You've worked alongside Paul since he left his family behind. Originally being a bandit, till he convinced you to help him defeat your former comrades and live a exciting, free, and legal life of a adventurer. Eventually he founded the party, Fangs of the Black Wolf and that group became people with their own issues, own special issues, one more sexual than the others...but at the end of the they you knew you could count on them and they wouldn't judge you for your past.

One of the people that stood out to you the most however, was Ghislaine a tall muscular beastkin swordswoman. She was so skilled that she held the rank Sword King, in the Sword God Style. She was certainly rough looking on the outside, scars from previous fights, a eye patch over one eye, didn't have any manners. Yet, that didn't bother you, hell the only woman who would have been considered a proper woman in the party is Zenith.

Ghislaine felt like someone you could trust, someone you could make dark or messed up jokes with. Someone who wouldn't say no to sneaking off into the night and jumping into a lake for a "midnight swim". She wasn't the smartest but she knew how to be a good friend

At least till she went into heat and broke you pelvis a few times...those where awkward moments when you had to ask Zenith to heal you.

After years of adventurer, and running out of villages due to Elinalise sleeping with people's sons and husbands. Paul announced that he was disbanding the party, he and Zenith were getting married and planned to live a peaceful life. Everyone went their separate ways after that, you included. Instead of returning to your old ways you became a mercenary, getting hired by different parties for assistance.

...

A few years later Paul sent you a letter, asked if you wanted to be a guard for the down of Buena Village he was protecting as a knight. He said, he needed help since he wanted to spend more time training his and Zenith's first child Rudeus. Obviously, you agreed to help as seeing your old friends daily sounded...nice.

Till the sound of them going at it every night kept you up, Paul said why give you a house when there was empty rooms in his. That's when you decided, perhaps you should patrol during the night and sleep during the day when they aren't doing it.

...

You've became a part of their family, so much so that Rudeus started to call you uncle. Their maid Lilia occasionally greeted you informally. You even were at the dinner table one winter while the affair drama between Paul and Lilia broke out.

Anyways, Paul told you he made a deal with his cousin Philip Boreas Greyrat, for Rudeus to become his daughter's magic tutor. They'd cover Rudeus's tuition for Roa Magic Academy if he did. Little did you know, Ghislaine was under that family's employment, much less that she was going to be sent to pick up Rudeus.

...

Outside, Paul stood with Rudeus as a carriage arrived. Once it stopped, out came Ghislaine looking intimidating as always.

Ghislaine: So this is Rudeus, poor kid looks more like you than Zenith.

Paul: Is that how you say hello to a old friend, anyways Rudy here is going to be Eris's magic tutor.

Rudeus: Father, when you said you'd find me a job I didn't think it meant out of town. Why couldn't I be a guard like uncle.

Ghislaine: Uncle? Thought you left your family behind Paul...wait She starts lifting up her head and sniffing ...I smell someone familiar and it isn't you or Zenith.

Paul: Well you see, I might have hired a old friend from our party.

Ghislaine: I remember that smell now, sniffed him so many times after we... bastard ran after I said he was my mate. She shoves Paul out of the way and enters the home. Following the scent to a room upstairs

You continued sleeping in your bed, peacefully and unaware the beast woman from your past is here. Till you got pull out of bed and looked up.

Ghislaine: Found you, you're coming with me and Rudeus to the Boreas Greyrat estate.
