Chapter 5 - Dinner and r-18.

One hour to 7 pm, I started to get ready. Obviously, I chose my best outfit for the occasion. After everything was ready, I left the dormitory and went to the place where the nobles leave the carriages. Being the son of a duke, I have my own, it's not as luxurious as the other members of the family. But, it's better than walking.

After leaving the academy in the carriage, we started to walk through the streets of the imperial capital. The main streets were well lit, giving people a sense of security, unlike the peripheral regions. The population of the empire after the unification of the three races grew uncontrollably due to the migratory flow.

Before, only a few people came to the capital to try to change their lives. With the emergence of the white faction, the imperial capital began to receive people of the three races. As there was no place for everyone in the noblest regions of the capital, they were forced to live in the peripheral regions. As a consequence, crime in the empire also increased.

It's not the empress' fault, this is a difficult problem to solve, one of the many problems people generate.

After getting lost in thought, I finally arrived at the palace. When getting out of the carriage, I come across a beautiful building, it's the first time I've come to the Empress's palace. Before, I only saw the palace of the imperial academy. I've never been to any of the empress's parties, although the Blady family is always invited.

I went up the stairs of the palace and stopped in front of the entrance that was being watched by two guards, and next to one of them was a woman in knight's armor.

[Eyes of the Lord]

Name: Elizabeth

Age: 31 years.

Profession: Knight.

Magic power: ??? (You're still too weak to see her magic power)

As I imagined, that woman is Elizabeth, the empress's right-hand man. She is one of the ten strongest people in the empire, behind the head of the imperial academy, the empress herself, and the four dukes. After the empress died, Elizabeth disappeared from the map, no one could find her.

Seeing me, Elizabeth walked towards me.

"You must be Luke Blady, right?"

"Yes. And you are Elizabeth?"

"Exactly. I'm honored that you meet me." she made a small bow without showing emotion.

Seeing Elizabeth up close, she is also an incredible beauty. She has brown eyes that show confidence, rosy lips, a round fluffy face, and brown hair. Elizabeth wears her hair in a ponytail, enhancing her appearance. Obviously, possessing such beauty, many nobles asked her to marry him. However, she always turned them all down.

She was once asked what the requirements were for dating her. The answer was: a man strong enough to defeat me in a duel. That is, reaching her hand is impossible for virtually all nobles. Perhaps, the director of the academy can accomplish such a feat.

"Come on, the empress is waiting."

"OK."

Elizabeth motioned for the guards to open the palace door, and began to walk. As she passed, the guards bowed to her in respect. Upon entering the palace, I come across a luxurious hallway, with chandeliers hanging from the ceiling and various decorations. On the walls hung pictures of ancient emperors.

After a long hallway, we arrived at the throne room. Obviously, the woman seated in the plush was the empress. Empress Margaret is also a beautiful woman, with long black hair and vine-colored eyes. In addition, she exudes a powerful aura, worthy of a leader of a nation.

Before such a figure, I knelt down. Elizabeth walked and stood beside the empress as her bodyguard.

"Your Majesty." I, the length.

"Luke Blady." margaret said my name.

"Yea?"

"The Blady family trash, that's what you were known as. However, you came first today in the opening ceremony and won a duel against a promising opponent."

"With all due respect, your majesty. Tell me what you want?"

"Hohoho... I want to know the truth. How did you get to rank B so fast? I want you to answer me looking me in the eye."

This was something I had in mind. Raising my magic power quickly aroused suspicion.

As I lifted my head and into the empress's eyes, an enormous pressure surged through my body. Empress Margaret unleashed her magical power into the throne room, making it feel like the world was on my back. A normal person would succumb to such pressure.

"I.... I hid my magic power."

I gave the same excuse I gave my father. That excuse is something I can make true. If I show her that I can hide my power from everyone, what will she do in the face of such proof?

"Hidden your magic power? Check it out?"

Just like I did when I was in my father's presence, I hid most of my magic power, becoming an E-rank.

"Look, your magic power has drastically decreased. How do you do that?"

The empress diminished her power and the pressure went away. I decided to be honest with the empress, and I told the truth, unlike what I did with my father.

