Reincarnated in a Eroge Game With a SSS-Rank Taming System-Chapter 26: Step - Getting a Visit From Nickolas Elowen

The next morning came by quickly.

I had spent the night alone, away from both Romie and Morgana, even if Romie had come to see me late at night. There was no doubt... my class was definitely working.

I had already gained an Affection Heart in a few hours. It was only a matter of time before I gained the second one and finally unlocked Skill Sharer.

I couldn’t wait.

This one skill was key for me to reach new heights. When I got it, no one would be able to stop me anymore. I would be the most powerful being in the game; even the main character would have to bow before me. The best thing about all this was that the storyline was still far from starting.

I had a lot of time to become as powerful as possible.

Nevertheless, one thing I hadn’t expected was a visit from Nickolas Elowen himself on this fine morning.

He knocked on my door and invited himself in without a care in the world.

He sat by the edge of my bed and looked me dead in the eyes.

"So, let’s talk about what happened last night."

My eyes widened. He wasn’t talking about the Awakening Ceremony; that had happened in the afternoon. He was clearly talking about his daughter visiting me late at night.

"When you first came to our estate, I talked about a request of mine. You remember, right?"

I nodded. "Of course. I would never dare to forget such a thing."

"Well, I’m here to talk to you about this request of mine."

My eyes widened as I didn’t quite understand what this request of his had to do with what happened last night. Maybe I was missing something, or perhaps I had misunderstood something. But nevertheless, I stayed focused and waited for him to explain what he wanted to say.

"My request might seem a little strange, but it also seems like you’ve already been working on it without even knowing."

I frowned, staying quiet.

"My daughter, Romie. What do you think about her?"

A very open question.

I thought for a few seconds, nervous.

"Don’t worry. Tell me what you really think about her. I don’t mind."

"Um. She’s very smart and beautiful. I think she has a great future ahead of herself."

The man nodded, happy with my response by the looks of it.

"That’s true. But while she’s very smart, she tends to be quite cold and distant from others, deeming them lesser beings, which is why my request for you was to get closer to my daughter and become her first real friend."

But then he stopped himself from speaking as he flashed a smile.

"Though, based on what I saw in yesterday’s Awakening Ceremony and her late-night visit to your room... it seems like there might be a chance that the two of you could even become lovers..."

My eyes widened as I looked at his face, unsure if this comment was a good thing or not. It was nerve-racking, to say the least, but I still managed to stay composed under his scrutinizing gaze.

"Maybe. I—I’m not sure yet..." I replied, nervous and anxious about how he would react.

But then, calming the atmosphere in the room, he burst out laughing.

"Don’t worry. I don’t mind. In fact, I encourage it. I always thought that my daughter would end up alone. But if she were to have you as a boyfriend, then that would be a great step in the right direction."

"Even if I’m a commoner? Don’t you care about that?" I asked, as I could still vividly recall the reaction from the King’s daughter, another one of the heroines.

However, Nickolas and the Elowen family were certainly different. They didn’t seem to care about such things, and what he said next confirmed that.

"I don’t care about those useless titles. I care about the person, and you’re definitely the right fit for my daughter."

I had just received confirmation from the patriarch that he basically wanted me to date one of the main heroines of the story. frёewebnoѵēl.com

I smirked just thinking about it. Who wouldn’t?!

This might actually be one of the best days since I had been sent to this world. He was basically asking me to charm and seduce his daughter.

Who wouldn’t be happy about such a thing? Especially me.

A huge pressure had now lifted from my shoulders.

There was only one problem left: Morgana and her jealousy. I would have to deal with her before pursuing Romie further, and that’s exactly what I did once Nickolas left the room.

Though, before leaving, he made it clear what his request was.

"I want you to either become her friend or lover. You might not be able to do that right now, but you can consider our estate your second home. You can take as much time as you want. After all, the entrance ceremony for the Royal Academy is almost a year from now. You have time."

I smirked, as it seemed that Nickolas had read right through my intentions. He already knew that I wanted to get into the Royal Academy.

This man was smart.

"What happens if I fail?" I asked with a slight frown.

The man just shrugged. "I don’t know. Didn’t think that far. Just make sure not to fail."

I smiled and nodded as he left the room.

My next destination was Morgana’s room.

It was time to tell her very clearly that she couldn’t act the way she had back in the Awakening Ceremony. I had seen those gazes.

It was time to show her who her real Master was.

And one thing was certain. It wasn’t me.

It was her.

I walked to her room and knocked on the door as she quickly opened it.

"Oh... you’re finally here~," she said in her teasing voice, as if expecting something to happen.

"Let’s chat," I replied coldly, surprising her.
