Third Night:The Flying Boobies (Lilyan night)

Chapter 2

Morning came and James woke up from slumber. He woke up precisely at 4 a.m due to his perk [Biological Clock]. When he scanned his surroundings, he found the girl slept uncomfortably on the chair. He wondered why the girl slept there and not on the bed. The bed was large enough for both of them. The custom made king size bed was 2x2 meter in size. Tilting his head, he ignored her since that was not his concern right now. He was going to have a workout training this morning and went to the supposed meeting at dawn.

After training inside the special room for an hour, he stepped outside and swinging a sword for half an hour. Then, after shower, he walked back to his office. His manor of three stories high and over a hectare wide was huge and people often called it the Redbox’s Castle and it was also comprised of his office together with his henchmen.

“Sir!” The guard at his office saluted. When he reached his desk, he infused his mana into his personal computer. The computer booted up and with its enchantment [Mana Lock], it detected James’ mana and finally turned on, displaying FirePanda Operating System. If anybody else were to try to infuse their mana, the enchantment would reject them and then warned the house’s Security System.

After opening the computer, he infused more of his mana to open an application for hologram meeting. With this application, his hologram was present beside the computer pairing inside the court and if he wills it, he could see what the hologram see. There, the case about from yesterday’s Sexual soirée will be judged. James were invited to attend as a symbolic presence. But, him being the king was given a royal prerogative and thus can give royal pardon. Both sides were vying for him to either give royal pardon or denied clemency. The case was laughable to him and he could only facepalm at the case. However, he still needed to attend or he will risk both sides hating him.

The case started when a victim, The third daughter of a duke was two months pregnant the victim accused a count's nouveau riche son for the deed. The pregnancy obviously happened due to the party that happened two months ago. The victim’s family reported that the victim was on influence either from some kind of drug or alcohol. However, it was clear that the victim was unwilling on her pregnancy.

Being in such an unrestricted party, it was obvious what would happen. However, what made him confused was the fact that the girl was pregnant. Contraceptive magic or even outright primitive condom was easy to obtain. Why the count’s son didn’t use it was a mystery. From [Bio] Mage scan, the fetus inside the girl was 90 percent related to the said count’s son. However, since it was already two month’s ago, it was dubious that the girl was under influence.

If he analyzed the crime from motives, the convict would benefit from getting into higher ranked aristocrat. However, the victim’s family would also benefit from the count’s money. The judge has proposed for them to marry, However, the victim refused. The victim seek a child support and while the convict argued that the victim was also doing it with three other nobles and all of them were not coerced, meaning everything they did was legal.

“This is ridiculous. I have over ten sex slaves which I bed almost everyday in turn for two years and none of them got pregnant. How come this kind of mistake happened?” James sighed. But, he realized that this is no longer an accident. This was a plot, the most likely suspect is the duke faction.

Hmm, but should I really support the count’s son? James thought as he looked over at the court’s proceeding through the hologram.  The proceedings were in favor of the duke’s daughter but recess was on the way until more evidence were prepared.

When the silly case was over, his maids came to serve him late breakfast a he listened to his butlers’ and maids’ reports about his concubines and the estate’s conditions. Tilly, the catgirl that was tasked for keeping the princess fed was next to give her report.

“The princess is still sleeping. When I entered, she woke up and I did the cleaning. Then… as instructed, I fed her on the floor to humiliate her. She accepted obediently. Then… I came out.”

“Did she behave suspiciously? Like trying to get help or something like that?”

“No. She did not.”

“I see. Good work.” James replied. However, his [Lie Detecting] skills gave out a small alarm. This meant the maid hid something. However, since it was a small alarm, he let it go. He thought this maid probably kicked a bucket or broke a vase. It was not something to make a fuss about.

The day passed by until noon. In his breaktime, he wasted time on his skills and tried to train on it. He soon lifted his eyebrow as his [Detection] found something odd or the lack of it. The princess was not in his detection range. He closed his eye and expanded his sense. Mana surged out from his body, forming an invisible mist that filled out his room, then it surged outwards toward every nook and cranny of his estate. He scanned his surroundings, However, no matter how much he searched, he could not find her. He quickly rang a mana bell to call for Tiana.

“Did you call, Milord?” Tiana came ten minutes late.

“Where is princess Lily?”

“She was in her room thirty minutes ago. She asked me if she could stroll around the mansion and I let her.” She replied.

“Visual confirmation on her whereabouts and then report back to me. I want to see her.” James stroked his chin as he pondered about the result of his skill. Was the princess specialized in assassination? If not, then it would be weird for his [Detection] to not detect her.

“yes sir.”

Not even an hour later, the Tiana came back and just like she told, Lily was loitering in kitchen and looking out into the garden and sometimes stealing some cookies from the chef. However, even when she was right in front of him, his [Detection] still could not find her.

“Lily. Why are you here?” James greeted her from behind.

