"I..."
"Yes?"
"I actually..."
"...?"
Latia bit her lip and said, "I can tell fortunes!"
It's over...
I really said it.
Latia wanted to scold herself for not being able to think of a better reason than that.
Staring at Riser who looked surprised, she knew he must not believe that she could...
"So that's it. That's amazing... I didn't expect the young lady of the Astaroth family to be able to tell fortunes."
"Huh? Y-Yes sure, I can do it a bit, and I happened to predict my family's future yesterday. The result was that it was destroyed by the young master of the Phenex family. That's why Riser, I'm here to make a deal with you."
Latia's brain became clear enough to spout nonsense naturally.
I didn't expect Riser to believe this woman could tell fortunes!
Now don't panic, and keep this moment to convince him!
Riser looked at Latia with a playful look in his eyes.
[Surprised! The heroine can tell fortunes! Latia said that she had foreseen her family's future, and that's why she knew that in the future I would destroy the Astaroth family. So the purpose of her inviting me to dine together today was to make a deal for me to only target Diodora without involving the Astaroth family.]
[Hehe this is weird, I mean in the original work it was never mentioned that Latia had the ability to tell fortunes.]
The heroines who heard this had stifled expressions on their faces.
Latia Astaroth can tell fortunes? Fart!
Not just Riser, even they also doubted her.
Grayfia who had just returned to Villa No. 2 and was preparing to go to Villa No. 1 suddenly realized something after hearing this.
There was a faint smile on her pretty face.
"Now that I think about it, why didn't the heroines other than me follow the plot in the original work? It seems like they can also hear Riser's voice."
Holding her chin with one hand, Grayfia felt it was very possible!
The strongest evidence at the moment was Latia who knew Riser was planning to destroy her family.
Although the other party said she could tell fortunes, it was clearly a lie and she just couldn't or didn't want to say that she could hear Riser's inner voice.
Looking out the window where she could see Riser's villa, Grayfia thought of a loli heroine living there.
"To be more convincing, why don't I confirm it with that loli?"
Back to the Latia side.
Latia is panicking again now!
Looking at the handsome man smiling in front of her, she felt nervous and scared, especially when the parking lot where the two of them were now was very quiet.
If the secret of hearing the inner voice was revealed to Riser, she did not know what the man would do to silence her.
Influenced by various movies where people who know other people's secrets are usually silenced in a cruel way.
Latia felt that her current situation was similar to some of the movies she had seen, which was why she felt nervous and even scared.
Even so, she tried to appear calm on the surface.
At least her performance should be convincing Riser!
Riser pondered for a moment before asking. "Hm... Okay Latia, I don't mind making a deal with you."
Latia breathed a sigh of relief and she was happy, but Riser didn't seem to be done yet.
"But before that can you predict my future? I'm curious."
Riser took one of Latia's hands gently as he asked. The distance between the two of them became closer so that they could smell each other's scent.
Latia felt a bit dizzy feeling the man's hand holding hers, the masculine odor she smelled from Riser's body did not help either, but made her greedy to inhale more of it.
Why does this man smell so good!
What perfume are you wearing?
It smells really good.
Thinking of this, Latia's face felt hot, she panted slightly, and looked at Riser who was taller than her nervously.
"I, well... Sure, I can do it."
"Good, so what do I need to do?"
"Uh, um... Hand, hold out your hand, I need to see the lines on your palm."
"Okay, here it is."
Riser opened his palm and let Latia hold it.
Latia who was pretending to be clairvoyant wanted to cry, but on the surface she looked calm and serious as she stared at Riser's palm.
What was she doing? She herself did not know.
She was just imitating what fortune tellers used to do in some of the movies she had seen.
Although her memory of it was a bit hazy, but she forced herself not to destroy her fortune teller image in front of Riser.
Latia nodded, she let go of Riser's hand and smiled mysteriously as if she had seen something.
Riser was still smiling as usual.
Just wondering if this woman could really tell fortunes?
"So what does my future look like?"
Latia paused for a moment and said, "Your future is very bright."
"Yes?" Riser tilted his head in confusion.
[I asked what my future was like, and you just said it was very bright. Very little information there hey! And are you sure my future is so bright? I'm a villain, not a protagonist. At least it won't be that bright, right? There will be some problems, but I can overcome them. Something like that is possible.]
Many heroines know Latia only pretends to be able to tell fortunes.
It's just that...
Riser, aren't you too skeptical about your future?
People should be happy to be told they have a bright future, but here you are complaining that your future won't be that good.
Hearing this, Latia also hurriedly added more information.
"But... For that bright future. You will have to overcome every problem along the way, mostly related to the man named Hyudou Issei, but you will always manage to overcome all those problems with your abilities."
"Oh? Sounds reasonable..."
Riser nodded, since he was the villain, Issei who was the protagonist in this world would definitely give him a lot of trouble in the future.
With his plot knowledge and system assistance, he would always be able to thwart every plan of the protagonist.
So now the gaze he gave Latia was also more convincing.
It seemed like this woman could really tell fortunes.
