By evening, most of the dispatched beastmen had arrived. Some were stationed at various points across the city, while the rest gathered at Nina's place.
Yarin looked at Nina, his eyes wide with curiosity and awe. He nudged Dio. "Hey, is that unbelievably gorgeous female the boss's female lord?"
Dio frowned and scolded him, "What do you mean 'unbelievably gorgeous female'? You should address her as Lady Nina."
"You guys call her Lady?" Yarin asked, bewildered.
"What of it? Lady Nina is incredibly strong. You better show her absolute respect from now on, otherwise, the boss and the rest of us will personally skin you alive."
"Got it, got it," Yarin muttered, though a hint of envy slipped into his voice. "Man, what kind of crazy luck does the boss have to find such a beautiful female lord? Do you think guys like us ever stand a chance?"
