(62)Chapter 1.2.5 – Are All of These People Really Like This? (Part 3)

  Kiana- Hi there Miss Myra, I’m doing fine thank you. But no, I’m not going to give it a go, to be honest I’m not that smart so I don’t think I could even solve it. Not only that, I don’t have much interest in that type of work, I prefer to use my hands you know? Being behind a counter store selling stuff… I don’t think it’s that fun at all, I would be bored in less than an hour!

  Myra- Hmm, so that is what you think we do? However, doesn’t the idea of making money appeal to you? I would say that working behind a counter store can earn you quite a bit of money, especially if you are the owner of said store. Not only that, you have a peripheral of options in this field of work. You can be a simple merchant selling your wares that you produce for example. Maybe you have a farm and whatever you produce there, you can sell it. Maybe you have a forest nearby your home, forage said forest and sell what you acquire. The possibilities are endless.

  Kiana- I mean, when you put it in that way, yes, I do like the sound of that, but I don’t know… I’ve never thought about it in that way, so I really can give you a concrete answer. Not only that, I have a promise to fulfil, until then, I can’t and don’t want to do anything else.

  Myra- A promise you say… I see, in that case it will be hard to convince you. Let’s do it this way then. Have a shot at it, if you somehow are close to solving it, I will reward. If you do poorly then, I will not bother you anymore, what do you say?

  Kiana- I mean you’re not bothering me and at the same time I don’t want to never talk to you again if that’s what you mean... You seem like a nice girl so I want to be friends with you!

  Once again, our Kiana wins the heart of another one, her golden eyes are soft, her voice is gentle and her mouth forms a beautiful captivating smile. To make it even worse to the one that is fortunate enough to be exposed to this much cuteness, she deeply stares at said person as she does all of this. Yes, even Myra is somewhat charmed by this. Good job Kiana! Another one for your incredible harem-

  Myra- Oh my, you sure are something else! Haha! You got me, let’s change it then. Whatever you fail or not, if you give it a try, I will let you get to know me and potentially befriend me. What do you say? More motivated now? This is in fact the highest reward that I can give to someone, I would say.

  “I mean, if you put in that way-”

  Swoosh!

  She jumps forward a little bit, just enough to be dramatic and to quickly get up. She has a massive smile on her face as she fully faces Myra. You can easily see that she's extremely happy at what Myra proposed.

  “Now I do have a good reason to give it a go! I will do my best then! Just don’t expect much as I really am not that smart. Either way, wish me luck!”

  As quickly as she gets up, she walks up to the end of the single line, leaving Myra all by herself and her thoughts.

  “So, this is Kiana's personality… Although it is far too soon to say it, though, she does seem sincere to say the least.”

  She slowly relaxes her back, touching the bench with it. She raises her head a bit, just enough to fully face the students giving out their best, facing the back of Kiana and her beautiful hair. She’s looking at them as anyone would see it, but her eyes are distant and of course, her mind is the same way. She’s not there and nor here at the same time, she’s stuck in her little world thinking about Kiana.

  “(She is so much different from the others that I first thought that she was putting up an act. But after this, my mind has changed. I don’t think she was lying or being dishonest when she said that she wants to be my friend. From how she acts around me, to her I’m nothing more than Myra, a stranger in her eyes, one that she wants to get to know.)”

  “(This young lady, she’s from god knows where, in that regard, not much I can say about her past behaviour. What you did and who you were in the past does affect who you are today so of course I got rather curious to know about it. However, the world is vast and I’ve learned the hard way with her. I had the best man to investigate her and somehow, he failed to bring me anything substantial about her.)”

  “(Everything about her is unknown to the whole world, it is as if she just appeared a few months ago. To make things even more interesting, it’s the very reason why she’s here and how she got here. She was invited of course. Right time at the right place with the right person, quite the coincidence, no? The report that I got was that, she got invited here thanks to her magic knowledge at such a “young” age.)”

  She brings her right hand towards her chin, gently resting her chin on top of the back of her fingers, but only the index and the next one to it are the ones holding the chin. At the same time, she crosses her legs, putting the left one on top of the right one. She leans forward a bit, putting her right elbow on top of her left leg, making it support the added weight. She does all of this as she puts her thoughts together and of course, as things get more interesting to her.

  “(However, my men were able to find the real reason, explaining why I think it is a coincidence. Marx Veron, a retired teacher from this Academy, he was the one that sent out the letter to her with the invite. He was going on a vacation when he and his family were attacked by quite the famous group of bandits. All of his bodyguards were unfortunately killed by the bandits, but just as his life were mere moments from being taken away, Kiana steps in to save the day just like a Hero would.)”

  This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.

  “(He was so mesmerised by her display of strength, skills and magic that he went above and beyond to invite her here. Maybe he wants her to teach others what she knows, maybe he just wants her to improve beyond anyone can think of, making her literally a Hero with it, or maybe it was just greed and he sees her as a “prize” that could get him anything he might want thanks to her powers. Either way, he got what he wanted…)”

  “(Or he would’ve, if for some unknown reasons he decided to retire a little bit too early. There is something at play here, but I’m far too ignorant to know about it. Kiana just might be an innocent trapped on a charade or some sort of elaborated plan of some sorts. Something is not adding up and that is a fact that is bothering me the most.)”

