Chapter 48
Sleep was bliss. After cleaning up and healing Stacy I took the time to move kitty in the cage to the bedroom. Everyone cleaned up and sleeping I slept in Freyas arms while holding Stacy who's voice was almost lost from all the screaming. I let her rest and pampered her a bit earning some jealousy from Freya. I needed the rest and was tired. When I awoke everyone else but my kitty was asleep. She looked like she had not slept all night.
She must be haunted by the memory of Stacy's playtime last night and I smiled in thought. I used my flexibility to remove myself from my toys without waking them. My tigers were awake watching over us in peace in the corners. I loved seeing their natural ability they all seemed to grow up with. I remember when I picked them up for years did I realize they naturally blend into the background. If someone entered into the room they would not detect them instead we who are sleeping will be noticed first. It was a species thing I think or maybe not. Ther 'Aunt' did not have it. Maybe their parents did? I was not sure. What I did know that I loved these cuddle buddies a lot. They were loyal and fun to be with. I dressed in simple stuff but did not forget to equip my weapons. I threw on a cloak before I left.
I exited the room with my sleeping toys with the little Kitty watching me leave. Her face was nice with that same haunted look. She was going to probably sleep during the day. I went down to see the starting of the day glow into the Inn with the innkeeper hard at work with cooks in the back. I knocked on the counter to gain their attention. I smiled and ordered food with a couple of bowls to be brought up in an hour and a half and left the Inn. I moved through the vacant streets moving quickly putting energy into it moving like a shadow. I looked around seeing if there was anything that I needed to check out. I moved towards a shop that I know is always open no matter the hour. Finally, I reached it in twenty minutes. I walked into the Slave Masters guild. I walked up to the receptionist.
"I saw all your slaves the other day I was not interested. I want to see your VIP slaves. I am looking for a skilled slave able to do complex things for me. I do not care about their gender or race. If you have any call someone to attend to me and show me your goods." I quickly put out there and the receptionist looked at me with a professional smile.
"Sure one-moment ma'am." I waited shortly when a Female in leather armor with fresh blood came in. "You the one who wants to see the special stock?" I looked around and nodded.
"Well, no need to be an ass about it. I always ask since the other day I took a moment longer and the customer went outside while another came in. Doesn't matter let me show you our special stock. I apologize for my appearance. A new stock came in over the night and one got a little feisty." She walked as she talked bringing me deeper into the guild, "I had to discipline them and show em' whos boss. You have the feeling of a fellow Trainer. Do you sell your trained or you keep em' like toys type?" She looked at me and I smiled under my cloak.
"I keep mine as toys. If I have needs I usually let them think they are free but never take the collar off. I keep mine to myself. They are such wonderful toys to play with." I stated and watched her shiver a little with my honesty.
"Ah, one of the crazy ones we call them around here. Do not take offense but in the Empire that is slightly frowned upon. People around here think that for the 'Slaves' mentality after they are trained that they should be sold. I do not understand wanting to keep tamed stock but whatever. I enjoy training more than playing with the trained." She finished a small rant before reaching the end with a locked door.
"You forget something, Us crazy ones simply looked at the 'Trained' and see further training is needed. I can say my toys will sacrifice themselves for me without asking. Their pain, Their pleasure, Their souls, Their body, and Their hearts are all owned by me. I have trained them so that betrayal even in someone else's hands would be unthinkable. Your training ends when they show all the signs of utmost devotion. My training continues and ends when they are buried six feet underground. They don't even dream of freedom in death and even then if they reincarnate the next world they will follow my orders. They have no thoughts other than what will please me more. Yours is half-assed in my mind. Undying Devotion is what I seek to reach." I sigh at this trainers lack, "I will not debate with you I want to see the special stock."
The trainer looked at me weirdly but shrugged her shoulders and opened the door. I saw the more luxurious cells where the slaves were better treated to their worth. "What are you looking for? Someone who can Fight? Someone who can fill your bed?" The trainer turned to look at me and I thought of my requirements.
"I want someone who can take care of themselves. I need someone who can navigate murky waters or complex tasks without needing a guiding hand at every moment. This does not mean they need to be ex-nobility or anything. I need someone with a good head on their shoulders who can complete the task with long term plans in mind." I finish and the trainer looked at me even more weirdly.
"That is a hard set of skills you are looking for. I might have someone who can take care of themselves. I also think I have someone that can fulfill your second set of requirements but they will be way more expensive. These types usually go to be Butlers or head maids in nobility houses taking care of manors."
"That is fine I have gold," I simply state. We walked down the hallway and reach to a cage with a man inside. It was a large man with black skin and black fur on his arms almost till his shoulder and his entire legs. His large cock showed flaccidly at six inches quite well hung. His muscles were ripped, to say the least. I could tell under his fur the muscles were jacked as well. This was a muscle head from top to bottom. I looked up to the top of his head and he looked good. This must be a beast-kin from the north in the wildlands area. These were beast-kin but even closer to the animal. He had a nice handsome face but his fangs showed. This was a Wolf-kin and was a strong one. Even in slavery, you could see his determination to survive. I wonder how the slavers caught someone like him.
"I am guessing this is the one who can take care of himself." I turned for confirmation to receive a nod from her. I look at the wolf as he turns to me and looks down.
