Chapter 78 Conversation
Hours later...
After a great night's sleep, Lothur was already beside Annaliese in this woman's carriage, heading to the Morning Star Academy.
But while he had a peaceful expression on his face, which reflected how in good spirits he was, the beauty beside him seemed a little nervous, not as well-behaved as usual.
Annaliese had a lost look on her face, her hair, though beautiful, looked a bit different than usual, and her clothes looked as if they had been put on in a hurry.
But she had not been late for the day. On the contrary, the problem here was that she had hardly slept the night before because her mind kept thinking about what she had done with Lothur.
Things between the two of them had not reached a point of no return. Still, after getting carried away with Lothur's advances, she had done things with him that she had not even dreamed of being capable of!
More than that, Lothur had shown her a different feature of her body, which had brought a new meaning to her life.
And thinking that she was standing side by side with her brother-in-law at this moment, she could not help but feel nervous and embarrassed.
Because of this, she avoided looking at the person next to her, as she felt her heart beating strongly. She then tried to speak in a low voice. "Lothur, what we did last night was wrong! That was a betrayal of my sister's trust!"
But Lothur did not feel at all bad for playing with his sister-in-law. "I don't think it's..."
"If Viktoria finds out, I think other than the initial surprise; she won't even mind." He smiled, looking at the left cheek of Annaliese's pretty face.
"If she finds out? That definitely can't happen!" She finally looked him in the eye, determined to keep their forbidden relationship secret.
"Don't worry. I won't say anything to her if you don't want to. But Anna, I must say that she will eventually find out."
"Will she find out? Impossible!"
"Only you and I know that. There's no way she can figure it out!"
"Is that so? Even if we take care from now on, I think she will realize it in the future."
"From now on? Do you think we will continue this?" She looked at him more closely, thinking he was getting too bold to think she would continue this.
'I must say that was truly very exciting and fun, but I will not allow myself to continue with it!'
'It's simply impossible!'
'He and I are related. He is my sister's husband! I can't go on with it even if we had a lovely night...' She tried to talk herself out of it while waiting for his answer.
'We can still be normal relatives again!'
But Lothur did not bother to explain to her what would happen next. Annaliese had several mental moorings hindering her from continuing what she had started a few nights ago, and him talking much about it would not help at all.
So he merely left it to her to work out what she wanted to do, ignoring the previous question. "Anyway, I hope you and I can get back to training starting today."
"Train?" She felt a little irritated at not hearing an answer from him regarding that crucial matter. 'Do you want to talk about training with me at this point? What about what we did yesterday? We almost had...'
But this time, Lothur's voice quickly answered her. "Yes, I need to get stronger as soon as possible. And at the moment, I need you to help me by training with me."
"However, I don't want to do this in the presence of other people, as your mother said."
"Not even my sister? Then how will we do that?" She asked as she tried to ignore her many thoughts about the previous night.
"As I said before, I want to impress your sister. So, it makes no sense for me to train with you in front of her. As for how we will do it, I don't know yet."
Lothur then took one of her hands and looked at her thoughtfully. "I hope you can help me with that."
"That's..." Annaliese looked down at her hand and pulled it back a little, feeling a slight shock go through that part of her body.
"All right. I'll see a way we can work this out, but our previous conversation isn't over yet!"
After saying those words, she finally saw the entrance to the academy through the window on her left side. Shortly after that, the coachman opened the door for her and Lothur.
Then the two parted, with Lothur quickly making his way toward the Mission Hall to record the completion of his previous task.
...
After collecting his prize and reviewing a few more missions for him to continue pursuing his goals in this place, Lothur made his way to geopolitics class.
There, he met up with the beautiful Elke, who was radiant for the day, looking at him with even more desire in her eyes, as if something had encouraged her to be more active with him.
And Lothur naturally did not miss the opportunity to develop their relationship a little further, planning to go on a mission with her.
Not only that, as had already been happening over the past few days, he and she scheduled lunch together and time to continue their fun in Elke's room.
At the end of the day's first class, seeing that Anneke was ready to leave that place, Lothur said goodbye to Elke and ran after that teacher.
"Anne, do you have some free time for now?" He asked this as he walked beside that woman with black hair and a slender body.
Realizing that such a bold student was interested in something, Anneke did not turn him down immediately, curious about Lothur's serious tone.
Besides, she was still interested in why he was hiding his powers, so she wanted to hear him at the moment.
"I have a few minutes, so speak what you want."
"Great!"
After that, the two quickly arrived at one of the gardens in that academy, a place that several students used for leisure time. However, despite the people coming and going there, there were good enough private places for conversations like the one Lothur wanted to have due to the size of that area.
He then sat down in front of her and began to speak. "Anne, I have two matters I would like to seek your opinion or advice on."
"What is it?" She asked in curiosity.
"Well, recently, I experienced a strange situation during my first mission. A group, for no apparent reason, acted against me."
"In short, I want to know how to go after the origin of these people, as well as uncover the reason for this situation." He commented on the previous incident without giving details of what had happened to Anneke.
"So that's it..." She sighed but was not surprised since it was not uncommon for groups to act against each other in forests, and Lothur had also built a terrible reputation.
Anneke knew well that many people in this academy and city would be more than happy to see Lothur fail or even help cause trouble for him.
She then replied. "Well, if you have their identities, it will be easy to find their origins. After that, you simply need some local investigative group to do the necessary for you."
"The local Cultivation House has our city's most reliable service of its kind. There is also the Mouse Company, but they are from the underworld, so I wouldn't advise you to look for them..."
"Maybe they even already have something against you." She said this as she thought about the information that had come into her hands concerning Alric's situation.
She did not know about Lothur's involvement with Alric's current situation. But Anneke knew that young master Baier had suffered his tragedy while complaining about a service concerning Lothur.
"Cultivation House, huh?" Lothur was glad to hear this as he had already had an excellent impression of this institution.
As for the other option, he was not interested. Lothur's predecessor had already had contact with some of the rats in that organization, so he knew it was not good to have relations with those people.
The previous Lothur was an idiot who liked to gamble and did not think so much about the consequences of his actions. But the current one was not like that and, unlike his predecessor, he saw the problem with approaching the Mouse Company.
'Well, I'll stop by the Cultivation House when I go out to do my mission with Elke.' He made up his mind just before continuing his business with Anneke.
