The Real Monster

10 Cooperation

"How do you feel? I know you must be quite perplexed as you have just arrived, so let me introduce myself first. My name is Genna the Seventh Princess of Acadria. My full name would be Genna vi Acadria. It sure is not pleasant to meet you, Philanderer from another world." She smiled when she said that.

She told Clay teasingly. And Clay had the urge to tease back on his face for a split-second and then clearly, he endured the urge. What he needed now was to gather important information, not flirt. There's time for that later.

By the way she hid her real name from Clay just shows she does not trust Clay at all and she must be confident enough that she let her guard down quite a bit while facing him, despite being alone, or there must be something giving her this much confidence. Clay knew she had the skill [Space Magic – Advanced] so that must be one of the things she depends on.

"Princess Genna, I am called Clay. Please take care of me from now on. I'm very afraid of that old guy that greeted me earlier. He looked at me as if I wasn't a human being but some sort of lowly being. However, when I looked at you, I was mesmerized and immediately fell for your beauty. As if Fate telling me; "She's the one!" I must tell you; you have captured my heart the moment I laid my eyes on you!" Clay dramatically said all that while reaching for her hand. She immediately slapped his hands away. Her Status clearly states Disgust huh?

"Philanderer! I am unworthy of your affections for I am but a princess, a flower without thorns the dumb princess that they say I am. I cannot dare sully your name oh Philanderer! I must not! I cannot bear the shame I would inflict upon you."

As the conversation progressed here, Clay finally noticed that Giselle was indicating something through her eyes. Possibly spies in the next room. With that realization, Clay played along for a bit and then made a move.

"Oh! Noble princess! I have no care for such drivel. I do not care! I only want to be with you and you alone. Be mine!"

What a great pick-up line from me. I will have to remember this one. Thought Clay with a smug look in his mind.

"Now, what should we do about the people at the back of that room?" Clay said to her in a whisper as he was close to her ears trying to embrace her. With that signal, she nodded, and she started another line of conversation.

"Now then, Hero, I must ask you to become our Hero and defeat the enemy forces for us. If you can accomplish this, I shall offer myself and my life to be your wife." Giselle also dramatically exaggerated her line.

"Princess! There is no greater sacrifice than that which you do for those whom you love. I understand your determination, however, I cannot let you do this for the sake of paying me, I want it to be of pure and moving heart." Clay's acting sucked so also noticed how cringy it was.

"No matter how it sucks, my acting that is, it's necessary!" Clay further thought and, "Let's tease her here" and then said, "However princess, seeing as you really are hell bent on offering yourself to me, how could a man not do his responsibilities. I accept Princess.

After that dramatic cringe worthy acting, the people surrounding them slowly dispersed as if they were assured that the dumb princess had successfully hooked the "hero" into submission.

"They should be- "Giselle wanted to restart their conversation properly, but Clay stopped her by putting his index finger on her cherry lips. I'd have liked to shut you up with a kiss, is the thought that Clay hid.

"Let's wait a few more seconds for good measure. And~ they're completely gone, just in case let's survey the surroundings and... all clear." Clay did extra measures to ensure their safety and let Giselle know about it right after.

"Is it okay to speak now?" Giselle confirmed. And Clay answered, "Yes princess. The coast is clear. We may continue our love-love conversation." Teasing her a bit as they separated.

"Coast is clear? What do you mean by that?" Giselle was confused about the military term that he used. It was a hassle to explain, so Clay just ignored it and moved on to a serious topic.

"Princess Genna, are you able to seal the space we are in with your ability? It is better to be safe than sorry later. Please do it if you are able and let's proceed to the real talks." Clay's easy-going face turned cold-serious. This was the proper time to really talk about their cooperation.

From that last exchange, Giselle also figured out that Clay was hiding something that he wanted to share, and possibly, wishes to cooperate with her. So, she said, "How cunning. It seems you have already grasp who and how I am. And your eyes are extraordinary it seems. To be able to know that I can seal space, this is indeed a very good surprise. It seems it will be of no use to retain the name Genna. Let me re-introduce myself then, I am Giselle vi Acadria Seventh Princess of Acadria. Sorceress of Space, self-proclaimed it may be, but my skill is real, and I take pride in it. A pleasure to make your acquaintance, Hero Clay."

She reintroduced herself to Clay and Clay also told her to drop the "hero" title. And they started their conversation after Giselle locked up the space inside the room. Leaving all those absent from their presence unable to hear or know of the real situation regarding the "hero" they have summoned and the 'dumb' princess that they have dubbed as such. The curtain rises as a great duo has begun.
