Chapter 51 Marry?

Adam was silent, and he felt his heart thump. There was no need for excuses or anything, for Sierra's tone indicated that there was no room for any objection.
"Ah, don't get me wrong. Not that I'm angry, since you didn't hurt her, but... I'm very curious about your way." Sierra smiled and put her hand on Elyra's shoulder, who looked like she was in prostration. "To be honest, your choices for Elyra were both good and bad. She is a very naive nymph and kind. Her main problem is her inability to lie. So I didn't have to use any spells to get the information I wanted from her."
"However, you decided to use the quicker method of simply charming her or bewitching her, that much I don't know. But at the moment she's in love with you. And that's a big problem." Sierra laughed and smiled. "Just so you understand... nymphs only fall in love once. As long as the man they fell in love with is alive - they will love him. No, it is more correct to say that they will love him even after that man is dead."
"I have seen many creatures in my six thousand years of life. There have been people far worse than you. Do you know how many nymphs have self-destructed because they could not love, even if they were deceived? More than five thousand." Sierra smiled sweetly, but her eyes were cold. "If you're willing to take responsibility for her and make her your wife, no matter which wife she turns out to be, then I'm willing to forgive your blunder."
Adam had been silent for a long time. His heart was full of mixed emotions. Not that he felt guilty about his actions, but not to say that he was at all indifferent.
His head worked quickly, and he pondered his answer. Sierra didn't rush him and only smiled. The carefree smile was full of tenderness and childishness, but Adam dared not fall for it.
"I agree, but..." Suddenly Adam said and looked into Sierra's eyes. "I need the magic stones. If you can provide them to me, I will be willing to take her as my wife."
Adam looked determinedly at Sierra, who raised an eyebrow and her expression looked comical. She suddenly laughed and smiled at Adam, "What makes you think you can set me conditions? To your knowledge, you're already a lucky guy to still be alive. I'm restraining myself from killing you for playing with my heiress' feelings.
"Why should I take responsibility for every girl? I am a demon, not a saint. To me, sex is just entertainment and I give my partner pleasure. Then in your opinion, I should make all my bed partners my wives?" Adam shook his head and sighed. "You'd better kill me. For agreeing to terms that are disadvantageous to me is nonsense."
After Adam's words, a screen of text appeared in front of him:
[Do you want to begin the process of self-destruction of the soul?]
[Yes] | [No]
Adam discovered this feature only recently. It seemed that he could avoid having his enemy imprison his soul and torment him for thousands of years. It seemed that Adam was determined to kill himself rather than surrender to the enemy.
Sierra frowned and sensed that Adam's words were not empty. It would have been easy for her to control his mind and make him do what she wanted, but Sierra felt a powerful aura on Adam's body.
"The Black Lady's mark... that half-elf from Elfheim made him her servant?" Sierra felt annoyed and cried out loudly. "Shit, all right! If it wasn't for that stupid woman, you'd be dead by now, okay? I was just pretending to be cool!"
Sierra pouted and waved her hand. Immediately ten "F" rank magic stones fell into Adam's hands. He smiled and put them in his inventory. Sierra turned to Adam and raised an eyebrow, "Seriously, have you hidden them yet? Greedy boy. Never mind, though. I just hope you can take care of Elyra.
"And as for my request... hehe." Sierra smiled and poked in Adam's direction. "Since you're so talented, leave some children behind. If you can give Silvana a hundred new nymphs, I will personally give you a hundred magical stones of the Supreme Path level. I promise on behalf of the Nymph Queen."
Adam rolled his eyes and sighed. It seemed as if this Nymph Queen had set an impossible goal for him on purpose. A hundred children? Adam hadn't even counted on two, for nymphs' fertility rate was extremely low.
"I'll do my best." Adam nodded.
"Ah, yes. You'll stay with Elyra for a month, and you'll try to do my assignment while you're at it." Sierra smiled and waved her hand.
Elyra began to come to her senses and a light appeared in her azure eyes as she came to her senses with each passing second. Then, Elyra blinked and cried out: "Eh? Where is that me?".
"Good morning." Sierra grinned and stroked Elyra's head. "I have a gift for you. Look!"
Sierra pointed at Adam and laughed. Elyra followed her finger and cried out sweetly when she saw Adam. A mixture of emotions appeared on her face: shock, embarrassment, happiness, and falling in love. Her cheeks grew ruddy, and Elyra herself began to jerk her hips.
Her hands gripped tightly at the hem of her dress and she lowered her eyes, looking embarrassed and pleased. Adam didn't know how to react to this and looked toward Sierra and saw that she had disappeared.
"..." Adam sighed and shook his head.
He slowly approached Elyra and stood in front of her. The distance between them was a few centimeters, but neither of them moved. Adam stared at her for a long time, and after a few minutes, reached out and embraced Elyra.
"As you can see, we met a lot sooner than we thought." Adam smiled and stroked her hair, then marveled at his discovery. "Have they grown out? I didn't have time to notice because of Her Majesty's presence. Long hair suits you very well."
"Um..." Elyra blushed and hid her face in Adam's chest, then murmured in a mosquito voice. "I learned from an old nymph that most men like long-haired women..."
"Well, I'm not sure about 'most,' but for me, the length of my hair doesn't matter." Adam stroked her head and kissed the top of her head, making Elyra blush thicker. "However, if you're comfortable with that, you can leave your hair long. You're beautiful either way."
"Ummm! I think it's better to keep my hair long. My friends complimented my looks!" Elyra looked up and smiled, telling Adam about the many compliments her friends had paid her.
Adam smiled and listened intently, stroking her hair. He felt calm and smiled softly.
"Indeed. Anyway, you're very pretty no matter how long your hair is." Adam nodded, then got serious. "There's something we need to discuss. Is there a suitable place?"
