Aditya couldn't keep his eyes open. He somehow teleported back to the Dragon Palace. With his eyes closed, he somehow found the bed and the comfortable pillow under his head. Just as he lay down, he fell into a deep sleep, not realizing that he had made a big mistake.
Alicia's Pov_____
'I wish I could support Aditya in this war in any way.' The goddess of Wealth proposed using her wealth and the connections she has built over the years to help Aditya win this war. She was already helping Aditya by using her Guild to help the Istarin Empire gather information about the enemy Empires. Through her guild, the shadow guardians gain free entry to any enemy cities without having to sneak inside the city or use disguise both methods involved much more risks.
At first, Alicia wanted her father to send troops to help Aditya. But since this war is an internal matter of the Dying Isle continent, outside forces were not allowed to get involved. But she could still help him indirectly. What's the use of having so much power and money, when she can't even help the people close to her when they are in desperate situations? But he refused any help from her saying the following words.
『? ?m re?ll? ????? ?o ??ve ?o?r ?n? o??er? b????n? on ????. ??? ?or now, ? ?on'? re???re ?el? from ?n?one. ?f ? ever were ?o re???re ?n? ??n? of ?el? or ???????n?e, ? wo?l? ???ro??? ?o? before ???ro????n? ?n?one el?e. ??o??? ??ere ?? ?ome???n? ???? ? w?n? ?o? ?o ?o.』
Hearing these words, the goddess was extremely happy. He melted her heart with these words.
In the end, Aditya asked Alicia to spread their battle results throughout every corner of the Northwestern region.
By Controlling the flow of information, the Istarin Empire will be able to spread fear among the Oracle Alliance member Empires. Tension among the common class people will slowly start to build up. If the war lasted for weeks, then the people's unrest would have slowly grown into fear and panic. This would have affected not just the common class people but also the people with other professions.
The trade and other activities with other regions and continents would have slowed down or stopped. Controlling the flow of information also would have given the Istarin Empire the ability to control public opinion to a certain extent.
The joint economy of the Oracle Alliance would have suffered devastating impacts during and after a time of war. Negative unintended consequences occur either concurrently with the war or develop as residual effects afterward thereby impeding the economy over the longer term. Everyday activities of the Oracle Alliance would have been disrupted and property might have been damaged. When people become misplaced, they cannot continue to work or keep their businesses open, causing damage to the economy of the countries involved.
"Recently, my mother has been pestering me to return home. I am tired of this. Alicia, can you please do something to keep my mother busy?"
Sitting on the chair, the goddess looked very distressed when talking about her mother. Ever since Riya came to live here, her mother has been constantly trying to make her come back. But Riya didn't want to go back so soon. It only has been a few months since she came to live here.
Since leaving the Main continent, Riya never went out of The Celestial Terrain. The goddess had grown up there. Even though she wished to go out and explore other continents, her over-protective mother always stopped her from going.
Growing up, Riya never saw her father. She only had her mother. And her mother only had Riya. Both of them supported each other emotionally. Both mother and daughter pair is really close. There weren't any secrets between the mother and daughter duo.
Now that the goddess had come here, Her mother must have been feeling very lonely.
Hearing Riya's words, Alicia raised her eyebrow and gave Riya a silent look.
????!
Riya sighed feeling slightly annoyed and tried about this whole matter. "Every single day she is sending me multiple letters. At first, I tried to ignore her letters but now it was becoming impossible to do so as she has been sending multiple letters each day."
On the other hand, Julia was working. She made Lara lie down and then she began to carefully inspect her Mana veins to see if there was any problem with her body.
Each person and Magic magic in this world had mana veins in their bodies. It was Mana veins that allowed Mana to circulate throughout the whole body and also allow all beings to draw pure Mana from the atmosphere to cultivate.
Mana veins were connected to the Mana Heart which is the storage and main organ that allows a cultivator to draw pure mana from the atmosphere.
Lara was observing the interaction between Alicia and Riya. The more time she spends with her future sisters, the more comfortable she felt with them. Each sister had a distinct character and personality.
"Why do I feel as if you're trying to run away from your mother? Are you hiding something from us?" Hearing this even Julia also paused and looked at Riya.
"I just want to stay here and spend more time with my beloved."
The Ethereal Empire's princess grinned evilly as she took out a letter that was inside a blue envelope. "Do you know what it is?"
"What?" The goddess asked back innocently.
"This is an invitation letter."
Riya still failed to understand what Alicia was hinting at. But Lara and Julia already understood. Knowing this both girls had smiles on their faces.
