PART 1 – End of the Banquet!

—————————

Skarla was in an excellent mood, having had fun with the duchess, which she left brewing for a long time.

It was quite fun and unique. Letiphia particularly reminded him of one of the few people he came to interact with at Murim in his second life. She was a formidable Martial Artist who quickly gained renown for her enormous talent and was highly sought after.

Even Skarla lusted after her when she saw it—a cold beauty who was on top of the world, coming from a powerful Martial Arts family. She was unreachable, not to mention that, at the time, Skarla had no plans to expose herself.

As for why he found her, It was at one of the many meetings that took place with the Murim faction he belonged to to socialize, and as he came from less prestigious clans, he only made friends with those who could be useful to him and avoided large clans, so he never attracted attention until, unfortunately, he was discovered. .

Letiphia reminded him of that woman on a podium, coveted by all men, even those from previous generations, all trying to marry their descendants to her, but she refused, and even the leaders of her clan had no power over her future partner.

Skarla particularly could have tried and succeeded, as she had already said that she would only accept a man capable of defeating her, whereas naturally the world would only accept those who are approximately her generation.

Skarla, naturally, at the time, had the power to defeat her easily, but again, she couldn't expose herself for obvious reasons.

…

Letiphia, on the inner balcony of her party room, officially ended the banquet, asking forgiveness from many of her guests for her lack of presence. She was very busy with problems that arose at the last minute.

While Letiphia was speaking, Skarla went in search of her group, discovering that the outside of the castle was a real mess, with many drunk people and a pungent stench that would soon be cleaned up by wizards.

Amidst so much chaos, she found her group spread out, and with Pauline being among the other bards, there seemed to be some kind of music and singing competition.

Skarla soon found Belinda and Cecil, the lesbian couple, passed out, about to be molested by other drunks. Skarla arrived in time to chase them away and catch their companions, who seemed to have gone too far.

The stench of cachaça coming from their bodies is disgusting. She walked a little further, spreading her senses, where she noticed that, due to the spreading wave of her senses, some sensitive people noticed her and looked at her in confusion and doubt.

Skarla ignored them, searching for the energy signatures of her companions. She could spread her perception to try to see the environment, but it would cost much more and the range would be limited. She would also enter a lot of information into her mind, which is not good.

That's why she only did a basic energy scan—simple, easy, and apparently very noticeable to someone who is strong.

Ignoring them, she soon found Holga, who was panting heavily, naked with her big, fat penis exposed, which is lying flaccid on the floor, and semen accumulated at the tip.

Looking around, it is an area where some orgy must have taken place; she found Phinel and Tropim here too.

"Hey boss… came to participate?" - Holga asked, smiling and her cock pulsing as she watched Skarla.

"The banquet is over, and now it's time to rest; we will leave tomorrow." -Skarla said, and Holga snorted, but when she was about to say something, she noticed in the corner of her eyes guards and magicians starting a session of pushing and casting spells.

They were detoxing and healing people, shouting that it was time to move. Snorting, Holga stood up, and a smiling Phinel approached.

"It's a shame it's over; there were a lot of interesting people; I got a lot of EXP; I'm almost leveling up." - Phinel said happily as he stretched, exposing his tall and slender physique, smooth white skin, toned muscles, and beautiful face.

Skarla briefly glanced at him, admitting that Phinel is indeed very handsome and charming. But stop thinking about useless things. - "Grab your sticky ass over there, and let's go to the others." - She said she was looking at a sleeping Tropim with a perky bottom, with the hair in that region quite sticky.

"Hehehe~ did you know he was mostly active? But then, where is he? Oh! There!" - Phinel pointed in a direction. Skarla took a look, and there was a tall and imposing figure greater than 2 meters tall, carrying a small barrel in his hands and drinking its contents.

A large, hairy body and a tiger's head exude a lot of strength. - "It was only when that big guy approached that Tropim, all arrogant and confident, started to stick his ass up and receive everything. It seems that our dear friend knows how to be passive and can handle big things."

