Thoughts On Percy

“I’m sure it wasn’t that bad, right?... I mean, you probably went through a lot of embarrassment… so did I, but in the end I thought it was just weird, nothing like evil or anything like that… I was actually surprised to see that he turned out to be less of a demon than they made him seem…” - Alice said playfully, as she thought she had a pretty decent experience with Percy, so she believed Faye must have had the same. But even though Faye was glad to see her sister in a good mood, she really didn’t fully agree with her, as she did think her experience with Percy was a bit mediocre, so she tried to explain herself a bit more, even when it seemed like Alice only thought her little sister was exaggerating.

“I mean, no, it wasn’t terrible, but… It was very embarrassing having to talk to him every single day, it wasn’t exactly the most pleasant, or fun thing… I don’t think he has done anything horrible… not yet, but maybe he will in the future… So maybe he wasn’t bad now but I really think he could turn worse the next time I see him…” - Faye replied, but got a bit shy to talk, as her sister kept giving her a mocking stare, like she didn’t believe anything that she said. She didn’t feel like Alice was taking her seriously, but instead of getting embarrassed, the two sisters just laughed together, and tried not to talk much about Percy. But since Faye was very curious to know how the demon king was with her sister, she decided to find out what was Alice’s opinion of him.

"And what about you?? How has he been treating you??" - Faye asked, with a bit of fear, from finding out that Percy wasn’t being too nice with her older sister, and Alice was living a mediocre life as well. And while Alice hesitated to respond at first, she thought about what she had done with Percy this week, and was glad to tell her sister that her experience was quite positive.

“Well, he only comes to visit me once a day, and we barely talk… He has made me do a couple of things, like work for him, and he did give me a few hours to explore the castle yesterday, but apart from that… Oh, yea, I just remembered what we did in those interactions… So we basically….” - Alice replied, trying to stay calm, and casually narrate all of the events that happened between her and Percy, before quickly realizing that it was more than she remembered, and she had to explain quite a lot. But as she knew she had to tell everything to Faye, Alice got a bit excited, as she couldn’t wait to share her surprisingly pleasant experience with the demon king. And while Percy also listened closely, he couldn’t help but smile, as he knew exactly what he was going to hear from Alice (or at least he hoped he would talk about what he was thinking of).

Alice tried to tell Faye everything she did this week, but she quickly realized that she actually didn’t interact that much with Percy. It was weird, and a bit suspicious, that the demon king would have talked more with Faye, and done more memorable things with her than Alice, or at least that’s what she thought, but she tried not to think much about it, since she also did quite a few things with Percy, and they definitely had to be mentioned.

Faye felt a bit of envy for her sister when she told her that Percy made her clean the castle, as she thought the demon king just ordered Alice to do some basic chores, while she had to serve drinks and foods to the orcs that almost **** her twice. {if Toothbrush = 0}Faye was particularly upset at the fact that Alice had full cleaning equipment to do her job, as she thought Percy would have **** her to do something embarrassing, or barely gave her anything tools to work for him (although she was glad that her sister didn’t actually go through that).{endif} {if Toothbrush = 1}But apparently Alice didn’t have it so easy, as she then told Faye about how Percy **** her to clean the entire floor of the main hall of the castle with only a toothbrush. Faye immediately felt like she was right in her older sister’s shoes, as she was also a bit embarrassed when she worked as a waitress for Percy twice.{endif}

After telling Faye about her first cleaning job, Faye knew she had to bring up the time she had to cook for Percy. As she narrated the anecdote, she realized that the demon king was giving her more of domestic tasks than her sister, but since both Faye and her despised the things he made them do equally, they didn’t think much of it. {if Personal Meal = 1}Faye did think Alice had it easy when cooking a personal meal for Percy, as she imagined he would make her do something much more complicated. Faye wasn’t upset at the fact that Alice didn’t have to work so much though, it just sounded a bit less dramatic than what Percy did to her. {if Royal Banquet}Faye did think it was unfair how Percy made her sister cook a banquet for all of his royal, evil friends, so she empathized with Alice straight away, as it felt similar to how she had to serve food for all of Percy’s horny, evil orcs at that filthy bar.{endif}

But since Alice already shared her experiences with doing tasks for Percy, she felt like her sister had pretty much done the same thing as she did, just a little bit more embarrassing. In reality, it was like Alice’s tasks were more tedious, while Faye just had simple tasks, but were planned specifically for her, so she could feel humiliated, or that’s what the two elf sisters came to a conclusion. And while it was strangely comforting to know that they both received sort of the same tasks, at least in the amount of them, Alice then remembered she had something else to share with her sister.

