17 Chapter 17 (2/2)
She woke up a few minutes after he was done and immediately blushed, she wanted to scold herself for crossing the line...
'He's probably angry at me...' She thought sadly, but would she give up? Never! She has been working under Alexis nearly half of her entire lifetime...
She knew him the best and she knew that underneath his cold exterior was someone who cared...
Alexis wouldn't admit to this and he would even laugh mockingly at her but she knows more about him than he does about himself...
'But he is still my highness!' She told herself with a smile.
Florestine then got up and fixed the bed, she quietly came out and started doing her regular chores which she loved to do...
”How was your sleep?” Alexus asked her, she turned to Alexis who was leaning on the door with his eyes closed and a smirk on his face.
”I-I-I” She stuttered as Alexis chuckled in amusement and walked upto her, he passed her and grabbed a glass and eventually filled it up with water.
”Why are you so scared of me?” He asked her while keeping his mouth on the edge of the glass, his eyes had a glint of mischief...
”I'm not scared of you... idiot...” She mumbled to herself with a pout and glared at him with teary eyes.
”You do realise that I can hear everything right?” Alexis asked her with the same smirk, he drank the water and placed it on the table.
He then walked upto her, Florestine blushed and looked down seeing him come closer to her, Alexis stopped right infront of her.
'W-What is he g-going to do??' She panicked while her face was turning beat red.
Alexis then cupped her chin and made her look straight into his eyes, she avoided his gaze and rolled her emerald green eyes away from his own red eyes...
”Hmm... why do you avoid me?” Alexis asked her curiously, he didn't know what he was doing but something told him that he did the right thing.
”Or are you just shy infront me?” He whispered into her ear as her eyes became glazed and her breathing became ragged.
'...My body is moving on it's own!' He panicked inwardly as he pecked her soft and smooth red lips lightly...
”You..You... AHH!!” Florestine screamed in embarrassment, slapped him the face and ran away.
Alexis stood in the same spot he was...
'...What am I doing?' He facepalmed and shook his head...
He then went back to his room while rubbing his reddened cheek that had the imprint of her palm, and tweaked with the blueprint, Florestine stared at his back as he walked into his room.
'His Highness...' She thought sadly...
Alexis had finally gotten the mechanism... now he had to give it to the Science foundation... if Magnus comes, his group of scientists and Alexis would perfect the bolt action rifle...
Very soon, he would be able to equip his secret army with the rifle and later on make certain additions such as scopes, smokeless gunpowder and suppressors effectively turning a few of them into assassination squads...
This would help him in the long run... for now he would work hard and once he had finished his Quest, Alexis would disappear from the known world and live the rest of his immortal life care freely in a mansion hidden from society... or atleast that was his plan...
'...why did I pick Immortality?' He asked himself and sighed.
'Soon I'll be alone if this keeps on going... heh, maybe I got too attached to a few people...' He thought and walked over the window and stared at the starry night sky...
'I hope the system will be able to help me then...' He nodded his head and put off the oil lamps.
Alexis then heard someone knock on his door.
”Come in...” Alexis ordered as Florestine came into his room wearing a nightgown, her hair was somewhat wet, droplets of water trailed down her neck as her dark blue hair glistened in the light...
”What do you want Florestine?” He asked his maid who was looking down.
”I would like to sleep with your highness tonight...” She said in a barely audible voice, Alexis' eyes widened but he overcame his shock...
”...Do as you please...” He sighed and said without looking at her and got into the bed and covered himself up with the thick quilt.
He sensed Florestine get in and closed eyes...
”what are you doing?” He asked her sleepily while his eyes were closed, Alexis felt her hands wrap around him.
”...I would like to stay like this with your highness, I'm only going to get older... while you will become a young man, just thinking about it makes me sad... please let me stay like this...” She begged him, her voice quivering in sadness...
”...Florestine, would you like to live longer then?” He asked her.
”...Don't give me hope, your highness... even if I do live longer what about you and everyone else? But if your highness too will also be able to live longer, then I would, for as long as I get to stay with your highness forever...” She whispered and hugged him tighter as if Alexis would go from her grasp, He sighed.
'System, is it... possible?' Alexis asked his partner.
[Host, if I had updated only once, it would have been impossible, but now there is an option like that! However keep in mind that only one person can become immortal just like you! It may increase once you update the system but that will take ten years...]
'Very well... proceed with it...' Alexis sighed.
[Very well Host... To turn her into an Immortal, you need give her a kiss]
'What...?' Alexis asked the system.
[That is the only requirement Host, You may not notice it but you have feelings for your maid and vice versa, kissing her would bind her to you thereby making her an pseudo-immortal...]
The system explained as Alexis blushed.
'...Fine' He replied with an irritated expression and turned to Florestine.
”Your highne- mhm!!” Her eyes were wide open, Alexis kissed her, this wasn't the simple peck she received a while ago, this was more intense and infinitely better, according to her...
He tightly held her hands in place and got on top of her, his body weight pressed on her as they battled for dominance with their lips, her legs wrapped around his waist instinctively. ..
She wriggled and moaned under him as Alexis released her and breathed heavily, he then wiped his mouth and went to sleep.
[haHaHAHAHAHA YOU ACTUALLY DID IT!]
The system shouted inside his head, Alexis covered himself up with the quilt.
'Shut up, is she an immortal now?' He asked the system.
[Host... she was already an immortal when you were talking to me!]
'WHAT!?' Alexis shouted at him.
[I helped Host with your romantic relationship, aren't you going to thank me?]
The system asked him, Alexis trembled in anger.
”ARGH! THAT STUPID SYSTEM!” He shouted as Florestine who was in daze yelped...
”Sorry...” Alexis apologised to Florestine who then sighed and hugged him.
”What are you doing?” He asked her.
”Is that how you stop yourself from being embarrassed?” Florestine asked Alexis who went quiet, she then giggled and closed her eyes...
'...What am I going to do now?' Alexis asked himself.
[How about dating, Host?]
The system suggested as Alexis' eyebrow twitched.
'You... shut up' he said and went to sleep...
