Vanessa yawns, and looks over a few sheets of stapled paper. She spares you the nitty gritty and gives you the important details.

"The Kingdom to the north is preparing a defensive force. Their footsoldiers are shockingly underdeveloped, since they focus mainly on trade, and can hire top notch mercenaries and adventurers to do most of the heavy lifting. They don't appear to want to fight, but they are ready for one. The nation to the west is currently engaged in skirmishes with the kingdom directly west of them. It seems the two have had a long history or rivalry and conflict stemming from a small war two hundred years ago. The soldiers in both nations are quite well trained, but they throw themselves at one another every year, losing hundreds if not thousands of men. So, as long as we don't do anything too bold, they won't do more than man the forts closest to us. We should be clear to take the iron mine, keeping in mind that once we do we'll have to start taking a more active stance militarily."

You nod, and take another sip of your increasingly temperate coffee. After Cruz' slaughter of nearly eight hundred of your best trained men, you are having a hard time refilling the ranks you've lost. In total, you have about ten-thousand men ready to march, but compared to the numbers the bordering nations can summon, it's a posse.

>>45677288
You tell Vanessa to begin enlisting women, as well as men. Any strong enough to hurl a javelin will fight, or they will be disallowed luxuries such as clean water and dental care. She makes a note of it.

You then turn to Shen and Legion, your most powerful subjects, and tell them to scour the land for promising warriors. Any who will not bend should be taken back to the fortress in chains if need be. They happily accept the task.

You ask Duncan about any advancements the other nations might have over you in terms of military science and engineering.

"We have very few siege units, my dark lord. And they are all over three decades old. I wanted to wait to bring this up, but more thinking minds should be brought in to give us a leg up. For now, we have but horses and men."

You tell Duncan to begin scouting for any brilliant thinkers with unlocked doors, and disband the meeting to let them all begin preparations.

After a bathroom break, and an appearance at the Sunday orgy, you return home and decide to check up on your men before things get into full swing.

>Check on Vanessa first

>>Recruit adventurers

Those fuckers love quests and shit. And if we hire them to work for us, then we're also taking away adventurers who would otherwise possibly accept quests from other nations to magbe oppose is.

>>45677445
>Check on Marigold first

>>45677445
>Check on Shen and Legion
My gut tells me these two will need to be checked on often.

>>45677529
You enter the training yard. Marigold has the men gathering outside to begin the march, so Shen and Legion are alone together at the center of the arena, sitting cross legged and chanting some sort of mumbo jumbo as attempt to manipulate the natural energies surrounding them.

When they see you approach, Legion transitions into prostration, where Shen merely nods. You ask how Legion's training in Shen's art is coming along.

"Truth be told, I'm not sure if he can master these techniques at all. My power comes from attuning one's soul with the natural energies that flow all around, taking them into me and using them to strengthen my body and augment my senses. It takes years to even learn the basic forms properly, and while he is quite physically strong, he has no sense of self. Being made of many souls, he seems to be constantly in a state of chaos. I can sense the flow within him, but it is like nothing I have ever known. Nearly a thousand minds and wills, all screaming at one another in a bid for power. He looks calm on the surface, but his very existence is anarchy. I've taught him forms and stances, and he catches on to the motions, but that's all it seems to be. Motions. There's nothing behind them. If I'm being honest, I would advise abandoning this quest. It would be better to hand the creature a sword, and let it do what it knows." You rub your chin and think on this, but Legion speaks before you can.

"My dark lord, if it is your will that I learn these techniques from Shen, then I will do all I can to please you. Although I cannot feel the flow of energies as Shen does, I believe there might by something I can do."

"You fool, without that sense my power is nothing but stances and muscle! Any common thug could do what you've been doing! Do not allow your sense of servitude to blind you to the truth!"

>>45677667
>>"The training ends here. I have too little time to wait for signs of improvement."

>>45677667
>"Continue the training, Shen."
If the martial arts gets its strength from soul power, that means Shen is training thousands of people at once. This is a good investment.

>>45677667
>"The training ends here. I have too little time to wait for signs of improvement."
No point wasting time on it.

>>45677667
>"Continue the training, Shen."
Legion will grasp it, Legion will act in concert, for my will demands it.

>>45677721
>>45677776
You tell Shen to give up the attempt, and focus on something more efficient. He tells you he and Legion can learn from each other in terms of combat maneuvers, but nothing more.

