Chapter Fifty Eight
S L A V E S : GET THEM WHILE THEY’RE HOT!
Osiris sat in a lobby while he waited for his sibling to notice him. They’ve been oddly quiet lately, and he’s sure they’re up to something.
But he’s also up to something.
The Sibling war should start picking up. They should all be learning about that stupid contract by now.
He just has to grin and bare it.
Two more years. Just two more years and then the war, then he can.. he needs to start making a book of ideas. Just killing them after all the shit they’re putting him through won’t be enough.
In person his siblings are angels, always trying to keep their image away from his. In private they’re nasty little bugs. Always trying to infest his life. He hates it. He hates them. He HATES THEM HEHATESTHEMHEHATESTHEMHEHATESMTHEMHE-
“Phew!” He wiped his brow, finally catching their attention. “Almost lost myself there for a second.”
Luella and Axel both turned in shock to see their baby brother sitting in the lobby of one of the best slave dealers on the market. They come here often to browse between their daily plans. It’s something they’re close about. They looked at each other.
Their faces turned to teeth.
Osiris pretended to just notice them as they walked up.
“You people.”
“Brother Osiris, what brings you to this little shop?”
“..”
“Why do you think.”
“As blunt as always.”
Luella closed her fan.
“What type of slave are you looking for?”
Their eyes were like a falcon eyeing a trout. They were so stupidly obvious it hurt his soul. Dealing with them was boring, but the Queen is too busy trying to win the King’s love she’s forgotten about their dance.
Osiris took a deep breath.
Let them have their fun. His smile turned to them and stretched. They have a timer on their heads. Be patient.
“I’m looking for something long.”
“Long?” Luella’s signature fan popped back up. “How long?”
“..”
He shrugged.
Luella was finally going to have black mail on this bastard. The bastard started a trend that is forcing everyone to age up their mutts. Anyone fucking anything younger than ten years is seen as a pedophile. She’s had to kill nearly half her human servants to keep it quiet.
“Come.” She pulled Axel along. “Let big brother and sister show you around.”
“Yes, come. They just received some mers I think you might like.”
There was a small bug enclosure with three little cat-moth critters. They were half the size of his hands.
“How cute.”
He poked the glass.
“They’re rather hard to catch, but make great pets.”
Luella smiled behind her fan.
While Axel worked on luring the boy into a false sense of ease maybe he’ll slip something.
There was a beast armadillo.
It reminded him of a spiky pocket monster. Osiris forced its tail to bend so he could see the ridges. They were pretty cool. He would imagine they hurt when they hit. It was about a D Grade.
“He has a long tail, doesn’t he?”
“It’s a bit shorter than his body length.”
“Do you like long tails?”
He did like when men wore their hair up. A worthy tail for a worthy reign.
“Yeah, they can look really good sometimes.”
Luella grinned.
There were some neat slime cat-axolotls, but they were the size of Great Danes.
“..”
He saw something wonderful.
“How much.”
“T-there a hundred coopers-”
Osiris shoved his guild card at the man.
“Send it to Kou.”
“Y-yes, Sire.”
Osiris was salivating at the thing. Axel and Luella were appalled.
“You like…”
“It’s going to taste so good.”
“…”
“…”
By the end of the little randevu Osiris left with the entire mythical beast stalk, and his siblings thought they figured out his type.
“So he likes the ones with long tails.”
“A lot of people do.”
“They do get the best reactions out of them.”
“They scream the loudest when you break them.”
“…”
“…”
“Let’s meet back later.”
Aspen cursed his luck for getting partnered with Osiris for their Animal Care Class. The boy actually showed up today. He looked him over as the Prince lifted a mythical beast into the air. It hated it, but nothing it did left any damage. He watched its tail slap the ground. It sounded hard.
“…”
He fucked Dove at the back of the library right before class. The entire time she was looking out the window at this man. Aspen didn’t know what love was, never had a reason too, but now… he was jealous.
Aspen scratched his forehead.
“How do you know when you’re in love?”
A loud slap puffed through the small pen area they were in. Aspen thanked Lux they were alone. His hand smooshed and covered his mouth.
He was mortified.
“..”
“Can you tell when you're not?”
“I-I think so, yes.”
“There’s your answer.”
“…”
“Did you need help with that?”
He received an invitation.
“We cordially invite you to XXX Slave Auctioneer showcase. Slave traders from around the world will be bringing their rarest gem- Blah, blah.”
It was a fancy black letter with Royal Guest written on it. His siblings were going all out trying to get some dirt on him. He doubts they’ll plan anything murdery, since it’s a Slave House they own, but he can never be too safe.

