"What do you mean I'm not allowed to ejaculate for the next three months?"
"This is your punishment for scaring me by flying around the town"
"But... I can't..."
"It's fine. After three months," I put my hand between his legs. "I'll let you release every drop inside me"
"Are you sure about that?"
"I am"
"Okay"
"In the meantime, you will spend those three months training with Claude so you can take your mind off about it"
"Hiiiiiii!!!"
A loud screeching noise echoed.
Everyone was alerted by the loud sound.
It was a monster. Though I have seen quite a lot for the past five years it is my first time to see something that big.
If I remember correctly that is what they call a kraken, right.
"Quick, take cover!"
"Why?"
Alex and Claude froze in place after hearing what I said.
"What do you mean 'why'? There's a giant kraken right now!"
"So? You're strong. Why would I care about it when you can just take it down in one blow?"
"Oh... I forgot about that"
Is this guy for real?
He held out his hand. A concentrated blast of flame were fired from his palm. A swirling wind was then created which further empowered the fire.
"That's enough"
He stop.
"Why are you telling him to stop?"
"Claude, a krakens' eyeballs, kidney, intestine and heart are very good materials and ingredients use for medicines related to heart and brain problems. Any more than this and those parts won't be salvage anymore"
The corpse of the kraken floated in the water. Claude who understood the meaning behind my words quickly went and retrieve said parts from the kraken.
"Here are the body parts"
"Thanks"
"Is he okay? He won't kill those people because he is bothering him, will he?
"It's fine. He grew up already..."
Alex threw a glare at someone who casually touched his shoulder.
"Probably"
The crew and the other passengers continued to praise Alex for killing the kraken till we reach Dilirea.
When we got to town we immediately use the teleportation gate to go back to the Alex's palace.
"Claude, I am relying on you that Alex would learn how to control his ability by the time I get back"
"I'm sure he can do..."
"If he doesn't I'll give you a pay cut"
"WHAT?!"
I hurriedly told the coachman to go faster so that Claude won't be able to caught up.
"You two can come out now"
Both Vassago and Theo appeared.
"As I thought I really can't hide from him"
"Milady, why did you run away without saying anything to master first?"
"It will be harder for him if I leave while he say his goodbyes. That's why I left a message for him. Claude would tell him if he ever gets anxious"
"Milady, how did you know we were here? Me and Vassago were trying our best to conceal our presence"
"I suddenly felt... safe. It's the same sensation I feel whenever Alex is near me, that's how"
Maybe it was because they were serving under him that they also carry some of Alex's aura.
In three days time I arrive at the city that the lazy schemer now governs.
When I arrive at the city, both Vassago and Theo went back to Alex.
The knights and the maids were different, but they treated me the same as the ones from the Goed barony.
"Master, is something wrong?"
"There is no need to be so formal when its just us two"
"It is because that we are alone that I am formal as I can only be formal to you, master, when we are together"
I really don't get tired of this sudden change whenever someone's personality take a turn from wearing a slave collar.
"How are things going?"
"Currently, some of the staffs were replaced at the orphanages due to some conflict. There are no problems whatsoever about the treasury. Staffs are also satisfied with their jobs. Also, the school for commoners is being constructed as per schedule"
"That's good"
Is he sick? Why is he so red?
I look down and found the problem of the situation. If this was a story the this would definitely be the rising action.
"M-master?"
I dragged him to a vacant room and thoroughly enjoyed my time taking away his virginity.
...
Two days passed. Eddie came. Using the adventurers' guild my message would arrive at the Dominique duchy in five days. Though there is a five day interval, it is the fastest way I have right now.
"Is there something I can do?"
"Yes. We'll be going on a trip"
"To where?"
"The holy kingdom of Sukel. We will be going there to visit the saintess as well as to sightsee the area. If possible, we would also go to the kingdom of Otvon"
"Alex told me that you went to Temal. What happened there?"
"Right, about that, there will be an expedition in several months to establish diplomatic relations with the other continent in the east. And I will be taking you with me. This is classified information so I dope that you know what to do"
"Of course. And, are we going to Sukel and Otvon for business?"
"Yes and no. Since we are going there might as well enjoy it, right"
"What about Alex?"
"He is currently dying on his training how to control his abilities"
"You found someone who can teach him?"
"The best one when it comes to fire based ability"
Eddie can grow by himself just fine without receiving any help from outsiders so it would be pointless to find someone who can teach him on how to use his lightning ability.
I finish packing and left the notes that Jerome and the others will be needing. I also left their additional salary, the money that I got from the four young noble men in Temal.
As I ready my belongings, Eddie took the liberty of getting confirmation from the imperial crown princess to go to the holy kingdom.
We entered the portal.
We were inside somewhere.