As the two prepare to set out, Shen in his eatern silks and slippers, and Legion in a set of chainmail and half-plate, you tell them to do all they can to secure their marks, without killing them. Legion takes up a training sword from one of the racks, and slides it into his belt. You offer him a real weapon, but he assures you a blade will only make it harder to avoid killing.

You teleport them into the city, and leave them to their work before teleporting back. Duncan is already gone, but Vanessa and Marigold are still lingering a bit longer.

>>45678008
You find Vanessa in your office, holding a connection to hell. You wait for her to finish the conversation before asking what she's up to.

"Bad news, daddy. I tried to call in a few favors from some of the girls in my sorority, but mom is throwing her weight around. Our license to do business with hell is being suspended barring an investigation of misuse of resources. We didn't do anything wrong, but until they determine that we can't so much as get an imp to clean the bathrooms. I'm sorry." Vanessa seems sincerely depressed and apologetic. You wonder if she doesn't blame herself for this, seeing as she's the thing you've been fighting with your ex-wife over for so long.

>"It's not you fault, it's your mothers."
>"We don't need demons. We can handle this on our own."

>>45678255
This.

>>45678218
>"It's not you fault, it's your mothers."
>"Poor dear. Will some ice cream make it better?"
Summon Duncan and send him to retrieve ice-cream, the best ice cream he can find in the entire world for us and our little girl.

>>45678218
>It's not your fault dear, it's your mother's

She might find ice cream a little unhelpful right now.

>>45678255
You pat Vanessa's head, and assure her that her mother is entirely to blame for all this. She seems to cheer up a little, and her mood goes from depressed to completely ecstatic when you ask her if she'd like a bowl of butter pecan for lunch.

As the two of you sit in the dining room spooning ice cream into your mouths and laughing, Marigold enters. She's still a bit shy after the incidents in your chambers and the courtroom, but she still has yet to bring them up, so you think it might just be better to let them lie.

"Sir, the wagons are packed, the horses dressed, and the men are ready to march. I'll be taking them around the mountains, and down through the Valley of Stone to reach the mine. The trek should take three weeks at a steady pace, and we'll make camp just beneath a ridge that will block us from view if we keep a tight formation. Before we set out, the men want to know if you'll be joining us."

You swallow a spoonful before responding.

>Join them on the march
>Meet them at the mine
>Let Marigold handle it, she's ready
>Other

>>45678374

>>45678402
This. And then let her handle it.

>>45678402
This. Marigold is good enough to take care of it, although tell her to send us a message if anything comes up that needs our attention. (Or if she's just lonely and wants our company that works too)

>>45678468
Let's not say that last bit.

>>45678397
>>45678419
You hand Marigold the ice cream carton and a spoon. She takes a large scoop and licks it calmly as you speak. You tell her you believe she's ready to handle an operation on her own, without your intervention. You notice her face turn even more red as she barely contains an excited smile. You let her know that if anything comes up, she can use the mental link ability Vanessa taught her to send out a distress signal, as well.

"Y-yes, sir! I won't let you down!" She salutes, turns on her heel, and makes her way out of the room with the girliest run you've seen outside of Vanessa's middle school track meets. You can't help but give a low chuckle.

Things quiet down with the bulk of the minions on the move, and only Vanessa in the fortress. Although she seems to keep busy, you find yourself spending a great deal of time in your study, reading, or in the torture chamber tuning and cleaning all of your instruments. You need a better way to kill time, at least until something more interesting happens.

>>45678578
Kek, this

>>45678590
>>45678614
You spend a few long hours in the training hall, attempting to regain the body you had when Vanessa was conceived. Until now, you've been hiding a small belly behind your plate armor and padding, but no more! With a diet of protein, calcium, vitamins and good old fashioned magic steroids, you set to work sculpting like the masters of old.

Surprisingly, the first to report in is neither Duncan nor Marigold, but Shen. He and Legion walk in on one of your workouts, each carrying what looks to be a bodybag over their shoulder. Two adventurers, no doubt. You let the dumbells fall from your hands and crack the stone floor as you bid them approach. Legion sets down his burden and kneels before you.

"My dark lord, we have found two quite capable warriors. they gave us trouble, such was their skill. However, we were able to subdue them, and dose them with sleeping sap, enabling us to deliver them to you safely." Shen drops his, and stretches his arms and back.

"Wasn't easy. Let's get these gifts unwrapped." He kneels as well, but not to bow, and the two of them untie and slide off the bags. Inside are two young and strong looking bodies. The thing that strikes you most obviously is that they are twin girls, both dressed in leathers and hide. Their black hair and sunkissed skin suggests they are from a region further south.

