Attempting to trick the Emperor is an undoubtedly imperial offense with a punishment of death sentence.
'Why can't I find holes in him?' Captain Gragan was lost for words, 'However, I still don't believe that that was all he can do.'
Having tough defense was already a great achievement. If Ayensi told that it was the only thing he could do, no one would reprimand him for it. It is believable and reasonable, after all.
Unless one is an absolute genius, it is impossible to master two skills to their limit.
With the mysterious ability of illusions that no one had yet to ask where Ayensi learned that, it was already too much if he knew more skills.
"If no one has ta say about this matter anymore, then I shall appoint Ayensi Sole Tiowen as the new Imperial Knight-Captain while demoting the former Captain into Vice-Captain."
The process was too fast. But the emperor's decisions cannot be questioned.
"With that said, you will only be an official Captain once the people of Mealma Empire have recognized you as such. Therefore, we will have an event planner prepare your formal promotion as early as possible."
Everyone was baffled, but not in their wildest imagination did they think that they have just accepted Godking into the Emperor's bodyguard. While treating the Celestial of Highest as a mere servant.
This is where the part where Ayensi should kneel in gratitude and respond that he will gratefully accept the position.
However, he only nodded.
Some people were offended by his actions but kept quiet since the emperor himself is letting him off. Furthermore, there is still the event to promote him as a formality for the public to see. If he still behaved like that, they wouldn't be able to keep quiet about it.
But whatever is in everyone's mind, they all had one common thought.
'This Ayensi is weird.'
After that, night came and Ayensi was given a room near the Emperor's room. Of course, Shiena stays with him as his "servant"
Such a beautiful servant with her master as a healthy young man, there is no way that they are not in that relationship.
When the door was closed, leaving Shiena and Ayensi alone in a wide luxurious room, there was a knock.
"Master, Celestial, it is the Guardian of Spirit." Spirit's voice could be heard on the other side.
Shiena rolled her eyes while Ayensi replied, "Come in"
When Spirit entered, Ayensi got straight to the point.
"Make sure that even as the new Imperial Knight Captain, I can still act as the ambassador, the Emperor's... personal... messenger." Ayensi felt distaste in his mouth.
"Yes, Master Yensi." Spirit kneeled obediently.
There should be some important job she needs to do as the Guardian of Spirits, however, her prioritization placed Ayensi at the top. The other Guardians should be about to fill her spot.
"And Master..."
"What is it?" Ayensi comfortably sat on a chair and looked far at the bright stars. He would never get tired without doing much in a mere period of one day.
"Is there anything else I can be of service to you?"
"Like what?" Ayensi didn't think much of it. He was satisfied that his servants were taking the initiative to do what he wants.
"Umm... although I may not have an experience, I can provide a night service..."
"Cough!" Shiena suddenly burst out coughing from what she just heard.
'She still doesn't know that Master Yensi hates that kind of activity...'
Shiena remembered when she first offered herself when Ayensi became Godking. If there's anyone she could be with, it could only be Ayensi. Anyone else was lower than her.
As a woman after a God, Shiena seeks a stronger man.
However, Ayensi declined her, saying;
"I don't want to reproduce. That is not what my life seeks. You mortals only reproduce because someday, you will die. However, I refuse to accept that fate. I will be immortal someday. Before that day, I will not succumb to the nature of my life of reproducing."
'He didn't think sex as pleasure. Master Yensi is always serious.' Shiena waited for Ayensi to decline Spirit.
"No, I don't need it."
'As expected...' Shiena just looked down at Spirit with a smug look, 'If there's anyone who will take Master to bed, it will be me or no one else could.'
Ayensi waved his hand, making Spirit leave in disappointment.
After Spirit got out of the room, a glass of a black carbonated beverage appeared on Ayensi's hand.
He took a sip before calling:
"Shiena"
"Yes, Master?" while she responds, Shiena couldn't help but think, 'Is Master still not an Immortal? Even with that strength? Maybe getting infinite lifespan is still too hard even for Master.'
"Why did you react that way earlier? I don't understand it."
"Hmm??" Shiena showed a puzzled expression.
As a knowledgeable and prideful person, Ayensi didn't like not understanding things. For one, Shiena's reaction earlier was something he found strange.
Although confused, Shiena didn't dare let her master wait.
"I was just surprised by Spirit's sudden boldness, Master."
"Boldness" Ayensi frowned, he still doesn't understand, "What's so bold about servicing me in night?"
"... I'm sorry, Master. I just found it bold that the Guardian of Spirit would offer her body right off the bat."
"... what? Offer her body?" Ayensi stood and turned around to look at her. Although he asked this, he had already found the connections and finally understand the situation. However, he still want clarification.
"So night service can also mean pleasuring in a sexual way?"
"Y-yes... Master Yensi." Shiena was baffled, 'So Master doesn't know this things.'
She found it a little... adorable. She couldn't help but be elated after finding out another side of Ayensi.
"Sex... I'm already an immortal, maybe it's finally time to indulge myself into pleasure."
'And also, to learn more about human's drive.' Ayensi firmly believes that reproduction is life's ultimate goal. He felt that he needed to "experience" it to further understand humanity.
Without letting Shiena's head buffer, Ayensi sat on the bed and patted the space beside him.
"Come here. Before that activity, I want to try kissing first."
