The day had gotten over just like that. I was one day closer to the bestowing ceremony of Svetlana.
She had wanted to serve me last night as well. I just filled her with mana and let her sleep soundly.
Arshaya had been cultivating alone in her chamber. She had looked at me with grievance when she seen her mother sticking to me and getting my mana. She looked cute when jealous. Her big round eyes wanted you to protect her.
It had been a full night since Margaret fainted.
I had been waiting for her to wake up. Since leveling up to level 4, I needed lesser sleep. I was still on my bed with this otherworldly beauty at my side. I had never imagined that I would have this day.
I wasn't sure of what to do in this world. What was my aim. What did I truly desire. I wanted to be remembered I guess. I could live forever with life mana but a life in shadows, was it what I wanted.
I rubbed Lana's tits as a stress ball and a moan came out in her sleep. Should have accepted the offer to fuck, now I regretted it a bit.
I felt a mana vibration in the other room. Wasn't this the same eavesdropping skill she had used before. it was a good original magic for spies I guess.
I tucked in a pillow inside Svetlana's arm and left for the other room.
"Already feeling good enough to use magic."
"How did you do break it. No wonder Svetlana sticks to you like a glue, who wouldn't fancy a man with such power."
"Even you?" I asked with a smirk.
"Do I even have a choice."
"We always do, Margaret. It is the fear of consequences that we can't bear."
"Easy for you to say with so much power."
"Why did an Earl enslave his own daughter."
She had a very displeased expression.
"My mother had life mana. She was captured and kept as a concubine. It was alright if it was only that, sometimes he would use my mother to entertain some big men. She used to be passed around in parties that the nobles held, defiled in front of many. My had me after one of such parties. It was just that I was born with multiple attributes. My mother's status was lifted and she was given a place the long list of concubines."
"I was trained in multiple languages. How to please men. Remember how I told you I was virgin, that part is true but I didn't have sex would be a lie. I had used a chastity belt to save my vagina. It was the 2nd time, I was sent on a mission. Last time, I married an old merchant who dealt in beast men trade."
"Do you know my original magic?"
"I only know the eavesdropping one."
"That is common magic of sound type. My original magic is to use sound magic like charm magic. While having sex, when men are most vulnerable, I use sound magic in my moans to leave psychological suggestions. I know I am dirty but I did what I had to survive. I got my last husband's trading channels and ghosted him. This time I was promised that my mother would be freed if I could get the glass making technology of the Dunt's. I wanted to seduce Svetlana's husband but he died before I had a chance. My husband Rock, I don't think he knew about the secret. This was why I resented Svetlana. I was frustrated because this mission took so long. I don't hate Svetlana or judge her. I am the daughter of a whore. You don't know how people look at me back at Brussex. There are stories of me pleasing dozens of men in a single night. Although, the culture of Napoli is more accpeting of open sex after marriage, I was still looked down on."
By the time, Margaret finished her monologue, her words had become inaudible and mixed with little sobs. This was a girl who had grown up to save her mother.
I heard footsteps coming in.
"I listened to your story. You remind me of myself before I met Bruce."
"Why do you care about what others say about you. I was called a slut, a whore, a foreign bitch. Wear it like a crown, yes I am the slut, but I am Bruce's slut. I tease men to show them their hypocrisy. They want to conquer me but shy away when they are about to be conquered. I wouldn't let a man defile me again, I was saved by Bruce from a slave contract. The current king Oliver pressed my boob and made me kiss my daughter in front of him. Bruce could have killed him, then and there but then we would have to flee. I want to stay here and rule this kingdom. I want that Oliver to lose his hand that touched. I know Bruce will never say it so let me say it for him. I want to be his Queen when he rules this nation and many more."
Svetlana came and hugged me from behind.
"Do you want to be with us." Svetlana said as she passed her hand in front of Margaret's face.
Margaret knew it was the moment when she had to choose.
She leaned and kissed the hand with Svetlana's hand.
Wasn't I the protagonist of this story. Svetlana always said what I wanted to do. Doesn't matter.
"It's only a peck, daughter in law, why are you licking it." Svetlana teased her.
"Call me mother from now on."
Margaret had tears in her eyes as someone had accepted her despite all the things she had done in the past.
"You still need to accept my contract magic. Don't worry, it isn't like Augustus family. You can think freely, no mana flow will be disrupted and you grow normally. It is more like a voluntary oath and it prevents soul search as well, so you should accept it. Even Svetlana and Arshaya have it. I do it for complete trust."
Margaret nodded.
