Chapter 414: Relaxing time after a tense day.
After all of them entered the house, Tatyana tapped the ground twice with her feet, and the formations activated, isolating the house from outside view.
However, unlike when the formations were in their active defensive mode, they blocked all the aura from the inside.
This was blocking vision as no items could look from afar. A faint kind of blurriness would impair even enhanced vision.
It wasn't as inconspicuous as the giant dome filled with complex runes and was adequate to maintain 24/7.
Once inside, Yasenia felt all her muscles relax and sighed comfortably. She always had to maintain her guard when walking outside, so she could only relax here, surrounded by formations.
The others also relaxed, and their postures instantly changed. They went from elegant and ethereal walking to a casual and more comfortable one.
Ghana blinked and saw all of them relax and transform into those she once saw. 'Hmm? Are they partially acting outside?'
Seeing them removing their veils and their white and formal robes changing into more comfortable ones, the Harpy smirked and thought. 'Well, I prefer them this way. I was actually a bit nervous before.'
Yasenia also dematerialized her [Empyrean Cosmos Dress] and boots, summoning a casual black lace dress around her body. The semi-transparent cloth did little to hide her assets.
Moreover, this see-through cloth that barely stopped the eyes from seeing the most important parts was too tempting with the dragoness's jiggling curves.
Their eyes gravitated toward her as Yasenia walked with a straight back and sashaying steps, highlighting her assets even more.
They couldn't help but feel hot all over their body and licked their dry lips.
The seductive dragoness passed her hands over her hair and sighed. The sigh was like a feather caressing their hearts, making their body feel itchy. "Finally, at home. Dealing with those people was exhausting."
Angel, wearing a soft and comfy white dress, appeared before her with a blushing face. Yasenia didn't even stop walking as she leaned forward and picked her up between her arms.
Angel smiled and buried her face in Yasenia's neck, sniffing her fragrance greedily.
Tatyana was also wearing a black dress similar to Yasenia's. When she changed, the eyes of the girls also couldn't help but make a few spins. 'This mother and daughter are too sinful!'
Ghana was a race with natural high lust. Thankfully, the person herself was very controlled. However, even then, she used her wings to cover her slowly heating body and moistening thighs.
Although her face remained unchanged, she cursed and thanked one thousand Gods in her head. 'How can there be such an attractive creature!? Lady Yasenia is too tempting!'
Tatyana grabbed Yasenia's right arm and commented after a slight chuckle. "Well, you met all your objectives for a relatively low price. We'll only need two or three weeks of work to replenish everything we've traded with these powers."
Andrea was wearing a blue t-shirt and comfortable jeans. Thankfully, her underwear had good quality and could contain the semi-hardened member.
She stretched her body and moved her sight elsewhere to calm herself. "They were quite hard to chew. Thankfully, the Matriarch helped us~."
The teasing tone within the word Matriarch made Yasenia give her a side-eye with a smirk.
Andrea, who looked over momentarily, gulped. 'She is seducing me!'
Yasenia saw Andrea's flustered eyes and laughed softly, approaching and using her arm to hold Andrea's waist.
When Yasenia did so, Kaleina slithered out of her cleavage and rubbed her little face with Yasenia's.
Naturally, Yasenia turned a bit to kiss her little dear.
With her right arm holding Angel from below, Tatyana latching on to it, her left arm hugging Andrea's waist, and Kaleina acting cute with her, Yasenia felt satisfied. 'Sigh~, life is good.'
Yasenia smiled and commented. "Here you are. Much sooner than expected."
Ghana didn't flinch, and she commented. "Miss Matriarch, I just want to work for you after you showed your wit in the City Lord room."
Yasenia turned her head lazily, feeling Cecile's fingers pressing on her scalp and the scaly body of her little daughter on her fingers.
Tatyana was on her other side, just leaning on her.
Then, her tail was being massaged by Evelyn and Andrea, both of them meticulously relaxing the stiff and strong muscles there.
Kali naturally massaged the sensitive tail tip, expertly calming Yasenia without giving sexual stimulation. Finally, Angel gave her soft kisses on her neck as she leaned between her arms.
Everything combined was enough to reduce the mental capabilities of the Dragoness by half.
However, Ghana's answer made her dissatisfied.
"Work for me because you admire me? Just that?"
Ghana blinked and tilted her head. Yasenia sighed. "Tell me the whole truth, Ghana."
Ghana stayed silent for a moment.
Yasenia looked at Ghana for a long time and spoke. "I won't blame you this time because you are still unfamiliar with me. However, You must know one thing very clearly, Ghana."
Ghana saw Yasenia's penetrating gaze and frowned. Then, she commented. "Are you unsatisfied that I didn't give you the complete answer?"
Yasenia shook her head. "No. I hate lies. And if you tell half-truths intending to deceive me is even worse. I rather you tell me directly that there are special conditions you can't tell me yet than butter up to me with fake and bland words that have no meaning."
Ghana was startled, but she swallowed when she looked at those golden slit eyes. Then, she nodded seriously. "I understand, Matriarch."
Yasenia squinted and nodded. "Good. So, I'll ask again. Why do you want to work for me?"
Tatyana searched her chin softly and kissed her cheek. "Relax your expression, little treasure. You'll not rest for a lifetime if you react like that whenever an ally lies to you."
Yasenia rolled her eyes. "Do you think I don't know that? I wanted to make it clear to the new person. A bit of intimidation goes a long way."
Ghana hearing their conversation: "..."
Yasenia chuckled and looked at Ghana. "Although what Tatyana said is true, what I said also holds. I hate liars. Therefore, if you want to be someone I will trust in the future with more than everyday work, you better not let me catch you lying to me. I don't care if you have good or bad intentions. Now, please answer my question honestly, or tell me the reason you can't answer me honestly. Either way is good."
Ghana took a deep breath and thought deeply for a moment. 'Lady Yasenia hates liars. I thought of slowly making my way up with my skill set instead of my outside work conditions. I want her to evaluate my work as objectively as possible. That's why I lied to her and held back from explaining the situation about the City Lord. However, Lady Yasenia probably doesn't wish to know the excuse.'
Ghana didn't answer immediately, and Yasenia didn't urge her. She liked that Ghana thought things thoroughly. She also understood that the reason for lying was not malicious in any way, so Yasenia wasn't too angry.
However, she had an innate dislike for lies, so each time she felt someone telling her half-truths, she didn't like it.
Even good-intentioned lies can lead to misunderstandings and troubles. Therefore, Yasenia rather listened to the person telling her they couldn't tell her something than a so-called "White Lie."
Naturally, she wasn't unreasonable now, unlike before her twenty-year trial when she had an irrational hate for lies.
After a while, Ghana decided and looked back at the dragoness.
Yasenia also looked and smiled encouragingly. "No matter what you choose, I won't blame you, Ghana."
