Chapter 201: Chapter 201: Waiting Surprise?
After their moonlit flight, Aengus and Aria entered the treehouse.
The place was softly illuminated by fireflies and filled with the natural aroma of fresh flowers, creating a tranquil atmosphere.
There was a single bed made from leaves and sturdy branches for comfort. Aengus sat down casually, keeping his Supreme Hunter danger sense on high alert, despite the peace surrounding them.
"Aria, what are you doing over there?" Aengus asked, noticing her fidgeting near the window.
Aria glanced back and replied, "I need to change, Ethan. There are bloodstains, and this awful scent. I feel uncomfortable." Her face flushed a little with embarrassment.
"Oh... sure. I can give you some privacy. I won't look, I promise. See, I'm closing my eyes now," Aengus said, covering his eyes, though it didn't mean much considering his extraordinary senses.
Aria, still shy about such things, not as bold as Bella, gathered her courage and offered, "No, Ethan, you don't need to close your eyes. You can look if you want." Her face was as red as a tomato.
Aengus didn't agree.
"No, it's fine, Aria. We can take our time slowly. We will reach that step in the future, after our marriage, I mean. No need to worry, I can wait. Now, quickly get changed and come here," Aengus muttered softly.
Aria appreciated his understanding, though she knew she would eventually have to overcome her shyness.
She began to undress, revealing skin that hinted at her natural beauty, her curves subtle but undeniably tempting.
Aengus kept his promise.
He resisted the urge to look, though the rustling of her clothes falling to the ground tested his hardest resolve. The sound was full of tantalising imagination, yet he remained composed.
Though he and Bella had shared intimate moments before, he had never fully seen Bella's complete beauty, let alone Aria's.
But Aengus was determined to give them the respect they deserved, never wanting to rush or force anything. He knew it was just a matter of time and was confident in his ability to wait until the right moment.
After changing into a light blue outfit similar to the one she wore for hunting, Aria approached Aengus.
He opened his eyes as she drew near.
"You can sleep for a while, Aria. I'll stand on guard," Aengus said, standing up and gesturing toward the bed.
But Aria gently grabbed his hand, stopping him.
"Not yet... Give me what I've been waiting for," Aria said, her voice filled with rare boldness.
Aengus raised an eyebrow, smirking slightly. "And what exactly is that?" he teased, knowing full well what she meant.
He enjoyed seeing her break out of her shyness, even if it was only a little. It was the first step, and he wanted to let her grow more comfortable at her own pace.
"Oh, of course... it's a kiss. Give me my kiss," Aria stammered, her voice betraying her nervousness.
Aengus smiled as he wrapped his arms around her, their bodies pressed close together.
"Is it like this?" he murmured, his deep voice soft yet teasing.
Aria, smaller in size compared to him, could feel the heat radiating from his body, her heartbeat quickening as their closeness left only a thin layer of clothing between them.
With a mixture of anticipation and excitement, she wrapped her arms around his back, closing her eyes and tilting her head slightly, inviting him closer. The moment felt intense, filled with emotion and desire.
Aengus looked at her face, closing the distance between their lips.
Aria responded eagerly, feeling the intensity of his love and desire.
As they continued their intimate exchange, something entirely different was happening in the Demon World:
A massive ruined battlefield was strewn with the corpses of tens of thousands of demons. The blood spilled on the ground of the fallen demons was still fresh, suggesting that an intense battle had just ended.
Bella and Aengus stood at the front of the Army of Liberation, which had now grown to more than 40,000. They had just finished accepting another group of demons into their ranks, marking them with Slave Marks, am ability recently acquired by Bella combined with her curse abilities.
She had recently surpassed the Archdemon Rank, reaching the rank of Demon General, though she was still not as powerful as her father.
Aengus's body double had also grown significantly stronger. He would experience a real boost in strength once they merged again.
"Phew, finally. This marks the end of the Red Serpent Deity's temples in this region. Now, only the head temple remains in the capital of Demon Lord Nagaroth's domain," Bella remarked, a sigh of relief escaping her lips.
Aengus glanced at her beside him.
"Bella, we need to leave quickly before they receive the news," Aengus replied cautiously, his eyes scanning the surroundings for any threats.
"Sienna, Sen, go quickly order everyone to store the bodies and make them ready to leave," Aengus turned to the Naganian Siblings in command.
"Yes, My lord." They gave respectful nodds and headed ahead relaying the command.
The doppelganger of Aengus had started showing real emotions lately, something that made Bella happy. But she couldn't quite figure out what had caused this sudden change.
"What's wrong?" Aengus asked her puzzled by her strange gaze.
"No, I was just wandering when are you coming back, Hubby? I want to know what changed in you?" She asked suspiciously.
"Didn't I say I had my heart fixed," He said with smile, hiding the truth for now.
Bella was still suspicious.
"So, when are you coming back? I have already prepared my wedding dress already. We need to make babies together, " She said with a lewd expression.
Aengus answered patiently, "It's barely been a few days, Bella. Just wait for a few more days. You will get a big surprise once I am back," He said mysteriously.
He was going to introduce Aria and Bella to each other. Bella might be angry for while, but he was sure she will accept Aria eventually. She was influenced by Polygamy from birth, but she was a little possessive, perhaps it was all woman's inherent trait.
Bella was amused, "Ohh, let's see what you have for me.."
