Chapter 85: Lacus Joins Carne manor, Euphemia’s need +18
You settle between Lacus's thighs, hands gentle on her skin as you begin with soft kisses along her inner legs. She watches you with emerald eyes, breathing measured, pink hair spread across Jibril's pillows.
"You're being very methodical," Lacus observes, voice steady despite circumstances. "Is this your standard approach with new partners?"
"It varies depending on the woman," you reply between kisses, working gradually higher. "With you, I want to establish trust before intensity. You've accepted this arrangement intellectually, but your body hasn't caught up yet."
Lacus considers this. "An accurate assessment. I can appreciate the logic of gradual acclimation."
Your lips reach their destination, beginning with feather-light contact. Lacus's breath catches slightly, but she maintains composure. You continue with patient attention, focusing on building sensation rather than overwhelming her immediately.
Several minutes pass in relative silence broken only by Lacus's increasingly unsteady breathing. Her clinical detachment begins cracking as physical response overwhelms intellectual distance.
"This is more intense than I anticipated," she admits, fingers gripping bedsheets. "I thought I could maintain perspective throughout."
You pause briefly to respond. "Your mind can't override your nervous system forever. Stop trying to observe and just experience."
"That's easier said than achieved." Her voice wavers as you resume attention with slightly increased pressure. "I've spent my entire life maintaining control in difficult situations. Surrendering that feels dangerous."
"You're not surrendering control to an enemy," you murmur against her skin. "You're allowing pleasure with someone who wants to hear you sing, not scream."
Lacus makes soft sound that might be half-laugh, half-gasp. "Your metaphors are very on-brand for recruiting a performer."
Her attempts at conversation become increasingly fragmented as arousal builds. The clinical observations cease entirely, replaced by involuntary vocalizations that prove your earlier prediction correct. Her trained singing voice translates beautifully to these circumstances, producing melodic sounds as her body responds.
"There we go," you encourage, reading her physical cues to adjust technique. "Stop thinking and just feel."
Lacus's back arches slightly, pink hair shifting across pillows as her breathing grows ragged. "I can't maintain conversation anymore," she manages between gasps. "Everything feels too concentrated."
"Good. That means you're finally letting yourself experience this properly."
You continue with patience, building her toward climax without rushing. Her vocalizations grow, emerald eyes unfocused as sensation overwhelms her careful composure. When she finally reaches peak, her singing voice produces genuinely beautiful sounds of release.
She lies catching her breath afterward, looking simultaneously satisfied and slightly embarrassed. "That was significantly more intense than I expected."
"And we're just getting started," you reply, fingers tracing gentle patterns on her thigh. "Jibril should return soon. We can continue until then."
You resume attention with increased confidence now that Lacus has surrendered her initial resistance. Her body responds more readily this time, pink hair spread across pillows as her breathing accelerates quickly.
"I thought the first time was intense," Lacus manages between gasps. "But knowing what's coming somehow makes it more overwhelming."
"Your mind can't build defenses when your body already knows the pleasure," you murmur against her skin, adjusting technique based on her responses.
Lacus's vocalizations grow steadily, her trained singing voice producing genuinely beautiful sounds as arousal builds. Her fingers grip bedsheets with increasing desperation, emerald eyes unfocused as sensation overwhelms thought.
Silver light flares near the library entrance as Jibril materializes through dimensional portal, wings folding as she surveys the scene with golden eyes. She pauses mid-step, taking in Lacus's state with evident interest.
"Master, I have successfully acquired all targeted databases," Jibril reports, though her attention remains fixed on Lacus. "Seventeen separate infiltrations completed without detection. Coordinator genetics records, mobile suit specifications, and space colonization technology are now stored in our archives."
You acknowledge with brief nod but maintain focus on Lacus, who has become aware of Jibril's presence despite her compromised state.
"Someone just arrived," Lacus gasps, attempting to regain composure. "This is mortifying."
"That's Jibril, who I mentioned earlier," you reply calmly. "She's been in this exact position before and far more intimate situations than this. Don't let the presence of one of your new sisters disturb you."
Jibril approaches the alcove with graceful steps, studying Lacus with academic curiosity. "The newest recruit possesses remarkable vocal control even under duress. Her physiological responses indicate genuine pleasure rather than performance."
"Jibril, you're not helping," Lacus protests weakly before another wave of sensation cuts off further conversation.
