NOVEL NEXT Intimidation
Julian's gaze lingered on the headmistress, admiring her curvy, voluptuous figure. Her presence exuded an alluring confidence that made her seem even more captivating.
The way her form filled out her robes left little to the imagination, and for a moment, he found it hard to focus on anything but her physicality.
The headmistress leaned back in her chair, a satisfied smile playing on her lips as she considered the conversation she'd just had. The air in the room was thick with intrigue, and she seemed utterly unfazed by the weight of her actions.
Julian, hidden by his invisibility cloak, watched her closely, his mind racing with possibilities. The smile on her face hinted at secrets yet to be uncovered, and he wondered just how deep her loyalty to the shadowy figure ran.
Julian asked, " System what is the magic realm of headmistress?"
The system replied, " Sovereign Mage realm"
Julian raised an eyebrow at the revelation. "Sovereign Realm? Impressive," he murmured, impressed by the headmistress's power.
He pondered the implications of this new information. Having a woman of such strength as a potential "ally" could shift the balance of power in his favor. The thought sent a thrill through him.
"System, what-what extra bonus will I get if I conquer her?" he asked, his curiosity piqued. The possibilities were endless, and he felt a rush of excitement at the prospect of expanding his influence even further.
" You can get all the bonus except the blood-related bonus", the system replied.
"Perfect," Julian said with a smirk, feeling a surge of confidence.
He watched as the headmistress continued her tasks, her focus on her work seemingly oblivious to his presence. The idea of manipulating the situation to his advantage was tantalizing.
"Let's see how I can play this," he thought, considering his approach. With the invisibility cloak on and the crystal visual recording, he felt a thrill at the thought of his plans unfolding.
Julian then turned off his cloak and approached the headmistress.
"How are you", he asked with a grin.
The headmistress jumped slightly at Julian's sudden appearance, her eyes widening in surprise. "Wha—who are you?" she stammered, scanning the room for any sign of how he had entered unnoticed.
Julian stepped closer, a charming smile on his face.
"Just a new mage eager to learn from the best," he replied smoothly. "I didn't mean to startle you."
She quickly regained her composure, though her brows furrowed in suspicion. "You shouldn't be here. This area is restricted."
"Only authorized people can enter. Go back before I call the guards," the headmistress said firmly, her tone leaving no room for negotiation.
Julian laughed, a playful glint in his eyes. "What can the guards do to the grandson of the Grand Duke?" he said, his voice dripping with confidence.
Julian leaned slightly closer, a mischievous smile playing on his lips.
"I heard something interesting, Headmistress," he said, his tone teasing.
"Seems like our little academy has more secrets than even the most studious of us could uncover." He watched her reaction closely, enjoying the tension in the air.
Julian chuckled, holding up the crystal ball for her to see.
"You might want to reconsider your approach," he said playfully, watching her expression shift from surprise to concern.
"This little recording could change the way we both play our cards in this academy."
He raised an eyebrow, enjoying the power he held in the moment.
"So, what do you think? Shall we make this a friendly conversation instead?"
The headmistress, still in shock, asked, "What is that artifact?"
Julian waved his hand dismissively. "That's not important right now. What matters is the conversation we're about to have."
She narrowed her eyes, curiosity mingling with suspicion. "You're treading dangerous ground, Julian."
He leaned in closer, a playful grin on his face. "Dangerous? Or perhaps just intriguing? Let's see how this unfolds, shall we?"
Julian stood up and approached her, his fingers gently playing with her hair.
"Who knew the headmistress of the royal academy was just a spy? What irony."
The headmistress's eyes widened, a mix of fear and defiance flickering across her face.
"You think you can intimidate me with mere words, Julian?"
He smirked, leaning closer. "Intimidation? No, I prefer to think of it as a revelation. You see, I have a unique opportunity here. You might want to consider how we can help each other."
