*Vol.4 Chapter250 It’s Time to Call You Princess. 🦴
Johan and his wife were pleased that the Dark Elf would be willing not to escalate the situation. Brice seemed to be the most intrigued by the young girl.
"Well... Now I see why the Queen likes you... And it seems we need to do everything within our power to get the court to accept you, Princess Rya." Lord Brice stated.
"P-Princess?" Rya squeaked.
"What?... Aren't you the adopted daughter of Yuliana? She has the title of princess... And if you are her daughter, then that would make you a Princess, too."
Rya's cheeks burned red, "It's just... No one has ever called me a princess before."
"Well, if you're going to be the future Queen... You should get used to it," Brice smiled.
Quin smirked, kissed the back of her hand, and looked at the cute face, "I know it's a lot to take in, Rya... But you will do fine."
Rya felt a little nervous, so she just nodded her head. "Alright... But I'm assuming we have a plan for the ritual with the Goddess's Idol?"
All the men grimaced a little when she mentioned the ritual.
"Huh?... Why are you grimacing?... Do you not have a plan?"
Lord Brice was the one to chime in, "It was more of a delay tactic... But we have some concerns about the ritual, Princess."
Rya's left brow raised up, and she asked, "Oh? What kind of concerns?"
Quinus explained, "General Douglas got a report from one of the guards in the West Wing of Parliament... My Uncle visited the Prime Minister in his office... We are worried that they are trying to rig the ritual... We don't know how they plan to rig the ritual, but we suspect foul play."
"Hmm?... Should I send my Golems to your Uncle's house and capture or kill him?" Rya asked with a stoic face.
Gawain began to sweat while Brice's smile faded. Quinus stared at Rya for a few seconds before he started laughing. Rya's stoic face started to crack a little, and her lips curved into a slight smirk.
"Rya?... You played it too straight... I think Lord Gawain might have soiled himself?" Quinus stated as he pointed at the old man.
Brice started laughing nervously, but he played it off like he was in the know. "She's got you, Gawain. Ha, ha. That was a good one."
Gawain scowled, and he muttered, "That wasn't funny! It's a serious matter."
Rya sighed and asked, "So, what should I do? If they have already rigged the ritual, then how can I change their plans?"
Brice shrugged, "I'll try to find out, but Alaric is a sneaky one. And we have to figure out how he will achieve his goals."
Rya sat there and thought about it for a minute. 'I'm sure that bastard won't let down his guard that easily... But the Prime Minister might let it slip about what they are planning. If I can get some info on that, I can have one of my Golems sneak into the ritual room and find out what's happening.'
"How long until the ritual starts?" Rya asked.
"Five Days. That's when the King and Queen should be back to witness the ritual." Lord Brice responded.
Rya nodded her head, "Okay... I think the best way to determine their plans is by spying on the Prime Minister... The Duke is used to being spied on, but Duval probably isn't."
Brice thought about it for a minute, then he agreed, "That makes sense... But we should assume that Alaric might have left out details about their plans in case Duval gets interrogated. And even if we can find out, there's no telling what the Duke might be hiding."
Rya nodded her head and said, "True... But he may be desperate... I'm the one who is throwing a wreck into his plans, and I'm sure he wants me dead or gone."
Quinus grabbed Rya's hand and squeezed it gently.
"Rya, don't worry. I won't let him get his hands on you."
Rya's face turned red, and she smiled, "He has another thing coming if he thinks he can just kill me off."
Quinus smirked as well, "Things would be easier if he did... Because then we can have the kingdom hunt him down and put an end to his ambitions."
'Yeah... It would... But he knows how powerful we are, so he probably won't try to take our lives directly... At least not until after I'm out of the picture.'
Rya shook her head and replied, "Either way, we will find out their plans and stop them from ruining our future together... But I have to ask... What happens if both Hilda and I pass the trial or don't? I'm assuming the Idol won't respond to us as the likely outcome, so what's the plan if that happens?"
Quinus, Johan, Gawain, and Brice all looked at each other and nodded their heads.
"Then we need to get you in the eye of the court as much as possible. The more you can influence the ladies of the court, the more likely the Major Houses will start to believe that you are the right choice to be the Crown Prince's wife." Johan spoke.
