Chapter 38: Infernal Ylisse, Part 16
"Location: Infernal Valm, May 8th 2154"
It had now been three days since Infernal Lissa let I'm Reader-anon Universe Alden stay in the hut and work for her family. He managed to finish converting the armor into clothing while Infernal Lissa was out on the first day, and he placed the clothing inside a small box before waking the children and grandchildren up. During the time he spent at the hut, Infernal Lissa had him stay strictly busy doing things around the hut. There was little time for I'm Reader-anon Universe Alden to relax, but in the moments that he didn't have to do any work, one of the children or grandchildren would talk to him and try to get him to spend time with them. Bona really liked having him tell stories to her, and the stories he told about his own world became her favorite. The triplets were especially energetic, and would give him a hassle in doing things, especially if Infernal Lissa wasn't there. And Infernal Ophelia really needed help in doing anything, so the boy had to devote much of his time not working into helping her function.
The churning in Infernal Lissa's stomach was becoming unbearable. She had tolerated I'm Reader-anon Universe Alden being alone with her children for the past three days, but she just felt incredibly anxious that day. She knew he wouldn't hurt them, but a part of her told her that something bad was about to happen anyway. She scrubbed away at the tavern's counter, soaking up the suds from the aged wood and threatening to scrape off sharp splinters. Her face conveyed her worry, as the tavern's owner began to take notice.
"Careful there, Lissa. Rub any harder, and I don't think we'll have a counter tomorrow" the owner said.
Infernal Lissa's face flushed a bright red in embarrassment, and she softened her grip on the damp soapy rag.
"I'm sorry, sir. I'm just afraid for my kids and grandbabies." Infernal Lissa said.
The tavern owner laughed and slapped his large hand onto her back. He made sure to be as careful as possible, due to her baby bump, but she was still startled into a jump.
"I wouldn't worry about them if I were you. They can handle themselves just fine. You're too overprotective of them. You need to give them space." the tavern owner said.
Infernal Lissa's frown eased just a bit, but his words offered no consolation. There were too many hypotheticals for her liking. What if Infernal Owain, Clara, Bona, Infernal Ophelia, and the triplets wandered from the hut and got lost? What if they were stolen by some slaver? What if they were injured? What if... what if Quen'lo had found them and decided to get revenge on her and her family?
"I said relax, Lissa. Just stop and breathe. Relax and calm down. Your family is safe, don't worry. You'll go home and find that they're safe and sound." the tavern owner said. He then sighed and said "Just this once, I'll let you go early. But be back here even earlier tomorrow.".
Infernal Lissa sighed in relief.
"Thank you, sir." Infernal Lissa said.
She put down the rag and broke into a run out of the tavern, getting glances from the patrons as she left. It was a far walk from the tavern to the hut, and her feet got caked in dirt and dust, but she didn't care. She needed to check up on her children and grandchildren. The worry assaulting her gut could not have been for nothing.
After running for seven minutes, Infernal Lissa finally reached the hut. She expected to see her family dead or missing, but was surprised to see them outside, gathered in front of I'm Reader-anon Universe Alden. He seemed to be showing Infernal Ophelia and Bona some sort of trick. Infernal Lissa was confused for a few moments, but then she became angry when she realized that he wasn't doing any work and was slacking off. She stormed over to the group.
"What is the meaning of this, Alden? Why aren't you working? You aren't here to loaf around and slack off!" Infernal Lissa asked angrily.
Bona approached her grandmother and smiled widely.
"Grandma Lissa, it's okay! Alden taught me and Ophelia magic tricks." Bona replied.
Infernal Lissa narrowed her eyes in confusion at the toddler.
"Magic tricks?" Infernal Lissa asked.
Infernal Ophelia gripped Bona and pulled her half-sister into a side hug.
"Yep, Mommy. He taught us some tricks on manipulating people's perspectives. Like, like, something called the Three Cup Trick." Infernal Ophelia replied.
Infernal Lissa gave a short nod and looked at I'm Reader-anon Universe Alden.
"Are you teaching them something illegal?" Infernal Lissa asked suspiciously.
I'm Reader-anon Universe Alden shook his head.
"No, Ma'am. I noticed that your kids and grandkids were bored, so I wanted to entertain them." I'm Reader-anon Universe replied. He then muttered "Even though what you usually do with them is illegal.".
