CEO In A Fantasy World Chapter 51: Chapter 51: Grand Ball: Part 1

He lowered his gaze and saw Ahri in a deep sleep while curled on top of him, Caesar shook his head wryly and waited for her to wake up.

As if Ahri's body instinctually knew that someone was staring at her while sleeping, her eye's fluttered slightly and she raised her body.

"Good morning," Caesar said quietly.

Ahri rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked at Caesar with a dead-pan expression, once she remembered what happened last night her face turned a little hint of red and she averted her eyes

"I-i don't mind you doing 'that' but give me a warning next time," she said in a very quiet voice as she got off the bed.

"Haha, doesn't the surprise factor make it more exciting?" Caesar chuckled softly and also stepped off the bed.

Ahri glanced at Caesar with a devious smile "I won't let you play with me as you please… If you don't give me a warning beforehand, I won't let you embrace me again" she said as her gaze lowered to his crotch.

Caesar looked at her speechlessly and laughed "you win, my queen, I will be sure to give you a warning next time"

Ahri lifted her chin up and softly laughed in her hand "you're not the only one with cards to play you know?" she said amusedly.

Caesar walked towards his closet and gave her a side-wards glance "but, your card only works if you, yourself can abide by it"

Caesar didn't turn around to see her twitching smile and rummaged through his closet… "I will be taking you to the ball tonight, wear something nice"

Ahri tilted her head in confusion "a ball?"

Caesar turned his head and explained patiently "it's somewhat like a party, you will be able to greet many n.o.bles"

Ahri's face turned troubled and she sat down on the bed "I don't think you should take me there…" She said dejectedly.

Caesar that was rummaging through his closet halted his action and looked at her with confusion "why should I not bring you?"

Ahri touched her ears, "humans look down on our race… I'm afraid your prestige will go down because of me"

Caesar walked toward Ahri and crouched down to look deeply into her eyes "whether you were the most hated race or most loved, I would still bring you to the party" he said soothingly.

"W-why? Don't you care about the enemies you could make or the possible problems that could occur because of bringing me?"

Caesar stood up slowly and rubbed her hair "Ahri, my view on this world is vastly different from others, when I look at you I see a beautiful and kind woman, whether you have ears or a tail… None of that matters to me"

Tears threatened to fall out her eyes as she looked at him "that's not the point, I know you care for me, it's just that I don't want to be a burden for you"

Caesar peered into her eyes with a deep and unfathomable light…

"If members of your race are slaves, I will abolish slavery… If members of your race are looked down upon, I will pull you up to where they will look up to you. I refuse to live by the rules of this world, so I will make my own" he said in an extremely domineering tone.

Ahri looked at Caesar with shock before she laughed cheerfully and put on a teasing smile " then I will wear that s.e.xy dress you love so much"

"That sight is reserved for me" Caesar answered back calmly and began rummaging through his closet once again.

Ahri just smiled and quietly walked behind Caesar, she put her arms around him and hugged him tightly.

"thank you" she whispered sweetly.

They stood in that position for a few minutes before Ahri finally let go… "bring my basket out, I have a cute dress inside" Ahri said.

Caesar nodded his head and took the basket out of his spatial ring and turned away… he could hear the sound of her undressing behind him... the thought of turning to peek was extremely tempting, but, he held himself back.

"You can look now" Ahri called out from behind him.

Caesar turned around and took in a breath of cold air, she was wearing a long black dress with a beautiful violet flower pattern, her upper back was bare and the dress had a very s.e.xy feel to it. It fit her long purple hair and yellow eyes perfectly.

*clap*

Caesar clapped in hands and nodded his head in appreciation

"Very nice!" he said with an impressed tone as he gave her a thumbs up.

A smile blossomed on her face and she looked at Caesar with antic.i.p.ation "your turn"

Caesar picked out a white b.u.t.ton-up shirt with a black bow tie, dark grey vest with four b.u.t.tons that has a vertical line pattern, raven black slim fit pants that also have a vertical line pattern. And a black long sleeved suit jack that went over it all, he topped it off with a pair of white gloves and dress shoes.

