《New: The Dark Inheritor》Chapter 15: Rude Awakening

Advertisement

Waking up from my conversation with Shadow and Chaos, I slowly open my eyes. Grasping my head, I can feel a slight headache. My body feels a bit better compared to the state I left it in. Actually, it feels great. Other than this headache. Raising my hand in front of me, I flex my hand into a fist. I shifted my shoulders, twist my ankles, tilt my neck, my body recovered from its ordeal. Did Shadow heal me? My chi and my mana are filled up as well. I still need to meditate later just in case, to ensure that my chi was stable. I played a dangerous game by having all of my energies go so low. I was going to die. Along with such recklessness, I would have gotten sick. Energy depression. This would leave me bedridden for a month. Or months. My regeneration of my lost mana would come at a slower rate along with my chi. Closing my eyes, I thank the gods that I did not gain such a sickness. I wouldn't bear with myself for making such a silly mistake.

Shadow's words echoed through my mind, stabbing my pride over and over again. I was being a foolish girl. No, I am foolish for believing that I would win that fight. No, better yet, I could have avoided it all together. The fight itself was a joke. An embarrassment to what I could truly do. It burns me, eating away at my pride. Looking back on it, I seriously need to lie down and look at what I have. I had several skills where I could try to sneak away. Knowing this malik, this true demigod, he would have seen through it all, but I implemented everything I had to survive. Not win. He taunted me, pulled me into his trap. Frustrated at my own stupidness, I drop my hand onto my forehead. I need to get serious. I need to change.

I have to hone these new traits. [Animal Instincts] is so handy. I just shoved it aside like it was nothing, but the sheer fact that it can renew my fight or flight instincts- I should really heed it's warning next time. It does give me a sense of what most animals can tell about an opponent. Even then, I bet there is a loophole to this. Those direwolves did not see or feel my true strength until the last minute. This will be useless against someone who can hide their true powers or fool [Animal Instincts]. Then again, I felt it through my entire fight with Shadow. Did he hide his presence or let a bit of it leak out? And if its only a small bit of it, how much is that? Rubbing my head now, I cursed at how I miss these small little things.

Every bit of traits can help me gain an edge in future fights. I should take a glance at the things I obtained, figure out how I can use this to my advantage, and then execute it. Throughout all of my fights, I still hug onto the skills and perks I am too familiar with. Ultimately, I will not improve if I keep using them, despite my familiarity with them. I have to adapt, change it up, use whatever I can to win any sort of engagement. Have a clear head, ignore my emotions, execute my actions without any hesitation...

With a bit of this reflection, I can guess why Shadow stopped me from killing the other two orcs. He knew that I had not grasped most of the traits I currently have. He knew that if I ranked up too quickly, I would be using my usual techniques and perks and neglect the other traits I have. I learned so much in our fight, but at the same time, I felt like shit. Because I was blinded by my own greed to get stronger. In a way, strength is good to have, but what does it mean in the long run? What can I do with this other than boast about my powers? And that itself, sounds really dumb. No, it reminds me of my father. A man who always bragged about his powers and his wealth. He abandoned his loving nature for...

Sighing, I just sink my head further into the pillow. Wait, how long was I out? And why am I warm? I bolted up from my bed, looking around. I was still in my room, but...

What are these three doing in my bed- OH MY GOD! My face turned red. Really red. I...

As to mock me, Chaos appears in my room. Everything around us was black and white. Shadow, too, was with her. He just stepped through the door of my room. He stops though, looking at the mess before him.

"HOLD ON! YOU SHOULDN'T BE IN HERE!" I screamed. My declaration was directed at Shadow.

"I know of your curse, and I am no child. If you think seeing you naked with three other girls will make me into some pervert, then you surely misjudged my character. Your fears should be placed on the drooling goddess you serve..."

"I take offense to that!" Chaos, back in her pajamas, did not hide her... intense gaze. Feeling violated, I raised the blanket over my body, terrified at her bewildered expression.

"A divine being reflects her champion... and vice versa." Shadow muttered. I blinked at his statement. "What? Think about it, most of the time, divine beings choose champions that reflects them in a way. And Chaos is a lesbian."

"Hey, I don't blab about your sexuality-"

"I'm straight. Married." Shadow calmly answers, "Take your eyes off your own champion. At least explain this goddamn predicament-"

"Weren't you the one who forced her to stay knocked out for two days? You should do it. I'm just here to see the actual reaction."

"... As an educated guess, the curse made me do what I did... Although shouldn't I be... I don't know, a monster right now?" This is rather fishy. I was suppose to do it with one of these girls that night when I fought against Shadow, but I was unconscious. How exactly am I still... sane?

"... who said you didn't transform." Shadow folded his arms, "You did transform into a lustful beast, but those three made sure you were glued to them the entire day. Your mode lasts for a day." I grasp my head, ushering out foul, vulgar words through my lips. I did it... I seriously lost my virginity... AND I CAN'T REMEMBER IT!? "... I think I shouldn't have come here. Chaos, this is your mess. Do something about it." In a flash, Shadow disappeared from the room. Chaos tried to stop him, but she cursed at his retreat.

"Bastard. This was his fault for knocking you out..." Not coming back at all, Chaos lets out a sigh, but she had a cheeky smile. She hops onto my bed, sitting in front of me, "So yeah. You did it. With three girls- you pimp-"

"SHUT UP!" I try to push her off of me, but she pushes me down onto the bed, smirking at my predicament.

"You know, you being flustered like that... makes you super cute. I wouldn't mind letting you have a go with me and relive the event-"

"Why did these three... I mean, I know I had to do it with someone... But all three!?" Was this even okay? Chaos frowned.

"You kidding? You're complaining about this?"

"Yes! Cause I wasn't ready, and I might have guilted them into-"

"Are you dumb? You're making me think that you're dumb. Extremely. You know why all three of these beautiful gals would be with you in bed."

"I agree." As if I didn't need another- WAIT! One surprise after another, Melantha can hear these conversations. "Don't act so surprised. I am dead, for one, and I have my rank that allows me to participate in these talks. You should know that Alice has feelings for you along with the kidnapper."

"Esta is madly in love with you the moment she saw you." Chaos added, "So it was bound to happen."

"B-But I barely know them! I mean, I like Alice, but I feel like I haven't known everything about her."

"You will in time." Melantha says, crossing her legs in midair, "Along with everyone else. There was no reason not to pass up the chance of fucking you when you desperately need it. Thinking about it, you looked quite.... hot when you were lusting for their touch."

"W-W-W-What?!" I stuttered, growing into a bright red tomato. Chaos, amused by this, lays ontop of me, listening to Melantha's story telling...

18+ Scene Aisha with Leilatha, Esta, and Alice

Esta POV

I was worried about the master... She did so much for me. The masked man did not harm me as he somehow attracted the attention of this small child. Although I was a bit curious about her attires and the way she carried herself, I know that she was not to be trifled with. So I remained quiet, but I was worried about my master. My heart was beating so fast, I was so confused. When I was told to go into the forest. Alice and Leilatha went to find Abaddon Morrin once AIsha dragged the orcs away from us. As the two went to Abaddon Morrin, they told me to find Aisha. Walking in circles and having no direction to where she went, I wander the forest aimlessly. That's when I heard a mysterious voice. I should have known better, not to follow it, but I listened and followed the eerie voice. At the end of it, I appeared before the masked man. The next few moments were a blur. It happened so fast, I was in a daze. Asotnishment washed over me as Aisha stood before me. She had the powers of a god though, making me awe and tremble at her might. Yet she was not winning against the masked man. He was extremely strong. So strong that I was a liability to my master. I felt ashamed at how she had to defend me, and I felt bad when she tried to push herself even further to stay awake and defend me. It tore my heart in two. I was still scared of the masked being, but he did nothing else after she fell onto the floor. When the masked man told me to go fetch my allies, I did so, hoping that he would do nothing to Aisha... or to my friends. Abaddon Morrin found me easily as I cried for their help.

When I led them back to the spot, Aisha was alone on the ground with her clothes intact. I was slightly confused at that because, I know for sure, Aisha was naked when I left her...

Either way, Alice led us back to the tavern that they are staying in. Informing two black knights, Alice gave a rundown on what has happened. The knights are strange. Usually, people don't have knights as their bodyguards- is Aisha some noble? Either way, I did not tell Alice the full situation on what had happened, making some stuff up. I do not want them to fight against that masked man. Ultimately, I am worried about my master. I couldn't focus on any conversations as much, hoping that she is well...

