Prologue

We see a woman looking in the mirror. Her height is around 5.7 or, in Astrean terms, 173 cm in height. Going to her head, she has short white hair, and her eyes are red. She is currently looking at herself in a mirror. She is wearing a black dress with a long blue thing that no one knows why she wears, but she does. Wearing her black dress, she is also wearing a white jacket and at the end of the coat are long blue sleeves.

I sigh, looking at myself. Come on, Alora, it's just another day in Orgate like no other. I turn around and walk over to the big thing that I have yet to decide what to call it. Will I call it my robotic hand? Gun? I'll say it's a gun. I walk over to it and turn it on, and the blue light turns on. It starts hovering next to my shoulder. Please don't let this dating thing be like the others. Even though I know, it will always be the same. I'll have to hope that it won't be the same one day. I look around my room, just making sure I have everything ready for the day. As I scan the room, I can tell I don't need to bring anything. I leave the room and notice my assistant has not arrived yet, or she's making breakfast one of the two. I continue towards the kitchen and can smell someone is making pancakes. "So she was making pancakes," I said to myself quietly.

I walk in and see the fox-girl who's wearing her sleeveless shirt. Which still confuses me because she even wears it during the winter. Anyway, I see her long brown hair moving as she flips the pancakes. Also, seeing her tail wagging gets me onto her skirt. Does she have to add a hole to the back of the dress to put her tail through? Or does she- Oh wait, people make clothing for people with animalistic features. I just noticed that her brown jacket is on her chair with some coffee next to it. "Fiona?" "Why are you making a lot of pancakes?". Her ears perk up after I ask her a question, and she quickly turns around a looks at me. "Alora!" "Hi!" "I was just making extra pancakes if, on a low chance that you did bring a man back here, he could eat some." I give her a confused look and sigh deeply. "Fiona, the chances of me getting a boyfriend or even a husband is low ." One of her ears flops downwards. "You have to stop thinking so negatively, Alora" Her ears perk up again. "You will get a boyfriend. I know you will." I give her an annoyed look. "I understand that you have hope, Fiona, but I am not like Shine, alright. He's got Helesta as a girlfriend for like what? A couple of months, that only happens in fairy tales, and it won't happen to me." As I walk over to the table, I push a button on my gun to make it stop hovering, and it lands.

I can see Fiona think of something. She suddenly walks over to the pancakes, grabs the plates, and brings them to the table. I look at the pancakes. "I forgot you can bake, honestly." As she's grabbing the plates for her and myself, she responds. "Thanks for the compliment Alora." She walks back with plates and sets one of them in front of me. She does the same in front of her chair and sits down. I took a bite of the pancake, and it was good naturally. I was about to take a second one when I heard Fiona speak. "Alora, when you get a boyfriend, will you forget about me?" That question caught me off guard because Fiona doesn't like having serious conversations. "No, I won't forget about you, your my assistant, aren't you. Well.....my assistant at the age of 5." I snicker a little at the comic. "Listen, Fiona; I will never forget about you, so you don't have to worry." I gave her a small smile. I noticed Fiona smile back at me. I suppose that cheered her up. I continued eating the pancakes.

After 20 to 30 minutes or so, Fiona spoke up again. "So, do you think this is going to be the day you're going to find someone?" As she tilts her head a little giving me a questioning look. I look at her. "Probably not because some may want me for my body, some others want to be with me for power or lust, which I despise, Fiona. So probably not." I say disappointedly. As soon as I look up, I see Fiona confused. I give her a confused look as well. "Wait, are you telling me people want you for your body? You don't have a chest like mine. I would think people want me, but not you." I give an annoyed look. "First of all, Fiona, that's kinda rude; you know it's not all about having a chest; you do know that, right?" I take a heavy sigh. "People don't want me for my chest Fiona. They want my thighs" Fiona tilts her head to the left with her ears going left as well. "Can I see your thighs? I want to see why guys want you for your thighs." I give a flustered look and feel a slight blush creep onto my face. "The hell Fiona! No!" She gives me an annoyed look as I can see the ears flop outwards left and right. "Why not?" I can feel the blush disappear, but I am still quite flustered. "Don't why not me, Fiona. I won't show you" I look at a clock on the wall. "Why don't you look at that? I have to go" As I stand up, grab my plate, walk to the sink put the plate in the sink. "Fiona, if you will, please clean the dishes." As I walk over to my mechanical gun, turn it on, and walk out of the kitchen, "Jeez Fiona, you can be a nuisance sometimes," I said this to myself quietly. I walk out of my castle and see my capital going well, people walking around working, buying food, or just some tourist walking around enjoying Orgate. Continuing to look around, I see a small girl across my castle. She seems about 5.4 or 5.5, I can't tell, but she has short blue hair running to her shoulders wearing strange clothing. Looks kind of like a robe? A long dress? I don't know what this girl is wearing, I don't know, but she is just staring at me. What does she want with the Queen of Oragate? I don't know. Being curious, I walk over to the girl across the road. The girl looks at me and gives me something she hands me a note. I open the letter. "Please meet by the Orgatian port at midnight; someone wants to meet you." I look at the girl, and she's gone. Teleportation is relatively complex for a magical being to cast that spell.

