The return of Kase

[Kase point-of-view]

The way back to Riledo seemed shorter thanks to Tricia being horny and making me fuck her all the way back. I never have to use my skill on her and she acts more perverted than if I had used it. Maybe my money and fame are a better motivator for her. Anyway, while doing it with her, I couldn't stop thinking about Ilene.

Setting foot in the city, I was exhausted, but before I can take a break, I have to find Amelia. If I don't reactivate my skill on her soon, the time limit will pass. I guess, I also have to go to the castle to report what happened too.

However, Amelia first. Me and Tricia head to the mansion, where I thought Amelia would be. Unfortunately, it appears that news of the monster attack spread quickly and Amelia knows that her village was destroyed. The servants informed me that Amelia went to The Knights Hospitaler guild, which is where the wounded are arriving. Without wasting time, I went to that place. I need to find her as quickly as possible. I had to use [Silent ****] to be able to enter without being seen and cause a commotion that would only waste my time. Sometimes fame can be really annoying.

After searching for a short time, I found her lying in one of the rooms. Why is she sleeping here?

"Amelia" I called her while touching her shoulder gently.

For some reason, she didn't want to wake up. Fuck it. I have to use my skill while she is sleeping. The time limit is about to end.

I was about to use [Broken Will] on her, but I felt a weird sensation. I don't feel the connection with her that I usually sense. Since I used my skill on her for the first time. What wrong? I'm sure the time limit is not over yet. ...Maybe the connection is low considering there is almost no time left. Whatever I just have to use it again. As soon as I activated [Broken Will], Amelia without opening her eyes began to scream as if she was having a nightmare.

"KYAHHHHH! NOOO! STAY AWAY FROM ME !!! D-DARX!!"

"A...melia? Calm down. I'm here." I said while hugging her to try to calm her down.

An instant later Amelia calmed down and finally opened her eyes. The change in her mood was almost inhumane. Her face went back to normal and the expression of fear she had returned to the kind and loving way she usually sees me.

"K-Kase..."

At that moment the door opened and Darx entered.

"A-Amelia, are you okay?" Darx said to Amelia and then turned to see me, "What did you do to her?"

"What are you talking about?"

I am the one who would like to know what happened.

"Don't play dumb. I heard Amelia scream."

"She's fine. Maybe you got confused. Right, Amelia!?"

"I'm fine." Amelia answered Darx. She seemed confused, almost as if she didn't know what he was referring to.

Was she like that because of the **** of her parents? More likely she already knows.

"I'm sorry about your parents," I said while touching her shoulder, "But at least I was able to avenge them."

Amelia started crying and hugged me tightly. I guess my feelings for her have grown since it hurts to see her like this. That is not typical of me.

I turn to see Darx, "As you can see we're busy so get out. I'll take care of my woman, so you have no business here, ...Ohh, Ilene is fine by the way."

Darx in shock replied, "Did you see her? How is she? Where is she?"

"Ilene aided me to stop the monster's attack. Also, she reeeally helped me that night."

"What?"

I would like to see how he looks if I told him that I slept with his mother, but that would only make things difficult with Ilene in the future.

"She is fine and should be in town in the next few days. When you see her tell her to go see me. There is something I want to talk to her about. Now go."

It seems that informing him that Ilene was fine was enough for him to come to his senses. At least enough for him to leave. Although his pathetic expression upon seeing Amelia tells me that he still has feelings for her.

"Kase... tell me. Tell me what happened? Who... who killed my parents? They were very kind and never hurt anyone. They didn't deserve to die like that." Amelia said crying and burying her face on my chest while I hugged her.

I avoided telling her about the shattered bodies of all the villagers after being devoured by the monsters. I cautiously told her what happened and how I killed the demon that caused all that. It took a long time for Amelia to calm down enough to speak.

"Thanks, Kase!" She told me between tears, "Thank you for avenging my parents."

"You are my woman. You don't have to be grateful."

I can say that she is my woman, but now I am not so sure. The way she acted before. Did she react that way because of my skill? Or was it because of her parents? I'm pretty sure Amelia wasn't under the effects of my ability at that moment. But how? There should be no way to counter [Broken Will] ...I think I don't know as well this skill that the goddess gave me as I thought. I thought the skill only makes women horny to the point of them begging me to have sex with them. And the more I use it, they will awaken feelings of love.

