Leander’s Wrath, Eve’s Echoes    

Iraya's holidays were anything but restful. She spent her days running errands left and right for Leander's whims, while he indulged in his carefree lifestyle.

Tonight, she was out in town, searching for specific cuts of rare meat that Leander had demanded.

Meanwhile, Leander was sprawled in a dimly lit bar, surrounded by his rowdy friends, their laughter echoing off the walls as they emptied one bottle after another.

"So, this Iraya girl," one of them began with a mocking chuckle, leaning back in his seat, "is she your new errand girl now?"

The group erupted into laughter.

"Where'd she come from, anyway?" another chimed in, slurring his words slightly.

"I heard she's from some far-off country," a third one added, his tone laced with derision.

"Yeah, a foreign student," someone else sneered. "Bet her parents are loaded with cash."
