Jade Leywin POV

"Oof, finally finished" I said as I collapsed on my bed in the room I was assigned in Zestier's castle

"Tired?" Mai asked teasingly

I and all the earth mages of both armies spent the past week working nonstop to turn the artificial ravine into a giant fortified camp, when we finished instead of a ravine we had a rectangular camp roughly 2 square kilometers wide completely encircled with 30 meters tall walls, on top of the walls we placed all the siege engines pointed towards the inside of the camp, the only way to the top (aside from flying) was a series of staircases placed on the external side of the walls, on the inside countless tents had been pitched, these were actually just temporary housing, with time their earth mages would build proper houses for everyone, they wouldn't be anything big or fancy but they would be better than nothing, as for the work we assigned them some menial, time-consuming chores that required no technical skill whatsoever

"You didn't forget about tonight right?" she asked

"No, don't worry but please let me sleep first I'm really tired" I replied

"Okay okay, I'll let you sleep, see you later" she stated chuckling and exited the room

I set up the alarm on my bedside table and fell asleep

*Beep Beep Beep*

I reached out and turned the alarm off, groggily opening my eyes I checked the hour, 6 o'clock huh, I guess I should start getting ready

I crawled out of the bed and headed towards the bathroom to take a shower, after finishing washing myself I took out my outfit for tonight, since it's been quite some time since our last date I decided for once to prioritise looks over comfortability

I was wearing a black shirt with khaki pants and brown leather ankle boots, I removed my earrings which I usually always wore and only kept dimensional ring putting my conjuring and Lance rings inside the dimensional ring and styled my hair with some hair product a maid procured me when I asked, I used the same style as always I just made my hair look less messy

After an hour and a half I had finished and headed towards Mai's room, from what I can sense she's mostly ready already, I simply knocked once on the door to make her know I was there and waited for her ten minutes later the door opened and she walked out

Damn she went all out too with her outfit huh

She was wearing a long blue dress that went from her shoulders to her ankles, there was a belt-like part on her waist that put emphasis on her slim perfect body, the skirt had a long slit that went up to half her thighs allowing her to show off her legs which were left bare and at her feet she was wearing a pair of black high heels, her black hair were left free, flowing on her back adorned only with some white flowers and a pair of drop earrings with gems the same color as her eyes
