Chapter 53: Night before the departure

The duo quickly got up on the eagle, and the bird rose to the air, then Vivian gave a few instructions to it and as it flew turned to Rex with the mountain of questions she now had.

"Would you be so kind as to elaborate on your last statement?"

"Sure, just wait a bit, there is something we have to do, but for that we gotta get a bit higher and further away from here." and after Rex responded they sat as they were untill Rex had finished his preperations. HE had made a solid barrier centered on the eagle, allowing it to continiue along its path with ensureing they were hidden from prying eyes. Then he gestured for Vivian to come a bit closer, indicating that whatever he is about to disclose is some sort of a secret, and even in their current situation he was worried about unwanted listeners.

She leaned closer to him, awaiting some juicy info that she might have to figure a way deliver to her sect without rising his suspicion while earning more and more of his trust and confidence. She believed that, while very powerfull and quite vigilant, he was still a youngster, that had recieved no education in the cunningness and ruthlesness of the human mind and the world, so he was still quite naive. So imagine her shock when she felt her soul shackled and branded. She was now not only his follower or servant but slave in every way imaginable.She quickly got back from him and half stripped herself looking for the slavery runes on her arms and torso, then she visibly paled, when she realized that she felt the branding with her blood and soul, and that was enough to understand teh nature of this enslavement.

"YOU ARE A BLOOD MAGE!" she exclaimed, as she instinctually felt all the rules she had to follow and obey. Sure they were quite lax and forgiving in general sense, but still teh absolute loyality she felt towards the man and the inability to betray his was quite the odd feeling.

"Now then, what were the orders of your sect master for you to achieve as you would be serving me?" he asked her, knowing full well that she now will answer him truthfully and without hinding anything.

"It is as you had guessed. My mission is to earn your trust, learn the extent of your might and if possible try to earn some benefits for the sect once you consider me quite important part of your harem. Then I was to learn of your relationship with the blood mage that is your aquintance, and if possible establish a relationship for our sect with him as well. Then continue to raise my importance in your life, becoming one of the primary if not the main wife."

"Ohh, and when were you going to start to seduce me, with such elaborate plans?" he asked.

"A month or so later, asuming you were treating me nicely. I could reason that it was enough time to get over my seperation from home and enough time for me to develop some sort of interest towards you as a future partner since I had to serve you regardless. Then, once again depending on the situation within six months to a year I would hopefully have managed to concieve your child, strenghtening my position. Everything further was open for change and adaptation as we did not have enough info and time to work that out."

"Wow!" Rex whistled "That is quite the ellaborate plan, I must admit."

"And what good it did us? Your entire existance seems a spit in the general understanding of blood mages and their capabilites. In our thousand years of history we have never heard nor withnesed a blood mage capable of branding someone without extensive preperations and a ritual."

"I am full of suprises. You will get used to it, dont you worry. What I am more interested in however is that magnificent body of yours, and seeing as how you had already prepeared as far as concieving, I will be enjoying your services quite soon it seems."

A slight blush appear on her face. While it was true that she was somewhat prepeared for the execution of her duty, she was quite sure she had quite a bit of time still to condition herself, but now with the brand and him knowing the truth, she might have to d oit all much, much sooner. With her head hung low to hide her blush and akwardness she asked timidly

"What are you going to do regarding my orders master? Would you please spare them?" she was worried for her sect after all.

"Nothing. Its not like they asked you to kill me and loot my valuables, or to hurt my harem back home. We will figure out what info and when you will send back to them, but that is for later. Also dont worry too much about the servicing part. While it is true that you are incredibly beautifull and quite lust inducing, I have plenty of girls to satiate said lust. But be sure of one thing though, eventually I will have my fun with you, and who knows, you might even seek me out of your own accord sooner than the previous eventuallity."

The next few hours were spent in a relative quiet, with a few commands from Vivian to the eagle to adjust its path or a question regarding some of teh topics she was quite interested in, adn seeing as Rex did not mind to answer, she did not shy away from asking after the first one. The question included teh Elysion, its trial and how that realm now works, since she had questions regarding him opening the p[ortal and send the five girls inside. A few questions regarding his life in Blythe, the home they are going to, and the people she will have to live with and the rules among them she will haev to follow. From the qestioning she learned that she will be part of the core group, reaffirming Rex decision to eventually bed her, the different classifications in Rex mansion and rather detailed explanation regarding his girls- their likes, dislikes, temperament and other small things, that a proper powerhouse would not know regardibng their own slaves. Yes almost all of said girls were his slaves, and the select few who were not, still had a special mark that allowed them to sense each others intent as well as protected them from being enslaved by anyone else who is weaker than Rex when it comes to the matter of soul power and skill.