"Okay, you can look," Caesar said.

Ahri which was currently looking away turned around, she nodded in approval and smiled

"not as flashy as I thought, but still looks very handsome" She praised.

Caesar smiled and brushed his long white hair, Ahri did the same and soon they were ready.

Caesar looked at the sun that was high in the air and chuckled softly "it would appear that we prepared a tad bit early, shall we play a board game to pa.s.s the time"

"Sure!" Ahri replied energetically.

5 hours later...

*grr*

Ahri was gnashing her teeth in anger and practically growling at Caesar,

"you must be cheating, this is a luck based game…" Ahri said angrily…

"Don't forget that you lost the bet, my darling" Caesar laughed happily.

*knock*

*knock*

"Young master, the grand ball is starting soon, are you prepared?"

Caesar stood up and straightened his collar, he hooked his arm around Ahri's and opened up the door.

"We are ready."

Sebastian studied both of them and nodded in approval, "you will be walking in after the king, I will tell you when to walk inside. For now, follow me" Sebastian bowed deeply and started walking through the hallway.

Caesar walked with Ahri and followed after Sebastian, after about 15 minutes of walking they entered into a dimmed and empty room that had a wooden door on the other side… The rest was empty.

"This door leads to the hallway that is next to the throne, this is where you will walk through"

Caesar nodded his head in comprehension and waited patiently until it was their turn to present themselves.

He could feel Ahri's slightly sweaty hands so he turned towards her and flashed a smile "are you feeling excited thinking about when I take what you owe me from winning that bet?" he asked teasingly.

"Hmph, don't think I will be that easy" she smiled back and the atmosphere eased quite a bit.

After about 10 minutes of waiting, Sebastian finally poked his head out of the door and said: "okay, you are up… Follow the hallway down"

Caesar didn't reply and walked through the wooden door, they entered into a nearly black hallway… they walked for about 10 seconds and finally, they could see light at the end of the hallway.

Caesar gripped Ahri's hand tighter as they walked out of the hallway, bright lights soon a.s.saulted their eyes almost making them blink.

Gasps of admiration resounded throughout the palace halls…

"Wow, he puts all of the other n.o.bles to shame," a n.o.blewoman said with a sigh.

"He isn't only the most handsome in Rahvin kingdom, but I'm willing to bet in the whole world," another n.o.blewoman said with stars in her eyes.

"Wow, who is that beauty by his sides?" a n.o.bleman asked in astonishment

"A f-fox kin?" another n.o.ble asked slightly dumbfounded…

Soon loud cheers blocked out the n.o.bles voices… The citizens started applauding and cheering loudly, Caesar could even recognize a few of his knights in the bunch.

*whistle*

"It's the marshall!"

"I want him to come to meet my family!" a random knight said with a wide smile.

"Is this the man that trained you to become so strong papa?" a young boy asked with a curious look.

----

Caesar looked at all of this with a smile on his face and walked to the middle of the ball, he waved his hands and greeted everyone.
----

A young n.o.ble with short brown hair and a freckled face ground his teeth in anger, "how dare he bring a slave race to the ball, is he trying to step on the prestige of the n.o.bles? Those races are merely used to relieve our frustration on"

"You must stay calm my liege, that is the crown prince you are talking about"

"Hehe, go bring me one of my fox-kin slaves… I wonder if he dares to do anything in front of all these n.o.bles and commoners"

"M-master, I don't think that is a good idea… Maybe you should just suck it up and not cause any problems for your father"

"Heh, I am of n.o.ble blood… It doesn't matter how great these plebians are, I was born greater than them and will always be better no matter what they accomplish" The n.o.ble answered back with arrogance.

"B-but my liege, that is the same man that killed the previous crown prince in broad daylight… don't you think this is, well… a bit, stupid?" The servant tried hard to find the words.

"Preposterous, go bring me that fox-kin slave so I can humiliate his partner in front of his face, or I am going to take your wife as my next slave" The n.o.ble practically roared out.

The servant trembled in fear and bowed deeply "as you command, my liege"
