[Varkas Greybde's favortie daughter, Erose Greybde, is stuck at the peak tier-3 warrior realm for two years and has agreed to marry you if you help her break through her bottleneck, making you Varkas Greybde's son-in-w and heir to the position of City Lord of Tulens, which is a Marquis in the Erebium Empire. While the position carries many risks and responsibilities, the benefits and opportunities that would open to you far outweigh them. Erose's warrior talent is a legendary 6.3, surpassing her father's 5.9, and should theoretically have no bottleneck to the tier-4. —
"HOLY SHIT their talent is high." Rilden inwardly excimed.
While Rilden quickly improved his talent, that was because it was still low. He guessed that increasing it above 2 would be difficult to achieve in the city.
While shocked, the information kept flowing into his mind.
— As, her ck of emotional stimulus leads to energy stagnation, preventing her from having a breakthrough, and she could potentially be stuck in this realm until the day she dies. To break this stalemate, she needs a strong enough stimulus. Some rare and expensive drugs could work, but they are unavaible in this city. Several life-and-death battles would work, but only real ones would work for her, and those are difficult to come by. Love is also an option, but that emotion is difficult to arouse in her, and heartbreak would only happen if Varkas died. She has high pain tolerance and is frigid, so torture and sexual stimution are not effective. And no, humor won't work since she has a dry one and isn't ticklish. However, you can help her break through right here and now! And you will greatly enjoy the process! The best method to stimute Erose is to—]
Continuing to listen, Rilden, knowing nothing about warrior training, didn't understand the mumbo-jumbo about energy stagnation. But after hearing the solution, a strange expression crossed his face.
"Well, it would be interesting, but I don't know if I could keep my head after doing that..." Rilden warily thought.
"Oh? Did you find something?" Varkas asked, paying attention to Rilden's expressions.
"I... yes. I believe Miss Erose cannot break through due to energy stagnation. If not treated, she would be unable to break through for her entire life...
The expressions of everyone in the room changed.
"I heard of this! Some warriors experience it and achieve a breakthrough by fighting life-and-death battles. But those are difficult and dangerous..." Varkas said, unwilling to have his daughter risk her precious life for a breakthrough.
"Sir Rilden, do you have any solution?" Erose asked, her eyes full of hope.
"Yes. No emotional stimution has caused your energy to stagnate, preventing a breakthrough. If you can be stimuted enough, you can break through. But you are not a very emotional person." Rilden helplessly said.
"Hah... So, it is the young miss's stable emotions? I thought it was a strength, but it seems like a weakness now." Pesem shook his head on the side.
"Indeed. I don't remember her having any significant emotional fluctuation from a young age." Varkas muttered.
"Then I can't break through unless I experience intense emotions? But I don't know how..." Erose muttered, feeling a sense of loss.
"I can help you break through right here and now..." Rilden suddenly said, making the three people present widen their eyes.
"You can?! Speak, d! What is it?!" Varkas almost jumped out of his seat.
"Sir Rilden, please tell me. I am willing to do anything required," Erose pleaded, showing her desperation.
"Er... I do... But to do this, I require my lord and mister Pesem to step outside and give Miss Erose and I some privacy..." Rilden requested.
"Oh? Can you tell me why?" Varkas asked, intrigued.
"No, my lord... I only ask for your trust in me..." Rilden warily smiled.
Varkas slightly frowned, but Erose spoke, "It is fine. I am willing. Father, please step outside. I can handle myself."
Reminded that his daughter was a peak tier-3 warrior, while he only sensed Rilden was a peak tier 1 warrior, Varkas let go of his worries.
"Indeed. I am afraid Erose would rip his head off if the boy tries anything funny..." Varkas thought.
"Alright. Pesem, let us wait outside." Varkas stood up and decisively walked out, Pesem following behind.
Once the door was closed, Erose looked at Rilden, her eyes full of expectation, "Sir Rilden, please tell me, what is it?"
"Hah... Okay, can you promise to follow my instructions without attacking me?" Rilden asked weirdly.
"If it means I can break through, I am willing to do anything required." Erose solemnly said.
"Then... alright. Please y on my knees, belly side down." Rilden instructed, expecting to see some resistance.
