427 Chapter 427-Sonia's Truth
"I...don't know..." I finally said with a sad face as my focus turned back to my drink.
"It's not easy, you know, confronting the past. I'm just not sure, though I will think about it," I continued, speaking until here. I turned to look at Celestinia and gave her a grateful smile. She smiled back at me as she focused on her drink, seemingly in deep thought.
'I can't let you have it that easy,' I thought to myself. I need to make Celestinia work for it, to be my loyal simping dog, going behind me to get my approval. It's only when I have allowed Celestinia's behaviors to mellow down, can I start to interact with her.
"So why were you not on a walk?" I suddenly asked Celestinia.
"Oh...I was just out for a walk," Celestinia replied, to which I spoke in amusement.
"You know, it's not right for you to only know my identity. Can I know yours?" I asked her.
To my words, a thoughtful look took Celestinia's face, after which she shook her head. "Sorry, I can't. I have my reasons," she said as she drank her juice.
As such, we spent the next half an hour talking with each other, after which Celestinia said her goodbyes and left in a hurry. It would seem that she had reached her goal for now, and if my guess is correct, she might be going to "console" the dissatisfied Scarlet.
'Guess she thinks the half-human side of Scarlet meant that she won't have a true obsession with Dragons,' I thought to myself. She's trying to make Scarlet dump me, but it will only backfire on her because just being a dragon doesn't mean an obsession with love. Ain't the ones around me living proof of that?
Giving one silent prayer to Celestinia, I started to move towards another place where another person awaited my presence. Walking while hiding my presence, I soon reached the private training area that I designed for my faction, with a specific area set privately for me. Bypassing the security, I soon entered the room where I saw a beautiful figure practicing her powers.
Rows of blood spears left her control as they kept destroying the dummies that were kept afar. The dummies themselves were getting distorted and destroyed. Her dark blonde hair was tied in a ponytail, and her red blood eyes were completely focused. I stayed there silently watching her get used to her powers for a few minutes.
"You've gotten better," I suddenly said, seeing that her training was over. My voice quickly got Sonia's attention as she turned her head towards me, her cold training eyes soon melting into a shy smile as she waved her hands at me.
"Hi," she said.
Seeing this, a smile came to my face as I came up to her and quickly hugged her body, making her freeze for a moment.
"I stink right now," she shyly reported in my embrace, seemingly more worried about me getting wet from her sweat. To her words, I took a deep sniff from Sonia's neck as I responded to her ear.
"You still smell good...."
My words made Sonia blush, but in the end, she gave in and hugged me back.
"Missed me?" I asked in a raspy voice to which she replied with a shy nod, "a lot..." Her cute expression and words were more than enough to raise my sugar level. I placed a small kiss on her cheek before sitting down on the ground with Sonia on my lap. She shyly moved around in my embrace, her eyes taking in my form as she soon asked me with worry evident in her tone, "Did you get hurt?"
Her question focused on what took place back in the realm. As by now, the story must have spread across the entire world, especially the fact of me leading the entire generation through an impossible war and achieving victory. I already received lots of congratulatory notes from my grandfather, proud of the military-like mind that I displayed.
"Did you hear the stories?" I asked, making Sonia nod her head. Her expression lit up in awe as she spoke, "I heard a lot about what you did...."
"Really? Then how did that make you feel?" I asked with a sly smile, keeping her ruby-like red eyes focused on me. Her expression kept changing, trying not to answer, but I didn't let her as I made sure to keep her focus on me as I asked again, "Tell me."
My words were commanding this time, hence she started to reply in a small voice, "I felt worried, happy for you, I felt a certain pride and a bit of reluctance in not being there with you...." Each word she spoke only made me smile more.
"So, are you practicing here now, so hard to battle alongside me?" I asked, but she didn't answer. The subtle nod and blush on her face were more than enough of an answer. I was unable to hold back anymore as I raised Sonia's head towards me, taking her lips in a kiss. As I did, I could see Sonia's eyes opening wide in surprise.
Without thinking, I pulled her into my lap and placed a chaste kiss on her lips, filled with love and affection. As I pulled back, I could see the shyness in her eyes, and I knew that she was inexperienced when it came to kissing. But I wanted to show her what it felt like to be kissed by someone who loved her. So I leaned in again, this time adding a bit of tongue, exploring her mouth slowly and gently. Sonia's hands found their way to my shoulders, holding on tightly as she responded to my kiss.
I could feel her body relax into mine, her curves fitting perfectly against my chest. And as we continued to kiss, I couldn't help but guide her, teaching her how to kiss back and how to let herself go.
We broke the kiss for a moment, both of us breathing heavily. But before I could say anything, Sonia leaned back in, her lips parting eagerly as she deepened the kiss. This time, there was no hesitation, no shyness, just pure passion, and desire.
I let out a low groan as I felt her hands move to my hair, pulling me closer as we kissed harder and faster. And as we broke the kiss again, I could see the love in her eyes shining at me, her face blooming into a smile, seeing so I asked.
"Sonia, do you love me?" My voice was serious, as were my eyes as I kept looking at her with loving eyes. She didn't hesitate to answer, "I love you." Saying so, she closed her eyes and placed her hands on her heart, taking a deep breath before continuing, "The time you gave me was more than enough for me to understand my feelings for you, and I can say with absolute certainty that..."
At this point, her eyes opened wide and I could see a dark, sinister love blooming within them. "I love you," she said, her voice full of hunger.
Those words were more than enough to make me smile. Looking into those hungry red eyes, I pulled my collar down, showing my neck as I spoke. "Go on then."
Just as I finished speaking, Sonia jumped towards my neck, her fangs slowly piercing my skin as she started to drink my blood. Within seconds, she was completely full. Taking her fangs away from me, her eyes seemed drunk as she spoke, "Delicious..."
Just as she finished speaking, she closed her eyes and lost consciousness. I held her body as suddenly, Farah spoke. 'Master, your blood is changing her.'
Those words made me smile as I asked, 'Tell me more.'
'Your blood is too dominant than any other blood, filled with destruction and life. It's completely overriding this girl's body, mind, and soul. Her talents would surpass all, and her love, duty, and identity for you would be unquestionable.'
As Farah finished speaking, I didn't respond as I kept looking at Sonia. I had a keen idea that something was happening, and Farah telling me this only proved my hypothesis.
'Does this work on all those that drink blood?' I asked.
'Yes, as long as any of them drink your blood, that is the last reaction.'
This was indeed enough to brighten my day. I seemingly now have an easier way to get that little vampire princess to myself.
'Oh, by the way, master, I would recommend not bleeding near these types of blood users. With your blood inside your body, it's okay, but once they get a sniff outside, they will turn into horny, mad, driven blood drivers for you.'
'.....'
'... Sigh... Why am I even trying to be surprised?'
