Chapter 9 is finally here; it took a lot of time to get here but it finally arrived. I am sorry for the very late update, life caught up to me and college decided to point a gun at my balls while life chokes the life out of my soul.
This chapter took a lot of time to write because of a lot of bumps along the way. I won't name any of said bumps since life throws a lot of things at everyone, but I'm just gonna say that it was a pain to go through it.
Big thanks to Demonoid, Old Man of the Mountain, Koll, LuciferHelRiv, Everpeach, Sloth, and many others along the way who helped me with either beta reading or just plain support in general.
I have an important announcement at the end AN. And without further ado, let the chapter go free!
Chapter 9 – Ken, a Performance, and SEGGS
I don't own anything except some stuff
It took us the rest of the day to reach Ur, an entire day to reach Geofu, and another day to reach Ken. Nothing much happened, no bandits, no monsters, the only significant things that happened are Carla's affection for me managing to reach 80 and several rounds of blowjob sessions with Esdeath when we rested at Ur and Geofu for the night.
Suffice to say, between Esdeath's skilled tongue going to work in sucking me dry and some playful teasing with Carla, it's a pretty relaxing journey. While the lack of grinding bothers me, the quest rewards should be enough to make up for it, 10,000 exp goes a long way for low level players.
Reaching Ken was quite the spectacle. The White Citadel, Celestine's home, holds a lot of history and beauty, and I mean that literally, inside and out in more ways than one. The fact that most of the servants working inside are women is a plus. Why? Probably because it has something to do with religious purity spiel and some other prudish mumbo jumbo. Not like it'll matter given what will happen if I don't do anything. Then again, that will not happen anyway, not with me literally cockblocking Vault and his cucks.
All the guards are made up of Claudia's Dawn Templars. Making this place the most secure place in the land…at least as secure as it can be in a hentai world.
Humming to myself, I walked among the halls with Esdeath on my side and Carla on the other, we are currently on our way to greet Alicia and Prim. It took a while to find out which room they were staying in. Thankfully, the servants are nice enough to point us in the right direction.
Speaking of, the rest of the shields are also here. From what I've heard just as we've arrived, Maia and Ruu-Ruu are off drinking up an entire bar. Kaguya has found a solitary place to either meditate or pray. Celestine is still held up in the castle with Claudia at her hip. And finally, Alicia and Prim are staying inside their guest room, probably drinking tea.
Using [Basis of Loki] to hide my lips with an illusion of a smile, I hid the lecherous grin while planning on what I should do with Prim. 'I did tell her that I would be claiming her the next time we met.' Stopping in front of a pair of doors, I held out my hand to knock. 'Well, I can always just tease her. Who knows? Maybe the secret objective in the quest [The Noble Bard] is to fuck Prim while the party is ongoing.' I mused before knocking.
"Alicia? Prim? Its me."
It took a while, but I eventually got my answer.
"You can come in."
I opened the doors. What greeted me was Alicia looking our way with a gentle smile, Prim was beaming but from the look in her eyes and the subtle rubbing of her thighs, it was more than obvious how happy she was to see me.
Hearing a chuckle beside me, I can only mask my amusement. 'Seems that Esdeath has already noticed.' Not that surprising given how Prim has gained a slight blush and a glint in her eyes. I also noticed her hiding her lips behind her teacup only to put down said cup, showing a slight shine into it…yep, she is really trying hard to be seductive with her licking her lips.
It's working, but given how Alicia and Carla are still here, nothing will happen except some exchanging of pleasantries. Esdeath would probably just watch and enjoy the show or maybe she will stand guard outside.
"How was the trip, Abhainn?" I hummed, thinking of a response as I walked towards them before taking a free seat in between them. "Peaceful. No signs of monsters or bandits. The road would need some repairs though." Prim just giggled at my response while Alicia just shook her head mirthfully. Letting out a small chuckle, I grabbed the tea kettle and poured myself some tea. "It feels good to know that the both of you are aware that I am about to arrive today, hence the empty cup."
Prim just gave me a small smile. "When we first arrived, big sis Alicia always had a free seat with a free cup ready in case you arrived. It would be easy to know why~!" Turning to the blond Princess Knight with a cheshire smile, her cheeks reddened slightly, embarrassed of being found out.
Turning her gaze towards Prim, Alicia playfully pinched Prim's cheek in retaliation. I just watched in amusement, they really are close, and for them to be comfortable with me in the room to act like this, it speaks bounds of my relationship with them. Sure, Esdeath and Carla are with us in the room, but given how they are my and Alicia's bodyguard respectively, and how it is well known that Alicia dotes on Prim, then it's not much of a surprise for them.
"Owie~!" I held back a chuckle. Prim might be naughty now, but with Alicia here she just acts like her usual self. A kind girl that loves her cousin to the point of wanting to commit incest with her. Well, at least I know she will act like this even if I corrupt her. Perhaps she will act lewder and more honest with herself but still managing to retain some of her old self. I wouldn't mind, her acting like this has its own charms.
"Carla." Said Knight straightened herself. Alicia gave her a small smile as she looked down at her cup of tea. "How was Feoh? I know it is sudden, but I need to know how everything looked when you stopped by."
"Yes, as of now, everything seems to be fine. There are no problems, and as lord Abhainn had said, there are no monsters or bandits. Hopefully it will remain that way."
And she jinxed it.
"And…" Glancing at her, I raised a brow. She is smiling while grasping at the gem of [Lilac Rose]. "Lord Abhainn has given a very generous donation to the orphanage!" Both Alicia's and Prim's eyes widened before turning to me, I just gave them a playful smile and a wink. "I heard that the orphanage was having some financial troubles. I just gave them enough gold to last them a long time."
"How much?" Leaning back on my chair as Alicia leaned close to me, I decided to give her the honest answer. "I gave them a sack containing 3,000 gold."
"Wha-!"
Alicia's eyes widened before holding her head and going back to her seat. "That's enough to last them for months, if not, a few years." I just shrugged my shoulders. "That is true. But for all the children to be happy in that orphanage, giving the nuns that much gold is the least I can do." Alicia just frowns before sighing. Prim just looks between us in worry.
"Are…are you sure about that? Spending that much gold? You could have given them just as much copper and silver." I turned towards Prim, causing her to sputter and blush. "Of course, what you did is noble and admirable! But is it really okay for you to spend that much?" I just replied with a wave of my hand. "That amount of gold being on my person brings nothing but trouble for me. I wouldn't be able to perform properly with that many coins weighing me down." I joked with a small grin. "And besides, copper and silver would just be a hassle to count, so I gave them gold instead." Although it did hurt to part ways with that much gold.
[+4 Affection with Alicia!]
[Alicia – 54/100 Affection]
[+1 Affection with Carla]
[Carla – 81/100 Affection]
Alicia held back a chuckle while Prim just giggled. I just let out a smile. "Heh, your generosity knows no bounds, young lord." I just rolled my eyes playfully. "I'm serious, I plan to play for the upcoming party and I need to be able to move properly otherwise I would end up just playing coins instead." I let a smirk form from my lips. "The clinking of coins will only attract the attention of the greedy. Nothing more, nothing less."
"That is true. But the question still remains, are you sure about giving away that much money?" I shrugged as I took a sip of my tea. "Of course, the children in that orphanage deserve to be happy." Pursing my lips, I looked out at the open window. "I cannot imagine what would happen if their misfortune continues. Many things can happen, the children being forced to work is just one of them." Frowning, I looked down at my cup. "Children are not supposed to work, they are supposed to play with each other, enjoying the beauty that is life. When they grow up they lose that ability in exchange for responsibility."
"And it is thanks to you that the children are able to do that." Tilting my head towards Carla, I nodded in reply before turning toward Alicia. Closing my eyes for a few seconds, I let out a sigh. "Even though I have given them that much money, you need to investigate the orphanage, Alicia. From what I gathered from the talk I had there, the money that you donated to them keeps getting stolen." Narrowing my eyes, I leaned forward. "And judging from the way the orphanage's state is alongside the staff, I believe them when they say they aren't embezzling it."
