A brief respite ensued, during which Reaves felt a charge of energy coursing through him. Perhaps it was the potent effects of the elixir or the thrill of their clandestine moment, but he found himself eager for more. With a renewed sense of desire, he positioned himself for another round, ready to explore the depths of pleasure once again.
However, their intimate reverie was abruptly shattered when one of the maids, drawn by the audible clatter of plates breaking, entered the room. Her concerned gaze met the disheveled state of the breakfast table and the disarrayed room, prompting her to inquire if they needed any assistance.
She gasped when she saw them in an awkward position, they were both fully naked and seemed to be in an intimate moment, she abruptly turned around and apologized for her trespass. "I am so sorry! I heard the plate shatter and I was concerned, that's why I came in to check if everything is alright, I am so sorry sir! I am so sorry for trespassing ma'am! I don't know you are busy" she explained herself while bowing her head, fear could be seen all over her face.
Caught off guard, both Reaves and Rosa exchanged glances, their faces betraying a mix of embarrassment and amusement. "It is alright you can go out, we will call you if we need anything," they both said simultaneously in a hastily orchestrated performance, they declined the maid's offer, quickly donning their clothes as if to conceal the passionate escapade that had unfolded just moments before.
As the maid left, the room, once a sanctuary of desire, now bore witness to the aftermath of their clandestine encounter. Reaves and Rosa, left alone in the aftermath, couldn't help but exchange a knowing glance, Rosa giggled in bewilderment.
Reaves had not always been working in his office all day, there were times he would find time to go out of his office into the nobles recreation center in the city to have fun. He was not the only leader doing this, it was common knowledge in the city that the nobles had recreational centers where they used to play all types of games and have fun with bets.
As the burdens of leadership momentarily lifted, Reaves decided to indulge in a leisurely afternoon, a respite from the demands of his position. With a swift command to his dedicated secretary, a reliable figure who had proven his trustworthiness over time, "You make sure to take care of everything in my absence, I want to go out and may not be back anytime soon. Take care of those files you brought in the morning and let the workers do what I told you yesterday" he gives his command to the secretary.
The Secretary nodded his head in understanding "Anything else sir?" he asked
"Tom, I thought you'd be knee-deep in the Nexus case. What brings you to the chessboard today?" Reaves inquired, his eyes reflecting a genuine interest in the developments of the ongoing investigation.
Tom, with a contemplative expression, responded, "Reaves, the case is more intricate than I anticipated. Clues lead to dead ends, and it's proving to be a challenge. But even in the midst of such investigations, one needs a break, a moment to recalibrate the mind." Tom responded with a sense of duty.
Reaves nodded in understanding, acknowledging the complexities that often accompanied high-profile cases. Reaves chuckled, appreciating the analogy. "Indeed, my friend. A strategic retreat can offer fresh perspectives."
Meanwhile, across the chess room, a group of nobles engaged in a spirited discussion about recent events in Castra City. The topic inevitably turned to Nexus, the central figure in both the attempted murder and the recent collaboration between the Russell and Kay families.
Reaves overheard fragments of conversation—whispers about Nexus's resilience, the intricate alliances forming in the aftermath of the celebration incident, and the impact on the city's power dynamics.
"Shall we play together, or you have got a partner?" Reaves proposed.
"Alright, it will be my honor" Tom responded and they found their seat.
As the pieces moved with calculated precision, the conversation between Reaves and Tom meandered between the moves on the board and the intricacies of the Nexus case. Each move seemed to carry unspoken implications, mirroring the subtleties of the investigations unfolding in the city.
Tom, with a furrowed brow, considered his options on the chessboard. "Reaves, the case is like a puzzle with missing pieces. I'm hoping a strategic move here might trigger a breakthrough there," he mused, the lines on his forehead deepening in concentration.
Reaves, a seasoned player in both the political landscape of Castra City and the strategic game of chess, reciprocated the sentiment. "Tom, sometimes the pieces on the board and the pieces in an investigation align in unexpected ways. It's the interplay of moves that define the outcome."noVε.lb-1n
