Chapter 22: The Bet of a Maid

Chapter 22: The Bet of a Maid

I wake up. It’s been only an hour at most since I fucked this beautiful woman sharing a bed with me. I don’t actually need to sleep after having climaxed that much, I just choose to sleep. As the sun is going up Monica is too.

“Good morning madam, is everything alright or do you need some healing?”

She jumps out of the bed in a panic.

“What happened? Why is everything clean? Why am I clean? Why…” She starts to ask rapidly.

“Slow down. First we fucked. Second I cleaned everything with a spell, including you, mostly. You passed out at some point so I just continued without you.”

“You…” She says in a scary tone.

Monica removes the sheets covering me in the bed and put me in her lap and start to spank my ass for some reason.

“You deserve punishment, that’s not how a lady should act.” She says in a serious tone while spanking me.

“YEAH! YEAH! I have been a bad girl. Hit me mommy, punish my ass.” I say in a joke-sexy tone.

She stops after hearing that and we just sit in front of each other for a few seconds.

“You are not a normal girl.” Monica says to me in a concerned voice.

“What gave it away? The dick or my technique?”

She was about to say something but stop and start to say something else.

“Lady Lucia, I don’t know about your circumstances but I expect you to do the best you can to hold your part of the deal.”

“Don’t worry, I am not an evil bad person.”

“I also ask that you understand that I need to rest during the night, as unlike you who is somehow full of energy, I need the energy during the day.”

“About that I don’t think I will need an entire night again for a long time, probably just an hour will do going forward.”

“I hope so.”

She then dresses up again and goes to her room. I spend a few minutes in bed before going to the toilet and coming down to see what is happening there.

“Good Morning…” Sophia says to me in a slightly embarrassed tone from the dinner table

“Good morning. What do we have for breakfast?” I say while sitting along with her.

“What would you like, miss?” The other maid asks me.

“Milk and bread.”

“I will pick those, wait a moment.” The maid says as she leaves.

“I didn’t expect you to still drink milk.” Sophia says to me, surprised.

“Why? It is tasty as good for your bones.”

“What do you mean?”

“Milk helps your bones get stronger. There are other things like some vegetables that do a better job at that but I never found any of them.”

“How can you be so sure of that?”

“Experience.” I had experience with that. I never broke a bone in my old life and besides milk I never consumed anything with a significant amount of calcium and some other things that help bone density. Even some of the doctors that looked at me were surprised by the amount of punishment my bones could take and not break in my old life.

The maid then gives me a jug of milk along with a small cup and puts a basket of bread so that both me and Sophia could eat.

As we are eating I start to question Sophia.

“So, how will we work this out? Are you going to teach me in the morning, the evening?”

“That I don’t know, for now you should just read some books and ask me if you have any questions. I separated some books for you, they are in my office. Anything else?”

“How did you get this strong? I can feel you holding yourself back. I think my time in that forest made me aware of other things power and let me tell you, you are crazy strong.”

“Thanks I guess. I just trained and fought. Why do you ask?”

“I need to get as strong as I can in the shortest amount of time possible.”

“That isn’t a healthy way to live, to sacrifice everything for power.”

“Who said I would do that? I want to live my life but get stronger, just that.”

“Why?”

“So I can destroy the church for now.”

“You really hate the church.”

“What kind of organization has the right to sentence a kid who doesn’t even know what is happening to death? I still don’t have any idea why I was banished from the Maka Kingdom besides existing.”

“Are you sure you should be telling me this?”

“Why not. It’s not like you are going to do anything to me, you may be stronger than me but I will not go down without a fight and I can guarantee that this city will not survive the battle.”

“You should start to trust people a little more.”

“No, fuck them. Until they prove they are useful they are either ignored or dealt with if they stand in my way.”

“I pity you.”

“You can do whatever you want if you can.”

“... The books are on the sofa, I have work to do.” Sophia says while leaving the table.

I finish eating my breakfast and go to the backyard to do my morning training. Up to until now exercising was done just by existing as I had to walk everywhere and hunt, now I probably have to maintain my body to a degree.

I do some basic swing exercises with all my swords and then some balance exercises where I try to not fall on the ground while putting my weight on different sides of my body. I wasn’t really able to continue to train my dancing style so I am back to the basics a little to get the feeling again. Music would help but I doubt there is a bard or anything like that in this city at this hour.

After cleaning my sweat with a heat wave I enter the mansion again and go to the office to pick some books. Sophia is checking some documents and looks like she is about to leave so I stay in silence and begin to read one of them on the sofa.

The first book on the pile was a recent history book on the Cruxadia Kingdom. It is really long, around 3000 pages so it will probably take a few days to read. I begin immediately.

The next 3 days were used to read this entire book only stopping to take care of my needs and training.