If the effect is lost on someone like Amelia in who I have used my skill for a long time, what will happen to her? Amelia's change went from one hundred to zero in a matter of a second when I reapply the skill. Before that, she seemed like she was losing her mind. What I am sure of is that if the effect is lost on her, something bad will happen to her.

Maybe I underestimated the gift of the goddess. I just wanted a power that would let me have a quick fuck. Not cause madness in who it is used on. I have to be more careful from now on and find out how Amelia got rid of [Broken Will]. Even if Amelia's feelings for me are false, I can't let her go crazy because of me. I wanted to use my power on Ilene and Syvis, but now I don't think it's a good idea. I can't risk leaving them in that condition. Fuck!! This power is useless! It's not like I needed this in the first place. I shouldn't have gotten carried away. Before using it again, I need to know how dangerous it is to use this gift.

What I was thinking was interrupted when Amelia out of nowhere grabbed my cock.

"A-Amelia?"

Amelia was rubbing my dick inside my pants while breathing heavily.

"P-Please Kase... I want you right now." Amelia said erotically.

"Wait... are you sure you want to do it now?"

I forgot that the excitement she feels is extremely greater moments after I reapply the effect. She must be really horny right now to think clearly.

"I love you, Kase!! Please never leave me!! Make me forget."

...There is no going back with Amelia, "If that's what you want, I'll fulfill your wish."

After pleasing Amelia, I took her to the mansion to rest. Although I also wanted to rest, I still had to go to the castle to report what had happened and after that go to the guild to do the same report. So fucking annoying.

Walking towards the guild master's office, I saw someone I didn't expect to see. Syvis seemed to be heading to Agnes's office as well. I heard that she would return to the guild, but I didn't think she would do it so soon. I was curious to know what they will talk about and taking advantage that there was no one around me, I used [Silent ****] to enter next to her without being seen. Neither she nor Agnes should notice I'm here. Upon entering I leaned against the wall with my arms crossed curious about what they will talk about.

"So you wanted to see me? I'm still moving to my room, so I'm busy." Syvis was the first to speak.

"Hahaha! This guild is filled with impertinent nobles, but even they would never speak to me that way."

"Well, they don't know you like I do."

"You're right. I've spend my best years with you and the rest of our party. It's a shame that now we are the only two left." Agnes said as she stared at the window, "Do you remember when we voted for who would die first? Everyone thought that I would be the first because of how reckless I was. hahaha!"

"It is a miracle that you are still alive if you ask me." Syvis answered her, "Adam must be happy from his grave considering he was the only one who vote that you would become an old woman."

Agnes sighed and continued, "Ohh, the lovely Adam. Thinking about them makes me emotional. I guess sentimentality comes with age."

So this is the kind of relationship the two of them have.

"And did you call me to talk about the past? I warn you that I can't now." Syvis said crossing her arms which makes her huge breasts rise.

"Always so impatient. Some things never change. Of course, I didn't call you to talk about the past. Now that you are back in the guild, what do you plan to do?"

"I already told you. I want to continue my alchemy research and I can help you with quests from time to time."

Agnes moved from the window and sat in the chair in front of her desk, "It doesn't bother me that you continue with your alchemy research, but there is something I want to propose to you."

"Mhn? What?"

"Now that the demon invasion is imminent, I want to make a team with the best adventurers in our guild."

"A team? Why do you want to do something like that? Weren't you the one who told me once that it's not efficient to have the best members in one party?"

"The times are not the same. You know what happened a few days ago with the attack on the villages. From now on, similar or more difficult quests will appear. I cannot risk sending an elite adventurer with an average team and being not good enough and end up losing their lives."

"Well, I see where you're going. It is true that moving the army like the kingdom did on this occasion is not a good idea. They will have to depend on the guilds."

"I want to have a strong enough party which can take care of that kind of quest, and for that, there could be no dead weight. Each member must be exceptional. You know well how strong demons are. We lost friends in the past at their hands."

So a team with the best of the guild. I guess it will be formed around me.

"So, you want me to be part of this team!?" Syvis asked.

"That's correct! I don't trust anyone else like I do you. You have the strength and the experience. And in the same way, it worries me that you will be left alone. I don't have much time to live anymore."

"You worry too much. And what has one thing to do with the other?"

"I'm the guild master. My job is to worry. I have to make sure that the members of this guild come back alive after each quest, and above all, I worry about you. I know that once I die, you will have no one else. I know how unpopular you are."

"And do you think joining your super team will change that?"

