Chapter 20: Friends of Friendship (5)
The slightest mistake can lead to fatal punishment.
"If you fail your mission, you'll die!" her mother used to cried out, but here, Amber saw that many slaves who had successfully completed their missions would also be executed for no reason, just out of the whims of the succubus women.
It's a chaotic world.
As a human being, it is not easy for her to survive in such a world, because she is always learning the new laws of this world, especially the most fundamental rules of survival in the dark world, that is: submit to and curry favor with everything that is stronger than her, and ravage and trample on everything weaker than her.
But Cass was an alternative to the darkness she had encountered, and on the surface, he had a lot in common with the succubi and drow who believed in the law of the jungle, but there were some essential things that were very different.
He didn't seem to belong to the darkness, he would frown lightly for her, he would pretend to berate her coldly, and he would even draw a knife at her for no reason, but when her life was really in danger, he was completely different from what most of the underworld people do - fleeing alone, and rushed to save her, and fought and injured powerful monsters for her.
Thinking of this, for the first time in her life, Amber felt that she had other things to do in this life besides revenge and revenge, which was also something very important to her.
The Maserati mistress was distraught, and the recent series of unpleasant events had pushed her patience to the limit, many things were unexpected by her, and she resented the recurrence of this uncontrolled phenomenon.
Cass failed in his mission but was rescued by Šiventam, the priest he sent to Šiventam was returned, and the Drow envoy sent by him was hunted down by demons...... This series of uncontrollable events are stimulating and challenging the authority of the Maserati mistress and even her dominance, and she feels that she cannot continue like this, otherwise she will lose the favor of Queen Rose and be replaced by her daughters who are eyeing her.
In the Drow society, the matriarch cannot abdicate, and the abdication of the matriarch can only be achieved in one way: the old matrium dies and the new matriarch takes the throne.
Although she knew from the first day she took this seat that she would die sooner or later, she tried to postpone that day as much as possible, and she was always on the lookout for any possible attack from behind.
After all, she is currently in the prime of life, so the chances of her daughters rebelling are not particularly high, and under her rule, the Emma family is experiencing unprecedented strength, enjoying supreme honor and status, but because of this, those families below the rank are all keeping an eye on the back of the Emma family, planning to kill them all the time.
If they are not careful, they will suffer the fate of extinction.
However, in terms of their current exposed and hidden potential strength, no lower family has dared to launch a surprise attack on them and bring about their own destruction. Most importantly, she is favored by Queen Rose, which is the foundation of Drow's survival. However, Rose is moody, and the slightest mistake can cause her to be angry, causing her and her entire family to suffer great losses, especially when it comes to dealing with their ally, the succubus, and the delicate balance must be carefully grasped.
At this time, the charming nun Demi sent a human envoy to deliver "ornaments", and the Maserati mistress knew that there was bound to be a lot of trouble. After a moment of hesitation, weighing all the possibilities she could think of, the Maserati mistress slowly walked out of her inner chamber and went to the parlor to meet Ambelle, who was already waiting there.
At the first sight of the Maserati mistress, Amber felt a strong tremble, a great inferiority, and the two feelings converged so that she involuntarily saluted the Maserati mistress, and the maids used to salute herself, which made Amber blush after she came to her senses.
She herself belonged to the ancient aristocracy of the human race, and she had long been exalted in the sky, accustomed to shouting at her subordinates, and accustomed to the worship of others, so that even when facing the three radiant nuns in the underground palace of Dillaville, the liaison between her current master, Mecansut, to whom she was now actually loyal, and herself, she had never felt so inferior.
But when faced with the matriarch of the Drow First Family, the strong woman Maserati who is second only to Side Tam in status and power among the dark elves, Amber can't control her emotions.
The Maserati mistress was pleased that every time she appeared, she had a certain intimidation to most of the visitors who visited the place, making them feel and fear her mighty presence. Seeing Ambell's submission gesture, a contemptuous smile appeared on the face of the Maserati mistress.
"This is an ornament that Sister Demi ordered me to send. Ambell tried to compose herself, and as she spoke, she handed the box in her hand to Gwyneth, who was standing nearby.
Gwyneth looked at her mother's eyes and immediately summoned a drow male and ordered him to open the box.
The valet meekly opened the box, and the glow of the jewels inside soon illuminated the gray hall, but the dark elves instinctively turned their faces away from the glare light.
"Close the box!" said the Maserati mistress.
The drow manservant had closed the box as soon as the other had spoken, and the hall was once again dark.
"Is this Demy's gift to us?" asked the Maserati mistress, staring at Ambell, with a hint of anger in her voice.
"Yes, yes. Amber replied fearfully.
"Well, they thought so well that whoever wore these ornaments would be the most conspicuous target in the dark. The Maserati mistress sneered.
Amber lowered her head, not daring to answer. These shiny jewels are beautiful decorations for humans and succubus women, but they are not very practical for Drow. Although the Zhuo women are also very fond of beautiful ornaments, and their decorations are also very exquisite, they will never shine such a light in the dark, which is undoubtedly exposing themselves to the darkness and reminding others of their presence at any time. For Drow, who likes to hide himself in the dark, these shiny trinkets are a deadly threat. Sister Demi, who knows the habits of Drow, why would she let herself send such an ornament to Shama City at such a sensitive moment to provoke the suspicion of the other party? Those succubus women are really incomprehensible.
The Maserati mistress has already seen the intention behind the Radiant Sisters' move, and the other party is just testing where the bottom line of their patience is, so as to determine the distribution of their respective interests in the war against the surface world. She had put up with them for too long, giving them too much wrong information, and the other party might have thought that without the help of the succubus, Drow's re-attack on the ground would still end in failure. Even if this was a fact, the Maserati mistress knew that she could not continue to endure like this, otherwise, they would serve as an advance party for the succubus's conquest of the surface world, and the real benefits they could obtain were very small, which was definitely not what Queen Rose wanted to see.