Skarla rolled her eyes, grabbed Holga's shoulder, and let her energy course through her body.

Aahh~

Holga groaned and soon found herself standing, opening and closing her hand, not understanding what was happening. - "Hell! Do you know how to cure?!"

"Yes and no. All I did was inject pure energy into your body, which you absorbed to restore your vigor, nothing more." -Skarla said unconcernedly that it's not a complicated technique, but since she tried that magical marijuana and had an epiphany, her control and purity of her energy have become much better.

So simply put, she can now make others absorb her energy, which is extremely pure. Regarding the electrical property, unless she wants to destroy their bodies, she will naturally separate the property.

"Curious, can you do it on me too?" - Phinel asked curiously, and Skarla, shrugging his shoulders, touched his chest, and he grunted, closing his eyes, his cute, long ears bouncing slightly, and his exposed penis rising, which is particularly thin but quite long.

"Wow! This is really incredible; it's like I'm drinking a stamina potion, and... heavens, it's still gradually increasing my energy. When will it stop?!" - Phinel was shocked, opening and closing his fists, then looking at Skarla. - "How much energy did you use on me?"

"Only 5 units."

"WHAT?! Only 5 units of energy for such a drastic effect?! With this, you can literally heal an exhausted army to keep fighting! Teach me!" - Phinel's eyes shone intensely.

"There's no way; it has a correlation with secret techniques." - Skarla said, and Phinel was sad, so turning around, he looked for his pants. - "Sons of bitches, they stole my pants!" - He cursed, growling, and… whistling lightly. He grabbed the pants of someone who had passed out, taking them off their bodies and putting them on, before lifting the passed-out Tropim.

Skarla also filled Tropim with her energy, and he grunted, opening his eyes and growling. - "FUCK!" - He screamed, shaking all over and his hair shaking.

…

Sitting next to a tea table, Viper was enjoying some tea, while a snort and struggle came from the side, where we can find a blue beauty with long blue tentacles coming out of her head, tied up and with her mouth gagged, her tentacles also tied, and her pussy soaked in her liquids.

Viper calmly glanced in one direction, finding a well-dressed Skarla, carrying two drunks, while following her were 2 men and 1 woman, all half-naked, with Tropim only wearing a slightly torn shirt while his butt and crotch were exposed. He didn't find his pants; it was probably one of the many torn rags or it was stolen.

"I see you had fun too." - Skarla said, smiling slightly.

"She wouldn't stay quiet, and seeing so many orgies, she was getting involved in practically all of them. She almost died of dehydration, so I thought it was better for her own safety if she stayed that way." - Viper said calmly as he took a glass, sent it into a bucket, and threw the glass over Calah, growling.

Skarla, frowning, kneeled down, touching Calah's forehead. - "What did she eat?"

"I have no idea, but in the last few hours, she hasn't eaten anything." - Viper said, shrugging her shoulders, but soon became serious when she noticed the seriousness on Skarla's face.

"She was drugged; let me detox her." -Skarla said, injecting large amounts of energy. Calah grunted loudly, shivering and becoming numb, but soon the gag in her mouth was removed, and she vomited a lot of liquid.

Viper was calm. - "Really? I thought she was just in heat as usual, but it's not uncommon at parties like these." - She said it with a shrug.

Skarla sighed and released Calah, who groaned as she rubbed her wrists and tentacles. - "I could have tied it a little lighter; I'm all sore." - Calah growled.

"Said the bitch who rolled her eyes and came just from some touch." - Viper said.

"It's the aphrodisiac's fault... I got the dosage wrong." - She sighed.

"Did you get drugged?!" - Skarla raised her voice.

"I wanted to drug Viper so she could loosen up a little; she was frowning at the entire party and refusing so many advances from beautiful people. In the end, it seems like I was the drugged one." - Calah said.

"Ah, so that was that powder you put in my drink? It's explained." - Viper said, laughing disdainfully.

(Note: Calah got a 19 in Stealth, but Viper got a 19 in Perception, so by 1 point she doesn't drug Viper.)

