66 Chapter 66: Mana gems (2/2)

”Haha, that is enough storytelling for now… I will tell you more about me later” Caesar chucked softly and pulled Ahri into his embrace.

Ahri was still slightly angry at Caesar, ”you said you were afraid that I wouldn't accept you for who you were, why is that?” Ahri asked while nestling her head in Caesar's sturdy chest.

”On my path to the top I had destroyed many careers, lives, dreams, and I even lost myself while climbing the ladder… I controlled people with fear and by manipulating their self-interest, I am not a good man” Caesar said with a self-deprecating smile.

Ahri raised her head and studied the insides of Caesar's eyes deeply, ”Even I have killed many people, there is no such thing as a good-man anymore… as long as you don't betray me and continue to love me, It doesn't matter what you did” Ahri said soothingly.

Caesar pecked Ahri's lips, ”you are truly a great woman” Caesar complimented with a sly smile.

Ahri nestled closer to Caesar and sat down on his lap, she rested her head on his shoulders and smiled comfortably.

”No great man has walked a clean path, and besides, every emperor needs a empress” Ahri smiled and whispered into Caesar's ear.

Caesar leaned down and whispered back into Ahri's ears, ”are you sure? Emperors tend to have tons of concubines” Caesar said teasingly.

”Hmph, only women that sell themselves short would allow their husbands more women, and besides, I hate those fickle men that consider themselves worthy of many different women… it's clear that they just don't respect their first wife enough” Ahri spoke coldly.

”Does that mean you won't allow me to have an imperial harem?” Caesar laughed loudly and continued to tease.

Ahri rolled her eyes, ”Sure you can have an imperial harem, you just won't have your 'spear' to do anything to them” she spoke coldly and glanced at his groin.

Sweat formed on Caesar's forehead as he examined her very serious expression… ”you don't have to worry darling, I prefer prideful women anyway” Caesar soothed the raging inferno by his side and smiled comfortingly.

”Haha, I know, I was just messing with you” Ahri laughed merrily and kissed Caesar's cheek.

Seeing that Ahri was no longer mad Caesar wrapped his arms around Ahri and put his arms around her waist, ”I'm quite hungry” he whispered seductively.

Ahri flinched slightly and glanced at Caesar, ”y-you can have some of my blood, but you can't do anything else… Edward is sleeping right there” She hesitated for a second but relented in the end.

”You didn't seem to mind Edward's presence last time, you even moved your hips yoursel-” Caesar's words were soon cut off by an elbow striking him in the gut.

”S-s-shut up you rogue!” Ahri protested.

Caesar smiled wryly and stopped teasing her, he moved his fangs closer to her neck.

*puch*

Caesar penetrated her neck with his fangs and softly sucked out some of her mana, the taste of her mana was delicious, probably the best thing Caesar had ever tasted.

This continued for about a minute before Caesar finally parted from her neck, her body went limp in his embrace and her breathing was heavy.

”I-I don't think I can ever get used to that feeling” Ahri complained quietly.

”I'm sure one day it will come naturally” Caesar made a satisfied smile and gentled rubbed Ahri's hair.

They stayed in this comfortable position for the entire morning and noon, Joe at the front of the carriage rushed the horses as fast he could… He looked at the mountains eagerly.

”I might be able to make a magic accessory soon!” Joe muttered to himself happily and urged the horses to run faster.

Inside the carriage, both Caesar and Ahri fell into a deep sleep. The sound of their rhythmic breathing echoed out inside the carriage.