>>45678798
>>Bring them to the conference room

>>45678910
You have them delivered to the conference room dimension, and place them into seats beside one another. You roust them with smelling salts, and watch as they come out of their fugue state, peering confused around the room, before settling their eyes on you. They both attempt to stand and attack, but you had Shen secure them with a bit of rope, so things should be fine.

You bid them good morning, and tell them you'd offer them a donut, but the bindings would make it tough to eat. They don't seem amused. You tell them that they come highly recommended by two of your top employees, and that you're interested in securing their services. They grimace.

"Sorry, but we already have a lord. We're only visiting this pisspot of a territory as scouts."

"Yes, and we'd love to go back, so if you'll just untie us we'll be on our way."

>Untie them

"As if we'd divulge national secrets to some ninny in fancy armor!"

"We're a bit harder to grease than common peasants."

You weren't even considering spies in your territory, but now that it has become a possibility, you're a bit nervous. Still, whatever these two were looking for in your lands could benefit you, rather than harm you, so knowing about it is a very good idea.

>>45679177
Surprisingly, their ears do perk up at this suggestion. It seems loyalty is worth about as much as it weighs in the hand.

The two of them lean into one another and whisper back and forth. You wait patiently for them to finish.

"If you're talking about gold, we might be able to come to an agreement."

"We heard you were a soulless, evil, sadistic, blackhearted monster who rapes women and kills babes in their beds."

You assure them that only the first few accusations are true.

"But we've also heard that you've been taxing these suckers hard from day one."

"If you're willing to pay up, we'll spill the beans."

"But we're not cheap."

"Thirty thousand pieces, each."

"Take it or leave it."

That is no small amount. You'd wager they'd barely be able to carry that much on their backs. With that much gold, you could keep Vanessa in designer shoes and clothing for a year.

Second.

>>45679452
Or this. Give em land, a house or maybe even a small keep.

>>45679403
You summon Vanessa, and she appears by your side dressed in her usual suit and glasses. The girls across from you grow suddenly nervous.

You ask her to hammer out a fair deal with them, and she promises to do her best. You step out of the conference room for a few minutes to get a drink and use the restroom, and return after giving Vanessa enough time to work her magic.

When you come back in, the two of them are slumped over in their seats, completely unconscious. Vanessa sits in your chair, legs crossed confidently, awaiting your arrival.

"Good news, daddy! They were very receptive of my negotiating tactics! I guess you could say they were playing for the away team." She seems particularly proud of this analogy. "I even learned about some of what they've been doing behind closed doors, if you know what I mean. Oh, sinners are so easy to sway."

You tell her to cut to the chase, and let you know what they were here for.

"Oh, right! They were looking for their leader. Apparently he came up here with his student, but never sent word back. The both of them were supposed to come help deliver blessings to the poor, but they left fully armed, and so these girls were to keep an eye on them. They slipped away, and these two have been wandering around looking for them since."

It doesn't take a genius to put together that they were searching for Cruz. Though whether they recognize his body now is uncertain. At any rate, you have no need for them now.

>>45679670
You tell Vanessa that these two are hers to keep. She leaps up excitedly.

"Yay! I always wanted pets! Oh we're gonna have so much fun!" She runs around the table and grabs the two of them, lifting them out of their seats. "I know just what game to play first!" Without another word, Vanessa teleports out of the conference room. You cross your arms, pitying the poor girls.

After a few more days of heavy exercise and diet, you finally receive a message from Marigold. Her magical potential is quite limited, so she's only able to send three word messages.

"Mine is ours"

>Tell her to wrap up and come home

>>45679884
This, also tell Vanessa we're going.

>>45679805
You dress yourself and teleport to the mine, or at least as close as you can get without knowing it's exact location. You arrive atop a hill with a decent view, and with a couple more attempts you arrive at the dig proper.

A massive gash in the landscape, once home to rich soil and grass, has been carved by the mining outfit. Stone steps are carved into the side of the pit, leading down into a hub of caverns leading to mineshafts. You see hundreds of workers toiling, as well as nearly a thousand armed guardsman piled together in the center of the hub. Beside the pile is Marigold, and a few of your minions. You leap down, hitting the ground with a thunderous thud that startles the workers, but leave your men unphased. They turn, and salute. Marigold's face is pink as an eraser with pride.

"Sir! Our mission was a complete success! We lost thirty, and fifty were wounded, but every enemy combatant was neutralized. Some even offered to join us, and so we've got them under tight surveillance by the senior troops. I plan to leave behind a small band of men to keep an eye on the mine in case of counterattack."

