LNELIAW - Case 180: A breakup and a new beginning.
🕑 Added 2024-01-23 11:09:59 +0000 UTC''Sure. I'll hear it.''
Sariel ponders a bit before opening her mouth again.
''I was born an outlier. I had better strength, better intelligence, and better luck than those of my age.'' She begins. ''I was good at magic, I was good at fighting, and I was good at ordering people.''
''Okay...?''
''One time, I was playing in the mountain range when three huge dragons came after me for seemingly no reason. Of course, I killed them all for I do not forgive those pointing their claws at me.''
''Mhm-hm.''
''Later, I found out that it was one of my siblings behind the attack. I was amazed. I thought those kinds of things were only possible in books. But I also eliminated that sibling regardless.''
Pretty typical story so far.
''As I grew up, I got everything I wanted. Shiny hoards, 'loyal' and competent subordinates, women, and eventually the leader title... But over time, it seems I got too arrogant.'' Sariel turns to me with a bitter smile. ''I indulged myself in way too much 'fun' as an excuse for my heavy workload, thinking that it would be fine no matter what. I think I lost my purpose in life if I even had one, to begin with.''
''...''
''And the result was as you saw. I was betrayed in a moment of carelessness.'' Sariel's slit pupils constrict slightly, eyebrows furrowed. ''...During the few decades that I was sealed, I thought about many things. Of course, I regretted my decision. I could have escaped there by myself, but I stayed as a reminder, so I won't be careless in the future.''
''Mhm...''
''The first time I saw you, I actually envied you.''
''Huh? Why?''
''You had such a heavy responsibility, yet you seemed so free. You seemed to genuinely enjoy your life.''
Well, yeah, I had and still have a dream harem who fucks me to oblivion every day, so of course.
The usual soft smile returns to Sariel's face. ''As I observed you, I came to the conclusion that I wanted you as my partner.''
''...Elaborate, please.''
''Do you know that your existence impacts your little lovers a lot?'' Sariel says. ''I observed. They seemed much more energetic and overall happier around you.''
''Isn't that what a typical lover does?''
''Not at all. Most of the women I've met were boring. They don't even come close to you. You know how to read a person, you know how to cheer up a person, and you take care of everyone well. I wanted to be taken care of like that, I guess.''
''I don't think that's how it works.''
''Of course, aside from that, you are also extremely lovely. I genuinely love you, that is for sure.'' Sariel's smile grows bigger.
Right then, a strong wind blows Sariel's hair to the side, covering a large portion of her face. When she adjusts it with her hand, the smile is already gone.
''But I also messed up that love.'' She says. ''I didn't know how to pursue a woman. I basically forced myself onto you that day, didn't I?''
''Well... Yes.''
''Now that I've actually used the brain that I was so proud of for once, I know I didn't do it right, at all. ''
...This is the first time I've seen her like this.
''So, Sylvia, allow me to say this.''
Sariel bows her head.
''I'm sorry.''
The wind once again blows. Sariel's hair flows to the side, blonde strands mixed with red ones, creating a beautiful combination of colors, especially when they reflect the sunset. A river of sparkling red-yellow, should I say.
''...I know this is selfish of mine, but I want us to end our relationship right now and begin a fresh one.''
''...So you want us to start from the beginning.''
''Yes. Please give me a proper chance.''
''Well... Straighten your back first, I...''
For a while, I look blankly at the receding sun, deep in thought. Sariel silently waits for my answer.
''You know, I actually like it a lot.'' I reply. ''Despite always wanting to be bullied against my will, I still think showing sincerity like this is the best. Just in time, I was worried about how our relationship would turn out to be as well. And finally... It is really nice to know more about you, Sariel. Thanks for sharing your story.''
''That means...''
''Yes. We are no longer sex friends.'' I smile and put out my hand. ''Nice to meet you, I am Sylvia Everwood, the Crown Princess of the Everwood Kingdom, and the final Saint of Aria.''
Sariel also smiles and grabs my hand. ''...I am Sariel, former clan leader of the Red Dragons. Nice to meet you.''
''Oh.''
Sariel lets out a noise as I suddenly pull her into a tight hug.
''It's still a shame that we won't meet again in bed from now on, actually. I got my fiancΓ©s all agreed on it.''
''Don't worry. My lust can be suppressed pretty easily by removing the thing. It will only get pent up after years, and now that I even know how to do it with divine energy, the time will be even longer.'' Sariel replies. ''So I can wait for you forever, Sylvia.''
''Still, can we at least do it once in a while? To be honest, I fell in love with your tentacles...''
''...Sure. And it's nice to hear I've already made progress.''
Now I feel clear again, about our relationship. We are now just mere acquaintances with some history of making love with each other, but someday... I think I will want to make a family with her as well.

'''' ... ''''
The room is filled with uncomfortable silence. I just announced this news with my loves, and this is the immediate reaction.
''So you're telling me...'' Liana speaks first. ''You whored yourself to this motherfucking bastard of a lizard for months on end just to now reset all of it??''
''Y-Yeah.''
''I don't really care.'' Emy says, munching on a cookie.
I kinda want that...
''I think it's a good thing, no?'' Anna says with a smile, still hugging my clone to her heart's content. ''Though I'll miss her technique teaching sessions.''
With those two out of the way, this time is Tina on facetime.
[Well, I think it is beneficial for me, so I'm all for it.]
And now, we all look at Liana.
''...To be honest, I still think it's a waste. You two fucked the shit out of each other anyway, might as well keep doing it to power up Sylvie, but... Fine. You do you.''
Immediately, I and Sariel high-five each other.
''Ah, about tomorrow.'' I speak up. ''I'll book a nice hotel for us to do it the whole day, is that alright?''
Tomorrow is a Saturday, so it should be good.
After everyone agrees, I continue. ''And... As a farewell gift for Sariel, can we include her in?''
''There are you and this cheap clone, right? Should be fine.'' Liana shrugs.
With no objection from everyone else, tomorrow's plan is decided.
Mom, I'm becoming a cumdumpster.
