I Enslaved The Goddess Who Summoned Me

Chapter 26  Worried Stepsisters and Groups

"You shouldn't go," Sienna, my older stepsister, said unexpectedly, her voice laced with concern as she approached me.

"Why not?" I asked, adjusting the cumbersome armor that felt more like a hindrance than protection. It was supposed to safeguard me, but honestly, I didn't need it, especially not this low-level stuff. I was wearing it mainly to appease our teacher and ease her worries, though it seemed to have no effect on Sienna.

"It's dangerous this time. You've never joined us in fighting monsters before," Sienna pointed out, her worry evident.

"There's a first time for everything. I can't just hide inside the castle forever while everyone else is out there fighting," I replied, fastening my sword to my waist belt. That line was something I borrowed straight from Jason.

"You don't understand the danger ahead. If you want to fight, you should start slowly by joining the training sessions first, not by jumping straight into monster battles. We're going deeper into the Green Forest this time," Sienna explained, her eyes pleading.

I sighed, puzzled by her persistence. "I don't get why you're trying to stop me, Sienna. I have the right to do what I want, don't I?" I asked, pretending to be oblivious, though I knew she was just worried. I wanted to gauge the depth of her concern.

Sienna's expression turned upset "I'm doing this because I care about you. You're still my stepbrother, and that doesn't change just because we're in another world."

"Is that really what you think, Sienna? It's been three years since we became step-siblings, but I don't remember you ever showing this much concern for me before. Don't feel obliged to worry," I said with a smile, trying to lighten the mood.

"You talk too much for no reason, Nathan." Siara, my younger stepsister, joined us, her expression a mix of anger and frustration. "Sienna is just worried about you. You don't need to be so defensive."

"I'm not upset, Siara. I just don't like pretending. What about you? Are you worried?" I asked, turning my attention to her.

"Yes, I am. Even if we don't show it, we've lived together for three years," she replied, crossing her arms. "And think about your father. When we get back to Earth, he'll want to see you alive too."

I couldn't help but laugh. Siara frowned, clearly annoyed, but I wasn't laughing at her.

It was just...

"My father? I can assure you he doesn't care whether I'm dead or alive," I said, shocking both Sienna and Siara.

They stood there, speechless, so I took the opportunity to step closer to Sienna and gently hugged her.

Sienna flinched slightly as I wrapped my arms around her waist, but I held her close, trying to convey what words couldn't.

"W...what are you…"

"Thank you for worrying about me, but I'll be fine," I whispered in her ear. "Big sister."

"R...right..." Sienna mumbled, averting her eyes as she let me hug her awkwardly.

Her ample breasts pressed against me, and I couldn't help but indulge in the sensation for a brief moment before stepping back.

I turned to leave, casting a glance at Siara, who stood there dumbfounded, clearly expecting some words from me even if not a hug but I just left. "Please come back with everyone safe, Hero Jason." A little distance away, a scene straight out of a hero novel was unfolding.

Princess Adelia was holding Jason's hands, her eyes filled with worry as if he were heading off to war.

"I already told you, you can call me Jason, Adelia," Jason said with a warm smile.

"You are still a Hero," Adelia shook her head. "And I am a princess. We don't have any connection…" n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

I could see exactly where this was going.

"Don't worry. I'll talk to the Emperor once I'm back," Jason assured her.

"I will be patient then," Adelia said, her smile brightening with happiness.

As expected of a princess, she knew very well how to use her charm and status.

The situation was developing faster than I had anticipated, so maybe I would need to handle the princess before Jason arranged their marriage.

After all, I wasn't about to let anyone take a princess's purity before me.

"Don't forget to stay with your group and don't go too deep. Just the new area we talked about, understood?" Oscar instructed as soon as we were teleported inside the forest.

"Yes!!" we all responded in unison.

Everyone nodded and dispersed into their respective groups. Jason, unsurprisingly, was surrounded mostly by girls, but my younger stepsister, Siara, was with him too. I couldn't deny that it bothered me. Before he seriously starts to pursue her, I needed to act.

Aiden went with his own group, while Aisha and Gwen paired up. Sienna, being the oldest, took charge of another group. She had been dragged into this summoning, but she was part of the class now.

I noticed Courtney's indecision about which group to join, but I ignored it. She seemed torn between joining Jason's group again or finding another, eventually deciding to join Sienna's group.

I waited until everyone had chosen a group before starting to walk off alone.

"Where are you going alone, Nathan?" Amelia Carter, our teacher, called out, not letting me slip away unnoticed.

"Training to fight monsters, teacher," I replied.

"You can't go alone," Amelia said, shaking her head firmly.

"Then you can accompany me?" I suggested.

"Euh..." Amelia looked surprised by my proposal. She glanced around and saw that all the other students were already with their groups, leaving only a few knights and Oscar nearby. Cecilia had joined Jason's group, likely to protect the strongest hero, probably under orders from the Emperor.

"I will accompany you too," Oscar spoke up, stepping forward.

A pity.

I had originally planned to take advantage of being alone with Amelia to completely conquer her body and soul. But now, with Oscar tagging along, a new plan began to form in my mind.

Wait, maybe this is even better?

I had been looking for a way to get rid of Oscar for a while now. This could be the perfect opportunity. If everything went smoothly, I could kill two birds with one stone.

I will have to be careful to not get caught but once it's over, one annoyance would be erased.

And then, I could enjoy her.

I smirked inwardly at the thought.

Time to conquer my beautiful teacher.
