Most Wicked Harem Slave Master

Chapter 8 - Social Standing

Because Charlotta fell asleep again, I didn't have anything to do.
 
 
While I was reluctantly keeping grandfather company, my childhood friend Simona came looking for me.
 
 
 
「Good morning, Eginhardt-sama!」
 
 
 
Simona seems to be a little different from usual today.
 
 
Her lapis lazuli colored hair was bundled by a flower ornament, and she was wearing formal clothes. On her hand was a basket covered with a cloth.
 
 
 
「Good morning, Simona. Are you going somewhere?」
 
 
「No. While Charlotta-sama is here, I will dress up too!」
 
 
 
Fuun~
 
 
That flower ornament was a present from me, for her birthday some time ago.
 
 
 
「Oh, you are the one called Simona? And what are you holding in your hand?」
 
 
 
To notice such a thing, grandfather's eyes must be really sharp.
 
 
 
「Yes! I heard from my mother that this is Simeon-sama's favorite dish, an Arpa Milk Cheesecake!」
 
 
「OOOO!! What a good girl!! How considerate of you to bring such a precious thing!!」
 
 
 
The Arpa, from what I know, is a monster similar to a goat, however, I have never seen one.
 
 
Though it lived in the mountains in this region, I heard that they were hard to capture.
 
 
Naturally, the milk used to make that cheesecake was very rare. By the way, this is one of Timoria Town’s few income sources.
 
 
Grandfather was extremely fond of this. I wonder if the reason he comes home every year is the Arpa cheese? Even now, he was just like a child in front of us.
 
 
 
「Thank you very much, Simona. Let's have a tea break everyone.」
 
 
「Yes! Oh? ...Where is Charlotta-sama?」
 
 
「Charlotta was... very tired from last night. She will be fine again if it is not a disease.」
 
 
 
For a brief moment, Simona seemed glad.
 
 
 
「Eeh!? I am very worried! May I visit her?」
 
 
「Sure. Charlotta will be glad too. You two should visit her.」
 
 
 
Kekeke.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Simona and I came to the room in which Charlotta was sleeping.
 
 
Because the housemaid, Martha had just come out, I inquired about Charlotta.
 
 
 
「How is she? Did she calm down?」
 
 
「...I just made her realize just what her position in this place is.」
 
 
 
Good job. However, this is the hallway. Let's talk in a little bit more indirect way.
 
 
 
When I opened the door, Charlotta was on the bed with teary eyes.
 
 
 
「Ye~s! I'm coming in!」
 
 
「――Hiii!! Don't come!!」
 
 
 
I was elated.
 
 
Seeing Charlotta-chan move back, Simona laughed.
 
 
 
「Kusukusu... This feels great. Eginhardt-sama.... this girl, what will you do with her?」
 
 
「Simona, I leave her to you. What do you want to do?」
 
 
 
「Let’s kill her!」
 
 
 
Charlotta's face became pale.
 
 
 
 
「T-this is strange!! Simona, return to yourself!!」
 
 
「Eh~? As for the one who is mistaken, isn’t it yourself? By trying to disobey Eginhardt-sama.」
 
 
「That man is evil!! Don't tell me, you have also been manipulated!?」
 
 
 
「Demon, demon, I'm really not that kind of a man.」
 
 
「Liar!! Ahh, Goddess-sama please help me.......!」
 
 
 
――Yes, yes.
 
 
 
「Shall I tell you a good thing, Charlotta-sama?」
 
 
「I don't want to hear it!! Don't come near me!!」
 
 
 
Charlotta hated me so there was no need for useless talk, I’ll just tell her the truth.
 
 
 
 
 
 
「Actually, I'm a friend of that Goddess-sama.」
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
――Kekekekekeke――
 
 
 
And thus, Charlotta Orphninon was under my 「Full Control」.
