Chapter 371: A Party With Aristocrats
Chapter 371: A Party With Aristocrats
—–
Four days have passed since Ervas and Veronica registered in the Tamer Guild and the Adventurer Guild, and although they were simply three days, a lot of things had gone by.
Mitiliph, Acaracia, and Bert had been registered as Adventurers and had been steadily leveling up and changing Jobs thanks to Ervas and Veronica’s assistance, and had shown great talent at fighting and magic.
Aside from that, more of the members of their main party had registered as Adventurers, making it easy for them to be able to sell monster corpses or other materials within the Adventurers Guild.
Aside from this, Ervas and Veronica have been planning and preparing themselves for the raid to the Shadow Knives, one of the Underworld Organizations within Seashore that possess Demon God-King Fragments has weapons.
However, today was a day for relaxing, and Ervas and Veronica, alongside Kireina, Anna, and many others, have been invited to Willian’s house.
Willian was the Guild Master of the Merchant Guild and one of the richest men amongst Seashore.
By Ervas and Veronica request, he had a small welcome party for them, where he invited several Aristocrats so they could get to know Ervas and Veronica, the new ‘rich family’ of Seashore, who after only having been living for a week in the city was as rich as an aristocrat.
…Of course, this was because, through these four days, Veronica sold another sack of ores to Willian, enough for her and Ervas to become rich enough to be qualified as a figure of authority within the city.
Alongside this, they were already registered as Merchants, had VIP Cards, and were also good friends with Willian, even if they did not want to, the aristocrats of Seashore would be forced to accept them.
“Let me tell you my fellow friends that your clothes are incredibly well suited for this party… Especially Lady Veronica, Lady Kireina, and more… All of you look… incredibly gorgeous…” said Willian, as he admired the beauty of the women that were always at Ervas side, although he had never felt attracted to any women from other races that were not human until this moment.
“Oh my, Willian-san, you flatter me!” said Veronica, pretending her best to seem like a refined lady, although it did not come that well…
She was wearing a full, crimson-colored dress, which was tightly wrapped around her body, showing her curves and generous breasts, her pale white skin was rather glossy before the light of the candles, and her crimson eyes, wine-colored hair, and rosy lips made her seem like a beautiful vampiric enchantress.
“Oh well, this but a little dress, fufu. But thank you for your compliment,” said Kireina, her acting was way better than Veronica, and it came almost naturally, she was indeed a master of seduction, and her way of speech captivated most men around her, who naturally approached her to speak about various things, especially about her appearance, as they had never seen fairies before.
Kireina’s dress was similar to Veronica’s but was purple-colored, she had several butterfly-shaped orifices around her dress, showing some nude skin, especially around her hips or back, practically forcing males to see her body while trying to find some opening to see even more skin…
“Veronica do you really have to pretend like that? You’re terrible…” said Anna at Veronica’s side, her dress was even more tightly and short, only reaching a bit above her muscular thighs, showing off her beautiful and muscular shoulders, back and glossy chocolate-colored skin, even men that didn’t fancy muscular women found Anna a treat to their eyes.
Ervas, Veronica, and everyone with them was wearing beautiful formal clothes, the women such as Veronica, Kireina, and Anna, were wearing beautiful and refined dresses, which many of the women that were the wives of aristocrats glanced with envy due to the finesse in how these clothes were made.
Many women were eyeing them, and some bold ones even approached them, asking them how and where they got such beautiful dresses, which were sewed by Charlotte herself, a giant spider monster.
“Lady Kireina, right? I wonder where you could have gotten such a beautiful dress! I can’t believe how well designed it is… especially in the areas with the butterfly marks…” said one of the women, the wife of a random small aristocrat.
“Well, it is a secret, my dear, we have a personal designer for the Igni House, but perhaps if you and your husband come to visit us one day, we might be able to negotiate you a spot for her creations,” said Kireina rather elegantly, as the woman’s eyes shined brightly with hopes on getting her hands with such a dress.
Many other women were asking the same things to Veronica, Anna, Alesia, Ditoyle, and so on, their husbands had also noticed that such fine designs could cost a fortune, and if they were to buy the fabric, they could make a good profit by selling it to other Nations.
