In front of her, that's where he was. Something about him fascinated jer roght on the spot yet it is hard to put in words. Maybe it was the bright, blue eye? The crown sitting on the complete right half of his face, with his hair covering his other eye? The flames around him? The greataxe in his hand? The pale skin? The raven black hair? Or his aura?
It is hard to point a finger at it. Yet again-
"Do you even listen!?" a male voice woke her up, getting her out of her trance.
"Oh, I'm sorry! I should've paid more attention" she says quickly. "What did you say?"
He sighed. "I will make an exception and repeat it this one time! You better pay attention!"
She nodded.
"I am Dagas and you will have the honor of being my driver! This is a very big moment for you! Don't blow it!"
And that's how it began. Dagas living with royalty which humiliates him various of times. The one who summoned him had nothing else to do apparently, except spouting inappropriate lines and give him treatment which is unworthy for the likes of him. The way she treats a king is unforgivable.
"Lady of Aegon", that's how she is referred to by anyone, a title she did not deserve. Her lineage says she is a lady of blue blood yet her behavior the opposite. Even her appearance!
Etsu, the lady of Aegon, was a beast, in a sense that she thought more with her desires than anything else. Her red hair covered one and any of her "clothes" only covered the bare minimum.
She was shameless, in truth proud of this, showing off her body various ways. On top she always teased him and put words in his mouth. She barely lets him rest. She barely lets him recover. She barely leaves him at peace.
Yet that was only when they were alone. With others Etsu is a calm, gentle, well-mannered and actually wears something clothes-worthy, as if she was a serious ruler.
Yet this was the situation he will be stuck in for a very long time.
"So you claim to be of blue blood?" Etsu asked on the same day she summoned him, looking questioning yet concerned.
"That is correct. You are paying attention to your king after all!" Dag replied yet Etsu did not comment on the second part.
"How odd. There are no records of a blade being a king."
"That was in my life before I became a blade."
"Before you became a blade?" She looked thoughtful at him, not quiet believing his words. A blade can't have past memories after all. Yet at the same time she didn't necessarily look like she didn't believe him, slightly the opposite in fact.
The self proclaimed king stared back at her. Her attitude changed from one second to the other. At first she was teasing him, to the point she actually managed to- No, he does not want to think of that again! Yet now she at least pretended that she took him seriously.
"It sounds far fetched" the red haired then continued. "Far fetched!?" his voice rose, sounding quiet upset. Yet the female did not react to it, her voice staying as calm as it was at the beginning of this conversation.
"I was not finished. May I?"
He thought for a little bit. "You may."
"I would like to make a deal. You aroused my curiousity." She walked over to him, slowly, than started to whisper: "If I promise to find the kingdom belonging to you do you promise to keep me company until then?"
