Three Borders. This is a rather famous name for the three borders, which are located in the neighborhood of Elfheim. These countries have great influence and are like executioners, forcing the border towns into fear.
Avalonia, Silvana, Feyriandia.
With the exception, of course, of Feyriandia, the land of the fairies. They are allies of Elfheim and represent important support for all elves who are now in confrontation with humans.
Adam sighed and watched as Ronald's expression twisted slightly, in a way that could no longer be concealed. Of course, the lands at the Three Borders were very expensive and important in terms of defense, but they were also important in terms of trade.
There were already plans to build several fortress cities, through which Ronald could increase his influence and gain the favor of the queen, thereby gaining more power in his hands.
With the onset of war, however, Ronald's territories were hit hard and suddenly the once expensive and luxurious cities were reduced to desolate ruins, and the shocking profits suddenly became shocking losses.
More than a hundred platinum Dragonstones were spent just to recover the inhabitants from the hostages and then kill the captors, thereby avenging the victims. All of this took a heavy toll on Ronald.
Now, however, Adam was offering him 1,000 platinum DS, which could cover his spending and even end up being a prop with which Ronald could rebuild cities and even make them more luxurious.
But the consequences would be the loss of frontier lands, which play an important strategic role and could bring many imported goods, which he could sell to the nobles for a high price. And given Elfheim's rare goods, Ronald could get thousands of platinum DS for the export of goods alone!
The struggle between lust for money and cold calculations made Ronald squirm with an oncoming headache, but every time he wanted to ask Adam for a change of demand, he was suddenly reminded of the horrifying numbers that hit his pocketbook.
And looked into Rosa's eyes, who was a truly kind woman who cared about the poor people of the Duchy of Erivia, Ronald could only clench his teeth and sigh heavily. His eyes lit up slightly, and he looked at Adam.
"All right, I agree!"
Adam smiled softly and felt pleased. The form for the contract was provided by Ronald himself, who carried with him many important documents and templates. An hour later, Adam and Ronald shook hands.
As it was already deep into the night, Adam and Elara were forced to say goodbye to Ronald and Rosa. Their departure from the restaurant was full of joy and unusual emotion, and given Elara's eager gaze, Adam felt good.
The exchange rate was too cheap for him and he would be able to create a headquarters for himself in the form of a city and make it so luxurious that even the capital of Elfheim, Elyrin, could not compare.
Adam and Elara stealthily walked out of the underground bar and Adam smiled as he felt Elara's passionate gaze mingle with feelings of affection and... lust. Tonight's meeting cemented Adam and Ronald's friendship by making them business partners.
Because, thanks to Adam, Elara was able to gain friendship with the Duke, who was, in fact, the most powerful title after the elders and the queen, she felt happy and cheerful.
Under the cover of night and illuminated by the moonlight, Adam and Elara walked silently through the streets while they were each immersed in their thoughts and thinking about their next actions. It was clear that they were each thinking the same thing - seduction.
For Adam, the main goal is revenge, but for Elara, it is power. Elara longed for power. She yearned for elevation above the rest, for special privileges and complete control over her destiny. Her eyes sparkled with ambition and a thirst to rule, to be recognized and influential. Power became her goal and a powerful motivator, pushing her forward and giving her strength and determination.
Although their goals and motives seemed different, they were similar in their perseverance and willingness to go through any obstacle for the sake of their desires.

At Elara's house. Adam entered the house and looked around, seeing the lavish furnishings and jewels. His eyes narrowed slightly when he saw a portrait of Arannis standing proudly with a sword in his hand. The style of the portrait was very ancient and it was obvious that this portrait had been painted by a great artist.
"Come on in, Johnny. Make yourself at home." Elara smiled softly and let go of Adam's hand. "I need to change, and I'll be right back with you. Sit in the living room for now."
Adam smiled and nodded, walking over to the luxurious sofa and sitting down, waiting for Elara. His eyes closed and he was in his thoughts until suddenly he noticed something and the corners of his lips rose imperceptibly in a chuckle.
Twenty minutes later, Adam heard soft footsteps and the gentle, pleasant smell of flowers made him open his eyes when he saw Elara standing in front of him, smiling brightly. She was wearing a light white dress that was very thin and translucent. Adam could even see her red underwear.
Her beautiful and lush blonde hair was loose and loose on her back, her bright green eyes sparkled like stars, and the soft smile on her pink lips had great charm.
Elara's overall aura increased by leaps and bounds, and Adam could see that from the "spiky rose" style to the "delicate lily". She looked like a caring wife who missed her husband.
Adam smiled softly and suddenly stood up. His hands rested on Elara's waist and he pulled her against him, feeling her warmth. He ran his hands gently through her loose hair and gazed into her green eyes without saying anything.
Elara laid her head on his chest and caressed his back, immersed in her thoughts. She enjoyed this moment and felt safe and warm.
"You do look beautiful in that dress, Elara." Adam smiled and lifted Elara's chin, then looked into her beautiful green eyes.
Soon Adam's head began to lower and the distance between their lips shrank with every second until their lips joined in a kiss. Feeling the taste of his kiss and the tight grip around her waist and on her buttocks, Elara blushed and felt shivers all over her body.
Her eyes clouded over and she closed them, enjoying that tender kiss that lasted only one minute, but to her, it felt like an eternity. Meanwhile, Adam heard sounds that sounded like glass breaking somewhere.
He opened his eyes and saw the three layers of barriers around Elara's head suddenly begin to crack one by one until they shattered with a loud sound. The broken barriers turned into glowing spheres that swirled around each other and began to merge into one single ball, which, once formed, immediately flew toward Adam.
The glowing ball swirled around Adam and then entered his forehead, and Adam felt warmth all over his body. He closed his eyes and suddenly felt a strong arousal and the usual kiss turned into a deep kiss and then a French kiss.
When Elara opened her soft lips, her heart beat faster, filling her existence with incredible energy. She felt every touch of Adam's tongue plunge heatedly into her mouth. This kiss was sincere, full of passion and desire.
The flames of the kiss spread throughout her body, making her tremble with pleasure. She was fully immersed in the moment, merging with Adam in a fervent embrace. Feeling his arms gently around her waist, she felt boundless tenderness and care.
Her tongue played with Adam's, creating a dance of art and passion. They enjoyed the moment, immersing themselves in their emotions, leaving everything else behind. There was something special about that kiss, something that penetrated the very depths of their souls.
Elara felt their powers merge, creating a powerful connection that stirred her essence. Every breath, every touch, was saturated with a longing for love and understanding. She was lost in him, allowing herself to be vulnerable and open.
At that moment she realized that she couldn't go back. Her heart belonged to Adam, and she was ready to follow him everywhere.
