After cleaning herself up, Rya dressed herself back up in the clothes and cloak that she wore before. Then she left the room and went down the hallway lost in thought about what happened to her.

'D-Do I want Quin in that way? But he's engaged to be wed with some chick from The Divine Three. I would just wage a big war on Quin's people. I don't want that.' Rya said to herself as she shook her head. But no matter how she tried. Her heart ached at the thought of leaving him.

'Maybe I'm just horny... No that can't be it. I mean I've accidently walked into his room while he was naked once, but that shouldn't mean I want sex with him. Why am I fantasizing about him then? D-Do I have feelings for him? My heart is beating out of my chest. I'm really nervous right now. I haven't felt like this since I was a kid. I think it's because I'm a virgin again. Maybe I'm too inexperienced as a woman... I don't know what to do anymore." Rya said aloud as she looked around the hallways trying to find the way out of the brothel.

A few minutes later Rya found herself in the main reception room of Bella's Place.

"Ah Miss Rya. I see your hour is up. I hope everything was satisfactory?" It was the manager from earlier.

"Huh? Oh.. Oh Yes, I'm satisfied, Lady Bella." Rya said as she smiled.

"Hmm? You seem lost? What's on your mind? Is there something wrong?"

Rya lowered her head and blushed. "Ummm... I didn't know where to go after my hour was up and I'm still very confused about what's going on. I was hoping this would have fixed a problem I was having."

Bella chuckled. "Well, I'm sorry to hear that. You know what, I'll give you a parting gift. I hope it will help you in the future."

"What's the gift?" Rya asked.

"It's not much, but I will give you a potion. It's a love potion. Come with me I have it in the back room. And you can leave out the back of the brothel if you want?"

‘Leaving out the back room is not a bad idea. Someone might have followed me.' Rya thought.

"Yes, please!" Rya said.

The manager led Rya to the back room as they walked. Rya noticed that the place seemed quieter than when she first came in.

'Huh? All those guys are gone. I'm sure they are having their fun with the escorts.' Rya thought as she looked around.

When they reached the back room and opened the door and walked in it looked like a storage room. The room was full of boxes, barrels, and other stuff.

"Here we are. This is a love potion. It should make you feel desired for whomever you want after drinking it. Keep it safe, ok?"

Rya nodded her head. "A love potion? Well, I'll keep it safe. Thanks."

"Any time! The door to the back alley is around the corner to the right."

"Thanks again!" Rya said. Then she turned to leave the storage room.

Rya was looking at the red liquid in the glass vial. 'This is probably an aphrodisiac. I shouldn't drink this stuff~' Rya's thought was interrupted when she felt an object placed around her neck from the left side of her.

'What the fuck!'

Rya looked to her left to see a man wearing light armor that had a black rose on it.

"Got her!" He yelled back to someone behind him.

Rya on instinct slammed her foot to the ground to raise a three rock that smashed through from under the wood flooring as it floated about chest high before she quickly pushed it with the palm of her hand to it causing it to fly like a bullet into the guy the put something on her neck.

*Smash!*

"ARGH!" grunted the Black Rose Merc as he was sent flying into the wall 15 feet away in a blink of an eye.

"JONES! You bitch!" Screamed another guy in similar garb as the first guy. He brandished a sword and charged Rya.

*Swing!*

*Swish!*

Rya dodge under the oncoming attack with ease as she counters with a sweeping kick to his knees.

*Thump! CRACK!*

"AAAUUHHH!!! MY LEG!" The man screams as he falls to the ground.

Rya rolled to her feet ready to run when she heard a commanding voice say, "Halt slave!"

In that instance she felt an energy rush from the object on her neck and went through her body causing her to stop in her tracks.

'W-What the FUCK IS GOING ON!' Rya thought as she stared at the two men in front of her. One of them she recognized. He was the Black Rose Merc that was Marcus's hired bodyguard back in the labyrinth.

"You weren't lying Dietrich. This Dark Elf will be useful for us." Said a man with the same armor as the previous merc. He wore a crown on his head and had a blue robe covering his upper half. His lower half was covered in leather pants that were ripped up the thighs with silver jewelry hanging from his arms.

'NO! NO! NO! Nooooooo!' Rya cried inside her mind. She knew who these guys were. She had just been captured by the Black Rose Mercenaries.

"Yeah, there's no way that weakling of a prince could defeat a Cave Troll with only a sword. This elf had to be the reason he's alive." said Dietrich, the second man. He had his war hammer on him, but he wasn't wearing his heavy armor.

Then from the storage room came Bella out.

"I-I've done what you asked, now let my people go and leave! I'll tell them to never speak about this ever! We have nothing to do with the prince or the king of Fiafyr or your mercenaries for that matter," she begged them.

"That's funny coming from a whore that doesn't care about anything but herself. Haha! You keep quiet and we'll spare your establishment. You understand?" asked the one in the crown.

Bella looked worried but kept her calm.

"Of course. Anything to make it easier on you," she answered.

"That's a good little whore. Devin is Jones alive?" The man with the crown asked with a smirk.

"H-He's dead! You could have stopped her why didn't-" Devin stopped when he noticed his superior was glaring at him.

"You have a problem with me testing her? I can have her continue if you wish, Devin?" the man asked his subordinate.

Davin gulped after realizing that his commander will let the Dark Elf kill him as his knee was still killing him after Rya kicked it. "N-No need Jeremiah, she's good enough as far as I'm concerned. Let's just get out of here before word gets around that we are here in the city."

Jeremiah nodded his head and turned to Rya.

"Slave! Bury the dead. We're leaving." Jeremiah said as he put his cloak on.

'I-I can't stop my body! RRRAAAHHH!' Rya thought as she tried to will herself to stop. But the slave collar had full control over her body as she made the dead man disappear into the ground.

"Are we clear to move out!" Dietrich nodded his head and walked over to Rya. He grabbed her by the arm and dragged her to the door.

"Go on, we don't have time," he ordered.

She bit her lip but obeyed without a fight even though she wanted to with all her might.

'Why didn't I see this coming! I'm a FUCKING IDIOT! Quin! Someone! HELP ME!' Rya thought to herself as she walked outside with the three other cloaked men.
