In the next few days, the Mage Tower was always filled with a strange atmosphere.
Although Yalusel is still trying to maintain his usual arrogance, the guilt revealed in his eyes cannot be concealed.
Every time she meets Ayesha by chance, all the muscles in her body will tighten at a speed visible to the naked eye. At the same time, she will be highly nervous, panicked, and even actively choose to avoid it.
There is no doubt that this self-righteous woman not only failed to cause trouble for the other party as she wished, but instead allowed the other party to get rid of her in one go.
Nowadays, the Iron Princess of the Kingdom of Cormyr is like a frightened rabbit.
He was afraid that other people, especially Zuo Si himself, would know about what happened on the sofa.
As everyone knows, Zuo Si has already watched the whole process several times from the perspective of appreciating "art", and even made detailed descriptions of the various psychological techniques used, the step-by-step rhythm control, and the reactions to touching different sensitive parts.
Analysis and comments.
If the previous teasing of Yalusel was more spiritual, then now he can even use a more aggressive method to make this dissatisfied princess completely abandon all self-esteem in a few minutes.
and integrity.
In addition, compared with Yalusel's nervousness and panic, Ayesha is completely okay and still maintains her usual reserved, intellectual, and gentle image of a good wife and mother.
It is completely different from the previous situation when he relied on his rich skills to defeat the former in the process of prostitutes and was unable to fight back.
The most important thing is that judging from her extremely stable mental state, she doesn't think there is any problem with this at all.
I have to say that it was beyond Zuo Si's expectation that things could develop to this extent.
It wasn't until he peeked into Aisha's memory and thinking and figured out her true thoughts that he realized the huge difference in cognition and habits between women in Kalin shirts and women in other parts of Faerûn.
If women in other places regard marriage and husbands as partners, relatives, and lovers, then they are more inclined to regard these two as a responsibility, a contractual relationship, and a long-term meal ticket.
For most women in Kalinshan, learning the skills to please men, giving birth to children, and using their bodies to provide him with various stimulating services are essentially fulfilling their contractual responsibilities.
Men, on the other hand, are responsible for supporting themselves until death according to the contract.
Even if one day they grow old and lose their luster and cannot make the men they serve become sexually interested in them, the latter must maintain their original support.
Otherwise, this kind of scum will be disgusted, despised, and ostracized by the entire Kalingshan society.
It is precisely because of this that when men in the upper class of Kalin shirt show off their power and wealth, they are different from Amn merchants who like to make charitable donations. They prefer to tell others how many wives, concubines and slave girls they have.
This is not like some superficial men in modern society on earth showing off their abilities in a certain area.
On the contrary, he is telling the other party that he can afford to support so many women until they maintain a decent and even luxurious life until they age and die.
Of course, the above situation only applies to rich people.
Wives from poor families should work and work as well.
It's just that from the moment the wife starts making money to support the family, her husband loses the right to find a second woman.
Unless the husband suddenly makes a fortune, it can ensure that the wife does not have to work again.
In other words, the relationship between Kalingshan's husband and wife is closer to a transaction than to emotion or love.
The fact that women remain loyal to their husbands or masters and tolerate them finding other women does not mean that they do not want to pursue freedom and independence, nor does it mean that they do not like those young and handsome teenagers.
Just to ensure that I and my descendants can have a good living environment.
After understanding Aisha's underlying thinking logic, Zuo Si stopped paying too much attention to the slightly complicated and subtle relationship between the two women.
He didn’t deliberately expose it to embarrass Yalusel, but chose to acquiesce.
Because after a series of preparations, he will finally be crowned the monarch of the Amn Empire.
Even Bernard, who funded various rebels in Sambia and bought various industries at low prices, came all the way back.
Since the airship has opened a direct air route to Ximen, it is much more convenient for him to come back than when he went.
At least there is no need to cross the entire Dragon Coast plus the West Heartland region, and then start from Baldur's Gate and take the sea route to Askatra.
