Master and Slaves

"Excuse me, Master. Lady Gertrude. The preparations are complete."

"I see. Well then, shall we go?"

"Yes, I’m so excited~"

"Then this way."

I walked with Sara and Lady Gertrude, following behind Cathy.

...

We descended the stairs leading underground.

"Is something like this common in every house?"

"Hmm, yeah. Most noble mansions I’ve visited had them. But I don’t know about commoners’ homes."

Lady Gertrude answered without looking at me, while I followed her.

Behind me came Sara, Rina, and Rine.

We reached the bottom of the stairs. There was a door on the right side.

I remembered that the place where Ilma was captured had the same structure.

When I opened the door, there was a room about twenty tatami mats in size.

On the left side, four luxurious chairs were lined up facing right, with Tzecilia sitting in the very back one.

On the right side, ...

"Ilma! Helma!"

On a raised stage-like platform, completely naked Ilma and Helma were hanging with both arms and both legs spread wide open.

Helma still had her ankles tied, but Ilma was suspended in the air with chains attached to golden fittings on her elbows and knees.

"Oh my, Hera. You look good like that. And little Ilma too. I wonder if Master Hiroyuki got her modified. Hera is going to become like this too. Ufufu."

Lady Gertrude, who had entered the room first, sat in a chair on the front left and muttered.

Ignoring her slip-up, I watched Ilma and Helma and my blood boiled.

"Muriel! What is the meaning of this?!"

"! Master ..."

I yelled at Muriel in anger.

Muriel’s body trembled and she shrugged her shoulders.

"Hiroyuki-san, you said you’d leave everything to Muriel, right? Then I should have been able to watch until the end."

Even though Tzecilia’s face had turned slightly pale, she tried to persuade me.

That’s right. I had left everything to Muriel.

"...Yes, that’s right."

I walked around the chair where Lady Gertrude was sitting and sat down on a chair between Tzecilia and Lady Gertrude.

Cathy and Tiria rushed over.

Then Tiria sat on the floor in front of me, and Cathy stood behind me.

Sara, Rina, and Rine stood further back.

...It might be better if Rine wasn’t here.

Seeing this abnormal situation, I didn’t think it was appropriate for a young Rine to watch.

In fact, Rine was making an anxious expression as if she was about to cry any moment.

"Rina, take Rine and ..."

"Ah, did we make it in time? Good~."

At that moment, a woman appeared from the door.

A middle-aged woman who looked like a younger Lady Gertrude.

Her dress was several steps more flashy than Lady Gertrude’s.

"You’re late, Matilde."

"I’m sorry, Mother. I was busy with preparations for tomorrow."

Lady Gertrude stood up and approached Matilde.

"I’ll introduce you. This is my second daughter, Matilde. This is Hiroyuki-san, Helma’s master."

"Nice to meet you. Matilde von Cartelli. Nice to meet you."

Matilde, the woman standing next to Lady Gertrude, spread the hem of her skirt and folded her legs in a noble greeting.

"Hiroyuki Asahi. Nice to meet you."

I stood up and bowed my head in greeting.

"Oh, Hera. You’re dressed like a Te-Dule. And ... Master Hiroyuki is a bit perverted, isn’t he?"

Matilde looked Ilma’s body up and down as if licking it and said that.

Though her words were sarcastic, her expression looked excited.

"No, I didn’t do it."

My second excuse.

But they didn’t hear me.

"What, are you embarrassed? Come here already."

"Oh, you brought this child too?"

Lady Gertrude and Matilde turned around.

Then Matilde pulled the rope in her right hand.

Being pulled by that rope, a nearly naked boy in his late teens came out from the entrance door.

""Kyaaaaaaaahhh!!!""

Helma and Ilma screamed and lowered their faces.

Muriel stood in front of Helma and Ilma to hide their naked bodies.

I also rushed over and stood next to Muriel.

"Matilde! What is the meaning of this?!"

Tzecilia also stood up and pressed Matilde.

"I wanted to show this child what a Dule is. It’s fine, isn’t it? She’s already a Dule."

Feeling the gaze of blame from herself, Matilde said with her mouth pouted like a child.

Then she pulled the leash in her hand again and presented the male Dule in front of Matilde.

"Tim!"

At that moment, Rina raised her voice.

"Rina!"

The male Dule also called Rina’s name.

Then he looked down at his own outfit and immediately turned around.

"Oh, you two know each other?"

When the boy Tim turned his back, Matilde was standing there.

Matilde grabbed Tim’s shoulder and made him face forward.

Tim’s face turned bright red as he lowered his head.

His body, which only had a collar on it, had just enough muscles and little fat.

He was slim and had a body suitable for his age.

And there was no hair at all in his crotch, and the male symbol there was hanging down.

