6 Intruder in the bedroom

With his ass flat on some sort of a floor, Ben sat awkwardly, gawking at his surroundings, as the old world crumbled away and a new world appeared within his eye sight.

And to top it all, the view revealed to him was spectacular beyond imagination.

His angelic goddess was standing in front of him completely naked!!

She was rustling her silky golden hair and changing into something more comfortable.

Wait, actually less comfortable.

She prefers some long flailing robe over shirt and jeans?

Idiot. Ben hit himself.

Is this what you should be thinking about right now ?!!

The robe did extremely suit her through. Earlier she only resembled an angel.

But now with the white colored golden bordered robe, she exactly looked like one!

Sigh... I am hopeless.

Ben turned around to see where exactly he was.

It looked like sort of a bed room with a huge princess design bed and a lot of flowery curtains.

Actually, if the bed was not there, the room could be called a library.

Because, except for the bed, the room mostly had books, books and more books.

As Ben slowly stood up to explore more, he inadvertently cleared his throat.

Oops.

Immediately a dull thud was heard, followed by loud shriek.

Ella was in front of him completely frozen and dumbfounded.

As if this was not enough to make the situation worse, a couple of seconds later, the door was flung open.

A panicked old man stood there with a puzzled expression, "what happened sweetheart?"

Ella looked at her father and bent her head down in embarrassment, "Sorry dad, it looks like I have failed you yet again."

"Fa.. Fa.. Father ?" Ben stammered subconsciously.

"Oh no..." Something was telling him that he was in grave danger. All his instincts were begging him to get the hell out of there.

"Don't worry sweetheart. You know this old man doesn't expect anything from you."

Ella's dad walked towards her with a gentle expression and patted her head.

Phew.. Ben heaved a sigh of relief. He doesn't seem to be a bad guy right?

"It's already late baby. You should go to sleep. Why don't I take care of him for you?"

He patted his daughter some more and only left, when he saw that small delicate smile on her face.

Take care of me?

Gulp.

Ben inched backward in fear, but what can he really do at this point?

"Young man, why don't we give my daughter some privacy now? Walk with me." Ella's father spoke with an ominous tone.

With a gentle smile, he opened the door wide and signaled Ben politely to walk out.

He then closed it behind Ben ever so slowly and cautiously, so as to not disturb his daughter.

And the next minute...

The gentle smile and the polite attitude took a complete 180 degree turn.

A strong insurmountable aura surged from him, driving fear and panic through Ben's heart.

With his hands crossed behind him, the old man slowly walked towards what seemed to be the main hall.

The entire building was like an olden day palace or castle.

Ben kept his silence and meekly followed him. He frantically searched his brain, for some sort of help with this hopeless situation.

And what Ben feared most, of course came true.

The old man walked straight to a throne like seating area, except there was a table in front of it with lots of papers.

He authoritatively sat down, with his face resting on his right hand and looked at Ben.

Ben, on the other hand, was squirming at his intense gaze.

He suddenly felt naked and completely exposed.

He couldn't really explain the feeling, but it felt as if someone was scanning each and every inch of his body.

What is happening to me? Ben looked more and more worried as time ticked by.

And suddenly out of nowhere, the already grim gaze of the old man, turned freezing cold.

A dark aura, which somehow Ben knew to be killing intent was visibly oozing from the old man.

Ben shuddered and took a few steps backward.

But the situation was only getting worse and the old man was now literally shaking with anger.

His hands gripping the throne, crushed the metallic structure under his grip and he yelled with an indecipherable loud voice.

"Ellaaaa, Get over here right now."

Spatial Magic Tier 1: Minor teleportation

Making Ben stumble and fall in surprise, Ella materialized next to him, almost instantly.

She was sheepishly standing with her head bent down and guilt written all over her impeccable face.

Looking at her covering in fear, the old man's gaze softened just a little bit.

"Tell me what happened child." the almighty dad angrily enquired.

"Dad.. I am sorry.. I meant to tell you tomorrow.. I.. "

"Hmm?"

"I was poisoned by mana dust. I reached beyond my abilities. I am sorry. I didn't know what else to do." Ella pitifully replied.

Hearing her words, the old man's gaze softened even further and his anger fizzled like fire on water.

Sigh.. The old man looked like he was in pain..

He stood up from his throne and walked towards his daughter, pulling her into a deep hug.

He consoled his tearing up daughter with a helpless look on his face.
