"Ugh!"
'I feel like shit.'
Elias stirred in the bed, with painful groans leaking from his lips.
Even though he had woken up from one of the most comfortable sleeps of his life. He felt pain all over his body. His head was hurting, as if it might split in half any second, and his stomach felt full, completely overloaded, as he felt bloated.
The feeling of weakness drowned him, for he felt no power in his body as he shifted to the other side.
"What the hell was I doing...?"
Squish
"Eh?!"
Elias felt something press against his face. The feeling was quite nice and somewhat familiar.
His fingers twitched, resulting in the squishy feeling becoming more evident, as he felt some déjà vu.
It didn't take long, and Elias had already concluded what this human-sized, warm, living, plushy-like thing next to him was.
The leaking moan due to his fingers flexing around the plushy made the answer more obvious.
"Mmh!"
Opening his eyes, Elias stared with his hazel eyes. He was lying next to Sylphie, with her pressed against him as they slept curled up, while being completely naked.
Seeing the milky-white body of the maid, now riddled with the marks left by him, Elias felt his cock twitch. His morning wood was already ready for some action.
"..."
At the same time, he felt his brain become somewhat clear, just enough for the memories of the previous night to start clawing their way into his mind, clearing the haze and increasing the migraine in his head.
'Ugh!'
Scenes of rounds and rounds of sex came to his mind: sweat pooling, the maid drinking his cum in the filthiest way, and he filling her pussy with cum while acting completely different and out of his mind.
All of this made his eyebrow twitch.
'I am not drinking anymore.'
He swore as he snaked himself out of the maid's hold.
However, as he moved forward, he felt pain in his back.
'Fuck!'
Elias clutched his waist with one hand while planting the other on the bed like an old man, trying very hard not to scream.
'No, please, no!'
He prayed, but the pain was real.
'...Even in this life. I couldn't run away from this curse.'
Elias sighed as he felt he might cry any second. The pain came from Elias pushing his physical limit the previous night, a mistake he now reprimanded himself for.
But before Elias could overcome his pain or find some solution, he felt someone stir beside him. The maid was waking up!
Just as this information registered in Elias's brain, he was already sitting on the edge of the bed with his back straightened.
"m... My lord!—"
'Fuck! Shit! Jesus, Buddha, my back, my back! It hurts.'
The maid, oblivious to Elias's pitiful situation, sat up.
"—I am s-sorry, my lord. Without even knowing, I fell asleep on your bed. I have committed a great si—"
"Don't worry," Elias said, cutting through Sylphie's nonsense rumbling. "What happened, happened. Now go and prepare my meal; I want it ready before I freshen up."
He stood up, moving towards the bathroom. His steps were measured, his back straight, as he walked, making him look like a real baron.
Elias wanted to maintain his regal and dignified look despite being naked with a boner swinging around and...
'My back!'
"Yes, my lord," Sylphie said with a pleased expression as a smile graced her lips while she stayed in her position with her head bowed on the bed. Yet, her eyes sneaked a glance at the rock-hard cock of the baron. "I will do that right now."
'I am going to make you fall for me.'
She swore to herself as the lock of freedom rattled inside her head.
The key was not that far!

"My lord!"
Victor stood up from his chair, pushing it back with a khrr sound. His nephew was here once more, in his chamber.
It had been only a few days since he had come. However, he was here once again. Did something happen?
"How about we talk on the balcony, Uncle?"
His nephew suggested with a smile.
A smile?
His nephew was smiling. Was the plan working?!
Victor sneaked a glance at the maid next to him with the side of his eyes as he nodded.
"Yes, my lord."
Without waiting for Victor, Elias moved towards the balcony. Reaching the entrance, he turned and glanced at the maid with a smile.
"Can you bring us something refreshing to eat while I chat with Uncle?"
"Yes, my lord."
Sylphie bowed with happiness before sauntering away.

"How is everything going, Uncle?"
"It's going all well, my lord," Victor said, taking a sip of his tea. "There is nothing that you should worry about. Trade is flourishing, and people are obeying. The barony is stable, and I am doing my absolute best to take care of the territory."
"Mmh, I know, Uncle, I know," Elias smiled at Victor. "However, take care of your health too."
"I will, my lord."
Victor nodded as he turned to glance at Sylphie standing next to Elias.
"You can take your leave, Ms. Sylphie."
"Yes—"
Elias cut in with a shake of his head.
"Stay here," he said as he turned to look at the bowing maid. Before the maid could reply, he stopped with a sign of his hand and turned to look at Victor, who still sported his custom, warm expression.
However, Elias could feel a little change. Yet he dismissed it.
'It doesn't matter anymore.'
"Uncle, I need to discuss something, and I need her presence for it. As she will be accompanying me."
Victor nodded.
"Please feel free and speak, my lord."
"...You see, Uncle," Elias said as he removed his gaze from Victor. His eyes settled on his tea as he saw the glow in his hazel orbs. "I thought about what we talked about before, and..."
He once more turned to look at Victor.
"I concluded after days of thinking. I want to take a break," Elias smiled. "I want to go and tour some territories."
