Lady Gold

While all of this was happening inside her own bedroom, Gloria who was completely oblivious to these was alone inside a room waiting patiently. 

With a weak hum the array inside the room lit up and an image started projected through it. 

The image was of a female human, and her appearance was kept hidden intentionally. She was none other than the head who owned and controlled the Golden Circle Guild. 

As soon as the image was completely projected, it started speaking. 

"What is so important that you asked to meet me so suddenly Gloria? Is there a problem?"

Shaking her head repeatedly, Gloria spoke what she came prepared with. 

"Not at all Lady Gold. I'm actually speaking to you, since I have some vital information for the guild."

"What is it?"

"There was recently a customer who took part in our latest auction, and he is someone very special. Not only is his strength high enough to be one of those few to decide who will win this war, but there's also someone of the same level accompanying him."

"Who is it? The boy's name is Felix, and the person accompanying him is Sophia Gilmore. The same one who is rumoured to be dead."

Due to the face being blurred Gloria was unable to know it, but the person's breathing had turned hard and her eyes were widened as well. However, the woman made sure to not let her words reveal her emotions. 

"Are you sure?"

"Definitely Lady Gold, I can personally guarantee the authenticity of the information. Also, Felix said he was most likely going to support the Nexus Empire in the upcoming war."

"I see."

With those words, the so called Lady Gold didn't say anything and kept her thoughts to herself, until she finally spoke again. 

"Since you're telling this information with such confidence, it must mean that you've obtained the information yourself. And the only way you could do say, was putting something on the line yourself. Tell me, Gloria, what did you give up to get this information? I'm more than willing to compensate you"

Shaking her head with a smile, Gloria said, "That's fine Lady Gold, if possible I want your permission to leave the Golden Circle Guild."

"Oh? I see. In that case, I won't hold you back."

Though she still couldn't see the Lady Gold's face, Gloria felt that she was speaking those words with sincerity and a smile of real happiness. 

"Thank you Lady Gold."

Bowing her head once as a gesture to show her thanks, Gloria turned around and left with looking back. Because from this day forth a chapter of her life was over, and it would be the beginning of a new chapter. A chapter in which she would share her life with someone else. 

.... 

Once Gloria left, somewhere very far away from the Mountain Treasure City deep inside a palace a woman stepped out of an array as it stopped glowing and turned off. 

Walking a little forward she sat down on a sofa with an expression that didn't show any of her emotions. Pondering over what she had just heard from Gloria, the woman couldn't believe that such a coincidence was possible. 

The so called Lady Gold was none other than the current Empress of the Nexus Empire, and Sophia's sister. In fact, even Gloria, or for that matter no one else knew that she was the mastermind behind the Golden Circle Guild. 

After her sister had disappeared, she established the Golden Circle Guild not with the intention to earn a profit, but to find out where Sophia was. 

... 

Going back to her home happily to find Felix who she had kept waiting for almost half a day, Gloria began thinking about what he had been doing for so long. 

Thinking that he most likely got bored of waiting and slept since it was now almost early morning, Gloria began thinking of ways to make up for it. 

But all of those ideas were completely thrown aside once she saw Felix, and figured out what he had been doing until now. 

Walking inside her room, Gloria was stunned at how the room smelled. And how Felix was comfily sleeping with a huge smile on his face while being surrounded by four naked women who looked like they were trying to get closer to him even in their sleep.

Not even concerned about the fact that Felix looked so cute when sleeping, Gloria picked up a nearby vase and threw it against the wall.

Despite all of them having senses that Gloria came inside, none of them chose to wake up from their comfortable sleep.

But all of them were forced to open their eyes since the shattering of the vase didn't leave them much of a choice.

"I see that you haven't been missing me."

While Felix was unable to understand why Gloria was behaving like an aggrieved wife that caught her husband cheating, even Gloria herself didn't know why she was feeling like that.

"I understand how you're feeling, but can we do this later? I'm feeling really sleepy Gloria."

Looking at Felix who looked like all he cared about was sleeping, when she gave up her job and everything for him, Gloria didn't know what came over her.

Shutting the door behind her, she stripped herself naked and jumped on the bed forcing Felix to stay awake and have sex with her.

"Don't think that you can finish this quick and go back to sleep! I'm a virgin, and I want to take it very slowly. And by that, I mean very very very slow."
