27. Act II-Ch VII: High Classa Society

[ - Author's Note - ]

Welcome back to the new chapter! Nice to have you!

The fic has surged past two hundred and eleven thousand views on FFDotNet. I think it's growing nicely, given that the Kuroinu section isn't the most trafficked, at least I wouldn't think so. On that note the current poll is going great; with eighty eight votes already. Normally when I end the polls they don't have that many numbers, and I like to leave them up for at least two chapters. That's amazing!

For this chapter I may have added a bit more lore and world building then needed; let me know if you think it should have been toned down a notch or two.

Also I will give a fair warning this will be a more BDSM themed chapter with some femdom (Not towards James; I know that's a complaint that's been made before) and it's not everyone's cup of tea. I want to add a few less vanilla kinks here and there to mix and spice things up a tad. I understand if it's not your thing, just saying ahead of time what to expect.

Although if it helps, Makoto will be involved. You'll see.

So without further ado, let's get on with it.

[ - Act II - Chapter VII: High Classa Society - ]

After a long ride we found lodgings in a large town near the Greenwave/Classa border called Sagefield. By the sounds of some of the gossip the town had been growing in the past generation, possibly about to become a city within the next decade or so. A nice inn, the Rosemary's Rest, would play home to us for the night. After supper was served (Roast beef sandwiches, tomato soup, a small salad and iced tea) and finished off I asked Riri to come to my room stating that I needed to talk with her.

I stressed talk as I found that aside from Aeris and Makoto all of them were eager to fuck when bored. And I had a feeling that would change at one point or another.

More XP for me..?

Regardless of that once in the room, a nice and cozy one with the boards of the walls stained a light color and the floors a much darker one, I sat on the chair and gestured for her to sit on the bed. Once cozy I began by asking a question. "How much do you know about Classa?"

"Umm..." She let off, crossing her arms as she thought. "Not much really. We don't have too many dealings with them in Mungale, and the ruling lords are House Highreign, I know that much." I nodded softly before speaking again.

"Okay then. Listen... I know you're a tough girl, but given your... history I felt it was best to tell you about this before we arrived." I began gently as she squirmed, a concerned look coming to her face.

"I... I can handle being in a slave state if you're with me... But Classa isn't a slave state, isn't it?"

"No, it's considered a limited state... But unlike other limited states it's not because it allows for the transport of slaves, or the slavery of dark elves... It's... Ummm..." I sighed as I searched for the words. "It's more that it's not a limited state but not an abolitionist state... but it's not a slave state either because... Well, they have sex slavery... As a profession."

"...I... Excuse me!? Fucking excuse me!?" Riri let off, gawking at me as I sighed. That was... A better reaction then I expected.

For the most part there's nothing too unusual about most of the territories of Eostia. There are different flavors, such as the more eastern styling of the designs Thorn's immigrants prefer, the Celtic type patterns the halflings have taken a liking, Geofu's classical designs to and so on. For the most part regardless of the local looks, foods, designs and cultures there are things you expect

And of course there are expected things based on what kind of state it is. You expect Slave States to have Slave Auctions and make dealings with various hunters of questionable repute. You'd expect specialized resting stations in Limited States for those transporting slaves. And you expect some people in the Free States to have some means to hide, protect and help escaped and freed slaves.

No matter the state you expect a ruling lord from a long line of lords who is able to lead their people in war and peace. You expect him to have people around him as advisors to assist in the rule. You expect the people to go about their daily business, dressed for the weather (Or not, if you're in chains) and mingle and gossip

Then you have the... odder states of Eostia. And among the oddest is the County of Classa.

The southern most territory of Ur and making up it's south east Classa has had an... Odd relationship with slavery, to say the least. This tale began in 969 AF with House Umbral who had maintained Classa as a Slave State since even before the Aegis Accords were signed but then Count Arnus Umbral coveted his brother Hector's slaves a tad too much and made a move to... inherit them. By ending his brother with a poison. He would fail and the two brothers would end up in open war, resulting in the Classa Civil War.

Yes, a state of Eostia can indeed get stuck in it's own civil war and as long as all of the warring lords are local to that state no one else, even the crown, can interfere. This would be the first civil war in a state of Eostia and after it was resolved High Queen Serena Rodimus called an emergency meeting of the Council of Lords to first amend the Aegis Accords to account for this and second set rules for such conflicts in the future and to try and find ways to avoid it.

This was because the end result was the death of House Umbral to the last. Hells, Hector Umbral made it a point to kill anyone he didn't directly sire that had a drop of Umbral blood in them and he (Unfortunately) did a very good job of it. This led to the third point of the emergency meeting; appointing a new ruling house to Classa. High Queen Serena drafted a short list of possible houses to appoint and the Council of Lords choose House Highreign. This decision was spearheaded by the Slave State Lords to ensure that Classa remained a slave state; after all Dominic Hans Highreign and his wife Patricia Rose Highreign were well known for enjoying slavery and training their slaves hands on. Indeed, many admired the house as the peak of taming slaves in the realm. In addition there was a slow shift towards the abolition of slavery since Eostia's founding and these lords wanted to stem the tide and not allow another piece of the realm to turn to abolishment.

House Highreign officially took over the County of Classa on November 5th, 969 AF.

Once he was officially the new Count of Classa, Dominic signed the Binding of Dominants and Slaves Mandate Act, a law that overhauled what slavery was in the County of Classa, on December 1st of that same year.

And all of the Lords of the Slave States of Eostia was forced to watch on as their pick to maintain slavery in Classa managed to both backfire and succeed in equal and spectacular measures in a way no one could see coming on a scale no one could imagine. Indeed, I can imagine only High Queen Selena saw it coming.

Slavery for hard labor was outlawed. Transport of slaves and their sale was outlawed. The capture of slaves in Classa was outlawed, even of escaped slaves (Punishable by death. If you were lucky you were just beheaded, if not you were burned at the stake). Only house and sex slaves were left as being legal... However the BDSM Act even changed the terms of what sort of slave could be kept in Classa; unwilling slaves were now illegal.

Yes, to be a slave in Classa you had to enter into a willing contract with someone. And this form of slavery required the slave be paid, have days off, be given a minimum level of medical care, the right to quit their slavery, a right to not be abused, leave for pregnancy...

In short they were like maids that you could have sex with... Or in more blunt terms, in Classa slavery had just become a paid profession.

As it turned out in the past the Highreigns only ever took willing slaves and trained them to submit to them. 'There is no greater joy for someone then to have another person give themselves mind, body and soul to you of their own accord', Count Dominic would say.

In fact their slaves were willing and happy to be of service. Despite being asked to perform duties in the nude, despite being used for sex by the Highreigns and their guests, despite being spanked, flogged and more in public they would not only remain under the Count's service they were happy to do so. Each one had the option to leave their slavery at anytime and only three did; one to retirement and two who would marry other men. And for those two women the Count was the one giving the brides away.

Over the years this style of 'willing slavery' filtered down to the minor lords of Classa, then it's higher classes and then even in it's middle classes. The BDSM Act would be altered over the generations, but kept it's core principles until today. House Highreign would often host various parties to showcase how they treat and tame their slaves (Sometimes called 'Submissives' for those with poorer views of slavery) and would invite those outside Classa often to see.

While this unique type of slavery hasn't left Classa's borders it remains strong within and many journey to see it first hand. Classa's culture is a true oddity, but perhaps a good one for those willing to engage with it.

When we left Colt Ridge we moved back to the east towards the river then turned south. The waves of seemingly endless grass continued although soft hills would join them as we neared the border. Classa bore the highest number of rice fields in western Eostia and we saw more then a few of them along the roads near the river and various streams branching off from it. For the most part the Japanese-like easterners (And maybe Chinese and Korean, I didn't know to be honest) were gathered in Thorn but a few communities existed west of the Magistracy, with northern Classa hosting one of them and most of the local rice farmers comprised these peoples.

We rode into the capital of Classa in the morning, Cricketsong City. The city walls were quite large and were surrounded by a moat of water drawn from a stream that broke off from the river. There were towers set along the walls with ballista set into the top of them with the banner of House Highreign hanging off each one. Castle Classa was unusual compared to most castles; it was built on a small hill within the city walls and near it's rear as opposed to away from the city and it's walls.

Most of the castles in Eostia (As well as most nations across Sererus) were built outside of the walls of the cities they were close too; something that might seem odd to most people. Wouldn't it make more sense to give the castle further protection? Wouldn't it be better to focus all of the defense on the city walls rather then a separate castle and keep the castle as a fallback position? Have all the men focus on garrisoning the city walls and not just a castle away from it? The answer to this dates back before the Aegis Accords and Eostia's founding. Hell, it dates back before Verlangen's Brazen Empire.

The First Age of Conflict, from what I understood, lived up to it's name. In short everyone was at war with everyone else. That's not an understatement; a kingdom could end up surviving one war with another nation only to be dragged into another war with another nation. And dragged into another war once that one ended, if they were lucky. Exactly how or why there was so many wars, battles, skirmishes and utter destruction in this era is unknown; a few odd casus belli are known but the bulk were forgotten.

Part of the reason the First Age of Conflict ended was that as it started to come to it's end no one had anymore capacity for war. It was said that one of the nations of the era bore competent firearms but the ability to make them was lost because all of that's nations neighbors dog-piled them and burned everything to the ground before fighting over the remains. No information of how to build them remained, most examples of the firearms were destroyed and the people who made them were all dead. Modern firearms were an attempt to recreate them.

Yes, the First Age of Conflict was so horrible that it claimed knowledge itself as a victim.

What kingdoms and nations survived as the First Age of Conflict slowly gave way to the First Age of Magic came to the conclusion that war on that kind of scale was a very bad thing (No shit!) and that maybe they should agree to a few rules for future warfare just in case a Second Age of Conflict erupted around them.

Spoiler alert; there's a reason it's called the 'First' Age of Conflict.

As such the Myghter Accords (Pronounced mite-ter and not mite-tee-er) were signed by those surviving nations that were left and almost all of Sererus signed them; even the few nations that mostly avoided the effects the First Age of Conflict caused. Among the rules listed (There's fewer then you'd think, but all were made quite clear) was that an opposing city shall not be laid siege to if there is a garrisoned castle or other garrisoned defensive structure nearby. The city cannot interfere with a siege set unto the defending structure or castle either. The city in question will not change hands or be raided, razed or harmed until the defending garrisoned structure is dealt with. If someone has a castle inside the city walls, well, that rule is tossed aside due to the circumstances.

