"By the way, where are you going?" It has been more than 10 minutes since Aditya has started following Alicia in the capital. He has no idea where this woman was taking him.

"Why don't you guess?" Alicia acted mysterious. Aditya unfortunately wasn't able to see the smile hidden under that veil.

"You're going taking me to meet you friends....~"

"Nope. Let's try again."

Aditya thought for a few seconds and realized where they were again. 'Why didn't I think of it sooner?'

"You're going to the guild" Alicia widened her eyes in shock.

"Sir, how did you know that I was taking you to my guild? Do you perhaps have some kind of power that allows you to read others' minds?"

Aditya picked up the flow and replied with a smirk. "I can read people's hearts. I can tell that this young lady is in love."

In truth it wasn't that difficult to guess where Alicia was taking him. Knowing her personality and her love for money, the second thing that Alicia would do after seeing her family was obviously checking on how her business was doing. In terms of wealth, Alicia was undoubtfully the richest businesswoman on seven continents. No one had earned more money by doing business than the goddess of wealth.

"Can sir please tell me the name of the person that has taken over this lady's heart?"

"I can't give this young lady the person's name as I don't know his name but I can give you some hints about that person's appearance. Would you like to know?"

"Please....."

"That person that this young and beautiful lady is in love with is over 6 feet tall."

"Anything else." Alicia asked back while barely holding her smile.

Aditya pretended to think by stroking his chin with his right palm. "The person that this young maiden in love with is called the Emperor by millions of people. He is highly respected. His name has spread all over the continent."

"Anything else?"

"I can tell you more but this young master's wish must be fulfilled first. This young master never offers his service to anyone for free." Aditya made a serious face.

"I wonder what this young master's wish is. This lady shall try her best to fulfill the young master's wish. But please have some mercy on this young lady. I barely have enough money to feed my family." Aditya nearly rolled his eyes at Alicia. 'Woman you're the richest businesswoman in the entire world. Yet you're saying that you don't have enough money to feed your family. If other merchants heard your words, they would cough up blood and just die.'

"This young miss can rest assured. Young master is not interested in money. This young master has a kind of problem. Young master has to pay a price every time he uses his powers to read other people's heart. Let me warn you, young miss, the price that young master has to pay is half of his lifespan. To prevent young master from having to pay half of his lifespan, the young man needs a certain thing from the certain whom he had read the heart of." If someone else heard Aditya and Alicia's conversation, that person would never doubt Aditya and Alicia. That person would think that everything that he was hearing was true.

"Young master, you're doing this young lady a big favor by telling me about the person whom I love. Just tell this young lady what you need from me."

"Although this young master is ashamed to say it, this young master requires a kiss from this young lady."

For the next one minute, Alicia did not say anything. She just stared at Aditya. Aditya also looked at her. As the seconds passed, Aditya felt that he had gone too far. Maybe he should have asked for something else.

Sigh!

"Since the young master is doing a big favor by telling this lady the appearance of my loved one, this lady shall give a kiss to the young master. But only after the young master has told this lady the appearance of my fated one."

"The person that loves this lady can fight 5th-order cultivators and win against them. Wherever he goes, he is respected. He is a very handsome looking man. His handsomeness can charm the hearts of all the maidens in his Empire."

Aditya gave Alicia a smirk and asked. "Now, does the princess know the person whose appearance that this young master has spoken of?"

"Of course, I know. The person whom you have spoken of is sitting right in front of my very eyes. But I am not sure about the handsome part."

"Wrong. I was talking about your father." Alicia's eyes widened. She realized that from the beginning, Aditya was hinting at her father.

"Pay, my lady, it's time for you to keep your promise and give me the kiss that I have been waiting for. Don't worry, if you're shy then we can pull the curtains and kiss in the darkness. I promise no one will know." Aditya closed his eyes and waited for the kiss that never came.

"Why should I give you a kiss? I never promised anything to anybody."

Aditya narrowed his eyes and closely looked at the princess. "Just you wait, sooner or later I will get that kiss from you."

"Hmph! You can dream all you want but your dream will never come true." Soon the carriage stopped in front of the guild.

Just as the carriage doors were opened, Aditya heard the voice of a girl. When he looked at the girl, he found a dark elf welcoming Alicia with a happy smile. The dark elf appeared to have shoulder-length white hair. The woman had tan skin and an angelic face. What made Aditya surprised was the fact that this woman had beginner 5th-order cultivation.

The dark elf woman was wearing a beautiful long white dress and had tied her hair in a ponytail. She had worn blood drop earrings which were very eye-catching.