You continue working her toward second climax, reading her body's cues despite her embarrassment at being observed. Jibril settles onto nearby chair, watching with undisguised fascination.
"I appreciate Master's recruitment of performers," Jibril observes. "Her vocalizations demonstrate exceptional training translating to intimate contexts."
Lacus makes sound between laugh and moan. "Please stop analyzing me like a research subject."
"But you are fascinating," Jibril replies seriously. "Your transition from clinical detachment to complete surrender occurred remarkably quickly. Most new recruits require significantly longer acclimation periods."
Lacus attempts response but fails as climax builds rapidly. Her back arches, pink hair shifting across pillows as her singing voice produces crescendo of genuinely beautiful sounds. The peak hits hard, her entire body trembling as pleasure overwhelms her completely.
She lies gasping afterward, cheeks flushed with combination of satisfaction and embarrassment. "That was even more intense than the first time. And significantly more mortifying with an audience."
Jibril tilts her head. "Why mortifying? Your responses were aesthetically pleasing and demonstrated Master's skill effectively."
"Because I just performed involuntary concert for a stranger," Lacus replies, slowly regaining composure. "While experiencing things I've never experienced before."
You straighten, watching Lacus catch her breath. "Jibril, brief status report on what you acquired?"
Jibril's expression brightens. "Complete coordinator modification protocols including three generations of genetic data, full mobile suit technical specifications with beam weapon miniaturization details, and comprehensive space colonization technology covering artificial gravity generation and closed ecosystem management. The data quality exceeds expectations."
You gesture toward the glowing dimensional gate leading back to the Gundam Seed timeline, silver edges flickering as you close the connection with focused thought. The portal collapses smoothly, leaving only the library's vast architecture stretching in all directions.
Lacus watches this casual display of dimensional manipulation with evident fascination, still catching her breath from her recent climaxes. "You simply closed a gateway between universes as though shutting a door."
"It's a fairly basic function once the portal exists." you reply, turning your attention to Jibril. "Lacus gave you quite a show. It's only proper to give her one as well."
Jibril's golden eyes brighten with understanding and enthusiasm. "An excellent pedagogical approach, Master. Demonstrating intimate dynamics will help our newest recruit understand harem expectations."
"Strip and climb on top of her," you instruct, already beginning to remove your own clothing.
Jibril's white wings flutter slightly as she removes her garments with grace, her athletic form revealed in the library's ambient lighting. Lacus watches with obvious uncertainty as Jibril approaches the bed where she still lies.
"This is happening very quickly," Lacus observes, pink hair spread across pillows. "I only joined your harem approximately thirty minutes ago."
"And you're already learning how it functions," Jibril replies cheerfully, positioning herself above Lacus with practiced ease. "Observing intimate encounters between harem members is quite normal. As is participating in group activities."
You settle behind Jibril, hands gentle on her hips as you begin slowly. Jibril's breath catches, golden eyes focused downward on Lacus's emerald gaze. "Master is being particularly gentle today. He's demonstrating consideration for your comfort while simultaneously showing you what to expect."
"I appreciate the transparency," Lacus manages, though her voice wavers slightly as she watches Jibril's reactions from beneath. "Though I'm still processing the visual aspect."
You maintain steady rhythm, reading Jibril's responses while keeping pace deliberately slow rather than intense. Jibril's wings spread slightly, white feathers catching light as pleasure builds. "This is what intimacy looks like within the harem structure," she explains to Lacus between increasingly ragged breaths. "Sometimes private encounters, sometimes shared experiences. Master values both."
Lacus reaches up tentatively, hands settling on Jibril's sides in gesture that might be comfort or simply need for connection during this surreal introduction. "You seem genuinely enthusiastic rather than obligated."
"Because I am," Jibril gasps as you adjust angle slightly. "Master's attention is treasure, not burden. You'll understand once you've had more time to integrate."
You bring Jibril steadily toward climax without excessive teasing, focusing on building her pleasure through consistent attention rather than drawn-out anticipation. Her vocalizations grow as release approaches, wings trembling as she reaches peak with genuine sounds of satisfaction.
Jibril catches her breath afterward, golden eyes warm as she looks down at Lacus. "That was your introduction to group dynamics. Questions?"
Lacus takes slow breath. "Many questions. But I suspect they'll be answered through continued observation and experience rather than verbal explanation."
