BXBX NOVEL Chapter 2: Consultation Regarding My First Time
「Considering Young Master\'s age, I think it\'s about time.」
If it was in my previous world, I would be around junior high. Oh well, there was no use to keep holding the common sense in my previous world. Besides, I felt like my way of thinking had been getting closer to the nobles in this world after living here for twelve years.
I turned to Tesh, who had been looking at me standing, and showed a smile.
「Father told me to consult with you about women. According to my father\'s words, there aren\'t any restrictions aside from noblewomen….. Do you have any good idea?」
As if waiting for those words, Tesh took out a wooden plaque out of nowhere. Placed on top of the table, the amount of the budget was on it.
「There will be no problem choosing from Young Master\'s personal servants and the common servants. In the case Young Master want Master and Old Master\'s servant, please consult it with me. The same goes for the servants of Madam and Young miss.」
As expected of a marquis, there were a large number of servants employed in the castle. There were two kinds of servants: A servant who mainly served a member of the house and a servant who handles the matters inside the castle. Tesh, for example, was a servant who served me for the most part.
The number of my personal servants surpassed fifty, and the majority were men and the rest women. Furthermore, there were many young women among them. In short, those kinds of things were likely included in their duties.
「I wouldn\'t think of touching the servants of my father and grandfather. Much less my mother\'s servants.」
My mother\'s personal maids were all beauties, but I couldn\'t tell my mother to lend one to help me lose my virginity.
「In the case Young Master chooses a commoner outside the castle, we would have to pay money. Master has given the funds. Please take a look.」
Tesh said as he pointed towards the number in the wooden tag.
I\'d also gone to the town quite a number of times, so I know the lifestyle of the commoners. That was why I noticed that the amount was a large sum. It was enough to buy several slaves.
「How much money does it usually take for a young girl?」
「It depends on the family of the girl… but for a virgin young girl of a common household, around five gold kiris. A silver is enough for a second time. In case the girl got pregnant, an extra ten gold kiris would be paid.」
Kiris gold coin was the currency in the Levios Kingdom, and its value was considerably high. An ordinary family living in the castle town would be able to live for half a year with two gold kiris as long as they were careful in their spending, I think. I\'d been raised in a marquis\' house, so my conjecture might be wrong.
「Quite an amount, I seep.」
「Yes. The purpose is to have them feel obliged by paying a compensation.」
What would happen if I give them a gold coin?
『Poor girl, to be forced by a noble… Eh?you received five kiris gold coins?! Wait, you\'re receiving so much?! Rather, aren\'t you quite lucky?』
Apparently, that was how people around would think. The woman in question would begin to feel guilty as she used the money she received to pay for her everyday expenses. Like this, the hate they have towards me would decrease, and there would be an increase in women who would prefer to sleep with me. What a splendid way of handling it.
「But in that case, I would quickly run out of money.」
「If Young master is considering the expenses, it might be good to just buy a slave from the start. There wouldn\'t be a need to pay every time.」
「Slave…」
The Levios Kingdom had a slave system. During times when invading other countries and lands of isolated tribes, it was allowed to take the natives as a captive and turn them into slaves. This kingdom invaded others quite often, so there was a lot of slaves. Father said that our territory had also been earning a large amount of money due to the wars these past several years.
「Slavery appears to be flourishing outside the castle. Considering that the buyer is the eldest son of the House of Quordentz, it might be possible to get a decent slave.」
「Slaves, huh. It might not be a bad idea.」
Honestly, including my age in the previous world, I was a forty-something-year-old virgin, so I felt quite nervous doing it with an ordinary woman. Just imagining that I failed to lose my virginity to a maid in the castle made me restless. If it was a slave, it would be easy to silence her to protect my dignity.
However, there was one problem.
「I hear that the slave traders outside, um, do not handle slaves that specialize in such things.」
There were several slave merchants outside the castle, but there wasn\'t any that specialize in sex slaves.
Slave traders from other cities who specialized in sex slaves had been buying beautiful women.
「...I\'m surprised that Young master knows.」
「I heard it from Viscount Galliana, and I just remembered about it.」
How could I possibly forget about it?
「Viscount Galliana?」
There were many nasty rumors about Viscount Galliana. Furthermore, his appearance was quite poor. A face filled with pimples and a body so fat that it wouldn\'t be possible to see the area between the neck and his chin. He was the very picture of a corrupt noble. Originally a commoner merchant, he fixed his eyes on a viscount who was in need of money and using his abundant money, succeeded in taking over. He was a capable upstart noble.
「He\'s an interesting fellow. His territory is stable, and I think he is not the kind of person they describe him to be. Besides, his son Deanrish is an honest man.」
I had many dealings with Viscount Galliana. He approached me back when I started putting my products in the market.
His appearance was that of a complete villain, so I was on guard at first, but when we conversed, I found that he was a rational and easy going person. As expected of someone who climbed from a commoner to a noble, I was able to tell that he had considerable ability.
The products that I made were continuously being distributed to Viscount Galliana. I took advantage of his ability as a merchant. As a result, my products became popular in the capital thanks to his marketing ability and our territory gained a large amount of wealth.
Evidently, the Viscount also gained profit in the process. I was thinking that it was win-win for both sides, but it seems that Viscount Galliana didn\'t think so. He said that he wanted to thank me because my products earned him lots of profit, but he wasn\'t able to give back anything in return.
I explained the matter to Tesh.
「So, to save him some face, I think it\'s a good idea to have him introduce us to a slave trader.」
In Viscount Galliana\'s territory, there was a slave trading group specializing in sex slaves, and it was quite famous for its quality even in the capital.
Supposedly, it was impossible to have a transaction with this slave trader without an introduction from Viscount Galliana, so I would definitely have him introduce the trader to me. This would be the perfect chance for him to express his gratitude.
「I see. That might indeed be a good idea. But, it would develop a connection with a noble from another territory. I believe it\'s better to consult with Master.」
「I understand. I\'ll consult it with Father.」
I\'d placed the schedule after dinner in my mind.
After that, I consulted with my father about having Viscount Galliana introduce a sex slave merchants.
In the end, there was no problem with the introduction part, but he warned me to make sure to decline if ever he gave a special offer such as discounts, and to pay it at regular price. It was probably to avoid making unnecessary favor.
When I returned to my room, I wrote a letter to Viscount Galliana while suppressing my excitement.
