1228words
Lict, are we buddies again? Melissa smiled as she leaned towards him, I know you still like me, and I like you too. We are friends, you and I—
Listen, Melissa, Lict interrupted, One day it'll be just you and me on a battlefield in the blank space. Someone would have to lose and I don't want to be that someone. So assume whatever you want to because I know you won't listen to my opinions about you anyways, that's just how you are. So, I won't say anything except that when it's time, I won't hesitate to kill you.
This got really depressing. But I like this Lict. I'd love to place an order often!
It's fine. That is far away from now. Melissa smiled but Lict didn't.
Then, let's introduce ourselves. Melissa's demigod suggested and brought his right hand forward. I brought my left hand forward. I could touch people using this because it was covered. He looked at me awkwardly and maybe he was annoyed.
Trust me, I have my reasons, I assured him that I'm not as retarded as he thought I was.
I'm Vierne Obolensky. The heir to the princely Obolensky family of the Rurik dynasty and the daughter of the late earl, Avgustin Obolensky. I introduced myself just like I used to when I was a child. You see, I was proud, and I found it absolutely necessary to make others know that I was proud.
I thought he'd be intimidated, but he just shook my hand as if my words meant nothing to him—This peasant! I'm Akagi Scheczalier. I'm a novelist. I guess that's all. I will tell you what happened next, I froze. I squeezed his hand so tight that I think he might have died due to lack of blood circulation lest I hadn't been stopped timely. He looked at his hand, which was begging him to save it as it had turned as pale as my face.
Could you please leave my hand? He requested, rudely.
Introduce yourself again.
I'm Akagi Scheczalier.
No, you're not.
Yes, I am.
No, you're not.
Yes, I am.
I fainted.
Milady!
Oh lord. I've grown weak to surprises. I just remember being carried to my room. I don't know who it was—As if! I know it was my butler! Why is he doing this? Because he obviously doesn't care for me. He just wants this magnificent body of mine! I suddenly opened my eyes and Lict was above me.
What are you doing? I narrowed my eyes. He was taking advantage of an unconscious and helpless woman—What a lowlife!
I was covering you with a blanket, Milady, He smiled.
I will do it myself! I snatched the blanket from him and ended up shredding it with my right hand.
Oh no, what a waste. He picked up the pieces and brought them together There, it's just as if it's all new again.
Listen, I don't want to sleep in the daylight. I wasn't a fowl! What was this heathen even thinking by suggesting something as vile as that! But then I jolted up, Where's Lord Akagi?
Lord?
I pushed the musical mess away and jumped out of my bed. I ended up twisting my foot and fell flat on the floor. Well, I almost did but Lict pulled me up and I fell into his lap.
Are you okay, Milady? He inquired as I sat on his lap. He looked at my foot and said, Does it hurt?
Ah— We both looked ahead as someone peeped from the crack of the door. It was Melissa.
Can I join? She asked. Did she want to twist her leg too? I've read hundreds of novels but never once in my fantasy world of bookish imagination did I encounter a creature such as Melissa herself. That's how fresh she was in my life.
Are you guys interested in a threesome? She asked. What is a threesome? Is it something like handsome but three times more? If it were then I think Lict needed it more than me.
Just then, Lord Akagi came to the door.
Why are you guys fucking with the door open? He asked.
We're not! Yes Lict, tell them!
And why are you letting her peep? Is this some kind of weird fetish?
I didn't let her peep, she came just now! Yes Lict, tell them!
Lord Akagi turned towards Melissa, What are you thinking?
A foursome sounds nice too. He dragged her out of the room by her ear.
Ah—Lord Akagi, your autograph... I murmured. Oh nevermind, he'd be here tonight too. That's when I'd ask him to give me an autograph. I'd ask Lict to arrange a dinner for him. I looked at my leg, and you know what—It healed already. I've not felt so non-human in a while. Fear me, mortals!
I had forced Lord Akagi to spend the night at the mansion. You rats might wonder why I call him Lord Akagi. Well, because he is my lord. His books have the power to drive me away from my daily boredom to a world where only he and I exist. And I will tell you what, I purchased his books when they first came out and turned the market upside down. I remember that era, when the banners of his books used to cover Moscow streets and so many shows, came out within a year—Sadly, I couldn't watch them since I have no television with me. I have been a loyal fan since the beginning and my loyalty paid off!
I couldn't believe that my idol was sitting right before me, devouring the same Zakuski as me. He looked so wholesome—A man that could win any woman's heart at first sight. He had everything I wanted in a man. Firstly, he was a man and he looked like it! He had those broad shoulders and back that I wanted to hug. I had a big, fat crush on him. I was just drooling at his sight while eating my food.
Then, I saw Lict and choked.
Milady,
I swear I didn't do anything wrong!
Okay? Do you want seconds?
No,
Wait—Why am I explaining myself? This is my house! I can do whatever I want and I shall stare at whoever I want to! Nobody can stop me!
Vierene, He called my name! Lord Akagi called my name! Even though he pronounced it wrong, he said it in his manly voice! I was embarrassed. Nobody had called me by my name for so many years. I turned red, Yes, Lord Akagi?
Quit staring at me, will you? You've been acting dangerously straight and I'm genuinely concerned about your motives. Listen, woman, I don't care if you're straight or bi or a goddamn lesbian for God's sake but when you do all this staring and creepy-ass shit to me, it makes me extremely uncomfortable. So, I'm gonna ask you to stop right now.
A young girl has dreams but this man, he doesn't have a heart! I got up, I like you! I shouted, shamelessly. There, now it's not creepy anymore.
