Chapter 117: Feast – Part 3
"That could've gone so much worse," I state through [Bind].
But Yunia sincerely disagrees, "He already got us to admit to being involved with the Innocent Nymph, so the nobles will be quite a bit more distrustful of us, fearing the reason why we were apparently targeted. Things could've only gone worse if he actually attacked us and we were forced to kill him."
Well, shit. I guess we won't be able to get the nobles on our side just yet. Thankfully, we have someone like Ereia looking out for us.
But Yunia again has something to say about that, "Why didn't she warn us about Pedoro? She came in right at the perfect time, too, allowing herself to look good by keeping him from going fully unhinged and attacking us, so I have my suspicions of her. She's known for being a rather scheming sort of person, anyway."
And Ciel becomes miffed with Yunia's suspicion, "Aren't you being unfair? How would she know that Pedoro would act like that? She might've had her suspicions and kept them to herself to not bother us with meaningless intrigue. Ereia is your friend, too."
Yunia's mistrust takes a hit, and she feels a bit ashamed for doubting Ereia like that after she clearly tried to help us.
"Someone told Pedoro that we, or rather, you and the others, were the survivors and that you saw the heretics cast [Meteor], so I'm simply maintaining a certain level of distrust for everything," she explains as she restrains her emotions a bit.
I find Heart Lord Ira and his wife among the guests, and my mind immediately goes to the rest of the Heart Lords. They have enough power that it's possible that they acquired this sort of information and passed it on to the resentful and grieving Pedoro.
The party starts to pick up in intensity, so we leave the discussions about scheming for later. There are guests to entertain, so we need to focus on the now.
Intermission – Lina
The crisis has been resolved, though it seems it didn't end as well as it looks, but for now, everyone tries their best to forget what just happened, and so, the time has come to "socialize," as Wolfy would say.
I take a look around me and start to feel dizzy at the large number of people talking excitedly with each other, making me think that I'd be more relaxed facing a monster army than being at this party.
I need to be courageous and talk to people. I can't become a reclusive Lord, not when Wolfy is working so hard to play his part.
I find some comfort in knowing that Wolfy would rather stay on our bed with me on his lap than spend his evening here, talking to sycophants and schemers whose respect for him only goes as deep as the thickness of their masks.
Just imagining the warmth of his lap as I make myself comfortable on it, the strength of his hug as his shiny draconic arms wrap around me, the hardness of his cock as it grows and presses against my lips... I begin to lose myself in fantasies and almost zone out.
Not good. I need to keep up appearances, so I need to find someone to talk to!
But I know no one.
I could stay with Wolfy like Alissa always does, but she also helps him a lot while I'd just be silent all the time, too stiff to contribute to the subtle verbal jousting the elven nobles like to employ.
I see the twins, Yunia's brothers, who should be around my age, but they're surrounded by other, rough-looking boys (for elves), so I shudder when I think of the social disaster that'd happen if I tried to make conversation with them.
I see Kaatohe and Oritiki, but I feel too intimidated by both of them to join their conversation. Maybe I could act adorable and find a way to get Oritiki to hug me, but I'd feel guilty about using her for such a thing since she seems so loyal to her husbands.
Except for Shala, none of the nice maids are here because Wolfy didn't allow them to participate, but I don't think I should spend the entire party with the servants, either.
Roxanne is joking with other mages, Hana is being fawned over by the dragon or lizard-like Chimeras, Ciel is giving advice and guidance to the parents and children, Aoi is listening to the warriors bragging to her, and Yunia is having a subtle war with the other elven nobles. Everyone has their specialty, while I'm still feeling lost.
Oh. My. Gods! I'm going to make myself go insane with all this whining!
I groan internally, but my feet still don't move, then my eyes meet with Silvina's, and her gentle smile makes me swallow heavily.
She's a thin woman who's taller than Hana and almost as thin as Aoi, though her back shows the hint of muscles that would be expected for an archer. Her face is a prime example of elven grace, but she has a motherly air that's very similar to Armanpoosh's.
Ciel also has a faint, motherly air, but her gentle and kind aura (which Wolfy also calls "angelic") is much more prominent.
I feel instantly drawn towards Silvina, and my feet move on their own towards her.
"Your Highness Lina," she greets softly with a nod.
I stop before her and strain my neck to look up to her, so she sits down on a chair and offers another to me so that our heads level out a bit.
"Madame Silvina," I remember to greet her back while I sit down.
"I see that you aren't the boisterous type of person that enjoys this kind of event," she calmly comments with a slightly teasing tone.
"Well, same goes for you," I reply with a pout, but I quickly force myself to become impassive again.
She chuckles softly and rests her head on her palm, reaching true eye level with me. "I actually am enjoying this feast. The music, the food, and the atmosphere are nice. It's just that I don't talk much."
I hum softly, "Hm... I prefer the quiet, or at most, some soothing music."
She turns her beautiful green eyes away and finds Wolfy among the crowd. "I assume His Highness Wolf is also like that."
I nod and look down at my own sandals. Wolfy painted my nails light blue so that they match my clothes, but they're a bit too bright for me, so I think I'll ask him to paint them dark red next. "He is. He's just enduring this as part of his duty."