"What was that?" Infernal Lissa asked suspiciously.
I'm Reader-anon Universe Alden yelped.
"N-Nothing." I'm Reader-anon Universe Alden replied.
Infernal Lissa turned her body and glared at him, with her head turned with a raised eyebrow. She remained like that for a few seconds, before glancing down at her bare feet. They were dirty from having traveled on the village's dirt roads both ways from the hut and tavern, along with having come in contact with things such as spilled drinks and filth at the tavern, and she felt sweaty and worn-out. She looked back up at the group.
"I'm going to go wash off. Alden, don't try any funny business. I'll know of it if you do." Infernal Lissa said.
With that, she headed into the hut and closed the door behind her. I'm Reader-anon Universe Alden scoffed and shook his head.
"What is her problem? I'm not doing anything wrong or dangerous! Why can't she just respect me?" I'm Reader-anon Universe Alden asked.
Infernal Owain looked at the boy with an apologetic look.
"I'm sorry, Alden. My mother's just really had a really hard life. She'll warm up to you, eventually." Infernal Owain replied.
"It's been three days, and she still treats me as if I'm some pest to be handled with on the end of a ten foot pole! All I've done for her is work, and I've served her and the rest of you freaks!" I'm Reader-anon Universe Alden snapped.
He immediately regretted what he said.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean..." I'm Reader-anon Universe Alden started to say.
Infernal Owain shook his head.
"It's alright, Alden. I understand how you're feeling. I'll go have a talk with Mother." Infernal Owain said.
With that, he stood up and headed over to the hut.
Inside, Infernal Lissa had just finished pulling the bucket up from the river after having drawn water. She grabbed the bucket, walked over to the basin, and dumped the water inside. She then stripped off her clothing, stepped in, and sat down, before starting to bathe. She repeatedly cupped water in her palms and rubbed it on certain parts of her skin, which peeled the dirt and grime from her body, and then washed out her hair. She had just finished that and cleaning off all her body, and was about to step out of the basin when Infernal Owain entered the hut. He noticed his mother in the basin and walked over. Infernal Lissa looked up and smiled.
"Hey, Owain." Infernal Lissa greeted.
"Hey, Mother. Mind if I join you?" Infernal Owain asked.
Infernal Lissa nodded and scooted back into the basin as much as she could.
"Not at all, Sweetie. Come on in and join your dear old mother." Infernal Lissa replied.
Infernal Owain stripped off his clothing and dumped it next to Infernal Lissa's discarded clothing, and he then got into the basin and sat down, with his back to her. Infernal Lissa pulled him back, so his head was resting on her breasts, while she had her arms wrapped around his chest. The two sat like that and stared up at the ceiling in silence for a few minutes, before Infernal Owain craned his head to look up at his mother.
"Mother, there's something I'd like to talk to you about." Infernal Owain said.
"Oh? And what's that, Owain?" Infernal Lissa asked.
Infernal Owain sat up and turned to face Infernal Lissa.
"It's about Alden. I think you're being too hard on him." Infernal Owain replied.
Infernal Lissa shook her head and wrapped her arms around him in a hug. The brown haired man returned the hug, and Infernal Lissa brought her lips in for a kiss. The two started making out, even going as far as to tongue kiss each other, before Infernal Lissa broke away.
"I'm not being too hard on him, Owain. I'm being cautious. I don't care what he claims to supposedly be. He could be some sort of criminal. He could be a spy. He could be just anyone trying to hurt you, your siblings, and the little ones. If I'm this cold and don't get close to Alden, then it'll make things easier to protect all of us and eventually let him go." Infernal Lissa said.
She looked down and noticed Infernal Owain's testicle in the water. She reached down and kissed it through the water, before pulling it up and starting to suck on it. Infernal Owain moaned in pleasure, and he leaned his arms out the sides of the basin and relaxed as his mother sucked him off.
"But that's the thing, Mother. He's not some monster out to harm only us. He's just a boy trying to get back home. Your mistrust of him is just really making it hard for him to do that." Infernal Owain said.
Infernal Lissa stopped sucking him and stood up out of the basin, so only the bottom of her legs were standing in the water. She sat on the edge of the basin and spread her legs out invitingly to him. Infernal Owain got the idea, and he sat up, stuck his tongue inside her front opening, and started lapping at it. Infernal Lissa gasped in pleasure and started to moan loudly, but was able to control herself enough to speak.
