The night was long and as we made our way towards the transportation circle we encounter another two individuals both of which I was familiar with and had met only recently...
-Lady elyssa..
I called out,beside her stood dustin who had a pretty boring expression on his face while looking at us both of them suddenly had disappeared when the fey had invaded the building well from what I assume leraje must have been still with lady elyssa,but when I came back he was alone with cecilia...
-Do you have some kind of business with our men miss ?
Steward came forward it seemed like he didn't know who this person was in front of him neither did cecilia maybe this woman wasn't anyone that special ?
Lady cecilia only glanced at steward ignoring him completely she step forward and stared towards me,her eyes showed a eager look in them she wanted something.
-Yes,I have some business with this boy actually...
Behind me leraje groaned for a bit,it seems like he knows what this woman is talking about.
I straightened myself and also stepped forward meeting face to face with the vampiress,I didn't have a single why she was here,but listening to her wouldn't hurt.
The woman didn't waste a second and spoke her demand her way of speaking was as if she was commanding me instead of offering me her posture and expression was leaning towards a noble and arrogant demeanor she was definitely a hard person to deal with...
-I be blunt here young man I want your guard leraje in specific I am willing to give you 5 million dollars in pure cash if you give leraje to me...
Steward and cecilia were wide eyed for a moment hestia on the other hand started giggling while leraje was making a very ugly face...for I moment I thought that she was joking,only to realize that she really wasn't she really wanted to buy leraje from me...
-Aren't you being a bit too rude ? Leraje isn't a "Thing" that you can buy if you want him to work for you then ask him at least ? Did that ever go through your head miss ?
Cecilia retorted making a very irritated look steward on the other hand decided to get out of the conversation completely and see what would happen.
Elyssa heard cecilia and just gave her a annoyed glare which didn't bother cecilia to the least as she gave her own glare towards the woman.Lady elyssa caught herself after a few seconds and pretended to clear her throat...
-Of course I thought about that,but it seems like leraje isn't going to move from his spot no matter what he is only going to leave if he is told by his all so loving "Lord" so thats why I am standing in front of you,you should just agree and take the money.I don't know how you were able to get someone like leraje under your control,but trust me I am doing both of us a favor you don't understand the magnitude of power this guy holds nor do you even seem to know him very well so how about it a good deal right ?
She said with a beautiful smile plastered on her face waiting for me to say "yes",but bad for her it wasn't going to go her way.
-My answer is no,leraje isn't on sale
-I add another 8 million
Lady Elyssa added,this kind of counter made me only a bit surprised,but I held onto my words no matter how much money she would offer me,I knew that it would never be worth that amount.
-Good night lady elyssa...
I said stepping aside and walking towards the transportation circle the others also considered this conversation to be finished and followed along and just as I was about to cross her...she grabbed my hand,strongly...she just did something incredibly stupid.
Seeing the sudden grab hestia and leraje jumped into action both of them calling out their powers pointing it directly towards the woman with grim and slight angry expression on their faces.
She just did something incredibly stupid.
Lady elyssa was also a bit wide eyed especially when she saw leraje pull the bow on her,her eyes momentarily lingered at him the way she looked at leraje was very longing and also slightly hurt it was surprising to see such emotions in her and especially since they were directed towards leraje...
-Let go of him if you don't want to become live roast...
Hestia growled angrily towards lady elyssa her tone was all kinds of emotions ranging from pure anger and murderous intent her voice was also very different then her usual womanly deep one it now sounded as if she was possessed by a angry demon,cecilia and steward were very shocked hearing such voice and lady elyssa also couldn't help,but feel small amount of fear from the threat.
She let go.
-Ahem...I am sorry I lost myself for a moment there we may have started from the wrong foot here maybe we should introduce ourself a bit more properly so we can get to know each other a bit more...
She started over still trying to somehow win this over,but for what reason ? She obviously wanted to have leraje,but I could see that it wasn't for protection purposes rather she wanted him for a complete different reason...
Hestia who was standing behind me still excluded a extremely hot flames out of her body even though lady elyssa had let me go she was still angry at her.
-Hestia don't its okay...
I whispered very quietly leraje and hestia both heard it even lady elyssa seemed to have heard what I said and like so hestia partially calmed down making the big flames on her body disappear and in their stead small little flames were present showing that she wasn't completely good.
Lady elyssa seemed to want to talk again,but I quickly raised my palm...we were already wasting a lot of time standing here I knew that people like her wouldn't give up no matter what until they get what they wanted thats why I made a compromise instead.
-Lady elyssa I will tell you again leraje will be never be on sale in his entire life if you really want to meet him then ask him out yourself he doesn't have to be bought to be taken out he is also a living being he understands a language you just need to ask him...
My voice had a edgy tone to it almost irritated my words also seemed to have made lady elyssa slightly displeased,but she still seemed to have take these words to heart and faced towards leraje stepping forward standing in front of him.
These two without a doubt had some kind of history with each other if not then she wouldn't have done all of this just have leraje around her,what kind of history though is mystery to me asking leraje seemed also very awkward to me,but I would still listen if he ever would decide to tell me anything.
