Chapter 136: Consoling My Childhood Friend

"Welcome back, Arthur. It seems you get another girl with you."

"Hahaha, I am back."

I greeted Emilia back in my room, sitting on the bed with a smile as she looked at me entering while carrying an unconscious girl.

Approaching the bed, I put Ria down and fed her with [Sleeping Pill] to keep her sleeping for at least a day until tomorrow. After that, I felt a tug on my sleeve and looked to the side, facing Emilia.

"Eliza cried." She spoke with a flat expression.

"When the maid with braided hair came while wearing something really open, bikini and apron, and showed the recording of Baron Rose having sex with a prostitute while thinking of her as his daughter, Eliza instantly cried, and Madam Vivian was mad." She continued.

I knew something like this would happen, but hearing that Eliza cried because of my plan made me feel rather bad. I especially told Linda that Eliza shouldn't see the recording, but did she forget about it? She didn't even change her clothes.

That maid must have been in a hurry and forgot about what I told her. And I couldn't really blame her for that, but...

Anyway, I should meet her and console her. She needed someone else's presence now, or she would grow distrust in men.

"Where is she now?" I asked, raising my brows.

I could always check with my radar, but asking Emilia was something that reflexively came out of my mouth.

"I believe she's in her room. Madam Vivian is also in her own room, trying to cope with this." She responded, smiling widely. "Is this it, Arthur? Are you going to console her and make her fall for you? What a bad man you're."

"That's the initial plan, but I should meet with Eliza first," I said, changing my clothes.

What I wore right now were low-quality clothes I used to enter Border City, though that wouldn't be necessary anymore in the future.

And while getting Vivian's favor and making her mine was my goal of visiting this city, I couldn't let Eliza be sad either. So consoling my childhood friend came first.

'I need to make her trust me. Maybe this is the time to use that on her as a sign that I will stay by her side in this lifetime. I just need her to agree with me.'

"Fufufu." Emilia giggled playfully behind me as I walked toward the exit. "Make sure to give them a lot of love~ I will watch this wolf girl for you."

I stopped after I opened the door and looked over my shoulder with a smile. "I will. They will become your companions shortly."

"That's great news. But don't forget your first woman is me, and visit me every day to give me some of your love, too, okay?"

"Hahaha, yeah." I laughed and exited my room.

'Let's see.'

According to my radar, Eliza's room was close to mine on the second floor, while Vivian's room was right on top of Eliza's.

Vivian was still with Linda, probably asking her about the details. So my decision to visit Eliza first was the right one.

***

Knock knock!

"Eliza, can you open the door for me?"

I stood in front of Eliza's room and looked at the locked double door. There was no answer, even though I had already knocked and called on her a few times.

Of course, I had already made sure that Eliza was inside. In fact, I could hear a sob from the room. She was still crying and purposely ignored my call.

This worried me a little. She had never once ignored me in the past, even when she was sulking. It just showed how the news damaged her mental health.

'Well, her father hired a prostitute while having that said girl act like his daughter. Of course, she would be sad and hurt by the fact.'

I admitted that part of it was my fault for planning something like this to fasten my progress of getting Vivian's favor, but... Right. I shouldn't blame Linda for showing the recording in front of Eliza.

Probably she didn't mean to and only wanted to show it to Vivian. Knowing Eliza, she must have been curious and decided to take a look at it; then she saw her father on the screen projected by the recording gem.

"Hey, Eliza. If you don't open this door for me, I will enter forcefully, you know?"

No answer again. I sighed and took out my [Shadow Cape].

Destroying this door would be the fastest way to enter. But that was too brute, and I had another way to enter without destroying it. Besides, if I destroyed the door, there would be nothing to keep people walking in the corridor to see the room, and I'd like to avoid that.

So infiltrating her room just like I did to Emilia on my first day was the best choice. I entered the shadow with [Shadow Cape]'s effect and went inside through the gap between the door and the floor.

And when I entered, there I saw Eliza clutching to her bed, sobbing while holding her legs. Her dress was stained in tears, and so was her thighs.

I showed myself beside the bed and hugged her gently from behind.

"Sob... Arthur?"

"Yeah."

"... Why are you here? Sob... Why have you just come here now?"

"I'm sorry."

Without even looking behind her, Eliza immediately knew that it was me. She also cried harder, holding my hands, which held her softly under her breasts.

"Sob... Idiot Arthur! Do you know how sad I was... Did you already know about what my father did?!"

"I know." I replied honestly. "Sorry for hiding it from you."

"Idiot! Sob... You... you're really an idiot! I hate you!"

"Sorry."

There was nothing more I could do except for saying that. Currently, Eliza was fragile and weak. Even if she was Level 32, which was already strong in this world, her mind was fragile. She needed support, and I would become that support for her.

That was why I would accept anything she said and wouldn't say anything to counter her. Eventually...

"Sob... Promise me." Eliza turned around, still in my hug, and looked at me with a face full of tears. "Promise me that you will stay with me! Not cheating on me with a random woman!"

"That's a tall order," I replied to her honestly, not hiding what I had in mind. "You know that as a Paladin, I also have a duty to leave my descendant, no? And I have dominated a few women before."

"I know but... I mean, with a prostitute! Don't touch those sluts." She continued, raising her voice. "And also... Make me feel special, Arthur. You can dominate me, right? Make it proof of our promise! That you will stay with me forever!"

I could see resolution in her eyes as she wiped her tears. My eyes widened in surprise at that. Was she serious?

"Are you sure?" I asked with a serious face. "Dominating you mean..."

"I'll be unable to defy your order, I know." Eliza finished my sentence.

"I understand that, and... seeing teacher Emilia that happy, become your lover, having a special relationship with you, makes me quite jealous of her. So I also want to be special! So dominate me, Arthur! I love you! I lied about hating you! I..."

"You don't need to say anything more." I hugged her tight and buried her face in my chest. Well, that was totally unexpected, and I couldn't control my grin, so I did this so she didn't see it.

Her soft breasts were pressed against my body, and I could feel her leaving her body weight on me.

"I will grant you what you want, Eliza. So stop. You're already special to me."

"Un. But I want proof of our relationship." She replied.

"Very well."

If that was what she wanted, then I would give it to her. I brought up the window to dominate Eliza and pressed yes.

[Ding! Eliza Rose is dominated!]

[Now she can't refuse your order!]

"Ahn!"

At that time, the crest was embedded on top of her crotch, and she let out a moan. It just felt really good that she moaned. Emilia told me that it felt like I creampied her, giving her rather intense pleasure.

In fact, Eliza's weight was fully left on me, and she looked up at me with a flushed face.

"Arthur... I... Please hold me." She leaned toward my face, and I smiled at her.

"I understand."

Holding her cheek with my hand, I gave her the kiss she asked for and pushed her down to the bed. While this wasn't what I planned, the end result was similar. If this was what she asked me to console her, then I would give her plenty of it.

"Hnn~"

I backed away from our kiss and looked at her. She was so beautiful and breathed heavily. Her face flushed red from both arousal and embarrassment, and there was still a trace of tears from earlier.

However...

"I'll give you plenty of my love, Eliza."

She was now smiling happily in my arms.

"Yes, Arthur. Please let me forget about everything but you." She circled her arms around my neck, pulling me closer to her hug. "I love you. Always."

I was a bad person, and I knew that. But I would do anything to stop my women from being sad and would give them what they wanted.

Even if it was to fool them to make them feel happy, I would do it. However... my love for them was real, and I never differentiated between my lovers.
