I knew perfectly well that she didn't need my help; she could have easily landed with the grace that befitted her. However, her intent was obvious and it was not to land as effectively as she could. I smiled amusedly at her adorable antics while pushing both of my arms outward and turning my palms toward the sky. She landed into them smoothly with a soft thud sound acpanying her arrival. Her weight had barely registered in my brain as I caught her in a bridal carry.
Her beautiful eyes gleamed up at me with a playful glint shining through. She suddenly brought her face close to my head and kissed me. She announced with a fond tone right into my mind.
Though we both wore masks, thus her kiss was only two masks hitting each other in reality, it was still an incredibly sweet act on her part.
I raised a questioning eyebrow at her, but she merely giggled with her tail wagging against my body repeatedly. Even in the middle of enemy territory, surrounded by danger, Blossom's needy antics shone through. Although I could be mistaken, I would be willing to bet that she not only did this because it simply felt right in her mind but also to ascertain the fact in my brain that she was my first woman and that she was not to be forgotten or put into the background no matter how large my harem may end up being in the future.
Naturally, that would never happen. Explore more at empire
I set her down gently before slapping her inviting behind in a chiding manner. We were deep in hostile territory, though I didn't have it in me to lecture her properly for I loved her actions too much. Blossom yelped cutely for a moment before she was back to scanning the area with a sharp focus.
It quickly became evident that the outside layer that was only guarded by the wooden wall was for the 'unwanted', the lower caste of this settlement. Like my five low-level guards who were guarding the labor slaves, their purpose was to be as cheap as possible and if an enemy were to attack, they would be the first casualties instead of the more important members, namely the strong in the case of this place.
Sadly for them, we had no plans to invade in a conventional manner, so such precautions didn't amount to much. Well, if they were petent then it could notify them of the presence of a malevolent force, but it would be all too late unless they'd already noticed us five minutes ago.
The guards we encountered inside the much better built wall's embrace were at least a tier above the previous ones if not more, so much so that I no longer felt that repeating my earlier kidnapping play would be a smart decision. It's not that they were so strong that I would struggle to take them, but that I would surely be found out much quicker.
From atop the wall, I could see numerous buildings flanking the biggest one in the plete center. It was like everything revolved around that one building. Not only was it in the center but was a luxurious mansion that contrasted greatly against the other, uglier buildings.