"It won't be easy. Hilda has an advantage because she is a human foreigner. She doesn't know the inner politics of the court. So, she can easily be manipulated by the other Noble houses and the Prime Minister. We are already seeing Duchess Leandra Revelia interacting with Hilda during the emergence meeting," Lord Gawain informed us.
'Hmm... So I must out-charm Hilda and gain the court's attention before the end of the month... That won't be easy... But if I can win over the hearts and minds of the people, then we might stand a chance against the Major Houses and the Prime Minister,' Rya thought.
"Okay... But we shouldn't assume that Princess Hilda is some naive little girl. She's smarter than what others think she is... Leandra is in a world of hurt if she thinks she can manipulate Hilda." Rya chuckled.
Everyone was curious about her response.
"How do you know this, Milady?" Gawain asked.
Rya had a sheepish grin while being a little embarrassed. She scratched her cheek and laughed awkwardly, "I... I ran into Hilda in the garden... I didn't realize she was a Princess of the Divine Three, but she looked troubled... So I sat beside her and chatted about what was troubling her... She was grateful and thoughtful, and she worried about philosophical questions like... Why Divine beings are the way that they are? She was afraid that the Gods only talked to men and didn't see what was so special about being a female. It was... An interesting conversation, especially since she was willing to listen... That means she's willing to grow and learn new things... You all saw how she stood up to Terenthiel... That isn't a woman who can't adapt to a situation. She was angry, and she wasn't going to let Terenthiel push her around... And I fear I was the one to help her find that courage to stand up to Terenthiel," Rya explained.
Quinus nodded. "When you first look at her, you would assume that she's a shy, naive, and innocent girl who was forced into an arranged marriage. But you're right... She has a fiery temper similar to yours, my love. And she can be scary when she's angry," he laughed.
Rya grimaced, 'Of all the times that I help out someone... I helped my enemy... Plus, I think she's found a higher purpose... She's not going to leave me alone, isn't she?'
Rya's face grew grim, and she nodded her head. "Well, that's all well and good, but it doesn't help the fact that there are a lot of people who would want to sabotage my relationship with you, Quin. And that is what troubles me... I can deal with a political or physical adversary... But I don't know how to change the mind of a woman who now wants to marry you because of my race," Rya said.
"She's going to deal with reality at some point. We have to make sure she realizes the truth and accepts that you are the one who will marry the Crown Prince," Johan replied.
Rya looked at the young Lord from across the table. "I hope you're right... because I may have to come to some realities of my own," Rya sighed.
Rya didn't want to say what she meant, but she could see that her friends were trying to guess.
"You... You're not going to leave... Are you?" Tayna asked with a hint of concern.
"No... It's not that... I can't... I just have a feeling that I can't shake..." Rya muttered.
"A feeling?" Quinus asked.
'Yeah... Like the possibility of not getting pregnant... God... There's a part of me that is spooked about giving birth, but another part of me is sad that I may never get the chance... I can't explain it, but I feel like I will have to compromise to be with Quin... I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. I won't have a solution until it happens...'
"I can't say for sure... Just a hunch," Rya chuckled nervously.
Quinus looked concerned, but he didn't press the issue.
"Well, it's best not to dwell on such things for too long, Princess Rya... We will try to determine what the Duke and the Marquess are planning. So please relax and enjoy yourself. We will have your back no matter what," Lord Brice said with a smile.
"Yeah... We will protect you, Rya," Quinus smiled.
"Thank you... All of you," Rya replied.
'This is why I need to be stronger... If I'm going to live here and have a child, I need to get stronger to protect the people I care about... That way, I can—Augh!? What the!?' Rya's thoughts were interrupted when Quinus carefully snuck his hand under her skirt.
Quinus rubbed her inner thigh and moved his hand closer to her vagina.
Rya's face flushed, and her heart started beating fast. She looked around at everyone, but they seemed not to notice. She wanted to scold him for teasing her in front of everyone, but when Quin's finger grazed her lower lips, her breath hitched.
'Ahh... I should be more upset about this, but I can't bring myself to stop him. My body wants it, and my heart wants it...'
Rya spread her legs a bit to give Quinus better access. She was wet and ready.
Quinus smiled and slipped his fingers inside her and pumped them slowly.
