Arpious of the Planes

This meant crime was a given due to clashing races with elves most likely taking the side of the sun drakes, but besides that, everything was bright and beautiful.

The streets were clean and glimmered with happiness from each corner of the momentous occasion of various races living in peace together… mostly.

But my next objective was to see what the adventurer guild was like and when I appeared before it, my jaw practically dropped to the ground.

The massive marble and quartz building with towering pillars and a dozen floors stood before me.

"Why is this place so massive?"

It was similar in appearance to the adventurer guilds on the Plane of Twilight, but its gargantuan size was so big that I couldn't help but gawk.

While the guilds in my empire were massive and had one floor, these had slightly smaller floors but with so many that it made the thing look like a palace.

"If you're gonna stare at the place, then move, bitch," A knight pushed past me with the rest of his buddies snarling at me.

They acted all tough as they walked into the guild, and I couldn't help but smile as the group was actually mixed with demons and elves.

"Even they can get along somehow," I smiled and just brushed off the charade of an ant since there was no point in fighting back against them… as they would be nothing but pulp if I wanted to get back at them.

As I walked into the guild, it was grand and crowded, as expected, but they also had a few employees directing traffic as if it was a road.

There were different parts of the room, such as taking quests, meeting with the receptionists to ask whatever question you could ever need the answer to, and also just hanging out with your buddies and grabbing a drink.

"Hi, yes. Is there anything you need?" The receptionist asked as she filled out a previous paper quickly with one hand and then prepared my very own sheet with her other hand.

Is this some kind of record? They have quite a good system going on to prevent and also catch criminals.

"I was wondering if I could speak with the Guild Master if possible… is there somewhere I could possibly meet him or her?"

The receptionist paused both of her hands and then looked up at me with some disbelief as if she couldn't believe what she had just heard.

"You cannot meet the guild master, unfortunately. You… unfortunately, are not qualified," She muttered coldly after drifting her eyes up and down my body.

This little shit…

I was about to manipulate her with one of my skills as she split her attention across the two papers, but all of a sudden, a familiar woman came out of the backroom from the long and wide desk separating the customer and receptionist.

"Jane, it's fine. I know her," The woman muttered, and as she stepped out of that door, the air in the room practically had a noose tightened around it.

"*sigh*... So it was just as I expected… Ysal appointed you such an important decision…." I muttered under my breath.

As the almost obnoxious chatter slowly died down as everybody stared at the glimmering woman who was in quite a revealing dress, I found soon found myself sitting down at one of the wooden tables.

We both had a cup of coffee in front of us, but as Loath looked around at the nervous wreck of a guild who kept staring at us, she then sighed.

"Let's go somewhere more private," She muttered.

Yet, before we could leave, the same receptionist I had been talking to approached us without hesitation.

"Your highness, please let me attend to you in your meeting," She kindly requested.

"Do what you want… let's go," Loath muttered before dragging me up the only flight of stairs in this stuffy place, and soon I found myself in a room with one large wooden desk and a few bookshelves lining the room.

The sun drake receptionist brought out a spare chair and pulled it straight in front of the desk where Loath sat behind.

"Would you like coffee or tea, miss?" The receptionist quickly changed her attitude, but as my cold eyes scraped against her, she took a step back.

"Anyway, let's get to business… why the hell are you here? Just go visit Ysal… I'm sure that's what you came here for anyway,"

"Uh, yeah… lemme kill this woman… she said I looked like a bum," I muttered, staring and sinking my pair of eyes straight into her skull.

Her frantic glances between the uninterested Loath and me were pitiful, but I didn't say anything more as Loath soon dug her own eyes into me.

"Then don't dress like a god damn bum…." Loath muttered under her breath before turning to the sun drake. "Anyway, you're lucky I'm in a good mood right now. Otherwise, I would've fired your sorry ass already… nobody is allowed to meet me, yet you made it sound like it was her appearance that made her unworthy,"

"I-I'm very sorry, miss… please let me make it up to you," The sun drake bowed, but I didn't even give her a sliver of attention now and just ignored her, deeming her just literal air.

"Alright, hurry up! You ruined my time with Ysal and made me come here…" Loath muttered, and as her dress shifted, I noticed the lipstick marks along her neckline.

I couldn't help but chuckle before speaking up.

"You have power over the military, right?" I asked, with Loath lightly nodding and taking a sip of her coffee.

"It's slight… but I can make it bigger if need be," She smiled.

"Then, help me clear out that spooky-ass forest we have on this plane. I want to uncover each and every secret that place is hiding because from what I've seen, there has got to be more than what we know on the surface level,"

"Interesting idea… but why come to the guild master rather than the queen or Ysal?"
