[Third Person POV]

Charles's arrival at the king's castle had everyone trembling. Everyone knew how dangerous Charles was. Getting on his bad side is the last thing you would want.

"Good morning, everyone!"

Charles smiled cheerfully, walking into the meeting without any warning. Everyone looked at him with uncertainty, unsure of what to do.

The meeting that was held yesterday lasted for hours but was postponed until early today. Some procedures were done, but many more would need time to be added.

"Mr. Anderson. I welcome you to my abode. I'm Ewan Lancaster, King of Hydro. I hope my castle meets all your needs."

Everyone in the room looked at Ewan Lancaster differently. The difference in the introduction he made was so much different than the one he gave to others. No one was stupid to know what this meant.

"Please call me Charles."

"Very well."

Charles nodded, satisfied with his answer. Since Charles entered at an awkward time, the things that they were doing stopped.

"Don't mind me. Continue where you left off."

Some people had their eyes twitching watching Charles sitting on a comfy chair chilling around. What was he even for? No one knew what his agenda was.

[Charles POV]

Note to self, remind me never to listen to politics. While our side has the advantage, Ewan isn't making it easy for anyone here. They were going back and forth for any advantages they could take. Before I lost my mind in this endless discussion, I stood up and spoke out.

Felicia and the rest of the people wanted resources from this world in exchange for our world's technology.

Among other things, they also wanted to set up a teleporter for this world. Ewan had accepted this term but had to fight for the resources with words of pity.

His role as a king was one of a sly one. Most people here don't realize that Ewan was making fake tears come out of his eyes.

If I had given any fuck about the deals being made, I would've interfered. While I was born on Earth, it doesn't mean I have any attachments to my world.

"I'm heading out. Call me if you need me for something."

Without listening to anyone talk, I left the room. What I did was rude, but there was no reason for me to be here. The only advantage I would give to my side would be intimidation. I wasn't going to listen to speak back and forth for hours. That wasn't in my job description.

"Constance. What do you think of this world?"

After I exited the room, Constance went out with me. She was supposed to follow us during the first day but had an accident.

As for my question, Constance had seen two of the nations. Her opinion should be taken into account. Asking what Constance thought, she stood there thinking.

"I feel an intense negative energy within you."

Instead of asking my question, she switched our topic. So, she has a clue to know what had happened from last night's event.

"And what do you think about it?"

Constance was someone who believed in god. But she was different from most religious people. Constance doesn't care for good or evil. She only cares about what she wants to protect or what god tells her to do.

"Last night, that energy influenced your way of fighting. It's gruesome and dangerous. There will be a day when you'll hurt someone close to you."

What Constance said is correct. I had no memory of the gruesome act I had done but seeing the aftermath, I could see why anyone would be scared of me. The chance of me hurting people close to me will happen at some point.

"Do you know how to make this negative energy disappear? Cause I don't."

Constance's expression was stern, and she makes that face a lot when she thinks. Constance probably doesn't even realize.

"For one thing, your anger made it possible for you to wield that power. When your maid was threatened, your energy level changed drastically."

"To suppress it, you should find a way to calm yourself."

She doesn't know how I could delete this skill of mine. Suppressing my emotions would only be a short-term solution.

"Then I should find a way after going back."

"I can consult you if you want."

"I will take your offer on that."

Our discussion with the darkness inside of me has been resolved for now. What should I do? Linsey seems to be having fun on her own. I don't want to ruin it for her.

As for Nene, she woke up and is now toying with Courtney. I know I left the room earlier, but I regretted doing so.

"Constance, we're going to a love hotel!"

"..."

She had no words for what I had just said. I didn't have any intention of clearing the misunderstanding.

I wonder how long the people of Hydro will stay down underground. It shouldn't be long before they return. The street was empty and making it look like a ghost town.

Coming back to the love hotel, Constance and I walked up on Nene and Courtney's playful act.

"Stop~!"

Nene had Courtney stripped. With her behind Courtney, Nene played with Courtney's chest. Constance once saw us fuck but was still bewildered. Courtney was flustered and begged Nene to stop.

"Master~!"

Seeing me return, Nene left Courtney alone and gave me a warm hug. I did the same and embraced the warm feeling she radiated.

"Did you sleep well?"

"Ehehe~! I only wish you woke me up~! Master~! I want my morning kiss~!"

Her tail wagged, happy that we kissed. Constance and Courtney felt awkward watching us. Glancing at Courtney, I felt a tint of jealousy coming from her.

"Master~! Can I keep her~? She's fun to be around~!"

Nene pointed at Courtney. Hearing what Nene had said, she couldn't help but widen her eyes. To think she would be treated as property.
