Alien Knights

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Todd, who was restless, read the material report at a glance, signed a series of opinions in a fluttering manner, and threw it back to Ackerman.

The latter said while receiving the document: "Boss, there is a celebration in the tribe tonight, and the leaders hope to invite you to the banquet."

"Not tonight." Todd said firmly, "I have something to do."

Ackerman frowned: "I heard that there are female slaves dancing without clothes..."

"No time."

Under Ackerman's surprised gaze, Todd strode out of the tribal hall and went straight back to the small building of the camp.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Rachel who was lying on the table and was busy arranging the documents. Todd walked over behind her and threw himself into a hug.

Rachel let out a scream, flipped his palms, and activated his mind. Todd's body floated into the air, and after completing a 360-degree rotation, he fell heavily to the ground.

Rachel, who was still in shock, turned around and saw Todd who was lying on the ground grinning, and couldn't help but get angry: "You almost scared me to death!"

Todd made an innocent pose on the ground: "You sent me to find you."

"Tonight, I mean tonight! It's afternoon now!" Rachel stretched out her leg and kicked Todd again: "Didn't you always come back after dark in the past? Why did you come back so early today?!"

Todd said with a smile: "There are few things today, and I can deal with them quickly."

After saying this, he stood up and stretched his hands to Rachel's skirt again.

The latter slapped his hand away and rolled his eyes at Todd: "What's the hurry! The hot water hasn't arrived yet."

"Hot water? What do you need hot water for?!"

"I've been busy recently, don't you plan to take a bath first?"

Todd reacted immediately, and hurriedly said: "Have a good bath, you should take a bath!"

"I have ordered the servants to prepare hot water, and it will be delivered in about an hour or two."

"One or two hours?!" Todd's face collapsed in an instant: "Well... Rachel... Actually, thinking about it, it seems that it doesn't matter if you don't take a shower beforehand..."

Rachel smiled and pushed away Todd who came closer: "That's no good, you go out first, find a place to pass the time, and come back when it's dark."

Todd wanted to argue something, but Rachel pushed him out of the small building without any explanation.

Looking at the closed gate behind him, Todd sighed helplessly, and wandered around the square bored.

It happened that Ackerman walked through the square with a few gladiators and saw Todd bowing and saluting.

Todd glanced at these people and asked casually, "Where are you going?"

Ackerman scratched the back of his head: "Boss, I told you before... tribal gatherings."

"oh?"

Ackerman moved closer, and added in a low voice: "Did you forget? The female slave dances, the kind without clothes..."

With a gloomy face, Todd waved his hand vigorously: "Get lost!"

After finally wandering outside until it was completely dark, Todd knocked on the door of the small building and heard Rachel's voice from inside.

"Come in, the bedroom on the second floor."

Todd suppressed the unstoppable excitement in his heart, took three steps in two, quickly rushed up the stairs, and walked into the bedroom on the second floor.

The diffuse water mist turns the whole room into a dreamlike space, and the faint fragrance of flowers wafts to every corner.

Todd walked to the center of the room, where a large bathtub with a length of two meters and a height of about 80 centimeters was standing there, exuding clear waves of warm water vapor, delicate and freshly picked petals swaying gently with the water patterns, dozens of candles surrounded the room, emitting a warm and ambiguous light.

Todd called softly, "Rachel?"

After a while, a low reply came from the room: "Come into the bathtub."

Todd swallowed, and after taking off all his clothes, he walked into the bathtub with a bit of nervousness and excitement.

The water temperature is neither high nor low, and the amount of water just reaches the chest when a person sits in it.

Surrounded by the warmth of his surroundings, Todd rested his arms on both sides of the tub, resting his head on the wooden cushion behind him, raised his head to look at the ceiling, closed his eyes gently, exhaled slowly, and temporarily forgot all his troubles. For him, being able to take a rare hot bath after being busy is really a great joy in the world.

After the body was completely relaxed, Todd's feet stretched forward, but touched a soft object.

"What?" Todd was startled, and straightened his upper body abruptly. After hesitating for a while, he put his hand into the water and reached forward, and touched something like "black duckweed" with his fingertips.

Suddenly, an undressed woman suddenly came out from under the bathtub, splashing a large amount of water.

Her exquisite facial features are flawless, her skin is dazzlingly white like snow jade, the blush on her cheeks makes people unable to take their eyes off her, and her long breath holding makes her cough and pant non-stop.

Seeing the appearance of the woman in the water, Todd took a breath: "Deirdre?!"

Looking at the man in front of her, Deirdre opened her eyes wide. Her smooth black hair was still dripping with warm water, and her pink cheeks turned red due to her shyness. With a moan, she quickly covered her exquisite curves with her arms, turned around, and turned the delicate and soft Joan back to Todd.

The latter looked at the scene in front of him, his throat was a little dry, and his mind was in confusion: "You...why are you here?"

"I made her come."

Rachel's voice sounded from Todd's back, a plump and warm body stepped into the tub, and pressed tightly against Todd's back.

Seeing the shyness of the woman in front of him and feeling the cuddling of the woman behind him, Todd suddenly felt like falling into a dream, and even spoke a bit intermittently: "All this...what is going on...?"

Rachel leaned her head over Todd's shoulder when she heard the words, and whispered in Todd's ear with her delicate plump lips: "Isn't this a tradition from another world?"

"A tradition from another world?" Todd came back to his senses a bit: "I don't understand what you're talking about."

"At this point, do you still have to play dumb?" Rachel pinched the back of Todd's neck lightly with her fingers: "I've seen the treasures you collected, and there are a lot of mirror images of memories in it, all of which are recorded..."

At this time, Todd wanted to cry, "Rachel, I think you misunderstood, what you said is not traditional at all..."

Listening to the argument between the two behind her, Deirdre looked back cautiously, and happened to meet Todd's eyes, and turned back quickly in fright.

Todd stared at the woman in front of him: "Then how do you explain what happened to her?"

Rachel stretched out her hand and used her mind to turn Deirdre, who was curled up on the edge of the bathtub, and forced her to face herself: "Todd, this is a poor woman. Since she was a child, she has been regarded as a cursed individual because of her psychic powers. Do you really think that her father and clansmen treat her as the same kind? They forbid her to use the powers, completely deny her talent, and make her compromise in inferiority and self-blame, and define herself as a superfluous existence."

Rachel looked at the shy and sad face in front of her, and said to Todd calmly: "Look at her, talk to the dead, summon the soul of the dead, will anyone in this world accept such a woman as a partner? Maybe you are the only one who can bring her happiness and peace... Or are you going to let her continue to feel sorry for herself and die alone?"

Todd shook his head slightly: "Rachel, you may be right, but things like feelings should not be based on needs."

"So you were worried that she was forced?" Rachel chuckled, and said to Deirdre, "Tell him, tell him."

Deirdre, who buried her body in the water, blushed and shook her head desperately: "No one...forces me..."

Rachel bit Todd's earlobe lightly, looked at the surprised expression close at hand, and murmured softly: "My love, life is like the night falls and the setting sun sets, take advantage of every minute and every second tonight..."

There was a splash of water on the arm, and the candles in the room were immediately extinguished, leaving only souls intertwined in the darkness.
