"Jezebel, I’ll be leaving, just take care of yourself," Alaric said and walked past Jezebel and Cain, who was still looking at him.
Jezebel had said her brother was excessive but this was just a bit too much. He felt sorry for her, but the eyes shooting daggers at him were enough for him to continue walking forward.
He knew Jezebel was safe cause despite always complaining about him she was still fond of him. He was just a sis con.
He didn’t have the capability of going against an S-class awakened. They were placed on top of the leaderboard for a reason.
Alaric was sure there was a higher level than S class. The governnt probably didn’t research enough or there trulg was no one better than S class.
He walked slowly down the small road away from Jezebel’s family estate. The driver had offered to take him but he had rejected it.
He wanted to enjoy the breeze since the sun was covered by the clouds. Trees on the road swayed to the breeze and he would occasionally see a bee or two flying back. Just enjoying nature.
He felt sorry for those little bees. All that hard work for nothing in return except more hard work.
Alaric reached the main road that led out of the suburbs and started to count the houses as he continued to walk down the road.
"Alaric?" He smiled as he saw Samantha waving at him from a distance. She was standing outside a large black gate with its side door open.
She looked just as beautiful. Orange hair, blue eyes, and wearing a long, round, blue skirt with a floral pattern and a white, tight shirt at the top.
He had taken a chance and it had paid off. Jezebel had said she lived just a few houses away from her and it seed his choice to walk had been right.
He had half hoped to accidentally et her while leaving. He could even see the looming black and golden gate from afar.
"Hi, long ti," Alaric said and walked towards her. He glanced around him cautiously since he didn’t want a repeat of Jezebel’s brother.
Samantha ran up and hugged him tightly. Alaric wrapped his hands around her waist and spun her around as she laughed out loud.
"How did you even know I was here?" Alaric asked her the mont he set her down.
She held her chest as she tried to catch her breath from all the laughing.
"Jezebel told just an hour ago. Did you visit her by surprise or sothing?" She asked him curiously.
Alaric chuckled at her attempt at finding out what was going on.
"No, her grandfather brought here. I had so business to discuss with her parents."
She nodded accepting his vague explanation.
"Why did you live early then?" She asked again.
"Her brother kicked out," Alaric said in amusent.
Samantha wrinkled her nose at his na.
"Yeah, the first ti I t him, he said I was corrupting his sister."
"Thats so like him, a sister com through and through. "
Samantha looked around before slapping her thigh softly.
"Ooh lord, I’m such a bad host. We’ve been talking while standing outside. "
Alaric chuckled and followed behind her. When they reached the gate, he stopped just before going inside.
Samantha walked for a while before she noticed he wasn’t next to her.
"Is everything okay?"
Alaric nodded.
"Then why aren’t you coming,?"
"Any family mbers inside?"
Samantha seed to understand what he was getting at. She chuckled and shook her head.
"I’m all alone. "
Alaric entered.
Her ho was different from Jezebel’s. It wasn’t as big but still big enough to outshine his mansion by a whole lot.
It had dark blue walls, flowers scattered below the wall, a small goose fountain, and the area around looked like a landscaper had achieved their dreams.
"Your ho is beautiful.," Alaric complinted.
"I was told that my mum designed it mostly herself ."
"Really then she must have the mind of an artist."
She nodded enthusiastically.
"She really does, she was one of the designers of the association ."
"Thats impressive. "
Alaric couldn’t help but be surprised again, they really surprised him every single ti. The association was established four years after the dungeon’s appearance.
It is now past twenty-six years, which ans she must have been in her twenties.
"I can see what you’re thinking you know. I’m more of a lucky child born in my late thirties. "
"Still impressive. "
Samantha shook her head and smiled softly.
"You can’t be helped. My mum would have been over the moon to hear your complint."
Alaric laughed. Yeah, he would never.
"How is school going?" Alaric asked her as she opened the door.
"Pretty boring as usual, we’ve been going to C class dungeons, but it’s so hard to even get a good fight since it’s the whole class," she complained as she led him down the hallway.
She led him past the sitting area and upstairs to her room.
"Welco," she said dramatically and pushed the white door in.
Her room was different from what he had imagined. The walls and curtains were grey and the large queen bed in the middle had black covers. Almost everything in the room was black or grey.
"You really like black don’t you?" Alaric asked. He walked and sat on the couch that was facing a large TV on the wall.
"I love it, how did you imagine my room?"
She ca behind the couch and wrapped her hands around his neck.
"Maybe bright colours and bling and everything. Princess the room."
She laughed at that.
"I had that phase when I was a teenager, got over it. The number of tis I’ve changed this room."
"Actually i didn’t expect that, you got there this ti. "
She walked around and sat down next to him.
"We’ve never really sat down and talked, it’s always sex," she said, her voice low.
He nodded at that. He’s never really tried to communicate deeply with any of them. It’s always sex at first sight.
"Yeah you’re right on that, so want to watch a movie?" Alaric asked pulling her to him.
She looked up at him and smiled.
"Yeah i would live that."
"What do you want to watch, horror?"
She shook her head. Alaric picked up the remote and turned on the Tv.
"Mystery?"
"No."
"Cody."
"Sci-Fi?"
"No, you know what I want ?"
Alaric leaned back and shook his head a smile on his face.
"Those are the only things I’ve ever watched."
"Really?"
She ca up and sat on his thighs.
"Really, I’ve never watched anything different. "
Her hands ca to his ribs and pressed them.
"If you don’t admit you watch romance, I’m going to tickle you to death," she said, barely threatening.
Alaric chuckled.
"Try ?"
She started to tickle him while looking at him eagerly, but Alaric didn’t even smile, just stared at her.
"Are they made of stone?" She said after two minutes of trying unsuccessfully.
"I think so, but its your turn now."
Her eyes widened, and she tried to get out of his grasp, but he caught her before she could move away and started to tickle her.
Pearls of laughter filled the room as she struggled but to no avail.
"Alaric...haa..okay you win...haa. i can stand this anymore, " she managed wheeze out the words through the laughter.
Alaric stopped and held her as her laughter slowly died down. It was pretty fun to just spend a relaxing day with them without getting sex involved.
"Okay, we’ll watch romance. What movie do you want to see?" He asked her.
She pouted and got off him. She picked up the remote and went to sit at the end of the three-seater couch, leaving a space between them.
"I’m not taking to you, my lungs are still complaining. "
Alaric chuckled and scooted towards her until he was seated next to her. She did try to move away from his touch.
"What are we watching?"
"Love in the dungeon, it’s a new one. Heard it’s pretty popular."
She started to search for it.
"Do you want to eat anything?"
She nodded.
"Go to the fridge, I think there should be sothing inside."
Alaric kissed her on the cheek and went to look in the fridge that at the corner of her room. It was also painted black.
He opened to find soft drinks and bunches of grapes. He took both and shut the fridge behind him.
"There are snacks on the nightstand drawers."
He took three packets of potato chips. He placed everything he had brought on the glass table in front of them.
"Guess we are ready. Let’s see what falling in love inside a dungeon is all about."
He settled down next to Samantha.
He placed the washed grapes on her thighs and the opened potato chips on his.
"Why are you giving fruits instead of crisps?"
"Good for your health, grapes are also sweet," he said absentmindedly while he looked at the introductions.
She took the crips and placed the grapes forcefully on him before turning to the TV.
"What was that for?"
All he got was a scoff.