"Who are you planning on inviting?" Riya curiously asked.
"You know I feel bad for your poor mother who wants nothing but to see her daughter. So I have invited Her Highness to the Istarin Empire. I am sure she would be more than happy to come here and see her daughter."
Hearing this Riya became agitated. "If you dare to send this letter to my mother, then I will tell Aditya your little secret." Hearing this Alicia's face visibly paled. This made Julia and Lara very curious.
"What secret are you talking about? Share it with us." Julia asked with a soft smile. Alicia is probably the smartest one in this room. It is extremely hard to win against her in any debate or in any argument. It was even harder to make Alicia lose her calm.
This secret could be the weapon that Julia could use if she finds herself losing against Alicia.
"No don't" Alicia wanted to stop Riya but she couldn't. After all, Riya was the strongest one in this room. The Ethereal Princess can't stop the Nature goddess through force.
"Despite looking so innocent and virtuous, our sister Alicia is secretly a pervert."
"What?" Seeing Julia and Lara's shocked faces, Alicia's entire face turned red from embarrassment. She buried her face in between her palms.
Seeing Alicia like this, Riya was very happy. With a beautiful smile, she continued. "Whenever she is alone in her room, she is always masturbating. I have even found many dirty novels in her bedroom."
The revelation was very shocking to Julia and Lara. Neither of them would have guessed that Alicia is secretly a pervert. After all, The Ethereal Empire's princess was basically perfect. She is beautiful, intelligent, and wealthy. She can handle herself almost in any situation. No one has ever seen her undisturbed. She always keeps the situation under her control. When she is working she is very professional. There was always an Aura of nobility and elegance around her. No one would ever think even in their wildest dreams that Alicia is a pervert.
"Please stop....!!!!" A small voice reached the ears of the other three. Alicia was very embarrassed and ashamed. She was regretting her decision of leaving her bedroom door unlocked.
Not even her personal maid knows about this. That day, after a long day of work, Alicia laid down and decided to read her favorite Erotic novels. Reading Erotic Novels is a hobby of hers. This was her biggest secret. She never told a single soul about this. Not even her best friend knew about this.
After masturbating, she fell asleep. She completely forgot to clean the mess that she had made. And that morning Riya came to wake her up in the absence of her personal maid who had returned to Westnia to complete Alicia's orders. Riya saw everything. She even read a page of her erotic novel.
'It's over. My reputation...my image and everything.' Alicia was regretting the mistake she made. Alicia read erotic novels to relieve her stress. Over time, she had become found herself slightly addicted and unable to stop.
Nowadays, she imagines Aditya while masturbating.
"Alicia, there is nothing to be ashamed about. You don't need to feel embarrassed." Hearing this she raised her head and looked at Julia who was speaking like an old woman with thousand years of experience.
"Each of us has an inner face that we don't show to anyone. That inner face may be our deepest desires or hobbies or wishes, or hidden personalities. I believe in order for us to come even closer as a Family and connect emotionally as sisters, we need to talk about such matters. It's a matter of time before all of you do it with Aditya."
Hearing these words, Alicia wanted to hug Julia. Instead of teasing her, Julia comforted her.
And then the girls had a secret conversation. Julia gave Alicia to speak about her experiences. Other than Lara who mostly listened, the girls shared experiences and laughed together.
Around a few hours later, Alicia went back to her work. While Riya went to cultivate. Julia was still working in her lab and Lara was accompanying her.
Since Aditya didn't join them for dinner, the family had dinner without him and everyone went back to their bedrooms.
?l???!
"A cold shower before sleeping is the best." The goddess walked out of the washroom with a white towel wrapped around her.
This time she learned from her mistake and made sure to lock the door. The whole room was dark. She lit a candle and placed it on the table which was next to her bed.
Lying down, she took out her favorite book and began to read with an excited look. As she began reading, her face flushed from excitement. She was rubbing her thighs together while reading and also imagining herself and Aditya in that scene in her mind.
???! ???!
Suddenly someone came into her bedroom. Alicia was startled to see a shadow suddenly appearing in her room out of nowhere. Soon she calmed down as she realized that it was Aditya. While Alicia was frozen in shock, Aditya just laid down on the other side of the bed and fell asleep.
Seeing him, there were so many questions in her head. But she also realized that this was a golden opportunity for her. Tonight, Aditya was all hers.
Really Thank you very much to all those who sends support with valuable golden tickets. I hope we can keep it up!!!