Skarla gave an intense look at Calah, who backed away apologetically. Viper rolled her eyes. - "I think Pauline is with the other bards, but I don't know where Sasha is."

"I know where Pauline is, and I've already spoken to her; she'll meet us at the bar. As for Sasha, I don't know where she is, but she's a big girl, and I think it's hard not to meet her." - Said Skarla who led the group to leave,.

But when they were about to leave with the crowd, some people were going up, and among them was Sasha. - "Skarla, are you finished with your affairs?"

"Hmm? Yes, but where has she been?" - Skarla asked curiously.

"I don't really like this type of environment, so I trained, relaxed, and talked to some acquaintances. I even want to introduce someone to you." - Said Sasha smiling.

"Would it be that man?" - Skarla asked, looking at a short figure just behind Sasha, who was standing still, as if waiting to be introduced.

But there is a problem: this short figure has dark skin, long and pointed ears, long black hair that reaches her large behind, slightly small breasts, the size of buns, a very feminine figure, and a beautiful and effeminate face.

Everything indicates that it is a woman, a very young and cute one, almost like a child, but Skarla can feel that it is a man, where the energies in his body are extremely abnormal and forced.

"It is a great pleasure to meet you, Miss Skarla. I'm Zenyo Gander." - Said the jovial figure in a very polite and eloquent tone, bowing in respect.

"Man? Who?" - Calah asked, looking around and focusing on the curious and cute, quite effeminate figure who introduced himself as Zenyo. - "This cute little girl?"

Calah looked at Skarla. - "Do you have vision problems? Did you smoke any more of that weed?" - She raised an eyebrow.

Zenyo smiled slightly, not seeming offended. He didn't see the need to lose control over something so simple, as he had already heard it countless times during his long life.

In Skarla's case, his eyes shone with joy, as it was the first time in his life that someone recognized him as a man. For someone like Zenyo, this is something very significant.

"Again, let me introduce you and Calah; stop being rude! Zenyo Gander is derived from one of the largest merchant groups on the continent, the Gander Group. It can be said that he is one of the most powerful men on the continent." - Sasha said, smiling proudly.

"And how do you know, Mr. Gander?" - Phinel asked with a lot of respect and curiosity in his tone.

"Please let me answer that." - Zenyo intervened before Sasha could respond. - "I am an old colleague of Sasha's father; he has done escort missions for my company many times and is practically a VIP at my facilities. I got to know little Sasha over the years and watched her grow into a beauty." - He smiled slightly and had a meaningful look, also casting it at Skarla, Belinda, Cecil, Calah, and Viper, where he looked at Holga, but seeing as she wasn't wearing anything that disguised the member between her legs, Zenyo didn't give him a second look.

Naturally, Skarla and Viper noticed this, knowing what the personality of the short, mysterious figure before them must be.

"Okay, but how about we find a better place to talk? Of course, if you have business with the duchess or anyone in the castle, you can go." - Skarla said calmly.

"Oh, I have no business; in fact, I have already resolved everything. I will also participate in the Great Mission. How about I accompany you, and we actually talk?" -Zenyo smiled happily, but most of his attention was on Skarla.

Skarla felt that her excellent mood might actually get worse now; it was an instinct she had.

—————————

PART 2 – Zenyo Gander!

—————————

Everyone except for Skarla, Viper, and Sasha went to sleep. Everyone celebrated a lot in the last few days; even Phinel, who has a high resistance to sleep, didn't sleep during the banquet in order to fully enjoy it.

Calah wanted Skarla to punish her for being a bad girl, but Skarla didn't have the patience to take care of this blue, tight, sex-addicted woman. So Calah was forced to sleep.

And with everyone asleep, Skarla went to talk to Zenyo, this man who looks like a girl no more than 14 years old, who has small, protruding breasts, truly enviable curves, and very attractive features.

She was receiving looks from many men, and Sasha, while Skarla was putting the others to sleep, ended up receiving privileged information.

