Dread Sovereign: Monster Girl Harem

Chapter 102 102: To You Who I Still Love





"Thank you very much! Please come again, Sir!" 

A beautiful voice chirped as Raven left the high-end clothing store; this time, it was not a suit for combat but a suit to meet his first love.

'This suit is the one she used to say I would look amazing in...'

"It's amazing what money can do."

Despite costing over 400 credits and 100 extra, he got the suit that Philis always used to mention as they walked past, but it was tailored with the newest magical techniques to be a perfect fit.

He grasped his black tie, with a shimmering purple diamond pattern, tightening it, as the white silk shirt, made from Arachne thread that was smooth, self-cleaning and could manage the temperature.

'Since earning money, I started spending more; it seems that no matter how much more you earn, the amount you spend also increases, so you barely notice the difference.'

Raven took his phone from the raven black suit jacket, the smooth pockets lined with dark purple velvet smooth to the touch.

These would stop anyone but his hands from entering with a strange magical rune on the underside.

"So cool..." He thought.

His fingers tapped the second number on the speed dial as it began to ring.

Brrr! 

Less than a moment, one single ring, and she picked up.

"Raven!?" Philis's worried, soft voice answered as he could hear her movements on the other side of the phone, bringing a smile to his face.

"Hello, Philis. Would you like to meet me somewhere different today?"

"Eh?" 

"I'll come to pick you up in an Ober, okay?"

"Are you sure? Won't that be expensive?"

He could feel the concern in her voice; maybe she didn't know how well he was doing, but the concern in her voice made his heart tremble.

'Ah, I still love you... even now, despite being a scumbag. I cannot let you go, Philis.'

Raven was too focused on his emotions and feelings, as he replied, like the past.

"You are worth it; I'll be there soon, so get ready."

"Eh... Mmmn... okay!" 

It was cute as she seemed to giggle away from the phone.

Maybe the dense him of the past might have mistaken her as being blunt or harsh, but now he could hear her little giggles; even the smile on her face seemed visible.

Philis's hushed voice entered his ear, causing his heart to throb. The calm, "I need to hurry... makeup, new perfume, will he like it!? Ah, I can't make him wait too long!!"

'How could I not understand such an obvious and cute woman...?'

"Raven... I am a little busy, so please come in 1 hour, okay!? (Ah... my nails aren't done... is that a chip.... what if he notices!?)." Her whisper made his face smile like the brilliant sun on his body.

Feeling so good, he couldn't help whispering, "I love you."

The moment it left his lips, his eyes widened, realising how important the women around him were to him. 

'In the past, I couldn't be honest with myself... I should thank Evelyn, and the past Lilith, the gates of bliss have helped me become honest with myself...'

Thankfully it seemed that she didn't hear his words as they spoke for several minutes, and then ended the call, as he booked an Ober to her home address.

"Well, let's hope I can fix our relationship tonight..." 

He looked down at the bookings tab of his datapad; the restaurant he picked was the place he wanted to save up for to propose to her before they broke up.

'Back then, I was worried about children, about being unable to provide for you...'

'Why was I so stupid? If I couldn't provide, I should have worked harder, shown you how I feel...'

-

Around 1 hour later.

Raven sat in the back of an executive VIP class Ober ride, the back seat was wide with lots of leg space, and because he was so huge, this was the only size he could fit like normal.

Beside him was Philis since she saw him. He helped her enter the car; she didn't speak; her beautiful eyes just watched him as they were almost shining with magic.

She only played with her fingers, the quiet ambience of the pianist's lament playing on the radio as the driver's glass window was closed for privacy.

'How can she become so beautiful in a few weeks!?'

His eyes would glimpse to the side, looking at her occasionally as she seemed to peek at him.

This continued for a few minutes as the car slowly advanced towards the high-end entertainment area, where the best hotels, like the Imperium and Le Relais de Arcadia, caused Philis to take a deep breath.

