“Have you turned around yet?”

“Nope.”

“Have you thought about it?”

“Of course.”

“Go ahead then turn around, and when you’re done open your eyes.”

I’ll admit, I opened my eyes not knowing what to expect.

But Alexis was gone, the items were in my inventory though.

“So tell me what do you see?”

“A wall…”

“Ahahahahaha, I can’t believe you actually spent five hours standing like that, I’m long gone you know...”

“...or are you lying to me?”

“I swear I would never lie to you.”

“Oh my god, are you serious, are you an idiot or something?”

“Just a fool for love perhaps.”

“Love, what do you even know about me, you haven’t even known me that long and you actually think I would marry

someone like you?”

“Who knows, I know many things about you, you’re a kind, considerate, innocent, girl who worries about too many things.”

“It was all an act you know, I knew you were a womanizer from the start, I don’t even know why you’re ugly and corny. So I thought I’d use you for my quest and teach you a lesson, you know I’m not even a virgin, and you taste disgusting and I’ve had bigger.”

“If you want someone to hate, hate yourself for being fooled by my acting.”

“Hate you? No I don’t hate you, nor do I hate myself, you know Alexis, even the best actor applies some parts of themselves to the characters they play. You’re beautiful Alexis, A beautiful body, a beautiful mind, and a beautiful soul. Our relationship will always be whatever you want it to be, I shall never lie to you, I love you.”

“Nothing fazes you does it?”

“The mind is both, the source of happiness and of unhappiness.”

“Fine turn back around.”

This time the voice came from behind me.

“I used Brawnen to see whether you would listen to me or not, but five hours, huh.”

The turned her back on me, and began to take off her top, Branwen flew off her shoulder and perched on some bones, closing her eyes, I guess she gets that this wasn’t for her.

Throwing her shirt to the side, Alexis didn’t just stop there, putting her hand in her waistband she dropped her skirt, taking one step back with her left she kicked the skirt on top of her shirts.

Standing there she was wearing only those wooden sandal heels, with the white cloth attaching it to her feet leaving the heel and toes exposed, and her panties. From behind I could her panties were a g-string, with lacy ribbons at her sides.

Putting her legs in the right position, she prepared to pirouette, once, twice and thrice towards me. Wait there was one final twist, launching her leg towards the sky, as her head moved towards the floor, the turn continued until she was standing up in front of me, face to face.

“There’s your illusion turn, I’ll do anything for you it seems.”

She really would, the sight was breath-taking, on her large breasts, her small, cute nipples actually matched her golden-coloured lips. And I found out why they were called butterfly battle panties, and the reason for the tee hee on the flavour text.

There was indeed a butterfly, it was quite fancy, the wings even looked real. Completely black with four wings, in between the veins was a thin see-though crystal glass, blue, yellow, green and red alternated in a pattern on each of the wings. But I couldn’t see her honeypot through the wings.

Not that I couldn’t see it, no, the butterfly was above her tight, glistening, slit. Two strings ran underneath the wings and around her almost hairless lower lips, yes, these panties were completely crotch-less. I had made her wear these, this whole time.

She came forward and wrapped her arms around my neck, lifting up her right leg she began rubbing it against me as she came in for the kiss. Was started out as few quick pecks slowly escalated, as our tongues intertwined we slowly lost track of time. Eventually we had to stop to catch our breaths.

“Hah, have we sealed the deal then?”

“As long as it’s on your terms.”

She stared into my eyes with a mixture of love and lust.

“It is, did you notice my nipples in game are golden?”

“Of course.”

“I didn’t realise until I got changed for that bath.”

She licked her lips and separated from me.

“Do you think my special area is also golden?”

“Who knows, it’s possible, but I can’t see it.”

“Mm, yeah it covers the inside well, my sister’s is the same.”

“We looked at each other’s before, it’s hard to see your own, even with a mirror.”

“Unlike a certain someone’s power pole.”