Zenyo Gander is a Merchant (Golden Mage). It is a sacrificial school of magic, almost like a Sorcerer, but there is no specific entity that gives it its power. Sasha couldn't explain it, but Skarla managed to understand the basics.

A Golden Mage sacrifices gold, or what can be considered wealth. Through the sacrifice of these goods that disappear due to mysterious forces, you can cast spells or manifest great deeds the more money you use.

Skarla found it interesting, but the focal point around Zenyo is that he is only 145 years old, being the son of Dark Elf nobility, but his mother, who comes from the Gander Family, met with a dwarf on one of her many business trips and ended up copulating.

Apparently this dwarf had some curse; this curse, for some reason, was passed on to Zenyo, who was born some time later. But it was only around the age of 30 to 40 that this fact was discovered. It turns out the curse is Legendary Tier!

The Gander Family tried to get rid of it, but apparently whoever cast the curse, in addition to being close to Demigod Level, most likely around Level 35~40, used some sacrifice and rituals to enhance the curse.

In other words, only a demigod who specializes in undoing curses would be able to break it, or, of course, whoever casts the curse can undo it.

Anyway, Zenyo has the [Femboy Shota Curse] curse. This curse turns the individual's body into something similar to a child, regardless of their age, and at the same time, it will make the individual have even more feminine characteristics.

As a result, Zenyo is cursed to eternally have the body of an effeminate child, even though he is a man. Even his curse forces him to have a small penis. He cannot use potions or elixirs to improve his physical structure or enlarge his penis.

That's why Sasha warned him that Zenyo, who was born with great pride from Dark Elves and Dwarves, which resulted in a very complex and difficult mix to deal with, makes Zenyo very sexist and homophobic.

His machismo is an excessive demonstration of him trying to impose himself, especially against the opposite sex, as he was treated like a woman by everyone his entire life, which naturally gave him a sense of inferiority, but as he was born with a golden spoon in his mouth and with his talent he further developed his wealth, he is very arrogant.

Regarding his homophobia, it has a correlation with his sense of inferiority. As many men tried to sleep with him, even when they knew he was a man, this often encouraged them even more, and not wanting to become a toy, Zenyo ended up taking the plunge and taking risks in search of a cure for his curse.

Today Zenyo is above Level 10. His exact level is not revealed, but he is certainly close to the level of a master.

Upon learning of Zenyo's circumstances, Skarla felt sorry and even identified a little; only in comparison, she is 1,000 times more fortunate.

As for why she identified herself, She was a man in her two past lives, then she was sent to her third life in a body that is a perfect balance between genders but is mostly female, where besides her muscles, the only thing that can be considered male is her penis. huge.

Naturally, it was difficult for Skarla to adapt at first, especially with her relationship with her cousin, which simply emerged. So she was initially placed in a body that she didn't like or identify with.

But now that she has adapted to all of this and no longer cares, she has even learned to feel certain pleasures in places that were not so sensitive in the past.

Of course, Zenyo, in comparison, is much more messed up than she is. She, at least, has characteristics that everyone envies and can intimidate them with her looks. If Zenyo doesn't like something, he will have to act; there's no way he can threaten and drive away anyone who has bad intentions towards him with just looks or words.

...

Zenyo was smiling when Skarla returned, and he made sure to order the best food and drink in the house, preparing an exclusive feast for Skarla. Zenyo smiled gently, being a sweet gentleman, as he provided the best seat for Skarla.

This made Skarla grunt while Sasha and Viper giggled. Skarla, not wanting to be rude, sat down, and Zenyo, who cast light glances at Sasha and Viper, simply sat in his seat, opposite Skarla.

For 3, it couldn't be more obvious what's going on.

"So, Mr. Zenyo, what are you interested in talking about? Surely Sasha told you something to make you interested in my group." - Skarla said calmly.

"You can call me Zenyo; I allow those I'm close to to call me without honorifics. I hope it's okay if I call you Skarla, right?" - Zenyo asked, smiling gently.

"I'm not bothered." - Skarla said, and Zenyo's smile only increased.

