The next morning, Dread met with select merchant princes in his study. He'd earned the trust and loyalty of them all, save the one he executed for being a spy, but only a small number among them had been invited.
The men asked after Princess Aelodi, eager to feed her their seed, but Dread told them she was currently indisposed. Elaxia charmed the royal girl to touch herself while repeating a specific phrase. "Fuck my whore holes, daddy. Hurt me, daddy."
Dread stole the idea from Yorn but making her say daddy added an extra layer of depravity. He promised the merchant princes they would have more chances to enjoy Aelodi in the future.
The merchant princes were thriving under Dread's rule. The removal of all tariffs and restrictions increased their profits and lined their pockets. Dread acted as an intermediary between the merchant princes and his many criminal subjects. He offered the merchant princes protection from Goren and the other gang leaders in exchange for their loyalty. The merchant princes sided with Dread because of profits, but he didn't care about their motivations. They were his puppets, dancing to the pull of his strings, and their motives were irrelevant so long as they moved when he twitched his fingers.
"I have a few businesses in the middle district," Vallim was saying. "I'm thinking about moving everything to the outer district."
Other merchant princes murmured their agreement.
"There's no need," Dread said. "I will take the middle district before long. Don't bother relocating, just wait."
The merchant princes spoke up, asking how he planned to take the middle district. Dread responded in the vaguest of terms. He would happily use these men but he didn't trust them. Telling them his plans served no purpose so he kept them in the dark.
"Tell me about Anthony's other daughters," Dread said. "Princess Nera and Princess Myla."
"Nera is a renowned fencer," Vallim said. "The girl has won multiple major tournaments and she's just nineteen. Her skill is formidable and many consider her a genius with a blade. Beyond fencing, she's won no small number of matches in the arena."
"Princess Nera is a breathtaking beauty," Galvin added. The cloth trader sat comfortably across from Dread. "Many suitors have pursued her hand in marriage but she's infamous for her impossibly high standards."
"Nera is the king's favorite, the apple of his eye, and it's no secret. He dotes on her and caters to her every whim," Elvar added.
The king's favorite? Dread desire to subjugate Nera grew. The more the betrayer king loved the daughter, the more he would suffer when she fell into whoredom.
"Where does she spend her days?" Dread asked.
Vallim cracked a deviant grin in Dread's direction. "Do you plan to take Nera as you've taken Aelodi?" he asked.
"Where?" Dread repeated.
The old drunk Elvar cleared his throat and spoke. "I'm not sure, my king. Nera was a fixture on the practice yard but she's been missing. No one knows where she went."
Vallim spoke. "Rumor says the king sent her away from the Silken City."
The king sent his favorite daughter away. Dread revealed too much of his true designs to Anthony when he threatened his other daughters. The king responded by sending his favorite far from the Silken City and out of Dread's reach. But where?
"Any indication where he sent her?" Dread asked.
"None, my king," Galvin said. "We can only guess she's been sent away because she hasn't been seen in the practice yard. Nera spent all of her time there, but she hasn't been sighted in days. We will keep watch and inform you if anything changes."
"Thank you, Galvin," Dread said. "What of Princess Myla?"
The merchant princes exchanged excited glances.
"Myla is one of the most popular performers in the Silken City. A master of song and dance, her act is a sight to behold," Galvin said.
"She's that good, is she?" Dread asked.
"Yes, my king," Elvar said. "I've seen her perform many times and she stirred such desire in me. Myla's beauty is otherworldly, but that's also why Queen Beth despises her."
Dread grinned to himself. The queen despised Princess Myla? He wondered how he might use that information to his advantage. Nera was out of reach so he would settle for the royal songbird.
"Why does the queen dislike her daughter?" Dread asked.
"That's just the thing," Vallim said. "Myla may not be the queen's daughter. I don't know if you've seen the youngest princess before, but she has a very unique appearance. She's slight with pale green eyes and her hair is naturally pink, the color of candy cotton. Even her mannerisms defy the common. She has an ethereal way about her. Often dreamy while awake and her attention is fleeting. Myla projects a supernatural allure. Rumor paints a picture that Myla was born out of wedlock, the child of a forbidden union between Anthony and a fairy."
A fairy? Dread crooked an eyebrow. For such an ardent family man, Anthony strayed far from his wife. Fairies were creatures of legend but Dread had witnessed enough legends in the flesh to know they existed. Real though they were, encountering a fairy was very rare.
"I can't imagine Queen Beth appreciates such a public and obvious reminder of the king's infidelity," Dread said.
Vallim laughed. "The relationship between Beth and Anthony has long been strained, even before your arrival in the city, and the disgracing of Princess Aelodi has only widened the chasm between them."
"I hear they rarely talk," Elvar said. "They never sup in the same dining room and they sleep in separate quarters."
"I see," Dread said. The beginnings of a plan formed in his mind. "And Myla is still in the Silken City?"
Galvin nodded. "I saw her perform just last night and I was so pent up afterwards. I had to attend a brothel."
"Thank you for your time," Dread said, rising. "As always, the course of my questions must not leave these walls. I have no mercy nor patience for loose lips. Betray me, or speak of my intentions, and you will grow intimate with suffering before you perish."
The merchant princes vocalized their assent, some openly afraid after his threat, and Dread bid them goodbye.

After the meeting, Dread returned home. The temperature inside his mansion climbed considerably as the midday sun shone sweltering beams through the windows. He came to collect Princess Aelodi from her bed so he burst into her room.
The royal blonde rested on the bed on her back, hand moving sluggishly between her legs, and she blinked up at the ceiling in a leaden daze.
Her lips moved but she spoke in a whisper. Elaxia's charm forced her to repeat the same phrase for the entire morning while touching herself and she uttered the words in a hushed tone. Dread leaned over the bed to listen and she remained idle. The flat cast to her eyes gave the impression that her cognizance had fled and only an empty vessel remained.
"Fuck my whore holes, daddy. Hurt me, daddy," Aelodi murmured. "Fuck my whore holes, daddy. Hurt me, daddy." The words spilled from her emotionless mouth but carried no weight.
A healer who worked under Vice Criminal Goren treated the princess's welts, and her skin had been restored to its previously pristine condition. Dread loosened the buckles restraining Aelodi's ankles to her bed. At his request, Elaxia released the princess from her charmed compulsion.
The royal blonde's hands fell limp at her sides and her dopey mouth hung open. A line of drool spilled from the corner of her mouth and dripped on her clavicle. The princess's cunt glistened but she made no move to touch herself once released from the enchantment. Splayed out on the bed, she was lethargic to the point of immobility.
The very long session with her old teachers, which carried on until dawn after Dread excused himself, had snapped some vital thread within the princess. When he collected her early that morning, she had been sprawled out on the floor coated head to toe in semen, incoherent and motionless. Outside of the repeating phrase Elaxia had charmed into her mouth, the girl had not spoken a single word since.
Dread snapped his fingers in front of her gorgeous features but she didn't even blink.
"What's wrong with her?" Elaxia asked.
Dread shrugged. "Maybe I broke her."
He worked his hands between her legs and penetrated her wet sex with two fingers. Aelodi persisted in resembling a large doll, prone and stiff. He didn't know what to make of her current state.
"Aelodi?" he said into her ear, loud.
The girl didn't shift a muscle.
