Chapter 105: The Cheat Called Charisma
For a few seconds, both the black hair woman and the two men behind her were stunned and then when they came to it, the woman visibly gulped and then scrutinized Blake and Lena up and down.
"Who are you both"
"I'm Blake and this is Lena. Sorry if my illusion made you uncomfortable or violated any rule around here but as you can see our appearances are not so simple." Blake explained.
"Yeah, and the same should go for your identities." The woman was quick to reply.
"Oh that, I'm a knight and she is…." Blake started but was cut off.
"I'm his sister, we just have really good genes, you should see our parents," Lena said cutting into Blake's words and throwing him a light smile.
"Who are your parents" the black-haired woman asked getting a disappointing head shake from Lena.
"Are you seriously asking us that, despite what he's already told you? If you are going to keep on interrogating us like suspects, then perhaps we should also start interrogating you, after all, you are a beautiful woman and that is very illegal."
When Lena was done talking a sudden heaviness descended amongst them and a second later, with a smile on her face, the black-haired woman suddenly bowed her head.
"Sorry for the inconvenience, I'm Patricia Lorwick. I apologize if my actions seem rude, but it's just that your illusion was quite strong and required quite the effort on my part to break it."
Blake nodded to Patricia's apology but in his head he pondered her words, focusing on the efforts she talked about because with just a glance he could tell that this woman was no third-order being and should not have been able to pick up on the fact that he had an illusion, though he did also have to consider that his he hadn't cast illustra with all his strength.
"It's okay Patricia, I can kind of understand where you are coming from," Blake said. "Would you like to join us?"
As Blake made this offer, he pointed at a free chair beside him, a small smile on his face.
"I don't want to intrude, you guys seemed to be quite busy" the woman said looking from Blake to Lena and then the books at the table, a hesitant look on her face.
"Actually, it's just me studying, my sister is too much of a lazy bum and I want you to come sit with me because I believe you can help me."
With this second line, Patricia put a finger to her lips like she was in thought and then she nodded her head, waving the two men behind her to the side while she took a seat, seating on Blake's right as opposed to Lena who sat on his left.
"Okay, what do you need help with."
Seeing the smile at the corners of Patricia's lips and her partially relaxed posture, Blake couldn't help but think about how unfair the world was to those without charisma.
With just his high natural attractiveness, Blake had gotten this obviously high-class woman he had just met to sit with him, even drawing out her friendliness and softness.
Of course, feeling the mana that lay within her, Patricia was a hole whom Blake was about to score in, but there was also another more important thing about her.
"Rita Lorwick, is she your sister."
"Yes" Patricia answered the smile on her face lessening.
"Well, then it's such a coincidence that I met you since I actually had plans to meet her."
"I see" Patricia answered her mood totally down and Blake had this feeling that she wanted to leave but at the same time was hesitant to leave his side.
"Just like others I have heard about your sisters' beauty and when my sister and I found ourselves taking a little break from our travel in this city, I thought it a must for me to see her, but I don't think I have any more need for that considering I have seen the angel meant for me."
Like a charm Blake's words got Patricia glancing at him and though what the woman threw him was an inquisitive look he knew that she had already slipped into his trap.
"What angel," Patricia asked.
With an amused smile, Blake leaned back in his seat and looking Patricia in the eyes answered her.
"The angel I am looking at."
A small blush climbed Patricia's face and it was at this point that Blake decided to speed up his interaction with the woman.
"lust aura"
"Sweet touch"
Leaning forward, Blake reached out a grabbed Patricia's hand and though this action of his startled the woman, the instant their skin made contact, a tremble went through her and she had no qualm with Blake properly holding her.
"You are the governor's sister, could your authority get us this floor of the library to ourselves, I want to discuss with you quite sensitive and vital information."
Patricia blinked her eyes looking like she wanted to process what Blake was asking of her and then she blinked heavily and replied Blake.
"That shouldn't be a problem, give me a second."
With a bit of fluster on her face, Patricia stood to her feet and walked over to the two men she had placed at the side, her steps hurried.
"This should be fun to watch" Lena who was to the side and had been quiet all this whole suddenly said and though Blake initially thought she was referring to the fuck he wanted to deliver to Patricia seeing the glint in her eyes he knew there was more to it.
"What should be fun"
"Oh, the battle between you and those two men, you see she has a magic artifact, so remember to protect me while you're having your fight.
Blake's face scrunched in confusion at Lena's words, but then the sudden build-up of mana and the flames that came tearing through the air had him quickly standing off his feet, picking up Lena and running out of the way of the fire torrent that came charging through their last position.
