Chapter 21 : Invitation and Encounter

That evening, a luxurious two-horse carriage arrived in front of the Duke Germane’s mansion. When the well-dressed man and woman got out, a row of servants and butlers greeted them.

“Welcome. Thank you for taking the time to come here.”

“It is we who should thank you for the invitation—”

The father of the Tarcoza family, Zeaden, responded with an ambiguous smile and muddled his greeting. 

They were servants, in other words, were supposed to be of lower status than themselves, who were nobles by blood. 

However, when he saw the lace on the maids’ aprons, the cleanliness of the servants’ suits, which looked as good as new, and the size of the mansion made it clear that it would be unwise to adopt an arrogant attitude.

Although Zaden Tarcoza was an absolute ruler at home, he was also a man who didn’t hesitate to act subserviently outside. 

In addition, he had a certain ability in sensing someone’s rank and putting distance to other people. 

This made him surprisingly good at flattery, which is why he had been able to get through life up until now.

‘I don’t know the details, but before I could send Carolyn to the party, a huge opportunity presented itself. Germane—a noble with the rank of duke! Moreover, if I’m not mistaken, the heir who serves as a guard in the royal capital is still single. We cannot let this chance slip away.’

He glances out of the corner of his eye at his daughter, who is both an important asset and a potential source of trouble. 

Although she gazes at the luxurious mansion with sparkling eyes, she holds her chin up arrogantly and displays clear disdain in her blue eyes. 

In both appearance and arrogance, she is truly just like her mother. Her beauty and magical power are beyond reproach, but her personality is difficult to manage.

Earlier, she had been irritated by the rain preventing her from going out and started making a fuss about picking up the outfit that should have already been ready. 

Without Elma, there was no one to divert her anger, so Zeaden was left frustrated and went out by himself. 

However, when he returned after getting dressed at the store, he found that a messenger from an unfamiliar noble had arrived at the mansion!

‘Carolyn’s selfishness actually worked out well this time. Thanks to that,  we can go to dinner even without Erma. But, seriously, that lazy person…where on earth is she wandering off to ?’

“His Excellency is a busy person and will come to greet you later. In the meantime, Please enjoy your meal.”

As Zeaden began to think about how he would punish Elma when she got home, the butler led him into the mansion.

‘Incredible. So spacious, with a long history, and everything is first-class. This is wealth! This is nobility! I, too, will soon live this kind of life…’

Suppressing his rising desire with a polite smile, Zeaden accepted the dinner. 

He thoroughly enjoyed the food with Carolyn and even asked for seconds. 

The fact that the butler himself was serving them indicated how much they were being favored. 

It was worth the effort of distributing Carolyn’s picture and spreading rumors first, rather than suddenly showing up at the party.

‘A duchess… The status and wealth exceed what I had anticipated. Given Carolyn’s personality, she might quickly lose interest, but if we can secure an heir—or at least establish a fait accompli—then the rest will be ours. ’

As expected, an after-dinner drink was also prepared, and Zeaden was completely satisfied. Then, he was informed that the master was coming, and he stood up with Carolyn.

‘Well, even though he’s a high-ranking noble, he’s just the kind of man who could be swayed by the beauty of a girl he has never met. If we flatter and appease him as usual—’

However, the friendly smile froze as soon as the person arrived. 

The moment a man with his face covered by cloth entered the room, the atmosphere clearly changed—at least that’s how it felt. 

In fact, Carolyn, who was wearing her night clothes and had a lot of exposed skin, got goosebumps and almost chattering her teeth. 

The man, dressed in a military uniform decorated with numerous medals denoting his high rank, was very tall. 

Both Zeaden and Carolyn had to look up at him as a cold, low voice emanated from him.

“Welcome, Lord Tarcoza. I am Eugreek Germane, the owner of this mansion.”

‘What’s wrong with this man…!?’

They were invited here. The luxurious meal earlier and the hospitality of the servants were impeccable, even Zeden, who is skilled at finding fault, had no complaints. 

So why does the host’s attitude seem so unfriendly?

Although his face was covered, it was clear right away that he did not seem very welcoming.

“Oh—oh my… I-I’m Zeaden Tarcoza. And this is my daughter, Carolyn. You know her already, right ?”

“Good evening, Eugreek-sama”

The daughter flashed a smile like a blooming flower. 

