"Ah, thank you. I've heard a lot about you from your servants. It's nice knowing someone who is this kind and gentle and not to mention your beauty can rival the goddess themselves." Sweat trickled down his face as he forced himself to not talk like the pervert he was.
It was hard. It's like his body was reacting on its own. The combination of the perverted young master's body and the office pervert has increased the pervertedness of the body, making him hard to just even keep his body still.
They were in a luxurious room right now. Luxurious than his own room back in the Zadkiel estate.
Not to mention this was only an office room and not her bedroom. If this was the office then he can only imagine how grandiose her bedroom must be.
'Can't wait to smash her in her room—Fuck! Fuck! Focus Damien.'
"Oh? You flatter me so much, young master. I'm nowhere near a goddess at that. I'm simply someone who likes to help others." She again smiled making him harder to breathe.
"So tell me something, my lady. Why is that someone like you hidden from the world? People can use your help, though I know better than to question your reasons and I know you help people without anyone knowing it but wouldn't it be better if we were to work together and help the needy ones?" He looked straight at her. This little task took almost every inch of his remaining willpower.
It was like looking at an extremely delicious food but you're too poor to buy it. But no matter, you would still look at it and drool over it. But, just imagine the food having eyes and strength to kill anyone, would you dare to look at it freely?
No, you wouldn't. What you'll do is take a peek at it while it looks away hoping you wouldn't get caught. Until you have the money to buy it, peeking will be the safest option.
Maelys was just like that food. If she caught him having lewd thoughts about her then he is dead.
Not to mention, her dress, now looking at it in close proximity, was really breathtaking.
Something awakened inside him and he knew it was not the shield hero!
'What the fuck is wrong with this body. Why can't it behave normally around hotties and beauties? I need to learn to control this uncontrollable lust. Maybe Lily can help. Fuck! Stop it!'
"I can understand where you're coming from, young master but I've tried what you told me and it majestically failed. The kings and queens, the dukes, and even the common people doesn't appreciate what we are doing. They always wanted more not even remembering what we're doing is just out of our compassion and not out of obligation. When all was said and done, we backed out and hid in the corner where no one can find but we never seized our help."
She was genuine. He could understand her words better than anyone, even better than her subordinates. He has read about her. He had cheered for her. She was one hell of a character.
Not just her beauty but her strength and character also increased her likability as a person to an infinite level and now facing her in real life he was more interested and attracted towards her.
'Is this love?
Get a hold of yourself, Damien.' He shook his head off any life-threatening jokes.
"I'm getting more and more attracted towards you, my lady."
'Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! That did not come out of my mouth, did it? No shit!'
"Ha~ Ha~" He heard a playful chuckle. "Thank you, young master, for your kind words. Perhaps we can talk about you being tied up in the middle of nowhere." She wore a playful smile void of any hostility or annoyance. This made the young master relax a bit.
"Ah, yes, about that. Me and my servants were traveling when we came across the broken bridge. There were also some people working on the bridge, perhaps another group of travelers.
Being the benign and kind noble I am, I sent my fine men to help them with the construction. Since there was nothing for me to help them I decided to take a stroll around the woods as I dearly love nature."
He stood up from his seat and walked towards the windows.
Maelys closely watched his steps for any ulterior movements.
It was a well-planned explanation. Adding elements that she likes.
"But when I came back, all that left was some blood stains and wheel marks. Then out of nowhere, this guy crept behind me and knocked me out." He shook his head in a disapproving way.
"Then, when I woke up, I was being tied up to a tree and the guy talked about some thieves and prisoners and rescues before speeding up to this fort. Perhaps you might already have captured him since it has been hours since that happened." He looked back at Maelys who had a confused look on her face.
"Oh? You didn't know. If you haven't captured him then I must warn you, that guy is dangerous. I suspect he is the guy who abducted all the people around the bridge." Damien worriedly said with cunningness and innocents that whoever looks at him now would fall for his lies.
In a way, it is not a lie. This was one of the two ways to escape from this fort and Maelys. If this works out, then all the attention of Maelys would be on Calen, while he can rescue his servants and Calen's sister himself. The other being, obviously using his charm to seduce Maelys and escape from here without any harm.
Both of them were just a gamble but it was a gamble he was willing to take.
He was someone who was about to shag the most dangerous ladies in this world and what would he be if he can't even take a single gamble like this.
