Grand Dad Is The Pervert God
123 Shall we go get your sisters back?
While both Barons were trying to settle their issues, far off from the Viscount's territory, two group of guests were coming from either sides.
Far off on one side, it was a host of soldiers on soul horse beast back.
They were dressed in full body silver armour. This included their mounts too.
There moved at a steady pace and in the hands of some of them, high flags flew in the air.
The flags that flew in the air were of two types.
As a good study of the kingdom Dan was, if he had seen these flags, he would have instantly known, that one of them was the Kingdom Flag, and the second one was the flag of the royal family.
But not just anyone in the Royal family. It was the flag of the king himself.
.....
On the other side, advancing for the Viscount's territory, a group of people moved in the shadows.
They all had masks of different types on their faces, and they dressed in black clothes.
When they moved, it was like the passing of a gust of wind.
......
Meanwhile, everyone in the hall had heard it loud and clear.
Eros had asked his grandson for a little box.
Naturally, every one concluded that Eros had lost this little but obviously important competition. This included Viscount Peter.
It was common knowledge that Eros was a very broke Baron. He even had to borrow money to fix his sexual problem.
The only thing his territory was good for was the port, and even that was usually infested with Pirate activities.
Nobles were a people that loved to preach fairness but only when it suited them.
In a situation where both nobles of equal or nearly equal standing were after the same thing, it balled down to who had the stronger fist or the deeper pocket.
This was one such example.
Baron Bolos had brought out a chest of Bronze coins.
If he should win this competition, and the Viscount should take his side, then it meant that he could even well take over Eros's territory.
This was actually the Baron's aim.
After all, it meant that he was more competent.
However, if Eros won, it meant that he could take back his grand daughter.
But as it stood, regardless of the Pearl Eros had presented, there was more to be done.
This was not more that Eros would shy away from.
After all, he was a man of wealth.
Dan nodded and hurried out of the hall.
In only a few seconds, he was back, and in his hand, was truly a little box.
It was so little that it was just the size of Dan's palms put together.
This box was wooden and it did not have any special appearance whatsoever.
"Thank you," Eros collected the box from him.
"Viscount Peter, word reached me about the little Orphanage you are trying to put together for the less fortunate. It's little, but I hope you don't mind my humble contribution to your good cause."
Hearing Ero's obviously shameless words nearly made the nobles in attendance cough up a mouth full of blood.
That was just too shameless.
Which Orphanage!?
What time?
Was Viscount Peter even that kind of person that was ready to sacrifice money from his pocket for an Orphanage?
Everyone already knew the answer, but no one made attempts at talking.
After all, Eros could play this game any how he so wished to.
This was public bribery coated with the umbrella of birthday gifts and Charitable donations.
Viscount Peter like the others in the room including Baron Bolos believed that Eros had already lost.
However, a low subtle golden shine came from the little box the moment Eros opened it.
"HUH!!!"
The crowd gasped in shock at what they saw.
All the attention in the room was immediately arrested by the content of the box.
"Is that...." Viscount Peter's voice trailed a little, "is that real gold!?"
Eros nodded.
Having gold itself was not a problem.
The true problem was in the ability to get gold coins.
The Almace Kingdom was broken out of the old golden empire.
From that time till now, the kingdom still used the same kind of coins.
This allowed for easy trade relations with other countries that were previously under the Golden Empire.
As many knew, the secret to making these coins was only known by the royal family.
A hundred bronze coins was equivalent to one silver coin.
One hundred silver coins was equivalent to one gold coin.
This was the currency dynamic in the country.
This box Eros had presented might have been small, but to everyone watching, it was the most important amongst the two.
After all, the box Eros presented was filled to the brim with gold coins.
The value of the box in Eros hands could easily topple the box that Baron Bolos had brought. in fact, it could topple three of it.
Viscount Peter immediately and shamelessly took the box from Eros's hands, "ahh! I did not know you had already heard about my Orphanage plans. This is so generous of you. you are really a good man," Viscount Peter had a very shameless smile on his face.
As Eros handed him the box, he pulled his grand daughter closer by the arm.
Dan watched the proceedings and was enlightened further about the happenings of nobles and about the world at large.
Baron Bolos frowned tightly at this. He could not believe that he had lost to Eros in terms of wealth.
This was like a horrible dream to him.
Dan immediately rushed to hug his sister.
After which Penny jumped into her grandfather's embrace.
It was a fond reuniting moment for them.
she was so moved that tears watered down her eyes.
Baron Bolos looked at Eros in the eyes, "don't get it wrong, this is not over!" He turned and stormed out of the ballroom.
Just then, some men pulling along some creatures in chains inside a cage walked past.
Amongst them were various exotic soul Beasts.
Although these creatures were of the low grade, they were still exotic creatures.
Amongst them, a few Nagas and Medusas in chains around their necks and blinds on their eyes were pulled along.
Amongst them was Diana who was Shade's sister.
They all looked tired and worn out. This was obviously because of a lack of contact with the Sacred pool for too long.
The moment they entered the room, Amanda and Shade noticed them.
Shade immediately ran for the cage. However, one of the men pulling them along stopped her.
"I am sorry ma'am you can't touch the merchandise!"
Hearing those words nearly put her in a rage.
Her hair flared up like it had a life of its own.
At the same time, Diana also sensed her presence with her snake tongue that hissed in the air, "SISTER! Sister is that you!? Please!!! Help me! Help me Shade!"
Eros saw this and immediately rushed for Shade that was already losing control of her emotions.
Eros pulled her by the waist and whispered into her ear, "Shush.... Calm down! Calm down sweet heart! We will get your sister and your people. But we will do it the right way. But if you don't settle down and they know you are also a Medusa, it will not end well for anybody and you won't be able to save them. Do you understand!?"
She still wanted to flare up, but for some reason, Eros's voice had a calming effect.
Amanda walked up to Shade and also embarced her.
She too had entered a raged state the moment she saw her people on chains.
However, Amanda held back her impulse to act.
Her palm had even molded into a tight punch that allowed her sharp fingers dig into her skin.
However, she held back as best she could.
Amanda and Shade were actually of the same age. However, Amanda became a queen at an early age.
She had learnt to be more in control of her emotions.
Tears ran down Shade's eyes and Amanda hugged her deeply.
"Don't worry! We will get them. We will get them all!"
As she spoke, her eyes were on the men leading the Medusas and Nagas away.
Those were the men of the Black Axe Guild.
Her hatred for these men was deep and ever growing.
Even Eros by their side felt the chill in her eyes.
*Clang! Clang! Clang!*
Viscount Peter beat his glass with a spoon.
He had a nice feminine smile on his face. Almost like a young girl that had just been teased by her lover.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I want to thank you all for your presence and generous gifts on this joyous occasion that is my birthday. As many of you know, we have some very interesting things for your night to filled with glee. Without wasting any more time, I will please ask that we all move to the auction room for the next phase of the night. I hope all your wallets are ready to spend generously. Because, in here, we only have the best. Also, for those of you that have items of interest you wish to auction out, I suggest you present your items to the auction master. Thank you all for your time."
The moment he was done talking, the crowd gave a round of applause.
Eros turned to the women with him, "shall we go and get your sisters back!?" He asked with a cocky smile.
