Herald of Steel

Alexander calmly glanced at the blazing girl with venomous hatred coming out of her eyes with the most tranquil expression Nafia had ever seen and spoke in a mild, aged voice, "Youngsters these days are so impatient."

The way Alexander said this and the vicissitudes of time and experience that this sentence seemed to contain caught Nafia off-guard whose magma-spewing eyes faltered in their job of showing the utmost hostility to Alexander.

To Nafia, who was bearing the brunt of Alexander's calm, cool, collected gaze, it felt like she was a little girl being glared at by her father.

"*Sigh*" Giving a very audible heavy sigh, Alexander again sincerely looked towards Mikaya who still had her head turned away from him, and said, "Lady Mikaya, I was very serious when I made that offer. And I will say it again, I want you to work as a whore in my brothel. What do you say?"

"....." Another round of uncomfortable silence followed, Mikaya disdaining to even respond to such an absurd offer.

'I will have to tell father that the man he privately so praised is a raving lunatic,' Mikaya made her decision.

But Alexander was not done yet as he started throwing his net to catch the rare, exquisite fish called Mikaya.

He first began, "Ahem, Lady Mikaya might find it beneath herself to even entertain such a thought, but please. I implore you to just give the thought a moment's time."

He glanced to see Mikaya, unmoved and uncensored, her eyes closed as if she was asleep.

But undaunted, Alexander continued, "As Lady Nafia has informed me, you are very… free with your sex life. And from what I am told you were sent her as a punishment for that."

He then pointedly asked, "But what was your crime? What grave crime did you commit that made your loving father exile you to this place with no friends or family or loved ones?"

Then in a gentle voice gave his own reply, "The answer is nothing. You did nothing wrong. You simply enjoyed an act that gave you and your participants pleasure. And just because of this, just for the fault of being happy, you were punished!"

The moment Alexander said these honeyed words, these poisonous, honeyed words, Mikaya snapped open her eyes and fiercely turned to look at Alexander, now gazing at him not with even a shred of the previous hostility, but with a twinkle in her eyes, feeling great interest towards what Alexander was saying.

Alexander did not miss this gaze, as he sneered in his scheming heart. 'Hook, line and sinker,'

Feeling that the fish had bitten, now he had to be careful to not lose it as he slowly reeled in the catch.

"N..no, you're wrong." Nafia, the most sensible of the three, plucked up all her courage and stammered a reply in an attempt to oppose Alexander as she seemed to somewhat smell his schemes.

She of course could not know the true extent of Alexander's almost malicious intentions but her experience of dealing with a lot of people told her that Alexander was attempting to lead Mikaya towards a very bad road and so she tried to save her mistress, "Mis…mistress is not…not being punished for her being happy. Master only wants mistress to lead a happy, normal life," Nafia reasoned.

"Normal!" Alexander sneered, as he unnaturally felt incensed after hearing that word.

After learning of the rebolting cultures of Adhanian nobility, Alexander knew nothing that a married noblewoman was made to do was normal.

And he posed this exact question to the maid with a snigger, "Is your definition of normal being made to stand nude with your hands behind your back and being beaten with a crop in front of a group of men till you entertain them with a golden shower? Where is your sense of modesty and chastity then?" Alexander spat.

"That…that's for married woman. That's not immoral!" Nafia's voice rose up a few octaves as she very strongly stated her reasoning, convinced in her rebuttal.

Alexander could not hold back his laughter at this risible argument.

"Hahaha, what does marriage have to do with anything?" Alexander laughed loudly as he brushed off the argument, saying, "The only thing marriage does is force a woman to fuck men her husband wants her to, rather than to allow her to fuck men she wants to!"

Hearing Alexander's answer, Nafia's mouth went agape and her eyes wanted to bulge out of their sockets.

This frank and brutal answer had dealt critical damage to Nafia who went into a minor shock as she processed what Alexander had said.

And though she racked her brain to give a good rebuttal, she came up blank.

"Hahhaha,...My, my, it seems I was dead wrong about you, my dear Alex," Mikaya by now had sat up and looked at Alexander grinning like a Cheshire cat, lipping her lips and gazing at him like he was the most precious treasure in the world.

'Finally, someone who gets me,' Mikaya screamed jubilantly in her heart, feeling that her long, arduous search had ended.

She had, at last, found the one.

The one who shared the same worldview as her.

Because these were the same thoughts she had harbored deep inside her but whenever she had revealed even a tiny fraction of them, even to her most trusted friends and relatives, they would either simply outright laugh, attempt to divert the topic, or if they were really polite, just smile and nod without commenting.

Even her doting father had refused to understand and chose to chastise her for a harmless act.

No, he didn't just chastise her, he essentially exiled her for a few years.

All for the crime of sleeping around, a harmless act by any stretch of the definition.

She did not rob anyone, she did not kill anyone, she did not rape anyone, she did not coerce anyone and no one was harmed while sleeping with her.

Yet she was punished for this entirely consensual act by her own, dear father.

And so imagine Mikaya's glee when she finally found a kindred spirit, here of all places, and moreover, it being not a woman, but a man!

'Ahhh, is this what love feels like?' Mikaya felt herself getting wet just thinking about it.

"Nafia, shut up!" Mikaya then gave a curt, biting command to her maid who seemed to be gearing up for another argument.

And then producing a coy smile as she licked her lips, she said, "Now, Alex, what was that offer you were saying about?"

This was the second time Mikaya had addressed Alexander using that abbreviated name that only his women were allowed to do, the sound of which was so soft and mellifluous that, instead of getting angry, Alexander felt his bones turn to butter.

'Succubus. A Tayin level succubus,' Alexander cursed himself for being smitten at this loose woman.

But at the same time could not help but appreciate the amount of charm and appeal that this silver-haired gorgeous bombshell could emit at will.

'She will be my greatest whore,' Alexander's heart burned with desire, the desire to reduce this loose woman into only a living meat.

It was an evil thought, but it was not like Mikaya was any saint either.

And besides, whatever pruriency Mikaya would get herself involved with will be purely consensual.

Alexander would never use his power or influence to force any girl to perform any kind of sexual acts on anyone whatsoever.

The mere thought of raping a girl or enabling others to do so disgusted Alexander and he vowed to always stay away from such immoral and illegal acts.

And with those thoughts in mind to soothe his guilty conscience, Alexander laid out his trap.

He started, "Miss Mikaya, from Nafia's recount, I'm told that you had grand plans planned in Matrak now that your father is not around. And although Nafia has not delineated the details of those plans to me, I can make a reasonable guess and say that it would have involved a lot of men and women and a whole lot of fucking."

"Yes, that's right, Most of all I planned to try and break my own record of whoring myself out for three days and three nights." Mikaya had a slight pout in her voice as she said so, and then with a lascivious grin, voluntarily revealed even more parts of her planned depraved misadventures, "The party would have had so many things I dreamed of doing. There would have been timed competitions like who can suck the most cock in an hour, who can drink the most cum without spilling it, who can fuck the longest, who can remember the smell of the most number of cocks and so many, many more." Mikaya almost had a drooling face by the time she finished listing off all her desires.

And at last, she said with a giggle, "Of course, the winners of each of the competing would get more pounding, hehe."

Alexander's lips twitched looking at this nympho and swore, 'She might be overqualified,'.
