Chapter 68: You should sleep well tonight +18
You maintain the steady rhythm as Lisara continues riding you, her inner walls growing increasingly slick with arousal. Her breathing has deepened into soft gasps punctuating each downward slide, brown eyes half-lidded with building pleasure. You keep one hand firm on her hip while the other traces patterns along her lower back.
"It's not the force you witnessed in your timeline, is it?" you ask clearly, directing the question toward where Alicia sits in the armchair.
Alicia's violet eyes meet yours with visible consideration before responding. Her platinum hair catches lamplight as she leans forward fractionally. "No, my lord. What Vult's mercenaries did to us in that erased timeline carried hatred and contempt. They wanted to break us, to humiliate warrior women who dared fight back. There was no consideration for our response, no care whether we felt anything beyond pain and degradation."
Prim nods once from her position beside the princess, pink twin-tails shifting with the motion. "They laughed when we cried. They mocked our pleas. The violation was designed to destroy our dignity along with our bodies."
"Exactly correct," you confirm, pulling Lisara down harder onto your shaft. She gasps sharply at the increased intensity but maintains her rhythm without breaking. "What you're witnessing here is consensual intimacy. Lisara serves willingly. She experiences genuine pleasure rather than enduring assault."
Lisara's breathing has grown ragged now, her movements becoming slightly erratic as climax approaches. Small sounds escape her throat with each penetration, genuine expressions of building ecstasy rather than performed moans. Her inner walls clench rhythmically around your length.
"I can see the difference," Alicia says quietly. "Her body responds naturally. Her face shows pleasure rather than violation trauma. Even though she's completely vulnerable before witnesses, she maintains dignity rather than having it stripped away by force."
"Yes," Prim adds, green eyes tracking the steady rhythm. "The power dynamic flows clearly from master to servant, but space exists within that structure for her authentic experience. You control the situation yet allow her genuine response rather than demanding compliance."
Lisara crests suddenly with sharp cry, orgasm crashing through her exhausted body with shuddering intensity. Her thighs tremble violently around your hips as she convulses, inner muscles clenching hard around your shaft in rhythmic pulses. You hold her steady through the waves until she collapses forward onto your chest, boneless and gasping.
You allow her five deep breaths before gently lifting her slowly off your length. She makes small sound of protest at the separation but lacks energy to resist. You stand smoothly, cradling her against your chest as her brown eyes drift closed with immediate exhaustion.
"I'm putting Lisara to bed now," you state clearly for the two observers. "When I return, we'll discuss your observations further and establish expectations for your own integration into household service."
Alicia and Prim both nod acknowledgment, their expressions carrying mixture of analytical assessment and carefully controlled trepidation about what household integration will eventually require of them.
You carry Lisara's limp form upstairs to her bedroom, her brown hair trailing across your arm as her breathing settles into deep unconscious rhythm. The room carries her personal touches: carpenter's tools replicated from her father arranged on a shelf, simple clothing folded neatly, a desk with accounting ledgers for managing Carne Manor's supplies. You lay her naked beneath clean linen sheets, brushing hair from her face before returning to the common room.
Alicia and Prim watch your descent with visible attention, their postures carrying mixture of anticipation and carefully controlled wariness. Alicia remains in the armchair, platinum hair catching lamplight, while Prim stands beside her princess with protective instinct tempered by pragmatic acceptance.
"You're likely both focused on Lisara's show," you begin quietly, "so let me remind you that she and Enri joined my service on the same day. Enri chose to remain virgin. You remember the example she was asked to give, yes?"
Alicia nods once, violet eyes meeting yours directly. "I remember. She described the oral pleasure you give her, how you make her climax without penetration."
"Only described?" You tease as you step deeper into the room, hands clasped loosely before you. "Someday I might push Enri. For now, though, I'm enjoying the virgin treatment I can give her. I'll offer the same to the two of you. You can remove your panties and ask to stay virgin. If I allow you to keep your purity will be my choice, or you can ask to be claimed fully. Regardless, it's my choice if I allow you to shatter your innocence. The choice is yours."
Prim's green eyes flicker toward Alicia before returning to you. "We can decline full claiming?"
"You can request it," you clarify. "I decide whether your virginity remains intact or not. But you can express your preference."
