《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.

The Emperor's Chef
"Cook like your life depends on it, kid. Because it does." Charles had an enviable future lined up for him. Training from the age of five by some of the finest chefs in the world. Schooling at a top culinary academy in the capital. An honorable position as heir to House Boulier, a line of merchant-lords who have charmed the rich and powerful with their cooking for centuries. And in a single night, it all burned to ash. When the outbreak of war destroys his hometown, Charles is charged with escorting his family’s sacred treasure—a recipe book passed down for untold generations—out of harm's way. But his simple mission grows complicated when he’s captured by one of the most feared battalions in the world: the Spears of Mercy. Life as a prisoner in their war camp is brutal and uncertain. Charles has few allies and even fewer strengths to rely on. Only his skills in the culinary arts, honed over a lifetime in the kitchen, are deemed useful enough to keep him alive another day. But he’s not out of hope just yet. With a dash of wit, a pinch of luck, and some very creative cooking, he might just find a way to recover his family’s legacy and take back his freedom. This project is a food-themed fantasy that centers on cooking and chefs. The setting spans a wide world featuring ingredients/recipes both real and inspired by traditional fantasy. I'll eventually be publishing it as a full-length novel (or series of novels depending on length). These are the first draft chapters. I'll likely be re-writing more than once, then editing before publishing, so impressions and feedback are quite welcome. If you like the story so far and you're interested in being an early reviewer for the final product, feel free to message me. I'm looking for an artist to make some concept art and a cover (the cover shown here is just a temporary placeholder). A stand-alone novel for now, but it may turn into a series down the road.
