Chapter 189
Choosing to remain quiet Greg followed behind her. If she were married, Greg would have to settle for dealing with one noble as opposed to burning into the memories of everyone present his exact length and girth. Was it him, or was his guide putting a little more sway into her hips than was necessary? Not that she needed to do all that much for Greg's eyes to be drawn to the hypnotic sight of her heart-shaped posterior. Getting through the crowd of nobles without giving away the game required sticking closer to the woman than perhaps was appropriate, but they were almost in the clear when someone Greg didn't want to encounter right at this moment popped up in their path. "Mage Desia, how are you this evening?" Mage Kastia's daughter greeted. Despite the bow of respect she gave to someone of a higher rank, there was a sly gleam in her eyes as if she'd caught them with their hand in the cookie jar. It only now occurred to Greg that he hadn't even bothered to check what tier the woma

You are not from Telako, are you?" The woman asked, studying him anew. "That is the second time this night I've been asked that question. What gave it away this time?" He asked. "They aren't related by blood, but Elwyn and the man we now know as Lord Faron grew up together. Both orphaned at the time, she practically raised him. The woman is something of a big sister, if not a godmother to Lord Faron. When Elwyn first had the chance to embark on the path of magic, she gave it to Lord Faron instead. She'd eventually begin to pursue magic herself, but far later in life. While he rose to the heights he has, she stalled out at the fourth tier. So while he is still at the peak of his life, she is drawing toward the end of hers. Rumor has it that he has tried to find her longevity treasures, but she's refused them all. The one time he tricked her into taking one, she refused to talk to him for a whole cycle. He now takes care of her the way she once did him. Whole households have been wi

For a second, she looked like she would just turn and walk away, but in the end, she answered him. "Three times," she said, turning to look away from Greg. "I dedicated almost ten cycles of time between each attempt, and the last time she saw me she called my designs lazy and uninspired! She told me to find another profession to devote myself to as I had no future in fashion," she said. From the look in the woman's eyes, that moment was burned into her mind. "Of course, I then went on to create the second most successful fashion house on the continent! Which tells you how much she knows about fashion!" The woman added in an acerbic tone, taking another sip of her drink. "You looked up to her, didn't you?" Greg more stated than asked. The pain in the woman's eyes and tone wasn't from just having a design or two turned down it was more personal than that. If she had started a fashion house of her own, it wasn't too much of a leap for Greg to think that this woman had once looked up to
Chapter 186
But while Greg at least had a strategy for trying to limit interaction between himself and the nobles, he was completely stumped as to what he would do about the slowly mounting lust he could feel flowing his way from the women around him. The closest that Greg could come to expressing what he was feeling, was ripples on a calm lake. Each woman was sending out ripples in the form of their lust. When coming from the women, the ripples didn't affect anyone around them. When the ripples hit Greg, however, they were sent out in all directions around him. And unlike the ripple that came at him, the one he sent out was just a little bit stronger and affected all the women around him. Each ripple was nothing, barely noticeable if one wasn't paying attention. But then there were more than a hundred women present and each of them was pinging him with desire every few seconds and he in turn was hitting each woman with the amplified lust of every other woman present. And as if that wasn't bad

Please forgive my fiancé, he's just very protective when it comes to me," it was Mage Kastia's daughter who finally broke the tense silence that had descended on the scene. With his blade still pressed up against the young man's throat, Greg looked between the two of them. It now made sense to Greg why this young man had chosen to step into his path when he'd had been approaching Mage Kastia's daughter. A strange man you've never seen before approaches your significant other. Any self-respecting man would step in to figure out what was going on. Even the punch could be somewhat justified. Greg had, after all, been flirting with his woman right in front of him. That the man felt disrespected and chose to act on it was perfectly understandable to Greg. What he couldn't understand, was the clear lust that he could feel coming from the young woman in waves even as she came to her fiancé's defense. The young lady had a good enough poker face that it didn't show on her expression, but the

The other puzzle piece to fall into place was the fact that Greg had spent a whole year in secluded meditation both tempering his willpower and trying to deepen his understanding of the law of desire. While he might not yet have mastered a law in the traditional sense, Greg had definitely become more in tune with the greater law of desire. While inside the dungeons, Greg had spent hours trying to sharpen his senses to the deeper truths of the world. He probably wasn't as in tune with the laws of the world as someone like Morpheus, or Olivia's true self for that matter. Greg, however, had far keener senses for things to do with the law of desire than any mortal could be. Having already gotten a sense for what lust felt like to his senses through the DISCERNING ring, and heightening his senses for the emotions that moved people through the law of desire, Greg immediately recognized it when a rush of lust washed over him coming from Mage Kastia's daughter. Unexpected as the reaction wa
