"Ugh exactly, they’re seriously the worst!"

I am sitting in a noisy bar in New Town.

Sitting across from me is a young woman who is complaining about what must have been a customer that she had entertained today.

Her speech is rough around the edges, but her facial features have a sense of refinement.

She is relatively tall, with dark orange coloured hair and though it isn’t silk, her tidy garments are made of expensive-looking fabric.

"It must be tough working at an estate. Does it pay well?"

"If it did, I wouldn’t be complaining like I am now. I mean, they do provide the bare minimum, but if you heard how much the meals that are served to the guests cost, you would lose the will to work as well."

She leans across the table, her moderate but nicely shaped breasts almost spilling onto the table, to grab some grape wine that have been poured into a wooden cup. She looks like a cat swiping at a small bird.

Her name is Bella. She works as a laundry girl… and she is one of the maids at the Lambert House.

Of course, this is information that I obtained from Suzy. She joined as maid early this year. Lubreo never touched commoner, so he never has sex with any of his maid, except for this one. The reason he did with her because she is beautiful. But, Lubreo told Suzy that he only had sex with her twice because he is afraid this maid will reveal more of his secret to the public.

Grace is easiest insider, as she is known to cross over from Abram castle to New Town in Lothering during her breaks to drink at bars, and lay with the men she encountered during her escapades.

I am not sure if it is because she has a sense of professionalism, but she doesn’t mention where she works. But I have already been informed beforehand. Therefore it is easy enough to glean the true meaning behind her words.

According to Suzy, Bella is a bit reckless with her money for a servant. Either she has no money saved, or she is using her feminine wiles to earn money another way, not as a prostitute, but as a gold digger. Suzy the noble daughter and Bella the commoner are both gold diggers.

"God is cruel to force such a cute girl like yourself to do such difficult work." I try to please her.

Yes, God, would not be able to protect Bella from what is about to unfold.

Selene has made a pendant that can cloud a person's mind, like a minor brainwashing. 

Waiting for the right moment, I will put on the pendant after treating her to a drink.

We have continued the conversation after that, so Bella is probably unaware of who I even am.

However, I would let her think that it is the alcohol that was clouding her memory.

"Are you a peddler? Do you have any like, cheap and cute accessories?"

"I do actually have a pendant that would suit you. I can’t say that it’s cheap, but if you are interested, I could give you for free…?"

She accepts my invitation under the condition that she leaves early in the morning for work.

"Since you’re my type, I’ll serve you for free tonight♪" She sweetly says.

I make sure to avoid any inns that I had frequented before and had made a reservation at a cheap inn that peddlers and travelers often use in New Town. I welcomed Bella into the room.

I had bought liquor and snacks that may not have met the tastes of top city aristocrats, but would have been considered top shelf for the maids, and turns to Bella when we get into the room.

"I’m fine with this… but are you sure you’re content with this?"

Enjoying a thrilling game with peddlers and travelers who wanted to have some fun. To Bella, this must be just a way to release her pent-up frustration from the day.

However, for me, this is a strategic move in a battle.

Although from the outside it seems like I am just enjoying myself, I have Mirai and Kurotsuchi stationed nearby to alert me in case there is any strange movement.

I feel bad for Bella, but I would just have to use her as my tool.

***

it seems like Bella is already turned on and ready for some enjoyment.

She is already wet when I push my fingers past her lush pubic hair to feel her down there.

"You don’t want to become a concubine to your master?" I try to dig some information.

Traveling performers and troubadours often sang about the romances of beautiful but poor maids who attend to young nobles or merchants.

"If I was to be found out, they would slit my throat. Also… the current master of the house already has his favourite. There are ten noble daughters who he call to his chamber once a month. They are all very pretty. That doesn't include noble daughters who he brings in one night stand."

That ten very pretty noble daughters should include Suzy. 

"So, Bella. That ten girls are his favourite?" 

