11 The Lady

The Woman looked at him and said "Looks like you are up, go shower and remove the blood residue from your body" she threw a look at him when she said that.

Akira was surprised and said "Why the change of heart all of a sudden, i thought i was the prey that you wanted to eat" he raised his eyebrow at the graceful lady with crystal like eyes.

"Well, for starters you didn't really hurt my daughters that much considering that they were first to attack, but mainly because i can't really kill you considering we both have immortality, it would be meaningless to waste time into hitting each other when there is no apparent outcome in the near future" She said in a nonchalant way

Then she turned around to leave the room before saying "Come down, we will talk over breakfast, there are some clothes over there, you can also use the shower there" she pointed at both things and left.

Akira furrowed his eyebrows and was deep in thought 'there is something fishy going on, from her expression she wasn't speaking the full truth' he gained many skills through his life and one of them was expressions reading.

"i will figure it out later, for now i will just do what she said" Akira then stood up and went to the shower to be surprised, he entered the bathroom that is very spacious and luxurious.

Luxurious bathrooms feature natural materials on their walls and floors and this bathroom had marble walls.

The right combination of textures had the ability to make a bathroom look luxurious. Stepping on the shiny floor tiles and then onto the zebra accent rug, Akira touched the soft and delicate curtains, there was subtle, accent lighting used strategically in the room and made him feel a weird relaxed feeling.

He quickly showered and went closely to a dark cherry wood with the sleek white countertop, There was 6 drawers in total, aligned underneath the two sinks, with an additional open storage cubby at the center that had some clothes made for men.

they were old but fashionable clothes that radiated elegance, not minding it at all he was about to wear them, he then noticed that there was a face tattoo in between his stomach and chest, he touched it and felt that it wasn't any different than the normal skin, but when he thought about his earlier experience with whispers in his ears he knew what it's function was.

Akira just nodded and said "quite a useful power" he got used to the weird panel that appeared in his eyes.

*Downstairs*

as he went down he saw that the house looked way different, luxurious and even more spacious.

At a Dark Wooden Oval shaped dinner table, there was 8 chairs 5 of them were already full, at the tip of the table the tall woman sat with her arms crossed as if she was waiting for Akira, who just came in, looking around he saw the 4 women he won against.

Each 2 were sitting on one side, he took the hint and sat down at the other end of the table, noticing that the 4 ladies had a fearful look on their face, while the tall lady had a normal look.

As they settled down she waved her hand and some plates floated into the table, they were all luxurious and most of them were unknown to Akira, he wasn't much of a foodie in his previous life.

Sitting at the table composed, he just looked up and said "should we talk after we finish eating?"

he received a nod from her and they started eating, Akira was taking the time of his life while tasting and eating dishes from another world.

after a while, they finished and he put his clean plates on top of each other, "now let's talk" "alright, we will exchange questions and answers, you ask i answer than the other way around" the lady said calmly.

"what is your name and why did your attitude change suddenly?" Akira said with both his elbows on the table.

"you can call me Lady Dame, and are you sure you don't know the answer to the second question?" asked Lady Dame. (Dame is lady in french, i called her that because i have a bad memory and won't forget her name easily)

"i might have an idea but that's after i hear your reason" Akira retorted and waited for the answer.

Lady Dame sighed and said "these are my daughters, you four tell him why there was a change of attitude towards him".

when the 4 women heard that they shivered and said "you have the same scent as mother, it is a bit hard to detect but it's not any weaker".

"oh, that explains it now" Akira clapped his hands and said in a matter of fact tone, "now what do you want to know".

"What is your name and why do you have That Blood in you?", Akira looked at her for a bit and said "my name is Akira, and even i can't answer the second question".

The room went quiet then Lady Dame broke the silence, "we wont get anywhere like this, so let's just waste time, what do you plan on doing here?".

"to be honest this wasn't a part of the plan but i would like to go to a place that has normal humans in it" Akira smiled as a dangerous glint flashed in his eyes.
