102 Chapter 99: Are You Alright?

"OH MY GOD! THANK THE HEAVENS OF THE SKY AND EARTH!" I screamed at the top of my lungs in the open fields. IT WAS FINALLY THE BIG BREAK I WAS EXPECTING FROM ALL THE HARD WORK I'VE PUT INTO MY JOB AS A KNIGHT.

Although... little did I know.. this promotion who I thought was a blessing WAS ACTUALLY A BIG FAT CURSE. IT WAS NOTHING BUT AN ABOMINATION! AFTER WORKING FOR SO MANY YEARS FOR THE KING AND THIS IS HOW HE REPAYS ME!

Well.. that's what I screamed months ago before taking this job. I didn't expect it to be this bad but it really did exceed my expectation... IT WAS EVEN WORST THAN I HAD EXPECTED IT! DAMN IT AND THESE BITCHES INFRONT OF ME MAKE IT EVEN WORST TO DO THIS WHOLE CRAP!

My name is Timothy Jacobs. I am a crown guard for the King of Meira. A relatively peaceful kingdom, that's not currently at war with any neighboring kingdoms at the moment. I lived a pretty peaceful life, serving under the rule of the King. The old man makes some pretty good decisions that I think is the reason for the prosperity of the Kingdom.

However, this peaceful life was soon disturbed when I was promoted because apparently I was worthy to be promoted for some reason... WHICH IS TOTALLY UNTRUE BY THE WAY. I WAS A TOTAL SLACKER AT MY TIME AS A CROWN GUARD. I DIDN'T SHOW UP FOR THE REQUIRED TRAININGS AND EVEN FAILED A FEW THINGS DURING COMBAT WITH ENEMIES! I WAS RELATIVELY A MEDIOCRE KNIGHT. So I was honestly surprised when I was "promoted" to a higher rank as they said it BUT LITTLE DID I KNOW THE HARDEST STRUGGLES OF THE THIS JOB.

And here I am now, laying in my desk as I try to fall asleep but fail to do so since I still have more paperwork to do. UGH! It's not like I hate doing the paperwork or anything. THE THING I HATE IS THESE GODDAMN WORKMATES ESPECIALLY THIS ONE RIGHT HERE BEHIND ME TRYING TO SUCK OUT MY LIFE ENERGY.

"Hey! I can hear you trying to rant in your mind you know!" The woman had the nerve to fight back to me.

This woman right here who just tried to pick a fight with me is Irma Beatou. SHORT FOR IMA BEAT YOU. But all jokes aside, this woman is Anna Hanna. She's a succubus who sucks the life energy of living beings around her with sexual pleasure. Her getting on this job is beyond me, but the level of incompetency this girl possesses. IT EVEN SURPASSES ME AND I CALL MY SELF EXTREMELY LAZY.

"WELL THEN STOP READING MY MIND! I'M SAYING IT IN MY MIND BECAUSE I DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO HEAR BUT SINCE YOU GOT YOUR SPELL. IT'S NOT MY FAULT, SINCE YOU'RE ENTERING PRIVATE SPACES." I argued back to her, getting both of us in a screaming match with the third person in the room squinting at us.

"Guys! Come on! Stop fighting!" The man walked between the two of us as his cat ears flickered and turned. He puts his tail up in the air and circles it to get both of our attention. Stopping us from the screaming match.

This man with the cat ears and tail is Copper Mewstin. He's a half-human, half-beast. He's very intuitive and I don't mostly have a problem with him since he's like the one that carries the group but he can be a bit dumb when he sees catnip. ESPECIALLY SINCE CATNIP LITERALLY GROWS AROUND THE OFFICE AREA. HE WOULD HAVE THESE ATTACKS OF BEING HYPER AND JUST SCRATCH ANYONE ON SIGHT. TRUST ME IT MAY SOUND CUTE but it's not. It's like a grown man with claws scratching you open. NOT A VERY FUN experience.

"Well, it's Timothy's fault! He's legit talking crap about us in his mind. Can you at least talk crap about us like when we aren't around? Also, don't go saying that I'm the most useless one in the team cause you're the one that's useless you HUMAN!" She shouted, pointing her finger at me with those nasty pointy nails.

"Please cut those nails. Those look horrendous." I rolled my eyes, returning to my work on checking the paperwork. Totally ignoring Anna's attempts to ignore me.

"RUDE! Hmph!" She gruffed off, sitting down on her desk, with a totally annoyed expression. Copper then sighs, standing up from his desk to look at Anna. "Anna, why are you even using magic right now? Wouldn't that drain your life energy?" He raised his eyebrow on her actions.

"Don't even try to question it Copper. This girl legit does the opposite of what logic tells her to do. Totally wasting her magic on useless things is something that would really get her killed one day." I blurted out, telling Copper to not worry about her.

"Actually for your information, I was trying to communicate with headquarters. That's why I was using my telepathy magic." She denied the wasteful actions but I'm totally not buying it. SINCE WE LITERALLY HAVE A communication orb to talk with them. Using her magic is just wasteful.

And of course! I forgot what to tell you what I do for a living! Basically our job, the three of us. Are positioned in this city of Slefield. We are considered as somewhat of like a neighborhood watch for this city. Handling all the chaos that happens in this city. Usually, it's just illegal magic users or fights that happen so it's not really hard. Just dealing with these people in my workplace just makes it hard.

"Anyways, you guys are almost going to be finished with handling your jobs right?" Copper checks up on both of us.

"Does Anna even do work. All that succubus does is hang around and goof off." I rolled my eyes at her again before responding to Copper's initial question. "Yes. I'm almost about finished. Why exactly? Are we going to get an early home?"

"Oh no... heavens no. We're actually being called in the Capital. Apparently there's an emergency going on. So they are calling every station to participate in a mass meeting. Anna was actually talking to them right now and I manage to spot it when magic from another source came here." He explained to me, making me drop my jaw. NOT BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO a meeting in the capital BUT WITH ANNA ACTUALLY DOING SOMETHING.

"See told you I wasn't lying!" She giggled, looking so proud of herself. WIPE THAT SMUG LOOK OFF YOUR FACE.

"Anyways, you should finish everything up so we can get ready to head to the Capital! It's time for a road trip!" Copper said so enthusiastically..

Oh my god.. I wonder how this is going to end up happening... am I going to babysit these children again..

What is love? Well, what is it supposed to be anyways? Every time I look at couples. I always feel empty. I always feel nothing. I don't really know what's wrong with me. Every time I made an effort to feel love. I've never felt it.

"I love you!" All the countless men I've slept with and dated said to me. They always said the same things. "I'll care for you." "You're my everything." Those sugar-filled words were nothing to me. It didn't make me feel anything like at all...

I've been into countless relationships with different types of men, some of them were athletic while others were the boy next door types. I've heard everything and experienced everything there is to it about love. It's nothing but a mere game for me.

The first date I had, was a classmate from my college. He was a

We dated for a few months. He did the typical things, kissing me, hugging me, greeting me every morning with a text as we meet up in college. I was studying Business Management and he was next to me. Making love gestures in front of me. You can clearly tell that he was beaming with love that he had me but I didn't really think anything of it.
