Making Plans

Ironically, my reward for capturing my second Princess was Everlasting, so I just got the ten credits back. Plus one that was probably a Stress Defense rebate. I wasn't spending any just now though, as with something of a base I wanted to save up for Libertine Service. Which would open up Fighting Flowers.

By morning, it would be two and a half days till my wolf was captured, plenty of time to do some planning here.

Once my device let me know Snow had been captured I had the Queen, who I was just going to call Hilde now, lead me to my maids. I was right that Snow had changed into one of her normal outfits and was helping Ella clean.

Seeing me and her step mother, Snow quickly got to her feet, looking at me in shock. "My Prince, I've come to realize that you own me. Ella says you own her too."

"Indeed. And I own your stepmother as well. Needless to say, the wedding is off, the three of you are my servants now." Snow just bowed her head, looking sad. "Cheer up, Snow, working for me won't be nearly as bad as working for your stepmother was." That got a shy smile, much better.

"Okay, ladies we need to do some planning and I might as well explain to you what's going on. You got anything like a map room Hilde, and we should grab your mirror while we're at it."

The Queen looked a bit indignant at my shortening of her name, which changed to shock when I mentioned the mirror, but she kept a brave face on it. "Yes, Master indeed I do. My mirror, which you are apparently aware of, has greatly assisted in map-making."

"My Lord? Should we be calling you Master too?" Ella asked tentatively.

I thought about that for a second. I was mostly having Hilde say it to put her in her place. Did I need the meek maids calling me master as well? Nah. "No, Ella, you and Snow here know your place. No need to rub your nose in it. Hilde here still needs to wrap her head around the fact that she is my property. Unless you want to, I suppose, I'm not opposed to it."

Ella at least, was all smiles. I was still the Lord she'd dedicated herself to, that she loved. "I think I would like to call you Master."

Snow nodded. "It would feel strange not to if my mother is honestly."

I shrugged. "Okay, so be it, but this is just when we're alone. In public, act as before, though I still expect to be obeyed." I received nods, and the Queen led us to her throne room. After she removed some defenses, I carried the mirror, which wasn't nearly as heavy as it looked, and she took us to a small room with a large central table and a number of maps rolled up for storage.

"Okay, so this is where I explain a bit of what I'm doing. That way, you ladies can help out." I selected a good-sized map that covered the bulk of the Enchanted Forest and laid it out on the table. "What I'm looking for are Princesses or potential Princesses, and of course others that can help out in my quest like Hilde here."

Ella looked shocked. "I'm a potential Princess?"

I nodded. "Despite the way your stepfamily treated you, your parents were both nobility. The Prince was looking for a bride, or more like his father wanted him to. But he might have discovered you if I hadn't found you first. Snow here, of course, is very much a Princess despite how Hilde treated her out of petty jealousy." The Queen looked like she wanted to say something, but wisely stayed quiet. "My flattery was sincere, by the way, you are amazing looking and have no reason to be jealous of your daughter just because some stupid mirror thinks she's more fair. Especially now that you look younger." She looked startled again, but then gave me what looked to be an honest smile.

"Now, from what I understand, the forest covers a number of kingdoms or what used to be kingdoms. Somewhere in here is a tower hidden by a minor witch, where she's keeping a Princess she kidnapped as a child. I expect that with the mirror you can find it?"

Hilde nodded her head, looking more sure of herself. She knew she had value to me over the simple maids. "Yes, of course, Master. I can tell you of others as well if you like." I nodded and motioned for her to elaborate. This was exactly what I wanted. "To the south east of us, where the forest heads up into the highlands, is the Kingdom of Dun Broch, they are said to have a unmarried Princess. To the north east is a fallen castle where a kingdom once stood. In it, a Princess lies in enchanted slumber guarded by a powerful Fae witch."

"That would be Maleficent?"

"Yes Master, that is her. She is normally more powerful than me in an open fight, I admit but with the right preparations I believe we could take her, and the Princess she guards."

I nodded, yes, I definitely wanted Maleficent under my control. "Very much on the list, but let's look at others first."

Hilde nodded, then continued. "North of here lies the Kingdom of Corona. They do not have a Princess, but they lost one when she was very young. Perhaps your tower prisoner. Along the coast to the west is the Kingdom of Tirulia, which has just a Prince. Across the sea from them lies another kingdom I do not know much about, but have heard it has a Princess."

Well, that was a wealth of information. "What about south from here?"

"Desert wasteland that eventually leads to the Kingdom of Agrabah. I hear they have a Princess as well, but the desert is full of dangers." Fuck yeah, it is, if this world contains half the shit from the show I was very much not prepared to go there. Too bad too, as Jasmine was a straight up hottie and grabbing a genie would be epic. No way I was risking that cave though.

Maybe later on a snatch and grab could be organized on dragon back...

"Okay, that works for now. Find the location of that tower, and I understand you are something of an alchemist?"

"That I am Master."

"Great, work on making a potion that would greatly increase the size of a woman's breasts. Oh, and while you are at it, do some spying on the Kingdom of Tirulia, I understand their Prince is going to have a boating accident. I need to know when that is going to happen."

Rapunzel, Aurora, and Ariel would be enough to finish my quest and bag me Maleficent as well. Hopefully. Was I feeling greedy? Dun Broch had a hot redhead who was already a combatant. If that was Arendale across the sea, I bet I could convince a 'cursed' Queen to put on a bracelet fairly easily and charm her sister into another one. Her ice powers could be invaluable. Not to mention the idea of putting Jasmine in my harem, and while the cave would be a stupid risk, I bet Hilde and her mirror could find a certain bottle hidden amongst some old pots.

A lot of risk for an easy world, but the setup could prepare me for wherever I ended up next. Maybe even some more hidden quests.

"Ella, Snow. While the Queen is busy, let's head to my room, and Ella can show Snow how to serve me properly."

"Yes Master!" Ella said eagerly, she hadn't had sex in too long, and she was sure her new friend Snow would love it as much as she did.
