BXBX NOVEL Chapter 10 Pet Like Maid
Today i went to buy reinforced handcuffs that could tie a 3rd rank person but it was too damn expensive. 4 reinforced handcuffs are 8 gold.
I thought about stealing them, but i was sure that i would be caught by knights when stealing the items.
I didn\'t have anything to do for the day other than training. Thus i am waiting for my new maid to come to my house.
A while later door was knocked and i opened it.
In front of me was a woman in her early twenties, 168 cm tall with black shoulder-length hair and blue eyes. Her body was well proportioned, and her C cup breasts with her fit body because of her fighter status makes her a beautiful petite woman.
Well, she is Aria, my fresh maid.
"Hello there Aria, how are you doing?"
"I am good young master, thank you for your care." said Aria with a completely professional tone.
"Don\'t be stiff like this, anyway come inside."
I led her inside and sat her beside.
"Well, Aria don\'t call me young master, call me Kayle, master or anything normal.
I said that you will become a maid, but don\'t be a professional one. I like talking, it keeps me from boredom. Know this too, i am nearly always bored. So if you manage to divert my boredom to entertaining things or interesting things, i may give you rewards.
Though you are not a talkative person, so i don\'t think you can do these things, well humans can hope, right? Do you have any question?" i finished my explanation and waited for Aria\'s response.
I find her interesting because she is like me but the opposite. I am acting like normal outside because with this i can pass time more easily and don\'t attract attention but i don\'t have many emotions in my inside. While she has plenty of emotions inside of her from what i can tell but on the outside, she is blank like paper. Her face blushes but there\'s no movement in her facial muscles.
"From my understanding, the master doesn\'t want a maid but something different. My question is why maid?"
"Frankly i was going to kill you after the experiment but you piqued my interest, hence i took you to temporarily relieve my boredom.
I made you maid because when i became 14, i will go to the academy and i needed a maid as you know every noble student has to bring 1 servant with them." i answered clearly.
"Master are you really just bored?"
"Yes, i am bored. But like i said, talking makes it easier to endure. Once in a while try to entertain me."
"Yes master."
"Anyway, come lay your head on my thighs."
"May i ask the reason master?"
"No, you can\'t. Just do it."
Aria put her head to my lap and i started to caress her hair.
I am doing this for 3 reasons, first is because i want to break her blank face and see her expression.
Second is to form a bond, because even though there\'s a contract. Contracts aren\'t all powerful things, so i wanted her trust or loyalty.
Third is because Lucy will come soon and i want to see her reaction too.
"What are you feeling right now Aria?"
"Embarrassment and comfort, master." Aris spoke monotonously.
"So you are comfortable on your master\'s lap but embarrassed about this fact, hmm?"
"Yes master."
"Can you tell me why you wanted to became my servant Aria?"
"I can\'t tell master because i made a contract about it. But there\'s nothing malicious about the contract, it is just for keeping secret the matter."
I leaned towards her and said:
"So you have met the [Prophet] huh, aren\'t you more interesting right now."
Aria\'s pupils shook and her heartbeat quickened.
"Master you know him?" Aria asked quickly.
"Well i don\'t personally know him but i have some knowledge of him. Do you want to hear it?"
"Is it okay for me to know master?"
"Well Lucy, my sister didn\'t come yet and i am bored, so if my little pet wants to hear it, she just has to ask it nicely and i would tell it." i emphasized the word \'nicely\'.
She got silent for a while after that she started to rub her head on my thigh like a cat.
It was a ridiculous sight that she is eagerly rubbing her head like a cat.
"Hahaha. It would be cuter if you broke your blank look, but well it was good."
Ahem!
"Do you know demigods and demons? Well, it\'s impossible for you to know because no alive human knows this, except me. I am awesome, right?
Ahem!
Anyway, there are 9 known ranks for every mage and fighter. But from my knowledge, there are 11 ranks, though there may be more ranks too but i only know 11 of them.
After the 9th rank, there are 2 paths. One is demon while the other is demigod. I don\'t know how someone ascend to 10th rank and became a demon/demigod because there was no new demon/demigod for thousands of years.
[Prophet] is a demigod that holds a portion of authority over prophecy. He couldn\'t ascend to Godhood hence roaming around the world blankly and telling prophecies to random people and signing them secrecy contracts.
Well, it is a shocking thing that even humans can become god, right?"
Aria stayed still for a few minutes and asked:
"Master, how are you know this kind of information?" her voice was hesitant and her body was quivering.