She turned around and bent over, taking her hands to her lips she spread them.

“You’ll have to tell me, what the colour is, oh and if my maidenhood is still there, I have it in reality, I’ve been checking every night you know, I feel like at some point, you’ll take it without me knowing.”

I let out a growl, I only tend to when I’m really feeling in the mood.

The dev’s, certainly had a good sense of humour, the inner part of her flower was the same golden colour as her lips

“The colour is golden, and your innocence is there.”

She looked at me from between her legs, and licked her lips.

“Well that’s one problem solved, for the other, take it, it’s got your name on it, I don’t wanna be a innocent little girl anymore Zeke.”

I grabbed both of her cheeks.

“Oooh.”

She let out a squeal of delight, I wanted to ravage her, to make her mine.

But rule number one of being a magician is to keep control of any situation, when the pace was going too slow make it fast, when fast, make it slow, sometimes you could go with the flow, but only if you were in control, you always have to have the audience guessing.

I kneeled down and kissed her precious lips.

“Mmn, stop teasing me already.”

I stood back up and gave her a small slap on the cheek.

“There, we’ve sealed it with a kiss, get dressed we’re leaving.”

“What?”

“You heard me.”

She was standing back up looking at me with stunned expression, I was already almost to the stairs at this point.

“FINE!”

She shouted back at me, I could feel the rage in her voice.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was up the stairs awaiting her and soon she came up fully clothed.

Yup she was mad, she was biting her lip and wouldn’t look me in the eyes.

This continued as we made our way out of the castle, she didn’t say a single word, but her heals were on point, so I had that going for me.

One undead was killed and three goblins, as we finally left the castle.

“So what happens next, we kill a thousand people?”

She finally spoke, her voice had a bit of bile in it, and she still wasn’t looking at me.

“Do you want to kill them with me?”

She thought about it for a moment, still staring at the ground she answered.

“No…”

“Then go hand in your quest, the sooner you do, the sooner you can come back.”

She looked up at me.

“But your class quest? I mean you helped me with mine…”

She realised what she had done, without meaning to she broke her own staring contest with the ground, and quickly turned to stare at the floor again, biting her lip.

“I’ll manage to do it alone, besides I’ll have Shadowcloak to hide my basic features you won’t, I wouldn’t want anyone to hurt you because of what I’m about to do.”

“And more importantly I think we need some time apart.”

She kicked the dirt she was apparently so fixated upon.

“I don’t understand…”

“ I think you need the time apart, to decide on what it really is you want with me, if anything at all.”

“I hate you…”

She looked up at me anger in her eyes, her tears welling up. She clenched her fists and walked up to me.

She started to bawl as she slammed her fists into my chest.

“I hate you! I hate you! I hate you! I hate you…”

She stopped hitting me and collapsed onto my stomach.  Hugging me tightly, she continued to cry on my chest, sobbing the words I hate you, softly over and over.

I hugged her back and began to stroke her hair, I gave her a small kiss and whispered to her.

“Shhh, there, there, tell me what’s wrong, I’ll always be here for you.”

“Will you? I hate you so much, but you won’t hate me, and you won’t let me hate you.”

“Mmm, so you don’t hate me.”

“Of course not you idiot, I’m so in love with you it scares me. I never dreamed it would be anything like this. I thought I’d find my prince who’d love me and only me, until we died.”

“Yet here I am, in your arms ready to become another notch on your bedpost.”

“And I can’t understand you at all, you say you won’t do anything to me, but you do everything, and I ask you to stop, and you still do everything.”

“The scariest part is that, I enjoy it all, I just find myself falling deeper and deeper into this pit of mud. I try my best to make you give up on me, I act out and pretend I hate you, pretend to be the exact opposite of everything you say you’re in love with.”

“But you don’t doubt me and still say you love me, did you know everything the whole time, are the words just to toy with my heart, or do you mean them?”

