章節 11: Duty Of A Servant

Asher felt that this was something he would have to find out himself later. But remembering the blurry memories in his head, the reason Ceti said matched with what he saw.

"It is just as she said. My father, for some reason, entrusted me with your life. So whether you like it or not, you can't leave this castle without my say-so. If you want anything, there will always be servants around here to help you," Rowena said as she got up and walked towards the door to leave.

"Wait!" Asher called out as Rowena paused and turned around, "What is it?"

"Isn't this supposed to be your room as well? I mean…shouldn't a husband and wife be staying in the same room?" Asher felt that if he was going to be totally isolated, when would he get a chance to get closer to her?

He was interested in her, but only to use her to avenge his unfair death.

"How presumptuous!" Ceti was about to say more when Rowena gestured to her to stand down as she looked at Asher impassively, "You seem to misunderstand something. You might be my husband, but the only reason I married you was to respect my father's wish. Other than that, we share no sentiments, not in the past or now. All I can do is keep you safe."

'Does she think of me as some vase to be locked behind walls forever?' Asher knew her response was to be expected. Still, it left him frustrated, and seeing Ceti smirk at him only ticked him off even more as he said with a firm gaze, "Then I want Ceti to serve me in your place."

"What?!" Ceti's eyes shook as she wondered if she even heard him right.

Even Rowena had a blinking expression, and before the two of them could say anything, Asher added as he curled his lips subtly, "I am not mentally crippled like I was before. I am still a man with various needs. The fact that you forbade me to leave this castle is something I can still understand. But if you were to leave me in total isolation, especially when my own wife does not want to stay with me, I would go mad with loneliness and depression. I might get worse than I was before."

Rowena's expression became thoughtful upon hearing his words.

But Asher was not finished as he went on, "Even if you do not hold any sentiments towards me, I am sure your late father wouldn't want you to neglect me. Otherwise, it would be better to die than live as a dead man," He finished with a pitiful look.

"This is ludicrous! Your Majesty, let's leave. We don't have to listen to his nonsense," Ceti said with a scowl.

Asher roared, "Hey! Is that the way you are supposed to speak to the Royal Consort? By showing disrespect to me, you are disrespecting my wife too."

Asher wasn't scared of Ceti since just before, not only Rowena but even Ceti herself had said that no harm should come to him. He wouldn't have to worry about any consequences…at least not within the castle. Doesn't this mean he can at least act freely before Ceti?

Ceti was slightly shaken when Asher suddenly raised his voice since, for a second, she felt as if she wasn't standing before someone who can rattle a person's spine with just their eyes.

But then she shook off this silly thought but felt Rowena's gaze on her as she immediately apologized, "I am sorry, Your Majesty. I meant no disrespect to you," Ceti couldn't believe she was made to look bad by this weakling.

"You have to apologize to me as well. Otherwise, your apology to her is meaningless," Asher said with a cold smile.

Ceti gritted her teeth as she forced herself to look at him and said in a strained tone, "I…I apologize…" She told herself that she was doing this only for her queen and not for some useless thing who didn't even carry the noble bloodline of this house.

Asher scoffed, hearing her half-assed apology, but he was satisfied to let her know her place.

Rowena finally spoke, "I understand that you have your needs as a man, but for that, I can give you any maid you want…the prettiest ones with their virginity intact if that is what you prefer. They will happily serve you."

Ceti was glad that her queen was dealing with this fool for her. She inwardly snorted, wondering how he even had the balls to demand something like that. A weakling like him surely wouldn't be able to satisfy even a lowly maid.

Asher softly chuckled as he asked with a brief shake of his head, "How could you think so lowly of your husband, Rowena? As a Royal Consort, don't you think lowly maids are beneath me? Besides, I took a liking to Ceti," Asher said as he purposefully scanned her curvy red body from top to down, making Ceti's eyes glint with disgust.

"And since she is your servant, she is mine as well, right? Or does she hold a higher status than the Royal Consort himself? Are you willing to let her disrespect the values of our kingdom at your expense?" Asher asked as the corners of his mouth turned up while looking at Ceti.

In his previous life, Asher would never think of saying something like this to a woman, no matter how much hate he might have.

Being stuck in 14 years of hell where he couldn't even raise a finger to protect himself coupled with the betrayal he faced had given birth to flames of resentment inside him.

And now, his spite for Ceti was feeding these flames, and he wanted her to know that her actions has a price. After seeing how much disdain she had for him, he suspected that she must be one of the people who tortured and made his life miserable when he was a helpless kid.

However, he knew Rowena would stop him, but his main goal of making Ceti know her place would be a success.

Ceti felt like cutting his dirty tongue out and only felt even more contempt for him since there was no way her queen would tell her to serve this pervert.

But she heard her queen sigh softly with her eyes closed before looking at her with a firm expression, "Ceti, you will serve him as he pleases. As the servant of the royal household, you can't ignore the Royal Consort or his wishes."