  Myra Roosevelt…

  An extremely smart woman with incredible influence behind her. She’s cunning, arrogant and self-centred, but thanks to her intellect and confidence she can easily get what she wants when she wants it. However, these are not the only aspects that make her stand out. Her beauty is also something that matches her attitudes, in other words, incomparable. The way that she speaks matches her noble status. Her manners, way of dressing, the way she walks, everything about her screams elegant, an individual of high status.

  The complete opposite of our petite Kiana, Myra is quite tall, at around 170 centimetres tall to be precise. Unlike Alice's somewhat muscular body, Myra is slender and because of it, although a sight for those that are privileged enough to lay their eyes on her, her body is nothing more than for the average side without any noticeable features to it. Her breasts are for the average side just like the rest of her body is, don’t get it wrong though, she looks nice, but nothing special. What makes anyone stop and look at her is how she walks, easily showing off those average features of hers but without being “in your face”, just an elegant way of doing so.

  Her face is for the mature side, her chin for example is for the sharp side but the rest of her face has a smooth look to it, feminine and good looking. Her eyes are sharp, but not as much as Alice for example, just the middle ground between sharp and soft. They are coloured with a bright brown colour, her eyebrows however, are smooth, long and well taken care of, they have a softer brown colour to it, matching with her hair. Her hair just as I mentioned before is coloured with a soft shade of brown almost to the point that it seems grey. It’s long, ending just a bit above the end of her back. It descends down smoothly and just like her eyebrows, it’s extremely well taken care of, not a single hair strand is well, standing up, down, sideways, nothing at all. The way she’s dressed matches her personality, elegantly that is. Her shirt is tight showing off the curves of her upper body quite well. Her pants follow the same philosophy as her shirt, being quite tight at the waist however, for some reason, her shirt is under the pants, skirt should be more accurate, not only that the skirt is above the waist covering even her belly button, not that it was exposed but that will give you a better idea of where the skirt is. Her skirt ends a bit above her knees, but her legs are not exposed, she’s using socks that go well above her knees.

  Let’s go back a bit, I still have to describe how her shirt looks for example. Her shirt is coloured mainly in a greyish colour, more towards the white than grey. It has a collar that covers quite well her neck, although half of it is still exposed. The collar does have a piece of fabric that bends all the way down, creating an illusion that the collar has layers to it. At the front of the collar, it has a V shape to it thanks to that piece of fabric as it ends there. From that area down there until the skirt, there is a line as big as her neck in terms of wideness, where the shirt is as smooth and without any decorations at all. However, in the “line” on both sides of it, there are frills that start once the collar ends and end at the end of the shirt itself but since it is under the skirt it seems it ends just as the skirt starts. Her shoulders are covered and for some reason it seems the shirt loosens up a bit, going down the arms it actually loosens up so much that if it wasn’t for a small collar at the wrist tighten it up, it would look out of place. It looks nice and the frills that it has after that do look quite nice, frills that go all the way around it. The rest of her shirt has nothing else that I can comment on, the only thing that I can add is how expensive it looks.

  Her skirt as you can guess follows the same design, a bit that is. It is coloured in black but it has a few details here and there that match the colour of her hair. To the side, her left side to be extremely precise for no reason, there is a zipper and I would guess that is what holds the skirt together. However, right at the top she has a belt, one that I would guess helps out tighten up the skirt around her belly. Right in front where the belt is, there is a circle, one that is around 10 centimetres of diameter and with 2 centimetres of thickness, this circle has the same colour as her hair. I would say that circle is there because it seems to be the place where the belt goes through and around her slender body. On her right side she has a pocket, roughly 15 centimetres long and another 10 or so wide. On her left there is also another pocket but since the zipper is there, said pocket is in the front following the same dimensions as the other one, both of them have zippers and of course said zippers have the colour of her hair, the big one also has the same colour. And that’s it for the skirt, it also seems to be made of extremely expensive materials but nothing else that I can say about it.

  Her socks are just a bit transparent but since they are a dark brown colour, it does not let you see her “naked” legs at all. They don’t seem to be that tight but it still makes her legs look quite nice to the viewer. Her shoes, boots in this case, they follow the same design philosophy as everything until now. They are coloured in black, mainly at that, however there are a few details here and there with the same colour of her hair, just like her skirt. At the top there is a “collar” that goes all the way around and just like in her shirt, it also bends at the top and goes down for a few centimetres. At the front as anyone can expect, there is that V shape and, in the middle, just a bit further down there are shoelaces that tie the boot. The sole of her boots are easily 3 centimetres tall, however her boots does have a heel design to it, what I mean is that her feet is not straight but instead it’s in an angle, in other words the back of her foot is higher than the rest of her foot. As you can expect both the sole and the shoelaces, they have the same colour as her hair.

  You would expect someone like her to be dressing with somewhat extravagant dresses, way over the top even, and yet, while somewhat simple, she still looks high class. Maybe it’s the quality of the materials, maybe it’s the way she walks, her body movement, all of it tells anyone that sees her that, she’s said status. But someone that hires someone to find out who Kiana is, it’s something only those with a few less screws in their head would do. Seriously, it’s not normal at all but in the business and merchant world, that might be more than normal, or at least that is what I think. To be honest, just like Kiana I have no clue what they are truly about. Either way, I hope that Myra will not take advantage of Kiana's kind and na?ve nature, but only time will tell that. For now, it seems that Myra is just curious about Kiana and her origins.
