There's Something Wrong With You, My Lord!

Chapter 203: The First Step Of Media (2)

"So, the Moon Elves are having that kind of reaction to the articles that I posted on the Bulletin Board, huh?" The Moon Elf Lord stated while firmly holding his Downward Dog Pose. The sun is high in the sky, giving him a mild and warm feeling as its rays penetrate the thin fabric of his white shirt and pants. Fine beads of sweat started to form on his forehead the longer he maintained that pose under the gentle sunlight. Under him was a thick cloth that served as his yoga mat.

’Hot damn, I can feel it burning. My fat and stress! This is what I am talking about!’ Luis said internally. His inhales and exhales follow a consistent rhythm despite the fact that he is speaking every now and then to his new yoga mate, Olyn.

"Yes, My Lord. A-actually, they are trying to think of why they found every first line of y-your articles thought-provoking." Olyn answered Luis. He couldn’t stop his voice from cracking or stuttering because of the painful feeling of his calves stretched for the first time. The poor bearer only resorted to biting his lower lip in order to contain his pained cry.

To be completely honest, this kind of sting is a little weird because although it is uncomfortable, it gives this inexplicable tingling sensation that Olyn felt as refreshing. That is why, although it looks compromising in many ways, Olyn executes it without any qualms. Besides, his lord said that it will improve his flexibility,

"Hoo! Okay, next pose is Upward Dog Pose," Luis instructed while slowly demonstrating how to transition to the other pose smoothly. "Why are they debunking headlines? It’s not like it’s a sacred scripture or something."

The Moon Elf Lord has a thoughtful look, pointing that out. His subordinates may be interested because the usage of headlines felt very novel to them, and on top of that, reading is not a very mainstream thing for the Moon Elves here. Although, most of them have learned how to read and write the Old Moon Elven Alphabet.

’In fairness to the Moon Elves, literacy is a part of their rite, all thanks to their allegiance to the temple. The moon elves have this tradition of visiting the temple once they reach certain ages to read and memorize some important sacred scriptures to commemorate the deeds of the Moon Goddess and commemorate the life of the said goddess according to the written legends kept by the temple.

Luis took advantage of that to introduce written media to his subjects. On the safe side, he consulted Nicol if any religious rules were violated once he did that, and thankfully, there were none. Nicol is exceptionally supportive as it would serve as a refresher to the moon elves since there are times when someone doing the rite forgets how to read words.

That Bulletin Board is just a cheap introduction to media. His main goal was to popularize newspapers and other media that would build a vast and reliable network of information for thousands of his constituents. That way, he doesn’t need to appear before them whenever he makes changes or announcements physically. However, he was hit once again with difficulty turning that into reality since paper is not a thing in this part of the continent. Their priority is not papermaking but to establish a stable settlement. Although regrettable, Luis could only drop that idea for now.

’What is important now is that they reacted positively to that Bulletin Board’s function and the talks about Nicol’s personal life were buried,’ Luis said to himself. This is one of the reason why he made the contents of the bulletin board intriguing. To put a stop on the nonsensical talks about their head priest. Nicol is a highly capable and thoughtful subordinate there is no way he will let the man perish due to public opinion.

He did not do any thing wrong in the first place. He just make use of the curiosity of his subjects.

Now that he thought of it, the curiosity showed by the moon elves is a good thing.

Just like what his number one servant is showing now.

Therefore, Luis explained to Olyn, "Those words that appear at the top of the article have always been written to intrigue the readers so that they would read on. In order words, it is just there to grab the attention of anyone who would stumble upon the writings."

"My Lord, You are amazing to think of such a method."

"That is not a method that I made," Luis answered with a smile on his face. He can’t carelessly say it is from his previous world, right? "I just borrowed that somewhere and practiced to apply it to my words effectively."

Although experiencing some difficulty, Olyn tried to look at his lord in his right because it might just be his imagination, but it felt like the Moon Elf Lord said that with a tinge of sadness. But what he saw was far from what people wear on their faces whenever they are sad- a smile.

