Monarch Of Darkness, Arsene Chapter 114

"Where do we begin Vader," Lilith asked as she looked up at the sun that hung over our heads.
"There should be an information network in this city. We just need to find it. I'll take the north; you take the south."
With a nod, Lilith and I flickered way in different directions. However, my first stop was not to find an underground contact but to buy some clothing. Both Lilith and I looked very out of place as we wore the clothing of a commoner in Pendragon, which was nothing but dirty rags, while everyone in Tulum wore robes.
Having a radiant smile, I stepped into a rather upscale shop, eyeing some of their merchandise, gathering some of them for Lilith and myself. I didn't bother even speaking to the disdainful merchant as I threw cash at her before leaving in a flash.
"Wa.." She called out, but I had already left, finding a dark alley to change in. I must say I kinda prefer trousers; having my junk just hanging loose felt odd. How do cultivators fight like this? Their shit could get sliced off.
Donning a fire robe that would match the black flames, I smile before leaving in a beam of crimson light. Rushing north, only to freeze with disbelief...FUCK again, Looking around, I sighed, "I'm lost."
"God, why? All I do is eat people. That's not even a crime." I cried, wandering in a lost stupor for a few hours.
"Sene?" Lilith called out as she appeared, "Did you already find someone."
"Well, about that," I weakly said as she burst into laughter when I told her I was lost.
"Just follow me. I think I got someone," She brightly said before I handed her a set of Violet robes that matched her eyes as a surprise.
Creating a void of darkness around us, I smiled, "For you, we need to blend in."
"Then undress me," she wisped, causing me to grin.
With a blush under my shade of darkness, I smiled, ripping the shirt from her body, revealing glimmering milky white skin. With a hint of fervor, I held her waist, slowly bringing down her pants as she licked her lips. With the hint of jasmine, I stared up as she waited.

"Dress me," She commanded as I covered her naked body with a fine set of Violet. A bashful blush could be seen as I tightened her robes together with a jerk as she moaned in my ear.
"Shall we go?" I asked, Lilith however, she shook her head, pointing down at my robe. "Not with that for the world to see...I could help with that, you know."
"Ah...another reason I hated robes." Looking at my spear, ready to push through my robes, I sighed as I waited for the swelling to die down as Lilith giggled. Agitating Lil Arsene as she gave it a few pokes.
Waiting for about ten minutes, I released the veil of darkness when she quickly took my arm, leading me towards an average-looking building. Nothing about this place seemed to hold any importance as I could not even feel any saint realms or higher cultivators.
Stepping in, I frown as I sensed a peculiar scent in the air. Lilith smile as a particular light flashed through her eyes, sending a chill down my spine.
"Welcome; what can we do for you young master, young mistress."
"Nora Levon of Asterion, find her and report back to me," Lilith spoke in a chilling voice as she sent me a glance.
"One million now and another when she is found," I said, handing a ring to the young-looking waitress as she flashed me a smile.
"Of course, and how will we find you?"
"I'm sure you can track us with the damn fragrance in the air," I coldly said, stepping out as the young lady turned pale.
"Should we buy a house?" Lilith asked.
"Of course, but before that, we need to visit..."
"Young master, Young Lady," a powerful force sounded as I turned to look at the young lady from before as she panted, trying to reach us. "Nora Levon contracted one of our branches in Asterion two months ago. Looking for an Arsene Snow and Yura Springfield. Along with various members of Asterion, she will be currently heading to our city on a diplomatic mission assigned by the three kingdoms. She will be here in a week."
"Ohhhhhh," Lilith suddenly smiled as she turned to look at me, "It seems we are in luck. Pay the little girl, and let's go."

Handing the young girl the remaining bit of money, I frowned with a cold grimace behind my stone mask. "Should you be lying, I will rip your throat from your body and force-feed it to you."
With a flash of red and violet, Lilith and I left as we headed north to where all the best houses were. I wasn't apprehensive about people finding out who I was, as I knew I could flee any time I wished. I just needed to be a little cautious.
'Hmmm, I think I'm getting more arrogant; how strange. It's not just arrogance; I have been feeling even more prideful and possessive ever since that day.' Is something wrong with me? Arrogance, pride, lust...what...
"Sene, we are here," Lilith called as I looked at the massive neighborhood of mansions. With widened eyes, I smiled at their aesthetic design. They reminded me of something out of the victorian era.
"May we help you...You do seem to be of noble descent, yet you are here?" a tall elderly man with a classy monocle stated with a frown. Probably assuming we already have a home. "Please forgive my rudeness. My name is Brin Olva, caretaker of these estates. Everything you see is under my supervision, including its protection. However, most of the lords here hire their own.
"We are looking for a mansion to buy, are there any available? money is not a problem." Lilith suddenly said as I nodded off to the side with a carefree expression behind my mask.
Brim's eyes seem to flash as he smiled, "THere are three Mansions left, but please remove your mask so that I may verify your identity."
Lilith didn't seem to care as she removed her mask, showcasing her beauty that surpassed the sun. I, however, hesitated before removing mine.
"Good, now last thing..."
"No, we can get a house anywhere else. Enough of these games, old man. Do not think just because you are a heavenly rank cultivator, we are fearful. We showed our faces as a courtesy, insult us anymore, and I will have your head," I cautioned with an aristocratic elegance. "I am neither form Asterion, Godwin, nor Romga, but form a hidden clan that wishes for privacy and freedom."
Brin quickly went pale as Lilith giggled, "Now Vader, why bother explaining? Let's just take his head. Olivia, can you do the honors?"
"By your will," Olivia said as she arrived before the elderly man, a horrifying power pressing down as I felt the hairs on my neck rise. It truly came as a shock as I didn't even know Olivia had returned.
"Forgive my rudeness," Brin yelled as he fell to his knees, unable even to support his body before Olivia, "I was a fool that could not even recognize...
"Mt. Tai," I finish.
"huh, what's that...I could not recognize your excellence. I swear to heavens that I Brin Olva will never in his life speak of your existence." He begged as I laughed, wondering how they knew of the earth but not Mt. Tai. It was a strange concept, but I had a few theories.
"Good Job, Olivia, that's enough. You may go," Lilith exclaimed as she took Brin's hand, bringing him back up with a kind smile. "Good, now show me the house. I wish to live with my husband."
"H-h-husband...My lady, you married," Oliva yelled as she glared at me then up to the heavens, "...All-father, forgive me. I have failed; please take pity on me."
"He is dead," Lilith coldly said, "Get over it, Olivia. "
"Nonsense, my lady," Olivia defiantly said as tears streamed for her eyes, falling like rain from her cheeks. "I know he still lives just how I know his son will rise ruling over the nine realms."
"Allfather...are you talking about Od..."
Coving my moth, Lilith nodded, "How do you know of him? It doesn't matter. Brin, just take us to any house. I'm tired."
"but of course," Brin said as he rushed ahead. Looking at the fuming Lilith and Olivia. Studying their interactions, I frowned, putting back on my mask.
"Olivia, why do you believe that the Allfather Lives?" I suddenly asked as she looked at me for the first time as if I was a real person. A radiant glimmering shone like suns as she spoke.
"Because Ashna Lives."