Monica wasn’t able to work to her full potential the day after our first night together but after that as I only needed her for an hour she could actually sleep. She could also maintain her stone cold facade since it will probably take a few hours for her to break again like before.

The other maid is avoiding me like the plague, I don’t even know her name and no one is telling me since she doesn’t want me to know.

Sophia comes and goes from time to time, I have no idea what exactly she does but I guess i will find out later.

The book was helpful. The Cruxadia Kingdom has a rich story and they are somewhat okay with telling the part of history that most people would just erase if they were in power.

The kingdom is around 700 years old and the Capital is Cruxadia, a city named after two warriors, probably a couple, that defended the city and castle as it was being constructed against a horde of demons. The city was just a city at the time but that battle spawned the kingdom when the leader of an army seeing those two fighting, took arms, rallied troops and repelled the invasion. The name of this first king was lost to history since he was just a commoner before and became a king due to the request of people. In fact the first few kings and queens have no name registry as the city and the kingdom had other problems.

After a few decades of fighting against the horde of demons and lot’s of changes in the court, the first named King and Queen were crowned, King Feros Cruxadia and Queen Stella Cruxadia. The name Cruxadia became the name of the royal family at this point as a way to show everyone that the king, the city and the people were only one thing as described by the book.

After that it’s just boring history. The kingdom engaged in some wars for resources, land, and people. Most of the cities that are far away from the capital were captured from other small kingdoms or taken from demons if they are from the north. There are a lot of cities but the only ones worth of attention at this moment is this town that is named Sagrada, the Capital, Black Waren the city that makes frontier with the demon territory in the north and Azure the port town to the west.

Starting with this town, it was constructed about 100 years ago. The wall that is around the city was made in a single day with the use of magic so the size of this city was decided before there were even people to live here. This city is the closest city to the Sure-Death Forest and it says it was made for another reason that only the people that actually constructed the first houses and helped with the wall know. Near Sagrada there are a lot of farming towns so this city doesn’t have any farms near it.

The next one is Azure, the greatest port town of this kingdom. It was taken from pirates around 500 years ago. The sea near the city is a dark blue going by information in that book. Usually the sea is supposed to be a light blue or light green but it isn’t like that near the city. There are other small port and fishing towns along the west coast but azure is a commerce hub. Any other country trying to enter this kingdom has to go there, this does not apply if you are a private citizen. The sea dragon is said to live near that city so fishing there is forbidden as a precaution. Besides that the city is a big market with lots of embassies.

Black Warren was captured around 70 years ago. It is a city that is covered in snow as it is as far north as it can. Looks like the demon territory is the entire north pole going by the maps. I wonder how they survive up there. The city is not really a city, it’s more like a giant fortress that people can live in. Mostly soldiers and adventurers live there as besides demons, a lot of strong monsters also nest around there. Living in that city is being constantly in war as the demons make periodic sieges to the city.

Lastly the capital. The book says that the city will reach 1 million habitants in a few years, this book was made 5 years ago so I would not be surprised if it’s already in that number, there were around 900.000 when this book was printed. The capital is big and has no slums which is a surprise to me. Community houses are always being constructed since the city was founded, laws about that changed with time but the current citation is that as long as the people living in those houses inform the kingdom about their stay, pay a little tax monthly, maintain the place habitable and try to earn a living to not have to live there you can stay. Another policy that is used to maintain some order around the city is that if the crime rate goes up a certain amount everyone will be kicked out until it is resolved. Doing illegal stuff in these houses will also mean prison to anyone living there or near there if it is found out they knew. There is not much about other laws here, just a description of parts of the city. The entertainment district with theaters, pubs, casinos and an arena. The Red-Light district made for adult fun. The Royal district that is the area around the castle and is really high class with bigger and fancier constructions. There are a lot of residential districts and an army district not worthy of notice.

If you come across this story on Amazon, it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.

Reading this book there were lots of names of important people, but of all people I didn’t expect to find Sophia’s name here. Her Full name is Sophia Maxilia Cruxadia. She is part of the royal family, a distant part of it, but part of it. Around 7 years ago a group from the fallen kingdom tried to start a war with cruxadia and caused a monster break near the capital. Along with the King, Zigmund Cruxadia and the Queen Nadja Cruxadia and a group of elite knights whose names were not cited , they were the major players in winning this conflict. I guess that she got those scars here.

After finishing my book it’s already dinner time, Sophia is there and Monica is preparing dinner.

“I didn’t know you were royalty.” I say to Sophia.

“Because I am not, I only have the name.” She says annoyed.

“Ok, I will not touch this again. But I have another question. Do you know why this city was made?”

“No, I think Monica is the only one who may actually know but she doesn't tell anyone.”

“She must be really smart to have that figured out.”

“Nah, she is just old.” Sophia says joking.

“Lady Sophia, please refrain from talking about my age in front of others.” She says in a serious tone.