“..”
He needed to get new clothes from Goss.
Morpheus yelped as his owner wiggled wildly up and down his dick.
“Louder.”
A scream worthy of murder filled the room. Luella’s hips spread wider as she fucked herself on his dick as the dog screamed.
Morpheus felt her hand inch up his chest and towards a nibble. He cried.
Luella’s deep moan started as she peed on him.
HEHATEDITHEHATEDITHEHATEDITHEHATEDITH-
She could feel his fur soak through and become sticky. Morpheus kept screaming until she came. Her body fell forward and her dog yelped like she was beating him. SHE LOVED IT.
“Come.”
Luella started her thrusts again and leaned back to look at her pup. Freshly matured and terrified of pain. She moaned as she felt his knot grow. He was still shaking, trembling beneath her. She moaned into his neck.
IDONTWANTTOBEHEREIWANTMYM-
His knot locked in and he came. He wept and Luella tried to fuck herself on the growing dick. With her other pups she had to hurt them a few dozen times until they got it.
He learned after only taking a blow once.
She grabbed his screaming jaw and clamped it shut. She could still feel his wails through her fingers tips. She shivered. It wasn’t as fun as the real thing, but since Insipid’s departure she’d had to raise another quickie. She pulled his ear hard enough to make his eyes water.
Morpheus hoped this was enough for today.
His body trembled. It was always hard to breathe. Luella let go of his snout and he gave shaky, muffled moans of sorrow.
She shivered as he continued to cum in her. She loved how it twitched.
Knowing it hurts, she yanked herself up as she ripped herself from the mutt. She was fine, her aura and mana protected her, but him?
His little red rocket bled and he spasmed.
Isitoverisitfinallyove-
Luella could feel Axel’s presence at her castle gates.
“Leave.”
Morpheus ran with its tail shoved between his legs.
He wanted to go home.
He was wearing some nice lazy wear that Goss sent him. It felt like jeans and a shirt. He was in heaven. He felt so free-
“I see you're wearing… something interesting.”
Luella came all dolled up, looking like a little princess. God, he hated her.
“I want to see everything before the show.”
Axel walked up and motioned for him to follow.
“Come, I’ll show you the goods.”
“..”
They were getting smoother.
Osiris looked at his brother’s back. He should expect no less from his family. They were raised by the Queen after all.
“If you see anything you fancy I can have them set it aside.” Axel opened a door for him. “We only have thirty minutes, so I apologize for the rushed review.”
There were more than just beasts this time.
Angles, demons, elves, trolls, harpies, they had almost everything. He even spotted humans this time. Colored humans, but still human. He looked around the room. Well, human to him.
Axel went around showing him this and that.
Osiris wasn’t really interested, he had other plans. Then he spotted it. The baby Tula. Part of the Golem family, they grow to the size of a mountain. Around it, in a peacock-like display, slices of agate were cocked like feathers around his head and shoulders in a feathery stone display. There were oranges, blues, and yellows, with the main body being a gneiss stone. Even if it had a long snoot for a face and doe, pitch black eyes, it was still an S Rank beast. A low ranked S Class, but still an S Class.
“Can you get me water.”
Axel felt his brow twitch.
“Sure, just water?”
“Yup.”
Axel left his shitty brother alone for a few minutes.
Osiris looked at the beast again. It was sitting with its back to the wall with eyes filled with rage.
“I know you can understand me.”
Its giant tail flicked, cracking the ground. Osiris watched little mana men start to close the hole. They were very effective.
“Let me give you some advice.” He popped the barrier with a flick. “The show starts in about fifteen minutes. If you wait, you can attack them-” Osiris caught the tail before it could touch the bars. “-while everyone is distracted with the show.”
The little golem trembled. He dropped the tail.
“You can stay quiet until then or go off now, but you can really hurt them if you wait a few minutes. I promise.”
The beast stared.
They’re fully capable of understanding other creatures and beings. They just can’t talk. He’s had to work with a few in no-man’s land. Osiris smiled at it. They were naturally gentle creatures. They sleep most of the day and eat stone at night. When they die they become one with the earth and create new mountains and valleys.
The beast’s pupils bled red.
“They must have really pissed you off.” Osiris pulled from the gate. “I won’t attack you if you don’t attack me.”
Axel walked into the room with a glass of water.
The golem stayed put even after they left.
He was looking forward to it.
Axel felt his face strain as he watched his brother hold the still full cup of water. He wa holding it, but doing nothing else. Then he turned to him.
“What’d you put in it.”
Axel looked at him confused.
