The Conquerors Path

Chapter 738: Chapter 737-I Promise.



"I know better how much jealousy and envy would fall upon me if I am too great. People in control will always try to eliminate any variables that can take away their control, no matter how much they will have to suffer doing so."

I spoke with a smile as I replied to the words my mother had spoken, she nodded at that as she replied:

"You are right, and it's best that what you can do doesn't leave the premises of the ones you fully trust until you have reached a level of strength where even the war council will tremble when thinking of moving against you."

'For that, I just have to reveal my status, that's all.'

Once the status I hold as the holy child of both Razellia and Orpheus is known, things would clear up on their own because, at that point in time, there would be no one-I mean, no one- more influential and powerful than me.

"Brother, do you have any plans for the war council?"

Elda suddenly asked, making me chuckle inwardly.

'The little beauty that acts naive is slowly showing her fangs... huh?'

Among the ones gathered here, Elda is the one who can have the most power at her fingertips. Once she masters her power fully, she will be a healer respected by all, and with the Church of Life supporting her as the next saintess, she will reach a level of power that no one will be able to dream of, for I will make sure of it.

"I have my own plans for them, and even if not, there is a status that I have yet to yield to the outside world. A status that I haven't told anyone of yet. A status powerful enough that once it's known to the world, the war council and any other powers will take a step back on their own."

I could see the faces of my family drawing tight at my words, the depth of that one secret pushing their boundaries to the limit, and before they could ask, I responded:

"And no, I can't speak about it, and it's not because I don't want to. It's because I am not allowed to yet, but when I am, you all will be the first ones I will tell that truth to."

My words reduced the suspicion that had surrounded the room. It's better to keep things like this in the open as much as possible because my status will indeed come out one day, and I don't want to leave them feeling that I had lied to them-or worse, that I'm capable of lying to them heavily and badly.

Because once the presence is set in a relationship where your significant other can lie to you, especially about something big, it would be very difficult to put full trust in them after that, no matter how hard the other tries. So I need to leave some gaps here and there at times, with truths available to all. Plus, I already have my own big plan of revealing everything with the whole "holy child" thing.

"Well, well... well, isn't my son full of mystery... huh?"

My mother spoke with a light laugh as she ruffled my hair, to which I responded:

"In a relationship, I think it's good to always have some mystery here and there; it always keeps the spark alive."

"Humph!... sweet-tongued!"

Nora muttered with a light tone, making all of us in the room chuckle. Elda took the lead as she asked:

"How can I help you with this, brother?"

Her words being direct and her desire transparent for me to see, I opened my eyes, meeting Elda's gaze, and she took my gaze in stride.

"All I need for you is to be happy, safe, and to be with me till the end of everything. Just your presence and love for me are enough to make me go through any hardship I need."

'Once again, hooray for the cliché novels and dialogue! Also, hooray for this being a bit of a backward fantasy world!'

I could see that my words affected Elda. She was both extremely happy and a bit pissed, which looked to be very cute on her face. Seeing this, I opened my arms up, still laying on my mother's lap, to which my little sister didn't hesitate to jump toward me, her body falling over me as she hugged me tight.

The unique scent of nature that belonged to Elda filled my nose, while her soft yet supple body pressed against me as I hugged Elda back, her body fully relaxing in my embrace as I heard Elda mutter.

"Sniff...sniff...big brother scent is the best...."

Her happiness purely in her time she hugged me harder and pressed her head against my chest, turning my eyes I could see the jealousy that flashed through the eyes of my mother and my older sister, the extremely similar look they had for a moment making me chuckle as my hand went to Elda's waist pulling a bit to the side as I made some space on the other side ton/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

my body.

: "Come"

Is all I said as I looked at Nora, who though pouting moved as quickly as Elda to latch to my side, her body falling to the left of my side as she lay on the sofa, her head on the left side of my chest, the feeling of my elder sister body being very compact and more toned than Elda, with its own charm and beauty to it.

'Rose'

I thought as the scent of Nora entered my nose, her breasts pressing roughly against my chest. With a smirk, she hugged me tight, just like Elda. The two of them covered both my sides with their softness and love for me. I felt the softness of my mother's lap on her thighs, my hands going to hold both their waists, feeling its softness as I placed kisses on both their foreheads.

"I love you two."

I spoke after the kiss, feeling their bodies tremble in my embrace as my hold on their waist tightened, the previous embarrassments and awkwardness they had when they tried to show their emotions to me in front of my mother now fully evaporated as they seemingly tried to become one with me with their hugs.

"I know you all worry about me, and no matter what I say, you will all remain worried, and I know above that you feel the helplessness of not being able to help me..."

I could see the effect of my words on them, mainly on my mother, who bit her lips silently. Seeing so, I slowly started to pat their waists, providing a calming feel as I continued to

speak.

"I also know how much all of you desire to help me out in any way you can. I also want it, to have you all with me all the time is something I dream of and something I work towards. There is nothing I would love to do more than spend all my time with you all, but there are some things that only I can do, which makes it all hard."

I felt Elda and Nora hold onto my shirt as I reached their sentence, their desire matching with my words as I spoke.

"Though I can't tell you all everything, I can at least promise you this much: that I will try to tell you guys things as much as I can, things that worry me, and when I need help or when I meet things I won't be able to deal with alone, I will definitely try to reach out and ask your help. Now that is a promise I can give you."

Both the bodies of my sisters calmed down at my promise, their eyes trained upwards as they met mine. Looking at the light blushes on their faces and their stunning beauty and cuteness,

I smiled as I went forth to place another kiss on their foreheads as Nora, with narrowed eyes,

spoke.

"You better stick to those words, 'cause if I find you hurt or something worse, I don't know what I will do..."

Her words had a dark tone to them, which made me smile, while Nora, nodding at her elder sister's words, spoke.

"Me too, I want to help you as much as I can. I don't like to see you get hurt at all. In fact, I don't want you to be a hero! I just want you to be my big brother! But I know that won't happen, so I just want you to be safe as much as you can, and if you ever get hurt, I hope to be there by your side to help you and... to hurt back the one that hurt you."

As Elda whispered those last words, I saw her eyes darken, while a certain dangerous feeling flashed from her. That innocent, light-like aura around her had turned dark and weary for a moment before it turned back to normal.

'In terms of helping me, I already have a Yandere dragon Empress and a Yandere dragon Princess that will turn empires into nothing if I get hurt, not to mention a Yandere normal

dragon with amazing talent.'

Even in that, I haven't even mentioned the two Yandere goddesses: one a lover and another a lover/mommy that will go batshit crazy and blow up perhaps even the realm if anyone hurts

me.

'Huh... when you think of it like that, I can't be hurt, can I?'

Though I thought of this, I quickly shook off that thought, for I still remember the feeling of

death that had come over me back in that basement of Shira's home. I was still not fully safe...
