Leo once more trailed behind Isabella. The two were very quiet as they made their way back to their dorm room. Leo did notice that there were quite a few people staring at them. But he figured this was due to Isabella being a princess.
'Looks like you got a new wife and a princess at that. Just remember that I am your first wife.'
'Liana, where are you even getting the word wife from? First, we just met, and second, I am nothing but a village boy. A princess would marry someone closer to her status.' Leo ignored the first wife part.
'Now, now, my little innocent Master. That girl does not seem to hate you in the slightest. She has been quite calm about the situation and is not rejecting you outright. As a princess, no matter what the rules state, she could have opposed it or offered to have someone else room with you instead. But she chose to drop it altogether, which means she is not against sharing a room with you. You may just have a chance to slip it in and do the deed so you can take her as a wife.'
'Are all dragons this forward!?' Leo's cheeks turned slightly red. He really wondered if Liana was listening to her own words!
'What is wrong with what I said!? I am only telling the truth. And that is you have a chance!'
Leo ignored the salamander and entered the room. The awkward silence continued until Leo could no longer take it. "Umm… I'm gonna go take a shower."
"Okay…" Isabella, who could not even look at Leo at this time, answered softly but loud enough for him to hear. She was going crazy. She had never even shared a room with a girl before, and now here she was, the princess of the kingdom, sharing a room with a boy her age that she had just met for the first time. What made things worse was how the boy in question did not seem phased by it in the slightest.
Isabella turned and looked at the bathroom door. Her gaze fell on the small crack she could see between the door and the door jam. 'Did he not close it all the way!?'
Isabella bit her lip and remembered how Leo had seen her in her underwear. She still felt as if she had been taken advantage of. 'If I were to take a peek at him wouldn't it be fair?'
Clenching her fists, Isabella made up her mind. She mustered up her courage, got up off her bed, and walked to the slightly cracked door. She slowly pulled it open a bit more so she could take a peek inside. In front of the tall mirror that faced the door, she saw Leo standing there with a towel around his waist, leaning over the tub and turning the water on. Her eyes fell on his tanned skin and slightly muscular arms.
She couldn't deny that Leo was good-looking. His Silver hair and blue eyes were quite eye-catching. He had a face that was starting to show masculinity, giving him a more mature look. She found herself unable to look away as she traced her eyes across his body multiple times.
In the bathroom, Leo was listening to Liana giggling away. 'She's looking! She's looking! She's actually peeking at you! See! I was right to tell you to leave the door open a crack!'
'Just ignore her. I did see her in her underwear earlier. We can just call it even.'
'No way! You have to do something! I know! Start doing some poses in front of the mirror. Act natural and then pretend to suddenly see her and give her a wink before slowly undoing your towel.'
'Am I a pervert in your mind!?'
'Come on, Leo! Just give me this bit of entertainment! I can't be summoned, so I am stuck in this stuffy place!'
'Alright fine.' Leo couldn't say no when she put it like that.
With a sigh, he stood up and did his best not to look directly at the peeping tomgirl and began flexing his muscles in front of the mirror.
When Leo began flexing, Isabella was at a loss as to what he was doing. She didn't know why he suddenly started doing that. 'Do all boys do this when they are in the bathroom?'
She watched him flex over and over again until… her eyes met his! 'He just winked at me! Wait why is he removing his towel!'
*Crash!*
"Ouch!" Isabella stumbled back and fell to the floor, hitting the back of her head against the wall. However, she did not have time to worry about that. The pain was nothing compared to her embarrassment. She quickly scrambled to her bed and dived under the covers. She did not want to see anyone right now. She had peeked and gotten caught! She wanted to die! Her noble image as a princess had just flown out the window and up into the sky, never to be seen again.
In the bathroom now slipping into the hot bath. Leo was having a headache. 'Hahahahahaha! She fell! Hahahaha!'
'Liana you are having way too much fun.'
'Hahaha… I can't help it! She is too cute. If you don't win that girls heart in the future I think the world should just end. She is really a cutie.'
'We do not know what the future holds. And I for one am not going to push the issue with a princess.'
'You really shouldn't look down on yourself. Look she was entranced by your body and down there is very much sure to make any girl happy. Anyway, why are you fine with going nude even when you know I can see it all? You also did not react much when you saw the girl in her underwear either.'
'Hmm? Oh. My family has always taken baths together to save on water and wood. We did our best to stay clean and healthy. So I am pretty used to a womans body I guess?'
'That makes sense. But still at least tease the girl a bit when you get out of the bath.'
'Oh I plan to ask if she liked what she saw. I mean, I wouldn't be me I didn't at least ask.'
'Hehe, I knew I liked you for a reason!'