Alicia's shoulders relax fractionally at this confirmation. She exchanges three seconds of wordless communication with Prim through micro-expressions before speaking. "I would prefer to preserve my virginity for now, my lord. If you're willing to allow it."
Prim nods agreement immediately. "The same for me. I request preservation of my innocence until you decide otherwise."
"Good choices." You gesture toward the couch where Lisara rode you minutes ago. "So you've both chosen to keep your purity for now. Would you like to have a show like Enri did earlier, or would you like to be put to sleep?"
Alicia's cheeks flush faintly as she processes the explicit options. She glances at Prim again before responding carefully. "I would prefer being put to sleep, my lord. Today has been exhausting emotionally, and I need rest to process everything that's happened."
Prim speaks immediately after. "I share that preference. A show would be fascinating to observe, but I'm depleted from the timeline erasure and integration into this household."
Their tired honesty carries weight. Both women sit with shoulders carrying visible tension despite their earlier relaxation during Lisara's demonstration. The trauma of remembered violation timelines, even dulled by memory modification, has drained them thoroughly.
You gesture toward the hallway. "Show me to your room, Alicia."
Alicia rises from the armchair with fluid grace despite visible exhaustion, blonde hair catching lamplight as she moves toward the stairs. Prim follows automatically, pink twin-tails swaying with each step, her protective instincts keeping her close to her princess even now. The three of you ascend in silence broken only by the soft creak of polished oak beneath your boots.
Alicia's assigned room carries minimal personal touches thus far, a walk in closet contains replicas of her homes armor and weapons. She stops beside the bed and turns to face you, violet eyes meeting yours with mixture of anticipation and carefully controlled wariness.
"You should sleep well tonight," you state quietly. "We have a busy morning ahead."
You reach for the ornate clasps holding her blue bikini armor top in place. Alicia's breathing quickens fractionally but she doesn't resist as you unfasten the metal pieces and lift them away. Her breasts are exposed beneath, pale skin unmarked, nipples hardening from attention and cooler air. You set the armor carefully aside before cupping her face between both hands.
The kiss begins slowly. Your mouth captures hers with gently rather than demanding. Alicia responds after three heartbeats, lips parting to allow your tongue entry. She tastes of dinner herbs and exhaustion and something uniquely her own. You let her control the pace, matching her rhythm rather than imposing your own. Her hands grip your shoulders for balance as the kiss deepens gradually.
She breaks contact after perhaps thirty seconds, pulling back with flushed cheeks and quickened breathing. Her violet eyes search your face with visible confusion about what comes next.
You raise one hand before she can speak. "[Rejuvenating Slumber]."
Forest green light traces across Alicia's exposed torso, settling into her skin like morning frost. Her eyes widen with surprise before her body sways with immediate drowsiness. You catch her gently and guide her onto the bed, arranging her properly before pulling the sheets up to cover her half-naked form. Her blonde hair fans across the pillow as her eyes drift closed, the spell ensuring restorative sleep despite emotional depletion.
Prim watches this sequence with visible attention from the doorway. Her green eyes flicker between you and her sleeping princess, processing implications.
"Exhaustion is a poor state for your first experience," you state simply, answering the unspoken question in her posture. "Show me to your room."
Prim leads you three doors down the hallway to her own assigned quarters. Like Alicia's space, it carries minimal personalization thus far with a walk in closet-armory. She stops beside the bed and turns to face you with mixture of relief and residual tension.
You reach for the ties holding her frilled white-pink gown together. The fabric releases easily, allowing you to slide the garment down her body in one smooth motion. Her slender frame is revealed beneath, large breasts exposed, pink panties the only remaining coverage. You step closer and capture her mouth in a slow kiss.
Prim responds with submission, letting you guide the pace this time rather than asserting control. Her lips part willingly, tongue meeting yours with gentle pressure. The kiss carries less hesitance than Alicia's, her body leaning into yours with acceptance rather than wariness. You can taste faint traces of dinner and a particular sweetness.
You break the kiss after perhaps twenty seconds and raise one hand. "[Rejuvenating Slumber]."
The same forest green light traces across Prim's nearly naked body. Her green eyes widen before drowsiness claims her completely. You catch her as she sways and guide her onto the bed, tucking her carefully beneath the sheets. Her pink twin-tails spread across the pillow as the spell takes full effect.