Alicia just pursed her lips before looking down in thought. "Yes, I've heard reports of it. However it's always been when any large amount has been donated. In such a case, you should also be worried about the money you donated as well. " I shook my head. "There won't be a chance for that to happen. The money that you donate. That's the gold that's being stolen. Sure others were willing to help out but there were never any other donations that could even reach half of what you give them and that money was left untouched."
Is this a total gamble? Yes. It all depends on whether it is Beasley who is taking all the gold that the orphanage needs, if not, it can also be someone who is in Alicia's inner circle. While it is well known that Alicia cares for the nuns and children in the orphanage, the amount of gold she donates should only be known to those in her inner circle.
"While I donated a huge sum, it is very unlikely it will be stolen." A reassuring look spread across my face causing Esdeath's legs to quiver from the corner of my eyes. "After all, those greedy officials won't be able to steal my donation without exposing themselves."
Alicia blinked once. Then twice before my words registered. Figuring out what I'm implying, Alicia glared at me. "What do you mean?" Prim looks like she's panicking, Carla looked at me worriedly, and Esdeath just looked amused.
Shrugging off her glare, I looked her straight in the eyes. "Let me answer that question with another question. How many of those in your inner circle know that you donated?" Blinking in confusion, Alicia leans back before shaking her head. "All of them know."
Bingo.
"Then we have the first clue." I took a sip of my tea. "However, this is also quite problematic since you can't just investigate them without breaking their trust or alerting the corrupt official." Alicia frowned as she looked down, thinking. She remained like this for a few seconds before looking up at me. Unease is clearly showing in her face, no doubt she trusts those in her inner circle a lot and hearing me suspecting them of embezzlement is clearly causing her to hesitate.
Closing my eyes and crossing my arms, I just let out a soft sigh before giving Alicia a gentle smile. "Don't worry about that now. We are in Lady Celestine's home to celebrate. No need for anything serious to cloud our own minds, we are all here to be hearty and enjoy ourselves." Giving a quick glance towards Prim, I hummed. "You can worry about who is stealing once you finish your business here."
Hearing this, Alicia clenched her fist.
"But-!"
I was about to cut her off but a certain Knight beat me to it.
"But nothing, your highness!"
Raising a brow, I turned my attention towards Carla. She is clenching her fists, sweating, and she clearly looks nervous speaking out to her sworn liege.
'Hmm, now that I think about it, why is she by my side and not Alicia's?'
"Carla…" The shock seems to be enough to knock her out of it. Smiling to myself, I leaned back and let this play out. Seemingly knowing that she is free to speak more from me, Carla breathed in to calm her nerves.
"While it is very admirable to hear and witness your determination in seeing justice be done, it will only be in vain if you allow it to take over your own self." Taking a step forward, Carla continues. "If you let it control your own thoughts and actions, you will only end up falling short because of how tired you will be!"
Nodding in approval, I snapped my fingers to catch everyone's attention. "Alicia, you are the sword that protects Feoh and her people. I may not be a Knight, but I know that swords will chip and rust without proper care."
Lights, camera, action!
Leaning forward to gently grab her hand, I gave her a soft look while squeezing said hand. "Please, Alicia. While I worry for the nuns and the children, I worry for you too." Frowning, I looked down at the table. "Do you know how it feels? To sit and wander around the castle, playing my music, greeting the people living in our lands, having fun with them while my precious friends are off fighting bandits? Monsters? To possibly hear that one day you fall or worse, kidnapped for Goddess knows what?!" Letting more emotions seep through my voice, I gritted my teeth. "All I can do is pray for I know my father has his hands full protecting our lands…" My hands shook, grasping her hands tightly.
Her eyes are getting all teary and I can see her lips quivering.
Looking at Alicia, I can see her tears slowly running down her eyes. Flashing her a small smile, I gently pulled her hand and intertwined my fingers with hers. "So, please. Take care of yourself more. You can only take care of others by taking care of yourself first. If not for your sake, then do it for Feoh, for Prim…for me…"
[+10 Affection with Alicia!]
[Alicia – 64/100 Affection]
Closing my eyes, I felt the urge to laugh but immediately squashed it. 'Not now.' I thought to myself as I stood up and walked towards Alicia before wiping away the tears from her eyes, causing her to blush. "Maybe the reason why lady Celestine is hosting this is for you to rest?" I cracked a joking grin, this caused Prim to giggle as she leaned her head towards Alicia. Prim gave me a sultry smile for a brief second while glancing at Alicia. Humming in amusement, I just kept a smile for all to see.
"What Abhainn has said is right, big sis. You can't work if all the stress is built up inside of you, breaking you down in ways I cannot imagine." Looking up at Alicia, Prim gave her a sweet smile. "So, please? Please enjoy yourself in the upcoming days."
With the combination of Carla, Prim, and I, Alicia can't help but resign with a small smile on her face. "Fine. You win." Chuckling to myself, I reached out to my side of the table, took my cup of tea, and drank the rest of it.
10 minutes later
Alicia had left, something to do with her own personal Knights, Carla had joined her to catch up with her sister Knights, Esdeath, being my personal bodyguard remained with me, and Prim just didn't leave, wanting to catch up with me, or so Alicia and Carla were told.
Right now, Esdeath is standing guard outside the door, leaving me alone in the room with Prim who is literally wet with need. Enjoying my view of her twitching legs, I motioned her to come closer. The naughty pinkette stood up and started to shakily walk towards me. I raised a curious brow, noticing how wet her crotch is. Seeing a huge dark spot in her panties marks for an impressive time of how quickly she got wet.
"Abhainn~!" Prim moaned before hopping on my lap, her voice laced with lust. She lets out a pleased groan as she aggressively rubs her crotch over mine. "Are you going to take me here now? Oh, how sinful! Right in Lady Celestine's own home! Alicia wi-mmph!" I took her lips before she could finish what she was saying. Easily dominating her mouth with my tongue, I can taste something slightly sugary, cake?
'Well, she does have some cake of her own.' I thought with a mental snicker as I lightly slapped one of Prim's ass cheeks. This caused her to let out a squeak but only for a brief second before giggling naughtily.
'Oh dear, what have I brought into this world?' Chuckling in amusement, I kneaded her firm buttocks. Pulling away from her lips, I gave her a smirk. "You're so naughty, Prim." I huskily whispered as she rubs her body against me lewdly. Mewling in response, Prim just nuzzled into my chest before giving me a playful pout.
"But it's your fault, you know?" She grabbed my hand before leading it to her damp panties causing her to let out a soft moan. "You touched me here." She let out another moan as I slid the fabric and inserted two of my fingers in her mound. Grinding her wet pussy over my hand, the horny pinkette giggles while moaning. She straightened her back before pulling down her dress to reveal her big perfect spheres.
Humming in appreciation, I used my [Sensual Touch] before curling my two fingers inside her, then rubbing her clit with my thumb. The effect was immediate, her back arched while letting out a loud moan. Raising my brow, I felt her pussy gushing out a spray of juice on my hand.
'Quite the squirter.' I chuckled before turning my attention on her tits. "And I touched you here." I said as my free hand landed on one of her nipples, twisting and pinching it. "Mnnnaaah!" Prim's face is riddled in ecstasy as I continue to attack both her sweet spots. Feeling Prim's dainty hands rub all over my clothed shaft, I groan before leaning forward and capturing her lips in a searing kiss.
She moaned into the kiss as she pressed her breasts towards me, our liplock lasted for a minute before needing to pull back for air. Her flushed cheeks, eyes shining in lust and affection, and her wet pussy wanting some good dicking, all it takes is me unbuckling my pants and ramming my cock deep inside her virgin hole.
But not yet. I still have a quest to finish and there is a secret objective in said quest. Maybe the secret objective is to fuck Prim during the party? Who knows? But it's better to be safe than sorry.
And the likeliness of her tempting me to fuck her is very high considering my parting words with her last time. So, with a heavy heart, I prepared myself to tease Prim with my mouth and fingers for the next few days until the party starts.
