My Sword Princess

25 Seconds

Bell pov-
So let me get this straight, you tricked me into drinking so that I would confess my love for you but instead I shot you down and confessed to Ais, who in return said that she thinks she's in love with me also? I'm going to go feed myself to a minataur so I never need to see or talk to anyone ever again. "I'm sorry Bell but look on the bright side the person you've been working hard to impress is giving you a shot." But Godess we're in different famillias and she's the sword princess I don't deserve her affection. "Bell, Ais doesn't understand her emotions like most people, she needs someone to teach her and the best person to teach her love is you so stop being such a wuss or I'll just steal you all for myself." I understand, I will try my hardest. I'll see you later my godess I should probably go meet with Ais now. "Of course, see you later Bell."

After I left our famillias mansion that we won after our fight with the apollo famillia I headed straight for the dungeon entrance where Ais would be waiting for me. This happens everytime I see her but my heart just skipped a beat. Her long beautiful blonde hair, her slim elegant figure and her heart piercing eyes. But for some strange unapparent reason she was not wearing her usual or casual attire. She was in a maid outfit?

Ais... why are you wearing a maid outfit? "Loki told me that men like this sort of thing, do you not find this visually pleasing?" W-well of course I do but it isn't something that you should be wearing in public, if you wear something like that specifically for someone then it should be in private. Loki is probably scheming something we should go get you some casual clothes to wear, I'll pay. "So you would like me to wear these clothes for you in private?" Ye- no that's not what I'm trying to say, Ais when you dress up for someone like that it is usually for an intimate purpose that you only share with the person you truly love. "Oh so by intimate you mean sex, are these clothes something that you would enjoy for an intimate purpose?" That kind of thing isn't something that we should be sharing with eachother yet, especially in public. Right now we're still trying to see if what you feel for me is love so until we find out let's not talk about anything intimate. "Understood although I spoke to Riviera and Finn after I arrived home and after our conversation we all decided that I definitely love you." R-really? I'm so happy I've been trying so hard to get you to acknowledge me for so long now. Now instead of a test run this will be our first date so come on, let's do some shopping first.

The two then made their way to a marketplace with all kinds of shops, Ais spotted a dress shop which usually isn't her style but for some reason she found them appealing now. Bell noticed that the small store caught her eyes so he took her hand by reflex and walked over to the dresses allowing her to pick one out. She spotted one in particular that she knew would be perfect, a white long flowing dress with thin red lines swirling around the fabric. The dress reminds her of bell, his snow white hair and soft red eyes, after he saw that she took a liking to it he purchased it for her and they allowed her to change in the back of the shop.

Ais pov-
So Bell do you like it? "You look stunning!" I'm glad you like it, thank you for buying me this. 'What is this why am I blushing?' So shall we go get something to eat? "Sure there's plenty of cafes and taverns around here." A cafe sounds nice, lead the way.

As we were walking towards the cafe I kept looking down at his hand, I wanted to hold it and feel it's warmth but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. As it came into sight Bell turned to me and smiled, I don't know why but seeing him smile really made me happy he has such a pure smile. But before we reached the cafe entrance a group of adventures surrounded us all with their weapons drawn.

Thug 1: Hey sword princess what are you doing walking about with this pathetic boy, come and spend some time with us.

Ais: Stand back or I will have to incapacitate you.

Bell: No Ais let me deal with them I wouldn't want your new dress to get dirty dealing with these low lifes.

Thug 2: You'll eat those words little man.

6 thugs all circled in on Bell but in only 25 seconds they were all unconscious on the floor. Due to his high speed and agility stats fighting a group of weak people was easy as it would only take 1 hit to take them out.

Ais: You've grown, when I first met you I doubt you would have even stood up to them never mind take them out instantly.

Bell: I had to grow or else I'd never catch up to you but even still I'm not going to slow down because now I need to overtake you so that i, Bell Cranel, can protect you from anything and anyone.

Ais: Don't forget that I'm also here to protect you too. Besides it won't be easy to overtake me.

The two walked away from the circle of bodies now just arriving at the door of cafe before Bell suddenly gasped for air and hunched over holding his stomach. One of the men he fought had woken up and peirced his stomach with a knife before running off, leaving a severly wounded Bell laying on the ground in a pool of his own blood.
