Infinite Finity

Chapter 22

The guests looked at the new smaller group in interest. Unlike the previous one, they simply wore gloves and animal masks along with their suits and dresses.

A woman with a snake mask had her arm looped through the arm of a man with a fox mask. The other woman was wearing a cat mask and walked with a man wearing a bear mask. His arm was around her waist possessively as his silver eyes pierced the guests. The last person was ambiguous as they simply wore a mask with a lion and wore a red gender neutral suit and green gloves.

"Gladys, you really are like a bear." Albus spoke to him playfully and hearing that, Gladys sensed that she wanted to tease their partners. "I"m pretty great aren"t I? I"m at the top of the food chain like you."

Her fuschia eyes shined as he went along with her. "Not to mention you have a good reputation unlike foxes. Sigh." Gladys continued admiring Bea"s growing anger. "Well, snakes are much more interesting than meek little kittens. They"re much more decisive as well." Furvus" turquoise eyes had cooled considerably as he pulled Albus" arm out of his. He knew what she was doing, and he knew just how to punish her.

When he saw how she was shocked and panicked slightly, he turned to her and removed their masks. Gladys sighed and cast a shadow barrier over their faces. Furvus" eyes were smoldering as he whispered into her lips. "Wanting to play around this early hmmm? I"m a fox for a reason you know?" Not wanting to lose, she hissed back, "Who said anything about playing? I"m just stating the facts!"

Enjoying her squinting eyes, he covered her lips with his own. Just as she started to respond back, he pulled his lips back and kissed her cheek. "I win."

Frustrated, she pulled out a booklet and put down a tally. "Just wait until the guests are gone. I"ll bring you to the lake for a day out."

"You better!" Gladys chuckled as he saw the couple whom he saw as his younger siblings. But when he felt his arm being detached from a certain cat"s waist as well as her nails digging into said arm, he gulped.

"So I"m fickle? My dear Gladys, since when? Why was I not made aware?" Bea"s brown eyes were as sharp as her voice was cheery. He began sweating slightly as he began ruminating how to soothe his little cat. "Little Bea, you know we were joking."

"Are you implying that I"m being unreasonable?" Gladys wanted to punch himself while the other two looked at him in pity. The one who"s the scariest when angry wasn"t Gladys, although he could be ruthless. When Bea got angry, if she wasn"t appeased, the entire house would suffer. The only exception was Lady Chao as she would always be gentle to her.

"Love, you"re killing me. What can I do to get you to forgive this lowly bear." Bea giggled slightly when he said this which sent chills down everyone"s spine. The guests began asking the maids if the cooler was on to which they could only weep on the inside and say they would turn the heat up slightly. "If you say so. Since cats enjoy comfortable perches and seats, you"ll have to be my seat until they come in."


Gladys was relieved while also being conflicted at the same time. It would be at least another hour before they finally came out to greet their guests. But, Bea would terrorize everyone there indiscriminately if they even breathe incorrectly. "Alright."

Luckily Gladys knew Bea"s weakness. So the five finally arrived at the table labelled Claws. Gladys had been silently communicating with Marianna to figure out how to calm Bea down. The verdict? Have her sit on his lap, ma.s.sage her, and serve her fruit, like an obedient husband. Once again, the guests were dumbfounded as three of them played [email protected] Tr0uble. The guests only saw a mysterious black plate displaying some colorful shapes and strange effects. During the one and a half hours that they sat there, Ignis was taught how to play G^n and G-5witch.

At the end of the one and a half hours, it was 5 minutes to dinner time. The lights dimmed and three people stepped into a single spotlight.

A man wore a pinstripe suit that alternated between purple and yellow with a black background and wing tip shoes. He covered his eyes with a reflective eye mask that also covered his eyebrows.

One of the women wore a purple asymmetrical dress, black bondage boots with yellow buckles and a mask that covered the lower half of her face. Her mask was chaotic as the colors were streaked messes across the entire thing. Oddly though, there was an order to the chaos making it look chic instead of childish.

The other woman wore a yellow maxi dress with matching stilettos that had purple flowers. Unlike the other two, her entire face was covered with a purple veil attached to a black wide brimmed sun hat. The contrasts and similarities between the three were unsettling.

The guests had been quite frightened at this point, so when they saw all the maids, butlers, and two other groups bow and curtsey, they wanted to get the introductions out of the way.

Chao smirked as she sensed the hesitation and malicious intent mingling in the air of her guests. Opening her mouth, she spoke. "Good evening my guests!" As she spoke, she scared them by activating the decor so it turned into a scene reminiscent of a b.l.o.o.d.y battlefield. "My name is Chao. I am one of the new rulers of this region. The two lovely individuals by my side are the other rulers I"ve invited to Lord over this territory with myself. Nice to meet my compet.i.tors."

She stepped to the side and allowed Serenus to speak next. "Greetings to our weary guests!" This time, when she spoke, the room became a peaceful meadow. "My name is Serenus second ruler of this region. I hope to get along with our new neighbors." When the men heard the last part, they started imagining many things that weren"t family-friendly. Comparing the two women, they pictured "fun times."

Knowing what they were all thinking, Neutrum didn"t even begin speaking before the room turned into an empty black hole. "Can our servants please turn down the heat? There are animals in heat." Hearing that dangerously flat and magnetic voice, the men began fuming whole the women began lamenting and scheming their escape from their lives. The man was loyal to his women and all three were eyecandy!

He continued when he got everyone"s attention. "My name is Nuetrum. I am the third ruler of this country. This ball is to introduce each other so,"

"Don"t even think of scheming anything dangerous to our little home!" continued Chao. "If we"re on good terms, then make sure to keep it that way. I"ll be ruling over the military as well as citizenship."

Serenus spoke next, "I will be in charge of foreign relations and the economy."

"I will be in charge of public works, the law, and enforcement." Mentioned Neutrum. "As you have all noticed we have specialized groups here. They will be in charge of anything else having to do with the country as well as possible a.s.sa.s.sination missions if necessary."

Chao giggled and urged her guests who were either struck with admiration, fear, or anger. "Please eat as much as you"d like. You may leave after mingling with us as well. If you find us to your fancy or you"re concerned, you may stay the night here to discuss any matters further."

So with such an eccentric introduction, the ball officially began with music playing, games played, and various dealings.