"I only move my magic power from my core to the heart. When a person analyzes the magic power of another, they analyze the amount of power stored in the core. By sending the power to my heart, it is camouflaged."

"Look, you're telling the truth. You're amazing for being able to manipulate your power like that."

"Thanks."

"I don't want to know the reasons why you decided to hide your power. The only thing I want to know is: do you intend to harm the empire?"

"Pardon?"

"You've demonstrated an incredibly powerful sword technique being a B Rank, I don't know what other techniques you have. Obviously, you're going to want to get stronger, becoming a threat one day. So, I want to know if you intend to harm the empire one day?"

She's looking me in the eye and analyzing my behavior. As an empress, she knows when a person is lying.

"No."

Obviously, it's a lie. I intend to destroy the Blady family and the hero Arthur, and that will have consequences for the empire. But I can't tell her that. Fortunately, I'm not a boy, I'm a man who's lived at the top and knows how to trick people.

"Right. I believe you. After clearing up my doubts, let's get to the reason I called you here. Luke Blady, become my vassal."

"Pardon?"

[Quest: accept the empress' proposal.

Time: 5 minutes.

Reward: 20 stat points.]

"You have become a variable that can influence the balance of the ducal houses. It would be much easier to make you my vassal and increase my strength than it would be to strengthen the Blady family and cause me problems in the future."

I immediately understood her goals. Margaret fears a coup d'état, one of the reasons my father didn't accept the hero Arthur as the new emperor is because he coveted the throne. If I grow stronger over time and stand by my father's side, the power of the Blady family will surpass those of the other dukes.

As my father covets the throne, he could easily convince the nobles who are against the current empire and start a civil war against the empress. To prevent such a scenario, Margaret intends to bind me to her side and increase her strength, consequently increasing her hold over the nobles.

That's the level of threat I pose for having surpassed the hero Arthur. Now the nobles think I'm on his level or a little superior. But, I will never be valued like him, after all, he is the hero chosen by the God of light.

"With all due respect, your majesty, what's in it for me?" I decided to make myself a little difficult.

"Just like I did with Elizabeth, I'm willing to share my control of power, access to the palace library and other benefits that only I can give. If you're going to stand by me, I want you to have enough power."

This proposal is more than tempting, to have the power of the royal family, the power of fire. I would be one of only three people in the entire empire to wield that kind of power. In addition, I will have access to the library's imperial secrets.

"But your majesty, aren't you afraid that I betrayed you?"

"Don't worry, first of all, we'll sign a servitude contract."

A servitude contract is different from a slave contract. The slave contract is unilateral, only the master benefits. The servitude contract is an exchange, in this situation, the empress will give some benefits in exchange for my services.

"If so, it will be an honor to serve your majesty."

[Mission complete

Open reward?]

I saw the notification.

"Fufu... Elizabeth. Go get the contract, we'll sign it over dinner."

Following the Empress' orders, Elizabeth quietly leaves the throne room. The empress ascends from the throne.

"Come on, follow me."

I get up and follow the empress into the dining room, where there is a table laden with food prepared by the palace chiefs. The empress sat in the main chair and I sat in the seat next to her.

"Coof... Coof... Coof."

Suddenly, the empress began to cough. Despite her good looks, she is sick. I remember they tried to cure it, but it's a very rare disease that affects vital energy. You can only heal by receiving life energy from someone else with sharing your own. However, no one would want to share something that could cost them their life.

"Are you okay?"

"Oh yeah. I've started coughing recently, but it's no big deal."

"If you say."

[Eyes of the Lord]

Name: Margaret

Age: 33 years.

Profession: Fire Mage.

Magic power: ???

I can't see her condition with the lord's eyes, but at least I can see her age. She is a little older than Elizabeth. I decided to leave this situation for the near future, now that I will become her vassal, I will be able to get closer and avoid her death.

Over dinner, I talked to the empress as if it were a normal occasion, until Elizabeth came in with the contract in hand. The empress and I put our blood on paper and sealed the contract. A mark appeared on my hand as evidence.

This contract consists of total loyalty.

"Right. You're still not strong enough to stand by my side. That's why you're going to train with Elizabeth during the time you don't have class at the gym."

