Chapter 866: It’s Still A High Class Event
The place was surprisingly packed with people as even more guests showed up. I had honestly expected this to be a very exclusive event where only a few people might attend but I obviously underestimated the scale of the event.
I suppose considering the fact that this was a Pleasure station that was located inside Inner Colony space, the rich elites would be here and they would definitely want to attend something as performative as this.
Speaking of which, I’ve basically been relegated to the role of being some kind of rich lady or something and my girls were taking to their roles of being my bodyguards with a surprising amount of enthusiasm.
I have to say that acting as the rich lady here wasn’t really that difficult considering all I had to do was just marvel at the animals and pretend to be interested in the things that the person in front of me was talking about.
"I have a few of these at home, you know? They make quite a nice decoration when you place them as a centrepiece in your living room," A middle aged man with snow white beard informed me unsolicitedly.
I made a polite noise in response.
The old man mistook my noise for interest and he gestured towards the animal in the enclosure, "Do you know their names? They’re called Night Hunters. Named after the fact that they are very deadly at night but not so much in the day. Interesting right?"
I had to hold myself back from telling him that the white animal in front of us was called a Snowy Owl and opted to just look at the bird that was perched on the branch inside the enclosure.
The bird had been perched on a taller branch that was almost out of view but it quickly flew down to the branch nearest to me when I appeared to watch me.
It almost felt like it was waiting for instructions or something.
I want to pet it...
"If you’d like, perhaps you might want to come and visit my place, my lady? I could even show you what they look like without this glass separating us."
Oh my god, are they all like this?
I was about to tell him off when another voice came from behind us.
"I do not believe she is interested in you, Sir Gretea."
Both the old man and I turned around to see a dark skinned woman with strikingly bright blue hair that was tied up in an elaborate bun standing behind us.
Her light blue eyes looked like they were also glowing slightly which almost distracted me from the fact that she had two huge jugs that were comparable to mine in size jutting out from the front of her chest.
She was dressed in a white dress that exposed the top of her chest with puffy sleeves and slits on both sides of her skirt where the dark, chocolate legs were wrapped with white stockings that were a clear contrast to her own skin.
Two draconic horns also jutted out from the top of her head and a long, black tail swayed behind her lazily.
At first, I thought her cleavage was completely exposed until I realised that she was wearing some kind of black, skintight suit underneath the dress that covered her from the neck down and even wrapped around her fingers on her hand.
Accompanying her were a few burly men wearing suits, all of them sporting similar draconic features except they all had different skin colours from red to blue and to green.
Seeing that her bodyguards also had draconic features, I don’t think the woman modded herself like Theresa did.
That means she’s an actual Dragonling and not a modded human.
The old man scowled at her, "Lady Iceborne... I did not know that you were here as well."
"Is it a problem for me to be here?"
"No... Not at all. Ah, I think there’s another interesting creature there, if you would excuse me..."
The old man then walked away with his guards in tow.
The dark skinned Dragonling woman stepped towards me, giving me a smile that showed two rows of pearly white teeth.
She curtsied, "Are you alright, my lady?"
Oh crap, this is where I have to put my acting skills to work.
I curtsied as well, "I am alright. Thank you for your help with him earlier."
She straightened herself, "It’s alright. I am well familiar with what he is like. And I do not blame him when there is someone as stunning as you walking around without a companion here. Ah, where are my manners? I am Vieretha Iceborne, may I know your good name, my Lady?"
Err... What do I say here?
"It is my pleasure to meet you. Please call me Tera."
"My, what a beautiful name. I fear I may be overstepping my bounds for this, but perhaps I might convince you to accompany me? That should at least keep the others away from you. I mean that not as a slight to your guards of course, but there are some people here who aren’t able to take no as an answer."
Well... I thought about pointing out that she could very well be one of those people as well but I guess having a big breasted dragon lady accompanying me was infinitely preferable as compared to some random guy I guess.
I nodded, "I would be happy to have your company, Lady Iceborne."
She stepped up and surprised me by looping her right arm around my arm while her right hand held onto me like it was the most natural thing to do.
She then shot me a smile, "Is there anything you would like to see, Lady Tera?"
I had to tear my attention away from her boobs that were pressing against my arm as well to answer her, "I have no preference, really. It’s my first time here."
"Oh. It is the same for me as well. I suppose we can just take a walk around and see what is on display?"
I nodded and we just picked a random direction to start walking, leaving that owl exhibit behind to head to the next one that was beside it.
I couldn’t help but peek at the horns above her head, a little transfixed by their shape and colour as they look like obsidian crystals that were jutting out from the top of her head.
She immediately noticed and turned to tilt her head at me, "Might this be the first time you are seeing a Dragonling?"
I nodded slowly, "It is... I apologise for staring."
"Fufu~ There’s no need for that. I understand that my kind is quite rarely seen in these parts. I admit that I don’t usually come to places like this and I’m only here because I am interested in seeing these creatures."
"Ah... You like animals then?"
"Hmm... Not exactly. It is a little more complicated than that. What about you, Lady Tera?"
"I was just in the area and received an invitation from Miss Yuki to attend this event, that’s all."
"I see. Might I ask what your family does, Lady Tera?"
Shit... I need to come up with something quickly... Err... Hmm... Do I just make up something?
I cleared my throat and tossed out the first excuse that came to mind, "Ahem... I would prefer to keep that private if you don’t mind."
"Fufufu~ I understand, Lady Tera. So what do you think of me?"
I blinked up at her, "What do you mean?"
"As the first Dragonling that you’ve met, I would like to know what your first impression of my kind is~"
"I think you are really beautiful," I admitted, seeing no reason to lie.
"Oh my~ That’s surprising. I thought for sure you might be one of those who might find me intimidating~ I was even thinking that you might only be going along with me because you felt intimidated~"
Eh? Intimidated? By what?
I mean... I guess maybe some girls might feel intimidated by the fact that she has such huge boobs but for me, I only see it as a bonus.
I gestured towards her with my free hand, "Believe me, if I was intimidated, I would not be letting you do this."
"Oh? You are a funny one, Lady Tera. Fufufu~ I do find you quite enchanting as well. May I know if you might have a suitor?"
"Not at all," I answered, figuring that it wouldn’t be a good idea to admit that my guards were also my lovers here.
Her eyes seemed to glow brighter and it looked like she was about to say something before a sudden explosion rocked through the exhibition hall, quickly filling up the place with smoke.
Huh... And here I was thinking that nothing might actually happen here... Guess that was too optimistic of me...
Oh well, sorry Vieretha... But it’s time for me and my girls to get to work~
