Chapter 56 - Chapter 56 Side Story Matters of the Heart

May and Drag were hiding behind some bushes and drinking while looking at a small group of kobolds going on with their daily tasks

"That's her boss," Drag said while pointing at the group

"Which one ?" May asked uncertain what Kobold Drag was pointing at.

"That one"

"Still got no clue buddy"

"The one with the stubble in her fur"

"Ah the one with the bald spot got it "

"She's not bald it's just a stubble"

"Yea, yea, okay just go and talk to her man "

"No"

"Go"

"NO"

With May's endless pushing Drag finally relented and went towards the bald Female kobold who surprisingly turned out to be his crush and in a matter of moments they started talking.

And all May was able to say was that Drag was awkward as heck when he talked to any other women other than her, May was embarrassed to have a friend like him as even she knew you don't start the conversation by asking the woman about her bust size.

'Ugh he's a lost cause'

[Well you never know maybe it will work]

'....'

[Different cultures and all that]

'...'

[...]

[Yeah probably won't work]

While waiting for Drag to inevitably miss his shot, May took out another bottle of Mead and started drinking once again.

[You have gained a Status effect[Intoxicated]

Dismissing the screen she again focused on her drink.

[Are you sure about your plan?]

'I am"

[But there must be better options right ?]

'There might be but this is the best one out of them'

[But why? Sorry for questioning you but I don't understand why you have to marry someone you do not love for your plan to work can't you just trust her]

'I can't, I trusted her father and look where it got me, surrounded by enemies on all sides and most of them waiting for me to fall so they can devour me like hyenas they are'

[....]

'Sigh'

'Look We both need each other she needs my reputation to quite the masses and I need her tropes it is that easy, the reason I proposed marriage was because she is desperate and I needed the Shawcross Family name so I could rule it and when I have it we won't be able to betray one another after all if she betrays me I rebel and take the seat and if I betray her she flips the public against me, it's a win-win for both of us.'

[I think I understand]

'Amira you prove yet again that even though you have the most knowledge available at hand it still doesn't mean you are knowledgeable'

[Lisen here you little sh*t]

'Slap' May and Amira were broken out of their argument by a slap.

When May turned to see where the slap came from all she saw was the same Golden kobold she was familiar with sitting on the ground and drawing circles in the dirt.

May went over to Drag to offer words of encouragement.

"Don't worry you will get her next time"

[Even your encouragement is trash]

'Salty much '

"Boss"

Drag turned towards May with his tear-stricken face

"Am I a creep? "

May was taken aback by his question all she wanted to do was scream 'YES, YOU DO NOT ASK FOR THE GIRL's BUSTS AS A OPENING QUESTION' but she held her tongue instead she said

"No Drag but maybe sometimes you come out as a bit um much "

"Boss" With those words Drag started fully crying he did not wait for May to elaborate as he got up and ran away.

'And he's gone'

[Well you did break his heart]

'Clk' With a bitter taste in her mouth May clicked her tongue.

'Guess I will just have to play matchmaker'

[Like you know something about love]

'Like you are any better'

[Hmph]

With her determination to help Drag burning strongly, May went around the kobold camp asking if they knew any single female kobolds.

She got some weird looks but she ignored them and just focused on her task, which was mostly unsuccessful.

'Drag wasn't joking about the shortage of females'

[By my calculation the population is 20 males to 1 Female]

'Damn what a sausage fest'

May was ready to give up and just call it but then she heard two guards talking about something she thought was interesting.

"I heard you tried to get Shelby how did that go ?"

"Sigh"

"Same old Shelby, I took down my pants she saw my thing and laughed"

"Haha that's what you get for trying to wooe Shelby "

"Haha yea"

That signified the end of their conversation but May did not hear enough about this Shelby so she cancelled her Stealth and appeared behind the guards.

"Who's this Shelby?"

""Ah""

Both kobolds jumped out of their skin and in a matter of nanoseconds they quickly made distance and pointed their weapons at the source of the sound.

"So anyone going to answer or do I have to break you first"

With May's question, both started to panic but the more talkative one took the lead.

"No need Boss "

"What, no to the telling part or no to the breaking part" May cracked her knuckles in an attempt to seem intimating.

"I will talk Boss" Just then the other kobold interjected.

May turned to him and he started talking.

"Shelby is the only free woman left and she said she will marry the kobold with the biggest 'cough ' package 'cough ' but no one has managed to satisfy her"

"Hmm "

'Drag is pretty big right?'

[Really Using the all-knowing library of Earth to look up pen*s sizes]

'Not like that you perve I mean he is tall'

[So]

'So I have a plan, kakaka'

With that May went to find Shelby hoping to set her up with her best(only) friend.