Because of this most castles and such are built outside of the city walls to spare populations unneeded damage; even the worst of nobility understands that having no commoners means no one works the farms, mines the ores and so on and that they kinda needed them so almost everyone sticks to the Myghter Accords.

Almost.

While Emperor Verlangen deciding not to listen to some document signed before he was born is no surprise to anyone who knew of the man he wasn't the only one; The Empire of Dominious tends to ignore the Accords. At least until it's their cities on fire, then they decide to whine about it. This does lead to the main issue; no one can really enforce the Accords beyond everyone swearing on knight's honor (Or equivalent). Sure, you can try and invade a kingdom or nation to punish them for it, but there is so much that can go wrong with that. Not to mention that at the time of it's signing everyone was still recovering.

The generally accepted response to a breaking of the Myghter Accords was to cut off trade with that nation and keep a careful watch on their actions. This was the answer to Dominious for the most part. The other thing generally accepted is those who break the Myghter Accords are not protected by them either and thus if you wanted to be a warlord who wanted to raze populations to the ground and rape whoever survived and just so happened to light up Dominious cities like a bonfire, dragged their women away in tears and roast marshmallows on the remains... Well, people might not 'believe' the reports of such on their desks no matter how much the Emperor/Empress of Dominious cried about it.

In the case of Verlangen there was another consideration, that no one knew if they applied to someone who wasn't a ruler of a nation and that made it a gray area until he started forming his empire; after that the Accords did very much apply and his disregard for them caused more then a bit of friction. That was doubly so as he took the land that would become the Duchy of South Point, a good chunk of Classa, part of Delconna and Harcal from the Kingdom Balanar (Worth noting, at the time the then Rycall Empire laid claim to the eastern part of South Point, a claim rescinded once the civil war gave it rebirth as the Rycall Republic). However no one around the Brazen Empire could do anything about it at the time aside from cut trade off and they were happy to trade overseas or across the lake to make up for any shortfalls.

Regardless, this meant that the major castles and all Seven Fortresses of Eostia were set outside of their cities with said cities having their own walls and guards to deal with bandits, raiders and other issues that weren't a disciplined army. Castles like Castle Classa tended to predate the Myghter Accords but there are still some built like that; mostly on the Eostia/Dominious and Eostia/Garan borders.

Surprising to absolutely no one, like Empire of Dominious the Kingdom of Garan didn't much care for the Accords either and didn't care much for trade with other nations as well and didn't care to deal with humans at all. That made the opening generation of the conflict absolute hell until Garan was pushed back for the first time and more appropriate defenses could be built. Even then it took time to adapt to Garan's attacks and the power of the Black Citadel allowed them to drag the fighting out to the modern day.

Once we were close enough I looked up to the banners hanging off the defensive towers. It was the only banner I knew to come in two pieces; the top piece was a Chevron pointed downwards and the bottom part was a knight's shield with a V cut at the top; although the two pieces weren't made to interlock. White cords held the bottom part under the top part and was hard to see over the white washed walls. Both parts were a dark red outlined in dark blue and then outlined once more in black.

The top part in it's center held a brown collar with a brass plate at the front and brass filled holes along the back side of it. The bottom part was dominated by a short, black whip with a flog end to it with dark blue highlights in it. At the top corners and bottom point was a circular design I had never seen before; it was like a ying yang but with three parts in dark blue, each with a thick dark gold outline with a matching dot in the thickest part, the whole thing outlined in dark blue. The Highreign family emblem was one of the more curious in Eostia, to say the least. And very fitting given what I knew of Classa culture.

We were waved into the city walls after arriving and drove towards the Adventurer's Guild; once more the local guild would be hosting the Booster. Partnering with the Guild in regards to the Boosters was a great idea all in all. The Guild got Voxlux access en masse for quick information sharing between their branches and hosting the Boosters meant they were more of a town's center then before given the public address function. This would also inspire closer ties between the Guild and Seven Kingdoms and the assorted states.

In return for this I got a place to host the Boosters to benefit all of Eostia and a large, interconnected group who would also protect them; few people wanted to mess with the Guild if they could avoid it. Overall between raw numbers (At least I hoped the numbers reached what I wanted) and the Guild on top of that Eostia's communication network should be hard to bring down, at least in full.

Our convoy was forced to stop as a series of wagons passed the other direction and I took a moment to look outside of the window of the carriage... And I got to see a woman in mostly normal, middle class clothes (Well, normal for this world anyway) with a leash in her hand. Said leash was attached to the collar of another woman who wore a black bikini and boots and carried a box in her hands. Both were chatting in a friendly manner that ignored the fact one of the two was being led like a pet by the other and with no one minding. Hell, I could see another woman pause and chat with the pair, even patting the collared woman on the head.

I could hear Riri gawk next to me with a strangled gasp of disbelief. I took her hand in mine and squeezed softly; I could only imagine Riri's feelings of the situation. Sure, she said she could handle being in a slave state if I was with her but that's because she lived it, she knew it and she understood it. She was chewed up and spat out by it. She appreciated it more then anyone else I knew, it's horrors and it's effects on people both master and slave alike. She understood the cruelty of the masters at the top and how they'd punish their slaves for slights, real and imagined.

For most of her life that was her reality. But this?

This was like a whitewashed version of what she went through. It would have been like taking a black slave in pre-Civil War America to a new land where black people still worked the cotton fields but sang and whistled as they worked, called the white plantation owners 'master' happily and was reward with pets and treats as opposed to whips and boots, as if Song of the South was more of an accurate documentary then anything else.

It must have seemed like a bad, saccharine fever dream to Riri. And that pair wasn't the only master/mistress and slave pairing walking about. And there was every pairing you could imagine; men leading women or men, women leading men or women. Hell, I saw a man in lavish, merchant clothing walk by with three collared girls happily trotting behind him, all topless and wearing little more then shoes and thongs. No leash or the like, they just followed along with wide smiles and chatting like it was normal; at least until the man snapped his fingers. Chatting stopped, but they still smiled warmly.

Slave plus Willingness plus Happiness plus Kind Masters equals Does Not Compute for Riri, I would say.

I was wondering if bringing her here was a good idea...

That's not to say everyone was on some end of this sort of dom/sub relationship; I'd say less that one in ten had a slave of some sort following them about. While it didn't take too long to get there we soon arrived at the Cricketsong Adventurer's Guild. Once we stepped out of the carriage the first order of business was to talk to the person in charge of the branch.

There wasn't anything unusual about the buildings in Cricketsong; stone, brick and a few wooden ones. The guild building had one of those floors where the second had more footprint then the first with a few tables under the cover of the second floor for those wishing to sit outside. As I walked inside with Prim, Troya, Makoto, Riri and Aeris (Ur'Akara was hanging back to watch the wagons) we walked up to the counter. The place was bit different; the desk wasn't in the back of the room, but to it's side with a man behind the desk; Den Derrick according to observe.

"Ah, welcome, welcome. Mi'Lord Noxdecus, am I right? And Princess Prim herself, pleasure to have the royals come by our humble establishment!" He said with a grin; he was a tall, dark blue haired man with a wide grin, tight, blue vest (No shirt) and black leather pants. He had a swimmer type build with well defined muscles but not bulky at all. "Den Derrick is the name, welcome to Cricketsong! Ha, bet it's not like any other place you've been to before." He said as a loud, metallic bang sounded in the room behind him. He stiffened and turned to an open door behind him. "Oiy! Kardel! Are you okay back there?" He called out into the room.

"Yes Master!" A feminine voice came back. "It's just... Welch knocked over the shield rack!"

"Woof woof!" A bark came as Den sighed.

"Ahhh, damn mutt..." He said, looking back at me. "I always loved training the huntin' dogs... But a pain in the ass they are until they settle down..." He said as a woman walked out of the back room... Naked save thigh high, green stockings, matching fingerless gloves, black, short boots and a blue, leather collar. Her A-Cup breasts bounced gently as she walked over, purple hair cut in a short bob as she smiled at us with a wave. "Ah, Kardel, mind the desk for me, eh?" He said, petting the woman's head as she leaned into his head.

"Of course, Master!" She let off as he chuckled and walked out from behind the desk to join us before we went outside, myself a bit dazed by the casual display of... Whatever those two had going on. I was sure I wasn't the only one...

Once back outside we went as Makoto reached the wagon first, pulling a booster out. "So, that's it, huh?" Den said, chuckling. "I noticed some of my Voxlux chats have been clearing up a bit; you've been putting these up, huh?"

"Yeah. This will be the last one up in Ur." I told him as he nodded. "Right now we should have coverage over a lot of Feoh and Geofu as well."

"That much huh?" He let off, chuckling. "Right then. If you can help me up there I'll loan you a hand to install it." He said as I nodded as I moved to use Levitate. He grabbed my hands and with a grunt I took off and slowly lifted him up onto the roof of the guild. Carmen took the Booster and flew up to join us, followed by Prim. Once Den had his feet on the roof Carmen hovered over and the pair moved to hold it still as I moved to start securing it.

"Mind if I ask something?" Carmen said, looking to Den. "This whole... Willing sex slave thing... How does it work?" Den chuckled a bit as Carmen asked a question I wanted to ask as well.

"Ah, everyone wonders that, no worries. And it kinda depends." He said, smiling to us. "For the lordly and rich types they're replacements for maids and the like. However you're expected to condition them in a sexual manner, gently and gradually. Some people hire trainers to do it for them, others like to be hands on." My eyebrows raised at that; really?

"I'm surprised people sign up to it." I let off, setting a tarred screw in place and working it in.

"Eh, culture is different here I guess; most girls here like the idea of being shown off for their lords and the like. And sex is seen as just another duty." He said smiling to us. "Now for us lower, normal folk it's less like that and more like a marriage."

"So... That woman is your wife?" Prim asked, blinking.

"Nah... Not yet... Considering popping the question; juuuuuust don't tell her yet." He said, chuckling. "But yeah; you have to make an official contract with the County. The slave makes a vow that she is entering into this contract willingly, is not being blackmailed, coerced and so on. Same with the master. She can quit anytime she wants, of course, but I do what I can to make her happy. … Although she likes being spanked a bit too much for my tastes."

"Huh... I won't act like fully understand, but if it's willing I can't argue. It's just..." I said, biting my lip as I started the next screw. "My maid Riri was a slave. And not the Classa type." Den winced a bit as I spoke. "She hasn't said much yet but I think this place is acting like a weird mockery of what she went through."

"I can see that. Safe, sane and consensual is an unofficial rule here and in the Slave States it... isn't." He said with a sigh. "Well, I hope she understands this place isn't a mockery of what she's been through." I nodded, moving to the next screw.

