500th Time Reborn, A World Only Known By Women: The Karma System

"How are you feeling?" I asked. "The red is gone from your eyes for now, but I don't know when the Blood Witch will try to take control of you again. I am going to have to put you back to sleep after our talk."

"I understand. I still don't understand how I was being controlled without knowing that it was happening for so long," Morgana said, her beautiful smile slipping, and I squeezed her hand gently.

"Don't think about it. You have no way to stop it. You have been waiting for me to come and get you, and now I am here. I will break this spell, and I will make this person pay for what they have stolen from you. I can't get the time back, but I can help you make new memories that will cover up the other nightmares," I explained, and Morgana smiled again.

"Thank you. I am sure that most people are terrified of me. Even without being controlled, Liches aren't really people that others want to associate with," Morgana said, looking off to the side, but I reached forward with my free hand and caught her chin.

"I am not scared of you, and I want you to stay by my side while I am in this world. Others may look down on you, but I never will, and I will stare down anyone that does," I smiled and then leaned down slowly and kissed Morgana.

Her lips were soft and cold, but she tasted fresh and clean. Morgana returned the kiss and slowly slipped her arms around my neck as I stroked her cheek with my thumb.

I slowly drew in magic as we kissed and prepared the sleep spell. When we broke apart, Morgana's arms fell limply from my neck, and I kissed the sleeping woman's forehead.

Pulling back, I adjusted her arms so she would be comfortable, but it wasn't like she could wake up on her own. The whole house could be blown away, and Morgana wouldn't bat an eye, but this was the only way to keep her safe until I found Lady Katarina.

I prayed and hoped that she was the culprit because I had no other assumptions. Worst case scenario, it is someone that I trust, but I feel like I would know if I had sex with them. Still, I needed to find Lady Katrina, and that would settle my concerns.

I got up from the bed and left the room.

As soon as I got out of the room, a golden portal opened up, and an arm reached out to press on the door. I could feel the magic being used, but before the arm could be retracted, I grabbed the wrist.

"You never answered my question about Claire before. Can I turn her into a Positive Energy Weapon as she is now?" I asked, and Tallia leaned her head out of the portal to glare at me, ripping her wrist from my hand.

"Yes. Now leave me alone. I am trying to do what you already asked!" Tallia growled, and the portal snapped close, and I sighed.

"Well, at least you didn't try to make her mad this time. You are slowly learning how to treat people," Eliza giggled as she came over to stand in front of me, putting her arms up. "Can you carry me? I really like when you do, and you can put me down before we get to the others. I just want to be close to you."

I smiled and scooped her up into my arms in a princess carry. Eliza pressed her face into my chest and made a small satisfied moan as she closed her eyes.

I kissed the top of her head and then pressed my cheek to the top of her head.

"Thank you. I know I am needy, but you are the first person that I have wanted to be like this with," Eliza said as I stood in place.

"I like it. Every one of your girls is slightly different, and that is what makes each of you special. Soon, we will have more time to spend like this being cute and cuddly," I explained as I started to walk back to the front of the house.

"You are really good at spreading yourself around, but I get that you need to do things right now. I am just trying to seek some cuddles when I can," Eliza said as she rubbed her face into my chest.

"Well, I will be home tonight, so you will have me all to yourself," I explained.

"Do you mind if we invite Chilly? She won't come out of her room for anyone right now, but I think she would if it was you," Eliza explained, and I nodded.

"Do you think that I was wrong with how I reacted to Nyala? Should I maybe have dealt with things differently?" I asked curiously.

"That is a hard question. Chilly loves her mom, but her mom has always been a bit cold to her. I think what you did was right, but it is also conflicting with Chili's feelings about her mother. I think that she just wants her mother to be proud of her, but this was like the final nail in that coffin," Eliza explained, and I nodded.

"Maybe I will try to work on that in the future. While I don't really like Nyala, I care about Chili's feelings. I am the one that pounded the nail in, so I will be the one to pull it back out," I said as we reached the front entrance.

"That might be hard, but it is you we are talking about. Even if it's impossible, you seem to have a solution. If anyone can fix things between mother and daughter, it will be you, I think," Eliza said as I set her down, then we kissed one more time.

"I hope you are right. I don't want to have problems with the Cat Folk in the future. I will do my best, but now I need to go and heal the women from the wall," I said with a smile, and Eliza nodded as Trina came out from the kitchen carrying a plate with another sandwich.
