Chapter 14

Right after we left the tower there was a bounty placed on me by the city guards, "Fire on that tower!" Owen turned and looked at me in surprise, this isn't how my father acted. No unfortunately I took after my mother, I may be able to understand business but I wasn't very skilled in it. My mother was the one who taught me viciousness, she would always tell me that money was great but if they gave you any reason at all to kill them you might as well do it now instead of later.

Owen thought to himself, 'How could she create a tiny version of herself." he still remembered a few of the bedtime stories he had overheard, horrifying stories that if you knew any better would have been listed as extremely graphic slasher novels, of course, there were other lessons that the mother had taught her son which turned him into a little fiend when it came to the ladies. The young man he was in charge of was going to decimate an entire squadron for a small provocation, he used to be more level headed but after the accident his anger flared up at the slightest provocation, though his mother would still be proud of him at least.

The ship began to turn so the majority of cannons would be able to face the tower, as the guns took aim the old man on the tower cursed as he felt the issued threat had backfired and was spinning out of control. Before he could ask a cease-fire and negotiate the cannons unleashed hell upon his men, he dodged a few shells here and knocked a few away but his men turned into puddles of gore and shit within five minutes.

After all his men had been killed the ship turned and flew lazily out of the city.

Back aboard the MoonStalker.

"Owen, whatever happened to the flagships' wreckage?"

He looked back at me with a raised eyebrow before elaborating, "it was salvaged, due to the extensive damage it would have cost more to repair than investing in a new ship and before you ask yes the B class cannons were destroyed though most of the C and D class cannons survived. We haven't sold them yet either, we just need to ship them from our scrap yard."

"Can we use pieces of the hull to upgrade the MoonStalker to a B class ship?" I was wondering if we can change this situation around and advance what we already had.

"HA! I wish but no young master, the engine you would need to power it would bankrupt us, the one on board was destroyed before we arrived. We could probably make it a very large C class which we could outfit with more cannons, but it would take the better part of a year to refit your ship."

Well that is disappointing, but at least we can use the cannons to fortify the manor. It only took us a few minutes to reach the manor in the ship, though we had to land in an empty practice field behind the manor until we could build a proper landing port for it.

I watched as materials and slaves were moved from the ship, while maids and servants came to the women and children giving them food and clothes. Large tents were being set up by the guards as we didn't have enough room to house everyone in the manor, a construction company had been solely hired for the purpose of building homes for the slaves.

Within an hour there was news that there would be delays and other shenanigans though no one broke their contracts as I might fly overhead and bombard them. We had signed plenty of contracts for tons of materials beforehand to avoid prices suddenly going up, most of my family's' enemies would just mess with shipping, delaying our projects but that was fine for now.

Some families were reunited while others were left without a reunion, though they did gather into groups of the same race. Humans, elves, beastfolk, and a few others would search for old and new companions. The Earth clan actively recruited wolves to join their ever-growing family, nearly 1000 slaves were either bought or stolen and each of them would receive similar offers.

Any race was allowed to band together and create a new clan if they were willing to become a subordinate clan to be raised by the Avarith house, while those who didn't want to join the clans could work off their debt and regain their freedom. For a majority of the slaves like women and children it would be about ten years of work per person, their freedoms wouldn't be encroached upon and after they were set free they would be able to find work easily in his territory.

There was the human group who wanted to join his guards, humans didn't form clans easily so he allowed them to buy their freedom from slavery with a five-year contract as guards. Human females who had no ability for combat would become maids or servants while children would become pages for the manor or apprentices to any craftsmen he could rope in.

The bigger picture was what mattered and slavery wasn't the answer, I may be willing to buy slaves but I don't want them to stay slaves. Work hard and earn your freedom or pledge yourself to my cause, either way, led to being free it was just the amount of time you were willing to spend to get it.

I walked around and saw Baine and a young woman having materials moved to a construction site near the manor, they had about a dozen children helping them carry the smaller packages, I would have to inquire about that later.

Sett had come to find me faster than I had thought, though she pulled me inside the ship instead of the manor, she wasted no time as she asked me where the captain's quarters were. Unfortunately, I didn't know where they were since it was my first time on the ship, about fifteen minutes later we found them. By the time we got there, I was missing my shirt while Sett had stripped down into her dark green underwear before the door was closed her soft lips met mine and she pulled me onto the bed.

She laid on top of me while we let our hands and lips wander over each other. I played with the large plush mountains until I found a small hard hill on top before I began to tease it for hiding. I heard her breath quicken and her hand made its way into my pants and began stroking me, I moaned lightly into her ear before I pulled her in and kissed her deeply. I could feel my body reacting, Sett pulled away and started pushing my pants down, her perfectly shaped ass was lifted slightly in the air and would jiggle slightly while she was playing with my belt.

While she was distracted I began massaging her tiny peach, she moaned and lost focus because I could feel her hands begin to fumble. I loved listening to her sweet moans while I played with her, only a few moments passed before I felt a warm and pleasurable sensation wrap around me, her head began moving in small bobs while her tongue would lightly touch the tip when she came up for air.

Nearly lost in the pleasure I almost missed the growing wetness of her panties, I slid them off slowly so I could fully see her. I guided her hips over my shoulders and parted her beautiful pink lips with my tongue, I could feel the slight shiver run through her lower body and the moan that got caught in her throat vibrating against me. I felt I was losing the battle so while I tasted her I began massaging her cute pink pearl, I could feel her sucking harder while her hand began stroking before she focussed solely on the tip.

I felt my lower abdomen tightening and I heard a soft gulping sound, when she sat up her muscles tensed and I could feel her cum on my chest, a few moments later she fell back onto me and lay there panting. I slowly ran my fingers along her back while she caught her breath, I noticed I was still erect which normally wouldn't bother me though I haven't ever seen my new member erect before, it was like meeting a best friend you didn't know you have but it was awkward because it was a new relationship.

My new member was just like my arms and legs, it was dark obsidian while there were veins of gold along the shaft. It was bigger than my original equipment which I guess I had the doctor to thank for that, the strange thing was it didn't feel like metal, to me, and apparently not to the beautiful woman in my arms I wondered how this living metal even came into existence.

As Sett began to catch her breath she moved to sit on top of me, she leaned down and kissed me. After a few minutes of enjoying her skilled tongue she whispered down to me, "Are you ready for round two?"

A knock came from the door as I was about to reply, 'if it's that maid again she can watch for all I care!'

"Who is there?" I called out.

Owens' voice answered back, "Young master, we have been trying to reach you on your tablet. There was an attack on the manor, goblins, there were a few injuries and two guards died during the ambush. Luckily we noticed them before they got close to the camp, otherwise, we would have had dozens more to bury."