Esdeath's POV
"Huh? Abhainn why are you kneeling do-aah!" Prim's muffled screech turned into moans. 'If I wasn't here, then everyone in the White Citadel would be hearing them right now.' Rolling her eyes, Esdeath chuckles as she leans into the door. Said door's handle is glowing slightly with a magic circle. "A-Abhainn! Ooooh!" Hearing them, her own body grows hot each second, she listens in on her lord and the pinkette's lovey dovey lewd moment.
Feeling her own pussy secreting its own juices, she panted as she heard Prim let out another moan before mewling into her lord's embrace.
"My lord, why must you tease me so?" She held her own moans as she squeezed her own tits. Imagining herself making love to her charge. Oh how the pleasure will etch right down to their faces.
"More! Lick me more! Aaaahn~!"
1 hour later
After satisfying Prim and getting that delicious 10,000 gold and exp, plus Prim's sweet nectar. With the amount of exp I managed to get, my level increased to 15, a huge leap that I am happy about especially with 30 points to spend on my stats. But as of now, I won't spend any of it. I need to think about it first.
Right now, I am currently seated in a beautiful garden. I should be happy and feel relaxed. Instead…
"I said relax, which means do nothing." I sigh as I look at Alicia in exasperation. Prim is not here because she is resting after our private time earlier, Esdeath is with me looking very much amused, and Alicia is looking stiff while trying to relax.
"No, no putting your hands over your lap. You are to put your arms over the arms of the chair and let your hands relax there. No stiff movements, no looking around, and no you are not getting your sword back." I stared at her in the eyes, never would have thought that I can see determination to relax of all things. But if I want to make sure that whoever is causing trouble in Alicia's inner circle gets found out or at the very least, starts walking on eggshells, I need to have Alicia be in her top shape. And while it is tempting to have her be stressed for the plan I made weeks ago to make her fall, that will only cause me trouble in the long run now that I think about it. Too many risks that come with more downs that are a pain to deal with. So, instead, come up with a different plan.
Closing my eyes for a brief moment, I inhaled through my nose before exhaling. Hiding a hand behind my cloak, I grabbed my [Lucky Wood] from my inventory and began to play. Music has always made things better
The music is soft, quick, beautiful, soothing. The first two melodies almost sound similar but they are different. Letting my memories guide me through playing the piece, I let my mind drift away from the building stress on teaching Alicia to relax.
I swear it's like the fucking concept is so foreign to her.
Inhaling through my nose, I let the music continue playing, my fingers played the notes perfectly. Lowered intensity, starting the same melody except ending it with a higher intensity, then repeating the same except with lower intensity again.
Then it's straight to a different melody, I can hear the birds around us gathering, I heard Alicia gasp in awe while Esdeath giggles silently to herself, probably remembering when she found Chloe and I, that perverted bodyguard of mine.
Ending it softly, I opened my eyes and blinked a few times in confusion before giving Alicia an amused smile. "You have finally relaxed." My lips curled into a playful grin. Blinking in shock, Alicia looked at her body before giving me a cheeky smile. "I guess I have." She then let out a soft laugh.
Seeing nothing else to do, I just joined in the laughter.
?
Her long ears wiggled as she heard the sounds of faint laughter, one male and one girl. Stopping in her tracks, she looked outside and smiled beautifully witnessing the scene before her. Alicia smiling and laughing with a white-haired boy, a noble.
"You Holiness?" Humming as she glanced at her bodyguard and friend, Claudia Levantine, Celestine Lucullus continued watching the scene before her. Hearing the sounds of footsteps behind her, Celestine moved to the side to show Claudia what she has been watching for the past few seconds.
At first, Claudia looked curious, then she smiled. Looking towards the blue haired knight beside the young man, Claudia hums in recognition.
"Esdeath, the Ice Queen. If she is here, then that means that the young man beside her is the heir of Calarus Óran of the Óran household, Abhainn Óran." A flash of recognition shone from Celestine's green eyes. "So, he is his son? To hold an instrument rather than a sword, I like him!" She giggles, this caused Claudia to roll her eyes. "From what I have heard, his father holds no hope in making him a knight." She frowned, concerned if the young man is being treated by his father the same way her father-in-law, Graves Levantine, does towards her husband, Klaus Levantine.
Holding her friend's shoulder, Celestine gave her a positive smile. "I have met Baron Calarus before. He is strict, but he is honorable. It is unfortunate that he himself cannot attend. But at least his son is here to represent their house." Turning towards Abhainn, a gentle smile curls from her lips. "I am sure that even if he is disappointed that his son cannot be a knight, he still loves him."
Silence. Closing her eyes to form a quick prayer, Claudia hopes that that is indeed the case.
"Prim has also suggested that I allow a friend of hers to play." A small twinkle appeared in her eyes as she eyed the young noble playing his flute. Noticing her friend's ears wiggle in excitement, Claudia gave her friend a puzzled expression.
Giggling to herself, Celestine held a hand to her cheek.
"If this is how it sounds like, then I wonder what he will play when the time comes?"
10 hours later
"Awmosht…urgh, drank more than me. Fuwcking midget and her shtupid nashural reshitansh." A red-haired figure giggled drunkenly as she stumbled around the hallways of Celestine's home. A pair of guards passed by her, one of them shaking their head in amusement "What a parteh!" She hiccupped. "W-Whoa!" Almost stumbling, she caught herself by holding on to a doorknob.
Narrowing her eyes, she twisted the doorknob. Grinning stupidly as the door opened, she entered the room, closing the door, and proceeded to slip off her leotard, revealing her voluptuous body to the world.
Moaning in delight, her babies are finally freed from her tight clothing. Even if it's not restricting, it still gets a little tight after a long day of wearing it. Then again, that's pretty much on her for having a leotard as her everyday clothing.
Maia yawned. "Sleep." She muttered as she made her way towards the bed. Blinking in confusion, she patted on the bed sheets. "Huh? Thish ishn't my room?" She stared at the lump covered by the sheet for a few seconds before shrugging. "Probably Alicia…heh…" With a mischievous grin, Maia slipped herself into the bedsheet, making herself comfortable before slipping off to dreamland.
'Can't wait to hear Alicia's screams tomorrow.'
Next day
Waking up because of the birds chirping seems very odd, especially for a gamer, but when you live in a world full of monsters and magic, I can say that being a light sleeper is a given. Especially with my circumstances.
Now I don't need sleep because I am a gamer. And yet, why do I sleep? Because I had nothing to do and I do enjoy sleeping. And while I can level up my skills by playing my instruments in a tavern, it's too risky to do so. This might be Celestine's fortress, but I can't take any chances, not with Esdeath needing her sleep to be at her top condition. If I wasn't nerfed to begin with, I would have no problem going alone, I can manage and I can fight.
But since I am nerfed to the ground at the start, I need to always have someone who can be my bodyguard. I learned the hard way with Morgan and his goons, which was within my family's territory.
I opened my eyes and smirked as I sat up from my bed without any problems. No drowsiness, no sluggish movements, just energetic and fluid moves. It was a weird feeling at first, having to sleep and wake up without feeling like you have just woken up. Then again, I am a Gamer. I have no real need for sleep. Although it is very appreciated.
Stretching my arms above my head, I groaned as I heard a satisfying pop. "I will never get tired of that." I chuckled as I started to pop my fingers. Closing my eyes, I opened my stats.

"Should probably start putting my points." I hummed. But just as I was about to mentally spend all my points, I heard something…erotic.
"Mmm…"
Stopping in my tracks, I looked to my side and noticed a human sized bulge on the bed sheet. I can however, easily make out the mop of red hair.
Only one character stands out with that type of hair, and that is Maia. Well known as the Mercenary Queen who had managed to become one of the Seven Shields through her merits alongside the Black Dogs. After accepting her new role as a Shield, she left her old mercenary group and formed her own stationed at Ansur, her own fortress.
Narrowing my eyes, I felt my nose twitch a bit from the scent of alcohol wafting from her. Looking down on the floor, I can see her leotard lying on it, quite messily. Going back to the redhead beside me, I hummed. While covered by the bedsheet, her body is quite a sight to behold with how I can easily make out the curves around her body. I can even see the outline of her nipples, wonder if she's having a wet dream?
Click!
