"Darling! Co here, look at this,"
Hannah strolled through the bustling food festival before the tournant started, her arm linked with that of the noble she had seduced. She could feel his eyes on her, his adoration and desire palpable.
She easily noticed how entranced this noble was with her and for her, it was the most advantageous situation.
"So, tell more about our king," Hannah said, her voice low and sultry.
The noble cleared his throat, his cheeks flushing.
"Well, he's a powerful man, well-respected in the city. He has his fingers in many pies, so to speak and he was kind of enough to let a man like keep my position even after the governnt changed,"
"I really don't know how, but I feel a little powerful after his ceremony, it's almost like he's blessing all the ti, right now I'm really happy to serve him,"
Hannah nodded, her mind working quickly. She knew that getting close to Velian was the key to her revenge, and this noble was just the tool she needed.
"And how did you manage to get out of that dreadful house? That old last was so harsh, she even tried to whip ," Hannah asked, flashing the noble a dazzling smile and showing her pain at the sa ti, but it was all fake, it was all just acting to win this man in front of her.
He grinned back at her, clearly pleased with himself.
"Oh, it was nothing. I just pulled a few strings and called in a few favours. Anything for my love, besides I like you."
Hannah resisted the urge to roll her eyes. n were so easily manipulated, especially when their lust and love were involved.
She just had to show a little affection and this noble started making family plans with her. She was surprised by how much this man loved her, but she didn't have ti to feel guilty.
"I owe you a debt of gratitude, doing all this for a lowly woman like ," she said, leaning in closer to the noble.
"Perhaps I can repay you in so way?"
The noble's eyes widened, and Hannah could practically hear the gears turning in his head.
"Well," he said slowly.
"There is one thing you could do for ."
Hannah raised an eyebrow, feigning interest.
"And what's that?"
The noble leaned in even closer, his lips almost brushing against her ear.
"Spend your life with and support as my wife, that's all,"
Hannah suppressed a sigh. She felt her demon heart going uneasy, but she quickly cald down.
"I thought you will ask to offer my body?" Hannah questioned since she genuinely thought, he would ask sothing like that.
"Well, I really want that, but I can suppress those urges, besides when you're my wife we can do it anyti, no need to force things, first we should build our trust," He answered making Hannah go silent.
"I'll think about it," And after a few minutes, she said with a shrug.
"But for now, let's enjoy the festival, shall we?"
They wandered through the crowds, the noble buying her food and drinks at every turn. Hannah feigned enjoynt, laughing at his jokes and flirting shalessly. But all the while, her mind was elsewhere. She needed to get close to Velian, and this noble was just a ans to an end.
As they reached the end of the festival, the noble turned to her, a hopeful expression on his face.
"Do you want to live with ? I don't know why you're refusing even after I took you out of that house," he began.
But Hannah cut him off with a gentle kiss on the cheek. "I'll think about it, but for now I want to live alone because I want to be a proper woman for you," she repeated, before slipping away into the night to search her for her food leaving the foolish lovestruck noble alone to imagine a fake scenario inside his mind.
anwhile, near the registration desk, there were a lot of adventurers and warriors gathered after hearing the news of a tournant and the young genius king personally gifting the winner of the tournant.
"Idiot! There's no way, he would appoint a stranger as one of the most influential figures of this kingdom, I think he's up to sothing," Ellen said to her brother, who was looking at the gifts that are promised by the organizers of the tournant.
Number one prize: Commander of the new military departnt directly under King Velian or 10000 Gold coins
Number two prize: A mythical sword and 5000 gold coins
Number three prize: 5000 gold coins
"Hmm~ this is suspicious, how did a newly appointed king have this much wealth?" Ellen asked their leader, who is standing behind her with a thoughtful look.
"Whatever! We are here as competitors, as long as we get our gifts, isn't that enough?" Elliah refuted her elder sister causing his head to get another good punch from her.
"Shut up! You are still a baby, you don't know anything about these things,"
"Ellen! Don't act like a child, he's right, as long as we get our gifts it's not our problem, we shouldn't put our hands in what's not necessary, don't forget you have to go back to your houses,"
"Yes, leader,"
"Hah? Why would you listen to him and not ?" Elliah asked displeased by her attitude.
"Of course, it's because our leader is handso and not an idiot like you," Ellen answered her with a smug look, but then she noticed sothing strange.
Their other teammate, their main warrior was missing from the team.
"Hmm? Where did she go? Ellen, did you see her?" Amos, the leader of the group questioned without having any idea where she sneaked into.
"Look! She's fighting again," Suddenly Ellen pointed at a group of adventurers, in front of them was a muscular woman.
"Hah~ why would she say you touched her butt, if you didn't? Are you saying she's lying?"
"I-I an it was just a playful touch, I didn't an any harm," he stamred seeing the woman's nerves bulging out of her head.
"Touching a woman without her consent is never 'just playful', Idiot,"
Her fist slowly touched the face of the adventurer leaving a broke nose bone.
"Consider this a warning! If I see you trying sothing like this again, next ti it won't be just your nose,"
