The two Phoenix Knights didn’t rashly enter but stopped at the door, where one of them gulped and lifted their armored palm to the door,
Afraid that the person fighting inside might not hear, the knight knocked hard on the door, but after waiting several seconds, the "symphony of sounds" inside grew louder, yet there was still no response to the knocking.
Just as the knight reached out his hand to knock again, the high-pitched sound inside reached a crescendo and then abruptly stopped, like the end of a song, leaving only a lingering, ambiguous echo.
But the next second, a somewhat serious female voice forcefully broke through, tearing apart the ambiguous atmosphere and revealing to the listener the biting cold wind from the Northern Realm,
The knights gently pushed open the door in front of them, revealing the chaotic interior of the room.
The floor, the sofa, the tables - everywhere there were naked working boys, and a strange smell filled the entire room, so suffocating that one breath would leave you feeling tight-chested.
In the center of the room, on a round soft bed, sat a strapping woman with a cigarette in her mouth.
In the dim shadows of the room, the woman’s silhouette appeared more like a giant bear cloaked in Frost Snow rather than a Human, as she took a light drag from her cigarette and looked at the two people before her, with several boys behind her leaning on her back, basking in her dangerous, violent, yet alluring presence,
"Helena, this morning, the Iceberg Queen landed on the island."
The woman on the bed didn’t reply, but the speed at which her cigarette burned suddenly quickened more than twofold. As her breathing grew heavier, the woman known as "Helena" jolted to her feet, tossing the boys behind her off.
Helena’s towering height of 2.2 meters was quite intimidating, but the two Knights from the Female Country could only make out the burning cigarette before her lips, her white hair as snow, and those blue eyes identical to Alagina’s.
If Alagina’s eyes were like frozen seas, then within Helena’s eyes, there were only the roaring, howling colossal waves, ceaselessly striving to completely devour anyone who dared gaze upon her.
"Alagina... huh, after running around on the sea like a lost dog for so long, today you’ve finally run into me. How many years has it been since we last saw each other, five, six?"
Helena reached for the coat on the bed, being clung to by a working boy, and draped it over herself. While expressing her "longing" for her sister, she also grabbed a bottle of spirits from beside her bed and took several fierce swigs. However, she didn’t want to drink the spirits, but instead used them as a mouthwash, swishing around before spitting it all onto a boy beside her.
As the brothel workers beside her, caught off-guard, lowered their heads and cried out in pain due to the spirits in their eyes, the two Phoenix Knights couldn’t help but purse their lips uncomfortably at the brutality of her actions.
But who could say anything when this was their superior, the Great Knight Commander personally appointed by the Sovereign?
Helena, with her sharp perception, caught even such minute movements from the two knights. Carrying the bottle, her looming figure approached them like a mountain range, only to stop barely in front of them,
"What, is it sympathy, or are you getting excited?"
"Tsk, Brandy, Arysha... The purity of your womanhood is still lacking."
Her tone from above was not so much a reprimand as it was the simplest and most direct form of scorn.
Helena disdainfully curled her lip, not caring for their response, and, looking disappointed, handed the bottle she had drunk from to one of the knights before covering her face and speaking,
"Alright, before we deal with those Nali monkeys, let’s go have a look at how Alagina has been faring lately, shall we? I do indeed miss my dear little sister."
