Chapter 251 - Ian, I'm Sorry (Nina Perspective)

She was exactly like how Ian described her, pure white long hair, large breasts, a small waist, and an oversized spider's abdomen. Yet, her figure seduces you as she sways in the air, descending slowly from the roof. A thin strand comes out from behind her, as she lowers her body head first. Her scarlet eyes smile at me, all 8 of them, as her face draws near, spotting the moment we were both on the same eye level.

"And what do we owe the pleasure of meeting the Queen of Spiders herself." - Nina

"I'm impressed you know who I am, but I guess that is because you are acquainted with my beloved Ian." - Selino

Her long purple tongue licks her lips, as the temperature drops a few degrees. She speaks of Ian as if they were in a relationship, but her expressions make it seem like Ian was nothing more than delicious prey. Gulping down my saliva, I nervously smile, doing my best to maintain eye contact with at least one of the eyes.

"So… Why are you inside this room with us? I'm sure it isn't because you want to gossip about Ian and Luke. There must be a reason someone like yourself is going out of their way to talk to two lowly people such as ourselves." - Nina

"Oh please, honey. I know the both of you are apostles of Ares, and I'm sure Hordey knows too. He just hasn't said anything yet because having you here is better than having you wandering around." - Selino

"What do you mean he already knows? Nina has only just become an apostle, there should be no information on her. Her coronation was done in secret. How?" - Sylvia

Standing behind Selino, Syliva expresses her concerns. A slight nervous tone could be detected as she quickly fires off her words. One of our advantages has been exposed before it could even be used, but she says is true, how does the Horde already know? And Hordey? How close is the Queen of Spiders for her to call one of the Kings a nickname like that?

"Hmm, it seems the both of you don't know." - Selino

Cutting the thin strand with one of her legs, she does a small side flip in the air landing gracefully between us. Ushering the both of us to sit on the bed, she makes herself comfortable by spinning a small web cushion on the ground.

"The both of you exude Holy Energy from your bodies just by breathing. It seems neither of you is aware of this but both me and Hordey and maybe a couple of others will be able to detect your presence because of the Holy Energy. There is no hiding it from us because we are more sensitive to the powers of the Gods. Cas-Cas doesn't know because he is too infatuated with the idea of revival and reincarnation." - Selino

"I see, so the Horde already knows that I was hiding my skills but chose to not do anything. He most likely thinks we are too weak to be of a threat to him." - Nina

"Not just that, but it is more of a pain to be dealing with a God or a Goddess than it is to deal with their apostles." - Selino

"Why are you telling us these things? Why are you even here talking to us?" - Sylvia

A sinister grin appears on Selino's lips, as her gaze naturally draws to Sylvia. Creeping forward with her body, using only her front legs, she leans in close to Sylvia until they were just inches apart. Unmoving, Sylvia stares back at Selino, determined to not lose the staring contest.

"Nothing much to it honey~ I'm just bored. There isn't much to do in this lonely place than to tease the maids and build my army of spiders." - Selino

"Then you don't mind exchanging information?" - Nina

Leaning away from Sylvia and moving closer to me, Selino's grin widens, and her eyes form half moons. A slight chuckle escapes her lips as if everything unfolding right now was just a fun experiment for her.

"Now, now. Just because I told you some things doesn't mean I will be telling you more. I just felt generous when I told you all that information before." - Selino

"Is there anything we can do so that you will be willing to share the information with us?" - Nina

"Maybe. Maybe not. Right now, I'm merely enjoying talking to different people. Hordey is so stiff with his words, and he shows no interest in a beautiful female like myself, and Cas-Cas, the little boy has no interest in anything but his toys. Rautt is too much of a muscle brain to care and the others, well are just boring.

Hmm… How about this? Entertain me, and maybe, just maybe I will reward you but if you fail to do so… Both your bodies will be mine to use for a while. How is that, honey?" - Selino

"Nina, I don't know about this maybe we should think about it for a bit before-" - Sylvia

"We agree." - Nina

"NINA!" - Sylvia

"Well said! I'll call you darling and the other one I'll call honey. So, darling what are you going to do to entertain me." - Selino

"Well, it's not something I will do. Both Sylvia and I don't need to do anything." - Nina

"Are you trying to play games with me, darling? You won't like it when I get upset." - Selino

"It's not like that, Queen. It is because the best source of entertainment for you right not and for the foreseeable future is not us but Ian." - Nina

"Oh~ Do tell me more." - Selino

"You see, Queen. I can call you Queen, can't I? Or do you prefer a different name?" - Nina

"Call me Sel, darling. It's a nickname someone close to me used to call me." - Selino

"Alright then, Sel. Your problem from what I have deduced is that you are bored in this place. I can assume that you are unable to leave due to some sort of circumstance. However, if you were to be able to bypass that circumstance than the best way to entertain yourself is to be with someone who will entertain you.

And what better person than Ian! You two have already met, and you have given him such a gift as well. Don't you think it would be fun to torment him daily with your presence or maybe let him wake up to see your face? His expressions will be priceless and that is something you definitely cannot get while you are stuck here.

Furthermore, I have heard that Ian is currently speaking to two other females. With your majestic body, I'm sure you can if you wanted to seduce Ian, grabbing his full attention away from the other two girls. The problem with seduction is there might be no true feelings, but that can come after. If you defeat the girls without harming them, I'm sure Ian will look at you in a more positive light.

Once that happens, you will be by his side the whole time. You can tease him, speak to him and do so many things with him. You won't be bored as well because there are so many things happening near him, including battling, adventuring, and relaxing. It is only a matter of time before your boredom is cured. The only problem is getting to Ian which we can help with. We can put in a good word for you when you two meet for a second time and with that, you will be secured inside the small circle around Ian." - Nina

I rant on and on about the benefits of being with Ian to Selino, occasionally repeating myself as I was running out of words and my brain was overloading from the increasing tension in the room. Sylvia behind could only hold her head as she listens to me 'convincing' Selino. Even though I had no idea if this would work, I knew I had to think of something fast. After all, someone like Selino prefers if the answers were told to her fast and spontaneous, rather than thought out and methodical.

Finishing my rant, I look at Selino and to my surprise, I see her contemplate her decision. Did it work? Am I convincing her? Was I about to get us out of this hellhole the moment we were placed inside it?

"Darling… That idea… SOUNDS AMAZING! I can already see myself never bored. Ian's expressions were already priceless when I first found him. Being with him more would allow me to see him like that again and the thought about the other girls… Hehehe, I can already see me tying them up as I make them watch me play with Ian." - Selino

Drool slightly drops from the side of Selino's mouth as she imagines the different 'activities' she will potentially be doing with Ian. Wiping away the drool with her left arm, she looks at me seriously.

"Alright, darling. Your suggestion has entertained my thought and I will forgive you for the fact that I have to wait until I meet with Ian before your suggestion works. Now, then. What is it you want to know?" - Selino

I can't believe that worked… But, Ian. I'm sorry for the trouble coming for you soon. May you rest in peace.

"Well, Sel… Let's start with…" - Nina