"Correct assessment," you confirm, helping Jibril shift to the side so all three of you can rest comfortably on the bed. "Welcome to the harem, Lacus."
You rest for a moment between Lacus and Jibril, catching your breath as the three of you settle into comfortable silence. Lacus's pink hair spreads across the pillows, her emerald eyes thoughtful as she processes everything that has happened in the last forty minutes.
"Jibril, before we move on, prepare a copy of the Gundam Seed data for my review later," you instruct, sitting up. "I want to examine the coordinator genetics and space ecosystems in detail."
Jibril's golden eyes brighten with enthusiasm. "Of course, Master. I will compile comprehensive documentation organized by technical category. The beam weapon miniaturization alone warrants extensive analysis."
"Good. I'm taking Lacus to her new quarters at Carne Manor now. She needs to meet the other recent arrivals and settle in."
Lacus sits up slowly, reaching for her discarded clothing. "A manor? Where the other women who joined recently are staying?"
"Correct. Five women arrived just this morning from a different futuristic timeline, both similar and different to your situation. They're still adjusting to their new circumstances." You help Lacus to her feet once she finishes pulling up her panties, her white gown flowing around her. "Jibril, we'll speak later about the technical applications."
Jibril nods, already pulling crystalline data storage devices from nearby shelves. "I look forward to it, Master. Lacus, see you around."
You lead Lacus toward the library exit, gesturing toward the dungeon passageway that connects to Carne Manor. "The dungeon passageways lead several places, including directly to your new home. The manor exists in a low-fantasy world, providing security and comfort for residents."
Lacus studies the shimmering silver portal with scientific interest. "Dimensional manipulation seems to be your primary specialization. How many such gates have you established?"
"Several across multiple worlds. They allow efficient movement between locations without completely relying on conventional travel." You step through the portal, Lacus following close behind.
The transition deposits you in Carne Manor's main hall, a spacious room furnished with comfortable seating and warm lighting. Voices drift from the nearby common room where several figures are visible.
Yuri Alpha stands near the doorway, her dullahan features composed as she speaks quietly with CZ Delta. Both turn as you arrive, Yuri's expression shifting to warm recognition.
"Master, welcome back," Yuri greets, approaching with measured steps. Her gaze settles on Lacus with polite curiosity. "This must be the new recruit Narberal mentioned you were pursuing."
"Yuri Alpha, CZ Delta, this is Lacus Clyne. She joined the harem approximately one hour ago. Lacus, these are two of the Pleiades battle maids who serve Nazarick. They're currently helping the five women who arrived this morning adjust to their new circumstances."
Lacus inclines her head politely. "A pleasure to meet you both. I appreciate any guidance you can offer as I navigate this rather overwhelming transition."
CZ tilts her head slightly, processing Lacus with mechanical precision. "Your physiological responses indicate recent intimate activity. Master has already begun integration protocols."
"CZ's observations tend toward the clinical," Yuri explains with slight smile. "But she's correct. You'll find that directness is valued here over excessive social pretense."
Voices carry from the common room, where the five Code Geass women are presumably gathered. You gesture toward the doorway. "Let's make proper introductions."
You gesture toward the common room doorway where voices drift. "Let's gather everyone together for proper introductions. Yuri, CZ, could you bring the five women to the common room?"
Yuri nods and moves toward the stairs while CZ walks toward the nearby sitting area. Within moments, the five Code Geass women filter into the common room in varying states of composure.
Kallen paces restlessly near the window, her red hair catching morning light as she moves. Her black bunny suit draws attention she clearly resents based on her scowl. Milly settles into a chair with analytical posture, blonde hair framing her thoughtful expression. Shirley curls up on a sofa, orange hair disheveled, eyes red from crying. Villetta stands near the fireplace observing with steel-blue gaze, her pragmatic stance contrasting with the others' distress. Euphemia sits catatonic in a cushioned chair, pink hair falling around vacant features, dressed in an open-cup maid outfit that exposes her vulnerability.
Narberal enters last, positioning herself near the doorway with watchful presence.
"Everyone, this is Lacus Clyne," you announce, drawing attention to your newest recruit. "She joined approximately one hour ago after I intercepted her ship before tomorrow's scheduled attack. Like you five, she faced guaranteed death in her original timeline and chose dimensional adventure instead."
Lacus inclines her head politely despite obvious discomfort at being observed by so many traumatized strangers. "A pleasure to meet you all. I hope we can support each other during this transition."
