The Conquerors Path-Chapter 624-First Crumb Given!

Austin POV:

'Now that's all settled nicely...'

I mused as I watched at Sabrina lying on the bed, her face looking very gentle, a serene expression painting her features in the soft glow of the setting sunlight filtering through the window. The platinum strands of her hair cascaded over the pillow. Her emerald eyes, usually filled with determination, were now peacefully closed, their usual spark temporarily dimmed.

The room seemed to bow to her presence, and the air itself whispered in hushed tones, acknowledging the royal elven woman's slumber.

Sabrina's natural allure was undeniable, her features gracefully sculpted and radiating a timeless elegance. Her skin, pale as moonlight, seemed to glow with a soft luminescence, adding to the enchantment of the scene.

The gentle rise and fall of her chest, a rhythmic dance with the calm breaths she took in her sleep, added a layer of vulnerability to her regal presence. The lean contours of her body, with moderate proportions, suggested a graceful strength hidden beneath the delicate exterior. It was the kind of beauty that held both power and fragility in perfect harmony.

The air held a delicate fragrance, a subtle mix of nature and the unique scent that was distinctly hers. She looked very different from the face I met back in the past—a meeting between the two of us that lasted for a short while but one that I made sure to leave an everlasting print in Sabrina's mind. From here, I need to play my cards right if I want to make her utterly fall in love with me, greater than her love and duty to her people.

The plan and path towards that are quite complex, and it will take step-by-step guidance from my side till she is hopelessly in love. In truth, Sabrina herself will keep guiding herself to fall in love with me. Using Elerium, I have moved the first crumb to her mouth, and like a dying traveler in need of water, Sabrina will find the rest of the crumbs whenever I want her to.

And the final piece to the fantasy tale that I am weaving will be the poison now flowing within her, the functions being a bit related to her curse, and I will even be using her curse to weave the epic tale of sacrifice and hidden support of a man.

One that will bring tears to the eyes of every woman once they hear it. Heck, they will all be madly in sorrow and love once the tale is woven, and for it, step by step, things are being done. I have kept the first step, and I would have to see how this would flow out before I make my next move. After all, this is not some mind-control shit, and I can't always be sure of how Sabrina might act in the future.

But even in that case, I have kept contingencies upon contingencies.

'Though the plot went better than I thought...'

In the game, the situation within the historic world of Elerium will keep changing upon which characters we come inside the historic world with. If we came up with the other playable character of human or demon, them being different species from elves, then we would have a relatively easy story play by Elerium.

But if we came with the elven playable character, then things would have taken a shittier turn with extremely hard things being thrown the player's way to survive. That woman Elerium might not admit it, but she's a sucker for different species' love and their existence. She hates to see the same kind of love between the same species.

'Talk about a reverse racist...'

Even though that situation comes, it will be quite easy for this character of the elf male to make it through it because, unlike Leonardo, this guy is very, very strong from the beginning, walking at an Origin level 9, along with several other gifts and talents. The guy himself is trapped in constant training, and according to my sources, he will be released soon.

Anyhow, leaving that guy aside, the main part is that even in the end, Elerium would have kept Sabrina safe. Why, you ask? Because she is the follower of the necromancy queen, a fanatic that followed the queen that thought only living together in death would bring all the species together, another psycho that walked the lands in those times.

The very reason in the game Sabrina is led towards Elerium is due to a small part of her curse playing with her, leading and manipulating her fate towards that historic world where Elerium would have gifted her things just to fasten the speed of awakening the queen and bring more misfortune to Sabrina.

In the game, conquering Sabrina needs a lot of strength and power, cause there are a lot of fights in it and by the boss fight, you need to be prepared with a great amount of either strength or strategy to fight the phantom of the necromancy queen. And it's during this arduous path of ours that we need to make Sabrina ours.

And truthfully I had no interest in going through that route. It's a lot of work and very risky. That's why I had given Sabrina 'that' when we met in the past to keep her curses at bay, to weaken those fate manipulations, and keep all misfortune away from Sabrina.

Otherwise, as I had told you before, by now Sabrina must have become a very vengeful and dangerous person full of hate. Cause bad things after bad things should have followed her, and Sabrina's bloodline itself should have acted against Sabrina to bring her down, but that didn't happen effectively giving me a much more gentle Sabrina. The books helped too.

Of course, back then when I dealt with Sabrina, I hadn't planned until here. While I planned to use the past and the books to get her, I hadn't thought of anything as dramatic as I am planning to do now. But thanks to the things I received until now, the gifts and talents, they have now opened me up to a much more daring path that I can take. A plan that will earn me the maximum of Sabrina's love and her gratitude, the two of which would be useful tools that I would need when I need to control my harem, at least when it comes to the light.

'Sigh... the shits I have to keep doing to get a girl...'

Perhaps I might be the only one to play with the power of gods to get girls when with my current status, I have two churches filled with women who would jump to have my stick in them till they are filled with my seeds.

'Though once again I only got to have all these because I seem to chase after the girls...'

Laughing a bit internally at the circle coming full round, I turned to look at Sabrina now awake and sitting at the edge of the bed looking at me, her eyes bearing into mine as I asked.

"What?"

Now the answer to that will determine which path I will be further taking with Sabrina. Cause when you deal with girls like this, it won't hurt to have more than one strategy in your bank.

"Nothing, I was just feeling a bit tired."

Sabrina spoke, shaking her head off.

'Plan A it is...'

"Did Elerium say anything special to you?"

As I asked this question, my face looked seriously at Sabrina, my eyes catching through all her expressions, enough to make Sabrina know that I was keenly looking at her feelings. Though while at the same time a bit of hesitation is also filling my face.

"Other than the fact that I am cursed and am to live a horrifying life? No."

Sabrina replied with a dry tone, looking at me. Seeing so, I 'heaved' out silently as I leaned against the chair I was sitting on.

"Looks like you know it now."

I spoke, my eyes peering out the window looking at all the people moving around.

"I do."

Sabrina replied back in a calm tone as she too gazed out the window. I stayed silent enough to let the silence between us become comfortable as I asked.

"What do you plan on doing now?"

A thoughtful look took Sabrina's face at that question. She turned to look at me with a slight smile as she spoke.

"Fight for my life. Isn't that what I have always been doing?"

"True that."

I replied as I smilingly looked out the window, but Sabrina didn't relent at the opportunity as she asked.

"What did you get out of that realm?"

To this, I kept my eyes on the window as I spoke.

"Something useful."
