The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter 165: Getting a Date

Upon hearing what her secretary had informed her, Mirya remained sitting there on the floor while she had a doubtful look on her face. 'What does this person want with me? Is this one of Viola's lovers, who is confusing things a bit?'

Viola was Mirya's only daughter, and she had inherited her libertine side from her dear mother. But sometimes, some of Viola's lovers thought they had something more than they actually had and started to act like they were her boyfriends.

But that was only they thought like that, since Viola really had no thoughts of being alone with one person... Anyway, sometimes some of these young people acted strangely, even trying to meet Viola's mother, 'their mother-in-law'...

"Did this Minos say why he wants to talk to me? I don't want to waste my time with another idiot bewitched by Viola." She said with a serious face.

She despised men who could not understand their place in a casual relationship. There was no need for the two sides to come together or find out more about other people's problems. That was just sex. There was no need to complicate a relationship like this!

That was what Mirya thought, and that Viola had followed too...

"He said he wanted to do business, but that could only be decided by a person directly subordinate to the Stokes family, who would be you, madam."

"Huh?" She exclaimed in surprise.

'Now I am curious... Ahh, let's see what this young man wants. If he is just another pathetic man, I can just send him away without wasting my precious time!' She thought to herself.

"Okay, make an appointment the day after tomorrow, in the afternoon."

After saying this, she returned to her training while the woman left this place, going back to her chores.

...

Meanwhile, quickly a day passed, and one of Minos' subordinates had already gone to that mansion to find out about the meeting that the young Stuart had requested.

Minos was pleased to know that his request had been accepted and that he could resolve it quickly. He didn't know what ambitions that ruler had, but he was prepared to make a very tempting offer.

After all, he knew how noble families functioned and about the needs of these subordinates...

The deal he wanted to make would certainly not affect the Stokes family's profit in this city. But it could help Mirya's funds a lot...

She was just a subordinate and not a member of the Stokes family, so she was certainly not someone with many resources, just like Minos' father.

In this case, Minos' deal could be Mirya's golden chance. That would be a private agreement between the two, and she could do whatever she wanted, even getting a good slice for herself...

Anyway, the young Stuart was also truly grateful to Viola.

She had facilitated this contact tremendously, which could save him several days of travel. For that, he had asked some of his soldiers to look for her so that he could thank her personally.

And after a while, Minos was finally leaving to meet Viola.

He had discovered that she taught at the spiritual academy of this town on the city's south side.

Viola had accompanied her mother to the City of Waters, and since they were going to live here for several years, she had decided to work in her spare time. After all, they were only subordinates to a noble family, which could not even be considered the highest rank within the Cromwell Kingdom.

With that, the young Viola couldn't help but finding a job for herself. And it was very appropriate for her to be a teacher. She had a high level of cultivation by the standards of the City of Waters, while she had been educated in a more developed region and was therefore very apt for this.

She also didn't like to fight, so working on something that involved her strength was not in her interests.

...

After walking for some time, Minos finally arrived in front of a standard building with four floors. There was nothing extraordinary about this place other than the almost constant noise of children.

Upon arriving here, Minos quickly entered the building and looked for information from Viola at the reception of that place. And soon, he was told where he could find her.

Anyway, Minos went up to the top floor of the building and went to one of the teachers' rooms, where Viola typically stayed.

Once there, he could see that this was not a classroom but an office. It wasn't huge. There were just a few cupboards on one side, with a table in the center of the room and three chairs.

Viola was sitting there, reading some papers, and seemed very focused. She had her hair tied up, but a strand was loose and made her look perfect at this point.

Seeing Viola through the glass door, Minos admired her for a moment when he finally knocked on the door, drawing her attention.

Pa! Pa!

Hearing this, Viola quickly stopped what she was doing, turning her head to the side, so she could see who it was. She had a serious expression on her face since it was usually her students or professional collaborators who came here.

But when she saw the 1.8 meters tall young man, with brown hair and eyes, outside her office, she was surprised for a moment. It was unusual for men to come looking for her here since she always made it clear not to interfere with her work.

And seeing that this attractive young man, whom she barely knew, had come here, she was pleasantly surprised. He wasn't one of those pathetic stalkers, so she wasn't upset that he came here. And Minos' appearance was really in her taste...

Viola then got up and went to see the young Stuart with a smile on her face. "Huh, I didn't expect to see you again so soon!"

"Hmm, I came here because I want to thank you for helping me before."

"Helped you?" Viola said as she motioned for Minos to sit on one of the chairs in that place.

She sat down next to him and then listened. "Yes, I used your name to arrange a meeting with the governor of this city, so that was really a big help for me."

"Oh?" She said, surprised.

Viola did not expect her mother to respond to Minos' request so quickly. She knew it would probably make his contact with Mirya easier, but she believed her mother would wrap him up first.

After all, some of her lovers had already made the beautiful Mirya waste her time before, with useless matters...

"So, I wanted to invite you to dinner with me." He said calmly, looking into Viola's eyes.

"Huh? So, you feel the need to thank me, huh?" She said with a provocative smile on her face. For a predator like Viola, this invitation from Minos was no different from an intimate invitation, and she was even interested in him...

The two looked at each other for a moment, seeming to have a mutual understanding as they did so. She then said ambiguously. "If you want to thank me, I have something else in mind... I doubt that a dinner in this city can thank me more than that."

"Hahaha, and what exactly are we talking about?" He asked with a smile on his face while playing the fool.

"You will know when the time comes..." After approaching the young Stuart's ear, she said it in a low voice, making him shiver.

'This woman knows how to tease someone!' Minos thought about it and then spoke. "In that case, I'm ready for it whenever you want."

"OK, we are meeting tonight. Where are you staying?"

"At the Hotel Dixon."

"Hmm, well, I will meet you tonight." She said this while she had expectations for what was to come.

Viola was not used to being with people of the age of Minos since there were no people as talented as the young Stuart in a place like the City of Waters. For this reason, most of the partners she had were either weaker than her or much older.

In both cases, this was not ideal for her. Either they no longer looked so young and pleasant, like Minos, or they were weak and could not last long... After all, sex is an intense activity, which demands a lot of energy on both sides.

And if one side could do it for much longer than the other...

So, Viola was very interested in this encounter with Minos. A strong and virile young man like him, perhaps he could calm the blazing fire in her body...

"Haha, okay. I'm looking forward to it."

After that, the two parted ways. Minos headed back to the hotel while Viola continued her business at the spiritual academy she worked.
