Chapter 269: Eluned’s Wish
Eluned’s sharp teeth pierced his skin, drawing a tiny bead of rich golden-tinted Gold Core blood.
The moment she tasted his blood, Eluned’s green eyes darkened with dizzying pleasure.
She extended her soft, pink tongue, eagerly licking up the droplets of blood, nibbling gently around the wound, and applying a microscopic drop of her divine nature saliva into the mark.
"Mm~ Mm~"
Her divine saliva reacted with his Gold Core blood, ensuring that no matter how much he tried to heal his body... this permanent dark-red love bite mark would remain clearly etched on his neck forever.
It was her eternal mark.
Her sacred seal of ownership.
"There..." Eluned purred happily, licking his neck clean until his skin glistened. "Now everyone will know you belong to me."
Eluned shifted her body, swinging her slender legs over his hips and sat directly atop Silas’s lap with her petite rear resting firmly against his crotch.
She raised her right hand, placing her delicate index finger directly against the center of Silas’s forehead.
FLASH!
A gentle soothing beam of emerald-green spirit light erupted from her finger, penetrating straight into his brain.
The divine green light instantly targeted the lingering slumber-herb molecules in his bloodstream, completely purging and neutralizing the toxin in a fraction of a millisecond.
FLUTTER...
Silas’s dark eyelashes twitched.
His Gold Core rebooted instantly as the heavy fog in his mind cleared away like smoke in the wind, and Silas’s golden-ringed eyes slowly fluttered open.
"Ugh..." Silas let out a low groggy groan with his vision slowly adjusting to the dim torchlight of his bedroom.
The first thing Silas saw as his consciousness returned... was the breathtaking, radiant face of Eluned looking down at him from inches away.
The Nature Goddess was wearing a sheer semi-translucent emerald nightdress that left very little to the imagination.
She was straddling his waist, sitting directly atop his lap with her soft thighs hugging his hips.
As Silas’s golden eyes met hers, Eluned’s face flushed a deep and extraordinarily lovely shade of pink.
She gently swayed her hips, rocking her petite rear rhythmically against his crotch with her heart hammering against her ribs like a trapped bird as she looked down at her Lord with eyes filled with unshakeable love.
"Wake up, My Lord..." Eluned whispered softly, her melodic voice trembling with sweet breathless excitement.
She leaned her face down low, resting her forehead against his with her warm breath mingling with his as she delivered her heart-felt desire.
"I am ready to tell you what I want..."
Eluned looked into his golden-ringed eyes.
"I want to become a woman tonight, My Lord... I want to become your woman. I want to be your first... your first everything... your first official wife."
’Cute...’
Silas would have really considered it but...
THUMP!
His head was throbbing with a dull persistent ache, and for very good reason.
The last thing Silas remembered before his consciousness had completely shut down was sitting in the subterranean training vault with Morwenna, eating those soft golden cupcakes and chugging down that thick, creamy white liquid Eluned had presented on her wooden baking tray.
And then... total blackout.
Silas blinked, his vision adjusting to the dim moonlight streaming through the grand stained-glass windows of his room.
He looked out toward the horizon, noticing the deep pitch-black sky hanging over the Keep.
"Ugh..." Silas muttered, his gravelly voice raspy. "How late is it...?"
He tried to shift his legs under the heavy blankets but Eluned didn’t let him, she sure was sexy
...But as a Lord, Silas needed to clarify a few extremely important logistical facts first.
Silas raised an eyebrow, looking straight into Eluned’s bright green eyes.
"Elu..." Silas asked directly, his voice dropping into a flat deadpan register. "Did you add something to that food? Or that milk I drank down in the vault?"
The moment those words left his mouth, Eluned’s entire body went rigid.
Her pale cheeks instantly flushed a bright burning shade of pink.
She cutely averted her face, looking away toward the wooden wardrobe in the corner while twirling her thumbs together in her lap.