But to his surprise, Erose did it without questioning him, her petite body draped in a white dress lying on his knees, her round, bubbly butt sticking out.
"Like this?" Erose emotionlessly asked.
"Y-Yes. Like this. So, please forgive me for what I am about to do..." Rilden said, feeling nervous excitement, and raised his hand.
"??? Forgive what—"
SPANK*
A sudden sound filled the room like a thundercp before falling into a deep silence.
Erose's face, which showed no expression, fair and pale, slightly reddened in a deep sense of shock and humiliation she had never experienced before.
"Y-You..." Erose shook, stuttering.
SPANK*
Her words were cut short by another spank, her bubbly butt wiggling like the ocean currents.
Erose's face turned redder as she began stuttering, too shocked to move.
"I-I-"
SPANK*
"H-How dare you-"
SPANK*
"S-Stop-"
SPANK*
"Y-You insolent-"
SPANK* SPANK* SPANK* SPANK* SPANK* SPANK*SPANK* SPANK*
With each spank, Erose's humiliation built up, something she had never experienced, and her face coloring red as it slowly transformed into another emotion. Anger. In her entire life, she had never felt a tenth of the anger she did now.
"This is fun!" Rilden thought while spanking the City Lord's most precious daughter.
But that thought quickly changed several seconds ter.
Snap*
"HOW DARE YOU!!!"
"UWAAA!!!"
Erose's enraged voice sounded throughout the mansion, followed by the sound of a pig being sughtered, startling Varkas and Pesem standing outside.
"What happened?!" Varkas excimed as he immediately burst into the room.
Varkas and Pesem saw a scene they never thought they would see, making their jaws sck.
"HOW DARE YOU?!"
SPANK*
"Ouch!"
"DO THAT?!"
SPANK*
"Owowow!"
"TO ME?!"
SPANK*
"I AM SORRY!"
"YOU INSOLENT CUR!!!"
SPANK* SPANK* SPANK* SPANK*
"GYAA!!!"
Varkas and Pesem saw Erose grabbing Rilden, her face contorted in rage, her usually calm eyes spitting fire as she pced him on her knees and continuously spanked his butt.
"Am I hallucinating?" Varkas muttered.
"The young Miss is..." Pesem rubbed his eyes.
"MY LORD!!! HELP!!!" Rilden cried, causing Varkas to snap out of it and realize a change in his daughter's aura.
"Erose! You broke through!" Varkas excimed in delight, ignoring Rilden's plight.
The furious girl, who was about to nd her nth spank, suddenly stopped, her anger quickly vanishing, repced by a look of shock as she sensed her previously-stagnant energy overflowing in her body, her bottleneck broken and smoothly advancing to tier-4.
"I-I broke through?! I broke through!" Erose excimed in a rare look of delight.
"Uuu... my butt..." Rilden whimpered on her p.
"Ah..." Erose showed a look of embarrassment.
"I just spanked my benefactor... How shameful of me..."
Several minutes ter-
Ignoring her status, Erose kneeled to Rilden, showing deep remorse for her actions.
"I am sorry for my outburst, my husband. Please forgive my rudeness." Erose said, even changing how she called Rilden from Sir to Husband.
"I-It is fine. Please stand up..." Rilden warily said while rubbing his painful butt.
"I am afraid I will be eating while standing and sleeping belly-side down in the next few days... But it was worth it..." Rilden thought, remembering the feel of her jiggling butt. But then he noticed what she said, "Wait, did she call me her husband?"
"Hmhmhm... Well, seems like you finally found a worthy husband, Erose." Varkas suppressed his ughter, the ridiculous memory from earlier etched in his mind.
"Yes, father. I will gdly marry Lord Rilden." Erose said with a serious look, addressing Rilden as Lord.
"And what about you, d? Will you take my precious daughter as your wife?" Varkas asked.
"Y-Yes, my lord. It would be an honor..." Rilden warily said while rubbing his rear.
"Great! You are now officially engaged! From now on, call me father, my son." Varkas grinned.
"F-Father..." Rilden struggled to speak those unfamiliar words.
"Hm. Hm! Great! As you marry into the family and have no surname, you shall now be called Rilden Greybde! Carry that name with pride!" Varkas decided.
