Chapter 320: Guilt Ridden

Creak~!

Ninia opened the door and peeked in, but she couldn't see anyone.

"My Lord?" She called out to Zach and peeked further, but the door suddenly opened, and Zach came into her sight.

"Yes?" Zach asked.

He was wearing full clothes, and there was no sign of anything suspicious.

"I uhh." Ninia's eyes glanced around as though they were looking for something or someone. It was evident to both Victoria and Zach that she was looking for Aria.

"Where is Aria?" she asked with a judging look on her face.

"Hmm? Aria? She is not here," Zach responded awkwardly.

"..." Ninia squinted her eyes and walked into the room. She noticed that the blanket on the bed was lifted slightly, almost as though someone was sleeping beneath it.

She shot a glance at Zach before moving her hand to the blanket and pulling it in one go. However, much to her surprise, the bed was empty.

"..."

Confused, Ninia glanced at every corner of the room, but Aria was nowhere to be seen. She even looked beneath the bed, but she wasn't there either.

Zach quickly stood behind Ninia and asked, "What are you doing?"

"I was looking for Aria"

"As I said, she is not here. She must be in her domain, trying to find a way to cultivate her soul powers," Zach stated.

"Oh okay." After a brief pause, Ninia glanced at Victoria before looking at Zach and asked, "We brought dinner from the restaurant. Let's eat."

"I will be there in a minute."

After that, Ninia left the room, and Victoria followed her.

Zach made sure they had left and closed the door. Then, he opened the portal to Aria's domain, and a naked Aria appeared in front of the portal.

"Did they leave?" she asked.

"Yes. Wear your clothes and come to eat dinner after a few minutes."

"Ummm actually I don't really feel hungry for some reason" she asked with an awkward smile on her face.

"So? What will you do now?" he asked calmly.

Aria showed her hands filled with Zach's essence and said, "I will make the essence pill. And once you have eaten dinner, you can resume my work."

"Sounds good." Zach nodded and closed the portal after saying, "Also, you should take a bath after that."

SIGH!

Zach swallowed nervously and muttered, "That was a close open."

At first, Zach was going to release his load inside Aria's cave, but then he remembered about the essence pill, so he pulled his snake out and released everything in Aria's hand.

They would have gotten caught if it wasn't for Victoria talking out loud with Ninia.

After that, Zach opened the portal to Aria's domain and sent Aria there. While he flipped over the blood-stained mattress of the bed... n...

It didn't take him much time to equip clothes, and everything worked out fine.

Zach took some deep breaths and left his room to eat dinner. There he met Noah, who was waiting for him to join them.

"Master Zach, you won't believe what happened today!" he said with a resolute expression on his face.

"Oh? Tell me."

Noah started telling what happened after they left while they all ate dinner together.

"Is it okay to eat without Aria?" Ninia asked with an anxious look on her face. "Won't she feel betrayed or lonely after knowing that we ate without her?"

'Even though he was acting like a mom checking her child's room a while ago, she is worried about Aria. I feel like it's been a long time since I said this, but I will never fully understand girls.'

"It's okay. I informed her through messages, and she replied with 'I am not feeling hungry'. And if she feels hungry later, I will take her to a restaurant or cook something for her."

"Whoa? You are not cooking anything." Victoria quipped and remarked, "You suck at cooking. Don't you even try to deny it."

"..." Zach decided to eat dinner quietly. But his mind was still lost in the pleasure he received a while ago.

'I still can't believe it! Aria and I did it! We had s.e.x!'

'Who could have thought that this day would come? I met her as a stranger enemy, and then we became friends. Come to think of it, my relations.h.i.+p with all the girls in my harems has been surprisingly unique and strange at the same time.'

'The most normal relations.h.i.+p I would say I had is Aurora. It progressed naturally. Not to mention, it's because of her that I learned the pain and the pleasure of loving someone.`

'Then maybe with Aria? Victoria is an exception as our whole relations.h.i.+p has been in a spiral.'

'Then there is Aquarius. In comparison, my relations.h.i.+p with Ruli was too sudden. It wouldn't be strange to say it started with a one-night-stand.'

'And then there is Xie Lua. I honestly don't know what to say about it.'

While having all those thoughts, Zach finished his dinner.

When he glanced at Victoria, he found her staring at him with an upset look on her face.

'No wonder she is angry. She helped me out today, and I didn't even do anything for her,' he sighed inwardly.

'I can change my schedule and spend the night with Victoria instead of Aurora, but I don't think tonight is the best time.'

There was a big reason why Zach hadn't become intimate with Victoria even after patching up again.

Just as Victoria was scared of having s.e.x again, Zach was too. He knew very well that his first time with Victoria wasn't pleasurable. Sure, he enjoyed it, but it was Victoria who suffered for days.

That's why, he had decided to make their second time better and more pleasurable than the first one.

pd nve After that, Zach's gaze fell on Ninia, who was staring at him with an innocent smile on her face. Zach couldn't help but smile back, but for some reason, he felt a sting in his heart.

He was ridden with guilt as he deceived Ninia.'Why am I experiencing this feeling of guilt? Ninia is just my follower right? So why is it that my heart wants me to tell her everything?' he asked himself in agony.
