Zorat, alongside both ladies, appeared inside his underground accommodations.

Even with the advice he had given, that they quiet their minds, Kaelara still looked like she was about to pass out as her mother held her in support.

Liora also looked woozy, but she was in a much better condition than her daughter.

Zorat had confirmed earlier that she was in the grandmaster realm, though only at the early stages; it was still impressive, subject to the standards of this world.

That would explain how she was able to withstand the burden on her soul while being exposed to such potent runic flux.

Attacking someone physically with raw rune power is way different from being submerged in it completely.

It’s like having hard liquor poured on someone, as opposed to that person directly drinking it. They are both liquors, but they would do different things to the body.

Teleportation, in essence, is the transference of the body, mind, and soul to a different location. So the soul is touched.

Liora and Kaelara, who had now regained her balance, looked around the space in amazement, wondering where in the world they were.

Being from such a high noble background, the luxuriousness of the space wasn’t anything new to them, but it was still very beautiful and opulent, at a standard that made even them admire.

After a short moment, it now occurred to Liora that they both had just been teleported from that dreary place over to this one.

She didn’t even bother to wonder how; she simply grabbed onto her daughter, laughing and crying at the same time for the freedom they had just gained.

Kaelara was also very emotional at the moment, and she too laughed and cried with her mother, while murmuring that she told her so, and bragging about her master.

Fiora nodded vehemently in agreement, sobbing as she did, while Zorat simply watched from the side.

After a few extra minutes of this celebration of freedom, Liora turned towards Zorat as she fell to her knees, saying.....

"Thank you so much, honored one!..."

"I don’t... I don’t know what I would have done....if...." she muttered, croaking with lingering tears.

"It’s ok. And stop with all the kneeling and honored one...."

"That’s for a different life..... Not this one," Zorat said dismissively.

Liora wasn’t entirely sure what the honored one meant, so she simply obeyed and stood up from her kneeling position and instead decided to switch to calling him ’honored hero’ since it was clear his wish was to keep his identity hidden.

"Um... honored hero...." Liora began speaking again as she looked around her surroundings.

"If it’s not too much to ask.... Can we know where we are.... Is it somewhere outside the capital ?"

As Liora looked around, the place was clearly an underground refuge, probably somewhere within the outer capital forests.

"Oh?..... About that..."

"We are technically still in the palace," Zorat replied, grinning as he enjoyed the look of shock on Liora’s face, while Kaelara did not seem bothered at all.

But he soon saw the look of shock disappear from Liora’s face as she smiled softly before speaking....

"With honored hero here.... I guess it doesn’t really matter where we are," she said meaningfully to Zorat, to which he waved off dismissively, but then he paused for a moment.

Oh...?

A grin spread through Zorat’s face as he observed this needlessly curvaceous middle-aged woman. He did not fail to catch the look in her eyes just a moment ago, and from his vast experience, he knew what that meant.

How very interesting. Hehehe.

Zorat then led the ladies to the stairway up to the cabin, and through the hatch, they came up into the center of his cabin.

While this still took Liora by surprise, wondering which part of the palace grounds she was in, Kaelara was already smiling widely, as she already knew.

Then there was the introduction of the two new arrivals and Zorat’s other two ladies, Myrra and Florielle.

Both showed similarly bewildering reactions on seeing these two new women arrive from the underground accommodation.

Zorat had simply informed them that he needed the space underground for a while, and now he had arrived with yet another woman, no, two women.

While only Florielle recognized one of them, both she and Myrra looked at each other in understanding of what this meant.

Kaelara initiated a conversation with both ladies after Zorat’s introductions, even though Florielles was clearly a maidservant, she didn’t seem to care.

She treated her just as nicely as she treated Myrra, who was an unknown guest.

The person who was still a little hesitant when it came to interacting with Florielle was Liora.

But still, seeing how these ladies behaved freely around the honored one, she understood they were important to him, so she adjusted rather quickly.

Zorat then instructed both Myra and Florielle to lead the two new arrivals through the available amenities in the cabin and help them settle in properly, so they can freshen up and change from their current state to something more fitting after being locked up for two days in that underground cell.

Zorat retreated down the stairway to the underground accommodations, leaving the ladies up there as Myrra and Florrile gladly began to have them settled in, just as Zorat had instructed.

It had taken Zorat quite a while to trace and locate where Kaelara was being held.

And through all that, he always had his void domain spell running, and when he finally found them, he also used his ability to teleport them all into the dungeon, and all this took several long minutes.

Most fights ended in seconds, and the really long ones only lasted a couple of minutes. So if Zorat were to use these abilities in a fight, his foes would be long out of mana and dead before he even felt any mental strain.

But using it for ’reconnaissance’ missions like this stretches what his physical body is currently able to handle to the limit. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Zorat went into the second room in the corner, his legs pressing into the soft beast skin rug until he reached the new, large, and luxurious mattress.

He climbed into the comfy mattress with silky sheets as he allowed his body to rest, drifting fast into slumber.

However, Zorat had barely slept for an hour when he felt the presence of someone enter the underground accommodations and walk slowly and quietly in the direction of his room.

Opening his eyes, he saw Kaelara there at the entrance wearing a simple see-through satin fabric nightwear, looking all hot and bothered.

Her nipples were taut and wet around the areolas, the wetness seeping through her nightdress that barely reached her mid-thigh. Her flawless lower thighs and legs in full display.

Slowly, she disconnected the satin from her shoulders, letting her nightdress fall to the ground, as she stood vulnerably naked before Zorat.

She then brought both her dainty arms to hold up both of her gorgeous, heavy breasts as she muttered heatedly.....

"Master.... Please help me!
