Farid had felt close to Lilithia, she as crude and as violent as himself, and someone whom he did not have to conceal his true self for. "
Well, I do have to say, you are the only person so far I have come to enjoy within Reim, just sit back and relax." Farid knew even as tough as he was, he would need someone close beside him. Lilithia was reliable in her strength and her personality, so a person such as her would be a great partner for him in the future.
"I will tell you everything. Remember when I said I was a monkey? My father was a shrewd man, he wanted to create a stock of fanalis and Imuchakk slaves. So he purchased some exotic women and proceeded to rape them until he had gotten more slaves to sell. I was one of the first. He had hired tutors to train the slaves so we would be even more valuable. However, I realized and did my best to become more than a slave through my training, and my father gave me but a single chance to become his rightful heir.... By selling my half-brother and half-sisters. I did it without remorse. I worked and worked so I could be more than a slave, and my tutors took pity on me. They were my surrogate parents."
Farid paused for a moment, it was a while since he had recalled his childhood, the portion of his motivation. Then looking at Lilithia to gauge her reaction.
"Don't get me wrong, I love my father. To most people, he may have been a horrible man, but it has shaped me into what I am today. Anyways, he was the right hand of the old king when it came to commerce, and since the old king was removed, my father was forced into hiding. With that, Balbaad, once the trading capital of the world has begun to stagnate and decline. I want to return and establish myself in the absence of my father. I will form a trading company and create a bridge between all nations. After I have established myself, I will establish a monopoly on exports from Balbaad, then return Balbaad back to a monarchy by removing the bitch Mirah Al-Jabiri from office from the inside-out."
Farid had completely forgotten about his companion for a moment during his evil mastermind monologue. Then turning to Lilithia, now her face within inches of her own. He leaned further as to whisper directly into her ear.
"I know your true value. I need you as my partner in this venture. Freeing and killing this man. Money. Power. Sex. I will give you what I can if you will be my first mate." His tongue was strange close to her as he licked her.
"If you don't, I might have to force you or kill you." He spoke his last line quite jokingly, but it was a hollow humor.
