Chapter 168 - Heated

Mogranius' predicament yesterday, to everyone's luck was better explained. But he caused a fairly strong amount of Drama right after with his new goals. He firmly insisted on going back to that Ghost Tree to find out what happened, he wanted to figure out what could possibly damage such a powerful fairly invincible tree. If he was lucky enough, he would try to stop depending on this Tree as well. Even if he has to give up his Paranormal vision as an exchange to such a portion of Freedom.

He is a 58 year old man with roughly a couple of decades left on his life to live, but would he want to spend that time being afraid or paranoid? Would anyone want to live like that? Would anyone even want to see their Elders live their last day scared and paranoid? The majority wouldn't unless they had a strong reason to feel so, or were purely evil. There are two parts of every story I suppose.

He doesn't want his well being depended on whether the Ghost Tree is safe or not. No he doesn't want to spend his final years like that, and he definitely doesn't want to make Commander Alia go through what she went yesterday, ever again. She is portrayed as a Strong force to be reckoned with, and to find out that she almost faced a Heart Attack because of this little predicament? It was heart shattering! He doesn't want it repeated, her soft heart can't put up with it.

His insistence to visit that Ghost Tree again once more is strong, but Commander Alia didn't plan to let him go there towards that life threateningly dangerous experiment, at least not alone. But despite from whatever she said, Mogranius wasn't listening. He kept insisting, insisting to go there but to go alone. At least he insisted to do so until King Michael proposed a solution to temporary keep Mogranius here until he calms down enough to reconsider his choices, Mogranius was asked for a favour in the name of his hometown, Gaster Kingdom.

He proposed another project which can bring a rather large temporary profit, Mogranius was asked to be a Protector. At that offer, although a bit insecure and even scared that he will faint again when they need him the most, he accepted to tackle this project.

What Project would King Michael ask assistance off enough to stop Mogranius from continuing with such an important goal? Well, he proposed a Project having to do with Wheat. We are not talking about a Couple Hundred Kilograms here but about ten thousand!

With such a big future profit about to come from the newly established Chicken farm, why would King Michael waste time with something as cheap as Wheat? His plan with this entire project, is to replace the fish consumption with something cheaper. It isn't a good economical move to have expensive meat as their main daily meal.

This offer calmed Commander Alia down greatly, she was close to beating Mogranius up. After the Arguments calmed down, she approached Mogranius' house here in Gaster Kingdom in order to get the chance of speaking with him privately. The heart is open the most when mouths aren't yelling, and ego is replaced with understanding. That's a known fact and she wanted to use it to her advantage, to reach some sort of understanding.

Mogranius wasn't dramatic either after he calmed down, he accepted her inside right away with a hug and apologized for yelling. Throughout these arguments he failed to express for what is he trying to do all of this for, so now it is time to reach out and connect. Her heart was hurting due to all of the worrying she was put through these couple of days, so she clung on with that hug for a full minute, she didn't let go. This situation was even harder to tackle when she kept remembering that the man she loved fainted after they all were having such joyfull laughs.

They grabbed a couple of wooden chairs and sat near the lit Fireplace, Commander Alia decided to break the silence by asking him the Question she should have asked before instead of calling his ideas crazy in front of everyone and start arguing. "Why do you want to do this? Why do you have to go all the way to another Country on foot, alone? What if you faint? This winter cold will not forgive you." Grabbing his hand, trying to get his full attention, she expressed with a tear dropping from her eyes. "I just don't want to loose you Mogranius."

"I have no choice darling. You saw how I fainted yesterday, I can't live my life worrying that I might collapse sooner or later. What if I was in a mission? What if there were more lives at stake?" Getting a bit emotional but refusing to let out a tear, his pain was noticeable by his shaking tone. "I got lucky once, but Luck was rarely by my side throughout life. Sometimes I feel like these worries will never end!"

As for support, Commander Alia knows best how to comfort him. This time she didn't fail to support. "I will look after you, I will never leave your side. You can't ever go anywhere without me! Even when you will be 90, I will feed you by hand." She expressed while holding both of his hands now, pulling him towards her direction and slowly removing her shoes using her own feet to do so.

"You... you are the main reason I want to destroy this merge with that Tree. I don't want to destroy your heart again." At such an expression, he couldn't hold in his tears anymore. This last event has hurt his heart far more than expressed. Commander Alia managed to get some of the pain out with some tears she let out yesterday, but Mogranius has been holding all his tears in so far.

Seeing the love of her life cry, she couldn't take it anymore. She wanted to relieve his stress in a rather a.d.u.l.t way. "So you are doing this for me? That does it!" Her heart felt a strong ache, but it was out of love. She also felt a bit guilty about arguing with him while his intend is so pure. Mogranius was still seated, but she dragged him to the left so he can face the Fireplace. Afterwards sitting on his lap, using her soft lips she decided to thank all of this care. 

While still above his lap, she stood just slightly and removed her armour, pulling it up from below. While she was removing her own armour, she also accidentally dragged her shirt up just a little bit. Enough for Mogranius to see her belly. It appeared to be extensively toned, hard as a rock! This is the first time he was able to see this part of her.

Noticing that the situation is getting very heated, Mogranius became shy. Even more than he was yesterday when he realized that Commander Alia saw him n.a.k.e.d. So while sweating enough to the point of stuttering, he asked. "I don't know how to do this!"

"I don't have a clue either. But you won't escape me this time. You got lucky in Lan Zhe!" Lucky? Perhaps something happened that I didn't write down yet? 

"Yes yes. At least this time there won't be any Kids to dash in." Even at such a situation, he will use sarcasm? This man really won't quit it, but to his bad fate it only inspired Commander Alia to tease him more.

"Good thing they walked in time too, they would think that I'm being attacked by a cave bear if they walked in a bit later. Learn to shave shortie!" Her pointing out that fact, reminded Mogranius that she actually stripped him n.a.k.e.d yesterday! So he lost the bit of confidence he had and became shy again, so rare to see but he was completely under her control for once.

Surprising to both Mogranius and herself, her confidence was too large even after considering how intense this situation is getting. "Why are you so shy tough man? Did someone steal your c.o.c.kyness?"

"I..." He tried to form a sentence, but was left speechless when Commander Alia dropped her armor down to the ground and pulled up her shirt after too, since she wasn't wearing anything else from her belly to her shoulders once she removed that shirt, Mogranius got to see a lot more than her belly this time and was sweating in nervousness and keeping his hands on mid air out of panic and not daring to look down, he was only looking upwards, avoiding looking at her b.r.e.a.s.ts at all cost.

"Stop talking old man." She smirked and sat on his lap too fast. She ended up tipping the chair over and falling down along with him. Luckily, her special week ended this morning. They had no reason to stop right now, everyone else is busy with another task. These two love birds are completely alone.