"She's tough, it's just we all have our buttons." I replied, keeping with the work to secure it in place. He nodded in understanding.

"Well, in spite of it I hope you enjoy the culture here. Nothing like it elsewhere in the world!" Den chuckled out loud.

"Hmm?" Prim let off, hovering away from us for a moment as she looked down the street. "I think I see a local knight riding out to us."

"Well one of Ur's ruling family showed up out of the blue." Den said as he chuckled. "I imagine they want to know what you're here for and give you warm greetings." I nodded as I chuckled. Soon I finished securing it in place, gave it a bit of a shake to make sure it was locked in well and helped Den back to the ground as Prim and Carmen followed us back down as well.

[(⸜∕ ) Place Booster in Classa]

[Quest Complete: Boosting Ur]
[Gain 3000 XP]
[+1 to All Stats]

I was hoping for more XP, and maybe stat points to place as I wanted, but it wasn't a bad reward. Of course that was one of the seven smaller ones; the larger Need A Boost quest should give out more. At least I hoped so. Anyway, now that I was on the ground once more I took a look to Riri.

She shifted about in discomfort and fidgeted about, her hands gripping and ungripping the guards of the knives at her side. She was looking ahead but I could see her eyes dart to the side to constantly glance at something. Looking over I could see what it was. A mustached man in a well made suit talking with someone who was walking behind him. That person seemed to be a twelve year old girl with b-cup breasts, nude save thigh high boots, and holding a baby in her arms, bundled in a blanket. It wasn't until she turned slightly that I could see the red, short tail (Matching her hair) that I realized that she wasn't a preteen girl but rather a halfling... Like Riri.

It was a common mistake, if you didn't see the tail right away. I moved over to my maid and reached out, setting a hand on her shoulder. She flinched as she looked to me and gave me a genuine, if strained, smile. "Are you going to be okay?" I asked her as she nodded.

"Y-yeah, I think... I think so... It's just so... bizarre." She said, looking back to the halfling with a baby, her master reaching down to stroke the baby's face. "I... I don't know what to think of this... Compared to what I suffered through this seems like a strange, warped mirror of it. ... I don't begrudge these people of their choices, I'm glad they have the choice but it seems... I don't know..." She bit her lip and squirmed as I rubbed her shoulder. I could hear a knight on horseback approaching but ignored it for the time being. "...It's... An insult from the innocent... If... If that makes any sense... Or maybe rather then the innocent the ignorant?"

"I think I understand." I said, nodding once. I squeezed her shoulder once more. "If it gets too much, speak up. If anything I should apologize; I should have thought about this well before we got to Classa, before we left home even."

"Please, no." Riri said, turning to face me, gently dislodging my hand as she did. "I am... I am uncomfortable, yes, but I will not shy away from this... I will... I will not let my past dictate where I can go or what I can see..." She said taking in a deep calming breath. "I will... I will not let those who tormented me once hold sway over me. Master, from the highest peaks of this realm to it's shallowest valleys and beyond... Where you go I will follow, so long as you will it." I smiled back to her and gave her head a ruffle.

"Sometimes I wonder how I got such a strong girl as a maid, ya know that?"

"You saved me; that's how." I couldn't help but give a good chuckle at that.

A horse's snort got me to turn around as I saw a woman in full plate armor; the breastplate of which was shaped into the emblem of House Highreign. The whole armor, save the painted emblem on the chest, was a brilliant and bright red with gold colored trim, although you could see plain, steel chain mail between the gaps in the plates. Her horse was likewise armored in crimson, matching the black fur of the beast itself. She bore no helm, rather a gold circlet with a green spell stone in the middle, set in between two, red painted wings. A mana armor piece in place of a helmet, I imagined. A spear was slung on her back with a strap of leather holding to her and a short sword at her left hip with a whip behind it on a leather loop. A round shield hung off the side of her horse's flank; red on the front, gold around the edges and with three chevrons pointed up on the front of it.

The woman herself had her figure hidden by the armor so I couldn't say much on it. She dismounted onto her feet, looking over us as she gave a serious, stern look with her green eyes. She stood at around five-ten and had blonde hair that fell to her mid-back with two braids around her head like a crown. Her face was pretty and smooth, although somewhat marred by the straight line her mouth made; not smiling or frowning.

"Princess Prim of House Fiorire, welcome to Cricketsong City." She began while giving a quick, crisp salute. "I am Emera Everclear, Knight Commander of Lady Highreign. We welcome you to our County and off you rest and food at our home, where the Countess would wish to entertain you." She said before finally bowing deeply at the hips.

"Commander Everclear, well met." Prim said, smiling. "We are more then ready to go to Castle Classa and visit your Countess to discuss the matter of why we are here."

"These... Voxlux and their booster network, I presume." She let off, standing up fully as Prim looked surprised.

"I guess word is getting around, huh?" I let off as she looked to me as I looked at her.

Born and raised by Sulrick Everclear as a knight he stressed that women were meant to submit to men sexually but could, if they desired, dominate other women. It was what she was taught since she was young and has stuck to it, even as she rose up the ranks of Classa's forces. She has sired two daughters, despite not being married and does her best to raise them while dealing with her duties with help from her mother and aunt.

Interesting backstory...

"Indeed." She said, turning to me and and stamping a foot as she looked to me giving another salute. "James Noxdecus, yes? Rumors have begun to reach us of your great work. Countess Highreign would wish to hear of it, I am sure." She would move to stand before us at a rapt level of attention, looking us over before nodding. "If you would like, I shall take you there myself!"

"Master!" Kardel's voice came from inside of the guild. "Welch is trying to mount me again! Help!"

"Woof woof!" I heard as Den sighed.

"Well, I need to go and deal with this, so take care." He told us before moving back into the guild.

We rode down along the city and to the castle in the back of the town. The castle boasted double walls with the inner walls taller then the outer as you'd expect, both with towers lining them with heavier weapons. The center keep was built as a large, cylindrical structure with a second, smaller keep built onto it's top. Facing the city was a large statue with it's back to the upper keep; a brass one depicting a woman holding a shield and a whip.

Based on what I knew Classa, or rather what would become Classa, was in the middle of a lot of wars, battles and skirmishes in the First Age of Conflict and the castle had been damaged, repaired, partially collapsed, rebuilt, had the walls demolished, the walls rebuilt, destroyed again, rebuilt and reinforced, added second walls, had both broken then rebuilt and further reinforced and so on until joining Eostia.

The last time Castle Classa would be under siege, as I understood it, was some one hundred and fifty hundred years after Eostia's founding when Balanar attempted an invasion; Veralegan had taken South Point from Balanar and it was a point of friction between the Balanar and the Brazen Empire, a friction that was passed down to Eostia after the Seven Shiled Maidens took over. Joanna, after Eostia's founding, offered the rulers of the state the right to leave and rejoin Balanar if they wished (Keep in mind, as it's on the Great Sereran Lake South Point is a very important port for Eostia and it's only one on the eastern side of it so it was not an offer made lightly) and they refused, as well as the other states that were once a part of Balanar with all of them preferring to stay with Eostia. The King of Balanar and his line following would still cause a fuss and only refrained from war as they had just come out of another one not long before, giving Eostia time to establish itself and it's forces.

Eventually, however, then King Exulta decided to do something about it; with weapons, siege engines and knights. He launched a 'recovery' to see Balanar retake it's 'rightful' territories and 'replace' the 'traitorous lords' with 'true patriotic lords' and told Eostia that they had no right 'imposing an occupation of tyranny' on their lands and any 'oppressors' would be 'removed'... Or to put it in simpler terms; they just decided to invade, declare war and expected Eostia to just accept them doing so over the objections of everyone in those states, from the common citizen to the ruling lords.

Needless to say the Eostian answer was a loud and firm 'no'. The Balanar military focused it's might into two main forces; one hitting South Point and one pushing into Classa. Eostia by contrast split it's army into four parts one to harass the forces attacking Classa as they laid siege to Cricketsong City. Likewise one force did the same in South Point, harassing the force laying siege to Fort Branca on the Duchy's west. The other two armies would drive downwards from Delconna and Harcal, splitting their supply lines into pieces and even moving to lay siege to one of Balanar's major cities, Diasure City, forcing the army attacking Classa to turn about to break the siege but this force still under harassment from the other Eostian army.

By the time they got there the two Eostian armies had broken into Diasure Castle, manned the defenses and were now hastily repairing them to defend what they had taken. One army would hold the Diasure Castle as the other would join in on the harassment and the situation became so bad the force attacking South Point was ordered back. The result?

Second verse, same as the first. They were harassed the whole way back... However the other Eostian armies supporting the defence of Diasure Castle broke off to intercept the South Point force. Pincered between the three forces the second of the Balanar armies broke apart with near total losses; dead, deserted or captured. Once done the three armies returned and surrounded the remaining Balanar army.

Balanar, of course, was sending reinforcements... As was Eostia. Before both sets arrived the first Balanar army was destroyed like the second and Eostia had full control over Diasure City and would take the other defenses of the region, directly south of Classa... Which was the thinnest part of the Kingdom of Balanar, meaning a large chunk of territory that happened to include it's capital was cut off from the rest of it on land. By the sea (Or lake, rather) things weren't as bad; Eostia didn't have the naval forces needed to blockade the region but hired privateers harassed Balanar ships as they tried to restore supply chains and move forces. Balanar also wasn't a naval power so while this didn't stop them it did badly hinder them.

In the end Balanar accepted defeat and signed a treaty; included in it was that they could no longer claim South Point, Classa, Delconna or Harcal as their territory, in part or in full.

Politics being what it is, it hasn't stopped them from claiming them 'in spirit' or the like, but they've mostly kept to the treaty.

Mostly.

For the most part.

While it was the last time Castle Classa had come under siege it has a lot of other history in it as well; hosting more then one meeting between Camafran, Balanar, Rycall, Eostia and other powers in various combinations, hosting an exiled royal family from Camafran for a time...

Once we arrived we were waved inside the walls and towards the keep. Two guards in crimson armor, matching Emera's, stood outside of it's gate and upon seeing their commander they saluted and then opened the doors for us and allowed us to walk inside. A set of stairs in the first room led to the second floor, a large banner for House Highreign hanging over it. A rich, red carpet with gold trim led up to the stairs and up along it. Brass statues of women kneeling in front of other women stood on the edges of the room. Framing the stairs were another set of brass statues, but these were of men with women kneeling in front of them with their heads placed to give, ah, oral love, we shall say.