"Thank you, father... can I please retire to my room?" Rilden warily requested.
"Hahaha... Yes, go ahead. Pesem, guide my new son to his room." Varkas ughed and instructed.
"Please follow me, young master Rilden." Pesem held back his ughter, guiding a limping Rilden out of the room.
Once they left the room, Varkas and Erose remained in the room.
"My daughter, did he spank you, so you got angry from the humiliation, enough to break through and retaliate?" Varkas smiled and asked.
"..." Erose remained silent, which was a silent admitance.
"Hmhmhm. To have the guts to do that in his situation, he truly has a remarkable ability. You could have broken his body in half if you were serious about harming him." Varkas chuckled.
"I only felt the need to retaliate appropriately at the time, but I didn't want to harm his life..." Erose admitted.
"Hm. Now that he is your husband, guard him well at all times. I shudder at the thought of our enemies obtaining him. Their top fighting strength would soar, overwhelming our city and perhaps our empire. The number of deaths would reach the millions." Varkas solemnly said before a frosty look appeared in his eyes, "If he shows signs of falling to an evil god's temptations or is captured by the enemy..."
"I know." Erose solemnly nodded.
Varkas rexed his look.
"Good. Take some healing cream and treat your new man. You owe him this much." Varkas instructed.
"Yes, father..." Erose nodded and walked away.
After Erose left, a pondering look appeared on Varkas's face.
"Normally, I would have heavily monitored him and wouldn't allow him to marry into the core family so easily, but I now made him my heir. Is it the effect of that artifact affecting the direction of my thoughts and decision-making, even if I am aware? What a terrifying and mysterious ability luck is..." Varkas muttered.
Meanwhile-
Rilden was in his room, lying belly down, head buried in a pillow, not wanting to move.
"Ugh... I won't be able to move for a day or two... Still worth it, though." Groaned, but still felt a sense of satisfaction.
Knock* Knock* Knock*
"Yes?" Rilden asked, his voice muffled by a soft pillow.
"My husband, may I come in?" Erose's angelic voice sounded from the door.
"Ah, please come in..." Rilden said but didn't move.
Erose opened the door and entered the room before closing it behind her, gently walking to Rilden's bed with the ccking sound of her shoes on the wooden floor.
"What is it, Miss Erose?" Rilden asked.
"Erose." Erose suddenly said.
"Yes?" Rilden was confused.
"Please drop the Miss. Call me Erose, or wife, or dear, or anything else. We are now engaged, and calling me Miss is inappropriate." Erose cooly expined.
"Ah... Then, Erose..." Rilden embarrassedly said.
"Better." Erose lightly smiled and sat next to Rilden. "I brought you some healing cream."
"Ah... Thank you. Please put it there, I will apply it myself..." Rilden said, pointing at his nightstand.
"No, I will apply it for you," Erose said, reaching out to remove Rilden's pants.
"E-Eh? This isn't appropriate. I should do it myself..." Rilden tried rejecting.
"Please let me apply it, my husband. I owe you this apology," Erose gently said.
"Hah... okay. Fine. But let me remove my pants." Rilden groaned, unbuckling his belt, slightly lowering his pants.
Erose opened the container she carried, revealing a bck substance inside. Dipping her fingers in it, she brought it to Rilden's rear, sliding her dainty hands under his pants and underwear to rub his butt.
"Oh..." Rilden groaned, feeling a pleasant chill from the gentle hands and cream.
"Does that feel better, my husband?" Erose asked.
"Yes, thank you..." Rilden said, enjoying the sensation.
"That's good," Erose said.
The room turned quiet, and only the sound of Erose applying the cream remained. After a pleasant five minutes for Rilden, Erose stopped and put the cream on the nightstand before standing up and putting Rilden's pants back on.
"Again, I am deeply grateful for your help, my husband. I won't forget it." Erose bowed.
"I just did what I could to help... Although you spank hard," Rilden groaned.
Erose lightly smiled, finding his situation oddly satisfying and amusing. "Rest well, my husband."
She said before leaving the room.
Thus started Rilden's life in the City Lord's mansion as a live-in son-in-w.
