~~~(POV: Saliandra Orvello)~~~

~~~(location: The City of Yordase, The Empire of Larmodies)~~~

~~~(Time: 6:32 AM)~~~

My eyes slowly flutter open, and I look at the ceiling for a good few seconds before rubbing the morning gunk out of my source of sight. It's been a hot minute since I slept that good without Cera next to me.

Makes me wonder if he sleeps any differently if I'm there or not. I don't think he'd have a harder time, but it'd be nice to know that my lack of being there with him gives him some discomfort.

None of that should really be on my mind. Not with the important things I'm doing tonight. Those are when the shipments are arriving. And it's smart to do it at night, in my opinion. It makes it easier to do illegal activities.

"First things first... I need something good to eat, and the smell coming from downstairs is convincingly good..."

It's a fact of life that all living beings need food, and that includes me. The blankets fly off the bed as I push them hard, and I stand up in the nude. The brisk cool air in my room doesn't do me any favors, so I'm quick to equip my armor.

I'm glad that I have several different kinds of extra panties, but the ones I sent Cera were my favorite to wear. They were comfortable, and I miss them already.

The moment I leave my Inn room, I head downstairs. It's a lively breakfast. There are several people, and this is what it should look like before the day starts. Most people don't start their jobs until 8:00 AM.

Wasting no time, I head to the bar and hand the Innkeeper back the key to my room. Taking a menu to one of the tables with me. As I sit down, I notice that everyone seems much happier in general compared to the other places I've visited.

I guess it's normal, considering an Empire has higher standards of living. The food on the menu is a variety I haven't seen before. Cuisine exclusive to The Larmodies Empire.

After ordering, it takes about 10 minutes, but my food gets to me, and I immediately dig in. There are a few times that I prefer my world's food of Earths, but this is just divine... The food from Cera's world has many wonderful things about it, but it's got nothing on this...

"It's the juiciest hamburger I've ever eaten before... I wish I could have this every day..."

It's hard to resist anything that's this good, and I bet Cera would like this more than me. He's used to eating his world's food, so this'll be a pleasant change. Too bad he isn't here to share it with me.

After a couple of minutes of enjoying my breakfast, someone sits at my lone booth and looks across from me. I have my hood up to keep my identity hidden. And the person that's sitting across from me is a male. I already know where this is going.

"For such a lovely woman to be shoving meat down her throat like that... You must be pretty experienced with the art of meat..."

The man's innuendoes bother me way more than I'd ever let show. And I'm quickly running out of patience.

"Get out of my face before I cut yours off."

Despite my threat, it seems to motivate the man even more. This is what a masochist must be. Someone who enjoys pain and threats. And I'm not the slightest bit amused or interested. I have someone worth more to me than this parasite to society.

"You know, being cruel will only get you so far with men. You'll have way better luck catching a man to fuck with, honey. So, what do you say, sweetheart? Do you want to get out of here?"

There is only so much I can tolerate. And instead of answering, I stand up and draw my blade at speeds he can't react to. The next thing that happens, he's on the ground, dead. Before his body disappears in an explosion of little lights.

Cera calls them pixels. And that's what happens when Players die and respawn at the nearest Cathedral. Meaning there is a good chance he'll be back.

My good morning and breakfast have been ruined. And I pay for my meal and leave the Inn. Making my way away from the area in case he comes back with more people looking for trouble. Do other women go through what I have to go through?

It makes me wonder what women who aren't as strong as me have to do... There aren't many good people willing to stand up to a single person. Let alone an entire group...

"All the more reason to try and make a difference these days..."

It's time I get down to business, and I'm heading to the storehouses and the supply entrance for the city. A unique area for Yordase where the supplies for the city come through. It's got some good vantage points where I can watch.

I want to see who guards the place and who is there frequently. Knowing who I'm against and how many people they have is something that Cera taught me. I know Regelia is my target, but I don't know how involved she is in all this.

All I do know is she's in the city, and she'll be involved in whatever women come through, but that's it. There could be a moment where I only see her for a slipt second, and that might be my only chance.

Or she could be in charge of the entire operation and still be feeding my Father information. It does make my skin crawl. A fellow woman would be in this business...

The amount of money she could make is probably what tempted her. And my Father threatening her life is what's made her change sides... These are just my best guesses.

~~~(POV: Cera Adamo)~~~

~~~(Location: Mansion, The Kingdom of Zenith)~~~

~~~(Time: 7:12 AM)~~~

Today is the day I'm leaving Amelia, and she's not happy in the slightest. Just by looking at her, I can see she's been crying all night, but I'm not going to point it out while at the breakfast table.

"So, when do you leave..."

I take it she's in the mood to talk about it, but the slight cracks in her voice tell me she's not ready to hear any of this. But nothing can be done. It has to be talked about.

"I was thinking of leaving around 12:00 PM and heading into Capital City Zenith for my Search of Kris Martim. And I can't have you with me. You'd be a dead giveaway."

Her entire form flinches, and her hair casts a shadow over her eyes... Her hands are on the table for the time being, and I see her clench them. She does so to the point they start to bleed, and her head butler has to let her know what she's doing.

It's just us right now since the kids aren't awake yet, and it's working for her benefit, I guess. She doesn't have to hold back anything for the sake of showing false strength for her kids.

"This hurts way more than I thought it would... More than the last time you stopped by and had to leave... I promised myself I wouldn't cry..."

She looks up, and her eyes are clearly seen now. But there are tears falling from every part.

"But I just can't hold them back anymore... I'm sorry..."

Instead of just sitting here, I stand up and make my way over to her and wrap my arms around her. She tightly hugs me and releases wails of pain into my shoulder. Soaking the outer part of my armor with her tears and snot.

It's hard being important to people, but it's nice to know that someone cares about me this much.