"Good morning, Abha-!" Prim happily marched into the room before stopping at the sight of Maia sleeping beside me. Her eyes darted to her clothes on the floor before looking straight towards me. I immediately felt nervous. I can see the gears in her brain coming up with a conclusion.
Her face went from happy, to confused, to disappointment, and to anger. And since she wants our first time to be with each other, it didn't take long for her to-
"MAIA!"
Scream.
Hearing her name being screamed, Maia instinctively got up, a look of focus mixed with drowsiness present on her face. Quite an odd combination. But because of her sudden awakening, her bare body is visible for all to see. The jiggle of her bare breasts being quite the sight, her ass is nothing to scoff at either. With Maia's toned abs and her supple hourglass figure, then it is easy to say she is a 10 in my book.
If I were to describe Maia, then she is what is easily called a wild woman. Someone who lives in the thrill of life, always living on edge and always carefree.
Seeing me staring at Maia's body, Prim huffed as she approached her fellow Shield, grabbing her leotard from the floor, and unceremoniously tossing it towards her. Blinking in confusion, Maia rubbed the drowsiness off of her eyes before looking around her.
Once her gaze landed on me, her eyes widened in surprise. She is perfectly mimicking the phrase "a deer caught in headlights". It wasn't before I closed my eyes and did a fake cough did she manage to get herself out of her stupor.
"Ah, morning Prim." The mercenary chuckled weakly, her smile looking strained. The pinkette however was having none of it, with her hands on her hips and her face looking enraged, it doesn't take a genius to know that she is jealous.
After all, she is expecting our first time to be with each other.
Sighing in annoyance, I rubbed my eyes before standing up. "Prim." Focusing her eyes on me, I let out a mental sigh before flashing her a smile. "We did not do anything." She doesn't look convinced. Rolling my eyes, I pointed towards myself. "I am still clothed, Prim." I would have mentioned that Maia had also been drinking based on what I can smell from her earlier, but the chances of that coming into another misunderstanding are high.
Prim closed her eyes after a few awkward moments of silence. She let out a sigh to calm herself before looking at me with a smile. I swear it feels like Prim is being obsessive with me sometimes. Then again, I am the one who did kind of seduce her with the promise of claiming her.
In a way, from her point of view before I said anything to her, I fucked Maia first before her. But thankfully, misunderstandings like this can be easily cleared out. All it takes is being calm while presenting the evidence.
Standing up, I walked towards Prim, gently grabbed her hands and led her to the corner of the room. "Lady Maia should dress herself, and while it would be improper of me to stay in the same room as the lady who is dressing, I would rather not go outside looking like this." I jokingly pointed to my messy bed hair.
Looking down, Prim giggled with a lewd smile. "Of course, it would be most…improper for you to go outside like that." Heh, cheeky girl.
Things looked like it would calm down, but apparently Prim had different ideas. Moving past me, I raised a brow seeing a rather…sinister gleam in her eyes.
"Hmm? Prim, wha-" Maia let out a surprised high pitched moan. "Not my nipples!" My eyes widened before I quickly turned around without thinking.
Maia is squirming with a heavy blush on her face. Her face expressed both pain and pleasure as she held off a moan from Prim pinching and twisting both her nipples. The pinkette princess was smiling playfully, occasionally letting out a rather sensual laugh.
"PleAASE!" The redhead squealed, her juicy thighs squeezed tight and shining because of her pussy juice. "Ufufu~!" I felt a shiver run down my spine, not out of fear, but out of how arousing this scene is. A formerly innocent princess teasing the usually dominant mercenary.
I felt myself go hard at this. I really wanted to bend the both of them over and just go to town on them while painting their wombs and bodies white with my seed. But alas, that will result in us being discovered. With how loud Maia is being thanks to Prim teasing her, I have no doubt that we have already attracted enough attention.
The fact that Prim went straight to my room has probably gotten some attention from anyone if they saw her. A princess personally visits a guest room, once they find out who's room it is, then it'll get even more attention, especially if the person she is visiting is a Baron.
The world has taught me a lot about people who can't keep their mouth shut.
"What's gotten into you?!" Maia questioned in between moans. Her legs trembled before parting slightly, revealing her bare pussy to me. A few moments passed before a thought occurred to me.
With this situation, I can get another objective done for [You Only Lick Once]. The only problem is that it will be easily noticeable. Prim wouldn't mind, probably, but Maia would. 'Even with the situation I'm in it's too ris-' My eyes widened as, either because of my built up luck or because of Prim wanting to play with Maia some more, the pink haired princess managed to somehow push down the redhead.
This didn't stop Prim as she continued to assault Maia's shapely tits. "S-Stop!" My eyes widened, now looking at Maia's clean, shaven pussy. Letting in a deep breath, I took a silent step forward. My goal is clear, the 10,000 gold and exp.
"Just one lick, just got to be quick." Stealthily making my way around the bed, I gave Prim a small tap. Looking at me, I just gave her a wink before putting a finger over my lips to give her the universal sign of shushing. Staying still but not stopping her teasing she just let out a small giggle, her eyes shining in naughty mischief before focusing all her attention on the redhead.
Silently humming in approval, I lowered my head and came face to face with Maia's wet pussy. Feeling my lips curl into a grin as I watched some of Maia's juices drip down her snatch. From what I've learned, Maia is quite wild under the sheets, doing one-night stands to men she likes from time to time.
To be honest, I expected her pussy to look busted or anything at all to show that it's fair use of action, but it doesn't look like it. Clean and shaven, and it doesn't smell bad. Looking up at Prim's back, I just shook my head in amusement.
'Maybe it's because of her hangover, being caught off guard, tits being her weakness, or a mixture of all three, but seeing Maia somehow being overpowered by Prim, the daintiest girl I have ever known is quite hilarious.'
I'm tempted to use [Sensual Touch], but best to not risk it. If Prim has both of her hands busy teasing Maia using her tits, then it would be easy to figure out who licked her pussy, considering I'm the only other person in the room. As much as I want to eat out Maia, I will only have to settle for one lick.
Just a single moment.
Slipping my tongue out from my lips, I quickly lapped up Maia's pussy, making sure to stretch my tongue for as much as I could. She let out a high-pitched squeak between her moans, but quickly got back to moaning thanks to Prim.
Narrowing my eyes, I got notified of leveling up from 15 to 19. I got 6 levels from yesterday and now I got 4, not bad. Still not going to spend my stat points now, not until I can find a silent place to speck it all in.
'And the 10,000 gold I got.' I felt a goofy grin settle on my lips. I'm pretty rich right now, especially with copper and silver still being counted as currency in this medieval hentai world. Have to take advantage of it.
Walking a few inches away from the bed, I made sure to turn my back towards them to play the respectful noble. I have a reputation to build and uphold, and having two Shield Princesses witness me respectfully looking away is a good step.
Grabbing some of my clothes and quickly putting them on, I went to the door before giving them both a glance. "On second thought, I will be going now. It is highly improper of a man to remain any longer in this situation."
Prim turned towards me for a moment and gave me a sultry smile before teasing Maia. 'Oh dear, I have turned Prim into an absolute minx.' Shrugging my shoulders, I just left the room. 'Wonder how Maia would act around Prim after this? It would be interesting to see.' I chuckle mirthfully, letting Prim have her fun.
Now then, it's time to get my stats in order.

Putting down [Lucky Wood], I let out a small sigh. Esdeath is probably training, Alicia is off doing something, and Prim is…well she's probably somewhere around the White Citadel. Glancing at my stats, I let out a soft chuckle. 'Too bad I can only increase my luck only once a day, well at least I have something to look forward to tomorrow.' Closing my eyes, I smiled as I felt the winds caressing my skin. The gentle rustles of the grass, the soft tweets of the birds, and the soothing scent of the garden fauna.
'As expected, a garden for a goddess is one of the best places to relax.'
"That was wonderful." A soft voice rang out making me blink before turning to the source of the voice. A woman wearing a very sinful miko clothing especially without the lower half that is only "covered" by very thin fundoshi. Looking down, I was greeted by a pair of very juicy looking thighs covered only by thigh high socks leading down to her feet with a pair of getas on.
