Chapter 99: Before the Election

Eve’s mother is called Lavay.

She was brought here by the slave merchant, Doran, and she is absolutely stunning. She is so beautiful that I think even females would be captivated by her.

I was worried about how badly her body was injured since she was gang-raped by the kingdom’s expedition army, but the Gandoran Group probably has their own connections to healers since from what I can see, it doesn’t look like any injuries remained.

I could feel her youthfulness from her white skin as I took a peek into her robe-like clothing. If I didn’t know beforehand, I would have probably mistaken her for Eve’s sister.

What really made me feel that she’s Eve’s mother is her frighteningly well-proportioned face and her green eyes that are reminiscent of the deep woods.

When I looked at her hair, the color wasn’t as dark as Eve’s dark honey color or as dark as amber; it was a light blonde that seems to have fused with the sunlight. Eve’s hair color might be from her father’s side. 

Considering the remarkable growth of Eve’s breasts, I thought her mother would have explosive udders that are on Cynthia’s level, but to my surprise, their size is within the boundaries of common sense. Well, it’s weird to compare people to Cynthia’s size. Lavay’s breasts can already be called big. 

Those appearance descriptions were all listed in the letters, but a picture is worth a thousand words. I know very well that I wouldn’t have understood what’s so good about her at all if I didn’t actually see her in person.

When I thought to myself about how she’s going to become mine soon, I got excited and a smile naturally formed on my face.

In response to me who was gazing at her fondly, Lavay faced me with a smile.

Different from Eve, Lavay has been educated as a slave by the Gandoran Group. There is a large difference in her attitude towards customers compared to Eve.

When I look at her smile that gives off a somewhat forced impression and the dark cuffs that bound her hands and legs, I can’t help but become conscious of the misfortune that had befallen her. 

To Lavay, this isn’t the first time she got brought in front of customers to be sold as a slave. She had been brought to all kinds of places.

In all of those places she had been brought to so far, there would be nothing but men who would make a woman feel disgusted waiting for her. The men would all try to buy her somehow, but then they would pass on making an individual purchase due to her high price. Then, she would be told things like “I’m going to discuss it with my fellow perverts to make a joint purchase so just wait for me a little longer”.

Of course, it’s no coincidence that things turned out that way every time.

All of those encounters were staged.

They were acts that I had Doran stage for me, but Lavay will never know about that truth.

In Doran’s letters, he said that he had hired some evil-looking employees and slaves of the Grandoran Group as the actors. He seems to have used his and the borrowed homes of his acquaintances to perform the acts. Since they used some other tricks aside from that to trick her as well, it took a considerable amount of effort and time.

I’m not the one to talk since I was the one who made the request, but quite a lot of labor was spent on that. Although the sale of an elven sex slave is expected to generate a large amount of money for him, I really like his attitude to do anything to satisfy a customer. I want to be a customer of his company from here on too. 

Anyway, Lavay was shown that she could have been bought by groups of ugly men over and over. Since she had nothing but bad things happen to her with the kingdom’s expedition army, being bought by a group would undoubtedly be a nightmare of a future from her point of view.

I had Doran let her know that I have enough money to purchase her by myself instead of a joint purchase. She probably wants me to buy her at all costs right now.

As I looked at Lavay who is trying to keep up a natural smile, I felt an indescribable feeling of excitement.

After Lavay and the Gandoran Group’s employees withdrew from the place, I signed a contract with Doran who remained.

I handed the mountain of gold coins that I had prepared beforehand to him and we adjusted the date of delivery. There’s no problem with same-day delivery either, but we’re not doing that because the farce is still going on.

This purchase agreement is planned to be kept a secret to Lavay as she’ll be told “You didn’t get sold this time either”. Then, she will be told another lie where she’ll be getting purchased as a cum dumpster for the army.

I will then show up gallantly to save her at a later date. That is what we planned as the final scene.

I wonder if she’ll be so thankful to me that she’ll start sucking my penis on the spot.

「Well then, please leave the rest of the work to me」

「I’ll be counting on you then」

After I grinned smugly, Doran thanked me respectfully and left.

Since I had nothing left to do, I decided to inspect the city.

I felt it last night when I entered the city as well, but a lot of citizens were working in high spirits. An enthusiasm that’s hot enough to make people forget that winter is coming seems to have enveloped the entire City of Nambonan.