"I think it will. You can make new friends and maybe find someone to spend your days with."

Syvis was silent for a moment as she stared at Agnes and with a serious face spoke, "You are planning something! I know you."

"Well, there will be handsome men from good families in that team. I would like that before I leave this world to see you with someone who cares about you. You are always on your crazy trips. I never know if you are well or if you need help. I don't even remember the last time I saw you with someone."

"That's not all. You are hiding something else from me."

"Do you know Kase?"

"I knew it!! Crazy bitch!"

"Hey!! Don't call me that!! Kase will be the new guild master once I retire. Yet he is too immature and acts without thinking things through. If someone like you were by his side guiding him, it would take a great burden off me."

"It's always about this guild. You already gave your whole life for Oblivion. I am not going to do the same."

"Think about it. He's handsome, famous and from a good family. No matter what trouble you get into, he could help you. Also didn't you say that your type was someone attractive and competent!? He's all that plus I've heard he's good in bed."

"W-WHAT? -I-I don't care about any of that." Syvis replied with a flushed face.

"Come on you don't have to pretend with me. You are a dark elf! I know that sex is important to your race even if you deny it."

"I don't want to continue this conversation. Now I remember why there are times I can't stand you. With you, it's always about Oblivion and noble families."

"You're being very unfair! You know I didn't have a choice. And what I'm telling you is for your sake."

"But you did. Besides, I already have someone."

"Stop lying"

"I'm not lying. I-I really have someone." Syvis responded blushing again.

"My god! You're turning red. You're not lying! Tell me what family is he from? Do I know him? Who was he able to break that heart of ice?"

"I'm not that cold!! And he is not from any noble family. I met him in the castle. His name is Darx."

"Darx? I feel like I've heard that name before."

"You see now why I can't follow your crazy plan!?"

"But tell me who is he? Is he really a better option than Kase?"

"Of course it's better. And I... have... feelings for him...."

"It's so funny to see you that way. I thought I wouldn't see you acting like a maiden in love again. But are you sure he's the right one?" Agnes questioned her, "If he was in the castle and he is not from a noble family, it means that he is from some village. Also, his name doesn't appear on the list of the new A or B ranks, so he must be of a low rank."

"There are things that matter more than family names or ranks. The reasons why I like him have nothing to do with that."

"From my experience, there are more important things than love." Agnes began to speak with a more serious tone, "You know that I loved Adam. At that time I didn't care that he wasn't from a noble family. I was enraged and hurt when my family **** me to separate from him. But seeing the past, I know that if I had run away with him, as he asked me, I would have regretted my decision. I am not made to live as the wife of a former adventurer in a village far from everything, and neither are you. Even though I never loved someone like I did with him, I achieved my goals and got married. I had a good life that I don't regret. And when I remember Adam, I remember him with affection and not with hatred, as I would have done, if I had gone with him and left everything behind. It is better to decide thinking about what benefits you than what you feel."

"You and I are not the same. We don't want the same things from life. Now if that's all, I'll go back to my duties."

"Don't be like that. I'm saying it for your sake, ...You know that difficulties await you."

After a few seconds of silence, Syvis spoke, "I am not a little girl. I can take care of myself and make my own decisions. Now if there is nothing else, I'm leaving."

"Think about what I told you. I expect a positive response."

Syvis left the room slamming the door.

"What a bad temper..." Agnes muttered.

Wow, I heard a really interesting conversation. This may be my gateway to get closer to Syvis. Now that I can't depend on [Broken will], it's time to go back to the old ways.

"Stop hiding and show yourself at once." Agnes said staring menacingly in my direction.

Is she talking... to me? It is impossible! I'm under the effects of [Silent ****]...

"I know you're here, Kase."

Without choice, I revealed myself to her, "How did you know?"

"Is spying one of your hobbies now? You're underestimating me if you thought I wouldn't notice."

"...I cannot deny that I am surprised."

"Hmm, don't worry too much. Probably just me and Aelbrecht are the only ones who can see through your skill. That skill of yours is like none."

"If you knew... why you didn't say anything before?"

"I wanted you to also hear what I said to Syvis."

Agnes wanted me to listen too!? More than once she has shown me how capable she is, but from the way she looks now, I keep forgetting that she was a famous S-Rank. In her good days, it is said that she was the only one capable of facing Aelbrecht.

"I can't deny that I was quite surprised by what you said to her." I said, "I thought you didn't like me that much. Let alone try to pair me with Syvis. Who you said was a close friend."

