Pov:Gwendolyn Zara Shawcross
Gwendolyn was sitting alone inside her carriage as it was being pulled by two very strong horses every so often a bump on the road would cause the carriage to shake but Gwendolyn was unperturbed by this as her full attention was on the paper in her hand.
"Sorrow Demon Saliva, really? " Rereading it and seeing it says the same thing again and again left Gwendolyn feeling numb
"Damn it, I should have not agreed to go with this stupid plan there were so many better options"
'Sigh'
"How will I get a 9th circle or S-rank monster's saliva"
'You will figure it out Zara you always do, Yeah, you are the smartest person you know, you will definitely figure it out'
Gwendolyn focused on the paper again and read the next ingredient
"Ma-nEat-er Roo-ts"
"Damn it again"
'I'm unsure what is more torturous getting an A-rank herb or reading her chicken scratch-like writing'
Gwendolyn quickly skimmed through the list as she chose to tackle the easy ingredients first
'A-rank '
'A-Rank '
'B-Rank '
'A-rank '
.....
'C-Rank'
Finally let's see 'Willow Mountain Flower, C Rank'
'Great this one first then I will work my way from there'
With her plans decided she gave her orders to her driver to start making their way towards the Ragur Mountain Range
With everything settled Gwendolyn finally had enough time to think about her meeting with 'Pope Paker '
'First impression she is willful and intelligent with her planning but she often chooses the option that hurts her enemies the most, In that option she finds more fun in, it would seem, she chooses a harder hurtful method rather than the easiest method hence she probably has Sadistic tendencies 'that was all Gwendolyn was able to figure out about 'Pope Paker' during the short time they spend together.
Even though Gwendolyn was not completely on board with this plan she was still able to recognise its advantages and what she would get out of it, as well as knowing what Pope Paker wanted to achieve by doing this.
'Father will be so mad, its no secret that he hates same-sex relationships but I guess that's another reason why that sadist is doing this'
'Sigh' With a sigh Gwendolyn resigned to her faith, she knew full well that she would probably accept her offer, as even if she managed to get the seat on her own, it would still not be secure only by marrying someone adored by the people will her rule solidify.
At first, Gwendolyn was planning on marrying the second born of Baron Slalin as he is adored by the people but she guessed this would work too as Pope Paker has the same standing with the people as the second born of Baron Slalin but Marrying Paker will also have the added effect of angering her father and probably her brother too but it might make the situation more difficult with other nobles.
'Hmm Decisions, Decisions, Decisions '
'What to choose? And what to do? '
'What gives me the most benefits?'
Gwendolyn spent the rest of the ride contemplating those questions hoping that an answer would just jump out to her but it never happened.
Pov:May Parker or Mayham Paker
May was making her way through the forest she was walking towards the kobold's cave.
May felt slightly anxious as she completely ignored the kobolds after she started expanding her church, but it was not her fault she swears she was just busy.[Yea busy getting the milk]
Once May got into the clearing where the kobold cave was she was able to see that the number of houses had increased, the 3 houses they stole were still present but around them were a lot of unpolished log houses.
'Looks like the kobolds were not idle '
[It would seem so]
'Do you think they will recognise me ?'
[Kobolds are known for their sense of smell and hearing so they might forget your face but will never forget your smell]
'Let's put that to the test shall we '
[...]
May made her way towards the kobold settlement but as she stepped into the clearing a bell sound came from the settlement.
May watched on as Armored kobolds began poring out of the houses, weapons in one hand and a shield in the other.
'They have grown, think we can use them against the paladins ?'
[Still negative and as we speak the paladins force is growing larger by the day]
'Sigh'
The small army of kobolds was making their way towards May, with their weapons drawn, it was plain to see that they came for a fight but May had no desire to kill her subordinates due to their idiocy so May chose to end this quickly.
"DRAG GET YOUR A*S OUT HERE " with her voice reinforced by mana her shout was heard all through the field
May's shout caused the small kobold army to stop in their tracks for a moment but the next they continued marching towards May
"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSSSSS" A roar so powerful it sends shock waves throughout the field.
And with that roar, May turned towards the cave entrance to see the same Golden Kobold she was familiar with, he still had the same derpy face with the same derpy expression he was running toward May with the biggest smile May had ever seen, during her travels May really miss having him around as there was never a dull moment with Drag there.
