Luke wandered down the wide stone steps of his new home, the former Castle Heindenreich, now renamed Castle Wagner in his honor. He was hung over from the gathering in his honor the night before and was now in search of a cup of coffee. Luke's hand found the top of the wall on the spiral stairway and descended toward the kitchen/dining room area. The past week had been a whirlwind for the young businessman from Michigan. Seven days prior, Luke had found out that he had not only inherited a European fortune and the aforementioned castle, but he also inherited the family title: Count Wagner XII! Right now, though, Luke didn't feel like a nobleman or a multimillionaire. He felt like an ordinary twentysomething in search of his morning pick-me-up.
When Luke hit the ground floor, he followed his nose to the smell of morning food and drink. Entering the kitchen, Luke saw Tobias, the assistant chef that he had observed pounding his new maid, Marie, in the linen closet the day before, making breakfast. The large cook was expertly preparing the morning meal consisting of eggs, bacon, toast with jam, and afpelstrudel. Tobias saw Luke enter the kitchen and stood at attention.
"Good Morning, Sire!" Tobias greeted Luke in a deep baritone voice that resonated throughout the galley. "Breakfast will be served shortly, my Lord. Would you care to wait in the dining room?"
Luke didn't think this was a question, but more of a request. "I'd just really like a cup of coffee, Tobias." he replied.
"Of course, my Lord. Please allow me to finish then Anna will serve you in the dining room in just a moment." Tobias stated and went back to his work.
Anna!
Luke thought as he made his way to the smaller dining area. In his search for java, he had nearly forgotten about the unbelievable tryst he and the blonde bombshell had had the previous night. Luke replayed the sexual encounter in his mind, recalling first the pressure point trick that Anna had used to prolong Luke's orgasm, then the contractions from her pussy that milked him of every drop of stored cum in his swollen balls. Luke felt his cock stir in his pajamas and began to stand to adjust himself when his blonde servant entered the dining room with Luke's first morning meal in his new home on a silver serving tray.
"Good Morning, Sire," Anna cheerfully exclaimed as she set the tray in front of Luke then placed a linen napkin in his lap. She brushed her fingers across Luke's half-stiff dick as she spread the napkin across his thighs. "I hope you slept well, my Lord. The festivities here can be quite... draining." the fair-haired knockout spoke as her finger traced a line up Luke's ever-hardening shaft. "I hope you enjoy your meal, Sire. It will help you regain your energy." With that, Anna stood then curtsied slightly.
"Thank you, Anna. I'm sure it will be quite... regenerative." Luke replied as he nodded at his sexy employee. Anna left the dining room, her shapely ass jiggling seductively as she walked, and Luke ate in peace. As he was finishing, Sophia, the red headed baronetess, entered with a mug of coffee and sat next to Luke.
"Good Morning, Luke. I trust you had a restful first night in your new home?" Sophia asked the young Count.
"It was very... peaceful. Thank you, Sophia." Luke replied. "I'm sorry I didn't see you leave the party last night. There were so many people to meet and speak with that I didn't get a chance to return the favor of your dance before you retired."
"I do apologize, my Lord," Sophia said, "But Mother suggested we leave the party so that you could focus on your new subjects. Speaking of which, you are expected at the town hall in less than an hour. You are required to meet with more of the town elders and councilmen and attend meetings with the various departments."
"What am I supposed to say to them?" Luke asked. "I've been here for less than two days. I know virtually nothing about the local politics or even the county layout!"
"You are the new Count. I'm sure you'll think of something profound to say to them." Sophia teased, a sly grin on her lips and a twinkle in her jade eyes. She picked up her coffee mug and started out of the dining room. Luke admired the baronetess' curvy bottom as well as she walked toward the exit.
"Sophia..." Luke stopped the scarlet beauty. She stopped just before exiting the doorway. Luke thought for a moment the said, "Never mind. We'll talk when I get back tonight."

After breakfast, Luke beat a hasty retreat to his room where Johann, his butler, was waiting to help prepare the young nobleman for his meeting at the county seat later that morning. Another suit that fit like it was made for Luke was pulled from the enormous closet/dressing room; a smart charcoal gray two-piece with a black tie and silver clip emblazoned with the Wagner crest. Luke was admiring his new clothes in the full-length mirror when Johann snapped a gold chain around his collar and unfurled a long dark cloth down his back.
"A cape, Johann?" Luke puzzled. "Really? Is a cape absolutely necessary for this meeting?"
"Of course, Sire." Johann answered in his thickly accented English. "It is the proper attire for a meeting such as this. This cape has been in your family for over two hundred years. It is expected of you to wear it, my Lord."
"Very well, Johann..." Luke replied grudgingly. He had always wanted to be a superhero and had thrown blankets over his shoulders to imitate his favorite comic book characters. But looking in the mirror now, Luke thought he looked more like Dracula than Batman in this crazy get-up. He resigned himself to his predicament and made his way down the stone stairs to the limousine waiting to take the new Count to the governmental building in Freistadt for his first meeting with the city and county officials.
Luke spent most of the day meeting with politicians and government employees at the county offices. The men shook his hand and asked his opinion on all manner of topics while quite a few of the women fawned over and flirted with the attractive and available American. Even though Luke felt ridiculous in the black cape, he attracted quite a bit of attention from the female contingent at the courthouse. His German was still rusty, and the Austrian dialect was different from the source language, but Luke still caught a few of the words and phrases being directed toward him from the ladies.
Gut aussehend (handsome), erotisch (sexy),
and
hol ihn in mein bett! (Get him in my bed!)
were the three that stuck out most. Luke didn't think he was that handsome or sexy, and he didn't think the cape was the difference in the Austrian women wanting to get him in their beds, but part of it was.
Power and money,
Luke thought,
Potent aphrodisiacs.

Luke arrived back at the castle just before dusk. He had met with councilmembers, both male and female, who had asked his opinion on budgets and taxes and crime rates. He met with city planners that wanted his views on designs and highway counts and architectural blueprints. He lunched with the mayor (he of the handlebar mustache fame) then met with the provincial governor of Upper Austria who actually bowed to
him!
It was a whirlwind of a day and Luke was glad to be back in somewhat familiar surroundings. He couldn't wait to get back to his room and take off the cape. Sophia met him at the door as he entered the parlor.
"Good Evening, Count Wagner. The Lord of the manor has returned!" Sophia teased Luke and genuflected low while unsuccessfully trying to stifle her laughter. "Nice cape, Sire!"
"So, you think that's funny, huh?" Luke asked the red-haired baronetess. He quickly removed his cape and moved toward Sophia to playfully put the long black cloth around her shoulders. "Maybe YOU should be the Count around here from now on!" He chased Sophia around the entryway then caught her in his arms with the cape covering them both. Luke looked deep into Sophia's emerald eyes and moved to kiss her full, inviting lips. Sophia tilted her head and stood on her tiptoes to meet the young nobleman's mouth. Their lips brushed quickly together then Luke stood back sharply. Out of the corner of his eye, Luke saw the Baroness Lehner, Sophia's mother, enter the parlor. Luke removed his cape from Sophia's shoulders and released her swiftly from his embrace.
"Baroness," Luke exclaimed while smoothing his suitcoat lapels, "I, uhhhh... I was just, uhhhh... telling Sophia about my day at the municipal building"