As for the people greeting us in the room...

Two women were on the second floor, walking to the stairs. At the same time there was two lines of five maids along the carpet on the first floor; standing at rapt attention with their hands behind their backs, facing inwards. I could hear Aeris openly gawk with a strangled gasp, some of the others giving likewise, if less expressive, outbursts... because the maids were functionally nude. They wore thigh high, black stockings with white ruffles at the top under white shoes, black gloves to the biceps with white ruffles at the top as well, a ruffled collar and the head dress, but all were nude.

Smiling, friendly looking and nude.

And one of the maids was a very feminine looking dude with an unerect cock hanging between his thighs. Yup, this was a thing.

The two women started to walk down the stairs, one following the other, behind and flanking. The first and elder of the two women had a very confident, commanding look to her face as she strode down towards us. She wore a set of gloves that were blue with white trim that spiraled up her arms. Her legs were clad in blue thigh high boots with a folded down top showing an blue tinted white lining with buckled belts at the thighs, under the knees and at the ankles, three inch heels on the bottoms. A gold choker was around her neck to which a cape hung off of; blue on the outside, an ash black inside with a layer of white feathers at the shoulders. Her torso was clad in a strapless, blue leotard with a cut out for the center of the breasts, a gold piece holding the top together over them. Lastly on her head was a gold tiara with blue jewel on the front. Hanging off her right hip was a plain looking black whip.

She stood some six feet tall (I'd imagine five-nine without the heels) and with a nice set of C-Cup breasts and fit build. Brown eyes show as she looked over us and brown hair cut neck length in a curtain around her head with bangs above each of her eyes. "Princess Prim Fiorire and James Noxdecus of Mungale... So, the rumors of you making the rounds with these magical devices are quite correct." She said before glancing to Miria. "And the little stray that caused such a conniption in the Council of Lords. My, my, that such a cutie would cause such a stir... Really, some of the lords forget a scepter is to be held in the hands, not sat on until it vanishes up their arse."

Latest of the line of Highreign Lords, Andromeda is known to be a confident woman with an aura of power that some say greatly exceed her real strength; be it physical, magical, political or otherwise. Regardless she is known to be firm yet gentle with those who serve and service her which has earned her undying loyalty from those who pledge themselves to her; cemented during one event where she personally saved two of her willing slaves from becoming very unwilling ones from Balanar slavers.

(-)

The second woman wore an all black outfit; her arms were clad in leather, detached sleeves with metal bands around the biceps and leather cuffs around the wrists with short spikes on them, likely blunted. A leather choker around the neck had two straps leading to the top of a leather leotard with a large cutout that went from under the breasts to just over the groin, and the sides cutout for fishnet panels, two belts between the breasts and navel likely helping keep the thing in place or something. Two buckles were on either side of the groin, likely for easy access... To use the bathroom; I can't imagine that thing comes off quick. And any benefits for sexual things is likely a bonus.

Two garter straps attached from the hip straps of the leotard down to thigh high, fishnet stockings that were under leather boots that reached just over the knees with three inch heels. Like the first woman she had a black whip at her right hip, although it had a purple spell stone at the butt of the handle.

The woman herself stood a little taller then the other woman, maybe at six two (Again, three inch heels so she was likely closer to five eleven without them), boasting C-Cup breasts as well and had brown hair that reached down around mid-neck length, curtaining around the left ear and tucked behind the right with her bangs parted over the right eye. A mole was under her right eye, slightly offset closer to the ear. She had a casual, easy smile that reached her brown eyes and walked with confidence, although not a confidence that matched the other woman. "Honestly, is the possible intelligence of a Catalan any different from a human; provided the right education? Really, some of the lords can be a bit too judgmental on these things."

Daughter of Andromeda Highreign and minor lord Jayden Oswald she is the heir of Classa and has learned under her mother's eye since she was a child. "Only the gentle are ever truly strong" is what her mother always told her. She was taught to treat her slaves with a gentle hand, but a firm one when needed for discipline. Likewise as Andromeda taught her how to rule it was with a gentle yet firm method. She is still learning on both accounts, but those serving under her think well of her.

(-)

Huh; were her parent's not married? Well, not my worry.

Eventually they reached the ground floor, walking towards us. Each time Andromeda passed her maids lining themselves on the carpet they would bow down deeply before moving to kneel, adjusting their backs to be straight, hands behind them the whole time. Finally the pair stood before us as the Countess pinched her cape on both sides, offering a curtsy as her daughter did the same; minus any flowing clothing to hold on to.

"Welcome to my home, Princess Prim, Lord James and assorted guests besides. I am Andromeda Highreign, Countess of Classa." She said smiling to us, hands on her hips as she stood before us. "And this is my daughter, Harriet." She said, gesturing to the younger woman behind her, who smiled and nodded. "You've come a long way to visit us and do your work, so let us retire to a more... proper location to speak and to let you refresh with food and drink; if it pleases you all."

"Indeed, it would. I could use a drink, truth be told." Prim replied as she curtsied back to the countess.

[-]

The sitting room chosen was a bit... odd. Normally there are one or more tables around which the people are seated and served food and drink; usually with one or two plates of snacks and treats people could pick from. Often the tables chosen are round; like the Round Table of English myth it has no head and, therefore, all seated were equals.

This seating room had four couches facing inwards with a 'C' shaped table in the center of them with a gap facing the the space between two of the couches. The maids serving us could move into the middle of the table to set things down, as needed. In addition each couch had an end table on each side of it that the tea cups were set on, each on a small plate, another plate with a few cookies and treats on it as well. The middle table bore more snacks both in the form of baked goods and fruits on plates or in bowls. The room had a lot of light coming in from the windows as well as walls painted a light, sky blue giving it a warm, relaxed feeling as I explained the Voxluxs to the Highreigns.

Like one would expect the maids hovered about to serve us, but their nudity was a distraction to everyone but the Highreigns; both of them sitting together on the couch in front of the window. Myself and Miria were seated in the couch across from them with Riri between us. Prim and Carmen sat on the one to my left while Makoto, Ur'Akara and Troya sat to the one on the right. Aeris had opted not to join us; being a bit more prudish then the rest of us she was allowed quarters for the time being.

Two maids made sure we had all the food and drink we needed, but another seven stood at attention to the side of the room, waiting in attention. I had a feeling Andromeda had a plan for them, although I wasn't sure what yet. Given what I could tell there were no intentions to deceive us or harm us so I just tried to relax as we spoke.

"I see, I was mostly right then. Yes, these devices are going to be useful." Andromeda mused, sipping her tea as she leaned back, legs crossed with the raised foot bouncing lightly. "Hmm... Yes, I think I'll commission another two to be placed in Classa; Allega and Swergal Cities would be wonderful to address so quickly and easily." That would be great for my booster system; Cricketsong was off-center to the right of Classa's mid-point, Allega (As I recalled) was on it's west near their border with Delconna and Swergal was by the river in the eastern point of the county; bordering Balanar to it's south and the Barony of Harcal across the river within Geofu. "Additionally I will have need to send for more of the Voxluxs. Balanar hasn't acted aggressive towards us for quite some time, but our relations with them is still rather sour so I would like our patrols to communicate when something goes amiss to our south."

I nodded and smiled to her. Aside from making money on it, which would be a significant side bonus, that would increase the overall amount of boosters around by another two. That would mean it would be even harder to bring down as well due to the numbers. "I imagine every state on the Garan and Balanar borders will want more then a few; as well as those near Dominious. I can vouch that it's helped curb banditry in Mungale by quite a bit so any... subsidized bandits will be easier to deal with as well."

"Yes, we have some of those. They seem to crawl up from the south." Harriet replied with a sigh, shaking her head softly. "Well, south and west time to time. And they find additional funds by selling our people as labor slaves. A term for the unwilling sort of slaves." She added thinking it was an unfamiliar term to her guests (She would be right in my case) so she made sure to explain it. "Really, if I ever got my hands on degenerates like that I'd give them a harsh whipping."

"Ooooooh!" One of the maids at the side of the room cooed off with clear interest.

"Not the fun kind, the kind that leaves you a bleeding, scarred mess. And followed with salt rubbed into the wound." Harriet clarified without looking over to the maid in question.

"Ooooooh..." The same maid let off with a wince.

What was with these people..?

"Well, consider us customers then. And now with that out of the way..." Andromeda let off with a grin as she reached up with one hand and snapped her fingers. The two maids attending us moved with smiles towards Prim and Carmen, to their (And mine, and likely everyone's confusion) before kneeling down. The maids from the side of the room moved from it and took a place before one of the other seated people in the room (With the feminine male maid moving before Andromeda, I noted) and kneeling down as well. "Consider this a little... Classa gift." She said as the maid before her pulled the seat of her leotard aside. The one before Harriet unbuckled her leotard and pulled the bottoms away as both Highreigns moved their groins closer to the edges of the seat as the maid's lowered their mouths. Despite their heads being in the way I could tell what the maids were doing, giving oral sex.

Openly. I gawked a bit at this before feeling two hands on my knees, looking down at the maid before me; a cute, pink haired, baby blue eyed, small breasted girl with her hair in long twin tails. She stroked my legs and looked up at me as if awaiting a command... Or more likely, permission. Harriet was the next to speak.

"It's common to offer guests the use of a maid's mouth in Classa, assuming you have one of course." The heir of the county said one of our hosts told us. "They will not do anything if you do not allow it, but they are excited to be of service."

"Indeed, M'Lord..." The pink haired maid (Rosewell Oxbell, according to Observe) told me, stroking my knees. "Please, allow me to offer you my service."

Only in this crazy, sexually charged world could this happen.

"Errr..." I heard Prim say as she looked down to her maid (A cute, green haired girl with C-Cup breasts and a ponytail) before looking to me as we shared a look. She was blushing (I had a strong feeling my face was a nice red tinge as well) before she spoke to Andromeda. "Umm, well... I would hate to refuse a gift, but are you sure this is fine?" She asked, looking down to the maid before her and back to me. I shrugged because, well, I was in a similar state that could be classified as 'WTF' and in no position to judge here. Not to mention I had no idea if Prim wanted me get sucked off while she was watching on while getting oral herself.

"There is something, mmmmm, about the enjoyment of pleasure in company that seems to amplify it a bit..." Andromeda let off, purring softly in pleasure as her maid licked her own. I looked about the room to gauge everyone's reactions.