"By any chance, is this the villa that the Berda empire uses when they visit Sukel?"
"Yes. I put my markings on all the villas that the Berda empire owns in the other kingdoms for utility purposes"
His power really is convenient.
An hour later, a carriage arrived at in front of the villa.
"Do you remember what we talked about?"
"Yes. Right now my favorite color is black. My favorite food are sweets but not to sweet. And I like women that has black hair who also has nice thighs"
"Good"
We went out and get in the carriage. The carriage then led us to the temple where the saintess and the pope resides.
Since our arrival was announced on such short notice, instead of being sent to the palace of the royal family we will be sent to the temple instead for the sake of formality and protocol.
"Duke Dominique, please follow me. I will guide you to the pope"
"I understand"
We followed the priest to a room.
Eddie entered the room while I stayed outside as I was pretending as Eddie's secretary.
A woman with guards behind her appeared from the end of the hallway and was walking fast to get here.
"I'm sorry saintess, but the pope is currently talking to someone right now. Please understand and wait"
"High priest John"
"Yes, saintess?"
"Which one of us is of higher rank?"
"It is you, saintess"
Oh wow. She is actually using her status and position right now in broad daylight in front of someone. Just how brazen can she be.
"Right. If that is the case, who gave you the authority to stand in my way?"
The priest can't do anything but to bow his head to the saintess. Based on how things look, the two men behind her must be paladins in charge of her safety.
I raised my hand.
"If I may speak, your holiness"
"I don't know who you are but it better be worth my time"
"Thank you very much for allowing this humble servant to speak. It seems that you want to enter the pope's room to meet with Duke Dominique"
"So?"
"The Duke doesn't really like it when people interrupts his conversation with someone"
"You..."
Bright light emitted from her palms.
"Dare..."
A scythe from golden light was created.
"To questioned my authority?"
She put the end of the scythe near my neck.
How the hell am I questioning your authority when I am the one giving you advices right now.
"I am not, your holiness. If you are here to meet with the duke, then perhaps you would like to have a chat with me as you wait. I will answer all of your questions regarding the duke that are not classified"
"And just who are you to know so much about duke Dominique?"
"I am his loyal secretary, your holiness"
"For how long?"
"Five years"
"I see. What you said is indeed correct. I apologize for being impulsive. Follow me, I shall grant you the honor of having tea with me"
"I am extremely grateful to your kind consideration, your holiness"
I followed her. To be more precise, I was behind the two paladins since they deemed me suspicious.
It doesn't matter since I'm not here to kill her. It's not like I can anyway.
We entered a room where snacks and hot tea were already prepared.
So this is her other power
Is her personal maid who prepared all of this then?
I sat down after her.
"Now, let's talk. Why is duke Dominique here without prior notice?"
She sure is straightforward. And here I thought that she was going to talk about something trivial before asking me that.
"I am sorry but as I have said before I cannot disclose any confidential information without the permission from the duke"
"I see, then how about the duke's hobbies?"
"My lord's hobbies includes swimming, sword fighting as well as cooking food"
"Really? Then, is he seeing someone out?"
"Hmm..."
"Is there something wrong?"
"No, it is just that if you asking me if my lord is going out with someone then my answer would be a no. However, what I do know is that there is someone who he is currently seeing every night"
The handle on my cup cracked.
"Oh really. I thought that you were not allowed to disclose any important information about the duke?"
"Business related information and personal information are different. And, I do believe that your holiness won't do anything bad to the duke with the information I am telling you"
"Why would I?"
She laughed at my slight provocation off.
"Can you describe this woman who has been seeing the grand duke?"
"The woman who my lord is seeing in the night is a woman who has black hair and is quite smaller than the average height for girls. She always comes out with ragged clothes and marks on her body"
The vase exploded.
A maid quickly cleaned it up and excused herself as fast as he can.
"Are you telling me that they are..."
"I am not. What I am telling you right now, your holiness, is something that I've seen myself. I do not know what they do as I do not have the right to pry for my lord's personal life. It was also him who said to treat the girl well so I do also do not have the right to question the girl's identity since the lord himself said that it is alright"
I'm not going to die here, am I?
"Are there things that the duke likes?"
Oh, she change the topic.
"My lord does love sweets but not to sweet. He also like females who have good thighs"
"How did you know about that?"
"While I was working, my lord and his friend, duke Azara were talking about their taste in women which is why I accidentally overheard their conversation"
"Anything more about that conversation that you accidentally heard?"
"Yes. If memory serves me right, he said that he like women who are weak and relies on him. And that he likes to lead things as he is the alpha"
"I see! That is very wonderful"
Which part was wonderful?
The door opened.
Oh my. Why are they naked? And who the hell are they?
