Chương 392: Chapter 365. Sarah's And Anna's Support To The Alliance

Sarah Ericsson's Point Of View" Well, I didn't mean to embarrass you, Little Alice. Besides, we're all here in hopes to Marry him in the future, you'll need to get used to physical contact with him as your Husband, you know?"" That's not the point, Mary! If we're spotted by people who don't know, he'd be looked at as a cheater and I'd be looked at as a homewrecker!"" But Polygamy is okay in Diablos, isn't it? Wouldn't they just assume that the both of you were in the Courting Process?

Honestly, all of these rules make this situation so difficult. Also, it doesn't help that our Little Lord is so straightlaced... Though I suppose that makes the reward all the better?"" This and that are separate issues... Gods..." Once both Mary and Alle had finished their little back and forth, they both sipped on their tea. Alle did it to calm down and Mary did it to calm her frustration as the intricacies of this new culture she's in.

It's the day after John had finished taking each of the Royal Families around Paradise. With that, the current Members of the Alliance that's available have met up for a meeting. My Mother, along with Charlotte's and Alle's Mothers also wanted to join us, but they have to plan for the Summit in a few days. From the reports that the girls have given at each meeting, it's safe to say that John had gotten closer to each, but platonically.

While this can help build a solid foundation moving forward, Anna and I know for a fact that he only views it as him being "friendly" to Alle and Charlotte, while with Cyn, he's treating her like a little sister. I feel as if the fact that they're all Princesses are what's harming their chances currently. Since so far, Anna and I can see that Emily and Ruby are slowing solidifying their presence in his heart.

He's begun trusting Emily and Ruby with more and more information, something he's only done with Anna and me. Sure, he still holds back his more honest opinions about certain things, but they're the first people he's really opened up to since we were training for the Hero's Party." However, you were able to hold onto his hand for quite some time, right, Alle?"" Yeah..."" Well, he didn't shake you off or anything, did he?

That's good in a way, it means he doesn't dislike your touch, you should take advantage of that. Whenever I tried to touch him, he'd find a way to dodge it, like we were sparring or something..."" Cyn..." Cyn tried to lift Alle's spirits, its true as well. John's always been very untrusting when it comes to other people, the fact that he's allowed Alle to touch him is a big deal. When it comes to Cyn however, it's more to do with the fact that he views her as his Sister-In-Law.

Because of that, he accidently stops any attempt Cyn makes to get more intimate with him. And then..." Well... How nice... Holding hands..." Charlotte's regretful voice rang out to the rest of the table. While Alle and Cyn were fretting over physical touch, Charlotte was depressed for a different reason." To think... I had to gather the Soldiers for an emergency drill... If only Mother had let me know ahead of time..." Unfortunately, Charlotte had to work on the day assigned to the Nyx Family day trip.

Because of that, she's been quite sad. From what I understand though, John had made a very positive impression with the more personal tour of the city. Having a good impression with her parents could still be seen as a win in her book. I mean, he's told me himself that aside from the fact that they're both a King and a Queen, he really doesn't have too much of an opinion of Uncle Alan and Aunt Aria.

Meanwhile, he reiterated some of the funnier moments that had happened while walking King Leonard and Queen Crystal around the city, this includes King Leonard burning his tongue on some melted cheese. While he still feels that barrier of them being Royalty, Queen Crystal has said that she's been doing her damnedest to have them breakthrough it to help Charlotte's chances with him. I'd say they're moving in the right direction. Charlotte is as well.

Her place in our lives has gotten to the point where John waits for her to arrive at the mansion before we have dinner every night. There's progress for everyone, it's just that everyone is so close and watching over every minute detail that they fail to see just how close they've all gotten to him. Anna and I are the only ones to see it. Stolen content alert: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences." Cyn, Alle, Char. You're all being far too negative in the moment.

Take a moment to think about what you've been able to do, would you?"" What we've been able to do?" Anna called out to the table. I was wondering when she'd decide to speak her mind to them. With Cyn's repeating of her words, Anna took that as the time to explain to them their good fortunes." You all have been able to create time with him, whether you know it or not. Either through the time with your parents or with us.