"That could just be some cover-up. Every man that I've ever gotten close to has either died or mistreated me in some way. Your Uncle Chrom perished, your father died making sure we could live, Colton died, Quen'lo... did really horrible things to me, and now that boy wants to come here, trying to take advantage of my hospitality and peaceful life I have set up to move on from my abuse. I can't witness anymore heartbreak." Infernal Lissa said.
The middle aged woman suddenly started to feel an organism building up, and she started to moan louder and quicker. Infernal Owain was shocked when he could feel her juices channeling through her muscles, and he quickened his lapping. After a few more minutes, Infernal Lissa gave a cry and shot her juices onto her son's face. Her hips bucked, and she had to grip the sides of the basin and steady herself to avoid falling off. She leaned back and breathed heavily for a minute as she regained her bearings, and once she had calmed down, she started to turn her attention back to Infernal Owain. However, she was surprised when she suddenly got pulled off of the basin edge and brought back into the water. Infernal Owain had grabbed her sides and pulled her down, and he positioned her so she leaned back as far as she could go, with her feet and legs sticking up into the air, and he tore his testicle into her back opening. Infernal Lissa moaned in pleasure and rolled over onto her side, and she put one hand on her enlarged belly and the other on Infernal Owain's back, as he rammed in and out of her body. Her saggy breasts and her baby bump jiggled, with her body being rocked back and forth by the sheer force her son was using, and the basin water sloshed around them, with some even splashing out. As he made love to Infernal Lissa, Infernal Owain reached over, grabbed her breasts, and started to grope and knead them.
"Think of it like this, Mom. Alden will just be here for a few more days and will then be gone afterwards. You won't have to see him ever again. We can all go back to living in secrecy from the outside world. And if you're kind to him, he may not even reveal any of this to the others. He could stay silent and we won't be found out. The guards don't even know we are here. You know how they hate going into the ghetto because of the people that Armand sees not fit to live. We're okay, nothing bad will happen to us. No one is coming after us, since people think the two of us are dead and that the other kids don't exist. Only everyone in the village, Aunt Emmeryn, and Alden knows that you're even still alive. Honestly, I'm sorry to say this to you out loud, but your paranoia and overprotectiveness really is a burden at times." Infernal Owain said.
Infernal Lissa became silent, apart from her moaning. She looked down at the water, her expression hard to read to her son, except for her obvious lust. Perhaps angry, perhaps remorseful. Maybe a little bit of both.
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't be so horrible to Alden. I don't hate him, Owain. I hate everyone back in Ylisse, and I let that get the best of me. So... I apologize for that." Infernal Lissa said.
Infernal Owain wanted to tell her that he wasn't the one she needed to apologize to, but he didn't think it was a good idea to say that. So instead, he simply gave a small nod.
"Alden's a good person. But that doesn't change the fact that he suddenly showed up out of nowhere, while there's troubling times back in Ylisse from what the news is like. Him being here brings up certain... issues. Issues that I'm not sure we'll be able to deal with. I feel like it's more trouble for Alden to be here and get close to us, and I stand by that." Infernal Lissa said.
Infernal Owain frowned.
"He's just a kid, Mother." Infernal Owain said.
"I know. That's why... that's why I'm going to give this a chance, at least. Alden deserves it. You and the rest of the kids deserve it. And honestly, I'd rather have him here than somewhere else in the village. Some of the villagers aren't exactly the best of people, you know that." Infernal Lissa said softly.
Infernal Owain smiled.
"Thank you, Mother. And... I'm sorry, too. For everything that happened in the past." Infernal Owain said.
"Hey, don't worry about it, sweetie. It wasn't your fault. It was the people and your witch Aunt Sumia's fault." Infernal Lissa said reassuringly. She then huffed and said "But just... I hope you know what you and the rest of us are doing, Owain. What happened to us in the past was terrifying. I... I don't want any of the kids to be exposed to something like that.".
Infernal Owain had to agree with his mother on that point.
"I don't think that's going to be a problem. Alden seems like a good enough kid to trust. I doubt he'll go babbling and revealing our life here to the outside world." Infernal Owain said. He then smiled at her and asked "So... you'll try to trust Alden more and give him a chance?".
