From Slave To Ruler

"Alright but now we really need to discuss your safety." He pointed out with a bit of concern in his tone while pulling her chair for her, gesturing for her to sit there again.

"Yes yes, you do have strong point." She replies while actually sitting on her chair, accepting his act of kindness(or gentlemaness) and even agreeing to his words again. It was fair to say that she was getting more comfortable around him, something that you won't see her experience very often. She doesn't exactly get along with most people unless she is forced to give respect to stronger authorities, people of bigger power.

It is not like she works based on personal interest, she is just very picky with people. She doesn't like how they waste their time on petty matters. Such a gambling, rumors, back bitte, gossip, etc etc. Ironic considering that she is a private eye, I know. But she simply doesn't like those sort of people. Perverts are out of the question.

While people of richer standards commonly don't have such toxic personality traits, she still doesn't like some of them. Her employer and co-workers back at Salmon River Kingdom however, she has a lot of respect for most of them. In here eyes, they are people worth the time.

"Wow you are actually agreeing with me more these days!" He replied in a playful manner as she walked away from the chair once she sat, to give her some personal space. And Z did notice what he was doing, her heart was smiling and her face even more.

"Well you are ideas aren't completely awful." She joked around with a little bit of blush still remaining above her cheeks, shining Red around her freckles.

In aims to tease her a bit more, to get it out of his system so he can focus more. He asked, "Do you want me to sit in my chair again?"

With her face becoming a little bit more red after it finally started to calm down, but just a little red compared to what she experienced earlier. She replied while waving her hands from left to right in front of her. "No no no, please I insist. If standing on your feet makes you feel more comfortable, you can do as you please."

Her tone was even more adorable. When she became shy like this, her tone usually cracked a lot while she spoke. It was something that was far beyond her control, but a personality trait that Dalerus would walk 100 kilometers for, just to hear her. It was the cutest thing you could ever imagine.

Giving her one final tease, Dalerus proceeded to say. "Hehehehehe. Get over your shyness oh tough miss Z. You are softer than i ever pictured you." 

"I am not soft!" She replied with a bit of a grumpy face, trying to fight her own large smile away in order to seem more intimidating, it roughly worked. 

"And if the word about this goes through anyone's ears, I will cut your fingers off." she replied while toying with the special knife on her hand, which she was quick enough to place on the table right before she went above that same table. Thankfully neither that ridiculously sharp knife along with the table didn't follow them once she accidentally fell.

"Right don't worry about that. At least we can both agree that you were extremely shy due to this little accident." He replied with a lot of confidence and also in smaller aims of teasing her while he was holding his arms crossed, standing six feet tall.

Now he knows that there are at least a little bit of feelings to talk about when it comes to him and her. He was sure of it now, it was all over her face. But he decided to leave that topic for another day for now and focus on the main motive(At least main motive for him, her safety!). She got way too shy for the day, it's best to leave this topic unbothered for now. "So what do you have in mind?"

"About what." She replied with a joyful sigh, unintentionally zoning out. When she fell over him, she accidentally got to feel his c.h.e.s.t. And damn it was tough like a rock and very wide. Although, he didn't exactly notice that she felt his c.h.e.s.t because he was too focused on her red face and too busy laughing, she specifically got even more red once she felt it.

"About your safety!" He slightly yelled as he grabbed his forehead, this was the main topic they were talking about, an issue that could stop their plans if not taken care off. Yet she forgot what they were talking about due to her "thoughts", either way he was glad to see more of this side of her.

"Oh right right." She replied while rubbing her temple with her right hand, she can't rub it with her left because her special knife was on it. "Get it together Girl, he is just one man. Focu on your mission!" She thought to herself, trying to get back on track after she felt these sort of emotions on a whole other level. Considerably new emotions for her even though she didn't exactly have trouble getting male attraction, she just didn't get attraction from a male who didn't l.u.s.tfully glance at her. Those are rare in these times!

"Oh right." Mocked Dalerus playfully. Teasing her became way easier for him now, when he noticed that she can't kill him about it.

"Shut up." She answered with a small joyful sigh while trying to fight her own blush away. "Look, there has been many rumors lately about Female Security Guards. And it was before these recently spread rumors about Salmon river Kingdom."

"But how would they be of help to us?" Asked Dalerus no doubt confused, this wasn't exactly the topic he expected to hear about. It is not that he felt that they are weak or useless. 

"Those females security guards, are in training. If we can hire some of them, I will be safe." Finally making eye contact with him again, she then continues in a teasing manner. Finally having the upper advantage in the conversation. "And you can sleep easily."

"Oh....." He replied a bit loudly, but was still in doubt. He didn't feel that these Guards are qualified enough.

"Stop yelling you fool, who knows how many people heard you laugh!" She replied a bit angrily but couldn't help smiling herself. It was a situation worth laughing about, she was aware of that.

"Apparently none, since no one dashed through the door until now." He stated while giving a c.o.c.ky glance to the quality dagger bashed through the door's casing.

"Let's hope you didn't attract anyone." Snapping her fingers to get back his attention, so they can start talking about the main topic.

"Don't worry." He replied in confidence, no one can do much if they report to the Patrol Guarda that they heard someone laughing. But with still a little bit of concern, he couldn't help but asking. "Are you sure that Arthur's security guards can provide enough reliable protection though?"

"What? Don't you think that females don't have what it takes?" With a bit of concern of his views about women, she couldn't help asking.

"No, that's not the case. Especially now since I saw you in action!" His words forced her into a blush again, she liked every second of it. "But as far as I heard, most of them barely have any experience. They are still in training. It is very unlikely that Arthur will even allow us to hire them!"

"Oh, you do have a point!" Giving it a little thought, she proceeded to say with a little bit of nervousness which forced her voice to crack. "But you, my loving husband. Will provide him with gold coins enough to change his mind."