"My little Aria is scared because of this. What a pity, i wanted to tell you so many things. But now that i see your reaction, you would undoubtedly die from shock and i wouldn\'t want that." i raised her face and kissed her forehead.
"Now relax for a bit, i don\'t want my new pet to break."
"Yes master."
I patted her head slowly for a while.
"You won\'t tell anyone what i said, understand?"
"Yes master."
"Good. Now, what are your thoughts about being my servant or pet and most importantly, do you like the treatment of my pet? Do you want to behave like a pet when i am alone, because caressing hair is good for spacing out which makes it easier to think about something and distract myself from boredom."
"It is unexplainable master. You have strange knowledge that i want to listen but you are too creepy for a child that it is making me uneasy.
For the pet treatment i can tell that i liked the treatment master, if it\'s the master\'s wish, i am willing to behave like this." Aria spoke bluntly while her face became red because of her huge embarrassment.
Though her face was still blank, i couldn\'t break it, what a pity
"Good."
After that, i caressed her hair for 15 minutes, until Lucy came.
Lucy bursted open the door and said:
"Brother i read today\'s book. Let\'s go out!"
"Good joob Lucy. Come here and give your greeting to my maid."
Lucy come and saw the still laying Aria.
Lucy\'s face showed a myriad of emotions in a matter of seconds.
At first, was shock after anger later jealousy and sadness.
"Brother! Why is a grown woman laying on your lap and why are you patting her head?" Lucy shouted and pointed to Aria.
"That wasn\'t good greeting Lucy. You have to practise your greeting style.
Anyway, this is my chosen pe- *ahem maid for the academy, as you know every student has to bring a servant. As to why she is laying on my lap because i thought that bonding like this would make our cooperation easier in the academy." i said with a completely serious tone.
Lucy heard my reasoning and looked at me with a dumbfounded expression.
"You are saying this woman, who is pampered right now is your maid." Lucy stuttered.
"Well as you know Lucy, you have to treat your servants well, or else they can betray you for a little amount of money.
Though you can sign a contract with them to ensure that they can\'t betray you.
Though i signed an average non betrayal conditioned contract with her and i am treating her well too. Because if a servant is loyal, they can be more useful than your average servant.
Don\'t you think so too Aria?"
"Yes master." Aria replied monotonously.
Lucy looked at Aria for a while and spoke.
"Brother is her voice and face always like this?"
"I don\'t know her for long, but she was like this when i meet her. Though i tried to break her blank expression or monotonous tone, i couldn\'t break it.
Anyway, Aria get up and give your greetings to my sister."
Aria got up quickly and bowed to Lucy.
"Well as you can see, she is not a professional maid. But don\'t worry, i hired her because she is 3rd crystal fighter with high potential. So i will support her and she will work with me, right?" i patted Aria\'s cheek slowly and turned to Lucy.
"We have to get you a servant too Lucy. Do you have something in your mind for your servant\'s qualities? Their potential, rank or something like that."
Lucy stared at me for a while and said excitedly:
"Brother, can you help me to pick a servant like yours?"
"Sure i can do that, but you have to wait for a while." i said and Lucy nodded excitedly.
She is excited that i will pick her excellent servant but i am not.
I will pick an average potential person or an average strong person and threaten them with something important to them. After that, they would have to sign a slave like contract. i will dispose of them after a few years of their service and repeat the processes.
I will dispose of them because i don\'t want Lucy emotionally attach to a servant of hers. It would be a troublesome matter for me later.
Afterwards, we chatted a little and went out because of my promise to Lucy.
Lucy was bored because she forced herself to read the books that we picked at the information mage\'s secret base. She was forcing herself because i said that if she did not read it, i won\'t go out with her.
Anyway, we strolled around, bought some ingredients, played around and went back home.
When the night come i went to Aria\'s room. She is my maid, hence she is staying with me.
Anyway, i entered her room without knocking and saw her reading a book while lying on the bed.
"What are you reading Aria?" i asked because she was swinging her legs while reading that book.
She heard me and quickly closed the book and put it under her pillow.
After that, she looked at me blankly. Though her ears were a little bit red.
"Nothing important master. What are you for here master?"
"If i say, i was scared and wanted to sleep with a strong big sister, would you believe me?"
"No i do-"
"Don\'t answer it. I just needed some help, so i come to my strong big sister. Come, we are going to catch some experiment materials and a servant."
