[27] Angry Pheona Scarlet.
"My lady?" Phanella Stipte called out with confusion and tried to probe further upon noticing her weird glance, "Is… something wrong?"
"Pane, what is today's date?" Pheona Scarlet swirled her head towards her and asked as she had a bad premonition.
"Um? Date?" Phanella Stipte fell into deep thought. Her cute face bent to one side and faced the sky at a sharp 45°.
Pheona Scarlet had thought of rubbing her head violently for some reason.
"… Ah!" Phanella Stipte's eyes brightened as she seemed to recall. Then, she exclaimed in horror when she recalled the date.
Pheona smiled wryly as she shook her head. Both of them stared at each other for a good one minute when the maid suddenly bent down with tears.
"Oh no! My lady! Punish me! It's all my fault! I forgot that today is the date when Auction Planet opens!"
While crying with an aggrieved voice, the young woman, Phanella Stipte got covered in tiny brown mushrooms even though she was in her human form; it was a sign that she was very depressed.
Pheona Scarlet didn't even care to glance at her and gently stepped on stairs made of rocks as she walked out from the water. Golden droplets fell by her naked-flushed skin and all of them flew towards the Golden Spring.
A petite beauty, without any blemish… even no cloth to cover the slender yet firm body…
A spring scenery beside a spring under the bright Deluna.
A scene to behold ~
Pheona Scarlet walked by Phanella Stipte indifferently who was in the kowtow position. With a single wave of her right hand, a spell was cast in the surroundings.
Then, she sat down on a nearby black rock and glanced at the two bottles. She thought no wonder that man would have the time to send something like gifts for her.
When her golden eyes flashed, one after another, the bottles flew towards Pheona's side.
A cold smile flashed on her flushed face which disappeared in a split second. Then, a small table appeared on her right side. Fancy wine glasses were on top of it.
Pheona took the Holy Crane Divine Potion and unhooked the lid. Then, she poured down the liquid into the wine glass.
Pheona Scarlet acted as if she was enjoying some great delicacy while taking small yet satisfying sips. But the iron and musky taste in her mouth always reminded her about the thing she was drinking, a bloody mushy heart's juice.
"My lady?" Phanella Stipte peeked at her and upon watching that her lady didn't have any intention to punish her, she became elated.
While Pheona Scarlet acted like she didn't see her sneaky movements, the maid turned into a mushroom and hopped toward Pheona's legs. Then she bypassed her and stood behind her lady.
Phanella Stipte became happy as she thought her lady didn't notice her. Without waiting for her instruction, she turned back into her human form and began to massage Pheona Scarlet's shoulder with enthusiasm.
The other person didn't stop her and closed her eyes which were turning red. At the same time, Phanella Stipte had the opportunity to witness the significant changes that were taking place in Pheona's body.
Flame-like tattoos appeared and covered Pheona Scarlet's flushed skin and the maid felt the fair skin was sweating a lot. Phanella Stipte glanced at Pheona Scarlet with complicated eyes.
Given that the lady was nonchalant and was admiring Deluna while drinking the potion that was made from the raw heart of the holy crane, Phanella Stipte felt uncomfortable all over.
"Lady, let me mix something in it!" Panella Stipte said anxiously. She took out several huge jars of… juices.
"No… need." Pheona Scarlet whispered and sent back the jars from where Phanella Stipte brought them by her spell.
The strong smell and tantalizing fragrance of the portion spread around to the surrounding area. At the same time, both of them heard the howling of the beasts.
Phanella Stipte felt the air getting heavier around her body and many wandering spirits got attracted by the addicting fragrance. Even she felt she was being drawn toward her lady.
But Pheona Scarlet didn't even care to lift her eyelids as her lips met the cold surface of the wine glass.
By that time, Pheona Scarlet's hair had grown so much until the beautiful Phanella got covered in her fiery red hair! Phanella was at a loss as to what to do and made cute little braids using her hair.
"Pane, this is for you." The lady lazily opened the other bottle and threw a white pill toward her. The other person clumsily tried to get it and when she got the pill, she showed a happy smile.
"Thanks a lot, my lady!" Phanella
couldn't help but thank the other person.
It's very rare to find Fire rhino, not to say it's very difficult and nearly impossible to refine pills out from it. Only the grandmaster pill refiners could do so and the amount to ask for a refiner to do so couldn't be imagined by Phanella Stipte's little brain.
Pheona Scarlet didn't acknowledge her thanks and closed her eyes. The potion had already showed its effects on her body. She felt the exhaustion and tiredness leaving her body, and her mind got a rare kind of relaxation. The weakness she felt after using her blood essence left as well.
With surprising eyes, Phanella Stipte saw as her lady who had been suffering from frequent insomnia and couldn't fall asleep, was currently on the verge of dozing off.
"My lady, are you… awake?" Phanella Stipte murmured, but no sound came from the front.
With gentle arms, she dragged Pheona Scarlet's shoulders towards her chest and hugged her from behind while she was in the kneeling position.
She made a hand motion and the pink bathrobe which was disregarded by the two people flew out and covered her lady's body.
"Good night, my lady." Phanella Stipte murmured with a gentle smile as she also closed her eyes.
After a long time had passed, Pheona Scarlet gently opened her golden eyes and stared at one of the boxes.
A golden tattoo was on it, and she always felt that tattoo was staring at her. Being a veteran war general who would usually kill the demon beasts to protect the general civilization from harm, her intuition was very strong from any other people.
Even though she knew, currently many other people were staring at her while being in various forms as they were mixed with nature, she didn't bother to expose them.
Pheona Scarlet made a hand motion and the black box with the golden dragon pattern flew towards her.
As soon as she clicked on the dragon's golden head, the golden line of the pattern on the black box became sparkling lights and rushed towards Pheona Scarlet.
She didn't reject it and closed her eyes calmly. The golden light sparks of lights concentrated in the middle of her head and in the next second a video played in Pheona's mind space.
Watching the declaration of Levin D'razure and the chaos that happened in the Auction Palace, Pheona Scarlet slowly opened her eyes.
By that time her golden eyes became dangerously red. She smiled mildly, putting on the elegant poster her father liked to see the most on her face.
"A thing that's up for sale and so desperate to get her? Did I ignore my fiancé so much that he is now chasing after a plaything from the Auction Planet?"
Pheona Scarlet said and could not help but glance ahead. She saw the maids who were secretly looking out for her so that nobody could disturb her resting time.
It was evident that someone wanted her to see the thing her future husband had done. Be it a friend or enemy, she didn't care.
With a flick of her fingers, Pheona Scarlet turned Phanella Stipte into her mushroom form. Under the bright light of the great Deluna, the mushroom was glowing red.
Pheona Scarlet didn't forget to take out another pill and crushed it. Then she dropped the powder on the mushroom's head and the thing shook gently and then slumped down.
Pheona Scarlet took away the mushroom in her pocket dimension and looked fierce. Her mild and elegant demeanor vanished in a split second and the indifferent cold shelf returned.
"You all! Find her for me before Lord Levin!" Pheona Scarlet gave a command. The silent atmosphere, which was more frightening than the eerie silence in the surroundings, had finally changed.
"Understood!"
Sharp sounds cut through the air and then two men with red fairy hair appeared in front of her in a kneeling position.
Both of them didn't dare to look up for fear that they would see something they shouldn't see.
Pheona Scarlet made a hand seal and an image of Kayra materialized in the air. Then the image cloned itself and the two pictures rushed straight into the two young men's foreheads.
After getting the picture, the two men vanished to carry out the order.
