We are drinking like there is no tomorrow, we saw people come and go to the party, those people who got drunk is either lay waste at the side or already go home but still, people are coming non stop, and everyone is a big spender, they either give Greed gift or an envelope that has only a paper with a numbers inside.
"What are those envelopes are?" I asked, Icy look and smirk. "It`s the number of the safe and the digit password, it`s either a gift of gold or could be anything, either way it`s a drag to give personally." Icy said and I nod, so rather than let the other see their gift, they put it on a safe for Greed to get.
"Anyway, the night is long, we have to party!" Icy said and I smirk and get another bottle and we bottoms up for who knows how many, The little pup is also joining the party, but not like us, what his targeting is not the wine but the foods on the table, his eating like there is no tomorrow.
"Lady Ice, there are few friends of mine that want to meet you." Greed said when we he got on our table and Icy look at him. "Deep pockets?" She asked and Greed nod and Icy smirk and look at me.
"There is a potential business for me, let me entertain them a little, are you alright just sitting here?" Icy asked and I nod, then she drag Greed to the crowd, I just smile and shook my head, this woman is also grabbing the opportunity to make more gold, how I wish she forget the one I steal from her, I look outside and saw the moon, and rather than staying here alone in our table, I get a wine glass and the wine and go at the veranda, The little pup get the plate of food and follow me outside.
"The wind breeze here are so refreshing." I said and the Little pup nod and put the plate, I look at the buzzling city that almost all the establishment are on business. "Night time is the life time here." I murmured and enjoy the scenery of the buzzling city and the cold breeze, I finally calm my mind.
"Master, there is a person there." The Little pup said and I look and smile. "It`s already night time, why is she training her sword? she should join the party." I said and lean on my hand, the little pup look and sneer.
"Unskillful." He commented and I chuckled. "If you compare her to the people in her town that is the right term, but sadly she don`t have those books, and don`t have the full knowledge like those people who always bet their life on the line in the Abyss." I said and the little pup just look at the lady slashing her sword again and again.
The little pup and I enjoying watching the woman slashing her sword when suddenly someone come to the veranda and it`s Icy smirking. "She talk! She smile! She make deal!" Icy said and I smirk when I hear those words.
"Deal close?" I asked and she nod and get another wine glass and pour her own. "Yup, many of my stones will be sold soon, and it`s a little bit higher than the price in the market." She said and I look at what me and the little pup are watching, when Icy found out that we are looking to something she look at it too and smirk.
"I wonder why they want to learn the way of the weapon? Magic is better than weapon after all." Icy said and I shook my head. "That`s your deduction, but there are magic that has a long casting, and a sword could slash you in a blink of an eye." I said and Icy simply shrug her shoulder.
Then for some reason I jumped down and walk near the woman, but of course I don`t let her feel my presence, I watch her closely and smile, truly a rookie move.
"You know your just swinging your sword right?" I said then suddenly she become vigilant and look for me, finally she spotted me and ready a stance. "Who are you." She said ready to attack, she got a beautiful silver blonde hair and a serious face, she`s also wearing a metal plate in her chest and a fitted knight cloth.
"I just wonder here, I don`t mean no harm, and even if I do, you`d be dead before you spotted me." I said and chuckle, then she charge at me and I dodge all the slashes and swing she give me. "Like I said a second ago, your just swinging your sword, it`s easy to dodge." I said, maybe it pissed her more off and she swings it more and like usual I dodge it like it was nothing, I am not even moving my feet, and like a real rookie she`s easy to get angry.
"First of all calm your emotion, don`t let the sword control your moves, you need to control it." I said and soon I got bored and catch the sword using my two finger and it shocked her, then I push it a little bit and she step back. "Anyway, little girl, you need to train harder." I said and walked back to the party and jump on the balcony again, and Icy and the Little pup look at me.
"You`ve just messed with her?" Icy said and I laugh and nod. "I got bored so I try to talk to her, but she charge at me." I said and she giggled and look at the woman.
"She`s Greed`s only daughter, Greed has many sons, but he only have one daughter, people call her Greed`s Knight Princess." Icy said and I nod and get my glass of wine, and for some reason that woman scream and jump at the balcony with great force she slash again but before I got hit I catch her sword again, and chuckled.
"What`s your problem?! What if you destroy this wine glass I am holding!" I said and look at her but this time I don`t release the sword she`s trying to take it back but it`s no use my grip is quite hard this time, then she suddenly let go of the sword and tried to punch me. "Are you stupid?! Your supposed to be a knight why would you let go of your weapon?" I said and throw the sword in the sky and dodge her punches then catch the sword`s handle and pointed the sword in her neck, then she stop attacking.
"Oh come on! your ruining great foods and wine." Icy said and the woman glare at her but when she recognize who is the one sitting in the chair she calmed down and smile, then Greed appear and what happen here, of course he feels it, this woman gives a thick killing intent.
"Mary! what are you doing to my dear guest?!" Greed asked but she just ignore her father and walked to Icy. "It`s been a while Sister Ice." She said and Icy laugh and nod. "It`s really been a while little girl, I can see your still training with your sword." Icy said and the woman nod.
"Don`t just ignore your father! What are you doing?!" Greed said and now the woman look at her. "We are just sparring." She said, hey! that`s a lie! you just suddenly attacked! But still... I am so proud of you little girl!
"A little calf, doesn`t know what fear means." Icy said then shook her head, and I smile. "Well she said we are sparring, so we are indeed sparring." I said and Greed can just nod helplessly.
"Don`t worry, this little girl can`t even make a dent to his skin." Icy said and I laugh, the little pup just sneer and continue eating. "I am really sorry about this little girl`s impudence, she`s a sheltered lady after all." Greed said and get wine of glass and pour his own.
"Anyway, the party is not yet finish, care to join us dear daughter?" He said and this little girl, Mary is it? just get the other glass and pour her own and drink it, then Icy pull another chair to her side and let the little girl sit there, I just look at the moon and smirk. I think I found a way to make those girl stopped fighting, although they just start their own gaze war last time, I know it`s not yet away from the actual woman`s war, and it`s irritating to stop them every time they crossed path when that happened!
