~~~(POV: Jaeemara)~~~
~~~(Location: The Jungles of Nae'mor, The City of Armezix, The Continent of Alforza)~~~
~~~(Time: 11:13 AM)~~~
Saliandra and Angel Zern have been talking to each other since we left a few hours ago. Hearing their conversations makes me think of how Pazemad and I started dating. That eventually led to the life we have now. Only Saliandra and Angel Zern don't have to worry about others interfering.
They make a wonderful couple, and I can see there is a lot of love and trust between the two of them. I'd love to know their entire story together, but that's overstepping.
"You do know there are no restaurants owned by people from your world here, right? Lunch is going to be soon, and I'm more than hungry."
There topic of conversation at the moment is one that some might find menial. But I know what she speaks of. Players are from another world called Earth. And Angel Zern is a Player too. Which means he comes from that world.
While I've never had the food, they're speaking of. I've heard great things about it. And I wouldn't mind trying some in the future. But that would mean leaving Armezix and The Jungles of Nae'mor.
That's taking a huge risk that I don't need to be taking.
"Look, you'll just have to settle for the food of your world. I don't have any control over that. It's not like their food is bad."
I try to drown them out as they're behind me as we jump from building to building. Our destination is the home of my Father. Eldinemara. Many respect and fear him. My Father even has personal connections to the King of The Dark Elves.
That's the amount of influence and control my Father has. I wish there were another way to deal with him other than a confrontation, but I'll have to do this his way. Upfront and personal.
I'm looking forward to seeing Mom again, along with some of my brothers and sisters. The large family waiting for me there is one I miss. But I have to stay away from them for the benefit of my children and husband.
When this is all over, I'm hoping that our problems will be solved. My Father is a man that doesn't let many things slip past him, but I know that bringing Angel Zern will throw him so far off we'll have a definite advantage.
But my Father is... For lack of a better word... A mastermind. So I'm feeling some pride at having this card up my sleeve, and he does not know about it.
"How much further until we reach your Father's house?"
A question from behind takes me out of my thoughts, and I'm a little unprepared to answer. I figured they'd still be talking. But a few minutes passed, and that explains why a sudden change in subject happened.
Hopefully, they didn't spend too much time trying to get my attention.
"See that giant building?"
There is a metallic and marble palace in the distance, and that's the home of my Father and the rest of the family. The size of it is embarrassing. I don't like it when people know I come from such... Extravagant tastes.
"Are you serious? That's bigger than all the Palaces we've been to in our travels. How much do you think something like that costs?"
Saliandra is the first to embarrass me with such a question. And I don't know how to answer that. Talking about my Fathers money isn't something I wish to discuss with anyone, including family and friends. It seems disgusting to be so concerned with material things.
"Let's just say that my Father is the wealthiest person in Armezix. Right behind the throne that rules The Dark Elves."
That's all I'm adding to the conversation.
"No wonder your Father believed he could control you. Having that much power and influence will cause people to develop certain habits. What's the saying? Absolute power corrupts absolutely?"
Angel Zern isn't pulling any punches with his words, and I appreciate that about him. No one would dare say that about my Father in public or private. As to if I agree with his statement or not, I'd say no. My Father has good qualities to go with his bad ones.
But he does tend to throw around his power when he truly wants something. I believe it's called a dicking contest.
"Your particular choice of words isn't what I'd use to describe him. But he does use his power for some of the wrong reasons as much as he would for the right reasons. He doesn't break any laws, but he does hurt powerful people."
Everything he's done has been for the future of the family, and it's something that's hard to hate. He's not easily stopped, and the only person that's stood up to him and had their businesses survive is the thrones.
I still remember the first time Dad held Leela and Laura. It was the first time I had seen or spoken to him since Pazemad and I got married, and it was in the hospital. He held them, and I watched him smile. Genuine happiness.
Those are the things I remember about my Father. Not all the things he's done get in the way of Pazemad and me. Of course, I know them and acknowledge them, but I also choose to do the same for the otherside of him. The good side.
"How many floors does your home have?"
Saliandra is still on the subject of the home my family lives in. Even viewing it from this far is not doing it justice.
"Last time I was there 12 years ago, there were around 80 floors. But I think it's been extended in many areas. Magic is a large part of the home. It's way bigger on the inside than the outside."
That's something I never thought I'd say about the home I grew up in. But it gets bigger on the inside. That's embarrassing to say too.
~~~(POV: Cera Adamo)~~~
~~~(Location: The Jungles of Nae'mor, The City of Armezix, The Continent of Alforza)~~~
~~~(Time: 12:27 PM)~~~
Jaeemara walks up to the front gate and speaks with the guard. It's way bigger up close. I have to bend my head back to see the top. After a couple of minutes, the gates open, and we're led to the front door. It's wider than the roads of Armezix.
As the door finishes opening, a dignified man is sitting on a golden marble throne. And he looks toward us. More specifically, Jaeemara.
"Hello, little Jae..."
Seems even a powerful and high-status man like Eldinemara has a weak spot for his Daughter. She steps forward and has a soft smile on her face. She places her hands on her hips and looks both confident and defiant.
"I'm here to settle this once and for all, Dad. And when I leave here today, you'll leave Pazemad and me alone."
A declaration of war was just given, and the weight in the room is getting heavier by the second. I know my role is to be the ace in the hole in case Jaeemara needs me. Which is likely.
The man stands up from his throne and starts to descend. Locking eyes with his Daughter the whole way down. As he stops in front of her, there is a clear height difference. He even rivals me.
"You deserve better than a lowborn man. I've already discussed this with you, and nothing can be done about the divorce going through."
Ahh, so that's how he's playing it. He's just yanking all control away from Jaeemara, and this is why she needed my help.
"That's not going to happen."
I step forward and to the side of Jaeemara. The man looks me dead in the eyes, and I can see his contempt for my actions. And this is when I activate my Divine Title and toggle my Golden Wings on.
In that split second, his expression changes from one of contempt to one of worry and confusion.
