Chapter 796 Lady Inayah Comes With Gifts (Part-2)

Chapter 796

Alexander felt quite a bit enlightened by Pythos's colorful story.

It went to show how even a greatly learned person could possess major flaws in their character.

Pythos himself revealed that his gambling habit had caused the relationship between all his family members to become strained at best, as most were not even on talking terms with him.

He had not seen many of his children in close to a decade, forget the grandkids.

And towards this abandonment, the man surprisingly had little hate, only blaming himself for this outcome.

According to him, this was his due payment, since in his earlier years, when he was even more addicted, he had grossly neglected his wife and children.

The little ones would sleep without dinner almost regularly, while his own wife had died back then of a relatively minor disease due to a lack of medicine because he spent all his money in those gambling dens.

"But fortunately all my children grew up better than their father. They are in far better places than I ever was."

Unconcerned about his own state, Pythos instead seemed very gratified by his children's success, though Alexander did notice the old man's face dim ever so slightly as he finished.

Surely he was wishing he could have been there to share that joy with them.

But the case the loan sharks had made against him was really too potent.

Not only did they bring proof of the enormous sums he owed to each of them, but they also came with almost every detailed record of his dereliction of duty, showing everyone just how many times this judge had broken and also helped others break the law.

And it was the corruption case that really got him.

Otherwise, given the general amount of backdoor dealings prevalent at the time, trying to convict a senior judge of loan fraud would have been really reaching for the moon.

Many of the city states inherently disliked loan sharks.

But with the enormous smoking gun in their hands, the loan sharks finally managed to get their revenge.

Pythos's long term bad habit had finally caught up to him.

So ultimately he was sold into slavery and given his status, was taken to Adhania, where he could fetch the highest price.

And his first port stop was Agnirat, the biggest port city in northern Adhanian, its ruler - Lady Inayah.

At first she bought the man, and then upon Pasha Farzah's request, handed it over to Kayvan, who then gifted him to Alexander.

Now, as precious he was, Alexander would not have Pythos as his son's teacher, but place him in a mid level clerical job in Zanzan, a position which was both inconspicuous but equally vital

The reason he would officially give was that Philip was too small to need a tutor right now..

While the actual reason was that Alexander did not want as flawed a man as him near his son.

Although the man sounded regretful over his actions now, who knew just how sincere he was, or if he would relapse again?

Alexander would not take that chance.

These were the useful, utilitarian slaves.

Next came the far more interesting pleasure slaves.

In that category, Lady Inayah gifted Alexander two beautiful, black buxom sisters, dressed in white and blue checkers one piece that seemed to be floating in the wind, their gorgeous curly hair fashionably styled.

According to Lady Inayah's description of the two, they were former nobles who 'had fallen on hard times', which Alexander saw as a euphemistic way of saying that their household was wiped up and then sold to slavery, undoubtedly by Ptolomy or who knew perhaps Lady Inayah herself, given the girls' unique complexion matched hers.

As for the reason, well it was pretty easy to guess given there was a civil war still going on.

As for why Alexander was so sure the girls' backstory was such without any further context, well, even though many noblemen and women did sell themselves into slavery due to other circumstances too, most prominently running themselves into bankruptcy, Lady Inayah said the answer herself when she had introduced them, didn't she?

She had introduced them to as 'former nobles'.

This was very telling.

Because even if a noble were to turn themselves into slave, they would still remain a noble and hold that title

Even if a lot of their perks were taken away, they still held that social status, even if in name only.

Besides, noble slaves were almost always bought for much more dignified tasks.

The women would be employed as maids or chamberwomen, governesses or tutors, ladies in waiting, and even wet nurses.

While the men would be taken as valets, butlers, stewards, scribes, and even as officers in the military.

Of course, these would be official works which they would attend to during the day.

Unofficially, during the night, it was expected they would also accede to any favors asked of them by their master or mistress, be it bed related or otherwise.

And yes, both men and women were expected to serve.

With their only saving grace were nobles who sold themselves to slavery like this- due to bankruptcy, usually did so to other nobles, for it was only natural that other nobles would be their creditors.

That at least saved them a bit of dignity.

After all, no noble was going to go a commoner to beg for money.

They had a much better method for them- simply taking it by force in the name of protection fees or also called taxes.

As for rich merchants and such, who did have the capital to tend to these spoilt nobles, well although technically the law allowed to enslave nobles if they were their biggest creditor, in reality, this never happened.

Because if a merchant did try to pull off such a move, he would find his local lord making things very hard for him indeed.

The nobility as a whole was of the mind that only they could bully other nobles since they were in the same social strata.

But how could people below them be allowed to do the same?

So the act was seen not as much as an injustice to that enslaved noble, but more of an attack on the societal structure, a hierarchical system where the top 1% benefitted from the most- the nobility.

Hence in those cases, either the bankrupt noble or the rich merchant would find a suitable noble to buy the owned and thus transfer the ownership over to him.

Of course, in the case of commoners, bankruptcy meant either chattel slavery or even death if the sum to be paid was high enough.

It was a custom Alexander was actually ambivalent to change in his own lands, because some of the frauds he had seen in his previous life like Enron, Thanatos, and FTX, truly were heinous.

Who knew if stricter laws would have deterred such ventures in the first place?

But anyway, besides that, the special privileges a noble enjoyed even as slaves meant that only those fallen from nobility were bought and sold as pleasure slaves.

And Alexander did find his guesses to be proven exactly right, as he enjoyed these two virgin sisters.

There were special rooms in the mansion meant to house a lord's mistresses or haram and it was there that the two girls got to taste their first men.

And what a specimen they got to begin their tasting with.

For under Alexander's brutal organ, the older sister proved to be quite a screamer, moaning her lungs out so loudly that even Alexander was a bit embarrassed

While the shyer younger sister was the complete opposite and would try and hold her voice as much as she could, only biting her lips and whimpering.

It would be only when her pleasure reached the apex that she would let one or let low moans, the soul stirring sounds sounding like heavenly music to Alexander, as he would then increase his thrusting speed more, causing that demure girl to softly beg for Alexander to slow down.

This of course would have the exact opposite effect, as that would only tickle Alexander's desire to bully her even more, causing the vicious but sensual cycle to perpetuate.

And as Alexander enjoyed the two, he marveled at how intimate Lady Inayah's knowledge was about his taste.

It went without saying that Alexander found these girls quite enjoyable, for not only were they pure, something he very much preferred, but since they had gone through their noble training, they were also not ignorant.

And though they were a bit rusty with their service at first, appearing scared and unsure what to touch and how much, after a week of intense mating, both quickly got the hang of all the things Alexander expected them to perform.

So for the next month or so, Alexander's massive rod worked to expand and explore the hidden depths of both their holes, and by the end of it, the two were so well trained that they start uncontrollably leaking even if just Alexander grabbed their butt.

But while Alexander very much liked Lady Inayah's present, Lord Kayvan's one proved to be far more difficult to digest.

For he gifted him a pair of underaged boys!
