Monarch of Gluttony: System of Sin
chapter-129

*****

"Aah!"

"Aah!"

Moaning sounds could be heard even outside the room, where two guards stood. Both the guards looked at each other's faces, slightly disgusted as well.

The two guards wore the same cloak as the Triad faced by Azekiel. Their faces were barely visible.

They didn't know how to react to the whole situation. Their queen was acting so differently suddenly, as soon as she met the human.

Not only did she bring the group of humans into their Domain, but she also took the leader of the group inside her bedroom.

For Triads, this was slightly annoying. Their queen was like their goddess. And to hear her being defiled like this... Unfortunately, they couldn't do anything about this. It was their Queen's decision. All they could do was follow her instructions to make sure no one created any disturbance for her.

The moaning only intensified as if trying to irritate them even more. While the Queen experienced the pleasure of her lifetime, the guards outside were suffering. They tried to distract themselves, but there was nothing to distract themselves with.

They tried engaging in small talk, but even that didn't last for long.

Both of them just looked around awkwardly. Fortunately, they soon let out a sigh of relief as they noticed someone arriving closer to them. Finally, they had something to do.

They walked to the woman who was arriving with hasty steps.

Both the guards blocked the woman's path.

"Lady Leor, we're afraid we can't allow you to progress. It's the Queen's orders. For the next couple of hours, no one is to disturb her. If you have anything important to discuss, please leave a message here. As soon as she is free, we will send information."

Leor was the second in command in the Triad Clan. She was said to be the wisest of all Triads, and she was just as strong as the queen and her most trusted person as well.

Even then, she wasn't allowed to progress.

Leor gazed at the door of the Queen's room, hearing all the disturbing noises coming.

"I'm sure whatever she is doing can wait. We have something more important to be concerned about. It's absolutely necessary that I meet her! Step aside."

"We told you, lady Leor. We can't step aside. Our Queen instructed us that no matter what, she isn't allowed to be disturbed."

"Stop being idiots. Do you even know what has happened?"

No matter what the guards said, Leor didn't listen. She pushed them aside.

"Your Majesty, I need to talk to you. It's really urgent." She knocked on the door.

*****

Inside the room, a woman was sitting on top of a young man, moving her hips up and down, when she heard the knocking on the door.

"Can it wait?" The Triad Queen asked. "I'm in the middle of something!"

"Joi has been killed!" The response came from outside. "If you think this can wait, then sure it can. There's no urgency."

The Triad Queen stopped abruptly as soon as she heard the response. Joi was one of them! In fact, she herself sent him above to do something. How could he be killed?

She stood up and got off the bed. She started wearing her clothes.

Liam could only look at the Triad Queen getting dressed, feeling somewhat unsatisfied. His night had just started, and the woman was already leaving.

He wanted to ask her to stop, but he didn't, realizing that something important must have happened for her to be in such a hurry.

He also got up and started getting dressed.

The Triad Queen opened the door after getting dressed and left the room with Liam.

"Tell me how it happened? Who did it?" she asked Leor, who was more focused on Liam.

"I think we should talk in private," Leor held the Triad Queen's hands and started pulling her.

"It's alright. He is a trustworthy person. He can hear." The Triad Queen stopped Leor.

Leor rolled her eyes. "He isn't one of us. He doesn't need to know anything, even if he's trustworthy."

"You, stay where you are!"

No matter what, Leor didn't budge from her stand. If there was anyone in the entire Triad Clan who could refuse the Queen, then it was Leor.

Seeing Leor so stern, the Queen, gave in. She told Liam to stay behind as she left with Leor.

"Now that we are alone tell me how this happened?"

The two ladies walked into the hallway, all alone. There were no guards around them who could overhear.

"I don't know how that happened. But it's most probably related to his mission. He was sent to the Orc Clan to retrieve Layin. If he's dead, then the Orcs have probably killed him."

"Those weak Orcs? How can they kill Joi? They are too weak for that."

"Even though they are weak, but they still had more numbers. Maybe we truly underestimated them. If they can kill Joi, they must not be that weak," Leor responded. "I take responsibility for underestimating them."

It was her plan to send Joi alone to retrieve what they wanted. She believed just one of them was enough for it since their destination was inside a forest. Not only but her, even the Triad Queen, also thought the same. That's why she listened to the Leor's suggestion and sent Joi.

"It's not your fault. You were the one who advised me to send Joi. If not, I was sending someone even weaker. It seems we both underestimated those pests, I more than you."

"Still, for them to kill a Triad, I can't let it pass. Their entire clan needs to be wiped off the face of this world."

"You're right. That's why I've decided to send the Royal Guards. A force of twenty to destroy the Orcs and retrieve Layin. We will see how they survive," Leor stated grimly.

In reality, she was even more furious about what happened compared to the Triad Queen.

"And this time, I will be going along with them," she added.

"You? Isn't this an overkill?" The Triad Queen frowned. Even though she wanted to give a swift response, sending such a big force and Leor...? That seemed too much.

"Last time, I didn't want to go for an overkill, and only sent one. And because of that, one of us is dead, and never coming back. This time, I do want to go for the overkill! Let them see what they get for attacking us!"

"It seems you've already made up your mind..."

"That's right. I just need your permission now."
