ch24
After getting dressed, they have breakfast in the dining room “so what do you want to do today, kelly” he asks as they eat “oh please, master, there is no need to spend one on one time with me, as long as I serve you it is fine” she says plainly “well it may say, I want to make you feel exceptional today” he says she flushes “well if the master wants we can spend some more time in bed together” she says blushing deeply “well if that is your wish then I will make it so” he says she nods.
They finish eating, the others all find something better to do, and he takes Kelly to the room they share. “I want to try to take all you lust, master,” she says shyly. Taking off her clothes, he joins her naked. Then they’re going at it like rabbits, after the third go, “no more master, you going to drive me crazy,” Kelly says. She nods “go to Melody; I know she would like some more loving even though she said she was a fine master,” Kelly says, pulling away from him and getting dressed; he shrugs and kisses Kelly. “I love you, “ he says. She blushes, and they leave the room. She joins the other enslaved people, but Melody is not there.
So he has to try and find her, he goes to the training area Melody. Grinta were in a duel, nether was holding back much, the only thing they were not doing was trying to kill each other, the fight drags on, and Melody gets the upper hand, “well that’s my win,” Melody says “yah yet your still no match for Lance, I guess I don’t sstand a chance agentss him ether (she looks to him) speaking of which I think he is waiting on you dear” Grinta says turning and leaving.
Melody wipes her sweat off with a cloth “well, what do you want, Lord?” she asks with an upraised brow. “I was hoping to get some private time with you. I know you would love that,” he said. She shrugs. “I am really fine with the way things are, Lance, I don’t need any more attention, and I’m getting enough love, though I could use a good spar, “ Melody said flex he shrugs and jumps into the training area “well let’s go,” he says getting his sword ready.
There how she managed to parry each blow with that ax he did not now, but they’re fighting for a good two minutes. He uses a speed spell to speed him up. Now he is pressing her harder, til his sword nocks away melody’s ax “that was fun,” she said, swinging her hips “you know what,” she says, placing her ax in the rack, “that got me in the mood” she said pulling him along till they get to the room they’re using at the moment. They make love. He does not let her go till “no more lord, I can’t take any more, “ she said after their third go. He kisses her, and they get dressed,
He finds lion, lily, amber, and Kelly in the servant’s quarter, helping with the castle “well, come on, you three.” He says, taking them away from their work, they gather the others “well, I am sorry to say I’m heading out after lunch,” he says the other nod, “well Lance, good luck,” Melody said, “come back alive, Lance” amber says firmly “I better ssee you again bro.” Grinta says. “Come back, love, and good luck,” Emily says.
They wait just relaxing “so I was going over this tricky border dispute when this noble demanded my attention and my hand, and I told him plan face that I would choose my husband,” she said “so if you’re the third princess, where are you other sisters” he final ask broaching a topic he has been curious about for a while now but want her to pick up the topic first however he was tired of waiting” she nods.
“well, once my parent chose me to be the next ruler of the kingdom, my sister each chose to leave the kingdom, making alliances with different kingdoms through weddings. We thought it best that we just keep in contact through the mail; I’m the busiest of my siblings because I also have a strong connection with the god of light,” Emily said. He nods “why do you ask now and not sooner, “ she asks reading his mind.
“well, I was hoping you would talk about them yourself,” Lance said. She laughs “well, then we’re too, like I was waiting for you to ask; it seems you got to it first,” she says plainly. They finish eating lunch, and he heads to the supply shop to stock up on stuff, joined by Kelly, lion, and lily. Once they are all stoked up, they head to the city's gate; he scrubs out the border of the kingdom of Xansara; he finds that he can’t scry any further than the border, but he finds a close spot. He opens a portal “you First Ladies, “ he says kelly, lily, and lion walk through the blue portal spell,
He follows behind them, and the spell snaps shut behind him. They were now in the middle of a forest. The trees had changed from summer trees to winter trees; he heads deeper into Xansara heading north; there were border guards that made their rounds, but he had timed his arrival with their passing, so they get across the border with no fuss, now they could not get any help even if they wanted it. They’re walking on the road until the sun is about to set, and there is still not to the first town, so he makes camp. “So master, we should take turns being on guard. You get some sleep first; I wake you up when it’s time for you to be on guard,” lily says. He nods and steals down to sleep.
