Chapter 8: Parade Of Heroes

"You did a good job, didn't you?" I said, genuinely impressed by the thoroughness of Khione's cleaning.

Khione stood up, stepping back and wiping her mouth with a look of disgust.

"Is that really your first time?" I asked, unable to suppress a laugh at her reaction.

Khione shot me a glare in response.

"Relax, it's just a compliment. I'm genuinely impressed. It's your first time licking someone's dick, and it's my first time being licked by a woman. We're even," I reassured her.

Honestly, I couldn't have asked for a better first cock-sucking. After all, the person performing it was a Goddess with divine beauty.

Khione turned and began to walk away, and I followed suit.

"Well, I think we both need fresh clothes. I'm counting on you again, Khione," I said with a smirk.

I could sense Khione's burning desire for one thing right now: killing me.

Such is life, Khione.

If only you had kindly given me a powerful Skill Book and weapons without that condescending gaze, perhaps I would have reconsidered my target.

But alas, I'm petty like that.

As I walked behind her in the hallway, I couldn't help but notice her amazing figure.

Damn!

She appeared to be a young man in her early twenties, her physique sculpted to perfection with curves that accentuated her femininity. Her breasts were modest yet shapely, complemented by a generous posterior that strained against the confines of her white dress.

Despite my desire to indulge in her immediately, there were more pressing matters at hand.

We arrived at a peculiar room, which Khione promptly opened.

"Choose your clothes here," she said, preparing to leave, but I caught hold of her arm.

"Where are you going?" I asked, refusing to let her out of my sight.

"I have to prepare myself," Khione replied curtly.

"Don't leave my sight," I insisted, locking eyes with her.

Khione shot me a glance that spoke volumes about her feelings towards me before reluctantly re-entering the room.

The space was dominated by a long dressing table that spanned the entire length of the room, with clothes strewn about haphazardly on the floor and scattered across various surfaces.

"Um, no reason, I just like it," I deflected, not wanting her to see my now snow-white hair.

"Hmm? And what's with your eyelashes..." she started again, her gaze lingering on me.

"We should depart now. The Royal family awaits all the Heroes," Khione intervened, saving me from further scrutiny.

By the way, she looked stunning in that green and white dress, much like my step-sisters, Aisha, Gwen, and Courtney.

With my newly acquired Divine-Ranked Skill, I could easily bend them to my will...

But I dismissed that notion.

None of them had done enough to earn enslavement, and besides, I preferred the challenge of winning them over on my own terms, if possible.

The knights formed a protective circle around us as we made our way toward the parade.

From a distance, the sounds of drums and cheers filled the air, accompanied by the vibrant hues of flowers and confetti raining down upon us. The residents of the capital lined the streets, their jubilant welcomes echoing all around.

Amidst the throng, Jason and the girls garnered the most attention, their presence drawing admiring gazes from both genders.

Yet, towering above all, was the Goddess herself.

"Goddess Khione!"

"Bless us!"

"Thank you!"

Khione graciously acknowledged the adoration with a wave of her hand and a gentle smile, her ability to remain composed was very praiseworthy after what happened.

As we approached the grand castle, two figures in armor awaited us at the entrance.

"I am Oscar, a Commander of the Empire, serving the Emperor," announced the tall, handsome man.

"And I am Cecilia, also a Commander of the Empire," added the striking woman with fiery red hair and captivating green eyes.

Her red hair, even redder than any seen on Earth, and undeniable beauty captured the attention of everyone present.

"We will escort you to the Emperor. Please, follow us," they both beckoned, leading the way with a nod of respect and reverence toward Khione.

The castle's interior was as opulent as those seen in other European nations, but it had the added sense of life because actual residents were there.

As we passed through the hallways, there were knights, butlers, and maids who bent their heads before us.

I could see Jason and Oscar talking in the front, and Cecilia and Ms. Amelia. He was definitely immersed in his heroic work.

Two imposing soldiers met us at the enormously elaborate door and nodded before swinging open the doors that led to the royal hall.
