Chapter 348
Kiara could not contain her giggles every time she caught Kashish sneaking glances at Keith and then furiously blushing at the thoughts that ran through her mind.
The girl had been behaving like that since last night and given her slightly swollen lips, neither Kiara nor anyone needed to ask her what had occurred between her and Keith that turned her to behave in such a manner.
"What did he tell you?" She decided to pull her leg a little.
"He... I.." Kashish was about to subconsciously tell her what he said, but stopped herself and lowered her head, blushing again.
"Come on!" She urged, and the girl sighed before she informed her of the reason behind her unusual behaviour.
"I asked him to help me awaken my Special Physique if I possessed any..." She meekly said, but both Minami and Kiara heard her.
"And he told you that you would need to sleep with him to awaken your Special Physique?" Kiara grinned as the girl raised her head and looked at her in surprise. "He did. Didn't he?"
Kashish nodded her head before lowering her eyes again, her face now more flustered than before.
"Relax. He was not bluffing." The little miss of the Demiliore Family gently grabbed her hand and squeezed it. "Besides, there is no harm in it. You already belong to him." She pulled her leg again, which made the girl groan and pleadingly look at her.
"Did Master tell you which Physique you possess?" Minami raised the question, and Kiara too perked her ears to that.
"No."
"Maybe you possess some kind of a Dual-Cultivation Physique, which helps you grow stronger through sex." Kiara mused, giggling in her mind as Keith's image appeared in it.
"No." Kahsish adamantly shook her head, which made the two girls grin.
"How are you so sure?"
The daughter of the Mir Family found herself at a loss for words, but she really hoped that it was not some Dual-Cultivation Physique. And she had a strong hunch too that it was not something like that.
"I don't know." She shook her head, and Kiara squeezed her hand again.
"Relax. And Keith is serious." She stopped teasing her and lightly smiled. "He helped Qingyue in the same way."
"He did?"
"Master also helped Rebecca in the same way," Minami added, to which Kiara nodded her head.
Kashish knew who Rebecca was. She was the Inheritor of the Goddess Hecate, but she was not so familiar with Qingyue. However, she knew that she was one of his wives.
"Qingyue possesses a Special Physique, and Keith helped her awaken it by sleeping with her. I suppose he wanted to tease you and did not tell you why it was a good method, right?" Kiara guessed and watched Kashish nod her head to his words. "Well, it's because Keith possesses a Special Physique as well, and it works quite mysteriously."
The girl with the ice-blue eyes looked at her in surprise, and finally pieced things together, which helped her calm down.
"How does it work?"
"Not sure. But thanks to his Special Physique, we can get stronger by sleeping with him. It is some sort of a Dual-Cultivation Physique." She told her.
Keith had never really gone into much detail about his Special Physique, and he did not tell them its name either. So she could not really tell Kashish much about it.
"You can grow stronger by sleeping with him?" She was quite curious now and watched Kiara nod her head.
"Every time I sleep with him, my Cultivation sees a rise. My Aura becomes purer and denser as well."
"Maybe it is because you possess one too?" She frowned, but Kiara shook her head.
"Everyone in the family who sleeps with him receives the same benefits." She informed her.
"I see..."
Kiara and Minami did not disturb her thoughts anymore and excused themselves.
They were thinking about what they should do today, when they watched Keith come downstairs, dressed in a suit, they understood that he had plans.
"Can we come?" Kiara did not ask where he was going. She knew it would be fun being by his side even if it was some boring meeting.
"Caspian is going to ascend tonight. I am going to Fiji."
"Poseidon?" His little sister looked at him in surprise. "That's sudden."
"His circumstances are unique." He smiled. "If you want to come, ask Kashish to take care of Amira and Reina."
"Okay!" Kiara immediately nodded and then rushed back to the living room to inform Kahsish that they were leaving.
They did not really need to change clothes since they were already dressed up for the day, and without delaying Keith's time, they left the Mansion with him and Yingying.
An advanced jet was already waiting for them at the airport, and after a 5-hour long flight, which would have normally taken 9 hours, they landed on an island in Fiji where a few black cars were waiting for them.
"Whose men are these?" Kiara curiously asked since she was not too knowledgeable about the Underworld.
"Hermes. He's the one who takes care of transport and housing." Keith informed her and led the girls inside the Range Rover that was waiting for them.
It was late afternoon in Fiji, and they reached their destination after taking a small ferry to a beautiful Island which she learned belonged to the Inheritor of the God of Seas. It took them an hour to arrive at their destination, which they enjoyed, appreciating the beautiful water and the Islands that they passed by.
"This place is beautiful!" Kiara exclaimed when she saw a beautiful wooden mansion, which was Caspian's home, but before she could say anything more, a group of people came out to receive them.
"Lord Erebus!" The man leading them was none other than Hermes, who respectfully greeted them.
Hodur was with him well, and the other two were Aphrodite and Demeter.
Unlike the ascension ceremony of Abuzar, not many Mortal Gods were present here, and it was because Caspian did not have many friends.
Kiara had heard about Aphrodite from Rebecca, and though the woman was indeed beautiful, most of the girls in their family surpassed her in terms of beauty.
She was not being vain, but she knew that Aphrodite did not even hold a candle in front of her.
Demeter on the other hand was good-looking but possessed an easy-to-forget face. However, she carried herself with grace and confidence that could impress anyone who met her.
"Is Caspian meditating?" Keith asked, to which Hermes nodded his head.
"Please, come. Your lunch is ready." The Messenger God politely invited them inside, and then they were allowed some privacy as they had their meal in a private dining room.
After lunch, Keith let the girls roam around the Island, and do whatever they liked, whilst he walked to the room where he sensed Caspian's presence.
He smiled when the door opened on its own and closed behind him when he entered.
The blonde man, who was sitting on the couch stood up and took his seat again once Keith sat adjacent to him.
"You seem lost."
Caspian remained silent at his words, wearing a thoughtful expression. But after a while, he finally spoke.
"I have been waiting for this day for so long, but I don't find myself as happy as I should have been." He said and then gently traced the Sacred Rune of Wedding on the back of his left hand, which was no longer dull but glowed in a brilliance.
"You have fears that stop you from being happy. You know what is about to come your way, and the burden you bear has finally settled on your heart." Keith spoke, and Caspian frowned a little before nodding his head.
"I need an answer, Lord Erebus." He lightly asked.
They had talked about it on the day of Abuzar's ascension, but Keith had not given him an answer back then.
"You are dwelling in the thoughts that are unimportant at present. You have time, Caspian. Both of you have time. As I told you before, when the day comes, you can find me, and if you are willing to pay the price I state, I will help you in your quest." He smiled and watched the True Inheritor of Poseidon raise his head and look at him.
He was tempted to say that he was willing to accept any price but stopped and collected his thoughts.
"Let's play." Keith created a game of chess out of crystals and then assembled it on the table between them.
Caspian narrowed his eyes as he saw that it was not some normal chess of 8x8 but a chess of 16x16 that was famous in the Heavens.
"The Emperor's Chess?"
"The Emperor's Chess." Keith nodded and invited him to make the first move.
The two of them kept playing for well over an hour before the lone White Emperor stood on the board, having lost his queens, princes, and court.
"Supero." Keith smiled as the Black Emperor moved and struck the White Emperor, destroying it into specks of light.
It was a cruel game of chess that had forced Caspian through a myriad of emotions, but strangely, at the end of it, which resulted in his devastating loss, he felt calm.
"Another round?" He smiled and asked, but Caspian shook his head.
"Thank you, Lord Erebus."
"You're welcome."
