"Now Rufus press the button on your watch," I told him to which he soon woke up and pressed the button showing everyone what appeared on all the screens.
A blue holographic screen appeared. There were few options: call, message, camera and showing time in the background.
Rufus tried to touch the screen but his hands passed through the screen.
"Just simply hover your hands over any of those icons and press into them Rufus," I told him to which he nodded.
"Call allows you to call anyone linked to your personal and unique PCD code," I informed Rufus as he pressed the call button.
On his list, only 1 number appeared. "Click on it," I told him.
He nodded and clicked and suddenly my PCD started beeping.
I pressed the button on my PCD for a similar holographic screen to appear in front of me. I clicked the option to accept and moved backwards away from Rufus.
Suddenly my face appeared on his screen just as his face appeared on my screen. "Wow!" Rufus said as he waved through the holographic screen.
I ended the call and urged him to press the next button. "Message lets you type a message to anyone that is on your call list." I said as I typed 'Hello Rufus' on my screen and hit send.
Suddenly his screen was updated with the 'Hello Rufus' message.
"Next is the camera. Click on it, Rufus." Rufus nodded as he clicked.
Suddenly a small hole popped up from his PCD, while his screen started to show what was in front of him.
"Point the PCD towards me and click on the button on your PCD," I told him to which he did.
Suddenly there was a flash before my image appeared on his PCD.
"Camera allows you to take pictures and store it in your PCD. Along with that, it allows you to take videos as well." I explained which fascinated the whole crowd
"All this feature in just a simple wristwatch. All for the price of..." I paused as everyone prayed for it not to be too expensive.
"...50 silver," I stated and soon there was a loud cheering through the entire crowd seeing as the price was still affordable for many middle class. After all to the middle class 50 silvers was like £500.
The whole crowd were ecstatic about it.
The total manufacturing cost in building a PCD including the material only took 25 silver with all the materials which were very easy to procure.
Normally people would have been worried about selling the PCD for such a cheap price. But the real trump card wasn't the PCD but what was going to come after them.
Once the people got comfortable around the PCD I would bring forth the PC into this world, then after that will be the almighty internet.
Once that happens, I will be rolling in money, not that I care about it.
"Rufus as my gift to you for being a great volunteer is you can keep this PCD," I said to the boy who was all too happy to hear the message as the guide from before appeared and took the boy back to his happy parents, as few jealous eyes stared at him.
"The PCD will be available to the public in 1 week. So save up and get ready." I told them as I ended the convention.
As everyone slowly left, I saw a few suspicious groups of people in the crowd I had not expected to.
'Time to test out some things.' I smiled seeing them.
As Archer, Luke and Ellis were busy sorting out certain things I quietly left the area. I have been needing an award user to experiment on for a long time now.
I walked through the busy marketplace. Not many noticed me due to the hood covering my face other than the assassins following me identifying me by my umbrella.
I walked up the stairs to notice one of the assassins in the group was quickly approaching me from behind.
10 meters.
5 meters. I slowed down while still climbing the steps
3 meters. I heard him unsheathed his blade. They were not here to kill me. Killing me was if all else failed. They were here to capture me.
"Don't move…" Before he could finish, I pulled his hands that were slowly moving to my throat forward throwing him off balance as he stumbled forward.
As he stumbled forward I backflipped before resting my legs on his back as he went down.
Everyone froze, including the people in the crowd.
I pulled my right leg of the body of the assassin who was now lying still on the floor. Everyone saw the blood dripping off the blade that came out of my shoes.
I ignored everyone as I stepped forward with my right leg away from the now paralysed and slowly dying assassin. As soon as my leg touched down the blade disappeared into my shoe.
My left leg came off showing a similar blade.
"Come let's dance!" I faced forward with the assassins behind me as I lifted my hands and invited them while I carried on moving forward.
I carried on walking up the stairs, while the crowd split apart for me.
The assassin kept following me. They weren't conquered by fear but rather the emotion of desire overriding their sense of fear.
I started running which caused the assassin to run after me.
Unfortunately, they were assassin trained to kill not trained to capture targets.
Before they could slow down, many of the assassins charging ahead dropped down after their head left their body as soon as they went past the assassin that was already downed.
"Ahhhh!" Someone in the crowd screamed which cause people to set off and start running.
The only clue to how those assassins died is the tiny amount of blood and bit of guts hanging on an extremely thin string.
I tapped my watch and something slammed into my back softly before climbing inside my body.
"Don't keep me waiting," I told the remaining 2 assassins with a smile as I kept climbing the stairs to the residential area.
They moved towards me as I kept running.
Ahead of me, I saw 3 unexpected people. I smiled as I saw them.
"Welp I guess you noticed." I approached Archer, Ellis and Luke.
"But the fun has just begun." I did not stop and ran past them with a smile.
Many assassins came out of all the building surrounding us and Archer removed his gloves in annoyance.