Another few hours later as the sun was starting to set they had finally reached teh city tha twas their destination, so, instead of landing, Rex grabbed Vivian, and gave teh eagle a choise of seeking out a new mate to bring along or do so near the new home of his once they return there. The bird chose the second option, since it had a rather simple thinking, but even then it wanted to leave the place with painfull recollections behind, so it quickly entered teh portal Rex opened as he and Vivian started to fall once they were off the eagle.

Rex had shifted the center of the barrier towards himself before the eagle entered Elysion, so their rather quick descent and Vivians hysterical screaming was not heard by a single soul, and when they were relatively close to the groudn Rex utilized his mana to cusion the fall, and so they landed gracefully and without a problem. Once on the ground Vivian slumped down, and with light tears in her eyes glared at Rex since that was the best she could do in her current situation.

"Here!" Rex called Vivian, trowing her a towel and gesturing towars the small river that was up flowing towards teh nearby town, and noticing his intent, she quickly gathered herself, and did exactly what was inplied. She quickly washed her face in the cool water and in no time was ocne again elegant and a personification of beauty. AS they were approaching the city, Rex thout for a moment, then forewarned Vivian

This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

"Do not warn anyone about my power. It is a great opportunity to slap some faces and ward off lustfull and arrogant young masters." Vivian could see what could only be described as excited and despickable grin on his face, and she had a suspicion that the man almost loved the trouble and thrived in such scenarious. She could only sigh, step closer to him and respond

"Understood master."

"I love when my girls are smart." Rex laughed, then added "We will be having dinner with the girls once we have secured a decent lodgings, then we will use the gates in the morning to get back home as fast as possible, since my space element is just not developed enough to perform teleports of such distance unanchored."

"I know a good restoraunt in the city, if master is interested." she spoke. She remembered this one place she had been quite a while ago, and while somewhat pricy, the meals there were exquisite, and she was sure that ther master could afford that.

"No need, girls will be cooking themselves, since I preffer at least eaarth grade food for my meals, and there is high chance the place will have none."

"Does master eat earth grade food often?" she asked with dreamy eyes as she remembered the few times she had the opportunity to have a taste of such exquisite food and delicacies.

"Hmm? Ow right." Rex responded "We only eath earth grade and above im my mansion since I do hunt for it regularily. So you will get used to it."

"OK." was all she spoke as she dissapeared in the land of dreams for a few minutes, and only returned to reallity as they reached the gates, and the guards asked for either some sort of an identification or a fee for passing into the town. Rex paid for both, since he did not want some retard to annoy them straight the moment they learned that Vivian had entered the city, but his hopes were crushed when he saw a few beggars in quite lousy clothing and conditions to scurry away, probably to inform their masters of either Vivian or an exquisite beauty entering their city with almost nothing in regards of guards or entourage.

"Lead us to a decent inn." Rex spoke once inside the city and having spent some fifteen minutes apreciating the culture that permiated this place. Many peaople were walking around, and the buildings were built in the traditional manner of estern style back in his original earth. As they were walking through the streets Rex could sense more and more people tailing the duo as they moved deeper and deeper in the city. Soon they came upon some sort of a coaching service, and after a short negotation with one of the guys there, Vivian aquired them a transport, and within a single hour of quite comfortable and relaxing drive they were in front of their destination.

A rather large looking building that resembled more of a temple than simple inn. It even had its own inner garden that was walled of from the rest of the city. Words were engraved in a plaque above the opened gate 'Heaven Pavilion'. The two, after paying the coachman, entered the gate without any difficulties, and the few guards standing near the gate paid them no heed. As they closed in on the grand building Vivian explained that the guards are there to keep the gang members following in the territory of the Heaven pavilion and disturbing their guests rest and relaxation. The hall and the lobby were lavishly decorated, showing off the wealth and status of the establishement.

