Summoned and Unwanted

“How rude, sir Vincent! My lady was married to Demel Blackheart through a business arrangement to make the two Count families earn profits. I heard how the Blackheart’s business grew exponentially while the Lionheart’s business failed because of bad decisions.”

“I heard how my lady’s parents lost a lot and how the once Count rank noble family became a low-rank Baron family in less than ten years...”

*sigh* “My lady cried after she couldn’t leave the house to check on her parents after I told her the news I overheard... Demel Blackheart never allowed us to know what was happening in the city. My lady is like a caged bird, and it all started on the night she got married. She received a drink from Demel Blackheart and, and...”

Maid Xu wiped a tear from her eyes and continued, “My lady told me how she fainted, but before she did, she heard Demel Blackheart say, ” Yuck! I don’t sleep with old hags. I hope his test potion I received can make you look younger at the cost of, hahaha, not bearing children, hahaha.”

“My lady told me how she heard him laughing as if he was happy. I remember how shocked I was when I discovered my lady pale as snow, but I wasn’t allowed the leave and get a doctor. I was locked in the bedroom with my lady.”

“Later, Demel Blackheart saw how the potion didn’t make my lady younger, so he never visited nor invited her to a bedroom ever since getting married.”

“My lady was eighteen years old at the time her life and my life as her personal maid had our changed forever... but, how can my lady be an old hag at such a young age? Many men wooed my lady to become her husband. My lady was in the top five beauties of Lusterfall Kingdom.”

“But... as time passed, my lady gained weight uncontrollably, and Demel Blackheart used it as a public excuse never to let her leave the premises nor receive guests. We couldn’t even hear what’s happening in the world unless I overheard someone talk when I go out to rent a book two hours every week.”

.....

“My lady reads a lot of books to help ease her mind. It also helps my lady keep her weight by forgetting about food because, after a few years of suffering, my lady decided to eat a small meal every one or two days.”

“But I, as a humble servant who was saved by the Lionhearts when I entered the city and became indebted to them, couldn’t do anything to help.”

“I would always have a loyal guard sticking a few inches away from me to report every last detail I did when I went to rent or buy a book... I once caught the attention of an adventurer... but I was immediately stopped with a dagger pressing against my back... I never tried to do anything again because my lady would be left for dead if she lost me...”

Maid Xu told a story that sounded disturbing and unbelievable.

Lupa frowned. She extended her fingers and said, “Let’s hunt the horrible human now!”

“Don’t be an impatient sister. But now, I feel no remorse for having my man steal his wife. But let’s wait for Iris to wake up. She can make us some effective poison.” Ester seemed on board as well.

[My, my, what bloodthirsty people you are. But what Lilith passed through and how she is coping by reading stories is similar to how you used to live. I guess she can make a fine addition to our... your harem.]

[But only after you make her your retainer. I don’t want her to suffer so much to manage her weight with such suffering.]

Vincent nodded at the response of his harem. He went over to Lian and Olive and asked them to lay a few blankets for everyone to sleep on.

“It’s late, so let’s sleep. Ohh, and Maid Xu. I could offer some of the things you mentioned to your lady, but I can offer much more. I can even completely cure your lady at the price of becoming my woman.” Vincent said with a smirk.

Maid Xu gasped. After Vincent’s words produced multiple hopeful ideas, Maid Xu was stuck in a momentary daze. When she snapped out of it to ask Vincent, he was already lying on a blanket with his eyes closed. He appeared to be sleeping after a long tiresome.

Lupa happily rested beside Vincent. When she saw Maid Xu approach, Lupa thought the maid wanted to steal her place.

“Go away, human! This place is mine.” Lupa glared at Maid Xu as if she was about to do something unforgivable to the poor wolf girl.

Lian and Olive thought it was fun. They giggled and rushed to sleep beside Vincent’s left side.

Maid Xu took a step back at the strange turn of events. Maid Xu turned her head to the last one awake and asked about the validity of Vincent’s words. Ester nodded with a smile. Then she lowered to sleep beside Iris.

Maid Xu scratched her head and sat in front of the campfire. She pondered and mumbled a lot about the many life-changing things all happening in one day.

Kazumi heard every word Maid Xu said because curiosity overwhelmed her. Kazumi invisibly floated beside Maid Xu until the elf maid went to sleep a few minutes later.

‘This maid is a good gal. She keeps worrying about Lilith and doesn’t worry about her current predicament. But I hope this day will not change Vincent more than he changed. I miss the naive, timid Vincent of the past.’ Kazumi looked at Vincent and all the people he gathered around him.

‘Well, guard duty for me it is. ‘ She thought while going back into Vincent’s soul domain.

*Day 66 – Early morning*

Vincent yawned and opened his eyes. The dark morning sky of the next day greeted his sight.

Vincent heard two female voices he had never heard before. He turned his head and saw Ester and Maid Xu informing the two adventurers what had happened to them. By their tone and reactions, the two didn’t seem to remember what happened after they felt very strange.

[Iris woke up a few minutes ago. She went with Lupa, Lian, and Olive to the goblin graves.]

[Those two women woke up recently as well. I didn’t want to wake up so that you could have a good rest, but it seems the commotion is a bit loud.]

-It’s understandable. They went through a lot.-

Vincent got up and looked around. However, Lupa, Iris, Lian, and Olive weren’t at the goblin’s grave sight.

‘I hope Lupa doesn’t trouble Iris. Did they go to get the horses?’ Vincent thought as he changed direction and headed toward Ester and the other three women.

Vincent focused his gaze and checked the two women’s condition, stats, and names.

“Hi there. I hope you are feeling better.” Vincent tried to act friendly after the two women suffered from the lustful intentions of men. Vincent as a man. Thus, he was afraid of frightening them as their conditions needed time to cure by themselves.

The two women shivered at the sight of Vincent. “Stay back, you beast!” Both said at the same time.

“He is my man, and I promise he will not touch you inappropriately. Don’t worry and calm down. It’s going to be fine.” Ester tried to prevent a problem from arising. She honestly didn’t know if Vincent would also consider killing them. Ester never knew of Vincent’s new thirst for blood.

“This is sir Vincent. He is the man who saved our lives, removed both of you from the capture vial confinement, and fed you something to make you two sleep. Sir Vincent helped both of you from succumbing to the urges you didn’t want to have. The aphrodisiac in your body should have weakened by a lot because of this. ” Maid Xu continued after Ester.

Vincent nodded and added, “Yes, Fliara’s and Eliara’s condition will return to normal in about twelve hours.”

“How do you know our names?” Fliara asked with a frown.

“My sister is right...” Eliara looked as if she was getting bullied.

“A skill.” Vincent simply replied.

Vincent looked at Maid Xu and instructed, “Take care of these two adventurers. I think they will be hunted if they are reported as dead by Viscount Demel Blackheart in order to have them sold as slaves without a hassle.”
