Izlandi scrubbed her fair skin, she scrubbed her body with determination, it was as if she hoped to get rid of every last bit of the filth, and wanted the perfume to seep deep into every pore of her skin to remove all the smell from the black filth.
'I'll have to ask uncle about this,' she thought, her face was still beet red from the embarrassment of how badly she smelt, 'Hopefully it's not some disease,' she thought with worry and dread at the thought of having such filth leave her body ever again.
As she continued to bathe, her head maid informed her of the events that transpired, the black market auction being the key topic.
Izlandi listened with expectation, she expected to hear that Selner successfully obtained the elf for her, but her expression quickly changed as she heard the head maid speak about the fiasco that went down.
She silently bit on her lower lip to hide her frustration at the change of events, the elf was her final hope, when it appeared in her time of need, she felt like it was destiny answering her prayers.
With the elf in her possession all she wound need to do is offer it to some great noble family or even the royal family and she could ask them to adopt her into their family or for them to give her a special position with some authority.
"Has there been any progress in finding Julian?" she asked the head maid.
The head maid shook her head, "Many of the other members were caught and many of the items were recovered, however Julian had a large head start, he fled the city and hasn't been seen since, there are currently several parties out searching for him,"
"That said Madam Selner has requesting to meet with Lady every day since the auction, she seems to need to speak with Lady urgently, shall I send her a message to summon her today?" the head maid asked respectfully.
Izlandi tilted her head in contemplation, Selner was like her right hand and she was very capable of managing anything she was given to do, so it was unlikely that she would come to her without good reason.
"No need, I'll go down to the city and meet with Selner personally," Izlandi said, as she spoke the maids she sent to get her food returned with a tray of steaming dishes and a goblet of spiced wine.
Izlandi let the maids start scrubbing her body as she happily ate and took small sips of her wine, an hour later she was dressed in a lovely light blue dress and her long black hair was pulled into an elegant plait and fell to the middle of her back.
An hour later Izlandi stepped out of her carriage on the main road the roads were still wet from all the rain apparently the storm had only come to an end the day before, and now with the bright sunlight the city was more lively than ever.
As Izlandi walked she felt lighter than ever before and oddly refreshed, the strange feeling was almost enough for her to forget about her embarrassing morning.
She walked up to a five-storey building and casually pushed it open, she walked into a warm and cosy reception room, filled with bright flowers and lovely scents that washed away the smell of sex that was dominant in most brothels.
Apparently the woman that came here to have affairs, wanted the entry to look respectable and welcoming, as if that would make their depraved acts more classy.
Izlandi rolled her eyes at the thought, sometimes she preferred the simplicity of men who didn't care about such stupid things, all they cared about was the good time, it made them less like hypocrites to her.
The good part about this cosy reception room was that it allowed her to inflate the prices of her establishment, yet her business still had a rapid increase in customers, the number of woman that wanted to indulge in affairs was surprisingly high.
A receptionist quickly came to greet and escorted her up to Selner's office, along the way, Izlandi could hear the sounds of several extremely satisfied customers, who were yelling at the top of their lungs, making all kinds of depraved sounds.
In such a place sounds like that were to be expected, Izlandi continued to move with a plain expression even as she heard a women yelling about how her husband was nothing in comparison to her current adulterous partner, it was an all to common phrase used here.
Soon Izlandi arrived at Selner's office and pushed the door open, when she saw Selner at first she thought that she was looking at a different person.
Her eyes were drooping as if she hadn't slept in weeks, and she looked unusually thin as if she wasn't eating, and her dark skin that usually had a glowing look to it seemed to have lost all its vitality.
Izlandi waited patiently for Selner to greet her, but Selner barely seemed to register her presence and rocked back and forth in her chair.
"Did something happen to you?" Izlandi asked and slowly approached Selner with caution she didn't seem to be in her right mind, so she was afraid of startling her.
As Izlandi grew closer, Selner suddenly opened her eyes wide, "MMMMy Lady," she stammered as if only realising that Izlandi was in front of her.
"My lady f-f-forgive me, b-but he w-wants to meet you, he s-says he can h-help m-my lady" Selner stammered out with her body shaking like a leaf.
Izlandi caught her hands and looked at her seriously, "Who wants to meet me?" she asked with concern, her eyes instantly started darting around with alertness.
Izlandi felt a slight sense of panic as she wondered who could possibly scare Selner into such a state, Selner was after all one of the most level-headed people she had ever known.
"H-h-he does," Selner stammered with her mouth trembling in terror, as she slowly raised her hand and pointed a shaky finger at the door in the back of her office.
Izlandi got up and slowly approached the door.
"NO!" Selner shouted hysterically, "My lady please don't go! H-h-h-he's a m-m-monster!" shudders coursed through Selner's entire body, as she used all her courage to tell her Lady not to enter, once she finished her entire body fell limply to the ground.
Izlandi ran back to her with concern, and heaved a sigh of relief as she found that Selner had merely feinted from over exertion.
Izlandi's hands formed into two small fists as she glanced at the door with a resolute look in her eyes, oddly enough she wasn't afraid, rather she felt an ill-boding sense of anticipation.
With the way her body was feeling since the morning, she felt oddly brave as if she could face the entire world, she hadn't felt like that since her first break through in cultivation.
Izlandi gripped onto the sides of her dress and slowly approached the door, she took a deep breath to calm her racing heart and begun to push open the door.

The 8th day of the 9th month, year 142 080 S.M.
That was the day that I opened the door.
I don't know how to describe those moments, was it fear, excitement or anticipation.
Perhaps it was all three, and then a little extra.
I remember that day so clearly, it was the day that the world started to change for me.
It was the day I spoke to a demon who belonged to the deepest parts of hell.
He was the embodiment of a true demon, within days of knowing him I would open up about my every fear and my every desire, and he offered me a solution to my every trouble.
It was a solution that only a demon without any care for human life could offer, and an offer that I gladly accepted with time to think.
It was such a daring idea, an idea that I had so many times as I sought a way out of my predicament, but that I lacked the ability to act upon.
But he did, he knew exactly what I had to do, and he offered me the solution.
It was a solution that would spell the doom of my family, but I didn't care.
My father had made his stance clear, he was going to have me become a concubine when I deserved more.
If there was anything my father thought me it was how to be heartless.
He was heartless to me so he can't blame me for being the same to him.
And heartless was exactly what I intended to be, the family that I was born to, had a history of 2000 years.
The noble tittle was granted to my family after the last desolation.
And now 2000 years later I would put a pin in my families 2000 years of history, with the help of a monster that came into my possession by chance and changed my entire world.
He reached out and offered me his hand, and I...I gladly letched on his hand with my own.
