"...how close is Duke Archer to Aaren’s golden palace, Leysha?"
I tried to ask that in my mind, trying to imagine if my question was connected to Leysha out there or not.
I waited a few minutes, but Leysha still hadn’t answered.
And I waited while Sheiza and Azalea were kissing my chest and each of their hands was currently playing with my cock.
Their lustful breathing was begging to continue this threeso ritual to completion.
Well, it’s not that I didn’t want to, but hearing news of Duke Archer’s sudden arrival like this made think twice.
But there was no further word from Leysha—did that an this telepathic communication was only one-way?
"Baron Atreus... I’m sorry I’m late in responding... Alex just gave so pretty crucial news, so I need to add detail on it..."
Ah, I smiled, relieved to hear Leysha’s response.
In a magical world like this, I never imagined that telepathic magic—like a mobile phone function in my world—would exist, and it would certainly be very useful for long-distance communication.
"...to answering your question, Duke Archer is very close, Baron. He’s already entered the palace!"
"What? Already entered the palace?"
"R-right, Baron... the ss in the hall from the battle between you and Sheiza has been cleaned up by Alex and his team. Even the soldiers’ corpses have been cleared away, and all traces of blood, the golden floors, and the walls have been tidied up so they won’t look suspicious when Duke Archer enters."
Well, Alex’s swift work has solved half of my worries.
But the other half concerns , Azalea, and Sheiza, who are still engaged in this threeso ritual.
"A-Are you still undergoing this threeso ritual, Baron Atreus? I-It looks like you’ll have to undergo it another ti, Baron... As far as I can tell, this threeso ritual isn’t completely over yet. I can sense Sheiza’s magical power has ford, and the curse of King Bahamut within her has been significantly eroded. But since the ritual isn’t complete, there’s a chance that the seeds of the curse of King Bahamut will slowly re-enter her body..."
Ah shit.
If that happens, I’ll have to repeat the sa ss when Sheiza goes berserk again under the control of the curse of King Bahamut.
I could postpone this ritual, but no one knows how long Duke Archer will remain in this palace.
If he chooses to stay in Aaren’s golden palace for too long, I’ll lose montum, and Sheiza will revert to her previous character, who chose to be completely loyal to her father, even though it’s unfair and unjust to her.
If Sheiza returns to Duke Archer’s side—Azalea, Cecile, Leysha, and Alex in Aaren’s golden palace will have even more trouble concealing our control of Aaren’s golden mountain territory.
Amidst these seemingly limited options and complicated circumstances, my brain feels like it’s being wracked—trying to find the most suitable option that can save the Vermillion army.
But my mory brings back to a mory of when I first saw Duke Archer arrive at this palace and was greeted by Azalea Aurelilus.
The crazy thing I rember was that Azalea Aurelius manipulated her own husband—Duke Archer—by giving him wine to drug him, and we then had sex in front of him while he was sleeping like a pig.
What a wild ride, but apparently, it gives so crucial hint about this unexpected turn of events.
"I don’t have ti anymore, Leysha. I’ll try to complete the threeso ritual right now."
"A-Are you sure, Baron?"
"Yes, trust . What about Cecile and Alex?"
"Cecile and Alex are already wearing special Ventura armor to disguise their appearance, Baron. The assassins and knights have also been coordinated for Duke Archer’s arrival. Since Duke Archer rarely ventures into the golden mountains of Aaren, the chances of the duke suspecting him are very slim, Baron."
"Good. Then I will focus on my threeso ritual and securing Azalea and Sheiza."
"Good luck, Baron Atreus. I have complete trust in you."
Leysha’s voice trailed off, signaling the end of the telepathic communication.
Sheiza and Azalea, who had been staring at for a mont, began to suspect because I hadn’t said much while they were busy kissing my body.
"What’s wrong, Baron...? There seems to be sothing very serious in that look of yours..." Azalea asked.
"I have bad news. Duke Archer has co to this golden palace of Aaren, and he’s already arrived."
"Is Father here...?!" Sheiza was imdiately stunned by this.
"H-how is that possible? Isn’t it still two days before his regular schedule to co here?" Azalea asked in surprise.
"...in fact, Duke Archer has already arrived, but I still intend to finish this actual threeso," I said firmly.
"E-ehh...?" Azalea and Sheiza were shocked by my assertiveness.
