Chapter 84 Extra 1. Meeting You [3]


    Extra 1. Meeting with You (Adam and Ekaterina), Part 3


    ***


    Their country is called Ravenheim, and its full name is "The Magical Kingdom of Ravenheim." In this country, witches and warlocks reside, who, through experiments, have be powerful in magic but, in exchange, lost their freedom, bing ves to the witches.


    If anyone has the desire to visit this unusual country, their chances are nil. The Kingdom of Ravenheim is located in a different dimension and hidden from ordinary beings.


    The Witch Hunt. A moment in history when all races hunted witches, who miraculously altered their gics to achieve an ideal lineage for magic. But the price they paid for this was too great.


    Millions of beings from different races were killed – elves, beastmen, demons, nymphs, fairies, sirens, vampires, werewolves, gnomes...


    The world was aze with fury, and the alliance of different races against the witches was the first incident in the history of the world. As a result, more than ten thousand witches perished, and the remaining five thousand disappeared, vanishing forever.


    Only a hundred years ago, a trace of the witches was discovered after a schism fifty years into its existence.


    Ultimately, the heir Prince Richard started a war against former when one of the human kings encountered a group of strangely dressed women who, in the blink of an eye, annihted his army and took away the bodies of the fallen knights.


    The king lost his sanity and eventually destroyed his own country, dying at the hands of his son, who was the heir prince. By the way, this prince, named Richard,ter founded the Kingdom of Humans, after a schism fifty years into its existence.


    Ultimately, the heir Prince Richard started a war against former allies and shed much blood, establishing the Kingdom of Avalonia in honor of his grandfather – Avalon.


    Regardless, the witches were dangerous beings, and who knows what they were capable of. Adam sighed and shook his head, saying, "Either way, I''ll buy her."


    Adam tossed a tinum Dragon Stone onto the table, making a resounding noise that startled Yorin. Bowing his head and falling to his knees, Yorin thanked him profusely.


    "Thank you, thank you!"


    Ignoring his adoration and sycophancy, Adam stood up and looked at Ekaterina, whose intense gaze, filled with hatred, made him smile.


    "Let''s go. Now you''re mine." Adam turned around and headed for the exit.


    Ekaterina winced in disgust but was forced to follow Adam due to the magical brand that forbids disobedience to the owner.


    Leaving the store, Adam instantly drew attention. It wasn''t just because of his handsome appearance but also the apanying woman, whose beauty was worth entire kingdoms and could lead to a global war.


    Whispers and idental nces – Adam was long ustomed to it, so he waved his hand to Ekaterina without looking at her and led the way to an expensive restaurant.


    The entrance was adorned with greenery and vegetation, and the overall style of the building was inspired by the restaurants of Adam''s past life, which he sessfully implemented in his city. Thanks to this unique design and new dishes, wealthy people flocked here daily, and finding a free table was challenging.


    Of course, that applied only to those without status. Adam, who effectively owned the restaurant and the city, could get a table anytime.


    "Wee!" The lively and energetic voice of a young man dressed in a ssic suit with white gloves greeted the guests. He politely bowed to them.


    "A table for two." Adam didn''t bother with pleasantries and directly ordered, causing the young man to wince but quickly hide his displeasure.


    With a smile on his face, the young man bowed again and led them to an avable table.


    Approaching the table, Adam pulled out one of the chairs and looked at Ekaterina, who looked puzzled in response. Adam sighed and exined, "Sit."


    "Eh?" Ekaterina tilted her head but obeyed Adam''s order and sat down with his polite help. This scene seemed somewhat surprising to other guests, who thought that Adam not only brought a servant to an expensive restaurant but was also serving her as if she were ady.


    However, contrary to the men''s thoughts, the women were touched by his gentlemanly manners and smiled brightly, making their partners grind their teeth in irritation.


    Not paying attention to the hostile gazes from the guests, Adam took the menu and saw a plethora of dishes with unfamiliar names. He simply ordered what he knew and left the rest to the restaurant owners.


    "Ekaterina, order whatever you want." Adam handed her the menu and leaned back in his chair, stretching.


    "M-Me?" Ekaterina was surprised but then nervously took the menu in her hands, quickly scanning through all the dishes.


    Although Adam found her behavior somewhat charming, he still wanted a drink, so he waved his hand, summoning the waiter.


    "A bottle of fine wine. Any kind as long as it tastes good and is worth the money." Adam yawned and looked at Ekaterina. "Have you decided?"


    "Y-Yes!" Ekaterina flinched and turned to the waiter, monotonously reciting her order: "Spring interpretation of grapefruit and green peas, sea scallops with green tangerine sauce, pine nuts, and blue radish, omelet with grilled cauliflower...".


    Adam smiled, observing the waiter sweating with each passing second, hurriedly jotting down Ekaterina''s order, which seemed never-ending.


