Chapter 15: Chapter 15 First Target
Aiden pushed the door open and walked inside the room. It was really spacious but practically empty, except for a bed and a wardrobe, not that he needed anything more.
This was medieval times; with the exception of magic, and Aiden had accepted that, unlike in the real world, where it was convenient with AC and a smartphone, but at least he wasn’t poor in this world, he knew as a Head Priest, he would at least be a little rich.
Aiden sat down on the bed, leaving the door open. He wanted to know when the priestess would arrive since he wanted to eat first, before taking his bath.
’What if all of this was a dream? If it is, this is a good time to wake up’ Aiden mumbled as he lay on the bed closing his eyes.
[Really, you’re on the precipice of something this big and all you can think about is waking up from a dream, won’t you be angry if this was a dream]
’Why would I be? To be honest I know all of this is good, no one would want to miss the opportunity to use magic, defy the laws of physics, but all of these are still a little strange, and it’ll be strange if it wasn’t’
[Well you’re right, but for now you have to... look up]
’You mean look forward to the things I’ll do, and I know...’
[No, I mean look up right now]
Aiden stood up, and one of the priestesses was walking towards him. Aiden froze on the bed as he stared at her.
’Elf...is that an elf’
[Well, well, well, let the games begin]
Aiden watched as she walked towards him and finally stepped inside the room. She bowed her head slightly with a smile on her face as she spoke.
"Your Holiness,"
Aiden couldn’t help but stare at her; he felt the same way he did in front of the goddess.
She was absolutely gorgeous with long blonde hair neatly braided into two thick plaits that rested over her shoulders. A delicate white veil covered her head, trimmed with fine lace that framed her face elegantly.
Her eyes were emerald green, carrying a certain warmth that matched the smile on her lips. A faint blush colored her smooth cheeks, and her skin was flawless, almost like she was created specially by the goddess.
Finally her most defining feature which was her long ears that immediately told Aiden she was an elf.
She raised her head to look at Aiden as he didn’t answer her the first time, "Your Holiness?" She muttered again snapping Aiden out of his trance.
"Oh yes, how are you doing?" Aiden replied without thinking.
"I’m doing well, what about Your Holiness?" She replied.
"I’m doing fine as well"
"I was told to prepare a bath and cook, which would you like done first?" She asked.
"I’d like to eat first, but before that what is your name?" Aiden asked.
"I’m Miraleth Your Holiness" she replied, and Aiden nodded.
[Affection Sense]
[Target: Elf Miraleth]
[Total Affection Level: 30%]
’Ohh, I can definitely work with this, 30% affection isn’t that bad since the rest of them are really low, or maybe she’s just naturally kind’
Aiden smiled as he got off the bed and began walking towards her, stopping just a few steps away from where she stood, "Miraleth is such a beautiful name, also you don’t have to look so nervous" Aiden spoke with a small chuckle.
She blinked letting out a tiny laugh. It was quiet and Aiden almost missed it but it made him smile even more.
"I’m not nervous Your Holiness, it’s just my first time serving a Head Priest" She replied.
"I see, then when we’re alone like this, you don’t have to be so formal since you know I just became the head priest today, you can call me Aiden"
Miraleth’s expression froze for a moment before she finally shook her head, "I’m afraid I can’t do that, it wouldn’t be proper"
Aiden let out an exaggerated sigh, making his disappointment obvious. "I had a feeling you were going to say that."
His reaction caught her off guard and she finally raised her head facing Aiden, "Your Holiness is... quite different from what I imagined."
"Ohh, what did you imagine, I would be strict and difficult to talk to?" Aiden spoke and she bowed her head again, "Don’t worry, I’m not going to scold you"
"Your Holiness is quite easy to talk to," She replied, and before Aiden could reply the system screen came on.
[Affection Level: +3%]
[Target: Elf Miraleth]
[Total Affection Level: 33%]
Aiden’s eyes widened a little. He was surprised that her affection increased after a conversation, but that was exactly what he was aiming for. The moment this elf appeared in front of him, Aiden had one thing on his mind and he wasn’t done yet.
"Can I ask you something Miraleth?"
"Of course, Your Holiness" She replied almost immediately.
"Are all elves as beautiful as you, or are you the exception?" Aiden asked, of course he knew elves were great beauties, but right now, he didn’t care about anything other than the elf in front of him.
Miraleth’s eyes widened in surprise, a blush spread across her cheek, leaving a faint reddish glow on her face, and she quickly looked away.
"M- Me?" She stuttered as she spoke, "I’m not... that beautiful, I have sisters more beautiful than I am." She muttered in a low voice.
"Wow, then your standards must be extremely high because I’ve never seen anyone as beautiful as you," Aiden
She lowered her head even more, trying to hide the obvious smile on her lips, "You really say strange things, Your Holiness"
"What’s strange about telling the truth"? Aiden spoke with a smile on his face.
Other than his tongue, the body Aiden occupied was extremely handsome, but he was a little dirty from waking up on the battlefield. Still, the elf saw nothing other than a Head Priest who was happy to talk to her.
[Affection Level: : 10%]
[Target: Elf Miraleth]
[Total Affection Level: 43%]