"Okay, getting down to business before I get even more lost in your beauty." - Zenyo gave a dry cough, smiling and continuing. - "Sasha told me about her group, and I found their formation quite intriguing, so at first I was skeptical, but I decided to come and observe. Now I am in awe of your group and have a great interest in supporting you financially, as well as wishing to join you and your group in completing this dangerous mission."

"Would you like to join us? Look, I don't see any problems with you, and Sasha has told me about parts of your complications, but I don't have the confidence to keep myself safe; I don't think I have the ability to keep you safe." - Skarla said, trying to be as polite as possible.

It turns out that in her eyes, she can feel Zenyo's energy, and… he is weak! Her physique is not much different from that of an ordinary person, and her energy reserves are also very low for someone above Level 10, likely Belinda of Level 9, who has much more energy than Zenyo.

Hearing Skarla's words, Zenyo didn't lose heart; he was smiling as he said them. - "I understand your concerns, and I feel honored, Skarla, but you have nothing to worry about. I have great confidence in my strength. It may not seem like it, but I am at Level 14 and not far from Level 15. I have enormous amounts of wealth with me to use in combat, and I am confident that to support them, I would be a thousand times more useful than a priest, where unfortunately I cannot heal, but I have many potions and medicines."

"Unfortunately, unlike you, Skarla, or your companions, I was born without physical talents, so in fact, I am very weak, but in compensation, the heavens smiled on me, giving me the stage to shine!" - Zenyo laughed out loud, full of pride, and puffed out his chest.

"I am rich, extremely rich; I am certainly among the 100 richest people on the continent, with my wealth being the envy of even dragons! So by sacrificing the magical knowledge that I could focus on, as I am very intelligent and capable, I focused on wasting my money."

"So, Skarla, don't reject me because of what you see; wait until you see what I'm capable of!" - Zenyo said, smiling and showing his white teeth.

"Zenyo, I'm not underestimating you because of your appearance or your background, but because of what I can see! I was born extremely sensitive to the energies surrounding us, just as I can see the energy and vitality inside people's bodies. Looking at their energy and vitality, it is indeed quite high, but Warriors of Level 6 and above have similar and higher amounts than I can observe. Even your energy reserves are decent; in case you are a warrior, for someone who carries the title of mage, that is quite... mediocre."-Skarla said, not measuring his words.

"Oh, so you have such an interesting talent? I understand why you underestimate me, but don't worry. Even though I have no real strength in physical or magical terms, my strength does not come from those areas but from this."- Zenyo exposed a gold coin, smiling as he played with it.

"I can cause damage equivalent to or even greater than that of Master Swordsmen. I can provide blessings that make priests or bards green with envy. I am rich!" - Zenyo said, laughing, extending his hand, and suddenly a shower of gold occurred, and moments later, Skarla felt a wave of energy hit her, her body being covered by a golden light.

The more gold spilled from Zenyo's hand, the more the golden glow around him intensified and as his veins bulged, a tremendous power coursed throughout his body, a mystical force that came from a place unknown to Skarla.

Zenyo smiling confidently stopped, Skarla clenched her fists and looking at her Status, she discovered that Strength, Dexterity and Constitution received a boost of +3 in their Strength Modifier. In other words, an increase of 1/3 in their physical capabilities.

"How long does this last?" - Skarla asked, narrowing her eyes.

"It depends on how much I want to spend for the effect to continue. My Energy expenditure is practically minimal, I don't even feel it. I just use it to activate my skill and then I just need to pour money… I think I spent 900 Gold Coins to give you these benefits and I can give you even more." - Zenyo said, smiling confidently.

"Besides, what else would there be?" - Skarla asked curiously.

"I can't say, we're not mates yet, but I assure you this is just the tip of the iceberg." - Zenyo laughed confidently and played with a gold coin.

"I understand that you exceeded my expectations, showing that I cannot entirely trust what I see, I thank you for the lesson." -Skarla said, not knowing that his words only served to inflate Zenyo's ego even more.

"Good thing you learned something; it's always good to learn." - Zenyo said laughing.

