Chapter 108: My Little Devil
*Craaalsh*
The sound of the roof breaking shatters the silence of the early morning, startling Arthur and Aria, who fall through the hole directly into a house.
"Crap!" Arthur prepares for the fall, but he barely feels pain as he lands on his back on something soft. 'A bed?'
Right above him is Aria, also falling, but she quickly uses her magic and begins to float, stopping just a few centimeters right above Arthur.
Their bodies are extremely close and their eyes meet, both with surprised expressions, but as soon as they understand what just happened, they both smile.
"Fufufu~" Aria's voice echoes in the darkness of that room.
"Hahahaa!" Arthur stretches his hands and pulls Aria into his arms; she rolls out of his embrace but lays next to him on the bed; then, they both look up at the sky through the hole in the roof.
"Who's there?!" An old, angry male voice calls out from outside the room.
"Shit!" Arthur quickly stands up, already picking up his sword.
"Come on!" Aria also gets up and grabs Arthur's hand before flying with him through the roof hole, leaving two gold coins on the bed.
Arthur just lets his mother carry him through the sky; floating with her is not so bad.
Aria flies away from that house quickly, but once they are far from that area and the Viscount's mansion, she descends into a dark alley.
"I think no one saw us…" She lets out a relieved sigh.
"This is certainly a good way to escape, hahahaa..." Arthur laughs, his eyes shining as he looks at Aria.
"Fufufu~" Aria has the same shine in her eyes as she sees Arthur laughing. 'How can you change so quickly? No longer that bloodthirsty demon from a few minutes ago, but my cute little boy...'
Arthur sees the loving expression on Aria's beautiful face, and it warms his heart. But at the same time, it stimulates his deepest and most possessive desires.
"Mother..." He slowly extends his hand towards her face and she does not retreat, letting him reach and gently caress her cheeks.
"Darling~" Aria's voice sounds erotic due to her heavy breathing, increasing the hunger inside Arthur.
Arthur does not try to kiss her straight away again but slides his hand to her chest, right above her huge mounds. "Your heart... I can feel it... beating so fast..."
'I feel so alive!' She mentally exclaims but does not say a word, her face quickly blushing as she continues to look into her son's eyes. 'I have never felt this way before...'
Arthur also has his own thoughts, which he shares with Nyx. 'I enjoy hearing the hearts of my enemies stop, but this is the opposite... is she so excited?'
'How could she not be?' Nyx quickly responds.
Since Aria is not retreating or pushing him back, Arthur becomes more confident. But even wishing to move his hand down and touch those more perfect sacred peaks than any other, he goes back up, running his fingers over her clavicle and touching the base of her neck.
Aria's skin is sweaty, and Arthur feels his lips tingling with desire, 'I want so much to taste her flavor...'
'So do it!' Nyx exclaims in his mind, 'She clearly wants it as much as you do.'
'Does she? For real??' Arthur continues looking into Aria's eyes, trying to understand what she feels and how far she is willing to go…
But even Aria doesn't have such answers. All she can do is gaze back into his bright eyes, mesmerized, 'What is this? A mother should not feel this way…'
She sees him moving his face slowly towards hers, their lips approaching with a clear and precise intention, 'Why… why do I desire this so much??'
Aria cannot pull back no matter how much she wants to, so she just accepts it.
Arthur smiles as he feels her fragrant breath on his face. His lips can already feel the softness of hers, his tongue longing for that wonderful taste…
"Mother…"
*Woof Woof* *Woof Woof*
The sound of a dog barking echoes right behind Arthur and Aria, surprising them again. Arthur instinctively looks in that direction, and Aria uses that opportunity to hold his arm and run.
"Let's go!"
"Wait! That's just a dog…"
"We can't stop, sunset is near!" Aria continues running through the alleys, pulling Arthur by the hand. She knows if they stop and he tries to kiss her, she won't be able to resist.
Arthur can see through her actions, which makes him extremely happy. 'She can run, but she can't get away, hehee…'
'Who can ignore you?' Nyx's voice resonates in Arthur's mind, boosting his ego even more.
Although he's not doing what he would like to be doing with his mother now, Arthur enjoys the moment, running through the city with her, the only sound being that of dogs behind them.
