I gently dropped the wine on the table and questioned "So how much is your payment?"

A haunting smile instantly dawned on her lips, and I could see it. The calculative eyes of a woman who knows what it means to run such a business, and the experience to back it up.

"You slept with the best and most satisfactory woman we had to offer, and she's worth about 500 gold coins" She calculated, pointing at the first I slept with, who still hadn't woken up yet.

I murmured under my breath with a snicker "If she is your best, then you have to do better".

Her brows cocked upwards. "If she went through the same thing I had gone through, then I don't blame her for her inability to satisfy you. Besides, she is more than capable of making any customer cum below two minutes, no matter who is it".

"Yet, I was the one that made her cum under one" I responded, childishly.

This time, however, she didn't give me a reply and merely continued with her calculations.

"For the rest of my new workers who are yet to start, you took all five of them so that brings it up to 550 gold coins" She added "Now, for me. For every hour we spent together, you agreed to pay 5,000 gold coins. And judging by my time…."

She stood up and walked towards the edge of the room, to where her clothes were flung and brought out a small pocket watch from her blouse breast pocket.

"Oh!! My.. My" She tore her lips tore open into an exaggerated smile as she walked towards me, still naked and fully displaying her incredible assets, thus offering me a mouth-watering view.

She sat down on a couch opposite mine, crossed her legs and used her right hand to squeeze her motherly breast before pulling on her nipples and then, she raised her head and looked at me with a mischievous expression.

Without looking below my waist, I could already guess what caught her attention. Nevertheless..... "So how much is my total payment?" I asked.

She looked at her pocket watch and replied "This is currently 8 am. And the last time I checked, I came to this room before 1 am at midnight. So, if I multiply eight hours by 5000 gold coins, that brings us to.... 40,000 gold coins. Adding it with the rest of your bills, that is about 40,550 gold coins".

I grabbed the bottle of red wine gently and swiftly poured its remaining contents into my mouth.

"That is a lot of money" I responded. Even though I was still adapting to this world's trades and its currency, I wasn't a fool to not know that it was a huge amount of money.

Well, I am a fool for accepting it in the first place, but - - -but - -

Ah!! I have no reason.

Well, now that I am a bit clear-headed, and have fully relieved myself, I don't have to worry about my brain losing all its blood to my dick.

The sex was good, but I will have to make sure paying for it was a one-time thing. With my skills, it shouldn't be hard to accomplish that.

But first, I would need to survey the kingdom and see if any princesses need saving, or mothers looking to reignite their youths.

"Ah!" I breathed out in relief and anticipation.

….…. Damn it! I can feel my brain losing more blood.

"Yes it is, but that was an agreement we made remember?" She responded, clicking her tongue against her inner cheeks.

And had I bothered to continue staring at her expression, I would have caught the frown on her face and her sudden change in sitting position.

But I didn't. I placed my hands into my coat pocket, where I have kept my money, and pulled out five golden notes.

I flashed it before her eyes before I placed it on the table.

"You - -Y-ou have the money?" She questioned. Her legs moved faster than I could respond and, in an instant, she appeared near the table, and swept the notes off into her hands to confirm their authenticity.

I stared at her and watched as her eyes went wide open before she snapped her head towards me.

"Who are you?" Though her voice was full of curiosity, the cautiousness in it could not be hidden.

But, that was to be expected, because I just pulled out five notes worth 50,000 gold coins as though I was paying for groceries.

"Me…" I stretched my hands and pointed a finger at myself dramatically "I am just a pirate" I added.

…....…..

"A pirate?" Celia asked with a frown. "Are you part of Crimson blackeye crew?".

Although her question was valid because the only pirates she knows of in the kingdom all fell under the banner of Captain Crimson eye. Despite that, the tension around her suddenly tightened the instant she assumed that the half-naked man in front of her was somehow related to the ruthless pirates terrorizing the borders of the Cryptic sea.

"No, I am not. I and Captain Crimson eye are nothing more but acquaintances" Prince Wyatt replied.

Yet, she didn't feel relaxed.

Regardless, she nodded as it would be bad for her to suddenly gain the ire of someone related to such a person.

Meanwhile, Prince Wyatt felt the temperature in the room dropping and decided to change the conversation.

"So does that mean that your payment is complete?" He asked.

She nodded her head in response, feverishly "Yes, it is. But I still have to give you your change" She replied.

"Alright" He stood up and walked behind her, pressing his long erected dick in between her ass and watching as it slid down towards her pussy.

"But don't worry about the change, I will be using up the remaining money for a quick morning sex" He added.

Immediately, Celia showed a wry smile on her lips as a familiar hand pinched her nipples. Sure the sex was good, but from her previous experience with him, she knew that he was insatiable.

A quick sex probably meant riding her ass till his energy was spent up.

…...

"Stomp!!" Her legs pressed against the ground covered in snow and dirt, leaving a deep imprint on them like every other person navigating their way through the snowy path.

High above the ground, on a visible mountain far away, she could see a castle. A castle that is so grand and high that she couldn't see the rest of it that was surrounded by foggy clouds.

When she heard that they were building another castle, she didn't think that it would be this grand, considering their current circumstances. Her brows wrinkled as she pierced her eyes down the mountain, looking at the several wide buildings and structures below it.

With a snort, she shook her head. "Sometimes, I wonder if she is stupid or not. She might be the miracle queen, but I guess her miracles makes her lose her brain cells in return".

In her view, the Miracle queen is nothing but a pitiful excuse for a ruler!

During the emergence of the moonlight's ice, she had the chance to use this opportunity and monopolize the fall of the kingdoms surrounding her, for the betterment of her people and herself.

But yet, what did she do?

Power, wealth and authority were given to her by the emergence of the moonlight's ice, on an altar of diamonds, gold and silver. Yet, all she chose was selflessness and goodwill. How could she - - How could she believe such a thing?

The moment she saw that the other kingdoms weren't able to survive the strange phenomenon, she flung her gates wide open, allowing both her friends and foes, rivals and oppressors into her kingdom, and denied them their fates of turning into another icy sculpture of ice and magic.

Of course, she had heard the news of the Miracle queen's obsession to cure the region of the 'Moonlight's ice' and allow for the other kingdoms to thrive in hers. However, she couldn't believe it. No, she found it hard to believe.

To her, there were three options; Either the Miracle queen's heart was so pure that she couldn't see a person suffering in their times of need, and could not be tempted by the sins of this world or she had something plotting within that castle of hers that she built outside the reach of everyone, or... She was a fool.

She shook her head once more, scattering the thoughts within her head and watching as the people around her went about their day.

She breathed in and exhaled peacefully, Her breath turned into a fog and escaped together with the cold winds that drifted around endlessly.

She suddenly halted her steps and turned in the direction of an alley. Walking towards it, she didn't slow down her steps even after cutting several corners until she reached a dead end with a massive wall blocking her advances.

Turning around and staring at the snowy empty alley in front of her, she flared up her mana, and spoke "Come out!".
