Watching Erikur's house all day and night was more boring than I could've ever imagined. Specially since I sat on a wall almost all through the night. I rubbed my eyes from the lack of sleep. I really needed a good night's rest, I haven't been able to even level of as of late due to the side effects from the belt.
Erikur left his house once more. Thankfully he took Gisli and Melaran with him. Which left the maid that would came an hour ago and the housecarl. As it turns out Melaran was Erikur's housecarl while Gisli had her own. Gal was a bear of a man I suspected Gisli was sleeping with. He also acted as her housecarl and seemed to have a room on the second floor.
I got up from the rock wall of proudspire manor and moved to the back of Erikur's house. Sneaking down and I began climbing up the wall. I had to enter directly through the third floor. The bottom floor was where the kitchen and storage seemed to be while the second floor was left to the housecarls. Ironcially this made breaking in incredibly easy.
I saddled against one of the windows. It had iron bars protecting the glass however with a little magic. Using splinter and texture careful I broke away the iron bars. Removing them from the window I dropped it and let it fall into the bushes below.
Now I just need to break the glass. Smashing it was easy however, using more magic I fired a small beam of ice to freeze the window. With a light tap the glass cracked. I tapped a little more of the frozen glass breakign it more. Once the crack was sufficent I used frost shock again. This time the glass broken from the ice however it didn't fall away. Instead being held in place by the ice.
I smirked at my genius and used harvest to clear all the glass away. I repeated the process until the window was removed and I could slip in. The fit was a tad tight, but I got in. I looked around the room, but it was rather plain. I opened a dresser and found several pairs of pink underwear. That answered which room I was in.
I was in Gilsi's room. I searched the dresser for anything of note, but it really was just underwear. I thought women hide diaries in the underwear? I shrugged and dumped all the glass shards into the dresser and closed it. I didn't want that trash in my inventory.
Next I looked under the bed and through all the furniture. Eventually I found something, however it was not what I wanted. At a desk Gilsi had a strongbox. I couldn't open the damn thing so i put it completely into my inventory. It was either filled with jewelry or notes.
With Gilsi's room searched I quietly opened the door checking if the coast was clear. The door to Erikur's room was open and I could hear light humming. I drew dawnbreaker, but paused. Rethinking I unequipped the lucky dagger from the belt. I lost my increased crit rate, but I needed dawnbreaker was a tad recognizable.
With a smooth motion I slid the dagger agaisnst the throat of the maid. She dropped the broom in her hands and I covered her mouth. "Scream and I slice your throat open. Do you understand?"
She nodded carefully, I uncovered her mouth. "Tell me where Erikur keeps his documents."
She struggled and I could hear her voice waiver, "His desk has a hidden pocket. The spare key should be in Melaran's room."
I raised an eyebrow at her willingness, "i know I have a knife to your throat, but that was rather quick."
The maid spoke calmly now, "I'm not risking my life for that trash."
I nodded, "It would be best you leave then."
Her voice waivered again, "My brother is downstairs, I-I can't! He could..."
I pressed the dagger into her neck, "Make an excuse. Spill or toss whatever food was prepared. Just don't get smart, otherwise." I pressed the dagger into her slim neck. This time it cut into her skin. I pulled back and disappeared into the hallway.
A few seconds I saw the maid rub her neck. She took out a strip of cloth and wrapped her neck. She stumbled out and down the stairs seconds later. I followed silently listening to her travel all the way down to the kitchen. I heard her curse and shout back up. "GAL! Why the stew pot inside the fireplace!"
Gal cursed under his breath and ran down stairs. I heard some arguing and eventually I heard a door slam shut. That maid really was a quick one. I think I heard Gal say something about her neck being injured again. I wasn't very interested in the drama and moved down the stairs. I looked in the first room on the second floor and instantly recognized it as Melaran's. A enchanting table sat in the corner while several metal staves sat on a far desk.
I moved quickly through the room taking anything of value and putting back the trash. Melaran actually had several charcoal pencils. Same thing I was using to write, I quickly stole them. I placed the thoughts to research ball point pen or graphite pencil production.
I clicked my tongue when I found another damn locked box. This time I didn't bother and just slammed magic into it. The Frostshock spell filled the lock and I heard several cracks. I gripped the lock box and pulled. A second later the lid was pulled off. The contents inside spilled everywhere.
My eyes widened though as what fell was several black crystals, a couple of keys and a small notebook. I picked up the black soul gems and inspected them. They were filled! That was certainly interesting. I pocketed them and the keys obviously and opened the notebook.
I read through the contents, most of it was his ramblings on his various magical interests. However My interest was peaked when he mentioned Sybille. He had discovered her as a vampire broken free from whatever spell she places on people. The cure for said charm came after he had used a black soul gem. It broke him free from the charming effect.
He also detailed an interest in me. As he suspects I know she is a vampire too. It seems he saw me show her a daedric artifact. However he didn't specify which one. This did give me some insight into the player form physique. Apparently I was immune to charms.
I put away his notebook since it was actually pretty good. He had some decent ideas I could implement myself. Too bad he worked for Erikur. I ran back to Erikur's room, the maid mentioned his desk. However I moved around the room ransacking it. After looting everything I ripped open his desk.
Finding a silver lock I shoved the previous found key in and it unlocked. Several papers, letters, and even a full ledger book greeted me. I smirked and grabbed them. "Let's see..." I flicked through them, however I stopped as I felt the world shift.
I felt the whole house shake and I froze in place. However the shaking didn't stop, soon a boom followed. The sound shook me, I recognized it though. I recognized it and that shook me far more. I was ready for it to come for a long time.
This was the voice of the greybeards. It meant the dragonborn had officially awakened. I shoved all the documents into my inventory. Running back to Gilsi's room I dove out the window and landed in the bushes below. The wind was knocked out of me, but I got up and rushed away.
----So like I want to ask, should I add lemons? Like I could and kind of want to, but i don't want it to be like horny novel you know? So i am asking lemons or some kind of attempt at full-filling romance or the MC decided he likes money more than woman. Those who feel to comment can add in their opinion here.-----
