Reincarnated With a SSS-Rank Hypnosis Skill in Another World-Chapter 39 - The King’s Thoughts

My hands slid down her back.

Her body was perfect. There was not an ounce of fat. It was smooth and silky, amazing to feel. It was even better than Aria’s. There was no doubt that this was the body of a princess.

I continued to move my hands down her back, slowly getting closer to her nice, plump buttocks.

The moment my hands grabbed

it, I looked into her eyes. I wanted to know just how she would react to such a thing. After all, I doubted that she would be mad. But there was always a chance. And the worst part about all this was the fact that if the king found out, he would be killing me.

"You can’t tell your dad about us, understood?" I whispered in her ear.

I could already see where this whole thing was going, and I wanted to interfere before anything happened. It was deeply important to me because I just didn’t want to die or, worse, be executed in public.

She weakly nodded, not even asking questions.

That was a good sign, truth be told. Looking at her right about now, I could tell that she also wanted this relationship to stay secret, which was definitely nice.

[Elena’s Loyalty has increased by 10: 72 -> 82]

I smirked inwardly.

Her loyalty was steadily increasing, and there was no doubt that it would continue to grow as we got closer to one another. Now that she had passed the 75 Loyalty threshold, it would also be possible to completely modify her memories when being hypnotized, which was exactly what I wanted.

I would be able to manipulate her in whatever way I wished without her ever realizing it.

It was much better than before.

I had so many ideas of how I could use her. After all, she was one of the most important people in this world. Using her to my advantage could make me gain so many things, especially since we were basically in love and already in an arranged marriage.

I looked at her face. It was bright red; she was nervous, shy, or even embarrassed right now. It was honestly cute. It only fueled my envy to conclude the deal with her tonight. However, there was this small thought in the back of my mind that kept thinking about the fact that we might get caught.

I tightened our hug.

I could see her face, only inches away from mine, looking into my soul.

I could hear her heartbeat.

I could feel her hot breath brushing against my face.

I could feel her pulse accelerating.

Those signals were unmistakable.

I took my courage with both hands.

As I continued to bring my head closer to hers, those signals became more and more obvious. There were only centimeters separating her mouth from mine; if this continued, then I would be kissing the princess of the royal family in the next second.

I closed my eyes as she did the same, and we kissed.

It was awkward at first.

I laughed a little; she also did so.

But after some time, we got used to it, and we simply enjoyed the warmth of each other, kissing each other passionately.

I could feel her body flinch every time I grabbed her ass, surprised, but then I looked into her eyes and saw that she definitely enjoyed it. It was clear that she simply had never experienced anything like this in the past. Before, when I touched her, it was when she was hypnotized. But right now, she was free of my control. It was the real her who was enjoying this moment with me.

[The King’s POV]

I could hardly sleep.

Not after what I had seen with my own eyes. Something that I believed to be completely impossible had been done by this young man... Jake.

He was supposed to die. The healers weren’t able to do anything; his body functions were all failing rapidly, and there was nothing that could save him—nothing from this world, at least.

But that’s when... his soul was pulled from his body.

Nobody noticed it.

Nobody could see souls like I could.

But what was scariest was the fact that not only did his soul get pulled, but there was also a second soul inserted inside of his body—a dormant one.

I had never seen it because the other one took up so much space. However, there was no doubt about it. There was really another soul inside of his body. I was sure of it. There could only be one meaning to this whole thing.

Jake Vale wasn’t telling the whole truth.

For how long had he taken over this body?

Was it recent?

What happened for another soul to enter this body?

What happened for him to be saved? Who pulled his soul away?

So many questions. All of them unanswered.

I could only sit here, rubbing my chin, sitting on my throne, wondering what the hell happened. It really wasn’t the best situation to be in...

I did have one idea.

When I was younger, I had also seen someone with two souls.

I had never told anyone about it because... that person was my very best friend.

I clenched my fists in frustration. ’Just who the hell healed him? It has to be someone powerful enough to pull a soul away from someone’s body. Someone powerful enough to do such a thing... they are not from this world. There’s one option, but how did Jake ever get in contact with them?’

I continued to try my best to find a reason to deny this idea, to say that it’s completely impossible. But the more I thought, the more it seemed to make sense.

A god had come and helped Jake at his lowest.

Jake Vale had received help from the gods. He had a connection with the higher realms.

Something that I had been working on my entire life...

"I need to talk with Jake. Go get him right away," I declared.

It was time for me to ask him some questions.

No point in dwelling around.
