Lyana woke up with a bad mood. The next bed only calmed down after midnight and even then, she still couldn't get any sleep. The sound and the image when she tried to take a peek haunted her the whole night. It wasn't as if she was oblivious to these sort of things. She knew about it, but seeing it for herself was a strange experience.
She turned her body to face Theo's bed. Theo and Vivi still slept, naked and hugging each other. They didn't even have enough decency to cover themselves with a blanket. It made Lyana even more furious. How could they be so intimate after what happened the night before?
Seeing Theo's naked body, Lyana gaze unconsciously move down toward his exposed crotch. "Oh, so that's why she moaned so hard last night." Lyana face turned red the instant she realized what she said. She stood up still with her red face and poked Theo's face with her feet. "Wake up you man whore!" She yelled. Theo woke up along with Vivi.
Vivi rubbed her own eyes and kissed Theo cheek. "Good morning Theo-Sama, last night was so amazing."
Theo smiled and pulled her head for a deep kiss. "Of course. I'm the best. Let's do it again tonight. Actually, just say it when you want to, I'm ready anytime."
"Yes." She replied with an innocent smile.
Seeing them act like a couple and ignoring her, irritated Lyana even more. She pulled Theo and made him get out from the bed. "Wear your clothes and wash!"
"Wear my clothes? Don't you want to marvel at my prized possession more?"
Lyana's face twitched. Theo was a vulgar and perverted man who doesn't know a single thing about decency. He was the kind of man who peeks at a girl when she was washing her body and didn't stop even after being notice by the girl. This, however, was too far.
She kicked his 'prized possession', but his reflex was fast, more so when defending his 'prized possession'. He moved his body and blocked her feet with an arm. "Hohoho. Don't think I won't see that coming." He taunted her.
"You, Vivi come with me!" She pulled Vivi off the bed.
"No! I want to wash with Theo Sama." She pulled back.
Theo rubbed her hair. "Vivi, you go wash with Lyana in the inn's bathroom, I'm going to the nearest river. I don't want your body to be seen by anyone other than me. So go with her okay?" Vivi nodded hesitantly. "Good."
---------
The Inn's bathroom was better than they thought. It wasn't big by any mean, but it was clean and they have their privacy.
"You're really loud last night you know, I can't sleep. Next time please keep it down." Lyana said while washing her body.
Vivi giggled hearing her complain. "Sorry Lyana, but I can't help it Theo Sama is just really incredible."
"Is this, uh, your first time?"
"No, I mean with this body, yes, but in my previous life I have done it with a few different men, but none can even come close to Theo-sama. God, he's just so..."
"Is he really that Amazing?"
"Absolutely! Most men when they do it, they only focused on their own pleasure without thinking about the girl, but Theo-Sama is different. He knows how to make me feel amazing, he knew where to touch, he knew when to slow down and when to go faster. He didn't stop until I'm satisfied. And his size did nothing but help it." There was a sparkle in her eyes when she said that.
"Did he...uh..." Lyana became embarrassed when she imagined what Theo and Vivi did last night. "Release it inside?"
"Yes."
"Aren't you afraid of becoming pregnant?"
"I'm worried at first, but he told me about the only magic he ever learned. Contraceptive magic. Think about it Lyana, he told me he has a load of women that he slept with every night. If he doesn't have a measure to prevent pregnancy, how many children would he have?"
"I guess you're right."
She looked over her shoulder at Lyana. "Lyana, have you ever done it before?"
"Never, and I'm not planning to do it anytime soon....or ever." She said with a cold voice.
"Why?"
"Don't get me wrong, what you did with Theo is perfectly normal. It's just.... I have a trauma with men and relationship." Lyana looked around and cast a spell to make sure that no one was eavesdropping. "Back where I come from, the demon realm. The relationship is not like you here. There, It's animalistic. The strong get a lot of mates and the weak get none. If a weak tried to defy the strong, they are raped or killed, or sold. I have seen my share of horror when my own father forced himself on mother."
"Isn't that just an abusive relationship?"
"You don't get it. My mother is also his, great.....grand daughter."
"What?"
"I have no love for him, nor did my mother. My mother is just one of his concubine. His sons were raised to be a slave-soldier and his daughters were raised to be his concubine. If he got bored, he sold them."
"That's... fucked up. Like, really. I have seen some fucked up things people have done, but that is something else. It's like a.... farm."
"Yes.......Wait! Why am I opening up to you?" Lyana stood up and turned toward Vivi. "I'm supposed to be angry at you for what you did yesterday!"
"Teehee." Vivi flashed a mischievous smile.
"Undo your mind magic at once!"
"Already did." She giggled.
"Fuck you, Vivi, I thought that we can be friends."
"We can. If you didn't realize I'm manipulating you with my mind magic. Believe me, I have no ill intention toward Theo-Sama future girlfriend."
"I'm not going to be his girlfriend. Ever." Lyana calmed down. "Also, How can you see through my disguise?"
"Oh please Lyana. Your disguise is a trash, and I'm not sorry for saying that, It's the truth."
"Ohh. Okay." Lyana sighed in disappointment. She wasn't good at disguise magic, but being called a trash was still too much for her. She racked her mind for a change of subject."Why still use the 'Sama' part? You don't have to play innocent anymore."
