Chapter 33: First Time

All five of them leaned back against their chairs, their muscles loose as they chatted about random things that were going on in Auberg district. They stayed at the place until midnight and spent a total of 2 Zen, which Brandon took care of.To Keith's own surprise, he was the one who was unable to walk straight even though the others drank more than him. He took a few unstable steps to the front, the right and then trotted backwards before falling to the ground.

"Oh god...." he said out loud and then laughed at himself for a good minute before closing his eyes.

Amelia was the first one to notice that he was fast asleep and helped him up with Clara's help. But just as she was about to leave, she heard Brandon behind her.

"Hey, you've been rejecting me for years! Why don't you come to my house this night?"

Hearing his words, she sighed as her eyes slowly focused on her surroundings, the alcohol in her body was quickly ejected out of the pores in her body like sweat.

She then turned around to look at him, "If you change the way you went about women, maybe you'll find someone who'd want to spend their life with you. I'll only give my virginity to someone who wishes to marry me. It's a simple thing but you're still so stubborn."

"Hey, life is fleeting. I don't want to die like a dog, leaving my kids and wife without a father."

"And that's where our ideologies differ. I want a husband and you just want a nice one night stand." she retorted before leaving Brandon and Edward behind. Once the two of them carried Keith out, they stopped.

Clara looked at Amelia and let out a hiccup, "Hic. Should we just take him to our house?"

"Yeah let's do that..." Amelia responded with a serious expression on her face which she rarely showed, 'It's better to keep him with us compared to leaving him in Adam's house. I must find a way to tell Keith about him without sounding like an idiot.'

As she thought about Adam and the Keith, the new friend she had made, she couldn't help but sigh, 'Things would have been different if Keith wasn't good looking. Looks like both of us were born with gifts that could turn into a curse at any time.'

She then let out a wry smile as she thought about the past events. One guy who was in power just randomly fancied her which led to her being kicked out of her family.

'Even though father didn't wish to, he had no choice. And now I must walk around without my last name.'

Clara who was on the other side, supporting Keith's weight, heard Amelia sigh loudly and let out a slight knowing smile.

"Are you thinking about the prince again?"

"Bah, who'll think about that asshole? I was just worried about Keith... and hmm." she paused and turned to look at the girl whom she considered as a big sister. The gears in her mind went on an overdrive as she glanced at Keith who was clearly knocked out.

Then she grinned, "Hey Clara, do you really have to listen to your father and marry that ugly baronet? I mean, he has two wives and seven concubines... it's clear that he simply wants you for sexual purposes."

"The marriage has been fixed and I will keep my promise to my father. I don't really like that man, but I will do what I must. After all, I swore on Goddess Seraphina and I will honour it." she said adamantly, but Amelia had different thoughts.

She nodded and agreed with Clara before giving her an imaginary scenario, "Well, alright. But just in case you never promised anything, would you pick Keith or that Baronet? I mean, just look at this guy... he might have a sly tongue, but he's such a caring man. He's also so damn good looking and he doesn't have an ability similar to mine."

Hearing her words, Clara's face went red as she glanced at Keith.

"Come on, answer me!"

".... I'll pick Keith, but there's no way he'd be okay with taking someone like me. My chest is too big and doesn't look good compared to yours, and even my backside isn't any better. I might have an above average face, but there's a reason why so many people rejected me even though I have such valuable awakened ability."

Amelia grinned and was unable to control her facial expression as she pushed Clara even more.

"You know, yesterday during my shift with Keith, we talked about the kind of girls he likes. And guess what? He directly told me that he'd pick you over me and I was using my ability on him back then. Surprisingly, it had no effect on him, which means that he barely has any kind of sexual thoughts when it comes to me." she said and paused before asking Clara another question.

"Do you know what that means?"

"...."

"You promised to marry that fat pig, but you never promised that you'll stay faithful to him. At least not before your marriage. Why don't you try your shot with Keith and see if he wants to do it or not? You should have some confidence in yourself."

Clara stayed silent and said nothing, to which Amelia sighed, thinking that she had failed. But the moment they brought Keith into their house, Clara grabbed a glass of water and sprinkled some on Keith's face.

Keith didn't not have much of a change as he simply frowned in his sleep. Seeing this, she was about to give up when Amelia grabbed the glass and poured all the contents on Keith's face, waking him up in an instant. seaʀᴄh thё nôvel_Fire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Seeing that it worked, she pushed Clara onto Keith who was already on the floor and heard her whisper a few words to Keith while blushing hard.

Keith, who was clearly intoxicated, stared at her for a few seconds and let out a silly smile.

"Hehehe, come here then."
