Chapter 10: Calm before the storm

  “Hnn!”

  I stretch out, the sun rising and peeking on my window, yesterday sure was a busy and eventful day, I should take it easy today and-

  Wait a minute! I’m forgetting about something important!

  “I didn’t scold the piggy for attacking Heather yesterday!”

  Needless to say I went with an ear to ear smile, looking forward to torturing him was getting weirdly fun, It’s his fault for being so easy to read, but as I got to his office I couldn’t find him, I mean, I knew he wasn’t there, I didn’t felt his presence or smelled his awful stink as always, I found it odd though, so I went to check anyways but he really wasn’t there, heading to his room, I couldn’t find him either.

  *sniff**sniff*

  Nope, can’t find his sweaty ass anywhere, that’s odd...

  “Hey butler!”

  I interrupted the guy that was always with him, he seems important in the pace, probably knows where the pig lord went.

  “Ah! Y-yes?”

  He said bowing, good that you learned who the new owner of the pce is, I guess he really it’s just an employee.

  “Where’s the piggy?”

  “M-milord was called by his majesty, so he left to the pace first thing in the morning”

  Wha!? The piggy doing his job!? That’s a first!? Ok not really, I actually just shove everything into him, in reality I know basically nothing of this town, heck I don’t even remember the name, if it was given to me that is.

  “Do you know when he’s coming back?”

  “H-he should be back by night”

  “I see...”

  Well, guess the punishment is gonna have to wait, for tomorrow, tonight I don’t want to be interrupted with Heather~

  Hmm, but it’s still a while before Nighttime, whatever for now I’ll just get breakfast, like I do every morning, heading to the dining room, and demanding a meal as everyday, in fact I ask two, raw meat and something more normal, I know it doesn’t help or actually have any purpose for me to eat normal food but, old habits die hard I guess, and it’s tasty too so who cares.

  “Morning”

  Celestial? I forgot she’s in the pace as well.

  “Morning, I’ll have the cooks prepare you breakfast”

  “There’s no need, I don’t consume food anyways”

  “Oh really? What do you eat then?”

  “Eat? I don’t eat anything”

  “I get that, but sustenance you know, you can’t just run on nothing”

  “Hmm, I’m pretty sure I don’t eat or drink anything, for as long as I have memory, I didn’t have that need”

  “Lucky? Whatever, we save on food anyways”

  “So you can eat normal food too then? I thought that like the demon lord you would need blood and, well...”

  “Oh I do need blood to survive! I just eat normal food because I like the taste”

  “That sounds like a waste”

  “Kinda, but who cares”

  “Well, food is food I guess, speaking of, if you need blood to drink, feel free to take as much as you need of mine”

  “Really?”

  “Yep, how have you fed yourself until now? I’m guessing poorly giving you almost died of starvation when we met”

  “Rude, but yeah, mostly animal blood from the raw meat and a bit of human blood”

  “The knight dy?”

  “Yep!”

  I continued with my meal as Celestial cut her wrist with her nail on top of a gss that was on the table, making her blood cascade down to fill the cup.

  “Are you ok? Bleeding yourself like that?”

  “It’s fine, I was already expecting it when I saw your broken seal, plus I’m pretty resilient, something like this, even if daily, won't affect me i don't think”

  “If you say so, not that I’m compining, thanks!”

  She handed me the gss with her blood, it’s the same stuff as yesterday right? It’s delicious all things considered, shame it smells close to nothing, I mean it’s odorless unlike the rich aroma from the other human blood I had, still not that I’m gonna compin, it’s filling!

  “Still...”

  I said before taking a sip, I feel really fancy, like one of those vampires in novels, I can go out into the sun though.

  “Kinda unfortunate this is all I can eat”

  “Not really, although probably the only thing you should eat”

  “What do you mean?”

  “If you’re like Maldi, then it’s not ‘blood’ in particur that nourishes you”

  “Then what is?”

  “Life essence, it just so happens to be present in blood”

  “Oh yeah? How do I go about getting that?”

  “I actually don’t know the process, but I won’t recommend it, everyone who Maldi used to eat like that had incredibly reduced lifespans or outright died”

  “Yikes, did my dad used to go around killing people left and right?”

  “Not really, he almost never fed himself like that”

  I’m gonna be honest, I’m fed up with Celestial going on and on about the past, still I much rather prefer her company over the piggy for my meals, even if she doesn’t eat and just stares at me, after a nice meal, I need to kill time, should I go over with Heather?

  Hmm, actually I shouldn’t pester her that much and-

  “Ah...”

  “Hmm?”

  *sneeze*

  “Bless you”

  “Thanks...”