"I... I don’t know what you’re talking about, My Lord..." Eluned mumbled innocently, her soft voice trembling with a hilariously unconvincing guilty pitch.
"..."
Silas stared at her guilty, blushing face in total speechless silence.
Before Silas could grill his divine nature deity any further, a sharp dull sting flickered along the right side of his neck.
Silas raised his calloused right hand, pressing his fingers against the sensitive skin right above his collarbone.
His fingertips brushed against a distinct indented mark carved into his flesh.
It felt like a deep deliberate bite mark... except the skin wasn’t bleeding.
It felt smooth and permanently sealed... almost like a raised scar or a deeply embedded tattoo.
Silas focused his mind, channeling his Gold Core mana directly into his neck.
’Radiant Cellular Reconstruction.’ Silas thought.
FLASH!
A warm soothing golden light erupted across his neck, attempting to instantly purge the physical imperfection and regenerate his skin cells back to their pristine state.
The golden light washed over his neck for three full seconds... and then faded away.
Silas reached back up with his fingers, feeling the exact same spot.
The indented bite mark hadn’t vanished.
It hadn’t faded, it hadn’t lightened, and it hadn’t healed by a single millimeter.
The Gold Core’s divine restoration spell had completely bounced off the mark, leaving it permanently etched into his flesh forever.
Silas looked back up at Eluned, catching the soft thoroughly proud smile spreading across her divine features.
"Elu..." Silas asked with his voice low. "What did you do to my neck?"
Eluned looked down at him, her green eyes sparkling with shy breathless affection as a deep adorable blush covered her entire neck.
"That’s a gift, My Lord..." Eluned whispered softly, twirling her fingers together against his chest. "It’s... it’s a hi-hickey I saw in those romance books in the Keep Library... I hope you like it."
Silas stood frozen on the bed.
A hickey that was completely immune to Tier 3 cellular reconstruction was not a hickey...
That was a permanent life-long tattoo engraved directly onto his body.
Silas looked up at her flushed and utterly adorable face... and let out a long quiet breath through his nose.
He couldn’t find it in himself to be mad at her. Not even a little bit.
Looking at the way her toes curled shyly against the mattress, and seeing the unshakeable devotion burning in her glowing green eyes,
Silas felt his heart completely melt inside his chest.
She was simply far too cute.
And the worst part? Eluned knew it too.
The Nature Goddess knew with 100% certainty that her Lord was utterly powerless against her adorable blushing expressions.
"Alright..." Silas sighed, resting his hands lightly on her hips. "And what about the rest of the Keep? What happened down in the training vault after I passed out?"
Eluned puffed out her chest slightly, offering him a remarkably proud confident grin.
"I spiked everybody, My Lord!" Eluned admitted cheerfully, without a single shred of shame or regret in her voice. "I put a massive double-dose of my Yggdrasil slumber-herbs into the food and milk! I knocked out Morwenna, I knocked out Aeli, I knocked out Talira, and I released slumber-spores into the wind to put everybody and then direwolves to sleep!"
Silas blinked his golden eyes once.
Then twice.
’...She what?’ Silas thought in total disbelief.
His brain scrambled to process the scale of what his Nature Goddess had just accomplished in a single evening.
She had literally launched a covert biological strike against an entire domain... she had poisoned Morwenna, Aeli, Talira too, an entire territory, and all the Blessed Wolves too...?
All just so nobody would disturb her date night with her Lord.
Inside his mind, Silas felt a cold comical sweatdrop form on the back of his head.
’Eluned is honestly... yandere when she sets her mind to something,’ Silas realized deeply.
While Silas fully understood and appreciated the logic that nobody wanted annoying interruptions or loud arguments during an intimate romantic moment... Eluned’s definition of "ensuring privacy" was taken to a world-ending extreme.
Silas shifted his broad weight, preparing to sit up on the mattress to assess the situation.
"Elu, we should probably check on—"
"No..." Eluned interrupted softly.
