Chapter 103: HSK
The guards eventually brought Elian and Bianca into an opulent meeting room. The atmosphere screamed top 1% from the gilded trim to the red silk draped across every surface. It radiated prestige and beauty, yet Elian squirmed inside.
How much does all of this cost? What if I break something?
Bianca chuckled as she pulled Elian toward one of the couches. She pushed him to sit on it. Immediately, a soft creak echoed. Terrified of having to pay for damages, Elian moved.
A thin lattice of Living Metal webbed through the couch legs, quietly reinforcing the frame as he sank down.
"You are no fun, feel free to break everything, Elian. Don’t worry about the costs. I do not think you understand how much money I have," the witch teased.
Elian smiled wryly. He had no worries with turning dungeons into dust, but somehow, being careful with furniture was something ingrained in his being.
The wolves and Burny all made themselves comfortable and lay on the soft carpet. Fluffy stayed by the door, and Silent kept within reach of Bianca. Burny took the highest point while Bastion lay in the center of the room.
Hmm. Interesting.
The three wolves all had different inclinations. It showed just from which spots they chose. Some favored defense, while others prioritized vision. A warm weight settled into his lap. Without warning, Bianca sank into his lap, resting her back against his chest.
It was incredibly soft and warm. The figure rested her back against his chest and took his hand into hers. "Darling, if you don’t pay attention to me, I’m going to get angry."
Stunned by her relentless advances, Elian gulped in nervousness. Despite the few times he went on the offensive, he knew little about the matters between man and woman. Unsure how to react, he decided to try to calm her instead.