'Oh? Interesting…' Asher still found it surprising that Rowena actually agreed. He expected her to defend Ceti and disagree. He only wanted to make sure Ceti didn't keep annoying him by scaring her, but it seemed things took an unexpected turn.

He knew that the royal household would mean only Rowena and him, her husband, since she was the ruler of this kingdom.

Ceti's eyes quivered as she bit her lip, unable to believe her queen was actually letting this weakling do as he pleased.

"Your Majesty…" Ceti helplessly mumbled, but it seemed Rowena was really firm in her decision, and thinking about her words, it wasn't like she was wrong. Still, how could she serve this weakling and lose her dignity?

But there was no other choice. Her queen's orders were like a decree that could not be dismissed.

And so, in a suppressed, resentful voice, she asked, "What do you need me for…Your Highness?"

Asher's mouth twisted as he said, "Strip yourself naked and come lie down on the bed," He gestured to the bed.

Ceti looked at him with an outraged expression and then looked at her queen, "Your Majesty…Please…"

Rowena held her wrist as she looked at her with a mild gaze, "This might be hard for you, but you have already pledged your life to serve me and my consort. Your duties would be the same as any other servant or maid. You are free to leave as well, but you won't serve me or this house any longer."

Ceti's expression fell as reality dawned on her. Her queen's orders might seem cold-hearted, but she was right about the duties a servant of the royal family should follow.

The title of the Battlemaster was honorable and respectful before the people, but they were still a servant to the one who lords over the kingdom, and they were expected to follow any orders without question. She even took the oath of following her duty toward the queen and her husband before becoming the Battlemaster. But at that time, who would have thought that this husband would one day wake up to cause trouble for her?

Situations like these weren't unprecedented, and even in the past, servants of the highest rank had done similar things for their masters. It was actually considered a common thing, but for someone like her, she never expected she would be faced with such a situation.

But she can't give up and let her queen think her loyalty can be shaken, "I...I will do my duty, my queen. I won't let you down."

She slowly turned around and, with trembling hands, began to remove her armor while Asher looked on with a subtle smirk, finding it pleasing to see her ego slowly crumbling.

章節 12: Figuring Out The Culprit

"Quick, I don't have all day to keep watching you undress like a snail," Asher said as he patted on the bed, making Ceti mutter inwardly in a cutting tone, 'It's not like you have anything better to do, pervert.' She wanted to say this aloud, but after knowing how twisted the tongue of this rascal was, she just couldn't risk it anymore.

Rowena shook her head with a sigh of disappointment as she turned around to walk out the door.

"Rowena, don't go out already. Please stay because what if she tries to disobey me in your absence?" Asher said as Rowena paused her steps and looked at him, "She won't disobey me."

"I know you have confidence in her, but I don't. So can you at least stay only for this first time just to make sure she is capable of serving me. After that, you don't have to bother," Asher said with a narrowed gaze.

'How dare he…' Ceti couldn't believe this rascal would also demand her queen to watch. This weakling knew no restraint. All this time, he was bragging that the queen was his wife, and yet now he wanted her to watch?

Rowena's expression was filled with reluctance. But after a few moments of silence, with a stiff turn of her gaze, she said, "Okay…Just this once. But only for a minute."

Asher had to admit no ordinary woman would want to stay and watch, even if it was only for a minute. So was she doing this for his sake or to see how he was going to treat Ceti? Or did she just not care at all?

Ceti had removed her entire upper garments by now and covered her ample breasts with both her arms, her face reddened in shame and anger.

Asher looked at her dark red panties and said coldly, "Take that off too, or do you think I am joking? What do you take me for?"

But inwardly, Asher was surprised at how different she looked after taking off all that armor that covered her body and head.

He knew her body was already sensuously beautiful, but after seeing the rest of her supple, fair red body, especially her ravishing face, which had an amorous charm due to the blush on her cheeks…He couldn't help but feel as if he was looking at a fine piece of fine sculpture. No ordinary werewolf woman can match her charms.

Ceti's lips quivered as she stared daggers at him. She had never stripped herself before anyone like this, let alone a man whom she wished to beat to a pulp after humiliating her like this.

She could only swallow her indignation as she removed her panties as well and immediately covered her maiden region with her other hand.

Asher took a good look at this beautiful red-skinned demon who had one of her arms barely covering her plump breasts and the other covering her honeypot.

He had always considered demons as ugly creatures, not because of how most of them looked but because of what they were. He never felt physically attracted to any of the female demons he had come upon in the past due to his mindset.

But looking at her curvaceous nude figure, especially her smooth and fair red skin, her titillating cleavage, her lean muscles that beautifully blended in with her slender body, and her lovely, prominent collarbones actually made him feel something primal and exciting.

He wondered if he was feeling this because he was a demon now.

Ceti had never felt so mortified and exposed while feeling like her dignity was slowly being stripped away under his dirty gaze. She could feel him looking up at every inch of her body with his eyes, though she had no idea that Asher was actually confirming his demonic nature.

