"That was a long break. Are you sure everything is okay down there? Do you want me to take a peek?" As I returned to the terrace of the floating building, Anna asked sarcastically. Conveying that, I made her wait long.

"I wasn't gone that long. It hasn't even been more than 15 minutes." I said in my defense, looking at the beautiful and elegant Anna sitting on the dining table and emptying her one, two… third bottle of wine. Three bottles of wine in 10 minutes. Wow, she is pissed.

"..." Hearing me talk back and not bother to kiss her ass, Anna frowned.

"What? Don't be like that. Since you already helped yourself to the wine. Let's eat, I am hungry." I ignored Anna's frown, and sitting across her, I signaled the staff to bring the dinner.

"And who's fault is that? You're lucky that you look a lot cuter when I am drunk." Replied Anna. Blaming me for leaving her waiting for a while.

Hearing Anna claim that she was drunk, I picked up the wine bottles and checked their labels. Though expensive, they weren't strong enough to get a card emperor drunk. I decided to call Anna out on her drunk act, " Anna, sweetie, even ten of these wine bottles are not enough to get you drunk."

"Are you calling me a liar? Are you telling me that you look this cute all the time? No way." Anna asked, pointing at me.

"What?" Hearing Anna, I was confused. Is she pissed or really drunk?

"Come here, let me check." Anna climbed onto the dining table between us, and kneeling on it, she started to touch and grab my face with her hands.

"Okay, I agree. You are drunk. I think we should head home." Though all signs said Anna was acting drunk, seeing her up close, I felt otherwise. And by home, I meant the temporary military base of southern watch. After the incident Anna caused today morning, I did not dare to take her back to the warehouse. I didn't want Susan to find Anna naked in my bed again. Once maybe a misunderstanding, but twice is more than a coincidence considering the nature of this episode.

"So, you agree that you become cuter when I am drunk." Grabbing me as support, drunk Anna crawled off the table into my embrace and nested on my lap. Her arms warped around my neck and her head rested on my shoulder.

"Anna, Anna…" once in my embrace, Anna fell asleep.

"She smells nice." I could not help but sniff Anna, remembering her pleasant smell. As I was about to carry Anna in a princess carry and drop her off at the temporary base, the catering staff brought dinner.

*Growl* hearing my stomach growl in hunger, I decided to have dinner with Anna sleeping in my embrace. With my physical strength, that wasn't tiresome.

*Sniff**Sniff* "I am hungry."

No, it wasn't me sniffing Anna. It was Anna sniffing the food. She woke up from her half-asleep state and said she was hungry, looking intently at the piece of monster meat steak on my fork.

"Ahhh," ignoring Anna, I moved the fork towards my mouth, but Anna opened her mouth wide. Hearing her, I frowned, thinking that now not only do I have to babysit drunk Anna but also feed her. Still, I diverted the fork with a piece of steak meat to Anna's mouth.

"Ahhh," whenever I would bring the fork close to my mouth, Anna would open her mouth wide as if telling me to feed her. Before I knew it, the plate of juicy steak was empty. Still, I was hungry and drunk Anna is to be blamed for that. And the same repeated with the sides and dessert. I finished the dinner, yet I was hungrier than before.

"Pack a few monster steaks for takeout," I ordered the catering staff, knowing with Anna by my side, I would not be able to eat.

Soon the catering staff returned and handed me a G-rank storage hot case card containing my takeout. Fancy! It seems Nick did not spare any money for hiring the best for dinner. I could not comment on the food because I never got to taste it. Thank you to Anna.

"Boss, would you like me to escort her highness Anna back to the southern watch base?" Nick offered his help. But for some reason, even before considering his offer, I rejected his proposal. Now that came as news to me.

If Nick took Anna back to the safe, I could enjoy my dinner under the starry sky floating above the clouds. Yet, I could not bring myself to hand Anna to Nick. Nick was my calamity daughter gem, which meant he was more loyal to me than himself. So it is not because I don't trust drunk Anna with Nick. Then what else could it be? Was I falling for her?

The same thing happened when Anna and I agreed to be friends. I felt just like right now while asking Anna if she would resume seeing other people. But my heart settled down once she assured me that she wouldn't and instead wait for the one she liked. For some reason, I assumed that the person she likes is me and would continue to be me. Though my heart doesn't flatter in her presence, it gets anxious when she starts to drift apart. I wasn't in love with Anna, but I had grown possessive of Anna.

"No, you are the host of this party. You are needed here. I will take her home since I have nothing to do here anyway. And what about Susan? Is she enjoying herself?" Thinking of Susan, I felt guilt. Another emotion that I have been ignoring. Why do I feel guilty thinking about Susan when with Anna? Why do I think about Susan when with Anna?

Anybody else would enjoy Anna's company, and here I am thinking of Susan and what would she think seeing me carry drunk Anna.
