    About a week had passed since Orcus emerged victorious in the tournament, and he had yet toplete the necessary ceremony to earn his title.


    Nevertheless, he had already been weed as a member of the Pir of Lust, and he was being showered with congrattions from every direction.


    Having made a full recovery from the fight, Orcus was spending the night at a luxurious inn that had been reserved for him specifically.


    As he prepared to retire for the night, he was surprised to see a woman enter his room. Despite the unexpected visit, Orcus remainedposed and gave her the appropriate amount of attention.


    "ahhh... Hmmm? Its'' you..." Orcus said to the woman.


    The woman introduced herself as Anne, and Orcus recognized her as the opponent he had fought against during the tournament.


    Although they had been fierce rivals in the arena, there was a sense of mutual respect between them, and Orcus was curious as to why she had sought him out.


    As they conversed, Anne revealed that she was a member of the Pir of Lust and that she had been tasked with overseeing Orcus''s initiation ceremony.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Although Orcus was initially surprised by this news, he quicklyposed himself and expressed his gratitude for her assistance.


    Anne then went on to exin the details of the ceremony and what Orcus could expect in theing days, and Orcus listened attentively, eager to learn as much as he could about his new role.


    Anne entered Orcus''s room and expressed her appreciation for him, even though he had defeated her inbat. Her graceful manner of speaking surprised Orcus, who had not expected such a dignified attitude from a battle maiden like Anne.


    "I had yet to congratte you on your win against me. It would impugn my name if I did not honour the one who vanquished me," She went on to say that it would reflect poorly on her reputation if she did not show proper respect to the one who had vanquished her.


    As Orcus listened to her speak, he found himself bing more enamoured with her. Her grace and poise were admirable, and he remembered how perfect her appearance had been during their fight.


    He couldn''t help but feel a sense of attraction towards her, despite the fact that they had been engaged in a fierce battle just days prior.


    Orcus noticed that there were no visible signs of thest blow he had delivered to her during thepetition, and it seemed like she had recoveredpletely from their battle.


    Despite this, he felt guilty for hurting her, but he also understood that he had to do what was necessary to win.


    To Orcus''s surprise, the female Jotun was not wearing her usual magical fur during their meeting. Instead, she was dressed in a garment that seemed to prioritizefort over protection in battle.


    Her top and lower torso were both covered by a luxurious coat that was lined with thick, warm fur. The coat was clearly designed to keep her warm and cozy, and it entuated her already impressive stature.


    Orcus couldn''t help but notice how beautiful she looked in her attire, and he felt a strong attraction towards her.


    Herck of magical protection made her seem more vulnerable and approachable, which added to her appeal.


    He was pleased to see that she seemed to have no hard feelings towards him for defeating her, and he felt a sense of respect for her for being a gracious opponent.
