Will of Сhaos

Chapter 115: New servants

After leaving the slave trader we went straight to our mansion, on the way I was thinking about what to do with these slaves.

I’m not going to turn everyone into Vampires, I’m going to try to do the same I did with the girls only, maybe none of them become Vampires, except for the two Humans, these two I’m going to turn into Twilight Vampires or better I’ll leave with the brothers.

I don’t want to turn that family of slaves into Vampires so I won’t use the Vampire Servant skill on them.

But Dark Elf, she was in very bad shape, her body is covered in scars, she was missing one of her eyes and walked limping, but after I use my abilities she should fully recover just like the others.

I’ve gathered everyone in the mansion’s downstairs ballroom, to do this, I’ll separate the two humans for now and let the brothers transform them later, the others I’ll take care of now after I convince them.

“I’ll start introducing myself and the rest of my group.” (I)

“My name is Zenos, make no mistake about my appearance, I am not a child.” (I)

“These are my family, Ibuki, Érica, Diana, Kira, Irina and her brother Irius.” (I)

“You can introduce yourselves now.” (I)

I may have bought slaves, but I will not treat them like slaves, each of them will be an important employee to me, they will help with the tasks we will need and they will be rewarded for it, I cannot give them a salary now, but after our group is earning as well as adventurers I will pay them, they will also have a house, one of the requests for the renovation of the mansion was that inside the mansion land I wanted to build a place for the employees to live, to my surprise this mansion already had a place like that so it just needed to be renovated, they will live there.

I wanted to introduce each member of my group and establish a relationship with everyone since we’ll see each other every day from now on, I pointed to each person in my group saying their names for them to remember.

After asking them to introduce themselves, the first one to step forward was the White Elf Freya, she takes a step forward, presenting herself in a refined and calm way.

“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Zenos, my name is Freya and I will be your maid from now on.” (Freya)

“It’s a pleasure to meet you Freya.” (I)

Then her daughter and the Beast Man step forward too, her daughter with a worried face and the Beast Man with a serious face.

“Um… nice to meet you, my name is Caryna, I will do my best to serve you.” (Caryna)

“My name is Leo, I apologize for not being polite like Freya and Caryna, but I will do my best to serve you.” (Leo)

“You don’t need to worry about formal conversations with me, I prefer that you talk as normally as possible, I’m not noble to worry about this nonsense.” (I)

“I heard you Leo has a relationship with Caryna, is that true?” (I)

For some reason, Caryna shows fear in her eyes when I say this and Leo has a worried look on his face.

“My old master allowed me to marry her, we didn’t have a ceremony since we are slaves, but we live happily for a few years” (Leo)

“You are a lucky man, always remember to value what you have and take good care of each other.” (I)

At my words Caryna started to cry and had to be comforted by her mother in a hug to calm down, Leo let out a small sigh of relief and looked at me with respect for the first time.

“Thank you very much, sir, you can be sure I value my wife very much.” (Leo)

When Leo said those words Caryna steps out of her mother’s arms and hugs Leo’s big body as she cries.

“I don’t understand, why is she crying?” (I)

“Let me clarify your doubts Mr. Zenos, my daughter, and your husband was afraid that you would forbid their relationship.” (Freya)

“Why would I do that?” (I)

“Normally the relationship between slaves is not approved, our former master was a good person, he treated the slaves well and allowed my daughter’s relationship, he only sold us because he was too old and got sick, he was afraid of what his family would do with us after he died.” (Freya)

“The old man was a very good one, but his sons were cretins, the old man wasn’t even dead and they talked about how Mrs. Freya and my wife would be sold at a high price on the Black Market.” (Leo)

“As Leo told my lord, our situation was not good, our former master knew that too, so he sold us to the slave shop of that Kingdom with an agreement that we could only be sold together.” (Freya)

“I wish I had your luck finding someone with such a good heart.” (Kira)

I was surprised by your story, but I won’t interfere in anyone’s relationship, but it seems this story affected Kira more, she spoke softly but I could hear her since she’s on my side, I put a hand on her back to calm her down.

