WAR LORD'S UNRIVALED GODDESS

Almost Sensual Dream

Feeling that Auriane's reaction had caught her off guard, despite haven kept in her mind that Auriane had changed and was no longer the girl who was constantly at her beck and call, she still felt that something was off about her.

It was fine that her attitude towards her would temporarily turned little distant because of her close relationship with Nora, after all, falling out amongst sister was normal. She had once caused Nora and Auriane to fall out with Nora, so as to secure her position and importance deeply etched in Auriane's heart. Till date everything went according to her plans and Auriane was deeply devoted to her, falling out with her sister whom she once respected deeply. However, in an interval of just a few days, the tables had turned and Auriane was getting out of her control since she reunited with Nora. It was actually disadvantageous for her if Auriane only listened to Nora.

But she didn't think it was anything serious at all, though Auriane wasn't backward from her in academic, she wasn't quite wise nor did she surpass her in schemes and slyness. As long as she snapped her finger, Auriane would immediately fall into an abyss of no return. But now she realized how wrong she had been in her calculations, Auriane had indeed changed for worst. Crushing her smug expression and prideful nature. Clenching her fist into a tight ball, her fingers pierced into her tender palms, causing it to turn red in an instant.

Ignoring the pain that came after, Angel took a deep breath and got a grip of her emotions.

She looked at Auriane, seeming emotionally unstable and guilty. She wiped the tears that were preparing to well up, as if finally realizing her mistake.

"You're right, it was indeed my fault for being neglectful. Sister Nora must have been disappointed by me for once."

Unfazed by Angel's act, Auriane was recalled of her past life and only then was she able to control herself in front of the hypocritical sister. Apologizing the way she did was nothing more than she justifying herself for being unable to accompany her. Besides, emphasizing on the word 'disappointed for once' , she was clearly saying that she had always been filial towards her elder sister and only committed a mistake once out of negligence.

With such a clear explanation from her, who was going to put any blame on her anymore. Everything was so clearly detailed out, Angel had indeed made a clear move, not only did she also use her previous speech to explain her lack of etiquette earlier, but she saved herself from being considered as unfilial. Though it was vague and not quite noticeable, it was still considered as killing two birds with one stone.

If she had succeeded in her schemes to make Auriane's personality bad in the eyes of Mrs. Elgar and her children, then her schemes would have been perfect. But she failed and of course Angel was intelligent and knew how to back out when necessary. She knew that she had failed to scheme against Auriane for that moment, but she wasn't all bothered.

The days ahead were still long and she didn't believe that Auriane would escape her grip again. She considered her failure as her negligence in Auriane's sudden change. Now that things had changed, she had to observe her enemy a while before putting forth more schemes.

Although she failed now, she won a pawn whom she could use to go against Auriane and leave unscathed. She still needed to observe Auriane and Nelly was the perfect weapon for that.

"I'm really sorry Auriane, it was my fault this time."

Angel bit her lips and looked down with a sorrowful expression, she was able to exude the grace and elegance of a frail beauty. Anyone who saw her at this moment wouldn't have the heart to hold anything against her. Of course Auriane understood it, if she were to be stubborn and hold it against Angel, she would look bad in the eyes of others. But she couldn't be bothered by it and simply tugged away the hand that had been restraint by Angel's soft grip.

"There's no need to apologize for that. No one would blame you for being negligent."

Taken aback by Auriane suddenly pulling her hand out of her soft restraint, Angel was slow to react. She didn't even get to realize what had happened, but Auriane was already out of her grip. She initially thought she would cause Auriane to suddenly loosen her grip and intentionally fall, but Auriane had again foiled her plans.

Of course, Auriane had long seen through her schemes, reason why she tolerated Angel gripping on her for so long.

Finally she waited till when Angel was distracted to pull out her hand without giving her the time to react. This was a type of technique that she had accumulated while in the street in her past life. She named it a swift escape, because it was mainly used to escape one's enemy swiftly before they had realized it. She had used it several times to plan her to escape from the assassins sent by Angel. Little did she expect that it would come into handy at this moment. She had already gotten tired of Angel's schemes of pretending to fall at the critical moment to evoke pity.

Haven lived two life times she absolutely couldn't let herself fall in the same cheap trick like a beginner.

She was no beginner, but Angel who was oblivious of her thought didn't find anything amiss the change of situation and the foiling of her plans. She simply guessed it was due to her little moment of inattention that caused Auriane to escape from her easily.

