บท 49: Dominus
"I swear it was an accident!" was Ethan's only excuse. He strained his moral compass but received no feedback of guilt. Nothing!
First of all, Ivy had always been a bitch to the former Ethan. Even Earth Ethan received a fair amount of disdain during their short and bitter encounters. Moreover, the girl literally asked him to dry hump her ass in order to escape from the tunnel. What else did she expect would happen eventually?
"An accident?! You goddamned liar!!" Ivy yelled back. "You tried to shove your thing inside me through the panties! Even though I categorically asked not to! Don't pretend it was a bloody accident!"
Tears had accumulated in her eyes and threatened to roll down her rosy cheeks. On his end, Ethan was livid. The girl was still flushed from the incredible orgasm he gave her. Wasn't she grateful, shamelessly leveling accusations against him? Was Ivy suffering from a weird post-nut clarity?
"Have you forgotten that we are related by blood?!" she exclaimed, jolting her brother with a brutal shove. "Did you really want to fuck your own sister?"
At this point, Ivy expected Ethan to feel overwhelmingly guilty and apologize profusely for his rash behavior. Then, perhaps she'd have mercy and forgive the incident as a coming-of-age mistake.
The girl also intended to hold the crippling guilt over her brother for years to come. She'd also use it to blackmail and manipulate favors out of the future Count Cromwell. However, foolish Ivy wasn't prepared for the exact opposite reaction.
"So what if I wanted to fuck you?" Ethan asked boldly. "I'll say it aloud—you are gorgeous, and I am very attracted to you! It is natural for me to desire your body sexually! How is that such a ridiculous possibility to you? At least I am honest with my intentions!"
Ivy's jaw dropped in shock and stayed open. "You are not only my sister but also my legal ward," the boy added confidently.
"I am the freaking Count Cromwell, for God's sake! I'll lay claim on whatever and whoever I desire in my dominion! What about you, sister? Would you choose a wizened old man over me? Making love to me is so disgusting to you?"
Slap! Ivy hit her brother again. This time, tears were streaming down her cheeks. The boy didn't flinch even though the corner of his lips split and a trickle of blood rolled down his chin.
Ethan smeared the crimson trail with his finger and showed it to his sister. "Are you scared of the little blood I drew from you? Now we are even!"
Ivy's expression of disdain faltered suddenly. She realized how crazy she had been acting. Why was the girl blaming her brother for accidentally deflowering her? Didn't she expressly give him permission for sexual activities?
As the elder sister, wasn't Ivy jealous of Gwen because their brat brother preferred her? That he considered the little sister prettier than her?
She sighed, letting go of the insecurities that had weighed her down for years. The girl bit her lip to stabilize herself. Her sorrow had other causes, though.
"I was saving myself," Ivy whimpered. "Chastity and virginity are mandatory to become holy knights! The trainers check our bodies every week! After what you did to me, I will be kicked out! My career is ruined!"
Ethan raised an eyebrow, wondering what kind of academy conducted virginity tests on its trainees. He was also curious about the nature of the tests performed.
Was it a pull-down-your-panties visual inspection? Or a spread-your-legs two-finger test? Did the trainers do it in public or private? Did the academy have male seniors?
The kinds of cultural possibilities were endless. Before snapping out of his fantasies, Ethan made a mental note to visit Ivy's training academy at least once.
"Say something!" his sister exclaimed, staring blankly at his delirious expression. "What is so amusing?"
Ethan smiled thinly, grabbed her hand, and guided her fingers between her own legs. "You'll be surprised to find that whatever you thought was broken, is already repaired. My seed can regenerate lost limbs under the right conditions. Reversing a girl's defloration is child's play for me."
Ivy took a few seconds to wind down. Then, the gravity of what her brother said dawned upon her. She spun around and did a quick personal cavity inspection. As the girl turned around, Ethan could see with satisfaction utter disbelief spreading over her pretty face.
"It's impossible…" Ivy murmured, looking into his eyes in a different light. "But how?"
Ethan wasn't even listening to his sister anymore. He had wanted to do something bold for a while now. In fact, the sucker slaps and wet drama encouraged the boy further.
The Cromwell heir grabbed Ivy by her neck and pulled her face to his. He kissed her square on the lips.
At first, the girl resisted, employing her strength and trying to pry her brother off. But Ethan was much stronger now and wouldn't let go. Moments later, she gave up the fight and kissed him back.
Minutes passed as they devoured each other's faces as if it were the end of the world. When the forbidden lovers finally let go of each other, they were breathless.
Ivy lowered her eyes and refused to make eye contact. She pushed her brother away, this time playfully. Without another word, the girl pulled up her shorts and stormed out of his bedroom.
Ethan lay back for a minute in the crime scene—his defiled closet. With a delirious smile, he relived the last hour in his mind.
A truckload of lewd adventure had happened within a short time. The boy waited until the lamps burned out. A slow wave of contentment spread over him in the comforting darkness. Maybe Promiscua wasn't so bad after all, eh?
Ethan got to his feet, finished a warm shower, and settled into bed. Perhaps he could get a quick shut-eye before going to the Constable's Office? At this point, a system prompt popped up.
[Processing…]
[Reward 1/3: Attribute points +4]
[Reward 2/3: New skill—Kiss of love Lvl 1]
[Description: Activating the skill triggers the target to kiss the User. 10% chance of turning enemies into lovers. Not effective on people already in love with the User. Not effective on those hit by Cupid's Arrow]
'Whoa, a new skill!' Ethan opened his SKILLS section to see the revised list. He figured it was necessary to remember them all. Only by using the skills regularly could he level them up.