"What do you want little one?" The slave asked me and I was hiding under the cloak with a smile.
"Well you are not tamed, to say the least, but that matters little to me. Wolf-kin I care not how you came here. I see your muscles and think maybe you are weak to end up here. You end up here while I am out here weak one."
"Do not call me weak!" He slammed the bars and I knew there was a reason they had him in an extra reinforced cage. "I killed forty of them before I was knocked out in a lucky hit from a cowardly mage. I will have my RESPECT. I will not have a weak Master if I must have one at all. You little one smell like a predator. Why are you here." The Wolf-kin continues to try to catch a glimpse of me.
"I am here for business you may become apart of that business. I will offer you something. I will take you out of here and give you new goals. Not just wildly growing stronger. I will expect devotion in return nothing but undying devotion to me. Do you wish to leave with me?" I ask letting someone like this not choose would just take to much time. He had too much to fight too much pride. It would take me weeks to break down that pride followed by that self-confidence. Then I would have to rebuild it. That would take even longer. I would be safer just starting a new with a different slave.
"I will not follow someone weak." He paused thinking then smiled, "You want devotion. I want Freedom. I shall make a bet with you, Purchase me and we shall fight for my life. You win and I get a taste of that body as well as losing this collar. You win and you receive my undying devotion to your cause." That toothy shart grin on that face with pearl white fangs with the blackface made for a striking image.
I thought about it. "Trainer lady, what is this slave's price?" She looked at me surprised that I was considering his offer. This guy was C-rank at least in melee fighting I would guess. This alone made him valuable but harder to tame.
"He is a steal at one thousand gold coins. This is not negotiable. We have not tamed him so the price drops a lot. his ferocity is also dropping the price. The amount of strength he has increased it to this point. The guild I have been told will not go lower than this." I nodded. I put a hand under my cloak and pulled out a thousand gold coins from the inventory loading it in a bag I kept in my cloak.
"Thousand gold coins for this one. He will be following me out of here so give him a cloak or something so his fucking cock isn't wagging around behind me while I walk. Let the guy have some dignity although with his size he is emasculating men just from walking down the street with that out." I giggle to myself and realized I had a threat on this wolf if I showed him Freya. I contemplated how I wanted to treat him. "Show me the smart one I asked for earlier," I commanded and the Trainer seemed more respectful now. I was a rich client not some random from the street. The food would be ready soon and I had a wolf-kin to bring back. The guy was huge too where could I put him I wonder?
I followed down some stairs into the underground of the guild the wall still looked clean even in an underground. The cages were all immaculate for the slaves. This was defiantly still the VIP area. We finally came to the last cage she was a little thing about five feet tall but she had a scholarly are around her. The brown hair with blue eyes. Floopy door ears atop her head. She had bookshelves in the room.
"Well, what's this cutey doing here?" I asked quickly. The Dog-kin was about a b cup and looked like she couldn't hurt a fly.
"This Sweety I am surprised they are willing to sell her. She is a convict that is a scholar. She was captured in cohorts with necromancers to fund her book fund. Here in the Empire Necromancers are a banned profession. The Necromancers were hanged burned then purified in that order and she was sold into slavery. She is an intelligent woman with years in Nobility. We just picked her up last night and no one had the chance to purchase her. She fits your criteria." The trainer finished.
I looked at her from head to toe and nodded. I think she is better than perfect. She does not have much morality that I need to beat out. She is probably intelligent just fucked up and got caught. I think I can make use of her. I also can sell her back at no loss if I purchase her. "How much?" I looked to the side at her and the Trainer smiled.
"Ten thousand gold." I winced. The price tag was steep. I had roughly twenty-five thousand on me. "Nine thousand and I will take her out secretly with five hundred ending up in your hands later." I countered and she looked at me and smiled.
"Deal." I pointed at the cage door and she smiled. "She can follow you out."
I placed a five hundred gold coin bag in her hand which she slipped into a concealed pocket and I passed another nine thousand. Five hundred gold was five hundred gold it was not much saving but I also made this trainer happy. This smoothed things over as a discontent Dog-kin was pulled out behind me by her collar.
"My BOOKS!, LET ME KEEP THE BOOKS!" I roll my eyes.
"Are they your books?" I asked the trainer.
"Nope, they were from her library that she kept. They tried to drag her away from them but she was so pathetic the guards told her that if she went along with them she could keep as many as she could hold. She has a rare soul bound ring of holding. This is one reason she is even more expensive."
"Well let her grab her books then," I stated and the dog-kin ran in and started to collect all the books with a dazzling smile. She finished quickly and came back to me and the trainer. She seemed obedient as long as she had books. We started to leave with the dog-kin at our heels cutely.
We finally reached the reception after a little and found The wolf-kin there at the reception. "Perfect these are our documents and I have been informed you have paid. These are the documents of ownership. Sign here and here." I read through it and everything looked in the order I signed and they transferred the collars to my control. The wolf-kin was now in a basic Black cloak and the scholar dog-kin was in her brown robe.
"Follow me I wasn't expecting to purchase anything. Need to grab some breakfast for you two. Then I will see what good you are." I started walking out with two new slaves behind me heading for the Inn.
