Drakiania's POV;
Walking behind the chubby noble who's hand was healed by me so as to not raise any suspicion, the whispers of the maids and soldiers who patrolled the hallways drifted in and out of my draconically tuned, human looking ears. On the outside I wore a gentle simple smile, when I had come up with this plan I was at a lost for how to act. A servile attitude who enjoyed being below others just wasn't a Supreme Being thing. So after I had expressed this concern to Demiurge, he gave me the very good example of our Overseer, Albedo. So she is my role model of sorts, down to the way I walked, bowed and carried myself as Kia. It was a mirror image of Albedo, with the gracious help of Pandora's Actor, I mastered the art of mimicry in less than 2 days."Hey, who's that new girl behind the Head of Trade?"
"Did you see her eyes? So pretty..."
"Nah, she has a killer figure. You should go for it bro."
"Is she a gift? You heard the rumours about the Head of Trade haven't you?"
My gentle and calm smile never faltered, okay... Drakiania, like Albedo. Calm, cool... very cool. Collected, do not bother what does not bother you directly. Though similarly to Albedo, the smile did not touch my eyes, which were pools of crimson that pierced the back of the noble's skull. We were being escorted to the Emperor's study, where he was, by 4 guards and for some reason, 2 maids. These maids seemed a step up from the regular maids though, their dressing more refined and made of better quality, they seemed prettier than your average village girl and wore gloves like Sebas'. The same went for the guards compared to their peers... they must be the Emperor's personal man power force. The walk there was silent among the group, the silence amplified the sound of my heels striking the marbled floor, a force of habit as a Supreme Being, and the mutterings of the common work staff.
I could feel the multiple sets of unwanted eyes trained on me, roaming my entire figure. Hunger, jealousy, admiration, lustful. They all disgusted me, but for the sake of the plan, I balled my fists tighter, hiding them by burying them deep in the folds of my dress. The smile never left my face. I'll get my chance soon...

"Ah, it's the Head of Trade. Funny, we were just discussing about you." The smirk and malice in the sentence was evident and unconcealed. The foreign voice belonged to none other than the Bloody Emperor. I kept my gaze trained on the floor beside his feet, "[False Reading;Appraise Magic Item]. [Greater Maximise Magic:Total Conceal]." I muttered the two spells so softly, no one even noticed that any magic had been casted, thanks to my disguise, any flashing that the spell would usually produce were all muted and unnoticeable. I slowly raised my eyes to rest on the rather old mage. That must be Fluder Paradyne, our prime target. Magic hungry and deranged about knowledge. The old man's eyes were trained on me in curiosity, then curiosity shall be his downfall.The other people present in the room were the Baharuth Empire's strongest, two of the Four Imperial Knights. Leinas Rockbruise and the acting leader; Baziwood Peshmel. Ahh great, the two people on the top of my 'to sway over' list is right here... Lenias the one who will willingly betray shoud I provide her all she needs and the power crazy grandpa... The other two of the Knights were not important enough for me to be bothered with, and Baziwood shouldn't prove much of a problem, or so as Demiurge had deduced anyways. Leinas and Baziwood were looking at the noble in annoyance, my guess is that they were talking about important things. The noble's clutch on the fancy envelope, that enclosed my information tightened, reducing the previously crisp paper into a crinkled mess. "Your Majesty. I have come baring a gift, I realised that I am indeed wrong and would be most grateful if you would forgive my lapse of common judgement and sense."
The Emperor threw his head back, laughing uncontrollably, his action shook the very couch he sat on. Baziwood decided to speak up,"Head of Trade, I do believe that His Majesty would not take in a slave for any reason, even if it is indeed a gift as you have claimed." Leinas nodded her head in agreement with her leader, "But we are in no position to refuse an extra pair of hands. Especially if this girl proves that she is capable of handling herself in battle... Your Majesty, please allow this girl to join the military then."
