The Conquerors Path

Chapter 513 513-This Is Just The Beginning.

ʼGuess that end is covered up.ʼ

I thought as I left behind Olivia, heading back to my manor. All around me, several students were moving around, heading to their classes or places to better themselves. In fact, I have my own classes to attend to, but then again, my position grants me several concessions, so I am fine for now.

By now, a flame of desire to get stronger is burning deep within Oliviaʼs heart, one that will bring her power and abilities to a level never seen before. The life that Olivia lived is perfect; she is talented, powerful, and has a great background, and now no one is there that can take her position away from her after her brother was taken down.

Adding on to it, there is me, the perfect lover in her life. Everything is set for her, life is smooth sailing in her eyes, thus taking away any great future initiatives to improve. But after the story and play I did in front of her, she would definitely give her 200% to get stronger than ever, which will then work perfectly for me.

Humming a bit, I reached my manor and entered inside. Walking through the corridors, I met Clara, waiting for me as always with a smile on her face.

”Which poor soul did you play with yesterday night?” She asked with a sly smile.

”Well, a bit of my family and then the future Empress of my Empire,” I replied with a teasing tone as I reached Clara and placed a kiss on her lips. Right now, there wasnʼt anyone near us, so I did a little daring play to make Clara happy, and clearly, it made her happy, seeing how her face lit up from my kiss.

”There is a certain someone waiting in your office,” Clara then said. Hearing this, I nodded my head and started to walk towards my office, leaving Clara to her duties. Unlike me, she canʼt just cut her class; now that would have problems. Walking through the hallways with some servants walking around, I soon entered my office, where I came upon a girl waiting for me.

She looked petite with brown hair and eyes, with freckles on her face. Overall, the word ”cute” can be used for her. Seeing her, I nodded my head at her as I walked through my office to my seat. Taking a seat, I looked at the girl and spoke in a serious voice.

”You know the drill. You are only supposed to contact me through our secret communications.”

Hearing my words, the girl nodded her head and started to speak. Surprisingly, her voice was that of a man!

”Iʼm sorry, but there is something important that I have to convey to you, and this has to be done one on one.”

Saying so, ʼsheʼ walked up to me and passed me a file, which I took and started to read through. While I was doing so, the ʼgirlʼ started to play with her throat to make it work better.

ʼUm... this is not good.ʼ

After finishing the file, I kept it back on the table, my mind playing around with the information as I looked towards the ʼgirlʼ who, in actuality, is a guy who is using a magic artifact to fool the eyes of everyone, but its to mainly fool Leonardo.

Yup, thatʼs right. He is my secret spy to keep an eye on Leonardo. You see, after I threw Leonardo out of my faction, it isnʼt easy for me to keep an eye on him and his movements, not when that stupid sword of his has a greater sense than anyone else. And this is where this guy comes in. In actuality, he exists within the academy from the very start, and that too as a girl.

I had sent him to the academy before dressing up as a girl. He is a sleeper agent of the DarkNight, someone well-trained in the arts of assassination, espionage, and playing different roles. I had him stand by until the beginning of the realm attack. The guy in front of me also entered the realm, and his main goal was to stick to Leonardo by mistake.

Ever since I met Leonardo, I placed a tracking spell on him, one very unique, courtesy of the system. And I had given its marking to the guy in front of me, who played his role as the perfect damsel in distress. He quickly got added to Leonardoʼs new group of friends that he formed at the realm battle.

I had my own things to do, and I couldnʼt keep track of Leonardo. Thatʼs where Sleeper 007 came into play. The disguise of a girl that needed saving worked perfectly. His role of seducing Leonardo without him understanding it is also going well. Right now, he is very close to Leonardo, within his inner circles, and is sticking to him 24/7.

But here one might ask, why not use a real girl to play the role? Isnʼt that better?

Sadly, it isnʼt. Aside from the fact that I have to keep girls away from Leonardo, I couldnʼt take the risk of putting a real girl close to Leonardo. Who knows how the luck around him might work to twist my own agent against me? One must not forget he is the protagonist of the Eroge game that made powerful women fall under him due to the luck around him.

Granted, everything was player-controlled, but the circumstances for those controls to take place resulted in due to the luck surrounding Leonardo. And I must be damn dumb to send a girl to Leonardo as a spy. That would just be me shooting myself in the foot.

”So how is he?” I asked. After some contemplating, my question caused a very serious expression to take place on Agent 007ʼs face.

”Honestly, I feel like he is blessed by the world itself. If I wasnʼt a man but a girl, then I would have surely fallen in love with him due to the things we went through,” he replied.

ʼYeah, I can guess.ʼ

”Elaborate for me,” I spoke. Seeing so, he took a deep breath as he started to speak.

”You might not believe it, but ever since I met him as a damsel in distress back in the realm, things that can get any girlʼs heart pounding started to happen around him. Even for me, a person trained to the limit in controlling my body lost the sense of whatʼs happening.”

Taking a break here, he continued again.

”One moment, I slipped and fell on him in a very inappropriate manner. There was even a time when a wind flow happened that just happened to only target my skirt. Situations that can affect a girlʼs emotions kept happening around him. Itʼs truly a bizarre thing.”

ʼI can agree with that, brother.ʼ

”What else took place?”

I asked.

”Other than that, his luck in other things was amazing too. You see, back in the realm, he seems to keep finding treasure and stuff. Whatʼs hard for others seems to come easily to him. And even without true leadership charm and cunningness, he seems to gather people of trust around him. Itʼs as if the world is gifting him people.”

I nodded my head at it as I asked my other question.

”What about girls other than you?”

This made Agent 007 frown a bit as he spoke.

”They seem to be coming to him like leeches to blood. Most of my work was keeping him away from girls that somehow keep popping by his side. While they joined the group, I had to work my ass off to prevent the unbelievable situations that happened to me not to happen to the other girls.”

ʼI get that, brother. I truly get that.ʼ Holding back the words that I wanted to shout out, I focused back on the topic at hand.

”Is everything written in here correct?”

As I asked, I lifted the file that 007 had presented to me. To my question, all he did was nod his head.

ʼDamn it, this bastardʼs luck is flying through the roof.ʼ I cursed out.

[Thatʼs because of you, donʼt you know that?]

That system asked.

ʼI do, and thatʼs whatʼs pissing me off. I break my heart and mind to get till here, and fucking luck seems to be sucking his dick for him.ʼ

[Well, thatʼs what happens when you really start to rip what should be his from him]

I didnʼt respond to it as I leaned back in my chair. There are some girls that I have yet to make more important contact with, not because I donʼt want to, but because their time isnʼt here yet. Their own arc has yet to begin and be dealt with. This all requires precision and control from me if I want to reach the ending I want.

ʼHow much is his luck acting up?ʼ

I asked.

[Due to the ones you have taken away, the world fate-like is trying to compensate him in other ways. But then again, arenʼt you dealing with that also?]

ʼHow long till the emergence and awakening of the other two so-called protagonists?ʼ

[Not long]

ʼThen I guess I will have to start my preparations for the other 2 soon.ʼ Because itʼs simple. The game has three playable main male characters; Leonardo is just the beginning. Right now, they havenʼt become special. My job was always to make all of them never reach their full potential, and I will make it happen through hook or crook.

(A/N: For those with doubts, in the starting part of the story, the main mission is to make the protagonists life hell)