You glance around. Things seem quite under control.

>"Excellent work. You've made me proud, Captain."
>"Good. Now we must return to the fortress. Come along."
>"Burn these bodies and get moving."
>Other

>>45680012
>"Excellent work. You've made me proud, Captain."

>>45680012
>>"Excellent work. You've made me proud, Captain."

>>45680066
Marigold seems quite taken with herself. She is far from the quiet, angry girl you hired. You tell the minions to get things cleaned and settled here, and return to the fortress with Marigold in tow.

The minions return after three more weeks or march, and the fortress is lively again. The soldiers training in the town nearby, the two cities under your thumb, and the various farms all between, are coming along well. Your forces now number nearly thirty thousand, and growing.

Unfortunately, just as Vanessa warned, you have been noticed. Reports of a small scouting force from the nation to the west in your lands have begun coming in. There has been no fighting yet, only testing of your defenses. It's finally time to set things in motion.

You hold a war meeting with your lieutenants, and discuss the first course of action.

>Establish a fort on the western borders, to block off the enemy from your main roads.
>Reinforce the iron mine. The ore there is already being put to use making better equipment, it's too valuable to lose
>Reinforce the cities. They must not be taken
>Begin a preemptive attack
>Other

>>45680235
>Reinforce the iron mine. The ore there is already being put to use making better equipment, it's too valuable to lose
and increase the scouting in our territory, so we can respond quickly if they ignore the mine and go for another target

>>45680235
>>Reinforce the iron mine. The ore there is already being put to use making better equipment, it's too valuable to lose

>>45680329
You give orders to establish a more powerful presence at the iron mine. Marigold obeys, and assembles her most elite footmen to build fortifications there. With the ore, and a lot of your personal brand of elbow grease, they are even given decent breasplates and helms that will deflect at but the most powerful blows. A thousand men march south, ready to fight for your land.

Duncan informs you that there are too few men capable of innovation in your lands. But the nation to the west, your soon to be enemy, has quite a few brilliant minds. Even one could help you establish a more threatening military presence.

>Kidnap

They would not even need to be paid to switch sides.

>>45680529
You tell Duncan to take a bit of gold from the treasury and see if he can't convince some of the more morally loose inventors to defect. He heads out with all haste.

Shen and Legion report to you, telling you that they are ready to be thrown into the thick of the battle. You shouldn't waste their talents here, where you're safe from direct attack.

>Send them both to the mine

>Send them both to the border

>>45680684

>>45680712
You tell them to head to the border and eliminate any foreign spies. You doubt the lack the subtlety needed to weed out anything sneakier than a horse in a glass menagerie, but their presence will still dissuade most from entering the territory carelessly. Before they set out, Legion poses a question.

"My dark lord, have I permission to collect the souls of these dead? More souls will inevitably mean more power, and I wish to have all that I can muster to serve you."

>"No. Merely make an example of them."
>"Very well, do as you wish.'

>>45680880
>>"Very well, do as you wish.'

>>45680880
>"Very well, do as you wish.'

>>45680880
Wouldn't a soul of an enemy soldier he kills give the chance that his mind will be overpowered by an enemy soldier's soul, making him defect?

>>45680901
You give Legion permission to eat as much as he likes. He and Shen set out, leaving you alone with Vanessa once more.

When you look over to her seat in the conference room, you notice her face is a bit sullen. You ask her what the matter is.

"It's nothing, daddy. Don't worry." Or so she says, but she doesn't so much as make eye contact with you.

>Let her be, if she wants to talk she will

>>45681090
>Tell her she'll feel better if she talks about what's bothering her

>>45681125
She fidgets a bit, but as usual she can't resist you.

"I'm just... I'm so nervous, daddy. Everything is gonna get really crazy soon, I feel like you won't have any time to spend with me anymore. This will be just like when you used to go to work with Uncle Ray. You'll be gone for weeks, and when you come home you'll just sleep and never tuck me in anymore. I'll miss you..."

It seems this isn't a new feeling. She must have felt this way since she was still in bloomers.

>"I'll always have time for you, sweetie."
>"You're a grown up now. You don't need me around all the time."
>"I know it's hard, but this is my work. It's important to me."
>Other

And I have never been prouder that you are following in my footsteps

>>45681346
>>"I'll always have time for you, sweetie."
You're still number 1 to me in the whole world

>>45681384
>>45681438
You let her now that this is your life's work, and it's imperative that you be hands on, but that nothing is more important to you than her. She smiles, and turns a bit red. She then stands from her chair, and gives you a warm, sincere hug.

