Chapter 17
After I have cleaned the mess in the port, I then went back to the mansion, of course, I walked from the port to the town, having a stroll once or twice isn't a problem, and I also needed to see the port in my very own eyes. It's been truly a while since I have been here, a lot of changes happened since then, and I can't just be too relax, so I need to at least see how the whole town I have been assigned to govern has been.
I was then looking around the vicinity, from the market to the highway till the town, probing and investigating as I walked, as I should know how the law, rules, and regulation were implemented? How does those who tasked to supervise reign? How does the citizen, tourist, and merchants live? How does the place been? And how will the place will be? And all of those were taken account, as I stroll around.
After 3 hours of walked or 4, I then arrived at my mansion. And there I saw her, standing and waiting for my arrival at the mansion's gate, Cecile, my lady-in-waiting, but for some reason, she's alone
"Welcome back, my lady"
"Yes, I'm back, Cecile. Any major things happen while I was away?"
I asked
"For the time being, there were none my lady. Quite few intervention happens, but it were all taken care off already"
She replied, like usual, a quite upfront and straightforward answer, with a relax expression, and cold demeanor
"The mansion seems quiet, where are they?"
"...as I said my lady, I already cleaned the mansion, thoroughly. Every nook and cranny of the mansion, were all inspected"
"...I see..... so be it then"
I replied in a bit lonesome and anger voice. I was quite-no, truly surprised to what Cecile spoke.
'So they all have been.....'
I really did wish it wouldn't end up like that, but I guess it wouldn't. We then entered the mansion
Sip
"Nhmm~...."
As I exclaimed. Right now, I'm sitting in the sofa at the [Grand Room], leisurely drinking the tea Cecile brewed for me, with a couple of sweets and evening snacks that she also prepared for me. I then placed the tea cup on the plate I was holding, and mutter
"Was it inevitable?"
"....yes, it was my lady"
I then closed my eyes ,as I heard her reply
".....the head of the manservant, Butler Kim?"
"...."
Cecile stood still as I asked her. She then snapped her finger, and a shadow figure then emerge behind her
"....how unfortunate"
I spoke, as the figure of the shadow was someone I truly hold dear to me
"How about the Head Maid Clae?"
Cecile then snapped her finger again, and then another shadow appeared behind her, both stood beside her at the right, with blank expression, and lifeless emotion
"...today seems a heavy day, isn't it? I didn't expect such turn of event shall come one day.....how tragic"
I said, as I dejectedly look at the tea, before I took another sip
"It was, my lady"
Cecile spoke, in not quite serious, but neither gloom response. She then looked at the two for a bit some time, before they disappeared, and submerged themselves into the shadow
Sip
"She's taking so long. Do I need to fetch her, my lady? I shall bring that problem child here in a matter of second"
"There's no need for that, we shall wait a bit. I think it's been a while since she could roam around freely. Let her have her time, we aren't rushing anyway"
I said, as I took another sip of the tea
"My lady is right old hag, can't you just stay still, and wait?"
I then turned my gaze towards the voice, and saw the person I was anticipating
"Took you so long, Aile-la, something happen?" (note: pronounce as ale then la)
In concern I asked
"Don't worry my lady, nothing major happens. I just took a turn for a bit, that's why I was a bit late"
She said with a "hehe", as she makes a cute expression
"Took a turn? Have our dear Aile-la already attached to his lordship? Was it so good that you can't take your eyes away from it?"
Cecile refute
"Heh!? Of course not! That fatty can't compete to darling even a slight!"
Aile-la yell as she pouted
'How cute~'
"Oh~, so you are now referring him as darling now?"
Cecile asked as she grinned and raised an eyebrow
"W-w-well...y-y-you see....."
She shutteringly spoke, while fidgeting. In her embarrassment, she then averted her gaze from mine
"Mooo~!"
She yelled, as she stomp her left foot – 4 times - and turned her gaze at me with a pout
"It's your fault! It's my lady's fault!"
"Eh?!"
