Chapter 50: The girl with blue eyes

When I got to the empress's quarters, I was assigned to be at the entrance to the stairway. It was a significantly boring task as not many people came to visit the empress, it seemed she was not an outgoing person and she rarely mingled with people.

I still hadn't seen her face so I didn't know what she looked like.

When I asked Dan, the other mage guarding the stairway with me, he shrugged and said he didn't know what she looked like either, apparently she had suddenly started covering her face one day and she never took off the veil since then. Everyone had forgotten what her face looked like but the old ones who saw it said she was a very beautiful woman.

When I was done with my shift, I left the empress's quarters and left for the guard common room.

As I enter I saw Aaron, Liam and Emily sitting at a table, eating and discussing animatedly, Emily waved me over immediately she saw me.

I smiled and nodded at her, I went to the servers and extended my plate. A delicate hand reached out to take it from me, as the hand touched mine, a jolt of electricity moved through my body and I looked up to see who the hand belonged to.

A pretty face stared back at me, she had blonde hair and blue eyes and her cheeks became pink as she stared at me.

Thank you system for this handsome body you put me into!

I winked at her and the blush deepened as she served me with a larger than normal portion. I smiled at her with gratefulness and headed to join my friends.

When I reached the table, Liam and Aaron stared jealously at my plate.

"Damn, the waitress has a crush on you or something?" Liam asked, his eyes still not leaving my plate.

Little did he know, I fought a smile and dug into my food.

"So how did your day go?" Emily asked me.

I dropped the spoon. "it was stressful but interesting". I said.

"Tell us all about it". Emily said and I obliged, I told them about the lessons and how hard it had been for me to master the technique, i was telling about the empress and her introverted lifestyle when Zoe walked in.

Aaron saw her first and waved at her, she gave us a smile and tipped her head towards us. She was soon at the table with her food.

"Come sit with me". Liam said excitedly.

Zoe turned up her nose. "I think not". She said coldly and sat beside Emily instead.

Aaron snickered and Liam flung a pea at him.

"You two cut it out!" Emily said when Aaron grabbed a piece of jerky and wanted to fling it back.

We all swapped stories about our day and then we were done with our food. As we walked out of the common room, an idea occurred to me and I rushed back inside, I went straight to the pretty blonde server.

She looked surpised when she saw me.

"Hi". I said. Sёarch* The Novёlƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

She looked me up and down. "Hey". She drawled sensually.

"What time do you finish up here?" I asked, going straight to business.

"You want to kidnap me?" She teased.

"Would you like that?" I replied with a smile.

Her eyes glittered. "Perhaps". She folded the napkin in her hand. "I close in like one hour".

I nodded. "Good, I'll be waiting for you outside this building in exactly one hour".

I ran back outside to join the others.

"What was that about?" Liam asked as I hurriedly joined them.

"Nothing". I said and we continued our walk.

One hour later I was standing by the front of the common room, I wanted to pace around to relieve some of the tension I felt but I didn't want her to think I was nervous.

Even if you're nervous or unsure about something, you should never show it to a girl, always act as confident as possible, what's the worst that can happen?

A couple of people left the building but none of them were the girl, I started to worry that she wasn't going to show up but I couldn't go check the building to see if she was around, that would be too thirsty of me.

After a few more moments of waiting, she came out looking even more beautiful than before. She had taken off her grubby clothes and was dressed in a black gown that sat nicely on her slim body. Her blonde hair still managed to glow in the dark.

"Hi". I said with a smile as she came out.

"Hey". She replied with a smile of her own.

"I see you dolled yourself up for me". I said with a smirk.

She rolled her eyes but her smiled remained. "Don't be presumptuous".

I put my hand to my chest in mock solemnity. "Never".

She laughed.

"My name is Levi by the way". I said.

"Bella". She replied.

"Cute name". I said.

She laughed. "Are there any non cute names?"

"Of course". I replied. "Take Michael for example, definitely not cute".

She frowned and stopped walking. "My brother's name is Michael".

Uh oh.

I wanted to apologize and say I didn't mean it when she suddenly burst into laughter. "I'm just pulling your legs, Michael is a totally weird name".

I smirked.

Pulling my legs hug? Soon you'll be pulling my.. okay let's focus.

"So where do you want to go?" She asked me.

"Actually I was thinking you'll show me around, since I'm new here". I replied.

"Sure". She said. "Let's go to my favorite spot".

"I have a secret". I said to her. "See, I have a medical condition actually".

She peered at me intently. "Oh, what is it?"

"Well, I have balance problems. So I need to rest on a beautiful for support every now and then". I said as I slid my arm around her shoulder and leaned on her.

She rolled her eyes but her smile grew wider.

Everything is rizz when you're attractive.
