Chapter 1109: She’s Awake
"When he’s done screwing the foxy," Feng replied without wasting a single moment.
Princess Felicity blinked twice before her lips parted in shock. "Wwhatever do you mean by that?!" Her porcelain cheeks flushed pink, and the little royal composure she still maintained crumbled instantly.
Feng shrugged with a cheeky smirk. "What? Do you think babies are brought by storks? Wait, I forgot, you failed your biology classes, too."
"!!" The princess grew redder still, sputtering for words.
Perched comfortably on Feng’s shoulder, Rosie kicked her legs idly. "Rosie knows! Babies are made when the male inserts-"
Felicity nearly leapt out of her shoes, hands flying to cover the little dryad’s mouth. "I-I know too! I just didn’t think that Lord Black... In the middle of the day?!"
"The dude has nine wives, what do you think? From morning to evening, his duties never cease..." Feng shook her head while giggling, knowing just how needy some of Quinlan’s women were. She wasn’t involved in these details, of course, but it didn’t take a genius to figure some stuff out. Feng was a very observant girl, especially when it came to Quinlan.
Pulling her hands away, Felicity leaned close, whispering sharply. "How do you even know that they’re doing it?"
Another shrug came from Feng, this one paired with a bored tilt of her head. The Chaos Gremlin couldn’t reply that she overheard her mothers using [Master’s Link] to say that the Slutty Foxy dragged him away to get what remained of her brains demolished. Truly, some of them need to be more cautious with whom they involve in the chat.
’Or was Seraphiel playing a prank on me...?’ Feng realized with narrowed eyes.
"I just know." The oriental teen decided to investigate later and dismissed the princess entirely, then her crystal blue eyes moved toward the surroundings instead. "So? How’s it here?"
Felicity puffed her cheeks at being so obviously ignored, but the pout didn’t last long. Her radiant smile bloomed again, as it always did. "I love it! It’s so much better than the palace! There are so many curiosities here, but even just taking a breath of this fresh forest air and lying beneath Rosie’s tree is already far too wonderful! I can’t believe I thought the palace was as good as it gets..."
Rosie puffed up proudly at Felicity’s words. The dryad stretched out one of the branches from her tree before gently lowering it to pat the princess’s light purple hair. "Good girl, Felicity."
"E-Eh?!" Felicity froze. She didn’t know how to react properly..
Before she could figure out how to respond, a deep masculine voice cut across the air. "I’m glad to hear that you have such nice things to say about our home."
"Lord Black!" Felicity jumped to her feet. The sheepishness came immediately after, especially when her eyes landed on the fox wrapped around his arm, tails swishing lazily as she looked far too smug for her own good. One glance was enough to confirm it; Feng hadn’t been far off at all.
On Quinlan’s other side, Seraphiel walked in perfect elvish grace. The gorgeous blonde elf instantly lit up, her smile growing impossibly wide when she caught sight of Felicity’s flustered reaction. It was enough to make Feng narrow her eyes. The realization struck like lightning. That earlier message... she hadn’t been included by accident. She’d been pranked.
The group moved to settle beneath the shade provided by Rosie’s tree. Quinlan sat down first with the foxy still attached. Seraphiel chose the spot right beside Feng. The elf’s hand rose with every intention of patting the girl’s head.
*Smack.* Feng swatted her hand away with a cute scoff.
At the exact same time, Rosie hopped off Feng’s shoulder and onto Quinlan’s instead, chirping happily.
Then, without warning, a ripple of power surged beside Quinlan. A portal tore open at his command, and from within stepped Ayame and Aurora.
"Mavena and Robert have been relocated," Ayame decreed briskly. "They’re in Miri Town now."
Aurora then added, "Lucille stayed behind with them to ensure they settled down better."
"Miri Town...?" Felicity tilted her head, brow furrowing. "What place is that? I’ve never heard of it, and geography was one of the subjects I managed to pass!"
Nobody answered her.
Instead, Ayame lowered herself gracefully to sit in front of Quinlan, her face set in grim seriousness. "I heard we have a couple of new guests."
Quinlan’s reply was as dry as his expression. "... We do."
"New guests? Who?" Felicity asked excitedly.
But then her cheer faltered.
At the edge of her gaze, something shifted. An ominous presence seeped into the stronghold, thick enough to coat her throat in frost. Her wide eyes snapped toward the movement, and there she was. ℟ἁꞐǒꞖ˧
A woman.
She walked like she owned the earth beneath her boots, though her expression remained eerily blank. Her skin gleamed with tattoos that curled across taut muscle like living serpents. Black leather clung to her body while her piercing eyes traversed across the surroundings.
She was confused—that much was clear—but no trace of the emotion showed on her face. Instead, with every step, her aura sharpened, turning more hostile and suffocating.
Quinlan and the others noticed her instantly.
The woman finally halted. "Who’s the boss of this place? I’m going to kill them."
Quinlan rose at last. Calm. Cold. His presence filled the space effortlessly, a weight that pressed back against her killing intent. "Raika. I see you still can’t remember me, even though you’ve seen me multiple times."
Quinlan’s girls stood up alongside him, ready to engage if needed.
"Raika..." Felicity murmured, her face paling as realization slammed into her. Her eyes went wide. "Raika the Brutalizer! She’s a wanted woman! Guys, run!"
The princess immediately stood up, skirts fluttering as she tried to bolt, only for a hand to clasp hers. She whirled to see Feng gripping her casually, not even looking at her.
"H-hey! Jiai!! Let me go!" Felicity tugged, squirmed, even stomped, but it was like trying to break free of iron chains. She was simply too weak.
Feng had a big smile on her lips as she watched Quinlan’s broad shoulder from behind, and how he stood in a way to shield her completely from Raika’s line of sight. ’Always so protective...’ she thought.
Then the tender smile turned eerie as the girl’s oriental features found Felicity. "Why are you acting like a headless chick right now? This guy’s already in a relationship with Vex the Hexblade, and he’s got a way bigger bounty on his head than Raika."
"... Oh." Felicity froze mid-struggle, the logic catching up with her. Then her eyes popped open even wider. "Wait, he’s together with Vex the Hexblade?!"
"She’s Miss Yandere, as you know her."
The princess’s jaw dropped. "... You took a wanted criminal to Father’s birthday party?!"
"Yes," Feng replied without hesitation.
As the two teens continued their ridiculous back-and-forth, the real storm brewed at the center.
Quinlan stepped forward. The air itself bent, shimmering as elements bled into existence, flames dancing in one palm, water shifting across the other.
He gestured for his girls to stay behind and continued walking toward the black-haired woman.
"I’m the boss of this place."
