Chapter 652 Obtained
As they left the restaurant, Wolfe noticed the dirty look that Rail was giving him, and decided that tempting fate on the last day of his visit to this Kingdom probably wasn't a great idea.
"Alright, I'm ready for the tongue lashing. But I will warn you, I don't know what I've done wrong yet." Wolfe informed her.
"Don't know what you've done? When you're wearing a debt promise from a princess on your wrist? I know you have a way with women, but wasn't that a bit far, even for you?" The angry little succubus demanded.
"I didn't demand that, she panicked when she thought a stranger was going to take her away. I'm sure that she will sort it out soon enough when she isn't worried about being abducted. Besides, it appears that she's some distant relative of Queen Jasmine's and that woman is kind of scary."
Rail smiled. "You aren't wrong on that one. But she's a wrath Demon, they're supposed to be scary. I wonder if Nimue is going to suddenly get big like that, or if she's going to stay Dryad sized?"
Wolfe shook his head. "She's short for a Dryad as well. They're usually taller than I am and very slender. So, she's likely going to get taller at the very least. But maybe not quickly. Dryads age very slowly, I'm told, and they take most of a century to reach adulthood."
"So she's not even an adult?" The source of this content can be connected to n0v3lb!n★
Wolfe patted Rail on the head. "I get where you're going with this, but she passed out because of the exhaustion from the process, not the sensation. Even if she was a pure Demon, she wouldn't have been an adult, I think. It's a bit difficult to tell, but I'm pretty sure she's not that old."
Rail gave him a suspicious look, and Wolfe leaned forward to plant a kiss on her forehead.
"Has anyone ever told you that you're adorable when you're jealous?" He asked.
"Cut that out. I'm not falling for your tricks, Wolfe Noxus," she insisted.
"She's five metres tall. The common area might be better, this floor has smaller rooms."
The young Hybrid clapped her hands on her face, slapping herself out of her frozen state, and got to her feet. Wolfe took her hand in one of his and Rail's in the other, then let the Succubus lead them out of the room.
"Ah, Patriarch, welcome. Rail, it is good to see you again as well. And this must be Nimue. You can call me Jasmine, congratulations on your good health and advancements, I would have come to see you right away, but I was in meetings and my idiot cousin was quite excited to get to you first." Queen Jasmine greeted them.
Wolfe smiled back at her, but made no other greeting as his hands were full.
"There is a multispecies sitting room on the next floor up, how about we move the meeting there?" He suggested.
"Yes, of course.
The sitting room was more of a relaxation area for the Investigators, so there was a foosball table, ping pong, billiards and a collection of comfortable seats to chat or read, but it was perfect for their purposes when nobody was there to make noise.
"Where should we start? I'm sure that you know at least a little about who I am, and I've heard the basics of your story from your Uncle, so I suppose that I will begin with the most basic of questions. Where would you like to go from here? We can bring you back to the Palace and set you up with a proper trust fund as a minor Royal. Or now that your advancements are proceeding at such an astounding rate, we can set you up on a fast track to a higher paying Noble job." Queen Jasmine suggested.
Nimue hesitated for a moment, then looked at Wolfe. "I would like to stay with the Patriarch. I owe him, and it wouldn't be right to just ask someone to pay off my debt with money, no matter how much they have."
The Queen nodded her head, making the chains hung from her long ears jingle.
"That is understandable, and quite noble. I had intended to send some people with him when he returned home anyhow, as payment for services I intend to request, so you could be among proper tutors and still pay off your debt."
Nimue looked confused. "Tutors?"
Jasmine nodded. "Definitely tutors. Anger management, magic, combat training, weapons skills, dance. Just the basics, plus whatever trade or hobbies you'd like to pick up."
