After a long time. Both Marlin and Milly lay beside eachother in the grass. Both happy and exhausted. However Marlin could no longer keep down the panic attack that was slowly building up.
After coming down from his post coital clarity, shit went down the rabid hole. His mind was a whirlwind of thoughts, what on earth was he going to do? So far he never really put much thought to his overlord Discipline. all it had ever done was give him a capacity to get minions of which he had 1 a god damn goat with don Quixote syndrome and overlord made him look really scary.
Not in a Million years did he expect something like a Mistress system. The worst part? For Each Mistress he had, he gained another minion slot. Something told him that, that little tidbit was only scratching the surface.
“next thing you know there will be a favor system for each one that I conquer”. No! Bad thoughts! Bad thoughts! Shoo!
Did he feel a bubble of temptation? Of course he did, but all he had to do was imagine the pained faces of his parents and the whole thing revolted him. He felt bile building up in his throat and it filled him with self loathing.
“My love, you are still so restless what is wrong”? Milly asked him all starry eyed.
“Is that normal”? he thought “For someone to say such a thing so quickly? How long has she known me? 4 days and I was passed out for two”?
Women take way longer for something like this don’t they?
“Im afraid”. He heard himself saying.
Milly chuckled, “what on earth is my fearless warrior afraid off”? She asked teasingly.
“Of what my, ‘circumstance’ might have done to you. What it still might be doing to you”. His heart pounding. All he could think about now, was coming clean.
“You mean how im your mistress now”?
Marlin’s head snapped, his neck muscles straining from the whiplash. Milly grinned even more mischievously, And started giggling, “ow Martin you don’t have a lot of faith in me do you”?
“What do you mean? I mean i think you are awesome, amazing and a whole list of of positive words”, Marlin responded.
“Aww that’s sweet of you to say, but i guess I’ve teased you enough”. She looked at him and said. “Im gonna have to say quite a bit so don’t interrupt ok”?
Marlin nodded, very curious where this was going.
Milly continued. “You don’t seem to have much of a handle on your Domination, your Darker aspects of your personality.”
Marlin shook his head, “no i don’t, i feel like im barely scratching the surface”.
Milly nodded and continued:
“The offer to become your Mistress was given to me when we said our goodbyes. At first i thought you were an ashole”
She breathed in, “I was furious at first, we spent two blissful, intimate days together and then such a stupid request to become your slave? Like what the actual FUCK?”
She looked at Marlin and he saw her anger. She went on.
“So when i saw Bron go after you i asked Kotak to go along with what Bronn was saying” Milly smiled sheepishly. “I was really pissed and hurt”
Marlin sighed. “It was a good thing you sent Kotak, the guy keeps a cool head, but Milly that was stupid, it almost came to very bloody blows, Bronn was absolutely out for blood. Without Kotak, me or bron, probably both, would have died”. Marlin said it with a tone of absolute Finality.
Milly nodded and lowered her head in guilt. “I know and im sorry for that, So to continue, when Kotar came back and told me how you, not him had Diffused the situation including telling me word for word what you said. I got confused and started wondering what was going on. My initial thought of who you were after i got your request didn’t add up to what you said to my brother”
Marlin raised an eyebrow.
Milly took a breath. “Well that’s when i started to wonder, and i was at the freebooter guild by freak chance and overheard what your dad said and i went with him”
Marlin was feeling a mixture of emotions. Pissed at the situation, and pissed at Milly he didn’t like how she had let the situation go out of hand out of impulse, but he had to remind himself, that all she knew, was that he sent her a god damn slave request.
Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.
She was the Goddess of understanding considering her reaction when you took thing in perspective, “where is my god damn diplomacy skill? Haven’t you gods not seen how often ive diffused the situation by not being an ass and keeping my mouth shut?” marlin thought to himself.
Milly kept talking oblivious to Marlin’s thoughts.
“Your dad is relatively famous, his word carries weight, even in these remote parts. He told me in no uncertain terms how and why you came to this world marlin”.
She swallowed. “He saw your mark on me”
“and my dad put 2 and 2 together which is why he felt it prudent to tell you” Marlin finished.
Milly nodded. “he did, he also told me you have very little control over it and that most of these things happen automatically without your actual intent”
marlin nodded. “That still doesn’t answer why you accepted to become my mistress” it felt so unnatural to say.
Milly smiled. “Im practically finished with my training Marlin, in fact your little request gave me something to work on. You see the Potentation skill, was and still is, widely considered the true mark of a ruler and with it i can alter parts of the agreement you sent me”.
She smiled wickedly, but Marlin wasn’t, scared, he felt honest relief and intrigue.
“ive been working on that while you were sleeping off your healing exhaustion. And it actually pushed me into level two. Expert magic skills are a bitch to practice”
“Wana see the changes?”
Milly was trembling and Nervous. Her whole confident demeanor gone and she felt so submissive, vulnerable Marlin didn’t get why but smiled.
“yes please”.
Overlord’s oath to the mistress
By complying to this Oath, the overlord, agrees that the position of Mistress henceforth belongs exclusively to Milly Canta sorceress Supreme. This oath binds both in equal partnership and the sharing of Status screens is mandatory.
“Agreed” Marlin said.
“wait Marlin just like that?” Milly was actually startled.
“You want this right? Otherwise you wouldn’t have made it this way”?
Milly nodded slowly and her breathing became rapid.
“Ow marlin….” Her Voice reached a raw emotional high pitch that had Marlin confused, he realized he was missing some cultural context. But got distracted by her Status screen.

Yow Milly wtf so many skillsets without getting screwed over! This is so broken!
his words got cut off as Milly pounced him. And decided their lovemaking from an hour ago needed a sequel.
Congrats
you got engaged! May the two of you be blessed with a great future!
“when did i agree to this?”
Marlin was confused but happy, he had wanted to inquire about engagement and how it worked.
Then this whole mistress shitstick got in the way. Freaking Milly fixed that for him and somehow hooked him into an engagement.
He had to admit he really liked how Milly knew what she wanted and went for it.
not like it was unrequited or anything, the way his desire for her kept getting stronger, was absolutely maddening.