Rya straightened her posture in hopes of hiding her arousal from the rest of the table. Her face was red, and her heart was pounding. Her breathing was a little shallow, and she struggled to stay focused on what Johan, Gawain, and Brice were talking about.
'Q-Quin!... Y-You are going to get us caught!' Rya's eyes widened when Quinus pushed his fingers in deeper.
Quinus continued his assault, and the table continued their conversation.
"I think that's enough business for now, gentlemen. Let's continue this later," Quinus smirked.
Lord Brice and Lord Gawain looked at the Prince and bowed.
"As you wish, My Lord... We will let you be," Brice chuckled.
Gawain was confused, but he didn't question his Prince.
Johan, Tanya, and Nieren were confused by Rya's change in demeanor. She looked stiff and anxious. Yuliana, Percy, and Sir George didn't notice as they watched the two Royal Council members leaving the room. Dalia was looking bored after eating everything on her plate, but then her nose started to twitch when Rya's mating scent hit her nose.
Dalia looked at Rya, and her eyes went wide at first, but then she gave the Dark Elf that all-knowing smirk. Rya was too lost in pleasure to notice Dalia's smirk.
'I... I'm going to cum!' Rya thought as her legs opened wider for Quinus' fingers to enter.
Dalia decided to help her Alpha get some alone time. "Hey!... How about we go to the living room? It's too stuffy in here," Dalia suggested.
Johan and Tayna were confused by Dalia's suggestion.
"What's wrong with this room?" Johan asked.
"I said it was stuffy, and I want to have some sweets in the living room!" Dalia huffed.
Percy panicked when Dalia was being short with a future Major Lord.
"Y-Yes, that sounds like a great idea... S-Sir George, what do you think?..." Percy looked over at Sir George for backup.
"Huh? Why are you asking me?" George was confused.
"Uh... Because I need your opinion?..." Percy answered.
Johan laughed at how worried the young ranger became and got up. "You don't have to get all snappy, Lady Dalia... But you're right, let's get out of here and have some cake and tea in the living room," Johan smiled as he stood up and offered his hand to his wife.
Tayna looked at her husband's hand and then looked over at her best friend, whose face was a shade of red.
'Why is she so red all of a sudden? Is she that worried about the ritual?... I'd better give Rya her space.' Tayna wondered as she got up and accepted her husband's hand.
Dalia hurried over to Percy and grabbed his hand.
"You're coming with me!" Dalia dragged Percy out of his seat and pulled him with her.
Percy wasn't sure what got into his girlfriend as she dragged him out of his seat.
"Okay, I'm coming, no need to drag me," Percy sighed.
Dalia smiled and kissed him on the cheek. "Good boy."
Sir George shook his head as he got up from the table and followed the group.
Yuliana and Nieren followed George, but Nieren stopped at the doorway and looked back at Quinus and Rya. She thought her adopted sister was in a trance as the Dark Elf sat a little more upright in her chair.
"Are you okay, Rya?" Nieren asked, concern etched on her face.
"Huh?" Rya was jolted from her trance, her eyes wide and unfocused. "Oh, I'm fine, I just... Augh... I just—"
"Rya has something she wishes to discuss in private, Lady Nieren... We'll try and join you and the others in the living room soon," Quinus interjected, his voice smooth and reassuring as his fingers slipped deeper, teasingly exploring her.
Rya's body quaked with waves of ecstasy as Quinus’ fingers expertly traced her G-spot, sending shivers of pleasure coursing through her. She bit down on her bottom lip, desperate to suppress the moans threatening to escape her lips, savoring the tantalizing mix of anticipation and desire.
"Oh, I see..." Nieren said, her curiosity piqued. She turned to leave, her expression a mix of intrigue and uncertainty. "Well, see you later."
Once she was a few feet from the living room, she paused, her elven ears straining to catch the faintest sound of what was unfolding from down the hallway, and inside the office, where Quinus and Rya were having their private chat. ‘Did I just hear a moan?’ she wondered, her pulse quickening as she pressed her back against the wall. She was well aware she shouldn't be lurking, but unable to resist the intoxicating allure of the moment.