"I was going to ask if you weren't going to be in danger. But I remembered who I'm talking to."

"Fufu... I'll give you a key that will allow you to enter the palace library."

"Right. How long will the training last?"

"Until I think you're ready."

"OK."

After the empress imposed some conditions, we finished dinner. In the end, I said goodbye to them both and returned to the dorm late at night. Upon entering, I notice that someone is using the bathroom. I open the door slowly and find Marceline cleaning herself.

"Marceline."

"Ah, young master. Have I finished what you asked of me?"

"What?"

"After you told me to kill that nobleman, I started following him. Today he spent the day in a bar drinking and went out at night. I took this opportunity to eliminate him."

"Did you get rid of the body?"

"No, he was so drunk he let me take him down an alley. After that, I faked a robbery. I killed him and stole all of his belongings."

"Good job. I think you deserve a reward. How about trying out the new bed?"

"Hehe... Come on, young master."

Marceline jumped into my arms naked. I carried her to the bed and laid her on it, then started to undress. After getting naked, Marceline approached me and started giving me a blowjob. Running his tongue over the glans, then pushing it into his mouth. With my cock in her mouth, Marceline began to swirl her tongue around the glans.

"Very cool."

Marceline's head bounced back and forth, picking up pace as time passed. I started running my hand through my hair. I felt my cock start to tingle, and I sank my cock into her mouth, then unloaded my cum. In the end, I took my cock out of Marceline's mouth, who swallowed my cum.

"Get on all fours."

Marceline positioned herself in front of my hip, seeing Marceline's smothered ass and her pussy waiting for me, I lined up my cock at the entrance and pushed forward. My cock dipped into the soft flesh of Marceline's vagina and hit the sweet spot of her pussy.

I don't need to use any of my skills on Marceline, after several times having sex, I know her body.

I started moving my hips, causing my crotch to hit Marceline's wet pussy. Thanks to that, my cock slid easily inside her. The soft, moist flesh of Marceline's pussy was getting tighter with every movement, and that tension created an even better feeling in my cock.

"Aah ha."

Sweet moans escaped Marceline's mouth, filling the room. I grabbed both Marceline's arms and started moving faster, consequently Marceline's moans increased. Sweat started to trickle down my body with the constant movement.

"Aah young master."

I released Marceline, who was lying with her breasts on the bed, and climbed on top of her. My cock re-entered her pussy, sliding along the walls of flesh. Once again, I started to move, moving my hips back and forth at a frantic pace. Marceline, feeling her cervix being pressed, let out several sweet moans.

I continued to hit the spot that gives Marceline the most pleasure, until, suddenly, she reached orgasm. A wave of pleasure coursed through her body, making her moan loudly.

"Ahahah."

"Marceline, ride me."

Marceline, who, at my request, was on top. She lined my cock at the entrance of her pussy and moved her hips down, wasting no time, she started to ride, rocking her ass up and down. Pleasure took over my glans, making a shiver run through my body.

Seeing Marceline's beautiful breasts sway, I sank my hands into them. So let's play with Marceline's pink nipples. I see Marceline's expression of pleasure, and a smile forms on my lips.

I feel my penis start to tingle, I was about to come. Grab Marceline's hips and press them down against my crotch, sinking my cock inside her. Then watch my semen come out, filling her vagina.

Marceline got off me and lay down on my side.

"I'm going to clean up."

I got out of bed and went to the bathroom. During the shower, I remembered the reward I received from the quest today. Upon opening it, I received 20 stat points.

Name: Luke Blady.

Age: 18 years.

Profession: Legendary swordsman.

Title: Reincarnated, Antagonist, Demon of Lust.

Attack: 115 -> 120

Resistance: 129 -> 134

Agility: 120 -> 130

Intelligence: 250

Magic Power: Rank b-

Of the 20 points I received, I applied five in strength, five in endurance and ten in agility. After that, just as the system said, an enormous pain coursed through my body. The pain lasted five minutes and in the end, I ended up vomiting.

I left the bathroom and found Marceline sleeping on the bed. I lay down next to her to sleep too.

Tomorrow the day will be full.