"I love you, daddy." You return the affection. "Hey, I really like my pets. But there's something else I'd really like, to keep me company while you're away."

It's the hellhound question again, no doubt. They're far too much work to feed, even if they are graceful and lethal animals.

You tell her she can have a pup, but that you'll take no responsibility for it's raising. You hear a soft giggle in your ear.

"No, silly daddy. I don't want a puppy." You feel slightly confused, watching her happy, yet embarrassed face as she pulls away from you.

"What I really want is...well..." You've never seen her so red. Hell, you've never seen her mother so red. "It's so embarrassing! But..."

The two of you sit in silence for a moment, before she takes a deep breath and simply blurts out what she's been trying to get to.

"I want a baby brother! I want a baby brother who I can hold and feed and dress and play with, so I won't be lonely when you're out killing people!" You feel yourself jolt back a bit. That's certainly a taller order than a puppy.

"Oh my devil, I can't believe I said it, aaaaah!" Vanessa screams as she stomps around giddily.

You half answer and half dodge the proposal by reminding her that you've got nobody to conceive such a child with. You feel confident in this answer.

"I don't care who the mommy is, daddy. You can use my pets! I've been teaching them all sorts of tricks, and they'll do whatever I say! You even have two tries to get it right! Please, daddy? I promise I'll take extra special good care of my baby brother!"

She's been planning this. Her looks and her charm aren't the only thing she got from her mother. She also seems to have inherited her manipulative and terrifying personality. She also seems hell bent on seeing this through.

She perks up at this, and you see her eyes twinkly like they never have before.

"Really! You promise, daddy!" You try to respond, but are cut off by an excited shriek and a storm of giddy laughter. "I'm getting a baby brother! Baby brother! Baby brother!" Again, you attempt to interject, but she is too fargone. "I'm gonna start calling all my sorority sisters to tell them! Oh my gosh! We have to have a baby shower! Jessica is gonna lose her mind!" With that, Vanessa vanishes, either to make a few phone calls or to pick out baby blankets from the tailor. Either way, you're left alone and exhausted in the conference room. Or so you think.

"Wow, she was pretty excited." You jump up a bit, and look over to your side. There is a young boy there, with wavy brown hair tied into a tail, and a black outfit that somewhat resembles a set of robes, only without sleeves and much more fitting. You glare at him, and he looks back at you, unshaken.

"I'm Kyle, by the way. Duncan's been teaching me to be stealthy."

>>45682287
"Thanks! He says I have talent. Spent a lot of time out in the city, ducking guards and snatching bread and cheese." You recall now that this must be the boy you took in the day you took control of the city and defeated Shen. He seems to be growing up strong, and he has excellent posture, much like his teacher. You ask him why it is he's shown himself now.

"I dunno. Bored, I guess. All he lets me do is shadow you all the time. I've been within ten feet of you nine hours a day for the past two months. It's not easy, but I don't think I'm learning anything new."

Duncan has been quite occupied, so you can see why he might have little time for the boy.

You tell him to follow Duncan from now on. He seems to think this will be even more difficult, but challenging one's self is the best way to improve one's skills. In the meantime, you offer to give him a personal lesson. Despite his calm attitude, you sense he's actually quite happy to accept.

The two of you venture down into the training yard, and you toss him a training weapon

I would say sword but Duncan will most likely help him 'build arm' strength. Our gay little Assassin. best Man at the future wedding.

>>45682675
He takes up the twin set of knives, and begins toying with them, until you correct him. You tell him that a weapon, even one meant for training, is never a toy. A weapon is a tool. In the hands of a fool, a weapon is a clumsy and dangerous thing, but he who knows his tools and treats them with respect and dignity has nothing to fear from them. He seems to understand, and you begin the first lesson.

Educate the boy on methods of torture that leave no marks, after our lecture he is to practice on the prisoners, and have duncan supervise his work, should he leave physical marks behind then he has earned 2 lashes,
This is obviously something long term though

>>45682849
You show him the many ways to conceal a weapon, so that even a keen eye won't notice. You once had a chum who was quite good at the 'covert murder' game, until he was ordered to murder you. Now he's much better at the 'rotting at the bottom of a lake' game. Still, while you were friends he taught you plenty that you still remember to this day.

Kyle wasn't bragging when he claimed to have talent. The boy is a quick study. In only an hour he seems to walk with all the cool confidence of a professional. You think of moving on to the five most notable and easy to pierce arteries, when the training room doors burst open, revealing Vanessa, who rushes over carrying a handful of paint swatches.

