Chapter 227 Mikaya's Past

Nafia's words made Alexander quite curious.

He knew next to nothing about Mikaya and so was curious to know why Pasha Farzah would want to punish the pearl of his heart.

The aged, silver-bearded man seemed like a sentimental person who doted on his kin and so Alexander guessed that Mikaya had to have pissed off her father royally for him to do this.

As Alexander was considering this, Mikaya's impatient voice called out, "Nafia, what are you doing back there?" as she found her maid's absence irksome.

To this Nafia loudly ordered her younger sister, "Tajia, entertain the mistress properly, girl."

Then turning her scowling face to Alexander, the frowning face immediately dissolved to form a differential one as she elaborated on why Mikaya was being punished.

Nafia began with a bit of history lesson, "Pasha Alexander, as you probably know, mistress being master's last child was always doted on by him. And that doting turned to especially spoiling her when eldest mistress, Azira and Azura's mother..died."

"Master was heartbroken over not just the eldest mistress's death but also by how she was killed. And so to soothe his aching heart, he indulged mistress too much." Nafia had a tingle of sadness in her voice as she said this.

"And for the most part, mistress lived up to master's expectation. She is extremely smart, cunning, and has a good business sense. Not to mention her fame as one of Adhania's best painters." Nafia had a proud tone as she listed her mistress's noble qualities.

Then immediately her voice went a bit downcast, "But all this changed after master introduced her to Lady Inayah as her Bliss trainer, eight years ago. And thus mistress, who didn't know anything about sex suddenly got a taste of the pleasures of the flesh and she immediately fell in love with it. She became completely obsessed with it."

Nafia then quickly added, "Of course, I'm not blaming Lady Inayah. I don't dare to. Her family is renowned throughout Adhania and no one else has become like the mistress."

She then returned to the topic, "Anyway, after completing her course with Lady Inayah, my mistress seemed almost like a different person. It made me think as if somehow the previous beautiful, innocent angel Mikaya had been somehow body switched with a devilish, lewd succubus." Nafia reminisced with fear and disapproval.

"Then," Nafia described, "My mistress, who was already considered the most beautiful maiden in Matrak, started to use her charms and skills she had learned to bed different men."

"At first, it was nothing serious, just a little making out here, a quickie there, and an innocent little tussle under the sheets. Nothing uncommon within the circles of nobility." Nafia lightly brushed off the acts.

Her voice then suddenly turned a bit high-pitched, "But, slowly and slowly mistress began to push the boundaries. She slowly moved from her usual men of choice- second and third sons of low-level nobles like shordars (barons), who had little social standing and opportunities in life, to men of higher and higher standings, sons of very rich merchants, men next in line successors to various houses and even to some actual incumbent nobles!" Nafia had a hint of fear in her voice as she said so.

"And not only that, but she also started experimenting with not just having one partner at a time, but multiples. And this degradation continued for multiple years, gradually turning the small, innocent act into a regular massive orgy gathering." Nafia revealed.

She then with a slightly bitter tone continued, "What was worse she had managed to form a little group of fellow-minded young and even married ladies, who would then attend secret balls hosted by successor nobles or even by the nobles themselves, where she and her friends would be passed around like cheap whores, penetrated in all three holes by men they barely knew and showered with liters of cum." Nafia said with a small scowl on her face.

"And although at first, it was all hush and hush, in recent years, this particular activity has picked in frequency a lot. In fact, it has increased so much that it even drew the attention of the pasha, who until then had been largely unaware of his daughter's nighttime activities, thinking them to be just his little princess making a bit of harmless fun." Nafia had a regretful tone as she said this, lamenting the fact that if Pasha Farzah had detected this sooner, maybe things would not have gone so far.

'Hmmm, even the most shrewd man will have his blindspots,' Alexander felt he could not really fault pasha Fazah for this oversight, as he likely never even imagined such a thing could ever happen.

And because Pasha Farzah never thought of that possibility, he naturally paid little attention to it, letting the danger fester and grow.

Nafia further continued, "Master first came to know about this when he was looking for a suitable groom for my mistress and one of the suitors accidentally let slip that he had already slept with his potential to-be bride, along with several other men in a giant orgy." Nafia produced a rueful smile after she said this, while Alexander could barely hold off his urge to laugh out loud.

'Hahaha, good, good. What goes around, comes around.' Alexander felt his heart vent after hearing that Mikaya had gotten her just comeuppance, while also wiping a cold sweat from his eyebrow thinking, 'Fuck! And to think that once I considered taking her as my bride!' as he reminisced about the offer Pasha Farzah had made.

And it was only now that he understood just what kind of pitfall the shrewd man had laid for him then and appreciated just how lucky he was to avoid it by chance, 'Maybe I'm really blessed by the gods.' he thanked the heavens.

Nafia ignored Alexander's gleeful and relieved expression and continued in a flat, robotic voice, "Master was of course furious when he learned what was going on. In fact, master was furious after knowing just the abridged, toned down, cut out version, something that the mistress came up with the help of all other nobles that were trying to save each other's hide."

'Hmmm, I doubt any ramshackle story those nobles could have come up with would have held up to that brilliant man's scrutiny. Maybe it did because Farzah wanted it to.' Alexander came up with his own guess.

And afterward, he quickly returned his attention to Nafia, who said, "And that was when the rebellion happened. And then, by many twists of fate, master was made the honorable prime minister. And it was then master feared the kind of excesses mistress might get up to even if he could not be around to curb her activities. And the great pasha is aware of everything else succeeding that."

Nafia, at last, finished her very long recount, looking apologetically at Alexander with her, large, brown eyes.

"So, what does that have to do anything with me?" Alexander found the story intriguing but utterly irreverent to him and unmoved by the naked lady's pleading gaze.

"Ahem" Nafia gave a small, awkward cough and then, feeling confident that she had built enough groundwork for the thing she was about to say, picked up the courage and said, "Great pasha, as I said, my mistress is addicted to sex. And suddenly being deprived of it has made her irritable and grumpy. And this, coupled with the great plans she had as a result of her father no longer being in Matrak to restrict her ruined, my lady is particularly hostile to you, blaming you for all her frustrations."

"So…" Nafia's said the last word with a long drawn-out breath while moving her eyes skittishly.

"So, you want me to fuck her!" Alexander was unimpressed.

"Yes," Nafia turned a tinge red as she made the suggestion, making her look dazzling under the gentle winter sunlight.

'Farzah's family sure has some good genes.' Alexander couldn't help but comment inside.

But then his thoughts returned to what Nafia had suggested, which produced an almost spontaneous disgust and a resounding answer in his heart, 'No!'

Returning to the real world, suddenly a small glint caught Alexander's eyes, which caused him to smirk, "And what about you? Do you want to get some too?"

He said this because he noticed a thin, stream of lewd water running down the meaty things of the girl, clearly showing just how excited the girl had become recounting her mistress's story.

Nafia became flushed as Alexander pointed this out, she being not as quite shameless as her mistress as she muttered an excuse while avoiding direct eye contact, "That…we have been mistress's childhood …so…umm..it's just."

The reasoning was simple, as Mikaya's friend and maid, she too had been roped into their mistress's misadventures and when Nafia had recounted the story, naturally the memories of those parties she had mentioned Mikaya and thus by extension her attending those had floated to her mind.

'Birds of a feather flock together,' Alexander only coldly looked at the slut pretending to be a saint.

He wanted no part of this filthy group.
