Pavel was embarrassed to see his boss dumbfounded at the sight of Aleksis. Alaric was staring at her and seemed to forgot how to blink. Pavel hurriedly picked up all the documents from the desk and excused himself.

Aleksis looked at the departing man with a smile on her lips, and when he disappeared behind the door, she immediately jumped into Alaric's lap who was still astonished at her transformation.

"Why are you looking at me like that? You're staring at me as if you're hungry and I'm your food..."

Alaric swallowed hard again. He couldn't find the words to say.

"Gosh, did a cat eat your tongue, huh? How come you are not saying anything?" asked Aleksis, pretending she did not notice that her new appearance had shocked Alaric.

Inwardly she was touched because Alaric already liked her even though her appearance was initially shabby. Aleksis thought, his act, of accepting her as she was, deserved to be rewarded. And so she did by showing the real, impossibly beautiful Aleksis behind her disguised nerdy look.

Aleksis inherited very good-looking genes from her father and mother, plus she had taken the immortality potion from Uncle Aldebar, making her a hundred percent Alchemist, having a body and face with perfect proportions and symmetry.

She was also not 20 years old yet, which meant she would still grow up. Her growth would only stop once all the cells in her body are fully formed. It was very possible that she would become even more beautiful in the next few years.

Alaric wanted to reply to Aleksis' questions by saying that the girl was very beautiful and he was mesmerized, but he couldn't find his voice to say anything. As soon as he opened his mouth, instead of letting a sound come out, he kissed the girl.

Alaric finally gave in to the craving that ensnared him from the moment he saw Aleksis enter the room with her new appearance. He pulled Aleksis's face close to his face, his lips claiming hers passionately.

Aleksis instinctively returned his kiss when Alaric's tongue entered and explored her mouth. Then they kissed passionately on the sofa for a long time.

"You're really making me addicted to your kiss ..." Alaric whispered between his kisses. "You don't look like a human..."

I am NOT a normal human, thought Aleksis.

A smile formed on her lips at Alaric's words, and it tempted him even more because Aleksis' tiny red lips looked like fresh berries ready to be picked.

Their breath began to become more irregular as Alaric and Aleksis caressed each other, their lips letting out moans incessantly.

Alaric then stood up with Aleksis on his lap, automatically carrying the girl in his arms like a princess. With her still in his arms, he walked into his resting room within the office. Slowly and gently, he lowered her in the bed. Aleksis did not protest at all, enjoying his treatment with a shy smile on her face.

Alaric sat on the edge of the bed and looked into her eyes deeply, "This is the first for you, right? Do you want to do it here, or do you want to do it in a more beautiful place? You choose. I can take you anywhere you want ... "

Aleksis, who had ignored anything and was ready to give herself to him, was immediately stunned. She didn't expect Alaric to ask her opinion about where she wanted to have their first sexual intercourse ...

Ah ... right, because this is her first time, she wanted to do it in a special place ...

She was touched because Alaric was being considerate even toward something this small, even though Aleksis herself did not actually care... All she thought was that everything was fine as long as she could be with this man ...

"Uhm ..." Aleksis smiled shyly ... "I want to do it under the stars ... it must be very romantic ..."

Alaric nodded. He smiled. The smile that always made Aleksis unable to believe this man likened himself to a Demon King.

"All right ..." Alaric kissed Aleksis once again, then dropped his body beside the girl. "We leave in ten minutes... I will take you to my ship, and together, we can enjoy the sea and watch the night sky full of stars ..."

Aleksis tossed to the side and smiled broadly at Alaric, "I love it..."

Her hand held Alaric's hand and then the two calmed down while catching their breaths.

Ten minutes later Alaric and Aleksis walked out of the lobby and headed towards the armored Mercedes awaiting them in front of the building.

Aleksis entrusted Little Prince Siegfried to Carl and Sascha whom she told not to follow her. She felt safe with Alaric and felt no need for their protection.