So it wasn’t him. He glanced at Luella who was ‘looking’ at some dogs in the far corner. He saw a bead of sweat fall down her neck.
“Nothing, why?”
“..”
The sound of a large gulp caused Luella to snap her eyes at him in shock.
“Ah!” He sighed like it was the most refreshing drink he’s ever had. “The poison gives a nice high before it starts. Don’t worry, I’m immune.”
Their faces paled.
The lights dimmed and the stages was lit.
The two older siblings thanked their luck.
“T-the show is starting but I can go look in-”
“It’s fine. I know who it is already.”
The announcer started and Luella grabbed her dress.
Her mother told her he could see mana, but she never said he could see poison.
Osiris cannot see poison, but he can see the mana in the poison. Osiris wanted to spit in her face. He could see her confusion a mile away.
“I'm sure it’s a misunderstanding…”
“Doubt it.”
When he didn’t attack her Luella was conflicted.
She turned to the stage.
She… felt bad?
Luella motioned for wine.
Her pretty smile fell and she stole a glance at him. He was watching the show with light interest, but he was watching it with them.
“…”
Luella looked at the stage.
Some of her recent litters are up for sale. She had fun breaking these ones, but while they’re pups she needs to sell them. Though she prefers the older looking ones, they prefer the ones that look more like animals. Beastkin young always look like normal animals until they’re not. Through history it kept them hidden from humans until they began to evolve and change along with the rest of the races.
Luella has always liked dogs.
She fell in love with them when her father gave her a lab for the first time. The stupid thing kept coming back no matter what she did to it.
“…”
Osiris still had her pup.
She expected him to kill it once he left, but he… Luella chugged her cup and ordered another. Maybe he isn’t that bad. A few elves came on stage and her brother reacted. He looked interested, but it dissipated like burning cotton after about ten seconds.
Maybe he’s a dog person?
She felt tired suddenly.
She leaned back in her seat. Her brother still hasn’t looked at her.
“…”
She… maybe their mother was wrong.
When he wasn’t trying to get under their skin he looked normal. He was beautiful and tall, with a tiny waist, and long body. His hands were still a tad too big, and he still had a baby face, but he looked human.
She suddenly started to remember everything she's done to him. Over and over, like a broken record, they’ve all been trying to kill him. Maybe not so much Mer and Dar, but Axel, herself, and their mother have all kept pushing for his head.
“…”
Luella could feel the liquor kicking in.
It wasn’t enough to get her drunk but it was enough to make her forget for a bit. Right as her pups were about to be actioned something busted through the stage and crushed them to death.
“What’s happening?!”
Osiris sat and watched his two siblings start to mitigate on the mess that was the Tula. Such beautiful rocks.
Axel and Luella were mid yell when they remembered Osiris was here. Everyone up at the top turned to him with desperate eyes.
“What?” The smile was ugly. “Unless it attacks me you people are on your own.”
She takes it back. She takes it ALL back.
If he had a dollar every time someone gave them those beautiful, hate filled eyes he would be.. poorer than he is now, actually. Goss is flourishing under that tanuki’s care.
HE HATES IT-
The golem stood before him and everyone held their breath. It offered him a piece of its mane. Osiris took it and rubbed its snout. It felt like sandpaper.
Then the golem was off trampling and crushing nobles left and right. He was sure this was going to ruin their political power structure. They were going to be pissed. Osiris laughed as the golem managed to take out a seven tier mage. Even as a baby, you are basically fighting a little mountain.
It was quite funny how no one knew how to kill it.
“All that money and they didn’t do product research?”
“You-”
Osiris raised a brow and held up his hands.
“I didn’t do anything. I might know it’s mom from, you know, when your mother sent me across the continents into its homelands?”
Over the years the siblings have watched their brother’s smile twist and ruin his face in an ugly mess. Now nothing but mockery and hate was left.
He pushed the smile further.
Luella wanted to scream.
Axel bit his tongue.
He could neither confirm nor deny the accusation.
“How did it escape?”
Osiris shrugged.
“I was literally in there for two minutes. The thing was still there when we left. Don’t you two have other enemies besides me?”
They did.
“Fuck.”
Osiris snagged a falling tray of appetizers.
“Fuck indeed.”
He nodded sagely to them.
Stupid bitch.
Luella and Axel could only sit and watch as the beast ruined their business. One of many, but this one was going to hurt. The beast attacked when most of the inventory was being moved.
They glanced at Osiris who was having a blast cheering the thing on. They would run but the only place safe was at his table.
The King’s guards had to come and take the golem out. He ransacked and pillaged the entire block. Dozens of businesses and people were crushed in its breakout.
He was glad he came.
