Chapter 38: Promise
"Ha ..... Ha... Ha ..."
Sweat ran down Arthur's cheek as he dangled from his three tails to a metal bar ...
Two years had passed since his birthday party, the Van Panthohime Mansion was quiet and Arthur continued to stay home.
Since his goal was to be powerful, Arthur had continued to train him these two years, accumulating magic power, strengthening his body, and training his fighting power.
With Margareth's memories, there were too many spells that Arthur wanted to practice.
And because Arthur was very fond of training, Margareth personally traveled the Human continent and brought with her quite a bit of equipment that served in the construction of a custom training room.
Humans in this world were known to be the weakest race, but themselves the most advanced in technology.
Humans were said to be 30 to 40 years ahead of all races.
And the rumor was true since Margareth was able to build this training room, in which Arthur could stay for months inside.
It had several support systems, such as increased gravity, use of projections, etc, etc ...
However Elizabeth could not allow Arthur to train alone without a guide, therefore Roel as Arthur's personal teacher and as a man, entered alongside his precious son.
Since Elizabeth for no reason would allow a woman to be alone with Arthur.
"Mister Arthur, this is not enough you need to clear his mind and control his magic power otherwise he will only tire more easily ..."
At this moment the training room had gravity increased to 15 times, so it was a great effort what Arthur had to go through while he hung on his tails.
Roel on the other hand crossed his arms while he remained cool as lettuce.
Being a Blue core, Roel did not feel the pressure of increased gravity, his body and magic power was strong enough that this gravity did not bother him in the least.
"Guh!"
Suddenly Arthur could no longer bear it and fell from the metal bar, his three tails shrinking as he gasped ...
"Not bad, 4 hours 25 minutes a new record ..."
Checking his watch, Roel assisted in approval, after hanging so long under the increased gravity, Arthur's tails and body grew stronger and stronger.
It was already quite a feat for an 8-year-old to stand in this increased gravity room, let alone hang from a metal bar ...
Wiping his sweat, Arthur smiled.
His training was paying off, his magic power increased during these two years, going from an initial stage three-tailed to a final stage three-tailed.
Arthur was satisfied with his progress, nothing is free in this world and Arthur did not sit around, waiting for blessings and opportunities to fall from the sky, he had to work very hard if he wanted his ultimate goal to be fulfilled.
Increasing his level of magic power is increasingly difficult as the number of tails increases, for example, he was born with 2 tails, however only when he was 5 years old could he begin to practice his mana, and in a year, he passed two tails in the primary stage. two-tailed final stage.
Now two years have passed and Arthur still couldn't materialize his fourth tail.
This just goes to show how difficult it is to become Transcendent.
"Mister Arthur, Mrs. Elizabeth is waiting for you in the dining room"
Suddenly Adeline's voice was heard on the intercom in the training room, apparently, his beloved mother is waiting for him for lunch.
------------
"Her Highness Lilian and Her Highness Charlotte will arrive at the Mansion tomorrow"
During the meal, Elizabeth reminisced about visits from the royal family.
Every six months, Charlotte and Lilian would come to this Mansion to cultivate the affection with which she would be her future husband, as well as carry out this Courtship competition.
During the two years, Arthur greeted both princesses with kindness, yet he was not moved by either of them.
They were just two girls doing their best to show their good points.
Simple novices in the area of seduction, Arthur would have to be an idiot if he were moved by such acts.
For example, Charlotte often used her 'charms' to attract him and invite him on dates, but that was useless for Arthur who was a seducer in his past life, not to mention that Charlotte is a girl and her body is not developed by what was unattractive.
Arthur even began to suspect if Charlotte was right in her head, there was no way his little girlish body would attract him.
He also began to look at her in a new light, as Charlotte was using techniques that women in his past life often used.
Who taught you such techniques? Internet?
Or is it something else?
Lilian was more direct, she did not go with the branches, she was very clear about what she wanted and Arthur thought it would not be so bad, after all, Lilian was being honest with him.
But it was also not something to praise since a direct environment does not always work ...
They tried using various more methods, but it always ended with Arthur falling in love with them, rather than the other way around.
Another point in this courtship is that Prince Carter was also accompanying his sisters and from what Arthur could see, Carter was supporting Lilian.
They had several misunderstandings, as Carter looked at him with disdain or even contempt.
Arthur didn't care about a child, so he ignored him most of the time, this only made Carter more dissatisfied with him.
Arthur just sighed, he thought that having another child his age, he could have a friend, unfortunately, Carter was not interested.
He regarded him as a rival to beat, while Arthur was not interested in such pointless competitions.
(I guess I'm destined to be friendless)
Even in his past life he rarely had friends, as he was more interested in finding happiness than he spent most of his time planning his future and pursuing women.
This is why his male friends were so rare, it is possible that none of them attended his funeral.
He thought that with Carter he could achieve what they called 'Sworn Brothers'.
After all, because of his identity, Arthur could not socialize as equals with commoners, only the other Superfamilies and the Royal families could be treated as his equals.
But it is a pity that the men in the super Families are so cowardly, that they did not leave their houses and that Arthur himself is trapped in this Mansion.