I exclaimed. Just like a child, she complained and placed the blame on me
"It's your fault! How dare you to let me see such dazzling, handsome, humble, cool, daring, and most of all.....romantic young man!" (Note: I'm so sorry if it's cringe, but she is a child in an adults body)
She stated, as she placed her left hand on her chest, and raised her right up as she spins herself, as if she was in a dance play, or a theater act
"How embarassing"
Cecile said, as she massage her temples
"Ha!?"
Aile-la refute, as she placed her hands on her waist, these two are starting again
"I don't care old hag, and also, romance is for teens only!"
Cecile then frowned as she heard her, and spoke as she raised her voice
"You! For your information, I am still quite young"
"Yeah, for YOUR knowledge"
Aile-la said in a sarcastic tone, which made Cecile irritated, sigh these two
"So my lady, please help me, help me become his!"
Aile-la beg as she kneeled before me
'Her switch change quickly'
"Sigh, don't worry, I will help you out"
"Really!?"
She then looked at me with expectation, with sparkling eyes like a hundred jewels, dazzling in the sunlight.
"Of course, in fact, I welcome you Aile-la, as I trust you. I know you wouldn't betray darling, but it's up to him if he would accept you, or not"
"Okay~!"
"You also need to remember that, I'm not the only one you needed to get the approval off. Sheryl is his first wife, and Natsumi his second"
"Don't worry, I can make them do so~!"
She replied, as she stood up with a twirl, and proudly proclaimed, as she placed both of her hands on her waist
"Please don't spoil her, my lady"
"Don't worry, like I said, I welcome her. But it's up to her how she will make darling welcome her"
(Aile-la's POV)
5 years ago, in the 3rd month of autumn (note: november), deep in the forest I meet my master, my lady, Isabelle Fall, as I was hunting for my food. At that time, there were no hostility between us. I was then adopted by her.
3 years later, at the 1st month of spring (note: march), days pass since then, followed by weeks and months, the two of us became friends, companions, and partners. We then became sworn sisters, as we shared our happiness to each other, our pain, our sadness, and our time to one another.
During the 2nd month of the summer (note: july), I was able to procure an unexpected skill, that I didn't know I would be able to obtain, [Memory Probe]. As I don't know how to use it, I accidentally aimed it at my sister, and saw her deepest memories, from her past and present, but I can't look to those memories that are more than a month pass. And there I saw him, my sister's lover, my master's fated person, and her dearest beloved, Creeper, my lady's precious someone.
I stared at him in the memory of my sister. As the vision was so clear like untouched river stream, I was able to look at him truly, fixing my gaze only at him. His face, his eyes, his cheeks, his arms, his chest, his abdomen, his legs, and his feet were all....
"Superb"
I stated, as I blushingly stared at him, I was in love. It was love at first sight. Yes I want him, I want him so bad that I hurriedly went over to where my lady was - reading a book in a sofa. I then told her everything, about my new skill that I just obtained, how I meet this young man like a fairy tale book, and how I want him to be mine, and me to be his. My lady was surprised to what I just spoke at her, and then nag me after I told her that I used it at her first, accidentally of course. She then looked at me with a fixed gaze, and utter
"Not now, not yet"
In a gloomy tone she spoke, I was puzzled. Why? I asked myself. There might be a hidden message to it? Was there something that sister can't voice out yet? Puzzle, I keep thinking.
In the 1st month of autumn (note: september), I took another secret peek on my lady's memory. I sneakily took it while she nap. She always let her guard down when she's at home, and to someone she hold dear, so I was able to use my skill without her noticing. And there I saw, the reason of her rejection that time, Sir Creeper didn't yet accepted my sister-no he can't, for some reason, he can't accept her
'Why? My lady is quite a beauty and a noble. She's also hella strong! She's strong both mentally and physically, so why? Why wouldn't he accept her? She's caring, loving, and responsible woman, so how?'
With such thought I felt dejected, as my appearance is the same as her.
'If he doesn't like her, then what about me, someone that just a copy of hers?'
