#25 of The Chronicles of Lore

Lore meets with the object of the emperor's desires, and begins corrupting him as well.


With the Kgosi properly scared for the first time since he'd been captured, it was time to move on to the next stage of the plan. The naga prince made his way through the encampment, smiling to himself as he watched the soldiers engaging in various bits of play with one another. He had worked hard to start spreading the general feeling of relaxation and camaraderie with one another through the army, and it was nice to see it starting to bear fruit.

That said, he spent more time ignoring them than attending to them. Even when the officers noticed him going by, he fixed them with a stare that took him out of himself and into them to make sure that they stayed focused on their fun rather than him.

Nobody needs to know what I'm doing just yet...

Lorenus smiled to himself as he was carried along, his perch quite the useful way of getting around. He could obviously have slithered here and there, but being carried around was far more suitable for someone of his rank, and it was also just that much more enjoyable. He leaned his arms on top of the jackal's head, looking straight ahead and leaning on his hands.

"Ssssuch a well-behaved perch."

He stroked down the jackal's side with his tail, drawing only the slightest of shivers. Still a little bit more to teach, then, but not nearly as much as there had once been. The jackal was definitely better than he used to be.

Lorenus focused his attention on their destination, a single white tent among many more dark or green tents. It was the only one that he had ignored since setting out from the capital, but after today, he knew that he would be spending a great deal of time there.

He steered the jackal towards it, making sure that they avoided the worst of the orgies going on in the camp, and came to a stop right before the main entrance. He slithered down from his perch, patted the jackal on the ass, and slithered through the tent flap.

There, reclining before him, was the very boar that he had threatened to steal the heart of. He had to admit, the Kgosi had strange tastes. The boar had the proportions of a rather feminine young man, but had the face of someone quite masculine. His clothes were soft, silken, but his body was rough, the fur thick and manly.

It was quite the series of dichotomies, made worse as the boar sat up and talked to him.

"What are you doing here?" he asked, his voice deep and growly. "Where's the Kgosi? Where is my lover?"

"Ah, you wisssh hissss presssence? He will sssshow himsssself ssssoon."

The boar, according to some of his slaves in the army, had been begging to see the Kgosi ever since he had been brought back into the fold. Alone among the army, the boar did not know that the elephant emperor had been made into a prisoner, to be broken as a slave. For that matter, he was pretty sure that this boar didn't know half of what had happened since Lorenus had taken power, and he wanted to keep it that way.

Slithering over to the smaller male, he aided the boar in sitting up. The young man had been reclining quite deeply, and it was clear that most of his muscles were in his legs, built for bouncing on a cock. The boar clicked his hardened, trotter-like fingers together in annoyance.

"Tell me what's happened. I deserve to know."

"Are you sssso concerned for him?"

"He is my love! I must see to him."

"Asss he hasss ssseen to you?"

"Well, he...he's been at war!"

"And that makessss it alright?"

The snake smiled slightly, not in a horrible way, but in the understanding way that had worked in other times. There were always stresses in relationships between the commons and the heights, and he had expected this one to be no different. Surely, all it would take would be an understanding ear and voice?

But no. The boar turned away, crossing his arms, white silks spreading across brown fur.

"No! But he is my love, and I will tend to him regardless."

"You'll ssstay with him, even if there wasss a better option?"

"Hmmph. Like you?"

"Well, asss an example, yessss."

"Ha! You're half the man my Kgosi is. I serve only him."

"You've never been tempted?"

"Never!"

"Look me in the eyesss and tell me that, if you would."

The boar whipped around, and Lorenus looked deep.

"Hmmm...what do you know? He's not lying."

That was the biggest surprise, he had to admit. The boar had seemed to be capricious and spoiled, someone that could be tempted away with ease, but no. There was a real love for the Kgosi buried inside of the white smokes of his mind. The snake turned his head to the left, then to the right, seeing if there was anything worth pulling at, but there wasn't a lot to be found. He had expected there to be something, anything, that showed a temptation for another man in the courts, but...

_Ah, but there was something else. _

_Lorenus slithered through the white mists of the boar's mind, hearing a moaning sound in the background. It was not the disciplined mind of the Kgosi, so he did not fear the sounds of something moving around in the background. Rather, he found it a nice distraction, something to keep him occupied as he moved through the mind. _

_In the distance, he had seen a different chain, something that moved and shifted independent of the chains that bound the center of the boar's mind to the shining example of the Kgosi in the air. The elephant's image continued to move at the top of the mists, flexing and smiling and showing off a fat dick. Lorenus rolled his eyes, continuing forward, not wanting to spend his time staring at that if he didn't have to. _

_Obviously, the boar enjoyed the Kgosi, but this one was also tied to something else. What might it - _

_Ah, there it was. _

Lorenus smiled to himself as he spotted the second chain, so far off from the beaten track at the middle of the mind that he imagined that the boar himself didn't really know it was there. He had been honest, consciously; there was no real temptation that the boar had been fighting. But as for the unconscious temptations...

