Without realizing it, Axel walked forward toward the girl slowly. It seemed that the girl was so drunk that she didn't care about the world around her. The girl didn't even notice his presence even though Axel had taken the empty spot beside her.
Axel stared at the girl's troubled expression without ever shifting his eye even of a second and realized that the girl had sighed repeatedly. There was no smile or joy in the girl's facial. On the other hand, this girl looked sad, disappointed and also… lost.
Axel wondered if this girl would smile at him? What does this girl smile like? It must look beautiful.
Axelard also wondered what her voice was like when she spoke? What does her laugh sound like when joking around with him? What did this girl's eyes look like when she looked at him?
There were so many things that he was curious about. Without his permission, his mind was already filled with a thousand questions about this lovely girl.
The red-haired girl proceeded to finish her drink until her two cheeks crimsoned in a redder hue. This girl's movements started to shake, and her eyelids drifted in a slow-motion as if she was overwhelmed with drowsiness.
They don't need an expert to judge whether this girl is drunk or not.
Just as the girl was about to order another drink, Axel moved without his brain's command and grabbed the glass that the girl was holding.
"Miss, you are drunk. You better go home now."
"Hm?? Who are you?"
Ba-thump!
Her voice… her voice was like the chirping of birds in the morning. Axel felt like he was listening to music in the church on Sunday morning. It was a heavenly melodious sound.
"Give me my glass. I still want to drink." the girl protested, half sulking while trying to pull her drink back from Axel.
But Axel didn't obey her and put the girl's glass out of reach made the beautiful girl put on a cute frown.
"Uhm… why are you so annoying? Move over." the girl was about to get up from her seat to take her drink glass.
Unfortunately, the girl was too drunk and couldn't control her body properly. The moment the girl climbed down from her seat, her body immediately staggered forward.
Luckily, Axel was ready to support her so that the girl didn't fall and hit her head. But just as the soft scent struck his nose, Axel heard an alarm sounding inside his head.
"Move," ordered the girl in a weak voice as she tried to push Axel away.
Reflexively, the girl lowered her hand and accidentally touched Axel's hand, which was mysteriously as cold as ice. The two of them felt shocked when their skin touched... in a different way.
The girl never expected that there was human skin that was much colder than ice on Axel, while Axel felt electricity shock emerged from within his heart.
What is this feeling?
The girl didn't help him because now she was holding onto his hand without any fear.
"Wow, your hands are so cold. It feels so good."
Axel's eyes widened when he saw the girl pressed his cold hand towards the girl's cheek, which was hot from drunkenness.
"I love it. I wish I had hands like yours." muttered the girl with a big smile that could stir Axelard's heart into a big storm.
It felt like he saw a tornado that had suddenly appeared and hit his whole heart and mind when he saw the girl's broad smile. For the first time, Axel's heart was beating so fast as if he had been running for hours endlessly.
Not long after, Axel felt a weight hit his front part of his body, pulling back the senses that had previously left him.
The girl had fallen asleep with her head against his chest… which made the famous blue king stiffen in place.
Wait a minute! How could this girl bear to touch his skin? Since he was born and inherited the power of ice energy from his father, no woman could touch his skin for more than a minute.
He had to hold back the flow of cold energy to not injure the humans around him when he shook hands or hugged.
But… how could this girl bear to touch his cold skin? Usually, girls who were brazenly approaching him would run away once they felt his unbelievably freezing cold hand.
If the girls were stubborn enough to touch him longer than two minutes, her body temperature would drop drastically, and fell ill.
As for this girl… not only could this girl bear contact with his skin, this girl's body temperature still normal?!
Is it possible that this girl is…
Axelard shook his head to get rid of his thoughts, and then he decided to take the girl away from this place. He didn't like how the almost drunken men looked at this girl like a hunter.
It felt like those lust-filled eyes telling him to leave the girl right at that moment.
Somehow he hated the thought of another man ogling this beautiful angelic face.
Axelard picked up the girl in bridal style with great care and carried her out of the bar.
But… he just remembered that he didn't bring a car when he decided to go here. It was also impossible for him to take this girl to the men's room so he could 'jump' without being caught.
Axelard glanced around and decided to walk down the small alley. With every step he took, Axel summoned the wind to hide his presence. Gradually, his body became transparent and invisible to the point of no one could notice his changing.
Once he turned a corner where no one was watching, the blue king teleported to his house.
He didn't have to worry if the servants who served him saw him suddenly appear out of nowhere. They are all loyal servants of their father and grandfather's family and know the secret of their identity. That's why he didn't need to hide his unnatural ability in front of his servants.
Once they arrived at his house, Axel took the girl in his arms to his room. He didn't understand why he wanted to take this girl to his room instead of the guest room.
Apparently, his heart wanted to be close to this girl even though Axel still didn't realize it.
The blue king laid the girl on his king-size bed gently. After covering her with a thick blanket, Axel got up to let her sleep comfortably.
Unfortunately, he could not go because the girl grabbed and pulled one of his hands towards the girl's innocent face.
"Don't go." the girl talked in her sleep as she rubbed her cheek against the back of Axel's hand, making the blue king choke.
"This girl... is so unpredictable." or does every drunk human always act the unexpected?
Axel had a very high alcohol tolerance. No matter how many bottles of liquor he consumes, he would never get drunk. That's why he wondered, what would this girl's character be like when she wasn't drunk?
After meeting all kinds of women looking for a life partner, this is the first time Axel feels a strong attraction.
Who is this girl? What is her name? He wanted so badly to know.
In the end, Axel just sat there all night enjoying the face of the girl who was fast asleep. The girl didn't let go of his hand until he started to feel numb in his arms due to his uncomfortable sitting position.
Strange enough, he didn't mind the numb feeling and stayed still to see the sleeping beauty on his bed.
Ah, what kind of feeling is this? Is it possible... this girl is his true love destined for him?
How ironic. Axel had been traveling the world looking for his life partner all his life and failed to find the one. But, now, when he decided to give up and enjoy life, the girl appeared before him in the most unexpected way.
Axel couldn't wait for this girl to wake up from her sleep. He wanted to get acquainted with the girl and approach her as a man.
Enthusiastic smiles and gazes full of love adorned the handsome face of the blue king.
