Chapter 69 Brocon Villainess Meets Stalker Heroine (2/2)
Let's be honest: He chose to be with her because he decided she deserved his affection. Did this mean he didn't care for her? No, not at all. He cared. He just made the choice to care a little more, a little differently, from how he did before.
It's just... he didn't gain anything by choosing her. In fact, he lost out. Vera always thought she was too lacking to have his affection. Now she was just realizing a mature body didn't matter as much as she thought it did. She still couldn't be what he'd always wanted.
All choosing her meant is that he lost the chance at something better for himself. She didn't want that.
If being with her meant he was losing so much of what he wanted in a lover, then--
”You've gotten amazingly easy to read, little tree of mine.” Damien cut in. He knew what shit she was thinking the moment he saw her and he didn't like it one bit. ”Like I said before, where am I gonna find someone who loves me as much as you do? Stupid kid, handing yourself over like that. I still can't believe it.” He wrapped an arm around her. ”But I'm glad you did. Made the decision easy.”
Damien gave her a quick kiss on the cheek. ” I don't need you to be anyone but yourself, got that? I didn't lose a damn thing by choosing you. I actually gained a whole lot.”
If he didn't stomp out that inferiority complex or whatever she has now, she'll eventually get depressed and do something stupid like run away and probably get in trouble and he'd had to spend like a hundred chapters getting her back.
Damien ain't tolerating that kinda nonsense. Nope. She's perfect the way she is.
”Thank you.” Was all she said. It didn't matter. It's all she needed to say anyway.
”Now let's see how much they can take.” Damien gave an evil laugh.
”If I may, might I suggest a contest? You can make the losers wear magical girl outfits and cheer on the person who beat them in the next round. That'd motivate their fighting spirit, I'm sure.”
He grinned. ”Definitely the right choice.”

Dolly glomped the fuck out of him during his way to lunch.
The kid flew towards his waist at break-neck speed. ”Oof!” He felt the breath leave his body.
”Day, I remembered!” Her face was glowing feverishly. ”A bake sale!”
”What? Huh?” He started seeing stars. He blinked them away with a shake of the head. ”Bake sale?”
Her head of golden hair nodded seriously. ”Bake sale.” She repeated. ”The funding of the Empire begins with a bake sale. I can't believe I forgot!” She hit her head with the palm of her hand. ”Hello, Dolly! It was right there hidden in plain sight. Day, with your cooking skills we'll capture the stomachs of these walking fat purses. Then we'll open up stores. First one, then two, three, four....a hundred, a thousand…” Her hands were raised in the air.” We'll become a whole pastry food chain. An evil corporation bent on world domination! Ahahahahahahah~~~!!” The sheer malevolence contained within that laugh could chill the soul. It was kinda cute though...you could see her tiny canines
The little girl, who'd knocked him on his back through some miracle and was now straddling his waist, suddenly changed her tune. She now looked down at him with a gentle gaze, far from the little she-devil the evil and despicable chuckles would have you believe.
She held his cheeks lovingly. ”Then, once we have this realm on its knees, we'll change the laws and get married for reals! I'm thinking an outdoor wedding, what about you?”
”I...I don't think Mother and Father would agree?”
Dolly tilted her head. ”....Parricide is a small price to pay for wincest, no?”
WHO THE HELL IS TEACHING HER THIS SHIT?!
Damien started to sweat.
Her brocon is getting outta control!
”Well, that's what Riley told me when I worried about the same thing anyway. I don't really get it, but I really liked what she said.”
Riley, you stupid toad whore!
”I'm going to mary Vera though….” He revealed.
Dolly face was full of pure horror and devastation. ”What? Vee? You can't! That's way worse!” She cried. ”If you leave with her she could take you halfway across the world. I'll never see you again! Day, you can't!”
”Yeah. You can't.” A new voice joined in. ”Jeez, I'm gone for a couple of weeks and you're already cheating on me. I'M your legal wife, remember?”
Bubbles, riding a giant bubble, gently floated down. She spoke flippantly but there may have been a hint of real anger between those brows of her's.
Quick as a whip Damien replied with a, ”You are a pet.”
She gave a playful smirk. ”Yes, yours, and only in bed. Though I recall you like to make me one outside of it too. Well, I'll forgive it. As your wife,” She emphasized the word, ”I don't mind indulging you. So long as you return the favor.”
He rolled his eyes. ”What're you doing here?” He asked. Everyone nearby was watching on curiously.
”I wanted to see my hubby. What, I can't? I've come to be unable to live without my lover's touch. Take responsibility for turning me into such a naughty girl. Oh, and your Uncle destroyed my city. He was really mad about those drugs you stole. And set on fire. Barely escaped with my life.” She laughed. ”So yeah. I'm going to crash with you for a while.”
”Oh Shit. Fuck. ”
”My thoughts exactly. By the way, you do realize you're being followed?”
”Followed?”
”Yeah.” The young woman jerked a thumb behind her.
He looked behind her and found a tall blond bombshell with eyes like sparkling rubes stare unblinkingly at him from over thirty feet away.
It was a little scary.
'Who the hell are you then?!”
Wait, she looked a bit familiar…
M-Master…It's me….” She wasn't too far away and his hearing had been getting really good recently. Despite that, he still barely caught the words. And recognized the voice instantly.
”Evie?” Damien's face was full of pure horror and devastation. ”Oh gods. No. It's can't be...What did they do to my adorable loli?!”
She was a busty onee-san now, dammit!
”Also, why're you hiding behind a tree? You've been following me? ”
With half her face sticking out she nodded obediently.
”...For how long?”
”Ah. I've actually been following you for three days but was too embarrassed to speak up.”
