Arthas awoke to find himself lying on a luxurious bed in a strange room. The room was decorated in dark tones, a heavy atmosphere of death pervading the space, with bone ornaments visible everywhere.
What place is this? Right… I seem to have been…
His memory ended with Azi's radiant smile. Recalling her every expression, Arthas found himself involuntarily captivated.
That girl… was incredibly beautiful. Arthas wondered how such a beautiful girl could exist in this world.
Kuro Usagi, Kudou Asuka, and Kasukabe Yō were undeniably beautiful, but they paled in comparison to this girl.
Azi's beauty was indescribable, overwhelmingly aggressive and captivating.
Only now, regaining his composure, did Arthas finally emerge from the spell of Azi's mesmerizing beauty.
"You're awake?"
As Arthas sat on the bed, lost in thought, a cold voice suddenly sounded beside him.
Canaria, carrying food, approached, staring at him with a strange expression.
Arthas couldn't describe the look; perhaps it was concern? Although it seemed like concern, the utter lack of emotion in her eyes prevented Arthas from truly perceiving it as such.
Perhaps it was simply her nature; even feelings of concern were difficult for her to express.
"Thank you."
Nodding to Canaria, Arthas accepted the food she offered. Their hands accidentally touched, causing Canaria to visibly shudder, nearly dropping the tray.
"Pl… please eat. Azi is waiting for you."
After dropping those words, Canaria hurriedly fled, leaving Arthas alone, somewhat bewildered.
What was that… was she shy?
Arthas was perplexed, but the lingering chill on his fingertips from their brief contact left him with an indescribable feeling.
He had a strange feeling that he should know this girl, that he was familiar with her, that he possessed… everything about her.
Shaking his head to banish this somewhat crazy thought, Arthas chuckled to himself, wondering if he was losing his mind, why he would have such strange thoughts.
After briefly eating, Arthas left the room. Upon leaving, he was surprised to discover the place was far larger than he imagined, with long corridors stretching endlessly into the distance.
Following the corridor, he passed several rooms with closed doors before arriving at a large hall.
Despite being the hostess, Azi showed no sign of it. The girl seemed to have been waiting for him for a long time, sitting at a table, nonchalantly swinging her legs.
Her purple hair cascaded down like a waterfall, a small pool of it resting on the table, the rest flowing down her exposed, slender legs to the floor.
Wearing only a short skirt, her legs from the thighs down were completely exposed to Arthas's view. Her fair skin and small feet seemed sculpted from jade, the crimson nail polish on her toenails adding a striking contrast.
Seeming to notice Arthas staring at her feet, Azi smiled slyly, then, as if in defiance, offered her foot towards him.
"What? Want to lick it? You can, if you want. It's a special gift, you know. Lick it with gratitude."
For a moment, Arthas almost succumbed, but reason prevailed. He shook his head with a chuckle, then looked at Azi and spoke.
"Why did you bring me here? I've heard that dragons have a habit of seizing glittering treasures, and also of kidnapping princesses. Do female dragons have a habit of kidnapping men?"
Arthas spoke in a half-joking tone, but his words seemed to anger the girl. With impossible speed, her small foot accurately struck Arthas's stomach, sending him sprawling to the floor.
Azi, as if venting her anger, hopped around Arthas, muttering irritably.
"You're incredibly bold! You dare speak to me like that? Even Shiroyasha wouldn't dare show the slightest disrespect in my presence!"
Although she said this with what seemed to be an imposing demeanor, her every action contradicted the image of authority; only cuteness and amusement could be perceived.
She looked like a girl begging for affection. Arthas, slightly stunned, unconsciously reached out and gently grasped the girl's sleeve, then, amidst her cute exclamation of surprise, pulled her into his embrace.
"Eek! You want to die?!"
She let out a threatening voice, but Arthas remained unmoved. He gently embraced her, his hands softly caressing her head.
Her long hair spilled and spread, falling over Arthas's body, carrying a refreshing, icy touch that caused Arthas to let out a soft sigh.
The sigh, however, made Azi feel extremely shy. A faint blush crept onto the girl's proud little face. She didn't move or struggle, but quietly lay in Arthas's arms.
This was the embrace she had longed for, waited for, for so long.
Her crimson eyes were filled with moisture, her expression one of profound grievance or injustice.
However, Arthas didn't see this, as the girl had buried her entire face in his embrace, only her occasionally trembling shoulders betraying her emotion.
"You… crying?"
After a long moment, Arthas softly spoke, his voice inexplicably gentle. Azi trembled slightly, then raised her head, blushing.
"Who… who's crying?! Why would I cry?! You… you… you…"
Azi, raising her head again, spoke incoherently, her face flushed. Her adorable appearance caused Arthas to involuntarily smile slightly.