The Moon Elf Lord’s words contain profound truth in this one. No bullshit. Luis Lee studied Journalism before the apocalypse happened. It can be said that it was his passion. However, just like anyone else in the world, this passion didn’t flourish. Reality and bills and other responsibilities buried it.

’Luis, you bitch. Why are you getting too sentimental now?’ The Moon Elf Lord chastised himself inwardly. It is a mystery for Luis why he is all sensitive these past few days. It’s not like he is depressive or having episodes of explosive anger, but instead, he tends to get easily influenced by his emotions. He would be a gloomy mess when he thinks of something sad. Luis also noticed that he would be easily irritated whenever he saw something he didn’t like, which he would just shrug his shoulder over on regular days.

’Jeez, it seems like I need some good sex,’ Luis thought. It felt like it was ages since he had intimate time with his beloved tanned hottie. ’Maybe messing my emotions is my body’s way of expressing that he needed a hot quick fix.

Hihihi. That must be it.

Luis turned his head and saw that his number one servant was watching his expressions keenly.

"What is it?" The Moon Elf Lord asked Olyn.

Luis’ innocent little servant flinched on the unexpected question.

"Ah, Nothing, My Lord."

The Moon Elf Lord gave him a piercing gaze and shrugged his shoulders when he was about to be pressured, "Oh, Okay then."

Olyn felt like the Moon Elf Lord was teasing him and blushed hard. "My Lord!"

"What? I am not saying anything!" Luis said. Olyn is really cute whenever he looks like a deer caught in headlights. It was such a pleasure to tease him into confessing and then dropping the pressure once he was about to cry and croak.

’So cute!’ Luis exclaimed inwardly. If he ever had a child, he wanted to be someone innocent like Olyn. Luis bets that taking care of a kid like that is not boring.

"Okay, let’s cool down now. After this, we had some work that we needed to do." Luis said to Olyn. They both focused on breathing to calm down their mind and tensed muscles after a long yoga workout.

Inwardly, Olyn really enjoyed this training that his Lord subjected him to, and he is already looking forward to the next session since he will get to spend time alone with his master.

The two parted with a light feeling.

Luis made his way back to their home to change his sweat-drenched clothes. Meanwhile, Olyn went to help in the construction since it was the last time they would use building houses as their excuse for their excessive hours of training.

"Ah! I feel light! This is what I really need!" Luis playfully stretched his arms and made circles in the air. He entered his and Xagrien’s room in that manner, and he almost flew outside when he saw Xagrien getting dressed.

"Oh, you are here!" Luis blurted out.

"En," Xagrien answered, averting his gaze.

’What is wrong with this man?’ Luis thought with his forehead slightly creased.

Like a ninja, the Moon Elf Lord silently scanned the state of his mate.

’Flushed and sweaty,’ Luis nodded inwardly and turned to look at the ruffled side of the bed. In normal times, it is smart enough to assume that Xagrien has just woken up from sleep. But that is obviously not the case since the side of the bed that has creases was his and not of his sneaky mate. It’s become his habit to fix his bedding every time he steps out of bed. He brought that habit here from Earth since he has lived independently for years.

’So, what did you do, Xagrien?’ Luis gave his all to stop himself from grinning. It turns out that he is not the only one with pent-up desires, huh?

"Oh, It seems like I forgot to make my side of the bed. Sorry about that," The Moon Elf Lord apologetically said while maintaining that one-hundred percent eye contact with his loveable brute.

"It’s fine. I can fix it for you," the man hurriedly flattened the creases on Luis’s bed.

’My goodness, Xagrien,’ Luis internally shook his head. He doesn’t understand why some men find it shameful to admit they do individual "works" behind their partner’s back. Shouldn’t couples be open to really personal things like that?

But he must admit, catching Xagrien flustered like this was enjoyable.

Luis walked over to his lover to help him fix the blankets. However, he didn’t expect to see a shred of incriminating evidence that would pin Xagrien’s deed, "Daddy, what is this thing?"
