《What would you do if you suddenly fell in love?》In love?

After a long round of pleasure in bed, Sian began to reflect on recent events, wondering why the woman said this was the second best night of her life with a sad expression.
As he thought about what to do next, the time slowly passed and he realized that the woman was already asleep.
With her still in his arms, and stroking her hair, he stared at her deeply, his head overflowing with thoughts.
‘Hmmm… Why am I being so kind to her? This is not typical of me, I almost never give a damn about the feelings of others.'
‘Did I fall in love with her?’
'No, it couldn't be, after all I don't even know her. '
'Maybe it's because she looks so much like that woman, the only difference between them is race. '
'Hmmm... but I can't deny that she's amazing, having someone like her warm up my bed every night wouldn't be a bad idea. '
‘Wait... I'm starting to doubt my own thoughts... Maybe I'm really…’
‘Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm…’
“Sigh~~~~~”
‘Thinking so much about it won't solve anything, I'll leave it for later, whatever it is, it will be.’
Sian closed his eyes and fell asleep.

The next morning.
After waking up, Sian looked at the woman who was sleeping in his arms. He caressed her head with a look of affection.
'This is not love, it must be just a sudden and fleeting passion because of her appearance... '
'Yes, that must be it... '
While he was involved in thoughts, a soft voice sounded.
“Good morning!”
He noticed a pair of brown eyes looking at him and said.
“Good morning! Hm... I know it's a little late for that, but my name is Sian, what's yours?”
“Ophilia.”
“Ophilia... It's a good name, it's a pleasure to meet you.”
“The pleasure is all mine.” She continued, “You woke up pretty excited, want to pick up where we left off?”
“I'd love to,” he said smiling, “But unfortunately I still have a few things to do, and we can't let... Errr... what was his name again? Bodo, Borbo... Balbo?”
“Badonis.” She said.
“Yeah yeah, this is it, we can't keep him waiting that long, after all we used his room last night.”

Ophilia stood up while saying, “He's very greedy and avaricious, with the amount you paid, I'm sure he wouldn't mind if you spent more time.”
***
After leaving the room together with Ophilia, Sian found Badonis, who was already waiting outside with a wide smile on his face.
“Good morning young mister, how was your evening?” Badonis spoke the moment he saw Sian leave.
“It was a wonderful evening, Ophilia is an exceptional woman, worth every penny.” Sian said with a smile.
“I'm glad to hear that!” Badonis opened an even bigger smile.
‘This old man is so happy that looks like he's gonna hug me any minute now, it gives me the creeps.’
“I've got a few things to do, so I'm gonna be on my way.” Sian said as he was preparing to leave, but before he even moved a step, his gaze passed through Ophilia, which had a calm and bright atmosphere.
'Hmm... I have a feeling that if I leave like this, I'll regret it in the future. '
'Even if it's a sudden passion, I think it's worth a try, after all, it's not often that I get this feeling... '
Seeing that Sian had not left the place, Badonis asked flatteringly, “Does the young mister need anything else?”
“How about we talk business?”
“What kind of business?” Seeing Sian's serious face, Badonis asked cautiously.
“Something beneficial for both of us, I hear you have insightful eyes for business, I'm sure you'll like it.” Sian spoke as he stuck his hand in his pocket to pick up a leather bag with some coins.
“What would the young mister like to buy?” The old man asked excitedly, obviously he should be remembering the gold coin Sian spent last night.
It was a much higher amount than a normal person would pay for a prostitute, especially if she were an ordinary prostitute, even some upper-class people wouldn't pay that price lightly.
After all, a gold coin could spend almost a whole year going to the brothel and spend a full night with one of the prostitutes and yet he spent all that money on just one ordinary woman.
“Sell me Ophilia!”
Hearing Sian's words, the old man seemed even happier when he answered.

“Oh, so that was it, even though she can't read, she's still a great choice, just look at her and you'll see how well cared for, has no scars, her teeth are still intact and since she does not work in the sun or anything heavy, her skin is still smooth.”
Badonis took breath and continued enthusiastically.
“She also knows how to sew, cook, wash, and can still warm her bed every night.”
“The cost would be around 20 silver coins, but since the young mister seems to have liked her, I will give it to you as a symbol of our future friendship. Of course, if the young mister wishes, you can choose any of the other women, they are also in great condition.”
'Hmm... This old sycophant seems to want to bond with me. '
'Well, whatever, after all, 'Never look a gift horse in the mouth’.'
“Then I will accept your goodwill.” Sian said as he reached out to Badonis.
After both of them shook hands, Sian turned his gaze at Ophilia, only to realize that even after she was given as a gift, her expression did not change at all.
'Maybe for her it's just another ordinary day, after all she's a slave of a brothel, she must not have had many choices in her life... '
He continued to examine her only to realize that although she was wearing a simple gray tunic, there was no hiding to that voluptuous curves.
'A truly diabolical figure, even this long tunic can't hide her charm. '
Having noticed the look of Sian, Ophilia gave a slight smile as if it were a beautiful blooming flower.
‘So beautiful...’
‘... Okay, I'm starting to think that even though this is a sudden passion, it's definitely not fleeting. '
After ordering the thoughts, Sian said.
“Could you arrange a change of clothes for Ophilia?”
“Of course, I was already planning this, after all you can't give a gift without the wrapping.”
After saying that Badonis called a maid and ordered her to prepare some changes of clothes.
“While the maid prepares the clothes, we will go to my office to cancel the current slave possession contract and prepare a new one so that the young mister can officially become the owner of Ophilia.”
Arriving at the office, Badonis turned to Ophilia and said, “Now let's cancel the old contract.”
At that moment, Badonis began to chant a spell.
A few seconds later, a purple mark of rounded shape appeared on Ophilia's forehead and a faint mist of light blue color came out of the mark and both dispersed.
“Now we can make the new contract.”
Badonis got a new contract out of the desk drawer.
“Please put a drop of your blood here so we can proceed.”
Sian took the pin delivered by the old man and pierced his thumb, dropping a drop of blood on the contract.
Turning around to Ophilia, he said, “Since it's been a long time since you've become a slave, I must remind you that the moment the magical essence of your new master is going to get into your head will cause pain and discomfort, you must endure it and not resist otherwise the contract will fail and we would have to start again, now I'm going to start.”
After a few seconds, as Badonis continued the enchantment, the contract in his hand shone and a light blue mist came out of it, heading towards the head of Ophilia, who seemed to be nervous.
By the time the mist touched her head, her expression changed from nervousness to pain, despite this, she tried to endure it.
“Aahhhh!” But ended up releasing a groan of pain, putting the hands on her head.
The moment that he heard Ophilia's laments, Sian hesitated a little before embracing her and cast a light spell quickly to ease the pain.
“Do not worry, this will not last long, just hold on a little longer and the discomfort will pass.” He whispered in her ear.
'This is certainly very different from my normal self, I can't deny it anymore, I fell in love at first sight, it seems that seeing her and remembering that person made me soft... '
“Sigh~~~~~”
Shortly after Sian's long sigh, Badonis ended the enchantment and the same purple mark as before appeared on her forehead, but soon disappeared.
“Okay, now she's officially the young mister's slave.” He told Sian.
