Opening my eyes, I was a little surprised, as I hadn't slept so well in a long time. It wasn't that I didn't want to, but because of the amount of work Varco had left me...
If he comes back, I'll have him arrested, and he'll be stuck with me for the whole month, poring over documents...
Hmm, strange, where's that pleasant smell coming from...
"WHAT?!" I exclaimed in shock, and couldn't help but blush.
As soon as I uncovered the blankets, Evernight was underneath, pressed against my chest.
What the hell happened yesterday? Were we really studying... No, since we were both fully clothed, nothing happened.
If I remember correctly, she invited me to lie down on her soft lap, and I most likely fell asleep. Well, her speakers really were something...
So most likely, she carried me here, and I grabbed her in my sleep, pulling her close.
Yeah, that's probably it!
Thank goodness, otherwise it would be a shame to forget the sex...
Damn, what am I even thinking?
We're both girls, so why do I get these strange feelings just looking at her sweet face and those beautiful eyes...
So stop, Jean, you're the Order Master, don't act like a lovesick teenager!
So what should I do now?
On the one hand, I have to get up because we were supposed to go to the temple today, but on the other hand, I can't stop looking at her sleeping face...
Damn, here we go again!
Am I really in love with a girl, and one I only met yesterday, and who's younger than me.
What chance do I even have with her? Am I the only one who looks at her like that? I remember that Lumin girl blushing too, even though she tried to hide it. Amber also reluctantly left, back to patrol, and Lisa... Well, Lisa remains Lisa...
But as they say, all's fair in love and war! I don't know if this is love or just a passing fancy, but I have to find out. So I won't lose to the other girls around her, and I'll be her first...
Somehow that doesn't sound right...
I couldn't help but feel Evernight begin to stir, and indeed, looking down, I noticed how beautiful her eyes were staring at me, making my heart beat faster.
"Good morning." said Evernight.
"Good..." I said, still mesmerized by her eyes, but then, coming to my senses, I quickly let her go, sitting down on the bed, which she did too.
"Sorry about yesterday, I can be a bit clingy when I'm sleeping." I said, trying to suppress my embarrassment.
She just smiled her charming smile and shook her head.
"It's okay, it was quite a pleasure..." she said, and before she could finish, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in." I said, and after my words, the door opened and Noelle entered, carrying a tray.
"Magistr, and her guest, I made you breakfast." she said.
"Thank you, please put it on the table." I told her, to which she nodded.
Afterwards, she left, but I also noticed her glance at Evernight and blush.
Damn, how many more rivals will I have? And when did I even start perceiving this as a competition, over a girl who's younger than me and looks the same age as my little sister? And I don't even know what Evernight thinks about it, in the sense of how she feels about dating an older woman? Her sexuality is pretty clear, judging by the way she looks at men and the way she doesn't pay attention to them. Like yesterday, Kaeya wanted to ask her out, but she completely ignored him, so he gave in. That was the first time I'd seen him do that; he always acted so casually.
"Evernight, let's have breakfast." I said, to which she nodded. We sat down at the table and began breakfast, and I focused not on the food but on Evernight's beautiful face, so captivating, from her soft pink hair to her crystal red eyes...
I hadn't been interested in such things before, and in my family, I was taught a completely different way of relating, which I didn't like...
Being a housewife, having children, cooking, being in the background... no thanks!
I endured until I got my chance and became a knight, which completely went against my parents' plans.
But that's in the past; now, apparently, I've finally begun to be attracted to someone, and that someone is a girl...
It fascinates me a little...
Although, on the other hand, now isn't the best time for something like that...
After a while, Evernight left me and went to her friends, and I returned to my office, where Lisa was already, which surprised me a little. She smiled when she saw me.
"Ara-ara, did you enjoy your night?" she asked, causing me to blush.
"What are you talking about?" I asked, trying to suppress my embarrassment.
"Well, sleeping cuddled with such a cutie, I suppose it must be nice?" she asked.
"Yes..." I answered automatically.
"Ara-ara?"
"Wait, that's not what I meant!" I exclaimed, feeling my whole face heat up.
"Did our Magister really find someone she likes? Of course, it's a little sad and jealous that it's not me, but I can live with that," she said, feigning a sigh. I simply looked at her, speechless.
Has she figured me out? Or is she just teasing me, as usual?
"In any case, I hope you won't be slow, there are already plenty of vultures around her, all eager to get a piece of her," Lisa said as she left.
And in turn, I began to consider her words. Even if I wanted to, how should I approach her? Go and ask her if she wants to date? Or should I just propose to you right away? Although, we're both girls, so it's more accurate to say marry me. I don't think she'll agree, since we've only known each other for a day at most. Then, could I just ask her out? But where? I'll have to ask someone who knows...
It's decided, after we solve the dragon problem, I'll ask her out, but for now, we can get to know each other better.
