Vile Evil Hides Under The Veil

1904  Unfair Advantage*

Eren and Nina talked for hours on end, discussing various events related to Anfang. Nina gave Eren detailed updates about the members of the White Raven Guild and their activities.

As their discussion about the post-Great Shattering era wound down, their conversation became more casual.

"I can't believe I'm here. With you. What… what if it's all just a dream?" Nina asked, gazing at her reflection in the lake. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Keke. I mean, it IS a dream if you think about it. But it's also real. At least as real as reality is to us," Eren replied, sitting down beside her.

Eren waved his hand, and the scene changed. The cloud-like reality blurred before solidifying into a new version of the Dreamscape. This time, they were seated at the edge of a large bed, in front of a large mirror, surrounded by plush velvet cushions and a golden frame, as if in a dressing room without doors or windows—just the two of them.

Nina smiled at Eren as he sat next to her. She felt happy knowing she was the first woman from Anfang he thought of when using the Empusa Creation Manual. She knew how much he needed someone like her, especially during these difficult times.

"How's life in Labh Salem? Are you enjoying yourself so far?" Nina asked, leaning back against the cushion behind her.

"Of course," Eren replied, looking at Nina intently. "There's a different kind of fun and thrill when you're targeted by loads of people."

Nina was about to say something, but Eren shook his head and smiled.

"But I'm not here to complain, my dear. I'm here to be with you. This is exactly what I need right now. A little break from everything else going on outside this place. And having someone like you here makes it even better," Eren said, smiling back at her.

He reached out and gently stroked her arm, sending shivers down her spine.

'This… this is indeed as good as reality,' Nina thought to herself.

Eren's gentle touch on Nina's arm sent a wave of warmth through her, making her heartbeat quicken. She turned to him, her eyes reflecting the soft light of the Dreamscape. "Eren," she whispered, her voice tinged with a mix of longing and disbelief, "it feels so real."

Eren leaned closer, his emerald green eyes locking onto hers. "Why do you care if it's real anyway? So what if it's a dream? It's our dream," he murmured, his voice low and soothing.

Nina felt a blush rise to her cheeks as she felt the intensity of his gaze. She reached out and cupped his face with her hands, her fingers tracing the contours of his jawline. "I've missed you so much," she said softly, her eyes filling with emotion.

Eren's hand moved to her cheek, his thumb gently brushing her skin. "I've missed you too, Nina," he replied, smiling lightly. "Every single day."

Nina leaned into his touch, feeling a deep connection that transcended the boundaries of their physical realities. She closed her eyes for a moment, savoring the closeness they shared. When she opened them again, she found Eren leaning even closer, their faces mere inches apart.

Eren's breath mingled with hers as he whispered, "Did… did I congratulate you for becoming a Grandmaster? Let… let me do that right now."

Nina felt her heart swell at his words. She closed the gap between them, pressing her lips to his in a tender, lingering kiss. It was a kiss filled with all the unspoken words.

"Hmmm!"

Eren responded with equal passion, his arms wrapping around her waist and pulling her closer. The kiss deepened, their tongues dancing together in a rhythm that spoke of their familiarity and desire.

Nina felt a surge of heat as Eren's hands roamed her back, caressing her with a tenderness that made her shiver.

"Keke. This… this was long overdue," Eren said finally.

They broke the kiss only to catch their breath, their foreheads resting against each other.

Eren's hands moved to her hair, tangling in her silky strands as he looked into her violet eyes. "There's nobody who can take your place," he said, his voice barely above a whisper.

Nina's eyes glistened with a peculiar shine. "And you're everything to me, Eren," she replied, her voice equally soft. "I wish I could come to you right now."

Eren smiled, his expression filled with a mix of care and determination. "We will be. Eventually," he promised. "Until then, we have Dreamscape."

Nina felt her heart at ease after hearing his words. She leaned in for another kiss, this one more urgent and filled with a hunger that mirrored her desire. Eren's hands slid down her back, pulling her even closer as the kiss intensified.

Their surroundings seemed to fade away as they lost themselves in each other.

The Dreamscape responded to their emotions, the scene around them shifting to a more intimate setting. They found themselves in a cozy, warmly lit room with a large, plush bed at the center. The air was filled with the scent of roses and a hint of sandalwood, creating an atmosphere of intimacy.

Eren gently guided Nina to the bed, their lips never parting. As they lay down together, the world outside ceased to exist, leaving only the two of them in their private haven. Eren's hands explored Nina's body with reverence, tracing every curve and contour. Nina responded in kind, her hands roaming over his muscular frame, memorizing the feel of him beneath her fingertips.

"Let… let me show you how much I missed you," Eren whispered into her ear. He began to kiss Nina's neck, nibbling on her earlobes and inhaling her sweet scent.

"Oh, dear, that feels so good," Nina moaned, her voice husky with desire. The clothes she wore were dissolved into nothingness just with mere thoughts alone.

'He… he has an unfair advantage in this world,' Nina thought to herself and smiled mirthlessly. She wanted Eren to strip her off her clothes layer by layer, making them feel more organic for her. But it seemed Eren was in a hurry.

'I guess he is not getting regular action anymore. Hehe, good. Let him suffer a little like me. No. Like many of his women, he has left behind in Anfang.'

The Grandmaster healer thought to herself as she welcomed Eren's advances on her.
