After Angelina left, things started to get much more lighter the next day. She, knowing my correct intentions, quickly contacted Jacob and made a perfect apology. She was well-prepared enough to understand Jacob's personality. By the end of her apology, Jacob was moved and happy enough to completely forgive her.
The things that led to that were quite the sight to see. She quickly contacted Jacob's crush, easily dealt with all her problems, subtly played around with some wordings to quickly get on her good side, and spent a large amount of money and her connections to get the two lovebirds some great freedom and a trip.
With Angelina's understanding of women and men, she easily made a plan that quickly led to the girl and Jacob confessing their feelings and becoming a couple. Thanks to Angelina doing all this and getting them the best trip leave ever, the issue there was quickly resolved. Heck, Angelina went the extra mile to make sure to take care of the girl's family.
By the end of it all, she sent me a letter with just a question mark and a heart symbol at the end, her intention being plainly simple. I too just sent a letter with a smiley face drawn on it. But what will be the true fun will be how Angelina will have to try to get in contact with me more to somehow enter my dream.
She placed the mark to enter my dream world, but for her to get a pathway, the conditions I wrote must be satisfied. In normal cases, it is needed for all her assets, and in their case, it's quite easy for her as the conditions will be very simple thus making the use of her bloodline very useful. But for me, I had changed the conditions.
Her confusion must have burst out when she understood the conditions upon her return. Her expression truly was quite fun to see, but then again she has no choice but to fulfill them, and after going through the embarrassing routine of fulfilling them, it will be quite a sight to see the things I shall do to her in the dream world.
Anyhow, after her apology, things quickly cooled down between the two of us. Our factions took a seat back, with my faction having now shown its supremacy in both power and connections. In retrospect, my faction is now the most feared faction in all of Babylon.
Something of a legend is rising about myself, as I came late into the game, yet I rose to power greater than the ones who began long before me. Though the bit of downside is the amount of apprehension I am earning from my hidden enemies in both the light and dark.
The movements I made showed a glimpse into the powers I have within and outside the academy, a very heavy kind of power that quickly brought apprehension to all. After all, one can't begin to imagine the connections I must hold for me to quickly bring someone like Angelina to her knees both here and outside the world.
My connections are already telling me that a lot of people have started to poke into my background, especially the few years I spent outside traveling. Even a fool can understand that I have earned extremely powerful connections for my travel, for no simple son of a duke family can have enough power to affect even the situation within the demon realm.
Leaving aside the quick power and legacy I earned, things quickly became much better in the academy after my single fight and my faction fight. The single fight I took quickly cooled the bloated egos of all the new geniuses, while my domination in the faction war put me at the top of the favorites to win the war that is soon heading its way to the academy.
After a brutally heated fight, everything has now cooled down, bringing a semblance of peace and tranquility back to the academy. Though for others, it's a rest, for me, it's just another fight that I have to do.

A smile came to my face as I, along with my family, greeted Lora entering inside the room, followed by Olivia, who was dressed much better than she usually was. A very beautiful egal charm covered over her as she stepped gracefully into the room. The gown, in hues of royal blue and silver, cascaded down her figure, its intricate lacework and embellishments adding a touch of ethereal beauty.
The fabric shimmered as she moved, catching the ambient light in a dazzling display. The neckline of the gown dipped gracefully, revealing just a hint of her delicate collarbone. The sleeves, adorned with delicate lace, added an air of grace to her ensemble.
Her blonde hair, intricately styled, fell in gentle waves around her shoulders, and a tiara adorned with sapphires graced her head. As she moved, the soft rustle of her dress seemed to echo the grace and poise instilled in her by years of royal upbringing.
Beside Olivia, Lora Ezraeil, the Empress herself, exuded a different kind of allure. Her blue hair, falling to her shoulders, framed a face that held a certain enigmatic quality.
Lora's choice of attire was no less captivating. She wore a red dress that clung to her seductive body, emphasizing the curves that spoke of both power and allure. The gown, though regal in design, could not conceal the proud rise of her bosom or the confident stance of her figure.
"You seem to be growing more and more beautiful every day...."
My mother spoke as she moved forward to hug Lora, who hugged her back with the same calm face.
"I can say the same about you."
Lora replied as she hugged my mother back, the two of them sharing a huge for a moment, breaking it apart as Lora went forth to give some warm hugs to my sisters. Then she reached me, her eyes lighting up with lust and love, deeply hidden within her eyes as she hugged me too, her whisper filling my ears.
"I'm completely bare below~"
Her voice is seductive enough that no one would believe her tone as she leaves the hug. Meanwhile, my mother gave a light hug to Olivia while Olivia and Nora went on some talk. Soon, all of us sat in the room, getting deep into our talks, an amiable atmosphere filling the place as the guards that came along with Lora stayed outside.
Light drinks and snacks were given around as the talk went on for half an hour. Soon, everything settled down as my mother asked the important question.
"So what's the important thing you wanted to discuss with us as a family?"
As she asked this, she faced Lora, who was sitting opposite her on a sofa, me sitting beside my mother Grace, Elda taking the other side, while Olivia and Nora shared the same seat. The question brought silence to the room as Lora took a sip of her tea, her eyes trailing to me for a moment after which she placed the cup down on the table.
Her eyes found their way to my mother's as she spoke in a regal tone.
"I want to propose a union."
"A union?"
My mother asked back.
'Well, here it comes....'
"Yes, a union between Austin and Olivia, an engagement if I say so."
The heaviness of her words lay in the room, for a moment it seemed as if the world stopped moving. My mother looked at Lora, who seemed to not understand what Lora was saying. Elda, the most gentle of all, was the first to recover, a scowl of anger and disgust filling her face, one that I never thought that I would see.
While Nora seemed to be lost in the world, her mind seemingly grinding to a halt. All in all, everything seems as messed up as I imagined it to be.
"I-I seemed to have misheard, you want an engagement between Olivia and my son?"
My mother asked, seemingly begging for the answer to be different, and this time Lora seemed to be confused as she spoke.
"Indeed, it's not hard to say, the two of them are close, they know each other from their own childhood, and both of them have very high standing, beauty, power, and grace. Moreover, the union between the two of them will only make the Empire stronger."
Lora said, her words purely hinting at the betterment of the Empire, not as if she has the inner desire for the marriage to happen so that she can be close to me anytime and get fucked by me any time she wants.
'Gotta say, great poker face...'
I mused as the atmosphere got hotter.
