While Nieren ran into the Kings Slayer, Percy, and Dalia were looking around at restaurants. Dalia was overly excited. She had been to places like these before, but none were as nice as this one.
"Hey, Gamma! Look at this place!" Dalia exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with excitement as she gestured towards an elegant restaurant nestled in the bustling city square.
Percy turned his head to follow Dalia's enthusiastic pointing. His brows knitted together as he took in the grand façade of the Bao'Hai restaurant, shimmering with intricate decorations and adorned with vibrant lanterns. "It's the Bao'Hai restaurant? Ah, I don't know about that place, Lady Dalia. It seems a bit too fancy for our tastes," he replied, his voice tinged with apprehension. The lavish atmosphere felt intimidating, highlighting the disparity between their modest means and the restaurant's opulence.
Dalia let out a soft, melodic giggle, her eyes sparkling with mischief and excitement. "Why do you think we can't go in? Is it because we're poor?" With a playful grin stretching across her face, she triumphantly brandished a burlap sack that jingled with the cheerful sound of clinking coins. "Well, it's a good thing I won this…" she declared, holding the sack high above her head. The sunlight filtered through the trees, casting a warm glow on the glimmering gold pieces inside, dazzling Percy momentarily.
Percy, however, couldn't shake off the apprehension gnawing at him. "But what if it's a place that looks down on people like us? D-Dalia! Wait, wait up!" He hastily grabbed the eager wolfkin's hand, tugging her gently but firmly in the opposite direction, hoping to steer her away from the imposing entrance of the lavish restaurant.
Dalia's expression twisted into a pout as she dug her heels into the cobblestone path, determined not to let go of her dreams. "Come on, Gamma! We're supposed to be on a date! And I want to go to Bao'Hai! Just look at it!" She gestured towards the extravagant establishment, adorned with intricate lanterns and bustling patrons, the aroma of exotic dishes wafting through the air, tempting her senses.
Percy hesitated, glancing at the grand façade, uncertain yet intrigued. "Dalia? Um... Well, I guess we can give it a shot. You really are excited, aren't you?" His voice softened as he tried to match her enthusiasm, noticing how her eyes sparkled with joy.
With an infectious smile, Dalia nodded eagerly, her tail swishing behind her with anticipation. She leaned in closer, brushing her lips against Percy's in a brief but sweet kiss, a tender moment that left him blushing.
"Now that's my little wolf! Now let's get to the restaurant!" Dalia exclaimed, her excitement surging as she pulled Percy along, her grip firm on his hand as they made their way toward the entrance, hearts racing in unison.
"Hey! Why did you stop calling me Gamma?" Percy asked with confusion.
"Because I am now your Alpha and I will call you whatever I want!" Dalia said as she playfully punched Percy in the shoulder.
All Percy could do was pout as he and Dalia made their way to the restaurant.
***
Percy and Dalia arrived at the restaurant. Percy was holding Dalia's gold bag in his hand as they walked in.
"Welcome! To Bao'Hai..." The host noticed that the two weren't dressed in the traditional clothing of a lord or lady. "Can I help you?"
Dalia looks around the room. It wasn't too crowded, so they should have a good chance of getting a table. But she wasn't used to everything being so clean.
"My name is Dalia! I would like a table for two!"
"We don't serve your type here at Bao'Hai. Can you please leave before things get unpleasant?" the host asked.
Dalia turned toward Percy and pushed him up to the desk where the host was.
"Lady Dalia, what are you doing?" Percy whispered to her.
"I am going to make sure that we get a seat. If we don't, then I will tell them exactly why they shouldn't allow filthy humans in their restaurant," Dalia said with an angry tone.
"W-What!" Percy began to panic about how bad things were going to get if Dalia didn't get her way.
Dalia pushed Percy all the way up to the annoyed host. She then took her bag from Percy's hands.
"Mr. Percival has been traveling for weeks without proper attire after the goblin horde destroyed our convoy, so if you would be so kind as to look past our appearance, it would be greatly appreciated!" Dalia said to the host as she dropped the bag of 500 gold pieces on the desk.
'Where did this version of Dalia come from!?' Percy thought to himself in a surprised state.
The host looked at the coins and then back at Dalia. "Um... Yeah, well, um... That may be bu-." The host was interrupted by his manager, who was a dwarf.
"Horace! Can't you see this poor soul has gone through so much to come here! We need to show him some common sense and compassion. Don't question him!" Padera said to Horace.
"But she's a Wolfki-" Horace was interrupted again.
"Horace! Haah! My apologies, Mr. Percival. Please come with me to one of our VIP rooms as an appreciation for braving the goblin horde to dine with us. My name is Padera. Come, this way, Sir." Padera opened the door to the dining area.
Dalia grabbed the bag of gold with a smile on her face, and Percy followed behind the manager with a confused look.
