Sure of the hypothesis

Allatu has a bad feeling, but says nothing and keeps it inside.

"So how did they find the hiding place where the princess was safe? It can't be a coincidence, Viola. Someone is cooperating with the enemy." Lanola tries to assert Asteri's intuition, trying to make her companions reflect.

"Even if you say so ... with this alone we cannot draw hasty conclusions. We must convene the other members and decide how to act." Piera was not yet convinced of what they said Asteri is Lanola.

"We can't afford the luxury of doing that, if we waste any more time the enemy will strike first, hoping he hasn't done it yet. The princess isn't safe as long as the spy is among us." Asteri's words prevent Piera from getting up from her chair. She looks at the boy in his eyes, trying to intimidate him and at the same time see if he was lying.

"I said we have to summon the other members and that's what we're going to do, I can't decide on a matter for the princess on my own. If you intend to waste my time, I ask you to get out of the way, the discussion it's close". Piera gets up from his chair, Asteri immediately realizes that the woman has a belt at her waist to which two leather holsters were attached, on both sides. And inside them, he sees two weapons, which remind Asteri of the French guns of Earth.

But not even the thighs that can be glimpsed from the slit of Piera's skirt escape. The latter when she was about to cross the door to go out, she is again stopped by Asteri.

"You will regret this choice, Leader. But anyway I will not back down just because my hypotheses have not been heard. I will stay in the city as long as there is a need." Asteri crosses his arms, closing his eyes.

"Do as you please, it's not my problem." After these words, the girl leaves the room.

After this event, the room remains silent, not hearing even the slightest noise.

"Sorry, Asteri, right? But I agree with Piera, we cannot base our actions or use the few resources we have at the moment, only for a hypothesis that does not have many foundations". Viola gets up from her chair. "Lanola, I'll go out first, I'll wait for you upstairs when you're done." Viola greets Lanola, she just takes a quick look at Asteri, the latter has done the same.

'Could it be ...' Betty noticed these looks of them, she immediately had an idea in her head.

"I'm also as disappointed as you, Asteri. I thought at least they gave us some attention I was wrong. Believe me, Piera is not a person who offends and doesn't listen to any idea from the people around her, but lately, the girl is very tired, the rebellion is not going through a flourishing moment, please understand the situation in which Piera finds himself. "Lanola was worried that Asteri would be offended by Piera's words.

"It is not you who must apologize, Lanola, I will hear them directly from Piera's mouth when what we have assumed happens". Asteri smiled warmly at Lanola, without malice on her face. "And don't worry, I am not offended nor do I want to run away, what I said before was true, I will stay in town". Asteri repeated what he said a little while ago to Piera, but he deliberately did not say everything that was going through his head.

"Ahaha, I hope to be there when that moment happens, I want to see Piera apologize. And I'm happy to hear that you will stay here, this gives me relief, thanks Asteri". Lanola was happy that Asteri would spend some time here in Katafygio. She doesn't know why, but she feels very comfortable with Asteri. 'Why do I feel this way? Maybe I got used to his company? I didn't have this feeling even when I was in love in the past ... '

"Lanola I wanted to ask you if we can stay in this tavern for our stay in this city if it's not too much trouble." Asteri had intended to stay in this tavern, finding it very welcoming especially for Brocc, the tavern keeper.

"Sure, I'm sure Brocc will let you stay with him. And since you're here to help him, you won't have to pay anything." Lanola gets up from her chair and starts to leave the room. "I'll talk to Brocc, don't worry." And he starts climbing the stairs.

"Thanks so much." Asteri says to him, having as an answer Lanola's thumbs up.

"Then see you later, Asteri, girls." Beatrix follows Lanola, without saying many words.

"Rest well, princess." Asteri warns the girl to rest well.

"Mh, when we are alone you can call me by name, Asteri. This also applies to you girls." Beatrix wanted the trio to call her by her name.

"Then rest well, Beatrix." Asteri smiled, making the princess blush, who immediately ran up the stairs.

"Now that we're here, we don't want to be inactive, do we?" Betty had deduced that Asteri had something in mind.

"I'm too sure someone is sending information about the rebellion to the enemy. And it's someone very close." Asteri stands up, followed by Betty. But Allatu remains firm in the chair, the woman seems immobilized.

"Allatu? What have you done?" Asteri turns to the succubus and puts his hands on his shoulders, worried about his state of stasis.

"Ah! Asteri? Nothing, I have nothing, do not worry." Allatu shakes his head and stands up.

"You say you are fine, but something is troubling you, tell me please." Asteri notes that Allatu is not telling the whole truth.

"Okay, I'll tell you what I think, but it's just a feeling ..." The succubus tells what she's troubled her.

"I understand, we'll keep that in mind, thank you, my love." Asteri gives a molded kiss to Allatu's lips. The woman immediately feels reassured thanks to her man's kiss.

"Thanks also to you hubby." Allatu finished the kiss, licked her lips seductively.

"Ok ok, now that you're done-" Betty was about to say something but was interrupted by Asteri kissing her too. 'I was not envious ...' she tries to deny in her mind, but it was evident that she was jealous of the kiss between Asteri and Allatu, and the boy knows it well.

"I bet you were going to say why didn't I mention the destroyed outpost? That would have been useless, I'm sure they'll find out soon. I think Lanola had the same idea in mind." Asteri finished kissing the half-breed, she explains why he didn't mention that event, guessing what Betty was about to say. "Well, it is true that we have to move, but it is also important to rest, let's go and see if lanola has convinced the innkeeper."

The group is the last to go up the stairs.
