Chapter 214: Land Of Wind

Brie did so without hesitation while asking, "What are you planning to do?"
"Remove your lab coat and garments beneath it," he commanded.
There was no hesitation; Brie complied immediately, peeling away her lab coat and the garments beneath it without a shred of embarrassment.
Arthur placed a palm against her bare back and marked her with a flying raijin mark. It didn't matter to him if she knew what this meant or not because at the end of the day, her fate was sealed. Meaning, no matter what she did, no matter where she was, he would always know.
After placing her clothes back on, Arthur stepped away. Koko's inquisitive voice could still be heard while he was moving.
"But... but... Why didn't you kill her, daddy?" she asked, bouncing on her tiny legs, arms crossed as she displayed the childlike defiance of the situation.
Brie shot Koko a sidelong glance. There was a smile on the woman's face that showed an unsettling mixture of satisfaction.
"Because I think I'm his favorite now!" she teased, relishing the unexpected connection she now held with Arthur.
"Hey!" Koko shrieked back, indignant. "I'm the only favorite girl in daddy's life!"
She then gestured wildly, tail flicking in agitation. Brie crouched down to Koko's level, her fingers interlacing affectionately.
