Chapter 383 - Passage City’s New City Lord And Massage • • • •
"What do you mean?" Kenova asked with squinted eyes.
Von\'s words insinuated that something disastrous would happen to the city.
"Heh. Once it involved a royal controlling the city, it could only mean that a civil war might erupt. One faction belonging to each prince or even the princess," Von replied with a knowing smile on his face.
Kenova furrowed his eyebrows at his explanation. It sounded dangerously close to what Lawrend was planning.
This man\'s intelligence scared Kenova. He couldn\'t help but take him very seriously.
"It seems like I was correct," Von said and smirked.
As the merchant prodigy, he was keen on people\'s body language. Kenova was like an open book to him.
"When will it be announced?" Kenova asked.
He dodged the topic as he was starting to feel uncomfortable about it.
"Let\'s do it next week. I will make arrangements for you," Von replied.
"Thank you. You can find me at this inn," Kenova said and passed him a small paper card with the inn\'s address.
"Alright. I will contact you soon," Von replied and nodded his head in satisfaction.
"Well then, I will be going," Kenova said and turned around to leave.
"A Rubrignis..?" Von muttered as he held his chin.
"It seems like his enemies are getting closer…"
…
"Was that good, Lawrend?" Kenova asked.
Although he was Humility\'s subordinate, he knew that she was also just Lawrend\'s subordinate. That\'s why he asked him directly.
"That\'s good. He\'s very impressive. Be careful around him. Stabilize your position as soon as possible," Lawrend replied.
At this point, Von could do anything he wanted, even if Kenova became the City Lord. He had all the support and power of the Merchant Guild, which was the powerhouse of this city.
"I understand. I will do that," Kenova replied.
They returned to the inn, and Lawrend entered his room and sat on the bed.
He pondered about their next course of action. They could already leave this city and head to the next one. The problem was that he was quickly running out of time.
He could either send his powerful maids to the rest of the cities, but that would be very risky. There was a high chance that someone would catch on to what he was planning.
He could also just focus on the powerful cities like he initially planned.
"I guess I have no other choice. The next city would be the last one," Lawrend said.
The next city would be north of their current location. It was directly south of the capital city, and it was also a wealthy city.
"Have you decided where we are going next, Master?" Aezel asked as she sat beside him on the bed.
"Yes. We\'re heading to Startail City," Lawrend replied.
"Startail City? That\'s an interesting name."
"It\'s at the southmost part of the Stargazing Mountain\'s mountain range. That\'s where it got its name," Lawrend replied.
"Oh! I understand now, Master."
Lawrend learned all of that from the map he got from Uncle Kaban. It had a short description of the city.
"Let\'s rest for an hour and head out," Lawrend said.
"Fufufufu. Do you want a \'massage\'?" Aezel winked at him.
"What massage?" Lawrend asked and pretended to be innocent and unaware of what she meant.
"Oil massage with my boobs," Aezel replied with a smile on her face.
"Wouldn\'t that take too long?"
"Well… Then I will just massage your little brother," Aezel replied.
"Alright."
Lawrend let her have her way for today. After all, she won this herself.
"Mmmm… I love you, Master. You\'re so talented. I won\'t let any other demon girl get close to you," Aezel said to him with a smirk on her face.
She was very competitive with other demons as she was formerly one. She doesn\'t want others to have the advantage of having a talented husband like him.
"They will probably try to kill me the first thing after I get them pregnant," Lawrend replied to her wryly.
It was still fresh in his memory. How he almost died in Aezel\'s hands.
"Fufufufu. I\'m your personal demon or fallen angel, Master. I still have my horns, you know?" Aezel said.
She was quite proud of her horns. They were hard and powerful looking.
"Let me see them. You almost don\'t unhide them anymore," Lawrend replied.
She honestly looked more like an oni compared to a demon from his past life. She didn\'t have the curved goat horns that demons were depicted to in western culture.
"Fufufufu. For my lovely Master, I will show you both my wings and my horns," Aezel replied.
She closed her eyes and unfurled her large gray wings while also revealing her sharp horns.
Aezel bared her fangs at him smilingly.
"How do I look, Master?" Aezel asked.
"You look powerful and beautiful. I want you to massage me in that form," Lawrend said.
"That\'s my intention," Aezel replied.
She left the bed and kneeled in between his knees on the floor.
"This is an oil Sister Grape gave me," Aezel said as she pulled out a small bottle of oil from her waistline.
"Since when did you have that?" Lawrend asked in surprise.
"Sister Humility kept it for me. I got it from her earlier," Aezel replied.
After saying that, Aezel unpacked his holy sword. She drizzled it with the oil and used her hand to spread it along the shaft.
Looking at his shiny holy sword, Aezel had the urge to lick it, but she controlled herself.
After she managed to cover his holy sword in oil, she then proceeded to cover her breasts in oil.
She poured them in between her cleavage and all over her chest.. She then undressed and massaged her boobs to spread the oil everywhere.
