"M-mistress... I-I--"
"pftt..." Yu Yan held both her hand to her lips forcing back down the laughter she was holding in, Shock and confusion littered the mans face
"calm down, I'm not mad. this is actually a good thing for us! I thought it would be difficult to grab the mayor's attention but what do you know? the fish just jumped in the bucket without needing the rod!" she chuckled, she was enjoying this, finally something interesting and beneficial to her was gonna happen!
"what does mistress mean?" She stopped laughing and glared at the man "I mean, Yu Yan..."
"first sit down, we're in a carriage" she smiled warmly and stretched both her arms above her head and plopped them behind her head "What I meant is that, your stubbornness when we entered city gates was actually quite useful! it dragged the rat out of its den, I meant the mayor." she explained seeing the highly strong and handsome mans face that held confusion.
Bao Shīzi, she admit is highly alluring and frighteningly strong, but he was still after all isolated from society making him understandably slow.
"Why do you want to get that mayor's attention?"
"because of the force he holds ofcourse" she said casually "although Opolice is a horrible and small city, It has a strong force of soldiers that only the mayor holds, this city may look small but it has suppressed countless of countries trying to take over the city." she remembered in one of the books she read before she went on her journey about the citys, palaces and capitals, she remembered that it was also written what their military status has , and one of the strongest force is the one the Mayor of Opolice holds.
the military force called "SnakesBite" are the one the mayor has control over, it consists of not only normal soldiers but also past gangleaders and Strong Yí wèi' Masters from different guilds within the city.
If she could mobilize the army she would already be 10% done with her mission, Not to mention that if ever the mayor will do what she wants she can have him empty his treasury of rare herbs he has gathered throughout the year. thinks got easier. although for now she has no plans of action due to the fact she is still unaware of why they were 'asked' to visit the mayor even though they had not even stayed for a day and the fish already took a bite.
"Then, how should we go about this Yu Yan? do you want me to kill the mayor?"
"We'll have to wait" totally disregarding what he has just said, however bloodthirsty she might be or he might be, they must remain sensible... at times...
the carriage stopped infront of a huge manor, the gates had rows upon rows of soldiers staring blankly yet highly sturdy and alert.
"Please follow me." as soon as they got off the carriage, Nadios hurriedly spoke up gesturing to them to walk inside, his voice more polite than his earlier boomingly arrogant loud voice
he was eager to deliver them and leave to go calm his still frightened nerves. the man was to dangerous for him, he still got 7 concubines waiting for him...
Yu Yan and Bao Shīzi was escorted by Nadiis and 3 attendants in, walking just behind them escorting them to the receiving hall, before they even reach the main hall a loud booming laugh resounded
"haha! sure! my dear daughter can have whatever she wants on her wedding! i'll make sure everything will be up to my daughters standards! haha!"
"thank you father! you're the best! when will that bean bag pick my husband up? I need him to ask my hand immediately before anyone even think about taking him away from me!"
"father has already ordered Nadios to pick him up! he must be arriving in a few minutes"
the announcer who stood by the Main hall doors suddenly upon seeing the bulky man followed by an extra ordinary good looking man and a young small female in all white he immediately readied his rusty voice and announced : "Cheif Nadios has arrived!"
as soon as the people who was being escorted entered the main hall a loud gasp can be heard and upon the main hall, an old wrinkly man sat upon his high chair, beside him was a young beautiful girl with brownish skin, she looked shocked as she covered her mouth as soon as her gasp threatened to come out, She could not beleive that the man that took her breath away was now a few steps away from her! not only that! he was going to marry her! she would not need to worry about him refusing as whatever she wants she gets.
therefor she wasn't bothered about the young girl beside the man of her dreams.
no one can stand in her way...
no one...
the last person who tried...
was now a fertilizer in her garden...
she wouldn't mine adding one more...