So I collected my thought and settle down, and be patient.
In the 2nd month of spring (note: april), last week, I was getting impatient so I used my skill, [Memory Probe], again, and tried to obtain any info about my lady's romance, and there, a blissful occasion happened, as my lady's long love story, my sister's long awaited love was now granted, bloomed, as Sir Creeper just accepted her for almost a long years now – 7 to be exact. I was also happy, as I just needed to get my lady's approval and assistance, and I'm sure I will be his in no time, with such, I then tried probing more, which ended in something I didn't expect
"!?!....o-o-oh my gosh!....t-th-that is....l-l-lewd….!!"
I shutteringly spoke, as I blushed to what I just saw, as my first love and my dearest sister, were connected to each other, one body and one soul.
'They are having SEX!'
I then saw my lady who is dignified, and quite frankly speaking, have a steel of resolve, were moaning like a whore, expressing her delight and pleasure with such expression, were shocking!
'I want to feel that too! I want to be ravished just like that!'
I thoughtly yelled. I then made up my mind
'I want nobody else than him, I want him, and him alone!'
So as soon I was tasked to play the role of a whore for that bastard piggy, I was disgusted. I really wanted a clean record for him, but I can't complain, neither protests. My lady had a tasked that is far dangerous than mine, while Cecile-ahem had a job to clean all the messy rats in the area, so I was left with an easy task, but I still felt vomiting my organs just imagining it
"....so how should I do this?"
I thought. Do I have to wiggle my butt for that bastard to look at me only? Disgusting! I rather sway my ass naked to darling like a damn whore, than to please this scumbag! But as soon I felt like I was lost, I then thought of something that would turn the situation on my side
"Why not just copy a whore's memory, and replace mine, boom! Genius!"
"Aile-la?"
"Y-yesh!?"
As I hurriedly turn myself and look at my lady, I shuttered, which is so embarrassing! My lady just chuckled, while that old hag didn't flinched
'Tsk'
I then went towards where my lady seated, and sat beside her, not that close though. My lady then took a sip on her tea, and placed it on her plate that she was holding, and looked at me
"This might be rude of me to ask but Aile-la... are you st-"
"Yes! I am still a virgin, my lady!"
I yelled, as I interrupted my lady words – though it was so rude of me. She was quite taken aback, while Cecile looked at me with suspicious, and questioning gaze
'Hmph!'
"....how?"
Ahem!
I then strengthen my posture, clear my throat, buff my chest out – which I don't have - and look at them with dignity and pride
"You already know about my [Shift] and [Copy] skill, right?"
My lady then nodded
"So during that time, I used [Copy] [Shift: Succubus], so that he will only be allured by me. I then activated [Copy] [Shift: Slime], and used [Reformation], to create another body replacement for me, and then casted [Memory Alter], which I copied from a woman, to make sure my act is splendid. With that, even how many times he violated me, he will never, and ever be able to take my virginity away!"
I stated with a smug, as I crossed my arms, and raise my chin up
"Fufufu.....I'm so proud of you, Aile-la"
My lady replied as she giggled, and look at me
"T-t-that's to be expected! Hmph!"
I embarrassing responded. My lady just giggled, then took a sip on her tea
".....there's another one I noticed. Aile-la, you became stronger than before, something happened? You didn't fight anyone right?"
She asked, worriedly
"Hehehe glad you asked my lady, fufufu"
I stated, as I flipped my hair in the left, and moved a bit closer towards her, and just enough distance for that old hag to also hear. I then spoke, as I placed my right hand in crescent form in my mouth
"I [Copy] [Shift: Menmendas], and used [Vaginal Teeth], and now I'm at mid gold rank!"
Pffftt!
Cough Cough Cough
"My lady!"
As me and Cecile called out worriedly, as my lady just spit the tea she just drank, and now just got choke
"Pfftt....ahahahahh"
"E-eh? Ehh....? H-huh...!?"
"My lady?"
I was baffled to what happened next, while Cecile was bewildered, as my lady just burst in laughter.