Riri and Makoto were blushing and giving me glances as if seeking permission (Although Riri squirmed a bit more. I gave her hand a squeeze and she squeezed back, letting me know she was fine), while Miria was biting her lower lip, considering things for a moment before looking to me. Troya was giving Prim looks between glancing down at the maid at her legs. Carmen was the only one controlling her blush, glancing to Prim. It was pretty clear that the choice of what was to happen was split between myself and Prim.

I looked back to Prim as she looked back to me as we did the best to come to a consensus without speaking a word. No words were shared as we did our best to gauge and understand the other's feelings and wants and, oddly enough, I could see want in her eyes. I gave a slight turn of my head to her, silently passing her the lead in the situation. Part in trust of her, part curious to see what she'd do with the lead and part to see if she was interested in this situation.

Finally Prim took in a calming breath. "Well... It would be rude to refuse an offer made, when it is harmless." She said, still nervously before giving off a soft yelp as the maid started to work her panties off of her.

"Well said, well said." Andromeda said as I looked down to Rosewell and just gave her a nod getting a smile in return as she worked my pants open then down. Glancing around I could see one by one each of the gang gave a nod or some other communication of consent, even Makoto who I figured would be the most resistant somehow. I wasn't going to question it.

Troya, Makoto, Miria and myself had our bottoms pulled down while Prim, Riri and Ur'Akara had their panties stripped off. Carmen, meanwhile, just had her leotard pulled to the side as the maids gently adjusted our hips to better access our collective genitalia with their mouths. I never thought in my life (Past and current) that I'd be in a position like this. Really, only in a sexually charged world like this could such a thing be considered normal, if only in a limited area of said world.

Rosewell took out my cock and started to stroke it; despite the sexuality of the situation I was only half hard. I imagine that the oddity of the situation wasn't helping, but once she set her lips to it and sucked it in the growth of my cock to fully hard was rapid and soon she was expertly bobbing up and down my length. I groaned out as she worked her tongue about my length, as if tasting or cleaning each bit of the dick in her mouth. She groaned around me before using that muscle in her mouth to press up onto my cock; not with the whole thing but with the tip, setting pressure onto a small spot. She looked me in the eye as she worked, seemingly happy and enjoying herself as she sucked me off.

I took a glance around at everyone. Riri, right beside me, head her head tilted back and panting softly as she was licked and had her pussy suckled upon. She seemed relaxed as she moaned. She saw my look and gave me a smile; I was still worried about her given the odd situation and her past but if she wasn't going to raise a fuss then I wouldn't. Miria squirmed a bit and had her feet up on the couch and was petting the maid's head softly, mewling out herself as she took the cunnilingus.

Prim, by contrast was looking at me with a rather lustful look on her face and smiled as I glanced over to her. I wasn't fully sure what she was thinking but I imagined that she was just enjoying watching me enjoying the pleasure; the green haired maid just helped her enjoy herself further, mouth planted on pussy. Carmen, shivered and blushed as she looked at the maid between her legs, panting harder as she too received oral.

Over at the other couch Troya was... Umm... Pulling the head of the maid firmly into her groin and moaning openly; the loudest of us all, in truth. Yeesh, I didn't even pop her cherry that long ago... Ur'Akara was likewise a bit aggressive with her maid, feet on the couch, one hand on the maid's head pulling her in and one on the couch to brace herself, humping the maid's face firmly. She moaned (Well, more like mewled) in pleasure as she worked herself into the maid. Makoto, by contrast, held her knees close to her shoulders with her hands and allowed the maid to do as she pleased, although the maid seemed to be more aggressive then her counterparts with her lips.

Andromeda leaned an elbow on her armrest, moaning softly without any hint of a blush, legs parted wide, allowing the servant to work her pussy with his mouth. She was also looking about the room and when our eyes met she gave off a small smirk. She did nothing to urge the male maid between her legs onward but from what I could see he was very eager to pleasure his countess. Harriet was likewise moaning softly, although with the hint of a blush on her face. I could see her maid with her arm thrusting, likewise fingering the heir's pussy as well.

It was sort of surreal in a way. I groaned deeper as Rosewell poked at the tip of her tongue at the slit of my cock, making me pant as I stroked her hair softly, groaning before she pushed down my cock to the base all at once, making me gasp in surprise; I didn't expect that! She moaned around me causing me to shiver.

Troya cried out loudly as she shivered, first to cum with Prim hot on her heels, the two women's voiced mixing into a delightful melody of pleasure. Makoto held out a little while longer but her voice joined in, followed by Carmen then Ur'Akara's. Miria's voice joined the chorus right after and I found myself unable to hold out; I groaned deep and loud as my cock pumped cum up into the maid's mouth as she pulled back to taste it on her tongue.

Harriet was the next to cum, loudly joining the song of orgasm around the room. Andromeda was the last, hissing out as she shivered in pleasure; the only one to fully contain her voice and moans.

"Ahhh... I... do hope you enjoyed your first real taste of Classa Culture." Andromeda let off as she giggled.

Andromeda then had us escorted to individual quarters with each maid assigned to give us oral before acting as our guides. I ended up with her in bed for about an hour before leaving to explore. I ended up in a war room of sorts for awhile; the door was open and a diorama of Classa was laid out on a large table, complete with small (Although not fully accurate) cities and towns on it. The borders were drawn on the land and it extended to show Delconna to the west, a bit of Harcal to the east and, most notably, Balanar to the south and east to the coast of the Great Sereran Lake.

Small flags were set up on the table with Classa banners on them; local defensive forces if I had to guess; local defensive structures were also represented on the map. Likewise the same was said with the Balanar forces, with well defined flags despite the size of them. While Eostia loved it's shield banners in place of flags (And slapped those banners on flags when needed) most of the other nations preferred flags straight up.

The Balanar flag was a forest green with wide, dark blue stripes on the left and right of it. In the middle was a yellow circle dominating the middle of the flag with a dark red ring around it, with a second ring of the same color within the first ring. In the middle was a dark red depiction of a bear's head with green eyes looking to the right of the flag. If I recalled right it was the national animal of the Kingdom; The Northern Blaze Bear.

It was clear that the Countess was worried of her neighbors to the south. Given what Balanar was like, I didn't blame her. I noted that there was also... more Classa flags near the Delconna border then the Harcal Border. Again, I didn't blame her.

I left the room and resumed my wanderings. I would find the library not long after and stepped in to look about. Sure enough there was a little section for spells that I decided to look through. After all, nothing wrong with learning a new spell! Sadly I didn't get too much out of it; but I did get a little.

First I picked up Frozen Weapon, an ice counterpart of Blazing Weapon. Not the best, but it maybe useful, it may not be, hard to say. More interesting to me was the second ice spell I found; Frost Stream. Take Flame Thrower. Make it ice based. You have Frost Stream; based on what I read it sounded like liquid nitrogen being blasted out of a hose in a direction. Given how useful I found Arctic Orb to be I was quite sure that this would be handy down the line.

If nothing else, maybe I could make snow cones with it?

Once I was done learning those I took some time to find a book on magical theory and read it a bit; it was mostly stuff I already knew, but it was a good refresher. Dinner came and was well made; the chef was another maid, although she got to wear an apron (Which oddly made her look sexier then the other maids, in a way) and a rather good one as she served up a large piece of roast beef, assorted sides and a dessert of ice cream (Of course). Aeris joined us and tried to ignore the maids as best she could. By contrast I could not ignore the pair that moved under the table. It wasn't until Andromeda let off a purr mid bite and Harriet squirmed for a moment with a soft blush that I realized where they went off to.

I wasn't that surprised.

What did surprise me is after a bit of entertainment in the form of a small band of the castle staff (And a rather good one, if I might say) we were allowed to retire to our rooms and... Well...

Nothing happened.

No one came to visit me in the night. No maid sent. The countess and her daughter didn't suddenly appear. Hell, not even Prim popped in.

It was odd, but I wasn't in the mood to argue; the first leg of my quest was done after all.

Next Morning, One Hour Before Sunrise
Top of the Central Keep of Castle Classa

Finally reaching the top of the keep of her castle the Countess Andromeda Highreign smiled warmly as she looked up to the skies. Light clouds but gathering slowly; a wonderful day to travel on the roads.

Well, that could be changed.

"This does seem a tad underhanded mother." Harriet said, walking behind her, both women's heels clicking on the stone; as did the maid's heels walking behind them with four goblets set on a tray she held, each lined with spell stones and with a spell orb pressed into the opening with a liquid sloshing inside of them. "I mean I know there's no malice about this, but..."

"Oh, stop fretting Harriet." Andromeda said, giggling softly. "When's the last time we had the chance to have a Royal of Ur experience our culture in such a fashion. Indeed, having the chance to make a day of it will teach them quite a bit, don't you think?" She said smiling before clasping her hands before her chest. "Indeed, this will delay them just by a day but it will not harm them in the least. And it will be fun to see their... leanings..." Before turning to the maid who walked up to her. One by one she would touch each device on the tray to activate them all; each one a Rain Caller.

And like in one battle waged in a Mungale forest the liquids in the orbs churned before turning themselves into clouds and spewing out aggressively into the air over the castle. An illusion spell she had prepared earlier meant that from outside of the keep none would see the rising clouds and to any paying attention the clouds already present simply grew and expanded. It wouldn't be the first time clouds collected mana and grew unexpectedly, although by such a degree was rarely heard of from such an uncommon event. As the clouds finished pouring out the countess smiled and looked upwards, watching the clouds spread to fully cover Cricketsong and spill out beyond to the fields and further out. Nearby farmers wouldn't complain about their crops being watered, but many would find the sudden downpour to disrupt their plans.

Which was, in part, was part of her plan.

[-]

When I woke up in the morning it was pissing rain outside. Like cats and dogs kind of rain. After a morning wash I took a moment to look outside for a bit and saw how much rain was coming down; with Telescopic vision I could see streams of water running along the street. Thankfully the city was in no threat of flooding; whatever drainage system had been set up was working wonders. However I came to the conclusion that getting back to the road today was not an option. Upon meeting Prim before breakfast she agreed with me.

"Yes, I agree. I would not want to expose either the horses nor our drivers to such a storm." She said, sighing deeply. "I fear we must impose on our hosts to put up with us for another night." She said before a blush came to her cheeks. "Although..."

"Although..." I promoted, tilting my head slightly.

"Forgive me. I had intended to... Spend some time with you last night but I was... sidetracked." She let off, squirming a bit as I blinked.

"Errr, sidetracked by what, exactly?"

Previous Night
Prim's Quarter's

"Now finding the G-Spot is a biiiit tricky, and it can vary a little in placement but it's always in the same area..." One of the maids let off, working two fingers into the sex of another maid, laying on the bed and panting in pleasure. Watching them at the foot of the bed was Prim flanked by Carmen and Troya, each watching with rapt attention while nude. "Of course you don't want to ignore the clitoris, sensitive, naughty nub that it is..."

