CHAPTER - 112
Shortly after
Selene: (Happy, smiling) Thank you for the evening and for helping me with my studies, Professor Dav.
Dav: (Sitting on the couch) Tomorrow, while the others are busy with the exam, we could train a bit.
And then, hoping everyone passes, we'll go to the mall.
Selene: (Curious but happy) That would be really nice! But... just out of curiosity: are the grades corrected immediately?
Dav: (Stretching) I can't say for sure, but they'll probably use some machine or magic to make their lives easier.
After two hours, they should be posted on the wall.
[Selene approaches Dav, brushing his shoulder with hers.]
Selene: (A bit flushed, smiling) And... will I get ice cream tomorrow too?
[Dav places his hand on her head.]
Dav: (With a slight smile) Of course, Sele.
(Looking at the clock) In less than two hours, it will be dinner time...
I think I'll take a bath now.
Selene: (Getting up from the couch) Okay, then I'll go-
[Dav removes his tight black t-shirt.]
Selene: (Surprised, red as a tomato) I-I'll leave you to your bath, then!
Love this story? Find the genuine version on the author's preferred platform and support their work!
Dav: (Bidding her farewell) See you later, Sele.
Narrator: Exiting the room, Selene closed the door and leaned against it with a smile full of embarrassment, her face as red as a tomato.
She headed to her room with her hands behind her back, walking calmly.
As she turned the corner, she saw Lucrezia running at full speed straight towards Dav's room.
Selene looked at her and barely said:
"Hi Lucre-"
But she didn't even have time to finish the greeting, remaining open-mouthed.
She continued towards her room with a slight smile.
"What a sought-after man..." she murmured, continuing to walk as the sun set, tinting the walls orange and the air grew cooler.
Lucrezia arrived enthusiastically in front of Dav's room and burst in, flinging the door open with vigor.
Dav, surprised by the noise, came out of the shower completely naked, with only a towel on his head.
He looked at her, trying to keep water from dripping into his eyes.
Dav: (Confused) Why are you in such a hurry?
Lucrezia: (Looking up, embarrassed) B-But why are you naked?!
Dav: (Raising an eyebrow, leaning forward) You're the one who rushed in, without even giving me time to get dressed.
[Lucrezia crosses her arms with a funny and irritated face, looking elsewhere as if it was his fault.]
[Dav pulls her cheek with one hand, while holding the towel on his head with the other.]
Dav: What did you want?
[Lucrezia, with flushed cheeks and a slight smile, hands him a note with two fingers.]
[Dav takes it while continuing to pull her cheek.]
[He reads the note: it's the translation of the small parchment found in the royal library.]
Dav: (Looking at her) You read it, didn't you?..
Lucrezia: (With a funny face and innocent cat eyes) N-No!
[Dav raises his eyebrow even more and pulls her cheek harder, making her yelp.]
Dav: What did I tell you to do once finished?
Lucrezia: (With a funny and pained voice) Okay, okay!
I won't do it again!
[Dav sighs and looks at the parchment again.]
Parchment: "What a boring life when you have nothing to read or watch, while you're locked in your world, alone.
Always remember to bring a book with you, should you ever want to travel."
[Dav makes a puzzled face and raises his lip.]
Dav: (Under his breath) I didn't understand a thing...
[He stores the paper and returns to the shower.]
Lucrezia: (Funny and irritated face) I thought you'd be happy...
Dav: (Turning his head slightly) I am, Lucre. You already know that.
Lucrezia: (With a funny face) Will I get a reward?
Dav: (With a smirk and squinted eyes) There's enough space for two in the shower, if you're interested.
Lucrezia: (Face red as fire, shouting) Idiot! I'm going to get ready for dinner!
[Lucrezia leaves, slamming the door.]
Dav: (Chuckling) Adorable little brat, haha.
[Under the shower, eyes closed.]
Dav: (Thinking) "Books"... "alone"... "travel"...
Hmm...
If I think too much about it, I’ll go crazy.
