Second Night: The Fondler (Lilyan night)

Second Night: The Fondler

Lily woke up alone the following day. James was already out doing his own business and he left her alone. The sun shone through window of the luxurious manor as the indolent princess yawned from her bed. When she woke up, she was startled as she was alone in unfamiliar room unlike her own bedroom. Then, reality hits her as she realized she was no longer a princess, but a prisoner in foreign land.

“Ah, yes. I am a prisoner now.” She muttered. “My home is gone, the capital was occupied by the Red Nation.”

She was a fourth princess of the Blue Nation. However, her older sisters was not in capital when it fell. Unlike her, her sisters was not indolent. One of her sister, a paladin level 179 fell a year before the capital fell. And her other sisters was married to White and Yellow Nation’s princes. The crown prince and the king fell when John conquered the capital, she was alone now. Only two estranged brother left from her family.

“Lily please step aside. Nyaa.” A maid greeted her from behind as she was indulging in her melancholy.

“Eeek!!” She shrieked in surprise. She thought she was alone, apparently she was not. Like a rat trapped in a corner, she gazed at her in fright. But her gaze softened as she gazed toward the cat tail on her back. she was glad the king assigned at least one maid to her. Moreover, an animalkin! She smiled as she greeted her, “Are you here to serve me?”

"Meow? Nyo way! I've come to tidy up this space and offer you some delectable treats. So, would you kindly move away from the cozy bed? I must attend to his royal highness's chamber." she said while putting her hands in akimbo. Lily tilted her head in confusion.

“Nyaw. Are you hungry? Right here!!” she put a plate filled with steak and cup filled with milk on the floor. She smugly said, “As his majesty’s new pet, you need to eat on the floor!!”

“Okay!” Lily obediently nodded. The insult went over her head. The catgirl’s jaw dropped to the floor when the princess simply affirmed her orders. No untrained princess or nobles has ever even listened to her before. Lily laid sprawled on the ground beside the bed as she drank her milk. The steak has no fork. She then improvised with her salad to pick the steak so her hands would not get dirty and she ate it while smiling. She was known as the indolent princess, neither etiquette nor pride availed her.

“Have you been trained by his majesty? In only a day?” The Catgirl spoke out.  She was confused because Lily seemed like she was still sane.

“What training? No. I haven’t been trained by anyone.” Lily answered innocently. That was true, this was her usual nature in her own bedroom that only her previous maid knew.

“Alright. Stay there while I clean.” The catgirl spoke. After she cleaned the room, Lily sudenly hugged her from behind.

“Nyaa!!”

“Ahh. An animalkin!! When you clean this room I could not resist these ears and tail any longer!” Lily exclaimed as she started to nudge and caress the fluffy ears the catkin had.

“Nyaa!! Don’t touch me!! aren’t the nobles and royals supposed to hate mixed breed like us?!!” The catgirl was thrown for a loop.

“Come on. You knew that was a political pretense! If we truly hate you, how come you could even work here?” Lily said as she started to tickled the cat ears the catgirl had. This send a jolt of electricity as the catgirl moaned. “here, here, I am quite good at this.”

The catgirl quickly stopped her as her face grew red. She was surprised by how easy she stopped Lily’s hand. Most royals were high levels, but since she was able to stop her, that means she was considerably higher leveled.

“Alright. I am done cleaning. Byebye!” She stormed out.

“Wait! Please tell me your name!” Lily asked but she was ignored as the maid quickly left.

“There she goes again… I wonder why all these beastkin seemed to avoid me.” Lily whispered as she looked out to the window and see skyscrapers and magiplanes flying above it.

“Why did we lose?” Lily whispered. She was an outcast in the royal court, so she didn’t even knew they were losing the war before the knights in foreign armored suit drove into the palace.

It was weird to call the place she inhabited a castle, the concrete wall plastered with wallpaper with vibrant colors denied such medieval structures. Fortress was invented fifty years ago. However, kings and nobility didn’t like them, so they build a mansion inside them. However, since this is a capital, The mansion was surrounded by a simple wall. Unlike her mansion back inside the Bluebox nation, the wall were thinner and shorter. It was there merely for the looks. Even a level fifty human would be able to break through it. Because she was bored, she squandered around the room where she was imprisoned. Soon, night came and James came back to her room, ready to indulge her again.

