Am I Goddess Or What - 29 29.The Poppy

When the Name Givers were gone, the children started just playing around, eating and gathering energy. Yselria and Wriya seemed to have realized that if they gather energy near Thierry and Reneé they seemed to be given more. The two of them are like natural magnets and were quite fast in doing that. But the two girls didn’t give up.

Few days passed. Alcazar and Teatind seemed to be digging in their scrolls for answers. They had hundreds of thousands of scrolls so they will need time. If they do not find it in their own collection they will have to go and search at the great dragon library. That task will take them centuries, as the dragon library has millions of scrolls.

The children seemed to have a calm and steady life, but things have been brewing without them noticing it.

—————————————————————————————-

It’s been now weeks since she saw her daughter. Is she alive or dead? She needs to make that man pay for his deeds. She stood up and saw her reflection in the mirror. She smiled at herself and walked out of the room.

An alluring woman in yellow walked slowly down the stairs. The hall that was humming with sounds and voices seemed to slowly calm down and die out. On her feet seems to be small bells that rung into the hearts of those lecherous men. They started at her like a pack of hungry wolfs.

When she came down they saw her full body. Her green hair and yellow eyes complimented the yellow clothes she had. Her full red lips parted and showed pearl white teeth as she lightly smiled. Her top was yellow and short, but you could see lines of her full bosom shown under it. You could see her belly button. On her full hips, she had a long yellow skirt with green branches and few red poppy flowers. On her feet, she had no shoes and you could see her tiny fingers peeking under the long skirt. But her face couldn’t be clearly seen as she hid it behind a veil.

She walked slowly passing them all and leaving an alluring smell after her. She walked straight and passed the door that closed right after her and multiple guards stood in front of it. For a while, there was no sound in the room but once teh people started getting awake from their daze that started commenting on the amazing beauty they just saw.

In the room, a woman that had her youth passed a long time ago held the beauty in her arms and cried. It was the first time in many years that she had so many people in this place. She listened to the Poppy. Poppy made changes in the establishment and made most of her ladies refined and beautiful. Then she set an enormous price for the food. In the beginning, no one wanted to come but after her ladies walked in the city a few times, the name of her place has been passed to the ears of important people that supported her well.

Poppy told her if the man asked for her, she should say that she died under someone. She planned anyway to change her hair and face. There is a famous doctor that had the ability to do that. She already saw him and in a couple of days, she will be a new person.

And then the revenge will start. He is getting married in two days, but it is fine like that. That woman seems to be over possessive and that man he seems to have lots of hidden mistresses. It will be a nice sight after the princess finds out. She will turn into a demon for sure.

Poppy smiled devilishly. The woman that saw that smile and knew that soon someone will be in trouble, big times.

”Mother. You know that I need to stay untouched for while now. I am not a virgin as I already had a child, but for what I plan to do. No man should touch me. If I succeed in doing what I plan, I will help you and sisters retire and live finally relaxed life. I know that all of you were or sold here or widow’s that no one wanted. But if I catch big fish, you all will be able to stop this work and finally go to some other place to start a new life and live happily. I really wish you to do that.”said Poppy while looking at the elderly woman with care.

A few weeks ago when that damn man came here, this place was almost empty with few dirty men lingering around. He taught this is a place where he could drop her bloody body off and sell her. The old woman and the other ladies looked at her without interest as she has been thrown down from the carriage.

The old woman took a few coins, threw it at him and made him sign the contract that she is their and they may do whatever they want with her, without his interference.

He took coins and gave them to the ugliest man in that place to have fun with the woman that he threw away. The man just nodded and looked at him as he went on the carriage and went away.

As soon he was far away they closed the doors of that place and that man took her carefully into his arms and laid her down on one of the tables. He took his hat off and the bunch of dark hair flew down his back. It seems that was not a man, then a woman in disguise.

They didn’t like that officer. He came once before and tortured one of the women to death, since then whenever they saw him they would look dirty and dull. It seems he doesn’t like that kind of woman so he always passes them in disgust.

This time he threw her. Of course, they will help her, but he shouldn’t know or he might look at them closely. Right now they had no one to protect them.

The took off her clothes and saw that luckily she was not hurt badly. It seems only he tortured her cutting her scalp and tips of her fingers. It seems so many things happened to her as she was everywhere black and blue.

The older woman hugged the woman and cried and the rest of the woman did the same.

The moment she opened her eyes she saw a dozen woman looking at her with a smile on their face. She tried to stand up but they pushed her back with worry in their eyes. Somehow she felt comforted.

”Little sister, don’t move. You will need a long time to heal. ”said one girl that had beautiful green eyes and red hair. She turned around and one older woman came to her and propped her head to give her some porridge.

”Little girl, eat some and become stronger. You need to live to have your revenge,”she said while staring at her with a smile.

She nodded and ate. After that, she seems to remember what happened to her and unwillingness and hate came into her eyes. Then she smiled devilishly and looked at the old woman.

”Do you want to help me and all of us. From today…listen to me and you will have a nicer life.” the older woman patted her head and nodded.

It seems they were actually not prostitutes. Just woman that had nothing and widows. They wanted to start a new restaurant but people seemed to have misunderstood them.

Unfortunately, their cooking seemed to be bad as well so the place lost even those few costumer’s they had. She now understood. That dumb idiot seemed to have misunderstood this place as well. Some other people as well. Some of these women were sold as well. The old woman tried to help as many as she could. So most of her savings went out to buy out the girls from claws of those dirty people.

Unfortunately one of the girls went to buy some ingredients for their kitchen and that officer got her and tortured her to death. Then he came and threw some money to them as he left. They felt so sorry for the girl and so powerless. So what they did is to give her proper burial with that money.

Since then they tried to avoid him. But this time they got the chance to help one more person.

She promised herself to help them and accepted them as her family. Luckily for them, she was a great cook. She changed their ways of walking, talking and their behavior.

She used simple things to change the interior of the restaurant. Some of those women sold their body for big money and tehy choose the only man that had thick money and were married to the difficult woman. That was the only way for them to be free. They would save money for everyone.

But the older woman didn’t like that so she tried to stop them. Unfortunately, they choose to continue. They just wanted to save as much money they could.

Some of them gave up and most of them didn’t even start. Now after a few weeks, they all gave up as one almost died because one of her ”clients” almost didn’t kill her when he jumped on her with his body as big as a wale. Luckily they already had few guards that they bought as slaves from the slave market.

They fed them good and promised them freedom as soon as they have enough money to start a new life. Even if they didn’t promise, these men would protect these woman only because they treated them as human beings. So this restaurant became famous as one of the most dangerous in the capital.

You want to touch the serving ladies, your hands will be cut off, you want to kiss them you win big fist and kick in the ass and if you try more, the night will eat you and you will not be seen ever again.

The restaurant became notorious within the noble circle. Most nobles started coming there even with their wives as the restaurant became elegant and had amazing food just within weeks.

Now even if that monster came by, he would have to behave as they had even some of the royals visiting them.

They are what she wanted to get. The closer to the wasp nest, the greater her revenge will be.

She hugged the mother that adopted her and the girls in her name and gave her name Poppy.

She will be like Poppy enchanting and deadly. Her revenge will come. Child, I miss you…
