The Conquerors Path
chapter-185

Just as I stood there surprised by the events that were taking place, Elda seemed to have regained her senses as the wings behind her faded, she opened her eyes as they focused on the portal that was still open, she kept looking at the portal as she spoke to me, seemingly not having noticed Veronica who was on my head

"Any minutes now big brother, it just takes some time for Veronica to the app-"

Just as she was talking she turned her head towards me causing her eyes to widen and the things she wanted to be said lost, soon silence filled the room which was broken by Veronica who was the first one to speak out with a squeaky voice

"Hey Elda!, you were right Veronica did like your brother!"

It would seem that time resumed after she spoke, as Elda kept looking at me with a shocked expression, well I wouldn't blame her for it, I mean in a way I have already got used to dealing with a lot of shocking things, that at some point they became numb to me but that was not the same for Elda

The reason for her extreme reaction was because the fairies aren't exactly good at dealing with men, it's not that they hated men, it just that they seemed to have difficulty coming to be close with them and up and till now there are never being any report of any man being close with a fairy and now seeing one sitting happily on my head would surely be a surprise

"H-How?"

To Elda's question I could only smile wryly and shake my head, causing the fairy on my head to be shaken, speaking about her it was truly getting annoying with her sitting on my head, I mean how would it feel with some sitting on you head and playing with it?

To a boy, his stylish hair is his life! and anyone that messes with a boy's hair is his mortal enemy, well except for his mother! but no matter how much I want to I couldn't just hit her off my head, well not if I wanted to be beaten black and blue and make an enemy of the Goddess of life, I already have a crazy goddess on my back and I have no interest in adding another one

"Sigh….things just happened"

That's all I could say to the stunned Elda who was finally regaining her wits, and just as she did she sighed and smiled as she spoke

"Sigh…..I am relieved"

"Why?"

"Well I was afraid that both of you won't be comfortable with each"

"I see…"

Hearing Elda's reply I nodded my head at her, well I wouldn't lie when I said that I wasn't worried but it would seem that it was for knot, moreover, it looks like Elda can't feel that both I and Veronica now have a contract and that's good, after all, I didn't want to crush Elda's confidence and thankfully at this time Veronica floated away from my head as she flew towards Elda

Reaching Elda she gave her a small hug with her body causing Elda's smile to widen, I could see that both of them cared for each other, meanwhile, I quickly moved my hand fixing my hair

"Veronica, didn't I tell you that my big brother was special?"

And just as I was fixing it I could hear Elda's prideful voice talking to Veronica

"You're right Veronica was wrong, your brother's realllyyyy gooooodddd"

Veronica said as she floated beside, soon her eyes focused on mine as she floated towards my shoulder taking place there and soon she fell asleep, I couldn't fathom how some could fall asleep so fast, looking at Elda I could see a wrily smile on her face as she spoke

"It looks like Veronica really has taken a deep liking to you big brother"

"Yeah…..I guess"

"She's a handful"

"Too that I can agree"

I exasperatedly nodded my head at Elda, who chuckled but the chuckle soon ended as a serious face came to her, she seemed to have made a decision as she looked at me, with a hint of anticipation Elda looked at me as she spoke

"Big brother, can you come and meet me tonight?"

"Um…Why?"

"I wished to take you to a place"

Elda said with a serious expression, looking at it I nodded my head, soon we spent the next hour in leisure talk after which I left Elda's room to deal with some stuff, leaving behind the reluctant sleeping fairy at Elda's hands, for some reason, it was very tough to get her off my neck and soon I was in my head office as I looked through some important documents, it's at this time the door to my room was opened as two girls walked in, both Rika and Mika had a smile as they looked at me

"Austin are you free?"

Rika asked as her white-haired ponytail swayed behind her back, Mika kept quiet as she stood beside Rika looking at me, both of them had a serious expression on their faces, seeing it I sighed inwardly, I carefully placed the documents to the side as I smiled at both them as I spoke

"For both of you? always.."

Hearing my answer both of them smiled, even the cold looking Mika had a wide smile on her face, their wolf tail and ears seemed to be shaking in happiness, I could only chuckle inwardly seeing how easy it was for me to make them both happy but that was short-lived as Mika's and Rika's serious expression returned seeing it I too kept a serious expression as I asked

"What's it?"

"Simple…."

Both Mika and Rika spoke at the same time without breaking amplifying their sound and their feelings

"We just wanted to tell you that we love you!"

And with that only silence remained within the surroundings leaving me surprised for real this time, I didn't expect them to confess to me at the current time, the silence in the surroundings remind me as both Mika and Rika stood there looking at me expectingly with a hint of apprehension, time ticked by before the surprised expression from my face faded away as I looked at them with a serious expression

"Since when?"

Seeing my sudden change made them both fearful but they stood their ground as they both spoke at the same time

"For years…"

"I see…"

I replied before which my serious expression faded away breaking into a loving smile, I looked at the beautiful twin girls in front of me as I spoke

"Me too…I have liked both of you for a long time…."

I wasn't able to say more as two bodies jumped at me drowning me in their hug

'Sigh….here we go again….'