He is woken up in the middle of the night for his guard; he gets up without complaint and sits with his back to the fire, keeping watch for anyone that would sneak upon them. However, his night is uneventful, and he wakes up kelly from her guard duty. He goes back to sleep.
And when morning comes he wakes up, they clean the site they came up, have breakfast then head out by lunchtime the arrive at the first town, which has its charm, even though it had a more rugged look than, what he used to, the guards greet them “so where are you from” the guard asked “well I’m with the guild, I’m just visiting I’m looking for someone” he says the guard nods “bounty hunters then” the guard ask he shake “yah something like that, we’re looking for a man name slolon” he said the man pales “what did he do” the man ask “oh he tried to kill someone” he said plainly.
“well, what’s your name,” the man asks, pulling out a list. “Lance, “ he says, “ok and who are you three,” the man said, looking at Kelly, lily, and lion “where his slaves,” Kelly say, “skirting it the limit of slaves I see, well why don’t you have some back up” the guard ask “well the man I’m after has some powerful friends. The fewer people I have with me, the better,” Lance says “not here to do anything illegal, are you?” the man asks “no were just here to bring the man soon to justice,” he says, the man nods “ok fellows he not lying, I say we let him go” the man said.
“yeah, but where have I heard the name salon before? Oh well, you’re free to go. Just stay out of trouble,” a different guard says. The guards let him go “well should we rest in the inn or head out? We still have plenty of daylight left. “Well, let’s go to the inn master and rest for the day, then head out fresh in the morning,” Kelly says. The others nod in agreement. They head to the inn, check-in, rent a room, and the innkeeper is a portly drawn woman.
They ate lunch and listened to the bard; another person was in the entertainment room. Still, he paid little attention to that; they spent the rest of the day at the inn, just relaxing watching people come and go. They ate dinner in silence, joined by some of the guards who they saw earlier “dam, we lost them, have you seen anyone enter here “ the guard asks “no one that looked like they were on the run,” he said the female guard nods and blushes “I have taken enough of your time, sir, pardon me” she says, and they leave “what was that all about?” He asks his companions shrug “oh, they were after a thief,” a man from the side said “what kind of thief” he asks “well, they’re not your average thief I can tell you that,” the man says, sounding impressed “so what makes this thief different ?” Lance asked, “well, there are targets for one, only those with questionable income are the thief’s target,” the man says, “you mean those how to make their money illegally, “ he asks “yah those that don’t exactly break the law as you know it, it is why they have gotten away with it so long., the normal guard want her for being a thief,” the man says plainly
“ well, then why has she not been caught yet,” Lance asks with Interest “ I don’t know, however whenever they’re close, the thief always gets away somehow,” the man says, “ well you drink on me,” Lance says patting the man on the back. “ I’ll drink to that,” he tells the man who leaves the table “ well, that was odd; that man seemed to sing the praises of the thief a bit too much,” Lance says, sounding suspicious.
“ I don’t know much about this to give you an answer, master,” Kelly says, unsure “ nether can we master, and our kingdom is open friends with this one,” lily say “ that’s fine. We’ll probably need someone how knows a lot about this kingdom,” he says “ so are you going to find another wife?” Lion asks, sounding sad “ does that make you upset” she shakes her head “ the only thing that makes us sad is that we can’t be your wives,” lily says, patting Lion’s hand sadly.
“what about. You Kelly and I order you to answer truthfully, “ he says. She frowns “of course, I’m upset I want you all to myself; if it was not for my religion and my life as a slave, I don’t want to share you with anyone,” she said, looking mad at herself “ok fine, how did you want to answer,” he asks she smiles “well sharing your love, is always the right thing to do I could care less about what I want, and neither should you, take as many wives as you want,” she says firmly as if trying to convince herself of something.
“look, Kelly; I’m sorry I made you face something in yourself that you did not know,” he said, “it’s fine, master it is always good to face one’s demons; it leads to a better understanding of god and your self,” she says firmly “so true but not about the god part they seem just as clueless as us when it comes to life,” he says she looks at him shocked “but master—“ “sorry still mad at the goddess of resurrection, “ he says she nods “it is not healthy being angry at God, they work at a level us humans could never understand,” she says with more reverence then he likes.
But she was a devoted follower of her god, or else she would have never sold herself to slavery “so god still answers your prayers even though you dislike them, master,” he asks. She nodded “my god has led me to you for a reason, master, if that’s to be you, lover, then, that’s fine with me, or if that just to be used and cast aside, that is also what the Lord had in store for me if that’s to be sold back out and be parted from you. , then that is also what God wants from me,” she said with a kind of blind faith that said she would see any conditions she was sold into, a trail of her belief in the god of contracts.
