CEO In A Fantasy World Chapter 41: Chapter 41: Promise

*clak*

*clak*

"We have arrived, your highness" the carriage driver called out from the front and halted the horses.

*plop*

Caesar hurled the large bag of blacksmithing tools over his shoulder and stepped out of the carriage. Sebastian quickly followed after him and they both made their way to the palace.

They walked up the large set of stairs and approached the doors… The guards upon noticing Caesar's presence bowed deeply and opened the doors.

*creak*

Once they walked inside the palace Caesar turned towards Sebastian and asked: "where is joe currently staying?"

"He is staying in the left wing, he is in room number 25" Sebastian replied respectively

"Thank you, also, can you inform my father that I would like to speak with him tomorrow morning" Caesar thanked Sebastian and started walking towards the left wing.

"Your wish is my command" Sebastian replied humbly before walking towards the inner palace.

Caesar walked through the large palace and admired its elegance, pictures of famous and historical figures decorated the walls. Expensive looking vases and other eye candies were also placed on both sides of the walkways.

Maids and butlers were constantly scrambling around to clean the rooms or prepare food for the residents of the palace. Once Caesar walked by them they would bow deeply before carrying on with their task. After walking for about 4 minutes Caesar finally arrived in front of a wooden door that was labeled '25'

Caesar hesitated for second before he lifted his hand and gently knocked on the door.

*knock*

*knock*

*SPRANG*

The door was immediately thrown open and an excited looking Joe popped out… Once he saw Caesar's face he instantly calmed down and looked at Caesar with disgust.

"Hmph, I thought a woman was paying me a nightly visit, sorry brother but I don't swing that way," Joe said mockingly

Caesar rolled his eyes and walked pa.s.sed Joe, he walked inside the room and plopped the bag of blacksmithing tools on the table.

Caesar scanned the room afterward and noticed that it was quite plain compared to his, there was a small desk and bed in one of the corners and a bookcase on the opposite side. There was also a bathroom on the right side wall.

Caesar scanned Joe's bed and noticed there were a few opened books and traces of movement.

Joe followed Caesar's line of sight and coughed lightly, he walked over and subtly closed the books on his bed "Oi, why are you looking at me like I'm some kind of bug huh? Every man does it" Joe said with resentment towards Caesar

"I pity the maid that has to wash your sheets" Caesar whispered to himself barely audible enough for Joe to hear it

"f.u.c.king b.a.s.t.a.r.d, do you think you're perfect? I saw you walk in that fox girls room that one night" Joe argued

"Ahem, I brought the blacksmithing tools you asked for" Caesar cleared his throat and quickly changed the subject.

"b.a.s.t.a.r.d changing the subject" Joe grumbled as he walked over to the table and took the blacksmithing tools out one by one.

"What the f.u.c.k are these?" Joe asked Caesar bewildered

A vein popped out on Caesar's head "these are the basic blacksmithing tools you asked for"

Joe looked at Caesar as if he was an idiot "I said basic tools, you think I'm going to make a d.a.m.n magic accessory with a hammer?"

A second vein popped out on Caesar's forehead "If you needed something specific why the h.e.l.l did you tell me to get you basic blacksmithing tools"

"Heh, I thought someone of your caliber would know what to get," Joe said with a mocking smile.

*crack*

Caesar cracked his knuckles and asked Joe in the nicest way possible "so, what do you need to make a magic accessory?"

"Well first, I need a magic engraver… It looks similar to a needle but it is a great conductor for mana… I also need a magic stone that will hold and recover the mana in the accessory"

*crash*

Caesar kicked Joe in the abdomen knocking him flying from the room into the hallway "you call those basic blacksmithing tools? Are you r.e.t.a.r.ded?" Caesar smiled menacingly while walking towards Joe that was on the ground.

"Haha, you can hurt me but you will never break me," Joe said with an ugly smile.

15 seconds later….

"I-im sorry, no more Caesar, I'm your brother remember?"

"Sigh, where can I find the things you need?" Caesar breathed a long sigh and straightened out his s.h.i.+rt.

Joe that was currently under the foot of Caesar squirmed a little bit and stood back up "finding the magic engraver is easy, the magic stone is going to be tricky though"

Caesar rubbed his forehead with his index finger "you're worthless" Caesar muttered.

"Oi, I am a dwarf. I can find magic stones easily if I travel around the world" Joe roared with indignation

"Okay, the front gates are open… You can go ahead and adventure" Caesar replied with a straight face.