It honestly felt strange, although they were now broken up.

He didn't feel that way; this was why his heart was in turmoil; this was how she acted before all their dates in the past, only opening up once she got the words hidden in her chest out and could relax.

"Raven."

"Mmm?"

He turned to face her lovely face, her creamy fair skin watching him with her jewel-like eyes and soft blonde hair; how he wanted to kiss those light pink lips so badly.

"You look super handsome in that suit!" Philis almost shouted, her body shifting closer over the black leather seat as her long black dress with countless frills fluttered.

Her rocket breasts drooped as her lovely cleavage caused him to become enthralled for a moment.

'This girl still isn't wearing a bra!'

"Really?" He asked, with a deep voice, leaning closer towards her with a smile on his face, enjoying the sweet fragrance of her perfume.

"I think you look more beautiful than I've ever seen before; not only is your perfume a perfect match... your lipgloss makes you look like a princess lost in the urban city of Arcadia..."

"Fufu~ then you must be a rugged orc prince... here to sweep me off my feet or kidnap me for marriage, right?" 

Her body leaned ever closer; she could feel his hot breath against her cheeks while her hands touched his, pulling away for a moment before slipping back.

Emerald green and neon blue interlocked in the back of the VIP Ober as their breaths intertwined, fingers stroking each other.

"Raven..."

"Ah...?"

"Did you mean what you said on the phone?"

Her words were so sudden, his mind trying to remember what he said as she leaned closer, those gem-like eyes now filling his vision, as her soft breath blew onto his lips, brushing her tiny nose against his.

'Philis...'

Within a millisecond, Raven realised that she had heard his words on the phone, as her eyes closed, leaning up as if asking for a kiss.

Raven didn't wait, as he moved to answer her desire, before suddenly the car stopped, making both of them shake and fall into each other's arms, as the raspy voice of the driver sounded.

"Dear customers, we have arrived at your destination." 

Philis looked mortified as she slowly began to pull away, her eyes looking sad.

'Nope, not having this dumb cliché!" 

He grabbed her hand before shouting out. "Give us ten minutes; I'll pay you a 50% tip!" Ignoring the happy reply from the driver, he looked into the wet emerald eyes of his first love, a former lover and the woman that still held a large part of his heart.

"I meant it." 

Raven pulled her towards him, wrapping his strong arm's around her body and lifting her chin with his thumb.

"I love you."

"I've never stopped loving you or regretting letting you go."

"I should have worked harder to give you the desired happiness!"

Philis pushed herself against his body, feeling his heart racing as she smiled softly; this man was more important to her than she let him feel.

It was a moment of regret she always felt, never telling him how much she loved him, nor how secure and peaceful just being close was for her.

"I've always loved you."

"Even when I left... I made sure to leave many things that would remind you of me... make you come back to me one day..." Philis whined as she grasped his wrists tightly.

"Then why did you not tell me?!" He gasped, grasping her hands and holding them up to his chest. "Why didn't you ever say anything? Why wait until now?"

"Because I was afraid... if I told you, then you would have come back to me, or maybe you might feel disgusted, so I kept quiet... but when I saw you that day... everything inside my heart exploded, leaving me unable to hold back, no matter if you were with another woman, I couldn't stop my feelings!"

"You are mine, Philis; I will never let you go again!"

She squeezed his hands with both of hers, her lips on his cheek as she whispered.

"I love you, and I am yours alone." She cried out before he pressed her against the backrest, holding her hips tight.

The kiss was passionate, their tongues intertwining, the taste of her mouth sweetening to his tongue.

He held her body tight against him, kissing her neck as they held each other close before slowly pulling away and panting for air; her eyes were dreamy, filled with affection.

Philis looked at him, her heart pounding as she almost needed to gasp for air, never expecting this moment to come so soon.

"You are so handsome now, you were awesome, and now you are super awesome, fufu~ my little elf heart is racing so fast, feel it."
