(Chapter 3) Embarrassed

Amon was quite perplexed, the first thing he saw after gaining a new body was little quivering woman kneeling on the ground before him sourunded by some broken pieces of what probably once was a vase.

His right hand still raised most likely in preparation to hit her. His gaze fell upon the woman, who was still frozen in fear, trying to make sense out of the situation he was in.

As he drew closer, he noticed the genuine fear etched on her face, her eyes brimming with tears.

He softened his voice and asked "What is your name?" Sophies face turned pale, and her hands started to tremble as she answered "S-Sophie your Highness."

"Are my maid?" Asked Amon in response.

Quite confused about that sudden question Sophie nodded still trying to suppress her tears.

Seeing her like that Amon knelt down beside Sophie and gently placed his raised hand on her shoulder.

"It's alright, Sophie," he said, in a soothing voice. "Accidents happen.

I understand that you didn't do it on purpose it was just a vase nothing precious."

Sophie struggled to find words, she was still scared but Prince Amon's unexpected empathy had caught her off guard, replacing her fear with a sense of confusion.

Wasn't he about to hit me for destroying the Vase?' She was really confused.

The other servants warned her to be especially careful around the prince and told her about some of his previous acts.

Is he trying to seduce me with acting kind? Or maybe he is tricking me right now waiting for me to let my guard down before punishing me!

A lot of different theories emerged inside her head before she was interrupted by the voice of Amon who said in a joking manor with a slight smile on his face "Aren't you going to clean up this mess? I mean you destroyed my vase the least you could to is to collect the shards to prevent me from stepping on one of them at night".

Sophie still kneeling on the ground was completely stupefied and didn't know how to reply.

If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

Wasn't he supposed to be a cruel and cold person? Why is the smiling and joking with me?

If I think about it, i don't really think he is trying to seduce me with that act.

I mean why should he if he really wanted me there would be nothing I could to against him as a lowly maid.

Then it dawned on her Maybe he was kind to begin with and those other servants just wanted me to embarrass myself in front of him.

Well, they achieved their goal I must look like a complete laughingstock crying and stuttering like a little child because of a vase.

After coming to that conclusion her face started to gain a red hue she was so embarrassed she wanted to sink in the ground and never come out again.

But soon she started to silently collect the shards in her apron but not without peeking at Amon from time to time observing him from head to toe whenever he wasn't looking in her direction.

Meanwhile, Amon's gaze was fixated at a bottle of wine he found on a table staring at it with a complicated look on his face.

He just remembered that now that he was in a human body he needed to eat, drink and sleep to sustain it before he reached rank 4 as a magus with that body.

He was still able to use his void laws even with this body as they were integrated within his consciousness itself but that was also the cause why they didn't affect his body.

Normally a magus would fuse their body and soul at rank 4 gaining several benefits besides that they needed no food like an unlimited lifespan so unless they were killed a magus at or above rank 4 could life forever.

However he never had a body as far as he could remember so he fused his void law directly with his consciousness making him more ore less immortal as long as that law existed.

However that also meant he couldn't fuse it again with his body.

He theorized after comparing his laws with the knowledge of the magus that he should be considered a rank 9 existence.

He wasn't really sure because the strongest existence the magus knew was peak rank 8 so Amon could only theorize.

Thinking about that he laughed inwardly he was probably the most pitiful rank 9 existence out there still needing to eat and sleep.

Well theoretically he would be fine but his body would die and than he would need to look for a new one and he would like to avoid switching bodies on a regular basis so it could only arrange himself with his current situation until he reached rank 4 to fuse his new body and soul.

Shifting his gaze to Sophie who just finished collecting the shards "After you are done disposing those shards bring me some food I don't really care what just have the chef prepare something".

Sophie was abruptly torn out of her thoughts as she heard the gentle voice of Amon.

She was startled for a short moment still embarrassed for her earlier actions before replying shyly while leaving the room as if she couldn't get out of that embarrassing situation as soon as possible "I will bring it to your Highness as soon as possible."

After she left Amon poured himself a glass of wine sipping on it from time to time while starring at the grandeur of the silver moon towering mighty in the sky and waiting for his first meal since an eternity to arrive.