“Alright. entertain me!” He said as he sat down on the luxurious bed. Staring at her, menacingly. “You can start by stripping!”

Lily was afraid. Her heartbeat thumped faster at his gaze that seemed to lick her body from head to toe. Her gray matter quickly spun up a way to get out of this predicament while cursing herself for being a fool. She didn’t even think of a way to escape from this prison at all during afternoon

“Ah… well….”

“Oh, are you flustered? You can start by drinking this potion.” James Syahrar put out his potion on the table. The mere presence of the pink liquid inside the glass bottle was enough o sent shivers down her spine. She desperately searched of a way to save her purity.

“Ah!! Did your highness forgot? We haven’t finished the story from before!” Lily quickly remembered how she got out from her predicament yesterday. She didn’t know what kind of bullshit she will tell him now, but she have to spun some words as her life literally depended on it, just like when an authors met with deadline on their work.

“Oh! That certainly slipped out form my mind. So, how is the rapist?” James said as he remembered the serial rapist called Mr. Smith. Since this work is a third person view, we renarrated Mr. Smith’s name, so the audience could remember. However, Lily, being an indolent girl just like us has forgotten his name and only remembered there was a rapist somewhere inside the court or facing legal problems and were using tale of loaned boobies as his defense.

“Ah. The rapist told the court that tale to prove that the sexual harassment he has done were just.” Lily started her tale. James looked at her coldly.

“You know, In what part of the court did he speak his defenses like that? The only place where defendant could speak freely was in trial. However, what question does the judge or the prosecutor attorney asked the defendant?” James tilted his head.

“Ahem… this story does not belong in either Redbox or Bluebox. It does not even belong in LitRPG Continents.” Lily said. She tried to fuddle her way through the enormous critical research failure that was pointed by James.

“I see. Continue. How do their legal system functioned?”

“The victim and the criminal have their case presented in front of the judge and then they spoke their accusation and defenses. Then, the judge decided the verdict.” Lily spoke out. James was weirded out by the lack of laws, prosecutor, and attorneys, but he continued to listen. After all, if he continued to whine, the story will not progress.

“Alright, continue.” James sighed. He was disappointed since she her story was lacking research in many area, but he decided to humor her. It was fun looking at her flustered and panicked face.

“Ahem. The story began when the criminal was caught molesting a female. The female reported to her parents after the assault was done. The parents, anguished by the fact that their daughter was sullied tried to appeal to the judge and was challenged for trial by combat by the man. However, even though the father was high leveled, his daughter was not and since the parents was not a direct victim, if they continued, their daughter will not only be sullied but also died. And thus, they appeal too the judge and tried to gather evidence.

“Then the trial was held. The case became famous and even mayors came to watch the proceedings. And when the defendant were given the chance to defend themselves, he told such a tale to the audience. And then closing it with a statement. “Women are part men. We are supposed to be one, I did her no harm. The term violation or harassment is grossly overexagerated since I did no violent action nor I disparage against her. I merely touched her body and appreciated it,” He said full of confidence.

“Then, it is time for the judge to hear the victim’s plea. Before that, a recess was in order, but it was clear the judge was in favor of the defendant. Moreover, the masses, dominantly males, were also sympathetic to the cause of the defendant.”

“So, did Mr. Smith win the court?” James asked. Unlike Lily, he did not forgot her story. With his per [Perfect Memory], he remembered every detail. Moreover, with his skill [Analyze] he was intrigued with the result of the court.

“Well, I would like to continue the story. However, the night almost passed. I didn’t want to disturb your morning routine…” Lily said. The time was only midnight. The indolent princess usually capable to stay awake until morning reading light novel or playing games back in her castle. However, her gray matter was already empty and her head hurt from too much thinking to conjure the story just now, so she tried to plea with him to wait the story for tomorrow.

“Well, true. I have an appointment at six. alright, good night.” James turned on his magiphone to look up his schedule and sighed as he relented to sleeping. Even when his skill [Fast Sleeper] were active. He would still need to wake up at four tomorrow unless he wanted to skip his morning practice.

Lily looked at him sleeping. However, unlike yesterday, she dared not to sleep in the same bed as him. And thus, she sat on a chair like a statue. However, her tired body and the lull of the night didn’t let her to be awake for long and thus she slept while resting her bed on the table before her.

And so, the second night of Lily passed with her still retaining her purity.
