Chapter 406 Just One Thing
Though Seth had no idea if this was the best suite the hotel had to offer and doubted it, he could still see that it was at the very least, far from ordinary.
Having already sent Gudzil on an emotional roller coaster, Seth didn’t bother to ask the man about the intricacies of the room, he just made his way into whichever of the three rooms in the suite he found first and closed the door.
As the exquisite hotel that it was, capable of hosting the likes of Mira, the Lancaster Hotel did not fail in creating exceptionally designed rooms in its suites.
Though his room was well-lit and contained a ton of beautiful wood, not to mention some rather alluring crystal, Seth paid them no mind.
For now, Seth no longer had any interest in sightseeing or wonder-gazing, he was done for the day and now wanted to meet the enigmatic woman within him.
With the availability of a roof over his head and a well-equipped room to boot, Seth freshened up and changed into some red pyjamas he saw in the wardrobe, after all, he wasn’t going to say no to free clothes.
Dressed up, Seth collapsed on the fluffy near-king-sized bed in the room, moving to the centre, and while lying in a straight posture and looking up at the ceiling, he closed his eyes.
As usual, the next time Seth opened his eyes, he was standing on the dark red sea, though this time, the strong rising and falling of the viscous sea had him raise an eyebrow.
Seth tried to sense below the sea, wanting to see if he could pick up on the entity, but in the end, there was nothing, and he could only give up and look up.
There high in the sky was the black sun, its presence ominous, a reminder that Seth’s soul was far from normal, and beside it were four red stars, the little bodies having aligned themselves around the black sun this time.
After looking at the stars for a few seconds, Seth looked at the most intimidating one of the celestial-like bodies.
Hanging there like an evil spell, the black hole swirled at a moderate speed, seeming like it could devour all of Seth’s soul at any moment.
“Stupid entity,” Seth muttered, turning towards the island floating above the sea, and then disappearing.
“Hey, I didn’t give you permission to come here; I don’t want to meet you,” the charming voice of who could only be Alexia sounded just as Seth appeared in the rather impressive fortress the woman had conjured for herself or perhaps built, given the several layers of walls and traps she had created as if she didn’t know Seth could deal with all of them with a thought.
Standing there in the towering brown, bare-walled hallway and watching the cute blonde teen before him, Seth sighed as he watched Alexia scrunch up her face and go about making catapults, missiles, dragons, tigers, giants, and other scary stuff to surround her and face him, keeping them more than two meters apart.
“What are you doing?” Seth said after letting Alexia speak her words and carry out some more of her constructions and summonings.
“Don’t come near me.”
“Stop with this, Alexia. We won’t get anywhere if you continue like this. Now tell me, which do you prefer, a calm wave-filled beach or a night filled with multiple stars?”
“I don’t care, just leave me alone.”
Hearing Alexia’s words, Seth’s face, which had been calm since he arrived, suddenly scrunched up in anger, and he shot back.
“Damn it, what’s with your stupid behaviour? Fine, you want me to leave. Do you want me to leave?” Seth asked, taking a step forward, his face intent.
To Seth’s question, Alexia took a step back, but her face remained tight, and she silently nodded her head.
“Good, then you won’t be hearing from me ever again,” Seth said, and immediately after that, his image disappeared.
Like this, the room, which had been noisy and near chaotic, quickly descended into silence.
As Alexia stood there alone, a confused expression on her face, her eyes, seconds went by, and with each moment that passed, the tension within Alexia faded away, but rather than being filled with peace, her eyes dropped as sadness began to fill them.
“Ha, look at that, missing me already, did you think I would leave?” The voice of Seth sounded from in front, jolting Alexia awake and having her look forward, her defences more active than ever, but just as Alexia looked forward, a pair of arms wrapped around her waist, her arms locked in the hug.
“Ahhhh, Seth, let me go,” Alexia began after a surprised scream, twisting her body left and right within Seth’s grip to no avail.
Alexia wanted to teleport out of Seth’s grip but, to her dismay, found that it wasn’t working.
“No fair, Seth.”
“Yep, since you’ve been unfair to me, I won’t be fair to you,” Seth said, squeezing Alexia closer to him and pressing his cheek against hers, and then later, having her world blur and then darken.
When awareness came to Alexia, the first thing she did was move her arms, which were now free. But as she did, she found that her legs were not on the floor, and her waist was in captivity.
“What are you doing?” the sweet-looking woman said, pressing her hand against Seth’s chest, pushing against him so he would release her, and she could get up from his lap.
“So what do you think about my sense of beauty?” Seth said, ignoring Alexia’s struggles and resting his head on his left arm, which rested on the armrest of the black throne he was currently sitting on.
Seconds passed, and Alexia gave no reply to Seth’s words. Instead, she kept struggling to get out of his grip on her waist.πΆπ³π xt.πππ
“Fine, I’ll let you go, but you just have to do one thing.”
“What?” Alexia answered with a quick grumble.
“Tell me you don’t love me, that everything you’ve ever said to me was a lie.”
