After leaving Sword and Magic, Leo and Cassandra returned to their home as they were already too tired to continue their day. It would already be dawn after 4-5 hours, and they still haven't been able to take their sleep.
Arriving inside their home, the two hurriedly went to their respective rooms and fell asleep.
Leo only woke up when it was nearly afternoon. There wasn't any problem if he woke up late or not since he had already gone to his classroom for two days this week. However, wasting his time sleeping today was a big problem, since he only has less than one day's worth of time left to complete another mission, as of tomorrow he needs to go to class for two days again before he can go and accept missions to go and earn more points.
Though he shouldn't worried since he was given the priority to accept the missions at Sword and Magic already, still the organization can't just wait for him every time to accept a mission before giving the rest to the others. If they indeed do that, then his cheating would undoubtedly be exposed sooner or later.
Coming downstairs, Leo immediately saw Cassandra doing her exercise in the backyard of their house. She was wearing a tight black outfit which really emphasizes the curves around her body. She was currently doing her curl-ups, which made her body show.
"What if I was above her and...?"
Leo immediately shook his head to remove such perverted thoughts from his mind. He quickly turned his head away before he went to the kitchen to eat his breakfast and lunch at the same time.
After finishing, Leo saw Cassandra walking inside from the backyard. Her body was already covered in sweat, vaguely revealing her upper garments, and also making her body more attractive to his eyes.
Leo shook his head once more before hurriedly running upstairs.
"What's wrong with him..." Cassandra thought to herself before going upstairs too to take her bath.
After arriving in his room, Leo hurriedly went to the bathroom to take a bath. He wanted to get out of this place as soon as possible because his thoughts were unusually wild at this moment.
.....
Leo arrived at Sword and Magic alone. He didn't dare bring Cassandra with him as he used the excuse that he would like to see whether he could complete a solo mission today. But the truth was he really couldn't afford to bring her with him as he might not be able to hold back his wild fantasies. Also, he doesn't know what is happening to him. It might be because he was already starting to be attracted to her, maybe...
All this time, he was just playing with Cassandra since seeing her blush and embarrassed was fun to see. But if it turns out that he was starting to be attracted to her, then...
Leo shook his head to dismiss such a thought and started blaming Cassandra's tight outfit, "Dammit! I should forbid her to wear such an outfit. Ah! Never mind, she might suddenly ask me the reason why and I would be helpless to answer her question!"
Getting inside Sword and Magic, Leo hurriedly went to the study room to look for a mission.
Coincidentally, he meets Alfred and Anna inside, currently accepting a mission from Angel.
Unknowingly though, the two just got more intimate after he was gone within two days. He could already see Anna bluntly hugging Alfred's body while he was talking with Angel.
"What if Cassandra would do the same to me..." Leo suddenly thought in his mind, and he then shook his head to forget about such thoughts, again.
"Yow brother, what's up! Where's your princess Cassandra?" Alfred called out Leo and asked as he didn't see Cassandra being around with him.
"I'm going to complete some missions alone today," Leo said nonchalantly as he walked towards the Mission Book.
"Ohhh~! Seems like a Lover's quarrel? That's okay, brother. Every relationship would arrive at such a point in life. I suggest you lower your pride a bit and..." Alfred wasn't able to finish his advice as Leo's gaze was like shooting a dagger toward him.
Leo immediately handed Angel the mission he already had in mind way back when he accepted the escorting mission.
Looking at the serious Leo, Angel quickly handed him the Official Seal of Acceptance for the mission to avoid possibly getting on his nerves.
After receiving the letter, Leo didn't waste time and left Sword and Magic. He didn't bother staying longer, since he was going to complete the mission that he had chosen on this exact day for him to add more points to his total points for the first week.
At this moment, inside the study room, Alfred was left dumbfounded at Leo's reaction.
All of a sudden, Cassandra followed behind as she slowly walked inside the study room.
"Hey Cassandra, did you and Leo fight?" Anna asked. Now it was Anna's turn to ask since Alfred was a man, so it would be awkward if he showed his nosy character to Cassandra.
"Huh, why would we be fighting?" Cassandra replied, confused at Anna's question.
"We saw him a while ago, and he was obviously out of mood, so we thought that maybe the two of you fought. If you did, then you should both go and fix it quickly. Most relationships nowadays are broken because of that. If I were you, I would be the one making the move since based on how I saw Leo a while ago, the fault seems to maybe lie on you." Anna said while shaking her head.
"Ummm, maybe we did...?" Cassandra could only voice out while feeling more confused.
"Maybe it was at that time when I was finished with my workout..." Cassandra thought to herself. She had noticed before that after she finished her workout, Leo suddenly ran back to his room after seeing her. Maybe it was the reason. But she could also clearly remember that she didn't do anything to cause a fight between the two of them. She only did her workout and nothing more. She didn't even meet him while working out, and she was only standing at the glass sliding door of their backyard when he saw her.
"Sister, you need to fix it quickly!" Anna motioned for Cassandra to come to her side.
Soon, Anna started whispering something to Cassandra's ear, causing the latter to suddenly turn red from embarrassment.
"Trust me, he would forgive you if you did that!" Anna said with a thumbs up and a nod of her head.
Cassandra could only nod her head in response since what Anna had said to her was just too embarrassing. Is he really mad at me? She wanted to ask Leo that question personally so that she could avoid doing such an embarrassing thing.
Unfortunately, Leo was nowhere to be found, so she could only unwillingly do what Anna had suggested her to do.
After giving her an idea, Alfred and Anna both left.
She was left in the study room alone to think whether she should do it or not.
"Ahhh! I'll do it, I'll do it, I'll do it!!" Cassandra suddenly screamed as she walked out of Sword and Magic. She then went to a store to buy something. She wanted to complete some mission today, but Leo was more important to her than any mission no matter how much reward it could give to her.
At this moment, Angel, who was left in the study room alone, could only shake her head.
Angel knew clearly that Leo and Cassandra didn't fight or anything related; it was obvious that it was a misunderstanding caused by Alfred and Anna who immediately jumped to a conclusion.
"I don't know what idea Anna had told Lady Cassandra. But, based on her reaction, I can only pray for the stupid couple who had caused the misunderstanding..." Angel said as she shook her head in pity for Alfred and Anna.
She can't help but imagine what would likely happen to Alfred and Anna the moment Leo realizes that some kind of misunderstanding had happened between him and Cassandra due to the stupid couple suddenly jumping to a conclusion.
Based on the report that she had read about Leo and Cassandra's mission from back in the Sword and Magic branch in Blacksmoke City, he might just turn the stupid couple into pieces, or meat paste.
"Rest in pieces... paste... I mean peace, for the both of you" Angel silently whispered to herself before walking out of the study room.