  I rubbed my nose, it feels itchy, am I coming down with a cold or something? Doubt it, probably just dust or something, it has been quite dusty in the pace, the butlers and maids don’t do their job properly, or maybe it’s just the town? Pollen season? Hard to tell, not that it affects me that much, or at all, I just felt it because my senses are way too sharp, whatever, maybe I need some fresh air!

  I think I’ll go for a walk, Celestial tried to accompany me but I told her to wait here, don’t want a nanny, although it took a bit to convince her, not like I’m going to do anything wild or something, honestly I’ve never been much for going out but, ck of entertainment makes me bored to all hell! Plus I haven’t taken a proper walk around town since the first time I came over to this town, so let’s see what I can find!

  ...

  Hmm...

  Houses, people, stores and markets, these are the kind of things I find but nothing that quite picks my interest, honestly markets are mostly produce and different sort of ptes, vases, etc.

  Not interesting, I don’t even need normal food anyways, as for stores, there’s tailors and carpet and other such stores, my clothes are already better than what I see around, on that note, the fashion sense it’s... peculiar to say the least, it looks, surprisingly modern for some reason, I was thinking, I was dumbfounded when I saw people selling T-shirts, like pin but modern T-shirts, I guess culture becomes same-y eventually, speaking of culture, there really is a lot of different sort of monster people roaming around.

  Is it racist to call them like that? Not like I’m saying it out loud, I even saw a centaur! Half horse half human, I tried not to stare, not that it matter since the centaur was looking at me with wide eyes, just like the rest of the people that pay attention to me, honestly I got used to it at this point, and yeah, I haven’t seen another demonfolk, funny how that is but, I wonder what the centaur thinks when he sees normal horses around the city as well, maybe the same humans feel when seeing monkeys?

  As for the people, they look mostly fine, sure there’s beggars and people looking miserable but mostly doing fine, honestly the piggy does a good job perhaps?

  Also I feel like I’m forgetting something, but I can’t quite put my finger on it...

  “Hm?”

  As I was pondering, a man came from behind me and pced a handkerchief in my face.

  “Don’t make a sound or I’ll kill you!”

  He says, I felt him approaching, but well, it’s a crowded city so a lot of people get close just from the fact we’re in a crowded street. As for hostility, there’s a lot of people that are hostile towards me for some reason, I just never expected someone to get this aggressive.

  For now I simply grabbed his arm and hand, and got them off my face. It's funny because he seemed to be expecting some struggling, but he’s shaking from the force while my arm it’s moving down like a hydraulic press, slowly but steadily getting him off.

  “Could you not, I’m in the middle of something here”

  Taken aback it seems, oh look, a knife!

  “You!”

  I stopped the knife with my other hand near my throat, keep struggling. I'll just use more strength, it seems that now that his pn didn’t work, he tried to get his arms away from me. “trying to flee? I won’t let you”

  “G-get off from me you monster!”

  “Yeah, yeah, come with me please”

  Honestly I want to kill him but we already made a huge scene, it seems he was trying to be stealthy but his struggle ended up catching the attention of other citizens, honestly they would look at me regardless if it was you or me struggling, pick your targets better.

  There has to be police or guards or something, I’m just walking, pulling him around behind me, he then trying to kick me.

  “Could you not get my clothes dirty?”

  “Monster! Let me go!”

  “Hey, can anyone call a guard or something here? This is getting on my nerves”

  He’s literally with both his legs on my back, his arms in front of me, trying to squat his body away, honestly I don’t want to make a scene lest Celestial scolds me, but that’s enough of this!

  “You want to go that badly?”

  “Yes! Let go of me!”

  “I don’t think I will, but I’ll do this instead~”

  I simply applied pressure on his wrists where I was holding him, he screamed and filed in my back, until I eventually separated his hands from the rest of his body, my hands are not slicing bdes, eventually they just gave up between my vice grip and his pulling, now handless, he’s screaming at the top of his lungs and bleeding profusely, everyone looking in shock, and look, a guard!

  “What is going on in here!?”

  Oh great, honestly I’ll cut the story here, guard thinking I was the bad one, arguing, the would-be kidnapper passing out, I simply fled, before I also murdered the guard, he’s only doing his job, not a crime, still just let go man.

  Now I’m in a forest, still holding to the man’s severed hands, I forgot to let go of them, ups.

  Hey, free snack!

  And here I am, in the middle of the forest sucking on a severed hand, quite tasty all things considered, Maybe I should go around finding criminals and eating them, their blood at least, thief that thieves thiefs or something like that, I don’t remember the saying, but this forest reminded me of the thing that I was forgetting!

  “That refugee vilge!”

  How are they doing? I said I would check on them, Maybe I should!

  And so I dashed towards the new refugee vilge, good thing I remember where it is, I’m not gonna forget east or west again!