In front of me is Kaguya, the Shield Princess of Thorn. The fortress that is said to forever snow. Makes me wonder how Kaguya manages to keep dressing like the way she is despite the cold. Then again, probably because of magic. I could be wrong though; I remember rumors spreading of people that live in Thorn bathing themselves under a cold waterfall. Could be false, but the internet back home has shown me plenty of superhuman feats.
An unexpected meeting, but this is an opportunity that I cannot waste. If I want her to have some form of interest with me, I need to stand out among the others who do not follow her people's culture. Thankfully, thanks to a certain old man back at Óran lands, I managed to learn some cultural stuff. Granted it's pretty much the same with Japan back in my old world, but it's good to be sure of everything.
A young noble who wishes to learn about her people but stumbles with some things is sure to catch her attention.
Flashing her a smile, I stood up and bent my waist, making sure to keep my back and neck straight, my feet together, and finally, my arms straight at my sides. A formal Japanese bow, well executed, not that hard to do so anyway.
"Thank you very much, Lady Kaguya."
[+5 Reputation with Kaguya!]
[Kaguya – 5/100 Reputation]
"How curious, you know of my people's greetings?" I stood straight to look her in the eyes. "Yes, I am rather curious about your people and your culture, Kaguya…san?" I paused while adopting a thinking expression. Her eyes widened slightly before a small smile formed from her lips. "It is sama." Blinking for a few moments, I gave her a sheepish grin.
"My apologies, Kaguya-sama." I corrected. "I am Baron Abhainn Óran of the Óran household. It is an honor to meet you." She just gave me a small nod before approaching me.
"Likewise," Giving me a small smile, she kneeled slightly on the grass before sitting down in seiza. Motioning a hand towards me, I followed her with some difficulty, especially on my feet. She chuckles mirthfully, probably because of my pained expression when trying to do so.
"Now, what do you wish to learn about my people?"
Needless to say, I spent the rest of my morning with her.
5 hours later
"For someone who is known for being quiet, she talked quite a lot." I mused silently with a small pep in my step. 'It was very worth it too.' Glancing at my side, I opened Kaguya's relationship with me.
[Kaguya – 50/100 Reputation]
It was surprisingly easy to build up my relationship with her. All I had to do was ask a lot of questions about her people and answer some of her own questions. Most of her questions were pretty mundane, but me asking a lot of questions while looking like an excited student has pretty much made an impression of her.
She even promised to meet me next time.
'Got a good look at her cheeks when she left too! Ah, to think that a Baron such as I managed to catch the attention of Kaguya, probably the most exotic of all the Seven Shields because of her appearance. Many nobles would be tearing at their hair if they find out.' Twirling [Lucky Wood] around my fingers, a cheeky smile on my lips.
"Learned quite a lot from Kaguya, Amatersians…an odd name to call your people while being derived from Amaterasu and Asian." I silently muttered the last part. Looking around me, I noticed various servants leaving with envelopes waxed and sealed.
"Party's gonna start in 3 days, huh? I Feel like I just arrived here." Scratching my head, I frowned. Say what you want about not needing sleep or waking up without feeling like you just woke up, it really fucked with my sense of time. It still feels good to sleep, but without the drowsy feeling of waking up, it just doesn't feel complete.
Shaking my head, I continued walking, making sure to keep an eye on anything interesting. 'Maids, butlers, guards...yep, nothing interesting.' At least that was the case until I heard footsteps running up behind me.
"Abhainn!" A familiar loli voice rang throughout the room making me blink for a second before I felt a small figure crash onto my back and a pair of small arms wrap around my chest. The next thing I know, I'm facing the ceiling and could've sworn I was seeing stars.
'What was the number of that truck that hit me?' I thought to myself before shaking my head. My vision slowly comes back to me before I see the 'truck' was actually a very over enthusiastic woman child.
"Hehe~!" Rolling my eyes playfully, I let out a lighthearted sigh before getting back up with her clinging to me. The familiar orange hair, the pink mischievous eyes staring at me, and the toothy grin Ruu-Ruu is giving me just makes me chuckle in amusement.
"Lady Ruu-Ruu." I greeted respectfully, making sure to be mindful of the people around us. Knowing her, she wouldn't give a damn about formalities, but a mere Baron being cozy with a Shield Princess is bound to spread some rather unsavory rumors and even the odd chance of some rumors that I am very disrespectful can happen too. It would be different if Ruu-Ruu herself tells me to drop the formalities, but she hasn't said th-
"Drop the stuffy formalities! Bleh!" The loli gave me a sour expression while playfully sticking out her tongue. I just gave her a knowing look. "Of course." She huffed before letting go and twirling around to face me.
Her cloak fluttered around the wind for a brief second, revealing to me her petite body alongside her cute pink tips. I held back a grin while giving the halfling a head pat. Her tail wagged happily while leaning forward to my touch.
Looking at my fingers, I shrugged before using [Sensual Touch] on her. The effect is instant. She leaned deeper into my touch, her tail wagged more ferociously, and she wrapped her arms around my waist before rubbing her face against my stomach.
A few seconds passed before Ruu-Ruu pulled herself away and looked me straight in the eyes. "Play your flute! PLay your flute!" My eyes widened as, without any further explanation, Ruu-Ruu grabbed my arm and pulled me with the strength of God knows how many men. Not even caring if she were making a ruckus. Then again, Ruu-Ruu is well known to cause trouble every now and then.
"Make way! Brilliant and beautiful princess and her magnificent bard coming through!" She cheered and even with all the noise she was making, literally dragging me without too much effort. I can see several servants just shaking their heads, some just flashed us amused smiles all throughout the halls.
Rolling my eyes in amusement, I managed to somehow keep up with the halfling princess's energy. At the entrance I had to stop her so that my clothes didn't get mud from the roads. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any carriages or any sort of transport to help us on our way down towards the town, but the walk was a bit easier with the company I had in tow. With Ruu-Ruu's seemingly unlimited amount of energy, we managed to make it towards a tavern.
'Sunshine's Headache, quite fitting.'
Now normally I would be nervous without Esdeath or Ōkami to protect me, especially with the last time I was in one. But since Ruu-Ruu is with me, I have no worries. Although it does slightly worry me that she is not carrying her axe, lugging around something that big should give her punches the kick it needs to send someone straight through a wall.
BAM!
Speaking of kicks, Ruu-Ruu kicked open the door.
"GIMME BEER!" And with that cute childish roar, Ruu-Ruu went straight to the bartender, leaving me to just trail after her, amused. Around us are crowds upon crowds of people. Some look like they're just here for cooling off but the majority seem to be rough-looking.
Narrowing my eyes, I took a seat beside Ruu-Ruu. Glancing towards a group of people, I noticed the emblem on their shoulder. A snarling dog. In fact, most of the people in the tavern have the same emblem.
The Black Dog mercenary group.
'This world might've been a hentai, but if the dogs have their dirty hands in most places like these, then I can see them taking over the country even without relying on hentai plot armor.' I hummed to myself, discreetly hiding a frown as one of the mercenaries decided to point the finger at me while chuckling with his buddies.
'A monkey has more tact than these lowlifes. At least the others back home are easier to deal with, probably has something to do with my father being active in his patrols.' I mused before blinking, feeling a nudge on my side, I turned to see Ruu-Ruu giving me an excited grin, her tail wagging behind her cloak. I just let out a lighthearted sigh before taking out [Lucky Wood] from my inventory. 'Well, if anything, I can use this opportunity to try to get some information from them.' Licking my lips, I stood up before bringing my lips down the mouthpiece.
2 hours later
Spending the rest of my afternoon with Ruu-Ruu and the tavern goers inside the Sunshine's Headache was something. While I have experienced the liveliness that is Anna's tavern, it doesn't compare to what this place has in store with me.
Glancing at Ruu-Ruu gulping down her fifth barrel of beer, I shrugged, chalking it off as anime, or in this case, hentai logic after she finished her third earlier.
