Chapter 90: Second day on the job

Damon propped himself up on one elbow. "So, tell me. In detail this time".I sighed. "Before I came here, I lived on a farm".

"A farm?" Damon repeated, slightly surprised.

I gave a small nod.

"I lived with my adopted family there. Then I had an accident one day and woke up with no previous memory of who I was". The lie rolled off my tongue easily.

Damon was listening intently at this point. "Go on". He said.

I shrugged. "I still don't remember anything till date, but it must have triggered my magic somehow because I didn't have any mama before the accident and I do now".

Damon nodded. "That's weird but also interesting".

We kept the conversation up until Damon dozed off on the bed.

I watched with surprise and slight irritation as his chest rose and fell with every breath he took.

However the sleeping fever hit me too and I found myself nodding off.

I placed my head on the desk and closed my eyes, I gave in to the embrace of the darkness.

****

A ruffling sound made me wake and I looked up to see Damon was rousing awake.

He sat up on the bed and looked at me sleepily for a moment.

Then he got off the bed as stretched. He walked to the door and I got out of the chair. Sёarch* The nôvel_Fire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Am I supposed to follow you?"

Damon regarded me with an amused look. "No, I'll be fine. Resume early tomorrow".

I nodded and sat back down.

"I was being sarcastic". He said with an exasperated sigh and stepped out of the room.

I gritted my teeth. In a way this promotion felt more like a hassle, i prefered it much better at my previous duty.

At least there I got to have hours of the day where I was alone and didn't talk to anybody, as opposed to being stuck with arrogant child.

I headed out after him.

Damon pushed open his door and entered his room. I entered behind him.

I was tired of the way Damon was behaving so I decided I too was going to annoying in my own way.

I immediately headed for his bed and plopped down on it.

Damon watched me in silence for a moment, I think he didn't know how to feel about my forwardness and disregard.

After a while he smirked a little and went to sit at the chair opposite the bed.

"I see you have a lot of spunk". He said.

"Ditto". I replied.

Just then there was a knock on the door, preventing him from replying me.

Damon looked at the door and looked back at me. I rolled my eyes. "I'm your guard not a servant".

Damon let a sigh. "Who is it?"

"It me Amelia". A tiny feminine voice replied from the other side of the door.

Damon frowned when he heard that. "Come in". He said.

The other creaked as it swung open and the princess entered the room.

Her gown was a masterpiece of elegance and sophistication, a study in contrast and texture.The dress itself was fashioned from a soft, shimmering silk that flowed over her curves with a gentle grace, its fabric catching the light and shimmering with each step she took.The bodice was tight-fitting and adorned with delicate, hand-stitched floral patterns, the colorful embroidery adding depth and texture to the garment.

I tried not to make it obvious that I was staring at her.

The princess glanced at me once and looked back at Damon.

"I need one of your rings". She said to him.

Damon eyed her. "You still haven't returned the one you took last week".

"I keep forgetting". Amelia said with a coy smile.

"Yet you didn't forget to come ask for another one". Damon replied.

Amelia giggled. "What can I say?"

Damon muttered and shook his head as he got up from the chair and walked to his closet.

He opened the closet and peered inside it. "Which one do you want?"

"The sapphire one". Amelia replied and Damon withdrew his head from the closet with and incredulous look on his face.

"That one is a gift from the king of Tolan". He exclaimed.

"I'll return it I promise". Amelia pleaded earnestly.

Damon let out an exhale of resignation and went back to rummaging through the closet.

I went back to staring at the princess, staring at her thin lips, coated in red lipstick, at her rosy cheeks, my eyes slipped downwards from her face and went to her neck, then her chest and then her cleavage.

I heard a sharp gasp and looked up hastily. The princess was looking directly at me and she knew I was checking her out.

She had caught me red handed.

Damon came out of the closet with the ring in his hand.

"Why did you gasp?" He asked her, his eyes searching her face curiously.

The princess's face heated up but she smiled. "It was nothing".

"Hmmm". Damon said as he handed her the ring.

"Thank you brother". She said and threw her hands around him in a hug.

"Okay, okay". Damon said as he extracted himself from the hug and turned her around. "Door's that way".

Princess Amelia giggled lightly as she left the room.

Damon looked at me with a tired look on his face and I shrugged.

Later that night, I was in my room. I finally had the chance to update my profile.

The past few days had been hectic and they blurred into each other, I hadn't been able to upgrade my abilities since I had sex with Zoe.

I looked at my profile.

[Here's your profile]

[Name: Levi]

[Level: 3]

[Title: One star mage, Beast Slayer]

[Strength: 35]

[Intelligence: 30]

[Stamina: 31]

[Speed: 35]

[Mana: 510/1000]

[Element: Air]

[Lust points: 820]

My eyes widened, I didn't know I had acquired so much lust points. It was time to distribute it however.

I pushed my strength and speed to 40 each. That left me with 520 points.

Then I pushed my stamina to 40 as well, it's no use being fast if you gas out too early in a fight.

I now had 250 points less. I could either round up my intelligence to 40 as well, or increase my strength by 6.

I eventually settled on increasing my intelligence, I needed to be at my best wits if I was going to survive the crazy missions the system was giving me.

That left me with 10 lust points.

[Leveling up]

[Congratulations, you've leveled up]

My new profile was.

[Here's your profile]

[Name: Levi]

[Level: 4]

[Title: One star mage, Beast Slayer]

[Strength: 40]

[Intelligence: 40]

[Stamina: 40]

[Speed: 40]

[Mana: 510/1000]

[Element: Air]

[Lust points: 10]

I nodded satisfactorily. I still needed a way to fight more beast titans but for now, I was steadily improving.

The next morning I was in Damon's room, watching him eat.

I already ate earlier in the morning, it was one of the perks of being his guard, a plain faced maid had knocked on my door and entered with a tray of food.

She dropped it and hurried off before I could say a word. I watched her jiggling behind and made a note to talk to her later.

Damon was eating like the world's slowest grandma. He would take a spoon and move the hand to his mouth like he was reluctant to do so.

Then he would swallow the spoonful and drop the spoon for a short while. Then he would repeat the entire movement again.

It was while he was on his tenth spoon that another knock sounded on the door.

"Who's there?" Damon replied with some degree of irritation in his voice.

"It's me". A deep voice replied and Damon sat up straighter.

"Come in". He called and the crown Prince, Juan, entered the room.