_It wasn't a temptation for a person, but rather, for a type. A type that was bigger than the boar, a type that was stronger, a type that had a dick that would not quit and would keep on fucking for as long as the boar liked. The little guy wanted a big, manly man, and it was that chain that would be the undoing of everything. _

_For there was more to want than just manliness, and more to want than just size. _

_Lorenus smiled, dragging at images from the boar's memory, pulling out little pictures, little ideas, images and fantasies coming together with ease. Soon, they were floating freely, and he guided them toward the chain. He added things, things that would increase the temptation for things that the elephant didn't actually have. Things like the ability to hypnotize, or the ability to hold and coil. _

_Things that were very easy for the naga. _

_He smiled as he watched the chain slowly start to multiply, connecting itself to the different bits and pieces that he had thrown toward it. It was all too easy when it came down to things like this. _

_And the boar would never, ever know that he had been thrown out of his relationship by someone else's touch. _

_The naga smiled to himself, only to lose it as he looked towards the heaven. The great Kgosi continued to shimmer and shine in the light, but it would fade, eventually. He just wished that it would fade faster. _

Shaking his head, he slowly drew himself back...

Lorenus smiled at the boar, who looked back at him with confusion. More than likely, they had been in a staring contest for some time, though he doubted that the boar realized just how long they had been staring at one another.

He slowly pushed himself to his coils, shaking his head.

"I can sssee that you have a great deal of worsssship for him."

"I love him."

"It'sss more than that, and you know it," the prince chuckled. "You don't want him to love you. You want him to let you worssssship him like a god."

The boar gasped, blushing hard.

"How did you...did you read..."

"I can sssee everything."

Including the effects of what he had already put in the boar's mind. He had implanted a desire to be ruled, and that desire was slowly spreading. The Kgosi had a better mind than his son, knowing that it was better to not push one's subjects too far, but he had skipped the one subject that wanted to be ruled like a subject before a god.

And now, he could give the boar something else that the Kgosi never would.

He smiled at the smaller male, looking him up and down.

"There isss much that the Kgosssi cannot do...and much that I can."

"You...I don't want that."

"Yessss, you do."

"..."

"I will leave you, now. Until later, little boar."

He turned, slithering back out of the tent. He half-expected to hear the boar call him back, to hear that the little guy wanted to ask him something else.

Instead, he left in silence. Ah, well. It was a little soon to expect the chains to be changing his behavior completely. He wasn't doing what his father or some of the others in his family did. He was changing things on a far more subtle level, making sure that it became something greater over time.

Though father...has a knack for this thing...

The naga gritted his teeth in annoyance. It wasn't what he wanted to think of right then, but just remembering what his father had done for the Adelin family, and done to the family, was enough to remind him that he was still playing catch-up. His father was a hypnotic genius, and the sort of man that would be very difficult to bind properly. Yet, if he wanted to secure his return to the Snakelands, then he would eventually have to fight him, to push him down and bind him properly.

And his father didn't have the White-Out technique that he had developed. If he could beat his father down, chain him, then there would be no escape.

He just had to do it, and against a mind that powerful...

I am getting stronger, he told himself. I'm chaining people in a different way. I'm challenging myself. I will be able to fight him when the time comes.

That was what he kept telling himself. He just hoped that he wasn't lying. If he lost again, he wouldn't have a third chance; banishment would be off the table, and a greater punishment would be on it.

Returning to his perch, he slithered up to lay across his shoulders once more. The jackal leaned one way, then the other before standing up straight, and the naga sighed.

"Back to the tent, perch. We will decide what to do when we arrive."

Nodding, his jackal slave carried him back. In moments like this, he missed the Old Hump, his camel advisor. He missed his other slaves, and he had too many things to get done. He just wanted things to be simple again, but of all the things that he wished for, he knew that one was the furthest off.

It didn't have to be. He could have stopped with what he had gained in the Sizwe Empire. He could have been content with being a co-emperor and waited for the Kgosi to come back before making him back off. Hell, he could have been happy with a simple estate out on the corner of the Empire. He could have lived there, enjoyed himself, occasionally contributed to the expansion of the larger state. Nobody would have bothered him.

But it would have meant giving up, and there was no way that Lorenus Adelin was going to give up on his ambitions.

That meant that, for now, he had to keep working hard. He had corrupted most of the army into something that was both professional and debauched, had started the Kgosi's lover down the road into being a good little slut, and he had the Kgosi himself primed for breaking when the time was right.

He just had to last through that, and then he could rest. After all, when the Empire was stable, he would need to take time to build up for the invasion of the Snakelands. That would give him time to rest, time to enjoy himself, time to...

Well, if he was smart, he would plan. He hoped he would be smart.

They reached his tent, and he slithered down from his perch. He considered coiling him up, but quite honestly, he was tired of putting in the effort. He wanted to be taken care of, and that was something that the slave could do.

"Ssssuck me," he ordered.

As he laid back against a warmed stone, the jackal did just that. Lorenus closed his eyes, allowing himself to just indulge in the sucking feeling, and slowly closed his eyes as he was given a blowjob to take him to his rest.

The End
