In the huge palace, once home to one of the most powerful Houses of Dark Elves in Diyarten, on the top floor, which had previously belonged entirely to the matriarch of this House, in the office where important meetings had once been held, there was a very tense and nervous silence. All the new inhabitants of this palace were now there. Most of them, weak-willed puppet servants, were in a trance and lay motionless on the floor, with some clothing spread out beneath them. The rest of the new inhabitants of the palace were either sitting at the huge conference table, standing next to it, or standing by the doors. And now they were conscious. Five of them were fully conscious.

And two of these five had only just come to full consciousness. Because of this, Violet Edelhart's son and daughter looked very pale and did not even try to hide their horror at the realization of the situation they were in. Their mother was holding up noticeably better, but if you looked closely, you could see that she was far from completely calm. Shira, who stood guard at the entrance to the office with the other dark elves, having changed from the openly vulgar white dress of a slave maid to a full set of Underworld hunter's gear, was holding up better. Outwardly, she showed almost no sign of anxiety. Her upbringing and training had taken their toll. But that was only on the surface.

Camrad_RIP 16.06.25 в 20:02

The other conscious new inhabitants of the palace were also far from calm, but thanks to the foreign will that bound their minds, they were more tense and focused than frightened. The cause of the general nervousness had been sitting at the head of the table for almost an hour, leaning forward slightly, resting her elbows on the tabletop, and pressing her forehead against the “Guarantee of Execution” clutched in her palms. Master's eyes were closed, he was practically motionless, and from the outside it might even seem that he had fallen asleep sitting up. But in reality, his mind was extremely far from the state of sleep, and even from normal wakefulness, having been pushed to the limit by mental practices to the point where there was a risk of injury.

Camrad_RIP 16.06.25 в 20:04

Moreover, at that very moment, this very mind was, in fact, outside the body. Because of this, the body was surrounded by three layers of protective fields and barriers. And next to it stood his two most valuable dolls, fully armed and ready to repel any threat. The palace of the dark elves was not quite in full siege mode, but all the defenses that could be activated without attracting attention from outside were in place. The matriarch's upper floor was completely isolated from the rest of the palace and, in fact, sealed from the inside. The meeting room where everyone had gathered was isolated from the rest of the rooms on the late matriarch's floor.

Camrad_RIP 17.06.25 в 06:22

No one really understood the reason for such precautions, including the indirect culprit of what was happening, who, sitting at the table, tried with all her might to keep up appearances and not show her tension and, to be honest, her fear. Overall, Violette managed to do so, as her years of experience managing a very serious organization involved in military-commercial enterprises and her natural business acumen came into play. Therefore, in order not to waste time, she literally ordered herself to pull herself together and start thinking. To analyze the situation. And try to understand what was going on!

Camrad_RIP 17.06.25 в 06:23

It all began almost immediately after Master received a mysterious message from another owner of the Tablet of Souls, which greatly disturbed him. Violet herself was shocked by Master's revelations, while involuntarily admiring the elegance of the elves, who had managed to turn the whole world upside down, but had kept silent about the most important thing. But before she could properly question Master, who had calmed down, and find out the details, he suddenly became agitated again. After that, without explaining anything, he urgently gathered all his subordinates on the matriarch's floor, where they all sat down in a natural siege, except that they did not block the passages with barricades.

Camrad_RIP 17.06.25 в 06:24

After locking the conference room from the inside and surrounding himself with additional personal protection, Master, who had not really explained anything, ordered everyone to stay where they were, be on alert, and forbade anyone to disturb him until he had ‘checked something.’ Before that, however, he took a minute to restore Datsius and Lenore's free will. This caused both of Violetta's children to almost have a hysterical fit mixed with panic when the initial shock wore off and they began to realise what was happening. Lady Edelhart had to work hard to bring them to their senses and literally force them to calm down. The fact that she had kept her offspring on a tight leash before helped her quite a bit in this regard. Once she had managed to calm them down more or less and explain the situation to them, Violetta focused on the main pressing problem.

Camrad_RIP 17.06.25 в 19:00

What had so alarmed Master? The most obvious answer was the message from this mysterious other possessor of the Tablet, who, as it turned out, was the very guest from another world. But what could he have written to Master that caused him to be so alarmed? It is understandable why he was very upset that this foreigner, from whom, according to his own words, he had received his power, had survived. Who would be happy to have such a rival? Violetta herself did not have the warmest feelings toward competitors who interfered with her business. And if she had the opportunity, she would gladly get rid of them one way or another. But still... But still... Wasn't that reaction a bit too strong? Perhaps he was afraid that this surviving foreigner might reveal their new hideout? No, Master said that if the elves knew where he was, assault troops would already be storming in. So it must be something else. But what?

Camrad_RIP 17.06.25 в 06:25

Still pondering what had so frightened Master in the message he had received, Violetta felt Datius tug at her sleeve. Sighing inwardly, Lady Edelhart slipped on the magnificent dark blue dress she had been given from the wardrobe of the dark elf who lived here with a couple of smooth movements of her shoulders. Although it was a somewhat unusual cut for a native of the Free Cities, the material was beyond praise, literally caressing the skin. However, it was a little too big for Violetta in the chest, even though she had never complained about her figure.