"Yes. But there is one noble daughter who he sleeps with once every week. But for the past week, she has been with every day."

That should be Lyla Halpernia. 

"But I have another secret. I haven't told anyone, but I don't know why I am telling you this..."

That's because of the pendant's effect.

"The master took my virginity. He had sex with me even though I am a maid, a lowly commoner. From time to time, he had sex with me. Until now, it should be four times. Every time, he had sex with me, he gave several gold coins to keep me quiet."

Looking at Bella's pretty face and alluring figure, I understand why that Lubreo can't keep his hands off her.

"Anyways, never mind that. When are you going to make me feel good?"

Bella says, pressing her lips into the nape of my neck. She runs her tongue down my collarbone; then lifts my shirt and makes her way down my chest to my abs.

It seems she is quite skilled herself, though maybe not as much as Suzy or Sekrit.

I slowly strips off my shirt and begins rubbing her breasts and butt which are enveloped in her expensive-looking lingerie. And we both work to heighten each other’s pleasure.

"It seems like you have your fair share of fun, master… it’s such a strong colour."

She says while looking up at me, and pushes me to sit on the edge of the bed. She then gets down on her knees and begins to pleasure me with her mouth.

I watch her while running my hands through her orange coloured shoulder-length hair.

She is slender, and though her hands are a bit rough rough from work, the rest of her skin is soft and pretty.

Well then, it is time to lay my own trap.

Selena has devised the pendant that slightly alter one's ego.

Now, Kurotsuchi is in the room in her invisibility mode. The pendant is only activated by someone who has string magic ability.

Kurotsuchi focuses her power to her fingertips and I somehow see it forming into thin, thread-like strands and entering Bella through her ears.

The magic threads enter her as if to trace the image in my head.

As the threads penetrate her, I begin to see a hazy shape take form inside her body.

Through the pleasure, I focus closely on the shape, fixating my gaze on the center which seems to pulsate like a heartbeat.

Even I do not know what exactly this is. But it must be something like the core of her spirit.

I grab her head and forc her to look up at me.

"Huh, what’s wro- …. eek!"

As soon as our gazes meet, Kurotsuchi forces the magic threads to pierce the core, and take control of her spirit.

She resists weakly, but the threads that has found their way inside continues to invade every inch of her body.

Her eyes lost focus for a moment, and as if she has lost the ability to regulate her bodily functions, she begins to relieve herself. I quickly return control of her body and proceed to overwhelm her with a feeling of intense pleasure. Now her whole body seems to tremble, and she begins to drip sweet cum.

"Wha-… what’s… I don’t know what’s happening to me….!?"

"I’m happy you’re already feeling it this much, Bella. Now, give it all up to me. Lay down on the bed and prepare yourself to receive me."

I need to make her believe that she is doing it of her own accord.

It might not have much meaning, but it makes things easier that way.

"If it feels this good just from sucking on it… what’s going to happen to me once you insert your penis…?"

What reflected in her eyes is not fear, but desire. It seems like I wouldn’t even need to tamper with her emotions or memory.

Her legs trembling slightly, she presses her body into me, and uses both of her hands to open my legs, and proceeds to beg.

"It’s the first time… I’ve ever felt like this… I want it, please…"

Forcefully awakening someone’s desire seems to arouse both pity and a carnal instinct in me.

I slide my rod against her slit, and as if to tease her, enter her slowly.

"No, hurry, faster, please! I want it more… more!"

I am overcome with the desire to take control of her body completely and make her one of my woman.

But, that would be problematic. I cannot blow my cover at this point yet.

That night I spent longer than usual to penetrate the deepest part of her.

Bella had already reached her orgasm twelve times.

"You gain a sexual partner. Please allocate points accordingly."

The words prompt on the translucent dashboard.

"Name: Bella, Age: 20, Height: 171cm, Vocation: Maid.

Strength: 5, Durability: 6, Agile: 5, Speed: 4, Reflex: 5, Stamina: 13."
