Ari, Earl, and Aria came out of the Magic Castle together for the trip to the Merchant District.
The familiar white carriage soon arrived and Aria quickly opened the door for them. Her movements were that of a professional maid, smooth and swift as well as pleasant to the eyes.
Inside the carriage, Earl sat next to his mother, Ari and Aria sat across from him. From this position, Earl had a full view of Aria in her cute maid uniform. She was no longer embarrassed to feel his gaze linger on her.
By his side, Ari briefed him on the trait of demons again.
"Remember, demons have a Berserk State when their emotions reach a certain threshold. You will need to keep her on a tight leash."
"Understood. I won't forget it." Earl nodded and let his head sink into her boobs. The wonderful softness pressed against his head and relaxed him.
"It's good that you understand." Ari nodded back with a smile and held him close with one arm.
There was a rather interesting dynamic within the carriage. Earl was in an incestuous relationship with Ari that Aria was not aware of. He was also starting a lewd relationship with his slave. From the perspective of Aria, she did not suspect anything between Ari and Earl at all. On the other hand, Ari was fully aware of everything happening.
These were the little things that made a polyamorous relationship interesting. In his previous relationship, he fucked one of his wives' mother while still trying to seduce her. The mother, who was the last addition to his harem was perfectly aware of what was happening and the taboo element only turned her on more. And the best part was the moment when she realized. It was a messy situation that could have been entirely avoided if Earl was not so reckless but he was unable to resist the temptation.
He could not wait to lay his hands on the Princess and the Queen eventually.
They soon arrived at their destination in the Merchant District. A slave caravan that specialized in the demon race. From what Earl was aware of, this slave caravan would spend an extravagant amount contracting big Adventurer groups and go to the Demon Continent just to capture demons to enslave.
The profits from the sales of demon slaves would be sufficient to pay off the big Adventurer groups and they would repeat the process.
The moment he earned his reward for ranking up to the Advanced rank, he placed a custom order for a girl to his preference with this caravan. Conjuring up an image of a random beautiful girl and then being told that she would be captured enslaved and then delivered to one's doorstep was one of the most exciting things Earl has ever done.
He felt like he was falling deeper into degeneracy and fitting more into the mould of a stereotypical noble and he didn't have a problem with that. It was something that lined up with his values. There was no need for justification.
Aria opened the door to the carriage for them and helped Earl down the carriage. It was completely unnecessary help but it felt nice to be treated this way.
At the sight of the white carriage, one of the burly guards of the slave caravan quickly ran inside one of the tents to inform the boss of their arrival.
The boss of the caravan was one of the shadiest looking men Earl has ever seen. He was a very tall and lanky man with pasty white skin, pitched black hair, and a curly moustache. He wore a black suit which made him appear more like a butler than the boss of a shady slave caravan. He reminded Earl of a vampire, especially so with his blood-red eyes.
"Welcome! I've been expecting you all." The boss greeted them with his arms spread. "Let's get down to business. Follow me!"
He led them to one of the large tents he set up. The tents were so large they were comparable in size to that of houses. It was something that was exclusive to slave caravans in the Merchant District. "This tent is reserved for custom slaves like what you've asked for." He said with a smirk.
Inside the tent, many cages were lined up and stacked on one another. There was an obvious difference in quality when comparing the ones here and the ones showcased outside.
The ones kept here were much more beautiful and exotic, comprising of mostly young, female demons and a few male ones. Earl kept his eyes peeled as he casually scanned through each of the cages with his eyes.
There were sexy and voluptuous demons with figures comparable to his mother. There were also young and small demons with figures similar to that of Aria, who was also making her own observation. The only emotion behind her gaze right now was that of pity.
It was a good idea to bring her along. Even though she was fully trained, the sight of these pitiful, freshly captured slaves would further reinforce her sense of belonging towards her master.
"Here she is." The boss said when they arrived at the cage they came here for.
A little girl with long, red hair sat with her back facing them. Even without seeing any of the real goods right now, Earl could see that her skin was pale, bright, and clear. Her long, red, curly vermillion hair was well taken of. She had two short goatlike horns protruding out of her head.
A thin, worn-out rag covered her small body. She did not have the bat-like wings like most demons but she had the signature long, thin demon tail. The tip of her tail was a cute heart shape.
"Lily." The boss called to her.
Her pointed, elven-like ears twitched at the sound of her name being called. Turning around, her flawless face was shown for all to see.
Compared to Aria, she had a sharper jaw-line which made her face appear more narrow. Her nose was well-shaped and straight. Her lips, bright red colour the same shade as her hair.
And lastly, her most distinct feature. Her heterochromnia eyes. One was a pale blue, like the most precious gem of the ocean. The other was blood red. A distinct colour that was a deeper shade than her hair.
