Rhemic Empire (2)

Although Alaria didn't manage to take "just" third place, it was more than enough for her. The Tanarsian perfectly understood that the competitors in the capital's contest would put up a good fight. So, despite the lack of a monetary prize, such a victory filled her with happiness. She showed herself well. Moreover, this performance could open up better-paying job opportunities for her than working in a coffee shop.
"Inquisitor, cook, mercenary, and now also a skilled dancer" — Alaria was brimming with self-satisfaction, — "With each year spent in Rheims, I discover new and new talents in myself. It makes me wonder if I should also sign up for shooting lessons?"
