Chapter 260: What Lies Ahead



Deep into the night while everyone had already fallen asleep, Regalia laid on Raven's chest, her hands tracing his every muscle. With a hum she listened to his heart, her lips panting and her ass leaking his viscous cum. The duo had already made love for hours upon hours, and despite that the wolf-girl's need for attention was yet to be fulfilled.

"Hero hero hero..." Shaking her head against his chest, she lightly bit on his neck hard enough to let her canines sink in. As she drew them back with a sigh, the warlock demi looked into his eyes with a bittersweet sense of longing. "If you weren't 'mister hero' then you could've stayed here with me, right?"

With a brief pause, she squinted her eyes before licking the blow from her bite and moving on to nibble on his ears for a bit. A chuckle left Raven's lips as he felt his nerves tingling, and joining him in his laughs, Regalia slipped something important to capture his true emotions.

"Would you stay with me if you didn't have to go?" Her question killed the joy of the moment and shadowed it with shock and doubt.

It took Raven a moment to figure out what the question meant to her, and without a doubt the one thing that came to his mind first was her gauging how much he loved her. Moving his hand on her hair, smiling, he brushed it for a few seconds until the wolf-girl began purring like a kitty.

"If I could I would, no doubt about it," holding himself to love every one of his girls the same was a struggle for sure, but even someone as nefarious as him knew that it wasn't just about their bodies but the heart of the relationship as well. "Although, the others are already jealous of you so I might catch a beating or two if you hog me all to yourself."

Glancing around at the others with a chuckle, Raven felt thankful that everyone except him and Regalia was asleep and hadn't heard what he'd said. He intended to give them each some time alone with him–throughout which he would dote on them just as much he had on Regalia so far.

However, once they were up no more time was wasted before making their way to the castle. Getting ready as quickly as they could, both Raven and Regalia led the group out of the inn. From there the demi-wolf took over the carriage that she'd come to the inn in last night. The others stayed inside the wagon with the coachman's window left open to talk to her about some queries.

"What's next to Elenaris?" Glancing back from over her shoulder, the demi-wolf mused over Mel's question for a while. "Why? Didn't you see when you came down from the train? It's the surface of the nine hells, the Infernal Ocean, that's what's next."

Everyone's faces paled at the mention of hell, and why wouldn't it, only the dead were invited there. And from experiencing the imps and devils through their own abilities, neither Amedith nor Erika were too fond about charting the sea. Noticing the looks of worry on everyone, however, Regalia decided to ease their heart with reassurance a little.

"It's not unheard of to sail through the ocean, I had to do it quite often about a hundred years ago when we were still struggling with a small island kingdom," thinking back on her time at war, Regalia realized that what was about to say wasn't exactly gonna inspire confidence. "The place sank; at the hand of a titanic creation lurking in the hell waters.

Not to mention the water is said to be the tears of lost sailors forever wandering in an undying search for land, even though their flesh has decayed centuries ago from the sulfur in the gust of their watery prison."

Cringing more and more as she informed the party more, Regalia looked back again and saw everyone just glaring at her with an upset look in their eyes.

"Uhmm...I should stop talking, ahaha..." And with an awkward laugh, she did.
