Chapter 63: What is it, Honey Bun?

"You know why? Because if it wasn't for Hon- Kaisen-kun, then I wouldn't have woken up at all. If it wasn't for Kaisen-kun, then you wouldn't have even thought about the Morning Fox.

"If it wasn't for him, then I wouldn't have found you, and... and more importantly, without his help, both you and me would've been dead."

Alice declared, her voice firm as she stared at Lloyd with fire in her eyes.

She was like a mama bear protecting her cub, except her cub was Kaisen, and Lloyd was the unlucky camper who stumbled into her den.

'Yes, go my dear. Burn him more.'

Kaisen secretly snickered.

"Dead?"

Lloyd asked, his eyes also burning. She was belittling him in front of Elfie-san and Sable-san.

That was unacceptable, even if she was his girlfriend.

"Yes. Dead. Accept it, Lloyd-san. He's smarter than anyone here. Heck, he even got us two veteran knights to teach us all, and you're still ungrateful enough to undermine him. Grow up, Lloyd-san. Kaisen-kun is better than you."

Alice's words cut through the tension like a sword through butter, leaving Lloyd speechless and red-faced.

He was not going to sit here and listen to this woman belittle him.

"Now you listen here, wom--"

"That's enough. The journey hasn't even started yet, and you guys are having an argument already."

Maximus interjected, fed up with their behavior.

Lloyd's retort was cut off so abruptly, it was as if Maximus had pulled the plug on his vocal cords.

His mouth hung open for a moment before he closed it with an audible click, realizing he'd been outplayed by the voice of reason.

"I agree with Maxi. Kaisen-kun will be on the team. He's the reason the Queen even invited you guys, and without the invitation, we wouldn't even be here."

Sable chimed in, her face now stern as she glared at Alwyn and Lloyd.

She, too, was fed up with the skirmish.

Lloyd and Alwyn exchanged a glance, realizing they were outnumbered and outmaneuvered.

It seemed like the decision was made, whether they liked it or not.

"Like it or not, Kaisen-kun will be on the party. If you're not comfortable, you can leave this party. Me, Maxi, Alice-san, and Kaisen-kun will be more than enough to defeat the Night Shade. So, you decide."

Sable declared, her tone firm and decisive.

Her hair was sprawled everywhere, some strands covering her beautiful face and some draped over Kaisen's bare chest.

Naked skin against naked skin.

They had been at it all night.

Multiple times.

Like, an absurd number of times.

Every time Alice climaxed, she pounced on Kaisen like a beast.

She needed him inside her, and so she rode him again and again until both of them couldn't move anymore.

"Excited for the journey, my sweet?"

Kaisen whispered, planting a tender kiss on Alice's forehead as he gently ran his fingers through her smooth, long orange locks.

"Mmm... definitely. I was a bit worried before, but with the knights by our side, I don't think there's anything to worry about anymore."

Alice murmured contentedly, snuggling closer to him.

She rubbed her face against his chest, peppering it with kisses before teasingly nibbling on his nipple, earning a chuckle from him.

"Definitely. But it's gonna be hard for me not to jump you every time I see you riding that horse."

He admitted, giving her round butt cheek a playful pat, causing it to jiggle slightly.

Whenever he caught sight of the busty healer's assets, he couldn't help but feel an overwhelming desire to ravage her passionately.

Alice giggled at his admission, enjoying the feeling of being desired by him.

"Well, we could always sneak away at night, or maybe find a quiet spot in the bushes during breaks."

She suggested, her gaze fixed on his face as her hand ventured downward toward his member.

Though still flaccid, she didn't hesitate to start teasing it.

"Sounds... good, yeah."

He responded, but she suddenly sensed that something was off with him.

Something was bothering her Honey bun, and she quickly became aware that he was trying hard not to show it to her.

"Honey bun, what's wrong?"

She asked, her voice filled with concern as she gently cupped his face in her hands.

'It's time to sow the seeds. To make sure no-fucking-body touches my property.'
