    The day of the party had arrived, and now I''m just waiting for Fiona to send the invitation.


    From inside my office, I looked out the window, paying attention to every person passing by on the street in front of the guild.


    In the game, after Der informed about the incident of locations mysteriously freezing for the yer, the main quest "Discover the Incident" is triggered. There is no reward, and you only need to go to the designated location. The interesting part is the quest that activates right afterpleting it: "Find the Culprit," with that description in the quest.


    Many residents reported the presence of a woman wearing a hanfu in all the frozen locations, and word has it that she roams the city as if she hadn''t done anything.


    Unfortunately, we didn''t find her, but instead, it was Drakion, who was returning from a mission hunting the striped sides. At least, that''s what he pretended to be doing, as his true motive was to ce the protagonist in the right ce, at the right time, away from the guild.


    I put my hand on the window, smiling, and said:


    "I hope you''re ready for a change of ns, Fiona."


    I continued to look at the street for a few minutes, and no interesting person appeared.


    The office door opened, and Freytan entered, carrying the mission paper for the striped wolves.


    "So, the Drakion d finished the mission and prevented the pack from invading the city. He wants to talk to you personally."


    "Alright, I''ll attend to his request."


    I stopped paying attention to the street, turned around, and walked towards Freytan, extending my hand.


    "Shall we go?"


    "Are you a child, after all?"


    Freytan took my hand, descending with me to the first floor, where Drakion d was sitting alone at a table, drinking rum with seven bags of one hundred gold coins spread across the table.


    "Looks like you reallypleted it. Good job."


    Drakion d stood up, bowing to me.


    "I appreciate it. Even after my mistake of forgetting the pelts, you didn''t deduct a single coin."


    While the conversation between me and Drakion d continued, Freytan walked over to the counter, where Dealer was attending to all the adventurers.


    "Is Amanda ready?" Freytan asked.


    "Yes, she has learned almost everything she should, and she''s just waiting for our master''s orders."


    "Great to hear that. I''m excited to see her in action."


    "I would say I am too."


    Currently, Dealer is aware of the entire n, except for the part rted to protecting the guild members. Now, Dealer is only helping to maintain appearances.


    "Our guild master, there''s a very nice ce that recently opened. Would you ept going with me?"


    Drakion spoke with a big smile on his face.


    "If you pay, I don''t see a reason to refuse."


    "Our guild master, you really have no mercy for your adventurers, do you?"<novelsnext>I think you should take a look at </novelsnext>


    "Hahaha, you were the one who called me, so you''ll have to bear all the expenses."


    "Well, I earned a lot of money today, so let''s make the most of it."


    '' Alright, now we just need to go to the right ce and wait for the moment when the party will begin. I''m eager to see you in person, Fiona '' I thought as I left the guild with Drakion, heading towards the west side of the city.


    After walking, we ended up reaching almost the western exit gate.


    "Now that we''re far enough..."


    Red mes emerged from nowhere,pletely covering the left side of Drakion''s face. He quickly turned and his right hand covered my face entirely, pushing me towards the ground


    .


    "Sorry, but you won''t leave here alive today."


    At that moment, I smiled, observing Drakion''s arm beingpletely covered by the mes, rising an immense fireball into the sky.


    A few secondster, a group of hooded people wearing ck clothes with red details and metal masks covering their faces appeared. The masks had different variations, some showing expressions of sadness, others apathetic, and some even expressing happiness.


    They emerged from various houses, starting to run through the streets, initiatingplete chaos.


    At that moment, Drakion''s fake smile began to distort as he pressed my face against the ground while heughed and incinerated. His smile now stretched from ear to ear, and he thought:


    '' What a foolish n you had, guildmaster. Now I will kill you myself. Thank you very much for giving me this opportunity to strengthen my rtionship with Fiona so quickly. ''


    The superiority Drakion felt made himpletely forget the fear he once had of me.


    The mes emanating from Drakion''s right arm began to intensify in heat. The mes, once orange, gradually turned blue.


    "Hahahahah, Miss Fiona, if you still want something from this body, you bettere quickly."


    After a few seconds, the air started to cool. The mes, which were almost entirely blue, began to lose their strength, slowly returning to their original color.


    "Perfect work. I knew I could trust you, little Drakion."


    Twenty-nine meters away, the ground started to freeze, cracking and opening a hole. From it emerged a woman. Yes, that was Fiona.


    She was a remarkable figure, with an umon beauty that captivated the gaze of everyone around her. Her white hair, like glistening snowkes, gently fell over her shoulders, adding a touch of purity and serenity to her appearance. Each strand seemed to shine with a soft luminosity.


    Her eyes were truly enchanting, with star-shaped irises that revealed her unique nature. They were a delicatebination of pink and ck, creating a striking contrast. These ster eyes seemed to glow with a seductive mystery, and when she fixed them on someone, it was as if the universe opened up before them.


    Her skin was pale and translucent, reminiscent of porcin''s smoothness. Delicate features adorned her face, with arched eyebrows and lightly blushed lips.


    Dressed in her hanfu, she disyed unmatched elegance. The white blouse, with long and wide sleeves, wrapped around her arms like graceful wings. Her upright and confident posture conveyed a majestic presence.


    The pink skirt, adorned with a translucent ckyer and embroidered pink stars, enveloped her legs with charming softness.


    Delicate essoriesplemented her look. Star-shaped earrings gently dangled from her ears, capturing the light and reflecting it with a subtle glow.


    Observing her, it was impossible not to be captivated by her singr appearance. She embodied the delicacy, strength, and magic contained in a single being.


    "Extinguish your mes. I want to see what remains of his body."
