POV Carmilla
I was currently up in my office that resided on the top floor going through paper work. My girls off to my right, whispering amongst themselves. Probably talking about Julius. Understandable. Since he saved them yesterday. Though I hope they temper their expectations of him, since he clearly seems like a playboy who is more interested in their mother.
The elevator to my office opened, and the butler Imp named Butler walked in.
"Madam, the sir has said he will come to visit you in a couple of minutes."
"Understood, thank you Butler."
Butler simply bowed and entered the elevator again.
"Julius is coming to talk to you?" Clara asked.
I turned to see both my daughters with light blushes on their faces. I softly sighed to myself. My daughters, who usually were reserved and focused more on their work, could not help but blush at the mere mention of that guy's name. What am I going to do with them?
"Yes. I want to speak to him about the staff that he had with him yesterday. If possible, I would like to make some sort of deal to study it as well."
"What is so special about that staff, mother?" Odette asked. Confusion appeared on both my girls' faces.
"There is something special about it, sweethearts. The feeling that would best describe that staff would be divine and ominous."
Clara and Odette looked at each other, confusion still prevalent on their faces.
"Also," I added, "Temper your expectations for him. This man seems to be a bit of a playboy."
My daughter's faces blushed extra hard and went back to whispering to each other. I cannot help but sigh again. Seems like they really like this man.
A couple minutes had passed since Butler notified me that Julius was coming to visit. He should be arriving soon, right? Maybe I should-
"-FUCKING SERIOUS! YOU WORTHLESS, BITCH ASS SYSTEM! GIVE ME BACK MY DAMN ROLLS YOU FUCKING SCAMMER!"
The entire building shook as a voice, clearly belonging to Julius, rang throughout the building. My girls and I quickly grabbed my desk as the cursing and shaking lasted for a solid 30 seconds.
After Julius seemed to finally calm done, my girls and I could not help but stare at each other in shock. What could possibly have caused him to get so mad that his raging literally shook my compound?
We stayed silent until a minute later the elevator opened and Julius walked in. Hands in his pockets with a smile on his face. Most of his hair was tied back in a ponytail with two bangs parted in front of him.
He wore a half buttoned up red dress shirt that hugged his muscular torso very well with black dress pants that still somehow showed off more than I would have liked to see.
Though it seems he made some additions to the outfit because I do not remember asking Butler to give him an expensive look watch that clung to his left wrist and a black choker that was currently around his neck.
Putting the additions to the outfit aside, I do have to say that Julius looks far more handsome than before. Though, seeing him up close now, he had veins bulging from his neck and temple. Clearly, he was still mad about something.
Well, this should be an interesting conversation.
POV Julius
Ah, cussing out the system felt so GREAT! Sadly, my rage couldn't be quelled as I remembered that for 40 rolls I got one hell dollar each! ONE!
Not to mention the hard truth I had just learned about. That being cosmetic items were auto equipped and couldn't be removed unless a new cosmetic item that were won took its place. What bullshit!
I did my best to hide the anger on my face as I entered Carmilla's office. I could see that Carmilla's daughters were there with large blushes on their faces. It seems like I made a very good impression on them yesterday.
I gave them a small wave as I took a seat in front of Carmilla's desk, causing them to avoid my gaze and start secretly whispering to each other.
It felt nice knowing two hot girls were into me!
"So," I say looking to Carmilla, "You wanted to talk about my staff?"
"Yes, I would. If possible, would you allow me to study your staff? We can come to an agreement if you like?"
I took a moment to think about what she said. "Can I ask why you want to study my staff? And what would the agreement be?"
Honestly, I wouldn't mind letting her study the Staff of Ainz Ooal Gown. For one, I would totally be down with letting her study it just to get more opportunities to be around her and her daughters.
Second, I doubt she would learn anything meaningful from it. Even if she did, there is no way for her to capitalize on any discovery she gets. Especially since it's from a completely different universe, and a divine artifact at that. Right?
"Why you ask?" Carmilla began, "I sensed something divine and ominous about it. I will not overstep and ask where you got it, but if it were a type of divine weapon I would like to study it. I am an Overlord that deals in weapons manufacturing and dealing. So, anything I can learn from the staff and add to my own weapons would benefit me greatly. And possibly you as well."
Carmilla linked her hands together as she rested her chin on them and continued. "As for the agreement, that can be negotiated. If I manage to learn anything from it that can be added to my weapons, then I can agree to give you a portion of the profits from weapons created using the knowledge from your staff. I would first like to state that you do not have to agree to let me study the staff. This is purely just to satiate my curiosity."
Carmilla finished speaking and leaned back in her chair, clearly giving me time to think about what she said.
I stayed silent for a minute. Acting like I was thinking hard when I already knew what I was going to do.
"I have no problems with you studying my staff, but I do have some conditions that come with this."
"Of course. What conditions do you have?"
"First off, anything you learn about the staff, mainly from what I tell you about it, and what you discover must be kept between us four. I'm including your daughters since they are in the room with us right now. Second, I don't really care about the profit money you'll make from making weapons from my staff. I would rather have the names and locations of potential Overlords I could target right now to quickly increase my power. Lastly, I would need to be here with you when you study the staff. To avoid anything potentially going wrong with it. Would that about ok with you?"
"Yes, splendidly in fact." Carmilla responded quickly with a smile on her face. She stood up and offered her hand towards me. "We have a deal then?"
I stood as well and took her hand with a smile of my own, "Yes we do."
As soon as we locked our hands, our auras flashed. Signaling the deal being finalized. My purple aura seemingly trying to weigh everyone down while Carmilla's white aura felt like it was on the verge of cutting everyone around her. (A/N: I got no idea what Carmilla's deal making color is so I used white for the angelic weapons she makes. Hope thats ok with yall.)
We released each other's hands and I quickly brought out my Staff of Ainz Ooal Gown.
"Well," I said as I grabbed my staff, "Ready to get started?"
