~~~(POV: Cera Adamo)~~~

~~~(Location: Flying back to Mansion, The Kingdom of Zenith)~~~

~~~(Time: 11:58 AM)~~~

Amelia is soundly sleeping as we fly, and I'm going at a speed much slower so as not to wake her. After crying so much, she's in need of some rest. But I've been occupying my time with a conversation with Sally. She's found out her Dad isn't a Slaver.

He's been fighting the business ever since Sally's Mother was lost in the Sex Slave Trade. That's what I think, at least. I can't imagine how good this makes Sally feel. She was so scared of Zarmade being something less than animalistic.

And to be honest, I was scared too. I don't know how Sally would've handled the news that the last parent she has is why her Mother's life and her life were so bad.

She's been talking to me about various things over the last 10 minutes, and I can't help smiling at how much better she's doing now.

Speaking of talking, she's just sent me another message. But this one is on the more important side of things.

[Since you know so much about random things, do you by chance know of any traitors in the Sex Slave Trade? One of the guys in that room said that's the only way I can find Zarmade. He's using traitors to take the empire down piece by piece.]

Even Zarmade is starting to inspire me more as time passes. Sally and I have the quest to end Slavery in The Kingdom of Zenith, but if all this pans out good. We could end it across all of Gaia.

Her Father has already done a lot of the heavy work. But what I find slightly alarming is I never knew of Zarmade Oryzox being this hero. From what I remember in my old future, he was just a prince of The Elven Kingdom that was out in the world somewhere.

Maybe this was what he was doing at that time... There is no way to be sure, and just because I'm excited doesn't mean that I'm sold Zarmade is a good guy.

It takes a monster to hunt monsters like Sex Slave Traders. And all these years of isolation and bloodlust might have warped the man's mind. He could be dangerous. What if he doesn't believe Sally is his Daughter when they finally meet...

But as to what Sally is asking for, there is one name I heard of back in my old future. One that bounced around on the Forums and Player's Channels.

[I heard about one guy. Or should I say woman... She's based in The City of Yordase. Within The Empire of Larmordies. I'd be wary of traveling to such a place. The Empire of Larmordies is one of the wealthiest and most powerful forms of government in all of Gaia. Her name is Regelia.]

From what I remember reading about The Empire of Larmordies, it's one of the oldest Empires in all of Gaia, and its family has been ruling on the throne since its creation. Since it was formed and built before The Church of Light, The Pope has no authority over who rules it and for how long.

It's filled with powerful people, and they're all fiercely loyal to the Larmordies Royal Bloodline. Not even The Adventurers Guild has establishments in The Empire of Larmordies.

What I know about The City of Yordase is very little. It's a moderately sized city filled with consumer goods, and it's also got a local arena to do battle. That's another thing that's unique about The Empire of Larmordies.

All of its cities have arenas and colosseums to do battle in. But my thoughts are interrupted by the message I get from Sally.

[I don't have any money left for travel via Teleportation Gate... Do you think I could borrow some money? I promise I'll pay you back. I just don't want to waste any time using an Airship...]

I don't know why, but I find myself laughing at the message. Never did I think Sally would ask me for money to help her, but I'm glad she is.

I get wanting to save time, and I've been in similar situations before, back in my old future. But back then, I didn't have a sugar momma to give me money. So in a way, I'm kinda happy that she's doing this. It lets me know she's at a point where she feels safe to ask me that sort of thing.

[Yeah, I'll send you some money. I'm really glad that you've asked me actually. I'll always be there to help you when you need it, and I know for a fact that if I need help with money, you'd give me what I need in a heartbeat. So give me a price, and we'll jump through the hoops.]

To send money to another Player while far apart, you have to use The Auction House, which means there has to be a trade of some kind. After a couple of minutes, I get a private offer from The Auction House, but I can't help blushing when I see what she's sent me.

[Private Auction]

[Saliandra Orvello's Panties (Black Lace)]

[Description: The underwear that Princess Saliandra Orvello wears on a daily basis.]

[Price: 500 Gold]

[Attatched Message: I want those back the next time we see each other~...]

Wow... My heart is racing, and I find this incredibly hot for some reason. But I'm quick to put a lid on it. I don't want to get into this situation with Amelia sleeping on my back while flying. So I pay her the Gold, and the panties are deposited into my inventory.

I can't help looking at them in the little box; they're the ones I remember taking off her several times. They bring back really good memories. Once again, I'm having to reign in control.

After a few minutes of flight, Amelia stirs on my back and almost falls off. But I adjust, and she keeps soundly sleeping. Sally is off doing what she needs to do next, and I'm left with my thoughts. I'm sure there is a blush still on my face, but it'll go away in a little while.

The City of Yordase and The Empire of Larmodies will be a new experiences for her. And it'll be one for me once I get there too. I've never been to any of the Empires that inhabit Gaia.

They're the oldest things around besides Dragons, Gods, and certain Monsters. They've been ruling at the top for a long time, and there is only two ways that a Kingdom can become an Empire.

The first way is to expand your borders to the point you have to make an Empire. And that's the easy way. The second way has only been done once before, and it's an incredible tale. But that's for another time.

The second way is to Destroy an Empire and take its place. I've heard as many good things as I've heard bad things about The Empire of Larmodies. It's definitely a place that's unique like all Empires.

My eyes take in the appearance of the clouds I'm flying through, and I get a glimpse of the ground every few seconds. The endless forests that are probably filled with monsters.

It takes me back to the days when I first started playing The Ancients World for the second time around... When I still thought this was a game... Before I could fly... The Wilds are something that I struggled a lot with my first life...

But I avoided that mess almost entirely in this life... There is something I should do... I need to check in with Hailey.

She's in the Southern Continent when the Brazilian Players first spawned and started playing. And she's there now. When last we talked, we didn't get a good chance to discuss what she's doing, and I'd like to know more.
