CH 13. Village

After a long trip , the night finally came and Albert and his escort arrived at a small village.

Captain Gareth knocked on the carriage door and informed Albert of the arrival.

" Young Master , we have arrived at a small village and we will take a rest at this village tonight. "

After a few minutes, the door to the carriage opened. Albert came out while pulling his pants with Gwen who has a dishevel hair with a small redness on her cheek.

Captain Gareth seems to notice what is going on but he doesn't seem to mind it much, more like he is even happy to know that Young master doesn't show any disgust toward Gwen as he knows how much of a bad an appearance that Gwen has and many people in the past has show nothing but disgust and unwillingness to associate with her.

Yet for Captain Gareth , he has always treated Gwen just like his own daughter after mentoring her for so long and he became so happy and glad knowing that Young master accepted Gwen without any bias.

" So are we staying the night here ? " Albert said with a little tiredness. He kinda got in the heat of the moment and ended up spending the entire day playing with Gwen's mouth and teaching her this and that while Gwen does everything he teaches her like a dedicated student. Too bad he couldn't do anything further than that as Gwen is currently in full armor so it is dangerous to remove it and put it back on once something happens so we decided to make it do with oral but we didn't encounter any trouble as the Count territory is relatively safe due to his father's policy of exterminating bandit and monster.

Albert noticed a small fence ahead with a man who was currently holding a spear, probably a village guard. Once the village guard saw the noble carriage and the knight, he rushed back into the village. A few moments later, he returned with an elderly man who seemed to be the village chief.

The village chief's face twisted in disgust upon seeing everyone's appearance, but he quickly hid it, knowing that these formidable individuals could easily harm him. However, when he laid eyes on Albert, a sigh of relief escaped him, and surprise filled his eyes. It was evident that he had never seen anyone as handsome as Albert before. His attitude became even more respectful.

"Welcome esteemed noble to this humble village," the village chief greeted, bowing down as he recognized the crest on the carriage.

Albert couldn't help but notice the flicker of disgust on the village chief's face, especially directed towards his escorts, particularly Gwen. It irritated him, but he refrained from acting like a child, understanding the nature of the world they lived in. Nonetheless, Albert decided to teach these people a small lesson.

"We come from the Count Spina house and have decided to rest in this village for the night. Make sure you prepare the best food and accommodation for us," Albert spoke, portraying himself as a spoiled and arrogant noble son, making various demands.

As expected, the village chief grew scared and hurriedly bowed, promising to provide the best available lodging and meals. He led them to a stone house, which was notably better than the rest of the village, mostly consisting of wooden houses.

"This is the best place we have, Sir Noble. We usually reserve it for guests, and I have already arranged for it to be cleaned so that you can rest comfortably," the village chief explained.

"Hmmm... well, whatever. Since we are only staying for tonight, we can endure such a place," Albert responded arrogantly, ordering the village chief to bring him the best food and wine available.

"Yes, my Lord," the village chief hurriedly bowed and walked away.

After the village chief departed, Captain Gareth spoke up, "Young Master, we don't really need them to provide us with food. Count Spina has already prepared everything inside the space pouch, including food and water."

Albert replied nonchalantly, "Hmph, they need to be punished for showing disgust towards all of you."

Upon hearing Albert's response, the four individuals froze momentarily, deeply moved by their Young Master's unexpected consideration. They felt a sense of appreciation and gratitude.

Once everyone settled down and parked the carriage, they entered the house to inspect it. The interior was quite simple, with only a table, a few wooden couches, and a room and bathroom at the back.

"I will sleep on the couch along with Lance and Luke. The young master can stay in the room alongside Gwen," Captain Gareth suggested with a knowing smile.

"Ahem, it seems like that is the best arrangement," Albert tried to maintain a serious demeanor, but a creepy, lewd smile leaked onto his face.

Lance smiled, pleased that his sister had the opportunity to serve his benefactor's son, particularly as a Gifter who could nurture her body. Gwen, too, felt happiness knowing that Albert genuinely liked her without any trace of disgust in his eyes or actions. His passionate gaze had awakened a newfound desire within her, and she became even more determined to serve her Young Master to the best of her ability.

After a few hours, nightfall arrived, and the village chief arrived with a few men and women, carrying food and wine.

"Sir Noble, this has been cooked by the best chef in our village. I hope it will satisfy you," the village chief bowed and gestured to the people behind him to bring in the food and place it on the table. Alongside him stood a group of young women, dressed beautifully and bowing respectfully.

"And these are the most beautiful women we have. If it pleases you, they can attend to your needs and serve you," the village chief eagerly introduced the women by his side. They appeared to be in their teens and exuded an air of confidence. The village chief was well aware of the potential benefits that could come from a noble child being born in their village, particularly if that child inherited their father's talents and potential, as noble children often did. Moreover, he knew that Albert was the only son of Count Spina, being a Gifter, held great prominence. If someone from their village could become a Gifter, it would bring numerous benefits. These women also understood this and desired not only to bear children with strong talents but also to become mistresses of noble households in one fell swoop. They were confident in their looks and bodies, having always been praised as the most beautiful women in the village.

Excitement and eagerness filled their actions as they failed to notice Albert's strained smile and twitching eyelid as he observed the beautiful women in front of him.
