Third Night Part 2

Chapter 3: Third Night

Lily panicked as the clock ticked on toward the night. She desperately complied all she has told him. First was about Mr. Smith’s story. Then moved on to the court, then moved on to the victim’s story. Then after that the story about women fighting to have a bigger boobies.

“Tiana, right?” Lily looked upon the catgirl. “Could you bring me pens and notebooks?”

“Why would you use pen and paper in this age?” The catgirl brought back what she requested. Albeit confused.

“If you have mana stone enhanced magiphone with its charger, maybe I could use it.”

“Ahh, you don’t have [mana manipulation] skill huh? That device is a bit rare nowadays. But I shall see what I can find.” Tiana bowed down.

Minutes passed, but just like ordinary authors, Her books remained empty. Her indolent brain refused to work further and her book remained blank.

“Tiana…. Let me touch your ears! Maybe I can get inspiration that way… how should I continue on after legal lolis?” Lily scrambled and hugged her in frustration. Her gray matter has worked extremely hard for this past three days.

“How should I know? It is your story!” Tiana reflexisely shouted. She wondered if she should reported this to King James. But His Highness was only interested if she did something related to outside communication or some obscure suspicious plan. The tyrant James would even let Tiana become Lily’s slave if that would get her mouth to open.

“Just give up your futile endeavor and become our property already…”

“No! I am scared. If I drank such potion, I will no longer be myself right? I read abut it in the book. Such potion will give your body immense pleasure until you are dependent to it. I will not have any freedom of thinking if I drank it.”

“You barely even use your head right now….” She sighed.

“Ugh… but I am scared. You won’t drink such potions willingly either, right?”

“Well, that’s true….” Tiana gulped at the miserable behavior the previous captive was after drinking it. In just several days, they went from complete defiance to obedient slave as they kissed his feet willingly like a dog. She might meet the same fate should she angered him.

“Ahh I get it! So, in the legal loli war, I should tell about the equality of boobies. Then I should also tell about the betterment of society, etc…” She moved on from caressing the catgirl’s head into her book. Ideas after ideas started flooding her mind now and she jolted it down.

Meanwhile, James attended a meeting with the aforementioned duke. He could not care less about these bootlicking aristocrats. After this, he had to listen to the count’s plea for clemency.

”Your Highness. I plead that you punish that Count’s son. He had defiles our daughter’s and make her pregnant. Due to our law that prohibited needless killing, we must now raised her child as our own. We need money for that. So, it is only natural the cost to be splitted between the parents.” The duke said.

“Where is the daughter?”

“She is still in our home due to the distress the news of her pregnancy must brought her.”

“I see. Even though I have explicitly asked you to brought her to me, you disobeyed my order. You may leave. I do not wish to speak to unrelated parties.” James was more than annoyed. He was a tyrant, and that means he can do whatever he wished, even ignoring these aristocrats.

“Your Highness…. very well. We shall not bring trouble to royal family.” They replied as they left.

“Well, now that one is finished.” James murmured. His butler then came in.

“Greetings your highness. I guess your meeting has concluded?”

“So, where is the count’s son?”

“Right this way, he has been waiting for your presence.”

Next was a pairing of father and son. The duo came for a clemency of the incident. One look of the kid then it was clear that the kid was the thoughtless brute kind. He had short spiky hair and muscled arm. He looked like a knight’s apprentice.

“Greetings your highness.”

“Greetings. To the point, your son. Rudolf isn’t he? Tell me, why didn’t you use contraceptive.” James, ever annoyed by this incident interrupting his fun time asked him.

“My friend who was a [Bio] Mage said he has cast a contraceptive magic. But he also claimed it only worked for three hours. Since I am the last one to have fun with her, she ended up pregnant.”

“I see. So, that’s where the mistake came from.” he nodded while sighed. “At least take up some [bio] magic lessons….”

“My [Intellect] status isn’t high enough to learn magic.] the brat replied.

“So, will you give clemency to the penalty? Giving up one hundred thousand gulden to that greedy duke will certainly bankrupted us. We still need to pay tuition for his knight course and his two other siblings.” the count’s pleading me as he was almost in tears.

“You will still have to pay some sort of penalty both to the nation and child support. But, I will see what I can do with the amount.” James sighed. “By the way, will you marry her?”

“Well, I didn’t hate the girl. But, their parent’s was outright villainous to me. I don’t mind marrying her but only if she came to our house and not the other way around.”

“do you think she will agree?”

“Nope. She is quite prideful. I am sure she was looking at me just as some sort of leisure playtime. She is not the type to be attached to just one man.”

“I see. She is quite a slut you say?”

“A nice slut, I might added.”

“Alright, you may leave. I have other matter to attend to.” James then looked back to his computer before the day turned to night. A notification pinged on his magiphone. It was another request of support against the border of yelowbox and whiteboxes. Now that bluebox country was beaten, their territory automatically went to him. However, there were a lot of resistance and interruptions.

“Maybe I should go to them instead spending my time here babysitting some counts and dukes.” James sighed. “I want to kill some more. My level is not enough.”

“Brother! What are you doing? Let’s hunt some salamanders!” the knight captain, Isaac barged on the meeting room. It was a daily occurrence to him.

“No, I don’t think so. Instead of some lizards, I think we are going to be needed in the border.”

“Damn it. People are hard to kill. It’s hard to find them.”

“Yeah. But the rebellions aren’t stopping. The whiteboxes are doing everything they could to hinder us. And the yellowboxes are in sync with them.”

“Are they working together?” Isaac asked.

“Don’t know. Let’s just go to bluebox then assign two armies at the border with yellowbox.” Jams sighed.

“Alright! Let’s do some leveling!” Isaac gleefully shouted then left. James then worked through the logistics and decided to bring Lily and the another two of his slave to the bluebox. If he could show the masses that their royal family now obeyed him, It could pacify the region.

Meanwhile, night soon came and Lily was staring out from the balcony. In her hand was a notebook she had painstakingly wrote the continuation of the story. ‘The civil War of Legal Lolis’. without [Scholar] class, her handwriting could not be called a good handwriting. However, it was good enough to read on her own. Once again, she reviewed her notebook while picturing herself telling the story to the tyrant James.

Behind her, Tiana was standing stoic. Unmoved as she continue to monitor her in accordance to her directive. James has subtly mentioned that princess Lily was suspicious by asking her to confirm her presence visually. Her level was obviously not as high as King James. She was below fifty. Only comparable to average soldiers. However, no matter how many times she looked at her, she only appeared as a ditzy princess to her.

When Lily tried to visualize how she tell the stories to James for the umpteenth time, James came in.

“Tiana, prepare a dress for her.” James replied. “and bring the slave number eight and nine.”

“Yes sir.”

“Ah, wouldn’t you be interested in the tale of the legal lolis?” Lily said but her voice was passed over unheeded. When James mentioned bringing her with other slaves, she was deathly afraid.

“I have prepared this story by spending all my afternoon for you! How could you ignore me!” Lily was seething inside but she knew better not to voice her dissatisfaction.

“You, sleep now. We need to go out at dawn tomorrow. You can use the guest room. Get out.” James said condescendingly and Lily nodded to obey.

Even while she survived yet another night, she was not as relived as yesterday.