You extinguish both lamps with gestures before stepping into the hallway, closing doors softly behind you.
You step through the silver-edged portal in Carne Manor's main hall, reality folding around you before releasing you into Nazarick's throne room. The vast chamber stretches empty around you, lamplight casting long shadows across polished obsidian floors. You cross directly to the passage leading down to the 600th floor civilization level, your boots echoing in the silence.
The descent takes only moments through shortcuts. When you emerge onto the 600th floor, you stand before two massive archways side by side. The left pulses with warm golden light, marking the entrance to Celestine's Light Elven Haven. The right emanates cool violet radiance, the gateway to Aura and Mare's Dark Elven territory. You step through the violet arch without hesitation.
The transition deposits you inside the Dark Haven's Gateway Citadel, a structure of black stone and silver filigree rising from dark purple grasslands beneath a twilight sky. The architecture blends elven elegance with gothic severity, towers spiraling upward while carved reliefs of hunting scenes decorate the walls. Through tall windows you can see the World Tree in the distance, its trunk midnight blue with leaves that shimmer silver and violet.
Aura stands in the citadel's entrance hall speaking with a dark elf woman wearing leather hunting gear. The beast tamer turns at your arrival, heterochromatic eyes lighting up with immediate pleasure. Her brown skin gleams in the perpetual dusk light filtering through stained glass windows, blonde hair in its characteristic side ponytail.
"Lord Blank!" Aura exclaims, immediately abandoning her conversation to approach you. "I wasn't expecting you tonight. Mare is upstairs showing Olga and Chloe the residential quarters we prepared for the Kuroinu refugees."
The dark elf woman Aura was speaking with bows respectfully before withdrawing deeper into the citadel. You notice she wears the practical clothing of a hunter rather than the revealing garments some dark elves from Kuroinu favor.
"How are things progressing here?" you ask as Aura reaches you, her enthusiasm palpable in every movement.
"Really well, actually," Aura responds, gesturing around the hall. "The Kuroinu dark elves are adapting faster than I expected. Many of them spent their lives under Queen Olga's rule anyway, so transitioning to my and Mare's authority felt natural. The human refugees are housed in the eastern wing, which we've modified to feel less intimidating than pure dark elf architecture."
She pauses, tilting her head with slight frown. "Olga has been helpful but also clearly calculating her position in the hierarchy. She keeps asking about governance structures and what authority she retains over her former subjects. Chloe mostly stays quiet, processing her religious crisis."
Footsteps echo from the grand staircase dominating the hall's far side. Mare descends first, violet eyes widening with shy pleasure when he spots you. Her dark elf appearance mirrors his sister's brown skin and pointed ears, though her green hair with white streak distinguishes him immediately. Behind him come Olga and Chloe, the former's violet eyes sharpening with interest while the latter's blue gaze remains downcast.
"My lord," Mare says softly as she reaches the bottom of the stairs, hands clasped before her in his characteristic nervous posture. "We were just finishing the residential tour. Would you like to see what we've arranged?"
You hold up one hand before Mare can finish her invitation to tour the residential quarters. Your gaze shifts to Olga and Chloe standing behind her on the stairs.
"Before that, there's something I need to address," you state clearly. "Olga, Chloe, I've determined that the Temporal Manifestation spell needs refinement for what it was intended. You were only supposed to have knowledge of the original events, such as reading them or watching a play, not pure memories which are likely haunting your every movement."
Olga's violet eyes sharpen with immediate understanding. Chloe's blue gaze lifts from the floor for the first time since arriving, cautious hope flickering across her features.
"With each of your permissions," you continue, "I will use [Memory Modification] to remove the emotion and sensation from the memories. You will still know it happened, but you will not have felt it."
"Yes," Olga responds without hesitation, her voice carrying relief beneath its calculated composure. "Please do so, my lord."
Chloe nods quickly, blonde hair shifting around her shoulders. "I give permission."
You raise both hands, silver-white light tracing complex patterns between your fingers. "[Memory Modification]."