“You say you won’t lie to me, yet somehow I can’t trust a single thing you say, but not once can I believe you’ve lied to me. And when I lie to you, you don’t say a single thing, you just have that smile on your face that seems to have the world under its control.”

“You say if I’m on a platter you’ll eat me, and I shed my modesty and danced at your whims. I did my best to try to tempt you, thinking if you at least break the promise not to take my first time, I can throw it away with my feelings. But you just won’t let me hate you!”

“I don’t know what to believe anymore, is this who I am, it wasn’t like this before we met, everything’s so complicated, I can’t believe anything about you, or begin to know anything about you and what you think about. Yet you seem to know my every thought, are you even real? Are you some kind of AI experiment to see if you can trick a human? I just don’t know anything anymore.”

“Alexis, you can never be the same person you were a year ago, or a month ago, you can only be who you are in this moment of time.”

“You know I’m a magician right?”

“And you’ve got magic that’ll make all my problems disappear right?”

“That’s right, are you ready for it?”

“Just promise me one thing, protect me and my older sister and don’t throw either of us away.”

“I promise, but why the both of you?”

“Somehow when asking her to get me out of this quicksand pit, I’ve ended up dragging her into it.”

“You don’t have to bring her here if you don’t want to, you can still leave when we part you know.”

“Yet, I’ll come back crawling to you, won’t I?”

I kissed her head.

“Only if it’s what you want.”

“What I want, I have no idea.”

“I won’t make a single move on your sister if you tell me not to.”

“Really? you made every move on me.”

“Slightly different, if my lover asks me not to talk to another girl I’ll do it without a second thought, okay?”

“No.”

“No?”

“Somehow, even though everything is so weird, I don’t want anything to stop.”

“I’ve been telling my sister everything that’s happened.”

“And what did she say?”

“She obviously tried to get me away from you.”

“And yet you’ve stayed.”

“Yes, I can’t get away from you, can I? Don’t give me that it’s all my choice rubbish.”

“I still couldn’t leave, so I tried to have her break us up, I showed her everything that we had done so far.”

“The gameplay videos? how much did she watch?”

“Something like that, but she saw everything important, the moment we met, the panties, our time in the onsen, everything.”

“Are you sure that was the wisest decision?”

“No, of course not, she fell in love with you too, she began to feel everything I feel for you.”

“What makes you think your sister who’s never met me, is in love with me?”

“The same night I gave her them, I caught her pleasuring herself, she’s never done anything like that before.”

“Are you sure-“

She looked up at me angrily.

“Yes I’m sure.”

“Okay, so what happened after you found your sister?”

Her ears lit up, and she tucked her head into my chest.

“I began… to think of you too…”

“So, while hiding you watched her playing by herself and you began to think of me?”

“No…”

“No?”

“We sleep together…”

“So she woke you up in the night, and you began to do it with her?”

“Yes…”

“She knew you were awake?”

“Yes… Ah! It’s poking me…”

“No one has that much self-control, so she continued?”

“Yes…”

“You did it together?”

She bit her lips and almost drilled her head into my chest.

“Yes… we held hands.”

“Did you reach it?”

“Together… we were both thinking of y-mmmmmn.”

Trembling, she lost the strength in her legs but I was there to catch her.

“Alexis,” I stroked her hair “you’re beautiful.”

After a minute or two panting while I held her up, she began to talk again.

“That’s it isn’t it, my magic words, those words that make me feel safe in your arms, those words they make me feel beautiful, feel loved, and make me fall in love with you all over again.”

“Yes, the secret is, those words, they’re the truth.”

“Do it again, but call me Lexi.”

“Lexi, you’re beautiful.”

“Fufu, say it again.”

“Lexi, you’re beautiful.”

Her hug grew tighter and she looked me in the eyes.

“Mmn, one more time and I want a kiss too.”

I took one hand off her waist and gently stroked her hair.

“Lexi, you’re beautiful.”

Closing her eyes and leaning in, we locked lips, after a quick reaffirmation of our love I drew back, sucking her lowing lip as I left.

