Chapter 422 A Bit Of Jealousy
"Mistress Ysal will be back in just a few minutes. Please rest a bit…."
"*sigh*... Sure,"
As I lay on the bed, feeling the pillow below me grasp my head like a warm hug, I couldn\'t help but sigh and think back on what happened.
I met an elf who blocked out my status; she was way too strong, and then there were those cloaked people who might be elves, now that I think about it.
Their movements were swift as if they were using wind magic, and their bodies were pretty thin, and I think I caught a glimpse of blond hair… though many other races could share the same physical attributes.
After mulling over the information for about an hour, I was rudely interrupted by Ysal, who charged into the room with a worried expression.
"Baby, are you okay? What happened? Was there an enemy too strong for even you and the succubus to lose to? Is that even possible?"
"I guess there is… but speaking of the succubus, how is she? She was passed out the entire time I was fighting,"
"She is currently still asleep, and she might be under some kind of hypnotization spell. It\'s hard to say… anyway, tell me all the details," Ysal requested, looking as if she was ready to enact revenge for us.
"It\'s okay, babe. She\'s too strong for you anyway. Plus, she\'s probably not even here anymore," I responded, but she didn\'t take no for an answer.
"Please! I have to get back them for you! Nobody can just go around slapping up my lovers like that!" She exclaimed.
"Babe… I\'m tired, and my head is pounding, so please shut up for a bit,"
"O-Oh, I\'m sorry…." Ysal muttered while looking down as if she had actually done something wrong.
"*sigh*... I want a kiss," I said, looking away fairly bashfully before being intercepted by a pair of lips meeting mine.
Ysal and I locked lips for a bit until she climbed onto the bed, straddling my hips and pulling the covers up to reveal me in my cute pajamas.
"Oh my, how adorable of you… kitty pajamas? Was this for me?" She began to tease me, which I didn\'t really like.
"Th-the maid picked it out for me! It wasn\'t my choice!" I exclaimed.
"Sure, sure," Ysal smirked before climbing off the bed and leaving me to myself in order to recover as fast as possible as the kingdom was growing fairly rapidly.
The empress desperately needed help with managing everything, so Ysal was forced to get her lazy ass up and actually help out.
"Bye, bye honey,"
"See ya… Come back soon," I said before Ysal exited the room, and I just lay there, my head being gripped by the soft pillow and its comforting grasp.
…
About a week had passed, and my mana sickness was pretty much gone, though I still felt exhausted from the sickness still sort of coursing through my body.
I had a fever the entire time, and even though my mana was regenerating at its normal pace, the sickness it left me with continued to ravage me from the inside out.
Plus, for some reason, healing magic just wouldn\'t work on the fever, which I guess would make sense as it\'s not really a disease but more like a defense mechanism for your poor and weak little body.
"Babe! I\'m all better!" I exclaimed before rushing through the wooden door and charging into the empress\' office.
"Oh…" The empress muttered as she looked up from her seat and saw me gawking at the sight in front of me.
The succubus was straddling Ysal\'s lap and was getting toyed around with like a sex slave, ready to submit to anything.
The succubus was the sex slave, of course, not Ysal… she\'s become much more dominant as of late, which has worried me a bit, as people who are too dominant kind of creep me out to some point.
"Oh, Arpious, come here~," Ysal gestured for me to come closer, but as I shook with an uncontrollable rage, I took out my scythe and swung down at the succubus.
BOOM
A pink forcefield appeared between us, just barely saving her ass as my scythe was unable to penetrate it without any extra skills being used.
"I hate you! W-Why are you always with her!" I shouted before running around the forcefield and going to punch Ysal in the chin, frightening the succubus who attempted to block it… but Ysal stopped the succubus.
BAM
I clocked Ysal in the chin, and after she readjusted her seemingly sprained jaw, she then took my fist and brought me in closer to where her head was right next to my neck.
"Feeling better?" She asked as her lips slowly trailed up my neck and to my mouth, where I couldn\'t refuse a kiss.
"I hate you," I pouted as we soon parted ways, and I took a seat next to the empress, helping her out with her own work instead of Ysal.
"Babe… Come on. If you want me to, I can get rid of this succubus~,"
"Then get rid of her forever! FOREVER!" I shouted, and the succubus began to sweat bullets as Ysal\'s grasp on her ass slowly tightened.
And like the weirdo she was, she began to moan with Ysal, tightening her grip even more and pulling her hips farther into her own.
"Such a naughty girl… Do you want to get fucked that bad?" Ysal smirked as she took her free hand to readjust the succubi\'s embarrassed gaze right back at her.
"P-Please don\'t say such things in front of everybody else," She muttered.
"Tch… Aren\'t you going to ask me about what happened?! I mean, weren\'t you curious!?" I shouted across the room, but it seemed she was already aware of what had happened.
"Forgive me, but I took a little sneak peek into your memories…."
"Th-then you need to pay me back,"
"Oh~... And how should I pay you back?" Ysal asked, but just before I could say anything, a sun drake knight burst through the door, slamming it wide open.
"Y-Your highness!" He cried out before taking a knee as the number of powerful people with such dense presences was too much for him to handle.
"What is it?" The empress asked, unamused.
"W-We\'re under attack by the remaining elven trees! They\'re also demanding a spot within our kingdom!" The knight reported two conflicting ideas.
"Tch… What the fuck is it? Do they want to eradicate us, or do they want to be allies?" The empress clicked her tongue before exiting the room, which we swiftly followed after.
But, Ysal had different plans for the succubus, as exposing her to the public again might create some new type of inherent fear that would just work against us, not with us.
"You stay in the palace," Ysal ordered.
"B-But, I can help," The succubus earnestly replied, but as Ysal\'s eyes went cold, she stopped in place and slowly backed away.
Ysal also stopped in place, so I stopped with her, leaving the empress to continue ahead without us.
"Hmmmmm… Did I just hear you talk back to me? Huh? Arpious, did I hear her correctly?" Ysal asked me as she slowly stepped towards the succubus who had fallen to the floor and was shivering with fear.
"I-I\'m sorr-"
But before the succubus could speak out of her open mouth, Ysal shoved the tip of her heel inside her mouth.
She then gently laid down on the cold hallway floor, looking up at Ysal with pitiful eyes.
"Oh, are you not going to answer me, Arpious? Are you going to be a bad girl just like this little slut here?"
"N-No! The succubus did indeed talk back,"
"Good… How easy was that to say. Now, my little itty bitty succubus… stay here like the good girl you are and don\'t move… or else~,"
The succubus nodded her head violently up and down before Ysal removed the tip of her heel from her mouth and spanked my ass, alerting me that we were now heading out again.
"O-Ow… You could\'ve hit it a bit lighter," I muttered, but Ysal\'s angered expression was enough for me to know that talking anymore would just be the death of me.
Why is she so angry? Is this about the elves? What\'s wrong with the elves?
As soon as we made our way out of the palace, Ysal turned into her dragon form, which I hopped onto, and we immediately flew to the outer walls of the capital.
And there it was… an entire army of elves who were chanting but also trying to tear down the wall guarding the civilians.
