In another location, the Foxia empire. Maria and the others girls arrived ahead of schedule. Kuina who was eager to meet Alex sent someone to lead the way, they took many shortcuts and for this reason they arrived faster than expected.
Kuina who was expecting Alex ended up disappointed.
Because of it was already evening when they arrived they couldn't meet the empress. Gracier and Luna went to sleep, Incursio disappeared somewhere while Maria got a call from her master Freya, leaving only Sakuya and Kuina alone.
After heaving a sigh Kuina said to Sakuya.
''Let's go to the garden.''
Sakuya nodded before following her and soon they arrived at the garden where they sat around a table and a maid appeared and served them teas.
While enjoying her tea, none of them spoke, it was only after drinking half of the cup that Kuina asked a question which she was wanted to ask.
''Where is Alex and that bitch Saeko?"
Kuina didn't hide her displeasure as she directly called Saeko a bitch as she could smell someone plotting against her.
''That bitch like you called her is probably spending a quality time with Alex somewhere.''
And who is Sakuya? She is a sadist who enjoys watching others people suffering and she wouldn't miss out on an opportunity to enjoy a good show, reason why her reply like that, she replied with a provocative smile and Kuina was too far enraged not to fall for Sakuya's trick.
''What? How it could be? It should have been my turn? How dare that little bitch try to snatch my chance?" Kuina was really furious, she did everything and was waiting for her chance to succeed. She seduced him and made him chose her place as their second destination. She did everything slowly.
Seduction was a process that relied on the foundation of relationships between people. As long as the foundation was good, the rest of the process was simple. In fact, the true display of a rake's skill was seducing the target without using the obvious seduction process!
This was how most targets lost themselves in sudden moments of heat and passion. One moment there would be no hints of lust, and the very next moment, they would start making out like animals in heat.
That was true seduction. Kuina had learned this from her mother and she did everything as she was instructed, normally after leaving the Lionheart Empire, Alex's next stop should have been the Wolfang's Empire as it was closer to former than the Foxia empire located at the extremity of the beastmen continent.
Because of her seduction and schemes she managed to change this, to not have Eris raise any suspicion, she even visited her few times in the guise of planning how to help her advance in her relationship with Alex, Kuina did all those things to be the next woman to unite with Alex and yet she just learned that someone beat her and took the place that should have belonged to her.
Kuina was really angry at this new, she felt like she did all the work while someone else took the benefits of her hard work. Smart as she was she knew Saeko won't be so clever to plot something like that, someone else must have helped her.
''Who helped her? Maria?" Kuina asked after taking a deep breath to calm down. When she thought of plausible culprit, the one whose name came up was none other than the Ice empress. It was not a secret that those didn't like each other as they would constantly get on each other nerves.
''Well, your assumption is not right but I've also suggested Saeko to make a move. You can blame me too.'' Sakuya declared with a smile.
Kuina sighed and didn't say anything else, it was evident that she didn't took Sakuya's words seriously. To ease her anger she decided that she would rather watch the constellations in the sky and Sakuya didn't refuse her invitation.
The two found a nice spot in the garden where they could watch the constellations from.
Constellations ignited the midnight sky as if choreographed upon celestial stage.
Sakuya who was looking at the constellation couldn't help but think that even if this world was a fantasy world, the constellations are still the same. Tonight she saw a well known constellations.
Made up of seventeen stars, the constellation called Melopsittacus roughly resembles the shape of a tiger. It can be seen most prominently high in the Northern sky just before the autumn equinox.
In an ancient society, this constellation was seen as the representation of the god of hope, which is how it received the name still used today.
In astrology, this constellation bears the sign of the horse, those born under it are believed to be dignified.
They're suposed to be a good match with those born under the constellations resembling a spider, dragonfly and triangle. But they don't match well with those born under the trout, lynx and mockingbird constellations.
''Which constellation do you like the most?" Sakuya asked after observing the constellation in the sky.
''I like the Celestia constellation the most.'' Kuina responded before adding an explanation.
''Made up of five stars, the constellation called Celestia roughly resembles the shape of a dagger. It can be seen most prominently high above the Eastern horizon in the middle of spring.
In an ancient society, this constellation was seen as the representation of the god of medicine, which is how it received the name still used today.
In astrology, this constellation bears the sign of the king, those born under it are believed to be forgiving.
They're suposed to be a good match with those born under the constellations resembling a pistol, eye and rifle. But they don't match well with those born under the frog, monkey and bird constellations.''
''Does this mean that you'll be forgiving and let others trample on you without retaliating ?" Sakuya asked after hearing Kuina's explanation on the Celestia constellation.
''Hell, no and I've never said that I was born under that constellation. I may have lost right now but next time I'll win and my place will surpass her, I'm sure, no I'll make sure of this.'' Kuina declared with a mysterious smile and Sakuya couldn't help but shake her head. As she expected this fox girl was very interesting.
Meanwhile, Maria was having a video conference with her master, Freya.