“Why?” I ask.

“I am a special case that should not be made public.”

“So you have more than 500 years huh? You look great, I hope I stay as beautiful as you when I reach that age.” I say with a smirk in my face as I half-joke about this.

She just looks at me in shock as if I hitted the bullseye.

“I was joking about the age but if it is true I can see why, I will refrain from referencing this in the future.”

“I would appreciate that.” She says, confirming what I said.

Monica then puts the food on the table and starts to eat with us.

“Sophia, is there anything in particular I should be learning by reading those books?” I ask.

“Like what?”

“You said I would have to learn manners and politics, what exactly about those I should be looking for?”

“Learn your place. As of right you are my cousin, so you are just part of a small family in charge of a small city.”

“I wish you could clarify what exactly you need me here, it’s kinda hard to be mentaly prepared for something you know nothing about.”

She sighs.

“The command of this town is given to my family, so if the head of the family dies the next in line becomes the responsible, I am now the head of the family so I need a successor in place or the Crown will give it to someone else.”

“I hope you understand that I don’t care about this city, the second this deal doesn’t help me I am gone.”

“This is just temporary, my true successor will be chosen at a later date.”

“You could already have one if you had some confidence.” Monica interjects.

“What do you mean?” I ask.

“Nothing, she means nothing!” Sophia says a little angry.

“Anyway, you still didn’t answer what I have to do.”

“Sorry, you will need to pass a test in the presence of the King and the Queen as well some officials.”

“And I guess there might be people of the church there.”

“You know, the church here might not have anything against you.”

“If it is the same church from the Maka Kingdom I don’t care.”

She sighs again.

“Ok… Just in case I will have some counter measures in place on the day. Just so you know your test will be about everything you need to know to take care of a city this size.”

“Did you have to take this test?”

“No, I earned this position when my dad died, as I was his only successor I was deemed worthy of the position at the time.”

“I guess that’s why this city is in this state.”

“What do you mean?” She asks a little louder, clearly insulted.

“People only live here, they don’t prosper here. I almost don’t go outside because I know there is nothing to do. I can’t drink at bars so there is no entertainment for me here. There is no adventurer’s guild here so that means no way to earn money fighting or doing odd jobs. This city doesn’t even have farms so I guess everyone who doesn’t work in a shop but has to work has to go ways always to the other cities near here to work in their fields. The commerce here doesn’t seem to be that good either as there is no reason to come here and we probably only have a local market due to necessity.”

“And what do you expect to be done?”

“Nothing, I don’t give shit. All I care about is food, shelter, water and women. Unless those things don’t let me have one of these four things it’s not my problem, it is yours.”

“You say that like I am not trying to make this city better.”

“How many people live in this city?”

“Around 15000.”

“How many of those actually can survive using only what is available in this city?”

“I don’t know, half of it probably.”

“The answer is 0.”

“What?”

“You have no source of food here, if the other cities cut us off we won’t have any food.”

“They won’t do that.”

“People also won’t kill children am I right?” I say sarcastically.

She stays in silence, I didn’t even want to argue with her, but I won this one.

An hour later I am with Monica in my room for our daily sex session.

“I always thought you were just some strange girl who was pure fighting and lust.” Monica says to me while naked in my bed with her legs spread as I fuck her.

“And I would like a little emotion from you.” I say while trusting her.

“Any boy your age in your place would be more than grateful.” She says smirking.

“Look, I am not doing this just because it’s good, I have to.”

“Yes, sure, I heard that before.”

I stop.

“Ok, then let’s make a bet. I will hold myself as long as I can but you have to deal with the aftermath.”

“And what would this bet entail?”

“You are saying that I don’t actually need to pleasure myself right? Then if nothing bad happens let’s say in the next month you win. If something happens I win. And before you say anything, I will not do something stupid just to win, Sophia is way stronger than me for me to do anything bad here.”

“And what would I gain with this besides not being used by you?”

“If you win I become yours, you can do whatever you want with me until I finish my job here. But if I win you will have to at least look like you are enjoying what we are doing when I bed you.”

“I will enjoy my prize.” She says with a sadistic face.

“I hope you don’t regret this later.”

“I won’t, there is no way you are telling the truth.”

After that we both got some clothes and took a bath. I will hold myself from even masturbating as long as I can and let’s see what will happen.

--//--

It’s been two weeks, I am going crazy, I almost assault the other maid. I had to hit my head against a wall to not do anything stupid.

On these last few days I am doing a lot of exercise. I am running around the city non stop just so my body gets tired. I also read while running. I circulated the walls of the city so much that people are starting to come and watch me. I don’t have time to address their existence as one of them may be a beautiful woman.

