(Lillians pov)
I was now in some rural village on the other side of the continent East of my Kingdom to locate some ingredients, I'm also picking up any and every item I can to help us out in the time we have ahead of us.
I heard the owner in the shop talking about a farm that his friend owns, he sells familiars and alot of them are high grade level two and three.
" where is he located at" I asked while paying him for all the things I've bought, Mal motions a couple of her men to store the items in a couple spacial rings and also gives the man lists of ingredients they need him to order.
" go north a few miles outside of the village tell him that the black Smith sent you to him" he said as we exit the shop. We head toward the farm, I can't help to think of everything that has happened with Evelyn, Rickard and that damn agreement.
The only thing that brings a smile to my face is the letters that Una and I have been sending one another, except for the last one she has sent.
I guess she met Evelyn and brought up the agreement to marriage, but after the last letter we won't be able to write another one until were ready to make a move against everyone who is behind hurting uncle Rickard.
I was with uncle all the time and the other person was his advisor who tried to blame me if it wasn't for several truth seekers that tested me to see if I was guilty and I passed, Mal went to find the two who tried to take the test to make me look guilty and they were found dead before she could question them.
I just have to get ready for a war that is quickly coming, Maximus has 8 out of 12 of the council in his pocket he'll be crowned king in a week. I'm worried about the advisor knowing about the marriage agreement, I'll die in a war before I will go through with the marriage at this rate. I also know that there are ways to force me into it and that's my biggest worry right now.
" hey why are you spacing out " Mal asked as she pointed ahead toward the large farm that had large fenced in areas and cages out every where, I'm frustrated well the lust inside me is hungry and I haven't been with anyone since Evelyn so I'm growing weak.
" he has thousands and he takes very good care of them too" I said while looking around the farm and a tall older man walked up to us.
" yes the black Smith sent us to buy your familiars" I said as his wife walks up to us, she actually is a beast-kin a Niko I think they are called I'll have to look that up later.
" now if you cant provide a good home or able to treat them well and I do understand that they are used in fights, I'll just ask that they are living good since they'll protect you with their lives" the man said as his wife gives a smile while she leads us further into the farm, I couldn't help to steal glances at the Niko who did the same as we both would smile then look away.
" we do a oath with every customer even though I have a feeling you will treat them well" the Beast-kin said
I smile and nod my head yes and wag my tail, yes my tail seems to not want to go away.
" Mal buy everything from them and leave a communication jade with them so they can provide us with more." I said
I walk over to a large cage that holds One Alpha Male, Seven females and twelve pups and the cage next to them has every breed of dragon with all the elements as well. I look at the beautiful colors of gold, white, blue, red, green, black and brown. I see a bunch of babies between ever set and they our sets of male and female.
(' well at least your mate wants to be with you and yes maybe I'm acting like a brat)
I thought as Mal walks over to me pointing at two fenced in areas.
" this is actually a good find on High quality packs of level 3 war beasts, wolves, lizards and all of them have different elements" Mal said I nodded my head and smiled.
" make sure with the mates and alphas I want to wait on their contracts, also the chimeras and dragons are not to be touched by no one but me" I said and Mal made sure to convey orders by mouth and by a jade slip.
I hand her enough gold to use a transporter array for the items and familiars even though it costs alot. Mal leaves me with the owner and his wife I'm assuming, I pull out everything they asked even throwing in extra for future purchases. I also set of a concealment formation to talk to him about any beast-kin in this area, I've only seen about two to three dozen.
" I'm not suppose to reveal this to anyone outside my circle, but with your wife and the other--" I was saying as the woman laughs cutting me off and wraps her tail around my hand pulling me closer to her to whisper in my ear.
" he is my step father and I am single, my name is Rae by the way" Rae said while purring.
(' ahh just way to cute, I want to keep her')
" cough, well um what I was saying were leaving in a few days, before I tell you this you have to take an oath and also spread it to other races besides humans. I also need you to make them do an oath of not telling any authority and only tell to save the non human races from slavery and death." I said while the last part got both of their attention and both quickly said an oath.
" I was wondering why the human armies was traveling further west, I also thought the beast-kin they had were arrested for something they've done and the number of them that they had is what caught my attention" he said to me while looking at his daughter with sad eyes, he then pulls out a map with hundreds of Mark's of settlers and places where familiars are with ranks. I watched as he marked different spots showing the human soldiers camps and how many are roughly there.
" ok you need to have all the beast-kin or other non humans meet at this spot here I point on the map, prince Maximus will be crowned next week and with the human kingdoms mass slavery, rape and more than likely genocide will happen." I said while the man slowly nodded his head, then looks at his daughter and then back to me.
" I've trained her in everything I know about catching, hunting and taming beast she'll be a asset to you, her mother and siblings will be at this meeting spot with others as well.
If I have to tranquilize the lot I will do so, every non human here I've brought in and I will make sure they are there." he said while Rae started crying, I pull her into a hug and electric sparks erupt throughout my body and Rae began purring louder than before. We began staring in each other eyes not saying a word and we here her father clear his throat then smirks at his daughter when we both know we are Mate's.
" I was curious why you wanted to meet this customer when you saw her and now I know" her father said making Rae blush.
" I'll be staying at the inn inside the village, meet me later Rae if you'd like to talk more and both of you be careful" I said when I turned to leave I feel Raes tail wrap around my hand pulling me back into her embrace and she gently kisses me.
" oh one more thing I'll catch all the familiars I can, only thing that I'll need is money for the transportation array to send them" He said making me remember about the arrays I have to set up in different hidden locations, I'm sure giving him one will be beneficial in helping us and to help others he can save.
I give him a couple special rings, of things he'll need. "these hold healing herbs, money, other things that will help the survivors while being out in the wild and also a teleportation array." I said then we drop the concealment formation then I say goodbye, leaving the farm with a big smile and my tail wagging.
