"Do you want to be demoted?" The ruler coldly asked as Linx, the third executive out of the three, grumbled with anger.
"F-Forgive me for speaking out, but this woman does not deserve the position of executive!"
"And why do you say that?"
"Sh-She's weak! Way too weak to be an executive, so I just do not understand your intentions! Please elaborate!"
"And why should I elaborate to you?" The woman asked, and her cold voice was like a muffle that wrapped around the throat of every single person present within the throne hall.
The man beside me, who presumably thought he was close with one of the rulers of Tolf, looked down at the ground, almost ashamed that he believed to be even the slightest bit close with the woman standing before us.
"Your excellency, though I do despise Linx, I believe his words speak the truth," A sweet voice ran throughout the room, and suddenly a woman came through a white portal that opened up in the side of the room.
She was dressed in white robes, and her pure white eyes mixed with long white hair… she was like a yuki-onna from Japanese legends.
She almost seemed to be clad in a layer of fog that slowly danced around her, sending a chill through the room.
Of course, this was the one and only Nova, the second executive.
"*sigh*... and what if you disagree with me? Huh? What will you do?" The ruler taunted her subordinates, who took a knee before her, sweating bullets.
They hated me so much that they dared to go against her… something they wouldn't have even considered before.
"Is Silas gonna come out of thin air now to also object to this woman? That would be quite the amusing sight," The ruler chuckled, but all of a sudden, a man with wavy black hair, dressed in gray robes, and eyes that pierced that atmosphere walked into the room.
The ruler's eyes squinted against the skin of the man, causing him to immediately tense up, but upon kneeling at the foot of her throne, he announced,
"I have no objections,"
Silas, the first and most powerful executive, is even said to possibly be more powerful than the ruler herself.
"That's good… though your opinion doesn't mean much since I was going to nominate her anyway… but it seems the other disagree… fine, I'll tell you why. She's smart and good at managing things, just like her father… though, she'll have to work hard to surpass that old bag," The ruler scoffed before walking down the footsteps leading from her throne.
"I-Is that so…" Nova stuttered, and as the ruler gestured for us to stand, we all stood up, with Silas immediately leaving without permission.
The ruler didn't seem to care much, but when Nova and Linx attempted to slip out, she quickly blocked their path with a pillar of ice.
"Both of you come back here, now," The ruler ordered, and as both executives began to sweat bullets, they quickly ran up to her and lowered their heads.
"I-Is there anything else you need?" Both asked simultaneously.
"Just so you know, bullying her won't be allowed. Though she might be a personal servant as of now, that doesn't mean she's lower than you in terms of status,"
"O-Of course," Both violently bowed over and over before the woman flicked her hand, a gesture for them to get out of her sight.
Scary…
"And you…"
Her voice suddenly got a bit darker as she turned to me as if I had already done something wrong to her.
"Y-Yes?" I just barely managed to squeak out as her hand reached towards me.
My entire body tensed up as her hand grabbed my shoulder, and I couldn't help but shake violently as I thought I would be punished for my already wrongdoing.
"Are you content with your new position?"
"O-Of course," I stuttered.
"Good… The penthouse at Tokyo tower is all yours to visit. Your brothers also have a secured job and secured safety while working in Tolf. Though they may have to climb the ranks, at least they get to live in that amazing pent house that most people wouldn't even be able to witness in their lifetime,"
"R-Really?" I stuttered since this seemed too good to be true.
"You're an executive but also a personal manager of me… you don't need anything too fancy," The woman scoffed, misunderstanding my words almost immediately.
"C-Can I speak to my brothers?" I asked as they were standing in the corner of the room, just crying tears of happiness that we could finally escape from the torture of that old man.
The woman let out a long sigh before snapping her fingers, causing the bindings around my limbs to fall off and allow me to run to my brothers, who had also been set free.
We hugged and cried until my younger brothers both fell asleep in my arms… it was so adorable.
"What is your name, girl?" The ruler asked me, and I quickly presented myself before her by kneeling right at her feet.
"K-Kimi… Please call me Kimi,"
"Oh? Your father picked more of a foreign name? Thought he had more of a stick up his ass," The woman smiled before receiving a tablet from one of her servants.
She swiped a few times on it before handing it to me as I continued to kneel in front of her.
"This is my schedule that Kuza had fixed. It's constantly changing due to tons of unprecedented circumstances, but I also need you to arrange meetings,"
"If I may ask… why isn't Kuza still serving you?"
"Oh, him? He's a butler that was raised from way back in the day… he's a personal servant to all rulers of Tolf… you could basically call him our chaperone for whenever we have way too much work thrown on us,"
"O-Oh… I see… managing all of this and putting it into a schedule for one day… you wouldn't have any sleep for at least the next few days," I stuttered.
"Then push some things back. You gotta be committed, so the people I have meetings with don't push you around… you may not be the strongest, but being my personal servant, you have tons of leverage. On top of that, being an executive allows you to mobilize any men to get what you want… as long as it is for the benefit of Tolf, do what you want. Though, taking in children from towns or cities you've slaughtered would be helpful,"
"I-If I may ask… what shall I call you?"
"What do you call yourself when you serve somebody?" The leader asked though I could tell she already knew the answer.
"A-A servant… A-ah, I see… Mistress, I'll try to serve you well," I muttered.
I was excited for the first week since though there was way more work than I previously had, there were no slaughtering innocents… until I realized that being her personal servant meant more than just managing her schedule.
Running errands, helping her out with her work, and… there were some things that made me so nervous that my heart tried to jump out of my chest.
"Come on, get to it… I don't got all day," Mistress muttered as I held her feet in my lap.
"Y-Yes," I stuttered before slowly massaging her pale and bare thighs, slowly working to the hamstrings that caused her to jump from being a bit ticklish and then to her calves and finally the soles of her feet.
"Now just repeat that… damn, my thighs are killing me," Mistress muttered, and she was currently wearing some tight black leggings so I could really dig into her muscles, but it seemed she wanted some more direct contact… so she took off her leggings and revealed the lingerie she was in.
I also saw a few hickeys and lipstick marks along the inner parts of her thigh, making me sweat even more.
"Where are you looking?" Mistress smirked as she noticed me paying attention to the marks that practically littered her legs.
What the hell had she been doing?
"Ah… that's right. I have a girlfriend, and her name is Mia. We have some fun every other week or so, since we barely get the time to see each other. Mmm… Oh yeah, I should also inform you that I have a baby coming in about a month. The growth of it is quite amazing," Mistress muttered, rubbing her completely flat and toned stomach.
Baby? What baby? There doesn't look to be a baby…
"I-I didn't know that… Congratulations, should I hold a baby shower?" I asked.
"Nah, it's fine… I want to keep this information under wrap until I find a personal team that can defend my daughter under any condition.
"Shall I look for one? I've already had my eyes on this adventurer guild I was hoping to arrange a meeting with… they'll do anything for money, but they're also pretty respectable. Brutal at times, but are respectable to the people who pay them the big bucks,"
"Hmmmm… Okay, go ahead,"