{Menmendas}, a Ghost-Ghoul like monster, a female monster. They are like {Succubus} and {Mermaid} combined. They coax men with their body and beautiful siren voice, luring them in the deep fog. If the men took the bait, they won't be seen again. Young, old, single, or even married, as long it's a man, they will appear. Even someone who likes men can't escape from her.
{Menmendas} strength varies on how many men they have seduced. 10ths to 50ths has a gold rank, 51st till 70ths has a platinum rank, while 71st to 100ths has an emerald rank prowess, while utilizing one of their greatest weapon, yes, their cunt! [Vaginal Teeth], like a hundred teeth inside their pussy. Just imagine a {Devil Worms} mouth on a female pussy. Men's who have intercourse wouldn't felt pain, but their life force will be sucked until they became drained and weak, with that happened, the {Menmendas} then closed their legs, chopping the man in half before eating them
"You totally used that on him?! Ahahhaah! Oh my gosh ahahahah"
"Y-yes, I need to do so if wanted to be strong. I wasn't really anticipating that I have to use it there though"
"Why?"
She asked, as she wiped the tears in her eye
"Because of his thing"
"His thing? What about it?"
"Yes, his cock was basically not his, it came from an {Orc}. Maybe at peak platinum rank, or early emerald, I don't know. But thanks to that, I jump 3 ranks up!"
"....so he decided to use [Transplant] then"
"I also thought that. That {Orc} dick had some leftover aura of a strong monster, so it was able to help me strengthen up"
My lady then smiled at me
"I'm impressed and proud of you, Aile-la. You are growing up"
"O-of course my lady, I'm not a kid anymore, I'm a grown up!"
"That's what a kid would say" (note; cecile)
"You!"
"Aile-la"
"Y-yes?"
I was surprised to sudden change of tone of my lady.
'Did I said, something wrong? Wait, is it because I said I'm a grown up?!'
I was puzzled. My lady then placed her tea cup on the table. She then faced me and smiled,
'Yikes!'
She then raised both of her hands, and placed it on my cheeks, and then stretch it
"Ow ow ow ow owwweyyy m-m-muay lwady owowwowwweyyy!"
"What did I told you last time, Aile-la?"
"H-huh...!? U-u-mm....a-ahhh umm....d-d-don't be stupid....?"
"...don't call me my lady, but big sis, got that?"
"B-b-but my l-oowwweyy!"
She then smiled at me as she pinched my cheeks
"B-b-big sis, sooweeyyy!"
"See"
She then took her hands from my cheeks, and smilingly took her tea back and sipped, while I just brushed my cheeks that was redden and swollen, and murmured
"Bully"
"Anything else happened?"
My la-Bis sis asked
"Hmmm.....I think ther-oh wait!"
I yelled, as I placed my hands on my cheeks
"Big sis, there was one! I don't know why but, that fatty did something to me"
"What!? Did he hurt you? What did he do!?"
Big sis pissingly asked, as she then slammed her cup on table – for some reason, it didn't broke - and glared at me.
'Eekk! She's hella scary!'
"N-no he didn't, or like he can't, so no worry! What I meant was, during the time we dine in together for lunch, which is after you have left, I felt dizzy for some reason. My body then became so weak, and my mind gone blank. And after I got up, I then found myself chained in that disgusting room of his"
"...anything else?"
"Yes, and for some reason, I keep praising him"
"Praising?"
Big sis Isabelle asked, as she raised an eyebrow at me
"Yes, I keep admiring him, like how good looking he was even he wasn't, and how I want to be pamper by him, like that. It's like I'm in love"
"Ara~, so the reason you took so long, is that you wanted to say your last farewell to your beloved piggy? Being so young truly is romantic fufufu"
Cecile teasingly spoke, while she covered her mouth with her left hand
"W-what!? Him? Yuck! Ewww! Disgusting!! He isn't even a millimeter good as darling-no, not even teensy bitsy witsy bit! He can't even compare to darling!"