Either way, it was a pleasant experience, if not for the fact that it took some time for most people to get used to me thanks to my [Foreigner] perk. The people inside are even more rowdy than the mercenaries at home, especially since they made me sing. Thankfully, I came prepared thanks to the former pirate living in my family's territory, Goose. Learning about the two seas: the Harsbray Sea and the Emerald Ocean from him made me prepare. And perhaps because I was genuinely excited to sing 'Sea Shanty', the crowd went along with me with the rhythmic banging of the table. There were some people who asked what the Wellerman is, but a few well-placed words along with some charisma skill checks and my [Silver Tongued] perk, then they're off my back.
Looking out the tavern, I let out a small smile, noticing a familiar strand of blue hair. Looks like Esdeath is stalking us. The fact that I'm in a tavern probably made her take action, not that I can blame her for what happened last time I was in a tavern without her to guard me.
3 days later
The days went by quickly. I spent those days trying to get close with the Seven Shields.
Prim and Alicia, being childhood friends with them has its perks and those include being able to spend the time with them, much to the chagrin of other nobles with sticks up their asses.
Maia, unfortunately, I couldn't get much in touch with her, not that I can do anything about it. I felt like she was avoiding me…but since I was there when Prim teased her into oblivion, I don't blame her. Just got to find another opportunity sometime soon.
Ruu-Ruu is a bundle of energy packed inside her petite body. Always running around without any trace of getting tired and whenever the opportunity comes, I would get dragged in on her tavern adventures.
Kaguya is the most I've managed to work on. In her eyes, I look like a curious noble who wishes to learn more about her and her people. I have managed to get her reputation to 100 just by asking questions and answering hers correctly. This gives me the condition to unlock her [Affection], said condition is simply impressing her.
Claudia and Celestine were hard to approach, not because of how hard it is to approach them, but simply because they are both too busy. Unfortunate, however, it was able to give me the chance to focus on building my relationship with Kaguya.
Of course, I didn't forget about Esdeath, I forgot how many times I had to make her cum while she sucked me dry. Say what you want about her but she can be a sweetheart that loves to cuddle…once you get past her sadistic streak and her need for blood to spill. And her need to invent new ways to increase a man's suffering. And her constant aura of murder that I got used to living with her…All I'm saying is I am so glad that she is my soon to be lover and not my enemy.
Overall, the days were well spent and the party has started. I have already downed the contraceptive I bought a couple of days ago. This will be Prim's and my first time, but let's not get an unexpected surprise for later. That is something for later down the road.
"And for the finishing touch." My lips curled into a smirk, I held out one of my hands and took out the [Mask of the Virtuoso] before slowly and dramatically putting it on. With my tasteful dark blue vest embroidered with white vine-like patterns, black cotton pants, polished black leather boots, and a white cape with some light blue accents, I can say with pride that I am rocking it.
Turning to the mirror just beside me, I felt excitement course through me. Unleashing my inner Jhin, I dramatically held out both my hands.
"The stage is set and now the curtain rises." My voice, smooth yet slightly muffled and the echoes by the mask sends a shiver down my spine. [Silky Voice] helps a lot too. I'd probably make many ladies be as wet as a waterfall if my voice gets any smoother. Inhaling, I closed my eyes for a brief moment before opening them. I can see my eyes gaining a glint in the mirror.
Turning to the door, I started making my way towards it. The party is about to start in a few minutes now. Stopping and glancing at the mirror, I huffed with a proud smile. "As they say, the clothes make the man." Opening the door, my eyes widened for a brief second before I hummed appreciatively.
Esdeath is wearing a thin strapped dark blue dress that reaches past her knees, the deep V-neck cut showing a very generous amount of her cleavage which will surely turn many heads tonight. Looking down, my smile widened significantly upon noticing the cuts showcasing her creamy thighs.
"Very beautiful," I breathed out, gently holding her chin. Her cheeks reddened as I removed the [Mask of the Virtuoso] before gently rubbing my thumb over her glossy lips. Shaking my head with a chuckle, I quickly claimed her lips with my own. She moaned as I deepened the kiss. Our tongues wrestled for dominance. For a moment, I felt Esdeath's tongue push against my tongue which I stopped by giving her nipples a slight pinch. Using that opportunity, I grabbed her by her waist and pulled her against me.
She mewled as I pushed my tongue against hers, conquering it. Her hot breath grew labored and her hands started to grow bold, reaching for my hardening member. Pushing my leg towards her pussy, I heard her voice pitched for a sweet moment before moaning as she grinded herself against me.
Pulling myself away from her, I licked my lips before giving her a smug smile. "Not now, Esdeath. We will have plenty of time to show our…affections towards each other after this. After all, we cannot ruffle our clothing just before the party now, can we?" She gave me a pout before straightening herself, making sure to check for any wrinkles on her dress. Once she finished doing so, she immediately wrapped her arms around my arm, making sure to push her breasts towards me.
Smirking, I swept my hair to the side.
"The curtain rises, tonight I claim what is mine." Glancing towards Esdeath, I pulled her closer towards me, burying my arm around her tits even deeper. "So that I may claim another." I huskily breathed out while Esdeath gave me a seductive lick of her lips. "Do not keep me waiting, my lord. You know how long I've been waiting for this." I snorted, turning to face Esdeath, I gave her a quick peck on the lips before looking at her straight in the eyes as I put the mask back on. "And you know how long I've been waiting to ravage you."
In response, she purred in excitement.
Once we entered the ballroom, all attention settled in on us. The effects of [Mask of the Virtuoso] becoming immediate. It is not that surprising given how Esdeath, a beautiful woman has her arms wrapped around me, a noble whose identity is unknown thanks to the mask.
My eyes darted around, spotting familiar faces. Prim and Alicia are on the second floor and it seems that they are making their way towards me. Maia is sat on a table alongside Ruu-Ruu with the former looking dumbfounded and the latter looking while tearing into pieces of meat. Kaguya is accompanied by her fellow priestesses and is looking towards us with a raised brow.
'And finally…' I thought to myself, looking up the staircase. There, looking at me curiously with her bright green eyes is Celestine Lucullus, the Goddess Reborn. Long platinum blond hair reaching way past her hips, her sinful body exposed yet covered the most sensitive parts. I swore I felt my heart skip a beat upon setting my gaze upon her. Truly, a Goddess.
Standing beside her is Claudia Levantine. She is dressed for the occasion with a white strapless dress that hugs her figure. A rare sight is her hair, it's not dressed in her usual bun, instead it's free and let down. Not only is it long enough to reach her hips, but it also makes her look even more attractive.
'All the Shields are here and no-IS THAT A PIANO?!' My eyes widened, the beautiful white shine of the piano. From the way the dust has settled on the poor instrument, the keys haven't been touched, and the best part? It's right there for anyone to use. There is no one playing it up on the dais. The chair is free. As far as I know, there are no pianos in this world, which means this piece is, as of now, one of a kind or at least I think it is.
I felt my fingers twitch, should I forego my original plan of playing my [Oaksong Violin]? While I listened to many other instruments in the past, the piano is one of my favorites. But the question is, am I even allowed to? For all I know it could all just be for decoration.
So absorbed in my own thoughts, I didn't realize a certain pinkette had already made her way towards me.
"Abhainn!" Blinking, I lightly shook my head upon seeing Prim's excited smile alongside Alicia's mirthful one. The nobles around us started to mutter amongst themselves. That a Shield Princess talks to someone so casually. Holding my chest with my free hand, I gave her a bow with Esdeath following in suit. "I have arrived, Princess Prim, Princess Alicia." Prim pouted playfully but didn't say a word, knowing of how nobles would be.
"Am I allowed to take the stage? To play my piece?" I waved my hand to my side. Thanks to the small moment of silence, my voice was easily heard by the many nobles. And I swear I saw a few noble ladies gain a blush on their cheeks. The pink haired princess in turn just gave me a bright smile before turning towards Celestine. The High Elven Goddess Reborn blinked before giving us a faint smile alongside a wave of her hand.
"You may."
I straightened my back, a genuine smile spread across my lips. Esdeath unwrapped her arms around mine, allowing me to walk towards the piano. My steps echoed throughout the ballroom; I could hear some mutterings coming from the nobles.
