Chapter 443: Hot And Cold Mixed With Crazy
She stormed into the room as the gathered attendants bowed low, a knee hitting the floor with passion.
The elf queen ignored them and instead walked straight over to where Laz was standing. It was clear that she didn’t care about whatever had gone on before she had arrived.
"Come with me, NOW!" She said before turning around and walking out of the room.
"Well then... I guess I will be back soon. Jill, take this time to focus your mind and use the technique I showed you to start absorbing the surrounding energy. In fact, all of you should since the energy here is much purer than what you would find back on earth. Troy, watch this guy when he wakes up and don’t let him do anything stupid again." Unlike how Laz would normally operate, he decided to give out some orders and advice before he went to follow the Queen. While he wasn’t trying to control everyone, he did need them to focus on something other than the situation in case someone tried to be ’smart’ and got them all in more trouble.
"Will do boss," Troy responded back before looking at his pack mates. Ava and Red went to the door and stood there while Kels went to around the middle of the room. As the strongest ones there besides Laz, their presence would give others pause before trying something. Even if they would be destroyed in a fight with the attendants, at least this gave the room the feeling of security.
Laz nodded his head in approval before leaving the room, never once glancing back at the golden haired elf who was still bowing for her queen.
After Laz left, Genevieve rose from her position and beckoning the others, they left to follow the queen, leaving the room in silence. While the trays of food looking delicious, no one wanted to be the first to try it.
Considering the didn’t have the same worries and Laz hadn’t said anything to the contrary, Jill walked forward and grabbed a small, purple fruit that looked like a strawberry and popped in into her mouth. The little bit of sour mixed with a lot of sweet causing the young girl to smile in appreciation. Seeing everyone look at her in shock but not move, she went to sample another and another in hopes of quelling her hunger.
Seeing her eat so eagerly and still be alright, everyone else put down their concerns and starting trying the strange fruits themselves, much to their personal pleasure.
While the werewolves would normally eat meat, they tried the fruits themselves since that was all that had been offered. While it wasn’t meat, they all agreed that it was quite good.
...
Laz followed behind the fast walking Queen, neither in a hurry nor being lazy. While his pace wasn’t enough to keep up with the queen, the attendants walking beside him guided him on where to go. At some point the golden haired elf had caught up and was walking parallel to him on his left while another was on his right. Then there were two in front and two behind.
’Damn... they aren’t wearing anything underneath and yet.. strangely... nothing shows,’ Laz thought to himself, observing the behinds of the two women in front of him. Since he was just following along anyway, he had focused on the butts of the two elves who walked in front. In Laz’s defense, they were hard to miss thanks to the toned muscles that showed just how much training went into to having such a full back side.
"Pig..." came a voice from his left.
"Excuse me?" Laz said after turning to face her.
"I’m sorry sir. Did you need something?" Was the only response he got back from her as her green and yellow eyes found his.
"Right. Let’s go with that than," Laz responded with a helpless smile. He knew she had made that statement, but there wasn’t anything he could do about it.
Besides, he had been staring at their asses.
As they kept walking, Laz began sneaking glimpses of the other elves, wondering again at just what kind of training they did to get such tight and toned ass muscles. Of course one had to keep in mind that the elves surrounding Laz, the queen’s attendants, were all over six feet tall. The tallest was actually the one on his right at almost seven feet from what Laz could measure with his eyes.
’If I could market this and sell it outside...’ Laz thought.
’Oh the income from just middle aged women alone....’
"EYES FORWARD SLIME!"
Laz again turned to face the golden haired elf who again appeared innocent as she turned her head again to look at him. Just before she asked her question though, Laz spoke.
"You all are in great shape. Is that a racial trait or do you do some kind of special training?"
Genevieve was shocked as she didn’t expect this question out of all the things she would have thought he could have asked.
"We go through a rigorous training and diet regimen each day," Genevieve responded, her training towards etiquette getting the better of her.
"I can see that. Well developed glutes, thighs, calves, and abs. No excess of fat... well except for the obvious," Laz said, being slightly tactful at not mentioning the women’s breasts although he really wanted to ask as to how they kept those things abundant while being virtually fat free everywhere else.
’Overall body fat is one measurement and yet somehow she has an impossible amount in just that one area.’
"Target training. And with our strict diets, it is impossible to consume more energy than we use."
"That makes sense. And yet..."
"Yes. It seems strange that somehow our busts are not affected by the low body fat index?"
"Yes! Exactly! I want to ask how but obviously I don’t wish to intrude on any secrets that might not be proper to ask about." Laz was a bit of a workout fanatic thanks to a certain someone so this topic interested him.
"It’s no secret per say. It’s just..."
"ENOUGH!"
They had arrived at an enclosed courtyard, one surrounded by stone columns that stretched up several stories into the air. The columns were evenly spaced around the outside perimeter, making it appear like a room without a roof.
’Why did she bring him here?" Genevieve asked herself while remaining stoned face on the outside.
"All of you, leave us," the queen ordered, sitting down in a chair and waving the attendants away. They quickly bowed low their goodbyes before taking off, with only Genevieve looking back one last time before closing the wooden doors that blocked the open courtyard from the hallway.
Laz couldn’t help but sigh, seeing the queen sitting down while he stood there and waited. He didn’t know what she wanted, but felt like she seemed a bit impatient and therefore would tell him when she wanted too.
For her part, the queen simply reached over to a small, ceramic bowl sitting on a dark wood table next to her, grabbed something out from within it and ate it, all while ignoring Laz.
Laz didn’t say anything and instead just waited.
After about five minutes of this, Laz didn’t lose his patients, but didn’t want to waste his time either. Instead of saying something, Laz just shook his head and turned to walk to the door, completely ignoring the queen.
"I didn’t say you could leave."
"I don’t really care. I came here to be courteous but that has it’s limit. Now I am leaving unless you have something to say."
"How did you get here?"
"I went to sleep, woke up and here we were."
"That’s ridiculous."
"You’re telling me? It’s not like there was as gate door anywhere around us when we went to sleep. And yet when we wake up, we are inside of one."
"A gate door?"
"Yes. The door that lead us here is what we call a gate door. Except unlike the last one, this one seems to be only one way in and no way out, unless I am missing something. Your warriors kind of interfered while I was looking."
"So there aren’t humans on the other side to pull you out?"
"Of course not."
"Are there other humans besides yourselves"
"Trillions... although maybe not like me. But there are a lot of us."
"So what other species are still on the planet?"
Laz didn’t know how to answer considering the various types of animals alive. But after thinking about it, he knew she wouldn’t care about that.
"None," Laz responded, matter of factly.
"None? NONE?"
Laz suddenly felt he had said the wrong thing as a late stage void lord aura spread out from the queen.
"HOW COULD THERE BE NONE? WHAT DID YOU DO???"
"There has never been anything other than humans on the planet that we knew of... well not until recently. But that’s hard to explain..."
The queen took a few deep breaths, her bosom swaying up and down with the effort as it looked like they would burst through her dress any moment considering she was simply wearing a loose fitting yet thin sash that simply swayed around her body without actually touching her. It was only with her heaving breaths that her breasts pushed against the thin fabric., causing their outline to be clearly seen.
"Fight me..." The queen said, keeping her teeth clenched tight.
"I’m sorry?" Laz said, clearly confused as it looked like the golden haired beauty was trying to control herself.
"I said FIGHT ME!" she roared as her foot hit the ground, propelling her forward straight towards Laz faster than even he could see.
Her rather weak looking fist buried itself deep into Laz’s stomach and he was sent flying.
"FIGHT ME OR DIE!"
