Will I not be punished if he finds out that I was wasting his assistant's time?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But you didn't waste my time. I learn many things from you which can also be considered as teaching.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Will I be rewarded for teaching you, then?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh.\" Rudy couldn't help but chuckle after hearing that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Don't laugh! I am curious.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You may be rewarded. Who knows? Is there anything you want from the Lord? I would request him to grant your wishes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Hmm…] Zia took a moment to ponder and responded, [Currently, there is Nothing I want. The Lord already granted my wish by taking care of the warlock. I am happy.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You could ask for unlimited fortune, unimaginable strength, and an infinite power source,\" Rudy suggested a few wishes to Zia, which was also something every living being would ask for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[What would I do with all that? I am a princess, but we are not rich. We have knowledge that we share with everyone. I don't need strength. I am a fairy, and fairies don't require strength. As for the power source, we get that from the Lord anyway.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...you can be selfish and ask for something no one can ever imagine. Maybe I can make the boy you love fall for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Is something like that possible?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[But… will it be real love?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can't guarantee that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Will that person be happy with me?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No comment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Then I don't want something that is fake.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will wait for your wish. Till then, bye.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Bye…]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy placed the orb in his desk drawer and got up from the bed. He grabbed his phone and noticed it had turned off because it was out of charge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Seriously? I might need to change my phone. I charge it three times a day, and I don't even use my phone that much. Did I damage the battery by charging it using my powers?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy charged the phone to full capacity and turned it on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Hmm? Missed calls from Rize?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy called Rize as soon as the phone detected the network.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Umm… Rudy?] Rize answered the call.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, it's me. Did my name not come up in the caller ID? Or is it that you haven't saved my contact on your phone?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The latter one.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'No wonder her sister asked for my name.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So… should I come to pick you up?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Err… Janet actually contacted me before you called me earlier, and I turned her down.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uhh… What happened? You were up for it the other day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Yes, I was. Actually, my little sister, Grace, sometimes crashes at my place… more than once a week. She came yesterday too, but with a fever. Currently, she is fast asleep, but she is still sick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I obviously, couldn't leave her alone in such a condition, so I turned down Janet's invitation. But then you called, and Grace got to know about my plans. Then, she insisted that I should go.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So… you are coming or… no?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[I am. But I will come to the pool house directly and leave as soon as possible.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's okay. If you are worried about your little sister, you can sit this down. You can meet them some other day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[It's fine. She just took her meds before sleeping, so she isn't waking up for an hour or two.] Rize reassured Rudy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alrighty. You can leave for the pool house now. And call me once you reach there. They might not let you enter since you don't have tickets.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[No need to worry. I know the owner.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You… do…?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Reina knows Rize?!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like that, Rudy discovered something surprising.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[See you later.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy placed his phone in his pocket and wondered, \"I don't think I have ever mentioned Reina's name in front of Rize. Nor has she told me anything about Reina. So if they know each other… Does that mean… they are friends?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Man, Rize is going to be surprised when she learns that Reina is also a part of my harem.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, Rudy knew that the harem meetup was going to be more interesting than he had first thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy took out his phone again and messaged Alice instead of calling her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Are you ready?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The message was delivered immediately but wasn't seen for the next three minutes. Once Rudy saw Alice was typing, he teleported near her house and stood by the pole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Give me two minutes. I am preparing my bag.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why bag?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[It's a long story. I will tell you on the way.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Rudy was chatting with Alice, he received a phone call from Janet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah?\" Rudy answered the call.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Nothing. Just calling you to remind you that it's about time.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am faster than you. I am already at Alice's. We will be there in five to ten minutes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Good.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A while ago…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alice was in her room, standing in front of the mirror of the dressing table, applying lipstick. She had also worn a little makeup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Why am I dolling myself up like this?' She wondered. 'It's not my first time meeting the harem. But… I feel anxious about losing to Janet. I know she is all about appearances, so I can't let her beat me on that.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alice released a quiet sigh and muttered, \"I still haven't told dad.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hurried downstairs and went to the living room, hoping to find George there, but he was in his room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'The coffee should be ready.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She grabbed the mug from the kitchen and filled it with freshly brewed coffee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>KNOCK! KNOCK~!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knocked on the door and calmly said, \"Dad! I have brought your coffee.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>====\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A\u002FN- Hiatus Announcement:- I am dealing with a few… actually, many personal life issues, and after thinking about it for a few weeks, I have decided to take a short break from writing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Novel will resume its daily update starting in May, with a mass release of 10 chapters.
