To be honest, if I said I wasn't salty about that, I would just be lying my ass off, but as of now, there were more important things to accomplish.
"Uh huh… well- oh, how about we watch the documentary made on Tolf. That was pretty funny to watch," Athena lightly chuckled.
"I mean… sure, as long as the little girl wants to watch it," Auntie Electra shrugged.
"I don't really care,"
"Then it is decided!"
The rest of the night was quite fun, but I couldn't stay up past two in the morning and eventually fell asleep in Athena's lap, her hand still slowly stroking my hair.
She was comfortable and a familiar face that I immediately got attached to from the get-go, so if she ever needed anything, I would probably do pretty much anything for her.
Her praises were nice to hear after being away from my mothers for so long, and her warmth was like that of mommy.
She was somebody I knew could take care of me all the way until I woke up, and that is what I loved about being with her.
The highlight of this trip to this incredible place wasn't Auntie Ethel or Auntie Electra, but the woman who practically rules the underworld within this city of water
While Auntie Ethel ruled the top part, Athena came and ruled the lower part, making sure not much corruption was being spread but letting just enough slip through so the place wouldn't grow content.
Tolf worked off the fact that there was corruption across the world, and by managing dirty businesses that get all of the dirt on their hands for them, they basically become an octopus or jellyfish.
They have multiple tentacles leading to multiple sources of power and income, but if need be, they can easily cut off one of their tentacles.
And just like an octopus or jellyfish, it will grow back faster and stronger each time, only swaying its power for just a split second before they continue to keep an iron grip on the underside of this corrupt plane.
Although they can be a bit hypocritical sometimes as if they're trying to offset some of the imbalance that comes with being the ruler of such corrupt beings.
Some have charities that help the homeless, and some create cities that are completely tax-free due to the endless wealth of Tolf, but due to their status and power, nobody can oppose them, even within a neighboring government.
They all rule their cities with absolute monarchy, yet people are fine with it as their living conditions are too great.
The way they managed everything was amazing, and when compared to my past life… they definitely were much better than me.
…
"Miss, it's time to wake up," my maid lightly shook me all the way until I just barely managed to creak my eyes open and shift out of bed.
My maids helped me change into the usual formal clothes that were suitable for sparring, but only after I took a cold shower and brushed my teeth, though.
"Miss, if you are struggling to wake up, I suggest drinking some tea or possibly a cup of coffee,"
"Mm… I'm fine… Today is the last day I'll be here anyway," I muttered, but just as I was about to step out the door, it opened by itself.
Auntie Ethel stepped in with Athena beside her, causing me to smile lightly and my drowsiness to practically evaporate from my body.
I ran towards Athena, and as she received me with a warm hug, I could visibly see Auntie Ethel frown ever so slightly.
"Goddammit," She muttered while Athena chuckled, slowly stroking the top of my head while we just stood there in the middle of the doorway.
"Girl, aren't I your real aunt?" Auntie Ethel asked, ruffling the top of my head before gesturing for me to follow as we made our way downstairs for breakfast.
As it was my last day here, a massive platter of food was made just for me, but I barely ate any of it since, in reality, I would most likely puke this up later during training.
"Hey, no need to hold back. We're not training today… don't you want to enjoy your last day here?" Auntie Ethel asked as she sat across the table.
Over the course of the past week, I had been training with Auntie Ethel and Athena, but most of the time, just Athena since my aunt was normally busy managing various things.
She put me through a variety of training sessions, but I wouldn't say any of them were harder than the ones that I had in the previous city of gold, whatever it was called.
My uncle was so strict during the training sessions that sometimes I attempted to skip but was caught by his lackeys almost instantly.
I mean… it was worth a try, at least.
"Then where are we going?" I quickly asked, this time scarfing down all of the food that would most definitely make me sick later on.
But without the training, I wouldn't have to puke it up, and I could fully enjoy this meal without the stress of such a horrible act happening later.
"It's up to you… you can pick whatever you'd like to do. Your mother isn't here, so I would recommend some exhilarating stuff,"
"Hmmm… Well, there has been one thing on my mind, but I don't know if you'll let me do it…." I slowly trailed off, knowing I might need to pull the puppy eyes out.
"Go ahead and say it. As long as it is within a reasonable capacity, I will fulfill any wish that you might have… but I do want something in return,"
"Huh? You do? What do I have to give to you?"
"I'm sure you're well aware, but normally two women can't create a child… yet here you are… and I and Athena have been thinking about adopting one for a while, but after seeing you, we knew we had a another option,"
"Ah, yes… I understand… I'll talk to my mother about that then,"
