"Is that so?" Elke asked in anticipation for Lothur since students in Sector-3 were usually people between the 4th and 5th Transformation.
In this case, for Lothur to be so relaxed about facing someone like that could only mean that he was already almost as strong as that. However, Elke had a hard time believing such a thing since, usually, people in Sector-1 were not that powerful.
Lothur saw the door to Elke's room and smiled at her, showing his reassurance about the whole thing. "Trust me, even when it seems unreasonable, if you trust me, I guarantee we will have great results together."
After hearing that and closing the door to that room, Elke stood watching Lothur for a moment, thinking about what he had just said.
'Maybe I should tell him about my family's plans? I know that's probably still a secret known to few, but I think I should say it...'
'If I want to be with him, I must take a chance and trust him.' She watched him intently as he slowly removed his outermost clothes, looking at her with eyes full of desire.
Gulp!
'He's the one I want to be with, not those idiots!' So she convinced herself, also starting to take off parts of her clothes, feeling that ignoring her rational side would be best in this situation.
"Lothur, I want to talk to you about a problem~"
Elke finally said something as he was already hugging her, making his movements that little by little made her breathe faster and faster.
Lothur then continued kissing her neck, looking at her as if he were a predator watching the prey he wanted to eat. "Hmm? What is it?"
"Lothur, my family is already planning to marry me to some influential organization in the province..." She looked into his eyes and felt her companion's lips parting from her neck.
Sensing this, she became nervous and promptly explained herself. "But that's not me who wants it!"
"My parents are behind all this, acting in the family interest."
"Oh? And what do you want?" Lothur rose from his position, looking up into Elke's eyes.
He naturally was not surprised that a noble family wanted to marry off the patriarch's daughter to another power. After all, this was a local custom that even his predecessor was aware of.
Marriages of this kind were the most common way for powerful families to enter into alliances with other powers, creating bonds that were difficult to break.
There were cases of betrayal, one power trying to take over the other, and not every family being united enough to face particular challenges. For example, it was not so rare to hear stories of children killing parents or parents killing children for their own good.
But cases like that were the minority, and most of the time, most people would try not to eliminate their offspring. That went beyond reason, being a basic survival instinct that almost every human in this world had.
Because of this, alliances of this kind usually had relatively attractive success rates. In this way, political marriages were widespread, and even children in this world knew about the way powerful families acted in this regard.

In possession of such knowledge, Lothur had not found it strange that Elke's parents did not care about her opinion and were already preparing an arranged marriage for her.
It was already expected that something like this would happen. But all he cared about was her opinion.
Unlike Elke, Lothur still had no romantic feelings for her. And even if he had an interest in her and was open to the possibilities of a more long-term relationship, this could change a lot depending on what she had in mind.
So, he was not worried about her family.
She saw the seriousness in her companion's eyes and answered with sincerity. "Lothur, if it were up to me, I would rather be free to be with you, but that is not up to me..."
"Is that so?"
"Of course! I have no interest in those people selected by my family, nor in the alliance, my parents want to forge!"
"By the way, it's a good thing you crippled that fellow. Otherwise, we'd have even less time."
Seeing the look of doubt on Lothur's face, she explained. "Alric was my family's favorite candidate."
"I see..." His eyes opened wider as he understood such a thing. 'It was not for nothing that he was so abusive in speaking of Elke as if she were already his wife...'
'Hehe, what an idiot!'
'If he had kept his mouth shut, maybe he would have had a chance to get in the way of my affairs with her with a more sudden marriage...' He was thinking about this when he suddenly realized something.
"Elke, isn't Alric younger than you? How would you two get married when he is not even an adult yet?"
"Hmm? Our marriage would naturally be scheduled for when he comes of age." She stated the obvious.
"What are the ages of your other candidates?"
"About the same as Alric's." She replied without understanding what Lothur wanted.
"Good, there is enough time." He smiled and returned his advances against the beauty in front of him, eager to take his current relationship with Elke to a new level.
"If you truly want that, then I'll make it happen..." He slowly removed the last remaining piece of clothing over Elke's bra. "But now, let me take care of you."
Gulp!
"Lothur~" She closed her eyes and felt something warm, wet, and soft touching a sensitive part of her body.

After they finished dressing, Lothur had a satisfied smile on his face, feeling that it would not take long to solve the problem of his body.
As for Elke, her face was flushed in disbelief at how she had let Lothur leave her almost naked and do so many strange things to her upper body.
But what had embarrassed her the most was how much she had enjoyed the whole thing, the feeling that had almost made her ask for something with no return, and how she had screamed in a vulgar way...
Luckily, her rational side had worked in time. However, she honestly did not know if she could resist her feelings for long. And as such, she was looking at Lothur with shame and a little fear.
"Elke, I want to see if that item I told you about has been sold. Do you want to come with me?" He asked as he saw that his companion had already finished dressing.
Lothur knew that the poison of the Giant Tropical Spider was valuable to people at the early cultivation levels. And since there were practically only such individuals in Sector-1, he was confident it would be sold quickly.
Consequently, he was already interested in going to that location, even considering that only a few hours had passed since his time there.
"Well, I still have a few minutes, so I don't see a problem with doing that..." She said in a low voice.
"Great!"
...
After a few minutes of walking, the two arrived at the same place where Lothur had left the remnants of the Giant Tropical Spider he had collected.
At that place, Lothur wasted no time and immediately looked for the person he had spoken to earlier in search of the information about the sale of what he had left there.
And just now, that individual finished looking at the system in that collective trading room to inform the youth in front of him. "I'm sorry, your item has not been sold yet."
"What? Not yet?" Lothur said in surprise, finding this strange.
While he and Elke had waited for that person to search this place's system, he had looked at the shelves in the surrounding area. But he saw nothing like those parts he had left earlier.
That had reinforced his idea that such a thing had already been sold, adding to this young man's negative surprise at this point.
"I'm sorry, but that's what's in the system." That person made a sincere expression, lamenting the fact.
"If that hasn't been sold yet, where is my item? Why haven't I seen it anywhere around here?"
That man dressed in the uniform of this place then looked at the information in the system, silent for a few seconds. He then replied. "Your item is on our shelves." He pointed to a particular place. "It's more or less in that place."
Hearing this, Lothur looked at the place pointed out and saw the far corner of that shelf, where the meeting of two walls was.
He then took Elke's hand and went in that direction since he still was not seeing anything.
