Chapter 94 Taming Process

Amelia crawled to my side with a few tears of pain in her eyes and sat down as I ordered her to.

I stuck out my leg towards the blonde priestess and pulled her towards me. She couldn't resist my strength and her head eventually fell onto my thigh.

"Tell me more about this fate and its strings. What do they do and what is their use?" I demanded coldly and began to caress her head gently.

Taming process required a long time with a lot of natural brainwashing but I decided to use my charm status to the fullest and tame this priestess in a short amount of time.

After thinking about the charm stat for more than a year, I was a few steps away from finding its real use. For now all I knew was that, charm stat is the effect of the person to another person or people.

For example with my beauty I have affected many people but this was a basic thing. If I knew the proper way, I could make people love me with their whole being and sacrifice themselves without a thought. Or, I could make people scared of me like I was a Devil.

But the key point was the proper way. If I didn't know how to act like a proper Devil or didn't know how to seduce people, they would just see my beauty and drool over me with lust. Instead of being madly in love with me or see me as a murderous Devil.

However, I knew a little bit about brainwashing someone. So it was easy for me to brainwash this woman with my extremely high charm.

Don't ask why I know how to brainwash someone. Okay? It is a natural skill of mine.

Anyway, what I was doing was simple. I was acting like a cold, ruthless bastard who forces women but at the same time I was giving Amelia comforting caresses to confuse her mind.

Normal people wouldn't fall for this simple trick and Amelia wasn't an exception to this. But she would eventually search for something to lean on when the fear inside of her bloom and she began to despair.

And when this happens, the first person that comes into her mind will be me, who is ruthless and cold but at the same time a loving person who caresses her hair gently and giving her 'rewards'.

It was a very small, unnecessary gesture on my part that I would definitely forget but humans were the best at finding hope in these kinds of tiny, idiotic things. This was like their second nature after their adaptability. And I was planning to use these things to tame this year priestsess of mine.

Anyway, I looked at Amelia, who had a confused expression on her face while she was still trembling with fear, albeit lesser than before.

"As long as you are a good girl, then you don't have to be scared and I will even reward you." I said quietly and pressed my thumb on her luscious lips.

"But if you become a bad girl and make me sad, then you know what will happen." I added with a cold tone and pressed to her throat.

"Do you understand, my dear priestess?"

Amelia's face paled considerably and she nodded her head frantically.

"That is good. Now explain to me the things I asked just now." I said and tenderly patted her head.

"Umm…"

Amelia hesitantly opened her mouth while looking at my hand, as if she was scared of it but she began to speak after some encouraging headpats.

"Fate isn't absolute… but it symbolizes the most probable outcome. In short, you can change your fate but it will be difficult as it will come true as long as you don't try to change it with all of your being." Amelia said slowly as if she was explaining to a child but there was excitement in her voice while teaching about fate to me. Her obsession with fate was real.

"Hmm… I think I understand a bit. Tell me about the connection between fate and fate strings." I said flatly while still caressing her head.

Amelia's eyes shook after hearing me as if she forgot about me while talking about fate. Then she took a deep breath and continued her explanation.

"There is no single thing as fate, only the strings of fate. Their most classic symbolic looks are red threads of fate, as they are the most common. This threads connects items to items, humans to items or even tree to tree. These threads are impossible to count because of their close to infinite numbers which makes it hard to find your desirable fate."

I nodded my head with understanding and brushed my hand to Amelia's lips and lowered to her neck.

"So, if you can't even find the fate of something you need, then what is your worth? Will you just sleep and wait for me to save you from your imminent death?" I asked coldly and grabbed her neck without squeezing it.

Amelia's whole body shook and her back got straight but for some reason, she didn't even try to resist my touch.

'Did she accept her situation?' I thought but internally shook my head. It was too early for her to fall for my brainwashing as I began just now. So it was strange for her to not do anything and staying still while I was holding her neck.

But this didnt last long and Amelia opened her mouth. For some reason, her voice was abnormally calm on the contrary to her rambling body.

"I can't find the desirable fates but I can feel the fates that will about to happen."

After saying this, she got quiet for a second and added:

"For example, I can feel that all of us will die in minutes." her voice was calm and even as if she was telling a story of another people instead of ours.
