Chapter 46: A Promise
---
Kai’s thoughts churned wildly. He was marked by the queen, first he needed to get rid of it. This mark made him obedient to the queen ant, who Kai never met. Now another challenge came to him. Reach Five star rank to be able her princess Mia. Although she helped him... and her looks were very beautiful and sexy.
There’s still a risk of getting in danger or perhaps death awaits him. Should he agree to help her or refuse her? That question rang inside his mind. Princess Mia is marked by his Lustre’s mark. but a question raises concern inside Kai’s mind, "What if she betrays me? Until I make my impression point to 80, it’s uncertain. I was already betrayed once by a woman and the result was death."
Suddenly, Kai got an idea, "I need to be Five star rank to help her. That’s a long way to go. In that time I will raise my impression points. Once she becomes mine there is no risk of betrayal. Let’s see if an ant princess can handle my manly man charms or not. I also want to bed her. Her hot figure is something a man can’t resist. Since this morning incident... I don’t know why but hormones are acting like crazy for her."
The very idea and risk of danger thrilled and terrified him in equal measure. Breaking the silence Kai says, "Princess... Mia... I will do everything in my power to help you," he practically vowed, his voice trembling with determination and a hint of forbidden desire. "You are so beautiful... so powerful—I will one day earn the right to know your secrets."
A coy smile danced on Mia’s lips, a smile that was both tender and challenging. "I am pleased to hear that, Kai," she murmured. "In fact, I have arranged a task that will help you grow stronger faster. I would like you to join my personal hunting team. This work is arduous, but it will be your stepping stone toward greatness."
A floating screen comes in front of Kai’s eyes saying, Ding! Impression point increased +3.
"This was easy, I just raised my impression points. If I join her hunting team, I can spend more time with her. That will be an opportunity to increase my impression points. I can’t miss this chance." Kai thinks this with a perverted face, "Maybe, I will get more benefits like today’s morning too."
The invitation hung in the cool night air, charged with promise and peril. Kai felt his heart leap, a cocktail of ambition, loyalty, and an inexplicable raw yearning for her, that surged within him. The prospect of becoming a key part of Mia’s inner circle, of proving himself in the field of battle, filled him with both excitement and a profound sense of duty.
"Yes, Princess, I am willing," he replied, his voice steady despite the tumult of his emotions. "I will join your hunting team. I promise, one day, I will help you fulfill our destiny."