“Fufu, only you and my sister can call me that okay, I feel like a baby otherwise.”

“Alright, alright, I’ll only use it when I spoil you.”

I ruffled her hair.

“I’m glad you understand, I get it now. I’ve been overthinking things, I’m just going to jump into your arms and hope you make me happy.”

“Hmm, I don’t make you happy already?”

“Mmn, slightly content maybe?”

She titled her head.

“Aww don’t make that face, you make me happy, I was joking, alright. Whether you're my prince or just a thief you'll have to show me, okay?”

I grinned back at her.

“I’m glad you’ve calmed down a bit, I think you’re ready.”

“So the question is Alexis, what do you want to come from us?”

“I want you love, cherish and protect me and my sister, if that’s all you can do I’ll be satisfied, even the earlier things you promised, you don’t have to do them.”

“I never go back on my words okay. I’ll love, cherish and protect you and your sister as long as you want me to.”

“Then I’ll have you love us forever okay?”

“Then I’ll have to love you forever and a day.”

She giggled and we separated.

“So your sister, she’s now fallen madly in love and wants to come meet me with you?”

“Sort of, she hates your guts, but, she won’t tell you this, and don’t tell her I told you but…”

“We’ve been doing it every night before we sleep, umm… thinking of you I mean.”

Hehe.

“The other thing is…”

“I’ve been keeping some secrets, but I’m ready to tell you everything, or rather I want you to know everything about me.”

“When the time comes, with my sister here, we’ll tell you everything about us when she’s ready too.”

“Alright, we’ve talked enough, those monsters will spawn soon. Do you feel better?”

“Yeah.”

“Just remember you can talk to me anytime through whispers.”

“Mmn.”

She gave a cute nod.

“And you’re carrying around my taste so you won’t forget about it.”

Her ears went bright red.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And so we parted, I thought she would come to Wallenheim, but it seems her sect sent her some secret way so she went back that way, I went to the forest entrance to meet Maximus, hopefully he was still there.

Yup he was still there grazing, so I gave him a whistle.

He ran up and snorted in my face.

“Sorry buddy, finally finished, the guy was a coward hiding in the basement.”

He rolled his head, and then indicated me to jump on.

God, I love this horse, I hope I can get a mount half as good as him.

On the ride back, I checked the loot I had gotten, I equipped the rings, they were just silver rings with a skull on them, and the robe. It actually had more defence than my leather, must be a level thing. Rather than a robe, it was more like a trench coat vest, there were no buttons so my chest and abs could be seen, and my arms. The devs really were having a giggle, if I had to guess somewhere there was a fantasy armour look button, but I hadn’t found it yet.

I wore the cuffs to check them, but they genuinely were a gloves and shoe item instead of jewellery, my own were replaced with large silver snakes that coiled around my wrists and ankles, every snake had a large purple gem in its mouth, each having a black line inside it, making it look like an eye. I unequipped them for now, I’d wear them when I started my quest.

The book was amazing, but it seemed to require me not having a weapon, so I’d keep it for now, maybe I’ll use it when I reach the necessary requirements. But it was definitely too valuable to sell.

Eventually we reached Wallenheim, I patted him and bid him farewell.

I was gonna head to Klein to start killing some noobs, before coming back to meet Theo to hand in my quest, so first I headed to the market to resupply.

Looking around I couldn’t find Sid, he was long gone. In his place however, was a silver jeweller, she had some really nice stuff, a bunch of hairpins in the shapes of flowers, I ended up buying her entire inventory, at 2 silver each it went over 2 gold, but I really had to have these sorts of things.

I thanked the woman and headed towards the tailor Sid had recommended previously, it was time to get some repairs.

*Thock*

I felt the force of something hitting my sheathe.

“Anata wa-"

A husky, yet crystal clear voice rang out behind my ears.

"-watashi ga utsukushii toomoimasu ka?”

You have challenged Kenshin to a duel.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
