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

~~~(Location: The Jungles of Nae'mor, The Continent of Alforza)~~~

~~~(Time: 10:17 AM)~~~

We're following behind Jaeemara as she leads us to Armezix, the City of Dark Elves. It's supposedly a city the size of an entire Kingdom. And according to The Dark Elves, it's the largest city in all of Gaia. But there is a bigger concern at the moment.

"You seem to like the way Jaeemara is shaped. I'll admit, she has large breasts and curves in the right places. Is she your type of woman?"

Sally has been questioning me about how I stared at Jaeemara when she first showed herself to us. I never thought I'd be in a situation like this. It's the one every guy dreads, and that's making the mistake of looking at a beautiful girl too long around your girlfriend.

Being a man, I can see my error in looking at Jaeemara. But it didn't help that she actually enjoyed it. That added fuel to the fire for Sally, and this is the first time I've ever had this happen to me. A girl is jealous of another girl regarding me.

"Sally... I thought you said you weren't going to talk to me..."

After Jaeemara started leading us, Sally made it clear I'm getting the silent treatment. But at this point, I think she doesn't care. My lack of effort to get her talking might have caused this.

"So you don't want me talking to you? Okay, I won't speak to you anymore. You can talk to Jaeemara and her great body."

My God...

I thought I'd be missing out on an experience like this. But going through it now, I can wholeheartedly say I regret thinking I'd miss out on this experience. But I'll play her game, and I know I can play it better than she can.

"Jaeemara!"

I raise my voice so the Dark Elf that's leading us can hear. And she slows down for a split second to level out with the both of us. I give Sally a momentary look, and I can see that she's not believing what she's seeing right now.

"What is it you wish to talk about?"

Her voice is calm and even. Welcoming too. But not sultry or alluring. It's dignified and polished. Like she's been speaking ever since the moment she was born. But that's not really fair, considering Elves are immortal.

The subject I wish to talk about is a simple one. And it's going to win this little passive-aggressive game that Sally is forcing me to play.

"I was hoping that you could explain to my jealous girlfriend here that there is nothing to worry about. She saw me looking at you longer than necessary and has it in her head that I'm going to try something with you."

The blush and nervous expression that explodes on Sally's face seal my victory. It's not every day I get to do this anymore.

Jaeemara lets out a smooth laugh and takes a breath.

"Don't worry, Saliandra. I'm already married to another man. And if you don't believe me, you can ask my two kids if you meet them."

The smug look on my face is all I need to show Sally. And her blush from embarrassment soon fades, and Jaeemara moves back ahead of us. It's so satisfying to win these little games we play from time to time.

While it's sad, it started from her insecurity. I think it was a perfect chance to show her nothing is wrong. Sally failed to notice key aspects of Jaeemara. That being the small ring made out of magical flowers on her ring finger.

That didn't go unnoticed by me, and now Sally looks like an idiot.

"You jerk... You could've just said you've seen it and saved me the embarrassment and you the trouble of dealing with a jealous woman..."

I reach over and place my hand on the top of her head. Her cheeks puff out in annoyance just a little bit, and a small chuckle escapes my lips.

"Why would I do that when I can see this rare side of you? I've never seen you so green with envy. It's not my fault you focused on the wrong things. You only saw her body parts. I saw pieces of armor and gear that actually told me something."

When I put it like that, it makes it seem like she's the one that was staring at Jaeemara. That causes her even more embarrassment, and she shoves my arm away and turns her head with a huff.

"Yeah... Well..."

She's having a hard time finding the right rebuttal.

"What was that? I didn't quite catch that."

Her head darts back to me, and she's got a cute glare in her eyes. She knows that I'm messing with her longer than I have to, and she's conflicted about it. She both likes and dislikes being teased by me. I do it the right way, and that's what I'm doing right now.

"I said... Oh, just shut up!"

The laughter pours out of my mouth, and it isn't making Sally any better. After a minute or so, I stop and turn my attention forward. Jaeemara suddenly disappears, and we keep following. We pass through an invisible barrier, and Jaeemara is in front of us again.

Suddenly the trees break open, and the largest city I've ever seen in The Ancients World graces my sight. It's made of marble and magic and looks like a paradise. I see off in the far distance huge towers that reach into the sky and beyond.

"Welcome to Armezix. The City of Dark Elves."

Jaeemara lands on a branch ahead of us and stops. We land with her, and she turns to us with a smile.

"I can continue taking you further into the city if you wish, but we'll have to stop off at certain places. There are people I want to talk to. I haven't seen my kids in a few weeks."

I take it that being a scout isn't the easiest of jobs, and that's something I can respect.

"That's fine with us. I'd rather have you showing us around than stumble around ourselves. People might think we're intruders or something without an escort."

Jaeemara nods her head and turns to the city. Lifting her hand and points to a beautiful residential district that is pretty close by, considering the sheer size of this place. Even with what's in view, it's not even close to everything.

"I live over there with my family. It's just my husband Pazemad and our two Daughters, Leela and Laura."

All of a sudden, that feeling from Sally is back. But she's not saying anything. I get it. Having two Daughters come from someone as pretty as Jaeemara could be trouble. And by trouble, I mean for Sally and me.

She knows I would never cheat on her, but that doesn't make me looking at another woman easier for her. And given this is my first slip up, I think I deserve a little more mercy.

"Lead the way, Jaeemara. I look forward to meeting your family. You've been so nice to us, and I can only imagine how welcoming your home is."

Yeah, our first meeting wasn't the best. But that was Jaeemara doing her job. As soon as I proved who I was and that I wasn't a threat. She was a sweet woman who carried an air of purity around her. It's rare to meet both a warrior and a sweetheart living in the same person.

Jaeemara leaps off the branch, and we follow her. She takes us all the way to her house, and it's both large and beautiful. It's not something I've ever seen a regular citizen have.

Perhaps that's the standard of living here in Armezix.
