"I was sent by one of the demons from the taverns you were last night to check why you didn't head back. A demoness usually casts an allure to her prey making it such that once exposed to it, it would make unable to function without it."
"The demoness's name is Farley. She has the entire district in her palm, every guard and high profile individual in her grasp. That's all I know about her." The bandit mused, his figure shaking with fear and as if falling into realization as to what he had divulged and shut his mouth.
"Wait, a demoness is here?!" Shyla seemed shocked however Hedon looked unfazed. "No, she's at Galespire but her eyes are every where. Thanks, now die."
*Plop*
In an instant, the tier four expert's body popped like a pimple whereas the two kept on going with their journey back to the hotel. Shyla had all kinds of muses run through her cute little head. "I can't wait to arrive at Galespire and kill her."
Her excitement evident however Hedon had other plans. "It would be better to first refrain from doing s. Given that she has a lot of people under her control, killing her doesn't guarantee that they'll instantly be freed from it. Not every encounter is dealt with brute force, Shyla."
Her demeanor became more lax as she hear this. "Oh, I understand Zephie." He gave a light smile to the little girl. "Good, now take some rest, we have some distance to cover before we arrive at Galespire." And with that, she took her leave and retired for the night.
As for Hedon, his mind was already planning what the next set of events would occur, it was only a matter of time for him to play ball.
...
"What do you mean they were all killed?" A frustrated voice boomed through a contained room. It was the clerk from the tavern Hedon was the previous day.
"By the time we arrived at the scene, we found all of them dead. They all had holes impaled in their heads except the leader who had his entire body squished. We can't make out what was used to make those holes but extreme force was used to kill the leader."
One of the spies she had planted mused. "Just fuck off for now!" And with that, her mole took his leave. 'I have to notify Farley about this.' She pulled a rock from her drawer before injecting mana into it and relaying her message.
...
The figure of Hedon and Shyla's could be seen on a new cart which made it's way to Galespire. Hedon decided to change due to Shyla who wanted something more eye catching and he didn't mind. The narrow pathway had been cleared thus they didn't have to worry about the lycans.
As for the guards, they were replaced with new ones who gave them access to pass and before them, a twisty and curvy path was presented to them.
...
Glancing around, Andrew looked at the two ladies in the bed he was in as he clutched his head. He was right in between the two of them but with his will, he quietly made his exit out of the room and walked down the halls.
They were mostly empty, a he would occasionally run into androids that kept the place in shape. Sure he would run into some servants however they would pay their respects as they quickly scurried from his sight.
He made his way to the small garden which had botanist androids running it however with his system, he was able to dismiss them and shortly after...
*Snap*
A grand and majestic piano manifested as it faced the beach, from afar, the entire scene could be described as a work of art. The glassy shades reflected his figure and the piano making the entire even more ethereal.
He sat peacefully as he admired the word word of the piano, the refreshing smell of the flowers in the greenhouse as he gave a light sigh to the beautiful landscape of it all. From the well maintained garden to the shores afar before laying his fingers onto the keys.
Sevyn who had just woken up made her way to the mirror which displayed her full body. Her beautiful globes, her luscious ass and her seductive waist, truly a feast for the eyes making any man wish to spend a night with her.
Turning her body around, she wasn't that perplexed when she noted the marks on her body gone from their plays given that was what she had been up to. Of course that didn't mean that she left the kingdom unsupervised as she would run her duty like normal before she was bombarded by Andrew or Ashley.
From there, nothing but constant teases and games would erupt and as a testament, the sexy lingerie she had taken off the night before was proof. It wasn't in this world but given it was a gift from Andrew, she didn't think much of it and after putting it on, she was at first embarrassed to think that such a clothing would exist.
But with a bit of reassurance, she felt comfortable in it not to mention Ashley was in one as well making it at the end turn into a competition for seduction. With a flick of her wrist, a violet robe enveloped her figure, masking her raw beauty. 'Hmm... What's this?'
A soft and melancholic tune rang through her ears, something that she had never heard before and making her way to the source. And there it was, Andrew under the warm light his back facing her as he was deeply engrossed in the piano.
She was taken aback with his skill given that music wasn't something that had developed that much as the center focus in this world was power, everything fell second. Andrew, lost in his own world was playing a famous piece from the modern world, the first set piece of the Sonata.
A sombre and downcast tune to which she silently waited for him to come to an end. With every stroke of his fingers, even she took could feel entranced by it and her interest grew by the second a few minutes later, Andrew came to his end before patiently waiting for the piece to settle.