"He's my master, and he ordered me to do it, so I have to do it." Vivi pointed at her collar. "This thing forced me to. Even of it didn't, I'll still do it, It's fun playing as a slave."
"What is your goal?" Lyana asked.
"Hmm?"
"Do you think I will believe that you have no other plan after all that you did yesterday? After all that manipulating."
"No. I have no plan. And even if I did, why would I tell you? Think before you ask Lyana. You're smarter than this."
-------
Theo returned to his room where Lyana and Vivi waited for him. Theo sat on his bed, opposite to Vivi. Lyana observed them from the side while combing her hair. "You know Theo, You should forbid her from using her mind magic to both of us. She used that on me earlier."
"What are you talking about? I already forbid her last night."
Lyana eyes widen at the realization. She turned toward Vivi who was giggling at her. "You shouldn't be too trusty Lyana." Said Vivi.
Theo clapped his hand to gain their attention. "Vivi, let me tell you first. I will not harm you and I will do my best to make you happy, AS LONG, as you follow my order and bring no harm to me, my women, and my friends. If you harm them or disobey my order without any good reason, I will punish you. And believe me, that punishment is not the fun and sexy kind of punishment. Are we clear?"
"Yes." She answered promptly with a clear and serious voice.
"Good. Now tell me all about your power. No lie."
"Okay, I have the ability to manipulate a person mind, or animal, or anything with mind really. There is two way I can manipulate it. The first way is to mind control them directly. It's a magic that I haven't been able to train properly. It is very mana consuming and left me vulnerable, It's also easy to be noticed by other people. But even after all that bad thing, I can only make them do a simple task. So I'm sorry Theo-Sama, I can't mind control a woman to have sex with you."
"It's fine. I've tried it once, It's not that fun. Continue."
"The second way is to inject a suggestion to someone's mind. The effect varies from person to person, but it is very subtle. Once I inject a suggestion It's almost impossible to trace who the caster is. That's what I did to you yesterday Theo-Sama. I inject all kind of dirty thought about me into your mind." She has an innocent smile on her face, a contrast to what she just said.
"Too bad my mind is already filled with things like that." Theo laughed. "How many person or thing you can control at once?"
"If it's direct mind control I can only do one mind at a time. For injecting a suggestion, the amount varied depends on how resistant a mind is. For example, the effort I have to do to inject a suggestion to a human mind is roughly equal to injecting the same suggestion to 7 rats at once. There's another weakness of suggestion. The more complicated the suggestion, the less likely it's going to work. The owner of the mind would just dismiss it as a random thought. It's also very hard to inject a suggestion that goes against the owner's nature. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention I can read mind, but it's a very limited skill. If a person has a lot going inside his mind, I can only get a random thought."
"Explain to me how you can kill the noble that bought you."
"The first noble that bought me has a very weak mind. And he loved to watch the city from the roof of his house. I just mind controlled him to walk off the edge when he was drunk."
"You said that you can't control a person to do complicated things."
"I only controlled him to walk, It's not that hard. If let's say, I control him to hang himself, I won't be able to." Vivi Explained."The second noble has 4 wives and load and loads of mistress. His wives know nothing about the mistress, and his mistress knows nothing about his wives. Not to mention his household was already in a mess. I just inject a suggestion that it would be a good idea to introduce his mistress to his wives. Which for some reason, he already have that line of thinking inside his mind. His wives left him and he killed himself because of depression. Easy."
"How about the trainers?"
"I just make the other slave they trained to go berzerk. The rest was history."
Theo rubbed his own chin, thinking. His serious face turned into an elated face. There was a wicked smile on his face. He stood up. "I have a plan for you Vivi, but I have to check the extent of your power. Try reading my mind."
It was a trick order. In truth, he used his mind magic resistance skill to prevent her from reading any of his thought. He was confident that she wouldn't be able to read his mind.
Vivi rubbed her hand together, corrected her sitting position, and exhaled her breath. She put her hand to the side and stared at him. After a while, she spoke.
"Your mind is very resistant Theo-Sama, I can only get a vague image."
Theo was intrigued. How much did she get from that? "Tell me."
"Princess....es."
Theo clapped his hand. "Very good. I didn't expect you to be able to read my mind like that. Now try reading Lyana."
Theo glanced at Lyana, hoping for her to be agitated by his word. he expected her to try to stop Vivi from reading her mind, but she didn't. She stood there without a pinch of worry. She either has nothing to hide or was confident in her mind magic resistance. Considering how she believed she was controlled by Vivi earlier, the former was more plausible.
Theo returned his gaze toward Vivi, who stare him back with a disappointed look. "Magic, History, and magic. There's nothing inside her mind but magic and history. There might be another thought deep inside, but I'm not able to reach it."
"Hmm." Theo sank deep into his thought again. Lyana had a triumphant look and a smug smile on her face. She was about to gloat to Vivi when Theo opened his eyes.
Suddenly, there was a commotion outside. Theo stood up and looked outside. Soldiers and guards were in a panic. "Lyana. How many days have passed since we first met?"
"Six or Seven. Why?"
Theo put a pouch full of coin on the table. "Get along well with Vivi. I'm going away for a few days. Vivi, follow Lyana's order, that's an order."
He grabbed his adventuring equipment. He rushed outside before Lyana or Vivi could even understand what he said. "Wait, Theo! Where are you going?!"
"Saving the princess!"