Seeing Riser's way of looking at her change slightly, Latia cheered in her heart.
I'm great!
I just realized that my acting skills are phenomenal.
Should this woman go into entertainment and try acting in a movie?
When that happens I'm worried that this year's Oscar will be mine and the other actresses will just be the losing dogs.
A burst of pride exploded inside Latia, she folded her arms and raised her breasts that were no less than Rias' proudly.
Riser: "...."
Was it just her or had the woman in front of her suddenly become more arrogant and confident?
What's going on in this woman's brain?
By the way, he couldn't help but glance at Latia's big breasts at this moment.
But it was only 1.5 seconds before he looked at her face again.
Although it was very brief, Latia realized where Riser's gaze had glanced before.
Her face flushed slightly, and she pretended to cough.
"Ahem! So Riser, about our deal..."
Riser widened his eyes slightly before nodding again and saying, "I agree about that, but what will I get, Latia?"
Business being business, Riser would of course utilize this opportunity to make a profit.
He looked at Latia with narrowed eyes and an interested smile.
"As I said before. Riser, you... You can ask for anything as long as I can do it."
Latia knew that if she offered Riser money or expensive items, he would definitely not want them. After all, Riser himself did not lack money as the young master of a large family, he also must have many luxurious properties at his disposal.
So other than the things she mentioned above, in order to make a deal with Riser, she might have to offer something else.
For example...
Her beauty.
She knew this idea was too reckless and daring, but what else could she do to save her family?
Although she did not like this situation, she did not hate Riser for it. If there was someone she should hate, then it would be her cousin, Diodora for looking for trouble with Riser.
There was also Issei whom she hated, because of him, Diodora dared to seek trouble with Riser.
So this is where she is now.
Staring at the extremely handsome Riser, she actually didn't feel much rejection if she was with him.
She was also very confident in her appearance, after all, she was also one of the four most beautiful women in Kuoh.
Many men had pursued her and tried to propose to her, but they had all been rejected by her because they did not meet her standards.
Looks were just a plus, Riser was the most handsome man she had ever met, but if that was all there was to it she wouldn't be interested in being with him. What makes her really tempted by Riser is his unpredictable abilities and has a mysterious air around him that makes her curious to know all his secrets one by one.
Sure enough, the beginning of a woman's downfall is curiosity in a man.
Latia realizes this, and she knows it's only a matter of time before she truly falls for Riser.
Looking at Latia who was staring at him with nervousness and a slight blush on her cheeks, the corners of Riser's mouth lifted higher.
He knew this woman was giving him a code.
Fortunately he was not like a dense MC who had a lack of EQ and IQ in this situation. Otherwise, I don't know what I would have missed...
Of course as a villain who doesn't just think with his lower half, he wouldn't directly ask for the other party's V card in this situation.
He, Riser, was a villain who didn't just want a woman's body... He also wants her heart.
So instead of asking to sleep with Latia, he would...
Latia saw Riser lean his head forward, her heart skipped a beat and she unconsciously closed her eyes.
At first she thought Riser couldn't stand it and wanted to eat her in the parking lot right away, but it turned out that all he did was whisper something in her ear.
Hearing what Riser wanted.
Latia widened her eyes, and at the same time looked at Riser with a dumbfounded expression on her face.
"You... You want me to do that? Are you sure that's it?"
Riser smiled and nodded.
"Yes Latia~ I just want you to do that. Do you agree?"
Hearing this, Latia nodded with a natural smile that looked beautiful on her face. This was a smile that would make many men mesmerized and be foolish!
"I agree!"
Fortunately, Riser is a man with good self-control, otherwise when Latia smiles like that, he might change his mind and rush to the finish line.
After Riser and Latia parted ways, Riser naturally drove his car home.
After arriving at the villa, though, it was already 6pm and the sky was getting dark. The lights in the house didn't seem to have been turned on yet.
Riser was confused.
"Did Ophis forget to turn on the lights? No, there's no way she forgot. Maybe it's because she went out to buy groceries? But I remember there were still plenty of groceries in the fridge."
After parking his car inside the garage, he walked to the door of his house hesitantly.
He was actually worried that something bad had happened while he was away earlier.
So when he opened the door of the house and walked into it, he raised his guard and opened his golden eyes.
But before he could really see through the darkness, the lights in the dining room where he was passing by suddenly lit up.
It was on, but unlike usual where it burned brightly, this time it was shining with a rather dim light.
There were also a few candles on the table filled with food.
It made the atmosphere in the dining room romantic.
When he saw this, he was dumbfounded, he also felt someone approaching him from behind without any bad intentions. So he let her approach him and hugged him.
Smelling this gentle and familiar scent, he could guess who the person hugging him was.
"Grayfia, what are you..."
As Riser turned to look at the woman, he was stunned to see what the woman was wearing.
Grayfia smiled at Riser's reaction, she put her hand on his chest and said:
"Welcome, dear~ Did you eat first? Take a shower first? Or..."
Riser swallowed.
What, what?
What was the last one?
Damn! Grayfia, do you want to eat meat tonight? If so, hurry up and finish your last word!
...