Her inability to read the room might have helped to be bold like her father. 

However, the man gripped Zeaden’s hand painfully with his cold fingers and made no attempt to take Carolyn’s hand. 

Shouldn’t he be giving a kiss on the back of her hand and exchanging a few polite remarks in this situation?

“This face was injured during a mission a long time ago, and since then I have avoided showing it to the public. I hope you understand.”

“O-Ohhh…”

“I don’t mind at all. It’s a man’s medal, after all.”

Carolyn was a dazzling beauty, and had been professionally dressed. 

Since she was young, it had always been the case that any man who received her smile would fall in love with her. Yet, the man before her was somehow different. 

The corner of the woman’s mouth twitched as she smiled gracefully.

“So… um, did you happen to like my daughter?”

“Your daughter, Lady Elma, helped me out when I was in trouble. I invited you tonight to express my gratitude and discuss some matters.”

The friendly smiles disappeared from the faces of Tarcoza’s father and sister. One was shocked, and the other went serious.

“—Are you referring to Elma?”

“Elma Tarcoza. That’s the name I’ve heard. She wears patched-up clothes and has brown eyes and hair. Am I mistaking her for someone else, or did I mishear?”

“No—there’s no doubt it’s our Elma, but… what exactly do you mean by ‘helped’?”

“I was on my way to visit an acquaintance and accidentally tore my clothes. She happened to be there and repaired them for me.”

“…Ohh. Is that…all ?”

“That’s all?”

“No-nothing !  I haven’t said anything, ha ha.”

Zeaden forced a smile, struggling to lift the corners of his mouth. 

His instincts warned him that it was dangerous to oppose the masked man directly. At the same time, he was confused and trying to think of a clever solution.

‘I thought for sure he had heard rumors about Carolyn, but it seems not. Elma… fixed his clothes? That’s so absurd, it’s just a minor thing. No, wait. Could it be that this man—’?

“Um, could it be that you were also the one who gave us the lathy the other day…?”

“Yeah, that’s me.”

“—! Oh, that! It was very delicious. Thank you so much.”

“Hei, Carolyn !”

‘Don’t be so pushy,’ the father restrained his daughter. 

Truly, what a daughter to have, to ruin the lathy given by Elma. But she was dealing with the wrong person, and he didn’t want to provoke her. 

The man seemed to be ignoring Carolyn entirely from the start, as if she wasn’t even there. 

Did Carolyn finally realize that she was being deliberately ignored? Her face lost all color. 

Zeaden, drenched in sweat, anxiously watched the man.

“Um… so, Besides the gratitude, what did you need to discuss?”

“To put it simply, I was impressed with Elma’s sewing skills. I would like her to work here.”

    Anabolic steroids work in a unique way from different drugs of abuse; they don’t
    have the identical short-term results on the brain. The
    majority of folks that misuse steroids are male weightlifters of their
    20s or 30s. It is difficult to measure steroid misuse
    in the Usa because many national surveys do not measure it.
    The 2016 NIDA-funded Monitoring the Future examine
    has shown that past-year misuse of steroids has declined amongst 8th and tenth graders lately, whereas holding steady for 12th
    graders. The larger doses commonly utilized in aggressive athletics and power sports are linked to an increased risk of unwanted aspect effects and cannot be deemed
    protected (1).
    At the identical time, your body takes several months to
    build testosterone ranges back to where they naturally must be.
    By stacking compounds, you’re covering your bulking wants from multiple angles and ensuring gaps are stuffed by benefiting from the completely
    different properties and results of two or three totally different steroids.

    Below are three examples of the best stacks to achieve immense
    features in mass and power using one of the best combination of
    steroids on the correct doses. Starting with
    testosterone as the one anabolic steroid in your first cycle lets you start with probably the
    most essential steroid of all, which is in a position to check your body’s tolerance and reaction to
    steroids in a short time.
    The causes may include undescended testicles, testicle injury, pituitary problems,
    obesity, and superior HIV an infection. This classification signifies that anabolic
    steroids have a moderate to low potential for bodily and psychological dependence in comparability with substances like opioids or stimulants.
    It can trigger mood swings, fatigue, restlessness, achy
    muscle tissue, and melancholy.
    One thing you’ll get with that life-style is some nice water retention! So before beginning, think about how
    and what you will eat, how typically, how a lot, and how your training
    will work. Ideally, you’re already eating and training properly anyway,
    so you’ll must tweak it to get your required outcomes.
    If your food regimen or training is not on level, you’re merely throwing cash down the drain.
    This can even suppress appetite, leading to further fat loss by growing the chance of users eating in a calorie deficit.
    We have seen women take Anavar safely with out growing virilization symptoms.

