The Lazy Life Of Raine

Cannon Fodder (2)

Now that Raine was Nyx, a smaller cannon fodder to another small cannon fodder, inside of a world created for a book, she could basically do whatever she wanted, as long as she didn’t mess with the real story line.  

Raine reviewed the storyline for the book and had to just live a quiet life and not get involved in the Four Nation’s talk or attend the Madewell Tournament.  

She also reviewed how she had made repeated mistakes, which angered Yoru and thus in turn, caused him to sell her off to a brothel.  It wasn’t Nyx’s fault that she caused so many mistakes, back to back. It was because she was set up by the other maid Gia, who was jealous of Nyx’s close relationship with Yoru.  

Nyx and Yoru grew up together.  Her mother was Yoru’s nursemaid and took care of Yoru until her mother died trying to save Yoru’s mother.  Although her mother’s attempt to save Yoru’s mother failed, the traumatic experience caused Yoru to grow up cold and unfeeling.  While Nyx remembered her mother’s repeated words to take care of Young Master Yoru.

Nyx had dedicated her life into serving Yoru, even when he sold her to the brothel, her foolish self didn’t blame Yoru.  Even when she was tortured until she died, she didn’t blame Yoru. She blamed her bad luck and the fact that she was too weak to protect herself.  That was the reason why her last wish was to be strong, so no one would take advantage of her again.

Raine laid down on her little bed in the inn and went to sleep.  She knew that Yoru and the rest of his guards and servants would be going back home the next day. Although the trip home would take a week, it was during this week that Nyx was set up and sold off.  

Raine went along with the story, her every order from Yoru was a fail.  Her mistakes stacked against her and he soon became annoyed with her incompetence while at the same time getting more infatuated with Gia.  

To feed her succubus, Raine unleashed her powers and had Yoru and Gia become more and more infatuated with each other, while she became more distant.  

When they reached the merchant city, Wealsome, Raine was immediately taken to the brothel, Pink Orchid and sold off.  

The Madam of Pink Orchid, took one look at Nyx and nodded her head.  She bought the new pleasure girl for 1500 gold coins. Not only was the new pleasure girl beautiful, with auburn hair, but she had large blue eyes that held no fear.  

“What is your name, girl?”  The Madam asked once the two of them was alone.  

“Nyx.”  She answered.  

“I can tell right away, you were an inner servant for a large family.  How did you fall so far?”

“I fell into the schemes of a jealous woman and displeased my Master.”  

“So an innocent then?”  The Madam stated. “Tell me, Nyx.  Has your Master lay with you yet?”

“No.  Master never touched me or laid with me.”  

“An innocent through and through… Other than serving your Young Master, what else can you do?”  

“May things.  I can play several instruments, I can cook and know how to paint women’s faces.  I also know how to read and write.” Nyx told the Madam.

“Good.  Good.” The Madam said as she looked over Nyx again.  “Strip for me. I want to see all that I’ve paid for.”  

Nyx’s head bent down in embarrassment and slowly took off her dress.  Once her dress and undergarments were off, she kept her head down as she let the Madam examine her “goods.”  

“Turn around.  Slowly… Now raise your hand above your head….  Good… good.” The Madam then stood up and came close to her.  She grabbed Nyx’s chin with her hand and looked over Nyx’s features once again.  “I’ll invest in you, I’ll make you the most talented woman in Madewell. I’ll make all the women jealous of you and all the men want to be with you.  You’ll be Pink Orchid’s most prized possession. All you have to do is just listen to everything I say.”

“As Madam say.”  Nyx answered.

“Good.  You’re training starts now.”