[-]

"Girl talk..." She replied with a blush. "Just... girl talk..."

"Oh...kay." Given this world either it was very sexually laced girl talk... Or she was engaging in something else with the girls. Which it is would be a coin flip.

Soon after the whole gang gathered in the dining room for breakfast and I told everyone we were rained in and as long as our hostess permitted it we'd stay at least until the next day (She did) and we'd leave then. Breakfast was pleasant and hardy and Countess Andromeda said she'd catch up with us later; she claimed she had a few things keeping her busy as most nobles did.

Well, the good ones who gave a damn, anyway.

We were allowed to head off and do our own things; in my case going back to the library and reading up on magical theory. I had plans down the line and noted a few books I was reading to get copies; this information was illuminating. In between pages of the books I took from my Inventory a notebook I was taking notes in and a pen, writing down this and that before checking on a couple of my planned projects.

In addition I had other plans and ventures in mind, but some I'd have to wait until I was home to fully start them. No big deal, really.

I also took a moment to look over a list of traits I could buy. I needed to bolster some of my stats further to get Mage Knight, but I also kept an eye out for other useful ones. I took notes of a few of them, but for the moment I didn't have enough to spend willy-nilly. So I needed to be smart on what I bought with them. I didn't buy anything yet, but I had plans.

Lunch was a nice affair and afterwards Miria caught up with me and we exchanged what we were doing; learning the whip in her case. Yes, she was picking up a new skill in whip use. According to Emera she was picking it up pretty fast, all in all. I didn't think a whip was a great back up weapon, but a skill is a skill.

We were heading off to a sitting room when a voice called out to us. "Ah, the Noxdecus siblings, good, good." We turned about to see Andromeda walking over to us, Harriet following and flanking her with both smiling to us. She smiled to us and gave a wave before stopping before us. "I was hoping to speak with you two. I was arranging a... demonstration of the sexual training we tend to do in Classa in our playroom." She let off as I shared a look with Miria. She looked a bit puzzled, mirroring my own feelings so I looked back to the countess and gave a soft, tilted nod to encourage her to explain. "Bondage play my dears. Bondage play!"

"I... Excuse me?" Miria let off as I blinked. I sort of understood what she meant, but also wanted a better explanation.

"Learning to play a little with a bound slave. Well, submissive, in your case." Andromeda let off with a soft chuckle. "I imagine the two of you and our good Princess would be the ones learning how to play with the bound slave and, perhaps, your other companions can play the submissive. If they're unwilling we have more then a few maids who would stand in, but I find inexperienced dominants pairs best with inexperienced submissives; as long as someone is there to act as a guide."

"It is a little taste of how we enjoy our own culture; one we realize not everyone will enjoy." Harriet interjected, her hands moving to clasp her hands before her. "But we also think you'll find yourself enjoying it if you give it a chance."

"You... want us to bind our servants and have sex with them?" I let off, blinking.

"Crude, and there's more then just that, but in short yes." Harriet said as she nodded. What a world it is where this could be casually offered. I took a moment to think of the offer and knew one thing; I couldn't ask Riri. I'm sure she would do it if I asked, but I had no intention of allowing her to be bound or collared again. Which meant one of two things; I had to ask Carmen or Troya to play the part, and poach them from Prim or ask Makoto. This, of course, assumed that all parties involved agreed; safe bet was Aeris wouldn't do it. She was always a bit prudish and I don't think anything but marriage or making a massive statement would have her put out to anyone.

"Hmmm... I'll admit..." Miria let off, squirming next to me for a moment before speaking up. "I'm curious..." She said; I imagined Ur'Akara would agree if asked; my sister's maid seemed a bit more open about this kind of thing.

"Of course there is another offer on the table, depending on how curious and bold you're feeling." Andromeda said, smiling to us both. "As opposed to being guided on how to be a dominant you can... try the submissive role under us." She offered, smiling warmly. "Obviously, there's a level of trust needed for such a thing and if you feel that our relationship is too new and uncertain to willingly submit then none shall blame you."

I blinked at that offer as it was a bit out of left field. I didn't have a feeling either of the Highreigns was untrustworthy, and to be honest I wasn't opposed to the idea, at least not fully. Aurelia's... unique type of seduction wasn't unpleasant, and I was secure in myself enough to do it... but I wasn't sure if Miria was up to it and, in truth, I would prefer to be the one in control at the end of the day. I turned my head to look at Miria who was biting her lip softly, considering it more seriously then I thought she would before she gave a sideways tilt of the head to me. I looked back to Andromeda with my answer.

"I think we will pass on the second offer, and see about the first." I replied simply. She nodded once and smiled.

"As is your right. Well then, go speak with your underlings and if any will submit then there is nothing more to do." She said with a wide smile.

[-]

"Eh, she made that offer?" Riri let off as she blinked to me after I explained the offer that was accepted. I had found Riri on the way back to my quarters and asked if she could fetch Makoto so that both could speak with me in my room. Makoto was blushing as she sat on a chair, hands folded in her lap while Riri stood and sighed. "I know this is a strange culture, but still..."

"And you accepted them?" Makoto interjected. I nodded once before speaking up.

"Yes. Although I need to note something." I said, making sure to speak firmly. "I cannot in good faith ask Riri to partake, nor would I. I freed her from being chained, I will not chain her even if there's no chance of harm from it." Riri blushed for the first time since I explained the situation. "And while Andromeda offered use of her maids she suggested we ask our companions first. I thought I'd ask if you wanted to. And yes, I am asking, if you're not comfortable I will force nothing."

"While I admit that I am... not that experienced in the realm of the sexual..." Makoto began as she looked to me. "I am no virgin. In Mizutaku it is custom to allow a teacher to give a girl her first time at age thirteen. Although... It is the only time I have laid with a man so I fear I would not be the best choice."

"Huh, I wasn't aware of that." I let off. I guess I misjudged her, if only by a little. "Still, I won't push things."

"No, no. I am... I am nervous I shall admit, but I am willing... And also curious..." She said, nodding once. "Mizutaku has a history of bondage in sex, in truth, so I am not opposed to this. And... I would admit enough of an... attraction to go through with it." I smiled to her and bowed just a bit in her seat.

"Alright then. Thank you." I said before looking to Riri as I stood up. "As for you, I imagine that they wouldn't mind if you observed but, again, I won't once the issue."

"No, no. I... I want to see it." She said, squirming a bit. "...I want to see how different it is." I nodded, smiling to her as I moved to her, ruffling her hair softly.

"As long as your comfortable with it."

[-]

As it turned out the 'Playroom' that the Highreigns took us to was, more or less, a BDSM dungeon. I sort of expected it, to be frank, but what I didn't expect was how cozy it looked.

One wall was lined with chains made to bound people to them. Well built pillories of varying types around the room, some with a padded bench to lay people on. Chains with binds hanging from the ceiling and a wheel with binds to set people in and the ability to spin their position as you pleased. I could see that each bind and shackle had padding on the inside, clearly meant to keep the bound from chaffing or being harmed. A rack with flogs, phallic objects, what seemed like strap-ons and other odds and ends sat at one of the side walls; a shelf of tools for the trade of bondage and domination.

On the other side of the room was plush couches in red fabric, a small bar with various drinks set to it and glasses of all types. I could also see a stock of healing potions of various types to treat various injuries, including more then one disinfectant. On the other side next to the wall boasted a couple of small beds; no blankets on them but padded for comfort.

The walls were white washed and hanging spell orbs made the room well lit and a few Highreign banners hung along the walls. The floor was covered in a nice, plush carpet that was deep red in color. Really, the whole thing looked like a nice place to chill and watch a movie if it wasn't for, ya know, all of the bondage equipment in the room.

Makoto, Ur'Akara, Carmen and Troya were all wearing simple, white robes and I was well aware they were nude under them. Riri had come along with us as well, but in her usual maid outfit and standing away from the nervous girls by the beds. They weren't the only ones who changed; the rest of us were told to change as well... For better or for worse.

Prim wore a red, leather corset that cupped her breasts from underneath, but didn't cover them that much leaving the bulk of her breasts on display, nipples included. A matching, leather thong bottom with black cords tied at the sides of the hips. Thigh high, matching, three inch heeled boots with black belts at the top matched a pair of leather, bridal style gloves in the same color with belts at the biceps. She looked quite sexy, but her blushing and squirming made her look... less then commanding.

Miria, by contrast, wore a black leather outfit that was, uhh, a leotard type thing but with the front removed from it; a one inch wide strap going down from the neck to the belt that went between the breasts, another strap moving under the breasts horizontally and two moving up at angles over the breasts that went to the neck of the outfit. And yes, her breasts were open to the air as well. She also wore thigh high boots, but with only one inch heels and four, brass studs along the top. Her groin was covered by a strap with a small buckled under the belt, likely to undo it. It was backless, which was great for the sake of her tail.

And then there was my outfit. A set of black leather pants, somewhat tight in the groin and loose at the bottoms allowing them to slip over a set of matching leather boots. The belt around my hips boasted a series of metal, likely steel, studs along it's length in pairs. My torso was bare save an odd harness; black leather with steel studs in pairs running along the length and a thick ring in the center to hold them together. It reminded me of that harness He-Man wore, if I had to give a better description.

Emera was near Prim, Harriet by Miria and Andromeda before us all. A few maids hovered around as Andromeda explained some rules to us; when someone says stop you stop, when she, Harriet or Emera says stop you stop, take care to not hurt your partner, that if you are being hurt to speak up, limits are to be acknowledged and at times pushed but never broken. If I had to say anything it was like that one time some buddies took me to a gun range and the instructor was giving us a lecture on what not to do with a gun. I had to respect how serious she was taking this; I had no idea what a BDSM enthusiast would think of this (Or Classa as a whole, for that matter) but she seemed to understand the concept of Safe, Sane and Consensual and was willing to enforce those standards.

Once she was done she clapped her hands once as Harriet gently led Ur'Akara towards a pole near the middle of the room; about seven feet up it had a bar stretching two feet out in each direction with large rings hanging off of a foot and a half long chain; likely tie points. Ur'Akara's robe was removed and Harriet set to work. Emera led Carmen and Troya to a set of pillories off to one side of the room, getting them to undress and setting each one into them before waving Miria over. She took the time to make sure they were comfortable inside of their binds before calling Prim over to her own teacher as Makoto was beckoned over by Andromeda. We were set on the opposite side of the room of Emra, Troya, Carmen and Prim with Harriet, Miria and Ur'Akara between us.

