---------------------------------------
I couldn’t sleep last night.
I did not expect that the person I brought back home, would be the lamias princess. But there was no way for me to know that she was a princess. Who leaves a princess with only one guard, she should at the least have 5.
Now I had to find a way to make her understand that I am not her enemy and I just wanted to talk. So I spent the whole night thinking about 'what my next move should be'. There were not many ways to get out of this situation but I thought about some things.
First, I need to show her that I will not hurt her. Next, I tell her that I want to talk to her about this forest, and then, she can go her way. If she takes this offer then good but if not, then I have to give her something that would pique her interest. Since she has those titles, I may be able to work something out.
[Inquiring Mind]
“I want to learn so teach me”
You are curious about new things. You learn faster than others of your kind.
Double the growth of intelligence.
[Intellectual]
“Anyone can be taught but few will understand what is being taught”
You are broad-minded and can see things in a different light.
Quadruple the intelligence stat.
[Benevolent]
“Kindness is to see the best in others”
You do good and good will happen to you.+1 Karma
--------------------------------------------------
I was sitting in front of the nest all night, waiting for the sun to come up so I could prepare the things needed for our talk. First, I need to take her gear and bracelets away. Next, I need to make her some clothes because I won’t be able to focus on our conversation with her being naked. And finally, I need to think of something that can pique her interest if she refuses to talk.

I was taking her bracelets off when I noticed that they lost their power when I took them away from her. Ignoring that, I start to make some simple clothes she can wear. Well since the bottom part was not needed, I only made a shirt. Now I needed something that will pique her interest but I have no idea what to make.
I was thinking about what to do when I heard the chains moving. I turn to see Lami waking up, so I go there in a hurry and stand in front of her. She slowly opens her eyes and when they land on my face, she frowned.
“YOU!!!”
She tried to jump on me but couldn't because of the chains. She looks at the chains, then takes a look around her and calms down.
“What do with other lamia?”
“I didn’t hurt her and just left her in that place”
“I also didn’t take her bracelets,” I say with a calm face.
She gives me a look from head to toe and then asks, “why take me?”
“I don’t want to hurt you I just want to talk”
She looks at her chains and then shows them to me.
“This how you talk?”
“I’ll free you and give your equipment back too if you answer some of my questions”
“you lie”
“I am not lying, I'll free you”
She was still looking at me with unbelieving eyes and I had nothing at hand that could make her interested in talking, so I had no choice but to pull out the sympathy card.
I sigh and say, “let me tell you about myself”.
She says nothing and just stares at me. I take that as an ok and start telling her how I came here and what I have been through. Of course, I didn’t tell her everything and had to exaggerate some parts to look more pitiful. I think to myself ‘Surely someone with a title like [Benevolent] will feel some sympathy right’.

And just as I expected, her face soften as my story went on and now I just needed to warp it all up.
“As I was returning from my exploration, I saw someone who might be the same as me and wanted to talk to her but she attacked me”.
“ I was so scared because I have never seen anything like her in my old world.”
“I didn’t know what to do so I used my skill to knock her out but I was never going to harm her”
“when you came and talked to me, I was relieved to know that there was someone who could understand me”
“I didn’t know if you would listen to me so I had to take you forcefully and I am sorry for that”
I start moving toward her and she becomes alert again. I keep walking and when I reach her, I grab the chains she was in and break them with [Metal Handling]. Then I take out her things from my inventory and put them on the ground.
With a sad face, I start talking, “I understand if you are angry and don’t want to talk but please if you could help me I would be very grateful”.
“I am all alone here”
I look down and wanted to pretend cry but the tears were not coming no matter how hard I tried. I don’t understate how all those actors can cry on cue. But there was no need to act as my goal had been achieved.
I was still trying to cry when a pair of hands wrap around my head and pull me into a soft embrace. Lami was hugging me with tears in her eyes.
“Don’t be sad, I help”
“Thank you”
I hug her back and bury my head into her breasts enjoying the fruit of all my hard work.
Somewhere in the South of Loswarier
*All the talking will be in lamia language*
A lamia opens her eyes to notice that the sun was high up in the sky. She puts a hand on her head and tries to remember the last thing that happened to her and her eyes open wide. She looks left and right as if looking for something but could not find anything.
“THAT BASTARD!!” she shouts in a loud and angry voice.
After a while, some other lamias came to her hearing that scream.
“Tina! What are you doing here?”
“Where is the princess?”
What do you mean 'where is the princess ' ”Tina asks in confusion.
“She went exploring the area and has not come back yet”
“you went to get her back right, where is she?”.
Hearing of the princess not returning, she imagines the worst thing that could have happened to her.
“Quick! We need to go back and tell the Queen that the princess was taken by a beast”, says Tina with a worried face.