Conflicted emotions churned within her. ‘Wait!? Why am I doing this? I need to stop eavesdropping on my Prince and Sister,’ she thought, but even as she chided herself, excitement coursed through her veins. The prospect of hearing her sister's soft moans mingling with Quin's grunts was both thrilling and troubling.
‘What the hell is wrong with me?!’ Nieren grappled with her own desires, but she couldn't help herself as she found a dark corner to hide in as she continued to listen in. Her loins were becoming excited, and her chest was tight. She had never been this worked up before. It was probably due to getting caught by a servant in the hallway. Nieren knew that it was rude and immature, but she couldn't help herself as her elven ears twitched, picking up on every muffled sound.
Meanwhile, Rya was trying not to moan loudly while the Crown Prince was fingering her pussy.
"Auh... Q-Quin!?... Are you crazy... Augh!... I'm not an exhibitionist... Ooh!..." Rya whispered as her body began to sweat.
Quinus moved his lips closer to her ear, "I wanted to cheer you up... I hate seeing you worried about the ritual... And I was wondering if we could... Um... Could..." Quinus' mind was lost in her scent. His fingers were getting drenched as he fingered her faster and deeper.
Rya arched her back and opened her legs wider.
'Oh, FUCK!... I-I should chastise him for doing this in front of everyone! B-But... OH GOD! I NEED THIS!' She thought as she looked at Quin.
"What did you want, My Prince?" Rya moaned out.
"Ahh... Can I... Make love to you again, Babe?..." Quinus blushed and whispered.
Rya looked down at the Prince, who was still rubbing her pussy. She watched his fingers disappear inside of her. It made her think about the last time they fucked. And she really wanted him to fuck her hard.
"Augh!... Please fuck me, My Prince!..." Rya begged and whispered.
Quinus nodded as he stood up and removed his trousers and boxers. His cock was rock hard. Rya quickly lifted up the skirt of her dress and lowered her panties to her ankles. Then she wrapped her arms around Quin's neck and her legs around his waist.
'Aunh!... I've become such a slut for this man! B-But I can't help it! My body needs him!' Rya thought as she felt Quin's cock teased the entrance of her pussy.
"Ooh!... Put it in me!" Rya begged.
"Hush... Don't want anyone to hear us..." Quinus said.
"S-Sorry... Augh!..." Rya moaned and apologized.
Quinus thrust his cock inside of her wet pussy and started pushing. Rya closed her eyes tight and clenched her teeth together as she felt her vaginal walls stretch wide open.
"Aaagh!!!" Rya cried out.
"Shhh!!!..." Quinus shushed.
Rya bit down on the collar of Quinus' shirt and pulled it into her mouth to muffle her loud moans. Quinus' cock stretched her pussy to the max. He was balls deep inside her.
Rya's juices squirted out of her pussy, all over his thighs and the carpeted floor. Quinus was having trouble holding back his grunts as well. Rya's tight, warm pussy squeezed his cock so tightly.
"Augh... You're so damn tight... Babe..." Quinus whispered as he leaned forward and pushed his chest against hers.
"Mmmmh!" Rya moaned.
"Mmmmmhhhh!!!..." Quinus moaned back.
Quinus kissed her lips and started pumping his hips. Rya's legs were trembling. She was so excited and scared at the same time. She knew that there were servants outside of the room, and she didn't want them to catch her fucking the Crown Prince.
"Uhhh!!!..." Rya gasped as she broke off the kiss.
Quinus pumped faster.
"Aaahhh!!..." Rya moaned.
"Gah!... Babe!... You're squeezing me too tight!" Quinus groaned.
"I'm sorry, Quin! But I'm more sensitive than normal! Aungh!" Rya apologized.
"Don't worry about it... Augh!" Quinus replied.
Rya closed her eyes and bit her bottom lip as she felt his cock slide in and out of her. She was trying to do everything in her power not to scream out in joy. But Quinus was making it so difficult.
'This is the most intense feeling that I've ever experienced in my entire life! How does sex keep getting better with Quin after all the times we've fucked?...' Rya thought.
"Fuck, you feel amazing, Babe... Uhhhh!!!..." Quinus moaned.
"Oohh!!... Mmmmmhhh!!" Rya moaned and tried not to scream.
She could feel his hot breath against her neck.
