《The King is Back》Chapter 26 - Art of Seduction
Advertisement
The event at my mansion seems to be going extremely well. Guests from all over the country and even foreign nobles have come. With this, the reputation of my house will increase even further. I had hoped that the crown princess would have accepted the invitation to come here and meet my son William. But I know that the princess does not particularly like my son very much. Well, that's a non-issue for now. I have been an extremely important asset for King Leo so far in my career. I am sure that he will give my son a chance to be the crown princess's fiancee. After that happens, even if she complains, she won't be able to do anything but accept her fate.
"Duke Erlington. A guest from Amstergard wishes to meet you" I hear a voice calling out to me from behind as I sip this exquisite wine I received from a foreign noble. I turn around to see what the fuss was about. It was my butler calling out to me.
"Who is it? Everyone is here to meet me tonight" I muttered in annoyance. What makes this person so special that he can request a sudden audience with me like that?
My butler leans in towards me and starts to whisper.
"D-Duke Erlington. You don't understand. It's a noblewoman. And she's YOUR type"
After hearing his words, I see the person standing behind him waiting. Oh, Goddess Regal...
What I see is the most beautiful creature I have ever laid my eyes on. Compared to this angel, all of my wives and concubines are akin to dirts on a road, a speck of nothingness in the view of everything standing in front of me. Her sweet smile that could melt Mithril give rise towards the dragon sleeping inside my undergarment. The silky brown hair of caramel color seems as smooth as a baby's bottom. That voluptuous, hourglass body and the twin mountains with a deep valley in between....sweet Regal...I must have her....TONIGHT.

I get down on one knee, take her hand, and kiss it gently.
"It seems my dragon has finally found a beautiful cave to rest in. May I ask your name, my fair maiden?" I said with my utmost charismatic voice which is very reminiscent of my golden years.
"Hohoho...you're quite naughty and straight to the point, Duke Erlington. This maiden's fair name is Angelica. I hail from the land down under, Amstergard"
Her voice is like the enchanting sound of the sirens in the sea, trying to lure sailors towards their death. Must I also be entrapped by her spider net? Yes, I am willing to even die if I can get a taste of her once.
"Angelica...such a fitting name. Why did you want to meet me?" I asked as I remember that she was the one who set out on meeting me.
"I want to talk with you...privately...preferably in your room" As she said that, her hand grabbed my groins and stroke it gently. I gulped. It seems that I will be getting some action with the most beautiful woman tonight.
"O-o-of course. Come with me" I muttered excitedly.
I motioned her to follow me upstairs towards the fourth floor, where my room is.
After walking a short while, I and Angelica arrived in my room.
"Knights. Guard the outside of my room. DO NOT let anyone bother us" I ordered.
"As you wish, Duke Erlington" The knights replied in unison while smiling. They knew what was about to happen.
I start to open my room and walk inside. Surprisingly, Angelica was the one to close the door behind us. It seems that her intention is clear. I hurriedly start to unbutton my fancy suit.

"Let's go big boy" She said in a seducing voice. I gulped again.
She approach me and kiss me on the lips with such fire that the white substance within my dragon below have already been released prematurely. But then I start to feel strange.
"W-what is this?" I suddenly feel very dizzy. The world around me was spinning. The last thing I remember was her bewitching smile.
"Tee-hee. I did it." Qey said excitedly.
Duke Erlington was still standing right in front of her with a blank look on his face. Her hypnosis battle force worked. Her power would only work if the person is in a highly suggestible state. In this case, she utilized his lust, her main trick in manipulating men.
"You. Tell me where the keys to the basement where you kept the girls is" Qey lost her seducing tone and changed it into a commanding one.
The Duke then walked towards his bed, looked under it, and pulled out a wooden box. He opened it and hand Qey the key.
"Hehe....great. Now, this is very important so listen carefully. I want you to go downstairs, gather ALL of your guests, and confess your crimes of kidnapping the girls to everyone. I want you to include every little details. And oh, perhaps you should also reveal every dirty secrets you have as well. Understand?"
The Duke nodded.
"Good. Now go. Tell the knights on every floor to also go gather in the ballroom." Qey ordered and the hypnotized Duke got to work.
Coincidentally, or perhaps it was already planned, the window of the Duke's room was right above where Toziro and the strike team was waiting in. Qey jumped from the fourth floor towards the ground below. She landed gracefully and did not receive any injuries.
"Ah, the fucking Black Cat" Bima muttered after noticing her arrival.
"Don't call me that! I don't like that nickname people gave me!" Qey complained.
"Heh." Bima snickered as a reply.
"We don't have much time. Do you have the keys, Qey?" Toziro asked.
Qey pulled out the keys from her cleavage.
"Here it is~," Qey said in a cheery voice.
"Great. Let's rescue the girls" Toziro ordered and everyone got ready to enter the mansion.

