The scandal that Luidae had caused was reported to my father, who had hurriedly returned home. My father and I then discussed what to do with Luidae and Rachelle. Although it was known within the mansion that something had happened, everyone tried not to touch the matter, and on the surface things continued as usual.
Luidae and Rachelle have not been released from their restraints. When I checked with Lina, I found out that they were being thorough, even using urinals. Aries and Lina were keeping them under house arrest.
My father was also holding his head when he heard the details. He was hit by a dead ball aimed at his head from an unexpected place, I can understand how he felt. I thought about questioning him myself, but I didn't. It must have been painful for him to see Rachelle's face.
"As for Luidae, I will make her my slave under Allen's care. No objections there."
"Yes, father. I think that punishment is appropriate... but what about the duration?"
In this world, it is rare for someone to become a slave for life. Slavery is something like a prison sentence, recognized under private law. Of course, there is a judicial system in the state, but when it comes to issues related to territories or the family of nobles, they are dealt with privately like this, without incurring too much cost.
"First, let me hear Allen's opinion."
"That's right... three years... no, three months on top of that. I think around spring would be appropriate."
"Oh, so that's how you dispose of it. That's surprisingly easy."
"There is also the issue of how to treat the Kamsha people, so I think we need to use both the carrot and the stick in this case."
There's a reason why I said Father was lenient. Yes, I told Father that I wanted to take Luidae back as a concubine once her period of slavery was over. If all went well, I would marry my legal wife as soon as the graduation ceremony was over. I would then wait at least two months before taking Lina as my second wife. Then, after a few more months, I would take Karen as my third wife.
"But why did you choose spring? I think winter would be just fine... Wait a minute, Allen, don't tell me you're engaged to another woman besides Karen?"
My father makes a bitter expression. I don't trust you when it comes to the lower half of your body. But that's the right answer. I've already had extramarital sex with your second and sixth wives and ejaculated inside them with their permission. But I think it's not me, it's your father's genes that are to blame.
"No, that's not the case. I'm jumping ahead a bit, but I would like to treat Rachelle in the same way."
Father frowned when he heard what I said. Well, that's what happens when you suddenly propose something like that. Father must be very worried about what to do with Rachelle. If he were to simply remove her from her position as wife as punishment, it would be almost impossible for Rachelle to find a new husband. After all, that would incur the Count's wrath.
I personally don't think this is a bad idea. Eventually, I'll make Rachelle the fourth wife and Luidae the fifth wife. Of course, I'm also a little in love with Rachelle, who was my first sexual partner and even had an affair with me. And, well, since I've been reincarnated into this world, I'd like to have a threesome with the sisters.
Oh, we are also considering practical issues. This incident has revealed that the Kamsha tribe is a landmine buried in our territory. If we consider Luidae's rampage as just the tip of the iceberg, how to adjust the treatment of the Kamsha tribe is a very important issue. I thought it was a peaceful world, but there are definitely distortions.
"When the time comes, I will pardon Rachelle first and make her the Fourth Wife. Then, at Rachelle's request, I will pardon Luidae as well."
Father thought deeply about my suggestion, put his hand to his chin, and after a moment of silence, he muttered something.
"Are you going to make Rachelle your slave?"
From the father's point of view, his wife, who is currently having sex with him with great enthusiasm in order to give birth to a child, is being sold off as his son's sex slave. It must be complicated for him to have his son having sex with the woman he was having sex with until recently in the same mansion.
Ah, it was a different story that Rachelle took her virginity. It was a privileged custom for nobles, especially the eldest son. If his younger brother Cedric wanted to lose his virginity before selecting an attendent, I think he would normally have had his virginity taken at a brothel.
"Well, that's true. I'm sure that both Rachelle and Luidae will be satisfied with that punishment. If you have made up your mind, you can tell them about the appointment of the wife. However, please don't mention it to the rest of the household. That's right... I'll keep it to Beatrice. Ah, you can tell Lina first."
Father told me the name of the fifth wife. With this, it was decided that Father, his wives, me, and Lina would all be kept secret. In this world, the simplicity of such decision-making is amazing.
"Thank you, Father. That's all."
I bowed my head and stood up to go back to my room. At that moment, I suddenly remembered something and asked my father.
"By the way, did your talk with His Highness the King's younger brother go smoothly?"
I asked about the scheme to have Elisha attend the Crown Prince, but Father seemed to have a different idea and just grinned.
"Well, we'll see. It's not a bad thing for your future."
Although I tilted my head at that answer, I returned to Rachelle's room to hand down the punishment.
*********
Allen's father, Count Hugo, sighed as Allen left the room.
