Chapter 14: The Tournament For Power- Part 1
⚠️Warning 18+ scene⚠️
Kuro stirred as he felt someone poking his cheek. He gorgily woke up as he sat up, his eyes widened to see his lady snuggling against his chest.
"Um shiori-sama? What are you doing?" He questions looking bewildered.
"You've been such a good boy, I thought I'd give you a little reward" she smirked as she caress his cheek. Eyes practically stripping him to the bone.
He leans into her touch as his thoughts ran wild. he was finally getting some attention from his master.
"And what kind of reward do you have in mind, my lady?" He grinned, hoping for the best.
She leaned closer, pressing herself against him before whispering into his ear huskily.
"What do you think?" She grinned mischievously. licking the shell of his ear. he shuddered, his face flushed a delicate pink.
Here he was about to make his greatest desire come true with the person if his fantasies.
"I'm not sure what you mean, shiori-sama" he feigned innocent, trying to enjoy the moment.
"Oh I'm sure you do" she trailed her tongue over his neck teasingly, grinning on his skin as he squirmed with flushed cheeks.
Grazing her hand over is nightshirt. she unbuttoned each button with ease, exposing more skin to salvage.
He panted with anticipation as his arousal only grew more for his master.
He groaned as he felt a hand caressing up his clothed inner thigh, trailing up to his family jewels.
"Tell me want you want..." She spoke seductively, teasing the bulge that was already pulsing with need.
"I ... I want you...!" He admitted groaning.
"As you wish..." She unzips his pants, staring at the affect she had on him as he watched her intently.
She licked her lips, staring hungrily at his Cock. Leaning her head down.
⚠️End of smut here⚠️
Kuro woke up with a start, scolding himself for such lewd thoughts. he looked around him.
Haruna was sleeping peacefully as well as his master, her flushed skin glowed under the moonlight.
She Must have been studying up on magic. He thought before lifting the covers to see his situation.
He frowned, sighing as he stared at his erection. His turned to looked his master's sleeping figure, memorizing every curve and feature before getting out of bed and headed to the bathroom.
He was thrilled that his master trusted him enough to share the same bed as her but he didn't trust himself to keeping his naughty hands from wandering.
She was everything to him and more. He was once a summoned slave, forced to destroy everything in his way. Endured so much from that despicable cult and more....
But now he was free to choose his own path in life. even though she was his master, despite his soul being at her mercy, she never treated him like a liability, heard out his opinions, respected his choices, never ever forced him to submission, although the thought itself would honestly turn him on.
She was his savior, his light, his entertainment, his first love, and most important,.... His master.
He sat on the latrine, entertaining himself to get some kind of stimulation. He closed his eyes fantasizing...
he imagined it was his master touching him, his savior giving him service.
"Ahhh~! Shiori-sama~!" He mused with an aroused expression. Cheeks flushed, hair messy as he reached his peak.
If only, his dream could come true.
He came out of the bathroom surprised to see his master awake, sitting on the bed as her scrolled on her strange device. he had seen it with her on several occasions, but when he asked what it was, she simply said a special device that only her and her brother could use.
Now that he thought about it, there were many strange things his master possessed, for example the unique knowledge she had, greatly improving and developing their kingdom much faster than any regular demi human should have. Even the most developed kingdoms seem to be lacking compared to what she'd had planned.
her style in fashion is completely out of the ordinary, not to mention her high intellect.
Just who are you, shiori-sama?
Shiori's pov
I sat on the bed scrolling through my phone, apparently the infamous team {blank} had disappeared.
I felt a stare, turning to kuro who had came out of the bathroom. I acknowledge his presence before staring back at my phone.
Just then there was a knock at the door. I got up slightly pissed as I opened it.
"Look, I had paid for this room, so what do you want--?" I stared at the person in front of me.
The prince? What does he want?
He wasn't wearing his fancy noble clothes anymore, just a basic white inner shirt with a plain black coat and pants.
Upon closer inspection I noticed he had elf ears? I half expected him to explain himself but He just kept staring away, like he was embarrassed.