I protest, but Cecile just chuckled which made me irritated
(Isabelle's POV)
"....."
I was lost in thought when Aile-la, my little sister, told me about something that I also experienced, a sudden dizziness, and a bit of horniness when I was deep inside the forest. I was thankful I have a strong mental fortitude that time, or I will totally lose it, and might spend some time with a monster. I then took a sip of my tea and spoke
"Cecile, try investigating anything about what Aile-la reported just now"
"Yes, my lady"
"And see to it if our attendees would attend tomorrow evening's bonquet-no, make them do. I hate stray rats in my town, especially those contagious one"
"Yes, my lady"
(Cecile's POV)
Snap
I then snapped my finger, and summoned my servants. The 3 then appeared behind me as they kneeled down
"You already heard my lady, go"
I spoke without looking back at them. The 3 then bowed and vanished
"Woah~, so cool!"
I then turned my gaze towards the voice, and saw Aile-la looking at me with amazement, and for some reason, it made me smile
'Oh my, what could this be?'
I thoughtly asked, as my heart suddenly beat in the most pleasant tone
(Isabelle's POV)
"You look like one of those ninjas!!"
Aile-la uttered with astonishment. I just smiled as I saw her acting like how a child should be
"As everything is already planned, we just have to wait for our stage actors to play their roles. For the time being, let us just be on our guard for anything unexpected"
I stated. I then look at Aile-la
"But first and foremost, I think someone needs to have a dip. Why don't you go Aile-la?"
"Well.....yeah, I think I need to take a bath. *sniff* *sniff* I hate the scent that lingers on me"
"Well then, Cecile, please take care of her, I just need to finish something upstair"
"Yes, my lady"
I then stood up and walked towards the stair, after I placed the cup of tea I just drank
"E-eh...!?! B—bi-big sis...? Hey-eeep!!"
"Quit your yapping young lady, and follow me! You smell like rotten dead Goblin, you stink!"
"H-hey!! Don't pull me!!"
As I walked upstairs, I could still hear those two arguing
"Wish they could at least be honest to their feelings, especially Aile-la"
I spoke
(Cecile's POV)
"Close your eyes"
I said, as I poured a bucket of water to Aile-la.
After my lady went up, I was then tasked to clean this spoiled "grown up". Both of us then went into the [Master Bath] in the 1st floor, which is just behind the [Grand Room], separated by a thick wall. Both of us nakedly entered the bathtub.
I meet Aile-la after my lady went back to the estate in the afternoon. Bringing a woman that has the same height as her, with dirty and tattered clothes, and unhygienic body, with also a face that seems identical to my lady.
Lady Aile-la was quite meek and sometimes curious, she always tend to ask me question after question. "Why do we need to cook that egg?", "what kind of chicken is that?" "is that food?" were all the questions she tend to asked me, though it's quite annoying, but relaxing nevertheless. I can still remember one time that she almost swallowed a little {Red-Spotted Gecko}, that just crawled out from a rock. She's a handful one.
Aile-la has a very peculiar body, it grows or develop much faster than her mind process, like how a child mind was placed inside an adult body, which is truly puzzling. I was tasked to take care of her, so it was truly stressful. Comparing her to my lady when she was still young, I could say that these two are like sisters
"Where did you roll off anyway? How come you stink like a thousand Kobolds just peed at you?"
I asked, as I poured another drop of water unto her
"I-I-I don't know..."
She shyly answered, as she hugged herself with her knee close
"...is that so. So, how have you been?"
"Fine...."
With a meek voice, she replied
"Close your eyes"
I said, as I applied some hair conditioner at Aile-la - I was kneeling down, while Aile-la seated
"Is that so...anything to talk about? Bottling something to yourself isn't good"
"....I-It's nothing..... really..."
She poutly spoke
"Is that so, how unfortunate then"
"?"
I then smiled, as I scrub the conditioner on her hair, making it bubbly and foamy
"I thought Miss Aile-la is already a grownup, such a shame"
"B-b-being a grownup has privacy!"