Once night approaches, one of the black knights, Gallant, had the three of us gather in one room. I was a bit worried to why I was in this room as well. Fidgetting in my seat, I tried my best to remain still. What would they have me do? I doubt I can fight off whatever attacked Aisha... And I never told them about the masked man who attacked her. I have a feeling that it might create some issues if I did. Gallant was explaining something really serious though. I caught a few words here and there, but I was extremely clueless to what he was asking us to do. Apparently, Aisha has this curse and she has to do something for it within the week. From what Gallant told us, she hasn't done it yet, and now she is reaching the time limit. If we, by we I mean Alice, Leilatha, and I, don't do something, there will be a lot issues. And I know I don't want my master to have anymore issues on her plate. But this task left me a bit puzzled. Alice and Leilatha, on the otherhand, were a bit... red. Alice was trying her best to keep herself calm, which was a bit weird. She usually hides her expressions. Leilatha, like Alice, was red as well, but she seems a bit excited. Like looking forward to doing something for Aisha. I just blinked at their reactions, tilting my head at Gallant. The knight, noticing my confusion, asked me, "Are you against it?"

"I mean... I know I love my master, but what are you telling me to do?"

"... You need to... do it with her. You must have sex with her."

Sex. I heard that word, but never seen it. I don't know the actual meaning behind it. Trying to decipher it, using every ounce of my brain to figure out what he was asking specifically, I draw a blank. I know my parents talked about it, but they said I was too... innocent for such things. And then I heard those words from my captives and the audience before Aisha saved me. Sex. Blinking at the armored knight, he pieced my confusion together.

"You... do you even know what that word means?"

"Nope." I answered, kicking my legs in the air. I think I said a wrong answer as the room went quiet. Leilatha and Alice gawk at me in disbelief. I return their gaze with a tilt of my head.

"I really don't know. My parents said I was too innocent for it. What is it?" Jumping at this new word, this new action, I think I want to know what it is. Was it something good for the master? I really want to repay Aisha in some way. And if I have to have sex with her, that would be good, right? My two comrades did not have the stomach to answer my question. They divert their attention towards Gallant. The man, shaking a bit says, "You got to be kidding me... Why do I have to explain it?!"

"You're older than us." Alice says. Gallant lets out a low growl.

"Leilatha should be older than me-"

"Correction, I am only fifty. You, technically, have more ages than me. Hundreds..."

"I'm hundreds of years old too!" I exclaimed, smiling at them. The dreadful silence lingers in the air. Gallant muttered some swear words under his breathe. Rubbing his helmet, he tries his best to explain what sex is. It can't be that bad. It shouldn't be. A lot of people say sex, so it can't be too bad.

"It is when you have your privates rub against each other to create sexual arousal... Or do things that create sexual tensions..." I tilt my head at some of his words. Sexual arousal? Sexual tensions?

"Privates?" I asked.

"Like your womanhood." Gallant pointed out.

"So... how does that work?"

"...For the love of god... Are you sure you two should let me do this? I really don't want to be the one explaining this..."

"Yes." the two girls did not want to explain it to me. However, before Gallant can explain what sex is, Golem barged into the room.

"Bad." It seems like everyone else got his one word liners while I question what he meant by that. Without wasting any time, all of us rush towards Aisha's room. Gallant and Golem, for some odd reason, were telling us, with haste, about what to do. Still confused, they shoved the three of us into the room and closed the door. What we saw before us was.... intoxicating. I know I could not stare at my master, and I was blushing so hard, I might have fainted. Despite my statements, I was staring.

Aisha was awake, but she was troubled. It seems like she was getting hot. Too hot for her own attires as they were not worn properly. Her shirt and her pants were not placed on properly. It was like she was trying to take it off, but only managed to get her shirt up above her breasts as her pants are at her knees. We can see her dark undergarments. The three of us blushed at the alluring silver haired woman. Despite her clothes being on her, she was tempting us to come over. Splayed out on the bed, hair wild and loose, eyes looking at us, she gave a subtle smile. The moment we stepped into the room, I noticed Aisha wasn't herself. I did not see the Aisha I know of, feeling a bit sick at this random stranger wearing my master's face. Alice, sensing my discomfort says, "I know its not Aisha, but she is under a curse. If we don't do this, she will most likely rape every girl in the city... Which would be bad."

"Rape?"

"Please, I wouldn't do that... I think." Aisha says, questioning her own answer as she stares at us, "I just need... some sweet, sweet love." Leilatha also whispered her thoughts, "She's not in the right of mind... But you know, I don't mind going first..."

"You pervert." Alice glares at Leilatha, "You would want it regardless of if its really Aisha or not. She wouldn't be so needy if she was in control-"

"Alice, please," sitting up from the bed, Aisha seems a bit more dazzling with her hair running down her body as some strands run down her face. Her eyes, they have a green hue to them, but right now, is it flashing between red and green? "You know that I can't resist your charm. The way you act all emotionless has its own quirk. It does turn me on a bit, but oddly enough, I do like the times when you show me a hint of emotions. Like so." Getting up for a brief second, Aisha pulled Alice towards her. Watching, we see Aisha run her hands down Alice's sides, tickling her a bit. Alice bites down on her lower lip, blushing madly, but Aisha, like a hungry predator, nibbled her earlobe. Alice elicits giggles and a shriek burst. Amazed at Alice's cute voice, a voice that we barely hear, Leilatha and I just watched in amazement at Aisha's bold move.

"So cute." Aisha seems drunk, but she pushes Alice onto the bed, still tickling her, but with one of her hand, she starts to undo the strings of Alice's gown from behind her, "But I feel like I need more skin. Clothes can be a nuisance at times like this."

"A-Aisha... s-s-s- Hmmmmmmph!" I think I had my mouth drop. I mean, I know what a kiss is, but seeing Aisha give one to Alice... made me feel weird. I squirmed in my spot, unable to avert my eyes. Wasn't a kiss suppose to be special? A way to show signs of affection? Of love?

Aisha closed her eyes to deliver a tender kiss onto Alice. The girl was shocked at such a move, but she pulled away, letting loose giggles slip between her lips. Those giggles were a bit mesmorizing since we barely hear such a high pitch noise coming out from Alice. As if this wasn't enough, Aisha gives a deadly smirk. "Ticklish, sensitive, cute, and full of life, you surely have been hiding your emotions... Tonight, I'll change that." Lowering the top portion of her dress, Alice's fair skin trembled. Without any protection, Aisha teasingly slide a finger around Alice's slim navel as she gets ontop of the girl. I could not stare away from this interaction, getting drawn into this.

Is this sex? No... Tickling isn't like sex, but... is it a way to get sexually aroused? I never thought of it like that. Foreplay I guess? As I analyzed the scene with great interest, still trembling in utter confusion, Alice was shaking. Yes, Aisha's finger still tickled her, ever so slightly on her slim navel, but Aisha was doing something that I never seen before. Or I never actually thought about till now. Even though Alice is wearing a bra, Aisha twirls her finger idly around Alice's nipple. Trying to hide her expressions, Alice bites down on her lower lip. She tries her best to hide her excitement. Sadly, Aisha capitalized on this weakness.

"My, my, do you have sensitive nipples? I think you're either a virgin or you haven't done it for a long time... Or maybe you're very sensitive right now because I'm doing it to you... or going to. Although I do like to play with my food..." Lowering her face, her lips press against her other nipple. "I will make you squirm and make you beg me to strip you." Moving her head from her breast, Aisha licks her way up to Alice's neck, nibbling ever so softly. Giggles continue to roll out of Alice's lips, wiggling and squirming under her touch. A new sound was mixed in her giggles though- moans? It was... a new noise I am not familiar with. I am fixated on these actions. Is this love? I know that my parents loved me, they died protecting me, but this sort of thing...

"A-Aisha! N-Not yet!" Only for a second, I break out of my thoughts to see Aisha's hand sliding between Alice's legs. She shoved her hand past the clothes that are around her waist still, making some unseen motion beneath Alice's skirt. I glanced down at my own womanhood. What exactly is Aisha doing?

"You really shouldn't be doing this... but it is too late to turn back." Leilatha whispers. Scratching her head, I noticed her light red cheeks. Ah... isn't she experienced in this? I never knew Leilatha's history. As if she read my mind, she says, "You... Are you sure you want to actually do this? You are.... innocent and pure. I don't know if you should do this with Aisha... especially in this state."

"You're experienced right? You know what sex is... Can you show me what Aisha is doing right now to Alice?"

As if she was a ticking time bomb, Leilatha lost her cool. Her cheeks flushed with more color, staring at me with huge eyes.

"Excuse me!?" Leilatha screamed. There was silence between us. Alice lets out a scream this time, our attention snapping back to Alice. Whatever Aisha was doing underneath her skirt got to Alice. In a good way? Alice was a mess. Her hair was splayed on the bed, face extremely red. It seems like she wants to cry, but at the same time, she was happy? Contemplating? I cannot tell since I am not the one... receiving Aisha's touch. She begs Aisha, "N-N-No... I-It's too early..." or "Ohhhh... S-Stop that! D-Don't tickle me heheheheh." Aisha was doing so many things. She plays with Alice's breasts, giving her undivided attention on those nipples. Alice was squirming madly at the nibbles or kisses Aisha delivered on the nape of her neck and a bit lower. And lastly, Aisha's fingers are moving underneath the skirt, doing something to Alice's womanhood. But what exactly? Despite her protests, she was enjoying it. Her smile, her responses, they are full of life. Aisha is a pleasant sight, but Alice was starting to have her own allure.

