"Olivia, what's up?"
I asked, just as Olivia answered the communication orb. A few seconds of silence lasted between us, after which Olivia finally spoke.
"I want to discuss something important, and I want to do it face to face."
"Let's then. Tell me, when should I come over?"
I replied back, already having an idea of what she wanted to talk about.
"I'm busy dealing with some things here. How about we meet up tonight~"
In the end, a naughty whisper left Olivia's voice.
"Sure, let's meet up then."
I replied before and I canceled the call. Leaning against the chair, my mind started swirling, several different ideas passing through my mind. Right now, I have several women waiting in line for me to deal with and for them to deal with me. The things I do from now on should be in a controlled line such that it all comes up to the last end I want.
"Daddy, worried?"
Suddenly, Aria asked as she pulled at my shirt. Seeing her worried expression, I chuckled, once again finding the idea that I am worrying about how to deal with different women funny.
"Nothing, my little princess. I'm just thinking about things."
As I said so, I swiped Aria onto my lap, hugging her lightly as I tickled Aria, earning giggles from her that sounded like music to my ears. Just as I was playing with her, Clara walked into the room holding a communication orb used by my group. Clara's expression looked professional as she spoke.
"Austin, Princess Sabrina contacted the group again. She wants to meet you."
As she said so, I could see a teasing smile popping on Clara's face.
'Um...guess I might cover her up first.'
Smiling slyly a bit, I replied back to Clara.
"Give it to me."
Hearing my words, Clara walked up to me, passing me the orb.
"So you want to meet?"
I asked into the orb.
"Yes."
Sabrina replied with a gentle tone. Hearing this, I spoke with a teasing voice.
"Missing me already?"
"No, I just want to talk business."
Sabrina replied back without any fluctuation in her voice.
"Ouch, and here I was thinking we were close."
"We are close, close as two people with nothing to each other can be."
Hearing Sabrina's reply, I turned towards Clara, who seemed to be holding back from teasing me.
"Looks like me saving your life was for nothing."
"It wasn't. I will pay that back, and to start it, I would like to present these documents to you."
I paused for a moment, not saying anything till I did.
"Well, well, is this how you speak to your master, my maid?"
As I said this, a pause came, now from Sabrina's side. I smirked as I waited for Sabrina to reply while Clara now looked at me with a hidden glint, her mouth moving as she worded.
<Can I train her?>
I just gave her my natural smirk to that as Sabrina's voice soon was heard.
"Can I meet you, master?"
"Now isn't that much better?"
I teased, but she didn't fall for it as Sabrina spoke again.
"So can we meet up now, master?"
'Gotta give it to her, she has some great control over her emotions.'
"Sure, come here to my place. We make it a secret rendezvou, doesn't that get your heart beating?"
"Can I hang up now, master? I will meet you there soon."
"Sure."
I spoke, pushing anymore might not play well for me. Getting her affirmative nod, I cut the connection off, looking at Clara, I passed the orb to Clara, who asked me with a desiring voice.
"Can I please train her?"
"I will think about it. Also, you know what to do."
I replied after which Clara nodded her head and walked out of the room. Seeing so, I focused back on Aria, trying to make up to her for the time I wasn't close to her. With her fragile child mind, pushing her too much would be disastrous.
'Guess today's schedule is fixed.'
While thinking so, I looked at Aria and spoke with a gentle smile.
"Darling, now a very special girl will be coming here, and when she does, you have to hide yourself, okay?"
"Ok, Daddy!"
Aria readily agreed, after which I returned to playing with her.
.....
"You're looking healthy."
I said, seeing Sabrina stand in front of me. She looked beautiful as always with her platinum-shining hair and beautiful emerald eyes. The gentle aura of nature overwhelmingly wrapped around her, while her perfectly sculpted body shined over her dress, her elongated elven ear having a touch of exotic beauty.
"And you look well, master."
Sabrina replied with an expressionless face, trying her best to act like what she is doing doesn't affect her at all, but I know better. As someone who played her character, I know for better how this would be killing her.
"These are the documents sanctioning all those things you asked for, master."
Saying so, she walked up to me and placed the documents she took out on the table in front of me as she prepared to sit down. But I shook my head as I spoke.
"Not there, my beautiful maid. Why don't you first massage your master's shoulder?"
I could hear her teeth grinding, but she didn't reject it. With one fierce look at me, she went behind me and she started to slowly massage my shoulder with her fingers. She didn't have any technique, but it was nice to know the Elven princess of the Elven Empire is under my control.
"Everything is there. From now onwards, you enjoy the royal treatment of the Royal Bank, and you have access to the unfiltered files there."
Sabrina spoke as she kept massaging my shoulders. After enjoying it for a few seconds, I took the document and I started to read through it. Seeing the seal of the Elven royalty, I smiled and focused on the latter part of the document. Seeing no foul play, I replied.
"Good work. Now why don't you tell me what you got from him?"
My words caused Sabrina to pause for a moment, but then she continued her hand movement, the pressure from her hand increasing a bit. Both she and I knew that I asked about the very Elf that targeted her, one that was one of the Ring holders and one that was apprehended by the Elven Empire. The poor guy must have died a very tragic death.
"We got some useful information from talking with him, but he died when we tried to get something more informative."
Sabrina said, not explaining upon the meaning of what the 'talk' meant.
"So, did it increase your vigilance to everything around you?"
"It did, master."
Sabrina replied to my word, her movements getting faster as she continued.
"The things I got only gave me a part of the puzzle, but it didn't give me everything that I need. It's like looking at an empty picture, and it's making me feel irritated."
Hearing her words, I raised an eyebrow in surprise.
'It seems she is at the phase of lightly opening to me.'
Which was good, it means that I am at the midline of getting Sabrina's heart without revealing my connection to her favorite author. It would seem the crumbs I left behind for her to chase have made a good impression of me on her. After all, the more mysterious the man, the more intellectual women like her would want to crack it, and the more she would fall into a never-ending need for me.
"What do you want to know?"
I asked, keeping my eyes closed.
"Can you give me a hint as to where I should really look for?"
Sabrina replied.
'Playing around are we?'
"And what makes it seem that I would have information that the great Elven Empire doesn't?"
I asked again.
"A gut feeling, master."
Sabrina replied again.
"That is some powerful gut right there."
I chuckled as I said those words before leaning towards a calming silence, which lasted for a minute till I spoke again.
"If you want something, you need to pay for it, princess."
"What do you want?"
Sabrina directly asked. To this, a sly smile started to appear on my face as I responded.
"How about a date?"