Camrad_RIP 17.06.25 в 06:26

However, this was for the best, as it allowed her to free her ample breasts with minimal effort. Moving slightly away from the table, she made room for Dacius, who immediately knelt in front of her, leaned forward, and latched onto her breast, just as he had done in his distant childhood. Placing her hand on her son's head, Violetta leaned back in the sturdy chair, closing her eyes in pleasure that spread rapidly throughout her body. What had upset him so much... What? Surely the message... But what had they told him... What... Mmmmm... Good... question...

Camrad_RIP 17.06.25 в 19:01

Actively working with his tongue and helping himself with his hands, Dacius made Violetta lose touch with reality for a few seconds, overwhelmed by pleasure. Throwing her head back towards the ceiling, she bit her lip, clutching her son's hair with her palm as he continued to suck her breast. Pressing his face into her breasts, Lady Edelhart brought her legs together, tensing her thighs. How... good...

Camrad_RIP 17.06.25 в 19:01

"We fucked up..."

Camrad_RIP 17.06.25 в 08:04

Master's quiet voice, tinged with doom, instantly brought the woman to her senses, causing her to open her eyes wide and sit up straight in her chair. Lenora jumped up in her seat, looking at their kidnapper and recent master with obvious fear. Dacius also looked up from his mother's breasts for a moment, casting a frightened glance at Master. But almost immediately, his face became indifferent, and he returned to his previous activity, paying no attention to anything. However, Violetta did not pay any attention to him either, turning to her new... business partner, who looked as if he had been hit over the head with a dusty sack. Coughing, Lady Edelhart asked:

Camrad_RIP 17.06.25 в 06:27

"May I ask, venerable Master, what did you mean? And what is the reason for all... this?"

Camrad_RIP 17.06.25 в 08:04

Violet attempted to sound as professional as possible, but to her annoyance, she was unsuccessful due to the renewed waves of pleasure caused by Dacius' lips and tongue tormenting her breasts. Turning to her, Master glanced strangely at Violetta, then let out a loud sigh and leaned back in his chair. Or rather, it was the former chair of the matriarch, a luxurious piece of furniture with comfortable armrests and soft upholstery. Throwing back his head, he closed his eyes and massaged them with one hand, while continuing to hold the ‘Guarantee of Fulfilment’ in the other, as Violetta and the rest of the assembled crowd waited patiently for an answer. A dozen seconds passed, and then Master suddenly straightened up and unexpectedly spoke in a strangely cheerful voice, looking straight into Lady Edelhart's eyes:

Camrad_RIP 17.06.25 в 19:03

"You know, Violetta, at the moment when you found a way to give our relationship a second chance, I cursed myself for having decided to give it to you on a stupid whim. After all, by doing so, I deprived myself of the pleasure of turning you and your children into adorable living toys."

Camrad_RIP 17.06.25 в 06:28

At these words, Lenora paled even more, literally clutching her mother's hand, which she had been squeezing all this time, afraid to let go. Violet also shuddered inwardly, but still, as she had hoped, managed to keep her composure, and then said in a firm, businesslike, but at the same time polite voice:

Camrad_RIP 17.06.25 в 06:28

"I can only imagine your disappointment, but I sincerely hope our cooperation will eventually convince you that this was not a mistake, but..."

Camrad_RIP 17.06.25 в 08:07

“What are you saying, what are you saying, my lovely Violetta,” Master interrupted her, stopping her with a movement of his free hand.

Camrad_RIP 17.06.25 в 08:07

He leaned forward and smiled strangely. The expression on his face and his voice made Lady Edelhart feel uneasy, and Lenora even began to tremble.

Camrad_RIP 17.06.25 в 08:08

"I ALREADY don't regret that I decided to follow my whim and gave you that chance, and you, in turn, were able to take advantage of it."

Camrad_RIP 17.06.25 в 08:09

Swallowing, because Dacius continued to literally squeeze milk out of her breast without paying attention to anything, Violetta asked, trying to maintain the same polite and businesslike tone:

Camrad_RIP 17.06.25 в 08:09

"It is pleasant to hear such words, but may I ask what made you change your mind so quickly, venerable Master?"

Camrad_RIP 17.06.25 в 08:13

He chuckled strangely and, leaning back in his chair again, said in a strangely cheerful voice:

Camrad_RIP 17.06.25 в 08:13

"Of course you can, my dear Lady Edelhart! And I'll even answer you! I completely changed my mind about the new beginning of our relationship with you because if it hadn't happened, I, with a high degree of probability, would never have noticed what a huge ass I got into! What an ass we all got into! And, most likely, sooner or later, we would have repeated the sad fate of the inhabitants of this beautiful palace."

