Subordinates

Shadow, can you tell me something?" Finally calming down Rianna asked while still holding Silver.

"Yeah." He replyes

"You said that I was calling you your last name before, is it really not your first name?" Her voice had no tone. It was just emotionless

"No, its not." Replying he wasnt sure where she was going with this.

"Can you tell me your first name then?" Asking while moveing so she could see his eyes.

"Silver, my full name is Silver Shadow." He told her his full name.

"Silver, just like your eyes." Speaking without any real thoughts while looking at his eyes.

Smileing at her he realized now that his character must of got a diferent eye colore to relate to his choices when he started.

After stareing at his eyes for a period of time she speaks again.

"Silver, can i become your subordinate." Looking at him she says something that he dosnt understand.

"What do you mean?" He asked

"When we join the brotherhood, you have to pick a leader or person to work under. I want to pick you." Explaining to him.

"Why me?" He didnt understand her choice even while understanding the context.

"A subordinate can be asked to do anything and as long as it dosnt go against that person's morals they have to follow it or get a strike and after five strikes you will get hunted down and killed. With you, no matter what you ask me to do, i know I won't need to worry. That's why..." Blushing lightly as she spoke she didn't stop looking at his eyes. "I want it to be you." She finished.

"I understand but what if I'm told to tell you to do something." Hearing about this he becomes worryed.

"It wont work. The contract is very specific and you can only be ordered by the one who sighned it with you but that person cant be forced in any way to order something to someone elts. If that happenes it will cancel both orders and give a strike to the one who tryed to order you first." She tells him about the conditions.

"Ok, I won't force you to do anything though. We will talk it out and I will ask if you want to do it or not." Hearing him she leans in putting her arms around his shoulders so she could hug him again.

"I know, and thats why I want it to be you." Relaxing on him she starts to feel like a weight lifted off her shoulders.

"Silver, can we stay like this?" She asked after a little while.

"Well I'm still cursed so I won't be able to move without pain for another 4 days or so." Telling her so she dosnt try to drag him half across the world.

"That means your all mine for 4 days then?" Seeing a sighn of hope she asked and quickly got off him so she could see his face again.

"Yeah I guess so." Not sure where she was going with those words he replys.

As a smile appears on her face she gently pushes him down on the bed and layed on top of his right side. Interlocking her leg with his and put her right arm on his chest while laying her head on his shoulder.

"Then I want to stay like this." she stated while blushing.

In a playful tone he asks. "Arnt you being forceful?"

"You dont like forceful girls?" She asked while tilting her head to look at his face as she worryed.

"I don't mind them but why change how you act?" He asked with curiosity.

"How should i act then?" She didn't answer but asked him a question instead.

"Just be youself." He answered as if it was something she should already know.

"But if i act like that, then i wont get what i want." She rebuked.

"Why don't you just state what you want then." He replyed is the same way as before.

"I want you." Saying in a small, almost bitter voice she hoped he didnt hear.

"Well I'm yours for 4 days and then you will be mine after you sign the contract with me." Hearing him she became speechless. She just cuddled with him and relaxed with a smile on her face.

They layed like that till he had to log out for dinner.

----------

Eating dinner with his mom and sister was filled with Kana talking about how she had gotten to the capital of Abandoned Kingdom's Online and how big it was. She wondered if she could even make it the whole length of the capital in 6 hours. When Kana asked him about how He was doing and if he figured out his initiation quest he replyed.

"Well I found out the Rianna that saved me was actualy a succubus that I tried to kill and the real Rianna was locked in the basement of the same building. Also something i did apparently." Hearing his reply Kana looked at him with shock.

"Is that a bad thing sweety?" Jasmine asked him after noticing Kane's face.

"Ryan dose that mean she did something to you? After all, succubus are know for... you know." She didnt even want to ask the final part.

Realizing something is up, Jasmine pulls out her phone and looks up what a succubus is as she has never really looked into these things before.

After reading online she also looked at her son awaiting his reply.

Looking at the two he can't believe they actually want to know something like that.

"I would rather not answer that." Blushing a little he looks to his plate. He didnt want to lie to them so keeping his mouth shut would be his only option.

Stareing at her brother she cant believe what she is seeing or hearing. 'Its clear something happened but what.'

"So anyways I learned that I was doing my Intiation quest for the Brotherhood and ended up stumbling upon that succubus and somehow she made me forget that fact or maybe I suppressed the memory, but I couldnt remember in any case." Slightly playing with his food he continued.

"So that means you remember what happened and why you didnt log out for so long?" Asked Jasmine.

"Yes. I did that intentionally as a succubus is dangerous and I wasnt alone on my initiation quest. I had 3 NPC's with me and they don't have more than one life in Abandoned Kingdom's Online like i do. Although only 2 were with me at the time." He explained.

"It might be true you have 1 extra life but if you die after that without donating to the church then you lose that privilege to revive and you will have to start again." Telling him about how reviving works.

"That's ok, I am happy with what I decided so everything works out."

"Why?" She couldn't understand why he was ok with that. Sure it was a game but that didn't mean that the experience wasnt realistic. There was already people who died who felt it was too real and stoped playing or stuck to crafting.

"Because if I didn't then both Rianna and her sister would be dead instead of just one of them." Telling her why with a bitter expression made her speechless.

"So this Rianna, what is she like" Jasmine asked trying to move the conversation forword.

"She is a nice girl, she is in her 20s I think and when we are officially in the Brotherhood she wants to become my subordinate." Replying before taking a bite of his food.

"You keep mentioning the Brotherhood but what kind of place is that." Jasmine asked.

"Its a place that has ruthless leaders and they encourage killing both players and NPC's." Kana answered her mother's question.

"That's awful." Thinking her son will be part of this group she worryed. She looked at her son and he noticed.

"Dont worry I already have a few ideas on how to work around the hierarchy." Although he said this Jasmine still worryed.

The rest of dinner trailed off into clothing when Ryan asked Kana if she has had a chance to start crafting.
