"I'm– ahh."
"Pardon me! It's not my intention to be nosy about you. It's just that I am also from Louvre Publication, and just like you, I am also quite the anonymous one," she said, almost whispering at the end of her sentences. I felt a big relief upon hearing her words, but I don't know how I should react in this matter. I mean, she is part of that publication, and I'm not.
Before I even noticed it, she suddenly took something out of her pocket, which made me quite alert for a moment. However, I got dumbfounded when I saw her wear the nerdiest glasses in the entire world. I almost burst out laughing upon seeing her wearing big round glasses. From being a sophisticated noble lady to a half-cooked Harry Potter, I should say she looks like the accidental child between Potter and Weasly. She has ginger, and I can see freckles on her nose, plus the fact that she is wearing those eyeglasses makes her look like a ginger nerd.
"You see, my name is Aimore, but my sobriquet is Amore, as in love. I got it from a book I got from my father, and you see, my father was an explorer, and he loves collecting many foreign objects, which I find quite fascinating, and oh! Also, my fa-"
"May I know where her chambers would be? "As disrespectful as it may seem, interrupting her was the best choice because I don't have the time or courage to listen to her. I smiled ear to ear to her, hiding the fact that I am already losing patience right here, right now.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Madame. I was just so excited to meet another writer like myself. You look sophisticated; maybe that's why this outrageous woman right here desires you like a madman. Are you sure you want to sleep with her? "
"It depends if you keep me company and tell me about this adoption of the Queen; then maybe I'll have more satisfaction with you than with her."
I saw a faint blush on her cheeks, which made me smirk. Maybe she is actually my target, not the other Madame. "As my colleagues and perhaps a new profound friendship, maybe we could be familiar with ourselves since the night is still young, am I right, lady Agnes? "
This blonde woman I have been carrying flushes her cheeks red, which made me shiver in disgust. She really fell for the fact that I was going to give her a pleasure tonight. Disgusting.
"Then please follow me, Madame Rore."
"Sure, Ms. Amore."
When we finally arrived at this blonde woman's room, I told Amore to leave us alone for a moment and wait for me. She tried to help me, but I told her that everything was under control. It's not that hard to create a sexually dramatic scene. I have seen hundreds of R-rated movies back in my world, and those were my only escape from reality. I was even scolded by the nurses because my heart rate keeps rising, which is not good for my health. They were like my sister telling their brother to stop watching porn. I'm sorry, sisters.
"Hey darling, shall we dance the night away? "
I snapped back into reality when the blonde, horny woman climbed onto my lap. It hasn't even been three minutes since I sat down to rest. And what the hell was that cliche sentence?
I panicked a bit, as I don't really have a solid plan to escape getting raped by this woman. For Pete's sake, I am a minor. I am only fifteen years old.
I guess I don't have a choice. We will thoroughly dance the night away tonight.
"Really, that's it? It was only a red wine that ended her? I mean, fainted her? "
I was giggling, not because it was funny but because it was really pissing me off. I could only nod in response. The horrifying memory of that woman makes me want to commit murder right now.
"Her chambers look wrecked. I was worried when I read a loud ruckus." Amore's voice sounds so worried. I could only tap her shoulder and give her a reassuring smile to assure her that I was absolutely not fine.
Because of my anger towards that woman, I tried to tear her clothes, almost completely revealing her breasts to me. I remember her saying something. Ah, right, I am an aggressive one.
I could be, especially when it comes to killing you, I must say. But lucky for her, it was because I saw a wine on the nightstand that gave me an idea. I drank almost half of the wine, and she already knew what I was about to do with her. She automatically opened and was flushing red in excitement. As unsightly as it looks to pour the wine from my mouth into hers, I have no choice, as it was actually the one that saved me from her. And even before I leave, I have to take her undergarment off and throw it away to make her think that something did happen to us. I also created chaos inside the room, and since I have to be gentlemanly, I made sure she was covered with a filthy blanket.
"Then shall we continue and have a drink?"
"Definitely."
Since I badly need something to wash my sin, But when I thought that I was about to get information about the adoption and a little sneaky information about the cradle, Ms. Amore right here didn't last. I tried to lift one of her arms, and it eventually fell as soon as I let go.
"She's wasted."
Well, not that; it's my concern. In fact, this is my chance to sneak into the Holy Knight's Cradle. It is one of the most sacred places and the very source of power in this kingdom. I couldn't help but smile widely as I walked towards the open door of the balcony.
As soon as I was out, the cold breeze of the night enveloped me. I did not shiver from the cold; instead, I could feel a blood rush in my system. I suddenly feel so excited at the thought of finally going to the cradle. When I woke up in this world and realized I could not go back to my world anymore, I decided to live freely while witnessing firsthand the flow of the story, even if I had already interfered. Nevertheless, I already have a bucket list of what I want to do in this life now that I am all healthy and alive.
I already know my way to the cradle. The moment I step foot here, it is as if a lingering warm air keeps pulling me, which I realized a while ago when we were going to the chamber of Lady Agnes. But given the fact that this palace is surrounded by numerous knights, spies, or whoever they are hiding in the shadows, I have to be overly cautious about sneaking.
And another set of problems that has a correlation with those lurking shadow people is that I cannot get out of this place because, one, the floor that I am currently located on is the fifth floor, which, according to my estimation, is the 3rd to the last floor of this palace. The king's palace is so enormous that it has many floors despite being so wide, probably as wide as a university. I can't jump down to the ground, or else I'll have a serious fracture, which can cause quite a ruckus to the sleeping people here. Also, I can't climb down, because if those people see me, they'll assume I'm an assassin.
"How should I?"
Of course, why would I make myself go through difficult stuff?
I watched it on television that there is a certain time when all the people are in a deep slumber, even those who are trying to pull an all-nighter. They said that every 15 minutes within every hour, from ten to two a.m. in the morning, all people will go into a deep sleep. It was some sort of phenomenon that even scientists can't explain.
I quickly went back inside and looked for a watch in this room. Luckily, Amore has a pocket watch inside a small pocket of her dress. Like those classic pocket watches I saw in comics, this silver luxury pocket watch pointed exactly at one a.m.
"I'm sorry, Amore. Let me borrow your watch for a moment," I said, quickly taking her pocket watch. Since I didn't have much time left, I immediately went out of the room. The silence was indescribably deafening, and the hallway was dark. Without those glass windows, the hallway will be way too dark for me to see. Glancing at the pocket watch and squinting my eyes to see the time, it seems I only have twelve minutes left.
"Let's go," I said to myself. I made a hasty decision and didn't bother about a possible awakened person that I might encounter. In fact, even if my footsteps were getting a bit louder as I walked faster, no one was getting in my way. This is the power of fifteen slumber magic that I guess even in this world can happen, or am I just overly lucky?
I decided to follow where the ladies and I went inside this enormous palace. When I was finally out, that was when I finally sprinted. My footsteps were not as loud as I thought they would be, probably because the palace is mostly covered in grass and there are no traces of dry leaves that cause a sound, just like in those cliche movies.
And when I thought that the palace of the King was the most magnificent one I had ever seen, it was the Holy Knight's Cradle that made my jaw drop in amusement. I kept panting, catching my breath, but my eyes were already fixated on the cage.
"So this is the Holy Knight's Cradle."
