Overlord: Blue Citadel Alternate 4 『His Orders』

Hours had gone by and Jack had just sat there, shifting his position on the arm of the throne several times, before glancing over towards the Witch whom was firmly seated in the chair.

After glancing at him from the corner of her eye, she parted her lips seeing the gaze she was giving her."Eh? I'm hella not gettin' up!" She pouted in a snap, pressing her lips together as she glared back at him.

The two of them just stared, Jack not showing all that much agitation or response to her declaration. However he didn't take his eyes off of hers.

A 'ji' sound resonated from his throat, the intensity of the stoic stare was increasing indefinitely.

"Mmmm..." She groaned as she started shrinking away to the side, sweat drops forming on her forehead. "N-never giving this seat back!"

The moment she said this, Jack literally just plopped right off of the arm and onto her left leg. "Then you shall become the seat," he'd utter shamelessly as he crossed one leg over another once more with his smug menacing expression.

"Tsk, Shameless..." The Witch laughed and shook her head as she hugged one arm around him.

Jack shrugged at the accusation swishing himself around in place as he made himself comfortable.

"...Ah..." She felt like he was crushing her legs, as he was so much more dense than a normal person. "Oniisama… Get off my leg please!"

"That didn't take you long," Jack leaned his back into her, turning his head to rest a rather sadistically teasing gaze upon her. "Should've gotten up."

Half of the Guardians who had been sitting there, talking amongst themselves cheerfully, were chuckling lightly at the sight of Jack sitting on his 'sister.'

"Anna vi Amethyst, do you surrender the throne?" He nudged her in the side with his elbow, but she immediately shook her head in a rapid fashion.

"Nu-uh! Mine. You gave me this station, you cannot take it back!"

"Is that how it is..?" Jack glared at her for a few seconds before shifting the rest of his lower body onto both her legs, taking over her lap in a disastrous coup.

What made him feel a bit awkward as he was doing this however, was the fact that she wrapped her arms around his waist, trapping him.

"Haha! I have captured the Jack-onissama!"

"..." Jack just gazed over at the other Guardians who were watching with both confused and partially suppressed amused expressions. "Am I really captured?" Resting his feet flat on the ground at the foot of the throne, he immediately stood up.

The short witch would find herself hanging from his torso by a few inches from the ground. "Eh?!"

"In order to capture your prey, what is the first thing you must know?" Jack didn't look at her as he asked this question, his eyes were narrowed on the massive sliding door of the chamber.

Blinking when asked this question, the sister looked up at him. A thoughtful hum would then emit from her throat as she released her hold on him. Dropping to her feet as she put a finger close to her lower lip. Her gaze moving to the ceiling as she thought. "Uuuh… You must know your prey. Hehe~" She gave a thumbs up only for her to turn around in a swift spherical motion.

"No, you must know yourself, then your prey."

"Pft wha…? But I do know myself." Planting her hands on her hips, she shifted her weight to one side, giving him the stink eye.

"Then why'd you fail?" Jack was bored, it was definitely clear to just about anyone, which was why he was now teasing this one adorable NPC before him.

"Obviously because you're physically stronger, Oniisama."

"No, it's because you weigh so little," Jack placed his hand on the top of her head as she giggled a bit from the touch. He would mess with her hair, until his fingers got knotted in the silver locks. Slowly, he pulled his fingers out of her hair before glancing over his shoulder.

A young man wearing a blue and gold Victorian styled Military Uniform with an armor helmet under his shoulder, came walking into the Throne Chamber. He had a Van Dyke beard and a muddled brown dapper styled hairdo and stern coal blue eyes.

"Mires Reporting for duty!" The heels of his leather boots clacked together as he stood before the throne, bowing and dropping to one knee in one swift move of his own.

"Mires, what is the status of the city and our surroundings?" What he was to report, would dictate Jack's next orders for the Guardians. If they were surrounded by hostiles, the first action was to eliminate enemies present. If there was no one, nothing outside, it was best to take control of the production plant if it could be made operational.

"The Honor Guard has scoured the surroundings of the Castle, and entered into the City to find that there are no hostiles present. The City is ours, there are no other residence." Mires raised his head to look up at Jack, a bright blue glow emanating from his eyes.

The corners of Jack's lips curled into a faint smile, he couldn't help but let out a satisfied sigh. "Good, good… I want twenty of the Honor Guards to secure the Automaton Assembly Plant and investigate it." His eyes drifted over towards Daniki, the giant preying mantis. "They will be under your command."

Clicking and clacking in response as it bowed its head, the monstrous insectoid would turn and head towards the door.

Mires would nod his head before raising to his feet and putting his helmet over his head. "As to be expected of our Great One, Jack-sama! I will select the best and join Lord Daniki on the Ground!"

Jack watched as the soldier marched on out with the giant bug before resting his eyes on the remaining members in the room. Then glancing back towards the Witch, "Your job is to Guard the Long Table."