-We are going to go ahead leraje come back after you are done with whatever you need to do...
I said continuing to walk towards the circle the others also understood the matter and decided to go leaving lady elyssa and leraje time to spend alone with each other.
A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
I wasn't worried about leraje not being able to come back he knew how to operate the circle and he could also teleport to me if he wished to do so.
-Is it really okay to leave them like this ?
Cecilia asked unsure what think about this matter.
-I am not sure really,but that woman seemed to want to talk with leraje about a lot thing...
I replied not really sure what I wanted to say really.
=============================================
-It was a exciting night wasn't it ?
Cecilia asked standing beside her was steward waiting for her to say her goodbyes to me.
-Yeah,it was a wild party...
I laughed looking at hestia and remembering her fiery display she showed,hestia noticed my gaze she looked away slightly,but couldn't help smiling herself.
-So did you have fun ?
Cecilia asked smiling her question was something I was unsure about...did I really have fun ? I don't know the better question is did I enjoy it ? No,not really,but did I have fun ?
I looked at cecilia remembering the few rounds in which we danced was something funny to think about so I answered.
-Yes,I had fun
Cecilia smiled further.
-I see thats good...see you next monday tomorrow you don't have to work..
I nodded my head acknowledging and seeing off the kind heiress,steward nodded to me with a thanks before finally both of them left in a grand shine under the transportation circle.
When these two left both me and hestia decided to go back into our room...it was midnight currently everyone was sleeping most likely and disturbing them would be no good both of us also needed some proper sleep after all of this.
-Huh ? is anything the problem ?
I asked looking at hestia...she seemed to be really lost in thought..something that I rarely saw in her and after I asked this question she looked a bit hesitant on answering and instead pushed it off.
-No,its nothing I just thought of today and some small things really...
Her words were detached and a bit lonely....it didn't sound like nothing to me...on top of that this was the same expression she made when she explained to me where she was while I danced with quinn...she was still hiding "that" wasn't she...
At this point our conversation had died out both of us started to indulge into our silence hestia still thinking to herself while sometimes glancing at me...I had the impulse to simply go ahead and ask her what the problem was,but I didn't want to be tactful and refused to ask the question as finally got into my room locking it up from the inside getting our small privacy together.
-...
Silence both me and hestia sat on the bed we weren't really doing anything,but just sat on the edge of the bed the reason I didn't lay down was because I had the feeling that hestia wanted to say something on the other hand hestia wasn't saying anything and instead seemed to be waiting for something else to happen..
-Hestia...
-Dawn...
Both of us spoke simultaneously addressing each other once again both of us stopped talking hearing the others voice we were being considered about each other to let the other one speak first,but both of us once again ended up staying quiet waiting for the other one to speak.It was slightly awkward without a doubt and for the first time in my entire life I really forget what I wanted to say...
I glanced at hestia her eyes were squirming around she seemed to be a bit confused and if I am thinking correctly,both of us seemed to have forgotten what we wanted to say...
-hahahaha...
I laughed faintly my laugh caught hestias attention as she looked at me a bit confused not sure why I was laughing finishing laughing I explained myself in front of her showing her a soft smile.
-Its just that we are both being really stupid right now it is obvious that you want to say something being like this isn't necessary is it ?
I laughed continuing to look at hestia with a gentle look on my face,hestia on the other hand seemed to be a bit embarrassed,but also smiled warmly towards me whispering something.
-Its just that I didn't get to dance...
Hestia replied her answer momentarily made my brain stop...and after a few seconds everything inside my head started to piece the answers together...I am really am an idiot ain't I ?
I cursed myself and without missing a beat I quickly pulled out my smart phone looking through the files inside the phone I quickly chose a melody that came with the phone starting it up I put it to the highest volume and set it onto the night desk.
-This...
Hestia was surprised she had been observing me this whole time she wasn't completely sure what I was doing,but now that she heard the sound of the music coming from the phone she understood and looked up towards me...
My suit was slightly disheveled and a bit messy and I probably smelled like blood,but I still bowed down in front of the beautiful lady a passionate rose that was in front of me pleading for her hand.
-If I may ? Would you like to dance my lady ?
The question was stupid the whole scenario was,but hestia smiled her eyes showing all kinds of emotion she simply nodded and took my hand standing up from the bed I showed her where to hold onto letting her embrace my neck while I hugged onto her hips.
-I don't know how to dance...
Hestia giggled unsure about herself,but I wasn't worried and simply smiled towards her confident.
-Its okay...just follow what I do...
She nodded trusting me without a second word.
The soft and slow music followed as both me and hestia took small steps around the room following the faint and gentle rhythm of the melody and staring into each others eyes the world around us seemed as if it was getting emptier every second finally only leaving me and her in this vast close space nothing seemed to matter anymore when we were this close it was an heavenly feeling something that I maybe couldn't experience with just anyone in this world and I knew that hestia thought the same.
The melody ran and ran,but that would also end at some point and until then I would continue staring and holding onto her like this until the music was done or until the end of the world.
-Kiss me...
Hestia whispered in a loving voice while I simply complied to her wishes.