Kallen stops pacing long enough to stare. "Another one? How many women are you planning to collect?"
"Between fifty and one hundred fifty eventually," you reply calmly. "Though current count is thirty-one including Lacus. Most joined within the last week, so you're not alone in adjusting to new circumstances."
Milly's analytical gaze sharpens. "And we're all here because we faced death or trauma in bad-end timelines you deliberately targeted for recruitment."
"Not all, but several. Now, regarding your immediate situation." You gesture toward Yuri, CZ, and Narberal. "These three have volunteered as therapeutic companions. Yuri Alpha is the head maid, a dullahan who recently underwent her own emotional breakthrough. CZ Delta is an automaton sniper who processes experiences through mechanical frameworks. Narberal Gamma is a doppelganger who provides absolute hierarchical loyalty perspective."
Yuri steps forward with warm expression. "I understand feeling overwhelmed by sudden change. I experienced complete psychological breakdown just this morning when confronting genuine emotions for the first time. I'm here to help however I can."
CZ tilts her head. "Your physiological responses indicate various trauma states. Conversation may facilitate processing."
"I have no interest in therapy," Kallen snaps. "I need action, not talking."
"Then you have a choice," you reply with deliberate lightness. "You each need to talk to someone. Euphemia is borderline catatonic, Milly is functioning behind analysis, and Kallen, you're so used to living a double life and fighting that you're going stir-crazy without a war to direct your anxiety. If you refuse therapy, you can run laps around the village in your new outfits. I'm certain the children and elderly will enjoy the show almost as much as I will."
Kallen's face flushes with fury. "You wouldn't."
"I would enjoy the sight. Though I'd prefer you choose conversation."
Shirley uncurls slightly from her sofa. "I'll talk. I don't want to run anywhere."
Milly sighs. "Fine. I'll participate in your therapy experiment."
Villetta nods once. "Acknowledged."
Kallen glares but finally mutters, "Whatever."
All eyes turn to Euphemia, who remains completely unresponsive in her chair.
You step forward before Euphemia's catatonic form, the pink-haired princess staring blankly ahead in her revealing maid outfit. The other four women watch with varying degrees of curiosity and concern.
"I showed each of you to your rooms so you would know that each of you have your own space, not for you to lock yourselves away," you announce to the group. "If any of you are wanting something physical to do, you can either ask for training with Enri's goblins for fantasy combat or attend the school tomorrow. They have adventuring classes as well. Kallen, swordsmanship might suit your need for motion."
Kallen's expression shifts slightly at the suggestion, though she says nothing.
You turn your full attention to Euphemia, reaching down to lift her chin with one finger. Her vacant eyes don't track the movement. "This was not what I had intended, however it seems necessary."
You activate your mental scanning ability, pressing into Euphemia's consciousness. The surface thoughts are chaotic fragments of guilt and self-recrimination, but deeper lies the core problem. She prepared herself for martyrdom, to sacrifice everything to prevent the massacre. Her entire identity reconstructed itself around that single purpose over the hours before her expected death. Being rescued instead of dying, being treated gently instead of violated, receiving care instead of punishment... it has shattered the martyrdom framework completely. She needs to suffer for what she nearly caused. She needs to be punished. She needs her sacrifice to matter.
You bend close to her ear, keeping your voice low enough that only she can hear. "Wrap your arms over my shoulders, kiss me lovingly and play along with the act of being a willing lover, or I'll rape them one at a time on the floor in front of you."
The effect is immediate. Euphemia's vacant eyes suddenly focus with sharp clarity. Her breathing quickens. Her hands move mechanically to your shoulders, fingers gripping with desperate strength as she pulls herself upward. Her lips find yours in a kiss that trembles with manufactured passion.
The watching women react with varied shock. Lacus's emerald eyes widen with confusion at the sudden transformation. Yuri takes an uncertain step forward before stopping herself. Kallen's face twists with disgust.
"What the hell did you just say to her?" Kallen demands.
Euphemia breaks the kiss, keeping her arms locked around your neck, her face pressed against your shoulder. To outside observers, she appears to be clinging to you with genuine affection. Only you can feel the violent trembling beneath her skin, the way her breath hitches with suppressed panic as she forces herself to maintain the performance.
"I reminded her that she overlooked a simple option," you reply calmly. "Sometimes that's all the motivation someone needs."
