Chapter 23 Thoughts And Determination
Elara's red tight dress was in slight disarray, its accentuating curves of her seductive figure shifting, revealing to Adam a glimpse of her snow-white and delicate skin. Some parts of her dress slid down, revealing seductive charms that melted inside. Adam imagined the image of the graceful curves of her body, and her spectacular figure made him want to touch and explore her every curve.
Her green eyes, as bright and clear as emeralds, sparkled with lust and anxiety as well as guilt. Her eyes, full of passion, reached indomitably toward Adam, expressing not only desire but also the inner struggle she was experiencing. Her eyes reflected an inner flame, burning not only with desire but also with excitement over her own emotions.
Adam watched in silence the inner contradiction that engulfed Elara, and sighed regretfully, realizing that her lust was overcome by guilt. Elara's face was red and embarrassed, and she lowered her head and sat down in front of Adam, adjusting her clothes.
Adam knew that this was not a good time to talk, for Elara's mind was in turmoil. He had never expected to be able to completely seduce her and win her heart the first time. All the previous women Adam had managed to seduce had either been virgins without experience or widows whose hearts were empty after the loss of a loved one. But Elara was special, and he was aware that her inner world was complicated and confusing.
Adam could only patiently pursue her heart. He felt a slight headache and regret, for even with the application of the three "Casanova" skills, Adam could not seduce her. And based on that, he concluded:
The "Casanova charm" only works on those who are his equal in power. And what is meant here is the application of the skill, not Adam's natural charm. But he was determined to seduce Elara.
Not only because of revenge but also because of her intelligence. Though she looks like a femme fatale, Elara has great influence in Elfheim in terms of business and other things. Iliantra though was more influential, but she and the other elders were not at all interested in business and networking.
Each of the elders is a woman who has lived more than 500 years and has long lost interest in Elfheim affairs, giving only advice and sometimes voting for innovations.
And then comes the question: "Why not seduce Amaria?"
It's very difficult. Very, very difficult. As an elf queen, Amaria has many inhibitions, such as marriage and love. Even if Adam is handsome and masculine and has charm and charisma. Amaria cannot be with him.
The reasons are many, and the most important reason is Adam's race. As a demon, Adam is a direct descendant of the Demon Queen, the current ruler of the Chaos Empire. It was she who became the progenitor of the demon race.
She is said to be over five hundred thousand years old. So no one wanted to confront her.
Adam sighed, and a few minutes later the waiter brought them their cocktails. Adam could already sense the waiter's presence, but the waiter saw their situation and decided to wait.
Nodding his head approvingly, Adam handed the waiter ten gold Dragonstones. The waiter froze in shock, his head spinning. Adam smiled and took the waiter's hand, opened his palm, and placed the ten gold pieces in it.
"Take it, don't refuse it. Consider it my thanks for your work". Adam smiled softly at the waiter.
"T-thank you, sir!" The waiter bowed and smiled, walking away quickly. The waiter took the hint and left quickly.
Soon there was silence again, and Adam looked at Elara, who had already come to her senses. He smiled at her.
"Elara, come on, have a drink." Adam smiled softly and acted as if nothing had happened. "I know you like this cocktail."
Elara came to her senses and smiled back, taking the cocktail in her hands. Adam blinked slightly, noticing the change in her behavior. It seemed that one of her protective barriers was suddenly gone.
What are "protective barriers"? - you can ask.
When Adam moved to the third level, he could see four layers of barriers when he had a long conversation with a woman. He did not know what these barriers were called, but they looked like layers that were around his head.
This skill was called [Analysis]. Its description was as follows:
[Analysis: Casanova can see the barriers, which are a moral defense for any creature. There are four barriers in total and when all barriers are removed, the target will be seduced]
As confirmation, Adam saw no barriers in his maids. This meant that they were completely seduced and opened their hearts to Adam.
He smiled softly as he looked at Elara, who was elegantly drinking her cocktail. Adam could see her confusion and inner chaos, but he didn't do anything about it.
Given Elara's character, she doesn't like pressure and men who are too intrusive. So Adam decided to give her time and space to think, not to pressure her.
A few hours later, they both walked out of the bar. Adam, as always, accompanied her.
Under the light of the moon, their paths intertwined like stars in the night sky. Elara, filled with mixed emotions, felt every step, every touch of the ground beneath her feet as if they were leading her toward the fulfillment of her revenge and simultaneously toward an inner conflict full of romance and regret.
In determination and anger, Elara could not escape the guilt and remorse that haunted her relentlessly. Her heart wavered between the desire to avenge her husband for his betrayal and the doubts that pervaded her core.
Her eyes met Adam's, and in them, she saw a reflection of her passion and desire for revenge. But deep down inside, she was perplexed and hurt. She understood that seducing Adam not only carried the risk of losing her self-respect but also of repeating her husband's mistakes.
Under the moonlight, their footsteps pierced the night air, like a passage into an unprecedented world of emotion and determination. Elara gazed into Adam's eyes, where she saw not only her aspirations but also the shadow of doubt that tormented her soul.
Her hand squeezed Adam's arm as if it were comforting and supportive, but the true peace inside her was distorted by the bifurcation of her feelings. She felt the warmth of his touch, but also the coldness of her resolve.
When they reached the threshold of her house, Elara slowed down and looked at Adam. Her eyes were filled with complex and conflicting emotions. She felt a strong desire to avenge her husband for his treason and betrayal. The fire of vengeance burned within her, urging her to move forward and advance in power.
At the same time, Elara felt sympathy for Adam, she saw in him a potential ally and a way to achieve her goals. His cold-blooded observation and enigmatic gaze made her curious to know his true intentions.
But between these strong emotions, Elara struggled with guilt and remorse. She was aware that her desire for revenge and her desire for power might run counter to her inner convictions. A fog of doubt crept into Elara's heart, but she was willing to take the risk to achieve her goals.
At the last moment before she entered the house, Elara looked at Adam with mixed emotions. Her eyes reflected a struggle between guilt and the desire for revenge, between the desire for power and the desire to become more powerful. But in the end, determination flashed in her eyes, indicating that she was ready to go ahead and do whatever was necessary to achieve her goals.
