Night time. It is a perfect time to do all the undercover work—as the darkness of the night sky would be able to hide whatever it is you're doing.
In the broad daylight, people would also have their usual jobs to do—to display that they are nothing but ordinary people, who worked a normal job and lived a normal life.
But once night falls, they ceased to do their outward jobs and they would have the chance to do their transactions, trades, and other activities. Secluded alleyways, dark roads with a high prevalence of crimes and hooligans might be the perfect place to walk at.
The bars that reeked the aura of suspicion, yet with no apparent proof that they are hosting some black trades would be found not too far away from the said road.
A beautiful slim woman, with her brown complexion that made her silky silver hair stood out even more, is walking around the street, hiding near the small alley and leering at the noisy bar next to her.
Her ruby eyes are keenly observing her surroundings. Upon seeing a certain nobleman entered the bar, her eyes showed a spark of determination and then she followed suit, her hands already on the door's handle.
[Gliderung, sâwolhord wendan]
As she chanted that spell, her silky silver hair turned into a beautiful light purple, now with slight curls, yet her ruby eyes remained the same.
[Ferhð cêape, fylnes]
As she murmured another incantation, she entered the bar and walked directly through the swarm of men and women who are all sitting in their seats, laughing, with some drunken people.
Her alluring beauty stood out among them, with her sexy lips and seductive aura—somehow... her pheromone and charm got very strong that it wasn't an exaggeration to say that she was irresistible.
Unable to resist the aura that she has, most of the men are already staring at her with eyes full of lust. It should be apparent because the noisy drunk men and other boastful men who contributed to most of the noises—suddenly became quiet to observe the walking beauty among them. However, the woman seemed that she didn't notice it—or did she notice it and pretended not to notice?
"Hey there, beautiful lady! Would you mind accompanying me tonight?"
The woman just walked pass by the drunken man that flirted her just now.
"Hey, forget about him, try me!"
The surrounding men suddenly got so noisy.
"A woman of your caliber shouldn't even be here in the first place. A fine lady just like you should be at the castle, being treated as a princess you are."
The nobleman that the woman had her eyes on before entering the bar stood out and reached out to her.
At his words, the ruby-eyed woman finally stopped walking and turned to look his way. She slightly smiled—followed by the exasperated gasps the other men had from witnessing that sexy smile she just displayed.
"Whoa, as expected of the noble young master! He managed to capture her attention!"
The man smiled. Rupert immediately confirmed the target's identity. A young nobleman in his bachelorhood—rumors have it that albeit engaged, he still remains a playboy.
And the spies have already taken an interest in him—since he's suspected of being majorly involved in slave trades. Perfect target, easy to get.
I've got him.
Rupert smiled.
"Oh? Then, would you mind showing me how I should be treated and entertain me with things that I have never witnessed before?"
At that cue, the young man let Rupert—sit next to him.
Rupert smiled in satisfaction. He is getting closer to expose the slave trades and all involved parties. And he will do anything to make sure that this foolish young master will lead him to the secret slave auction that's rumored to be held regularly in close proximity.
If we can catch them, too, then this will be a bonus.
Rupert tried to forget the horror that he would have from having to seduce a man and would risk himself to go on a few dates with the man before he finally could get what he's aiming for.
I am as straight as an arrow, straight, yes...
He kept saying that sentence in his mind as if chanting some kind of spell that he seems to be used to.
Nobody is more perfect to handle assignments involving seduction techniques than Rupert, after all.
[Ferhð cêape, fylnes]—the spell from earlier, it's a spell to manipulate others' minds—to seduce them.