{if Library = 1}Alice still had to tell Faye about when Percy took her to the library, and while it wasn’t such a remarkable moment, or not something too important to mention, Alice didn’t want to skip past it. So as she told Faye about how she spent a few hours in the library with Percy, Alice slowly started to notice how her little sister was trying to contain her laughter, and she didn’t know why. Soon enough, Faye made a joke about Percy taking her sister out for a date in the library, and even the demon king laughed, as she was still listening closely.

Alice tried not to laugh, but the more she thought about it, the more she realized that it was sort of true. She of course didn’t consider that interaction with Percy a date, and if it was, it was probably the worst date she had ever been. Alice was disgusted just to think about that idea, but she did feel like it wasn’t that bad, since she did like the chance of visiting a library again, and being able to read more books, even though they were not the best genre, and a bit explicit. But as Alice didn’t want to admit that she liked going to the library with Percy to her sister, because she knew how she would react, she decided to keep it to herself, and save the embarrassment (and probably being mocked by Faye).{endif}

{if Playroom = 1}Alice still had to tell Faye about when Percy took her to the playroom, and pretty much **** her to play games with him. And while it wasn’t such a remarkable moment, or not something too important to mention, Alice didn’t want to skip past it, even when she didn’t like thinking of it. So as she told Faye about how she spent a few hours in the playroom with Percy, Alice slowly started to notice how her little sister was trying to contain her laughter, and she didn’t know why. Soon enough, Faye made a joke about Alice not being good at games, and that’s why she didn’t find the experience enjoyable, and even Percy laughed, as she was still listening closely.

Alice was definitely not laughing, even though her sister was just making lighthearted jokes, and she did find them a little silly. Alice was still bitter for Percy’s decision to take her to the playroom, because she clearly wanted to go to the library, not play games with him. And while it didn’t seem that bad, Alice knew that she really didn’t enjoy those hours she spent with Percy, since they felt like he was forcing her to do something she didn’t want to, and it only made her desire reading some books at the library. But as Alice didn’t want to talk more about that topic, she decided to stop sharing her experiences with her sister, because she would have probably laughed at them, and just move on to something else.{endif}

After explaining everything that she did this week, Alice ended up realizing not only that she didn’t do too much stuff with Percy, but that she also didn’t find it that bad. She enjoyed herself in some moments, and while Alice was embarrassed pretty much every time the demon king made a joke, she still laughed at them sometimes, even when they were a bit awkward. So looking past all the uncomfortable flirting, Alice felt like Percy was actually pretty good with her, or at least he wasn’t as evil as they expected, and Faye thought the same thing. So even though it was hard to imagine Percy being nice with Alice, it did seem like he was able to be somewhat decent during this first week, and gave Alice a surprisingly torable experience.

And as Percy heard exactly what he wanted to hear, he felt the need to smile, as he noticed the moment Alice realized he wasn’t as bad as she thought. He knew he had made the right choices to treat her nicely, and at least she didn’t hate him, so that was a very rewarding outcome for him, which he was hoping all week to see. But after the two sisters shared both of their experiences, the demon king had to continue listening to their conversations, as Faye was a bit caught off guard to hear Alice’s opinion on Percy, but in a good way.

“Well, I’m glad to hear he’s been nice to you… Do you think he could do something bad in the future though?” - Faye asked slightly confused, as she wasn’t expecting Alice to give her such a positive response, and didn’t know what to say about her surprisingly optimistic opinion of Percy’s action. Faye didn’t have the best experience, but it was certainly relieving for her to see that her older sister seemed fine, and even a bit happy, although it was a little off putting. And since she was also slightly worried about what the demon king could do next, Faye remained a bit suspicious, and Alice noticed, but she knew it wouldn’t be a good idea to make her little sister worry, so she tried not saying much.