“Are you okay Kira?” (I)

“I’m master, I just had some bad memories.” (Kira)

“I’m glad you feel comfortable telling me your story, I want you to know that I won’t interfere in your relationship, I want those who work here to be happy.” (I)

“Now three more people need to be introduced.” (I)

The Human man steps forward.

“My name is Nolan, I will be at your disposal from now on sir.” (Nolan)

“Nice to meet you Nolan.” (I)

“I’m happy to see that you’re not someone bad, after so much bad luck at the games I thought I would end up being bought by someone who would make me work myself to death.” (Nolan)

“By games do you mean betting games?” (I)

“Yes, I was out of a job and tax collection day was approaching, so I started to play with the little money I had to try my luck, first I made a lot of money and I couldn’t stop, but after a while I got zero and I even lost my house in betting, in the end, I had a big debt that I couldn’t pay and I ended up becoming a debt slave, I thought it would be the end of me.” (Nolan)

“(Didn’t know gambling existed in this world.)” (I)

“Gambling is never the solution, you’ll win at the beginning but in the end, you’re going to fail, you learned that the hard way.” (I)

sigh

“You are right.” (Nolan)

After Nolan turned back the Human woman took a step forward, she had a horrible burn on her face, I chose to buy her because I saw a strong desire in her eyes, I also saw a lot of darkness in her eyes, I don’t know her story but I hope to leave that darkness behind.

“My name is Alice, I am at your service sir.” (Alice)

“Nice to meet you Alice.” (I)

After introducing herself she turned back, so the Dark Elf woman steps forward with a limp.

“My name is Sophia sir, I will do what I can to serve you even with this damaged body.” (Sophia)

“Nice to meet you, Sophia, don’t worry too much about your current state, I can heal you.” (I)

“Is this true my lord?” (Sophia)

“Yes, but first you and the others will have to make a choice.” (I)

“From now on you are all my servants, not slaves, you will have a place to live and will be rewarded for your work in the future, also don’t have to worry that I will get rid of you, that won’t happen.” (I)

“You will have a lot of freedom to do whatever you want as long as you do your jobs, I only ask one thing from you and that is loyalty.” (I)

“I’ll give you some time to choose, know that there will be no turning back after your choice, if you don’t want to serve me I can return you to the slave trader to wait for someone else to buy you, so choose.” (I)

With my words everyone is quiet, I can see that they didn’t expect me to say that, to my surprise, the first to respond was Freya who knelt down with a slight smile on her face.

“For me, there’s nothing to hesitate, I’ve seen many people in my life and I’ve been paying attention to you since I saw you for the first time, I have no complaints about anything I could see, in fact, this is the first time I someone asks me if I want to serve them.” (Freya)

“That alone is enough for me, I will serve you.” (Freya)

Before I can say anything Caryna and Leo kneel down beside Freya.

“You’re someone my mother wanted to serve of her own free will, you’re also someone who didn’t look at me or my mother with lustful eyes, you even supported my relationship with Leo, I have no reason to think any further than that, I choose to serve you.” (Caryna)

“I’ve followed my instincts all my life, they’ve kept me alive, those same instincts are roaring inside me to kneel down, so I’ll serve you.” (Leo)

I was surprised that these three decided so quickly, but it makes it easier.

As Leo spoke I didn’t notice Sophia kneeling where she was, she waited for Leo to finish speaking before saying anything.

“If you can heal this body and allow me to go back to being a warrior, then I vow to serve you.” (Sophia)

“I’m happy with your decision.” (I)

After that Alice knelt and in the end Nolan also knelt.

“I don’t have a place to go back to and I find it hard to find another person who promised a slave such a good way of working, so I’m at your service.” (Alice)

“One thing I learned from betting is that luck doesn’t always smile on you, I won’t let that chance pass, so I choose to serve you.” (Nolan)

With everyone accepting, I feel calmer for the next step.
