Beginning Of Multiverse Saga-Chapter 379: Sneaking Into Sharky’s Room 2

After thinking everything through, Charlotte made up her mind to knock.

I’ll just pretend I didn’t know there was someone else inside. As long as I’m not awkward, the only ones who will be awkward are the ones inside.

Sharky wanted to ignore it, but when he sensed the water-like aura surrounding the place, he knew Charlotte had already searched his room with her soul. If he continued to deceive her, he might really offend her badly. That was why he replied after a moment of hesitation, "Oh, it’s big sis Charlotte. I was feeling thirsty, so I woke up to drink some water."

He got up and walked over to open the door after speaking.

Cassandra began to panic. Why is he opening the door now?

What am I supposed to do?

The worst part was that the clothes she was wearing might be Charlotte’s! If the original owner saw her, wouldn’t it be absolute social suicide?!

However, Sharky had already opened up the door before she could even react. I’m finished, I’m finished!

Cassandra could only go for broke. She forced a smile to make herself look a bit more normal.

Charlotte was initially conflicted, wondering what she would do if Sharky didn’t reply. With her status and identity, that kind of problem had never happened in her life. That was why when she really did run into it, she discovered that she was completely baffled, and that she was even less adept at dealing with such situations than ordinary women.

And yet, the door actually opened up easily. She felt warm inside. Looks like he didn’t plan to trick me on purpose.

"Why is big sis Charlotte here? Why don’t you come in for a cup of tea?" Sharky asked, then moved aside and invited her in.

However, Charlotte immediately waved her hand and said, "There is no need. I was just going for a stroll since I was unable to sleep. I just wanted to see if you were okay while passing by."

If there had been no one else, she couldn’t be sure whether she would have followed him in. However, while there was clearly another woman inside, she still had her sense of shame. There was no way she would dare to go in.

She pretended to absentmindedly look into the room while speaking. When she saw the face of the person inside, she was stunned. From her perspective, the one inside was actually Alina. Why is it her?

Cassandra smiled awkwardly at her. She didn’t even know where to put her hands at that moment. It really was too embarrassing.

Charlotte quickly said, "Since you are safe and sound, there is no need for me to worry. I will be heading back." She didn’t wait for him to say anything, and simply left without even turning around again.

Perhaps because she was leaving too quickly, or because she was absent-minded, she almost slipped and fell by the doorstep.

Alina really is sly... She looked calm and indifferent on the surface, and pretended to be sleeping soundly next to us, but she actually snuck over.

They were lovers to begin with, anyway. Would we even be able to say anything if she came over directly?

No wonder she didn’t even greet me just now. She’s probably embarrassed too, right?

For some reason, the trees and grass in the palace looked especially green along the way. She could only continuously console herself, telling herself that it was better for that romantic calamity to happen to Alina than any other woman.

Ahhhhh! Then why do I care so much?

Diana, having followed her over, was confused. Why is she acting all dramatic with her face red?

After thinking about it, she decided to check out Sharky’s room first to see what was going on.

At that moment in Sharky’s room, Cassandra said with a red face, "Young master, I don’t even know how to face them tomorrow..."

She was a country’s lord, after all. She had come to a man’s bed in the middle of the night, and had even been caught while roleplaying. Just the thought alone was embarrassing.

Sharky chuckled and said, "Don’t worry, she didn’t recognize you. She thought you were a different person because of the clothes you’re wearing."

Cassandra’s eyes widened. She replied, "There’s actually something as magical as that?"

Sharky was about to explain when his expression froze. Why is there another one here?

"Brat, why did that stone cold woman run away with a red face? Did you do something... to her...?" a loud but pleasant voice called out. Diana was standing in the entrance, but she saw the scene inside halfway through her sentence and immediately froze up.

Sharky was about to reply when Diana raised her hand to stop him, saying, "There’s no need to explain anything. I understand. Sorry for disturbing you."

She also turned around to leave after saying that. No wonder that stone cold woman had that kind of reaction! Turns out she ended up running into a couple’s passion!

Hmph, that Alina really is cunning. She pretended to be with us on the surface, and yet she snuck over here.

---

Sharky chuckled bitterly when he saw her leave. Looks like I have to be careful tomorrow. If Alina is exposed, I’ll definitely be in big trouble.

After closing the door again, he said to Cassandra, "There’ll be problems if we stay here. Who knows, someone else might show up. Why don’t we go to your room instead?"

Cassandra bit her lips and said in a troubled manner, "When I visited you, I came with my trusted aides. They’re trustworthy and won’t leak any information. But if you go to my room, there are all types of people and forces watching. We might not be able to keep it a secret then."