"What you heard is the truth! I would like you and her to be together and between the two of you take the reins of Oblivion."

"But why? Earlier you warned me not to mess with her since she was a precious friend of yours."

"She is! Both she and this guild are what I appreciate the most in this world. And it is for that very reason that I want her to protect Oblivion. There is no one better for that job than her."

"Wait, I'll be the next guild master."

"Haa! Of course, you will! Not only are you an S-Rank, but you also come from a noble family. No one would object to you being the next head of Oblivion. However, I know you and I know that you only care about the title, and if it were up to you, you would convert this place into a brothel."

"Well, I can't deny that I'm not interested in desk tasks. I want to be on the battlefield."

"It is for that very reason that you need Syvis. To be honest she would be the perfect guild master. However, nobles would never let a dark elf take over the reins of the guild they created."

"I see, if I'm getting it right, you just want to use me. You want me to serve as the image of Oblivion, while Syvis is the one truly holding the reins. You never cease to amaze me."

"Don't act like it's not in your interest too. Even though I don't like you, I know you would protect her. I don't know if you know, but Syvis is the third daughter of the Dark Elf King. Now more than ever, she needs strong allies. And if she joins the team that I proposed, she will have that and with you by her side, no one will be able to harm her."

"Is her life at risk?" I asked.

"...It likely will be soon. She doesn't know but we managed to stop an **** attempt. Also, recently she was attacked in the castle as well. I cannot let her partner be a simple low-ranking peasant."

"If you put it that way, Syvis has tough times ahead."

"As long as she is with you she will be safe. Besides, there is no one more qualified to deal with the delicate balance of Oblivion. This guild is the one that controls both the underworld and the nobility. Even though we have a bad reputation, we are proud to be the ones who control the information to protect [Riledo]. It is a difficult task to carry out. We have to do the dirty work, but our legacy will continue for many years to come if the two of you work together."

"Now I understand what you mean, but how are you going to help me? Syvis has a boyfriend now and it seems that I am not of her liking."

"Didn't you say that there is no woman who can resist you? Don't act pathetic now. No one knows her like me. I can help you with that. However, I have some conditions."

"Conditions?"

"If Syvis agrees to join the team, you guys will spend a lot of time together. I can even arrange for you two to spend time alone. I can tell you how to approach her. Nevertheless..."

"Nevertheless...?"

"If you cannot win Syvis before I retire, I will accept that Syvis has no interest in you and will support whatever decision she decides to make. Even if she decides to stay with her current partner. And above all. Promise me that you will not use dirty tricks on her. I know you and I know what you are capable of. If I find out that you hurt her in any way, I will kill you myself. I promise you that."

What a terrifying expression she has right now. She seems to mean it. Despite being just an old woman, I can feel that she is still quite strong. Either way, there is no reason for me to refuse her. Everything is at my convenience.

"If you accept my terms, I will help you."

"Ok, I accept."

Now, it only remains to count the days before Syvis become mine. From the first time I saw her, I knew that I wanted her for myself. Just thinking about her excites me.

"Just one more thing."

"Now what?"

Agnes was silent for a moment. It almost made me think that she had a hard time asking me what she wanted to ask me.

"Would you tell me what was the gift you received from the goddess?"

What?

"...It's a bold question coming from someone who never revealed the gift she received. And of course, I'm not going to tell you."

"I'm just telling you that if you use something that could affect Syvis, I'll notice it. I'm warning you."

She even thought about that possibility. But she's babbling! There's no way she can recognize my skill. Anyways, I don't plan on using that power until I fully understand the other negative effects that using [Broken Will] can have on someone.

Agnes continued, "From experience, I tell you that a power that can fulfill our darkest wishes can be more of a curse than a gift. I am not going to **** you to tell me, but I want you to keep in mind what I am saying. Don't commit the same mistake that I and many others did."

The same mistake? What is she referring to? I don't even know what her gift was. However if she had told me this days ago, I wouldn't have cared about her advice. Unfortunately, I think I am beginning to understand what she means.

It seems that there will be no time to get bored. I have to find out what is happening with Amelia and how she managed to break my skill. Ilene will be coming to town in a couple of days. Ohh... I'm looking forward to seeing her again. And especially, if everything goes well, Syvis and I will spend more time together. With Agnes's help, I'm going to make her mine. She promised to help me with my sister. I guess I can start from there.
