~~~(POV: Saliandra Orvello)~~~

~~~(Location: City of Yordase, The Empire of Larmodies)~~~

~~~(Time: 8:04 PM)~~~

Regelia is right down there, and I'm tempted to just bust through this window and start killing everyone I see. Regelia will make a break for it, and I don't want to get caught up in all the people trying to kill me while she gets away.

I doubt I'll be able to kill her either. I have a sneaking suspicion she's an NPC Turned Player. So, even after I get the information I need. Killing her won't be a permanent solution.

Even though she's a traitor to the people, she's working with, that doesn't make her any better than the rest of the Slavers. Not to me. She's just standing there with a smile. Thinking about the money she'll make from all of this.

I watch as a man walks toward the container and he opens it. My heart rate skyrockets and I see what I've once lived. Women from all different races are in that container. Some are skinny and near death. Others are dead, and some are healthy enough to walk.

I'm barely able to hear what's going on inside, so I slip through the window and hide on the catwalk. Able to hear everything now.

"The product isn't as high quality as we were hoping for... Select the best ones, and kill the rest. This was a disappointment from the others we've received."

Both my heart, head, and soul scream for me to do something for these women. But if I do, I'll miss my chance to grab and interrogate Regelia... I know in my heart if I don't do something to help these women, I'm going to regret it for the rest of my life.

Cera would do something, regardless of the risks it has to the quest he's on. And I shouldn't let my personal vendetta get in the way of helping those poor girls... I was one of them at one point...

So in a fury, I jump down from the catwalk and start killing everyone I see. The ones closest to the exits make a break for it, and I do my best to catch them all and kill them. But some are a similar or higher level than me and can move faster than others in the room.

Using their allies as decoys while they get away. I look around in hopes that Regelia hasn't gotten away yet, but she's gone. I release a sigh and finish off the last of the men in the room.

I walk toward the container, and some of the girls recoil in fear of what I just did. My hand is already reached out, and I start to help as many out of the container as I can.

"You're all okay now. Wait here while I grab a couple of guards real fast."

I do as I say, and I'm back with a couple of guards. Showing them the proof of my claims, and they're quick to give out the alarm. After a couple of minutes, hundreds of female guards are all around the location.

Apparently, this isn't the first time this has happened, and they have female guards specially trained and ready for a situation like this. Men are required to wait outside and secure the parameter.

As I'm sitting on one of the steps leading upstairs, a woman in officer armor approaches me and takes a seat next to me.

"You did a great thing today. May I get your name?"

My hood is on right now, so she can't see my defining features. Since my target is probably long gone by now, there is no sense in hiding my appearance. I lift the hood and look at her. Her breath is caught in her throat as she sees me.

"I'm Saliandra Orvello."

She's trying to find the right words as she looks like she's lost control of her hands. After a second, she clears her throat and tries to look more dignified, by her hair is a little frizzy.

"It's an honor to meet the girlfriend and partner of Angel Zern! Not to mention a Princess of The Elven Kingdom! I'm sorry for any disrespect that I've caused you!"

Her words sound robotic and unnatural. Like she's caking the fear with a highly formal apology. I can't help but smile.

"What's your name?"

I might as well learn the name of who I'm talking to. She clears her throat a second time and looks at me.

"I'm captain Elly Mornes, and I'm in charge of finding and rooting out operations like this in Yordase. We've been having a serious trafficking problem for the last 2 years, and we haven't gotten much ground. Thanks again... Mind if I ask what you're doing here?"

It makes sense why she's curious about why I'm here, and maybe she can help me find out more about Regelia since I missed my chance. I'll keep the bigger details out of it.

"I'm looking for a Slaver by the name of Regelia. She was here, but when I saw the girls, I decided to change targets. Regelia has lots of information I need, but I doubt I'll find her again after today."

Elly lets out a long sigh herself and rubs the back of her neck.

"Yeah... Regelia has been on our watchlist for a long time. We heard rumors she was in town, but we couldn't confirm anything... I don't know anything that can help you, and I'm sorry for that..."

It's not the end of the world... I did save around 20 Sex Slaves, and now their lives will get better. Being sent home and go back to the lives they had before being forced into this life. Elly stands up and walks to the other guards. Leaving me where I'm at.

I don't know what to do next. Running around town now looking for someone that doesn't want to be found is a waste of energy. If the city guards can't find her, I don't think I have any chance.

However, she'll be trying to get out of the city as fast as she can. And that either means leaving through the front gate or getting out in some underground passage.

It's the best chance I've got, and I shouldn't waste any more time here. So I stand up, rush toward the warehouse's exit and start running down the street.

All of a sudden, it dawns on me. Regelia wouldn't use the gates to get in because they would've recognized her. Meaning there is definitely a secret way into the city, and I only have a little bit of time to find it. And the best place to get that kind of information is criminals.

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

~~~(Location: Capital City Zenith, The Kingdom of Zenith)~~~

~~~(Time: 9:15 PM)~~~

I've gotten nowhere in my search for Kris, and you'd think finding a specific hobo wouldn't be hard. But this is a task I've never had before.

At this point, I don't know if Kris Martim is testing me, or playing a game with me. I'm almost certain now that the hobo cover he's using is just that. A cover.

He's playing some angle, and I don't know what it is. It's driving me a little crazy cause I don't usually have this hard a time finding someone. It shows that Kris isn't someone or something that should be taken lightly.

On another note, it's starting to get a little late, and I don't know if I'll be finding Kris once the night is completely over the city. I highly doubt he's going to be waiting in one place for me, which means I should wait for him in one of his favorite places...

That's it.

All I need to do is wait somewhere he frequents to drink, and I'll have him. But he knows everything I'm doing... Would that even work? Wouldn't he just avoid me? This is running in circles.