"Grrrr... Padera is too soft! Why would he let a Wolf-kin into our restaurant?" The host said to himself as he manned the front desk.
Padera led them down a hall and into a small room that was decorated beautifully. There was a long wooden table with chairs set around it. The walls were covered in tapestries that showed scenes of nature and beautiful landscapes.
"Please sit and enjoy your meal. I will bring out your orders shortly." Padera said as he walked away.
Dalia and Percy sat down at the end of the table. Percy couldn't help himself but stare at Dalia. She was dressed in a beautifully off-shoulder mini-dress that clung to her form. Her body was athletic and toned, with a perfect ass and a pair of big breasts that showed off her cleavage.
Dalia noticed Percy staring at her and gave him a wink. Percy blushed and smiled nervously.
"Hmm. I think I can get used to human lifestyles..." Dalia said as she looked around the room.
"You know Lady Dalia... You're amazing when you want to be. That was quite a performance you did earlier," Percy said as he was trying not to stare.
"Hehe! Gamma, I never thought in my wildest dreams that I would fall for a human as my mate. Maybe I was meant to be human?" Dalia asked Percy.
"No. You're special as you are. Don't ever change." Percy said back.
"Oh ho! So you want me to come over there and claim you?" Dalia said with a smirk on her face.
"Yes!" Percy said as he was looking forward to having her on top of him.
Dalia giggled and stood up, "You'd better watch what you wish for, little wolf. You might get what you wish for." She spun around and ran towards Percy. Dalia jumped onto the back of his chair, turned around, and straddled him with her hands on his shoulders.
Dalia leaned down and kissed Percy passionately. Their tongues intertwined with each other. Percy felt a hand slide across his chest and grab onto his shirt. It pulled him closer to Dalia. His hands slid under her dress, and he cupped her ass cheeks. Dalia moaned and pushed herself against him.
They broke their kiss. Dalia was panting, and Percy's pants were already bulging. They both stared into each other's eyes as they played with each other.
"Hehe. I think I can't be without you, little wolf. You're so warm and hot. I wonder what it would feel like to have your cock inside me," Dalia said as she unbuttoned her shirt and slid it aside.
"Mmm! Oh yes!" Percy moaned as his eyes were glued to her big tits. The bra that she was wearing was very tight and hard to remove.
She slowly removed it from her breasts, revealing her round boobs in front of Percy's face. Dalia reached behind her and unhooked her bra. Her breasts popped out and bounced a few times before she dropped the bra on his lap.
"OHHHH!!!" Percy moaned as he stared at her breasts. They were huge, bigger than Bell's. Her nipples were hard and erect as they pointed straight out.
"I'm going to fuck you, little wolf. Do you want that?" Dalia said as she let go of his shoulders, opened his pants, and pulled out his raging boner.
"YES!!" Percy moaned as he grabbed Dalia's waist and guided himself into her.
"Nagh! Gamma! You're so big! I've never been this full!" Dalia moaned as Percy kept sliding his dick into her.
"Ahh! I love how warm you are!" Percy said as he started to move faster.
"Gah! So good!" Dalia moaned as she wrapped her legs around Percy while feeling him pounding her inside with a vengeance. "Aungh! Fuck me harder!"
"GHAHHHHHH!!!" Percy yelled as he felt the best he ever did. His cock was buried deep inside Dalia's pussy.
Dalia ran her hands all over Percy's body, squeezing his biceps and grabbing onto his neck. Dalia started moving her hips and riding Percy like a horse, arching her back while pulling Percy's head into her breasts.
"Oh yes! Harder! Faster!" Dalia moaned as she bit her lip.
"OHHH GAWD!" Percy moaned as he came inside Dalia.
"FUCK YES!!" Dalia screamed as she also climaxed.
Afterward, Percy fell backward, his arms holding onto Dalia.
"Hehe! Haah... You are the best Gamma!" Dalia said as she kissed Percy on the lips.
"You're pretty amazing yourself," Percy said as he blushed.
*Knock!*
*Knock!*
*Knock!*
"Oh, crap! Dalia, get your clothes on. Here," Percy said as he threw his cloak over her.
"You're so nervous about other people seeing our love?" Dalia asked, confused.
"We'll get kicked out!" Percy said as he stood up.
"Jeez. Okay okay! This is one thing that bugs me about you." Dalia said as she got dressed.
"What? Why?" Percy asked as he put his pants back on.
"Because I would have fucked the hell out of you!" Dalia said as she laughed.
"Dalia, please," Percy said as he blushed.
"Okay, okay! How do I look?" Dalia asked before they heard.
*Knock! Knock! Knock! Knock!*
"Come in!" Percy said as he sat in his seat while Dalia sat next to him.
The door opened to Padera and two other wait staff. They were carrying in trays of delicious food of all sorts.