A strange sensation was making me fidget around in place. Why am I feeling so weird!? This troubled me so badly that I could not stay still.

"Beg. Tell me to take off these pesky clothes." Aisha mutters that in a somewhat serious tone. Doing something under Alice's gown, Alice lets out another scream. Not only that, those giggles were turning into laughter, and the moans are increasing in volume. Frustrated at what was going on, I asked Leilatha with urgency, "W-Why is Alice screaming? I-Is Aisha hurting her?"

Before she can say anything, my master sweetly says, "If you want to know so badly my cute, adorable Esta, come over here..." The way Aisha addressed me... made me... melt. Unable to comply though, I stand closer to Leilatha. Aisha did not look my way though. Her concentration is on the prey before her. Alice was unable to form any sort of sentence as Aisha had her way with the 'emotionless' girl. Would Aisha be gentle with me if we did this? Or would she devour me?

"I bet it'll take a good... three minutes before Alice may ask Aisha to take off her clothes." Leilatha muttered. She even spoke it in elvish. Even though I stood near Leilatha, I didn't realize that I was standing in front of her. This was sort of a mistake. With my mind trying to piece everything together and my body trying to fix all of these different emotions, I actually approached the bed.

Noticing my presence, Aisha abandons Alice for me, leaving the girl breathless. My master reeled me in, throwing me onto the bed. Before I can object, protest, cry out, she place her smooth lips against mine. As if there was some magical spell behind those tender lips, my body melts in esctasy. A warm joy spreads through my body like none before. Or it does remind me of the time when I was with my parents, with my family, but this... This was unbelievable.

Pulling away for a bit, she spoke, caressing my cheek, "You are so innocent and pure Esta. Your love for me is a bit blind, but if you do love me, then I will treat you with utmost care."

Digesting her words, was she able to read my mind? How did she know I had those sort of feelings? And... I am being too loyal to her. How come? No, I think I know the answer. Either way, I know for a fact that I really do love my master, despite meeting her for a brief while. She even protected me when she was fighting against that masked man. Me? A mere stranger. She would have died protecting me. Troubled by my own thoughts, Aisha addressed them with care.

"Maybe it was love at first sight. Maybe it must be because of my perk, or if I had to guess, it could be Chaos' doings, but if you do develop real, true feelings for me, I will return them in earnest. To be honest, I doubt my actual mind will remember this event since I, my lustful state, is aware of those who love me. And I bet my nonlustful self, my idiotic self, would try to push you away with something like, 'I don't want to hurt Esta because she's innocent and pure' or 'She is too cute."" She giggles softly as she kisses me on the forehead and slowly have her hands rub run down my chest. She did not grab my breasts or attack me like Alice. She was... gentle. Her movements did not do anything too sexual, yet it made me body heat up in... anticipation. Yearning? She gentle rub her head against my chest, saying, "You continue to chase after me until my real, idiotic self, can answer to your response. Until then, I will treat you... differently. My dear Esta." She ends her little speech with a short kiss.

D-Did she confess to me? Or answer my true feelings!? How was she able to read all my thoughts?! Flustered beyond belief, I stutter, shaking madly on the bed. I can't... My thoughts... It was like this Aisha did a one eighty and overwhelmed me with too much love with her words alone! I-I think... Ah, her eyes. Her expression- I really can't look away. Everything about her seems so gentle-

"HEY! You...! Aisha, how dare you leave me hanging!" Alice, shocking me out of my trance, tackles the woman onto the ground, growling and cursing at master for... What exactly?

"H-Hey Alice..." Aisha's voice was a bit shaky, "U-Um... Oops."

"You just... How- UGH! You're so getting-" There were a few grunts, screams, laughing, yelps, moaning- a lot of that actually- coming from the two girls as they tussle with each other. Leilatha just sighs, watching the two wrestle each other. Coming towards me, she strokes my cheek.

"You alright? Aisha did not say anything... mean to you, right?"

"Eh?" Excuse me? Didn't Leilatha hear what Aisha said to me? I know she has combat experience, and I know her ears should have heard what Aisha said to me. Our ears are extremely sensitive after all.

"She... was talking in Elenarian." Leilatha explained, "Did she threaten you or...?"

"E-Excuse me?" I blinked at this revelation. She spoke in Elenarian? My ancient language? I could not see my master past the bed, hearing the two girls still go at it. Leilatha nods, ignoring the fight.

"Yes... It was really weird. I guess she picked it up by kissing you. Maybe? I have no clue how she knows it, but I did not understand a single word coming out of her mouth. I am glad Alice charged at her before I did..." Rubbing her chin, she says this under her breath, "Although... I might join in soon enough just to keep Aisha's hands off of you."

If Aisha did speak in my language, I guess she wanted it to be a secret. How come? As I drift into my thoughts, I can hear Alice screams out, "You just rip my bra off!"

"Excuse me! You were trying to take my panties off!" In a quick motion, Leilatha picks me up from the bed with such swiftness, I did not realize the sudden action. Aisha tossed Alice onto the bed with some force behind it. Feeling a bit sorry for the bed, since it is all messy, I can see Alice's bare breasts. Her pink nipples are stiffer than usual. I blushed at the sight of Alice's panties. The skirt must have been ripped off. With her lower body exposed, my eyes rest on that spot where Aisha's hand invaded her...

"Y-You can do that?!" I am a bit amazed and... horrified at the sight of it. I...

"Yes..." Leilatha was reluctant to give me her response. "I mean... it should have been obvious." Covering my eyes, I try to look away. Try. Secretly, I was watching through the gaps of my own fingers, still curious. When Alice tries to resist Aisha, I did see...

After that, I blacked out from what I saw.

Leilatha POV

Knew that Esta would faint at the sight of a vagina... Or the insides. Slightly. Weird, being older than me, I thought Esta would not be fazed by the sight of someone else's vagina. Guess that she really is pure and innocent. Catching the elf before she hurts herself, I sat her on a nearby chair. The two are still at it, Alice resisting Aisha's advance. With Esta unconscious, there was no hesitation now. I really want to join in on this.

Yet I am a bit amazed at how effective this curse is.

I had a lot of relationships. Good, bad, doesn't matter, I never meant a virgin who knew how to have sex. Especially with the same sex. Aisha, oblivious to love, should have no experience in this field. But with [Lustful Curse], it changed her in so many ways. For starters, and an obvious point, she is not herself. It feels like she's matured. Someone that isn't so oblivious in more than one way. She acknowledges our love, she knows how to move her finger, she knows what to do... A virgin should not be able to have such confidence. Secondly, she is using her perks to her advantage. I know that when people have sex, they would not activate any trait during intercourse. Yet Aisha is doing it. She has elevated her charm on a very deadly level. Anyone who gaze at her will be drawn in, unable to resist. It's so subtle that no one will notice it. I can see it because... well, I am linked to Aisha now. I can feel it. Thirdly, Aisha's [Lustful Curse] is extremely different from the usual. I had have sex with those with [Lustful Curse], and they are barely in control. They would be begging, pleading for sex OR they will attack with no control of themselves. Even before they go crazy on the seventh day, the girl would not be able to get out of bed unless she has sex.The fact that Aisha has full control over herself is really odd. And lastly, I fear for anyone who she's not gentle with. On the seventh day, people enter [Frenzy Lustful Curse] and become a Devil. Once they become a Devil, they have no control and will rape any girl that they set their sights on. If you're lucky, or unlucky depending on circumstances, a couple can satisfy a Devil. Aisha, being in [Frenzy Lustful Curse] and is a Devil, should be hunting. Not being so... idle.

I got a sneaky feeling that something else is going on. Aisha is a huge outlier in a lot of things. She has chaos magic. A magic that should be extinct. [Lustful Curse] should be doing a lot more harm than what it is doing right now. Shoving away these thoughts though, I will join in on this mess. While I was in deep thought, I have discarded most of my clothes. My bra and panties are still on me, knowing full well that I like it when my significant other takes them off personally.

Ah, I must have been thinking too much. Alice is in a pickle. Aisha, lost in her assault, was ontop of Alice. Her fingers have already penetrated past her lips, entering her wet pussy. Aisha's mouth suck on Alice's erect nipple. One of her hands grope and fondle with Alice's left breast, making Alice unleash louder moans. After a while, her fingers wrap around her left nipple, rubbing and swirling around their pointy state.

Before Aisha looked over her shoulder, I hug the princess from behind, grasping her breasts into my grip. Oh my! I didn't expect them to be this soft. Letting out a slight squeal, Aisha's cheeks turns red. Her red eyes lock onto me, giving me a slight chill. Even if her eyes are off of Alice, her hands are still moving.

