I Will Be The Harem King 46 Irene Belserion 2

Of course we do fight from time to time but that is for training purpose only. As for arguments, we had a few but that was about things so insignificant that we forgot about it the very next day. Let's talk about what happened during this time shall we.

Irene was able to control her heightened physical traits very quickly. It took a few months but that is considered short when said next to both of our ages. She also learned enchant magic which she was mostly known for in the canon. Over years… no, centuries, I can probably say she has just a bit to go to reach the level she was in, in the canon.

She also got the two swords which she would later enchant into Heine and Juliet respectively. Her appearance has become the carbon copy of herself from the manga. Tall, voluptuous woman with thickly braided, bow-adorned, scarlet hair. Her two front braids have two golden ornaments near the upper sections as well. She also wears two U-shaped earrings, and wears red lipstick.

As for clothing, Irene dons a risqué version of the typical witch's garb. Her black top has a diamond-shaped opening, exposing a portion of her chest, and a heart-shaped pattern around the borders. It extends down to the naval of her stomach where it meets a large angular scar, is draped over by a dark-colored cape with a light-colored inside and two gold medallion-like ornaments, and is held together by a golden chain. Her neck is decorated by other small cloth-based accessories, including a wide bow.

Aside from that, our relations.h.i.+p has also had a big improvement. We are like lovers but not at the same time. We flirt with each other a lot but apart from some simple sweet moments here and there, there hasn't been much physical affection.

"Haah, it's almost time to leave. I should just straight out tell her that she is my woman and remind her of what's to come. I hope she does things as what's supposed to happen from now on because if she doesn't I might have to come back to fix things." I mumble to myself while looking at the sky as I think of the time we spent together and the time we have remaining.

Honestly, Irene has a special place in my heart. Maybe it's because of the amount of time we have spent together or it's that night where I sat beside her while listening to her cry her heart out. But no matter what it is, she is someone special to me. So, it's going to be really tough when I actually leave since we won't be seeing each other for a while.

I put a stop to those thoughts as I head back to the cave we call home but I had already decided to part ways with her in a couple of days. I should inform her as soon as possible so that we can both be prepared for my imminent departure. While at it, I think her reaction to this can also help me gauge what her feelings for me are. While I can say that she might also have romantic feelings for me, you can never be sure.

"Hey, Irene come out for a second." I called out to her as soon as I entered the cave and soon Irene came out wearing an ap.r.o.n and holding a ladle. Nice.

"What is it? Did someone enter the mountain range?" She asked confused with her free arm on her waist probably expecting some explanation for distracting her from her cooking.

"No, that's not it. I wanted to say that I will be leaving in a couple of days. You still have around a hundred years left to wait until you have to leave here but please don't forget what you have to do then and also don't forget about Zeref." I explained to her waiting for a slightly angry shout at me leaving but not anything serious. But I didn't think her feelings would prompt such a reaction.

"I see. Well, I'll head back to cooking then." She just stood there silent for a while and soon left along with those words with an expressionless face. What the h.e.l.l. Is that it? She's probably just sad right? Right?

I head inside just to make sure that there is indeed a real reaction from her and as soon as I entered the kitchen part of the cave, I had the sudden chills. Is winter coming? Why is it so cold? I looked to my right and saw Irene near the pot slowly stirring it. It was eerily quiet in here. I really don't like the silence right now.

"Uh, hey, Irene how about I help you out. We can make some more food. Like feast for my departure you know?" I said that to ease up the mood but who knew that I had p.i.s.sed off someone even more than she was right then.

*Clang*

Irene dropped the ladle she was holding into the pot roughly and terrifyingly turned just her head towards me. With her back towards me. Just her head. With her eyes shadowed. Someone like you who has never experienced this will never understand how terrifying it is. Wait who am I talking to again.

"You have quite the nerve don't you? I knew you acted smart but didn't really know how a woman's heart worked but this is ridiculous." Irene kept mumbling to herself for a while until finally she blew the fuse.

For the next few hours, it was h.e.l.l. I was tortured beyond belief by Irene until she finally stopped and explained to me why she was so p.i.s.sed. I mean, I also knew she was going to be angry but not to this extent. Apparently she had already fallen for me but she was waiting for me to make a move on her. Like for the last 60 years. Wow, talk about patience. Anyway, after she calmed down and the both of us were sitting down, I told her that i still had a few more things to do and that we can finally be together in the future when things calm down for me. But of course it will start getting chaotic once canon starts but until then it will be calm.

And so for the next few days, Irene and I both were like newlyweds, acting lovey-dovey. We didn't cross the final line considering she was pregnant but the connection was still there between us and it will only continue to grow.