"What does he intend to play? I do not see a single piece of instrument on him."
"Does he intend to sing? His voice sounded majestic!"
"Shush now, we must wait and see."
"Hmph!" With a dramatic wave of my hand, my cape billows in the air. I sat on the chair before closing my eyes. Inhaling, I opened my eyes. It may be because I'm wearing Jhin's mask, but I'm starting to feel euphoric. All the attention is on me, waiting for me to start the grand show with bated breath. 'I am wearing Jhin's mask…I might as well play his theme.' I thought faintly, a small smile forming from my lips.
And finally…
"Breathe in the atmosphere…" With those words, I slowly played the notes. Starting off slow, allowing the tension in the air to build. My fingers, guided by my class as a bard, started to slowly go faster. Nimble, precise, masterful. If one were to look at my fingers, it would seem as if they have a mind of their own with how they dance along the keys.
Celestine's POV
The nobles are dumbfounded, the beautiful melody coming from the piano being played by the masked noble. However, none are more shocked than Celestine herself. The way his fingers move, how fluid it is, no hesitation, full of confidence. It struck her.
'I thought he would play his flute, not the piano. And his movements…it's like he's been playing for years!' The music, the way his figure sat straight, each note played by him sounds like the most beautiful thing her ears have heard. So elegant, it's as if he is pouring his passion and his very soul in playing each note.
He took a short pause…before playing the heavy notes, it feels as if he is telling a story. A suspenseful story with him as the narrator. Stretching the tension and suspense for as long as possible before releasing it. Yet despite the heavy tone of the story, he is allowing the light to pass through, as if to show everyone that there is light in darkness.
The melody repeats for a few moments until the masked noble suddenly lifts his head, his silver white hair dancing in the air for a brief moment. Such a quick move would surely have someone lose their focus, and yet he didn't. His fingers danced like they were real people. They are not slowing down, not stopping for even a single second.
The entire room was silent, only the piano sings, everyone listened to the melodious music being played. To others, it felt like they were listening to life itself, others felt a shiver run down their spines, others could only do nothing but watch the performance.
Suspenseful, full of tension, that is what he is playing. With a sudden shift, all of it is released. No one dared to utter a word, only listening for that is what they can only do. In moments like these, silence is golden.
Hearing him exhale, she watched as his fingers slowed. Only playing one note at a time, this remained for a few seconds, then he played two notes, then three, then five.
It is slow with a few long notes, yet it is just as harmonious. He continued to play, it was so slow yet so elegant, only a few notes yet so engaging, and most importantly it is so…
"Passionate." She breathed out, feeling something deep inside her chest swell. A lump formed from her throat before swallowing. 'I have tried. I have tried so many times to learn. Yet someone younger than I, someone who has possibly only learned of its existence just now has mastered it. I want to do the same. I want to learn. I want…' A flash of an old memory came upon her. One of simpler times between two friends, learning, singing, laughing. A memory when she and her dear friend would sit under the shade of the tree. A long and distant memory between friends.
Her lips visibly quivered yet none noticed.
'I want it to be like the old times…even if it's just for a moment…'
DUN!
She jumped slightly as a heavy sound reverberated throughout the room, snapping the many nobles out of their trance. The masked face of the noble glanced around the crowd before resuming. But if her ears didn't lie to her, she heard him let out an amused huff.
Then, once again, possibly for the last time for this song, his fingers danced. A beautiful harmonious melody sang. It is quick, elegant, yet this time, it carries a gentle tone. She felt relaxed.
For a moment, she watched as his fingers paused before suddenly pressing the notes faster than before. But like the last, she felt it hit the same yet it didn't at the same time. She cannot express it properly, but the way his fingers pressed the notes, how fast and how gently he did so, it made her feel…nostalgic. As if watching an old friend.
And it ended at last. Looking up towards her, he stood up, spread his arms, and with a twist, he put his one arm behind him while the other remained in the air, and finally, he did a bow. A rather dramatic bow, but one that certainly earned the approval of many likeminded nobles. Immediately, the nobles applauded him, showing their appreciation by way of claps and praise.
He glanced around him after standing straight. His gaze locked on Kaguya for a few seconds before nodding to himself. With a wave of his hand, particles of light formed and what appeared was a guitar-like instrument with three strings, on his other hand is something made of wood with a handle, a pick.
While the use of magic to store items is a common concept, Celestine, being the most attuned to the flow of magic thanks to her High Elf lineage, didn't feel him use magic. Shaking her head, she looked towards Kaguya and raised a brow upon noticing that not only her, but her fellow priestesses have wide eyes.
Inhaling, he raised his hand.
"This is dedicated to Lady Kagu-" He stops before shaking his head. "This is for Kaguya-sama. My thanks for everything that she has taught me." After saying his words, he beats the pick against the strings. The nobles mutter amongst themselves upon receiving the possible declaration of his love for her.
Looking towards her fellow Shield Princess, a smile spread across her lips once she noticed Kaguya's stoic façade melt into a surprised expression with her cheeks burning bright red.
30 minutes later
After playing several more times, I have managed to escape to the balcony with the help of Esdeath. Exhaling heavily, I removed the [Mask of the Virtuoso] and set it to the side. I smiled upon feeling the cold air.
I might have only been inside for not even an hour, but it felt stuffy with the number of nobles inside there. It certainly is going to take some getting used to. Looking up to the moon, I closed my eyes. "She should be here any sec-"
"Abhainn?"
Ah, speak of the devil.
Dramatically turning, I hummed. Prim looked at me, curious but with a hint of desire as well. "Esdeath told me to me-mph!" I quickly closed the distance between us and passionately pressed my lips against hers. She moans, wrapping her arms around my neck, deepening our kiss. Further taking the initiative, I pushed her against the wall, causing her to giggle in between our liplock.
I felt my clothed hardening member push against her stomach. Lowering my hands on her hips, I grabbed her panties and pulled it down. The moment I did so, Prim's breath hitched in excitement. Her nipples started to protrude from her dress, rubbing against my clothed chest.
Pulling away from her needy lips, I growled into her ear before pulling at her dress. Her clothing slid down as if it was wax and slipped from her body. Her tits, free from its confines, bounced seductively in front of me. Cupping it, I latched onto it, whirling my tongue around the pink nub.
"Ah~!" Her moans are like music to my ears. Her arms wrap around my head, I can feel her body shivering from the pleasure. "More!" I obliged. Grabbing her other tit, I inserted the other nipple inside my mouth, stimulating both with my tongue at the same time.
"Hauuh!" Feeling anxious I grabbed the sides of my pants and quickly lowered it, freeing my dick from its cotton cage. Rubbing my dick against her pussy, I heard her gasp before giggling lewdly. Releasing her nipples from my mouth, I looked at Prim straight in the eyes. Her eyes are full of desire, full of lust.
"Put it in me, ravage me. Make me yours~!" Spreading her pussy lips, she looks at my throbbing penis with desire. "Claim me!" Grunting, I lined up my penis against her wet slit. Feeling it touch against her almost made me slam into her in one go.
But no, that will not do.
This is her first time; I have to make it special.
Pushing my manhood slowly inside her, I groaned as I felt her insides wrap around my glans. "Mng!" I felt something touch against my member. Looking at Prim, I grinned at how absolutely euphoric Prim looks.
"Take my virginity! Put it deep inside me!" I chuckled as I leaned over to her ear. She pants as I hummed. "Any normal man would gladly take you up on your offer immediately, but I am not like them." I held back a laugh from Prim trying to rub her body against mine. "Tell me Prim, tell me the right words so that I may…indulge in your body. Tell me what you want."
Silence.
"Ma…make me your woman! Give me all your love deep inside me!" Her tongue stuck out as drool dripped from her lips.
Heh.
"Well said!" I immediately rammed myself deep inside her. She gasps, her face a mixture of pain and pleasure. I considered using [Sensual Touch] but decided against it. This is my first time, my first conquest, I have to savor it.
I grunted, feeling her insides wrap around my member tightly. Looking down, I mentally whistled watching the blood flow out of Prim's freshly penetrated pussy.