「It sure is lively here」

「Yes. It’s because the election is coming up」

The one who said that was Rumon. When I told him that I wanted to take a look around the city, he came along to explain things to me.

A civil officer of the Qualdense army also came along, but since Rumon is the person who is the most informed about the city’s situation, the officer is only opening his mouth when there’s anything to add.

I personally wanted to inspect the city with Kohali as my cute guide, but Rumon told me that would be impossible and I agreed with him. A sheltered rich girl like her probably wouldn’t be able to guide me around the city.

「So the atmosphere’s like this because of the election?」

「Yes. But this time is even more lively than usual. All of the citizens have been looking forward to it」

The previous councilors were all driven out due to Nambonan’s defeat. The city’s council is practically in a collapsed state. From when we put Nambonan under control to this day, the Qualdense army has been temporarily ruling the administration.

Although I declared that I want the citizens to regain self-governance in my speech, there is no guarantee that their independence will really return. The citizens seem to be uneasy the entire time because of that.

「Since we made the date of the scheduled election public, the city has been like this the whole time」

The citizens looked extremely glad that they regained the opportunity to deliver their will to the city administration. Rumon is also giving off a kind of genuinely happy vibe.

Quotes like “The practice of local self-government is the best school of democracy” existed on Earth in my past life, but what’s important in a democracy is probably this exact kind of mindset that the citizens of Nambonan have.

「Mayor, the names of this district’s candidates are listed on the board there」

「Ohh?」

To be chosen as a candidate for Nambonan’s election, you have to be a citizen who is respected and trusted by many people. Being adored by the citizens means that the election depends heavily on popularity votes.

On the large wooden signboard that’s located at an eye-catching spot of the street, things like the candidates’ names and what kind of person they are were roughly written on there.

When I stopped and took a glance at it, I found a name on there that I am familiar with.  

「Hm. Anna’s name is on here」

For some reason, Anna, the waitress who works at the tavern is among the names of candidates.  

A name like Anna is common enough to be found everywhere, but since it has the tavern’s name attached next to where it says she’s working as a waitress, there should be no mistake that it’s the Anna I know.

「Why is she a candidate?」

「Miss Anna?」

According to Rumon, Anna seems to have gotten nominated.

Not only is she a famous poster girl at the tavern from the start, the fake intel of her preaching to me to protect the independence of Nambonan is circulating on the streets as well.

It seems that partly because of those reasons, she has gotten pushed to be the most worthy person to be on Nambonan’s council.  

I heard that they don’t traditionally have female council members ever, but she has so much support from the people that she could blow that tradition away.

「Miss Anna is really a wonderful woman」

Rumon said that while he exhaled in admiration, then he started to talk about Anna passionately even though I didn’t ask.  

Anna, who works energetically at a place of relaxation for the citizens seems to be originally popular amongst the men of the city. The traditional clothing she wears that is similar to an Oktoberfest costume has probably become a nice side dish of fap material for the people. She’s an outstanding waitress who doesn’t only serve people snacks to go with the drinks, but even some snacks for their night as well. 

When I think about that, my desire to monopolize her starts to spill out. I want to jizz all over her and mark her as my woman.   

By the way, according to the rumors, it’s pretty much for certain that Anna will be elected. It’s like the people don’t even consider voting for anyone else other than her.

Many citizens also seem to call her “The fairy of Nambonan”, and the tavern she works at has been packed day after day.

After I inspected the important places of the city, I let Rumon and the civil officer go, and then I headed for the tavern with just my guards.

Under this cold sky, many civilians were drinking alcohol at the tables that are set outside of the tavern. When they saw me, some were frightened, but most threw me welcoming words.

The owner also welcomed me timidly and prepared a table for me inside. He was about to tell Anna to pour me drinks out of consideration, but there is a hostess bar there. Since I saw that Anna is working, I told him it’s alright.

The waitresses were moving around between the tables.

There were many girls who look quite younger than Anna, but they still aren’t as charming as she is. She is truly attractive when she continues to bring alcohol around vivaciously with her skilled movements.

When I think about how she’s one of my women, I started to feel good, and the pace with which I drank my tea increased.

As I thought about when I should bring Anna to my bed, I ordered another cup of tea.

TLN: Cynthia is the busty priest from the church if anyone forgot
