*chu*

My eyes widened, and he...

KISSED ME!

His lips and my lips are touching; it's a kiss!

I pushed him away and covered my lips with my hands.

"What the hell!?"

"Don't misunderstand my action; it's purely an effective process to transfer my energy to you."

"Do you think I'm that stupid to believe your nonsense?

"Your energy is draining you; it can cause immediate death."

"I understand, but does it have to be lips-to-lips?"

"Physical contact is a must."

"You can just hold my hand; that's considered physical contact!"

"Well, I didn't think of that. Maybe I'm stupid then."

*chu!*

He kissed my cheek and smirked. "There, happy?"

"Damn it, Vladimir!" I was about to hit him, but we heard a knock. Sh*t, my first kiss!

*knock* *knock*

"My lady, Lord Estefan, your brother is here to visit you."

"Yes, let him in."

"Wait, where are you going?"

"I'm going out."

"Then, why are you using the window?"

"It's fun. See you later." *swish! *

"what the-"

"Estelle!" My brother quickly ran towards me and gave me a hug.

"Brother, are you that worried?" I gave him my sweetest smile.

"Of course! My little sister is unwell. What happened really?"

"It was an awakening, brother. The earth stone's spirit is in touch with me."

"Gaia! The Goddess of Earth? Oh my Goodness, Estelle! Father would be so proud of you!"

"But I'm afraid I still don't know how to use its power."

"Don't worry, you have been chosen by the spirit; it will guide you. Father will also give you instructors to train you."

"But Estelle, what were you doing in that village?"

"Ah, Yes, I went to a... jewelry shop? To buy the prettiest jewel?"

"Just that? That place is dangerous; there are reports that teras are present at that time. Good thing the master was in patrol and saved you. You should have been more careful."

"Yes, I'll be careful next time."

"There's no next time for you, young lady!"

"Apologize for disturbing your conversation; however, the King wants your presence in the palace in this instance, my Lord and my Lady."

"What!? That--"

"Brother, I'm fine."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, let's prepare ourselves; the King is waiting for us."
