The barely one week left of my stay in Sklavryet went by really quickly. I had one final eting with Noir last weekend and the topics included how we will communicate moving forward and other instructions I have in the duration that I will be away.
I left them a small orb that is ant for exchanging correspondences and resources stealthily to ensure it won't be intercepted by anyone and also to keep it undetectable to other factions. They insisted in sending at least one personal shadow aide for my safety which I agreed to after a lot of convincing and back and forth from the elders. I eventually agreed since it will be useful for one way or another especially for the next step of my plans.
I discussed with them that I plan to build a similar business with what I have back in Hoffen here. I thought they will atleast ask a few questions before agreeing but they all just looked too energetic and excited to start it. I told them that having a shadow aide would be useful in taking down notes about how the business is run so they better send soone useful and smart. They all nodded in agreent.
At the end of all the eting topics, it has been finalized that I will be accompanied by two aides. One of them has knowledgeable in handling business deals and all types of paperwork. The other one has vast knowledge in architecture so that they could copy how the infrastructure and how the set up of the place was built. We will make it appear that the soon-to-rise business area will be a collaboration between Noir and Halcyon.
The elders also gave quite a huge expanse of land quite easily and I did not have to pay anything since they have to atleast look the part of being a business partner! They are really going all out to support and protect this future business. Who would ss with a money-making venture of a known assassination organization, right?
I also did quick visits to Marahuyo everyday for any remaining requests and needs they may have since I won't be able to visit them as much as I wanted to. Even with teleportation, Sklavryet is more than a day away from Hoffen and I will be an acade student again so I have so many thigs to do. I also made sure to make final adjustnts to the barrier and ensure that everybody has built their own hos.
For sharing of resources, I made sure to leave so shared storage earrings to a few trustworthy people to keep the exchanges quick and smooth. I will be sending them provisions and there will be exchanges of resources. The arrangent will be, they'll send products which I will be selling on their behalf and then I will send them proceeds of the sale either via money or in kind. I can also send them special raw materials that they can work with.
All in all, I can say that my last week in Sklavryet was a whole lot of busy with bits of drama here and there especially from Marahuyo, Noir HQ and in Kama. In Marahuyo, it was from the pregnant guys who were full of drama.
Yes, you read that right, GUYS. I have been quite busy in the bedroom since I ca back from Freyheimr. To be fair, besides Makisig who is the representative of the giants, I also sired a child with Vaelion as the representative of the elves and Reiss as the representative of the heralds.
They were chosen simply because they were the first of their kind that I t. It was like taking in consideration that they have the most tenured in terms of service with . They were also the ones who were given the right to receive the shared storage earrings for future resource exchanges.
In Noir HQ, it was the elders who were dramatic. Most of the drama ca from the fact that they were unsuccessful in making choose a husband from the list of unmarried n they were constantly sending to in the guise of a report.
They have sent five of those reports with a total of 20 n each ti at the end of each eting. This list might sound few but you have to know that it does not include people they rember in passing that they ntion and describe to as if they are selling items as well as those that they introduce to out of the blue when walking around the HQ.
As their final attempt to create a permanent connection between and Noir by blood, they even offered the current leader, Little Prince as well as Richard and his older brother, Chandler since they were technically mbers of the organization now.
Those two brothers technically work directly under . They were just training under Noir for physical combat and weapon use so I found this offer really weird. I did ask Noir to take them in so I guess that makes them eligible to be added to the list of "potential husbands" and they were added on the last minute just when I was about to leave.
I was still firm with my decision to not pick anyone till the end. It was surprising though that the brothers seed to not mind if I chose any of them or even both as Chandler outrightly said. I don't know how royal families work but was it really part of their marriage culture for brothers to share a wife? Are they going to make accept the third brother once he's found?
In Kama, all the guys were looking all gloomy and sulky since I won't be cooking for them anymore. It may be a shallow reason if others were listening in but I understand how much their health and food quality have improved since I started managing the kitchen and preparing their als.
For normal people who did not take cooking classes, the taste was of course the first thing that they praised since it was the most noticeable. I try to balance the taste and the health benefits though as part of my practice to be a physician.
To calm down the whining guys, I left shared storage earrings to Galen for the regular food provisions which made everyone look visibly relieved and happy. They promised to send cooking ingredients and still pay a salary which made laugh but nonetheless, I still accepted it since it's their pride to not take things from others for free.
I also left an earring with the owner of the place just in case there are certain transactions that we need to do discreetly. I also plan to support the business indefinitely just because I have the resources to.
The owner of the place a.k.a. "Father" to all those working in Kama but for it was just "Kyros" as per his request, has beco soone I found to be reliable and useful. He was a smart and an easygoing guy in his early 30s but knowing how guys in this world look way younger than their age, he does not look anywhere past 25.
We have beco the best of friends through the stories we share of our adventures and travels. I admire his bravery and the things that he does to support his adopted kids. It is funny how he calls them kids when they were just a few years younger than him. The relationship sohow ended up with him offering himself as a willing vessel as well.
I did a bit of a background check about Kyros through Noir. Based on the information I got, I found out that the owner does charity by taking in abused n and saving those who were already traumatized from being further tarnished, or going crazy or suicidal. He seems to be a noble from sowhere that escaped his mundane life and just focused on his cause. The activities he does for his noble cause require constant funding that I am totally willing to provide.
Our relationship was complicated and I myself do not understand how we end up in this arrangent. He doesn't seem to mind that I am Galen's sponsor as well. As for being a willing vessel, the thod he chose would be via the Einean way of pregnancy since it would cause a scandal if he ends up suddenly pregnant without a wife or a lover by his side.
He voluntarily gave his seed but he asked a favor to delay it until he was ready to be a father due to personal reasons. He then teased that he is willing to go through the normal way if I am up for it. I smiled at him and responded, "Any ti." which made the guy blush and look away.
My last few days in Sklavryet was also filled with farewells to my co-workers, bosses, neighbors and new found friends that I t during my fun but brief stay here as a contractual worker. I also did a last foraging sweep through the three nearby forests for alchemy materials since, well, since money is money.
I had my last shopping spree for souvenirs, clothes, cooking ingredients and so unique items that I could sell back at a higher price in Hoffen. I also had to find and hire a new carriage to send us to the southern border where the Vacarro estate was in. It was just like how I left the Athanoviya empire a few months back.
I plan to hire another carriage from there to Hoffen as a cover while teleporting straight to Moonlight Inn together with Lark. There's bound to be drama again once I et the other guys for sure.