"I admit that you can be useful to us, but how can we be useful to you? In addition to supporting you to have a stable environment to earn EXP, how will we benefit you with money? I doubt you are interested in the position of nobility in the Empire; just as you said you spent 900 gold coins to activate your skill now, what kind of benefit are you seeking?"

Zenyo smiled, then said. - "Influence! I have wealth as well as a lot of power in the Dark Elf Kingdom, and even though I am a cursed half-breed, even the Queen has to be respectful to me. But I have reached a certain barrier. I continually make money, but I want more, and to do that, I need to expand the influence of the Gander Group."

"The Duchy of Veremor is an important point, because if in the coming decades or centuries they gain access to the Krugar Mountains, so that we can have easy access by land to the Northern Lands, it will be a crucial commercial point for the future. The merchant group, whoever has the greatest influence if this ever happens, could certainly boost its benefits enormously."

"For a human like you, thinking about profits that may only come 100 or 200 years from now seems foolish, but I come from an elf lineage and have a long life expectancy, so I can have these dreams and ambitions." - Zenyo's eyes shone with intensity.

Skarla scratched her chin thoughtfully, thinking that the Krugar Mountains actually have a lot of value. If a nation were to emerge within them, they would have a natural barrier. The biggest concern would be the easy access of the people of the north to the mountains, but if they managed to build walls and outposts, preventing their advance would not be a problem.

Not to mention the various resources and dangerous areas, where, from what I heard, apparently there are dungeons. If the Duchy of Veremor manages to get its hands on the Krugar Mountains, it is obvious that its power will be boosted.

"Now I understand why there are so many merchants and nobles interested in this battle; they want to settle in this region, put down roots, and hope to devour as much profit as possible." - Skarla's eyes shone.

"In addition to being beautiful and strong, she is also so smart…" - Zenyo smiled with his elbows touching the table and his fists clenched together under his chin, looking with a certain passion at Skarla.

Skarla rolled her eyes, drinking her beer to hide it. - "Okay… Viper, did you know if Bianca tried to get in touch?" - Skarla asked suddenly.

"Bianca? Oh! Yes, she tried on the second day of the banquet, but when she couldn't find you, she gave up, and I haven't seen her since." - Viper said thoughtfully.

Zenyo looked curious, and Skarla said. - "Bianca is an acquaintance; she is the daughter of the owner of [Chama de Ouro]."

"Ah, this tiny group? Don't waste your time; sooner or later, everyone will kill themselves, idealistic idiots." - Zenyo laughed mockingly.

"The Paravanato Family is full of fools. I personally educated the first leader of the group; he was my assistant when I started, then he left me to create his own business, which was successful, but the idiot made so many children, and his inheritance was divided into so many parties, with such greedy children and later equally greedy grandchildren. It is a matter of time before the [Golden Flame] fragments even further; they are just waiting for the death of the current leader, where the chances of him being assassinated are high."

"That's the problem with having a lot of money, being an idiot with a lot of children and on top of that recognizing those many children. There are literally more than 30 people in the current succession, needless to say the war that will occur when the leader dies or is assassinated."

Zenyo snorted in disdain. This was a point that Skarla actually analyzed, but she didn't know much about the details of the Paravanato family; it seems that it is even worse than she imagined.

"A shame; Bianca Paravanato is really very talented; at least that's what the rumors say." - Viper said, sighing.

"I met Bianca before, and I know that she is better than the rumors say, but in the end, she has a big target on her back, because we can say that she is a nail that sticks out, and there are a lot of people holding hammers nearby." - Sasha said it lightly.

"It seems like you have some relationship with Bianca." - Zenyo said, narrowing his eyes.

"She was one of the few to approach me correctly; we had some complications, but I don't dislike her; she is interesting and intelligent, but listening to what she said now, I realize that she is close to a ticking time bomb. I have no interest in being around when it explodes."

"A wise decision. I believe that since you are no longer thinking about them, you will accept my proposal?" - Zenyo's eyes sparkled in anticipation.