  ...oh yeah, the guild, whatever, if I want to fight strong opponents I’ll spar with Celestial, She’s way strong, maybe I should actually do that.

  As for the refugees, some welcomed me with open arms, others were still wary of me, they started a farm and they seem to be doing ok all things considered, no problem of monsters or anything attacking them either, which it’s good, honestly they’re still west and on the way of the next city, that we’re supposed to be on war with or something, so I doubt they’ll find monsters given that from this town you can access the border to the frontlines.

  Speaking of frontlines and war! Didn’t I send the pace guards!? Yeah! And I saw them again with the piggy st night, I have to check on them! The reason you ask? Well I already questioned them st night, I know the war it’s not moving currently, but also, it seems they sided with Heather when the piggy ordered them to arrest her, more like they did nothing but still, I was a bit heated at the moment, but I want to thank them for not doing something stupid, I gathered them all in the courtyard, they all have done an excellent job, keeping the peace, not following the piggy blindly AND helping in the war, they deserve a reward!

  And as such I gave them all a free day of work, albeit they weren’t happy about all of them disappearing for a day, honestly a day seemed like not a lot so I didn’t think much of it, but the ‘new’ captain assured me that they wouldn’t like to all disappear one day like that, worried about the pace security, I mean, Celestial and me are enough but, in the end the free day got split in 4, 1/4th of the guards would rest today, another 1/4th tomorrow, and so on and so forth, I did say that if something happened due to low personnel they needed to tell me immediately, I’m sure I’m more than enough firepower to warrant the 25% decrease of guards and still be ok, so.

  In the end, I was bound to the castle for the rest of the day, but it’s fine, a leisure day has been more than earned if you ask me.

  What? That I barely do anything? Nonsense, besides is my dream so I do what I want!

  ...

  ...

  “Mistress”

  “Ah, Heather, please there’s no need to knock, you can just enter”

  I can’t wait anymore, I’m quite excited to be honest!

  “Marisa, are you-?”

  “What the!? Celestial, where did you come from!?”

  “I’m always nearby, but-“

  “Yeah, I know, I’m in the middle of something here!, but I need you to leave me and Heather alone!”

  “Oh! Of course! I get it! Sorry for disturbing”

  And she left, seriously, Celestial can be an airhead from time to time.

  ...

  “C-could you do it with your mouth like the other day?”

  “O-of course!”

  Ugh... the way her tongue coils around it! It’s!-

  “Nhyaa~”

  I covered my mouth, I can’t believe I made such an unsightly sound! But! Heather got better at this!

  “Nngh! Nnh!~~”

  “Dho sho if if fwen I fic the dhip?”

  I understood none of that! But yes!

  “Ah!~ Heather!~ I’m gonna!~ swallow it!”

  Guu! I didn’t st at all! Shooting it inside Heather’s mouth!

  But I’m far from finished!

  “Heather...”

  “Yesh...”

  “Can I put it between your chest?”

  Ah, so shameless! But I’m too horny to think straight...

  “Of course~ ?”

  I don’t know why I feel so awkward. Heather is ying in the bed, and I’m on top of her torso, squeezing her chest between my manhood.

  They’re so soft! Like marshmallows! Ahh! I can’t get enough!

  I ended up moving my hips back and forth. Am I being too rough on Heather? I somehow felt self conscious, but when I looked at her face, she just blushed and gave me a smile.

  “Let me help you mistress~”

  Somehow with her words my worries went away, and then she stuck her tongue out, licking my tip every time it came out of her mounds.

  “Nngh!~”

  Ah~ haa~ I ended up covering her whole face...

  Fortunately, after two other experiences, I came prepared with something for cleaning! It’s a handkerchief, disposable tissues don’t exist apparently, I feel bad for whoever will have to clean these.

  We both id on the bed, looking at each other and Heather gently caressing me before I reached to kiss her.

  We share a passionate moment, our tongues intertwined and dancing between each other, Heather’s soft moaning and uneven breathing getting me even more excited, I-

  “Ahn~?”

  ...that was me, she uh...

  “D-don’t touch me down there please!”

  “Ah, sorry it’s just-”

  “Yep, I, don’t please”

  I have both man and woman parts. I mentioned it before, but for some reason I didn’t feel comfortable with Heather touching me below. It's, I don’t know, a weird sensation, something I’ve never felt before. It scares me a little bit.

  Regardless, I still want to have fun! So I jumped on top of Heather again!

  “I’m gonna shove it in!”

  “Un~ ?”

  ...

  ...

  “Haa~ Aah~ ?”

  Ah crap... There goes Heather again.

  I pull out, junior still rock hard and eager for more, but it’s obvious Heather will die if we go another round.

