Inheritor Of Magic: The Magi King

Chapter 709 709 Rue and Rail



Rue and Rail continued to glare at each other for the entire meal, but it was clear that Rail had won their exchange. While her old roommate, and the apparent prodigy of their succubus skills classes, was now an executive’s secretary, Rail was as powerful as Rue’s boss, and had the position of Senior Investigator, which commanded a level of power that the average businessman could only dream about.

It was quite the shock for the snobbish Succubus, and Rue wasn’t taking it well. But in front of so many Demon Princesses and the local Patriarch, there was no way that she could politely run away with her tail tucked between her legs until after dessert was served.

Carmine in particular was having great fun at the new arrival’s expense.

“So, Miss Rue, can you tell me a bit more about how things went after school? I have spent some time getting to know Miss Rail, so it would be so interesting to compare.” She requested.

Despite being from different Kingdoms, it would be incredibly rude to turn down the Princess’ request, but Rue was growing increasingly certain that she didn’t want these people to know much about her past. Instead, she would gloss over the details and try to at least make herself look a bit better.

“Well, once I left the finishing school, things were somewhat set for me by my parents. They’re Incubus Kingdom Nobility, both of them Viscounts, and they insisted that I should move on to studying business. So, after finishing school, I moved on to the Royal Academy for a four-year degree in business management.

After that, I took a position as an executive assistant to the Chief Financial Officer of DemRon Corp, which turned out to be somewhat less lucrative than expected.” She began.

Dana leaned over to whisper an explanation in Wolfe’s ear. “DemRon Corp was implicated in a huge embezzlement scandal, and the senior executives all fled without warning, leaving only a massive debt and unpaid salaries behind. As far as I know, they still haven’t been found.”

That was incredibly unfortunate. Especially for the executive assistant of their Chief Financial Officer.

“After that, I spent some time job hunting while staying with my parents. The scandal hit close to home, as they were both heavily invested in the company, and the stigma lingered for some time.

But eventually, I managed to prove my worth to the Vice President of Marketing for the Dora Group, and I was taken on as a Budgeting Accountant in the Marketing Department. That was a wonderful position, but after three years, I was recruited by the Kara Group’s Young Master as his personal assistant, and now I am here. He prefers to sleep during the daylight hours, so I still have a half hour before he will need his breakfast tea served.” Rae explained.

Carmine smiled at her. “How unfortunate to have been caught up in such a scandal, and at a high level, no less. It is a wonder that you managed to recover so easily.”

It was obvious to Wolfe that she was just being polite, but Rae began to relax a little in relief that the Princess wasn’t going to openly mock her. Even as the Personal Assistant to the next CEO, her position wasn’t high, and while her job would come with perks and luxury, the reverse bunny suit she was wearing was not her choice, her employer insisted on it for his personal entertainment.

It was considered acceptable attire in the Incubus Kingdom, but not classy. Not anything even approaching classy. On the other hand, while Rail was in just a skirt and blazer, she looked much more dignified, emphasizing her position as a professional that belonged in such company.

Finally, dessert was served, but only a single bite in, Rae’s phone began to beep with alerts as her boss woke up early and began to wonder where his breakfast was.

Wolfe raised a hand to bring one of the servers over, and requested that a breakfast set with tea be sent to the businessman’s room, while Rae politely excused herself to get ready for her shift to start.

Rail smiled at her as she made her parting excuses. “It was a pleasure to catch up with you, if you have time, do come to see us again.”

“Of course, have a pleasant evening, Rail, Princesses, Lady Cassie, Patriarch Noxus.”

Then she scurried away, blending into the crowd with the practised grace of a well-trained assistant.

Once she was gone, Cassie sighed and turned her attention to Rail. “At least try to be nice to her the next time you meet. I have an appointment with her boss later this evening, since he’s looking after one of the Harpies’ Villages on the eastern side of the Frozen Wastes, near the mountains. So we will see her again soon, but in her professional capacity.”

“Of course, of course. I might not like her, but I won’t mess with her work. Besides, you have an appointment with him, not me. I can just skip it entirely and have a nap.” Rail shrugged. The source of this content ɪs ɴovᴇl_Firᴇ.ɴet

“Without Wolfe. He needs to be at the meeting this time as well, since the Harpies are looking for more assistance that we don’t currently have in stock. I’m not sure what the deal is, but the meeting is to determine if it’s legitimate or if he’s just looking to pad his company’s pockets off the relief supplies.” Cassie added.

Wolfe frowned. “That doesn’t sound like fun at all. I’ve got a good book to read on new spells, can I take a rain check?”

The ladies all laughed at his complaints. He had been gone long enough, and there was no getting out of the annoying meetings now. They had been delayed until he returned, and now they couldn’t be put off any longer.

“Fine, let’s get through this meeting. Then maybe we can have a brief discussion about dress code. The succubus is only the beginning of the issue, we seem to have an inordinate number of exhibitionist Fae, who don’t believe in clothes at all. Not that I’m particularly bothered, but I would like to know what the standard is, so I know who is just showing off.”