"Well, well, well, aren't you joining in on the party?" she teases.

"Please, I would have charged in if Esta wasn't around." I replied, nibbling on her neck a bit, "I have to admit... You aren't acting like a clueless virgin. How come?" Moaning a bit, Aisha gives me a sultry response, making me lust for this silver haired girl.

"Let's just say... I'm special. In more than one way."

"Really now?" I squeeze with a bit more force, having her usher out an alluring moan, "Well, I guess I have to squeeze it out of you, right?" I slid my right hand down to her crotch, seeing if this naughty princess is getting... "Aren't you wet?"

"And you're not?" she retorts. The hand she was using on Alice's breast slid into my panties. Feeling my own womanhood, she gives a nasty smirk. Yes, of course I'm fucking wet. I don't need to hide it though. Aisha obviously knows that I wanted her. The moment I saw her poster, the moment I met her, I wanted to do this to her.

And now I can.

Succumbing to my lust, I slid my hands past her undergarments. My left hand fondles Aisha's left breast. Still wearing her bra, her breast was tightly in my grasp. I massage them in a circular motion as my other hand starts to tease her clit. I use my other fingers to tease the lips of her womanhood, watching her body tremble against me. A bit annoyed at the fact that she was not toying with my own womanly parts, I just press my breasts against her back. Despite my attack on her breast and vagina, she is still pleasuring Alice. She has returned her hand that invaded my panties onto Alice's breast, rubbing her erect nipple between her index and middle finger. The fingers in her womanhood are still thrusting in and out at a moderate pace. Aisha is using three fingers now, trying to get Alice to cum. I am guessing that, despite Aisha's lustful state, she cannot concentrate on Alice if she is being pleasured?

Giggling at the thought, I nibble on Aisha's ear to get her to squeal again. Her body shakes at my unexpected action. Taking the initiative, I slide one finger into her, feeling her lips tighten around it. Hey, you're suppose to let me in. Aisha froze for a split second, shaking madly at my one finger inside of her. I whisper in her ear, slowly pulling my index finger in and out, "You shouldn't stop... Alice might get mad at you. If you don't make her cum soon, I might use my magic on you." Emphasizing my little threat, I wiggle my finger inside her a bit. This extracted shivers and moans from the princess. This action alone also made the princess lose her focus. At the same time, I can feel her vagina loosen up, shoving my finger forward.

The moment that Aisha paused because of my small action, Alice glares at us. Standing up, the impatient Alice wraps her arms around Aisha.

"Do... not... stop! I was..." Of course she won't say it, but I can guess that she was in the moment. I highly doubt that Alice will stop once she cums. We have a long night ahead of us.

Alice drags Aisha's upper body onto hers. Ripping off her bra, they press their breasts against each other as they kissed. Aisha, snapping out of her slight daze, continues her assault with a bit more vigor. She starts to increase the pace of her fingers entering into Alice's vagina. Knowing that I won't get any attention anytime soon, I continue my nonchalant fingering into Aisha's womanhood, using my other hand to tease her back or gasp her ass cheeks. Even with my laid back manner, I do take note of Aisha's reactions as I finger her. A bit hard to tell what works on her when Alice is also playing with her.

Definitely a threesome.

Aisha is sandwiched between Alice and I. The two were in a constant kissing session, breaking off for a few seconds before they continue. Their moans mixed in with each other, filtering out of their mouths or into each other. They rub and nuzzle their upper bodies together, creating any sort of friction with upper halves. Alice uses her hands to run through Aisha's silver hair, wrapping her other arm around Aisha's back. The two were looking at each other, whispering sweet words to one another as they never took their eyes off of each other. With her erect nipples, Aisha would motion her body to run and rub against Alice's pink buttons. Still feeling left out, I decide to give Aisha a run for her money. Taking my other hand that was groping her ass, I use a single finger to twirl around her clit. My other hand is still fingering her, but with this, it should push Aisha a bit more. In addition, I added a few more fingers past her slits.

Dang, I want someone to stick their finger or tongue inside of me. I think I am a bit pissed at how I am not receiving any sort of treatment.

Fazed by my assault on her clit, Aisha lets out a bewildered moan escape her mouth. She was breathing heavily as... Oh... Right.

I should have been a bit cautious about this. Her hymen broke. Not a bad think, but there's blood.

"You alright?" I stopped for a bit to make sure Aisha wasn't feeling any sort of pain. Even though I am using my fingers, I think I actually push them a bit too far... And using a bit too much force. I seriously lost my touch. How long has it been since I did it with another woman? Ten years now? Twelve? Panting a bit, she lets out a low growl.

"Don't stop... I-I was about to..." Understanding her frustration, I went back to work. She lets out a cute moan, slowly falling ontop of Alice. I have to hand it to Aisha, she was still pumping her fingers into Alice. I would use my mouth on Aisha's wet pussy, but...

Towering over Aisha's body, I lower my mouth to her neck. Entangled with Alice's lips, she lets out another cute squeal, shivering madly at the sudden sensation. I tease her flesh, nibbling, gnawing, licking, watching every subtle reaction her body produced. The two girls stop kissing one another, panting heavily. They're reaching their climax, begging each other to go faster and faster. Abiding their commands, well specifically for Aisha, I start to increaes my tempo. Watching the two get heated, I just sigh in envy. Ignoring my little dilema, I continue to keep at it. Obviously, I was keeping my eyes on the princess, making sure that I did not hurt her in anyway. To be honest, I would have done a lot more if I was giving the princess my undivided attention and vice versa. Sadly, Alice is mixed into it, and to be perfectly honest, I never had a threesome. I always had one on one relationships, so this is kind of new for me.

Well, I bet Alice has no experience in it as well... Unless I'm wrong.

My thoughts were interrupted when the two girls exclaim,

""I'm coming!""

I can feel and see their love juices flow out of their vaginas. Slowly taking my fingers out of Aisha, I brought my messy right hand to my lips. I lick off Aisha's cum, savoring the slightly sweet flavor to it. I wish there was some flavor to a virgin's fluids, but it is what it is. There is a mix of blood on my fingers. Taking a bit of the bed sheet, I wiped it off. The two girls had a stupid grin on their face, savoring their moment. Aisha, taking her own hand, licks Alice's nector from her fingers. She does it in a very catlike manner, showing a mischievous glint in her eyes. Feeling a bit left out, she strokes Aisha's lips to get a bit of her nector and sucks on her finger. Amused, Aisha giggles at the action.

"Well, isn't that nice." I laid down on the bed, stretching my body across the bed, "Glad you two enjoyed yourselves." A few seconds passed by as I hear complete silence. I did close my eyes for a bit, hoping to hear a response from Aisha or Alice. What I didn't expect were the two girls ganging up on me. And what's wrose, they also tied me up a bit. Straddling my waist, Aisha was giving me a predatorial gaze. Alice, on the other hand, took the opportunity to cast a magical set of handcuffs around my wrists. She attached a chain or rope to the ground or something, securing my arms high above my head. Great...

"W-Well... are the handcuffs necessary?" I do like it when I get dominated, but I have a slight fear of being tied up. Feeling a sharp sensation in my armpits, Aisha leans in, nibbling at my elven ears. Oh god! Refusing to laugh, I struggle in vain.

"You know... attacking me when I was trying to give a one on one session with Alice is a bit rude. I think you need to be punished." Containing my slight fear, I was secretly enjoying this development.

"Oh no?" I joked, playing along with my sticky situation.

Yep, I'm already wet from this alone...

Aisha POV

After hearing all of the details... I just shook my head. I can't believe... I... I will have to talk to each of them and apologize for my actions. I seriously... Did they really like me that much? They took the chance to take my virginity and have a... Dumbfounded, speechless, still shocked at these turns of events, I just let out a loud sigh, hitting my pillow. Chaos, relishing in my sudden revelation, just gave me a smug look. She looks like a stupid cat who won a game of some sort. Melantha, on the other hand, was nonchalant about it all. She doesn't seemed bothered by it.

"Alice wanted you. She did it in her own way... Well, her own way being attacked and being raped by you. You certainly showed no mercy when you grabbed her."

"Enough. I... will handle this some other time. Why did you visit me? Is there something urgent?"

"Well, we wanted to check up on you, but to be honest, my main goal was to get a good detailed account of what had happened. I must have been utterly distracted to forget about this. I really do regret missing the chance to record it..."

"Shadow is right... you are a perve. A major one..." I couldn't help but gawk at Chaos. She would seriously record it? She would have porn of me... GROSS!

"What? I can't?"

"Yeah... I deny this notion. Don't even consider trying and hiding it from me. I could ask Shadow to make sure you don't." Chaos puts on a pouty face, making me question why she would even consider such a thing. Wait...

