Free Web NovelChapter 85: The Royal Decree Can’t Drop
Nimrod watched as the guards came to escort Steward Carl away. The poor man wanted to walk away with some dignity, but how could Nimrod allow that?
So, with a smile, Nimrod said, "Steward Carl, I can’t just let you leave with your dignity intact. That would make me look like a weakling in front of my women. Both of you guards, take him to the bathroom to clean it up. Then he can do the dishes. On top of that, he’ll do it every day forever. Ha ha! Trying to turn down the mercy I wanted to show you by simply letting you clean our bathroom? Well, Carl, now you get the best of both worlds."
Carl began to freak out as he looked at Maria and Kathy as if he was looking at a natural disaster. Then he actually tried to run away, screaming, "No! You will never take me alive! I will not be made to clean up after the ungodly trinity!"
Nimrod looked at his guards chasing down Steward Carl with his mouth hanging open. Maria took a cup of tea and joined Kathy and Nimrod to enjoy it. Maria enjoyed the flavor of the tea and said to Nimrod, "Nimrod, it’s not the worst thing in the world to have to clean up after us. That reaction was a bit uncalled for."
Kathy agreed with Maria as she said, "Maria, I agree. It was uncalled for him to dare to choose washing dishes over cleaning our bathroom. It is odd that this giant royal palace only has one bathroom. But you can’t always have everything in life, well, at least until we move into Shadow Spire Citadel. I’ve been in there already and almost every room in that place has its own fully equipped bathroom."
Hearing this, Nimrod’s eyes began to sparkle with delight. He could house all of his future subordinate harem members in those rooms. Nimrod could just imagine it now, a massive citadel filled with thousands of gorgeous and beautiful women.
Looking at Maria with a serious face, Nimrod said, "This will be a top priority for us as soon as Fate is dead in a few days and his female guards are taken by me to be my new harem members. Maria, you will be in charge of making sure that they remain obedient to me at all times or I will sentence them to an entire week without any facials or manicures."
Kathy heard this and, after taking another sip of her fragrant tea, said to Nimrod, "Nimrod, why do those women get to have facials and manicures? Me and Maria don’t get those right now the way it is."
Maria nodded her head. It was lucky for her and Kathy that they both knew how to take care of those issues themselves, even if the results may vary.
Nimrod enjoyed his tea even more and responded to Kathy, saying, "Come now, Kathy, you know how rich Fate is with all of the taxes he has been collecting lately, so it can’t surprise you much if I pamper my new harem members."
This explanation seemed to satisfy these two women. But the various members of the Blood Maidens and Dark Paladins covertly watching Nimrod began to wonder if these two women were born stupid or if being around Nimrod had made them this way.
It was at this moment that the powder that the Blood Maiden member released into the air began to take effect. Nimrod felt his stomach begin to bubble with discomfort. Then the same thing happened to Kathy and Maria.
Nimrod looked at Kathy and Maria and said to them, "Excuse me, ladies, I need to take care of something that suddenly came up."
Nimrod got up and slowly began to walk away. But moments later, Maria and Kathy started to feel the effects of this powerful present from Ruby’s subordinate. Kathy and Maria looked at each other, then they both made a run for the bathroom.
Nimrod saw both of them hot on his trail, so he broke into a run straight towards the one bathroom that his massive palace had.
Kathy called out to Nimrod, saying, "Nimrod, you need to let your future fiancée use the restroom before you."
Maria, hearing this, called out to Nimrod, saying, "No, Nimrod, you need to let your most loyal maid use the restroom first. After all, a gentleman always lets a lady go first."
Nimrod sneered at both of these women. They want to challenge him? Well, they’re in for a surprise. Nimrod’s feet ran even faster after those statements. No woman was going to use a man’s porcelain throne before he did.
Nimrod arrived at the bathroom first, as a man must. After all, what kind of man does not scout out the area before his harem arrives? Nimrod looked at the two guards standing in front of the bathroom door and yelled at them, "Get out of the way! I have to drop a royal decree."
The guard raised his hand and stopped Nimrod dead in his tracks. "Sorry, Prince Nimrod, as per the law, prisoners are allowed to take an uninterrupted bathroom break for as long as necessary. Currently, the former steward Carl is using the restroom. Then he has to clean it. After that, it will be at least three hours before it is available at the earliest."
Maria and Kathy had just turned the corner and heard this statement as they danced around anxiously. Nimrod looked at these guards in front of him and screamed out loud to them, "You idiots! Who cares about some prisoner’s rights? Only my needs matter, not some former steward."
The royal guards held firm and refused Nimrod, saying, "I’m sorry, my prince, but this is the law. Ever since the great bathroom break uprisings of King Edmund Bloodsworn’s generation, your grandfather made it a law that no one is allowed to disrupt a servant or poor person’s bathroom break, or it may result in uprisings or rebellion like it did in your grandfather’s generation. It was thanks to his genius foresight that our kingdom still stands strong against the poor and disenfranchised of today." freewēbnoveℓ.com
Nimrod almost crapped his pants at the mention of his grandfather. Even Nimrod’s father did not dare to break Edmund’s rules for fear that old bastard might be hiding in some crypt somewhere, ready to take his throne back. Edmund is supposed to be dead, but in this world, it’s hard for evil bastards like that to ever die. After all, nice people die young, while evil tax-crazed bastards like his grandfather will live forever. So, sucking in a deep breath of air, Nimrod said, "Fine, we will wait for Carl to be done, but you guys are in so much trouble after this."
These royal guards just ignored the prince. After all, he does not have the authority to punish them at all in this situation. At this point, Maria and Kathy began to chicken dance with Nimrod as they waited the next three hours to use the bathroom. At one point, Kathy was smart enough to pull Maria along with her to use the restroom at a nearby restaurant. As for Nimrod, they decided to let him rot.
