Ch. 74 - A Babysitter!

"Finish reading? If it is, then I believe it's time for me to head out." Seeing that Agnarr only took a moment to skim through the contents, he was about to leave when the King stopped him from his tracks.

"Wait! You are....Mr. Daredevil, right?" Agnarr asked for confirmation, seems like he has some plans in his mind.

"Yes. That's me." Leo nodded his head.

"If this is indeed true and the Duke has some malicious plans for my daughter. I have a favour to ask from you." Looking at Agnarr, Leo saw a resolute expression on his face.

"Favour?" Leo raised an eyebrow.

"I want to assign you as Elsa's personal guardian, at least until the end of her coronation. I'm not sure if you're aware of this but my daughter Elsa is not a normal girl. She's...."

"An ice magic user. I know. But she's more than just that, I know more about her than you." Leo interrupted him, however just as he was about to continue and refuse the favour that the King was asking of him.

[New Quest received!]

[• Quest Title: A Babysitter

Main Quest: Accept Agnarr's offer and become the Guardian of the 5th Spirit Element.

Reward: Unlock the route of love! Agnarr's gratitude.]

'Genesis, you did not just!!' Mentally, Leo's face was twitching in annoyance towards his system.

[Yes. Yes I did.] And Genesis seemed to be haughty about it.

'Just you wait. One day, I'll have my revenge!' Leo solemnly swore in his heart before shifting his attention back to Agnarr, who appeared to be waiting for his response.

"What's in it for me?" Even though it's already determined that he'll accept due to the Quest, Leo still wanted to get something out of it in return.

"A title of Thane! As the King of Arendelle, I grant you the title of Thane of Arendelle this instant!" Agnarr answered in an instant as though he was already waiting for Leo to ask something in return.

'A Thane? What is this Skyrim shit?'

"A Thane? May I ask what is that?" Leo tilted his head while asking. Curiosity befall him.

"It's a title between being a Citizen and a noble. You retain your citizenship rights while being a noble at the same time. You have your own land and authority as a noble."

'Just say you granted me nobility, no need to drag it out.' Leo sighed in his heart.

"I accept. Just after your daughter's coronation."

"Good!" Agnarr clapped his hands in enjoyment, now he's reassured that his daughter would be safe from those who wish her harm before and during the coronation.

"Speaking of Elsa's magic power, you seemed to know something abo-."

After placing the papers containing evidence towards Duke Neil, Agnarr turned around to face Leo once again only to be met with nothing but a swaying curtain and an open window.

"This...." Agnarr tightened his lips and sighed, grabbing his cup and drinking his coffee once again.

***

Unknown to Agnarr, a certain white haired princess was pressing her ears on the door and listened to everything that happened inside!

'Father, why did you have to take him in!' Elsa resisted the urge to slap her forehead.

Hearing that the conversation inside is finished and she can only hear her father's sipping on coffee, Elsa sighed and turned around to return to her room, only for her to come face to face with the Daredevil himself!

"Yeeep!"

Surprised by his presence, Elsa yelled out a slight yelp that is definitely heard by Agnarr inside his office.

"Who's out there? Kai is that you?" Hearing her father's voice, Elsa panicked and just when she was about to rush to hide, Leo grabbed her shoulders and pulled her behind a curtain.

At the same time, the door to Agnarr's office opened and the man himself came out with confusion and wariness on his face, on his hand is the colt gun.

"I swear I heard something." Agnarr muttered to himself and after a whole minute of searching around, he finally went back inside.

During that time, Elsa's cheeks were blushing red, who wouldn't be when her face was literally slammed against Leo's hard chest, she could hear his heart beating for every second.

"Well that was close, right? Right?" Hearing no response from her, Leo looked down and saw her blushing face.

"Oh, my bad."

After finally letting go of her, Elsa quickly turned around to hide her reddened face.

"I-I'll go back to my room now. Forget whatever happened here."

"How could I forget when I'll be your babysitter from now on? I'm sure your tiny ears heard our conversation inside." Leo grinned.