“Eeekk!” She squeled as she dropped the cookies she swapped from the kitchen.

“I was simply asking the chef when the lunch would be.” she stammered. Her suspicious attitude aside, his [Lie Detecting] skill didn’t give out any alarm.

“Let us have lunch.” James invited her. Suspicions aside, he was over level five hundred. He had confidence that no matter how strong she was, she would not beat him. Lily nodded down and followed him meekly. Words left unspoken between them and a loud silent noises permeated them on the way.

Lily was aghast as the luxurious dining room was presented before her. She didn’t know why or for what purpose James invited her. For the last two days, she was left on her own inside her golden cage. Why did he took the time now to invite her to a dinner?

Unlike her previous meal which consist of only a single plate of steak or a bowl of cereal, the lunch today was sumptuous. A roasted firebird was stuffed with vegetables and fruits, then an asparagous soup as an appetizer, then a cream cheese cake powdered with chocolate and grounded coffee. As if that is not enough, there was a spaghetti with black pepper sauce with grated cheese, then a clam chowder soup with crab. Then a humongous lobsters as big as Lily’s head all spread out at the dining table.

“Take your pick. After that, let us have a chat at the table.” This dining room was often used to hold parties or meeting with various VIP, so Lily understand that it needs to be spacious and luxurious. However, she didn’t see anyone having lunch with her.

What a waste to waste all of these food. Lily thought. Moreover, James didn’t even pick the food by himself. He ordered the staff to do it and

How opulent! What an arrogant king! Lily thought, unaware of her own indolency by using her maid to deliver food into her own bedroom even before she was become a prisoner.

The lunch was filled with awkward silence with the loudest noise came from their cutlery making clanging noise hitting the plate. In fear of James tyranny, even the guard or butler kept their mouth shut unless talked to which made the silence even more awkward. Hen James noticed the tense atmosphere, he asked asked Lily to continue her story.

“So, how is the continuation of Mr. Smith?”

“Mr. Smith w—” Lily shut herself as she was about to asked who Mr. Smith was. Only now that she finally remembered who Smith is. He was the character on her story. The one allegedly accused of sexual assault.

“Ah. Your highness wanted me to continue the story now?” Lily was sweating inside. She was not prepared for it. She was going to do the preparation now, but James beat her to it. She now has to adlib on the spot.

“Ahem. Last time Mr. Smith has delivered his defense and now, after recess it was the victim that was supposed to deliver her defense. But, the situation looked grim. With no way out, she finally spoke, “Your Majesty, I shall tell you the story of Flying Boobies.””

“Huh?” James said. His attention snapped at Lily’s incredible word usage. Lily was sweating inside and just pulled whatever was left on her gray matter. When she left the story last times, only the boobies stuck in her mind, just like us, and thus, she used it again.

“Yes. She said that. When Eve had her device installed on them. Their children didn’t inherited her device. It was as flat as a plain.”

“Huh? So, is the offender…” He whispered….

“Wait. Hold on for the story to finish.” Lily replied. She was sweating since she didn’t know what to say. She just ran her mouth without control. Like most author did with their stories.

“Ahem. So, where were we again?”

“It was when the victim spoke out their statement and the victim spoke out her story about flying boobies.” James said as he sipped another full spoonful of soup into his mouth.

“Ah yeah. So, continuing on, the story began when boobs were miraculously grew on adult females. Most people at the times were saying that the sign of your boobs growing is the sign that you grew into adult. The bigger your boobs, the wiser of a women you will be looked upon.” Lily narrated. However, she realized she made a huge mistake. There was nowhere to go from here. Will she tell about the victim next, or will she go on with the exposition dump? When will the story the girl told even started?

“However, the country was soon divided into two factions. The one that have, and the one without. Most men looked upon those that have. filled with jealousy, the ones without, knew how to trick them. They nabbed those that have and then, used a ritual against them. Then, those that have, have their things shrank. Those without expected those that have to share their bounty to those without. However, theirs remain flat while those that have shrank until it became the same as them.

“Those that have cried in sorrow as their device flew away to heaven and never returned. Moreover, they also joined those without and continued the rituals to those that have. Sensing the impending doom, those that have rallied the support of the men. However, the reality gave another surprise as conflict between men arose.

“There were not enough women that have for the remaining men. Then, those that have lose the competition switched side to those without. And so, the country was plunged into a real civil war. We call these civil war, the war of Legal Lolis.” Lily said. Before she continued on with her bullshit, James was called by his butler.

“Greetings your Majesty. I apologized for my rude behavior. But, your conference with a duke will commence in twenty more minutes.”

“Damn it. Those damn aristocrats.” James sulked as he threw away his napkin.

“Tell Tiana what you need. She is your personal maid.” Lily’s mood brightened at once when she looked at the genetically engineered catgirl before her.

The Third Day is over, but not the Third night.