  I enjoy Heather’s company! I really do! But! Why do I feel so frustrated! I want to continue...

  No this is bad! I shouldn’t think like that! And I don’t want Heather to push herself trying to please me either.

  The idea of having multiple partners crossed my mind, but...

  I think I need to start looking for someone else, so that Heather doesn’t take the whole brunt of my horniness, I just worry how Heather will react if I do, I don’t want her to think badly of me...

  With these thoughts, I headed to sleep next to unconscious Heather.

  ...

  ...

  “See you tomorrow Heather”

  “Un! See you mistress”

  And like that, Heather headed out for her home, it’s morning and she has to give her little sister breakfast.

  Maybe I should invite them to the pace, it would be easier if she lives here after all.

  “Oi! Butler!”

  “Y-yes!?”

  “Where’s the piggy?”

  “I don’t know! He hasn’t come back since yesterday!”

  The piggy is still absent? Should I start worrying?

  Nah, he’s probably being yelled at in the pace, or so I hope.

  I have nothing to worry about.

  I was heading outside to take yet another stroll through the city, when something quite surprising happened, and by that I mean Heather was running at me at full speed. It’s impressive seeing she’s missing a leg.

  “Whoa! Heather, what's wrong?”

  “Ellie!”

  She yelled in a panicked voice, I couldn’t help but worry to be honest!

  “Ellie is gone!”

  —————————————————————————————————————————

  “Ah! Lord Gwendal, please come in, the king is waiting for you”

  “Thanks, will do”

  That dumb bitch, of course the king is waiting for me, he’s the one that called me personally.

  Even so, the girl his majesty keeps around it’s quite a looker. It's a shame she works so closely to the king, she should just quit her job and open their legs like God intended her to do.

  “Your majesty”

  Of course I did the proper introduction, I wouldn’t let anyone catch me with my guard down, the st thing I want is to be bckmailed by other town lords.

  “Gwendal, so gd to see you, I wished to speak with you, please get up”

  “I couldn’t possibly disrespect you like this your majesty, I-“

  “Enough, Gwendal please, raise your head, I just want to talk”

  “...as you wish”

  For much that I would like to lick his majesty’s shoes. If he wishes to just talk, then I’m happy to oblige.

  “I wanted to talk about some recent intel I was informed about”

  “O-of course, what did you hear about milord?”

  “For one, I heard you created a new vilge, not only that but a vilge of refugees of all things”

  Oh crap...

  “Not only that, but I heard you mobilized the entire pace guards as troops to the front”

  “W-well-“

  “And even your leg, is it true you lost it in the front lines?”

  Oh crap, who told the king about those things, I can’t just tell him that bitch did this!? My reputation as the town lord it’s in the line!

  “Y-yeah... if you’d let me expin-“

  “Oh there’s no need to expin yourself”

  Dammit! Dammit! Dammit! Thanks to that bitch doing what she wants, now I’m in trouble with the king, ah! Dammit!

  “Bravo!”

  “Eh?”

  “I never thought you had it in you, truth be told, I seriously considered stripping you of your title, but I can see that I was wrong”

  “W-what do you mean?”

  “Well, I always thought and heard quite unsavory rumors from you, but it’s thanks to the swift mobilization of the pace guards that we were able to catch the western empire by surprise, we even recimed a bit of nd! Not only that but you fought in the frontlines yourself!”

  “I- of course!”

  Who even told him that, that is how I lost my leg...

  “I'm so gd you finally understood, the job of a town lord is to look after the town, but most importantly it’s people, so I can’t say anything but thank you, for your service”

  “I-is that!?”

  “Take it, you earned it”

  It’s the award for excellence of service, of course I would receive it! It’s not everyday the king praises your work!

  “Thank you, your majesty! I promise to not disappoint you”

  Phew... and here I thought I was in trouble, of course the king would praise my outstanding leadership, I am the greatest town lord after all.

  But...

  Whatever, the king will never know about that wench, besides, I’ve got everything pnned already, since I’m here in the capital, I should get the rest of the pn ready...

  —————————————————————————————————————————

  “That Gwendal left already”

  “He did your majesty”

  “Hmm...”

  “Is something the matter?”

  “I have a bad feeling, but can’t quite put my finger on it”

  “What do you mean your majesty?”

  “Oh it’s probably nothing but, just to be sure, make preparation, we’re leaving for Gwendal’s territory tomorrow morning”

  “Of course your majesty!”

  “And she left, at least listen to me until the end dammit, why is everyone so afraid when I talk to them all the time? Sigh... that Gwendal, I hope he’s not doing something stupid like he always does”

  ...

  “It’s probably nothing, I wish it’s nothing”

  “Gwendal, you’re gonna make my hair turn gray faster”
