"Hello Darling, are you enjoying your time with a pretty boy in a faraway land?"
"Hello Vespara, umm... Yes, but right now he has gone somewhere alone," Daisy replied.
"Gone? Then where are you?"
In a calm tone, Daisy unraveled the events of the past few days for Vespara, recounting each detail.
She didn't hold back as she detailed their difficulties since setting out on their trek.
"Hmm, so pretty boy has gone alone, and you all are here to catch someone else..hmm..
"Okay don't worry; the pretty boy can take care of himself, while Soren will protect you from every danger.
"If he has once said that he will take care of you, then he will even go against the princess, so don't worry about it."
"Yes, but what about Seraphine? Why is she taking my side every now and then?" Daisy asked.
"Well, I have a pretty good understanding of it too. Just don't stress too much and enjoy.
"Make sure to spend some more lovely time with the pretty boy, okay?"
"Sure, I will; goodbye then Vespara."
"huh..oh okay bye."
This is the first time she has acted like this. Did something happen between them already?" Vespara thought.
A guard in a light-yellow robe attracted Vespara's attention as the shop gate slid open with a squeak.
He walked slowly up to Vespara, his intent clear. He bowed to her as he placed a sealed letter in front of her and then quietly left the shop.
"Hmm, a letter from the Eudora family,"
Vespara opened the letter carefully, her eyes taking in every word as she unfolded the parchment and broke the seal. As the letter's story unfolded in front of her, her eyes darted quickly from line to line, absorbing its essential meaning.
Vespara savored every word of the letter and then slowly put it down, its significance still weighing on her mind.
"So does this guy think I don't know his intentions?
"Well, if he really wants to invite us, then I should pay a visit. Maybe I can find a good reason to make another noble family disappear from this kingdom." A sly smile appeared on her face.
"Shelly... come quickly. We have somewhere to go."
*****
Daisy let out a soft sigh as she made her way back to her room, where she hoped to find peace and quiet after the day's events.
The room enveloped her like a warm blanket, its tranquil atmosphere providing a little relief from the world. Her body ached from exhaustion, and she wanted nothing more than to curl up in bed and sleep.
As twilight painted the sky with hues of orange and purple, the group prepared themselves for an evening of exploration in the bustling town.
Emerging from the confines of the inn, the group embarked on their journey through the lively streets of Lucednia.
The atmosphere changed as they progressed, becoming filled with lively energy. The once tranquil recreation area buzzed with activity as its true potential was seen.
Daisy's senses were captivated by an array of peculiar lights, casting an otherworldly glow upon the bustling thoroughfare.
Multicolored orbs danced and flickered, illuminating the night with their enchanting hues. They painted the surroundings with a whimsical ambiance, drawing the attention of curious onlookers.
The streets were bustling with people of all colors and races, a reflection of the multiethnic and multicultural nature of Lucednia's population.
They entered a vibrant, diverse restaurant that people from various backgrounds frequented, following the princess's lead.
Once inside, they witnessed a fascinating scene. A diverse group of servers, their bodies covered in elaborate tattoos and other forms of body art, expertly navigated the dining room.
However, what caught their attention was the unique presentation—the servers, both confident and unreserved, embraced their nudity as they catered to the guests.
Seating themselves at a table, the group found solace in their chosen spot.
"What would you like to have, our esteemed guest?" one of the waitresses asked.
"Bring some of your best quality liquors for us," Zareena replied.
"Sure, right away." The waitress turned around and left; on her way, her ass jiggled while walking, which caught the gaze of Edumont.
"Do you like it?" Princess asked with a smirk.
"Y..No princess, I was just looking around the atmosphere," Edumont replied.
"You know you can have some fun tonight; it's not like anyone would mind," Raven said.
"Are you sure about that?" He asked as he glanced towards Raven.
"Of course, I mean, I am going to have some fun." She said with an excited face.
For an instant, Edumont's eyes met hers, allowing him to catch a glimpse of her face. Nonetheless, as quickly as he had made eye contact, he broke it, diverting his eyes to hide the turmoil of feelings he felt inside.
"Excuse me, I want to go somewhere else," he said.
He quickly stood up and left the restaurant.
Meanwhile, Soren simply shook his head.
"What? Did I say something wrong?" Raven asked.
"Of course. You didn't even ask him whether he would like to join. Now he must be thinking no one invites him to get along," Soren replied.
Everyone stared at Soren with dumb expressions.
"Way dumb,"
"Too dumb,"
"Dense,"
"What an idiot!"
The waitress strolled over to their table with a tray full of their drinks, swaying her hips gently as she did so.
As she placed each glass, she smiled warmly, making sure they were all in the appropriate spots. Leaving behind a momentary sense of her good manner, she quickly and gracefully left to attend to the needs of other customers.
"I guess I can take the extra glass," Soren said.
"Hehe, Soren, tell me do you like anyone here? Or will you also go somewhere else?" Raven asked, and she took a sip from her glass as she waited for his response.
"Like in what sense? I was a little surprised when I saw the ladies here bravely accepting their nudity.
"But everyone has their own life and problems," Soren answered.
But that was not what I asked," Raven thought, as she smiled weakly towards him.
"Soren, if you don't mind, would you like to go on a walk with me?" Suddenly, Zareena asked. Swirling her silver hair with her finger.