Camrad_RIP 17.06.25 в 08:14

Hearing these words, Violetta became even more alert. What did he mean? Turning her head slightly, she glanced quickly at the dark elf standing frozen at the entrance, who, as she had learned, had also been freed from mental control by some whim of Master. The elf, apparently, understood no more than Lady Edelhart herself. And Master's other toys, who remained under his complete control, judging by their puzzled and wary faces, did not understand where their master was leading them. He glanced mockingly at the assembled group and, turning back to Violetta, asked in the same strangely cheerful voice:

Camrad_RIP 17.06.25 в 06:30

"Don't you understand what I'm talking about? Even you, my lovely Lady Edelhart?"

Camrad_RIP 17.06.25 в 15:45

Something in his voice really bothered Violetta. It reminded her of her own voice when she talked to her subordinates who had messed up but didn't know about their mistakes and the punishment coming their way. Frowning, she honestly tried to understand what kind of ass Master was talking about, and what did the dead inhabitants of this cursed underground city have to do with it? After all, the monster that had devoured them had itself sunk into the abyss thanks to the Sun-faced Herald, as Master himself had said.

Camrad_RIP 17.06.25 в 06:30

At the thought of the monster from the depths, the images of the battle she had seen, Violetta felt a vague uneasiness. It was as if she had overlooked some small detail, but a very important one. Frowning even more deeply, Lady Edelhart tried to understand what was troubling her, but to no avail. Apparently, her thought process was too clearly reflected on her face, because Master, with a sympathetic sigh, said in a thoughtful voice:

Camrad_RIP 17.06.25 в 06:31

"Well, as I thought. Although it was expected..."

Camrad_RIP 17.06.25 в 08:14

"Venerable Master..."

Camrad_RIP 17.06.25 в 08:14

Pausing for a moment as Dacius squeezed her breast especially hard, Violetta exhaled heavily, but still found the strength to continue in an almost unshaken voice:

Camrad_RIP 17.06.25 в 08:15

"...may I ask...what threat...are we talking about?"

Camrad_RIP 17.06.25 в 08:15

"Of course you can!" Master smiled sadly.

Camrad_RIP 17.06.25 в 08:15

"Although, you know, it’s quite funny to hear this question from you, considering that you pointed it out to me!"

Camrad_RIP 17.06.25 в 08:16

Frowning, Violetta tried to comprehend what Master had said. What was she pointing at? What was he talking about? Biting her lip, Lady Edelhart tried with all her might to understand what Master meant, and for a moment it even seemed to her that she had almost grasped some elusive detail. But a new wave of pleasure caused Violetta to lose touch with reality again for a few moments. When she caught her breath and the sated Dacius left her alone, the feeling of having missed something completely disappeared. No matter how hard Lady Edelhart tried to find it again, honestly straining her memory, it was all in vain. Pulling her chest back, she shook her head and said in a restrained, polite voice:

Camrad_RIP 17.06.25 в 06:32

"Frankly, venerable Master, I don't quite understand what you're getting at..."

Camrad_RIP 17.06.25 в 08:16

He smiled sadly and raised his finger meaningfully, like an Academy teacher at a seminar:

Camrad_RIP 17.06.25 в 08:16

"That's the point! True, only partly... Well, come closer to me... Although no, you can all stay where you are, I'm quite enough for one office without preparation. Now..."

Camrad_RIP 17.06.25 в 08:17

With these words, Master began to perform some kind of magic. Violetta was unable to understand what kind of weaving he was creating because of his personal protection, multiplied by his own masking of subtle bodies. But even if they weren't there, she would hardly have been able to figure it out, as the difference between them turned out to be too great. The process took about ten seconds, after which a thin wave of light rushed out from Master in all directions, rolling across all the walls, floor, and ceiling, covering them with a thin translucent film. Some kind of barrier? It didn't seem so. It was too thin, and the weave was unfamiliar and practically imperceptible, unlike the usually rather heavy protective magic. While Violetta, who had switched to magical vision, was trying to understand what Master had done, he, assessing the results of his work, spoke thoughtfully, thinking aloud:

Camrad_RIP 17.06.25 в 06:33

"That should be enough... It would be possible to close it more tightly, for reliability... Although no, it's not worth it, then the loss will be too obvious, it could be noticeable..."

Camrad_RIP 17.06.25 в 08:25

Turning to Violetta and her children, who continued to look at Master with fear, he asked again in a cheerful voice:

Camrad_RIP 17.06.25 в 08:26

"Well, shall we try again, Lady Edelhart? I'll give you a hint: how did our new relationship begin?"

Camrad_RIP 17.06.25 в 08:26

Frowning, sensing an obvious catch, Violetta slowly began to answer the obviously obvious question:

Camrad_RIP 17.06.25 в 08:26

"Since I warned you about..."

Camrad_RIP 17.06.25 в 09:50

She stopped mid-sentence and opened her eyes wide. She even opened her mouth in shock. Master, who was watching her, smiled grimly:

Camrad_RIP 17.06.25 в 09:56

"Got it? Realized it?"

Camrad_RIP 17.06.25 в 09:57

"Damn... But... How... How... Why... I..."

Camrad_RIP 17.06.25 в 09:57
