Chapter 417 The Future Ahead of Us
Helia gazed at the side profile of Asura's face. The corners of her mouth rose as she felt the sensation of his heart beating through their connected hands.
"What are you thinking about, My love?"
Asura's eyes flicked towards Helia, his piercing crimson iris shining from the rising sunlight. He slowly closed them while releasing a long sigh, his mouth forming a wide grin.
"I've been thinking about the future, which you are an integral part of," Asura said in an elegant and endearing tone.
"Oh my, Asura, you've recently become much more charming."
'Well, if I continued as I was, then it would make me scum unworthy of everyone's love.'
Helia smiled, her cheeks glowing a slight red in the sunlight, before leaning on Asura's shoulder. "Well, don't stop. Tell me more about this future you envision."
"There are going to be some hardships ahead, and I might even lack the strength to overcome them. But, for the sake of all those I've come to cherish, I will do everything in my power to stay alive and bring us closer to our dreams.
"Even when I'm at the precipice of death, I won't fall, and instead, I'll push forward so that we can build a vast family together. Everyone together, for those we lost back then and may lose in the future. So those who perished no longer worry about us."
"I see." Helia chuckled, her shoulders shaking from her laughter.
"Hmm, something funny?" Asura asked, arching an eyebrow.
"No, it's just... you were a real blockhead until now, but you've improved so much in such a short time. It makes me wonder what caused your awakening. Is it Noir, Sigurd or... maybe me?"Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Asura lightly grimaced. "Well, in the past, and until recently, my mind was too focused on the worst things. What in this world matters more than you and the others who love me and my family or people?"
"Family, hmm, are we going to start a family already?"
"Is that a bad thing?"
"Fufu, I wanted to enjoy the sex a little more first. How did you knock me up with one... well, four rounds?"
Helia glanced at Asura with a bright smile, and she cupped his chin, then brought it close so their noses were almost touching.
"Your libido has also increased, but I was sure that people with higher bloodlines struggled to become pregnant. It took my mother almost a decade for me and my sisters.."
"Weird, maybe we just have an amazing compatibility."
"Our bodies do." She added while letting her tongue lick across his lips. Her eyes narrowed into slits as she kissed him passionately.
Asura's right hand stroked her back while the left gently caressed her side before lifting her onto his lap and holding her tight in his embrace. Helia purred and broke their kiss, then asked, "Asura, will you use the same title I have for you?"
"Hmm, what do you mean, my love?"
Although he didn't need to, the Phoenix Glade's people and their lord held a very honest and trusting relationship. Thus, Asura chose this method.
Now, a few hours later, Asura stood in front of the village, along with his forces. This time, he rode inside a carriage with a shadow clone of Lucia, Sigurd, Helia, Rasha and Yufa. Because they came closer to the border, he wanted to get to know more about the arachne nation and the other tribes.
"Oh~ if it isn't our lover boy prince." Rasha's small body flicked her spider legs towards Asura while she looked away from him. Her face filled with displeasure, narrowed eyes, pouting lips and a lifted squinting nose.
"Hello, my beautiful spider princess. As always, your shines like the first snow on a winter's morning."
"Humph, don't think you can get on my good side with that cheap flattery. I know what you did with those women at night! Hmph! You ignored me for so long, I won't forgive you."
Asura raised an eyebrow and glanced at Helia, Sigurd and Lucia, who shrugged, then back to Yufa, who had a bright smile while blushing.
"Really, what did I do? Is it because you weren't invited to the party?"
"Yes, and... that's N-No! I am not that perverted!" Rasha protested, her hind legs spreading out as she became more adorable and shy.
"Oh~ what is it then, little spider? Come on, tell me." Asura teased with a sly grin while leaning towards the little spider girl. His lips came close to her pointed ears as she tried to crawl up the wall to avoid him; however, he snapped his fingers, causing the surface to become slippery as she fell onto his lap with a thud.
"Y-You!" She said, her eyes watering as her arms and legs clung to his body, making him unable to move.
"Calm down, now. I thought you wanted to be treated normally, and that includes teasing."
Meanwhile, watching him flirt with Rasha, the other women all looked at each other and shook their heads.
"Are you okay with this, Helliana? He only put you to bed last night, and he's seducing a spider girl."
"Aha~ don't tease me, Lady Sigurd, this is just how he is. I wouldn't be with him now if I couldn't accept that part of him."
"Mhm, true." Lucia, who controlled one of her shadow clones, agreed.
"Eh, really?!" Noir asked with a shocked look as she used her vines to copy the movements of Rasha's legs as she pretended to avoid Asura's lap.
"Y-you! Ahnn... wait, no, not there!"
Asura's fingers pressed into the centre of her back, near her humanoid waist and rubbed in circular motions. The lovely Rasha's body instantly went limp, her cheeks blushed, and she started drooling while unable to fight against his movements, the dull ache making her feel amazing.
Because the nerves of an arachnid's human body differed from a normal human, they needed more intense massage and care due to how sturdy their bodies were to endure their arachne form.
Rasha and Yufa were going to join this time as their mission was to act as guides through the area and, if needed, protect the convoy.
However, Asura knew that his true goal was to increase relations with the two during his mission and attempt to foil the Empire's plans.
'Will I be able to stop them without significant losses? Let's hope Gaius has some ideas, though Sigurd and Helia are here... it should be fine.'
