Time has passed since my bride and her Order-collective went out. This is absence is felt and enraging.
“All Drakes follow me, your Baron Bjorn! We will find and retrieve our brood!” (Bjorn)
“”Ou!!”” (Drakes)
She went for Game, they must have her. There was some large Game settled near the mountains where Astrid disappeared.
-_-_-_-_-_-
“Ah, ah, Ahhn~!”
Just before dawn, we found Astrid. At the Game Lands, we found her sent and came here.
Her sent was all over the place, as if they aren’t trying to hide her at all.
“Jeen-sama~!” (Astrid)
[Call me Master. MAS, TER] (Jin)
“MasutTAAA! Ah!” (Astrid)
--Astrid
I crash through the window. You vile game, to defile this Baron Bjorn’s bride.
You will die-
[I won’t allow it.]
Just as I am about to tear the Game’s throat, I am being ensared in a see-through matter, tainted pink.
I’m being held to the ground in a seated pposture, my belly exposed to the Game while hands touch my feet behind me.
[ ! Hana-chan. Iya~, you really helped me out there. Why are you up so late at night?] (Jin)
[… It’s dawn Jin-nii. The operation has just begun.] (Hana)
The Game looks behind for some and then acts in shock.
[… I see. Sorry for your troubles, but I think these little guys will be the only thing to worry about.] (Jin)
[[Your Highness]]
Several game burst through an entrance with tools in their hands. They immediately surround the vile one and Astrid, the rest start attacking my Drakes behind me.
[See~, I had already prepared for reinforcements to come for this girl. And I only need to standby and support [Manifest Destiny] while you Cynny do the real heavy lifting.] (Jin)
[Jin, are you alright!]
[Oh, Terese. I’m just fine.
[My disciple just protected me so there’s really no worry. Would you kindly prepare enough collars for all of them.
[Can’t have our Supreme Commander be distracted any longer.] (Jin)
[ ! Sir! Have the elves bring the slave enchantment here, at once.] (Terese)
[[Maa’am.]] (Soldiers)
Some game leave the room for something, while the vile one Jeen walks away from Astrid and approachs me.
(Lady Astrid, please help us!)
(This is our chance, strike that male Game and free us!)
One by one, drakes beckon Astrid but she never glances at them. Instead, she watches this Jeen while loving caressing a metal loop on her neck.
(Astrid) (Bjorn)
She ignores me!?
(ASTRID!) (Bjorn)
A foot easily greets my chin.
[Astrid, I see. Astrid.] (Jin)
[ ! Master!] (Astrid)
[No no, stay. It seems I’ll have quite some fun with this.
[And you, I will show you something to thank you. This reminds me of how Cynny I first got intimate; you remember, Terese?] (Jin)
[… I do, beloved.] (Terese)
[Oh, the guards are here with my collars perfect timing. Sorry Hana, I’ll only be a minute then you can let them go.
[I’ll take a few women and the rest, you lot can enslave them. Have the Pioki auction them from here to Mesop.
[The men will work on dungeon diving for year, they’ll be quiet useful. But they must be killed by that time’s end or sooner; cause what I’m gonna do now will just make them rebellious.] (Jin)
The game start fitting those metal loops around our necks, and we now match with Astrid. Some of my brides and I are personally fitted by this vile Jeen, the rest of my brides my sneering male-game.
[Oh, you can use them. They don’t seem like maidens so its fine. Make sure to account for all of them with the collar tags, that’s the whole point of [Manifest Destiny] after all.] (Jin)
[[Sir, yes Sir!]] (Soldiers)
[And as for you, I’ve got the incense, aphrodesiacs and time to give you my thanks for the new window in my castle and the new women.
[Hana, we’re done. Good luck out there.] (Jin)
[… onii-chan no baka.] (Hana)
The pink matter released me and exits out the way we came in. NOW’S MY CHAN-
[[STAY.]] (Jin & Soldiers)
((Unn!)) (Drakes)
I can’t move! And my drakes too!?
[Hmm? Are there no species with mind-control amongst the Demons?
[Or have these ones never met such a group until now? Well, I’ll investigate later.
[Brothers and sisters in arms! Take them to your barracks and use them as you will!] (Jin)
[[Sir, yes Sir]] (Soldiers)
Drakes are dragged by their tails out of the room. The only ones left here are Astrid, Jeen, a tall female game and my brides and I.
… The owns that were fitted with loops by Jeen.
[Oh~, you seem to understand your situation now. Don’t blame me for it, this is a world for the selfish.
[And you came to these lands for your own reasons, your Astrid also attacked me for her own cause. And now, I will take everything from you for myself.] (Jin)
How can this be. We drakes, we Bless-ed are the masters of lands and the beasts upon them.
Our All-Father made us, his children the hunters of these blessed biomes. But now…
Now, we are now the hunted.