"Y-You didn't have to accept his offer! You yourself know I could handle myself just fine! And my ears aren't tiny!" Elsa was quick to retort him.

'She's different from her movie counterpart. She seems to be more energetic and less cold?' Leo remarked inside his mind according to his recent interactions with the ice princess.

Nevertheless, he liked this side more than her movie counterpart.

She seems to be more charming when she's less cold and more approachable.

'I should thank her sister for this I guess.'

"First of all, certain circumstances forced me to accept his offer. Lastly, trust me, you're still innocent to handle yourself 'just fine'. And besides, I like you." Leo winked. Since the route has already been established then he might as well take it to heart and make an effort to make the ice cold princess fall for him.

He doesn't want to leave his love life to nature and let it take its course, if he wants to love someone, he'll work hard for it. And this is just the first step towards his goal.

"Y-You W-What?" Blinking her eyes several times, Elsa seems like she wanted to deny that she heard and asked him to repeat it.

Unfortunately for her, Leo won't repeat his words as he just shook his head and changed the subject.

"Since I'll be your babysitter from now on. How about we get to know each other?" Leo offered, at the same time, his hand found its way on his mask and removed them in a swift manner, letting the ice princess bask her eyes on his handsomeness.

"You? It's you?! The blind guy at the sweets shop yesterday! I thought you were blind?!" Realizing that they're still near Agnarr's office, Elsa lowered her shock but still maintained being shocked.

"Ta-da~. I'm not totally blind. Let's just say I'm pretending to be one just to be in character." Leo shrugged his shoulders. No use keeping that secret right now considering he'll be courting Elsa and keeping secrets would just hurt each party.

"In character? What are you, some kind of theatre actor?" Elsa crossed her arms and asked, not knowing how she's slowly getting engrossed being in conversation with Leo.

"Close enough." Leo shrugged his shoulders and didn't answer completely, intending to make himself more mysterious. From what he heard, girls like mysterious men.

"What do you mean by that?"

"I already introduced myself. How about you?" Leo changed the subject once again.

"...Don't you know me already? You just told my father you know me more than he does. Was it just for a show then?" Elsa smirked, as if she was victorious in a nonexistent game.

"I'm talking about your past. You get me? Let's pretend like we're old friends talking about our past experiences." Leo rubbed his forehead, thankfully he can maintain his calm and answered properly.

Not expecting Leo to talk about her past, Elsa's previous smug expression turned solemn as she looked down on the ground in sadness.

"If you don't want to talk about it, it's fine by me. How about I tell you a story of mine, instead? It's an interesting story of a Great Pretender who left his mark as a Legend in his world...." Seeing the sadness in her eyes, Leo knew he just touched a very sensitive subject, so with the intention to correct his mistake, he started his narration.

***

Seeing the ice princess already fast asleep while sitting on the floor with her head resting on his shoulder, Leo sighed in defeat.

"And here you say that you can handle yourself when you leave yourself open to someone you just met. Am I really that charming?" Shaking his head from these thoughts, Leo softly carried Elsa and carefully stood, avoiding waking her from her sleep.

He doesn't know where her room is but he can just leave her to her sister, Anna's room. After all, with his Life Sensor skill, searching for Anna is a piece of cake.

It didn't take him long to find the room and quietly opened the door.

His eyes scanned the slightly messy room with an even messier sleeping figure on the bed that would make anyone mistake her for being possessed.

'These two sisters are very beautiful. Of course, Elsa is prettier in my eyes.' Leo whispered in his mind and gently laid Elsa down on the bed.

As soon as he did that, Anna made a small movement, which prompted him to use the Thunder God skill and teleport back to his own room, disappearing from Anna's room.

The moment he reappeared in front of his bed back in the Luna & Murdock firm building, he saw the small figure of Luna sleeping and clutching a teddy bear that he received from the Gacha roll.

Not intending to wake her up, Leo slowly crawled his way to the bed and laid down.

As if sensing Leo's presence, Luna unconsciously used her free hand to clutch the hem of Leo's shirt and hugged him.

Watching her, Leo smiled warmly and kissed Luna's forehead.

"Goodnight."
