((Yeah, I know, but I'm/Alex is just wondering what's taking so long))
Alex stiffened as the ice captured him and he glared at Rhona. "Free us!" he ordered angrily, seeing his little angel suffering. "Free us now!" he commanded, and if Neko wasn't in the ice pool, would have blown himself free by now. He saw the door crack open, and he let out a sigh, before looking at Rhona. "Who are you?"
Lillia, restrain the girl! She trapped Neko and I in here! he ordered, and dropped the invisible wall for her. Be careful, she knows some magic, so make sure she doesn't have a chance to say anything, or cast any spells.
Lillia nodded and suddenly ducked to the side, silently, almost frighteningly so. Without magic or artifact, Lillia the slave had disappeared. Rhona was looking more and more exasperated by the second. "Please, just let me go, I promise you will never see me again, please sir-er master! Please, Im begging you, I dont want to do this!" She was basically begging for him to let her go.
As she said this, Lillia came up behind her, almost invisble in her stealth, and tapped her on the shoulder. Rhona jumped and turned around and Lillia kissed her deeply. At the same time, her legs flew out under them and tripped the girl to the side as she fell to the side, grabbing her hands as she did and twisting them behind her as she lowered her to the ground, her lips still pressed against her. She laid the girl down on her stomach, both her arms locked behind her now by one of Lillai's hands while the other kept her chin tilted back and to the side as to not break their kiss.
It all happened so fast the girl hardly understood it before she realized she was being kissed. Her face became red with a hard blush as Lillia pulled away, leaving a small trail of saliva linking their lips to one another. "Y-You-" that was all Rhona was able to say before Lillia shoved a strawberry scented sponge into her mouth. "Thats enough." Lillai said softly as she stroked the side of the girl's face, watching as Rhona's eyes became full of tears and she began to softly cry into her sponge.
If she was not a slave before, she soon would be and she knew it.
Alex raised his brow and was impressed with Lillia's skilled abilities. "Bravo, Lillia. That was very impressive," he said. He then looked at Rhona and glared at her. "If you free, Neko and I from this cold pool, I will have Lillia let you go. What do you say?" he asked, and if the girl nodded, he would look at Lillia and motion for her to take the sponge out of her mouth. "I'm warning you. I am a very powerful wizard. If you do not free me, I will crack your brain open and look for it myself...."
Rhona already looked terrified and nodded quickly, agreeing with whatever he said as long as it got her free. Lillia smiled at her master, happy to have pleased him and removed the sponge. Rhona coughed for a moment and stuttered "F-Fargna." The ice then slowly returned to warm water and Neko continued ti cry for her Paba. When she could finally move she clung to him and buried her head into whatever part of him she would reach and tried to hide from the scary water.
"C-Can I go now? Please master wizard sir? I promise you wont see me again, ever again, I will go far far away!" She begged and promised, still pinned to the ground by Lillia. She was an adept at magical use, and she had someones collar, though if it was hers or not was yet to be determined. Alex know nothing of this strange green haired girl that had been using their pool for free, wearing a slave collar but obviously not a slave.
Alex rose out of the water, his little bundle of joy in his arms. "It's okay," he whispered, petting her head, before walking over to Lillia and Rhona. He sat down in front of the fake slave and looked into her eyes, obviously not amused. "Explain yourself. You are not a slave, yet you have a slave collar. Why? Free baths? Is there something in this place you want? Explain yourself," he ordered.
Rhona cowered as much a she could in her restrained position, tears making a small puddle beneath her head. To add to that, her towel was slipping off, exposing her cute butt. "P-Please, I-Im so sorry..." She whimpered. Lillia sighed and twisted her arm painfully. "Owy...please dont-Ow!" "Answer the master or start losing limbs." Lillia said straight out, scaring Rhona even more. "I-I ju-Just, I...I dont have anywhere else to g-go." She said as she started to cry softly. Lillia gave her a moment before twisting her arm again. "Keep explaining!" Rhona grit her teeth until Lillia loosened up and said "Ok...OK, please d-dont twist my-Ow! Owy, please stop!" "Hurry up." Lillia said, twisting her arm again. Lillia had no tolerances for bad elves, and she knew her master wanted answers.
"OK! I-I was born here- OW!" "Impossible." Lillia said, twisting her arm even more. "Every babe and birth is overseen by the master, he would have had you in chains. Stop lying!" Rhona cried out again and wept softly. "Im n-not lying! I swear on my soul Im telling the truth!" She cried. Lillia shook her head and was about to twist her arm again. "P-Please dont, let me ex-explai-Ahhh!" Neko was not liking any of this and began to cry into her Papa's chest, hugging him with her small arms and trying to escape the yelling and crying. "Please....Please Im telling the truth." Rhona said weakly, completely defeated as she lay there on the floor.
Alex lifted his brow as Lillia turned into her submissive, and loving self, into a full blown warrior. He looked at Lillia and gave a mental message to her. Ease up on the elf, Lillia. Let her explain her full story. Besides, you're scaring Neko the message said, before looking at Rhona. "If you were born here, then how come you are not in shackles? Did you escape somehow?"
Rhona shook her head and cried a little more. "I-I was hidden...my mother...her name was Rhona, this is her collar." She said sadly. "M-My name is Sarah...I-I was born in secret, and the others took care of me and h-hid me...please d-dont get them in tr-trouble...its my fault for not leaving." She began to weep softly again. "I-I thought I could live here...since there are so many elves, I went unnoticed for this long...I learned a little magic from the library..and since my collar isnt mine, its dosnt kill my magic potential...I just wanted to learn enough to survive...its not easy leaving your home...Im sorry!" She turned her head towards the ground and soaked in the pool of her tears. Truly she was a pitiful sight.
Alex looked down at her with pity, and he sighed. "I'll give you two options. Stay here, and I will ease you into a life of a slave, and show you great pleasure. If your refuse that, than please, leave my mansion," he said.
Sarah shuddered and whimpered for a moment. "H-How long do I have to leave?" She asked. Although Lillia didnt say anything or show anything physically, she was burning up on the inside. The nerve! The nerve that this girl could be free for so long while she and everyone else were slaves from birth, and now she has the nerve to ask for time?! If it were up to her, she would hand her over to Arkurus and give him a full report so that she could receive proper punishment.
Lillia had never known freedom, the most free she had ever been was with her new master, and all though Alex treated her well, she was far from free. She couldnt own money or property, she couldnt go out and buy things or have a job or a family of her choosing, couldnt keep her children if she had any or chose a husband or see her sisters. She couldnt hug her mother, or take days off. She had even been broken into fearing freedom, and not seeking it ever, which is part of the reason she was such a good slave.
Still, Lillia's heart, like the heart of all living creatures, dreamed of freedom, one she would never achieve. And this girl, this horrible girl who has been free all along is pretending to be a slave to stay in a slave house?! There were just somethings that Lillia would never understand.
Neko didnt like any of this and hugged Alex as hard as she could with her arms and wings. She didnt like this hostility, this hate, this envy, this sadness. She wanted to go back to the room and play the harp or the lute or the flute. She wanted to make everyone happy with her musing. But she would have to wait.
However, even as this all happened, dark shapes began to sneak into the room, unnoticed and unseen...for now.
