CEO In A Fantasy World Chapter 89: Chapter 89: Second Meeting

The next morning, the light that emerged into the room woke Caesar up. His eyelashes fluttered as he opened his eyes and yawned loudly.

He could feel something slightly heavy on his chest, so he tore the covers off of his body and could see that Ahri was comfortably nestling atop his chest.

Caesar smiled wryly and gently brushed Ahri's hair for a few minutes before her eyes abruptly opened up, she raised her upper body and rubbed her sleepy eyes… her folded ears on top of her sleepy expression created quite the cute image.

"Good morning, no, good afternoon" Caesar whispered softly as he also raised his upper body.

"Good afternoon, how come you came to my room last night?" she asked, still half-asleep.

"I can't seem to fall asleep without you in my bed…" Caesar said teasingly as he got out of bed and stretched his limbs.

Ahri, who was now fully awake, examined Caesar closely before giggling, "liar, you probably forgot where your room was"

Caesar's actions momentarily halted as he looked at Ahri with surprise… a woman's intuition was indeed dreadful.

"Haha, did I get it right?" Ahri asked playfully as she got out of bed and walked to her closet to pick out a few pieces of clothing, her past embarra.s.sment of being nearly nude in front of Caesar was practically gone.

Caesar didn't respond and just smiled wryly, he took out a luxurious suit that was dyed black with red pinstripes, the stripes were delicately engraved into the suit and looked similar to chains. He finished off the suit with silk gloves, brushed his hair, and sat back down on the bed.

By the time he was finished dressing, Ahri was also dressed up in an elegant looking kimono... it was raven black with a burgundy sash around her waist.

"You are certainly looking excellent today… whats the occasion?" Ahei asked curiously, Caesar didn't always dress so nicely.

"Haha, I'm going to be the center of attention today, naturally, I have to look the part" Caesar replied while chuckling softly.

*knock*

*knock*

Suddenly, loud knocking interrupted their conversation and a respectful voiced sounded out from behind the door.

"Empress, your grandfather has called another meeting... "

*creak*

Caesar opened the door and surprised the young maid, he examined her face for a moment and realized it was the exact same maid that had spotted him and Musas.h.i.+ last night.

She had medium length brown hair and was probably only about 4 ft tall, she looked up at Caesar with surprise and glanced between him and Ahri for a few seconds before blus.h.i.+ng furiously.

"T-two timin-" before she could finish her words, Caesar put his hand over her mouth and radiated a deep killing intent.

He leaned toward her and whispered in her ear, "don't create a misunderstanding, who knows how hard it will be to explain to her"

The maid nodded her head enthusiastically, seeing this, Caesar let go of her mouth and could see two small streams of blood exit her nose.

"S-sorry, I'll be more careful next time," she said while bowing apologetically.

Ahri was a few feet away from Caesar walked up and glanced between Caesar and the maid skeptically… "you two know each other?" she asked.

"Negative, she just reminded me of someone I knew back in Rahvin kingdom... " Caesar explained with a calm smile.

"Hmmm" Ahri hummed mysteriously as she studied the young maid girl before wrapping her her arms around Caesar as if she was declaring her territory.

Caesar smiled wryly and they all walked to the meeting room in a strange atmosphere...

About 5 minutes later, they reached the large double doors, the young maid slid open the doors and gestured for both Caesar and Ahri to walk in.

Before stepping in, Caesar leaned down and whispered into Ahri's ear… "are you sure you want to show affection in front of the clan heads? I had a.s.sumed you wanted to keep our relations.h.i.+p a secret" Caesar asked slyly.

"It's better this way, I'm tired of the clan heads bringing up the marriage thing" Ahri replied firmly and led Caesar into the meeting room.

The 13 clan heads at the table all directed their attention to Caesar and Ahri as they walked in, at the side of the table, another creature was joining them in the meeting room, this was, of course, the kobold elder.

"Sit" Musas.h.i.+ motioned to the seats on his left.

Caesar and Ahri both nodded their reads respectfully and sat down where Musas.h.i.+ had directed them… Once seated, Musas.h.i.+ tapped his armrest and commenced the meeting.

Right as Musas.h.i.+ tapped his armrest, one of the clan heads at the corner of the table stood up, he had long flowing green hair and looked much more feminine compared to the others.

"I believe we should address the issue of Mr.Caesar speaking for the clan and creating an alliance with the kobold tribe without addressing any of us first," The man said while looking at Caesar apathetically.

"What's the problem? We need more allies to fight in the war, anyway" Faust rebuked.

"The problem is that we are giving him far too much freedom, what if he was a spy placed by the trolls?" the man with green hair snapped back.

Musas.h.i.+ suddenly waved his arms, "Charlie, tell us what happened that night" he asked curiously and Charlied walked into the room.

Caesar's lips curled as he observed Charlie, he had two options… He could lie and make Caesar's prestige fall, or, he could a.s.sist Caesar.

Charlie walked to the end of the table and cleared his throat, he slightly glimpsed at Caesar before speaking.

"Last night, we did as ordered and successfully eradicated the trolls trying to abduct the kobold women, however, right as we were about to leave, an even larger group of trolls, alongside a ceros, attacked… Vastly outnumbered, we were on the verge of losing the battle before Caesar came in and helped us, I and the rest of the elites owe our lives to him" Charlie spoke respectfully and truthfully.

Many of the clan heads around the table nodded their head in approval, while the man with long green sat down and crossed his legs carrying a contemplative expression.

Charlie's words soon continued…

"This brings us to the conclusion that the trolls had somehow known where we were going to strike," Charlie said while scanning the room.

The air in the room solidified and the clan heads at the table furrowed their brows, this was a very sensitive subject that was rarely brought up.

"Are suggesting that one us has betrayed the clan?" Faust asked while examining his son closely.

"I don't want to think that is the case, but, that is the only possible explanation," Charlie said while walking to the side of Caesar and winking at him.

Caesar rolled his eyes and stood up, he walked to the table in the middle of the room and grabbed everyone's attention.

"Whether there is a spy or not, weeding out the spies will take far to long and the problem will be resolved too late, so I'm going to suggest a few alternatives"

Caesar paused for a second and continued…

"Can we call the farmers to the meeting? I'm sure I could give some advice, my agriculture techniques are quite advanced if I do say so myself" Caesar spoke confidently and everyone looked at him questioningly.