She turns back to me and tilts her head, making her charming elven ears bounce softly. "Oh...? Is it truly that much of an ordeal for the two of you to participate in a feast?"
I frown and awkwardly look away for a moment as I feel my cheeks become warmer. "Well... we're just a bit particular with how we prefer to spend our rest time. We are quite busy during the day, so we're allowed to desire activities that give us the most pleasure, no?"
She blinks twice, still staring intently at me, and curiously asks, "So you're saying that a feast is pleasurable, just not enough?"
I smile wryly. "Honestly, it feels more like work than leisure."
She straightens her back and gracefully takes a glass from a passing maid. "How curious. I can't say that I relate, but I sympathize with your struggle. It's necessary for the nobles to know and interact with the Lords since we'll be putting our lives in your hands, so I can understand how you could see this as 'work.'"
I nod and signal for the maid to give me something stronger. The elven alcohol is just too watered down for my throat. "Yes, we know that it's necessary, which is why we're here without complaining, but we won't lie about our enjoyment of it."
She smiles warmly, and her motherly aura makes my heart tighten. I know very well why Wolfy wants to bed this woman so badly. "Then, if you'll have me, I'll aid you in getting through this as painlessly as possible," she kindly offers, and I silently nod in response. "So, are you a listener or a talker?"
I smile embarrassedly and confess, "I-I don't know... I've done both, though I've certainly listened more than I've talked."
She leans back in her seat as she relaxes and takes a sip. "How about you do something new for a change?" She suggests with a subtle smile.
I raise my head up to her and narrow my eyes in confusion. "But what should I talk about?"
She softly shrugs. "Anything you want."
And I chuckle. "I hope you like books."
"Who doesn't...? No, silly question... of course there are those who ignore free 'Wisdom' and 'Intelligence' for reasons unknown to me," she lets her elven snobbishness appear for a second.
I casually retort, "It's hard for those sorts of people to gain anything from books if they don't enjoy reading, to begin with."
And she gives me an intriguing look as she suggests, "Many things can be learned to be enjoyed, so what if we taught them how to enjoy reading?"
That sounds like something Wolfy would say.
"I didn't know you were interested in such topics," I sincerely admit.
She smiles faintly as she looks towards the party. "Our society won't improve if we don't try to push beyond our duties."
They stiffen and stop moving, refusing to get off, but I'm quite happy to wait for them to come back to reality on their own, so I just observe them and notice their pussies getting warmer. The elven obsession with thin bikinis just makes this that much easier for me.
Lips swallows heavily, her left hand gripping the muscular tip of my tail quite strongly, then she shares a look with Tits. "Your Highness is truly someone that we shouldn't underestimate," she cryptically states as she slowly strokes me, though more so as a warning to Tits than as praise for me.
I nod and counter with my own vague remark, "If only others had realized the same thing sooner, there'd be so many people still alive... and a few less broken hearts."
They both chuckle and get off my tail.
"You're true to your draconic side, Your Highness. There's nothing dull about you," Tits gently affirms, her red eyes staring into mine with the growing fires of lust.
I hum and slide my tail along their lower backs as I pull it back. "Literally," I add with a smirk, and they both chuckle again.
"Indeed," Lips coos and subtly licks her juicy lips.
I take every chance I can to touch them and apply my spirit touch, increasing their arousal so much that visible wet spots appear on their panties, but I successfully maintain my distance, never going further than innocent touching, and I properly rebuff all of their advances, even after they've stopped trying to manipulate me.
Once the "ordeal" (as Lina would say) is finally over, I grab Hana and fuck her repeatedly until the dragon is satisfied. Teasing the two scheming noblewomen was a success, but it also made me get a bit pent up from seeing all the signs of their arousal while not actually being able to bury my cock in them because of my principles.
Today is the 26th, Ekt, day of Electricity. Nothing particularly special happens today since most commoners have no idea what the fuck electricity even does, and it's not like we use electric power anyway, so there's little that's actually affected aside from the Thunderplains and traveling.
Even Electric mages don't really know what the fuck electricity truly is since the most useful spells, such as [Dead End] and [Rush], aren't exactly 100% related to electricity.
Yunia wakes me up as she seems quite happy about how we handled the Troupe yesterday. Their families will get mansions in the outer circle in exchange for their loyalty, and that makes her quite happy with how our relations with the nobles are progressing, so my Queen decides to reward me with a sensual blowjob while I stare into her striking, blue eyes and savor her sublime beauty.
I'm still a bit emotionally tired from yesterday, and since Kaatohe is here with us again, I feel like starting an orgy with my entire harem.
"Fuck yeah, I want to fuck everyone!" Hana exclaims and pulls both Roxanne and Klein towards her breasts.
I activate an enchantment to call for a maid.
"Bring Poosh, Hukarere, and Iliada to me. I want to have an orgy with all of my women," I order, and the quickly blushing maid hurries out.
It's time for the Female Heaven Relaxation Course. The dragon in me is certainly excited about drowning in pussy and breasts.
