The King Visits.

The Twins waved goodbye to the Pontiff before Avery turned and glared at Auryn.

She was smiling before she leaned in and pat her brother on the chest. They had planned for her to run out and say they both did it. Though for some reason, her female intuition, which Avery didn't understand very well, ended up leaving Avery to the guards a few hours later.

It was already the weekend, so he wasn't surprised the King didn't wait.

There were trees on every floor of the tower, however, he'd never been to the east wing. The palace was made like it was written in cursive out of bricks. There were only ten floors to cross to the east wing and it was called the royal palace lobby. Hence, he arrived here as his sister rooted him on while she practiced the formulations of [hawk sight of Alderon].

"So... you can't tell anyone about this pipsqueak, or we're going to have to ax you..." The guards shoved him forward over towards a woman in a black dress and a sharp smile. She leaned down and withdrew a sword.

Turning the sword on his shoulder, she said a few words before the King appeared behind him like a breeze in the wind.

"Ah! Avery... you accidentally just completed the Hazing Ritual of the Lucea Tenebris. Welcome to your first day in the Tenebrous Sect. You are now an outer court disciple. Your manager will be this beautiful lady here, and you'll have five hours of responsibilities a week until you graduate. Welcome... to the family!"

Being in the Tenebrous Sect meant he couldn't reveal this information to anyone. Of course, his sister already knew, and she was already glad she trusted her intuition. Her brother got brought into a field where he was explained his five hours of work.

"You... you will be responsible for washing clothes," Tazzanna, his new boss, said as she took off her shirt and threw it at him. "M-My clothes I want to be washed in hot water, and... no sniffing my panties!"

Avery gawked as he found himself in a pile of underwear, and nice smelling armor. They set him down by a lake where this shampoo like stuff was applied.

He used to hate doing laundry when he was Alex, and he couldn't help notice his sister's laughter in the background in his head.

'System, any chance of purchasing a washing machine is possible?"

[Ding! No... Items must be of this world to be purchased. You still haven't activated location-based event, activate store.]

Avery kept washing the clothes as he picked up bra after bra of the elites in the Tenebrous sect. He also had to wash the panties, the armor, and the other clothing parts as he tried to resist his urge to scream at Auryn.

She would've been perfect for this job, and a second later a teenager walked up to him as she twirled a few dirty bras in the air.

"Ah... they smell good don't they..."

Auryn nodded his head and smiled before he pointed towards the clothes on her body.

"They almost smell as nice as your clothes do." He took her bras and sarcastically sniffed them causing her to laugh.

"Ha, kid... If you really want to smell something, take a whiff of my underwear."

She threw them at Auryn causing him to flail his arms in the water angrily. It took him four hours to finish the clothes for all the women for the week, and his hands were soggy like a side of pancakes.

If there was one thing he missed, it was the food from Earth. He complained in his head the entire day, and just now noticed Auryn was in the kitchen cooking.

He walked inside the house and walked up to the dinner table as he noticed a pleasant smell wafting through the room.

"Am... Am I back in Heaven," Auryn giggled as he smelled exactly what he was thinking about earlier.

Auryn smiled before she hopped over towards the table. "Our parents are out tonight brother, so I decided to make you a side of pancakes for saving me from the lingerie factory..."

Avery felt like the entire world was alright at this moment. With his calloused hands, he picked up his fork, and cut away his memories from the day.
