Days in the Royal Capital!
I opened my eyes to find Klea and Lizbet asleep on either side of me, using my arms as pillows and breathing softly with those cute little snores. Ha... this was pure bliss. Waking up to a woman tucked under each arm—what a life. I never imagined I'd end up like this... Isekai reincarnation. Hell yeah. Horse cock reincarnation for the win!
"Mmngh..."
I must've squeezed my arm without realizing it, because Lizbet twitched and shifted beside me. How late did we go last night? No clock, so I had no idea. The sun was just peeking over the horizon outside... Oh right, if we kept sleeping like this, Baul might come looking?
I glanced at Klea in a panic, but there she was, plastered to my body with a serene expression that made it hard to believe she'd tried anal for the first time last night. Looking at her belly, it was flat as a board now—who knew when all that horse semen I'd pumped into her had vanished? Damn... even seeing it with my own eyes, it's unbelievable. Someday when I've got nothing better to do, I should crack open a book on Essentia science and figure this shit out.
But first things first—time to wake Klea and send her back to her room.
"Liz. Klea. Wake up. It's morning."
"Mmngh... Masterrr..."
"...Mm..."
I gently shook their arms, and they blinked up at me sleepily. Lizbet grinned at me, while Klea looked dazed, like she hadn't quite grasped the situation yet.
"Ah, good morning... Sema."
Then it hit her. Her face flushed crimson, and she bowed her head shyly as she greeted me.
Since there was a washing machine in the room, I tossed in Klea's clothes—drenched in my horse semen from last night—and the three of us lounged on the bed for a bit. Klea had freaked out at first when she woke up and felt the huge bead lodged in her ass... but to my relief, when we pulled it out, her hole closed up perfectly, like nothing had happened. I double-checked if she was okay, and aside from a slight throbbing, she seemed fine.
"Klea. So, what's the verdict? Made up your mind?"
"Ah, w-well..."
Lizbet asked with a mischievous grin from her spot on the bed, and Klea trailed off awkwardly.
"No rush♡ We've got plenty of time♡ The saintess election's still a month away, right? If we spend every night together until then... you'll figure out how you feel♡"
Lizbet giggled gleefully, and Klea swallowed hard, managing a faint smile.
"Y-yeah... you're right. There's time..."
Looks like Klea had decided to join us every night until the saintess election. As we chatted on the massive bed, the washing machine beeped that it was done, so I handed Klea her clothes.
Before she left in her nightie dress, Lizbet stopped her and pulled something from her bag.
"Klea. A gift♡"
She fastened it around Klea's neck. Up close, it was a choker necklace just like the one Lizbet wore—complete with a horse bit pendant. Had she made an extra one in advance...?
"It's a necklace with the ornament from the guild emblem Master and I made. Means you're his♡"
Wait... yeah, the guild emblem was designed with that in mind, but when did the horse bit become a symbol like that?
"Your nun habit has that scarf from shoulders to neck, so you can cover it up. No one'll notice. Wear it if you want♡"
"...Yes. Thank you, Lizbet."
"Heehee, after a night like that? Just call me Liz♡"
"...Hehe. Got it, Liz."
Seems Klea planned to wear it. Essentia folks might not get what the bit means anyway, even if they saw it... but is that okay? Eh, whatever. Seeing her wear something that symbolizes me felt pretty damn good. And watching those two with their oddly improved vibe? It even warmed my heart a little.
"Mm... Think we can chill a bit before heading down? Alright, Klea—wash up in your room, rest a little, and we'll meet in about an hour?"
"Yes. I'll be ready."
After sending Klea off, Lizbet and I cleaned up and got ready to head out.
Outside, we ran into Baul waiting by the inn. When I asked why he hadn't come up, he explained this was a guest lodge for church VIPs— even bishops who knew the guests weren't allowed above the second floor. He could've called up, but we'd come down right before he did.
Oh ho... so no more early morning Baul visits? Klea's room stays empty every night. Bonus: he added that the place had top-notch security and protective magic for peace of mind at night. He beamed proudly at Klea, saying he'd pulled some strings for her safety.
Of course, it wasn't easy even for him normally, but since a rare Divine Beast like me was a guest, the church had approved after some thought. No wonder the bed was huge and so damn comfy. Thanks, Baul. I'll make good use of this luxury spot for devouring Klea.
(Thanks for the prime real estate, trash.)
We grabbed breakfast in the empty church dining hall and asked about the schedule.
"First off, the palace has invited you, Sema. They're sending a carriage today—wants you to come by. Seems they really want to meet a Divine Beast like you."
Eek... off to see the king? Scary as hell.
"Luckily, the royals seem to like you—not forcing citizenship on an adventurer like you. Other Divine Beasts clash with the kingdom sometimes."
Baul reassured me, echoing something I'd heard before: just be polite, and they'd treat me well.
"Today, visit the palace. Tomorrow, meet our goddess church's Pope and others. They're all excited, but palace comes first."
King this, Pope that—I'm a total celeb horse now. Wait, isekai life means kings and popes won't leave me alone? Though they're probably just middle-aged dudes! Pfft. Whatever, I'll butter 'em up and bounce.
"What about Klea? Pope's at the church, fine—but if I'm at the palace..."
"Haha, no worries inside the church. No crazies would cause trouble there. For verification, royals send escorts too—so you and Lizbet just keep an eye out for weirdos around her."
Wonder what happens if someone does fuck around in the church to make him so cocky... Fine, if it's safe, I'll head out quick.
"I'll stick with Klea. Palace sounds like a hassle, and someone needs to stay with her."
Lizbet, who'd been listening quietly, declared she'd stay—and whispered her real reason in my ear.
"Gonna make sure Baul doesn't get too clingy. Have fun, Master♡"
Urk. Baul had been gazing fondly at Klea the whole chat! Brutal, Lizbet! I chuckled, said I'd be back soon, and warned Klea to stay cautious even in the church.
"Yes. I'll be careful. Come back safe... Master—no, Sema."
That slip-up while she panicked? Yeah, the day she becomes my bitch is coming soon. Satisfied, I finished breakfast, waited a bit, and hopped into the royal carriage with their envoy—off to the palace.
