Cassian made a beeline to his room after he got the slip containing information about the summoning of a Great Spirit. Spirits are magical beings mage of mana and hold great power over the elements. They are usually used as summons and supports to grant more power to the wielder.
Lower ranked spirits or newly born spirits don't have a personality or ego and as such are just gathering of power and would give their powers to anyone, though they are also relatively weak as well.
Among them Great Spirits are of importance due to the powers that they command. They also have personalities as well due to their higher rank. They are easily said to have enough power to destroy a country and have good control over the forces of nature. Of course, they are also divided into two types.
The spirits can be divided into two based on their essence. They are the normal spirits and the evil Dark Spirits. The spirits are either good or bad and their personalities are based on them. The spirits also have the unique ability to see a person's soul and know if they are good or bad.
Which is also the reason why getting a spirit for oneself is quite hard as most spirits don't like humans with a bad heart. Dark Spirits usually don't appear from a summoning but there are records of Great Dark Spirits being summoned and usually they give their summoners immense power which they use for their own gains. The effects are usually devastating for the world and the summoning of a Great Dark Spirit is usually seen as a bad omen.
In contrast, Great Spirits are seen as a good thing amongst the civilizations. Usually those who had managed to get to summon a Great Spirit have usually been able to become great heroes and notable figures in history. And the power they give is also no joke as the world also fears them due to it.
That being the case, the fact that his family had something like this was shocking to him. He briefly wondered why no one used it but then chalked it up to the fact that they weren't sure if the spirit they summoned would actually choose them.
'That is also a problem for me. If the Great Spirit doesn't like me then it might go away. And I don't know if summoning a Dark Spirit would be good for me. Unless of course I have something in my shop.' Cassian thought to himself as he opened his shop.
He looked through the many items and spells in there and tried to find one which could help him. Soon however he finally managed to stumble upon a spell which was just the right one for the occasion.
[Spell: Spirit Binding (Rank-Great)]
[This spell allows the user to bind a Great Spirit to themselves and bend it to their will. The Great Spirit will not be able to defy the user no matter how much it wishes.]
[Warning: The spell binds the spirit to the user's soul due to its spiritual nature. The user will need great willpower to accomodate the binding and if not then the soul of the user could be in great danger.
[GP: 5000]
"Well, that sucks." Cassian said as he looked at the description.
'I'm also 4500 GP short.' Cassian thought to himself as he looked at the GP he has left.
"Alright, so I have this. Now I just have to get the GP to buy the spell. And also some mental training as well, just in case." Cassian said to himself as he made a plan.
'There are a lot of prey in the mansion after all.' Cassian thought to himself as he smirked slightly.
He already had made the order in which he would be subjugating the people inside his mansion. Though the most problematic ones are his own family. He knew that they wouldn't like it and his half-sister and her mother didn't like him very much. And that's not counting his father who cares little about him.
'I'll turn Alicia and her mother into my slaves as well. And I'll show them their place.' Cassian thought to himself as he smirked at the thought.
Time skip
"You had called me Master?" Maria asked as she walked inside his room.
"Yes. I noticed that you have been glancing at me for sometime now. Is there a reason for that behaviour of yours?" Cassian asked her seriously.
Maria was surprised when she heard that, most likely not expecting him to have noticed her gaze on him.
"I'm truly sorry my lord. I was just wondering why you have been calling Caitlin to your room so late at night." Maria said to him as she apologized while giving him a bow.
"Is that so? Are you worried about her? Do you think that I might harm her?" Cassian asked her curiously.
"N-No my lord. I would never dare to even entertain the thought. Caitlin has been perfectly fine so I don't think you will harm her." Maria said to him with a bow as her voice shook a bit.
'Hmm, I don't believe her. She might've thought it.' Cassian thought to himself as he looked at her.
"In any case, she will be coming to my room tonight as well." Cassian said to her calmly.
"My lord, if I may be so bold. Why do you want her to come here at night?" Maria asked him as she looked at him.
"That's the question isn't it? To put it simply, I'm just using her body to pleasure myself." Cassian said to her nonchalantly.
A gasp escaped Maria's lips when she heard his words as she looked at him horrified.
"U-Using her body to pleasure yourself? But my lord, Caitlin is a sweet girl, doing something like that to her." Maria said to him shocked and horrified.
"And do you have a problem with that? She is a maid in my mansion, I can do whatever I want to her." Cassian said to her in an authoritative tone.
Maria gulped when she heard that as she looked down conflicted and also surprised.
'Lord Cassian never had this presence to him before. What changed?' Maria thought to herself as she raised her head to look at him.
"Please, my lord, don't do anything to her. She is an innocent girl." Maria pleaded to him as she bowed to him.
'Too late for that. She is already my woman and slave.' Cassian thought to himself before looking at the clock.
On it the time 9:40 is shown which alerted him to the fact that Caitlin will come to his room in approximately 20 minutes. He looked at the bowing form of Maria in front of him and he could see her breasts as he licked her lips once when he saw that.
"Alright, I can do that." Cassian said to her with a smile.
"R-Really?" Maria asked him surprised.
'Oh thank God. I didn't think lord Cassian would do that.' Maria thought to herself relieved.
"In exchange, you will be the one who will be spending the night with me." Cassian said to her with a smirk.
"Eh?" Maria said surprised at his words.