They soon arrive at Josephine's house again and sneak in through the back door before heading to the patio, where they see Oliver and his cousins still drinking with some nobles.
"Oh, they're still up?" Aria comments in an excited tone and looks at Arthur. "That's good, we just need to have a drink with them, then no one will suspect that we cleaned up the trash so quickly."
"If it will keep the Drummonds out of trouble…" Arthur remarks casually as he holds Aria's hand and begins walking towards the patio.
"Wait!" But Aria pulls him back and presses his body against the wall.
"Oh? Mom…" Arthur smiles excitedly, his hands instinctively moving towards her body.
*Pah*
But Aria quickly slaps them away, "Control your naughty hands, darling~!" She exclaims with a smile and then runs her finger along his face.
"Huh??" Arthur is stunned, his face a mixture of confusion and anticipation.
He doesn't know what Aria is going to do but understands it when she shows him her finger dirtied with blood, "We can't go there covered in blood. But they don't seem to be going anywhere right now, so we can take a bath."
"A bath?" The expectation in Arthur's eyes grows, and he smiles. "How about recalling old times and helping your son with that?"
"Oh, you naughty, dirty boy~!" Aria shakes her head, but her loving smile continues. "You were a kid the last time I did that… What happened to my cute, innocent baby?"
"He turned into a man who can take care of all your needs," Arthur smiles confidently.
"Ara~ Ara~" She giggles. "You are too overconfident for just a young man with a handsome face… and I'm your Mommy, so you may respect me."
"Is that a no to the bath?"
"Yes…" She makes a teasing expression while running her finger down his neck to his chest and pressing his body more against the wall. "It's a NOT, fufufu~" She turns and begins to walk away. "Nyx can help you with it…"
'Of course I can!' Nyx giggles inside his mind.
Despite the negative response, Arthur continues to smile, but his gaze becomes even hungrier as he watches Aria walk away with slow steps, showing her seductively jiggling ass.
'She's teasing me!' A part of Arthur is upset because he's like a wolf with Nyx and Margaret, but he can't dominate Aria yet because she messes so much with his deep feelings.
'You need to show who is the boss,' Nyx comments in his mind. 'But you've made enough progress for today; let her rest a bit, and let me satisfy your hunger now.'
"I really need this," Arthur comments in an excited tone as he follows Aria toward the elevator.
She waits for him so they can both go up to the top floor together, and she smiles when she sees him enter the elevator. However, neither of them makes a move or a sound, and an awkward silence lasts until they reach the floor of their bedrooms.
Aria exits the elevator first, and again, Arthur lags behind, his eyes lingering on her curves. She can feel his gaze on her, but instead of feeling repelled by it, she enjoys teasing him.
He follows Aria to a small hall where they find Josephine sitting on a sofa, drinking tea. Upon seeing the duo, the old lady's sharp eyes sparkle with curiosity.
"Oh, you're already back?"
"Yeah…" Aria approaches the table next to the sofa and pours herself a cup of tea.
Meanwhile, Arthur walks past them and nods to the old lady amicably. "Madame Josephine…" he speaks in a gentle tone as he heads towards the bathroom at the end of the corridor.
"Arthur…" She smiles at him, but her expression becomes more curious as she notices his clothes and face covered in blood.
As he heads to the bathroom, Josephine turns to Aria. "So?"
Aria sips her hot tea before smiling at Josephine. "It's done; the Viscount and his children won't be a problem for your family anymore."
"I see…" Josephine sighs with relief. "Were there any survivors?"
"No witnesses," Aria quickly responds, but then her eyes cloud with confusion for a moment. "Though... there was a girl, a servant, her body disappeared in a strange way…"
"Perhaps magic?" Josephine asks.
"I used a reconnaissance spell and felt nothing…"
Josephine appears hesitant but still voices her thoughts. "Could it have been... beyond your reach?"
"It would have to be done by a Sage for me not to notice it," Aria speaks casually.
"A Sage?" Josephine does not hide her shock. "Then you must be… it makes sense that wiping out the Viscount and his people was so easy for you."
"Me?" Aria smiles proudly. "I didn't do anything; Arthur killed them all."
"Him??" Josephine is even more shocked.
"Yeah… he's quite a little devil, indeed, fufufu~"