"Thanks Auriane, I was just scared you would misunderstand." , Angel hurried to explain, in order to hide her sudden moment of fluster by Auriane's escape.

"Why would I misunderstand, if sister didn't intentionally warrant a misunderstanding."

"What!", Angel exclaimed, but she didn't have time to process Auriane's words, because she quickly hurried to continue.

"You're wise, I believe they shouldn't be any misunderstanding with your words. After all, sister is good tacit words than I do."

Suddenly filling a shiver run down her spine, Angel couldn't help but feel keep up her guard against Auriane. She felt that Auriane could actually read through her soul and expose her deepest secrets, but she was unable to explain how.

Ignoring Angel's flustered expression, Auriane turned towards Stella and co.

"Aunt Stella, I'll be going back to my room__ Mrs. Pruuse, please pardon me for exhausting my strength and not being able to accompany you."

Her explanation was clear and no one would feel that she was wrong by leaving, so Mrs. Pruuse replied with a smile.

"It's fine, it must have been hard on you today, so I won't hold you back."

"Thanks for your comprehension Mrs. Pruuse."

Without giving Stella the chance to refute nor the chance for Angel to bring up other schemes against her, Auriane walked passed Angel with a stern face. Her steps were neither hurried nor was it slow. It was simply perfect, with each step appearing to be dominated with poise and full of charms. Kevin couldn't help but take a sneak at her, feeling that she carried a noble aura.

Kevin looked at her with complicated emotions before turning away his gaze to meet that of Angel. Seemingly their eyes met each other and she smiled sweetly at him, causing him to blush and quickly look away. Angel's smile was lovely, and her pink lips lifting up reminded him of the lovely pink rose.

Beautiful indeed, how could he not love it?

Upon arriving in her room, Auriane rushed to take a bath, rubbing her skin of every impurities caused by her closeness to the hypocritical Angel.

It took her a tone of effort to tolerate her touch, but she had to bare with it. However, there wasn't going to be a next time, letting such a person touch her was going to stain her skin.

Done with her bath, Auriane quickly changed into a baggy and loose pajamas, she then proceeded to lock her room carefully before lying down to sleep.

Only then she slightly led down her guard and closed her eyes, immediately drifting to sleep in just a short while.

Suddenly her environment changed and she was no longer lying on her bed. But she was in a strange environment, a garden of flowers. Her hands suddenly felt cold and she looked down to realize that her hand was dipped into the lake beside her. She looked at her reflection in the clear water to realize that she was dressed in an exquisite white gown, with an exquisite golden waist chain that defined her slender waist. Her bright copper hair was curled into beautiful waves that cascaded down her back, slightly sweeping the green grass. The wind blew sweeping up her long hair s it danced with to an unknown rythme.

Petals of roses scattered around and she lifted her white slender palms to catch them. Enjoying the peaceful environment, a smile curved her pink lips.

Suddenly a figure emerged from behind her, but it didn't instill any fear in her. Soon she was greeted by the lovely fresh lemon fragrance that seemed to calm her sense, she smiled and looked up at the well defined beauty clad in white pristine shirt stocked in a black pair of pants. The black belt on his waist had a golden metal in the middle, defining his slim, yet trim body proportion. His thin lips curled into a smile as he looked down at her with his dark blue eyes carrying with it a tender affection. He was just like a god of beauty who would catch attention as soon as he stepped out and so was his smile.

"What are you doing?", He finally opened his thin lips to speak, Auriane smiled sweetly and replied.

"Waiting for you of course."

He looked down at her, observing her for quite a while as if he had seemingly caught sight of something beautiful. He smiled and yanked her on her feet and pulled her in his arms when she least expected. Their faces were just inches apart and Auriane was able to whiff his tender lemon fragrance, she loved it so much and didn't feel like struggling out of his arms no matter how she was. His hot palm encircled her slender waist, inching her closer to him, Auriane held her breath but was able to ask.

"W...what are you going to do?"

He felt silent for a while and slowly whispered into her ears, blowing air on her ears, then he said with a seductive voice.

"To kiss you of course."

Auriane's heart skipped a beat, and unable to react she felt his face closing with hers and at the instant, the dream suddenly ended.

Auriane gasped and immediately sat up on her bed, clenching her chest as she thought of the almost 'Sensual Dream' .

"How can I have such dreams with a stranger?" Auriane frowned, unable to actually comprehend the dream.
