What Aranea Ienith said kept bothering me for a while after she left me in front of Saarthal. I was really worried for a few days after that and kept thinking of all the possibilities.
Aranea said that Azura chose to show mercy and forgive me for now as I was making her followers (which are the Dark Elves) live and worship in good terms in Skyrim. This was due to the Dunmer Settlement that was built in front of Whispering Mine and had a lot of Dunmer who wanted to live in the Shadow of Azura's Shrine over the Mountain beside it. Also, I treat the Dunmer better than most because of how I closely tied with them… I mean the is Nurina and Jullanar in my life as well as some of my personal guards and some girls in the bathhouse too.
They are the second majority in Winterhold after all… but it would be a real problem for them to know that I have caused such a thing to the Star of Azura.
Now with this message from Azura, I knew that my journey with her haven't even started yet.
"Goddammit! What was I thinking?" I looked at the Black Star in my hand as I just emptied it from the Black Soul trapped in it.
It was plainly stupid to think that making it Black would stop the people from using it to achieve immortality, history is filled with many tales of people who tried to exploit the Star and it always ended with a bloodbath.
Well, whatever! I can't endure the wrath of Azura even if I tried to fix things before they get out of hand… Azura is known to be cruel, she cursed an entire race that was called the Chimer (Changed Folk) and made them into the Dunmer (Dark Elf).
But even though she was cruel, she cares for her people and their suffering. She is the Goddess of Dusk and Dawn, Mother of the Rose and Queen of the Night Sky. Her realm of Oblivion is called Moonshadow, it is a giant garden full of roses, a city of silver, and breathtaking vistas brimming with waterfalls, flowers, and majestic trees. The goddess herself resides in a palace of roses.
Other than that, Azura is known to be one of the more merciful and benevolent Lords, and even though her wrath is swift and painful, she cares for her followers the most as she may send her champions through the land to help them if they were in trouble which is a quality not and Daedric Prince showed.
If she still considers me her one of her champions then I must find the chance to fix things once I get the call… even though I will be always worried until that happens.
Anyway, for now I should focus on my work.
Master Nurelion visited me and made me his prisoner for the whole day discussing the most (nerdish) theories and ideas he came up with. He even gave me a good insight into the Illusion School and taught me how to change my appearance with the 'Mimic' spell. It was a very fun experience but the spell was too weak and can be discovered by anyone with a slight sense to Magic. It also can't change my height which can give me out from a mile away but it was fun.
During the night, Trudvar my housecarl came to my office and gave me a report I was waiting for. It was about the events that happened during my trip.
They caught a spy, made some improvements in the city, received some merchants and finished a good part in the western new wall.
"Where did that spy come from?"
"Well… we don't really know!"
"... Why? Too tough to interrogate?"
"No… it is just…"
"... I am listening."
"The spy is a girl, Boss. We didn't let that crazy torturer have his way with her so we waited until you arrive?"
"The spy… a girl?... Ah! I see."
Normally, Trudvar is not concerned about [Team 0] which has female agents and he wouldn't imagine girls to be spies… well, we didn't even catch any except that Thalmor girl we are keeping in prison.
"Alright, go to Elishka and let her handle it."
"Handle it?"
"Just tell her to handle it and she will understand."
It would leave a bad taste if we let a girl to that bastard torturer. Just hearing the wails of the men we send to him makes me shiver… and a female spy can be handled in the bathhouse without much effort. They normally break once they get to know they are going to be sent to the bathhouse and confess on the spot.
I was going to the bathhouse anyway so I just locked the office and headed there. Once I went through the backdoor which is for the sake of not causing a scene, I headed to the VIP room, there I saw Elishka.
"We were expecting you, Boss."
"Thanks, Elishka."
I don't really go to the bathhouse for any sort of action anymore except when it comes to the massage. Elishka's techniques are crazy and it always ends with sex anyway.
I laid on the bed and the massage season started.
"By the way, the ladies came this morning."
"Alina and Jull? What for?"
"Massage and some… advices."
Oh! So they still take some lessons from Elishka. It started when Alina moved in and wanted to learn from Jull but as both of them were amateurs, they decided to threaten Elishka to teach them some moves. I discovered right away and told her what to teach them and what to not teach them.
"Doing a good job there, Elishka."
"I just hope the ladies are doing well. It is fun to spend time with them."
"Good thing that they are not trying to kill you." I said and laughed.
"Well… every time I bring up an example about you they give me some cold glares… It got better in the end."
"Really?"
"Yes, I keep teaching bit by bit and they like it."
