hair running in his direction. She was carrying a huge bag along with her and 3 strong guards were chasing her.
Just as he was about to take action he saw a strange light burning from the girl's body.
The beauty had covered her face with a veil but one could see from her juicy figure that she was a great deal on inside.
She suddenly stopped running and used ice magic to rip straight through the opponent's heart. She used all her strength on this move to catch the enemy off-guard.
Once she was sure that the enemy was dead she fell to the ground and rested her back against a tree.
Her body no longer had any strength as all her mana was used up.
Elandor had a smile on his face, he had a hunch that this girl given how amazing her looks are despite being hidden by a veil was related to a protagonist.
His intuition told him that the bag she was carrying had something very important.
He slowly walked toward her.
Seeing a person approaching her, the girl became vigilant but she had no strength to fight back or run away.
She thought she was gonna get raped and tears started rolling in her eyes.
"Oh Leon, I'm sorry this young lady may not be able to keep her promise to marry you now."
Hearing her words Elandor was suddenly ecstatic, wasn't Leon the name of the second protagonist, and he quickly thought of a cunning plan.
He modified his voice using support magic to sound like Parul.
"Hey young lady, this thing that you are carrying seems pretty important, let me have it."
Hearing a girl's voice she was suddenly startled, "Who are you?"
"Do you know who this young miss is?"
"Help me and you shall be rewarded once we get back to the city, I'm a noble".
I sneered at her childish tricks, use me to reach back easily then discard me?
How can I be so naive as to take her back, she probably has a lot of people waiting for her and once I return to the city with her, they will silence me to keep today's matter a secret.
But I had already a plan in mind, my face and body were already covered with mask and large robes and the voice was of Parul using support magic.
I went closer to her and lifted her veil, there was a charming face underneath but I had no time to waste, I slapped her quite hard.
The sound of slap resounded throughout the silent forest, there were even some of her teeth that had fallen out.
"Remember this young lady's name clearly, I'm the prettiest lady Parul, the daughter of the guild master of the strongest guild and who has the unconditional support of David, the strongest warrior and future legend rank adventurer."
Without giving her a chance to react I snatched away the big bag being carried by her along with all other important stuff I could find on her.
I was surprised to see a storage ring on her finger and took it away under her glaring eyes.
Having been looted completely, she wanted to scream desperately but had no strength.
Once I finished taking off her weapons, defence artifacts, and storage ring I slapped her once again.
"Remember my name, the prettiest lady Parul who robbed you", saying I ran away as far as I could.
