The Conquerors Path

I stayed in that embrace, taking in the warmth as all my complex feelings floated toward Mira. I needed to keep her focused and trend around as best as possible. Once she started to piece things together, things could start to get troublesome for me, for she is not a stupid woman at all, and once she began to think, things can get very dangerous.

I mean, there still lay some loopholes within how things had come to be, the way I had hidden it well from Mira, the way that it didn't come up yet, how I hung around her, desired her even when Scarlett was focusing on me. If Mira keeps her mind to it, then a lot of things that don't match would come to be.

And the only way that can happen is by some amazing impossible coincidence, or I was hiding it very well from her, and it's at this position that the emotion transfer plays its part and helps me achieve to keep my 'innocence'. After all, with the feelings that I showed her and her knowing me, it would be very much impossible for her to even imagine the fact that I was even involved in this.

I mean, of course, a time would come when she would question it, feeling doubts, but it would go as fast as it came due to the very reason she knows me the most in the world and that she can feel my emotions. There would be doubts, yes, but her feelings and trust in me will pull things through for me, helping bridge some of the loopholes and questions she might have.

Like how did I work so well hiding the fact from her? Like how she didn't feel or see any sort of unhappy emotions from me regarding this issue? How she didn't sense it, how I seemed to have hidden it from her, and many more are things that don't look right at all, but if she takes her time and sits down, then I have laid the path perfectly for her.

Plus, Mira is extremely important for my goal to have my family know about my 'situation'. After all, I can't just walk up to them and talk about it now, can I? Not after everything we have done. It would only cause an issue of trust that would have small cracks in it. Unlike Mira, they 'can't' feel my emotions, which makes them very susceptible to feeling as if they were lied to.

But to Mira, I am an 'open' book, which always keeps her confidence in me, helping me to keep her trust at all times. Now, I need Mira to help me keep that trust with my family while manipulating things from the back. With Mira taking the lead, I will finally be able to 'confess' to my family about my issues.

And by playing my card well, I will even be able to play an uno reverse and make my family be filled with guilt. After all, here I was, running left and right, giving them happiness, and they, seemingly in love with me, couldn't even see the fact that I was struggling, that I was being forced into things, and yet I stayed happy and loving for them.

'Ohhhhhhh boy, that is a fun game I am going to play.'

As I mused at that thought, Mira, seemingly feeling that I was a lot better, pulled my head from her chest, her gaze loving as she spoke.

"Don't worry about it all, my love, as you just told me, we will deal with it all together, whatever it may be that comes our way."

I smiled at those words of hers as I leaned my head against her chest once more, feeling its softness as I spoke.

"I know, that's why I haven't fallen yet. Knowing that I have you make the world and its tough battles all the worth for me because I know I am fighting to keep your happiness."

+3000 affection!

I smiled inwardly at the extra points, now already a master at the sweet talks I continued. "I never wanted to hide it from you or lie about it; it's my fault, after all. I am quite the trash. Here I was, having feelings for you, fighting for you, yet having found small happiness from Sonia while a dragon was forcing me to date her. I should be happy, shouldn't I? So why do I feel not happy at all?"

My words hinted at Mira, who held me tighter, hearing both my words and the overwhelming emotions flowing into her, her lips placing light kisses all around my head as she spoke.

"A normal man might have been overjoyed or jumping about it, but my love, you just love with all your heart, and I know better than anyone how dedicated and loyal you are. It's just how you are, and I love you the most for it, so don't drown yourself in guilt for being in love, for I know that I don't regret falling in love with you at all."

Her words made my emotions overflow to her with a great amount of love as I hugged her tighter, the two of us just sitting that way as time passed all around us, soon a small happiness blooming as the wind blew past us.

"For now, don't worry about anything, and just get some rest. I will see what I can do." These were the last words I heard from Mira before I left the dean's room, back in the academy. To say she is fuming would be an understatement. I, in a sense, have never seen Mira more angry than she is now, which means a lot of hell is about to be let loose, which also means that I have to get ready to placate the feelings of my family, which would soon burst.

'But before that, I need to deal with the rat situation.'

A lot of things still need to be done within the academy itself, but before that, there is still one main thing I have to deal with outside the academy. Thus, with a smile, I used my pass to exit the academy, soon walking through the streets of the floating city, where the power level of each species passing by is above Origin level 5.

The gathering of the most powerful powers of the world is here, with several organisations, open and secret, having their headquarters here. And in my plans, there are some I should go to and deal with, but right now, a more important duty lay, one I should have dealt with some time ago as I reached the Archery association.

My gaze was still in awe of the structure before me, built beautifully, and the moment I stepped into it, the powerful gazes of all flooded to me, with my disguise falling. The moment it happened, Noel appeared in front of me, his respect for me at an all-time high. Everything I have shown is beyond what I show the world. Hence, his respect and loyalty are the greatest for me.

"Young leader, everything is set, the QuiverLords awaits at the meeting room."

I nodded my head at him, my presence flowing out as the eyes of everyone focused on me as I started to walk, their awe and loyalty for me something I earned on my own from my work here and my reputation as the most wanted man in the whole world right now, just me walking around, raising their pride for the Archery association.

My steps resounded through the place, as the aura that I keep within myself to show respect to the academy was now fully blown. Right now, I wasn't a student at the Babylon Academy, no, I was the future leader of the Archery Association walking within the main tower in the

Babylon City.

Hence, my aura fully flowed out from my body, encasing me, small tremors all around me as I walked forward, a special pressure forming around me, an attractive aura of beauty and power rushing forth as I passed everyone that moved around me, while Noel respectfully walked behind me, his respect for me only increasing as I got into the elevator.

The special guards at the elevator opened for me, one only the highest could use, as it started to move to one of the very top floors where the meeting was taking place, the humming sound soon dying down as the lift room opened, my eyes meeting at the very special meeting room that can only be called by my master or me.

As I stepped out of the elevator, I felt the extreme pressure all around me, the pressure of the unique ones at the top of the world, the origin level power of 10 with their own unique power encasing the room as I walked into it.

'Though it seems some of them have broken into a half-step Imperial and are hiding it.'

Musing at the feeling of power around, my gaze saw the gathered QuiverLords, this time in

the flesh.
