Chapter 180: God Of War

"Orian, come here," Seren called for her. 

Oriana immediately went towards the counter and found the Queen showing her a jade hairpin. The craftsmanship was beautiful.  Though acting as a man, she was still a woman inside—she still felt affectionate towards womanly things. 

"This is a gift for you."

"F-For me?"

"I gifted one to Xena as well."

"Thank you, my lady." She gulped. "B-But I am a man. What would I do with it?"

"You can give it to a woman important to you," she said. "Take it."

Seeing the young lad's hesitation, Rafal spoke up, "It is rude to refuse Her Ladyship's goodwill."

Oriana accepted the gift. "Thank you, my lady."

'The Queen of Megaris is truly kind. How can I not admire her?'