Although I hadn’t told her about the secret of controlling Aaren’s golden mountain, it seed Sheiza already understood that Azalea and I had ford a secret alliance to secretly control Aaren’s gold and Azure crystals until Vermillion’s power was strong enough to counter Duke Archer’s.
"A-Are you sure, Baron Atreus? We don’t want Duke Archer to find out about all of this? If we clean up now, maybe we’ll still have ti later to—"
"I don’t have ti left, Azalea. I must complete this threeso ritual imdiately, and I can’t wait for Duke Archer to return because there’s a risk of the curse of King Bahamut returning to Sheiza," I interrupted, leaving Azalea stunned and unable to respond.
"Th-then... do you have a plan for this, Baron Atreus? I will certainly do everything I can to support you." Sheiza agreed, even though I could see the nervousness on her face.
" too, Baron...! I’ll definitely support you if that’s what you want...! Just tell your plan...!" Azalea imdiately agreed with a nervous expression—as if she didn’t want to be outdone by her own daughter.
"Azalea...Sheiza...put your clothes back on and greet Duke Archer properly," I said quickly, prompting Azalea and Sheiza to imdiately put on their respective outfits; Azalea in her noble gown and Sheiza in her ventura armor.
"Oh no...my horns is already gone...w-what should I do, Baron...?" Sheiza only realized when she saw the horns were gone when she looked in the mirror.
I knew those horns had beco an inseparable part of her as a symbol of eternal loyalty to King Victor Dragomir, though I ultimately saw them as a symbol of slavery.
Regardless of their importance, Sheiza needed those horns to prevent Duke Archer from becoming suspicious.
As ti wore on, and I could already hear approaching footsteps, my attention instinctively focused on a headband that matched Sheiza’s hair color nearby.
I imdiately took the headband and placed it on Sheiza’s head.
I concentrated fully on the activated Black Star to use black earth elental magic, then snapped my fingers, causing the artificial horns to form on Sheiza’s headband.
"Oh my... those artificial horns truly resemble real ones, Baron. The color of the headband, which resembles my daughter’s hair, makes them look natural. You’re a genius, Baron Atreus...!" praised Azalea.
"You truly are amazing, Baron Atreus... I was almost fooled and worried that these horns were from the curse of King Bahamut...!" Sheiza was still stunned in disbelief, watching her artificial horns seemingly rge with her head.
I, who had just put my clothes back on, smiled faintly as I watched the mother and daughter amazed by my sudden discovery.
My Black Star was still glowing with its black aura, and at that very mont, I began to understand that I could completely imitate Leysha’s telepathic magic with ease.
I concentrated quickly, then saw a magical flow of sound that can connect toward Azalea and Sheiza.
"Azalea... Sheiza... you two can hear my voice, right?"
"Oh...? This voice... Is this your voice, Baron Atreus? I can hear it clearly even you’re not saying it!" Azalea said in surprise.
"Baron Atreus’s voice... it sounds clear in my head... I-is this your magic, Baron?" Sheiza said, equally shocked.
"Yes... this is my telepathic magic. With this, I can communicate with you without having to speak directly. However, it seems neither of you can use telepathy, so my ssage will only be heard one way," I said, preparing my invisible coat, which I would use before Duke Archer arrived in this room.
"Listen carefully, Azalea, Sheiza, you two will hear this voice as my instruction. For now, greet Duke Archer properly, but I will continue with this threeso ritual. As much as possible, behave naturally in front of Duke Archer. Do you two understand?"
"Understood, Baron Atreus." Sheiza and Azalea said in unison.
TAP!
TAP!
TAP!
The footsteps grew closer, and I could already feel a terrifying aura of power approaching.
These footsteps didn’t co from ordinary soldiers, but from a noble with elite power: Duke Archer Aurelius.
I don’t know what he was thinking, but Duke Archer seed to have an instinct to check Sheiza’s room.
I saw Azalea hurriedly spray so citrus-scented perfu, while at the sa ti, Sheiza hurriedly tidied up the bed, which was soaked with our lovely juices, so as not to be seen.
CRACK...!
The doorknob turned, and I imdiately donned the invisible coat that disguised my physical body, including my magical aura.
The bedroom door opened, and I saw a middle-aged man in elite armor, complete with his battle robe, staring intently at Azalea and Sheiza.
Strangely, however, Duke Archer slowly turned his gaze toward , even though I was quite a distance away from Azalea and Sheiza.
He even stepped closer to , still holding a suspicious gaze.
Damn it.
Could he sohow detect even though I was wearing my invisibility coat?
