Ready for Dinner

Count Agist woke up in his chair, his entire body was sore since he forgot to take his plate armor off from earlier that day. In front of him he saw Lorraina on her knees staring up at his crotch, her face was healed and full of curiosity.

"What are you looking at?" Count Agist asked while wiping the sleep away from his eyes.

"Huh? Oh, I was trying to figure out what you were hiding in your pants!" Lorraina said, her tail flicked back and forth like a cat getting ready to pounce.

"I'm not hiding..." Count Agist stopped himself when he saw his morning wood trying to burst out of his armor, tenting his pants. "That's a normal thing for men in the morning!"

"Huh, weird... I've never seen that before..."

"Certainly you've slept with a lot of men, how have you not?"

"No no no, I've never slept with any men, just feed on them and if necessary kill them. My sister says I am extremely talented in dream manipulation and am barely passable in all other types of spells. Because of that, I was always told I was worthless growing up."

Count Agist was surprised at how open Lorraina was and asked, "What do you mean dream manipulation?"

Lorraina thought about it for a moment and then said, "Basically, I can give you any dream when you're relaxed, even while you're awake sometimes. I can extract pleasure from dreams to feed, but it isn't that effective and I only do it when I want to not cause a disturbance."

"Does that mean you've fed on people here?"

"Of course not, my sister forbade me from doing so!"

"Why? What does she have to gain by helping me?" Count Agist asked anxiously.

Lorraina looked around as if checking to see if anyone was looking, then crawled towards Count Agist's side and beckoned him to lean closer while cupping one hand over her mouth as if she wanted to whisper to him.

Count Agist bent forward and leaned the side of his head towards Lorraina, he felt her breath against his skin and then he waited for her to speak.

"That's... a secret!" Lorraina said playfully then nipped Count Agist on the ear.

Count Agist jumped back in shock and held his ear.

"Hee hee! I couldn't help myself, you are just so much fun to tease!"

Count Agist glared at Lorraina and said "I shouldn't have expected anything more."

"Awww, don't be like that... we really are here to help!" Lorraina draped herself over Count Agist's shoulders and pouted.

For some reason Lorraina didn't make Count Agist nervous like Lillica did, he didn't trust Lorraina completely, and yet he was not afraid of her.

Count Agist rubbed his forehead as if he was feeling a headache coming on and didn't notice that Lorraina was eyeing his morning wood again and had started reaching out towards it.

"Don't touch that, that belongs to me..." Lillica suddenly said from the bed. Lorraina pulled her hand back and Count Agist just assumed Lillica meant himself.

"I don't belong to you!" Count Agist said angrily.

"I wasn't talking about you sweetie, I was talking about... never mind..." Lillica then sat up in Count Agist's bed and started to climb out of it.

Lorraina got off of Count Agist and walked over to her sister and with a worried look said "Are you ok sis? I was worried about you and I'm sorry for being a burden on you!"

Lillica gently flicked Lorraina's forehead then pulled her close and hugged her. "That was for calling yourself a burden when it was you who saved me..."

Lillica and Lorraina held each other affectionately when a loud gurgling noise came from Count Agist's stomach.

"I'll leave you two then, I forgot to eat anything today among the chaos and it looks to be late!"

As if on queue, knocking came from Count Agist's door followed by a woman's voice. "Milord, are you awake yet?"

"Yes, I shall join you all in the dining hall shortly."

"We shall join you too!" Lillica said loud enough for the maid to hear followed by an enthusiastic cheer from Lorraina.

The maid's face blushed red since she could now believed she understood why the lord has slept so long. "As you wish milord, I shall prepare two places for your mistresses." then the maid scampered off.

Count Agist eyed Lillica wearily and wanted to ask why, but he gave up and instead asked "What do demons even eat?"

Lillica didn't answer directly but instead smiled and licked her upper lip seductively as she looked at Count Agist.