The spell flows from your palms in twin streams of luminescence, one wrapping around Olga's dark purple hair while the other encompasses Chloe's blonde strands. Both women stiffen as the magic takes hold, their eyes losing focus for three heartbeats. The light intensifies before fading completely, leaving them blinking in the citadel's twilight illumination.
Olga's posture shifts subtly, tension draining from her shoulders even as her calculating expression remains. Chloe's breathing deepens, her hands unclenching at her sides.
"Better?" you ask.
Olga touches her own temple with visible wonder. "I still know what happened. But it feels like... like reading about someone else's tragedy in a historical text. The knowledge remains without the weight."
Chloe nods slowly. "I can remember the events without reliving them. Thank you, my lord."
You step forward and cup Olga's face between your hands, tilting her chin upward. Her violet eyes meet yours with gratitude mixing with wariness. You lower your mouth to hers in a slow kiss, allowing her to set the rhythm. She responds after two heartbeats, lips parting to accept your tongue. Her hands rise tentatively to rest against your chest as the kiss deepens. She tastes of evening wine and something else, the kiss carrying controlled passion rather than desperate submission.
You break contact after perhaps fifteen seconds. Olga's breathing quickens fractionally, her dark skin flushed.
You turn to Chloe and repeat the gesture, cupping her face gently. Her blue eyes search yours before she leans into the kiss. Her response comes immediately, letting you guide the pace while her hands grip your shoulders for balance. She tastes of honey and exhaustion, the kiss carrying gratitude rather than obligation.
When you pull back, Chloe's expression shows genuine relief rather than mere compliance.
Aura watches this sequence with visible curiosity, her heterochromatic eyes flickering between understanding and possessive calculation. Mare's gaze remains downcast, processing the implications with characteristic shyness.
You turn to Mare and gesture toward the grand staircase. "I'd like to see the residential quarters you've arranged."
Mare's face brightens immediately, violet eyes shining with pleasure at your interest. "Of course, my lord! Please follow me."
The tour proceeds through several wings of the Gateway Citadel. Mare guides you through communal sleeping quarters where families from Kuroinu have been housed together, private chambers assigned to skilled craftspeople and merchants, and modified spaces designed to accommodate both dark elven and human cultural preferences. The architecture blends seamlessly, dark stone walls softened by woven tapestries and strategically placed light crystals that prevent the oppressive darkness some humans might fear.
"We've assigned quarters based on family groups and skill sets," Mare explains as you walk, her soft voice gaining confidence as she discusses logistics. "The eastern wing houses humans who prefer more natural light cycles, while dark elves accustomed to perpetual twilight have claimed the western towers. Olga helped us understand traditional dark elf housing customs, which made the transition much smoother."
Aura chimes in periodically, pointing out security features and patrol routes she's established. The beast tamer's enthusiasm for protecting her new territory shows clearly in every gesture.
The tour concludes on the citadel's third floor, where private chambers have been assigned to leadership figures. Mare stops before two adjacent doors near the end of a corridor. "These are Olga and Chloe's rooms. We wanted them close together since they arrived together."
You open Olga's door first. The chamber carries dark elven aesthetics: deep purple fabrics, silver filigree decorations, and a large canopy bed with black silk sheets. You cross directly to the bed and sit on its edge, the mattress yielding comfortably beneath your weight.
"Olga, Chloe," you state clearly. "Sit beside me."
Both women comply immediately, Olga settling on your left while Chloe takes your right. Their body heat radiates against your sides, proximity bringing awareness of their distinct scents.
You turn your attention to Mare standing uncertainly near the doorway, her green hair with white streak catching the lamplight. "Mare. Come here and ride me."
Mare's violet eyes widen fractionally before she crosses the room with characteristic shyness. Aura remains near the door, heterochromatic eyes watching with interest rather than jealousy.
Mare's slender fingers work at the fastenings of your trousers with eagerness despite her nervous energy. When your cock springs free, already hardening from anticipation, she lifts her white skirt to reveal nothing beneath. Her brown skin gleams in the lamplight as she positions herself above you, one hand gripping your shoulder for balance while the other guides your length to her entrance.
She sinks down slowly, her tight heat enveloping you inch by inch. A soft gasp escapes her lips as she takes you fully inside. Olga and Chloe watch from either side, their breathing quickening as Mare begins to move.