"You are strong and rich, you seem to be very capable and your goals are obvious, the burden on me and my group is not great, we just need to succeed, which I guarantee!" - Skarla smiled confidently, then extended her hand. - "So mate Zenyo, I hope you can watch my back."

Zenyo happily held out his hand. His hand was big, strong, and a little calloused, but to him it was so warm and soft. Skarla's smile looked so beautiful.

Skarla frowned slightly at the fact that Zenyo didn't let go of her hand for a while, but soon he came to his senses and let go. Viper on the side laughed lightly, loving seeing Skarla in obvious discomfort.

'Does he know?' - Sasha asked; she doesn't remember telling Skarla about this point. Zenyo is known for hating men, and futanari, or Skarla, falls into the second type.

…

The conversation continued for a while, with Skarla starting to ask questions about how a Golden Mage's magic works. Being quite complex, Skarla understood that she needed to study more magical theory, as she unfortunately didn't understand half of what Zenyo said.

Zenyo knew that Skarla was interested in learning magic, even if not to use it, but to know how to retaliate against it. - "If you are interested, I can teach you the basics. I assure you that I am a great teacher." - Her confident smile graced her lips.

"Thank you, but I still have a lot of books to read, and I don't believe we will have time for that, not to mention that tomorrow I have to meet the duchess to ask some questions she owes me." - Said Skarla.

Hearing this, Zenyo's eyes lit up. - "Can you meet the duchess so easily?"

"I have a special contract; as we are very close, of course, I have limits, but she welcomes me into her home without any problems." - Skarla said, smiling, and Viper next to her bit her lip and pinched her.

"So, how about helping me interact more amicably with the Duchess? Naturally, I will be compensating her greatly for this, and I promise that I will not dishonor her name." - Zenyo said it seriously.

"…ok, I don't see any problems." - Skarla said and Zenyo was happy.

—————————

PART 3 – Pietra Veremor!

—————————

Pietra learned that Skarla was finally spotted, and at the same time, her mother left to finish the banquet. It is obvious what she was doing during the time she was missing.

Knowing this infuriated and disgusted Pietra, she then wanted to approach Skarla and wait. Hours passed, and she finally knew where she was, heading there with some trusted guards.

But as she was approaching, a hooded figure appeared. - "Alpha!" - Pietra growled when he saw her.

"Young Miss, I beg your pardon for my rudeness, but could you please go back and forget what happened?" - Alpha said calmly with a sharp look.

"No! This barbarian has a lot to explain to me!" - Pietra growled.

"That's an order from your mother, the duchess; don't cause trouble for Skarla." - Alpha said.

"I didn't hear that from her, so leave!" - Pietra shouted, drawing a sword, but when she was in the middle of drawing, figures appeared and a delicate hand landed on her wrist, preventing her from doing so.

Everyone who followed her was approached, daggers at their throats. Pietra was shocked.

"I beg your pardon for being rude, but Skarla is a very valuable article for the Duchy and could represent great prosperity for us. In case you anger her and make Skarla's relationship with the Duchy irreversible, the chances of you being disinherited by your mother are high." - Alpha said this to Pietra's shock.

"WHAT ABSURD ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!" - Pietra shouted shrilly, casting a deadly glare at Alpha.

"This filthy monkey is fucking my mother, and you want me to be quiet?!" - Pietra growled.

"Watch how you talk; don't dishonor your mother any more!" - Alpha said coldly, appearing in front of Pietra and then slapping her face, much to her shock.

"Do not get involved with Skarla; she is not someone of her level, and do not cause problems, because if she gets out of control, neither her mother nor all the shadows will be able to stop her. Know that Skarla is almost legendary!"- Alpha said coldly to Pietra's shock.

Pietra almost stuttered, growling and looking at the bar beyond, clenching her fists. - "Okay, let's go!"

The shadows retreated, and before leaving, Pietra looked at Alpha and said. - "It won't end here; I will remember!"

Alpha didn't respond, and only when they walked away did she sigh.
