Chapter 56: A strange sight 2

He was not very tall, around 175cm. However had a strikingly attractive face that calling him handsome felt like an understatement. He was pretty, almost in a feminine way.

His blond hair was slicked back and he wore a green top and green pants. The maid carried a tray of food in her hand and she seemed extra timid today so I stopped her.

"What's in the tray?" I asked even though I already knew what was there.

"Food". She replied in a tiny voice.

"Who is he?" I asked.

"He's a friend, come to see the empress". She said in a tone that made me suspect something was amiss.

"What kind of friend comes late in the evening without an official permit and dressed like that?" I asked.

The maid looked at me with surpised eyes. "You're new here". She said. "This is protocol. She has friends over every now and then".

I could see there was more to the statement but she seemed to have a slightly worried look about so I didn't push further.

"Okay but I'll have to search him". I said.

She nodded and I went to the guy. "Raise your hands". I said and he complied.

I then went on to search him thoroughly. When I could find nothing that could cause potential harm to the empress, I waved them in.

You can go in now.

The maid and the blond guy nodded and went to the door, they knocked.

"Come in". A hoarse voice called from inside the bedroom. I realized that was the first time i would be hearing the empress's voice. S~eaʀᴄh the Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

The maid pushed the door open and motioned for the guy to enter first, he did and she walked in after him. That was when I noticed her butt. It was alluring. A huge mountain that trembled with each step she took.

Damn, you were hiding all that back there?

I made a mental note to look at her face clearly so I could remember it and talk to her later.

After a few minutes, the maid emerged, alone and without the tray.

I frowned. "Where's the guy?"

The maid looked at me with exasperation. "Look I don't know who you are but there's a way things are done in the empress's quarters. It would be wiser if you observed more and talk less. Don't put any of us in trouble".

With that, she stormed off.

I was confused. I was only interested in the man inside because of the empress's safety. After all I was tasked with guarding her. Nothing like this had happened since I'd been deployed to her quarters and it was happening now that I was in charge of her door. Was I wrong to ask questions pertaining to her safety?

Then it hit me. The reason why she was being so sneaky and quiet about the whole ordeal.

The man inside was not just a friend as she had said. He must be some kind of concubine or escort the empress hired. That was why she was being careful with the entire thing.

The empress had a sexual partner in the room with her at the moment and they were about to engage in activities. A perverted part of me wanted to look, to see how it would play out. It was also a way for me to finally see what she looked like since she wouldn't be doing all that with her veil on.

I shook the thought off. If I did it and someone caught me, it would mean the end. Maybe not just for my career but for my life as well. Who knew what lengths they would go to to prevent the secret from coming out.

Just then the screen flashed.

[You have a new mission]

[Mission: Spy on the empress]

[Reward: Skill, six directional windslam]

I stared at the screen in amazement. At the academy we were still at four, going to six immediately would give me a huge boost over the rest.

I looked around the corner. It was empty and it didn't seem like anyone was coming anytime soon, the empress rarely got visitors.

I could sneak a quick peak and be done with it, my mission would be complete then.

I decided I would do it but I would wait a few more minutes so they could be fully engrossed before peaking.

After a few moments, I sneaked to the door and peaked through the keyhole.

Inside, the empress was standing, she was still dressed in her long flowing gown and veil, the guy however was shirtless and sitting on the bed. They were kissing passionately and the empress ran her hands down his bare body as her tongue traveled down his throat.

Lucky bastard. I thought as I watched.

Then something happened, the empress stood up and motioned for the guy to stand up, he did and she spun him around and she bent him over. I frowned, wasn't it supposed to be happening in the reverse case?

The empress took off his pants completely, leaving him bent over naked. She then began to fiddle with her crotch. I watched on in confusion, was she doing what I thought she was?

I pulled my eyes away from the keyhole quicky, unwilling to see how the rest of the scenario played out. I hoped what I saw was enough to satisfy the system and even if it wasn't, I didn't care, I would rather lose the reward.

[Mission completed]

[Reward; Six directional windslam]

I sighed with relief.
