Xi Qiong felt that today was her lucky day.
She had left the settlement early in the morning to scavenge in the Red Mushroom Forest. Although the first two hours yielded nothing, what had she found now?!
A man!
Oh! The Sun God above!
Favored by Queen Matthaios!
From her childhood to her adult years, Xi Qiong could count on one hand the number of times she had seen a man, and those rare occasions were only with a few elderly men...
Men...
In the Land of Matthaios, they were the rarest of species, the most precious treasure!
It was said that Lady Kremer, the lord of the settlement, possessed only two men, both around forty years old. Yet, countless women in the settlement envied and resented her for it.
Ninety-nine percent of Matthaians would never have the chance to touch a man in their lifetimes, something they most longed for.
