Desire's Vessel: My Lewd Reincarnation-Chapter 31: Expense!

~Ding!~

~Vessel has formed Cosmic Bond with Elyria Valthorne who has the title Desire’s Slut~

~Elyria now has unconditional loyalty for the vessel and a passive boost of 1,000 Desire Points will be awarded per day.~

~Hidden Quest has been initiated: Male Prostitute~

A series of Desire System’s prompts echoed in Zaja’s mind. He ignored them nonetheless, focusing on Elyria who was still silently crying on against his chest.

"Here... Thornhill son" she said, with her face still pressed against his chest, Elyria raised her right hand revealing a violet and black card that shimmered with dazzling energies.

Zaja’s eyes widened upon spotting the card and he immediately snatched it from her, as he sensed the astronomical reserves of wealth inside.

’A card with a quantity of Urns worth about 2 million Arcane crystals! This automatically makes me among the top 10% of society! I’m a fucking rich man!’ he looked at the card with intense admiration as his heart started doing cartwheels, forgetting about Lady Elyria for a moment.

"That’s for your prostitution fee, that should cover for past and future... Although I’m surprised that you actually took it." Watching Zaja salivate at his newly gained wealth, Elyria stared slack jawed, unable to believe that Zaja actually took the money.

"Oh My Lady, of course. I will never refuse a beauty’s hard earned money, especially if she wants my cock in return, so don’t hesitate to bring me more Urns. I will only love you more if you do such" Zaja replied without hesitation, kissing Lady Elyria on the cheek and then kissing the violet card.

"You ARE literally a Man-whore..." In that moment, Lady Elyria couldn’t help but wonder if by preventing Zaja’s from owning wealth and property growing up, she’d not contributed to turning him into a literal male prostitute hungry for material things.

"But that’s by the way... How in Helios name are you going to respond to the Queen Mother’s offer? Or should I say... Demands" Elyria asked, causing Zaja to snap out of his money worship state and regain a serious look.

"Oh, the best way to respond is to tell her that I indeed accept her offer," Zaja said in a casual tone, making Elyria body to heat up in frustration and anger.

"Oouuuuiii... Easy Mommy tiger, don’t worry I do not plan to become the husband of the Kings favourite cum slut anytime soon. Not now, not in years to come, like I said, the Queen Mother doesn’t care about Hillary’s future. She just wants someone she can control by my side and marriage is surely a convenient excuse"

"We will play along for a minute and use the marriage as bait to bring the pieces of the heist together," Zaja said and leaned towards Lady Elyria’s ear, whispering the details of his plan so only her alone could hear.

Elyria’s eyes widened, stretching farther than she had ever, as a mix of shock and fear lit up in her eyes.

"Sweet Helios father of the sun!!!!"

"That is quite the risky plan Thornhill son. But I do see potential and if we manage to succeed, the future is ours..." Elyria said.

"... However, if we manage to fail... We will loose everything." Zaja finished Elyria’s sentence as if he read her mind perfectly.

The two stood there in silence for a bit, Zaja wasn’t just greedy for wealth. The Crimson Deity Vessel wanted to build his powerbase as soon as possible so he’d be in a position to rescue his half sister— Lira. And he indeed had a plan to build that powerbase in minimal time.

But for that grand plan to be fruitful, several factors had to unfold in one night, including events that Zaja couldn’t possibly control.

"We are not going to fail, because my plan is absolute... I am absolute and I am always right, so we have nothing to worry about except execution..."

"We’re already at the point of no return. No matter the path we choose moving forward, the Queen Mother will try to kill me. You are growing fast, the reason the Queen Mother is showing forbearance is ’cause she can’t tell if you have somehow received the support of a superior being or just taking advantage of some ancient Special Grade artifact. When she realizes that I am your spark, you’re dead meat..."

"And sadly for us she is extremely mysterious and strong for a direct confrontation, no one truly knows what she is capable of," Zaja layered out his case. His words causing Lady Elyria to drop into a frown.

"Are you saying that I can’t defeat her? I am very confident that I am probably the strongest in the entire continent..." She said.

"Yes my Lady you are indeed arguably the strongest human in all of the continent, but I am not sure that bitch is in fact a human," Zaja said in a calm and serious tone.

"Not a human? She did exhibit supernatural powers that I couldn’t quite phantom... What do you reckon? Vessel of a god? Dragoness, demoness." Elyria asked immediately.

"That’s the problem my Lady, I just can’t tell. Not to mention the royal family is in on it too, no one knows her real name or where she originated from. However it has come to my attention that Hillary dos Wagner has also exhibited attributes of a supreme being..." Zaja said with a snuff as he dropped another bomb.

"Hillary?!! I crushed that bitch like a fucking bug! It doesn’t make sense, under the eyes of the Queen Mother, where and how would she have gotten the opportunity to contact a god?" As Elyria reached her point, the matriarch spun 180 degrees, looking in the direction of the royal palace.

"What in the hell is the Royal Family hiding?"

"You can feel it right? That subtle tang of suffocating aura, pleased to see that those years of tempering in my Shadow Sovereign Flame weren’t for nothing...".

"Now you see why we need to make a proactive move, the Royal Family of this country is a lot more crazier than any rumour could cook up. And if we don’t prepare for action, we will all be lambs when they’re ready for slaughter and I guarantee you, Valthorne will be the first name on their chopping block!"

"There’s no need to be afraid my Lady, now that my powers have awakened fully, our enemies will be playing the game of life at nightmare difficulty," Zaja said with a gentle smile then entrusted the violet card to the Desire System’s inventory and then pulled Elyria into a kiss.

THE ROYAL PALACE.

Meanwhile, in the Queen Mother’s chambers, she sat on a white throne with golden sigils all over it, quietly petting a white owl that sat on her arm while King Percival knelt at her feet. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Mother... If you will indulge in my novice. I don’t understand why you would help give Lady Elyria of Valthorne a way out, instead of help me slit her throat. Tha woman was so powerful, even matching my heavenly strength a times, so who’s to say what she could do in the future..."

The King took a few seconds for himself before continuing to speak, "I know you cannot kill her because of reason best known to you, but you could have just given me the upper hand to use my Mace to pound her whore breast back into her chest!"

Before he could utter another word, the Queen Mother pushed out a surge of Arcane energy and the owl made a short hoot.

"Silence son, I don’t care about Elyria. There is something horribly wrong going on here and it’s right under our nose! I vow to get to the bottom of it, if Elyria’s rise can help us save your father’s plan, then that’s our priority! So son, don’t forget about the bigger picture, Your father’s plan..." The Queen Mother explained, and with with a wave of her hand, the owl flew towards Percival and he disappeared in an instant.