Ellis and Luke unsheathed their sword and held the assassins back as I went ahead.
3 against hundreds of trained assassins. Unlike me who was only ordered to be captured, they could now go all our against the 3 of them.
I looked at my PCD and smiled.
I ran into an alleyway unexpectedly and stood there waiting with my umbrella.
An old man approached from the entrance of the alleyway. "Your highness please surrender." The old man begged.
"I am afraid I can't," I told him with a smile.
"May I ask why? Since you are incapable of both wielding an award and magi." He asked me showing he was aware of the award.
"Oh, so she informed you about award users as well. But I don't think you have an award. At most, you are a rank 5 magi but seeing your look I presume you must be a rank 4 magi. As for why, just because I feel like it." I smiled at him.
��Then you must forgive me for being harsh. She will only let me live by capturing you for her." He came running forward however just as he approached the strings, I set up he jumped over them and gracefully landed before running forward.
"Oh! So, you must be a wind magi then." I smiled at him as his speed increased very quickly while dodging the many strings and approached me slowly.
As he finally stood before me, I smiled. "Forgive me, your highness!" He shouted as he proceeded to grab me by my throat.
However, before he could he stopped and looked down to see the large hole in his heart in shock. "Well it is a good thing that you are a magi, that can't rapidly heal. Even if you could, I designed this specifically to stall award users and for the beings in the grey zone when I was informed to go there." I said with a smile as I caressed the black floating sphere.
I touched his forehead with my umbrella and he fell back.
The black sphere soon dissembled and went inside my shirt.
I tapped my watch. Suddenly all the wires held together by the two small metal on each side of the wall flew towards me after they attached together with the wire.
I held up my arm as the metal pieces attached to the metal plate on my arm and travelled down just above my heart through the magnetic plate I was wearing.
I walked forward and stood in the middle of the alleyway. "Come out sweetheart. I have not got all day for this. I ran away from everyone just to have the dance with you tonight." I said with a smile.
A few seconds later Sophia appeared before me. "Cold day for a dance don't you think?" She asked me with her seductive smile.
"I am afraid not Ms Sophia. The dance with death is appealing to lady death no matter where or how we are." I said as I walked towards her.
"You are certainly impatient to see her," Sophia said as she disappeared.
I move my umbrella backwards just in time to stop her hands from reaching out to me as my umbrella stood on top of her chest. "You have no idea how much I long for death to embrace me, Ms Sophia. I yearn for her cold embrace to wrap me and take me. But unfortunately, I have to extend my appointment to see her due to certain reasons."
"How about I embrace you in my warm chest?" Sophia asked as she moved the umbrella out of the way and walked forward.
"Your power is interesting Ms Sophia. As long as a single part of a being, let it be blood or hair, is taken you can submit them to love you unconditionally. They will follow your orders no matter what out of their love for you." I stated her ability as she walked closer and took a strand of hair from me.
"Unfortunately knowing my ability isn't going to help you." She told me as she held my hair in her hands.
"So long 3rd imperial prince John Emberson." I felt something attacking my mind, but that was it.
"Unfortunately knowing your ability will help me," I told her as I turned around to face her.
"You see the attraction and feeling a desire towards a person is the result of a bunch of chemicals released by our brains along with some hormones," I spoke to her shocked face.
"Luckily, your ability isn't to control those chemicals and hormones but rather to cause them to be released at a very large amount to make someone fall in love with you and make an imprint of your self in their conscious and unconscious mind in order to follow any and all orders of yours.
So, all one has to do to counter your ability is to simply stop the production of those chemicals and hormones for a while." She couldn't believe hearing what I was saying.
"But you are too uneducated to understand what even a chemical is let alone hormones. So, adios." I smiled as metal parts suddenly flew through the air and bashed at the back of Sophia who simply stood there ignoring the metal that bashed against her with a look of surprise.
Metal parts kept coming and bashing against her from random places, but she was just staring at me.
"Ahhhhhh!" She suddenly screamed with a look of ecstasy.
"I have decided. I will make you mine!" She screamed as she began to stretch her hand towards me having just experienced a sexual bliss.
However, as she tried to move, she found she could not move her arms after a certain point. She looked at her arms in panic before looking at my eyes with an extremely growing desire. "Like I said adios Ms Sophia. You will enjoy being my lab rat." I told her before her eyes rolled back and she collapsed as the metal parts enveloped her.
Before it completely enveloped her, I looked at the place where I stabbed her with my umbrella to see an extremely small device blinking red light.
The metal box turned invisible before it floated away as I finished tapping something on my watch with a smile.
"The time for fun and games are running out. The time for my dance is getting close." I spoke to no one and removed the EM field I had activated to stop anyone from trying to spy on me using Magi or any sort of electronic device.
I checked my PCD to see there was still no one around my vicinity.
"Oh well!" I walked towards my restaurant eager to start my experiment.