"Daddy! Daddydaddydaddy! Which one do you think will go better in the baby's room, seafoam or periwinkle? Jessica says she likes this one, mountain morning, because it's intense, but I'm worried it will spook the baby. Oh, and this one is called 'azure dreams'... Even the name is soothing!" You look over to Kyle, who seems just as surprised as you are by this sudden intrusion.

>"Vanessa, Daddy is busy right now, we can talk over dinner tonight."
>"Sweetie, you're getting too far ahead of yourself."

We don't even have a candidate for the mother. Also I am a bit busy teaching Kyle here how to kill people, he is an excellent spy in the making. Might even have you teach him a bit come time in methods of information extraction.

I now I'm not the only one who thought about it at least once, but I'm just gonna say it and address the Elephant here. We could always have Vanessa be the mother, since she's so keen on it. There, it's out in the open now.

>>45682997
>"Sweetie, Have you even found a female first? Do not get ahead of yourself until after one of fitting status is approved now please run along, We're working. "

You tell her Duncan loves nothing more than interior decoration, which you aren't sure is actually a lie, but then again he never talks about himself. She seems a bit dejected, but undeterred. As you gently push her out the door, you tell her that before any sort of decorations are picked, she'll need to find a suitable mother. This seems to turn her attention effectively.

"You're right! I need to find the perfect mommy for my baby brother! One who's powerful, and beautiful, and has big breasts perfect for feeding! I won't let you down daddy, my baby brother will be perfect!" You wish her good luck and slam the door, returning quickly to Kyle. The boy seems flustered. You take careful note of the look in his eyes, and recognize it easily. It's the look of many a man who you've seen lured to his death. He has eyes full of lust. Turns out, Duncan didn't teach him everything he knows.

You grab his chin and turn it toward you. He seems frightened, which is the correct response. You tell him that that road leads to nothing but eternal damnation, and not the good kind. Pits of screaming corpses, or at best, entropy within the belly of a demoness. He swallows nervously. You think this boy must be confused by these new feelings, only just coming to notice them within himself. You relent a bit, and tell him to sit down, and put the knives away. You sit beside him, and put a hand on his shoulder. You don't recall exactly what your father said to you, so you'll have to wing it. Where to start.

Kyle seems confused, but also excited. He'll only have one of those feelings come sunrise.

The two of you teleport into the city, and make your way to the highest grade dispenser of debauchery around. It is a large mansion, complete with a yard and a gate, which houses a large number of middle-born women and even some men. All of them have the integrity of a cracker, and the goldlust of a miser at rent week. You lead young Kyle through the gates, unopposed by the guards, and up to the door. The butler, an aged but powerful looking man, answers, and asks your business.

>Hand Kyle a pouch of coins and tell him you'll come to get him tomorrow morning.
>"My ward here is of age to know a woman. This should be enough for a night of study."

You raise the coin purse up and jingle it to show how bloated it truly is. The butler seems shocked to witness such a payment come through the door all at once. You tell him the boy is to know the way of love, and that only the most gentle and skilled lady of the house will do for his tutor. The butler happily takes the purse and shows you in.

The parlor is quite well kept, featuring fine furniture, a violinist playing fine music, wine and hors d'oeuvres, and of course a true bevy of women in every shape and size, all dressed lightly in outfits that contain about as much cloth altogether as a bath towel. Kyle is red faced, gazing all around at the smiling faces of both men and women, as the butler leads you up a set of large stairs to the second floor.

You eventually arrive at a wooden door, which he knocks on twice, and opens, revealing a luxurious bedroom. There is a large four poster bed, an armoire made of fine wood, a makeup table filled with the finest of products from overseas, and a carpet so luxurious you can feel it through your boots. In the corner is a large tub full of hot water, and a buxom red haired woman soaking in it. Upon seeing you, rather than be startled, she smiles, and emerges from the water, wrapping herself in a towel which only serves to accentuate her curves. Kyle trembles as she approaches, but you've been around the block, and merely extend a hand to shake.

"Dark lord, may I introduce Lady Thorne, the patron of this fine establishment. Her mother before her began the house, and she continues to run it." You greet her warmly, and she reciprocates.

"I must admit, dark lord, I never expected to have the...pleasure of entertaining you personally." You correct her, and push Kyle forward. He swallows hard, and reaches out a shaky hand. Lady Thorne takes it, and kisses his knuckles softly. "I see. Such a sweet boy. I'll be sure to take special care of him." She reaches out and pulls him close, pushing his face into her chest.

