Chapter 94: Unless Fate Has Other Plans

"Sure. Lead the way," Asher said with a casual smile while the rest watched with green faces. Darren didn't know whether he should leave or not but seeing the hint from Asher, it seemed like he didn't need him to stay necessarily.

As he walked past Oberon and Edmund, he felt their gazes of contempt, but as usual, he paid no mind to them.

He found himself being led upwards through dimly lit corridors. Finally, he stepped foot on the 3rd floor, where it was relatively quiet, peaceful, and silent. He can't hear the bustling sound of men enjoying from downstairs. It was as if he had entered a different building, and the ambiance felt more soothing yet sensual.

He entered a small hallway, dimly lit by a faint golden light, and the walls adorned with luxurious tapestries depicting scenes of romantic trysts between succubi and men. The floor was made of warm, polished marble, and the air was heavy with the scent of incense and something fragrant as well.

The succubi led Asher to a large wooden door at the end of the hallway, though he raised one of his brows upon catching a glimpse of a man standing guard outside.

Upon closer look, it seemed like he was of Vulpini race or, as Asher would put it, a fox man. The Vulpin race was mainly known for their beautiful women, known as Vulpinari, though the males, known as Vulpini, were not to be underestimated. They could be equally seductive for women, and some of the powerful women even used them as playthings.

However, the fox man he was looking at seemed to be far from a plaything. He had a tall and lean muscular build, with a sleek and agile frame. His features were sharp and angular, and he had a large bushy silver tail. His ears were pointed and perked up, making it seem like he was quite vigilant and watchful.

His eyes were piercing gold, and he had long silver hair that was tied back in a tight ponytail while wearing black leather armor that accentuated the powerful lines of his body.

As Asher came near him, his expression was stoic and unreadable. He nods curtly at the succubi that accompanied Asher, indicating that they may leave and leave this man with him.

The moment they left, Asher felt this fox man's gaze remain fixed on him as if assessing him for any sign of danger or deceit.

He said with a subtle furrow of his brows, "I am Shochi, Protector of Madam Kira. You are here at her grace, any harm or disrespect towards her, and you'll have to answer to me," He warned with a cutting gaze.

Asher could sense a hint of possessiveness in his eyes, making him chuckle and say, "Buddy, relax. I am not here to eat her up unless fate has other plans."

"You!" Shochi knew the double meaning in the words of this crude filth and was about to say something when, "Shochi...let Sir Lagoo in," A melodic voice came from inside, making Shochi's expression become taut and stepped to the side while wondering how come his Madam has to entertain such a low-class man.

Just one word from her, and he would have him thrown into a ditch after cutting his crude tongue out.

Asher gave a wink at Shochi before entering the chamber, making him take a cold, deep breath as he closed the door behind him with a sharp glint in his eyes.

The moment Asher entered Kira's chamber, he raised his brows subtly upon being enveloped by a sweet and heady aroma mixed with a crisp and refreshing scent of something akin to jasmine and mint. This created a warm and inviting atmosphere.

He also saw how lavish the space inside was, with a large four-poster bed as the centerpiece, covered in silken sheets and pillows of various sizes. Based on how things looked, it did seem like she slept in this place only.

The floor was covered in plush carpets and a fireplace crackled in the corner, casting a warm glow over the room. There were several small tables scattered throughout the room, holding various trinkets and objects of art.

A large window on one wall overlooked the town below, and a balcony could be accessed through the window, offering a beautiful view of the night sky.

However, his eyes became distracted when he saw a captivating golden-haired beauty coming out from within the curtains on the side, "Welcome, Sir Lagoo. I hope my humble adobe wouldn't be of bad taste to you," She greeted as her luscious pink lips arched into a smile, her voice soft and melodic as always.

Asher saw her fluffy golden tails dance in the air as her dreamy emerald green eyes looked at him. She even changed her garments to that a very seductive dark red garment that showed off her succulent thighs and smooth calves while firmly clinging to her curves and navel. But what stood out the most was her milky knockers that seemed like they might slip out of her dress at any moment. She surely knew how to dress in a way that would make even a eunuch feel hot down there.

She wasn't wearing her veil, making her captivating beauty become even more enrapturing.

"As I said before...I am a simple man. I am sure your tastes would suit me really well," Asher said with a subtle curve of his lips, making Kira softly nod with an alluring smile, "Ora~, I am glad you feel so. Come, please make yourself comfortable on the mat I specially prepared for you," She gestured to him towards a soft mat surrounded with cushiony dark golden pillows with a graceful movement of her arm.

Asher nodded as he sat down on the mat, making him feel like he was sinking into a bed of roses. Surely this woman knew how to prepare the perfect mat to relax a man.

He saw her preparing a drink for him when she asked, "May I ask where Sir Lagoo is coming from? I am surprised since I haven't seen someone who can artfully break down my poem like you. It makes me wonder if Sir Lagoo is seeing me for the first time."

Asher squinted his eyes before answering with a chuckle, "Of course not. How could a man like me possibly be able to enter this town without a powerful master? Today I happened to get lucky that my master decided to let me accompany him here. Otherwise, I usually spend my time back in the lower towns. I hope my origins didn't offend Madam Kira," Asher said in a flattery tone while closely observing his surroundings and her.

"As a maiden of music and a lover of nature, I don't judge a person based on their origins. I judge them based on their experiences and wisdom, and I must say Sir Lagoo's wisdom makes me admire you. Not everyone can be as well versed as you with the same origins," Kira said in a tone of pure admiration as she poured some drink into a small glass and turned around to walk towards him.

Asher smiled as she placed the small glace before him and sat right in front of him with only a small table between them.

The moment she sat down near him, he could smell the sweet and alluring scent coming off her body...a mixture of wildflowers and a hint of vanilla. It was both feminine and captivating, making him feel a pull towards her and drawing his eyes towards her seductive features, especially her soft, big round breasts that were partially revealed by her off-shoulder silk red gown.

He was slightly surprised by how such big melons were defying gravity when usually the ones he had seen with such big breasts sag a lot or would have used implants while hers were natural and perky. He had no doubt she could smother someone with such big breasts, especially since it was a tad bigger than Merina's.

"Please...have this drink, Sir Lagoo. I made it with special care, hoping you would relish it," Kira picked up the glass and leaned closer to him as she offered him the glass, her eyes looking as if she was yearning to see him enjoy the drink she had prepared.
