Chapter 710 710 Evening Meetings

??Unfortunately for Wolfe, there was more than just one meeting scheduled for after dinner that night, and he needed to be a part of all of them.

The first one on the list was one of the Demon Princes, and Wolfe was almost completely certain that the meeting had nothing at all to do with him, but rather it was about the Prince's desire to court one of the ladies here in town.

All such invitations that weren't warmly welcomed by both parties had been put on hold waiting for Wolfe to intervene as their 'guardian', which for the last few weeks had been working wonderfully.

But now that he was back, all sorts of Demon Nobles would want him to help arrange chaperoned visits with the person of their dreams. Some of them were witches, but a lot of the locals had also referred things to Wolfe because they didn't trust the Demons or the Fae without someone powerful on their side as an intervenor.

"Prince Giles of Gillard, welcome to my home. I do hope that you are enjoying your stay." Wolfe welcomed the Demon to the meeting room.

"Patriarch Noxus, it is a pleasure to meet you. It has been quite the adventure learning about your experiences here in this world from the locals." The Prince replied, then sat across the desk from Wolfe and unbuttoned his coat.

"I will get right to the point, there is a lovely young woman under your family's protection that I wish to court. Mercredi is her name, a lovely young woman with the softest looking ears. She only agreed to meet with me in private after you had agreed, so I immediately scheduled an appointment with your Matriarch Consort to arrange a gathering.

I know that there are many such requests pending with the Festival going on, but I am hoping that we can manage something before I have to return to work."

Wolfe looked at the notes from the potential bride of the Prince, who wasn't really adverse to the situation, and was mostly worried that she would be kidnapped by a Demon if she were alone with him. The reputation of the escaped Familiars and the Demons that used to be Magi had a strong presence in everyone's minds here, and the vengeful Magi who were summoned back from the land of the undead were well known for having exactly zero sympathy for the witches or anyone else.

On the other hand, the actual born demons from the Demon Realm occupied the full gamut of personalities, so there was a possibility that Prince Giles was a decent person.

"Tell me, Prince. Have you been married or engaged before?" Wolfe asked, while Cassie lay a truth charm on the table, so everyone would know if the other party was lying.

"I was engaged, but my potential bride refused the arrangement, in favour of a love marriage." He replied.

"Not because of a shortcoming in your personality?" Cassie asked.

The Prince immediately looked offended, but there was something in that look that said she was right.

"I did not wait for my bride, I was a womanizer all through my youth, and with my age being decades older than hers, as is quite common among the longer lived species, she did not take the news of my reputation well.

I suspect that is why she went looking for a new choice of partner and made sure that the deal was essentially sealed before bringing it before her parents." He replied.

"And do you intend to remain monogamous in this relationship? It is what most of the locals here will expect, despite my own antics." Wolfe asked.

The Demon Prince smiled at him in an understanding way. Wolfe wasn't being a hypocrite, he was just advocating for what the new potential bride would expect.

"Yes, I do intend to. I also intend to help her awaken a Demonic bloodline so that she will have a longer lifespan, more comparable to my own. The Witches here have the power, and if the spell is cast in my home realm, there will be no problem with the defensive wards."

Cassie made notes on his responses to bring to the potential bride, then nodded to Wolfe.

Wolfe smiled at the Prince and reached across the desk to shake his hand. "Alright, we will arrange a meeting. Because of the number of requests, we intend to book an entire restaurant for the event, much like a speed dating event, but without any change in partners.

Many couples will be there, each with a chaperone either from the Guard or from my Pentacles, so that nothing gets out of hand.

Is that acceptable to you?"

"Yes, that is perfectly acceptable. As long as she is comfortable in my presence, the number of other couples with similar intentions in the vicinity doesn't matter at all."

The two men stood and shook hands one more time, then the Prince happily left to get ready for the news of the date's scheduled time.

The next up was the future boss of the Kara Group, who should be bringing Rae with him as an assistant. That should be enough entertainment for a few minutes, and Wolfe was quite intrigued by the sort of Demon that this young boss might be.

The sort of Demons that picked succubi as their personal assistants had a rather lewd reputation in the Demon Realm, and often weren't taken very seriously, but he had managed to get a group of Harpies to accept him as their guardian, so he at least had some sort of interpersonal skills.

"Young Master Kara of the Kara Group, in for his meeting." The guard at the door to the office announced, and two Demons walked in. The first was an Incubus in a business suit, looking very normal and professional, but shockingly, right behind him was Rae, now dressed in a floor length Witch Robe, with gloves on and her hood up.

Compared to the outfit that she had on earlier, the difference was shocking. It might only be to try to impress Wolfe during the meeting, but if he didn't know that it was Rae under the robes by her mana flows, he might have never even guessed that it was a succubus.

She had to be going insane by now, all covered, with even her face hidden.