"A new station? Alright, I'll make do." She grinned cockily up at him, "As you command Oniisama!" Quickly the little witch would dart out of the room, vanishing around a corner.

His eyes then rested on the Berry Twins, "I want you two to use divination magic to check if there is still and exit to the surface. The last thing we need is to be trapped down here." Though they weren't necessarily trapped, it would be nice to be able to come and go without having to teleport into the City itself.

"Yes, your greatness!" Teetle giggled manically as they bowed at the command.

Shaking their head, Doodle would snigger as he lightly bowed his head. "I will do my best, for the both of us!" He announced before glancing away, if he had facial expressions, one could only expect a gleeful look. "You can expect us back very soon, Jack-sama."

Jack nodded at this, acknowledging their aspirations to please. "As you will." His eyes then shifted towards Gemini, "Make sure to secure the Treasury. If the world outside the city has changed… We're likely going to need those items to survive."

"Fufu~ Yes, My Lord Darling!" With a respectful pitch of her body, she would take a few steps back as she stood up and made her way out of the room. One hand on the hilts of her short swords.

Jack then moved his eyes towards the cyclopes who was patiently waiting on one knee. His one eye steadily staring through the leader of the guild with a shallow smile set to please.

"Begin experimentation, appraise our current resources to be sure nothing has changed. Toma."

"Yes! Yes! So wise, it shall be done!" The Cyclopes was proud to be given an order. Whilst it wasn't the brightest tool or the sharpest tool in the shed, it was to find itself in bliss when found useful.

The ground shook as the being got up on both feet and began to jump and skip towards its destination out of the room. Thanks to it being an effect programmed into the being, the shaking effectively stopped the moment he left the room.

"I really should've deleted that function when I had the chance," Jack muttered to himself as he remained standing there unaffected, but all the chandeliers overhead were swaying.

The pale twins with a dozen heterochromia wings, Elaine and Delane, would hover closer to the throne which would draw his attention rather quickly. His eyes rested on their little adorable faces, and their tiny reddish noses.

"I see you two want a task…?" Jack asked teasingly as he narrowed his eyes on the Angels.

Both of them nodded frantically, excitedly showing their pearly whites, it was as if every time they nodded little bells would sound.

"I see… How about Guarding the First Floor while Teetle and Doodle are off doing their Divinations?" Jack asked as he tilted his head to the side slightly with a brow raised.

Without even a single actual word, the two of them rushed out of the room like aeroplanes, without any further reservations and made their way down to the first floor.

Now all that was left was Silva, Genji, Teller and Lannec without known objectives given to them.

Jack narrowed his eyes on Lannec however as he could see the man fidgeting with an empty bottle which he had taken out of his item box over an hour ago. "Why don't you scour the City to find some alcohol and other useful resources?"

His eyes then moved towards Teller, "You go along with him. Make sure nothing happens to him." His voice sounded sincere despite the fact that there was none needed, which made the wolf give him a skeptical chuckle.

"I see you, Jack-sama." A wide toothy smile was seen on the Wolf's face, "Letting me get drunk without a care! Ahaha!"

"You go be a pirate," Jack spoke in a sarcastic tone as he watched the wolf man prance on out of the room in a happy-go-lucky manner. If he didn't know that man's personality subroutines, Jack would definitely get annoyed with his antics.

His gaze then traveled over towards Genji, "You may return to your floor and guard as you see fit."

"As you see fit, Jack-sama." The half-golem would stand as he proceeded to make his orderly exit from the room, ducking his head in the process of dodging the swaying chandelier on his way out.

The Dragon on the chandelier however, remained, watching from its 'nest' as it was making itself comfortable. Whilst it was a companion of one of the Guardians, it did have a mind of its own and could be considered… rather lazy at best when not involved combat.

Jack hardly registered its existence as he turned his gaze to Silva, it was just them now. "Once the exits to the surface is investigated by the Overlords, we'll explore the City on our own."

Silva nodded her head at this, "As you command."

Jack turned away from her for a moment as he went to sit down on the throne. However the moment he did, he blinked at the sound of ruffling fabrics and a skirt hitting the ground. Glancing over, his eyes narrowed on the grey skinned red eyed beauty who was undressing out in plain view.

He blinked several times, trying not to let heat come to his face as he watched, leaning away from her general direction. "Uh..."

She had curves in all the right places, giving her a mature outlook, but she had hardly any cleavage. Not that Jack minded, he didn't really enjoy the idea of gigsized breasts.

Silva wasn't paying much attention as she slipped into a pair of dark blue pants with golden trim, a frilled dress shirt and a cropped military stable jacket with large golden buttons and black straps.

In the end she was wearing a Victorians Military Officer uniform decorated with a golden-white sash wrapped diagonally around her torso, from shoulder to hip. On her head was a matching kepi cap with a black leather strap around its navy blue base.
