Hazel

"Now?"

Aedria coughs, "Mm No not now, unfortunately my schedule is packed and I believe you are about to leave am I right?"

"Indeed after my business is concluded I'll come visit you, in the meantime break off the engagement, or else I will not follow through." With that I start to leave not saying anything else.

Making my way through the palace eventually after snooping a bit I find a guard to escort me to the Teleportation array.

Arriving I notice Kasarian and Hestia standing next to an Arcane sigil imprinted into the ground, after the guard was sent away Hestia fell into my arms as if she had been without my touch for years even if it's only been a few days.

"Mistress.." she mumbles as she nestled her head into my chest.

"Mistress please be safe..." her voice muffled through my dress, but with my enhanced hearing I could hear her perfectly fine.

Hestia continued, "I want to come with you Mistress... but sadly I have my own business to take care of..."

"Its okay Hestia I'll be safe, you, Ophelia, and Zara will always know I'm safe since we are connected by my blood, the Emperor didn't give me a timeline so I'm going to enjoy this as a vacation. When I come back I'll make my move, I do have a request." I said rubbing her back

"Anything Mistress." Hestia's eyes lit up.

"Find the the Etiquette professor Archibald Pyra and have Zara take in his family, he lost a bet. Another request, find Elsi, Ryoko and Nephele inside the academy and train them I believe they will be worthwhile allies in the future."

Hestia nods, "This is easy worry not Mistress I will take care of this."

I give Hestia a passionate kiss then step into the teleportation array. "Kas send me to a town a bit away from Eldoria." As I flip up a cloak.

"Very well Lady Lithia I will send you to Llyne a mostest town within the borders of the Eldorian territory." As Kas reconfigures some Arcane sigil within the Array.

"Whenever you are ready Lady Lithia infuse the circle with your mana, it should still work regardless of the suppression bracelet." Kas continued.

The next moment after nodding to both Kas and blowing a kiss to Hestia I infused my mana into the runes and sigils imprinted below me as the teleportation array lit up transporting me to a new destination.

I felt weightlessness and my sight was blinded by a flash, after the flash subsided and my feet regained purchase beneath me I was greeted by a rather stunned beautiful middle aged woman, "Oh.. hello uh I wasn't aware we were receiving any guests today."

"Ah.. my apologies it was a last minute choice on my part." I took the woman's hand and activated a small sliver of my aura of lust, the woman grew flush and stuttered as I continued, "I'm sure this isn't a problem right?"

"A..h.. no.. no need to worry about it.." The woman taken my aura stuttered and fidgeted slightly.

Slightly caressing her face, "You wouldn't happen to be able to show me to an inn.. I'm new to this town and have no clue where to go.."

Bright red the woman couldn't make complete eye contact with me, "I.. if you.. w..want you can.. stay in my home.. for a few days.. my husband is away so.. I have enough space.. for a few days.."

'Damn I'm glad my aura is strong.' I thought to myself.

"That sounds lovely can you take me now?" As I move the hair from her face my fingers caressing her cheek.

The woman nodded, "W..wait here one second." As the woman ran off I could hear her shouting at a younger male when she came back, "My son.. will take over my shift I can lead you now... m..may I know your name?"

I silently contemplated for a moment before replying, "My name Hazel whats yours?" As I decided on a name from my past.. distant past...

"What a lovely name.. my name is Rosemary but you can call me Rose." As she brings my arm into her bosom.

As Rose leads me out of the domed teleportation array building I could help but watch an old memory from a time before this life..

I recall a woman my best friend growing up her name was Hazel she was beautiful with long brown hair and green eyes she had my back no matter what, one day I had learned that she had taken her own life.. she left behind no note just her broken soulless body.. I only learned years later her father was molesting her.. I just hope she was able to reincarnate like me..or that she is resting peacefully..

My memory was interrupted by Rose as she spoke, "Here we are, feel free to make yourself at home.."

Stepping in to the house with Rose, "I will do just that.." my hand groping her thick milf ass.

A soft moan escaped her lips, "mmhm hazel... I'm a married woman..." as she blushed and showed no signs of resistance.

I release my grasp running my hands down her waist increasing my aura of lust output slightly, "Show me your room.. I'm looking forward to sleeping next to you tonight Rose."

Breathlessly Rose nodded walking past me led me up a set of stairs to the second floor, walking past a few closed doors we arrive at the end of the hall, "This is the room I share with my husband... but you can stay in here with me for a few days.. he shouldn't be home until after the tournament is over.." she said as she backed up against me.

Smiling I lift her up in my arms princess carry with no issue as if she weighed as light as a feather, she blushed as I walked over to the bed laying her down on some blankets.

"Ooh a tournament huh? Well I might stay longer than expected in that case if you don't mine?" As I leaned down and kissed her neck.

"I.. I don't mind Hazel.. Ah~" Rose moaned.

However I back up as Rose looks at me confused, "Although I can't wait to feel you.. I was reminded of an old friend who I lost decades ago."

Slightly dejected and with a hint of disappointment Rose turned her head to the side, "Decades? You don't look older than my son.. he's 20 years old."

"Mhm I'm younger than him yet because of reasons my mind is older by a bit.."

"Does that have to do with your species?" She asked.

"Perhaps.. I think I might get some fresh air.. I'll be back later." I started to leave her room as I did Rose spoke up, "I'll have dinner ready in a few hours.. I look forward to your embrace.. I'm always lonely when Jack is not home..."

"I'll be okay, see you tonight Rose." As I leave the house into the back yard taking a seat and entering meditation.

Closing my eyes I try to sense the essence of the heavens and the earth.. however I see Hazel's face smiling back at me completely distracting me from meditation..

In all honesty Rose's features reminded me of Hazel.. even though Rose is about 20 years older than when I had last seen Hazel I still couldn't help but want to be near her.
