Chapter 852 Greem’s Intentions
Alice chose to personally welcome Greem at the door of the teleportation room.
She couldn’t help but giggle when she saw Greem’s severe and solemn expression.
“What are you so tense about? Could you be here to fight a war?”
Greem raised an eyebrow and spoke with a double entendre, “I am here to fight a war!”
Alice froze for a moment first, before breaking into a laugh.
All these years of luxury, authority, and experience had caused Alice to lose her past naivety quickly. She had become more mature and beautiful while also having learned how to keep her thoughts to herself.
As she let out unrestrained laughter, the palm-sized elementium fairy, Helen, emerged from Alice’s hair.
Alice grabbed the still ranting Helen and cut off her resonance with the elementium pool of the tower. She then flicked her on the forehead as punishment, and this meaningless ‘battle’ finally came to an end.
“This isn’t some opening act the two of you came up with ahead of time, is it?” Greem couldn’t help but scratch his nose as he asked with a bitter smile.
If his power were even slightly weaker during that short ‘battle,’ he would have been forced to kneel on the ground. When that happened, he would be a bit lacking in confidence to come here and conquer Alice.
“Well, you’re the one who wanted to come and bully me after you gained some new abilities,” Alice complained with some resentment on her face.
Greem couldn’t help but be slightly surprised, “You…already know my purpose in coming here?”
“Hmph! Isn’t it to make Alice your little lover? You wish.” The little fairy Helen waved about her fists furiously in Alice’s grasp.
If it weren’t for Alice, she would probably have charged forward and treated Greem to a full martial combo.
Greem smiled awkwardly.
That was indeed his primary purpose in coming here!
Greem was not at all interested in whatever fancy romance and dream-like courtship there was out there. His only thought now was how to get Alice into bed and turn her into his woman.
Alice might have shown a lot of feelings for him over the years, but no amount of ‘spoken’ romance could be more firm and solid compared to an actual relationship of the flesh. That was why Greem had indeed intended to establish their relationship under the guise of sending news of his advancement.
This way, he would no longer need to spend time guessing at the nature of their relationship!
With the power of fate at her fingertips, Alice knew perfectly what Greem had been thinking. She was both shy and angry, but there was also a trace of sweetness contained within the anger. Alice couldn’t get used to this complicated feeling. In the end, she could only glare at Greem wickedly and helplessly said, “Come with me! There are some things I should make clear to you now.”
“Don’t go with him. That lousy guy’s just waiting for the chance to pounce on you!” The little fairy stretched her neck and shouted out loud.
Two blushes of red flashed on Alice’s face. She once again flicked Helen on the forehead before whispering a few words in her ear and letting go.
Helen stopped making trouble. She glared at Greem before beating her wings and disappearing into the distance, leaving behind a trail of fairy dust.
“You come with me!” Alice sighed softly and led the way.
Greem followed behind her. He couldn’t help but be enchanted when he saw her swaying hips as she walked in front of him.
Alice might not be as sexy as Mary, but she was a rare beauty as well.
These years of nobility, authority, and luxury had caused Alice to cultivate a unique charm and style. There were the innocence and passion of a young girl, yet also the maturity and sturdiness of having experienced the world. The various bewitching aspects to her personality would cause someone to fall in love unknowingly.
Unfortunately, and to Greem’s disappointment, Alice didn’t lead him to her room, but the astrology platform at the top of the Tower of Fate.
It was currently the time when the golden sun was at its brightest and most blinding. The astrology platform was now a sea of gold, and nothing was obstructing the vision when looking out from here.
The mysterious array embedded beneath the floor of the platform had slowly activated after sensing Alice’s arrival, turning the surrounding walls transparent. It allowed the person conducting the astrology ceremony to see all the stars above with a single glance.
It was the first time Greem had come to see Alice’s astrology platform. He couldn’t help but be stunned in awe.
He could imagine the sight of Alice, standing alone on this astrology platform in the dead of night when the stars were at their brightest. That mesmerizing silence, that immeasurable depth of the skies above, and that strange feeling of being thrust into that endless space. It must be very, very lovely!
Still, regardless of how beautiful the platform was, it couldn’t possibly be a good place for romance, could it?
Greem grumbled angrily.
