Chapter 13: Finally, I am Free.
(Celia’s POV)
The line didn’t get any longer, but there were still many women in said line. Even with the number not getting higher, it still took me another month to get through of the women. Thankfully, the last one was now about to be before me.
Faith: “Celia, recruit that woman as a main member.” She ordered.
Celia: “Why?” I reply weakly.
My mind was still numb, so I really wasn’t into doing any complex conversations. Or, at least, I won’t be giving out long replies…
Faith: “Just do it! Have you ever gone wrong with listening to me? Don’t answer that… Accept her already!” She replied with a hurried tone.
Celia: “( ’-’ ~)”
Seconds later, the final woman was in front of me. Her dark red hair was striking, and her similarly colored eyes didn’t disappoint, either. The women that were in line… most of them, even the powerful ones, were all wearing things for protection. Armor, etc.
While this woman, on the other hand, was wearing a pretty red dress. Judging from how she carried herself, she probably wore said dress even while fighting. Ah, I like her already!

Xena: “It is nice to meet you, Miss Celia. I am Xena, and my Domain is Peace.” She said with a respectful curtsy.
Celia: “Yes, it’s nice to meet you as well, Xena. Considering your Domain, I assume that you will be leaving for that safe universe?” I reply, handing her the bribes.
Faith: “Fucking sell your body to her if needed! Celia, you must absolutely have this girl in your guild! She will guaran-fucking-tee that you will survive the game with her on our side!” She said with a hurried tone.
Celia: “Is she really that needed?” I ask with a confused tone.
Faith: “In the future, if you have to go against her in a fight, then you will lose.” She explained.
Celia: “…”
Now the girl in my head finally had me worried… It’s not like she would ask me to proposition my body, unless Faith really thought that it was absolutely needed.
Xena: “I do seek peace, yes. But Celia… in this game of death, you’re the most peaceful being around. Saving so many women from this hellish game… I can only just respect you highly.” She replied.
Celia: “You flatter me, really. But does that mean that you’ll join a real member of my guild, not one who just wishes to be safe?” I reply with a curious tone.
Xena: “If you would allow me, I would very much like to fight by your side.” She answered.
With that, I asked her to join the guild, and she quickly did so. Now, Xena was also part of my guild, and I don’t truly know what is in store for our future with her in it.
Celia: “Currently, my guild is living in those top tier estates on the hill. You’re the only new real member to join, so you have a huge assortment of estates to pick from to live in.” I inform.
Xena: “Oh? Housing is even provided? You’re a very good employer, Celia. It will be very nice to evolve in a safe environment like that.” She replied with a happy tone.
Celia: “Happiness and comfort are important, after all. And with my Domain, I do wish for all women to be happy. Anyway, speaking of Domains… why do you wish to fight, if your Domain is Peace?” I ask with a curious tone.
Xena: “There is peace in war, you see.” She answered with a smile before walking away.
Celia: “…True.” I agree with a sigh after she was gone.
