"Hello, hello! It's me, your lord and saviour- Edrick Lucien Anoteros, very kind of you to have opened your door for me, why are you trembling and sweating? Linmin, does this fellow have some fever?" inviting himself into one of those dingy households that seemed in the middle of falling apart, accompanied by both his wife and servant, he grabbed a chair that didn't seem like it would shatter under his weight and took a seat in what might be considered the living room.
"You probably didn't hear about it just yet as it only just began, but in all my compassion and generosity, I have decided to visit my lovely subjects and offer tax cuts" he explained with a bright smile, his hands and arms moving about to captivate the attention of the man.
"Huh? Oh… That's- That is so profoundly kind of you, Lord Anoteros! Oh, but I don't think I deserve such pity, you do not have to lower yourself and set foot in this filthy place-"
"You are a pretty bad actor, you know that? The last house had better performers… But anyways, I know that you are all afraid of me, but fret not, I may be a bit rough sometimes, perhaps a bit misunderstood even-" he kept his laughter in "-Do not worry for even a second, who apart from you live here?"
"My daughter…" the peasant squeezed under the gaze of Edrick and the two accompanying him, the latter somehow staring him down with greater abject disgust than the lord himself, who just seemed to be having a great time already.
"That's all?"
"My-" the man had to be careful there.
"My wife went to work as one of your maids…"
"Is that right Linmin?" the servant whispered the answer in Edrick's ear.
"Ah yes, I see who you are talking about, she was very good at her job indeed, where is that daughter of yours?"
Understanding that this question was basically a veiled order to bring her here, the father and daughter were soon both standing before their lord, Anoteros just tapping the tips of his fingers together, looking at something no one else could see and making faces like he was hesitating between different meals at a restaurant.
"It must be hard, no longer seeing your wife and mother, and I just happen to have a great idea! Two birds one stone as they say, you two should bond and this household won't have to pay any taxes for the next… Let's say three month"
"Excuse me, My Lord… But how could we bond for you to see? We couldn't possibly take up your time…" the daughter said.
"Huh, you peasants really turn awfully verbose when it comes to me, huh? Do I need to mime it, I want you to 'bond', that's what you call an euphemism" thought, it was no longer so when he was clearly demonstrating what he was demanding using his hands and fingers.
The father visibly paled.
"Hum… But if too many people don't pay taxes, it will hurt you, My Lord, So"
"Do not argue with me, I am rich enough to not need your measly coins, in fact, I am so rich, I'll add this small nugget of gold on top of the three months of no taxes, pretty alluring heh?" Edrick leaned forward, the chair groaning loudly.
The system was rather specific on this one, he had to convince them to go through with it using the promise of benefits and money alone, Edrick had to admit that it would be more genuine that way.
Anoteros watched intently.
This day was a great haul, managing to accomplish quite a fair bit of system missions, more had come to replace the completed ones, some even being follow-ups on others, the system really laser-focused on making certain people miserable it seemed.
Edrick was starting to think that it's personality had just been modelled after his at this point.
Arriving back at his residence, he opened a drawer and pulled out a book.
"Fanqia, I got you something" a little gift on his part since she seemed interested in knitting and weaving, as much as he liked having her be addicted to him, he couldn't always be around and she would need some hobbies to pass time, Edrick found one-trick ponies rather dislikable when it came to relationship, he wouldn't want to own something that had no other utilities other than pleasing him in bed.
Thankfully, Fanqia had already taken up a few things to do besides being his submissive wife.
"Thank you Lord Anoteros! I love you!" she jumped up to give him a kiss on the cheek before predictably strolling outside to begin reading.
Not even a second passed between Fanqia leaving the immediate area and the moment Edrick gave a good slap on Linmin's backside, making the servant yelp in surprise.
"Come to my room" he ordered.
Linmin instantly followed after him all the while unnecessarily fixing his hair and trying to hide the excited trembling that had overtaken his body.
'It's happening! It's actually happening- Lord Edrick and I are actually going to- I hope I won't disappoint him…' thinking madly about countless scenarios in the thirty seconds it took them to arrive to the room, Anoteros leading Linmin inside, pushing the servant against his back before stepping inside himself and shutting the door.
"Aherm… Won't Lady Fanqia question what is happening?" he asked, trying to appear perfectly composed.
"She knows very well that I was going to make you mine eventually, I only sent her away so as to give you my full attention, after all, when I'll have two wives, it won't be proper to just take care of one at a time, right?" as he spoke, his shirt came off, exposing his intensely-built muscles, which were still steadily improving day by day even if it wasn't noticeable visually.
Linmin swallowed his saliva, nodding shyly, face already redder than a tomato.
"Come on, take off your clothes" reminded Edrick.
"Y-Yes! Of course…" putting his sword on a nearby piece of furniture, the servant undid the dress he was wearing, and then whatever else he wore underneath, revealing some cute panties.
"Ah, you even began wearing girl's undergarments?"
"Your order was to crossdress… And your orders are absolute, so…"
"Aren't you obedient? Take them off as well"
Edrick had rarely gotten to get an idea of Linmin's naked form until now, and he was indeed very much feminine, more feminine that that daughter from earlier in fact, his skin was delicate, body lithe and although the chest was naturally completely flat save for the fact that both nipples were hardened- He did have a bit of fat were it mattered.
Still, it was but a minuscule amount, he wasn't anywhere close to Fanqia's attributes, and that was a good thing, the real sight was behind, small, but well rounded buttocks that Edrick would use the 'bubbly' adjective to describe, something that would certainly feel very nice to impact against, alas, there was now way that would happen unless Anoteros decided to genuinely hurt Linmin, although a backdoor could fit more than a front door, for a first time it would be best to act with care.
"Are you ready?"
