God of Systems: Maker of Heroes and Villains
Chapter 34: Adam's Secret

Keith woke up the next morning, but didn't move one bit. He remembered most of the night and there was only one word to describe it; unforgettable.

'It's a pity that she'll be marrying some random guy just because she made a promise. Well, it's her life and I don't really know her well enough to try and stop her.' he thought as he let out a slight sigh.

"Oho look who's awake."

He heard the familiar voice and looked to his left, only to see Amelia smirking at him, "Come on now, you owe me a thank you."

"You...." he began when he saw the dark circle under her eyes, "didn't sleep did you?"

"Of course not. Not with the amount of noise you two made. Heck, you went on for four whole hours... like don't you get tired?"

Keith simply smiled, not knowing how to explain. If he told her about his second awakened ability, she'd most probably freak out as there was no one who ever managed to have multiple awakened abilities.

"Well... I don't know. It was my first time." he said. It was technically true as he was a virgin in this life.

Amelia stared at him like he was a monster before shaking her head, "Anyways... I asked for a leave today. For all three of us and Brandon agreed as there isn't any case for us to take on at the moment. But that aside... you should probably let her go and put on your clothes."

"Nah, I'll stay this way. After all... this is the first and the last time for me right?"

".... yes." she replied and nodded before leaving the room. Seeing him hugging Clara made her feel both good and bad. It was similar to anxiety. She was happy for the girl who was under confident in herself but there was something that was tugging her the other way.

Once she got out of the room, she smacked her own cheeks and headed over to the kitchen so that she could make the three of them some breakfast. Midway, she stopped and sighed, "That guy eats like a pig. Tch, I'll go buy some groceries first."

Inside the bedroom, Keith gently placed Clara beside him and put on his clothes. Using his libido control, he brought his golden staff to normal non-hard size and felt more comfortable in his pants.

"You're awake aren't you?" he asked as he put on his shirt and when he got no response, he continued, "I just need one word. Keep that in mind and I hope that you're not too late."

Clara still didn't respond, so Keith silently put on his clothes and once he was done, he walked out of the room, only to see a Amelia dressed up in a cute one piece gown that was bright blue in colour.

"I thought you didn't want to let her go?" she asked as she gave him a suspicious look, but he simply shrugged, "I just wanted to tell her something... alone."

"Is that so..." she muttered and nodded, "Alright, just wait here for me and I'll buy some groceries before I make us some food. Oh yeah, there's something I want to talk to you about too. It's about Adam and it's important."

Keith nodded as he walked towards her, "Sure, let me join you though. I feel like Clara need some alone time to think about things."

"Sure." she replied and walked out of the house with Keith right behind her.

The two girls basically lived in one of the church's living quarters but unlike Aria who's room was inside the church, Amelia and Clara's house was outside, but it was extremely close to the church.

Keith and Amelia walked silently for a few hundred meters until Keith took out a self made paper bag filled with pork and beef jerky. As he chewed on it, he glanced at Amelia, "Want some?"

"Nah, I'm good... I don't like jerky too much. Not when I can eat fresh meat in an hour or two."

"Wow, spoken like a true noble." Keith commented and grabbed another strip of jerky before biting it, "By the way, tell me about Adam. There's no reason to wait is there?"

Amelia nodded and took her sweet time to segregate her thoughts, "He's... well, from what I've seen, he has special inclinations. I've never seen someone like him, like ever."

"Can you not talk in riddles please?" Keith said, sounding annoyed. His mind was still stuck on Clara.

"Oh great sir, I humbly ask for your forgiveness!" she shouted before smacking Keith on the back of his head, which he dodged by ducking down slightly.

Seeing this, she clicked her tongue. She then took a deep breath and sighed, "Alright sorry. Bad habits die hard and nobles always talked in circles. Gossips included." she explained before getting to the point.

"What I wanted to say is that Adam likes men. I didn't want you to become his target."

Keith raised his eyebrow and recalled all of his interactions with Adam before dismissing the thought.

"That's... hard to believe."

"He's good at keeping secrets. If I hadn't seen him naked in my brother's bedroom... with his thing inside my brothers.... ugh. You get what I'm saying right? Anyways, I saw it with my own eyes so I want you to be careful.

If possible, move out of your sister's house and live in one of the church's quarters. You'll be given one for free just like how Clara and I got ours."

Keith nodded, but he was busy thinking about Adam.

'If she's write, I must talk to Rebecca. Or should I not? Ugh, I hate family drama...'

The two of them shopped for the required ingredients, but the shopping that only needed a few minutes turned into a three hour shopping spree. This just gave Keith more time to think about things.

'Yeah, it'll be better to talk to Adam about it first. If he ever targeted me, I would have known with my danger sense, which means that he never had any plans to harm me. I think it'll be better to take Amelia with me and confront him in the afternoon. This way, even if my danger sense failed me in the past as sexual interest doesn't really count as danger, I'll have someone to rely on.'