"Sylvie, it's been a white since we met each other. How have you been doing?" The dark elf woman named Sylvie and Alicia hugged each other.

"My lady, I have been doing well. What about you?" Sylvie wasn't expecting her boss, Alicia, to return. It has been a few months since the last time both of them met each other.

"I have been doing well. Sylvie let me introduce you to Aditya. He is my boyfriend."

"What???????" Sylvie's scream attracted the attention of everyone inside the guild building and the people who were walking on the streets. Everyone was looking at Sylvie and Alicia.

"Look, its' Lady Sylvie and her royal highness."

"It seems the rumor of her royal highness returning was true after all."

"It hasn't been even a day and Her royal highness has come to visit Lady Sylvie."

"Of course. They are best friends after all."

"One is the princess of the Ethereal Empire and the other is the owner and leader of the biggest Guild in Westnia."

"There were some rumors that suggest Her royal highness had funded lady Sylvie when expanding the White Lotus guild."

With his enhanced senses, Aditya was able to hear a thing or two about Sylvie and had managed to learn her identity. 'It looks like no one really knows that Alicia is the real guild Leader. To the whole world Sylvie is the guild leader."

"Sylvie, let's head inside and talk." Before Sylvie could reply, Alicia grabbed her right and pulled her inside the guild office. Aditya also followed Alicia and entered the guild.

Inside the guild, there were more than hundreds of adventurers. Some of them were either sitting on the chairs and drinking. While some of the party members were looking for suitable missions with high pay and low risk.

No one stopped Alicia as everyone in the guild knew her identity. Even the non adventurers knew that her royal highness was a regular visitor of White Lotus guild.

Aditya followed Alicia and Sylvie all the way to the third floor which was the personal floor of the guild leader. Compared to the 1st and 2nd floors, the 3rd floor was very luxurious.

"Aditya sat down." Aditya nodded and then sat on the red soft couch. Alicia had brought Aditya to her personal room. This room was the guild leader's office room. This is where Alicia and Sylvie mostly held their meetings.

The office room had a table opposite the door and next to the window through which the royal palace could be seen. 5 meters away from the table, two couches were placed opposite to each other. The floor was covered with a red carpet. The walls were beautifully painted. There were various painted arts of Sylvie and Alicia hanging on the walls.

"Alicia, is he really your boyfriend?" Sylvie was looking at Aditya. Aditya was also looking at Sylvie. Adiya wondered just how old this young looking woman was?

"Hehe! Of course not. Aditya is acting as my boyfriend.

"So you're fooling your family." Sylvie being Alicia's best friend, knew her friend's troubles and worries.

"You will be shocked if you knew about Aditya's identity." Alicia's words only made Sylvie, the beginner 5th-order more curious about this handsome young man's identity.

"His identity is ..." Alicia made a dramatic pause.

"Just say it."

"He is my fiance." Sylvie widened her eyes. For a moment her entire body trembled as she looked at Aditya. For almost two decades, Sylvie has been hearing about the Dragon King's son. She never expected Alicia to fool her family with her real fiance.

"Does your parents know about this?" Sylvie felt her throat go dry. If the people learned Aditya's identity, she can only imagine the wild reaction that the people would have.

"Of course not. There is no such thing as engagement." Alicia and Aditya had come to an agreement. Neither of them was going to mention the contract or the fact that Aditya was technically Alicia's husband.

Instead of claiming the goddesses, Aditya wanted to break off this contract so that the other girls could also be free. He did not feel good about forcing a girl to marry him. Even if Aditya married the seven goddesses, there would be no feelings involved. It would be a tasteless, bitter and black and white life for Aditya and the 7 girls. This is not what Aditya wanted.

"I understand." Sylvie finally managed to calm down but little she knew that her best friend was going to give her another big shock.

"By the way, Aditya's fiance is the Goddess of Alchemy, Julia." Sylvie feltt someone had struck her with multiple bolts of lightning. She almost felt like she was going to lose her consciousness.

For the next 5 minutes, Sylvie did not speak. She tried to process the words that she heard. After a long time, Sylvie finally recovered and looked at Alicia again.

"You're not joking are you?"

"Of course not. Julia has been living with Aditya in disguise. Two of them fell into love and now they are officially engaged. Aditya only came here because I owed him."

"Alicia, you're taking a big risk. Sooner or later, your parents will find out the truth. I can't even begin to imagine what would happen that day." Sylvie felt that her best friend was taking too many risks.

"You're worrying too much. My plan won't fail." Little did the goddess knew that her plan had already been seen through by her family.
