Tonight Reisa come to Lunar hotel, she speciality dressed in black for today. The black dress adorned in lace make her look elegant and her red hair look like fiery rose.
"May I help you Miss?"
Reisa handed out the black card Lucas gave her. There is surprised look in attendant eyes. she hurriedly called the manager and lead Reisa to the VVIP suite.
"You look stunning."
"Thank you. I will keep working hard to get your love Your Highness."
Lucas almost spurted his tea. It just three month, how did this shy girl become more shameless.
"Woah, slow down Miss. You make me flustered!"
"I am honored."
"..."
Lucas coughed, it not like he didn't know where she learn it. sometime he connected to Yuki and saw how Shasha and Reisa know each other, especially their girls talk that kinda disturb him.
"How could I make someone who almost have everything to love me?"
"By everything you mean?"
"Money, power and ... woman."
"Sis, why did you interested in a playboy? you're better with a gantleman, just leave him."
"Well, there is a circumtance...and I already like him."
"Okey then! leave it to this pro love simulator gamer mind!" and so a barrage of unusual love advice come flying from Shasha mouth. Off course that come out from her gamer experience, something like.
"A man like him must be used by woman laying down, so you must stand high and mighty! give him challenge so he would paid more attention to you! don't cower and make a move first so you would gain momentum! and more point by looking intelegent!"
Lucas messages his temple, well it true that this woman become more stunning as she get her confidence but a timid woman also has her charm. she should have said
"Arouse the man desire to protect by looking like a weak woman!"
Well, protecting once or twice is good but weak woman is too much burden if she keep crying. Still being moderate is the best.
"Um... Er... Prince--"
"Yes?" Lucas answered with smile.
'Dis she realize what she said make thing become awkward? look like his real nature is still there.'
"About the deal, I am accepting it."
"You know, Miss Reisa-- for the you right now. It look like you could do anything without man help. Should you tied yourself with someone like me?"
"That is for me to decide, and I have decided to save you."
"For someone like me?"
Actually Lucas know since he read her memory when they date. That why he didn't understand since the 'me' in her dream didn't treat her well.
"That because it is you."
"You will regret it later."
"Maybe."
She didn't deny it, it just she need a reason for her rebirth and there is one regret holding her back or else she would feel lost.
The silence prevail, until Reisa realize something missing.
"Don't we sign a Contract?"
Lucas laughed. "What to sign? it just matter of feeling. If you could make me love you Its your win, if not either we divorce or stay as it is. don't worry I won't treat you badly. or you're worried if you didnt get anything?"
Before Reisa could deny it, Lucas handed out a bucked of certificate in front of her.
"All of this already in your name, and it only need your personal sign."
"What?!"
Lucas let out a small laugh because her surprised expression is funny.
"Even if you're not merried to me, I will give these to you."
"Why?" ask her in weak voice. the certificate in from of her include a major bussiness in capital, also some land that worth a couple of city.
"Just because."
"Just because?"
"It not worth that much for me, and I am too busy to care for these. You can gave this to your family or you can manage this yourself.
maybe you could give me good impression if you manage well."
'Off course the profit should go to your hand.'
There is thing that make Lucas feel guilty when he know her 'past', the 'him' in her past is still him. He didn't deny it, it just the version of himself if he didn't remember his past, there is many instance he fall into despair or looking for something that make 'them' feel worth living, and 'we' keep repating the same mistake every time.*
'How foolish I am'
...
Their meeting didn't last long, it just when she leave the room she saw Ash coming from inside the suite, clearing the room and talk comfortably with Lucas.
She froze but the attendance already close the door, that scene make her frown, and just when she almost reach the door handle the attendance stop her. When she look closely, The attendance eyes look blank and sinister, she instinctly stepped back.
"Sorry Miss, the visiting hour is over. Our Lord is resting."
It would be rude for commoner to stop a Noble or say something like that, but somehow Reisa didn't want to refute.
"This way, please."
So Reisa just followed the attendance and go back. When Reisa come to her sense, she realize that she also brought the certificate Lucas gave her.
She have headache. She couldn't give back this easily since it already handed out to her especially it already legalized with magic Contract, the kind of Contract where the one hended them didnt have anything to do with the thing stated in Contract once signed, and it just need her sign to make it 'her' or it would become owenerless goods, also she don't think he would take it back.
...
In Lucas's suite, He look at Ash who recently become more comfortable with him
"She saw you."
"So what?"
Lucas look at Ash's face who didn't understand the reason why he ask him not to shown his face all this time.
"She can recognize you, a demon."
Ash's expression deepened. There is glimpse light in his eyes.
"Don't think about it, I am protecting her for now."
The underliying meaning is even if Ash tried to harm or kill her he would fail, but the other meaning is 'for now' so he just need to be patient.
...
*: the first prince, you would realize that he often use many different prespective to call himself. Here one warning, he have multiple personality disorder since he remember his 'other' previous life.