Soon they stopped at a rather well polished and exquisitly made counter, where a couple of young and pretty girls waited. Rex left the negotiation to Vivian, since she was informed of the room they would need. As she aproached the two girls and stated her needs, once of the two asked innocently as she was going through the book to find a suitable room that was in accordance to the specified needs

"What brings one of the four godesses of our generation to our city? We heard miss Vivian was in seclusion."

"I achieved what I secluded myself for." was all she decided to share. She was well aware how a lot of quite important information is shared and often girls like the two in front of her passed on many rumors or things they hear during their work. Seeing that her approach will not work, the atendee ask nothing else, an proceeded with her job. The second one then asked her, acting shy and sometimes glancing at Rex.

"Is miss interested in the man traveling with you?" and to ensure nothing could be misunderstood she quickly added "If not, this lowly one would like to have the chance to strike up a conversation." She slightly squirmed, as if embaraced and proud about her own courage in trying to pursue the man that had caught her fancy.

"I have a job to fulfill along that person.Nothing else, so feel free to do as you please." With that the first one finalized the registering of her presence, and once she paid for the room with the coins Rex had given her, the two moved to the designated room. Once inside, they closed and locked the door, then Vivian spoke to Rex

"Master the dark haired girl from teh reception might possibly seek you out. She seemed interested in you." Rex chuckled at her words and responded

"Quite the contrary my sweet Vivian. I have to admit, she is a good actor for sure, but there are things one cant fake, even if they try their damn hardest."

"What do you mean?" she asked back as she frowned, the actions and facial expressions all looked genuine.

"The two are quite a good teamplayers. The first one distracts with a rather plain and crude attempt at gathering knowledge, while the second one goes for the well timed and aimed precision strike. So it was no wonder they managed to fool you, but I rely on energy sensing when reading people, and basicly nobody can do what I am doing, so obviously there is no defence against stuff that has never been experienced before. Anyways, time to visit the girls and have a solid meal before sleep, dont you agree?" and the girl only nodded to his question, anticipation and hope in her eyes for the first time since she had become his. Then Rex employed another barrier around the room to ensure nobody could spy on them, then he opened a portal to Elysion, and since he was the owner of the realm, they exited very close to the girls who were prepearing dinner right now, and Rex could feel it was close to ready. The duo greeted the easygoing and relaxed women, and with some light conversation around thirty minutes passed and the meal was ready.

The dinner was one of the most blissfull things Vivian had experienced in recent history, as she enjoyed every bite of the food she was given. The five cultivator maids were a bit more composed now since they had the chance to slowly addapt to this level of meals for a few days already, sicne he had given them a small storage ring with earth grade meat to cook they own meals since he could not have his servants to lack in quality food.

Once the meal was over Rex, Vivian and one of the cultivator maids returned to the rented room, and once back and with the gate closed Rex spoke

"You will get used to it. Aisha back home is even more spectacular cook. Wait till you get to have a taste of teh breakfast she cooks. That will rock your world like no tommorow." Since the establishment they rented their room was quite high end, each room had its own small bathroom, where once could wash away the dirt of the day, so Rex had a quick minishower, thanks to his mana and aura controll, and the girls had the same. As he was getting in one of the beds he finaly spoke of the reason why he asked a maid to acompany them back

"Since Vivian is sleeping with me, I need you to just have a nice and relaxing sleep in the other bed. Cant the cleaners to asume and spread rumors that she is already claimed and deflowered." and seeing Vivian blush and be slightly unvilling he added "Relax, its not like I am going to fuck you tonight, but sure as hell that would feel nice. No I am going to enjoy my new hug pillow for tonight, but if you feel like you really want, we can go further." He smired and lied down to enjoy the softness of the bed in this luxurious hotel. A short while later Vivian also timidly got in teh bed with Rex, and she was soon pulled into him and then used as a soft and nicely smelling fillow to hug to sleep, then before drifting off to sleep he asked

"Would you like to buy some traditional clothing from here, or are you willing to just pick up the customs of your new home staright away." It was the maid who answered

"Even when we assimilate into the new culture, it would still warm our hearts to either wear or look at some of the clothing from our homeland, so if possible, we would apreciate greatly the ability to buy some clothing from here."

"So, we will do just that before we leave through the gate network to my home."