"Um, may...may I come in?" He asked, his quiet voice not above whisper.
"Um, ok sure.." I let him in. Kuro stared daggers at him like he was a pest while haru slept peacefully.
I sat on the bed facing him as kuro stood close by.
He sat on a chair, staring at us intensely before speaking.
"So what was that all about?" He asked his voice timid.
"Huh, What are you talking about? I have you know that kuro here is just my follower" I clearify our situation.
"I'm not talking about that?! I'm talking about what you told me! If you knew my opponent was cheating, why didn't you tell me how?! I could have won!" He fummed
"Why? So the game would be nulled and consider you the winner?"
"Of course! It's your fault I lost! Now I've lost my chances of ever becoming king!" He yelled incredibly futstrated.
"So in other words..." I stop as kuro bluntly finished my sentence.
"He lost and is now pushing the blame on you, shiori-sama."
The prince jerked his head up surprised.
"My, my, you fell for such a stupid trick and taking your failure out on us, halerious"
"What did you just say?!" He frowned.
"And when someone called you out for your ignorance, you get riled up. Your simple minded and lack tactical skills, your too lenient in taking risks. Obviously your were going to lose either way" I stated bluntly.
"Shut up!" He yelled, and I decided to go for home.
"No wonder you're parents gave you to that foolish kings family..." I said hitting a sour spot.
He gasped
"A ruler who can't secure his heir's place on the throne. Maybe he was too worried you'd f*vk it up and instead gambled it away as a prize for some tournament"
I looked away from him as if disappointed.
"Take. that. back." He spoke in a dark tone, contradictory to his timid one.
"Huh?..." I faced him unimpressed
"You can belittled and insult me all you want... But don't you dare insult my family!" He words were laced with venom.
"I'm just stating facts from my observation. You getting upset only proves my point..." I grinned
"How Dare You!" He rose his hand to hit me.
"Shiori-sama!" Kuro lunged forward.
SLAP!
Everyone was stunned, haru jolted awake due to the sound, kuro stared wide eyed.
My hands were closed together as I had just clapped them together, confusing the elf boy.
"Alright, if you so believe in you grandpas foolish gambling, let's play a game right now" I smiled innocently
"G... game?" He was confused.
"A wager, we'll play rock, paper, scissors. If you win, I'll tell you how she cheated."
"And if you win?" He queried suspiciously.
"You'll owe me a favor, you see I'm looking for the perfect spot to place my store..."
"So in other words, you want me to recommend you to a high ranking trading company?"
I winked, sticking out my tongue. He smirks
"Very well, I agree to your wager" we shook hands.
"Ready, Rock, paper, scissor!" Kuro announced as we brought out our choices.
"What?!" The elf boy stared in disbelief, since he was a half elf, he had incredible luck yet....
he had chosen paper since most would start by playing rock, however the girl choose scissors.
"I win" I stated bluntly
"B...ut how!" "You really think I won't see through your logic, you knew most started with rock so you choose it's counter, however you should have considered the possibility of your opponent knowing that logic and went for rock yourself" I explained
He dropped to his knees.
"Your to quick in making decisions, one of your major flaws. The game was decided before it even began."
"Very well, I'll tell my sources to recommend you to someone" he sighed ashamed.
"Oh, I don't want that anymore..."
"What?!" "I said you would owe me a favor."
"Haru, what was my wager?"
"He would owe you a favor." She replied
"Did I say what favor thou"
"No..." Kuro added
"But that's impossible, I checked it! you said you would need me to give a recommendation..." He clarify
"Yes, but did I say yes?" He froze repaying my teasing expression in his mind.
"No..." He tensed , staring at me with anticipation as my smirk only grew
"for my favor, your body, soul and everything attached to your name is now mine" I spoke with a wide grin.
"Shiori-sama...." I tensed as kuro's aura darkened.
"Why would you do something as low as gaining a human for power,...." He frowned
"Because, even if he isn't king, I may have access to the palace, it's much better and cheaper than these suspicious inn" I explained.
His eyes sparkled "your so smart shiori-sama!" He hugged me excited.
"So, you have a name?"