Carter was the only child who could treat him as his equal, but it ended in a pointless rivalry on Carter's part.
Even many times Arthur wondered if this was due to his commitment to Lilian and Charlotte.
At first, he thought that Carter loved his sisters too much, that he was not willing to leave them.
But that was not the reason, as he supported his relationship with Lilian and even sabotaged his dates with Charlotte several times.
It just wasn't the commitment ...
"Ludi, Hatsumi, and Nora have also notified that they will come tomorrow"
Unlike the royal family, Ludi, Hatsumi, and Nora visited the Van Panthohime Mansion more frequently, almost twice a month.
This was more and more frequent with Ludi and Hatsumi, who being family used this excuse to stay for a whole week.
"Grrrr ~"
Cristie who was next to Arthur growled in disgust, she didn't like any of these girls.
With the two princesses, Cristie had given up due to not having the power to change the fact that Arthur married a princess.
This was something that even Margareth was defenseless about, but that doesn't mean that she accepted the other women.
Those three girls especially, Cristie kept alert.
Ludi was a very clingy girl with Arthur, while Nora used her identity as her older sister to get closer.
Only Hatsumi was the calmest, however, this is what Cristie hated the most.
Because Hatsumi was so weird, she often did nonsensical things and she always involved Arthur in her plans.
Once she even she almost kissed Arthur, if not for she intervened, that little bitch would have succeeded.
Cristie really hated her hypocritical behavior, she seemed not to want anything with Arthur, but she just hides her claws from him and makes her move in the dark.
As for Arthur?
He was not interested, his cousins and older sister are interesting and play often, but in the end, they are just girls.
Their behavior is childish and they sometimes liked to play pranks on adults.
(However ... they are interesting)
What if Arthur was impressed is that because he was surrounded by innate geniuses, the rivalry between them, the girls began to develop their magical power at an incredible speed.
Cristie is already a two-tails intermediate stage,
Ludi was just like Cristie, Nora was already about to enter her third rebirth.
As for the royal family, Charlotte was on the same level as Cristie and Ludi, Carter was one level higher, while Lilian was one step behind Arthur, being a middle-stage three-clawed spirit dragon about to enter the final stage...
However, the one who made the most progress in these two years was the lazy Hatsumi.
She had already formed her second queue even though two years ago at her birthday party it was still an insignificant, a primary stage queue.
Arthur even though her talent was the best of them all since she didn't practice and still leveled up.
Honestly an anomaly...
However, during these two years that Arthur kept observing her, Hatsumi's strange behavior always had to do with him, because of this Arthur began to suspect if this behavior was related to her level increase.
Sometimes I even try to imitate to confirm his theory, but it turned out to be nonsense, so there was something deeper in this.
The same thing happened with Charlotte, she often knew of the likes of her that even Arthur himself had no idea that he liked her.
There was something strange about those two girls ...
But having no further information, Arthur was still in the dark, not to mention that Charlotte was very careful and rarely behaved strangely ...
-----------
"Big Brother, I want to sleep with you ..."
During the night, Arthur came out to greet his guest, tilting his head as he looked at Cristie in her sleeping attire, holding her pillow.
She looked so cute and tender, that Arthur smiled when he saw her, as expected of her twin sister, she is so cute ...
Cristie shook her two tails and waited patiently for her older brother's response.
During these two years, Cristie's restriction from sleeping with Arthur had disappeared, Elizabeth could not stand idly by and watch her treasure taken from her hands.
After all, Elizabeth thought there was no longer a need for Cristie and Arthur to be separated and develop independence.
With the engagement, Arthur was destined to be tied against his will to the Royal family.
And honestly, Elizabeth did not want to use the marriage pass on Cristie, it would be a better option if both Twins fell in love and willingly married in the future.
This would only bring happiness to both of them, it would also help the Seymur and Van Panthohime continue in harmony, as she could use that pass on Nora.
Because of this, Elizabeth lets Cristie and Arthur spend as much time together as possible, cultivating her feelings.
Cristie obeyed delightedly, being with Arthur was what she wanted, unfortunately, could not train together, otherwise, they would spend most of the day together.
"Good ~"
"Yay!"
Letting Cristie in, Arthur sighed as Cristie immediately got into his sheets and urged him to lie down.
(This spoiled girl ...)
Hugging each other, his fox tails covered his bodies like a blanket.
"Big Brother..."
"Yes, Cristie? ..."
"I love you...."
"I love you too Cristie ..."
Stroking her hair, Arthur tenderly responded to his cute little sister, who in response narrowed her eyes and her tails tightened around her.
"Big Brother...."
"Yes, Cristie?"
"Mother said that if I want a man to be with me forever I must marry him, Big Brother I want to be with you forever, Big Brother, let's get married!"
"When we are adults ..."
"Yay! It's a promise! We will always be together!"
"..."
Smiling at the end, Arthur closed his eyes, his little sister still did not know exactly what marriage means, however, Arthur loved his very much as his little sister, they were born together, eat together and sleep together.
Cristie will absolutely be a great woman when she grows up, but now ...
Arthur wasn't interested, not wanting to destroy Little Sister's hopes of him, Arthur promised.
Unfortunately, his promise to always be together was destined to be broken ...
