Chapter 27
Aiden: This must be the Winglet district, it's pretty far out of town though, *Sniff-Sniff* I may be at the entrance but I can smell a lot of men from here, Blehh!! It recks of failed dreams and testosterone *Sigh* I'd better get this over with quickly and never return.
A gentle wind blew
Brrr~, I just had the sudden thought of If my mom ever found out that I came to a red light district, she would kill me! The thought of her ever finding out sends chills down my spine, *Shivers*
Aiden sees two men at the entrance to the district.
Aiden: Guards? As much as I would like to beat those guys up and walk in like a badass, I'd better keep a low profile... Oh, I know, I'll go buy a cloak!
.
.
.
.
.
Aiden: Okay, this cloak is really really hot !! Wearing a cloak, a jacket, and a long sleeve shirt at the same time feels suffocating, I'm a fire magic user I'm not necessarily supposed to feel the heat but c'mon this is just abuse.
I'll have to depart with the jacket...oh yeah, I almost forgot, these clothes were made by Brian...after I get home I'll burn them.
Aiden took off the jacket.
Aiden: Ahh, much more freeing, Ooh and I'm loving the new look like a ninja.
Aiden's POV
Hehe, and I feel like an assassin, pew, pew.
Aiden walked into the district so fast the guards couldn't perceive him, he hid behind a building.
Aiden: I forgot I can move faster than the average human can notice, good to know next time I'll-wait... which means the clothes change was unnecessary, *SIGH~~
Aiden walked through the district looking around for the Demi-den.
Aiden: Wow, so this is the Winglet district, hmm.. some places look luxurious and some looks like they're on their last legs, the girls on the latter look tired, probably from hunger, I feel bad for them but I have another mission for now.
Aiden kept walking and bumped into someone...
Aiden:Oof!...Huh? Oh, sorry I wasn't looking where I was going.
Aiden hit a tall muscular man.
Man: Did you just try to rob me?!
He had a deep voice.
Aiden: Why was that your conclusion?
The man got angry and grabbed Aiden by the collar and lifted him.
Man: Do you know what they call me?!
Aiden: Hmm...With the axes, you're carrying, plus you're height and physical appearance, and your voice, amma guess...The lumberjack?
Man:You must have heard of me then!
Aiden: Nope. I'm just seeing and guessing that right now.
Man: Haha, this kid, you're fearless, let's see how much of you're bravery lasts while you bleed!
People around them acted like they didn't notice. Some even muttered:
Man #5: He's going to get killed, poor guy.
Man#7: That's why everyone avoids the lumberjack, he could crush a tree with his bare hands.
Man #4: He's definitely gonna die.
The lumberjack took Aiden to a corner and minutes later everyone here's a loud cry then Aiden walks out of the corner alone.
Aiden: He sure screams loud though, I only held his finger, Hahaha.
Everyone was shocked but minded their business and avoided eye contact
Aiden: I better look where I'm going, I don't want another "Lumberjack" incident.
Aiden tried asking around but no one replied to him so he walked into one of the low-end brothels to ask.
At the reception the brothel keeper was a young woman in her twenties, she had white hair, yellow eyes, and diamond-shaped irises.
Laura: Good evening, sir, My name is Laura, and welcome to my establishment, how can I help you?
Aiden's POV
Wow, she's pretty and her soft way of speaking is tempting.
Aiden: Uhm...Do you know where the Demi-den is?
Laura smiled
Laura: Sorry, we only give Information to our patrons.
Aiden: Oh, then what can I-
Aiden's POV
Crap! I forgot this is a red light district, anything I "order" is going to be a girl! Noooo, I don't wanna pop the cherry now...Or...I could see this as a good thing and be free from virginity.
What am I thinking?!
let's think it through...
Laura: Uh, Sir?
Aiden: I'm not ready! Huh? Oh, Hehe, sorry I spaced out, yeah?
Laura: You look a bit young, how old are you?