"It's min" replied
"Lame..., I'm your master now so you'll need a new name "
He froze. "Really?! You'd want to name me?!"
"Of course, from this day on, your name shall be...'
Eliot
The elf boy watched, sweatdropped as he rethought of his life's decisions.
........
{Location: melvialine palace}
No one's pov
The maid turned on the heat as fresh made refreshments were baked. all the guests from last night were in there assigned rooms.
Eliot, now in a butler uniform, walked over to his new master's room.
"Stay strong, min. I won't become her plaything" I swore to himself as he knocked on the door.
"I'm coming in...." He opened the door, only to find the white haired girl sitting by the balcony.
Her hair swayed in the breeze as the evening sun shone. Her eyes staring at the kingdom pitifully with a book in her hands.
"So tell me Eliot, what's going on here, for a tournament for power they aren't many contenders" I stated staring at the city below.
"We were once an infamous kingdom, respected by many, however when it was my adoptive father's rule everything came crashing down. We lost a lot of allies because they didn't trust my father at all, he decided to go to a distant kingdom for help but they got caught up in a flood, both of my parents died that day, leaving my grandfather to be forced to rule once more since I was too young and now that I'm old enough I still managed to blow away my chances to ever rule country. All because I couldn't win..." he explained with a degected look on his face.
"How foolish, if you believe that's why things are this way, just because you failed to win a stupid game then you dead wrong!"
He stared at her with surprise.
She wagered a game and got to stay at the palace, her tactical skills and her extreme knowledge, not to mention those followers if hers. Could it be... She's might be the one who could save melvialine.
His eyes sparked with hope
The next few days were utter torture, the winner of the tournament was still the man that had defeated him.
"Hey Eliot, why do you want to become king?" I queried sitting in the study, reading a book.
"Huh...?" He stood there confused
"Was it because you feared losing your place in the royal family?" I asked.
"No, not really". He replied
"Because you want to save the country?"
"Yes..., my grandfather, was the only one who accepted me into the family despite being the child of another man my mother had slept with. He treated me like I was his grandchild. Now that his gone, this kingdom that he valued is under peril. I want to be the one to save it for his sake " he admitted proudly
"Do you like this kingdom, Eliot?" Kuro asked
"I do! It's my home after all!" He smiled softly
"That's nice" hura said reading a book.
"Honestly I'm jealous you can say it with such certainty. However, I'm afraid your dream will never come true..." I said flatly
He eyes widened .
"So as long as someone takes that throne..".
......
We were walking down the hall to retrieveore books as another familiar figure stood before us with a priest. We halted as Eliot stared at him nervous.
"Axel, it's already the coronations ceremony?" Eliot asked timidly. The man in question brushed off Eliot's words and pulled out a bracelet from his pocket
"Min melvialine, although you lost our game, I heard this bracelet was given to you by your grandfather, so I came back to return it" the man, axel said.
Eliot hesitately reached for it but axel dropped it to the floor unbothered making Eliot speechless. Then Axel leaned closer to whisper something in his ear.
"Remember, you lost so don't make the same mistake as your family"
Eliot froze, kneeing on the ground like his dream just shattered.
"And this is why I said you're a lost cause..." I picked up the bracelet before handing it over to axel.
"As a woman of sportsmanship I believe all wagers are final, hence this is yours, for now at least... " I grinned.
"It seems like the foolish prince has foolish friends as well, fine." He took the bracelet back before continuing to walk down the hall.
"We'll go back to the city after we've settled things here..."
"Ok shiori-sama" kuro and haru smiled
"And you, how long are you planning on sitting on the floor, don't you want that bracelet back?" I teased walking forward as Eliot stared at me with disbelief.
"What are you talking about?" He was confused
"Let's go." "Where are we going exactly?"
"To prove that your family is not as useless as they think" I smirked
"Hurry up!" Haru beamed
"Lady shiori," he clenched his chest feeling his heart skip a beat. He got up smiling again as he followed.
For now my main goal has been placed on hold. first I'll conquer this human country.
"Watch out melvialine, cause here I come!"💮
