Sam and ri are both tired from their long adventure and their strenuous healing massage, but they’re still wide awake and eager to spend ti with . The Shield Maiden is wearing an adorable little frilly, yellow nightgown that barely covers her chubby butt or her white panties beneath, and Sam is wearing a boyish red tank top and a gratuitous black thong that does wonders for her behind.
I’m going to assu that Opal must have rinsed them off while taking care of them, as the armor stank has left the room since last I’ve left.
ri is absorbed in whatever erotic to wound up in her hands this ti, and Sam is further on in the book detailing House Lundrea throughout the ages. Judging by the horrified look on her face, she’s likely learning about one of her less than beloved ancestors.
“Ready for bed, Master?” ri asks, tearing her eyes away from her text.
“Yes. I’ve done as much paperwork as I can stomach for one night, and then so.”
Sam doesn’t greet . Instead, she continues staring at her book with great concern. “Boss, there’s literally a dude in this book called Hyn-Breaker the Deflowerer of Daughters, and I’m only on page one hundred out of... like two thousand. Why the fuck is my family still in power?” She asks, wide-eyed and astonished.
“To my understanding, every ti House Lundrea has been overthrown, they’ve just as quickly regained their place,” I shrug. “Better the devil you know than the devil you don’t."
ri tilts her head. “That na sounds familiar... I think I saw so books about him in your collection, Master.”
Sam opens her mouth, aghast. “...You fucking have porn books about my tyrant ancestors?!”
I deflect this criticism while changing into my pajamas. “Look, Sam. I’m not into hardcore stuff like that, but you have to understand this isn’t Imperalis. There are only two bookstores in all of Dewhurst. My collection contains lots of erotic material I wouldn’t otherwise read because, in a town like this, you take what you can get.”
“...Are they, um, are they any good?” ri asks, unashad.
“RI!” Sam snaps.
“One or two, but most of them are tripe. ‘The Conquering Cock King’ tetralogy is a guilty pleasure.”
“Interesting...” ri notes with sparkling eyes.
“I can’t fuckin’ believe you two, Boss...!” The Princess blushes as I wiggle my way up between them on the bed.
I should probably avoid telling Sam how much erotica exists about her father. Legends of Theostus Lundrea’s sexual exploits are still being ford to this day, inspiring many an author’s quill.
ri shuts her book and sets it off to the side, revealing the cover as ‘Caught by the Tail End’, an erotic novel based on a famous, real-life Gold-rank adventurer by the na of Fang-Ripper, a scantily clad Dogfolk girl. It’s not too uncommon for bards and authors to be inspired by adventurers they co across and create stories based on them, erotic or otherwise.
“Are you alright, Master?” ri asks, cuddling up to my side and wincing from the aches in her muscles. “You seem... distracted tonight.”
“There’s a lot on my mind, ri. Paperwork for the Association, my upcoming eting with Duke Gloomcrest, tomorrow’s mating ceremony...” I stop just short of ntioning Snow.
“You know what’s on MY mind, Boss? Finding out what the fuck’s in this thing.” Sam says, tossing
the mini treasure chest that was left waiting on the nightstand.
I pluck it out of the air and hold it in my palm. “Ah, yes. I almost forgot. Luxy went out of her way to include sothing for , didn’t she? It would be rude of
to wait any longer to find out what’s inside.”
“I wonder what kind of magic thingy she ca up with for you...?” ri tilts her head, excitent brewing.
“Maybe it’s sothing that fills out your paperwork faster so you can spend more ti fucking us,” Sam snickers.
“Would that I could only be so lucky,” I sigh, knowing it won’t be the case.
Without any further ado, I open the chest and peer into its contents with palpable excitent. Inside the wooden box is a single pendant shaped like the golden sun of Lux Ultima. It is held upon a splendid golden chain and looks to be quite a treasure.
Beneath the pendant is a golden ring. Although not Dwarven, it looks very well-crafted and much more tasteful than the other magic rings we’ve been exposed to as of late.
“What the shit, Boss? How co you get two?” The Princess pouts in a half-joking manner.
“Obviously, as the chosen Hero of Light, I’m the Goddess’s favorite. That goes without saying.” I tease, causing Sam to pout even further.
“Isn’t that a defensive charm?” ri tilts her head as she takes the pendant into her hands. “I’ve seen lots of adventurers carry them at the Perlshaw Adventurer’s Guild... this one looks fancier than the ones I’m used to, though.”
“Lux must be trying to protect you since you’re a squishy weakling who relies on won to do all your work for you,” Sam sneers. Without hesitation, I spank her fat, thonged ass faster than she can hope to stop . The Princess’s eyes shrink to surprised pin-pricks right before she figures out what horror was about to be done unto her.
“OW FUCK, BOSS MY FUCKING MUSCLES AGH-” The Princess twists her aching body in dire pain. ri giggles at Sam’s punishnt.
“You’ll have to forgive . I’m just so very weak that I thought it wouldn’t have any effect on you, Princess.”
Sam bites her lip and breathes in through the skin of her teeth, no doubt planning so sort of bratty revenge in my near future.
“Give
a mont, girls,” I hop off the gigantic Dwarven bed and rifle through the nightstand’s drawer for the iron knife I keep around out of habit. “Let’s see how well this works.” Extending my hand towards ri, she hands
the defensive pendant with great anxiety.
Even if I’ll be protected, she doesn’t like what I’m about to do.
I hang the pendant around my neck, finding it to weigh not much at all. Placing the knife against the tip of my finger, I press it forward. It seems unable to penetrate my skin- even when I put a reasonable deal of force behind it. It’s like there’s a thin layer of coating around my skin not too dissimilar from Steel Soul.
