Chapter 43: I Call This Chaos

Sam felt a presence around him and woke up, but he didn't sense anything hostile or negative, so he didn't panic.

"I thought I concealed my presence completely, but I guess there's no escaping your senses, huh, darling?" a sweet voice said.

Sam noticed a stunningly gorgeous girl with dark hair and dark eyes lying beside him, her arm draped over him in a loving embrace.

"It's not proper for a young maiden to be in a man's room at this hour," Sam said, gently brushing the hair off her forehead.

"It's not wrong if the man is the young maiden's darling, darling," Lucy chuckled and snuggled closer to him.

"When did you get here?" Sam asked.

"A few minutes ago... I was on my way to the training grounds to meet you, like we always did, but then it hit me."

"What?" Sam asked with a curious expression.