You spend some time chatting up the ladies in the lobby, overshadowing the intimidated fools who came tonight expecting an ear, before returning to the fortress. You get a good night's sleep before leaving early the next day to pick up Kyle.

When you arrive, he is sitting on the front steps of the mansion, dog tired and a bit pale. You ask him how things went.

"My dark lord...I..." You watch as his eyes turn up, the only lively thing about him. "I never knew. I just...I never knew. Thank you for this, my dark lord." The boy prostrates himself on the brick path of the mansion.

"I will never be able to show you enough gratitude. I will serve you until my dying breath, and beyond, in the very pits of hell itself."

You've never seen such blind servitude. It's beautiful.

>>45684583
tfw that was the last time, too.

>>45684416
You reminisce for a moment, than come back down to earth to tell him he must resume his training starting now. He stands, dusts himself off, and prepares to join you and teleport home. Before you draw in the magical energy to step, however, the mansion door swings open. Lady Thorne and her butler emerge, he in his suit and she in her dressing gown. You stop channeling so they may approach.

"My dark lord! I was hoping to speak to you again! Your boy is quite a fast learner, I must say. He must get it from you, I think." The old whore. Flattery will get her everywhere. As you glance down at Kyle, you notice him beginning to perk back up. He couldn't possible still need satiating?

"The other girls loved him as well. He has such a lovely singing voice, they were enchanted all through tea time. Please, I know it is not my place, but if you might see it agreeable that he returns to sing for the girls on Sundays when we close for cleaning, I'd be immensely grateful. I'll even pay him two silver coins a week for pocket money."

What a wench to ask for one of your men to act as a simple minstrel. And yet, the look in her eyes is strange. Not lust, nor greed, but true and doubtless enchantment. You look to Kyle. He is clearly still not ready to part with this place, but he must if he does not wish to fall under the spell of lust and indulgence.

>"Very well, but not today. Today he must work."
>"I forbid it. Come along, Kyle."
>"You seem out of sorts, Lady Thorne."

Did we ever find out why we have such bad blood btw OP with our ex??

>>45684649
For the record, they were casual sex partners for about a century, and were married for thirty years. They were always bad for one another though.>>45684680

Twitter, my friend, for all your backstory needs

>>45684679
>"Very well, but not today. Today he must work."

>>45684679
Okay but you have to come visit us every Saturday.

>>45684679
Kyle may join you when he wishes. But surely you and your girls might reward him in other ways as well, if they find his voice so enchanting?

Then, on the way home:
>>45684464
This.

>>45684679
>"Very well, but not today. Today he must work. Do understand, He is still training we just saw fit to reward him my dearest. If you have any other deals... or know something is up due give us for-warning. Men speak while in the debts of lust."

>>45684704
thanks Op, you cleared it up quite nicely... and I don't have a fucking twitter.

>>45684767
>If you have any other deals... or know something is up due give us for-warning. Men speak while in the debts of lust

Nice idea. Someone wanting to portray themselves as important might reveal some details they perhaps shouldn't have, and we're always interested.

>"Very well, but not today.

>>45684767
You tell her that he may return and entertain the girls, but not today. He still has a ways to go before he is a true man, and you'll see that getting there is his first priority. Lady Thorne seems only slightly disappointed, but finds the deal otherwise acceptable. You tell her that if he should come around, any stray whispers that come into the ears of Lady Thorne or her girls must return to the fortress with him.

"Of course, my dark lord. Anything you wish." You are not sure she is totally sincere, but regardless, you nod and accept the terms before turning and teleporting home.

At the fortress, you set Kyle back to work, beginning with strength and stamina training. He gets to it, still full of vigor.

Wait did we just turned our apprentice into a some kind of dark smashbuckler?

>>45684927
Ask about his singing.

This is something we should encourage; a silver-tongued bard would come in handy.

Then ask about Lady Thorne.

>>45684966
>disgression
discretion?

>>45685003
thats the one
cheers
at least you knew what i meant

>>45684966
discretion, but yes, I wholeheartedly agree

>>45684927
>Ask about his singing, and Lady Thorne also drill home discretion

something seems...off.

Alright OP
heading to bed, but I hope you and the rest of you guide our Dark Lord into a nice grimdark future.

>>45685132
I'm hoping for a bright sunny one meself

>>45684966
As Kyle performs his burpees with enthusiasm, you begin to approach the subject of his singing. He doesn't seem shy to talk about it either.

