Chapter 193 Chapter 193 - Aiden's Request
It was now time for Aiden to announce what he wanted as a reward for reaching first place, he had an idea in mind.
However, there was one thing that made him doubt whether or not to reveal it to everyone in the Arena.
He didn't it was the best for everyone in the Arena to hear about it, well... it would be a problem if two people were to hear it.
The rest weren't that much of a problem, but Aiden didn't want Maelis and Emma to hear about his request since it concerned them pretty heavily.
"Alright, it's now time for our winner, The Reaper to tell everyone his request," said Thorin, regaining a smile on his face forgetting about whatever had happened before.
The previous request that he had received wasn't even in his mind anymore as he focused solely on Aiden or rather the Reaper.
Thorin who had gotten curious about him, couldn't help but wonder about what someone in a middle-level family would request.
Well, Aiden wasn't part of a middle-level family anymore, but the change was so recent that it didn't even count.
In fact, it wasn't even official yet that Aiden had joined the Emberbane family.
"Um, this may sound weird but can I tell my request alone with Melinda?" asked Aiden, taking a chance.
He knew that they could very well refuse this request of him, but he still took a chance as he didn't know whether or not they might accept it.
Thorin hearing this was displeased, however, the Reaper had gotten first place and if he didn't want to tell everyone about his request then he would be able to.
Nonetheless, he was annoyed that he had chosen to speak with Melinda, even if it made a lot of sense since she was the only one who had spoken to him properly.
"Melinda, do you mind?" asked Thorin, showing that he clearly had no problem with this whole thing.
Melinda however quickly shook her head, excited that the Reaper wanted to speak with her in private.
Who knows, he might show his face to her.
"Alright, sure you can go ahead and tell her privately," added Thorin as both Melinda and Aiden disappeared from the stage, leaving behind a confused crowd.
The crowd couldn't help but question why they were going to speak in private and those who were the most confused or worried were Emma and Maelis who had only recently heard that Aiden would be joining another family.
To be honest, this had been a shock to the two of them. However, they knew that Aiden wanted to get stronger and stronger. Nonetheless, they were still disappointed that he would be leaving the Everheart family.
They were the ones who had helped Aiden the most, after all. So, it was a little bitter.
Emma was the one who was the most affected by this decision as she thought that she was slowly but surely getting back into his life.
But, she was only sad that it was clearly a one-sided feeling.
***
In a private room with Melinda, Aiden slowly approached the table which wasn't too far from them.
In fact, they were in the same room when the two of them had first met.
It was the same table, the same chairs. Everything was the exact same which was kind of weird, to be honest.
However, Aiden didn't spend too much time looking around himself as there was a lot more important stuff for him to discuss at the moment.
Because the request which he was about to make didn't concern him even a little, it concerned someone else. Someone who Aiden considered a friend or rather the closest thing he had to one.
"Alright, so what did you want to talk about?" said Melinda, as she sat on the chair which was just in front of him.
"Um, well the request that I have is a little special and it concerns you, that's why I wanted to talk to you in private," said Aiden, explaining the reason why she was stuck with him here.
Melinda hearing the reason only nodded her head as she didn't really care about all of this, she only wanted to hear of his request. That was the thing that interested her the most at the moment.
"Your request, what is it?" asked Melinda, not being that patient.
As she said that, she started to look around herself as she remembered that she had masturbated here when Aiden had been doing his trial.
In fact, getting a quick look around, she noticed that some of her fluids were still on the ground which caused her to blush slightly, however, Aiden who was focused on his request didn't notice any of that.
"Would you be open to recruiting someone else into your family?" asked Aiden, before revealing what he wanted to say.
Melinda was a little confused hearing that, dismissing her earlier lewd thoughts and getting focused on the request that Aiden was just about to make.
"Um, sure why not?" replied Melinda, still unsure why he was going to ask.
Well, she had an idea. In fact, what it was, but she ignored which person that Aiden would choose to join her family.
"Alright, then would you make Emma Everheart join your family?" asked Aiden, as he stopped playing around the bush, finally revealing why he was there.
Melinda smiled a little when hearing that name because she had heard of it before, the prodigy of the Everheart family that was what many called her.
However, the situation was complicated as Emma really was part of the Everheart family. Her mother was the head, would she even want to join the Emberbane family?
Melinda didn't know yet, but she knew that it wouldn't be a bad thing for her to recruit Emma since Aiden clearly cared about her.
So, wanting to please him, Melinda didn't think about it for too long.
"Sure, I can try. However, will she even join?"