--//--

It’s been another week. I haven’t slept for the last 5 days. Even Sophia is getting worried about me. I actually fought her today, she defeated me soundly but I healed myself and I am now swinging my swords while shouting to see if I can endure myself a little long. I am ok with losing this bet, I am actually trying to lose in fact, but it’s been hard to hold myself. My desires are not piling up, they are getting interest.

--//--

There is only one day left for the bet. I am currently in my bed biting myself and trying my best to hold myself back. I can’t hear what people are saying anymore and it looks like everyone left the house. I spend the entire day in a pit of despair using all of my will to not leave this room.

“If I leave, people will die. If I leave I will die.”

“ “ Mira says to me.

“SHUT UP MIRA, IF YOU NOT GOING TO HELP SHUT UP!” I shout to her.

“ “ Yin and Yang say to me.

“So innocent, one day you will be gangbanged and I will love to watch.”

“ “ they all say to me.

“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!”

--//--

At some point morning comes and I see the door opening.

“I win.” Monica says with a smug face.

The next thing I know everything is black.

I wake up somewhere I don’t recognize. The place is almost empty with only a bed here. Around me there are a few women, 6 to be exactly, one of them being Monica.

I look around to see if I find anything but clothes are not something to be found here. Only my weapons.

“Hey! Wake up.” I shout while looking around.

My semen is everywhere, and with everywhere I mean everywhere, walls, ceiling, their bodies, my body, the door, the windows.

I use my magic to at least clean the place.

The door and windows are locked and there is no one outside I can see.

After a few more minutes of shouting and moving their bodies they wake up.

“By the gods, it’s over.” Monica says to me.

All the other women are in panic seeing me, so much they freeze.

“Care to explain what happened.” I say.

“I should be asking the same.”

“I didn’t take care of my needs. Now what did I do?”

“It would be easier to tell what you didn’t do.”

I sit down on the ground with my hand in my face.

“I don’t see water or food here. Don’t the ladies here need to go?”

All of them are quite beautiful, no one of them seem older than 25, all with great bodies, all colors and shapes.

“They will be taken care of, let me inform the guards.”

She then uses a spell to open the door and shouts to someone.

A few minutes later Sophia and a group of women from the city enter the place with food, water and clothes.

The women are quickly escorted out leaving only me, Sophia and Monica there.

“You have some explaining to do, miss.” Sophia says to me, angrily.

“I have no recollection of the events that happened before Monica returned to the house and none of this is my fault.”

“It is!” She shouts at me.

“No, it’s Monica, she said she would take care of anything that happened due to our bet so if anything happened it is her fault.”

“Is it true?”

“Yes my lady, sadly.” Monica answers a little embarrassed.

“If you were anyone else I would kill you right now Monica.” Sophia says more angrily.

“My actions caused problems and I will work to correct them with all my power.” She says while bowing her head.

“Can someone tell me what happened? I need to know how much the people fear me now.”

“You tell her, I have stuff to do now. I will be waiting in the mansion.” Sophia says while leaving.

We sit on the bed and she starts to explain with minimal details what happened.

“First you raped me for around half a day not stopping even in front of Lady Sophia.”

“That must have been an experience to her as she is too pure for this world.” I say joking.

“You can say that.”

“Continue please.”

“After that the other maid had the bad luck of entering the house again and you had to fight lady Sophia as she protected the young woman.”

“Did I win?”

“In a sense, yes. You managed to hold your own against her when your hair changed color and you ablazed yourself. After that you went to the city where you started to hunt down attractive women.”

“To be clear, I have no memory of any of that.”

“Continuing, you almost killed lots of men trying to protect their wives, daughters, friends, etc… from you but most of the time it was all in vain. The best we could do was to chase you out a little before you jumped on someone else. After that we guided you to this place where we started to pay any woman who laid in bed with you. I put a spell where only I could open this place as long as I stayed here. In between you traumatizing the women here I would change them so you never had the need to hunt more.”

“How long did that go for?”

“We are here for about a month.”

“...”

I am in shock, not in my wildest dream I would have fucked for a month straight.

“I have to say, I am impressed, the most healthy of men I knew couldn't hold a day without the need of magic but you managed an entire month.”

“Thanks I guess.”

“If you are going down this path you should learn on how to please a woman as you are more a man than a woman.”

“Let me tell you something, I will not treat you like a special person just because we are having sex. I said before and I will say it now. I need to do this, I don’t want to do this, at least not the way I am now. I had… Have someone I love very much, if possible I would be with this person but I can’t, so unless you want to spend your entire life by my side I don’t care about you.”

“I am sorry about that. I am also cancelling our bet as I had an unfair advantage. I should not have made people leave the mansion, that is not something that would normally happen. If I didn’t you would have snapped a few days before.”

“Ok, it’s not like that matters anymore. I probably gave quite the show to the people.”

“Yes you did.”

After that we leave the house and I begin my walk of shame to the mansion.