"Hehehe…we're finally one, Abhainn~!" The pinkette cooed with a lewd smile before grinding herself against me. I held back a groan from her effort. Looking at her I smirked as I pulled my member away for a sweet second before proceeding to pound her.
She moans sweetly into my ear, her wet pussy gushing out both her nectar and blood. "Damn! You naughty princess!" I grunted looking at Prim's smile filled with pleasure. Her moans coming from her sweet and formerly innocent voice makes me shiver in delight. Her wet slit clamps down on me tightly, making me grunt in approval.
On the balcony, only the wet slaps of flesh, Prim's moans, and my grunts can be heard.
Stopping for a moment, I grunted as I lifted her legs and thrust my hips vigorously. This caused her pussy to clamp on my throbbing member tighter as I felt my glans knock against the entrance of her womb.
"Mhaaa! Deep inside me…your penis and my womb are kissing! Hauuu! Give me more, do it harder!" She moans as she tries to move her hips. I felt something build up deep inside me. The familiar need to cum, to release my seed. Gritting my teeth, I pounded Prim's delicate pussy faster. Her moans become incoherent.
"Do me harder, give me more of your rock-hard cock!" She smiled lasciviously, moving her hips for as much as she could. I felt her pussy stroke my twitching cock, tangling onto it as if it has a mind of its own, covering it with her juice from top to bottom. I groaned, feeling pleasure cover my entire dick, from the nook on the head, to the back and everywhere else.
Feeling my member twitch deep inside her, she quickly kisses my lips before looking at me deep in the eyes. "Mng! C-Cum inside me! Give me all your love deep inside me!" I felt her walls secrete a huge amount of her juice from the electrifying pleasure.
I pulled my hips and thrust again, pounding against the entrance of her womb and stirring up her wet honeypot.
"Mngha! It feels so good! My pussy is taking the shape of your cock, more! I want to feel only you!" I grinned. Thrusting faster, I felt my balls clench. Her pussy tightened in preparation, her sweet moans slowly got louder and her honeypot gushed out more of her juices.
"Cumming! I'm going to cum from my first time!" Gritting my teeth, I thrusted faster while holding on to my impending orgasm. "Good! Cum!" I growled. Every movement, every thrust I make, Prim's slit wouldn't stop leaking. It looked like a piss puddle.
Mixed with sweat from the both of us, I hugged her body closer, intent on driving her to the edge of lust. "Auhhh! Ahn! Cumming!" Her breathing was growing ragged and finally…
PSHHH!
Grabbing her by her chin, I silenced her loud moan with a deep kiss. Grunting, I felt her walls tighten until I burst. My seed flooded her pussy, coloring the deepest part of her womb white. She squeals as she wrapped her legs around me, her pussy wrapped around my cock and stroked it, milking it for what it's worth. It was dragging my cock in deep, making me groan as I thrusted for every rope of cum that I could release inside her.
"Urgh!" I thought I stopped cumming, but it felt like it was being sucked out. Groaning loudly, I had no choice but to keep thrusting and scraping her insides.
Thrusting back and forth deep inside her, I felt a pleasurable shiver as I felt my sensitive cock go in and out of her. Feeling an instinct to go hard on her, I pulled my hips back, ready to pound her pussy again.
And then I heard the clicking of heels.
"Esdeath? What are you doing here?"
And then, Prim's pussy tightened like a vice.
Holding back a groan, I quickly pulled my lips away from Prim's before trying to silence her with my hand. However, instead of covering her mouth, my fingers went inside. She moaned, licking my fingers, lathering them with her saliva before sucking on them. Her lewd slurping and the way her tongue wraps around my fingers sends an odd but pleasant shiver from my arm.
"Oh, Lady Alicia. It is nothing, I am merely…watching over my lord. He wants to be alone for now." With the way Prim is acting, it is very risky but…
"Feelsh good~?" I stopped momentarily, staring at Prim. She was looking at me, her eyes shining in submissive attention. Her innocent expression coupled with her innocent question just stirred something inside me, and it made my dick harder.
Leaning forward, I made sure to be as silent as I could possibly be. "Yeah, it feels good. Good girl, Prim." I grinded my dick against the opening of her cum-filled womb, stirring my baby batter inside. She moans softly, her walls clamping down harder on my sensitive cock.
"Oh, alright. With how many nobles surrounded him earlier, then I would be surprised if he wasn't exhausted. Ruu-Ruu was looking for him too. Something about making a song dedicated to her."
I heard Esdeath let out a low chuckle.
"I expect nothing more from my lord. His flairs for the dramatic and his music will be a huge gossip among nobles. I am pretty sure he was hoping to keep his identity a secret, but with how Lady Prim uttered out his name, then it will only be a matter of time before they figure out who he is."
Alicia just let out a snicker.
"You yourself are well known, Esdeath. You have been serving Abhainn's family for so long that people know where your loyalty lies."
"Touché, Princess."
Teasing Prim's womb for a few more seconds, I gritted my teeth as I felt impatience take over. Slowly pulling my hips away from her crotch, making sure to keep myself from groaning at how tight Prim's pussy is, I felt my seed spread inside her, further lubricating her insides.
Prim moaned softly, feeling my hard member slowly pull out of her pussy before suddenly being thrusted quickly deep inside her, pressing against her womb again. Her body shook in euphoric pleasure with each thrust, while I gritted my teeth. The lubricant made up of her sticky juices, my cum, and some of her blood somehow made this feel even more pleasurable.
The soft clapping from our fucking is quite loud, but based on the fact that Alicia is still talking to Esdeath, then I'd say we're safe.
Feeling bold, I held onto Prim's soft body, my cock pushed against her womb. She mewls as I slowly pull out my cock, wet and stained with both our sexual fluids. Then, I thrusted. Her eyes widened as my thrusts were quick and short. Pulling out for only an inch or two before thrusting back in.
Prim's muffled her moans by slurping on my fingers. Biting my lips, I felt a desperate need build up inside me. My sensitive member twitched, sending signals in my brain. I felt my balls clench, ready to release a second wave of my seed. Prim's pussy seemed to get the message as it tightened down on my member. Her moans slowly got louder but not loud enough to catch Alicia's attention.
I can feel my cum inside Prim drip out of her with each thrust. With the way her fleshy walls cling to my cock, I felt satisfaction course through my body. Her body wants more of my cum deep inside her, to be filled.
I can only oblige as I felt my balls churn, thrusting deeply one last time, I felt my seed leave my cock. Prim closed her eyes as she held her moan from her orgasm. Her back arched slightly as I pumped cum after cum inside her filled womb.
"Mrk!"
My pelvis stopped as I let out a huge satisfying load while barely stopping a groan from leaving my lips. Glaring at Prim, through her tired and satisfied expression she was sporting an innocent look, her eyes shone with mischief.
The way she nibbled on my fingers at the last moment, it's a sign that she likes the risk; she is a bona fide exhibitionist and she loves the thrill of being found out.
"Did you hear that?"
"Just the wind, Princess. By the way, where is Princess Prim?"
"Ah! I forgot! Thank you for reminding me, Esdeath!" With that, I heard Alicia leave. Panting, I tried to pull away. But with Prim's wet hole being tight, it gave me a bit of a hard time from completely pulling myself out of her. With a wet pop and a squeal from Prim, I watched as my cum slowly oozed out of her pussy, dripping down the floor and forming a puddle.
Prim giggled, enjoying the afterglow from our first time.
Click!
Glancing to my side, Esdeath joined us. Her cheeks are hot red and her breathing is heavy. Her glossy lips trembled before she sauntered slowly over. With each step a piece of her fabric dropped to the floor until there was nothing but her garter belt snuggling tightly against her juicy thighs. Closing the distance between us and smashing her lips against mine. One of her hands caressed my balls, gently squeezing and weighing it.
"Ufufu~!" I felt a shiver run down my back as Esdeath gave me a sultry smile. Her eyes shined with lust and the way she pressed her tits against me made my dick harder. The way her pouty lips spread into a sexy smile just hits different from Prim's.
Leaning close to my ear, Esdeath whispered.
"Does the beast have more in him?"
Oh dear, I hope my endurance is enough here.
And cut!
