Chapter 74: Mommy!!
Jaegar found himself captivated by the woman's commanding beauty, his gaze instinctively drawn to her as if she possessed an irresistible magnetic pull. Her expression, while initially stern, softened upon seeing him, and a faint smile graced her lips as she spoke, her voice carrying a hint of warmth.
"Ah, you must be the infamous prince," she said in a tone that was both playful and knowing.
Jaegar's brows furrowed slightly in bemusement. "The infamous prince?" he echoed, a note of curiosity in his voice.
Carolina remembered the scene earlier but didn't say anything as they both saw each other. She thought it was something for later to dwell on, maybe more private.
With a melodious chuckle, Lady Carolina responded, her voice carrying a musical quality. "Indeed, Jaegar Ambrose," she confirmed, gesturing towards her daughter, Veronica. "My daughter here has spoken highly of your exceptional skills. I am eagerly anticipating your performance at the upcoming carnival."
"Thank you," Jaegar replied graciously, a genuine smile gracing his features. The unexpected encounter had taken an intriguing turn.
Veronica, ever perceptive, caught Jaegar's obvious admiration for her mother. She interjected playfully, her tone light yet tinged with a hint of exasperation, "Jaegar, allow me to formally introduce you to my mother, Carolina."
With a graceful and respectful gesture, Jaegar took Lady Carolina's hand and placed a gentle kiss upon her palm. "Lady Carolina," he greeted, his voice carrying a sincere reverence. "Your elegance and beauty are truly captivating."
Veronica's mother blushed at Jaegar's compliment, her eyes sparkling with appreciation. She replied graciously, "Thank you, Jaegar. Your words are very kind. It's a pleasure to meet you as well." As she saw him up close, his striking appearance made her feel a little intrigued.
She thought back to the times when someone really praised her beauty and made her feel this way. It had been a long time since she had encountered such genuine flattery, and getting compliments from such a young man had stirred a sense of excitement within her.
Lady Carolina's laughter, rich and indulgent, rang out in response. "Oh, such a charmer," she remarked, her amusement evident as she exchanged a knowing glance with her daughter.
Veronica, rolling her eyes affectionately at Jaegar's attempts at charm, couldn't help but playfully quip, "Quite the smooth talker, aren't you?" Her words were laced with a mixture of fondness and playful teasing, emphasizing the camaraderie that existed between them.
Jaegar's lips curled into an unabashed grin, his charismatic charm unabated. "A smooth talker for a truly captivating audience," he retorted with a twinkle in his eyes, fully aware of the playful banter that had woven its way into the conversation.
Lady Carolina's laughter continued to dance through the air, her amusement evident as she regarded Jaegar. "Ah, it seems my daughter was right about your charm," she remarked, her tone both approving and lighthearted.
Veronica, her gaze shifting between her mother and Jaegar, couldn't help but roll her eyes once again, a mixture of exasperation and affection in her expression. "I swear, you two could charm the stars out of the sky," she teased, her words an affectionate testament to the dynamic that had unfolded before her.
Jaegar said, "Well, I believe we should save some stars for another day," he quipped, his gaze momentarily lingering on Veronica before returning to Lady Carolina. "It has been an absolute pleasure to meet you, my lady."
Lady Carolina's smile held a genuine warmth as she extended a gracious nod. "Likewise, Jaegar. We shall eagerly await your performance at the carnival."
Then she went into the headmaster's room.
As he walked away, Veronica's voice floated back to him, carrying a playful undertone. "You certainly left an impression, Jaegar. My mother is not easily swayed."
Jaegar glanced over his shoulder, a knowing smile playing on his lips.
Jaegar's thoughts lingered on the enigmatic woman he had just encountered, a mix of curiosity and a desire to know more prompting him to devise a plan to cross paths with her once again.
Adding her to the list of women he had in mind, he returned to his classes, the day's routines continuing as usual.
Jaegar spends the day attending classes. Another day has just passed in the academy.
As the night cast its shadow over the academy, another scene unfolded in the vicinity of the woods. A figure, shrouded in mystery, watched from the shadows, their gaze trained on the dormitory of Dracanores, and, more specifically, towards Jaegar's room.
The silhouette seemed to possess an otherworldly quality, their intentions unknown as they blended into the darkness.
Abruptly, the figure vanished from its vantage point and reappeared within the confines of Jaegar's room. The sudden intrusion roused Jaegar from his state of semi-consciousness, his eyes widening as he beheld the striking and alluring presence before him.
Clad in a revealing black gown that left little to the imagination, the woman exuded an irresistible charm that seemed to envelop the room.
Jaegar's thoughts raced, his initial surprise giving way to a complex mix of emotions as he took in her captivating appearance.
The presence of two horns on her head ignited a fleeting thought in his mind—could she be a demon? His contemplation shifted to her impeccably alluring form, every detail carefully orchestrated to accentuate her sensuality.
Her gown, open over the shoulder with a deep neckline and a provocative slit, emphasized her curves and accentuated her ample bust. The allure of her dark, glistening hair framed a face that exuded seductive charm, a temptation that was difficult to resist. Golden bangles adorned her wrists, glinting in the dim light, a stark contrast to her attire.
Her black complexion glowed with a radiant beauty, adding an air of exotic elegance to her overall appearance.
Jaegar's gaze traced the thin black lines of her undergarment, his eyes drawn to the sensual contours they highlighted. His attention was ensnared by the sway of her hair against the smooth expanse of her back, his focus lingering on the elegant curve of her bosom.
The air, once filled with an intoxicating fragrance, took on an almost sinister quality as an undercurrent of danger permeated the room.
The woman's words, rich and dripping with sensuality, cut through the charged atmosphere. "Well hello," she purred, her voice a velvet whisper.
Jaegar frowned at seeing her in front of him, but he couldn't help but gaze at the fatale woman. Her presence was both captivating and unnerving, a magnetic pull that he couldn't resist. Despite his reservations, Jaegar found himself drawn deeper into her enigmatic allure, unable to tear his eyes away from her mesmerizing gaze.
