The Conquerors Path

'I guess it's time to lengthen the things with her...'

I mused as I saw Sabrina walk and sit in front of me, the two of us meeting in secret within my mansion. Right now, it's the next day after the exam. After my session with Olivia, making sure she was fully satisfied, I spent the rest of the day with some important business talks, dealing with some girls, and mostly spending some quality time with my family.

The talks all went over how the exams went, how exciting it was, how we all did, and more. Overall, it was a fun family rare time we all got, with nothing horny taking place. Everyone had fun, and then the night came where I indulged my little maid in pure bliss. Clara made sure to fill all her three holes with my color.

And now the next day, I call upon Sabrina. As my maid, she too has her duties, though I don't call upon that action a lot, for the very reason that if I play with Sabrina's pride too much, it will only be detrimental to me. After all, she has very simple values, she likes someone, then she likes them to death. But if she hates someone, she will hate that person until they meet their death in her hands.

Frighteningly, she has the backing and powers to achieve it too. The hate-to-lovers route will not work on her, though the route of mildly annoyed to great anticipation is still something that is working on her. Heck, she's like a dog with a bone, trying her best to get all the information about me, dying to break through all my layers of mystery.

"So, what's the plan for this date of yours?"

Sabrina asked in a mildly curious tone, her voice didn't seem all that jolly at being on a date with me. Seeing this, a smile graced my face as I leaned back onto my chair.

"Why do you seem annoyed at going on a date with me? You know many girls of the academy will die to just go on a date with me~"

My prideful voice filled the room, earning me a snort from Sabrina as she spoke.

"Humph... then why don't you invite those girls? I have other things I have to deal with."

Her eyes narrowed as she looked at me. To this, I kept a smile on my face. After all, this meeting was for the date that I called from her some time ago. Of course, knowing this woman, I can't make the date something insignificant. The moment she finds I have some sort of romantic interest in her, some of my plans may go haywire.

"Relax, will you? I can guarantee that you will like this date that I have planned. It will be useful to you too. Plus, don't you think it will be nice to unwind a bit after the test?"

This question of mine didn't get a sudden answer as a very sly smile came to Sabrina's face.

'So it's beginning.'

"Then why don't you call Miss Olivia to a date?~"

The sly smile on Sabrina only widened as she saw a 'surprised' look flash my face.

'Please woman, would you know shit if I didn't want you to know?'

Holding back my real thoughts to sneer at her, I just turned a bit quiet, and she seemed to enjoy that look on my face. And this is another path of movement that I have chosen from Sabrina, the inner desire to see her get better of me in everything, to be smarter than me, to outsmart me is now burning with desire in her.

And hence in each step, she will try to be better than me, to one-up me. This mysterious dude she can't get a read on. But what she doesn't know is all the information her elite is giving her is personally controlled by me. So any and all things she wants to get better at or one-up me will be things that I deem I want her to improve on.

Till now she hasn't gotten the better of me. And now with my surprised expression and my quiet look have brought her the first joy of getting the better of me. And this will be a loving drug that will slowly pull her into my trap. She trying to get better than me by studying me is a classic move to make her fall.

This, along with her constant need to monitor me and get my information, will slowly itch her to have only me in her world. Of course, to many, just showing off accidentally that I am the author that she is obsessed with, the one that changed her life, will get me an insane boost in affection.

Heck, it will be very easy to get her after that, but that is not the end I want. I wouldn't be me if I didn't use every advantage I have to boost things to my target.

'Looks like I gave her enough taste.'

Thinking so, I leaned onto the table, a smirk filling my face as I asked.

"Oh, my~ is the great princess Sabrina stalking me? Could it be she fell in love with me from a single punch of mine?~"

This sudden question of mine, laced with a very annoying tone, quickly made the smile on Sabrina's face leave. Her brows furrowed as she spoke.

"Urgh!... you?... you wish... it's just that my intelligence network is that good..."

Her tone lay a bit disgusted as she spoke. Well, the disgusted part is forced. I can tell that with a single look. Seeing that I had brought her off her high horse, I leaned back into the chair as I asked.

"So you leaked it to anyone else?"

I asked. To this, that darn smirk came back as she asked.

"You mean to Marlene, who seems to be having some sort of problems with Olivia?"

'Damn, I need to pay those information-dealing guys extra, they are doing a very good job~'

Once again, the surprise came to me, seemingly making Sabrina feel good. I could even see some bounce on her elongated ears, and it somehow looked cute yet dreamy on her. Being the guy I am, I also made sure to leak some information on the way of jealousy towards Sabrina, showing the attention Marlene is giving me.

'Now you will be dying to know what I have that is making them like me, don't you?'

"Out of curiosity, just what did you do to get the affection of Marlene?"

Sabrina suddenly asked, her eyes brimming with genuine curiosity. The reason for that is simple. Among all the girls that Sabrina might know, Marlene is the one who seems to hold duty and battle in her heart, seemingly as if the mundane effects of love don't seem to affect her at all. Yet now here she lays, the information in front of Sabrina showing Marlene's desire towards me.

Of course, it doesn't explain the extent of Marlene's desire, and it definitely doesn't show Olivia's interest in me. The current information that I leaked to Sabrina just showed how Marlene is dealing with Olivia.

"Oh? Curious, are we?"

I asked back with a smile, my eyes meeting hers as I asked after a small silence.

"How about this, if by the end of this date of ours, if you say that you didn't enjoy it one bit, I shall tell you a single secret of mine, no matter what you ask?"

This sudden proposition of mine caught Sabrina off guard, her eyebrows raising in question as she asked.

"How do you know that I won't lie?"

"Because it's beneath your pride and self."

This sudden reply of mine caught Sabrina off guard, her eyes peering into mine as she bit her lips a bit. I could swear I saw her ears bounce a bit more.

'Cute.'

"Fine, but how do I know that you will keep your end of the bargain?"

Sabrina quickly asked, seemingly trying to mask the sudden yet slow hit I gave her. To this question of hers, I bent slightly forward as I spoke in a serious tone.

"For this, you will have my word, and you should know my word is worth a million promises."

'Yeah, my word is worth shit.'