She reached her pale hands down, pressing her palm firmly against his broad chest, holding his heavy six-foot-two frame down against the soft silk pillows.
Eluned looked down at him, her bright green eyes darkening with an unusually intense and possessive light.
"I already told you what I wanted for tonight, My Lord," Eluned reminded him softly, her melodic voice trembling with sweet desperate affection. "You promised me earlier... you promised you would do anything I wanted tonight, right?"
Silas paused, his golden eyes locking onto hers.
He had indeed made that exact promise to her.
"You don’t need to go anywhere, My Lord," Eluned assured him, her soft voice dripping with unshakeable confidence. "The territory is completely safe. My World Tree barrier is fully active. If any rival Lord or stray monster dares to approach our gates tonight... I can easily defend the domain by myself and slaughter all of our enemies without ever leaving this bed."
Eluned slowly pushed her upper body forward, sliding her knees along the sheets until her face was mere inches away from his.
Her long silver-green hair spilled over Silas’s shoulders like soft silk vines, and every warm sweet breath she exhaled filled his nostrils with the intoxicating scent of fresh lilies and morning dew.
Her pale smooth stomach trembled slightly with breathless anticipation with her heart hammering wildly against her ribs as she prepared to offer her entire soul, her divine body, and her immortal existence to the man she loved.
Eluned reached her delicate hand down, pressing her palm firmly against the heavy mass residing beneath his dark trousers.
"You..." Eluned declared, her voice dropping into a low sensual whisper that sent an electric shockwave straight down Silas’s spine. "I want you."
She pressed her clenched left fist lightly against her own smooth bare lower stomach, and then slowly opened her palm, tracing her fingers across her skin.
"Go into me..." Eluned whispered passionately, her green eyes glowing with surrender. "...and make me pregnant."
She tilted her head, looking into his golden eyes with pure vulnerability.
"Is that okay, My Lord?"
Silas sat completely frozen beneath her.
He stared at the divine breathtaking Nature Goddess straddled atop his lap with his expression completely motionless for three long suffocating seconds.
Inside Eluned’s heart, a sudden wave of frantic nervous panic began to surge.
Seeing no immediate reaction on her Lord’s face, the Nature Goddess’s cheeks turned a deeper shade of red with her lower lip trembling as her mind went into a sudden tailspin.
’Oh no...!’ Eluned panicked internally, her toes curling against the sheets. ’Did I say something stupid?! Was I too aggressive?! Is he disgusted by me requesting a baby so suddenly?!’
However... what Eluned didn’t realize... was that Silas wasn’t disgusted or shocked at all.
In reality, a violent chemical reaction was currently exploding directly inside Silas’s bloodstream.
When Eluned had refined her primordial slumber-herb, she had subtly infused a secondary specialized divine property into the dosage she had given to Silas... an intense high-potency aphrodisiac effect designed specifically to heighten physical sensitivity and ignite raw desire.
She had deliberately avoided adding that aphrodisiac property to the treats she gave to Morwenna, Aeli, and Talira... because if she had, the entire Keep would have woken up the next morning in a chaotic state of lust and those girls couldn’t control themselves.
And right now... that divine aphrodisiac fluid, combined with Eluned’s breathless proposal hit Silas’s Core like a keg of liquid dynamite.
BOOM!
Silas’s golden-ringed eyes flashed with an intense light.
’Wh–wha...’
A sudden overwhelming surge of liquid Gold Core heat rushed straight to his veins.
His breathing turned heavy, his chest heaved, and every single instinct in his body roared to life.
WHOOSH!
Before Eluned could even process what was happening—
In a complete high-speed blur of physical motion, Eluned was no longer straddling his lap.
BANG!
Silas grabbed her waist, violently flipping her entire body onto her back against the soft mattress!
"Huuf~!" Eluned let out a soft and thoroughly breathless gasp as her bare back hit the silk sheets.