"Ohh!!... Aungh!!..." Rya moaned quietly.
Quinus continued pounding away at her.
The two enjoyed themselves immensely as they made love in the dining room. But someone was listening from far away in a corner of the hallway in the palace.
Nieren was hiding in the shadows and had her head close to the wall. Her long, elven ears were twitching every time she heard Quinus grunt and moan in pleasure.
'H-He's trying to hide his morns... And so is Sis!... Do they know I'm listening?...' Nieren thought.
Nieren had a confused expression on her face as she listened in.
"Uhhh!!!... Fuck!!..." Quinus grunted and then moaned.
"Augh!!!... Mmmmh!!!..." Rya moaned back.
Nieren could hear their moans clearly, and they were getting louder by the minute. The more the Wood Elf listened, the more her idle hands slid down her body.
"Mmm... Ahhh!!!..." Nieren moaned as she slipped her fingers into her panties and rubbed her clit.
Nieren's cheeks were flushed, and she felt embarrassed for being turned on by listening to her sister have sex.
'Why am I like this? Aungh!...' Nieren thought as she fingered her pussy.
"Oh, Goddess!... You're so beautiful, Babe," Quinus' muffled voice came through the walls.
"M-My Prince?... A-Am I beautiful?... Agh..." Nieren whispered.
'No, stop! I mustn't let myself become entangled with this man!... He's just a human! He's nothing spe—'
"Yes, you are, my love," Quinus answered.
"Ahhhhh!!..." Rya cried out.
'By the Spirits!...' Nieren thought to herself as she heard her sister scream in pleasure.
Her fingers were furiously rubbing her clit as her mind filled with thoughts of her prince. She was imagining being in Rya's place.
'This is so wrong... But I can't stop!'
"Uhhh!!!... Aungh!!"
'Why is my pussy getting wet?...' Nieren thought while blushing. She masturbated a couple of times when listening to Quinus making love, but she feared inserting her fingers inside ever since she had her Mana Lust kick in back at Ironside.
"Ahhhhhh!..."
"Mmmph!!... Aghhh!!... Fuckkk!!..." Quinus' voice was barely audible.
Nieren couldn't hold back anymore as her lust swept aside her fears.
"Goddess... Ohhh!..." she moaned.
She slipped a finger inside and felt how slick it was. It was so wet that her finger slid all the way up to the knuckle.
Nieren shivered and whimpered as her body reacted.
'S-So good...'
The elf's eyes glazed over, and her breathing became heavy. She inserted another finger and slowly thrust them in and out, enjoying the sensation of her wetness.
'Oh no... Oh SPIRITS NO!'
She started thrusting faster and faster until she was frantically fingering herself.
"Uhhh!!... Aughhh!!..."
"Ahhhhh!!!..." Rya's muffled moans rang through the walls.
'No... N-No way... I can't lose control! I won't!...'
"Mmmmph!!"
Nieren could feel the pressure building up in her stomach as her body trembled. Her legs started shaking uncontrollably as she continued masturbating, and the intense pleasure kept building up until she reached her climax.
"OH, GODDESS!!!..." she cried out as her juices exploded from her pussy.
Her whole body convulsed with each wave of orgasm, and her mind went blank from the intense ecstasy. This was the second time she's ever had an orgasm, but this time it felt like her soul had left her body and flew straight into the heavens.
When she came back down, she collapsed on the floor, panting heavily.
'W-What just happened?... O-Oh yeah... Sis and Quin were having sex...'
Nieren wiped away the sweat streaming down her face and looked down at her soaked pants.
'I-I'm not some naughty elf!... This is just some strange phase I'm going through!... A-And it's Sister's fault for making me this way after healing my mana vein... So it's only fair to listen in and learn what pleases the humans. Yes!...'
Nieren was trying to lie to herself. But it was becoming harder and harder to justify listening to Rya and Quinus have sex.
She couldn't deny her attraction to Quinus and the feelings she was developing for him. But she couldn't act on these feelings because her sister was in love with him.
'This is just some kind of sick perversion... It'll go away eventually... Maybe I should talk to Sister about it.'
But the more she listened to the couple, the more aroused she got, and the harder it was to resist temptation. Nieren was ready for a second round and just as her right hand was about to slip into the waistband of her pants, the door to the living room opened into the hallway.
