Chapter 180

ISIDORA

“Now you

you think you matter because you’re disciples of a powerful Estingia?”

EX 55 vouchert

I heard that mocking little tone even as I climbed the enormous staircase to the upper levels, places I had never set foot in before.

“Are you going to ask your teacher for a loan so you can bid on a better room? Or maybe your little friend Isidora?”

My gaze found the group of Estingias at the far end of the landing, the four of them standing like a pack of hyenas in front of Karla and Mikaela.

“Pft, everyone knows Isidora is poorer than a sewer rat. She works at the greenhouse like hired help…”

“I’m going to smash your mouth in, you idiot!”

“Lady Karla.”

My voice came out razor–sharp as I stopped her, and she turned her dark eyes toward me, the anger in them settling the second she saw me.

Mikaela was holding her by the arm.

“Dora…” she muttered, like she was asking me for help and worrying about my feelings at the same time.

Those spiteful eyes slid toward me next. Obviously, the fact that Master Legna had chosen us was bothering them.

“It’s those squires,” I heard Elessia mutter under her breath.

Of course.

Those women were only repeating whatever their ladies said.

“I see everyone’s very worried about how much money I have in my pocket.” I stepped in front of the four of them and let the sharp edge of my Estingia aura slip out.

They stiffened.

They hadn’t taken part in the insane ritual–orgy that had amplified our power.

“We’re only saying it’s better to keep your expectations realistic and your feet on the ground…” Before that redheaded girl named Zara could spit out any more poison, I reached out and grabbed the collar of her

uniform.

She went rigid, alarm flashing through her pale eyes.

“Wh–what are you doing…? Fights are forbidden in the hallway…

“My expectations are very realistic. So realistic that I can guarantee whatever scraps Daddy gives you to fund your little princess life here won’t be enough to compete with me.”

I shoved her back into the others, who stood there just as stunned as she was.

A shocked silence hung in the air.

Before they could react, I walked through the open doors.

“Karla, Mikaela, Elessia, are you waiting for a damn engraved invitation?”

I growled, knowing very well Blaze was following right behind me, and I would bet anything he was staring down those stupid girls‘ slaves with ice in his eyes.

They were still clinging to those childish old habits, mocking and humiliating whoever they thought stood beneath them.

Apparently, they still hadn’t realized that the higher you rose in this Fortress, the uglier the dangers became.

That kind of novice hazing should have been left behind already.

My eyes

hardened when I reached the enormous hall.

Several chairs had been arranged in the front row, with more seats behind them.

A large dais rose at the far end, the stone wall behind it left bare, though above it hung rolled tapestries.

Whatever they showed was still hidden, waiting to be unfurled.

Blaze stopped by one of the side walls, that intimidating mask on his face and his golden eyes promising trouble.

He never stopped watching me.

Never stopped searching for anything that might become a threat.

My silent, lethal protector.

Elessia sat in the seat behind me, receiving hostile looks and giving them right back.

I had told her not to waste saliva or anger. Soon enough, we would speak with actions.

Finally, my other friends sat on either side of me in the first row.

Their squires hadn’t come with them, but their slaves stood near Blaze and the enormous floor–to–ceiling window that filled the whole chamber with cold gray light.

The other four idiots took the first–row seats farthest from us, as if we were carrying some contagious disease.

Chapter 180

“Idiots…” Karla huffed beside me, annoyed.

“Dora, you shouldn’t have paid them any attention. I heard those rooms are expensive.” Mika held my hand with her damp one.

When I turned to her with a reassuring smile, she suddenly let go, and her cheeks went red.

Her light gaze dodged mine quickly, and all at once I became aware of the memories from last night too.

At least some of them. Others were still too tangled and blurred in my

mind.

“Have I ever said something I couldn’t follow through on?” I asked her quietly, with a sigh, not wanting to dwell too much on the things we had done while drunk on pleasure and on the rush that came with gaining

power.

Although I suspected Mika and Karla had been hiding that kind of attraction between them long before the ritual… Or maybe they had already been that way with each other.

I didn’t know, and I didn’t care. Their private lives were theirs. They were still my good friends. That was all.

“Isidora, I know it’s annoying, but it’s not worth losing your savings over a better room. They say all of them are good.”

“But I want the best.” I looked to my other side, at Karla.

She didn’t avoid my gaze the way Mika had, but she still looked a little self–conscious.

“And I want both of you close to me so we can plan everything better. And no…” I lifted my hand when she opened her mouth, already looking like she wanted to argue.

“I just want to know one thing. Are you willing to work for me if there’s a chance to make money?” I asked, thinking fast, because footsteps were already approaching from the doorway.

“A chance?” Mika repeated, looking at Karla, her eyes lighting with expectation.

“It’s greenhouse work. Nothing weird…”

I was thinking about asking that horny old woman to let me teach them at least the final stage of making the Tonic for Novice Estingias, because it drained too much energy, and I could share part of my earnings with the two of them.

I wouldn’t give them the whole formula because it wasn’t mine, but they could refine the Tonic with me, and that would help them control their power too.

Everyone would win.

“We accept. Of course we accept,” Karla said. “And even if you need our help, you don’t have to give us anything, Isidora. You only have to ask. You know that, right?”

“Of course I know.” A smile full of affection curved my lips.

I hadn’t regretted trusting them. Not once. In life–or–death situations, we had never left each other behind.

“New Moon Estingias, it is time for you to rise into your new status and position within the Dark Fortress”

That voice, echoing with the sound of steps until its owner stood before us on the dais, sounded very familiar

It was the warrior who had received me the first time.

Her eyes swept the room, and I could have sworn they lingered on my face for a second, but I didn’t want to be arrogant enough to assume it.

“I won’t keep the distinguished ladies long. We will begin the bidding for room assignments right now. All the rooms are good, but some come with privileges the others do not.”

The hall doors shut with a heavy thud, and the first auction I had ever taken part in began.

“Here are the options…”