Aside from these new and smaller aristocrats whose Ervas and Veronica’s group were gaining their hearts, some people that the pair of split souls knew were also present, such as Doragon, with his wife, and Vairvec who had come with Potin.
Vairvec in specific was glaring at Ervas and Veronica with squinted eyes… he was one of the few that knew about their true and real strength, and had even figured out that Veronica could not even be a demi-human… However, he had remained silent about all of this for his own safety…
However, he was now acting very suspicious by glaring at them like this, and Potin tried to stop him.
“Lord Vairvec… please stop glaring them like that, some people are already noticing you…” said Potin rather worried.
“Hm? What is wrong with glaring at people now? I can’t use my eyes? I am a Guild Master, I don’t care about the glares of others, and I am not suspicious! I am… just thinking about… the well… made dresses. Yes, that is it,” said Vairvec while nodding and sipping in some of the wine he was holding with his right hand.
“Hmph, this drink tastes too sweet, it made my throat sore, what is this? It has a hint of blueberry…” muttered Vairvec.
“Oh, do you like it? That is Veronica’s special wine,” said Jason’s voice, the father of Ervas, who was right behind Vairvec, where a large desk filled with snacks and food for people to pick and try was.
Jason was currently tasting the delicious plates served alongside some wine and other drinks, and noticed Vairvec strange remarks and decided to speak to him.
“…What? You… You are Ervas’ father, right? Jason… Jason Igni, is it? (I barely sensed his presence, perhaps he is not as strong as his son? Maybe he is a mere civilian… Although what does he mean by special wine? …Wait, was this made by Veronica?!)” asked Vairvec, as he glanced at the wine while his eyebrows raised, leaving the cup of purple wine over the table with a bit of wariness.
“Why yes, I am Jason Igni. I am pleased to meet you sir Vairvec, my son and Veronica always talk about you, and how you always are a good Guild Master that gives them good and fitting missions. I also appreciate that you let Mitiliph, Acaracia, and Bert register in the Guild despite being too young, it was really their dream, it made them very happy,” said Jason with a gentle smile, Vairvec could not feel any type of pressure or inherent maliciousness from his presence, making him doubt if he was really the biological parent of Ervas…
“I-I see… Well, I am just doing my duty, there is no need to praise me… and about those children, I did it by bending a bit the rules, make sure to not spread what I did around, or it might hurt my reputation, sir Jason. (Hmph, he seems like a normal and simpleton human… He is not near as powerful or strange as his son and the sister of his son… Wait, is Veronica his daughter?)” said Vairvec.
“O-Oh, I see! I will make sure to keep my mouth shut about that…” said Jason.
“Hmm… By the way, Veronica seems way older than Ervas… is she really your daughter?” asked Vairvec.
“Oh… About that… I cannot really tell you that… But she is related to Ervas,” said Jason.
“I-I see… well, that’s… how things are… (So he cannot tell me?! What kind of secrets is this strange and bizarre family keeping?! I should really go spy on their manor… If it wasn’t because they are too strong for me to even risk my life like that…)” said Vairvec.
Doragon and his wife, who was of his same race and similar appearance named Drakna, walked near Ervas and Veronica, greeting them cordially.
“Oh my, are they Ervas and Veronica? The talented tamers you talk so much about, my husband?” asked Drakna, her body was slim and tall, with chocolate-colored skin that had a glossy golden glow, wide hips, generous breasts, long silver-white hair, golden eyes, and large golden horns growing over her head like a crown, she also had two wings and fine claws and sharp talons covered in black scales.
“D-Don’t say that in front of her please…” sighed Doragon.
“Ah, Doragon! Oh, is that…?” asked Veronica.
“It is nice to meet you here, Veronica. She’s my wife, Drakna,” said Doragon rather carefreely.
“I see, she’s such a beautiful woman… Are you two from the same tribe?” asked Veronica.
“Indeed, I wonder from where your tribe is…” said Ervas.
“Oh! They are interested in our tribe! They are wonderful people,” said Drakna, immediately realizing that those that were always interested in her ethnicity were good people, as most aristocrats were racists that often ignored her and her husband in such parties.
“Haha, well, our tribe lives a bit far away from Seashore, near an area named Dead Sea Dunes, we moved here with my wife and kids when I earned enough money,” said Doragon, as he continued speaking about his life.