"... do you have a stash or something-"

"NOT TELLING YOU!" With that being said, the world returns to its normal colors, "In all seriousness though, you need to reflect and train yourself better. I won't give a lengthy lecture like Shadow, but he has a point. Do some research on a lot of things. That is all." As she disappears, I was left there with the three girls and Melantha. She just shrugs her shoulders and return herself into Alice's body. Guess she is tired and needs to rest? I wonder what she does exactly within Alice's body when she is awake. Not dwelling on those thoughts for too long, I just creep out of my bed. Making sure I did not disturb the three girls, I slip on some clothes and got myself ready for today...

The inn was packed. I can see many adventurers venturing through the dining hall, sitting and conversing with one another. Coming to grab a quick bite for breakfeast, I saw my two knights and Abaddon Morrin. A lot of people avoided the table that they were on, making sure to keep a good distance away from the champion. They know better than to mess or listen into her conversations. Noticing me from the corner of her vision, she informed my two knights. Gallant turns his head, motioning me to sit with them. Doing so, I took the empty seat in front of Abaddon Morrin and Gallant. As usual, Golem is standing beside the table. He will surely crush his seat if he didn't.

"You doing alright?" Gallant asks.

"Other than my three day rest, feeling great. Shocked at the little surprise when I woke up, but nonetheless, great." To be honest, I felt like shit. I don't remember my time with the girls, I have to improve, got a lecture from this demigod from another world, and I wasted some precious time that I could have used to do various other things. I purposely lied to them, not wanting them to hear my complaints and my issues. I doubt that they can handle themselves against Shadow, so no point in bringing it up.

"What happened... We only got a bit of details from the girls." Gallant whispers. Trying to avoid any slip ups, I ask him, "What did they tell you?"

"Something about some orcs attacking your group. You dragged them away, but afterwards, they found you in that state." Adding more urgency and a bit of anger, he says, "What the heck were you doing?! You were low on both of your energies- you know how dangerous that is?!" Keeping a calm face, I just give him half a truth... and a lie.

"I had to experiment with one of these abilities I obtained. You know..." I did not fill in the gap. Some people might hear what I have to say, and chaos magic is suppose to be extinct. I do not need anymore unwanted attention, despite my growing fame. Understanding it, Gallant backs up, shaking his head. Golem does the same. These two were worried about me.

"...It's that bad? I didn't expect it to be that difficult. I might need to train you on some other things." As my two knights figure out what lessons they should give me in the future, I notice Abaddon Morrin giving me a strange gaze. It was one that was analyzing me, observing me. I tilt my head at her, but she shows no reaction to it. "Well, what do you want Aisha? We can go fetch you some food." Right, I do need it. Listing off something light like bread and water, they disappeared into the crowd.

Feeling a sense of magic through the air, I look at Abaddon Morrin. She seems... dreadfully serious. She must have cast something around us because of the extreme silence. A second ago, there was a lot of chatter. With this action alone, I can see where this is going. And I know Abaddon Morrin wants a private conversation with me once my knights are away. Before I could say anything, Abaddon Morrin states this.

"You fought against him? You fought against Shadow?" The intense gaze Morrin has locked me in made me speechless. Did I do something wrong?

"I... did. He came to me though." Did she get a notification about Shadow from her divine being?

"You didn't seek me out? You know that we could have handled him together? And why exactly did he appear before you? Is he a crazed divine being or...?" The rest was cut off, waiting for my response. I know lying would not do me any good, and I know better than to try something that silly against an experienced champion. I rather make her trust me and become my ally than anything else.

"I didn't because I thought I could handle him. He appeared before me to have an audience with Chaos. If he was an insane being, he would have destroyed half of the forest if he wanted to." I answer most of the questions as the champion just sighs and leans back in her chair. Tapping on the table, she reveals this piece of information.

"... Shadow is on a whole different level than you think. As a champion, and one of high rank, nothing should avoid my senses. I could feel or sense another champion or divine being within the area. You were a different story because-" she stops herself, looking at me, "Well, you're special in a way. Anyways, Shadow made you invisible. The world does not know about your fierce battle." What?

"Excuse me? Made me invisible? What do you mean?"

"Like I said, he made you invisible. I could not sense your presence when you engage the masked man. The moment I felt one of the orcs die, your presence vanish from my internal radar. Think of it like this, he cut everyone's senses from your fight. He even blinded the divine beings, so whatever happened in that engagment, only you, Shadow, and Esta know about it."

"So... you're telling me you did not know about my fight? You couldn't feel it?"

"Yes and no. I knew something was off the moment your presence vanished. Sadly, I could do nothing about the situation. Divine beings have the power to manipulate the battlefield. If needed, they can make a fight become invisible to the entire world. Even if I was a few miles away, they can hide the presence of anyone that they are fighting against along with their own. I know that you could easily tear those orcs into bits once you use chaos magic... But you did not use it against those orcs. You used it on someone else. Someone that forced your hand." Leaning back on my chair, I force out a pitiful 'ha.'

"You are waaaaaay too observant." I complimented. She shrugs her shoulders.

"A champion must be wary of a lot of things. Esta was acting strange, so I took it upon myself to find the location that you were in. The others did not investigate the battleground, preoccupied with your other issue that night." Ignoring my blush, she continues, "What I found were the three orc bodies. I know of their tribe, or their faction, since they are new. They already earned a notorious reputation because of their armor. The battlefield you fought Shadow in is restored, but at the same time, I can sense death and damnation in the area. It is well hidden. Anyone who pass the area will not feel it, but if you are a champion, or at a very high rank, you can feel the eeriness scattered through the air."

"I swear," I can't fathom how some high beings are so observant, "You are all making me feel like an idiot or something."

"It takes experience." Abaddon Morrin replies, sipping her cup, "All of us were like you. Clueless, innocent, carefree... When you grow, when you gain battle experience, when you see the world as it truly is, then you end up doing a lot of things normal people wouldn't do. You have to be on guard nonstop, notice the small and big details around you, have to determine a person by glancing at them, even if you might be right or wrong about them, you change. And for the better." Her eyes seem to have drifted into some old memory or something, recounting on good or bad times. She notice my gaze, giving me a soft smile. "Cherish these young moments."

"I try to." I would if I can have it. I know that I should be serious about my development, but still, I feel like I haven't really... explored? I think I might take the time to go around the city or something. I am still recovering... from my trauma, I guess. "How come you're still around? Once again, I appreciate the help, but aren't you... busy? Like... shouldn't you be doing some important task? Why are you helping me?" She blinks at me, smiling again.

"I find it fun. Fun to spend time with a new champion who I want to know more about. You did kiss me after all- they have effects on people, you know." She winks at me as I turn my gaze for a split second. Her expression shifted into a cold stare though. "I do want to ask one thing though. How were you cursed by Valarie Valentine? And don't try to sugarcoat it- I can see through it." I start to heat up, confused about Abaddon Morrin's icy tone. Deciding to give her the full story now of what actual happened and who I am, since my story ties in with my identity, she taps her finger on the table, agitated.

"This is one complicated messed up story I ever heard." Abaddon Morrin bluntly confessed. "Your mom PURPOSELY set you up to experience utter demise and happiness? To traumatize you to the point where you become a demon and get stuck with Valarie's curse? I can see her reasoning, but a mother, regardless of her goals or actions, and her love especially, should not do that. Even I wouldn't do that despite my alignment to the dark. And Valarie... she was being nicer than usual? Unheard of!" As I watch Abaddon Morrin fume over my past history, I can see her being a lot more.. expressive. I mean, she is not like Alice, for sure, but is she mad for me?

"You don't like Valarie?" Abaddon Morrin gives me a look.

"She is not on friendly terms with the dark side, or anyone, as a matter of fact." Abaddon Morrin scratch her head, "There are a number of things she has done to both the light and dark side. Things that we really can't control. I mean, we are waging war with her to some extent, but Valarie is completely honest about the fact that she lets her faction do what they want... most of the time. Anything she deems bad, she cuts them off. Like if some soldiers decide to enslave people, she will most likely cut them off or kill them. It tends to be the first though, since she is a busy woman."

"What are your thoughts though?" She pause.

"Questionable. I don't trust her. I won't like her. I can tolerant her. I do admit to her talent, beauty even, and her power, but I will not open up to her that easily. I knew some good people who died against Valarie and her people." A bit worried, Abaddon Morrin gives an assuring smile.

"I won't hate you or dislike you because you know Valarie. Your alliance and your own agenda with her does not affect our relationship. Unless she does something unforgiveable, then we'll see." The last part of her sentence oozed with slight fury, but I don't blame her.

"That is something we do need to talk about." Gallant arrives with the food with Golem at his back. They knew that the magic was still in effect. "Most of the enemies you slain is in terms of self defense. Most families would not try to kill you, but the fact that you will kill... isn't something to be proud of. Especially when it comes to the world. When you are traveling around, venturing through this world."

"What do you mean?" I got a bad feeling about this lesson.