"Ufufu. He’s so cute, isn’t he? I’m looking forward to having fun."

Matilde said that and reached her hand into Tim’s crotch and grabbed his penis.

Suddenly it became long, thick, and began to erect powerfully.

"Mm ... ku fuu ..."

A pitiful voice came from Tim’s mouth while he was looking down.

Rina covered her ears and squatted down on the spot.

"That’s enough. Muriel, lower Helma and Ilma. There’s nothing more to do here."

I felt anger at Matilde’s actions of tormenting Helma, Ilma, and Rine, and ordered Muriel to withdraw.

There was no need to perform some ritual to make them Te-Dules here after tormenting them like this.

"Master ... Understood."

Muriel also nodded and started untying the chains holding Helma.

"You’re not doing it? I came all the way here even though you’re busy."

Matilde put both hands on her hips and spat venom.

Hearing Matilde’s words made my blood boil even more.

At that moment ... the world I was seeing spun.

What ... my legs ... had no strength.

I felt sick.

This ... is the same as this morning.

I knelt on the floor and lay down right there.

""""""Master!!!""""""

"Hiroyuki-san!!"

The slaves except Rina and Rine, and Tzecilia raised their voices loudly.

"S-so fast...!!"

Muriel placed her hand on my chest and poured in magic power.

I immediately felt better.

"Thank you, Muriel."

"It’s nothing, Master ..."

Muriel’s face turned pale as she answered my thanks.

"Lady Muriel, Master is ..."

Cathy’s face also turned pale as she asked Muriel.

"...Lack of magic power."

"But, magic power was there this morning ..."

"It seems the part I replenished has already run out ... It should still be okay though ..."

While panicking, Muriel told Cathy.

Then she stood up and bowed her head to the stunned Lady Gertrude.

"Lady Gertrude, may I continue as it is?"

"What are you saying? You said you wanted to borrow this place, so I lent it to you on the condition that you show us what you’ll do. But if there’s even the slightest thing you don’t like, you said you’d stop, and then you changed your mind. Enough already."

Matilde said to Muriel, putting her hand on her hip and glaring irritably.

"I’m sorry, Lady Matilde."

Muriel knelt down on the spot and pressed her forehead to the floor.

"..."

Lady Gertrude stared at her intently.

"Mother, these people should leave immediately."

"..."

Matilde pressed Lady Gertrude, but Lady Gertrude’s previous chatter faded away. She silently looked back and forth between me, who was being cared for by Tiria and the Dules while lying down, and Helma and Ilma, who were still hanging.

"Matilde, that’s ..."

"Basically, it’s because you do whatever you want. Tzecilia. No matter how much of Mother’s friend you are, you should know where to draw the line."

Matilde turned her anger toward Tzecilia, who was trying to say something.

"Matilde."

"Understood. I’ll expel you right now."

"Wait, Matilde."

"What, Mother."

"...Fine. Let’s leave."

"Mother! What are you ..."

"She’s Tzecilia’s daughter after all, Helma."

Lady Gertrude approached Helma.

"Aunt ... Grandmother ..."

"...Just this once, okay?"

After that preamble, Lady Gertrude slapped Helma’s cheek with her right hand.

"!"

"Helma!"

Muriel stood up.

I, the other Dules, and Sara were also stunned.

"This is a punishment for saddening Tzecilia. While you were still Tzecilia’s daughter."

Then Lady Gertrude gently stroked Helma’s cheek.

"Matilde, let’s go."

"Mother!"

"You’re busy too, right? Come on."

Lady Gertrude urged Matilde and tried to leave the room.

"Auntie!"

When Helma spoke, Lady Gertrude stopped right before closing the door.

"Thank you very much."

"...Next time we meet, call me Lady Gertrude."

With that, Lady Gertrude closed the room’s door.

"...Hiroyuki-san, Muriel-san, let’s start."

Tzecilia said that, though she looked apologetic.

"...Muriel."

"Yes, Master."

Muriel once again attached the chains to Helma.

While that happened, I turned around.

"Rina."

"..."

"Rina."

"Y-yes, Master Hiroyuki."

Rina was stunned and looking at the door where Lady Gertrude and Matilde, with Tim, had gone out.

She didn’t hear my voice properly, so in response to the second call, she answered in surprise.

"...Sara."

"Yes, Master."

"Take Rina and Rine and wait upstairs? The location is ..."

"Tell Lady Gertrude to use the reception room from just now."

Tzecilia moved her seat next to me and said that to Sara.

Sara looked at me with a puzzled expression.

"Please do that."

"Understood, Master. Thank you, Lady Tzecilia."

Sara took Rina and Rine’s hands.

"Excuse me."

Then she left the room.

"...Then, let’s begin, Muriel."