With heavy steps, she got onto the bed and laid down while feeling her heart thumping loudly against her chest. She never dreamed that her first time would end up like this.

Asher got atop her as his lips curved into a lopsided grin, "Not feeling so talkative now…are you?" He said as he leaned his face closer till her face was just barely a few inches away from his.

Ceti clenched her jaw as she looked away with her dark blue eyes shaking. She simply closed her eyes and was just waiting to just get this over with quick and consider this as a bad dream.

Asher scoffed, seeing her expression, and raised his brows as he smelled the sweet smell coming off her body, "Who would have thought the great Battlemaster actually had such a slutty body underneath all that armor? Tell me…How many men have you already toyed with such a body?" He whispered into her ear with a cold smile.

Ceti's hands were trembling as she bit down on her lower lip, wondering how long this pervert would ridicule her.

She was a respected and proud Battlemaster and no man or woman till now had the guts to disrespect her like this. She could kill someone as weak as this rascal a hundred times over in her sleep.

"Ugh…I am done. You are not good enough as I thought," Asher said in a jaded tone as he got off the bed, making Ceti suddenly open her eyes in disbelief and shock, wondering if she heard it right.

She immediately turned her head around and saw Asher getting off, making her feel relieved but at the same time, remembering what he just said made her gnash her teeth since he made it sound like she was beneath him.

Rowena blinked her eyes in surprise, not expecting Asher to actually back out himself. She knew how pretty Ceti was and how many men actually tried to court her but failed since Ceti considered them all weak.

"Why are you still lying on the bed? If you still want it, you have to beg for it, and then I might reconsider," Asher said with a twisted chuckle, making Ceti feel like spitting on him as she quickly sprang out of the bed and dressed herself.

Asher did feel physically tempted, but his pride didn't let him. In the end, he used his status, which he didn't earn, to make her succumb forcibly. He could see why those rich but trashy kids loved to use their influence to get things done to their liking. It was quite easy and was something one could easily get addicted to.

But he was someone who always took pride in earning things himself, be it power, wealth, or status. In his past life, he earned everything he had through his own hard work, and even if he received help, he made sure he did things to deserve it.

And now, when it came to Ceti, he wanted to make her succumb by using his own power. She should succumb to him on her own. Only then would he truly feel satisfied rather than borrow Rowena's influence.

At least he succeeded in making her realize that he was not someone who would silently endure things like before.

Rowena had a strange look in her eyes as she looked at him. She then shook her head briefly and said, "It's almost night. Asher, I want you to remember my instructions and follow them without fault. As for the Life Crystals, don't worry about it. A maid will give you some tomorrow. Let's go, Ceti," Leaving some instructions, Rowena immediately walked out as Ceti also quickly followed after her with a vexed face. Even if nothing had happened, she felt enough had happened to make her feel like she had lost half her dignity.

"Wait, what life crystals?" Asher called out from behind, but Ceti immediately closed the doors, and it seemed like she even locked it from the outside on purpose.

Asher didn't understand what Rowena meant by giving him the life crystals. This was the first time he was actually hearing about them. But looking at the four walls around him as he stood in the center of a large room, he mumbled,

"This fancy prison…I have to find some way to get out of it," Asher was feeling greatly frustrated about his current situation.

He sighed as he leaned against the window and looked at the dark clouds in the sky, thinking about the memories he saw when he woke up in this world, especially the blurry faces of the people who tortured him. He felt that at least one of them wanted him dead for sure.

Otherwise, how could a cripple like him end up outside on his own?

'Ceti might not like me, but she couldn't be the one who tried to get me killed…' Asher inwardly mused after witnessing how loyal she was to the queen. Of course, her loyalty to the queen didn't necessarily confirm things, but now that he was calmly thinking about it, she didn't seem like the type. Those who were guilty of something like trying to murder him wouldn't openly diss him since he was not a retard anymore.

He knew the culprit was most probably one of the blurry faces he had seen in his memories.

The only way he could rule out and suppress Ceti was by forcing her into a corner using his status. But he knew that for the rest, he may not be able to do it, especially if those people were powerful in their own right.

In the end, he has to somehow become powerful and cough out the truth from those who tried to hurt him and make sure they regret it.

But then his expression became dull when he remembered that he didn't have mana. In this world, he was still a cripple because of that, whereas on Earth, those without mana were considered normal and could still assume positions of power.

His dark yellow eyes became blank as he felt his situation was hopeless. Was he too overconfident and blinded with anger before to think that he could get his revenge?

'No…Why am I getting depressed without even trying? I can't let them have the last laugh…' Thinking about the betrayal from his ex-girlfriend and the ones he trusted, Asher clenched his fists as he pressed them against the wall. He also knew that if he gave up, he would just get stepped over by the demons here and die a death just as miserable as before.

His gaze hardened as he resolved himself to use any means possible to get what he wanted. This time he can't let anything stand in his way, even if it means doing things he had never done as a Hunter.

But he suddenly noticed something weird,
