After successfully clearing another section of the eastern forest, Vikram returned to his tent as the sun began to set. Thanks to his recent status upgrade, the tent had been expanded significantly, now spacious, comfortable, and well-furnished, with soft furs, a larger bed, and proper seating.
His three wives had already prepared a hearty meal for him. The delicious aroma filled the air as he entered.
While eating, Vikram noticed there was an extra person in the tent today.
Sitting quietly in the corner was Liora Xavier, the same bold, naughty girl who had once openly rejected and teased him in front of the entire Mist Pack.
Seeing her, Vikram's lips curved into a small, meaningful smile. He patted his lap gently.
Liora's cheeks flushed with embarrassment. She had come prepared to accept any punishment he might give her, just as her sister had warned. Taking a deep breath, she stood up and walked over. Following his signal, she sat down obediently on his lap.