Sharky didn’t want the entire city to know about what was happening. But the situation is urgent, so he decided to stay here for a moment, but he didn’t know that mistake would expose him.

He created a sound barrier and asked her, "The reason why you weren’t willing to go to your room is because you didn’t want Magnus to know?"

Cassandra’s face turned pale. In the end, she still said quietly, "You’re right. The fiend race territories are a place where the weak are prey for the strong. Our Fox race’s women are well known for our feminine charms and aren’t good at battle, so it’s only natural that others would drool over us. That’s why we can only rely on the strong to protect us."

"Among the beast races, the Tiger race and Lion race are the strongest. Since the Fox race and Tiger race have been rather close historically, we chose to rely on Magnus. Over the years, he’s protected us a lot, but of course, we’ve also helped him do many things. That’s why from the outside, it looks as if I’m Magnus’s woman.

"Because I need to borrow his name to scare off people with evil motives, nor have I cleared things up, for some reason, Magnus has also tacitly approved of that."

Sharky couldn’t help but chuckle. This really was a perfect recreation of the saying ’the fox exploits the tiger’s might’. He looked into Cassandra’s eyes and asked, "Then are you Magnus’s woman?"

Cassandra protested, "Didn’t young master already personally experience it last night? Whether I am or not, shouldn’t you know more clearly than anyone else?" 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

When he remembered the beauty’s foxy charms from the previous night, Sharky couldn’t help but shiver. He asked, "Then was Magnus the one who sent you last night?"

This Magnus isn’t wrong in the head somehow, is he? Why would he send this woman he has an ambiguous relationship with to me?

The worst part was that he had never even heard of that name before today. So why was this Tiger race guy so intent on dealing with him?

Cassandra’s face paled. After a moment of hesitation, she nodded and said, "It was indeed Magnus who had me come over last night. But he didn’t make me... do that. I actually don’t know what was going on either. I was muddle-headed and just... just..."

She felt incredible remorse when she said that. The only way to redeem herself was to show that she was the one who had acted proactively last night, that she was willing. That way, she would at least leave behind a good impression in Sharky’s mind and increase his feelings of tenderness.

I’m finished, I’m finished! I’m not a qualified fox-spirit after all; I’ve shamed all of my ancestors...

Sharky was stunned. He had initially thought that she was the one who had taken the initiative then, and that she was already well experienced. Now, it turned out that she had been a young and inexperienced maiden, leaving him a bit baffled.

He suddenly thought of something and asked, "You used your charm technique on me last night, right?"

Cassandra panicked a bit. Under Sharky’s fierce gaze, however, she still felt guilty. She replied, "I used a bit, but only a bit..."

Sharky finally understood what had happened. She had probably used her Fox race’s charm technique on him, but because of his stronger soul, it had instead bounced off.

"So what do you think about me?" He asked her.

She looked at him, and knew he was handsome, and by beating the Lion King’s son, he was also stronger.

Moreover, he has already defeated the Golden Crow Crown Prince! This man is really too mysterious.

But then after thinking about the Golden Crow Crown Prince, she warned him, "Young master, you absolutely can’t go to the Fiend King Court."

Sharky was stunned, asking, "Why?"

"Because the matter of young master’s transcendent aptitude has already been exposed. The reason why Magnus gave me the order to approach you was because he wanted to take the chance to obtain your blood essence," Cassandra said, deciding to just tell him everything. "When you fought against the Golden Crow Crown Prince, he feared that if he used force, his men might not be your match. That’s why he tried to use gentler methods, sending me to approach you."

How had Magnus found out about his transcendent aptitude? In the end, he figured that it was probably a lot of his blood had landed on the war chariot and weapons during the fight against the Golden Crow Crown Prince.

Sigh, I was too careless. Back then, in Brightmoon City, Principal Scarlett warned me to never reveal that, but after nothing happened for so long, I ended up becoming negligent.

Sharky sighed and said, "You still managed to complete your mission in the end."

Cassandra’s face turned pale. She quickly exclaimed, "I didn’t!"

When he saw her nervous expression, Sharky said with a smile, "I was just joking around with you."

Cassandra finally understood what he meant. She became extremely embarrassed. "Young master, you’re so bad... How could I possibly hand over that kind of thing?"

"Ahem..." Sharky was also caught off guard. This woman seemed to have misunderstood him. He quickly changed the topic, adding, "Why don’t I just give you a bit of blood essence then? Otherwise, you won’t be able to explain things to Magnus."