    Additionally, cycles must be kept short (6 weeks), and alcohol must be averted for max hepatic safety.
    Our liver function checks present Winstrol to be
    hepatotoxic; thus, users often take a liver assist supplement
    (such as TUDCA) to stop liver enzymes from rising
    to high ranges. Winstrol’s simultaneous anabolic (muscle-building) and fat-burning effects are much
    like trenbolone, albeit much less potent. Winstrol promotes moderate will increase in lean mass while lowering fat-free mass.

    Individuals within the traditional power sports activities
    who are seeking to “bulk up” have typically used
    dosages that exceed the body’s normal production by 10 to 100 occasions or extra.
    Administration patterns vary among athletes inside a selected sport, based mostly on each athlete’s coaching targets, how he responds
    to the medicine, and on the presumed physiologic effects of different anabolic steroids.
    Women, no matter sport, are generally thought to make use of lower dosages of anabolic steroids than men as a outcome of it
    takes less for them to acquire the specified impact. In addition, individuals could use different medication concurrently with anabolic steroids
    to counteract a variety of the widespread adverse effects of steroids.
    These medication embrace diuretics (to handle fluid retention), antiestrogens (to prevent “breast” improvement, referred to as gynecomastia), human chorionic gonadotrophin (to forestall
    testicular atrophy), and anti-acne drugs.
    The frequency of this multiple drug use and the frequency of
    the steroid administration patterns described above are
    poorly documented.
    Typically, Clenbuterol dosages will enhance as
    your cycle progresses to ensure your body doesn’t
    turn into used to the lower dose, which can trigger stagnant results.
    The really helpful cycle size is within the 6-8 week vary for
    greatest results while minimizing virilization threat.

    If it’s your first Anavar cycle, six weeks
    at 5 to 10mg is a perfect introduction to
    this steroid. You can start at 10mg for the primary six weeks, then boost the dose to 15-20mg for the ultimate two weeks to ramp up your results.
    There are plenty of reasons women choose not to use steroids to enhance their
    physique or boost efficiency. Females who use steroids are susceptible to considerable
    physiological adjustments.
    After this process is full, the receptor advanced dissociates and is recycled along with
    the hormone, to repeat this process a number of times prior
    to metabolism. Whereas anabolic steroids have their place within the therapy of
    sure medical situations, these drugs aren’t secure for
    any other use. Any guarantees of higher athletic performance
    are also not backed by clinical evidence. The analysis of anabolic steroid abuse in high school, college,
    and professional athletes may happen with a failed drug check, however many individuals who abuse
    these drugs are by no means randomly examined.
    Some docs prescribe it for testosterone supplementation therapy to improve temper and
    sexual performance in older men. Winstrol can suppress testosterone ranges,
    lowering sperm amount and high quality. Users who often administer toxic anabolic steroids
    similar to Winstrol, with inadequate day with no work in between cycles,
    are at larger threat of testosterone deficiency or infertility.

    Analysis signifies that testosterone also can negatively have
    an result on high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) ldl cholesterol
    ratios, potentially inflicting hypertension (high blood
    pressure) (2). Nonetheless, studies counsel that
    such elevations in blood strain are not as extreme from testosterone compared to more potent anabolic steroids.

    Some analysis has found that using anabolic steroids could
    cause people to turn to different drugs to alleviate unfavorable short-term unwanted side effects.

    This can ease symptoms of inflammatory situations, corresponding to rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD),
    asthma, allergic reactions and skin rashes. This may help management circumstances by which the immune
    system mistakenly attacks its own tissues. SARMs selectively target androgen receptors,
    providing comparable benefits with fewer side effects.
    However they nonetheless carry risks and aren’t accredited for human use
    by the FDA. The nature of erectile dysfunction can be categorized as psychogenic, organic
    or mixed psychogenic and organic (193).