"Every death has an impact on you, good or bad." Abaddon Morrin started, "For example, if your mom died, a lot of people will go after the killers. The biggest ones would be Brynhild and Valarie. With that being said..."

"If I killed someone, someone might be coming after me."

"Yep." Golem confirms.

"This world is pretty scary." Gallant shudders a bit, "And... does she know about your powers now? I can only assume the magical field around us is for secrecy." Giving him a glance to how he figured it out, his answer was simple. "She's a champion. She can piece a lot of things together even with our say so. It was better for you to tell her about your predicament-"

"But you told the girls at the last second about my curse... And why was Esta in the picture. I feel REALLY bad about it." Huh, Esta... really shouldnt be around me. In the future, I am going to deal with dangers I never faced becore. Will she truly live a nice life with me? Gallant was chuckling nervously, having no explanation for it. Abaddon Morrin though, reading through my thoughts, asks, "Are you thinking about letting that elf go?"

"Something like that." I sigh, "Honestly, I cannot let her travel with me. Or be with me. I will be facing-"

"Ask her if she wants to leave your side." Abaddon Morrin warns, "Understand that you won her and saved her from a better fate. Letting her go... wouldn't end well."

"... she won't be safe at my side though." I tap my finger on the table, munching on the bread Gallant brought over, "I might have to ask my mom to watch over her." As I was on this thought, I forgot my siblings are still with me. Rather, they're in the city with us. The bread that was in my hands fell onto my plates, "What of my siblings?!"

"Oi, calm down." Gallant gently push me back to my seat, "They're safe. They were worried about your predicament, but we told them to rest easy. Jessica and Jennifer are a bit jumpy though." I sat back down as Gallant goes on, "Since we are on this topic, I do need to address something. When you were out for a few days, we picked up... disturbing information. Other than your younger siblings, what are your thoughts about your other brothers and sisters?" Chewing on the regular piece of bread, I pondered on the thought.

What did I think about my other brothers and sisters?

I do not like them- maybe some, but I am fairly sure I dislike the majority. They did not look at me as an equal or as a sister. Most of my brothers laughed at me, never acknowledged me. My sisters, ignored me, never consulted me or made any attempts to befriend me. My younger siblings look to me as a role model, someone they adore. Nathan admires my individualism, my sisters like my strong personality, whereas my baby siblings- obviously, they're babies. They like me cause... they're babies.

There could only be one reason why they would bring this up.

"They're in trouble, aren't they? Who and what are they facing?"

"Because of the incident and downfall of Emperor Titus, a lot of families, kings, queens, factions per say, have a burning hatred raging inside of them. These fools, knowing too well about Valarie's powers, will not threaten or fight her. BUT they won't mind chasing after your brothers and sisters. After the display of such foul play that provoked Valarie, they are going to hunt down your siblings and kill them. Several reports have been flying about stating various skirmishes against your family. Two of your siblings are within the vicinity. Your eldest sister, Louise, the shield general, and your brother, Caesar the Emperor. They are not together, separated by several armies that use to dawn Titus' flag. Although Louise has three armies on her." Noting my expression, he continues. "One of the armies is lead by General Mortis. He was one of the fine generals who lead Emperor Titus many armies. The other army is the same orcs you fought a few days ago, and lastly, a demon army is attacking them."

"And my brother?"

"He is fighting against two of Emperor Titus' former armies. The names of the generals are up in the air, but I doubt they are important." I sat there, contemplating. They should be fine? I know of Louise. She had been given the privilege to lead my father's armies to and fro. She has not been restrained by such invisible chains that I had. Then again, she did not object to her arranged marriage. Even if he was a douchebag or snob, she will do what she needs to do. She does not care about her love life, but she does care about her own means of fighting and serving my father and mother in some way. She has her sense of duty, making sure she completed the task at hand.

On the other hand, Caesar is ambitious and powerful. He is called the emperor for a reason. He has a strict command behind his army and his own ambitions. He wants to lead with his own power. He wants to do what he wants like any current emperor who has their own kingdom. Yet he brings courage and strength to any who listens to him. Honestly, out of all my brothers, he showed no dislike to me. Never mocked me, but he never praised me. He has a keen eye though. He can usually see through bluffs or secrets, if he deems it necessary, or if he wants to.

"How long ago is this?"

"We were going to tell you the day when you were knocked out. But it has been a few days. By the looks of things, they are treading on a thin line though. They're cornered, surrounded. I only bring this up because you might stumble upon such news." Better to hear it now than later.

"And what do you want me to do?"

"What do YOU want to do?" Gallant repeats my own question back at me, "We do not care about your other siblings. We have sworn an oath to serve you. No one else." I will have to think. I did not expect to bump into my older siblings. And hearing this, they are in trouble? Should I help them? Those two are capable, yet it seems like they do need help. I will have to give this a bit more thought. As I finished my piece of bread, I realized something.

"Demon army? There shouldn't be a wild demon army about, right Abaddon Morrin?" Demon armies are either wild or controlled. The dark side tends to use these armies as pawns. A wild demon army would attract a lot of attention and concern. Abaddon Morrin frowns at my question.

"It isn't a wild army. If it was, Len would have crushed it the moment they stepped into his lands. He does not take lightly to the true demonic horde."

"So who is controlling them? One of your guys?" Gallant seems a bit weary about Morrin's response.

"Can't say. Most of us have our own agendas. I have no idea on who is controlling the demon army attacking your sister." She turns her head with an arm under her chin. The gesture she has right now is odd. Usually, she talks to me face to face. With this slight action, she is looking away from me. Is she hiding something from me? Or she can't really say it? Either way, I do not press her for answers. Something else has caught my attention.

"And who are the orcs that I fought against? They are not tribal. Most orcs do not cover themselves in so much armor. Did they pick it up from humans or...?"

"Ironclawz clan." Abaddon Morrin shakes her head, "They did take a fancy to how humans wore so much armor, but their main reason is unknown. Even with our spies, we do not know how they acquire a unique... trait?" Questioning her last word, Gallant joins in.

"Ironclawz are a new orc threat. A bunch of factions acknowledge their power and existence. Anyone who knows about their nature will stay far away from these war fanatics. Unlike most orcs and goblins, wanting to rule the world, getting revenge, enslaving humans, and what not, these orcs just want to fight. They don't care about sides, they don't care about reasons or logic, if they want to join in a bloodbath, they will fight against everyone and anything."

War fanatics? More like insane idiots. Who would want to join in on a random fight and make everyone an enemy? Pressing onwards with the questions, I address this next point. Shadow muttered this when he killed them. "Those orcs have cursed armor. Are they the same armor as yours?" My two knights shook their heads.

"Armor. Different. Use. Some. Same. Materials." Golem stated.

"Cursed armor, universally, has the same effect on anyone who wears it- they cannot take if off once you put it on. The type of material used might be the same, but it will differ depending on certain factors."

"This also depends on the curse one has on their armor." Abaddon Morrin adds, "If we dissected this entire conversation around cursed armors, it will take the entire day. Or more, since there will be other topics that must be explained. All you need to know is that your knights have a higher grade of cursed armor that exceeds past the Ironclawz. Just know that most people will be unable to pierce through their armor unless you have a Souleater or cursed weapons."

"Or a weapon used out of the same material." Gallant added.

"Right. I killed an orc when I took one of their weapons." I wish I had it with me still. It would help me out if I ever bump into those armored clad orcs. Keeping a mental note on obtaining one of their weapons, I turn to Abaddon Morrin.

"Are they close by?"

"They are. They're northwest of Zezrious. They are at war with several other orc tribes that are trying to have some sort of dominance over those lands. Despite being outnumbered, the Ironclawz are not too worried about their own predicament." I guess I have to keep tabs on the other orc factions. With this information, I know how to take care of these orcs, however, I remembered something from our first engagement.

"Cursed armor can deflect magic?" I have no clue if it does or doesn't, but I'll get an answer. Gallant answers my question.

"Depends. The magic level of certain spells or one's affinity can penetrate through cursed armor depending on the armor's grade, type, and the curse itself. It is safe to say that if the opponent and the being in cursed armor are at the same rank, they will be able to deflect most of their magic. Unless it comes from a witch..."

"A witch?" I raised my eyebrow at that.

"Witches focus their craft and spells around hexes and curses. It is not a surprise that they can pose a huge threat towards a cursed being. They have ways around the cursed armor. One spell that a witch can use on a cursed being is [Insanity]. It will not work on all cursed beings, but this will depend on the user's intelligence. Using the Ironclawz, they excel well in their strength and vitality. However, their intelligence is not the best. Not saying that all orcs are dumb, but the majority have low intelligence. Being hit by the [Insanity] hex, most of the orcs will go into a frenzy. They will eventually kill themselves if they cannot lift the temporary hex." Gallant finished.

