Chapter 452 May I have this dance?
My family also began to enjoy themselves as they mingled with the reapers. Of course, because of their relationship with me and the Sirens, they were treated like royalty.
Angela, Isolde and Claire took their respective partners and began to dance. Santi and Scott danced with a bunch of human Latinas for some reason. Even Pixie and Delroy were mixing it up.
Everyone seemed to be having fun.
Everyone except me.
Because of {Digest} I didn\'t even feel the slightest bit tipsy. It was kind of annoying not to feel even a little buzz. I couldn\'t even complain as the people of Hellsend sent me good wishes expressing their admiration, jealousy and pride.
My social battery was almost empty, and I had none of my girls to recharge it.
Lucrecia was pulled away from my girls for some reason. Other than Noelle, she was perhaps the only person they seemed to respect. They all suddenly left me to talk to her. It was suspicious in a way.
But I didn\'t care about that. What I wanted to do right now was simple.
\'I wanted to fuck the brains out of my harem.\'
The longer we stayed in this place, the more irritated I became. It was well into the next day, or July 24th, about 1 or 2 in the morning. I fought a fucking demon and now I had to deal with these fucking bastards.
The death resonance started to leak out of me subconsciously because I didn\'t even have a single Siren to kiss or caress. But there was someone who tried to pacify me at least. It was Tildi. After the reunion, it seems that she and the others from Rustler\'s Rooste came to this place immediately.
"My Lord, please wait a little longer. The Saints are working overtime to prepare your honeymoon. Good things come to those who wait," she joked.
"Tildi. Shut the fuck up before I shoot you."
"Yes, my lord," Tildi, demoralized by my harsh response, deflated like a pancake as she stood by my side.
I knew I had been overly arrogant. I brushed back my hair and apologized to her.
"I\'m sorry Tildi, that came out wrong. I\'m just a little frustrated right now."
As if her sadness earlier had been an act, the woman smiled broadly as she clapped her hands. "My lord, a little is an understatement. You are as pissed off as a wild badger. And I understand. Being a virgin at 26 is hardly something to be proud of. And it would be your first time getting laid."
Was having balls of steel a requirement for clerks? This bitch just insulted me twice. Should I slap this motherfucker?
"Why the fuck are you even here, Tildi?"
"I\'m here to make sure no pesky reapers get within 50 feet of you. Of course, my employers are the Sirens."
"..."
Wasn\'t I her employer? Fucking bitch doesn\'t even think I was her boss. Still, it made me feel better knowing my girls were worried someone was going to steal me away. Just then another clerk came up and offered me a drink.
"May I offer you a drink, my lord? I am told the preparations for your evening are complete."
Wilfred Vance offered me a glass of wine along with some good news. Then he looked at my guard and greeted her with a smile.
"Tildi. You look wonderful tonight."
"Really? I find her annoying as fuck," I blurted out.
Then I felt something hit me from behind. But because of {Limitless} I felt nothing. I turned around and saw Tildi hiding her hand, which seemed to be hurting.
\'Serves you right, bitch,\' I said with a grin.
However, Tildi was not looking at me, but making goo-goo eyes at Wil.
\'Ho? What do we have here?
Matilda Cassy was beautiful by all accounts. But being around my girls made her look extremely plain in my eyes. Yet she seemed to have her own circle of admirers. Knowing how good it felt to be in love, I decided to help them.
"Tildi, you need to learn some manners. I know the best way to punish you."
The insufferable clerk with the glasses looked at me with a weary expression. Her face crumpled up in a way that seemed to say, "Dafuq, are you up to fool?"
Ignoring her, I turned to Wil as I continued to play Cupid.
"Wil, is there something else you should be doing tonight?"
"No, my lord, I am free at the moment," the handsome clerk replied.
"Then I order you to take Tildi away before I shoot her. The farther the better. Do not let her come near me tonight."
The moment my words left my mouth, both reapers beamed with joy.
"I see, then as part of your instructions I will keep Tildi away from you for the entire night."
"My Lord, I was only trying to do my job! This punishment is too cruel."
Despite Tildi\'s bullshit, she grabbed Wilfred\'s arm and buried it in her bosom. They began to move away from me as she continued to complain.
As they left, I felt myself smile at my good deed. Hopefully, a descendant will be created tonight. Love was a powerful force that made people fight beyond their limits. And as dangerous as it was to lose a loved one in Hellsgate, it was even more tragic to have none.
A few more minutes passed before the Sirens finally appeared. They still wore their dresses, but the garments looked modified for mobility. The orchestra changed the music to a song that was close to my heart.
The Greatest Showman\'s Rewrite The Stars. Thinking it was done on purpose, I welcomed it.
"{Day by Day}".
I summoned my soul avatars and asked each of the Sirens to dance. All my life I had a song in reserve for the dance I would offer to my future bride. The idea came to me as I watched Noelle and Earl dance in bliss to different songs at their anniversaries.
"My precious Kindred, may I have this dance?" x7
For this reason, this was the only song I had memorized the steps to. Each of my girls shyly took my hand, and we each headed for our first waltz as man and wife. Because of my {Fate} I knew I would be fucking amazing.
Waltzes were timeless dances because they focused on building tension by looking into each other\'s eyes. Though there are a thousand variations, the basic steps remained the same. As the girls and I moved to the beat, their smiles were to die for.
Surprisingly, they all moved in sync with me. At every turn, spin and caress, love gushed from both sides of our Pseudo Kindred connection. I chose this song for its powerful message. And it seems the girls loved it too.
\'Bella probably prepared everyone in advance.\'
At the climax of the song, their faces had the most beautiful smiles that made my heart melt. Overwhelmed with bliss, I leaned in and kissed them tenderly. When the song ended, I saw that the dance floor was empty except for me and my battle harem.
The faces of everyone who saw us dancing showed that they were extremely happy for us. Taking this opportunity, I shouted to everyone using {Announce}.
"Thank you for coming to our impromptu wedding. But I really cannot wait any longer. Cynthia, I leave you in charge. Phillip, Vincent, if you bother me in the coming week, I will shoot you."
The rest of Hellsend and my family laughed as my girls all hid bashfully behind my avatars.
"Ma, Pa, I\'m off to make babies. Everyone else, see you in a week," I declared shamelessly.
"{PORTAL}!"
I then summoned a {Portal} to my hotel and led the Sirens inside. Applause and cheers erupted as my battle harem and I stepped into our hotel room.