"Hey, I found..." Dalia's voice trailed off.
The Wolfkin stared at the panting wood elf and smirked.
"Uhhhhmmmmm?"
"H-How long have you been standing there?..." Nieren asked nervously.
"I just opened the door, Woody... And why do I smell your mating scent?... Have you been listening to someone mating?..."
"NO!... I-I was checking out this spot because it could be a dangerous spot for someone to use as a hiding place or something!... A-And your nose must be smelling something else!... It's not me!..."
Nieren's eyes darted back and forth, trying to find everything else to use as a distraction.
"I think I need to go to the bathroom!... Yes! I'll make sure that there's no blind spots in their to spy on our guests!..."
Dalia watched the wood elf speed walk away towards the bathroom and smirked.
"You're such a horrible liar, Woody."
The wolfkin's nose twitched again.
"Oh! The sweets are here!" Dalia returned to the room where Percy, Johan, Tayna, Yuliana, and Sir George sat. The servants were serving a dessert of honey cakes and milk.
"Where's Nieren, Lady Rya, and Prince Quinus?..." Tayna asked the Wolfkin.
"Woody's running to the bathroom or something, and Alpha and Beta are nowhere in sight. Oh? What do we have here?..."
Dalia licked her lips and snatched up the plate of honey cakes from a servant.
"These are mine!"
Tayna sighed and rolled her eyes.
"Lady Dalia!... Your cravings are out of control..."
"Oh, hush!... I like to see how you hold up to your own cravings if you were the one carrying pups inside you!... So don't judge me!"
Tayna smiled and shook her head.
"Fair enough... But maybe you should learn some restraint..."
"I have no idea what that word means."
Dalia stuffed a piece of honey cake into her mouth.
"Delicious!..."
"It's a wonder how she has maintained that figure," Johan whispered to his wife.
Percy scratched the back of his head. "I've been wondering that too."
Yuliana smirked at the three humans, "That's Beastkins for you... They are blessed with bodies that maintain their figure even when they gain weight.
"I read that, Lady Yuliana, but when you see it in person... It doesn't seem possible," Johan said in awe as the Wolfkin ate her tenth piece of honey cake.
"I kind of wish that I were born a Wolfkin," Tayna said while staring at Dalia's lean body, which had a baby bump.
Dalia licked her fingers and looked at Tayna, "You know what?... You humans are okay in my book!... And I have decided to allow you all to watch the births of my pups."
"Huh?... Is that some type of honor in Beastkin culture?" Johan asked.
"Of course, it is. Only a close-pack member would get this honor," Dalia said proudly, making Percy panic.
"But-but-but we can't let everyone see that!..." Percy cried.
"What are you so worried about, Gamma?... Oh!... It's a human thing not to let other humans to see my body... Well, if my Gamma doesn't want any other humans watching. Then, they will be forced to leave. Is that okay?..."
Percy sighed, "It's not that... It's just... We shouldn't ask a noble to watch something that could be very messy."
"Oh, that's it? I can clean the floors afterward. Now stop complaining, Gamma!"
Dalia finished off the last of the honey cakes and milk and left to go get another plate of food from the kitchen. Percy went after her to stop her.
"Dalia! Wait!... The servants will give you more!"
Johan, Tayna, Yuliana, and Sir George watched Percy and the servants trying to stop the hungry Wolfkin from entering the kitchen.
"How much does it take to satisfy her hunger?..." Johan asked the other three.
"I don't know... But I heard that certain breeds of Beastkins can eat up to two times their own body weight in food when they are pregnant. She must be carrying multiple puppies in there..." Yuliana answered.
"Oh! That's a lot of puppies," Tayna said with a shiver.
Sir George shook his head, "This will not end well for the servants... And I can't imagine Young Percy being a father of four or five kids..."
Yuliana chuckled, "I can't imagine being a mother at such a young age. But then again, I'm an elf, and we age more slowly than most races."
They all nodded as they watched Dalia successfully pass the servants and enter the kitchen. They were causing a stir from behind the door.
"Oh! My poor former apprentice!... What has he gotten himself into?..." Sir George said as he heard Percy trying to stop Dalia.
What do you think?
