"So even though you beat Lucian and Fae and Anne, they were holding back?, I would expect that from Fae but not Anne or Lucian, strange". Yunan really disregarded the empty details and went for the useless ones. "You see, when a genius is beyond compet.i.tion, they start to perform lower than their opponents, they limit themselves, they think if they lose, they would have a chance to gain a challenge even if it was sub-par".Yunan nodded "that makes sense, so what made you take in Balin and Dustan?". "seriously that is what you want to ask, why not ask me why i endured for so long, why did i go for the hearts, anything else is better than this question!", "just answer me woman, i will ask the useless questions later". "Fine, Dustan was strong enough to keep a boss focused on him and then escape safely, so much so that his party did not even look back when they ran, when i recruited him i told him he can expect fights where he is not the only one who can take on a boss without trouble"
"As for Balin, there was nothing to consider, a genius smith that walked unmolested into a faction and was wreaking havoc, i recruited him by saying if he can smith an armor we can not break he gets to be the leader, it was so much fun seeing him cry after we demolished his latest armor using bosses, but before long he joined us in trying to destroy his armours, as for Bai, he just joined one day, he sat with us near the same campfire and we took him in, according to what i got out of him after drowning him in strong alcohol, he followed me one day after i made my way inside a faction and killed my target and left without much of trace left behind, he saw me kill the rest of my enemies, he saw how i fed Lucian the hearts of those who betrayed him and after rescuing Fae he decided to join us"
"So only Anne refused to join? Also why did you wait for so long before killing them?", "Anne was still in her nude phase, she wasn"t keen on a no s.e.x allowed party so we just ended up as partners, we exclusively used her services and she gave us discounts or we had to find items for her, a sweet deal because now she is mine, as for that, i was in denial, i ended up wanting to see if it was all true, i got used to waiting and when he made his plan bare to me that day, i snapped out of it".
Yunan was really impressed in a way "i really pity you, i am impressed you did not break by that, i know i would have, thanks to you being in my life i don"t have to worry about it, but d.a.m.n woman that is some scary skeleton in your closet" that got him a punch in the throat "if any one else in this world said they pity they would be dead, and my closet has no skeletons in it, only beautiful s.e.xy things that can make me prettiest". "Cough, cough, didn"t you want a normal ordinary reaction, that was mine, geez woman, why are you so needy tonight, can"t we just kiss and you get cured of the i-may-kill-my-party syndrome".
"No kisses for you, just pinches and punches, pee & pee, i like how it sounds so humiliating when abbreviated, and that is what you get for showing me pity". Mary was almost back to her ordinary self after so many years with Debauchery, she just chose to only show that enthusiastic maiden full of life and love only to Yunan, only he did not judge her by the same measurements that others used. "Fine, only pee & pee for me, can i sneak a peek? I think it would be a marvelous sight to behold, cough, ugh, no choking please, cough, i don"t like cough autoerotic asphyxiation cough, cough".
Mary had laughter tears in her eyes as she pretended to strangle Yunan and he pretended to be losing breath, it has been so long since she was so free to play around without concern for anything, she could do the same with her party mates but she wanted to stay as their Leader, that and the role of young, lovely and lively maiden was taken up by Fae, enough to cover for both of them in fact, but that"s just how Fae was, overdoing it with everything she had in her power.
The two played around with words and fists and kisses until dawn, they watched as the sun"s illumination seemed to disperse the stormy clouds in the horizon, causing the weather to clear up in both reality and their hearts. The two leaned on each other as they watched the beautiful sun rise, after the golden globe sailed the sky in earnest the two returned home to sleep in Yunan"s bedroom where his wives took them under a blanket of warm flesh and even warmer feelings, it was thanks for the tragedy Mary had that Yunan could create such a room without worrying about anything going wrong.
As for the loveliest of maidens, Mary, she could sleep in this room sounder than any other place in the world, here, she could be as vulnerable as she wanted and all she would find would be people sharing their vulnerability with her, just as sleep was about to claim her she received a telepathic message from Yunan.
"If i was half as strong as you, i would feel i did not waste my life under your tutelage, you are very strong, even more than you may believe, and if making you smile a bit brighter every day can make you feel better about yourself, than I will call you all kinds of humiliating names, when you get over that b.a.s.t.a.r.d"s treason, i would need to find you a good and capable mate, offering myself would be bad, i love my current lifestyle, remember just one thing, as long as you can smile from the bottom of your heart, there is nothing you can"t handle, if you start finding that hard to do, come to me, i will kiss your doubts away". Mary"s response was the sound of a cute deep sleep snoring, Yunan just grabbed the warm bodies around him even closer and he too dove into the arms of sleep.