"I've just always liked to sing, my dark lord -hup!- every since I was small. -hup!- I sang for coins on the street -hup!- but I never had much money so my voice -hup!- was always weak. -hup!- But since I came here, I eat better -hup!- and get plenty of sleep, so -hup!- I think that's made me stronger. -hup!- I've even noticed birds coming -hup!- to my window in the morning while -hup!- while I get dressed."

Intriguing. You've heard of a very rare few with the power to enchant using song and poem, but never thought it might be true. You tell him to switch to stomach crunches, and ask about Lady Thorne.

"Lady Thorne is quite kind, my dark lord. And quite, er, gentle. She spent nearly the whole night instructing me, and even held me as I slept, though I didn't get much time for it. The only thing odd about her is her obsession with hugging. She practically held me to her ear the whole time."

This may require future investigation.

>"Enough, boy. Let me hear this voice you're so proud of."
>"Enough, focus on your muscles for now."
>Other

>>45685212
Ask him to demonstrate the voice on someone else, not on ourselves. Let's observe, and analyze any magical effects.

Also ask him to go into detail about what Lady Thorne did, because I'm starting to wonder if she took our money and then didn't actually do the deed with Kyle.

>>45685212
This >>45685279
But keep him working out. He has to be able to mulit-task.

>>45685279
No, they had sex, I wasn't trying to be sneaky

>>45685212
>"Enough, focus on your muscles for now."

As great as singging and charm people is we are creating a warrior. Or at least a the future commander/admiral of our navy.

>>45685310
Ah, he was just embarassed?

I had started to get the impression that since he didn't know what he was seeking, and they knew that, they played him and gave him cuddles all night (as well as listening to him sing). Which would have been hilarious.

>>45685310
I'd still like details.

>>45685298
You ask to see his voice demonstrated, and he is more than happy to oblige. You call in one of the minions left to patrol the grounds, and stand back while you have him sit and listen to Kyle's song.

It seems the boy only knows how to hum and sing a few unorganized bars, but even at a distance your head begins to feel cloudy. After a minute or so, he stops, and your thoughts fall back in line. When you inspect the minion, however, you realize he has been charmed. Not just a simple suggestive state, but a full on hypnosis. The boy really does have talent.

You pat him on the back, and tell him he will indeed be of great use to you. He seems proud of this.

>"From now on, singing at the mansion will be part of your training."
>"You must only sing when ordered, so as not to let knowledge of this slip out."
>"Practice your singing, but focus on your body. That will serve you better than any trick."

>>45685518
>>"From now on, singing at the mansion will be part of your training."

This.

And meanwhile, let's develop some protection from such mind control.

>>45685446
An hour of kissing practice followed by oral stimulation on both sides, then tea and snacks, then a few hours of missionary leg-lock and some cowgirl, interrupted by spooning and water breaks, as well as a tandem bath.

He came three time, she came seven times

Eh?

>>45685562
You're resistant to mind control, which is how you survived being in a relationship with Vanessa's mother. The only thing that can penetrate your will is Vanessa's love, or a good clam chowder.

>>45685518
>"From now on, singing at the mansion will be part of your training. But you cannot stop focusing on your body tricks won't always work....and women like muscle men"

>>45685567
Sounds like it was her first time, Kek.

>>45685611
Oh, good.

>>45685518
Have him practice singing, and find him some training for his voice. If he can do this well with no actual singing ability (though the ladies of the mansion thought he did due to the magical effect), then imagine what he could do with a real singing voice.

>that warm fellling of fatherly pride.

>>45685562
Kyle seems to understand. You have a new potential lieutenant, and things are looking up. You return the minion to his patrol after a good slap, and return Kyle to his drills. For the rest of the day, even through Vanessa's chatter about her soon to be brother, you feel quite pleased to have stumbled upon such a potent weapon.

This happy mood would be shattered the next morning, when a distress call was sounded by your troops at the border.

>>45685697
Again, I know it's super early, but I've got a weekend with my own daughter, and I won't be able to run the rest of today or tomorrow. I'm sorry if anyone is diappointed, but I'll be back next week with more.

As always, thank you to everyone who came by, I hope you all enjoyed the thread, and I certainly hope you'll come back again next time! Check the twitter in the OP for thread times and story bites, and I hope you all have a great weekend!

If someone would be so kind as to archive this, I'd be extremely grateful.

>>45685728
Thanks for the quest OP, be safe and enjoy the time with your daughter!

It all makes since now the BEG is op.

>>45685728
i shall be here tomorrow too!!