"Being a grownup means to open up, to communicate. Soloing everything on your own isn't going to help anything. You aren't a child that need to be pampered, if you have a problem then speak up, if its hard then asked"
I said, as I comb her hair
"T-t-tha-I bluob blob blob"
"Don't play with the bath water"
I scoldly asked
".....blob....blob....blob...."
'Sigh, if I weren't told that she was adopted, I might think she and my lady are truly sisters. What a headache'
"Sigh, what seems to be problem, young lady Aile-la?"
I teasingly spoke
"....."
But she didn't answer to my question. I just smiled as I saw her being like this
"You can tell me everything. I promise, I won't tell my lady"
"R-really?"
I smiled, as she turned her head a bit in the side, peeking at me with her big round eyes
"Yes, so, what's the matter?"
"U-ummm.....y-you see..."
Aile-la then hugged her legs, and tightly embraced her own
"What is it?"
"D-do you think he will l-l-like me...?"
She mutters, as she leaned her head on her knees
".....Sir Creeper isn't someone gullible, neither judgemental. His quite optimistic, rational, and open-minded person. He tends to be reckless, but that's his nature, but all the time, his cautious, and resourceful individual. His smart, reliable, kind, humble, and most of all, a caring person. So if you ask me if he will like you? My answer is yes, but if you wanted more than that, beyond just a mere likeness, then seek that answer of yours, by yours alone"
".....I see..."
She spoke, though it's quite low, but it does hid a bit of relief
"Raise your arm"
As I said that, she then raised her right arm
"You won't know what fish you caught, if you don't rail it up" it was a word that someone dear to me spoke. That person told me not be afraid to the unexpected, but to what you unexpectedly expected. Sometimes, it's hard to fill up what you lack, if you expect someone to just put those missing ones. It's much better to find someone who would give you more than, what you lack. Now the other arm"
".....s-so what should I do then?"
"Ask. Ask and find out. If it's something that might hurt you, just ran back at me, I'll fill up those you lack. What you missed will be the piece I will gather, so don't be afraid, and asked. Now then closed your eyes"
Aile-la then went on silent for a bit
".....t-t-thank you...m…m-mom…."
"!?!"
I was totally surprised to what Aile-la just called me. I then smiled and chuckled, to my blushing little lady "grownup"
"It's been a while since you have called me that, how peculiar"
"T-t-that's just slip of my m-mouth! Hmph!"
She then submerged herself in the bathtub, as she pouted. I just giggled, as she acted like a child.
Aile-la isn't really my daughter, she just called me that when she begin to get attached to me. "Can I call you mom?" she said. I was truly surprised when she spoke those words. It was something I truly didn't expect from her. But as soon as she realized what she just said, she then hurriedly hide herself in the bathtub "T-that's just slip of my m-mouth! Blob blob blob" which made me laughed
"Ara~, Is that so? Sigh how unfortunate then"
I then looked at her as she hugs herself, as I rest my right hand to my cheeks
"I guess the information I have about Sir Creeper isn't useful then, what to do?"
I then took a peek to Aile-LA, and saw her slowly raised her head up, and turned around
"Ara~, interested?"
"I-I-It's not like I wanted to hear it or anything! I j-just like u-umm....curious, yes! Curious! That's all!"
She blushingly spoke. I then sat down next to her, and looked at her
"Is that so~?"
I teasingly asked, which made my cute little girl to blushed like a steamed bun
"Y-you bully!"
"Fufufu~"
I then took the chance and hugged her, as our cheeks leaned each other
"M-mom's a bully!"
(Isabelle's POV)
Giggled
I was giggling behind the wall, just a distance from them, thanks to my skill, [Alpha Sensitivity], which boosted all my senses, so listening to those two that just a 5 meters away from me, isn't a problem
"I wish they could this be open in front of us, especially Aile-la"
I said, as I placed both of my arms just below my breast
"....so this is what it feels to be a mother...."
I muttered, as I touched my belly with my left hand, and gently caress it
"I can't wait"
