"Hmm it won't be a secret if I told you now would it," Seth said with a smile, a finger raised up like he was a wise man tutoring Alice.
"The fact that this secret was able to make Dorian submit means that this secret is very much my business, for all I know you could be blackmailing her "Alice barked out, a vein threatening to appear on her forehead.
"And here I thought our partnership was built on trust" Seth casually commented.
"Trust goes both ways Seth" Alice screamed, Seth's nonchalant behavior to her serious question already threatening to drive her insane.
"Oh, well in that case, by my orders, trust between us only goes my way" Seth flatly said, as he walked away and sat down beside the pool, his words leaving Alice staring at him in anger and confusion.
Hearing Seth's words, a wave of anger threatened to rise up from Alice's heart, but it took her all her willpower just to calm herself down.
Alice had known partnering with Seth wouldn't be all sunshine, but Seth's behavior was currently pushing beyond the boundaries of her tolerance, how someone could be so self-centered to the point that he made known the existence of some secret but wholeheartedly refused to tell her despite him knowing that it would eat at her.
"Fine, keep your secret, but at least tell me why Dorian came to meet you," Alice said, taking in a deep breath and deciding to let the issue of the secret go.
"Oh yeah that reminds me, tell me, what exactly is the relationship between you and Dorian, what bond binds the two of you in friendship or sistership?" he asked ignoring Alice's question once more.
"I found Alice and Dorian back when they were both just 23 and 25 years old respectively wandering around," Alice said," they were survivors of a spontaneous conflict between two general stage cultivators that erupted in their hometown, I took them in and adopted them into my family years later".
"Ahh that's touching, guess you naturally have a kind heart ehhh" Seth commented, but Alice didn't reply to him, folding her arms and waiting for him to get to the point.
"Well mummy isn't happy" Seth chuckled, but seeing Alice's staunch expression not moving a bit, he turned and stared at the ceiling for a few seconds deep in thought before turning to face Alice.
"To Dorian, I have an overbearing presence, one which makes her instinctually feel inferior to me, but well after today's fight, the blood flowing within her sees me as being weak, and seeks to go against me, probably wishing to eliminate me".
"Does the bloodline have a consciousness, is it threatening to take over her," Alice asked.
"No, just think of it in the same way as sex, it's an instinctual desire that pops up whether or not you know about it, Dorian just needs some more time to adjust to her new self".
"So if she can adjust to her new bloodline, she'll be back to her normal self right?".
"Well not exactly, how much do you trust Dorian?" Seth asked.
"I trust her with my life, "Alice said.
"Okay, and how much does she trust you?".
"what are you getting at Seth," Alice asked, her eyes narrowing in suspicion, thoughts of Seth trying to sow discord amongst them going through her mind.
"Definitely nothing like what you're thinking, what I want to deduce is if Dorian is loyal to you or just appreciative of you," Seth asked his hands raised up to exemplify his innocence.
"Dorian's loyalty to me is unquestionable, now get to the point" Alice snapped.
"Seems I hit a nerve," Seth thought.
"Dorian is bound to become a lot more prideful and arrogant than she normally was, but that should be alright as loyalty and pride don't conflict as long as there is a touch of love," Seth said with a raised eyebrow, dropping his little question at the end but Alice ignored it.
"Is this pride and arrogance a trait possessed by anyone who gets your bloodline?" Alice asked.
"For now it seems so," Seth said.
"Okay" Alice simply said, turned, and began walking towards the door, but she hadn't gone far when a light wind blew over her and Seth appeared behind her, his arms wrapped around her waist.
"Are you just going to leave me like that" Seth complained" why don't you come let's have some fun, I haven't had a taste of these bobbies" he said, his hand reaching up and giving Alice's breast a squeeze.
"Am sorry but I have a lot of work at the office" Alice said.
"Fine, how about a kiss," Seth asked.
"Bad boys don't get kisses" Alice replied, turning around and sending Seth a harsh glare.
"Ahhh how do I become a good boy?".
"Promise you won't cause any harm to Dorian," Alice said.
"Oh, that's easy. I promise I won't bring any harm to Dorian" Seth said, looking at Alice with a smile while she looked back at him with a still unhappy gaze.
"So do I get my kiss," Seth asked, and Alice could only nod her head in defeat, letting Seth lock lips with her as he squeezed her breasts harder.
Minutes later, Alice pushed Seth back and placed a finger on his lips" I have to get back to work" she said and walked away.
Leaving Seth stared at her leaving ass as he wandered how to spend the rest of the day.
.....Hours later...…
In a small well lit room weirdly having just three chairs and a stand in the middle currently carrying a basket of fruits, two women could already be seen occupying one of each chair while the other which stood elevated and more imposing with the bright green stones embedded all over stood empty.
The two women Dorian and Adriana sat in silence, Adriana munching on an apple with her legs crossed while Dorian sat with her hands folded, a gloomy look on her face.
It wasn't long before the only door in the room let out a creak, alerting everyone of an entrance as the form of Alice walked in and claimed the last free seat.
