The Governor's palace was heavily guarded. Celestine smiled brightly as she thought of what seems another brilliant idea; trying to put into good use the years of studying that she has been making towards being a courtesan.
Despite not being given the chance to serve the House of Amora, with only a day of experience, she has no doubt about the knowledge that she has acquired throughout the years. She knew how to coax men.
She hid the items that she has been holding; the scroll and her sword at the foot of a nearby tree, looking around to observe before smiling seductively. She approached the seemingly head of the guards, considering that he was the one who was ordering the other guards to take their posts.
"Good day, handsome." Celestine greeted flirtatiously. Oh, how she wanted to laugh inwardly. Never did she thought that she will be using the most common pick-up line of her sisters, considering that even she was bewildered, and somehow stupefied on how easy men almost always immediately lower their defenses just by a little compliment.
The guard looked at her briefly before gasping, his eyes widening as he recognized who she was. "Young Mistress, good day to you as well." He said, slightly bowing his head. The other guards looked at her, mimicking their leader's action. She smiled at all of them before focusing herself on the Chief Guard.
Keeping up with her act, she held the guard's chin up from him looking down, her deep brown eyes meeting with his. She smiled, "You don't need to call me that fancy name." She said before inching forward. "We'll know each other very well... soon." She whispered in his right ear, making sure to let her breath fan over it, causing an involuntary shudder to run towards the man's spine. "Just call me Celestine." She said casually, winking.
With a slight blush spreading across the man's face, Celestine knew that her first step has been completed, the man has been hooked.
Smirking inwardly, Celestine continued with her advances. She let her hand travel from the man's chin towards his torso, her touch, seemingly burning the pleated armor that the man is wearing, spreading an uncontrollable heat within his body.
Swallowing heavily, the man tried to express his concern. "Wha-What are you doing, Young Mistress?" He asked, stuttering, but Celestine was quick to place her index finger to the man's lips, shutting him up. "Hush. I told you earlier, right? We'll be knowing each other... Personally." She said, her voice becoming huskier, seemingly trying to hook the man in her trap.
The man thought quite deeply, his brows furrowing. He knew who the Young Mistress was, she was engaged to his Young Master, yet why was she trying to flirt with her? He knew that he will be facing a severe punishment when he gets caught with the Young Mistress however, seeing the seductive face that she has been showing him, her sexy aura, and adding to that the nightwear attire that has been highlighting her beautiful figure, he cannot help but give in to her advances.
After all, she wouldn't approach him if he had nothing to offer, right? He was quite confident of his facial features and considering that the beautiful lady has complimented him about that too just boasted his confidence.
Without thinking twice, the man returned Celestine's advances. He slowly snaked his arm by her waist, pulling her closer to his body.
This action made Celestine smile victoriously.
Some men are just weak creatures. A little coaxing and they're ready to give up everything, just for short term happiness.
Celestine returned the man's advances, she too snaked her arms around the man's nape, further closing their bodies together. Angling her head, she placed her lips near the ma's right ear, blowing softly before talking, "Let's go somewhere else." She said suggestively in which the man answered quickly with a repeated nod.
The other guards were looking at them uncomfortably. Everyone knew who she was, yet here she is, coming and making contact with their Chief Guard, like a single woman, the opposite of who she really is.
But other than being uncomfortable, they were envious of their leader. All of them looked at their Chief, 'Why him? It could have been me.' They all thought in unison. Imagining how good he must have been feeling, being able to mingle with their beautiful Young Mistress.
She was the first one to move away from their close contact. Maintaining her seductive aura, she held the man's hand, she acted like she was about to pull him with her before suddenly gasping.
She frantically removed her hand from his, looking around with wide eyes, seemingly scared. "Oh, no!" She gasped before lying her eyes towards the Chief Guard who was looking at her with pure confusion.
She pointed towards the other guards, biting her lips, she acted like she was afraid. "They saw us... What are we going to do if they talked about us to Roux? Or worse, the Governor?" She asked, slightly shaking.
She inwardly smiled when the man made the reaction that she has been expecting.
The Chief Guard widened his eyes too, understanding Celestine's frantic fear. Indeed, they were seen, for they have acted all flirtatious in the midst of the eyes of his soldiers. It seems like they have been carried away, acting like they were in their own little world.
Because of the panic, the Chief Guard, not being able to think of any more possible solutions, said the first thing that came into his mind.
"Guards, I order all of you to disperse from your posts, now." He said, with authority in his voice.
The other guards were shocked by his order, quite concerned, one spoke out, "But Chief, who will be guarding the Head Master's palace?" In which he immediately shut down. "I did not give you permission to speak." He said, with a venomous tone. And with that, because of fear, all of the other guards immediately dispersed, just like he ordered.
Celestine plastered a triumphant smile on her face but immediately wore the one that she has been showing earlier when the Chief Guard turned back at her.
"They're gone." He said with a relieved smile on his face.
However, Celestine chose to persist the topic brought upon by one of the guards. "But that guard is right, who will be guarding the Governor's palace? Will it be alright to leave him alone?" She asked with a look of concern over her face, which was of course, fake.
The man only shook his head. "It's going to be okay. Nothing has ever happened in the last decade so it's safe to assume that today will be the same." He answered, smiling.
Celestine almost rolled her eyes hearing the man's explanation. If not for her being angry with the Governor, she would've smacked the Chief Guard right on his head. It was his work, and yet, he has quickly decided to abandon his Master?
Well, in the end, all have been playing towards her plans. She was quite lucky that this man right here was quick to give in to temptation. If he was the kind of man who was righteous, she would definitely have a harder time and may even fail.
"But what about the guards earlier? How sure are you that they will not be talking about what they have witnessed?" Celestine further pressed, her face still showing concern.
However, the man saw this as a time to boast about his position. "Don't worry, alright? I am the Chief Guard of the Maynard Family. I can dispose of those guards earlier and assign new ones, it's not that hard of a task." He said, with a prideful smirk on his face.
With that, Celestine nodded before smiling brightly. It was time to execute her plan.
"Well then, now that everything has been taken care of... Why don't we proceed to our plan earlier?" She said, once again giving off a seductive aura. She glided her fingers over the man's arm, giving him an amorous look.
"Y-Yeah, let's go." The man said, once again being affected by Celestine's coaxing.
Smiling, Celestine tugged at the man's arm, bringing him over to the trees behind the Governor's official palace.
"Hmm? You like it here?" The man asked, looking around. Celestine smiled and pushed him over a tree. It was the tree where she has left the items that she has earlier.
"Close your eyes." Celestine whispered, before looking directly at the man's eyes. The man, who was seemingly intoxicated by the beauty in front of his eyes could only meekly agree. "A-Alright." He said, stuttering as he closed his eyes.