He placed a hand on hers. “I hope the trial you are going through now has you happy,” he said. She nods. “Yeah, this is the best I have been treated, and I don’t care that you use me from time to time, but my love is for god first,” she says happily like “making love to you is what God wants from me, so I do,” she says rubbing her belly “the child growing inside me is one God meant for me to have, so I have it happily, even if my life was not the way it was now I would still have faith in my god,” she says with honestly “I order you to tell me. What you want,” he says she smiles.
“I want to serve God in all ways,” she says plainly, rubbing her stomach “wow, you sure have no dought in you, just so you know, I want you to serve Emily if I die,” he said. She shakes her head. “I am unlike the other slaves master, you can not simply give me to someone when you pass, if you were to die tomorrow, I would go back to the church of contracts, and they would sell me again, you only bought my services for your life when you purchased me,” she said like this was normal.
He nods “well, what about my baby,” he asks, concerned she smiles “well, I will belong to the church, and once they learn I’m pregnant, they will keep me in the till I give birth, then my child will either be given to the office or someone in your family since Emily is your wife, the baby will go to her, I will be sold shortly after, but that is the will of God,” she says with the firm belief “there’s nothing I can do to have you serve Emily, “ he asks sounding shock she shakes her head “now if you tell Emily you want her to bye me from the church she can do that” Kelly says mildly like she did not have a care in the world.
“That’s some unshakable faith you have there,” he says. She nods. “I look forward to my reward when I die; I will finally be one with my god,” she says, sounding ecstatic “you sound sure he will take you,” he says, “if he wanted a virgin, no man would have touched me, during my time on earth, but what happens to me on earth is molding me into the kind of woman that worthy of a god,” she says rubbing he stomach. “Well, I order you to answer true fully. Do you pretend I’m your god when we make love” he asks? She frowns
“Of course not, he wants me to love you as you are showing the love of me, only when I die will I be in the arms of my god, and be showered with his love, till then I must live my life to the fullest, enjoy every day on earth I am given, and work my hardest to stay alive the longest, only then will I be worthy of a god,” she says plainly and places her hand on his “so you can feel right with what you are doing to me, I love you,” she said plainly.
“I got the feeling you would love anyone who was your master,” he says. She smiles “of course, that is the way of being a slave, to love one’s master” he nods. She did have a weird point “well, look forward to staying with me then. I don’t plan on giving you up without a fight,” he said firmly. She smiles “thanks,” she says, “wow, you are something Kelly, isn’t she Lilly p,” lion says, awed. “I don’t know if I could have such faith if I belong to someone who oppressed me, “ sounding impressed.
“This life is not for everyone. Only those with the deepest convictions become a slave. I take your comment as a the praise that I’m due,” Kelly says. “I bet you glad that you with Lance here, “ lily say firmly “don’t bother lily Kelly the type of person who would be happiest in any situation she was thrown in. I think she would even be happy serving in a brothel,” lion says “I’m sure I would like that too if it was the will of God and I was blessed with looks that matched my soul,” Kelly says firmly.
“Yeah, that’s why I chose her. She looked like she could care less what life threw at her. She had inner strength and Beauty. That reminded me of my wife,” he said sadly. “I wonder why God did not offer you a path to heaven. After all, I got the feeling you were worthy,” Kelly asked, sounding curious, “ probably because I would have turned such an offer down. There was just too much about life I wanted to ever be happy with heaven,” he says. She nods. “I wonder what your wife would say now, seeing as you have so many women In your life,” the lion says with amusement. He flinches as if slapped “yah, she would not be happy she was of a mind that marriage should be one on one, but I did say till death do us part, and low and behold death did part us,” Lance says honestly, not feeling the least bit guilty.
“Well then, If you’re a peace with your choice, then that’s even better,” Kelly says “master do you pray to god, or do you follow some other form of religion “ lion ask “well, I do believe there is one god that made each god, I also think the first god also created his world, but do I think that all the gods are infallible no I think each one is pronto making mistakes from time to time” Kelly nod “even my god made a mistake he did not mean to create slaves contract, though he does think it was a worthy process, just look at how the way the church of agreement handles slavery, “ Kelly says the way she told her god with love was somewhat scary he used to her, and love her for it.