“I don’t really know, it hasn’t been the most fun but at least it was tolerable… I hope he keeps treating us like this, or we might have to escape together soon… although I am a little curious to explore more of this castle, I’m not sure if I really want to leave yet…” - Alice replied playfully, so Faye could forget about her worries a little, and share a laugh with her sister. Even Percy laughed, and he knew that Alice was being sincere, even when it didn’t sound like it, and it was very likely that she was just lying to make her sister feel better. But since Alice didn’t have much more to say, or she didn’t want to talk more about her experience, she tried to get Faye to talk more, as she still had some doubts that needed to be answered, and she mostly just wanted to confirm that her little sister was treated well, or decently by Percy.

“But what about your general opinion about him?? Has he been feeding you well?? Are you satisfied with your life conditions?? Are you able to sleep well?? Do you think he could be providing you more? Do you think you need more to be happy in this current situation? - Alice asked eagerly, very curious, and hoping Faye would give her a nice response, as it seemed like she had a nice experience with Percy, at least from what she said. But as Faye took some time to think of what to say, trying to comprehend all of those questions, she started to realize that her opinion on Percy did come from all the things she did to her, but more of the small interactions they had, not just the tasks, or the village trip.

And while Faye seemed a bit nervous to give her answer to her sister, Alice couldn’t help but get anxious, as she didn’t know what she was going to say. From everything that she told her, Alice really hoped Faye was treated well by Percy, since she was fed properly, and living as a **** wasn’t as horrible as she expected. But as her sister’s opinion could be influenced by a lot of things, Alice couldn’t be sure of anything, not until Faye finally gave her predictably concerning answer.

“Honestly, yea… I think he has been pretty nice with me… at least he isn’t feeding me anything poisonous or anything… He gives me everything I need to live, so there’s not much more I could ask for… Of course, all I really need left is you… I miss you every single night…” - Faye replied, with a heartfelt, carefree, and even cheerful smile, as she was a little timid to tell her sister that she was being treated well by the demon king. And while Alice was extremely relieved to hear her response, she still couldn’t believe that Faye was telling the truth, not until she realized that her little sister’s smile wasn’t lying, and she was truly satisfied, or at least not so distressed by Percy’s training.

“So you are saying that he has been treating you good?? He is being… nice to you??... What a pleasant surprise…” - Alice asked back playfully, as she couldn’t contain her happiness from hearing that the demon king was pretty nice to her sister, even when it seemed very unlikely that he would. But as it was now clear that Percy behaved, and took care of her little sister well, Alice was less worried about what happened with Faye.

“Yea! He mostly feeds me good food and isn’t as rude as I thought he was… He usually controlled his anger and didn’t even insult me, or disrespect me in any form…” - Faye exclaimed in excitement, and kept a lively demeanor, which Alice found a bit comforting, as it seemed like her sister was at least treated well, even if her overall experience was underwhelming. And after confirming that her sister was in fact living in decent conditions, even when it didn’t sound like it, Alice chose to be optimistic, and share her opinion on Percy’s training (which neither of the sisters knew anything about).

“Honestly, he has been the same with me… I mean, it’s not nice to live as a ****, but at least I have a good room and even when I was bored he managed to keep me entertained a little… The food was okay, I guess… but I wasn’t expecting to laugh at some of his jokes… I don’t know, it was a weird experience, but I’m glad at least he didn’t treat us like animals…” - Alice said, slightly embarrassed, and still in a bit of disbelief, from realizing that Percy wasn’t actually so harsh with her, which did make a little bit of sense, but it sounded too good of him. So after learning that both her, and her sister were being fed well, and Percy provided them basic things to live peacefully, Alice felt like she couldn’t really hate the demon king anymore, as it was clear that he took good care of them, or at least it seemed like there was still hope, so she had finally come to a conclusion...