Still, this is nothing. I need to go a bit harder.
“Master... uh... maybe we should wait and test this when Opal is around to heal you if anything goes wrong? This just doesn’t seem very safe to ...” ri’s nervous sweating increases greatly as she watches
rear the knife toward my opposite arm.
“Zutiria still has so of her healing potions left over. It’ll be fine.” I exclaim, readying the knife for further testing.
“Famous last words,” Sam says.
I roll my eyes and strike myself with the weapon. An explosion of pure light occurs from the point of contact. The knife breaks, not in half, but into a fine dust that scatters outward in the air. Sam and ri look on at the impressive sight, mouths agape.
“Holy shit, that’s so fuckin’ defense charm, alright!” The Princess gawks at the display of my newly acquired trinket.
“Interesting. Seems you were right, ri..” I’m happy with the pendant’s effects as-is, but I won’t know the full extent of its powers until Zutiria or, more likely, Opalina can take a look at it. For all I know, there might be more to the pendant than ets the eye.
Now, onto the other prize. I slot the golden ring upon my ring finger. As expected of a gift from a Goddess, it fits like it was made for . The problem now is finding out how to activate whatever effect it has. Assuming it even has one, that is. “Have either of you ever seen a ring like this before?” I ask, showing it to the girls.
ri shakes her head, but Sam thinks about it for a mont before responding. “Kinda looks like an arcane tech thingy I saw back ho. Lots of gadgets are turned into rings, necklaces, earrings, and junk like that so you can pull ‘em out when you need em.”
“Ah, I didn’t think of that.” Upon closer inspection, I do note that the shape of the ring is very chanical in nature. I think I rember hearing about trinkets like these now that she ntions it.
I squeeze my hand into a fist and watch as a small burst of magic occurs in my hand. The ring glows, morphing into a small piece of ornate steel that resembles a crossbow without limbs. Weighing several pounds, the weapon has good heft and feels nice to hold in my hand.
“Woah! Boss, do you have any idea what that is?” Sam lights up, barely able to control her excitent.
“If I’m not mistaken, this is a weapon called a pistol, isn’t it?” Almost unseen in Karnalle, firearms are traditionally found in the Inner Realms of High Verne and, more recently, Ikkuni.
“Ohhhh, I’ve seen a few adventurers use those! They’re pretty rare.” ri says.
“The Galloise Company and House Lundrea are super tight. I’ve gotten to play with so of their firearms before. Good tis.” Sam sighs wistfully.
“So I just point and shoot?” I ask, tilting the weapon on its side to inspect the detailing. Adventurer classes that use firearms are a newer phenonon. None of my reference books cover the topic, so my knowledge of them and the Arts that their users can use is minimal.
“Pretty much. I’m jealous, Boss. You got so kick-ass presents!”
I can see how this would be useful- especially with eyes like mine. I’m not suddenly going to be joining them on the frontlines, but now I’ll at least be able to deter most small threats to my safety.
For now, I will the weapon to return into being a ring, and it does just that.
“Guess Lux Ultima was worried about you getting hurt when no one’s around to protect you?” ri smiles. “That’s kind of nice... even though we already have Nikita for that.”
“Nikita is a rcenary, ri. She may be our friend, but we can’t rely on her to always be around when I’m in danger. Ideally, I’d want more Beastfolk around to serve as bodyguards, but that won’t happen for a while.”
“Guess you’ll just have to settle for three for now,” Sam shrugs.
“Three? Snow said no.” I would’ve thought the maids would have told the Princess such.
Sam blinks, looks at ri, and then frowns. She coughs. “...Shit. I uh, just kinda assud the cat was in the bag. Figured she’d say yes.”
I raise an eyebrow.
ri sits up despite the pain it causes her fatigued body. “ACTUALLY, we both think you need a distraction to keep you from thinking about Snow, Master, a-and... um... and we haven’t gotten any lewd rewards even though we did such a good job in the dungeon! Right, Sam?”
Sam tilts her head like she has no idea what the fuck ri is going on about but eventually nods her head. “I could go for so naughty fun right about now, yeah!”
“Sam, sweetheart, I don’t think that’s a good idea...” To prove my point, I reach down and cup the warrior Princess’s ass in my hand.
“MOTHERFUCKING- AGH!” Sam screeches, biting down on her own teeth to better help her manage the pain.
ri blushes, “T-That’s kinda hot...” She twiddles her thumbs, looking to the side. “B-But, um... we haven’t gotten any kind of reward for how good we did in the dungeon. Maybe you could do sothing... you know... a little gentle...? We did get a lot of new toys, Master...”
“Huh, never thought I’d hear you asking Boss to be gentle...” The pained Princess smirks.
“I-I’m not ONLY into hardcore play!” ri blushes, realizing just how she’s perceived by those around her.
When ri looks at
with those big, pleading puppy-dog eyes of hers, I don’t think I could say no to her even if she asked
to kill a man in cold blood. “Well, when you put it like that, ri... perhaps I can look around downstairs to see if anything would suffice. Are you interested in a little fun, too, Princess?”
“Duh. Just count yourself lucky I’m not strong enough to get so payback on you, Boss... hmph.” She bites her lip and looks away from , blushing. If I weren’t so considerate, I’d take this opportunity to ss with Sam and dominate her like there’s no tomorrow.
Sadly, I want her to heal with no complications. Opal wants the girls to get a couple of days of actual bed rest, and I know better than to fight the good Doctor when it cos to treating her patients.
Hardcore domination play will have to wait for so other day... for now, It’s ti to go to the storage room and dig out so new toys.
