My Servant System

Chapter 1065: Chapter 1064: Leaving the Arena



To make it more interesting, I maintained a distance between us as I just casually walked through the Yanzif Arena lobby, the small crowd of people giving me cover to blend in as I practiced my sneaking abilities for the first time in... a very long time, if I am remembering correctly, anyways.

There was little reason to be sneaky anymore, but I retained the knowledge on how to do the things needed to be sneaky - like controlling my emotions, masking my expression, treading lightly and blending in wherever I could - and made use of it right now to hide from my lovers, who were still looking for me.

Since it was a game - and I had the very easy ability to either tug on the bond between Jahi and I or release more of my pheromones for Anput to catch a whiff of - none of us were using the things that made it super easy to figure out where I was, though Jahi couldn't help it since my soul was hers, and therefore she was used to feeling me.

So she knew I was still nearby, hence why the Demoness suddenly stopped at the entrance and turned around, forcing me to turn as well as I gently tapped a woman's shoulder and asked "Excuse me miss, could I ask you a question?"

The Caninekin nodded and waited, her dazzling blue eyes and smooth tanned skin complimenting her dark blue dress that showed off her toned stomach and perky breasts, though the real eye catcher was the large blue pearl that hung off of pretty golden chain.

"Where did you get that necklace? It's beautiful; though maybe that's just because it compliments your eyes so well..."

Her lips curled up slightly as she giggled at that, the Caninekin reaching up and lifting the pearl slightly as she showed it off to me, her smile matching the necklaces' beauty as she said "Oh, this gorgeous thing? Apparently it's a pearl from the coastline north of here, from a monster called Bacca Basilisk? I don't know, but my wonderful-wife- got it for me for our ten year anniversary~!"

The emphasis on her partner made me giggle too as I nodded, saying "Sorry if that came off so strong, but I just can't help myself sometimes, y'know~? I just see someone as beautiful as yourself and I feel a need to compliment them..."

We shared a smile together at that, and she nodded back and said "Oh honey, trust me, I know the difference~! I've had more than my fair share of idiots today already, so I can tell the difference between genuine admiration and wanting to see what's beneath my dress. Though I must admit..."

Looking me up and down, she winked before patting my shoulder as she whispered "If I didn't love my wife to bits - and we were willing to be open to a partner - I'd offer to take you for the ride of your life~! But I do indeed love my wife far too damn much, so... sorry notn/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

sorry~! Have a nice day though, honey~!"

Watching her leave was certainly... interesting, and I had to nod to myself as I realized that I definitely still had it with random people before reminding myself that I didn't need to still have it with random people, not when I scored myself three absolutely perfect partners.

Though with her walking away I was now left alone again, but making a sudden move would be obvious, so I needed to-

"Were you in the Royal Suite?"

A deep, rough voice filled my ears, and I turned towards its owner and raised a brow as I found myself face to face with Batu, the Wekalian man staring down at me with a narrowed gaze as he ignored the whispering around us.

"You are not who I want talking to me right now."

I couldn't help myself as I shook my head and let out a low sigh, my hearing picking up the obvious movements of my partners as they approached me from the entrance, something that Batu picked up as well, causing the muscular man to frown as he asked "Was I wrong..?"

"No, you weren't; we were playing a game right now, and you crashed it... whatever. What do you want?"

Sending a quick burst to Jahi to let her know I was alright, the Demoness slowed her pace somewhat and eased her expression as she cut through the crowd to reach me, while Anput and Leone maintained their pace as they stared at Batu with neutral gazes.

Batu looked between the three of us before taking a slight step back as he saw Jahi approaching, the towering Demoness making Batu appear smaller than he actually was as she stared down at him, not so subtly flexing her arms as she crossed them, standing behind us like a guardian as she waited for him to answer the question.

With the four of us standing before him, he pursed his lips and looked between Anput and I, eventually taking his gaze a little lower as he stared at our chests for a moment, causing Anput to bare her fangs slightly while Leone smiled sweetly at the man, both of them exuding a rather frightening aura that made me feel a bit proud.

"Begum, I wished to inquire about joining the-"

"Uh-uh, nope. Trying to make a feat of strength here at the Arena is nice and all, but I don't handle anything like that, nor do I particularly want to give a damn about it right now when I'm out with my wives. Just like everyone else, you can make your way on up to the palace and apply to be a guard, do your time and get promotions. Maybe if you're impressive enough you'll get fast tracked into something more your style. Don't know, don't really care; what I can say is don't ever look at my girl like that, yeah?"

Batu just blinked at that, but I ignored him as I tilted my head and asked "Did something happen to make you so irate, Anput? I only took a paltry amount of Gold from you, so... it can't be that..."

Playing dumb with her on this subject was extremely amusing, since I knew she wasn't really that pissed that he had stared at my chest like that, but instead she was pissed because that was how Batu had managed to figure out who was who by using the size of our chest.

If he had done his research - which he clearly did - he knew that the entire 'Royal Family' was slim and petite, and I was... very much not petite, something that Anput was very quick to remind me she was proud to lose herself in - like she was earlier when she asked me to use her like a seat - but something that she still had as a sore point considering Leone, Jahi and I were endowed in areas she wasn't.

The Wekalian man seemed to be stunned by Anput's outburst, but when she turned to glare and growl at me he blinked a few more times when she snapped her head back to him and said "Don't think you can skip work here in the Sultanate; maybe you can grease a few hands and say a few good things over in the Steppes to get a good position, but here you earn it with blood and maintain it with strength. Any other way and you'll be laughed at and ridiculed. So work for it damnit! C'mon Kat!"

Grabbing my wrist, Anput spun around and dragged me back towards the entrance, our Demoness and Vampire following behind us without a word as we emerged back out into the sun, much to my chagrin as I idly activated a Wind Cloak and contemplated dousing myself in some icy water too...

"Isn't that a little... rich coming from you, Anput? I mean... you were born into a family like

that, so..."

Guiding us over to a outside cafe, Anput plopped down and waved down one of the waitresses, placing an order quickly before raising a brow at Jahi as she asked "You really don't know much about the Sultanate itself, do you? Can't blame you since it's different than the Empire, but still..."

She glanced over at the arena entrance and rolled her eyes as she used them to distract me, the Jackalkin swiping the purses from my hands and tossing them to their respective owners before saying "When I was beginning to grow, I had to prove myself to my Mom; make sure I was worthy of being the Begum, prove to my peers that they WERE going to submit to me in the future. So... I fought all my peers, at least the ones that wanted to fight. Nothing crazy, but whenever someone visited the palace I usually sparred them and showed them that I was stronger, so... no, that isn't rich coming from me because I earned my spot of royalty through luck, yes, but also maintaining my spot here as a Begum. Either way, it just ticked me off that he thought I could get him a spot like that just because he fought well in an

arena..."

Clicking her tongue, the Jackalkin continued to stare at the arena before turning back to me and sighing as she asked "Now why did you have to be so playful and run like that Kat~? Now I really want to chase you down, y'know-?", my mate settling back into her flirtatious self as she reached over and stroked my forearm, glossing over how we had watched, bet, and profited off of that man only to ignore him when he asked for a job.