Not going to worry about it now I have to go to the Date a Queen place. I'm not particularly eager to go there because it will always end the same. Just me clicking the red button for people never to come to that place ever again. Even if I click the green button and have a date with the guy, he usually uses me for money. I read his face that he has other intentions. So it's usually just me ending the date and never talking to them again after the first date. I walk towards the dating place, waving to people I walk past, and after a 10-minute walk, I walk every day. I look inside and see a lot more people than I usually see. Around 500 to 600 people a day come here, not a thousand. I have to prepare myself for this mentally. As I walk in, I see the same thing as I always see my stand with an arch with hearts around it saying, "The queen of Orgate needs a lover come and woo her." In my mind, I do not like but I never really bothered for them to change because it's fine by me. I walk up to my stand and wait for the first guy to walk up to me. I see someone familiar walk up to me. The man with a rainbow scarf has short white hair like me and is also wearing a black long-sleeved shirt. He also has gray eyes just staring at me. What surprised me the most is that he's here of all places?

"What are you doing here Nowhere, or should I call you by your real name?" Nowhere smiled at me and retorted, "You can call me by my real name. That's fine, so what's up Alora?" I gave him an annoyed look. He never came here before, and now he wants to talk to me like usual. I take a deep breath in and out. "First, Kiro, don't be friendly. Why are you here?" Giving him an annoyed look at Kiro. He drops his smile and gives me a smirk. "Alora, you know why I'm here. I came here to woo you." At the end of that sentence, he put his finger on my nose. I don't want to deal with this right now. "Kiro, are your guards here?" I caught him off guard because after that, he brought his finger away from my nose, and he put on a serious face. "One of them is here; yes, they follow me everywhere; you should know this. This isn't about them right now. I came here not to woo you but for something else entirely." I then look at him directly in the eyes, so he knows I'm listening to him. "Alora, we need to make our secret alliance public; we don't want another Elysium invasion on our hands, now do we?" I responded, "Kiro, I understand you're worried, but during that war, should I remind you that you did not once send anything to help in that war." He gives me a look I can't read. "Listen, I understand you're kinda annoyed by that, but I help repair Anchor, didn't I?" He gives me a small smile. "To be honest, we need to do this, please, Alora." I have multiple questions for you right now, Nowhere. There's no need to have that conversation with him in this damn dating room where everyone can hear. I'll make a meeting and get this over with. "Fine, I'll tell my assistant to make a meeting next week on Thursday. Is that fine with you?" Kiro gives me a genuine smile and starts to leave. "That's not how that works, Kiro. I need to click the yellow button for maybe." He turns around and sits back on the chair. I click the yellow button, and the light above me starts to glow yellow with words in front of my desk that say maybe. "Thanks for your time Alora. I'll head out now."

As he starts to walk away, I want to know why he wanted to do it in the morning of all things. This is going to be a long day. Three hours passed, and I was here with a religious person. "So Alora, please join Frey. She is the best god, unlike that damn Reader." I gave him a what face. "What's wrong with the Reader. The man looks at me sharply and sternly. "Everything." I am getting nowhere with this conversation. I press the red button, and he leaves. 6 more hours have passed, and it's the last guy. What I want to say is, why the hell is Celius here? "Celius, why are you here? I thought you wanted to date Bel, so why are you here?" Celius looks at me with puppy dog eyes. "Alora, please! I need dating advice on how to get Bel to date me." I facepalm at his comments. "You came here from Dragonia to ask me this question." I was not mentally prepared for this question. I look at him directly. "Are you telling me, Celius, that you have been chasing after Bel for a year now, and she still doesn't like you?" Celius then proceeds to nod his head at me. "Aren't you like the 5th popular idol in the world? Couldn't you know sing to her?" I responded because I'm mentally tired from all these guys wasting my time. "I know Alora, but Bel doesn't care about that. I think I ruined our first date because of some scumbag! Decided to ruin it." I can not handle this right now. "Who was the one who ruined your date?" The boy then twitched his eye. "You should know fucking who!" "Can you please not yell in here. Plus, I haven't spoken to your group for four months now. I don't remember." I noticed that Celius got off the chair and then stood on it. He looked down on me to make it look like he was and charge. I also notice on his neck there a bruise? Cut? Something is red on his neck, but I don't know what it is. "It's that fucking elf! He decided to come along and start saying. "WiLLow IS a BeTTer sinGEr theN yOu." "Like seriously, who does he think he is to come and ruin my date? It's fucking annoying!"

I slam my head on the table. I had to speak to 999 men today who were all bad, which led me to. I pull up my head, put my chin on the table and look at Celius. "Celius, calm down, please. Speak to my assistant. She can help." I put my left hand on the table and twist it right to see my watch and see it has been nine hours. I can't even do anything. I then feel something poke me. "Oi, I'm not done with you, Alora. I want to know where your assistant is." I move my eyes to look at Celius. "She's in the castle. Tell them I sent you so you can go in." I lazily use my left hand to grab something from my pocket and give him a medal. He then leaves. Finally, I can take a nap, which I will do. Before I do that tho, I will set a time for 11:50.

As I woke up from that mental draining meeting today. I see all the lights are out since it's closed. I also notice it's 11:30. Who would've thought I would wake up earlier than my alarm. I get up and off my chair and stretch. That was a good sleep. No more guys for the whole day. As I continue out of the building, I start heading towards the Orgatian Ports.
