For the following minutes, I sat close to Elena, however, I made sure to keep a reasonable distance. I didn't want her to think that I was some kind of pervert. I just wanted her to slowly trust me.
"I know you might have heard rumors about me. About how I'm a playboy and don't take anything seriously, but I swear that those are only rumors. I've never done anything like it and I'll take my role very seriously."
Elena only nodded carelessly.
"You trust me, right?" I asked as I grabbed her chin and turned it for her to face me. I wanted her to hold eye-contact with me.
She gulped as even I could hear it going down her throat.
However, she didn't shout or call for help. After all, at any given time, she could have done so. There were multiple royal guards all around the carousel outside. With one command, I could get basically killed on the spot. But it seemed that I had made the right decision as she stayed silent, her cheeks flushing once more.
"I-I… trust you."
It was obvious that she had a crush for me and I was using that to my advantage without the slightest mercy. However, it was only the start of it, especially with the notification from the system which appeared before me.
[Elena's Loyalty has increased: 49 -> 51.]
She had finally crossed the threshold, which meant that I could try to use Hypnosis on her. Obviously, there was still Aria inside of the carousel with us, which is why I decided to Hypnotize the two of them to see if it would work.
'Aria, hypnotize. Elena, hypnotize.'
I called out both of their names inside of my mind as both of their gaze suddenly became empty almost doll-like, which meant that the hypnosis had worked.
I smirked to myself as I could now control two women in whatever way I wished for.
I was lucky that the Hypnosis on Elena had worked since her Hypnosis Resistance was so low. However, now that she was hypnotized, it meant that I could ask her almost anything and she would do it.
This time, I decided to have a bit more fun with my skill. I had restrained myself with Aria, but I wanted to see the effects of Hypnosis and it would impact the person once the skill would be gone. I wanted to see if they sense a difference internally, for example… if Elena and I kissed.
Would she feel closer to me as a result?
I wanted to try some things since the Royal Kingdom was still quite far away.
I closed the carousel's curtains to give us some privacy and immediately one of the Royal Guards asked what was happening inside it with quite the aggressive tone.
"Princess, are you fine?" The man immediately asked as he had noticed how much closer we had gotten in quite a short time.
I leaned closer to Elena and whispered to her ear, "Tell her that you're fine and that the sun is too hot."
Elena repeated the sentence in her tone of voice, acting perfectly.
"Alright then, don't hesitate to ask us for help," the guard replied as he didn't sense the slightest distress in her voice.
I smirked because of how docile she was and I decided to try some things out since it was as good as a time as any.
I continued to whisper in her ear. "Come sit closer to me."
She moved closer to me as a blush found its way on her face even while hypnotized. Our thighs now touched, but it wasn't enough. I wanted to see just how far I could get this going.
"Sit on my lap," I whispered in her ear as Elena immediately stood up and wrapped her legs around my waist and looked directly into my eyes.
I could feel her body's heat against mine and the tension between the two of us was definitely rising even if she was under the Hypnosis Skill. I could see in her eyes how flustered she was. It was clear that because she was only at 51 of Loyalty, the Hypnosis Skill was only influencing her mind greatly. She could still had a volition of her own, which meant that deep down she had also wanted this.
I didn't shy away from touching her ass as I wrapped my hands around her thighs and grabbed her ass all of a sudden, making her jump slightly over my lap.
I could feel my cock becoming harder as the seconds passed and pocking against the lower part of her body.
Aria who was on the other side looked at this without much thought since she was still under the control of the Hypnosis.
'Let's see what happens if I wake up her up after telling her to get off. Would she feel any different?' I thought in the back of my mind as I quickly told Aria to move from my lap and sat next to me.
I removed the Hypnosis from both of them as they both their forehead for a quick moment.

[Elena's POV]
I'm not sure why… but ever since a few minutes. Every time I look in Jake's direction I can feel my heart racing as if I want more from him.
I-It's so strange, yet, I can feel my body wanting more from him.
But I can't do that. I'm a princess, this marriage was only a ploy by my father. I'm not supposed to fall in love with him.
No, I can't fall in love with him.
I need to resist him.
But why does it feel so hard every time I can feel his eyes look at my body?
I bit my lower lip as a strange itchy feeling began coming from between my legs.
It almost felt like I was about to pee.
Suddenly, I felt a muscular arm wrapped around my neck, pulling me closer.
It was Jake's and for some reason, I really didn't want to push him away. I wanted to snuggle my way closer to him.
Ahh… why does it feel like I'm falling in love with him!
