"You wanted to see me, Father?" asked Adelaide, as she strode into Friedrich's office.
Her cold expression gave way to a flash of surprise, on seeing the other occupants of the office, before she carefully schooled her features back to neutrality.
"Yes, I thought it prudent to introduce you to our main Tokyo business partner, Hajime Yamamoto and his daughter Tomoe." said Friedrich with a sly grin.
"You knew all along, didn't you?" asked Adelaide coldly her eyes boring into Friedrich's
"I suspected, and my suspicions were confirmed when I contacted Hajime, and he told me that he was in Berlin" said Friedrich, unfazed by Adelaide's cold stare.
Adelaide trained her piercing gaze on Tomoe, who looked back fearfully at her.
She had ditched the casual cream-colored jacket and long tan skirt she had worn earlier for a sharply cut black skirt-suit with black pantyhose and shiny black leather stiletto heeled pumps.
Her long, straight black hair was pulled back into a tight, high ponytail, and her beautiful Japanese features and pale, flawless skin was enhanced by minimal makeup.
"So that's why you made contact with me Tomoe? I don't appreciate being deceived," said Adelaide, her voice soft and menacing.
"I-I am as surprised as you are Adelaide! Please! I had no idea who you were! My father only let me in on our business tonight!" quavered Tomoe in Japanese, bowing profusely.
"When in Germany, speak German Tomoe," chided Hajime, watching the exchange with a hint of amusement.
"Yes! Sorry Papa," said Tomoe switching back to German.
"All right, I believe you Tomoe," said Adelaide, relenting and giving Tomoe a smile, as Tomoe sighed in relief.
"Adelaide looks both terrifying and sexy when she's angry," thought Tomoe to, willing her pounding heart to slow down, and ignoring the slight tingle in her crotch and belly.
"Now that you have amused yourself at our expense, what did you want to discuss, Father?" asked Adelaide turning her attention back to Friedrich.
"Yamamoto Corp has just won a contract with the Japanese government to build a new aircraft carrier.
However, Albrecht Nuclear Systems' involvement has been blocked by a busybody who insists on a conventionally powered carrier instead of a nuclear-powered one.
His name is Kenji Mitsuharu, the leader of Japan's green faction.
Since he's part of your generation and has a significant clout in both social media and political circles.
We thought getting him to change his mind would be the perfect assignment for the two of you," explained Friedrich handing Adelaide a folder, containing Kenji's main information.
Tomoe looked at Kenji's picture with disgust. "I can't believe this piece of vermin has the audacity to call himself Japanese! Endorsing Article 9 when it has held us back and forced us into humiliating servility to the US? What an idiot!" she scoffed.
"He seems to have support mostly from fringe elements and academia. How is he capable of blocking us?" asked Adelaide.
"Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and Fukushima. Japan has a love-hate relationship with nuclear energy. We love its potential, hate what it can do in the wrong hands. Kenji is able to stir up fear of nuclear energy in the neutral factions of the government," said Hajime.
"Hmm, I'd say we could distract him with something while Father and Hajime-sama work the neutral political factions," suggested Adelaide.
Tomoe's eyes lit up excitedly. "I know just the thing! I'll pretend that I am against the deal and ask him to come to Germany to persuade you to ask Friedrich-sama to refuse the deal. Once we get him here, we can keep him busy until the contracts are signed!" she said.
"Sounds good. How do you intend to keep him busy?" asked Friedrich.
"I'm sure we could give him a tour of the University of Berlin, have him meet his 'esteemed colleagues' on this side of the world, and spread awareness of the evils of nuclear energy. And if that doesn't work, we could always just throw him in the dungeon," said Adelaide.
"You have a dungeon?" asked Tomoe excitedly.
"Oh yes, my dear Tomoe, and a fully functional torture chamber," teased Adelaide, enjoying the cute blushing and squirming Tomoe exhibited at the mention of it.
"All right, I like the plan. The two of you can adjourn to discuss the finer details now, while Hajime and I figure out the strategy to deal with the other factions," said Friedrich, dismissing the girls.
"Adelaide! Please show me the dungeons and torture chamber!" said Tomoe leaping excitedly to her feet.
"All right, all right. Come along," chuckled Adelaide, leading Tomoe out of the office.
----
"Wow! This is so cool!" gushed Tomoe, looking around the torture chamber in awe.
"It's my favorite room in the castle," admitted Adelaide, happy that Tomoe was so enthusiastic.
"What's all this stuff?" asked Tomoe, pointing to the broken candles that littered the center of the room.
"That was me practicing whipping before I was summoned to the office," said Adelaide, making a mental note to reprimand the maid for failing to clean up the mess.
"Really? Can I see?" asked Tomoe excitedly.
"All right. But you need to stay close behind me and out of the way," said Adelaide, setting up a fresh candle and unhooking the bullwhip from the wall.
Tomoe nervously stood close behind the taller girl. The musky scent of Adelaide's leather blazer invaded her nostrils, and made her squirm.
Adelaide raised her whip and cracked it towards the center of the chamber, slicing the candle in half.
"Amazing!" gasped Tomoe, marvelling at the destroyed candle.
"I'm glad I was able to entertain you. Whipping has become my favorite activity," said Adelaide.
Tomoe closed her eyes, took a deep shuddering breath and opened them again.
Her heart fluttered as she looked up at Adelaide, who was now standing very close to her, the leather of her blazer and gloves creaking softly as she moved.
"Adelaide, I have to say, you are the most amazing person I've ever met!" said Tomoe, her voice barely above a whisper.
Adelaide looked down at Tomoe, her piercing aquamarine blue eyes locking onto Tomoe's midnight black ones.
Tomoe yelped in surprise as Adelaide's leather-gloved hand cupped her chin, and she was pulled into a deep kiss.
Adelaide bit down hard on Tomoe's lower lip, savoring the salty taste of her, as Tomoe's hands gripped Adelaide's blazer tightly, her heart racing.
Adelaide pulled back, her lips curling into a cruel smile as she looked down at Tomoe, who was blushing furiously and panting.
"You're quite the little minx, aren't you?" she purred, before swinging her whip, which coiled around Tomoe's waist and pulled her close again.
Tomoe gasped as she was pulled into another deep kiss, her heart pounding in her chest.
Adelaide's leather-gloved hand snaked up under Tomoe's skirt, caressing her thigh through the thin fabric of her pantyhose.
Tomoe moaned softly, her body responding to Adelaide's touch, as she felt a rush of heat flood her cheeks.
Her hands slid under Adelaide's leather skirt, finding the moist crotch of her pantyhose, and she began to rub it gently, eliciting a soft moan from Adelaide.
They trailed kisses and over each other's face and neck, as their hands rubbed their respective crotches through their clothing.
Adelaide used her superior height and strength to pin Tomoe against the wall, Tomoe climaxed first, her body bucking against Adelaide's hand as she cried out in pleasure.
Adelaide climaxed within seconds of her, her leather-clad body shuddering as she bit down on Tomoe's neck, leaving a mark.
Tomoe slumped against the wall, panting heavily, her cheeks flushed and her eyes glazed over with pleasure.
Adelaide stepped back, admiring the sight of Tomoe's disheveled appearance, her skirt askew, and her pantyhose torn.
"That was fun.," said Adelaide, her voice low and sultry.
"Yes, it was," panted Tomoe, her heart still racing.
"All right, let's get cleaned up and get to my room. We have a lot to discuss," said Adelaide, taking Tomoe's hand and leading her out of the torture chamber.