Makoto's robe came off and I saw her nude for the first time; her body was as fit as I imagined it to be with a slightly more plush ass then I expected; it wasn't large by any means but I thought it would be a tighter looking sort. She had no defined six pack but her abs were flat and tight looking with muscles that could be seen along her limbs; defined but not overly so. Andromeda pulled Makoto's arms upwards and slipped them into shackles over her head, asking if she was comfortable as they were fitted to place. Makoto nodded and Andromeda finally waved me over as Makoto looked over her shoulder to me as I walked up from behind.

I could see her skin bore a few marks of well healed scars; likely from training or combat. Rather then marring her looks the rather faint marks were more charming in their imperfections. I could see a mole over left left ass cheek, tiny as if drawn on with a pen. I couldn't help but reach out and softly take her hips into my hands, hearing her gasp as I drew them up her body until I could cup her modest breasts softly. "How do you feel?"

"I'm fine." She let off, squirming a bit in my grasp.

"That's not what I meant." I replied right away before pinching her nipples softly between my thumbs and middle fingers making her shiver in my grasp. "How do you feel?" I repeated firmly as she blushed and bit her lip softly.

"I'm... I'm not fully sure..." She said, gasping softly as I kept tweaking her nubs softly. "...If I had to say... desired?"

"As well as wanting, I'd say." Andromeda said as she reached down, drawing a finger along Makoto somewhere as the swordswoman gasped. As the countess lifted her finger up to show it off I could see a line of fluid as she smiled to us. "Makoto... You are soaked..."

"...I... Yes, I suppose I cannot deny that." Makoto admitted, squirming a bit. "This is... Exciting, I suppose I can say. A bit frightening, but mostly exciting." She said as she moaned at my fingers as I pinched down firmer for a moment.

"Mmmmm, my my. You have more want in you then you let on, you naughty girl." Andromeda playfully teased as she looked to me and waved her hand in a soft shooing motion. I let go and stepped back as Makoto moaned in disappointment only to jump softly as the Countess snapped her fingers. One of her maids walked over with a flog in hand, passing it to her. "Now then... Let's see how you respond to this." She said moving behind Makoto.

Makoto gasped, head turning to watch her as she smiled. "The trick with the flog is about the force; you don't need that much of it." Andromeda explained. "Too many people start by swinging hard. It's not about force it's about the sting." She said smiling as she looked to be, making sure I was paying attention. "You want it to sting but not hurt. All you need is a flick of the wrist..." She said before flicking the flog at Makoto's ass. It smacked the right cheek and gave off a nice, loud clap sound as it impacted. Makoto yelped and jumped but said nothing, squirming a bit. Andromeda's arm tensed and Makoto tensed for an impact but there was a delay and as Makoto's body relaxed only then did the next impact come on her left cheek. "In addition if you can land each hit when they're not expecting or ready for it it has more of an... internal impact." She explained.

She would flick her wrist again and again, spanking Makoto with the flog. "You can strike anywhere, but the best places are the rump and thighs as they tend to have a bit more padding to them. The breasts are another option, depending on the girl." Andromeda further elaborated as smack after smack came and Makoto's responses were to yelp, squirm, blush and shiver... But not complain or beg to have it stopped. Finally Andromeda stopped and stepped back, flipping the flog in her hand and holding it out to me. "Now then, let's see how you do."

I gulped softly, taking the flog. I was fairly stiff with my cock snaking down a pant leg (And by her long glance downwards I knew Andromeda had noticed) as I moved behind Makoto. Rather then use the flog right away I flicked it at the air a few times, getting a feel for it's weight, motion and potential impact. Once ready I took aim on Makoto herself, looking back and, I think I blushing deeper. Once ready I gave a false start, seeing her tense up slightly then flicked the flog out for real, smacking her on the left ass cheek, flush with a crisp impact of the flog making her gasp out and shiver from the impact.

She said nothing but quivered a bit, her eyes seemingly asking for more. So more is what I gave her. I smacked her ass with the flog, making crisp smacks, one after another. Slowly I started to add a little more force, only to have her gasp more as the impacts struck her harder. She didn't complaint, rather between the hits she would push her rear end out a little further then before; as if tempting me with an easier target.

I gave her what she wanted.

I was, of course, careful to add some more force without overdoing it. I wanted to, more or less, give her a nice, playful spanking, and not a hard, painful beating. Thus far she wasn't complaining and seemed to be enjoying it quite a bit. Finally I stopped to see the effect I had on her. Makoto's ass was a nice, flush, pinkish color and near the center bordering on red. She shivered a bit and was panting softly... And I could see a trickle of liquid going down the inside of her thighs. A glance over showed me that Riri was watching intently, biting a lip and blushing but not seeming too distressed. That was a relief to me.

"Good, good..." Andromeda said, walking over to me to whisper. "Now, rub her ass with your hands... Soothe the hurts and raise her pleasures..."

I didn't need to be told twice as I stepped in while tossing the flog softly to a maid, cupping Makoto's ass with both hands before I started to rub that back end firmly getting a soft hiss followed a few seconds after by a moan as she pushed her backside into my hands. It was soft yet firm in my grasp as I took my time to enjoy the feel...

[-]

"Oh god, oh god, oh god!" Ur'Akara let off as she shuddered hard in pleasure. Her wrists were bound by padded shackles hanging from the bar in the pole. In addition her ankles were likewise bound in the same manner above her head, leaving her hanging and with legs spread wide, leaving her womanhood on full display and open to whatever ministrations her mistress and the countess' heir could come up with.

This had, at first, been light, stinging slaps around her sex with a horse crop, the flat end smacking about her labia to tease and arouse her. Once her stinging pussy was soaking wet from the slaps (Which didn't take long) Harriet had brought out an odd item; it resembled a double handed saw in profile with two raised handles with a long object between them although sized so one person could use both handles comfortably. In addition rather then a blade of metal with teeth the object bridging the handles was a long, smooth, wooden bar with a slight curve to it. And on the bottom of this bar was short horse hair; many, many horse hairs. She was well aware of what a horse hair brush looked like; they were great for cleaning and buffing shoes, leather seats and other such surfaces in Mungale Manor. They made for a very soft, very fine brush and wasn't aware of how a brush of horse hair (Or it's equivalent in a double handled saw form) would be used in sex.

She then got a first hand lesson in what it could do.

Harriet taught Miria how to move and rock the long brush and it was applied on her pussy to surprising effect. She was not aware until now that one could torture another person with pleasure until now. The fine, soft hairs teased everything. The outer lips, the inner lips, the entrance of her vagina, everything around her pussy and, of course, the clitoris. And it rubbed at her all at the same time on every single part of her pussy and the effect was driving her nuts. It was like a thousand tiny fingers rubbing and masturbating her most sensitive of places, teasing and pleasuring her, bringing her near the peaks of heaven... But there was one notable problem for her...

"Oh gods-gods-gods, let-me-cum-let-me-cum-let-me-cum-let-me-cum-please-please-please-let-me-cum-I-need-to-cum!"

It wasn't enough!

"He he he, you can really go at it with this brush, but the stimulation won't be enough to send her over the edge." Harriet explained, smiling as Miria looked down wide-eyed at the effects she was having on her maid; Ur'Akara was crossed eyed and panting hard, tongue hanging out as she shuddered in her binds. Everything that Miria was doing drove her near the edge of release, but not past it! "I wouldn't do this too often, but if you want to turn a girl into a begging slut this is the best way to do it. ... Just, umm, don't call them bad names unless you have an understanding first; you risk hurt feelings that way."

Miria nodded idly, surprised at the sort of... Control she could have over someone like this. It was both empowering and frightening in equal measures.

[-]

"Holy shit, holy shit, I'm cumming! I'm cumming again! Fuck!"

"So am I, oh Goddess, oh Goddess, it's so good! Too much, but so good!"

Prim gawked a bit as she saw the darker ass of Carmen and the fuller ass of Troya rock about. Bent over and held in pillories the two women cried in pleasure and delight caused by what was set into them.

A unique type of spell orb was used in this case, although 'orb' was not the best term to apply. The objects were shaped in a phallic form; long and cylindrical with a slightly larger end. However the other end boasted a small curve to it that pointed it inwards. Attached to it was a rubber tube; small and just a few inches inches long. One had been buried into each of their pussies, driven in deeply until the end of the rubber tube could be pressed to the clit on the girls which seemed to grip them oddly firmly. A small, silver disk bore a small, red spell stone on it was then given to Prim. It was a controller for the phallic toys and caused them to do two things.

The first was to vibrate the toys inside the girls. Both were doing so vigorously and nearly violently within the women causing a new kind of pleasure for both. In spite of this they wouldn't fall out; indeed it was programmed to be able to move in and out of the holes they were in; half fucking the girls as well.

The second was the tubes attached to both girls clits; both were applying a suction force to keep the clits further gripped inside the tube and pull them erect but also vibrated the clit directly at the same time. That placed a large amount of direct stimulus on the single most sensitive point on a girl's body, her weakest point.

Both girls had cum at least three times as Prim held the control disk, turning the intensity higher then lower then higher again. "There is nothing like the cry of two people in the throes of bliss, trapped and unable to fight the pleasure, is there Your Highness?" Emera said firmly yet softly as she watched the display before her, licking her lips. "Tell me, Princess, what do you think you'd prefer? To be the mistress and bind others, to pleasure them to a breaking point... Or to be the one bound, toyed and played with until you beg and plead for the one holding your collar to pleasure you more or beg off after your breaking point?"

"Yes." Emera blinked and looked at the blushing, pink haired girl with a goofy, wide eyed grin and a line of drool leaking out of one corner of her lips.

That was... not the answer she was expecting.

[-]

"That's it... Don't let her cum yet, but do drive her crazy..." Andromeda cooed, clapping her hands softly. "That's it, that's it, let her moan, soak in her moans..."

I was standing behind Makoto with one of her legs held under the knee in my hand, to spread her legs a bit and give my other hand better access to her sex, allowing me to stroke her softly along her lower lips with my fingers, teasing them and rubbing just inside the lips. I ignored the clit (Although I was sure I brushed it by chance now and then) and only dipped my fingers deeper in briefly, teasing her and trying to drive her a bit wild as I kissed at her neck.

