015 LYING ABOUT THE MALE ESCORTS
"Yes, go on until I tell you to stop," he replied, his tone firm yet un-guilty.
"But the Old General is waiting for you," she protested, glancing nervously toward the door.
"Let them wait, my Lust Counter is not filled yet, I need it to face those old wretches," Leo insisted before he paused.
"Send in the other girls too all of them," Leo added suddenly.
Suddenly, Leo's maids quickly returned to his room and slipped back into the pool naked, their hands teasingly finding Leo's source of arousal, stirring his senses again. And again.
----
The Hall of the Gullee family towered like a fortress, its stone structure imposing and formidable.
This family was not known for trade or commerce. Their focus lies squarely on matters of war. In times of chaos, they readied themselves for battle, and during peacetime, they engaged in logistics and security, protecting merchants who dared to traverse the treacherous roads of the land.
Everywhere in the Hall, remnants of past battles were evident.
The central gathering space was not just an area for meetings but a marbled arena, designed for duels at a moment's notice—even amid the hall's daily activities.
As Leo stepped inside, he was met by a throng of burly men, most of whom were warriors or bouncers loyal to the family. Among them were scions of the Gullee lineage, as well as a few scholarly figures.
While these civilian family members might not have worn full armor, they exuded an aura of immense power. They were the family's mages, held in high regard, for in the Gullee household, magic was revered above all, even more than familial bonds.
Leo strode in with a confidence befitting the family heir, a stark contrast to his former self, the weak Lilleo Gullee.
His gaze remained fixed on the family throne, unwavering, dismissing those around him as if they were mere shadows, insignificant and easily overlooked walking towards it.
"Where do you think you are going?" Lillye asked his son.
Leo quickly reached the seats beside his father—the one reserved for the Lieutenant Generals, the co-owners of this family.
To everyone's surprise Leo sat down on one of the seats disregarding all protocol.
"Greetings, Generals and Mages, what matter do you bring before me?" Leo called out, his voice resonating through the hall, addressing the court with unmistakable authority like he owned it- its king.
Liutenant General Lillwo whose seat was taken by Leo was pushed aside, his face filled with fury. "That is my seat!!!!"
"Get your own fucking chair", Leo replied as his legs crossed, seated comfortably.
Lillye wanted to reprimand his son but there was something in his son's tone this time that made him stop. There was something different about Leo and he doesn't quite get it yet.
Lillwo had no choice but to get another chair brought to him.
Loud murmurs soon erupted among the gathered crowd, filled with various comments and schemes as they processed the return of the family heir.
"The heir has returned? Wasn't he kidnapped from a brothel and left for dead because the Generals wouldn't pay his ransom?"
"He was missing for a month, no one expected him back. We were about to nominate a new heir!"
"Anyone from the family would be a better choice than him."
"Despite all the potions and pills we gave him, he still couldn't awaken his magic. He's a useless fool."
"Why is he acting like he is the master of the house now?"
Leo glanced at his father, General Lillye, who looked both relieved and angry.
"Lilleo, where have you been? We spent a fortune to find you! As the heir of the family, you should avoid those seedy places and trouble," Lieutenant General Lillann, his uncle and second-in-command, chastised him.
"I go wherever I want", Leo replied to Lillann's shock and surprise.
Before they could reprimand him, Leo added, "I was never kidnapped," surprising everyone around him.
"What? Then what about those ransom demands that we received?" Lillye asked incredulously.
"I only learned about them upon my return. Let me explain. I met a powerful mage who promised to awaken my magic, but I had to follow him to a sacred place in the forest to meditate," Leo explained.
"You should inform the family if you plan to go missing for a month, that is so irresponsible," Lieutenant General Lillwo, Lilleo's third uncle whom he pushed out from his seat interjected.
"I did. I gave a letter to Cousin Lillrune, your retarded son, didn't he pass on the letter?" Leo replied confidently.
"Lillrune, is this true?" Lieutenant General Lillwo demanded from his son his eyes narrowing.
Another youth came forward. He was about the age of Lilleo and judging from the expressions of those around, he was the pride of the family.
"No, that's not true! I am not a retard!!" Lillrune protested, stepping forward, clearly anxious.
Lillrune tried to hide his face when Leo returned, but now he had no choice but to confront the situation.
"The retard couldn't answer a simple question", Leo shouted suddenly for the benefit of the family.
"No, I didn't get your stupid letter," he reluctantly replied.
"See, the retard can talk now."
The murmurs in the Hall grew louder, confusion spreading among the gathered members.
"What is happening here? Who is lying?" Lillye asked, turning to Leo.
"He's lying. I never received any letter from him about going missing. He's just trying to excuse his irresponsible behavior," Lillrune insisted.
"What do you have to say for yourself, Lilleo?" Liutenant General Lillann asked, crossing his arms.
"I heard that the retarded Lillrune was the one who brought up the matter of my ransom to the Hall. If I'm not mistaken, he must have lost my letter and, knowing I was out of the city for some time, fabricated a false ransom to extort money from the family, you know he's always frequenting the male escorts with his father, hahaha," Leo explained as the crowd rose in laughter.
"Preposterous Accusations! Lies! I don't ask for male escorts, only women," Lillrune shouted again.