Essence Eater (A Super Progression Fantasy)
Gods. Demons. Aliens. Superheroes. Supervillains.Consume them all for power. Eighty years have passed since WW2, when Prime took to the skies and ended the war. No one knows what gave him his power, or what birthed the wave of supers that came after. Some claimed the nuclear bombs dropped in Japan cracked the barrier between Universes, allowing alien energies to enter the dimension. Others believed the wars finally triggered what humanity needed to reach a new stage of evolution. Daniel Das lives with his uncle in post-super London, the League of Hero's primary hub. He's spent all of his twenty-one years pushing himself, training in martial arts and studying supers, hoping he'll awaken his metagene and gain super powers. The cut-off age is close, but he hasn't yet awakened superpowers. Meanwhile, the League is steadily losing parts of the city to the growing villain factions. Daniel's uncle wishes to keep him away from the world of supers, but with the hot zones closing in, that's easier said than done. There are villains selling unregulated superpowers to gangs and dark days are on the horizon. Despite his limitations, there is no stopping Daniel. He is ravenous for power. If needed, he will ally with demons if they give him the power to protect his family and home. -------------------------------- This world building is heavily inspired by Worm and The Boys. It features dark, realistic storylines, corporation-funded heroes, and villains who aren't necessarily bad guys. The protagonist's powerset involves the crowd-favourite consuming enemies for power trope, too. The GameLit/LitRPG elements are super light and takes a while to kick in. The powercreep is slow as well since I don't enjoy overpowered protagonists. Chapters everyday until book 1 is complete. The schedule will change once I reach that point.
8 370The King (Kralyat)
Balhkara – a kingdom once known for its glory and beauty before corruption and exploitation left its people gobbled up by hatred and greed. Twenty years ago, that kingdom lost its last King and since then it had been slowly sinking in an endless pit of abyss. Even though no one knows how the King died and who was responsible for the royal family’s demise – story has it that the late King was betrayed by someone close. One version of the story has it that his second wife was a spy and killed him, then burned his children during the infamous “Palace Accident”. Another version has it that a maid was jealous of the Queen and poisoned the whole family. With time passing, the story twisted further and blurred in with people’s imagination to the point that no one truly remembers the initial version. Interesting enough, one day three hunters from Balhkara receive a mysterious invitation for a private mission to look for a missing person. Upon meeting the employer, they learn that the Prince of Balhkara is still alive. Will they manage to find the Prince? Will that Prince, however, return to his rightful place and restore the glory of Balhkara? A story full with adventures, moral dilemmas that creates an allegory of today’s world and its state.

This is the story of Alyssa and Mireille, two girls in a world of Magic. They are forced to leave their homes by differing circumstances and must come to terms with their own magical abilities and the problems those bring. Alyssa is hunted for what she is, while Mireille is not certain what and who she wants to be but drifting along is not an option when her life is on the line. They live in a world that is torn by strife where humanity is not the pinnacle of existence. This is a world of high fantasy. It is my first written story. I am a non-native speaker. I will not go out of my way to shock people but the content will at times be traumatizing for sensitive people. At the moment I would guess the story to be PEGI 16 perhaps? It's light on the profanity at least? Cover from unsplash.com