Given that she was thrusting her hips back into me (And pressing her ass nicely into my groin as she did so) and into my fingers in turn, moaning and panting before me as I toyed with her, her whole body shivering and trembling, I'd say she was enjoying it as well. Makoto had said nothing since Andromeda addressed how moist she was, her body and moaning do the talking for her. It was now that she finally broke the silence of words and spoke. "G-give it to me..." She let off, shivering and moaning once more.

"You want me to push my fingers in?" I asked, licking my lips, amazed at how she was melting in my grip.

"N-no..." She replied to my surprise. "I want... Your cock..." She let off, mewling softly. "I want... Your cock... please."

"My, my... Such an honest girl..." Andromeda let off a soft giggle to her words, moving in and pressing into my back with her breasts, one hand to my hip, other to my shoulder as she looked up to my face with a smirk. "Well... Let's reward her for such honesty, hmm? Let me help you here..." She said, her hands moving down to the front of my pants. The front of the pants I wore had a series of buttons in two lines that formed a flap. Andromeda undid said buttons and opened that flap in the front, causing my cock to flop out before standing right up and slapping Makoto's pussy from between her legs. I groaned softly as she moaned once more as I adjusted my hips. Andromeda used a hand to help adjust my dick to Makoto's sex and wedged it between her lower lips.

I didn't need the help to line up but it did make the process much quicker and smoother as I pressed my cock into Makoto and was quickly rewarded with a long, throaty moan from her. She rocked her hips back a bit awkwardly as I rocked mine in turn. It took a few moments but soon our movements were starting to match, moving into the other at the same time and pulling back as one as well.

"Ah, Gods..." She breathed out, moaning out as she moaned out. Andromeda was still pressed to my back and I could feel her pelvis as my back end pushed back into her; she rocked a bit to ensure she wouldn't disrupt my work and having another woman press into my back as I fucked one before me was an odd but very pleasant feeling. After a moment I withdrew to the surprise of both of the women as I turned Makoto to face me.

Grabbing her under the legs I lifted her up and adjusted my grip to hold her by the ass before moving to aim myself to her sex once more and once more Andromeda took hold of my cock and helped aim my fleshly, masculine sword to Makoto's velvet, feminine sheathe and pushed in; her head leaning back with another deep, throaty moan as I fully reentered her. Hanging by her arms from the ceiling and with her legs over my arms as I thrust into her she had little ability to thrust, retreat or move to or away from me. I was in complete control right now.

And we both knew it.

I rammed up into her using my arms to pull her down onto my cock, hearing her moans right in my face as her own, blushing visage was right before mine. Her arms flexed as she did what she could to add to the fucking, groaning out loudly, matching my own sounds of pleasure. She leaned in at the same time I did, lip meeting lip in a firm kiss, working myself into with my cock roughly as I got closer and closer to my edge.

Makoto was the first to reach hers, her sex clenching down hard as she broke the kiss to moan out loudly as I grit my teeth. Finally my cock quivered as my balls squeezed down, pushing cum upwards into her as I came, grunting from it as I shivered a bit and panted. We rode the pleasure for a long, long moment before I finally pulled out, letting her got and watching her legs drop. She recovered quickly and got her feet under her, shivering as her legs quaked as she stood panting. Andromeda pulled back and I heard something hit the floor before she moved between us. Makoto looked down and gasped before her face was cupped before one cheek was kissed by the other woman.

"My, my... Easterners like you are a treat... Seeing and hearing you cum... Mmmm, yes..." The Countess let off with a soft giggle. "Gods, something about you all... But enough of that..." She said, her cape moving to show it was lifting up before her cape just fell off of her and...

Yup, she was naked; her leotard was off. She held onto Makoto's shoulders as she shook her ass to me. "Now, do me a favor and give me some of that cock, hmm?" She said as I stepped in, grabbing her hips for a moment, rubbing softly before moving my dick to her slit; needing no further enticement from her. It was easy to push into her, burying it into her wet folds with little trouble as Andromeda... Didn't moan so much as purr in pleasure as I started to rock my hips. "Ohhh, yes... It is so big..."

Makoto gasped as she watched first hand as Andromeda took the cock she just had a moment ago as I rammed into the Countess roughly, panting softly as she mewled, turning her head and locking her lips to Makoto's. The swordswoman gasped out, squirming softly, but I could see her leaning into the kiss, moaning into Andromeda's mouth. I groaned into Andromeda's ear as I leaned over her, panting a bit harder as I slammed myself into her.

The two women kissed firmer and harder before the Countess broke the kiss, hissing out in pleasure as opposed to moaning as she came, her pussy trying to milk my cock and balls for their worth and their worth she got as my cock quivered then pushed a load of thick cream into her. Finally I slowly pulled out of her, groaning a bit as I sighed, looking to the two women as Andromeda looked over her shoulder to me and Makoto half hung, half stood and looked to me as well. "I imagine you ladies enjoyed that."

"Q-quite..." Makoto let off as Andromeda giggled before kissed her once more.

Once Makoto had a chance to recover Andromeda undid her binds, although my friend ended up staggering a bit. Deciding she needed a little more time to recover I picked her up bridal style (And doing my best to ignore her blush) and brought her to a couch. Ur'Akara and Miria would join us not long after. Prim...

Ummmm...

"Gods yes, my Princess! More, more!" Troya let off as her lady rocked into her with a strap on of some sort as Carmen squirmed in the pillory next to them.

"Prim, p-please... More..." The darker skinned girl let off.

I think... They would be awhile yet. I wasn't aware Prim could pull out that much endurance!

I would later learn she knew a spell to boost one's endurance (Well, Endurance and Recovery). I would have learned it once I knew of the spell if it weren't for the fact she was sleepy for the rest of the next day. That was a downside I didn't want to deal with.

The rain ended during our fun, thankfully, and dinner followed with a hearty meal to boot. We all rested well (Although Makoto requested to sleep in my bed with me that night (In the nude, no less) and I had no issues with that) although Prim looked like a zombie and barely ate, dealing with her spell's backlash. Troya and Carmen were more then happy to attend to her though.

It was when our carriages were being loaded that my Voxlux pinged in my pocket. I pulled it out and saw my father's face on it as I answered the call, stepping away from the carriages to take the call. "Hey Dad, how is it going?"

"Ah, well enough, my boy, well enough." Merlin said with a warm smile. The image and sound was coming in clear, his voice sounding like he was standing right before me. "Your ice cream maker's are still selling and we've been getting orders for Voxluxs and boosters from Pinewall, Greenwave, Delconna, Cameron and Rockquarry as well from as the Grand Duke himself." He said as I blinked. Either rumors of the communications system was going around or Merlin was meeting with a few people here and there.

"Wait, really?" I let off. After all, that was most of Ur accounted for right there; discounting only Ferra, Bemul and, ugh, Elddale. Classa as well, Andromeda had said she'd buy two more, after all.

Keep in mind, this was at first subsidized by the Adventurer's Guild with Celestine subsidizing it further. Between them I was spending next to nothing on producing them and selling each Voxlux for a gold a piece and each booster at ten; substantial for a normal person but cheap for the lords, militaries and merchants who could afford it. The boosters were more pricey, but even a modest town could afford one.

"Indeed. Pinewall, Delconna and Rockquarry bought three boosters each, even. Greenwave bought two and Grand Duke Fiorire bought four. In addition we've sent another down to Iron Road for Fredrick and Cress to place." My eyes widened a fair bit. That was sixteen boosters total, eighteen once Andromeda's pledge to buy two more was taken into account. While the current range and coverage wasn't being spread that much further then it already was it was spreading it further but more importantly spreading the boosters further and making the coverage denser to make taking the whole network out that much harder. "But that's not what I'm calling about; I was visited recently by Jamaica Galeraven."

House Galeraven was the rulers of the County of Ferra, Mungale's neighbors to the south. Jamaica was friends with my father (Not sure if more or not, this world was weird like that) and Ferra was our best trading partner. She tended to keep Ferra neutral on whatever nonsense the other lords threw around (Even from Arnold von Blitzhaus, sadly) but wasn't afraid to tell them to just knock it off if things were getting out of hand. Given my meetings with her (Or rather memories thereof) she was someone who was a good friend and a worse enemy.

"Given the subject you started with she was asking about the communications devices I've made, I take it." I said, taking a guess as to what that meeting was about. It wasn't a question, it was a statement.

"Indeed. She has already bought two for her realm as well." He said to my surprise; that upped the boosters sold to eighteen (Twenty if Andromeda followed through). Throw in what I already installed, plus the one in Argon and that was twenty two installed or soon to be installed and twenty four factoring in the Highreign's pledge to buy two more. "However she has asked that two more be placed; one in Wallace City and one on Castle Ferra itself."

I blinked a bit at that, unsure of why. Aside from that fact her Castle was just outside of Wallace City the point of the PDA function was to address the city directly. What did she have planned in setting it to her Castle?

Whatever; we had the spare boosters in the wagon and no reason to refuse her. "I have no issue with that. We won't be going too far out of our way; we're on our way back to Ur anyway so going to Ferra first isn't much of a detour."

"Good to hear, I'll let her know." Merlin said, smiling to me. "Safe travels." He said before hanging up. I would have to confirm things with Prim (Once she recovered, of course) but I doubted she would mind.

[New Quest Gained: Boosting Ferra]
[New Objective: Place a Booster in Wallace City]
[New Objective: Place a Booster on Castle Ferra]

Oh, new quest too! Perfect!

I guess we were off to the County of Ferra next.

[ - Author's Note - ]

Once more a longer chapter then I expected. Sigh. Oh well, I had fun writing it and I hope you had fun reading it. I do like adding a few odd kinks here and there beyond the vanilla to try and add in some spice. I do think I might have spent a tad too much on the world building, but I just liked this idea that a more sexually relaxed world might have a society or culture based on something odd, like BDSM. Yes, I do plan to have a couple more parts of Eostia have an odd kink or two. No it won't be the bulk of them. Yes, it'll all be consensual...

Except for the Slaves States. But fuck them, amiright?

I've also finished the first chapter of what will be called Eostia: Harem Questlines; that side fic that will be the collection for story ideas that might not jell with the majority of the audience and put on AO3 (Archive Of Our Own). It'll be more direct smut with a combination of harder/less vanilla kinks or non-canon ideas that came to me and I had to jam out. Bare in mind, the main story will have the bulk of my attention and effort

As usual, leave a comment or criticism on the chapter. Straw Poll is still up at strawpoll dot com (slash) ch7v6vwp7 and I'll end it next chapter. Speaking of, the next chapter will be our last in Ur! I plan a single interlude chapter to give an overview of the other Ur States we didn't visit and then it'll be off to Feoh and Alicia!

Until then!
