Chapter fourteen (10)

"First, let me introduce to you; these two are Xier and Linna. Xier is the leader of the hooded eyes and Linna is the chairwoman of Aston .co" she introduced the ladies in sharp red and the other in green. They were young and seemed in their mid-twenties. The older women were introduced as well; one of them looked to be only in her forties and the other in her seventies.

The oldest was introduced as Matriarch Lilac. Something about the matriarch seemed ancient, like a person who has lived a little too long. She was introduced as the Matriarch of the Lucen mountain nunnery. The other two were Lady Lusa and kylna. Lusa is the lady of the West valley reef, and Kylna is the head of devil armoury, also referred to as Mistress Kylna. The youngest was Vion, the next valley head of Lir.

Lucy had heard of every single one of them, they were what could be referred to as legendary. The hooded eyes were assassins based in the desert. They were never seen and only heard of. One did not know who led them, but Lucy had her ways.

Aston .co is the largest trade organization on This-side. They controlled export to Other-side and everything traded on This-side.

The Lucen mountain Nunnery was nothing suspicious, it was a sanctuary for women who have given themselves to the service of all mankind. They believed in selfless acts and were usually seen helping out when calamity strikes. If the empress dowager saying that their matriarch was a Thraine, confirmed Lucy's suspicions.

The Valley west reef was just one of the fortresses standing on the edge of Other-side. Only great powers sat that close to the edge of Other-side and the Valley west reef was one of them.

Devil armoury made the best weapons on This-side, some would say, even on Other-side, but no one really knew. They chose who they gave their weapons and when a price is stamped, it was non-negotiable.

Lir is a small country under the Khul empire, in the grand dowager empress' territory. No one really thinks much of this place, but Lucy knew better. Why would a Thraine just live there?

These women were very powerful people, but sitting here, they were only weary of Lucy. This character was a bit unpredictable. They came because this was a chance to gauge her for themselves and make opinions.
