Dismiss the servant (kindly)?

From Create Your Own Story

"It is forgiven, now return to your station." She mutters a 'thank you lord', and leaves.

Walking over to your bed, Willow looks at you nervously.

"Master, I-I..." She stutters.

"It's alright", you interrupt. "I'm sure you're hungry, so I won't interrupt." With a wave of your hand, you gesture for her to start. At your prompting, she begins eating.

After she finishes, you decide to start on your armor.

"Willow, I'll need you to help remove my armor." You say, getting to work on your arms. "Start on the legs, I'll walk you through it."

Within minutes, you are out of armor, wearing only your silk underclothes. You turn to look at Willow, who is sitting on the side of the bed. You remove your silk shirt, exposing your bare, muscular chest. There is a light amount of hair, and a scar that goes down the right side of your abdomen.

"How did you get that?" Willow asks, as you walk over and sit on the bed with her. Even in the low light, you can tell she is blushing at the sight of your muscles.

"During sword practice," you say, bored. "Speaking of practice, why are you embarrassed by seeing me undressed? I'd think that your trainer would have 'trained' you with his body."

"When Garmen talked about my trainer, he was talking about a woman from the Kingdom of Fleuria." She started recollecting, laying on the bed. "I 'insulted' her when her husband became attracted to me. She decided to blindfold me and let her guards have their way with me." At this point, you can tell she is uncomfortable, yet she continues. "One of them got tired of my crying and decided to break my arm. He was fined, but he was still allowed near the other girls there. All the time I was there, I was told to practice with the other girls. Thus, I didn't see a naked man."

Listening to her story, you feel sympathy for Willow. Because of her poverty, she was kidnapped and forced to serve people like Garmen. Though, you think to yourself, you are hardly better, having bought Willow for just that purpose. But even then, you never planned on being rough. Laying down next to her, you start thinking about what might help Willow. Deciding to think on it in the morning, you place an arm around Willow's waist, kiss her ear, and fall asleep.

--The next morning--


When you wake up, you see one of the servants that helped you into your armor. Kowalski, you think his name is. He is carrying a scroll, but seems preoccupied with lifting the bed sheet to observe Willow's body. You clear your throat to get his attention. Jumping back, he manages to hold the scroll in his left hand, and place his right hand in a fist over his left pectoral.

"Baron Von Furgeson wishes to see you in the war room." He said, stopping just as an awake Willow sat up, unintentionally exposing her chest.

"Very well." You say, pulling the sheet up to cover Willow, and lightly kissing her cheek. "Allow me to get dressed, and I shall see him."

Kowalski's gaze lingered on Willow, until he tossed the scroll onto your bed and left.

After putting on some clothes that befit you as son of a lord, you make your way to the war room, where Baron Von Furgeson is waiting. Though you have little patience for your father's vassals, you need their support to maintain your land holdings. You carry the scroll with you, having read it on the way.

"I trust you have read the scroll?" The baron's deep voice boomed. You nodded, you had read it.

The King of Pulshnia had declared their war with the Holy Empire of Romeny, whose emperor you and your father support, to be a 'holy war of liberation'. The various Pulshnian nobles had declared their intent to 'liberate' the vast number of slaves in your empire, conveniently forgetting that they themselves owned slaves.

"Why are you informing me of this?" You ask. Von Furgeson never respected and the feeling was mutual. Respect for your father and Emperor William was the only thing keeping the two of you from dueling.

"Because, mein herr, if Kowalski is to be believed, you could be suspected for supporting these 'enlightened nobles' from Pulshnia," Von Fergeson said, using his favorite mocking title against you.

"I am no traitor!" You shoot back.

"Still, you have yet to 'enjoy' your new slave." Von Fergeson states, seemingly knowing everything. He helps your father spy on his vassals. "If you aren't interested in carnal pleasures, Kowalski and his friend Alexei would be more than happy to get 'acquainted' with her."

You walk away, and consider your options. Though you were hoping of easing Willow into this, Von Fergeson dashed that away. You doubt Kowalski and his friend would care about Willow's needs.

Go and fuck Willow without telling her anything?

Explain yourself to Willow and have your way with her?

Let Kowalski and Alexei 'befriend' her?

Go back and put Von Fergeson in his place, sending a guard to watch Willow?