When he returned home, this successful businessman who was in the prime of his life first saw his wife sitting in the living room teasing their son, his father-in-law and his best friend.
"Ah! You're finally back, dear Bernard. I've heard all about it. You've been doing everything you can to control the oligarchs of Sembia."
Babette Nasiva stood up first and gave Bernard a warm hug.
As he grows older, the heir to the Nasiva family looks significantly more mature, and he also wears a large number of magic items.
You don’t need to ask to know that all of this is related to Zuo Si’s vigorous promotion of the popularity of magic.
Ever since they realized that the previous way of making money by relying on monopoly expansion was completely unworkable, every powerful family in Ammu began to actively change their direction, began to pay attention to training young people to become arcane spellcasters, and actively got involved in related industries.
After all, with the Sword of Damocles hanging over your head, if you continue to make money crazily and become richer and richer, you will be no different from a pig being fattened to be slaughtered.
So how to quickly spend some money to remove yourself from that dangerous list has become a science.
Since they have always been close to Zuo Si and have engaged in a lot of cooperation and interest binding, the Nasiva family decisively chose to develop in the direction of arcane magic.
Not only did he send the six smartest and youngest juniors to the academy to receive mage training, he also signed a contract to become a second-level dealer, selling low-level items, scrolls, and potions produced by the academy and the mage tower to the Maztec continent on the other side of the sea.
residents.
As the current head of the family, Sir Kelvin firmly believes that as long as he always follows Zuo Si's footsteps, the Nasiva family will never appear on the blacklist that frightens the upper class of Amn society.
To this end, he even sold many properties in Ascatra, including shops, warehouses, manors, etc.
Bernard smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Stop making fun of me.
You should know that all this has been arranged in advance, and I am just the executor.
By the way, I heard that many big things happened in Amn during the time I left?
How did the Parliament and the Council of Six fail in the power struggle?
And how did the Shadow Thief split into two parts from within?"
There is no doubt that when Bernard left, everything in Am was still fine.
But it didn't take long, and when he came back again, the place had completely changed into something completely different.
Whether it’s the huge airship floating in the sky, or the market that has prospered far beyond the limits of cognition, or the man who once came to Askatra from the south with him, but is now about to become the emperor of the Amn Empire.
Zuo Si.
Because the change happened so fast and suddenly, Bernard stayed away from home for a long time and did not have time to go home to see it.
Therefore, for him, the violent sensory impact was like turning everything upside down.
"My brother, it would be a long story to talk about these things. To sum it up in one sentence, Lord Soth's growth speed and strength have far exceeded everyone's imagination."
Babette sighed slightly and told everything she knew about the situation.
In particular, it focuses on describing the massacre of the Quant family in Salem, the split and bloody internal fighting of the Shadow Thieves Guild in Amn, and the recent dozens of powerful families that were forcibly split up.
About half an hour later, after Bernard received all this information, his face turned pale, and he asked in a slightly trembling voice: "You mean... these are all secretly planned and manipulated by Mr. Soth."
?"
Babette quickly shook her head: "No, I didn't say that.
But he is indeed the biggest beneficiary of this series of events.
And I suggest you call him Your Majesty instead.
Because when the coronation ceremony is over, he will become the supreme emperor of the Amn Empire.
Not only that!
He will also marry the Shan Empire in the south to complete the merger of the two great empires.
Do you know what this means?
This means that His Majesty Soth will become the most powerful and powerful person in Faerun.
The power he possesses is simply unmatched by other noble lords or kings.
We must change our previous attitude and show humility and awe.
Because all families that did not do this because of their youth or other reasons have now either declined or disappeared."
Sir Kelvin nodded with deep understanding: "Babet is right.
Although you have an extraordinary friendship with Mr. Soth, please do not rely on this.
Quite the opposite!
You need to be extra respectful to keep this precious relationship going.
To be continued...