"Oh hello Sevyn, why don't you join me?" Her demeanor tensed up a bit. "No, it would be better to have you play but if you insist." She made her way to his position and bravely sat on his lap, the fear she initially had for him completely gone.
"Chuu~" A soft kiss rang through the air which was extended for longer than it needed to be as strings of saliva could be seen from the exchange. Andrew helped her position her fingers to the piano keys.
Shortly after, the sound of the piece he had executed could be heard however they weren't as crisp or as elegant given that she was much slower than him and at times press the wrong keys. Andrew patiently kep on going till the two came to their finale.
"Just a bit more training and I'm sure that you'll be as good as me." He urged as he nibbled into her ear which resulted with subconscious writhes and shivers from her. Recalling how he would handle her, she could already feel herself ready for another round.
"You've certainly lost your grace, Sevyn." He whispered as he pulled back her hair which made her body shudder and exposing her gracious slender neck to which he probed before making his way to her chin then her lips to which another kiss was shared between the two.
"But I think that we should focus on more important matters." And with that, he slowly let go of her. She knew that she had been postponing her duties as a queen. Sure she would squeeze a little bit of time here and there but in the end, it wasn't sufficient. Not to mention she still needed to clear matters with Lyrael.
She begrudgingly got off his lap, longing evident in her eyes as she glanced at his body to which he let out a small laugh before the two made their way back to the bedroom and wore much more professional attire. Ashley was still asleep, nothing surprising to Sevyn recalling back at the island.
The two made their way down the halls, their hands coupled before arriving at the dining hall. Unlike the island which was much smaller given that there were three of them, it was much bigger here with a feast laid out for them. But what caught Andrew's eye was that Thalia was here.
"My King and Queen." She mused as she made a bow to the two who dismissed it. "I hope that everything has been to your liking here, Thalia." Sevyn mused as Andrew helped her take a seat before taking one himself.
"Everything has been splendid, my Queen." Thalia mused with a smile, a tray in her hands as she was donned in a maid outfit. "That's great to hear. Just notify any of the high butlers and maids if you have a problem, okay?" She nodded as she excused herself out of the room.
"So how has the development with Miragestia been?" Andrew sparked the conversation off. "It's been great, the capital's already done along with the rest. Already merchants and high noble profiles have moved there."
It seemed that everything was going as predicted. "Thanks good to hear. There are two other ladies I'd like to introduce you to." Sevyn had expected to see the other two ladies he had mentioned about much earlier.
*Whoosh*
In a flash, the two ladies, Arabella and Lirien appeared right in the hall. Both dressed in their signature black slime. "Arabella, Lirien, I'd like to introduce you to Sevyn." Andrew urged while seated as he watched the entire scene unfold.
Sevyn rose to her feet to meet the two. "It's a pleasure to meet you two." Her voice light and friendly. "It's nice to meet you too, queen Sevyn." Arabella started off while Lirien was more focused on Andrew however her peek at him didn't go unnoticed as she greeted Sevyn.
'Just great, this is supposed to be the third representative and she's bound to her royal duties, you couldn't have selected someone else.' Andrew chuckled however he didn't raise her thought as he went on. "And I'd like to introduce you to Vivienne."
Unlike the pair who appeared out of thin air, Vivienne's appearance was way more eye catching as a tear through space emerged and her figure, donned in a black and golden slime retracted into her clothing. She glanced around as she greeted everyone.
The ladies were aware of her existence but what they didn't know about her was her skill was. Sure they knew that she could distort and warp space but that was as much information as they could work with. She had been personally trained by Andrew thus Arabella and Lirien felt that she had to be stronger than them.
"Vivienne, we met during the Matoreas test, right?" Arabella started off, her tone light. "Yes, it's a pleasure to meet you once more Arabella as well as the rest of you." The four took their seat, all facing at their meals before facing Andrew.
"So where's the fifth representative?" Vivienne asked as she looked around. She was the most relaxed out of all of them given she had known him the longest. "The last representative is still underway Vivienne. However let's focus on more detailed matters, I'm sure all of you are aware about the crack."
"It's only a matter of time before it spirals out of control. However there's something else I'd like to introduce you all to."
*Snap*
A mild pang of a shiver ran down their spine as they felt something change in their heads. A virtual geographic map was formulated right in front of them. It had all the debriefs of both the blessed lands and the wastelands, giving an exact location of a place or a person in particular.
One of the satellites that had been launched had been tapped into their systems to give them such an advantage. "It should help you with your task." They dismissed it to which it faded into the background. It was edge no doubt.
