Chapter 60: More interest
"Let's fight," Schnee said with a wide smile, letting out taunting kitty noises.
But in her human form, Schnee had just kitty ears and tail. Those kitty noises and her beautiful figure provoked a different side.
Alex didn't react like Schnee had expected, though.
He didn't flinch or run his eyes around her curves. Instead, he stood with a serious expression, his view fixed on Schnee's charming face.
He looked so grave that Schnee sighed, "Why so serious?"
After talking with Sara, Schnee realized that Alex had already influenced the dullahan big sister too much. Although Sara spoke with responsibilities on the line, Schnee saw through her support and feelings toward Alex.
Their relationship made significant progress.
Using her skills, Schnee had secretly watched over Alex and Celia. Her first thought was that he would use the little daughter to his advantage.
Celia was everything Sara had. If the little one grew too close to Alex, he would be able to exploit the daughter and get that dullahan momma for himself through her.
But he took a different path. A path that aligned with his feelings.
Alex also made it easier for Schnee. For example, if he didn't close the doors to Stella's room, Schnee would have no way of looking inside and seeing through his desire toward the winged sister.
And it seemed like he also had taken a significant step with Stella as her smell was all over him. That scent reeked off the happy woman.
And since Schnee couldn't smell any sweat, she inferred that these two had taken a bath together.
In a nutshell, Alex was Celia's genuine friend. He also honestly wanted to help Sara and Stella; otherwise, he would've already exploited their weaknesses; the daughter and the laziness.
Schnee's eyes shone.
The man before her was the key to the Deathwill Kingdom's power. Schnee wanted to charm Alex and use him to overcome the system in the past. After all, the castle's facilities and power depended on the relationship.
He was their husband for a reason.
'Sara knows it too. From now on, she won't hold herself back with her support,' Schnee whispered inwardly.
They had different reasons to stay in the Deathwill Castle.
"Don't you want to know why I am still here? I could drop this disgusting place and live a better life outside," Schnee said aloud.
Alex sighed, "Isn't it because this is the legendary grade castle?"
"I have two other reasons that are much more important. If you manage to scratch me once, I will share one with you," Schnee replied.
"You seem oddly too cooperative," Alex slightly laughed.
Schnee titled her head, "You seem weirdly too calm, as if not in a mood for some exercises."
Alex chuckled, "It's because I had a good bath with Stella. She's still on my mind, you know?"
"So much for our charm skill battle," Schnee rolled her eyes.
But as the atmosphere between them softened, Alex gravely nodded.
He was serious because it was Schnee before him. But as he had Stella's nude body on his mind, her skills naturally didn't work against him. Even if she went naked before him, he would barely react.
Only a skin contact would draw attention.
That was because Stella was as sexy as this cat. They both had their unique charm. To shake off each other's charm Alex, the ladies would need to work toward it a little.
Anyway, they weren't in such a relationship with him to fight over his attention.
Nonetheless, it was a serious situation!
'I can see what kind of party member she is,' Alex inwardly uttered.
It was not time to reminisce about the winged beauty.
Alex narrowed his eyes and faced Schnee properly. He summoned his ice sword and tightly gripped its hilt.
A standard player party would have most weaknesses covered; they would have a tank or two at the front. They would have constant close and long-distance damage dealers; swordsmen, spearmen, archers, mages, and so on. And then, they also would have a healer!
'In our current party, Stella is a healer. Sara can take the front with me, and we both can juggle the enemy's attention between us. What about you, Schnee?' Alex prepared his mind against the peculiar enemy.
As his battle mood heightened, Schnee's smile widened, "Just a scratch is fine."
[Alexander Deathwill Lv. 27]
[Schnee Deathwill Lv. 30]
[Five minutes later.]
BANG!
[You have lost -21 HP!]
'This woman!' Alex shouted inwardly while wiping off blood on his lips.
He lifted his eyes, looking for Schnee's whereabouts.
Unfortunately, he couldn't find her at all. She disappeared from his view as if she wasn't here at all. Worse, her attacks had been utterly shaming Alex's pride!
What the hell happened in those five minutes?
In a nutshell, Schnee punched Alex twenty-one times!
'After the battle started, I immediately charged at her. But she just disappeared from my view, and I couldn't find her at all. Then, she just punched me and punched, not giving me any chance to strike back,' Alex grew furious with each punch.
The reason was that Schnee's punches didn't hurt him at all. The first punch cost him one health point. Her second punch cost him two health points, and she had been stacking up those attacks ever since the beginning of the battle.
And then… her laughter echoed through the castle and Alex's mind.
"Hey, Alex! If I win, what will I get?" Schnee chuckled; her voice turned louder and louder, mainly her laughter, "At first, I thought I would force you to serve me for some time… But the angrier you look, the funnier it gets! It reminds me of my time back in my clan! Haha!
I've already received a reward from you, but women tend to get greedy, right? One day of being my servant will do."
Schnee had been having a lot of fun!
Alex wasn't a masochist, but her laughter was kinda nice to his ears. Perhaps, it was a skill as Alex's pain became milder after every giggle.
Nonetheless, he would lose if nothing changed.
Alex spat a little blood and replied, "One day of being a servant? You can join our hide and seek games if you are that lonely, Schnee. I would never mind hiding in some cramped room with you."
"Oh? You developed more interest in girls, didn't you? That's just expected with such three hotties like us," Schnee sneered from the shadows.
And who wouldn't develop more interest after that time and incidents with the Deathwill Sisters?
Alex smiled broadly and focused on the battle, "Sorry, it just came naturally."
