Chapter 1042: Chapter 1041: Another Day In The Desert
"We'll discuss this more later... for now, we need to focus on the other things that are important, like making use of the gemstones that we do have, doing some extra research on the Sultanate itself to learn about any hotspots that are worth checking out - Dungeons mainly, but also any interesting rumors or news that might lead to some decent gains."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The Demoness brushed past my suggestion instantly instead of addressing it, which made me sigh as I finished up brewing this pot of coffee and instead moved on like she wanted me to, even though I very much thought this was a valid conversation to be having and that we were all mature enough to handle that conversation...
Though that thought made me sigh as I realized that I myself wasn't being that mature either in thinking that, since I was trying to justify my own opinion and excuse it while downplaying the emotions it must have caused for Jahi, who had to think about letting her woman, her soul bound lover going around seducing other people.
Even if it was for a profit, for a good cause that benefitted us immensely, it was still a large ask of her, so I focused on the coffee before carrying the pot over to the small lounge like room that they were all sitting in, each of my lovers basking in the gentle breeze and warm desert air.
"I don't know how you all enjoy this heat this much... I already feel like I'm melting somewhat!"
Anput accepted the cup gratefully before grinning at me rather lustfully as she instantly said "Well then, why don't you go on and get changed into something culturally appropriate~? We figured out the best way to stay cool, so you should make use of it~!"
I rolled my eyes at her as I replied "You just want to see me practically naked, don't you? If that's what you want... why don't you come over here and strip me yourself, Anput-?", which made my mate's grin widen as she was about to stand up and do just that, only to blink in surprise as Jahi grabbed her by the waist and pulled her back down instantly.
"Don't tease her now, Kat... we already have spent enough time having sex this morning, unless you're willing to take us all again for a little while?"
The Demoness stared at me for a few moments, and while I wanted to respond to her 'don't threaten me with a good time', the memories of Khisba were still physically affecting me, the aching in my hips and the soreness inside making me shudder for a moment as I shook my head to answer Jahi.
"That's what I thought... and Anput..."
Turning her gaze to the Jackalkin, Jahi narrowed her eyes before we all turned towards the door as someone knocked, saving Anput from whatever scolding she was about to receive whilst also keeping the Jackalkin there just in case this knock wasn't important so that she could give her said scolding later.
"Begum Anput..? Are you awake just yet..?"
The voice of Yasmin drifted into the room, and I had to fight to keep a straight face as I hid behind my coffee mug, sipping on the rich, slightly sweet liquid I had brewed that I had made even better with some cream and a spoonful of sugar.
"Yes, Yasmin! I'm awake! Did you need something?"
Settling into the sofa, Anput took a sip from her drink as well after Jahi let her go, the Demoness being generous to her as she helped her save face in front of the servant she had known for many years... which prompted me to take a longer sip.
The door opened to reveal the buxom Dogkin servant, her gentle smile and bright expression warming the room even more than it already was, while her curves certainly warmed us all up as well...
"Not particularly, Begum. The Sultana hasn't emerged from her chambers just yet, so the kitchen have breakfast on hold for now... apparently, some of the other servants are gossiping that the pink skinned woman the Sultana brought back is to be her second wife..?"
Yasmin walked on inside and made her way over to us, her eyes landing on the coffee pot before they moved on over to everyone's expressions, taking in how we all felt about the coffee and nodding, that smile still lingering on her plump lips.
"Ah, and you made coffee already~! Would you care for something light before breakfast, Begum? I can whip something up shortly if you desire something to eat?"
"Hm? No, not really Yasmin; we'll just wait till breakfast. Why are the servants gossiping about my Mom taking that Fiend as a wife..?"
Yasmin's smile faded slightly as she looked towards the curtains, taking a moment to think before hesitantly saying "Some of them claim to have heard another woman's moans on that side of the palace... and... we haven't tried to learn them, but we are aware of what Lady Kio's voice sounds like, so... I imagine whomever might have heard them last night... Of course, we cannot be certain since the Sultana herself hasn't said anything, and this could all just be rumors for the sake of rumors!"
I glanced at Anput - as did Jahi and Leone, the three of us staring at the Jackalkin with slight worry since Yasmin was telling her that there was a chance that her Mom had decided to bang a Fiend - and took in her rather neutral expression, which made me sniff the air briefly as I used her pheromones to gauge her emotions, something that only resulted in her meeting my gaze and raising a brow as she tilted her head.
"It's not my place to worry who my Mom decides to press under herself, and besides... I do think it'd be rather amusing to see how Mother reacts, no? I imagine if that really happened, the palace would be falling apart already... especially after she announced she was pregnant again; when I think back on the time I was here and she was pregnant, I seem to recall few peaceful mornings and nights with them both..."
The servant kept her own expression neutral, though I caught her looking between Anput and I for a moment before she nodded her head and replied "Lady Kio's greatest strengths and sometimes greatest faults have always lied within her strong emotions. It is why the Sera Pack has continued to exist and prospered ever since she assumed the mantle of Pack Leader." "Emotional is certainly the first word that comes to mind for Mother... Was that all, Yasmin? If so, would you mind telling the kitchens to begin preparing the table for breakfast; the scent of good cuisine should lure my parents out, and at the very least my adorable sisters need to eat soon."
"Very well, Begum Anput."
Bowing deeply to Anput, Yasmin gave us all a bow as well before turning around and walking out of the room, closing the door behind her and removing herself from our view, that sight of her wide hips swaying up and down with each step making me feel relieved as I turned back to Anput, who I noticed was still staring at the door.
"So... your Mom might be indulging in something purple at night now..?"
Jahi broke her from her trance, causing Anput to snort as she shook her head, while Leone blushed at that, the Vampire coughing slightly as she almost choked on her coffee.
"Nah, I don't buy it. Well, yes, I think my Mom wouldn't have an issue breaking that Fiend's back and her bed; she's never been subtle about wanting a harem to appease her appetites, but I don't think she fucked a Fiend last night. Like I said, my Mother would have been breaking this palace apart in a rage already if that was the case."
"Or- your Mother is currently drunk on pleasure after being introduced to the bliss of not one, but two thick, bulbous knots~? After all, little puppy, you got to feel just~ how wonderful that mist was, right-?"
Cali appeared on the table and poured some of the coffee into the air itself, catching it in her mana and guiding it upwards towards her lips, only for her lascivious smile to stiffen when her snakes all fought to get a taste first, each serpent pulling her head down and away from the coffee as they flicked their tongues out and licked the brown liquid.
"You... Argh, fine... Ever since I met you, Katherine, they've been oh-so disobedient... I demand compensation for this!"
Cali glared at me for a moment before sighing when the snakes all pulled back and hissed at her, the Arch Fiend rolling her eyes and ignoring them as she turned back towards Anput, who's relaxed confidence had waned somewhat with that revelation.
"Yes, it's entirely~ possible Sla'Salaxi got herself a good, snug position as the Sultana's
personal little toy~! See, even though she's-! Well, her puppets aren't entirely 'lifeless', if you get my meaning~! Us Sla Fiends are fertile enough if we want to be~!"
