As I looked out the window I saw all the different species of the human empire dwarves, gnomes and of course humans. There also various subspecies such as the nobility (high humans) and dark dwarves etc which is all good because it gives me more options to diversify my slaves and toys to break.
It used to bother me being just nobility instead of imperial nobility because I am sure that I would meet an ass hat that would go out of his way to piss me off but if everything was easy I would get bored of it fast. I just had get the creative juices flowing to make death seem like a sweet release. While planning my future the car comes to a stop outside what appears to be a palace
Thomas:"They didn't even prepare anyone to greet us even though I informed the head butler earlier" the pale Thomas looks defeated
This was supposed to be a fun day of watching Thomas whipped like a pig instead some uppity servant seeks to humiliate me! I will wait until I see how a servant of the house treats me before I jump to conclusions but if it is less than licking my ass, well then they will know suffering. Thomas had informed me of my entitled rank within the family being a direct descendant of the main family of the house.
As we ascend the the stairs Thomas gets the door using his identity crystal for it to open and allow us through we proceed through the doors and just now with a casual stroll and clear look of disdain as if someone shit on the floor in full butler regalia. All the while I do my best impression of a wide eyed naive child with social anxiety holding my maids hands. Thomas looking even more humiliated by my actions begins announce me.
Thomas:"Gerald I contacted you about the young master arrival why wasn't there anyone to greet us?"
Gerald:"Is there a point to greet every upstart" without even acknowledging anyone "As for you two report for reassignment" when glance at the maids
Thomas:"Is this the lord's opinion?" he asked with mild suspicion
Gerald:"The lord has no need to be concerned with such a minor nuisance" in a tone full of indifference turning head toward the maids "I have already dismissed..."
Before he can say another word I blowout his knee an earth bullet spell as a cold look forms on my face and he begins his fall down the stairs. With biomancy I insure he doesn't die from it the he slowly realizes what just occurred
Gerald:"How dare..." as I walked towards him he complained but I don't allow him to continue by kicking him in his jaw all while Thomas is rendered speechless
Me:"I entertained your bullshit long enough not only was I not greeted properly but you have the gall to treat your betters as a nuisance finally you dare to command my maids with what right? my tone becoming chilling
Gerald:"The lord..." again I cut him off
Me:"...has let his dog run wild for too long and now it falls to me to make an example of what happens to unruly animals."
Not bothering to listen to anymore I begin to recreate some tools from my old torture kit I really miss my magic murder bag. The only thing that brightens my day is magic allows me to perform many forms of punishment simultaneously of course I have to pretend to chant and use my foci ring but it is important to educate those beneath you that it is not a good idea fuck with me as a former gangster I learned early on if such problems are not handled immediately than every asshole thinks they can do the same with that said I slowly and meticulously play a game of operation while keeping him alive for all to see and get the point because if he dies he just a memory alive a reminder.
Using my best negotiation skills I convince him he made a poor decision as he now gets to spend the rest of his life as a living reminder to not fuck with me. Just as I finished cleaning up my hands from the living horror show that is Gerald the house guards finally decide to show up.
Guard A:"How dare you attack and kill a servant of the house Hydra"
Me:"Relax he isn't dead only wishing he is" I say with plenty of snark "As for how I dare I'm the grandson of the head of this house still feel like taking that tone with me?"
Guard A:"Nonsense I know all eight of the grandchildren of the esteemed lord Eric"
Me:"I'm the son of Ellie if appearance hasn't given it away you moron then Thomas can corroborate that" I point to the now horrified Thomas
Thomas:"It's true and he is well within his rights to punish a servant as he sees fit" Thomas now catching on to try and avoid a similar fate
Guard A:"I'm sorry I didn't see you sooner I'll have these maids clean this up and..."
Me:"These are my maids you will clean take him to the servants quarters"
Guard A:"My apologizes young master I'll call some servants to..."
Me:"I didn't say call servants I said you will do it if I find otherwise I'll have you whipped" turning to Thomas who is paler than before some how "Take me to my Grandfather"
