89 Chapter 89: Second Meeting (1/2)
The next morning, the light that emerged into the room woke Caesar up. His eyelashes fluttered as he opened his eyes and yawned loudly.
He could feel something slightly heavy on his chest, so he tore the covers off of his body and could see that Ahri was comfortably nestling atop his chest.
Caesar smiled wryly and gently brushed Ahri's hair for a few minutes before her eyes abruptly opened up, she raised her upper body and rubbed her sleepy eyes… her folded ears on top of her sleepy expression created quite the cute image.
”Good morning, no, good afternoon” Caesar whispered softly as he also raised his upper body.
”Good afternoon, how come you came to my room last night?” she asked, still half-asleep.
”I can't seem to fall asleep without you in my bed…” Caesar said teasingly as he got out of bed and stretched his limbs.
Ahri, who was now fully awake, examined Caesar closely before giggling, ”liar, you probably forgot where your room was”
Caesar's actions momentarily halted as he looked at Ahri with surprise… a woman's intuition was indeed dreadful.
”Haha, did I get it right?” Ahri asked playfully as she got out of bed and walked to her closet to pick out a few pieces of clothing, her past embarrassment of being nearly nude in front of Caesar was practically gone.
Caesar didn't respond and just smiled wryly, he took out a luxurious suit that was dyed black with red pinstripes, the stripes were delicately engraved into the suit and looked similar to chains. He finished off the suit with silk gloves, brushed his hair, and sat back down on the bed.
By the time he was finished dressing, Ahri was also dressed up in an elegant looking kimono... it was raven black with a burgundy sash around her waist.
”You are certainly looking excellent today… whats the occasion?” Ahei asked curiously, Caesar didn't always dress so nicely.
”Haha, I'm going to be the center of attention today, naturally, I have to look the part” Caesar replied while chuckling softly.
*knock*
*knock*
Suddenly, loud knocking interrupted their conversation and a respectful voiced sounded out from behind the door.
”Empress, your grandfather has called another meeting... ”
*creak*
Caesar opened the door and surprised the young maid, he examined her face for a moment and realized it was the exact same maid that had spotted him and Musashi last night.
She had medium length brown hair and was probably only about 4 ft tall, she looked up at Caesar with surprise and glanced between him and Ahri for a few seconds before blushing furiously.
”T-two timin-” before she could finish her words, Caesar put his hand over her mouth and radiated a deep killing intent.
He leaned toward her and whispered in her ear, ”don't create a misunderstanding, who knows how hard it will be to explain to her”
The maid nodded her head enthusiastically, seeing this, Caesar let go of her mouth and could see two small streams of blood exit her nose.
”S-sorry, I'll be more careful next time,” she said while bowing apologetically.
Ahri was a few feet away from Caesar walked up and glanced between Caesar and the maid skeptically… ”you two know each other?” she asked.
”Negative, she just reminded me of someone I knew back in Rahvin kingdom... ” Caesar explained with a calm smile.