    And did he do anything to stop it? No. He enjoyed Ekaterina''s decisive yet adorable expression as she ordered new dishes. And since he liked her, Adam was willing to indulge her.


    "Trout with green asparagus, olives, green tomatoes, and forest sauce, and angoustine cooked in its shell with ginger broth..." Ekaterina finished speaking, causing the waiter to sigh with relief.


    "A-Alright! Thank you for the order; everything will be in the best condition!" The waiter''s walk was calm, but it was evident that he was rushing away, as if escaping from this predatory and hungry lioness who seemed to have realized her actions and gasped, covering her face with her hands, blushing.


    "Everything is fine. This restaurant is just a cheap ce for food with decent taste, as far as I''m concerned." Adam stretched and cracked his knuckles, smiling at Ekaterina. "And, as I can see, you''re ustomed to handling suchrge orders?"


    "Uh, well, yes." Ekaterina ced her hands on her knees and turned away, answering him softly and almost in a whisper, "My mother often took me to expensive restaurants..."


    As soon as she realized her words, she covered her mouth and acted as if she hadn''t said anything. Adam didn''t want to press her, and, in truth, he wasn''t interested in her past.


    "Her mother... wasn''t she raised from infancy?" Adam pondered but didn''t show it.


    Fortunately, the waiter arrived with a bottle of wine and two sses, relieving the awkward silence.


    "Sir, this wine is called ''Dragon''s Breath,'' with bright red hues, a pleasant spiciness, and a deep vor. Ordinary people, after drinking this wine, have a slight chance of embarking on the path of evolution, but that chance is extremely small." The waiter smiled elegantly as he poured the wine into the sses. "I''m sure that a respected gentleman like yourself will be able to fully appreciate the whole spectrum of this wonderful wine''s taste."


    "Oh? Then I must try it." Adam shrugged and waved his hand, signaling the waiter to leave.


    Finally, it was time to talk to Ekaterina properly. Taking the ss in his hand, swirling the wine inside to mix it, and enjoying the vibrant colors and unique vor, Adam ced the ss with a gentle thud.


    "Let''s start with the fact that I don''t care about your past, your connections, where you lived, the conditions you were born in, or anything of the sort. From today, you''re my servant, and I''ll treat you just like everyone else." He smiled, cing his hand over hers, gently caressing her delicate and fair fingers. "I''ll give you a family and a home, and you''ll be obligated to serve me faithfully and truthfully."


    Ekaterina lowered her head, lost in thought, then raised her eyes. "I never had a choice anyway. As your servant... I''m ready to fulfill all of my Master''s wishes."


    Adam smiled at her, raising his ss and extending it towards Ekaterina, who, albeit btedly, also raised her ss, and they clinked them together.


    ***


    Entering through the main gates of his estate, Adam felt the presence of another person, and a beautiful elf emerged to meet him. Her ample bosom swayed as she ran, and her lush blonde hair seemed to levitate in the air.


    "Ada-... Sir!" ra approached him, smiling. "It''s been a while. I''ve been dealing with some issues in the city, but upon hearing about your arrival, I wanted to wee you."


    Adam smiled at her, grabbing her waist and pulling her close, burying his nose in her voluminous hair and inhaling the floral scent.


    "Long time no see... I have a favor to ask you, my dear. I need to conduct some tests for my new chambermaid."


    ra flinched, feeling his strong and masculine hands on her hips, and exhaled seductively near Adam''s right ear, smiling like a cunning little fox.


    "Of course." She shifted her gaze and saw a beautiful woman with ck hair and dark green eyes, dressed in a maid''s uniform. Reluctantly, ra slipped out of Adam''s embrace and approached the woman, smiling and extending her hand. "My name is ra. I usually deal with quality control of goods and enforcing public norms in the city. It''s a pleasure to meet you."


    Ekaterina forced a fake smile, shaking her hand, and her entire demeanor suddenly changed. From a somewhat inexperienced and easily flustered woman, she transformed into a confident and decisive individual.


    Adam didn''tment on it and simply watched with a smile as the two women discussed conducting the tests, while he turned around and prepared to leave.


    Snatch.


    The sound of fabric against fabric made Adam turn back, feeling warmth on his hand, and then he saw a beautiful and enchanting woman, whose beauty was unmatched by anything else.


    Locking eyes with her green gaze, the depth and beauty of which seemed to draw him in, Adam was momentarily stunned for a few seconds.


    "Please, don''t leave me..."


    Her sudden determination and seriousness, along with her indifference to everything else, disappeared. ra was surprised to see the serious and intelligentdy turn into a helpless girl, burying her face in Adam''s chest, seekingfort.


    Not knowing what to do, Adam embraced her from behind and, with a smile, signaled ra to quickly prepare the tests so that he could finish the day and allow Ekaterina to rest.


    Caressing her silky ck hair as his hand gently rested on her waist, Adam could only smile as he watched the woman hide her face in his embrace.