"Actually sweetie, we can eat the same way humans do, it's just that we don't get enough magic from it so we merely use food as a supplement."

"So what if you found a food supply that was rich in magic?"

"We already have... humans..."

Count Agist rolled his eyes "I mean one that isn't humans!"

Lillica sighed "Many demons have tried in the past, but frankly with as fast as humans multiply we have no reason to put forth much effort into it. Now come, let's see what your estate has to eat!"

"Yeah! The last lord I stayed with had some good meat!" Lorraina said happily.

"Why did you leave then?" Count Agist asked puzzled.

"Cause he tasted better..." Lorraina said with a mischievous grin.

Lillica flicked Lorraina on the forehead again causing Lorraina to yelp. "Don't give him the wrong ideas! She means his life energy, or magic, or whatever the humans are calling it now."

"He's dead though, right?" Count Agist said while narrowing his eyes.

"I don't know, he was fine when I left, just a bit tired!" Lorraina said honestly as both Lillica and Count Agist looked at her.

"I'm guessing that has something to do with your dream manipulation you mentioned earlier?"

Lillica looked at Lorraina sternly "You shouldn't speak about your abilities so openly!"

"I know, but you said we need to trust him to help him trust us!" Lorraina countered.

Lillica blinked and then pinched Lorraina's cheek gently "You're right... thank you for reminding me, now what should we wear, you have some dinner wear from past mistresses, right sweetie?"

"I've... I've never had a mistress, the only woman I am familiar with is Isadora... well, and you two."

"Awww, he considers us friends!"

"Just friends sweetie?" Lillica said with a playful smile while winking at Count Agist.

"I never said friends! I said familiar! And do not call me sweetie in front of the others, it will give them the wrong idea!"

"As you wish, my dear Count Agist." Lillica said while giving a polite bow.

"Just... just don't get carried away..." Count Agist said in resignation.

"Surely your father, a Duke, would've kept several mistresses, yes?" Lillica asked.

"Yes, at least until he met my mother, but if he had any outfits left they would be in his study. Unfortunately I'm not able to get into it."

"Why can't you get in the study? Aren't you the lord of the manor?"

"Yes, but I'm not ready to go in to the study yet, at least that is what Simon told me the woman behind the door said."

Lillica walked over to Last Stand and picked it up, she glared at it and Count Agist figured she was talking with Simon.

"Oh, that is interesting!" Lillica said with a smile as she looked over at Count Agist.

"What? What did he say?" Count Agist said excitedly.

"Not enough, but I'll just ask her myself later, come Lorraina, let's go pick out something for dinner."

Lorraina and Lillica held hands then walked towards the direction of the study and faded away. Count Agist shook his head and instead started to undress himself to change into more comfortable wear.

Count Agist hung his plate armor up on the rack, then folded his gambeson and placed it on the dresser next to the armor. He unfastened his plate boots and then kicked them off next to the armor rack. After removing the rest of his undergarments, Count Agist found himself looking at himself in the mirror completely naked.

He trained extremely hard when he had instructors, the scars were still visible although slowly fading over time. He traced his finger over a long scar that ran across his abdomen and remembered the instructor that left that one fondly. He finally remembered his name, Gideon... the man was his last instructor and his harshest. He had left that scar while showing Count Agist that he didn't wield his weapon with enough conviction to kill.

Count Agist started to think about how he could possibly find this man again when Lillica and Lorraina materialized back in his room with clothes draped over their arms.

Lillica and Lorraina walked over to both sides of Count Agist and peered over his shoulders.

"Hey sis, he does look delicious!" Lorraina said

"Indeed, I would love to savor him..." Lillica said teasingly.

Count Agist froze in place when he saw them both looking at his naked body, then pulled out some undergarments from a drawer, pretending as if nothing happened.

"See? He is adorable!" Lillica said triumphantly.

"Agreed!"

Lorraina and Lillica then each kissed one of Count Agist's cheeks and turned around to let him finish getting dressed in peace.