[Ghost hands Lvl 2] [Active skill] [MP cost: 8] [Effect: 30 seconds]
[Kiss of love Lvl 1] [Active skill] [MP Cost: 5] [Effect: Instantaneous]
[Stealth Lvl 1] [Passive skill]
[Poison Resistance Lvl 1] [Passive skill]
[Jelly Skin Lvl 1] [Passive skill]
Ethan went to his LEVELING section for a quick status check.
[Level 1]
[PHYSICAL: Strength—5/10, Beauty—3/10, Agility—1/10, Libido—2/10, xlockedx, xlocked]
[MAGICAL: Soul—1/10, xlockedx, xlockedx]
[CHARACTER: Intelligence—4/10, Perversion—3/10, Faith—0/10, xlockedx, xlockedx]
[DESTINY: Luck—1/10, xlockedx, xlockedx]
[Allotted points: 19/900]
[Unallotted points: 4]
The Cromwell heir had added the last four earned attribute points to 'Strength.' Now, he was pretty formidable, having tested his physical strength against Ivy, a competent warrior trainee. Which other attribute should he develop now?
'Hmm. Now that I have a longer list of skills, I will need more magical power. Ghost hands drain MP quickly, and I almost fainted after using Ivy's rune.'
Ethan added two APs to 'Soul' in the MAGICAL category. Immediately, his MP bar lengthened, settling at fifty. That was a bit reassuring.
'What would happen if I level up 'Libido'? Will my well-endowed pecker make a comeback?'
Even after shooting his load on Ivy, his penis had not reverted to the earlier ten-inches. The Neuter curse, as explained by Jack Mehoff, still haunted his genitals. Perhaps he could read the book further to find a cure?
[Reward 3/3: DOMINUS section is unlocked!] [Level 1]
[User can subject targets to his will to make slaves]
[Do you consent to the heinous act of slavery?]
Ethan was taken aback by the question. Dominus? Slavery? What was the system trying to make him into? What about the social, moral, and philosophical implications? 'Yes!' was the immediate response.
[DOMINUS] [Level 1]
[Generating the list of spiral-marked targets]
[…..]
[Elaine Brackish]
[Hilda Trombone]
[Ivy Cromwell]
[Select one to be their dominus] [MP cost: 40]
Ethan raised an eyebrow, processing the names. They were the specific females with whom he had sexual encounters! To be accurate, he spewed his magical sperm on their bodies and made them consume it. Did the spiral runes mark the women for implementing DOMINUS?
'Well, let's experiment with the nearest person on the list.'
[Ivy Cromwell] [MP -40]
Ethan's MP bar was reduced considerably. It was lucky that he added attribute points to 'Soul'. Otherwise, he wouldn't have the magical power to activate DOMINUS.
[Successful!]
[Ivy Cromwell] [Status: NA]
'Ermm… What do I do now?'
[Slave status can be updated after a harsh physical contact]
[Commands may be remote, delayed, or direct]
[Success of command depends on its complexity]
'I see… So I can issue orders to Ivy, and she'll perform them remotely? That is awesome! But whether she is actually under my control can only be confirmed by updating her status.'
[Set trigger word to activate Dominus on Ivy Cromwell]
[Trigger words must prefix commands, without which Dominus shall not work. They also activate delayed commands]
'Hmm… Trigger words for Ivy… How about… Psycho sister!'
[Ivy Cromwell] [Status: NA] [Trigger word: Psycho sister]
[Dominus Tutorial]
[Issue your first remote command to Ivy Cromwell]
Ethan spoke aloud this time. "Psycho sister… To mark our first sexual encounter, you will wear red panties today."
[Successful!]
[Issue your first delayed command to Ivy Cromwell]
"Psycho sister… You will remove your panties today and hand them to me."
[Successful!]
[Pending: Issue your first direct command to Ivy Cromwell] [Requirement: Slave must be in your presence]
Ethan shut down his system, satisfied with the exciting possibilities ahead. He was too charged to sleep any more; it was breakfast time anyway.
The Cromwell heir put on a crisp set of clothes and headed to the royal dining room. Neither Ivy nor Gwen were in sight. He had a wholesome breakfast of bread, eggs, and fruit, which really hit the spot.
The Constable's office was already crowded when he reached the place. A dozen subordinates surrounded Hilda, all talking simultaneously. She looked up from her table as soon as the boy arrived.
"Clear the room!" the Constable ordered. "I need to speak with Count Cromwell privately."
After the guards filed out and shut the door behind them, Hilda sighed heavily. "I'm sorry for summoning you so early in the morning."
"I was already up," Ethan replied with a shrug. "What message did Mom send? All good news, I hope?"
The Constable's expressions faltered. "Lady Velma did reach Gulchtown safely. She is planning to return within two days."
"So what is the problem? Let's just call it a successful visit and move on."
"There is some bad news. The Countess specifically asked me not to tell you about it in her letter. But I must defy her orders since my loyalty for you is as strong."
Ethan nodded. "Thanks for that. What's the bad news?"
Hilda rolled out a map of Fondel County and tapped at a location in the Southern Hills. "Lady Velma's reconnaissance unit was on their way out of Gulchtown when they spotted a group of militant orcs nearby."
"Fearing an attack, the Countess turned back her host to protect the innocent citizens. I'm afraid she may be in danger!"
