After Vicente and Lina had finished what they had done in that VIP room of Grandis' best restaurant, the two received their food.
She couldn't help but remain silent while the waiters served them, too ashamed of what had happened in such a place to say anything or look at the people there.
As soon as the last of the waiters left and left them alone again, Vicente let out a laugh as he saw how red she was.
"Why are you laughing?" She asked as she looked at him.
"It's nothing. You're adorable, Lina."
"You... What you made me do here was shameful! Did they hear us?" she asked, concerned.
"You made a lot of noise."
Gulp!
"But no, there's no way they could have heard us," Vicente said confidently. "There are sound formations in this room. That must be to protect the big deals that are occasionally made in this establishment."
"Sigh! I hope so. Otherwise, I won't have the courage to walk around in public anymore," she said as she relaxed a little.
But she couldn't complain to this man for taking her here. As much as she hadn't planned on starting her sex life in a place like this, she couldn't help but feel incredible.
Despite all the problems, what she had just experienced had been incredible enough for her not to feel angry with Vicente.
"Next time, take me somewhere more suitable for these things. Let's not do this in a restaurant where we might be discovered, and it's not comfortable," she said as she began to eat.
Vicente looked at her with interest. 'Already thinking about next time, huh?' He smiled.
"Of course. You can come tomorrow to my room where I'm staying." He suggested.
She looked at him momentarily as she chewed her food, but when she felt something in her private parts, she couldn't refuse the opportunity. After a moment, she said. "All right."
"By the way, you're staying in the capital until what day?" She asked him after she had eaten a little more and the tension in her body had eased.
"I'm staying for two more days. Then I'll go back to my place."
"That's it?" She asked in surprise.
"Yes, I'm very busy. After this departure, I don't intend to return to the capital any time soon. But it would be nice to have someone in the capital to help me..." He said in a suggestive tone, looking into Lina's brown eyes.
"Help you how?" she asked.
He was direct in his words: "With orders. From time to time, I will have coins and demand for materials that are difficult to obtain in Scott Province. I need someone to place the orders I need at the right time.
If I had someone able to go to Saltstar City every 6 or 8 months and then come to Grandis, that would help me a lot."
She said to him. "Since you've made an agreement with my father, it's only natural that I help His Majesty keep track of your progress. I can help you with that. Other things in the province interest me, too."
"I can imagine." Vicente laughed.
Soon, they would talk about more serious matters, such as some of his plans and his future hunt for pentagrams.
"I'll be moving on to the fourth stage soon," Lina commented to Vicente. "If you don't see any problems, I can join your group. I know you'll be hunting pentagrams in a powerful area of the continent, so I could benefit a lot."
She was sincere in this part of the conversation. She wasn't trying to get close to the man who had taken her, but being a magician looking for an opportunity to grow.
If she depended on her family, she would hunt pentagrams in the Chutha Dynasty. But if she went alongside Vicente's group, she could go to the strongest places someone at the 4th stage could go.
The pentagrams and cultivation opportunities of such areas would naturally be much better for her!
"Would your father allow something like that?" Vicente asked. "I don't mind letting you join my group, but you must understand that we will face great dangers on this hunt.
The Purification is about to take place around the time my group leaves, so we may face many monsters and even vampires.
You can also advance in a short time and get your pentagram sooner if you don't go with us."
"I know, I've considered it through. I actually made this appointment with you today to talk about it. Although it would be safer for me to use my family to hunt for my fourth pentagram, the fact is that I can go further by following alongside your group.
I'd like to join you when the time comes. She said with seriousness in her voice and expression.
Vicente sensed that she wasn't rushing into anything and didn't try to convince her otherwise. "All right. You can come with us."
She smiled in satisfaction, remaining silent for a moment until the waiters served their dessert.
She was calmer now and no longer showed any nervousness.
When they had finished eating, Vicente asked. "By the way, do you know if the Magicians Alliance is doing anything about the monster situation around the continent?"
The Magicians Alliance was an ancient Polaris Realm organization in which human states, sects, and clans were part, representing the common good of their magical civilization on the continent.
It had served human dominance over the continent a long time ago, but its structures still exist today.
Lina's father was part of this group, so she knew a few things about the Magicians Alliance today.
She answered him, "The Magicians Alliance isn't as strong as it was in the past. Although it still exists, human dominance over the Polaris Realm has undeniably caused this organization to lose some of its purpose.
As it currently stands, it couldn't stop The Purification problem on its own. And many forces around the continent don't even know about the monster problem yet.
My family only found out about it after an alert from a Num in Scott Province. Before that, we were in the dark about the current situation.
So, several states on the continent may be in the dark about the problem developing to the north, which could contribute to the Magicians Alliance not having the support it needs...
Sigh! Maybe we need a calamity for the Magicians Alliance to return to its former glory." She closed her eyes and shook her head in pessimism.
"I see. That's worrying." He commented in an unhappy tone.
"But the Magicians Alliance knows what's happening and is already moving. The group's experts have action plans to prevent and contain the crisis. And men are already traveling the continent to disseminate information about the crisis developing in the north." She added.