"Haha, did you forget that you must give me ale at least once a week?" Joe asked smugly

"Sigh, I was planning on taking you to the dark continent anyway" Caesar replied exasperatedly

"W-wait, I can probably just stay if that is the case…" Joe said quickly after hearing the words 'dark continent'

"No, no, you are definitely going… we need to calm your adventurous spirit right?" Caesar said with a sly smile while walking away not giving Joe a chance to refute his words.

"Nooooooooo!" Joe's roar echoed throughout the entire palace.

*step*

*step*

Caesar quickly walked through the palace halls without turning around. After walking for a few minutes absentmindedly he soon pa.s.sed by a familiar room.

Caesar hesitated for a few for seconds before finally approaching the door.

*knock*

Caesar lightly tapped the door, he could hear fl.u.s.tered movements from the other side of the door… After waiting a few minutes.

*creak*

The door was finally opened and Ahri poked her head out… Once she saw Caesar's face she immediately blushed and slammed the door.

*slam*

Caesar's lip twitched as he went to open the door… "locked?" he whispered to himself while looking at the door with a dumbfounded expression.

Inside the room, Ahri was hugging a pillow tightly on her bed, she had a regretful and depressed face "I want to let him in but I'm scared I won't be able to resist him and what happened last time will repeat itself" Ahri blushed just thinking about last night.

*creak*

Suddenly the door swung open and Caesar walked in with a sly smile, "is there a reason you're avoiding me?" he asked Ahri curiously

"N-not in particular" Ahri averted her eyes avoiding eye contact"

Caesar walked to her bed with steady steps and sat down next to her, he could see her visibly s.h.i.+ver once he sat down.

"Ahri, we will be leaving to your home soon… you should prepare your things" Caesar said seriously while looking at her.

Ahri abruptly turned to face Caesar with shock evident in her eyes "what about Elizabeth, or the citizens? Is it okay for you to just leave them?"

Ahri looked down at the ground and continued "I know you are just doing this because of that promise, you don't need to help my clan… I will somehow do it myself, I already thought about this today" Tears started flowing down Ahri's face

Caesar wiped her tears with his index finger gently, "Elizabeth starts school again soon, my father will solidify his position as king and give the citizens a tax-cut… Don't' worry, this kingdom can handle me leaving for a while"

*sniffle*

"W-what about the elves?" Ahri sniffled and asked in a mumbled tone

Caesar smiled and subtly started pulling her in his embrace "the elves want to regrow their forest, I had already promised them I would help in a few years" Caesar put Ahri on his lap and brushed her hair gently with his hand.

Ahri suddenly looked at Caesar "I-I don't want to get you mixed up in my problems… It wasn't always like this before b-but after that night I started getting these strange feelings, please promise me you won't' get hurt" Ahri choked on her own tears and barely let out a few words.

Caesar pulled Ahri closer in and lifted her chin up with his hands, he stared deeply into her big yellow eyes "don't misunderstand, I am not doing this because of a promise but because I want to"

"Why would you wan-" her words were cut off as Caesar pressed his lips on hers, his tongue soon invaded her mouth as he pulled her closer to him.

Ahri opened her eyes widely in confusion before slowly resigning to her fate and letting Caesar do as he pleased.

Caesar soon pulled his head back and a string of saliva connected their mouths "do you understand now Ahri?"

Caesar asked in a seductive tone, Ahri just nodded her head absentmindedly…

"Haha, you are truly a temptress but tonight is not the right time" Caesar chuckled and kissed Ahri on the forehead. He tucked Ahri into bed and whispered in her ear "we can continue where we left off at another date"

Ahri pulled the covers over her red face, seeing this Caesar smiled wryly and walked out of the room… Once he closed the door behind him he started breathing heavily.

"The amount of self-control I have astonishes me" Caesar muttered to himself as he walked down the long halls to Elizabeth's room.

*creak*

"Daddy! I was waiting for you, I thought you had forgotten our promise" a cheerful voice rang in Caesar's ear immediately after he opened the door.

Caesar smiled and hugged Elizabeth tightly, he placed her on the large bed and laid down next to her… after a few minutes, a cute voice rang next to Caesar's ear "when are you going to make it so all three of us can sleep together?"

"Haha, in due time darling" Caesar replied back sweetly

"Hehe, what do you like about mommy?" Elizabeth asked curiously

"She is the first woman to ever put my safety before her wants, and I would be lying If I said I Wasn't moved by her compa.s.sion"

"Are you sure you're not just entranced by her beauty?" Elizabeth asked doubtfully.

Caesar kissed Elizabeth on the forehead "I can only be moved by what's inside here" Caesar tapped Elizabeth where her heart is located.

"Now, it's time to sleep," Caesar said quietly as he pulled the covers over them.
