I was in a daze in my office. I didn't know what to do with myself as my mind traveled in odd directions. My focus was all over the place as I sat in my office with unfinished paperwork. Mira had already headed back to her home to deal with some issues while I fell asleep in my room.
I took my time to get to the office this morning, but my attention was all over the place. Nothing was coming into focus, and I didn't like it. My brain was scattered, and I was sighing a lot. Papers with some reports on the embassy and how my gold was working on the maintenance were before me. Reports on what they were fixing and the resources and costs associated with it. None could hold my focus as my mind kept wandering into nothingness.
I knew that this was from the previous night and the aftereffects of what that type of play could do to someone. It didn't help that knowledge, though, and I leaned back in my chair, ignoring the hoard of paperwork that continued to pile up faster than I could ever deal with it.
I had a meeting later today with Francis to move things forward hopefully, and with Queen Mira, we might even get the vote moved up for a while. I was still here. If we did so, I could come home with a trade agreement that would help our economies boom while the war started. My brain couldn't focus on anything, which would be a serious problem as I couldn't even meditate. I needed to recenter myself, and I knew I needed a distraction.
I got up from my desk and moved down to my lab. I didn't want to practice with anyone today. Instead, I wanted to center myself and think about my new fighting style. I began to move and practice punches and kicks from my old world. Martial arts that had been developed over the centuries. Some even more recently than that, as I decided to allow my mind to wander.
My movements were slow and imprecise as I went through them. I let my mind wander over everything yet focused on none as my brain struggled to do that. It was relaxing, and I needed this time as I moved without thought. Once and a while, I would let my mind conjure an ice spike or a fireball letting it hit the wall uselessly.
Nothing was focused, and I just kicked and punched without focus. I knew this wasn't very useful, but I felt more productive than sitting in the chair accomplishing nothing. Soon I was in a zone and lost myself to the movements. I slowly added in my mana to flow with my body charging parts while I mindlessly moved my fists and legs.
It wasn't until I heard a sudden knock on the door that I awoke from my daze that I lost myself in. I had no idea what time or where I was for a solid couple of seconds before I shook my head, remembering things. I moved to the door and opened seeing Yuri sigh in relief. "You are here!" She cried out happily, "Please just let us know when you are heading here. We all thought you were in the office, and Francis is here to see you. When we went to find you," her voice trailed off, and I nodded.
"Sorry, Yuri," I replied, holding her face without even realizing it. Sweat dripped all over my body, and I frowned, realizing what a mess I looked like. "Just take me to the meeting room," I told her, "Francis won't mind being a little late. I will tell him the truth that I lost myself in practicing some new martial prowess, so I can fight him better next time. That will make him happier as well," I told Yuri which made her sigh in relief.
I followed Yuri's ass up the stairs and to the meeting room that she had prepared. I stopped at the door before entering and asked her to have some food sent in when it was possible. I opened the door a second later after she nodded. I quickly strode into the room, seeing the suited Devil on the couch slightly frowning until he saw my unkempt appearance. His smile grew large as he saw the sweat all over, and he raised an eyebrow.
"What happened to you, Ambassador Chelsea?" Francis asked with a grin, "Your subordinates were running all over looking for you, and you show up like this."