"Just make sure to not run out on things to teach them."
"That will never happen I can assure you."
"Good… did you get that spy girl?"
"Yes, Zena is washing her and will bring her in once you order."
"Good, let's do it."
I stood up from the stone bed and went down in the king-size plunge pool in the middle of my VIP room.
Elishka called some girl from the outside to bring Zena and the spy girl then sat next to me in the pool.
In a minute, Zena came in.
"Boss!"
"Zena, long time no see."
"Missed you too, Boss."
She walked in and jumped in the pool then sat on my other side. Zena is also a beauty that no one other than me can survive, all Redguard have an insane amount of Stamina but Zena is a crazy existence even among them.
Zena came to Winterhold not long ago and joined Elishka as her close friend and direct assistant. They both ran the place flawlessly. With them beside me like this, I look like an evil hedonist. Elishka on my left with her milf figure and Zena on the right with her athletic body. These girls were the first girls I slept with during the tournament two years ago and now they work for me in this place.
Anyway, two girls came in with a tied up girl whose face was covered with a bag, she was wearing some rags but looks like she got washed before she comes in. She was forced on her knees and the bag on her face was removed and… let's just say that I got shocked just like that.
I just thought that I was with the first two girls I slept with in the same room but… it was actually the first three girls.
"Lisette?!"
***
She was a bard from Solitude that got close to me after during the tournament. At first, I thought she was just a fangirl who wanted to jump in my bed like other girls (or so I thought way back then) and she managed to. She came to Winterhold a month ago claiming to be looking for work in Winterhold's Inns and wanted to meet with me, I thought that this would trouble Alina and Jull even though I met Lisette before I meet them and also my area of hedonism was limited to Elishka and the Queen Bees from the bathhouse. That is why I told Wulfur to meet her and he received a message sent by Svidi so it was more appropriate this way.
"But for you to be a spy!"
"..."
"I even took your virginity."
"..."
"Damn! I thought this method would work."
She kept looking at me with wide eyes. Still, I can see that intimidating her like this won't actually work. She experienced Little Jon and as a virgin at that.
While I was thinking about what to do, Lisette spoke.
"You… you are way larger than I thought you are!" She said.
"Well, I am a Nord and partial giant."
"... I see."
Lisette is a Breton so she is very small. Realistically and after I become this large, it won't fit in her anymore. Bretons are just tiny.
"So, mind solving this dilemma and spilling the beans? Who sent you?" I asked as I stood up in the pool and she saw everything.
"..."
She became silent again.
"Boss, it can still work. If you ejected before being erect, it would fit and grow inside." Elishka said something very evil that made Lisette shiver.
"Or we can just put her to work, she can take a cheep tag." Zena said something as devilish as Elishka.
Lisette seemed to be shivering but we can't do that… rather than being distasteful, it would surely affect our reputation.
"Enough, I think it is about time we take this seriously."
I walked to the Lisette, who was on her knees, and pulled her up from her neck.
"Now speak! Who, sent, you?"
With every word, I released my Aura.
A red smoke seemed to be covering my skin and appearing all around my body. The Tyrant Aura was based on the Madness Aura so it can affect minds just like it or even stronger. I didn't even need to overdo it as Lisette was started crying and begging after she was acting calm a while ago.
Finally, she screamed one name.
"Erikur!"
***
This idiotic twerp was causing me problems all the time. He was making it harder for me to expand to the West Holds and the sole reasons I couldn't establish any connection with the Silver-Blood family in Markarth.
Now he hired Lisette or rather, the Bards College of Solitude. It seems that he Bards around Skyrim are now a network of Spies… didn't see that one coming. It seemed that other than me, Headmaster Viarmo was also playing the role of 'Little Finger' except that I nailed it with the bathhouse idea.
I heard some interesting things from Lisette and it seemed they tried to recruit Jon Battle-Born and Svidi but Battle-Born was aware enough and kept Svidi safe. I remember Svidi's letter mentioning some stuff about Jon Battle-Born making trouble with some other students for things she wasn't aware of but he told her to keep a good distance from some people.
I need to thank him once I see him.
But for the Bards College to be a guild of spies! Well, the world sure is more interesting than the game.
Guess I need to pay them a visit.
In the end, I decided that Lisette would be kept in Winterhold for now until I have a use for her. She will be kept under watch and will be followed around by guards, she is still of use.
Anyway, on the way home, Ongeim met me and told me that the Fleet will be testing a new Ship at dawn. A fully powered ship with the prototype of the Magicka Reactor.
Hehe! This will be the dawn of a new age.