Infernal Lissa pursed her lips, and then sighed and nodded.
"Fine... I'll give him a chance." Infernal Lissa replied.
Infernal Owain nodded.
"Thank you, Mother. Everything's going to be..." Infernal Owain started to say.
Infernal Lissa managed to pull herself off of her son's testicle in the limited space of the basin. She sat up and relaxed, with some sperm that he had started to release into her pregnant womb as he pumped in and out of her body dribbling down her legs.
"But no sex for a week." Infernal Lissa said.
Infernal Owain groaned and sat up.
"Oh, come on." Infernal Owain muttered angrily.
"Location: Infernal Valm, May 11th 2154"
True to her word, Infernal Lissa started trying her best to look past her fears and trust I'm Reader-anon Universe Alden more. As time past, she started to feel better around the boy, to the point she didn't feel quite as anxious or nervous, and she started letting up on his work. He started to not have as much to do for Infernal Lissa and her family, but still continued to work as hard as he could regardless.
Three days later, I'm Reader-anon Universe Alden had finished up around the hut, and he had decided that it was time to go back and reunite with Iniabi and the others. Infernal Lissa had agreed to let him go, and she, Infernal Owain, Clara, Bona, Infernal Ophelia, and the triplets gathered in front of the hut to see him off. Infernal Lissa took out a small bag filled with gold pieces and handed it to him, and then took out another small bag.
"We don't have much to offer you, Alden, but we got what we could and gathered it together for you. There's a bit of food and liquor in this second bag, and a few extra gold pieces. Take them." Infernal Lissa said.
I'm Reader-anon Universe Alden gently pushed the bag back.
"I couldn't accept this. Your family needs this more than I do." I'm Reader-anon Universe Alden said.
"No, I insist. We can make do without this. And I have to admit, you've been a big help to us for the past few days, so my family and I want to reward you. Please, take it." Infernal Lissa said.
I'm Reader-anon Universe Alden looked down at the bag for a few seconds, before reaching out and grabbing it.
"Thank you all." I'm Reader-anon Universe Alden said.
Infernal Lissa nodded.
"I'm sorry we couldn't get you any clothing. Apart from the clothes on our backs and the dresses you made, we can't really afford anymore outfits." Infernal Lissa said.
"It's okay, Lissa. I still have the gold that Emmeryn gave me, so I can use that if I need to buy anything. If not, then I can just snag something really quickly." I'm Reader-anon Universe Alden said.
Bona tearfully looked up at the boy.
"Do you really have to go?" Bona asked.
I'm Reader-anon Universe Alden nodded sadly.
"Yeah, Bona, I have to go. I have to get back to my friends and go home. I'm needed there." I'm Reader-anon Universe Alden replied.
Bona started crying, and she ran up and hugged him, followed by the triplets, who also helped guide Infernal Ophelia over. The boy returned the hug, and then stood up while the children went back over to Infernal Lissa and Infernal Owain.
"Safe travels, Alden. May we meet again some day." Infernal Owain said.
I'm Reader-anon Universe Alden was inwardly disturbed to possibly have to experience the large amount of perversion and incest that happened between Infernal Lissa and her children and grandchildren again, so he instead gave a smile to mask his true feelings.
"Yeah, hopefully." I'm Reader-anon Universe Alden said.
With that, he stood up and started walking away with both bags. Infernal Lissa, her children, and her grandchildren watched as the boy started getting further and further away from the hut, until he had disappeared completely from view beyond the hill in front of the hut. Infernal Ophelia looked over at her mother, and her eyesight was just good enough at the moment to see that Infernal Lissa's stomach looked more larger and expanded than usual.
"Mommy, what's going on with your belly? Why is it bigger? Are you pregnant again?" Infernal Ophelia asked.
Infernal Lissa exchanged a look with Infernal Owain, silently discussing the matter. After a few seconds, the man nodded and placed a hand on his mother's back. Infernal Lissa beckoned their daughter over, and she gently took Infernal Ophelia's hand and placed it on her belly.
"I realize that this probably isn't the best time to tell you, but since we're being so honest... you're going to have another little baby brother soon. And... he's your's, Ophelia. He's not just your brother. He's also your son." Infernal Lissa replied.
Infernal Ophelia screamed with excitement in the way that only a six year old could get away with.
