My Servant System

Jahi PoV

After seeing Anput in that wonderful deep violet dress, I had wanted nothing more than to pull her somewhere secluded and take her, but thankfully Kat was able to control my urges, snapping me from those thoughts.

She truly had been ravishing in that dress; it complimented her dark skin quite well, and the black lace made me remember that little 'outfit' Kat had worn for me when we first came here...

Besides that, I also had quite the idea as a gift for my lithe Jackalkin; something to match those amethyst dangles, her obsidian and amethyst ring, and, of course, her black collar.

After all, these three were MY women; I was willing to utilize mom's bank account for just this occasion...

Both because I wanted to fulfill my own twisted desires of showering them in such lavish clothing and jewelry so that they would willingly stay with me, even for just that, and so I could stick it to that snobby Duchess Jillian, displaying how much better they were in my care than hers.

So, I would need to go out one of these days, alone, and get each a little something...

Extra.

Leaving my arm wrapped around Leone's waist, I waited for my two puppies to emerge from the changing room, my mind drifting to the thought of their bare skin inside...

Enjoying the softness that pressed against my side, I watched as Anput stepped back out dressed in her normal attire, while Kat followed behind her silently, holding the folded dress in her hands.

Approaching Leone and I, my maid stared up at me with unbelieving eyes as she said "Show me this dress you found Leone..."

Chuckling at that, I ruffled her ears before walking towards the mannequin, my mind already imaging Leone in such a lavish dress.

Gesturing towards it, I saw Kat nodding as she circled it slowly, her amber eyes flitting between Leone and the dress.

However, just like Leone her eyes went wide as she found the price tag...

"90 gold?!"

Letting out a huff, she glared over at us and asked "Are you insane?! 90 gold for a DRESS?!"

Shrugging, I said "We can make that money back easily enough. Besides, don't you think she'd look ravishing in this?"

Chuckling at how her face deadpanned, Kat sighed before pinching the bridge of her nose, muttering "How did she become such an idiot..."

"I heard that y'know."

Ignoring me, she turned back towards the dress and stared at it, pursing her lips.

Smirking as I saw her familiar thinking face, I waited to hear her agreement-

"No."

Huh...

Surprising...

Turning back, she shook her head as she stared at us, repeating herself.

"No. That's way to much for just ONE event. We don't have that kind of-"

Leone stepped forwards, her cheeks flushed as she said "I-I can cover the I-initial costs... t-then I'll r-repay you when I s-start my alchemy!"

As Kat opened her mouth to reply, I stepped forwards and stared down at my Dogkin wife, a 'smile' on my lips.

"We're getting the dress, Kat. I have the money; be it from the Platinums that the Vice-Headmaster gave me, or even if I have to dip into the Asmodia account."

Kat just matched my stare, much to both my annoyance and delight.

I was annoyed, currently, in the here and now, because she was defying me; even if it was for a good reason, it never felt good when we disagreed on something.

However, deep down, I was delighted that she was willing to have these disagreements, even with the 'difference in our status' that others would see.

I treated her as an equal, and I rather enjoyed knowing she felt that she was, indeed, my equal; my wife.

As tempting as it might seem, being a 'tyrant' over my three wives would cause way more troubles than anything else; Leone might seem like she'd be the most accepting, but I feel that I might find myself poisoned one day if I took that route.

Kat would just...

Well, there are many ways to get back at someone when you share the same bed, no?

Anput would be the most accepting, what with her culture and all, but that still seems like a bad idea; she can be rather feisty in rare moments...

So, seeing Kat willing to argue with me over this was good, but...

"We're getting it whether you like it or not, Kat."

I wasn't going to back down either.

Her amber eyes hardened as she stared up at me, still silent.

I could feel the mild irritation radiating off of her, likely because, just a few days ago, we had a discussion about spending money...

However, she sighed and looked away, massaging her temples as she muttered "Fine..."

Both of us glanced over at the beaming Leone, and I saw Kat's features soften for a moment...

Which was swiftly replaced by a stern face as she said "And you WILL pay the 90 gold back, Leone."

The Vampire nodded, still beaming as she threw her arms around Kat.

Taking in the delectable sight of my two curvy, soft wives, I wanted to go home, but...

"Now, you."

Untangling herself from Leone's embrace, Kat smirked up at me before grabbing my wrist, leading me around towards the suit section.

Pursing my lips, I sighed as I followed behind her, wanting this to be over with as soon as possible...

Reaching a small area with three mannequins, I sighed again as I looked between them, not noticing a real difference between the three.

However, Kat apparently did, as she alternated her gaze between them, a serious look in her eyes.

Trying my best to create a distinguishable difference between them, I could confidently say...

The left most one had silver buttons and cufflinks, as well as being the deeper? shade of black...

The middle had dark silver buttons and cufflinks, and a slight floral pattern on the inside of the suit jacket.

The right one had gold buttons and cufflinks, and was the plainer of the three...

Really, the damn difference was the metals, nothing else...

Sighing, I gestured towards the one in the middle, saying "That one. Besides, I'll just wear a purple dress shirt underneath..."

Sadly, Kat glared at me before dragging me to another section, not saying a word.

Anput and Leone giggled behind us, only to freeze as I glanced back at them with a raised brow.

Browsing another few dozen options, my head stared to ache something fierce as we moved to the next section, Kat frowning hard as she realized...

We had seen the entire store.

Sighing, I said "Kat, please. It's just a suit-"

"No, it's not 'just' a suit, Jahi. You're attending not only a Duchess' banquet as an adult, but it is someone who hates you. You need to show up as best you possibly could to send a message."

Hearing something so... scheming from Kat made me shiver, not enjoying how quickly she dipped into how the nobility thinks...

Sighing again, I just nodded, only to point back to the original suit.

"Look, that one is elaborate enough; the dark silver is quite nice, and paired with a few pieces of jewelry or something I'd be fine-"

"Gold suits you better."

She was staring up at my gold tipped horns, making me sigh.

"Fine, then we could just have them replaced the buttons and cufflinks with gold. Would that work? If you wish, we could also have them stitch on the Asmodia symbol as well!"

That made Kat purse her lips, staring intently at the suit.

Stepping forwards, I placed my arms around her waist, leaning down to rest my chin between her ears.

"Kat, really. This'll be good enough. Besides, we both know I'm much better looking than that elf."

The Dogkin chuckled slightly at that, before nodding.

"Alright. I'll go talk with the seamstress."

Spinning in my arms, she grinned up at me as she whispered "I'll make sure that you look dozens of times better than Jillian, Mistress~"

Before I could try something, she slipped from my embrace and walked away, only to turn and hold out her hand.

Confused, I took it, making her sigh.

"Money, Mistress. We do need to pay for things, remember?"

Letting out an 'ah', I handed her the heavy coin pouch I was carrying, which was filled with platinum and gold.

Smirking at the weight, Kat gently hummed as she walked away, towards the woman leaning against the counter.

Anput, Leone and I glanced between one another, and I asked "How long were we here?"

The other two shrugged, and I sighed.

We could have spent this time doing anything else; training, studying, sleeping together...

Hah, what a wasted day~

Well...

Looking back towards Kat as she excitedly conversed with the seamstress, leading her over to the suit and discussing some things, I shrugged.

Maybe...

Just maybe it was worth it...

Getting to see another facet of the real Kat was always worth it.
