I can't even do anything about it'. [So, you are gonna chicken out after coming this far] 'I am not. I am just being careful'. [What's there to be careful about.] 'Her rank, level, trait, skill and what's with her being an assassin. On top of that she's successor and beloved daughter of the first ranked Assassin guild's leader. And as if that wasn't enough, what's with her trait - doesn't like people who lie, hates people who show off and lastly doesn't like ugly things'. [Calm down and take some deep breath] '...Inhale - exhale....' [Have you calmed down] 'Yeah, I think so'. [This is why I told you that the best option was to end her but you didn't listen. You still have some time, so, think it through] 'No thanks, I will still choose the first one'. [Just go and make her drink the potion, use force if necessary as her rank is temporarily decreased to C-rank] 'What are you a barbarian, using force on a girl in this state'. [No! I am just saying, why use brain when you can use brawn] '...' [Then what's your plan] 'I don't have one'. [Then atleast bid farewell to your family and this world] 'I don't plan on dying either, not like this'. [Yeah, you don't want to die as a virgin a second time, right] 'Yea-. What are you talking about? You are a virgin, you died a virgin death'. [Sorry there, I just have a bad habit of saying the truth, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings] 'Just stop spouting nonsense and how did it even come to this'. [Just, because ---] 'You don't need to tell me your reason because I know it's a waste of time. So, just help me in making a plan as we don't have much time'. [Just go and say you need her help with something and in return you will remove the poison from her body] 'Won't she become suspicious of me if I suddenly approach her'. [Just say something like you know her father or anything else. If you continue to stand there like an idiot then she will become more suspicious of you] 'But what about her trait'. [I am giving you an item that can increase your charm by a major rank, we can talk about the prices after you survive today. And you don't have to be worried about her other trait, just keep in mind about her prideful nature, not to be lustful and lie like a pro as she doesn't have an ability to discern between a lie & truth and also don't fall for her voice] Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere. 'Ok'. 'Can't you continue to keep speaking rubbish like you always do to make me not fall for her skill'. [Yeah, we can try this, like always]. System answered me in a sarcastic way. Not minding the sarcastic remarks of the system like always, I continued to keep reciting these few datails as a chant in my mind. But feeling the burning gazes of her eyes looking at me, my body almost froze in fear. Knowing fully well that backing off wasn't an option. So, after taking some deep breaths, I equiped the artifact that increases the charm and walked towards her. Hidding the ongoing inner turmoil behind a mask of calmness on my face. Seeing that I was moving towards her, she shifted her body in an attacking position. Not wanting to make her wary 'more than she already is' I placed both my hands on the back of my head on a surrendering position. After seeing that she was becoming less wary of me, I took the chance and spoke to her. "Lady you don't have to be worried, I am not going to do anything". Not knowing why she suddenly tensed up and moved a few step backward while facing me. Not showing any sort of weakness, I asked the system in a desperate attempt to gain some enlightenment about the ongoing situation, to which the system raised its both hands in defeat, 'even though it didn't have any'. ... Finally after a few seconds which felt like few hours to me, she spoke for the first time. "How did you know that I am a girl, speak otherwise I will not be this merciful anymore". Listening to her beautiful voice, my brain shut down by itself. But thanks to system's hard work(spouting rubbish), I was able to break free from the clutches of the her special skill. Shit, if it wasn't for the system I would have died just now. I have to be careful of her special skill more than ever. 'Hey, system'. [Yeah] "Do you think she knows that I am not under control of her special skill anymore". [I think so, but she can't be sure and even if she is sure that you are free from her special skill, she can't do anything about it] '...' [Even if she's sure, you don't have to worried about this. As she will understand that you mean no harm to her] 'Why'. [Well, because, I think that... Ummm... She might misunderstood you and have misconception about you being stronger than her] "Oh! What if I continue to feed her ego and make her think that she is more superior, won't that make her become less wary due to her prideful nature". [Yeah, we can also try this] As I was speaking with the system in my mind. The girl became impatient, probably due to my lack of response or maybe due to not having enough time as the poison had already spread in her body and she was barely holding on due to her willpower. She asked me again the same question from before but now in a more impatient tone. Seeing that she was in a hurry, I also speed up my plan. Acting like I wasn't able to control my body and as if my mouth was acting on it's own not knowing what I was saying, I spoke everything that came into my mind in a single breath. "My lady, your womanly aura can't hidden beneath these clothes of yours as they can't conceal your otherworldly charm. I just fell in love with you at first sight. The moment my eyes meet yours, my mind went blank and I wasn't able to think of anything other than you. And your voice, I can't even describe it in words. Please forgive me for saying all this, my lady". [ha.. ha.. ha. ...] Seeing the system laughing like it can't be stopped anymore, I just ignored it. I began to think about how embarrassing of a moment it was for me. A moment I wish wasn't known by anyone and is erased from the story of my life. Today, I get to know the difference between writing your thoughts for everyone to see and reading your thoughts for everyone to hear.
