When we returned to the ballroom she returned to her group first after I convinced her to slap me hard enough to leave a mark which took longer than I expected but as I flirted with her earlier it would appear believable to the general audience although I returned from the balcony with hand printed on my face no one dared to laugh because of what happened to James Black was still fresh in the memories of everyone present but it allowed for others to exaggerate my weakness to women which is fine because if I appeared invincible on all fronts people would start digging more aggressively into my background to find one or remove me before I became too big a threat its always best uproot weeds before they do too much damage.
sharp dressed pudgy:"You have the good fortune to catch my master's eye"
Me:"And you are?" obviously Victor Crowley's lackey
sharp dressed pudgy:"Bernard, and I must say you are exceptional if not for the fact that you seem to chase any skirt regardless of what said girl feels toward you"
Me:"Is my desire for beautiful women a problem?"
Bernard:"Not for my employer but for you personally it might be as I had a similar problem in my youth as long as you are capable of completing your assignment I shall not pry and I will try to convince my master not to interfere with your personal life either"
Me:"Thank you for your magnanimous decision in your evaluation of me bernard I'll try to show a little more self control in the future"
Bernard:"See that you do or at least choose more wisely, other than that it has been quite pleasant talking with you enjoy the rest of your evening"
Although it is a bit disappointing that the first thing I see when I enter the ballroom was Bernard it is good that I got that out of the way and firmly established the misconception that women are my greatest weakness as this will allow them to think I'm skilled but easy to handle in other words people are more likely send a honey pot rather than an assassin which is to me a lot better than the alternative and could be even fun as I'm used to dealing with honey pot and honey pot assassins from my past life more so than the other.
unfortunately while I was reminiscing about the good old days I had someone approach me he appeared to be a young nobel looking to make a name for himself and I already had made an enemy at this party and had no plans to make more tonight I wanted to space it out so I could pick the best ones for me not appear a boorish cunt that causes trouble every where I go so I come up with the best strategy to use in situations like this one that I hope doesn't fail I snub him by pretending not to notice him approaching me and walk away looking to lose him in the crowd and blend in with a more interesting group but it wasn't easy to lose him for while he was hot on my trail but lucky some obnoxious girl stuck to him and I got better acquainted with miss Michelle Danvers who is in the market for an accident to occur to her sister so she doesn't become the heir.
Michelle:"I heard that you are part spirit is true that spirits follow their contracts to the letter?" as she holds on to my arm pressing it against her impressive breasts as we sit in a love seat in a room just off from the ballroom
Me:"Why are you interested in making a contract with me?" I say with a lust filled smile
Michelle:"I just thought it would be nice to have a man that keeps his word" she leans in placing her head on my shoulder
Me:"Spirits are obligated to do everything in their power to answer their contracts provided the compensation is worth it" I let my hand rest on her thigh
Michelle:"I believe that we can negotiate terms that we both can agree on" she slowly moves my hand higher until I'm almost touching her private place
Me:"So shall we begin?" I say with a smile