"His academic performance is excellent, he is able to deal with unexpected situations at his age, and he also has the cunning to see into the future… His softness towards women is a bit of an issue, but I guess if he increases the number of concubines, things will calm down."
Then, from a hidden drawer in his desk, he took out a report that was only shared with the royal family and a select few nobles. Yugo had not obtained it legitimately, but had been given it in secret by the king's younger brother, Duke Raymond. The report described the latest developments in other countries.
"I wanted him to follow the royal path in the financial world like me, but... it's true, Duke Raymond is right, a business like *** might be a better fit for him. That's why Elisha needs to work hard... Allen needs the title of brother-in-law of the next emperor."
Even in this peaceful world, a foreign object called *** was thrown into it, and as a result, small ripples were beginning to appear.
*********
I entered Rachelle's room, released the two from their restraints, and then informed them of their punishment.
"It will take some time before we can officially make Rachelle a slave, so please stay in this room until then. However, please refrain from exercising your authority as a concubine and remain in confinement."
"Thank you so much for such a generous treatment. I will repay this kindness with my whole life."
Sitting on the floor, Rachelle bowed deeply. Next to her, Luidae also quickly bowed her head. Aries and Lina looked relieved.
"You should also keep in mind that I will not necessarily make you a concubine after three years, Luidae. If you perform poorly as a slave and are not well-received by the servants, I will banish you after you are freed."
No, to be honest, there's no way they could be banished. It seems like Rachelle will be okay, but I'll warn her that it would be a problem if Luidae were to do things too casually.
"Now then, we will complete the formal slave procedures tomorrow, but today we will check your hymen. Luidae, get naked."
Luidae's eyes widened when I suddenly said that.
"Come on, hurry up. Do you think a slave has the right to refuse?" I pressed her again, and she began to take off her clothes, a little frightened.
"And my u-underwear too...?!" she asked, to which I replied, of course. Luidae timidly stripped off her clothes, and her naked body was quite fleshy for her age. It was like Rachelle's body from 10 years ago.
Rachelle looked away in pain, but Aries and Lina looked calm. That's right, someone with experience as an attendant wouldn't be embarrassed by this much, right?
"Lina, let me borrow your collar."
At my request, Lina removed her own collar and put it around Luidae's neck. Just one collar can make you look like a slave.
Looking at it, I gave instructions to Luidae.
"Spread your legs and open your pussy with both hands."
At this point, I could no longer hide my excitement. Luidae's face went red at the command, but she timidly began to open her legs.
"Ahh... I'm so embarrassed..."
As she said this, she opened her private parts with the fingers of both hands. There was a pink mucous membrane spreading there. I moved my face closer and observed it carefully.
"Hmm, it's a beautiful thing. Looks like it's been well taken care of."
"T-thank you young master... Could you confirm that Luidae is a virgin?"
Luidae's face turned even redder.
"Yes, I have confirmed your hymen. Tomorrow, when I officially make you my slave, I will take your virginity, so be prepared for that."
"Yes, thank you very much young master. Please treat me well..."
"Luidae, don't just say 'please treat me well', ask like a proper slave. It's also a declaration that from now on you will serve young master Allen with both body and mind."
"Yes, Lady Lina, I'm sorry... Young Master, please penetrate this slave, Luidae's virgin pussy with your noble cock and mark her as your property."
"Luidae, it is not appropriate for a slave to call 'Young Master'. You will be the Young Master's slave, his property, so you should call him 'Master'. While you are a slave, you must not reveal to anyone outside that you are a potential future concubine. Don't forget that this is a secret agreement."
"Yes, Aries-sama, I'm sorry..."
The girls pointed out to Luidae, who was naked and exposing her vagina. If you think about it, every woman in this room, except for Luidae, has had sex with me... No wonder I'm number one in the school's sex mania rankings.
Leaving Lina and the others to clean up and prepare the slaves' rooms, I called Lila, Luidae's fellow maid, into my room. I told her that Luidae had committed a crime and become a slave, that from tomorrow they would be sharing separate rooms, and that since Luidae was a slave, Lila would be in a higher position, so they should maintain a proper hierarchical relationship during work.
"I understand... Could you please be careful not to let the other maids bully Luidae?"
Lila asked anxiously, her eyes filling with tears. I told her there was no problem. I had sexually harassed Lila and Luidae by showing them Lina and I having sex... but from now on Luidae will be the one being fucked. With Rachelle now in the mix, the rotation will be difficult...
"Anyway, the most important thing is how Lila, who was my best friend, acts. I know this is hard to say, but I'll be sure to ask of you."
"Yes... I understand..."
Thus ended the action-packed day, and after Lina returned from cleaning up, I had sex with her more passionately than usual, told her I didn't need her service in the morning, and went to sleep.