"Aeston, the other settlement nearby, is a deadly threat to the Ironclawz. The place is crawling with witches and other cursed beings that can end them. This is why the orcs do not attack Zezrious, Aeston, or Warrington.King Len is already notorious for his technological advances. With armor-piercing weapons, the cursed armor will not save them from a massacre. No clue about Warrington though, yet they are not defenseless if the orcs do attack them. They have some sort of countermeasures." Abaddon Morrin added. Listening to their explanations, I should have asked Alice what was her class. Her rank was impressive, telling me back then when I first met her or bumped into her, but I never asked what she was.

Fighting against that orc, Alice is a witch. I have no clue what type of witch and her specialties, but it does not change the sheer fact that I barely know the people who are traveling with me. Zoning out of the conversations Abaddon Morrin and my knights were having, I reflected heavily on my new life. The things I need to do. Not only do I have to change my fighting style, I need to learn more about the people around me. Sheltered as a princess, I do not know much about the world outside of the box I lived in. I do not know what my companions have went through, who they are, what they did- I know nothing.

And my goals?

Most of them are on the lines of getting stronger and bringing justice towards that one divine being. Another objective is to help my knights out and become their ruler. At the same time, I want to venture around the world and see everything that it has to offer. Good or bad. Yet, knowing all of this, I feel like something is missing. Something that is nagging me greatly. Unable to cope with my sudden irritation, I got up from the table.

"I will be taking my leave for now. Do not worry, I plan to stay in Zezrious for today. I need to see my siblings and go... shopping."

"Alright. Don't forget about Louise or Caesar. If you do want to save one of them, it will have to be this afternoon." Stopping at his words, I asked Gallant, "What do you mean 'save one of them?' Can't we save both of them? Especially if I have you two split off to save them?"

"I don't think it will be a good idea. Not when there's a Crusade where many, many warriors are seeking to join in on this." Abaddon Morrin started, "When you fight, you can either reveal yourself or don't. As a low ranking individual, you do not have to worry about such a thing. But demigods and above? They HAVE to worry about their presence being known. When you hit those ranks, people will pick a fight with you because they need to. Because they can. Leveling up gets harder and harder, so people will take whatever opportunity they can get if they can sense you."

"You already know about [Hidden Rank]," Gallant popped in, "The perk is handy if you do not reveal your full power. However, when one must use their full powers, then it will automatically deactivate [Hidden Rank]. As a lesser god, people will fight me if they are given the chance to do so..."

"And splitting you two up will endanger you." I finished. I... I will NEVER let my knights die from any foolish action of mine. I will not have another knight die on me! Not when I can stop it! Feeling some of my suppressed memories slip into my head, I force the images out of my head. Trying my best to contain my anger, I clenched my fists, holding the sorrow and anger at bay. Even if they are my brother and sister, I will not sacrifice one of my knights for them. They never aided me in my own problems, turning a blind eye, as I struggled to be who I wanted to be. What I wanted to do. Still, I cannot abandon them entirely. I might ask my siblings about them. They should know a lot more about Caesar and Louise better than me. Interrupting my thoughts, Golem quietly says, "You. Leader. We. Follow. No. Matter. What." I stared at the giant man, understanding his words.

Even if we advised against it, by your command, we will separate if we must. We will obey if you order it.

No. I will not separate them, no matter what. I will not risk one of my knights period. These words ooze out of my mouth, knowing full well that I cannot let this happen. "We will go together. We will not separate even if they are related to me by blood." Nodding at this, I let out a sigh.

"I will think about it then. I will come to you two when I have my answer." Excusing myself from the table, I leave the three to chat amongst themselves. As I head up the stairs, I rub at my head, sorting out all the things I need to do for today. Opening the doors to my room, I felt something around my body. Breaking out of my thoughts, Esta was cheerfully hugging me, nuzzling me now, giving me a warm, tingling sensation. Unable to resist the adorable elven face, I gave her a hug as well.

Great, I think I won't be able to think straight when I see Esta's adorable face.

"Totally not fair." Leilatha muttered.

"It's Esta. She can't be denied. Even I have a hard time breaking out of her gaze... or hug." Alice replied. Looking past Esta, I can see the Elven Tempest and the Witch in their respectful outfits. Alice, known for her fancy gowns, wore an outfit that definitely fit the witch theme. Colored in black, she has high knee boots stopping around her knees with stockings covering her legs. She has dark shorts underneath two smaller skirts that vary in length. The skirt at the front did not go past her upper thigh as the other one drifts down to her calves from behind. With dark laced gloves covering her fingers, they reach up to her elbow as she wore a tight button sweater. Engulfed in a corset, her figure seems more defined along with her breasts. A black laced choker wraps around her neck, her hair covering her left eye. Looking at her neck again, I notice that a necklace, something that wasn't there before, shines with a dark red ruby in the middle of it.

Leilatha, on the other hand, fits the rogue theme, yet there was a lot of beauty in her appearance. Wearing a tight black bodysuit, one can clearly tell that she is a female. I have no clue what material that suit was made out of, but it seems to be mystical in some way. Either way, there seems to be a dark blue color mixed in with the suit. It seems like a very thin paper like armor has been sewed around her chest region. Her arms are covered in gauntlets, showing a special design carved into her gauntlets. The sweater and pants reveal every inch of the elf's slim body feature. Having a cloth tied around her neck, she gives me a subtle smile. She tied her long blonde hair in a ponytail, showing her pointy ears. I wouldn't be surprised if an enemy will die because they had to gawk at her for a few seconds. At the very least, they'll die to a beautiful elven rogue. This random thought somehow annoyed me though.

"What's with the outfits?" I asked.

"We're going to be heading out in a bit. Leilatha wants to find the certain individual who placed a bounty on your head while I have a meeting to attend to." Alice answers.

"You're a witch?" Alice leans against a counter, arms behind her.

"Oh? How do you know? I think I was being subtle about it." Alice mused.

"The fight with the Ironclawz gave it away. They were avoiding your magic." I replied.

"Anyways, I need to talk to you three about-"

"""No.""" They said it at the same time. I blinked at their response. Did they know what I was going to say?

"I haven't-"

"I bet it's something along the lines of staying in your company and the dangers to come." Leilatha says, shaking her head, "Honestly, if you want to get rid of us now, it's a bit too late."

"I'm not leaving you." Esta stays this proudly, clinging onto me like her life depended on it. Stunned at how they knew I was going to discuss this, Alice cuts me off.

"We all joined you, knowing this. The moment I joined you was because I wanted to. The moment I have attended those banquets back in the days, I wanted to befriend you because you were interesting. A woman who stayed true to herself."

"I joined you because I wanted you. You already know my feelings about this subject." Leilatha stated, blushing a bit.

"I am staying because I love you." The other two gave Esta a baffled expression.

"You know... We all love you, but Esta... Why did you have to say it now?" Leilatha shakes her head.

"I thought the plan was to do it later... or something." Alice muttered. Blushing at their confession, I try to voice out my concerns. How did they know I was going to talk about their company with me? Reading my expression, Alice lets out a sigh. "Aisha... we understand the dangers. We know the risks, but we would rather be with you till the bitter end. We want be by your side, even if things go bad."

"And if you push us away, or try to run without us, we will catch up to you. No matter what, we will always catch up with you. That's our answer." Leilatha added.

"A-And I'll hug you so much that you can't escape me." Esta said, puffing her cheeks. These three...

Scratching my head, I let out a sigh of defeat. I guess that I can't deny their motives. I can't accept their love yet, maybe I can actually, but I need to know them a bit more. Well, I know about Esta's history and I have seen Leilatha's entire history, but I do not know anything about Alice. The sheer fact that she is a witch is one thing, but what type? And what is her occupation when it comes to her title? She must have some nobility in her. Only rich people could attend my banquets, so she must have some ties to someone. Showing my resignation, I stated this.

"Alright, I get it. I won't bring it up then. In exchange, I will want a date with each one of you." I might as well start building up my relationship with them. There was an awkward moment of silence though. Huh? Why are...

"... now? But... I... Ugh! You're horrible!" Leilatha is upset at this? How come? Isn't she suppose to- Wait, Alice is upset as well. No, she seems on the borderline of sad and frustrated. Furrowing her eyebrows, she curses under her breath in a language I can't understand.

"Huh? What's wrong?" I voiced out my concerns.

"You... We both made plans to do something important today. And I can't ju- we can't just change it. Why... Ugh! So unfair!" Leilatha said.

"We're going to punish you for this." Alice gives me a nasty glare, folding her arms, "You really owe us one."

"W-W-What?" I am greatly puzzled at this development. Esta doesn't seem bothered by it, still clinging onto me.

"Whatever. Let's go Alice." Pulling her her hood and mask, Leilatha covers her face as they both head towards the door. Or so I thought. Both of them come up beside me, giving a kiss on my cheek. Leilatha kissed my left, Alice on my right.

"I'm calling dibs on spending the entire day with you for tomorrow." Alice announced.

