Chapter 431 Can't Have It All
left the group.
"That loss does hurt a little," Seth, who was currently walking down a corridor with a despondent Alice by his side, said, his words ringing only in his mind and meant for the figure taking a ride on his back.
"Just a little, that's all you'll say?" Alexia asked, with a bit of surprise in her tone.
"One of your women just left. She abandoned you for another man.
That is unacceptable, you should have killed that Basco guy and then proceeded to knock some sense into her."
"I don't remember ever declaring Dorian as my woman, Alexia. The one that attracted me was Alice, Dorian and Adriana are just bonuses I got."
"So what? Because they are bonuses, you'll just let them go."
Seeing Alexia persist in his complaints about him just letting Dorian go, Seth rolled his eyes at her.
"I've been with Rias, Flora, and Dilise. Do you expect me to keep track of them and make sure they don't sleep with everyone else or enter other relationships?"
"But they're your trophies," Alexia argued.
"Ha, more like my spoils of conquest. Remember, you told me there were a ton of women out there, more beautiful and sexy than I've ever seen. Do you expect me to also go owning all these women?"
"You could try," Alexia mumbled firmly behind.
"We're talking about hundreds, perhaps thousands of women, considering how long I plan on living."
"The first and most important thing to me is my power, Alexia. I don't have time to worry about a flock of women."
"If you don't have time to go worrying about women, then why do you go fucking them so much," Alexia asked with innocent eyes full of curiosity.
"Sex is something of a tool I use to get stronger, besides I have the tones of stamina and semen to spare, so why shouldn't I engage in such a pleasurable activity?
Though a stronger curiosity appeared within Alexia at Seth's words about sex helping him get stronger, she tamed her curiosity and asked something else.
"What about me? Am I also just a tool for you to get stronger?"
Hearing Alexia's ridiculous question, considering the obvious answer, Seth could only sigh inwardly and say what needed to be said, not wanting to risk a teary situation.
"No, you are the most cherished love of my heart," Seth said, his words earning him a kiss from Alexia on his cheeks.
"Hmm, so why are you turning the pet first? I would think you'd turn your sugar mommy first so you could have sex with her immediately, considering your now steep requirements of Kaiser-level intimacy.
It's only a matter of time before you find yourself without a partner to engage with.
Adriana can't handle you alone."
"There is always Leah," Seth said, unable to help but lick his lips at the thought of the truly high-stamina and sex-built woman.
"Yeah, perhaps you should stop thinking about her," Alexia said, still getting the jitters when she thought about the woman who served as the student of her rival.
Throwing Alexia's caution to the wind, Seth stopped at the door to which his guide, Alice, had led him.
A second later, he walked in when the woman opened the door. Given the fact that when Seth had asked about Sonia, Alice had robotically told him how the woman had been locking herself in a room for the past weeks.
Seth had expected to walk into some dark, creepy room with an atmosphere of despair and desolation, but what greeted his eyes as he stepped into the open door was a brightly lit room, with several tables occupying the space, each covered in scores of scattered books.
"Don't tell me you thought I would fail and so once more began your research on how to heal yourself," Seth said loudly, picking up a book off the table and having a bad taste in his mouth when he saw it discussing the body's biology.
"Master, Master, is that you?" Sonia's dry but energetic voice sounded from behind the shelves that were stacked in the left corner of the room, the sound of running footsteps following shortly after her words.
"No one informed her about my return?" Seth asked, turning to Alice and receiving a chilling nod from her.
"How vindictive," Seth muttered in relation to Alice's expression.
"I should be the one going first," Alice said.
"The patient dog gets the fattest bone," Seth replied to Alice's words but only got a snort from her.
"I preferred you when you were horny," Seth said as he opened his arms and received Sonia's charged hug, soon finding himself attending to a weeping woman a second later.
"Master, you're back!" Sonia cried, running into Seth's arms, and a slight smile couldn't help but come to his face.
"Master, I missed you so badly. I spent days being scared you were dead or would never come back. I thought you abandoned me," Sonia cried, letting out her tears and weeping into Seth's chest.
"Yeah, right," Seth thought, rolling his eyes internally.
Seth didn't need anyone to tell him about Sonia's true feelings for him and though he knew the woman would have acted differently depending on the circumstances of his return, she still did well in portraying herself as his good pet at the moment, so Seth went ahead and patted her head.
"So will you also be letting her go at some point?" Alexia said, now floating beside Seth.
"Nope, I already informed her before she agreed to be my pet that the only time she would stop being my pet is when I lost interest in her, and I would, at that time, destroy her."
"The poor girl doesn't know she's forever doomed to call you master," Alexia said with a sigh and shook her head, while Seth only grinned and reached down to give Sonia's buns a hard squeeze.
"I see your rank has fallen."
