Alec didn't need to give Elysia any further instructions. She knew that he would be able to handle the body without any trouble, so she quickly darted up with her Ash Phoenix perched on her shoulder.
In the end, Alec was quicker on his feet than her, and stealthier than her anyway, so splitting their tasks this way was more beneficial.
Alec was close behind her.
These guards weren't the ones that he had Loeri spore, and they were likely part of the internal security that guarded this place.
He could hear them thundering down the metal stairs now. Suddenly, his brain drifted a little as he thought about what a huge security flaw that was. To be able to hear the security guards coming down metal starirs.
Loeri, at this moment, said nervously, "Master, I don't have enough spores to spore these new people right now."
Alec blinked, but didn't let this information faze him. It wasn't like this was the first situation he'd been in a spot.
And his skills were good enough that he wouldn't have any trouble escaping from this place.
Not to mention, the guards outside were still under Loeri's control.
Though, he really had to confirm Loeri's skillset for future consideration.
Alec launched himself up over the rails, then bounded up from floor to floor using only the railings.
Honestly, it wasn't as hard as it sounded.
Within half a minute, Alec was already at the top of the place and ready to leave.
Elysia had already exited after Loeri got the guards to open the door for her.
Now, the doors slid open on their own for Alec, and he dashed out, hearing the shouts of alarm from below.
"Make sure they remember nothing about our encounter, Loeri."
"Yes, master!" Loeri said, sounding much too happy. It was happy that it got to use its skills to help its master, and nothing else mattered. Not even the fact that she wasn't able to eat yummy things right now.
Alec quickly made his way to Elysia's room, which was beside his.
They'd originally been staying in separate rooms, but people wouldn't find it weird if he and Elysia were staying in the same room considering their couple status.
However, it was the one line that he'd drawn for himself for the duration of their 'acting' on the ship. It looked like it was about to end right now.
He didn't feel very safe right now allowing Elysia to stay alone. Not when they suddenly had another burden to take care of.
One that was in critical condition, no less.
It was probably easier for them if they worked together to hide this young man who looked like he was on the verge of death.
Elysia instantly opened the door as he approached and shut the door immediately without a sound after he entered.
Alec quickly slapped a body paralysis seal on the unknown young man, and it stopped him from moving unnecessarily.
It would buy them some time until they were able to find a solution to what was ailing him.
The paralysis seal was originally made for this purpose, after all. Not just for Alec to halt annoying pests that he didn't want to deal with.
Likely, there would be security guards that would be barging into rooms to check whether or not their 'escaped' prisoner was in their rooms.
However, he was made to wonder if they were able to invade every room.
Were the people behind this ship powerful enough to do that?
Or would they have to let it go?
Alec had a feeling that it as the former.
The System grabbed the young man who was deathly still and shoved him under the bed.
Elysia's lips curled in amusement, and she opened her mouth to say something about 'the monster under the bed', but before she could say anything, she let out a little squeak when Alec grabbed her, pulling her closer.
Before Elysia knew what was happening, she smelt the soft but masculine scent of Alec's skin. It was a mix of ink, paper and blood, and it was so Alec that it delayed her thought process for a moment.
However, that moment passed, and her face burned red, which was luckily hidden since she was pressed close to Alec.
Alec picked her up and walked towards the bed, and she squeaked again, looking at Alec in alarm.
"Wha – oh," she said, her mind connecting the dots when she thought about the situation they were in.
Sure enough, Alec could hear the banging on doors further down and shouts for people to comply though the rooms were supposedly soundproof.
However, when Alec looked down at Elysia's red face, and her wide eyes, he felt like all his control flew out the window.
Suddenly, he felt like teasing her.
She was still cradled gently to his chest, and he placed her down on the bed.
Playing her part, Elysia wrapped her arms around Alec's neck, though she couldn't stop her natural reaction from coming out.
There was a shy smile on her face, and her face was still burning.
She'd never been this close to a male before. And her friend slash boss at that!
The sounds of the security guards were coming nearer quickly, and just as they were at the room next door, Alec leaned down and brushed his lips against her cheek.
It was almost impossible, but Elysia's face burned even redder at his actions, and she felt like her brain was shorting out.
Her thoughts were incoherent and jumbled, and she had never experienced such a reaction before.
Her own strange reaction caused her to be even more flustered, and Alec chuckled.
If this was an anime, her eyes would be swirls by now.
Alec was halfway between acting and succumbing to his own hidden desires, and he felt like he was out of his mind. There was very little control that he still leashed.
The System brushed the strands of silvery hair that were framing her face, and the action was so gentle that Elysia didn't know how to react to it at all. Was this really all an act?
At this moment, the strange atmosphere between them was instantly broken by the security guard slamming their fists on the door.
Elysia jolted, her face still the same hue of red.
Alec pulled back with a faint, lingering regret on his mind that he couldn't help but hold on to.
He walked up to the door and opened it, a dark expression on his face.
It was an expression that Elysia had never seen on Alec before, and the contrast of it from his usual gentle smiling face made her heart thump.
There was something dark and predatory in his gaze that caused goosebumps to form on her arm.
Her face wasn't far away from steaming.
Alec glared at the security guard that had interrupted them.
"What is it?" Alec asked darkly.
The security guard stared at him blankly before trying to move past Alec.
Alec blocked him with his body. "What do you want?" he asked again, his voice still as dark as it was previously.
The security guard shivered, and he felt as if he was submerged in ice water. Was he actually afraid of this slip of a man? Impossible!
"There's a criminal on the loose, and we're checking rooms to ensure that he's not here!"
Alec sneered at him. "Well, as you can see, there's no one else here but my girlfriend and I. I assure you, the fact that you are wasting our time is not appreciated."
The security guard looked like he was about to insist, but then he saw the girl on the bed that was blushing bright red, picking at her dress.
Alec blocked his vision. "Leave," he said coldly.
The security guard paused. It looked like they were about to get hot and heavy, and despite knowing that he should be doing his duty, he honestly didn't really want to get into that.
He nodded sharply, before leaving the couple.
Alec shut the door but didn't lock it, and he had to stop himself from slamming his head on the door.
What did he just to do Elysia before the security guard came?!
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Alec didn't need to give Elysia any further instructions. She knew that he would be able to handle the body without any trouble, so she quickly darted up with her Ash Phoenix perched on her shoulder.