I understand that it'd all be much simpler if you'd be able to have more 1 on 1 time with him, but it's hard to fit something like that into his schedule. Cynthia, he trusts you just as much as he trusts King Warrick and Queen Aqua. He's being phased by your attempts at physical contact because innately, he knows that you're both not related by blood, ergo, in his mind "a mistake could happen." You need to slowly break down that wall while still reminding him that you're a woman."" How do I do that though, Anna?"

Anna leaned back into her chair as she thought for a moment." I have no idea, Cyn. For me, I was lucky, he fell for me without my trying to do anything... In fact, I tried to hide my feelings for him. I used to think that was the end of the story for me, but now I'm beginning to think differently, I think that my attempts to "hide" it, helped me. I think by trying to only preform my Duties as a Personal Maid made him begin to value me as a "unique exitance" in his life. You need to aim for that.

I would suggest that you need to show more of your womanly charm to him."" Womanly charm?"" Yes, what that is can only be found by yourself, Cyn. Or, if you're lucky, he'll point it out for you. He always tells me how much he loves my eyes for instance." Cyn began to sit back and think hard, Anna quickly turned to Alle and began to speak." As for you, Alle. You shouldn't be fretting too much about what happened."" But-"" She's right, Alle.

You were able to hold his hand for quite some time without him trying to separate from you. You've moved ahead of both Char and Cyn in 1 fell swoop. I believe it's because he sensed no ulterior motive within the action. You need to continue using methods like that, tear down his sense of normalcy and then strike when he least expects it." I quickly backed Anna's words, since she was right. With that, I quickly turned to Charlotte who still couldn't break out of her sadness." As for you, Charlotte...

Yes, yesterday was a major disaster for you, however... He's bonded more with your parents. He's still to meet Ruby's parents and he's yet to really form an opinion on Alle's parents. You can bond with him over personal stories about your parents that you think he'd enjoy. But more than that, I want you to answer a question for me."" A question?" Charlotte broke out of her funk at my inquiry." Yes, a question. Who do you think is currently in the lead excluding Anna and me?"

Charlotte thought for a moment, then she found her answer." Emily."" What?" Emily was surprised, just more proof that they're all far too close to him to see." You'd be correct, Emily is the closest, by a very thin, but hard to cross margin. Do you know what it is?" Charlotte shook her head at my question." Trust. Trust built on Consistency and Faith. Emily has been with him consistently for over a year now. Ruby as well as crossed this line with him, only she needed time through their training sessions to do it."

Charlotte was still lost at what I meant. Well, I guess it would be easier to just spell it out to them all." You've also begun to cross that line, Charlotte. Haven't you noticed that we wait for you to arrive before having dinner every day? Do you think that's a coincidence? It's because he expects you to be there, every day, because you've been there every day."" Bu-"" Now, now, don't get excited. Yes, him having a place for you in his life doesn't mean that he's Fallen In Love with you.

In the same way that Cyn needs to use her charms on him, so do you." I pointed at Charlotte to really illustrate that this is her job when it comes to making John fall for her." You need to make his heart skip a beat. It's a hard feat to manage. Even sitting in 1st place, Emily is struggling and experimenting to make it happen." Charlotte looked at a now embarrassed Emily as I stated a fact about her." Emily... What could you be-"" Oh! So that's why you've been leaning closer to him recently."" Ruby!"

Emily was slightly embarrassed by Ruby's explanation, but it seemed to do the job. Charlotte began to have some light in her eyes again. I took this moment to reignite some drive into the girls here at the table." It'll always come down to this simple thing, you need to make him fall for you! Make his heart skip a beat! Make him think that it was a sign! Drive him wild! Anna and I will be able to back you up from there! We'll get him to accept a trial run of Seriously Dating you with the intention of Marriage!

And then we'll be off to the races!" All of the girls began to nod their heads. It seems like my little speech had an effect..." Hm... I suppose I should try my best as well? In fact, why don't I try tonight! I had Tabitha make me that dress after all... It should show off my curves in a way that a male should like!" It seems that Mary had gained some ideas through my speech... Well... If it actually works... More power to her, I guess?

The Alliance Meeting ended not long after that, since all of the girls decided to do some thinking after it. Now all we need to do is make sure that the Summit goes smoothly. We'll be able to gather all of the Alliance here in Paradise and begin to make its Members' Goals of Marrying John a reality. Anna and I took a moment to pray to the Gods that everything could continue to run relatively smoothly.