Aiden's POV
I've gotta lie
Aiden: I'm 17
Aiden's POV
The fuck? I AM 17 where's the lie in that?!! Crap she's going to send me away for this.
Laura: Looks like you just came of age then.
Aiden: Huh?... I mean, of course, I am totally grown up.
Aiden's POV
So the age for doing stuff like this is 17? Wait, it means I'm allowed to drink?
Laura: Then you'll need someone with experience to help you with your first time then.
A girl scantily dressed with a whip came out.
Laura: I recommend her, every man that came in left with a smile on their face, So? How about her?
Aiden: Uh...H-how about someone new...(Please)
Laura: You wish for someone new?
Aiden: Yes...P-please.
Laura: Okay, give me a moment.
She went into the back.
.
.
.
Aiden waited for 5 minutes before he started walking around.
Aiden: Here doesn't seem so bad, It's pretty neat actually, it almost feels wholesome? Haha, what am I saying?
But the outside looks kinda bad though, that might be bad for business.
Laura: I'm hoping to renovate soon.
Aiden: Ahhh! You heard me?
Laura: The walls have ears.
Aiden: Oh s-sorry for talking more than I was supposed to.
Laura walked towards Aiden and touched his face.
Aiden: Uh...?
Laura: You're filled with so much magic power it's overwhelming and you're aura and spirit are also strong as well, in a clean manner, which is rare.
Aiden started blushing.
Aiden: Hehehehe, thanks.
She came closer and started stroking his hair. At this point, Aiden's heart could be audibly heard.
Laura: You're hair... is weird
Aiden: Okay that killed the mood, Why's the world hung up on my hair?! Yours is white!
Laura: I'm a white snake, of course, my hair would be white.
Aiden: White snake?
Laura: My species is of the white snake, we can assume a human form but as for me, I'm a demi-human so this is the only form I assume.
Aiden was silent.
Laura: All those who know what I am either get scared, change their minds or run away from here, I know you want to too. I just wanted to tell you ahead of time.
Laura looked sad.
Aiden: My hair's still not weird!
Laura: Aren't...you afraid of me?
Aiden: Of you? Nah, I'm good, I'm not sure if someone being of a different species is supposed to equate to fear but ... you're pretty and men who would run from a woman like you are fucking weak.
Laura: You sure know how to make a woman blush.
Aiden: Hehe.
Aiden's POV
Look at me being all cool. The men here can fuck other creatures but would run away from her, either they are confused or she's dangerous...Yep, definitely the first one.
But why would she tell me all that?
She smiled.
Aiden: So...uh, can you tell me where that brothel is?
Laura: I'll tell it to the person who you'll be with in your room, so after you're done she can tell you.
Aiden: O...kay.
Laura: Go upstairs to the right, there's a room with the number "32" on the door.
Aiden: T-thanks.
Aiden paid and headed upstairs.
.
.
.
Aiden walked towards the room he's heart dropped to his stomach on arrival at the door.
Aiden: I...Can't...do it! I can't go in.
Breath Aiden! BREATH!!
*Very heavy breathing*
Aiden opened up the door and saw a girl's bare back and quickly closed the door.
Aiden: Nope. I think I'll just keep walking around.
The door opened behind him and a girl's voice said:
Girl: Aren't you coming in, master?
Aiden's POV
What's with that Angelic voice? Should I turn around, what if the voice doesn't match the face, I saw red hair when I opened the door. She could be cute! Fine, I'll grow some balls and turn around!
Aiden turned around but the girl wasn't there anymore It was just an open door.
Girl: Come in, master, I'll treat you well tonight, master.
Aiden heard her voice from the outside and walked toward the room again.
Aiden: *Gulp*
His strained footsteps thudded against the wooded floor.
He finally reached the doorway of the room and saw the girl in nothing but sheets looking out the window and her hair flowing in the wind.
Girl: Beautifull night, isn't it, master?
Aiden: ...
Aiden's POV:
Wait a minute... That voice.
The girl slowly turned around.
Aiden: It's you?!!