"Good afternoon, sirs and madams. What we have for the main course today is a chicken stew with vegetables and potatoes. For dessert, it's a peach crumble with ice cream. The wine tonight is a Cabernet Sauvignon from the Fiafyr Mountains." Padera said while setting the tray down on the table.
"Thank you." Percy and Dalia said as they both got up and grabbed their forks.
Padera smiled and nodded, "Is there anything else we can do for you, Mr. Percival?"
"No, thank you. That will be all." Percy said as he grabbed a plate of stew for Dalia.
"Very good. Please ring that bell if you need anything else, Sir." Padera and his waiters bow before leaving the room and closing the door.
"Aww! This is what I smelled! It looks so good! Hey! Little what are-" Dalia started to ask as Percy cut her off.
"It's a hug! Just a little one! Do not worry about it," Percy said as he picked up Dalia's hand and kissed the back of it.
"Hehe! Gamma!" Dalia said as she blushed bright red.
"Here, try this." Percy took a forkful of chicken and brought it up to Dalia's lips. "Go on, try it."
"I-I don't know... Maybe..." Dalia said as she looked at the fork.
"Just take a bite! The food tastes better when sharing it with someone that you love." Percy said as he pointed his fork at her.
"Y-Yes!" Dalia said as she took a small bite.
"Mmff!" Dalia moaned loudly. 'UH! It tastes like heaven! What did you put in this?'
"Whatever it is, keep doing it!" Dalia said as she took another bite and snuggled closer to Percy.
"You are adorable when you smile like that," Percy said to Dalia as he bit into a potato.
"Yeah? Well, you're cute too! You've got that serious face thing going on!" Dalia giggled.
"Oh, I think you might be wrong about that!" Percy said as he winked at Dalia.
This flirting went on and on for the rest of the afternoon. After they were close to finishing their meal, Percy and Dalia heard footsteps getting louder, and all of a sudden, an elf came walking through the door wearing an adventurer's outfit with a cloak on.
It was Nieren, and when she went through the door, she came into the sight of a wolf-kin feeding a human mouth-to-mouth. 'W-What! What is she doing!?' Nieren thought as she looked at the female wolf-kin kissing a human.
The wolf-kin noticed Nieren looking at her and stopped her kissing mate. "Hmm? Who are you? Do you know who she is, Gamma?" Dalia asked Percy, who was just as confused as she.
"I don't recall seeing another elf before?" Percy replied to his girlfriend.
"My name is Nieren! And I have something urgent to tell you!" Nieren said as she walked up to them.
Dalia shifted her weight and gracefully slid off Percy's lap, her expression a mix of curiosity and concern. "What is it?" she asked, raising an eyebrow as she turned to face Nieren.
Nieren's voice trembled with urgency as she spoke, her eyes wide with fear. "That dark elf! She's been captured and collared by the Black Rose Mercenaries! I don't know what they are going to do with her!" She ran a trembling hand through her blonde hair, frustration and desperation etched across her features.
Instantly, a gravity filled the air between Dalia and Percy. Dalia, well aware of the terrifying truth behind enchanted slave collars, felt a chill run down her spine. Those collars could strip a person of their will, binding them to the cruel whims of their captors. Her heart ached at the thought of such an atrocity befalling another soul.
Percy narrowed his eyes, the name Nieren had just spoken echoing ominously in his mind. The Black Rose Mercenaries—if there was one group that sent shivers down the spines of kings across kingdoms, it was them. Renowned for their brutal efficiency and a chilling disregard for life, they were infamous for toppling thrones and leaving chaos in their wake. He had learned of their dreadful reputation during their perilous journey to the Tomb of the Horde.
If only they had been aware of this threat sooner, perhaps they could have taken a stand against Marcus and Duke Alaric. But with Marcus now dead, that chance had slipped through their fingers, leaving behind a sense of futility.
The reality of the Black Rose's presence weighed heavily on him, a dark cloud looming over their every move. He exchanged a grim glance with Dalia; both understood the chilling implications. Rya was in trouble, and they needed to act.
"Are you telling us the truth about Alpha getting collared? How do you know this?" Dalia asked Nieren.
"I-I was keeping tabs on her because she is a dark elf. But then the Kings Slayer came out of the brothel with Rya collared! We need to help her! Please! Help, we must save her!" Nieren begged.
"I wish we could take your word for it, Miss Nieren. But we'll need to see some evidence." Percy said as he stood up.
"Take us to this place where she was collared. We'll believe you once you show us, blonde!" Dalia said as she started to walk towards the door.
"Fine! But you better keep your word, dog!" Nieren yelled back to Dalia.
"Ha! That-" Dalia began to say, but was interrupted by Percy.
"Lady Dalia. Please calm yourself. She could be telling the truth." Percy said as he placed 15 gold on the table.
Nieren nodded. "Okay, follow me! Don't make me change my mind!" Nieren snapped back.
Dalia gave Nieren a glare and followed her out the door.
