Chapter 503: You Will Be Mine
The dance came to an end.
Amon and Seraphina were still standing side by side.
The awkward distance that had been between them earlier was gone now. Somewhere during the dance, without either of them noticing exactly when, they had drawn closer together. Both of them remained still for a moment, caught up in the lingering feeling of what they had just performed.
Adelia, watching from nearby, glanced at the two of them every so often. She noticed the change but chose not to comment on it.
When the performance finally ended, the crowd around them broke into applause.
"That was amazing! It was something completely new," Eliana said, her elf ears twitching with excitement.
"Yes. It carried real energy. Strong and full of power," Aisha added, choosing her words carefully in her own blunt way.
Marcus folded his arms and nodded slowly. "What artistry. I would like to see this performance again sometime."
Adelia looked around at the group. "It was lovely. But it’s getting late now. I think we should head back."
"Yes, Professor," Eliana replied.
Adelia turned and called out to the rest of the students gathered nearby, gathering everyone together to begin the walk back to the manor.
"So, Amon. Care to explain?"
Aisha finally turned to face him directly, her gaze sharp and entirely fixed on him. Her fluffy tail swayed beneath the hem of her skirt, and her arms were folded tightly beneath her chest.
Marcus watched the exchange quietly without saying anything.
Eliana stood off to the side with a mischievous smile, clearly enjoying whatever was about to happen.
Amon sighed and pressed his fingers against his temples.
’Enough of this.’
He thought. He was not going to hear anymore of this. He walked forward, closing the distance between himself and Aisha.
She flinched at the sudden movement. "What—"
"You wanted an explanation? Then listen carefully." His voice was steady and confident.
"I’m planning to build a harem. And you know what that means? You’re going to be part of it. You will be my future wife."
"Excuse me?!" Aisha’s arms dropped from her chest immediately, her tail standing straight up in shock.
Amon didn’t care how she felt about it.
Whether it came across as forward or strange made no difference to him. If she felt creepy so be it. After all, he was ’The great Amon’ and it was his right to fluster others, not the other way around.
These people had been teasing him for long enough.
He stepped closer. His hand rose and caught her gently under the chin.
The whole group froze. Even Seraphina watched with wide eyes.
Aisha’s wolf ears shot upright. Her face turned bright red. "H-hey! What do you think you’re doing?"
Amon only smiled and leaned in. Since she was taller than him, his other hand moved up behind her neck, drawing her face down toward his until only a few inches separated them.
His warm breath brushed against her skin.
Her red eyes met his dark, void-like ones directly. There was something commanding in his gaze. A quiet certainty that made it clear, without a single word, that he held the stronger position here.
Her heart began pounding hard against her ribs.
"A-Amon... you’re going too far." She said with nervous voice. Which was totally shaking.
"Too far?" He tilted his head slightly. "Not even close. You haven’t seen what it actually looks like when I decide to go too far."
He leaned in even closer.
"You will belong to me. Of course in future. Remember that. Understood?"
His voice had dropped, turning cold and deliberate.
Aisha flinched and nodded without thinking.
Seeing her response, Amon’s expression softened into a gentle smile. His hand released its hold on her neck and moved upward instead, settling lightly on top of her head. He patted it once, slow and almost affectionate.
"Good girl."
Aisha stared down at the ground, her face burning crimson with embarrassment.
His words, ’you will belong to me ’- pulled something loose in her memory. She thought back to the time he had saved her deep inside the dungeon. She thought about the first night they had shared drinks together, and how he had walked her back to her dormitory afterward, where she had clung to him tightly and acted like a small child who didn’t want to let go.
And then there was the more recent memory — the night he had called her cute and pressed a small kiss to her cheek while they were both drunk.
That last memory was the one she couldn’t quite shake.
She was Aisha. She had never allowed any man to get this close to her before. It wasn’t that she had some specific type she was looking for someone stronger, someone gentler, someone who chased after her attention. She had simply never let anyone in.
He was the only man who was so closed to her. So this made her more embarrassed. She couldn’t help but think about scenario where she was his.
She never even thought about if she need this kind of or that kind of man. She always focus on her training since childhood.
And honestly, harem was not unknown in beastman kingdom. Actually there were many people who have harem.
And yet somehow, without meaning to, she had let this ridiculous man get closer to her than anyone else ever had. She had hugged him. Let him kiss her cheek.
The realization left her too flustered to argue back. All she could manage was another small nod.
Satisfied, Amon stepped back.
"Good," he said simply.
"Now that we’ve cleared things up, let’s head back."
Marcus and Eliana stood in silence, both of them unsure what exactly to say after watching the whole scene unfold.
Adelia had seen everything from where she stood. She could hardly believe that her usually sweet, innocent and easygoing student had just acted with that much boldness. And yet, somewhere underneath her disbelief, she still found it a little endearing. The way he tried so hard to seem cold and commanding while taming Aisha.
She shook her head, pushing the stray thought about her student out of her mind.
"Alright, everyone. Let’s go," she said, not pressing the matter further.
She turned and began walking.
Aisha shot Amon one last glare, her face still flushed red, her eyes faintly glassy with unshed tears of embarrassment. But the look in her eyes carried a clear promise.
I’ll get back at you for this. Just wait.
Amon swallowed nervously but tried his best to keep his expression composed.
"Well then," he said, clearing his throat. "Enough drama for today. Let’s go."
Marcus, well used to Amon’s antics by now, simply shook his head and started walking without further comment.
"Amon never stops finding new ways to surprise me," Eliana muttered with a small smile, falling into step behind Marcus.
Aisha turned her face away from Amon entirely. "Hmph." Then she followed after the rest of the group, refusing to look back.
Amon finally let out a long breath.
Throughout the entire exchange, Seraphina had remained quiet, simply watching everything unfold beside him without a single word.
"Shall we go as well?" she finally asked.
Amon turned to look at her and nodded. "Sure."
Seraphina extended her hand toward him. "Then let’s walk together."
She was asking him to hold her hand. Her golden eyes were soft, and a small, gentle smile rested on her lips.
For some reason, Amon found that he couldn’t bring himself to refuse her.
He reached out and took her hand. "Alright. Let’s go."
She began walking, her fingers laced loosely with his. Amon walked beside her, matching her pace step for step, the warmth of her hand impossible to ignore.
’I need to contact Scarlett. I need her to come see me as soon as possible. My heart is racing and I don’t know what to do with it. Scarlett... my Scarlett.’ He thought gravely.
Amon made himself a quiet promise.
The moment he returned to his room tonight, he would reach out to Scarlett and have a long, honest conversation with her about everything that had happened today.
He need to consult with her.
He was not someone who could hide anything from his lover.