"... Cheater. Well, I don't mind waiting. Seems like you have Esta for the entire day. Take care you two." Exiting through the door, I just stood there like a tree. I didn't say goodbye or watch them leave. I guess all three of them are fine with... sharing me? Wait, wait, wait... Is it possible to have- No. It can't be. Is it?

I just realize that I have a harem now?

No- what...

Esta looks up at me, nuzzling against my chest.

"Master, please take care of me for today!" I could not avert my gaze from her pure happiness. I guess I am on a date with Esta for the entire day. Or most. I still have to address the issue with saving my siblings. Only one of them can live.

Wait... didn't I forget about something?

Gallant POV

I am glad that Aisha did not ask Abaddon Morrin for her assistance in helping her brother and sister. Being in a debt to an evil or good being can be troublesome. For one, they might use you for important matters that might get you in trouble with the other side. Spying on a city, taking care of someone- these favors can get someone in a very sticky situation. We have seen a couple of these incidents for ourselves when were participating in Crusades or Hell's Wrath. I am also glad that Aisha did not tell Golem and I to separate. A Crusade calls in a lot of individuals, but there was a creeping feeling that there might be some Death Knights in the area. Obviously, they will not show themselves, but I have sensed their presence when Golem and I took a few guild missions. They leave a hint of their magic in the air. I would go into details, but I will explain it at a later time.

Even if Abaddon Morrin is to be trusted, I would have no clue what favor she would ask of Aisha. As a champion, she can easily betray Aisha if her divine being says so. Unless the champions are under the same divine being, an alliance with other champions can be very tricky. It can either help or hurt you in the long run. For now, Abaddon Morrin is aiding us because she wants to.

Did Aisha avoid asking Abaddon Morrin for help because she might owe her something, or she just didn't ask Abaddon Morrin because she's a champion? An important individual who would not help her out. I will have to ask her about this later.

"Well, I guess that takes care of that. I just stopped by to see how the girl was doing. I am a bit puzzled to why you two serve under her. Especially when she was weaker than you... But that is something I won't address. Your call if you want to tell me, but I have to head back to the meetings. We are getting a couple of our armies here to fortify Zezrious. Bit hectic when Valarie is also harrassing our dimension and lands. Still surprised at the fact that Aisha met her and such. You two have a nice day." Getting up from the table, she waves at us. We remain seated, waving at her back. The moment she left the inn, Alice and Leilatha occupy the seats across from us.

"Going to your mother?" Unlike Aisha, who should have no clue about Alice's nobility, we know of Alice's occupation. We never brought it up to Aisha, since she never asked about it.

"Yeah." Alice scratches her head, "It has been a while since I talked to her. Knowing her, she will want to meet with Aisha and you two. I bet she will ask you about the details that involved the downfall of the Black Knights. She had some ties with other witch factions who had an alliance your former leader."

"You don't have to go to her if you don't want to." I said. Alice did tell us that she was going to visit her mother. For one, she still has to find a potential suitor. As a princess, she cannot ignore this duty. Her mother, being the queen that she is, will not let Alice walk away without a potential candidate. Secondly, Alice is to become stronger and find any source of information about the Black Knights. When she saw us at the banquets, she knew about our history. Not all of it, mind you, but she understands the signifcance of our existence and our alliance with most witches. She was going to ask us to go with her back to Aeston, but understanding our loyalties to Aisha, she would not persuade us or force us to leave Aisha's side. Conveniently, Aisha happens to be in Zezrious that is close to Aeston. So with that being said, we can obviously help Alice in her secondary objective. I do want to know if our old allies will side with us once more.

"I would say that we would accompany you, but we have to wait for Aisha's response to a dire situation." I stated. Alice gives me a puzzled look. I filled her in on the details, "Her brother and sister are within the vicinity. Because of her fight with those orcs, those two are in dire need of assistance. Under Aisha's command, we will most likely save one of them by this afternoon."

"If she makes that call." Leilatha interjected. I would have agreed with Leilatha, but knowing Aisha, she will try to save one of them due to her kind nature. Despite the lack of interactions with her older siblings, she will still save them. I highly doubt that she will split us up. I caught a glimpse of anger and pain in those eyes. The deaths of our brothers still affect our new leader. A sigh escapes my mouth, knowing that Aisha still clings to us. It can't be helped, but at the same time, she must move on when the time comes.

"She. Will." Golem says. He tilts his head at Leilatha, "Hunting?"

"Something like that. I have to hunt the person who placed a bounty on Aisha. It's pretty strange to have a bounty pop up out of nowhere the moment she enters the city. Do you two have any ideas to how this happened?"

Answering the elf's inquiry, I said, "There is a possibility that the former Imperial faction has sent multiple wanted posters on anyone of the Graham family. I wouldn't be surprised if Aisha was the only target."

"Ah, but that's where you're wrong." Leilatha corrected, "You see, the only Graham member I saw on that board was Aisha. I did not see any other names. If this was someone from the former Imperial faction, they would have placed the names of Aisha's younger siblings on that board. Yet, I saw no other Graham member. Isn't it weird that Aisha somehow became a target in the Underworld?"

I have to admit, this elf has a perceptive mind about these things. None of the Black Knights would know anything about the Underworld because we do not deal with criminals or any shady activities. I do understand some aspect of the Underworld, hearing it from the assassins we hired in the past. Leilatha did enlighten Golem and I about why she was with Aisha and how things came to be. Pretty much, she saw the wanted poster for Aisha the moment the princess entered Warrington. The Underworld operates in a very funny manner. From what Leilatha told us, they would usually place target posters of those who are actually wtihin the city. The sheer fact that Aisha's poster was up the moment she stepped into Warrington is awfully suspicious. This also means that someone is watching over us. No, specifically, someone is spying on Aisha.

And they also know about her true nature.

But who? Was there a spy on Valarie's end? Maybe. I know General X and her subordinates are trustworthy, but Valarie's faction, the majority of it, will most likely get revenge on Aisha for hurting their leader. During our trip to visit Amelia, I have a feeling that some of those individuals guarding us were not part of General X's elite group. They will hold a grudge to Aisha's outburst and hostility to Valarie. Why must Valarie have crazy fanatics under her command? Can't they have some self control?

Other than Valarie's faction, the only other possibility would be King Len and his elite soldiers. General X did warn me about how my sparring match with Aisha leaked out possible information on her hidden powers. I have no clue if any of Len's soldiers were within the vicinity, but if they were, they are a possible factor to this wanted poster. But I am not entirely sure if that is true. What would King Len gain from knowing this small little thing? And obviously, even if Aisha displayed a bit of her powers, it did not reveal the [Defeat Inheritor] or her chaos magic.

They must have spotted her when we enter Zezrious maybe? It can't be Abdul though, he does not have that sort of personality in him. He mirrors my own, to some extent, looking out for the girl. If it's a trick, then he is wasting his time trying to protect and befriend her. Ruling him out, this individual must be spying on her still. Highly doubt that Abaddon Morrin is doing it. Most likely, this spy is stalking Aisha when we're not around. I should guard her, but at the same time, she must handle herself and figure out who this spy is...

Unless this spy is extremely powerful. Realizing this, I need to speak to Abaddon Morrin about it. Wrapping up my thoughts, I only shake my head at Leilatha.

"Sadly, I have no clue to who it might be. I got a few theories, but they have no concrete proof." I do not openly state about my thoughts on this spy. If they are good at their job, they will most likely listen in on this converastion as well. Staying ignorant, I need to have a private talk wtih Golem about this.

"Pity. Looks like I might be in the Underworld for the entire day then." Leilatha leans against her chair, lamenting on her predicament. "Ugh, why does Esta get the first date? It could be one of us..."

"Stop complaining," Alice stated, but she seems moody it as well, "We have a job to do. Let's just finish it as soon as possible. We will be taking our leave." Bowing her head, the two stood up and head out. Golem and I wave at their backs. Taking a moment, I heard a piece of information I wish I didn't hear. At a nearby table, a group of adventurers are talking about a nearby Gate Guardian.

"Hey, do you know about the Gate Guardian guarding the gate to Hades?" a male started.

"Yeah? What about it?" another man said.

"Don't you think we can sneak past her? With this Cruade coming up, she should be slacking off? Right?"

"Are you nuts?!" exclaim a female, almost hissing at the male, "She wouldn't be slacking. She's a Gate Guardian. She will not let anyone through if they do not pass her test."

"Doesn't she have an army of sorts? I heard that she controls a bunch of demons." When the male said this, Golem and I looked at each other. No... this can't be a...

"I think she sent them off to do something. Unlike her army, she cannot leave her domain. From what I heard, she sends out her demonic armies so they can find a strong individual for her. The moment they find them, they will use some teleportation scroll and force their target to her." Another woman responded.

"Wait, isn't the Gate Guardian a vampire? Like a renowned vampire of old?" a male spoke up, his voice shaking.

"Yeah... Charlotte the Crimson Overlord."

Shit.
