Chapter 109: The Queen's Return (1)
It’s already been fifteen days... no, maybe three weeks since I sent Andrasta away.
Anyway, that’s how much time has passed.
Of course, thanks to Helena, Sitri, Natalia, and Valeria, my days have been a dream-like blur of tangling with beauties whenever our eyes meet, but…
‘I still feel like something’s missing…’
Come to think of it, I never even got to touch those lion ears on her head.
Plus, I didn't get a taste of that back-pussy that would twitch and beg for it every time I hammered her…
—Twitch, twitch…
“Ha… just thinking about it makes it…”
My proud and precious Heaven-sent Sword was huffing and puffing, as if it were just as disappointed as I was.
Tsk, now’s a bit of a bad time, though.
Helena is currently busy training the new maids who just joined the mansion.
Valeria is back at her family home, saying she needs to show her face there once in a while.
“Sitri~”
“No way… Reiner was the Armored Giant…?”
Even Sitri is completely absorbed in a legendary masterpiece from my memories.
Well, I can’t blame her for that one.
And Natalia is out again today, acting as the swordsmanship instructor for the knight order…
—Knock, knock.
“Master, it’s me.”
“Huh?”
Why is Natalia back already?
Even as the thought crossed my mind, I was already letting her into the consultation room.
I even pulled her straight onto my lap.
Natalia seemed a bit flustered, but she obediently leaned her back against me.
“Why are you back so early?”
—Slide…
My hand naturally slipped inside Natalia’s clothes.
Natalia gave a slight shiver, but she answered while pressing a kiss to my neck.
“I completely forgot they were doing outdoor maneuver training today.”
“Aha. The army really is the army, I guess.”
“Fufu, indeed. They did ask me to observe if I wanted to, but…”
“You came straight back to me?”
“Yes… for some reason… mngh…! I had a feeling that if I came back now… something good would happen…! Ahh…!”
“Haha, a woman’s intuition, is it? So? Was your intuition right?”
“Fufu, well… if you love me a little more… ahhaang…♥”
Before I knew it, Natalia was lying on the table, spreading her legs wide and presenting her plump maternal love pouches to me.
I started by slowly lifting her elegantly styled skirt, admiring Natalia’s Black Forest as it was gradually revealed.
“Ahn, Master… it’s embarrassing when you stare so intently…”
“For someone saying that, you have a very slutty-looking pussy. It’s so hairy, and the color is so deep…”
“Aang…!”
“And this oversized clitoris. It looks delicious every time I see it.”
“Haah, haah…!”
Natalia’s increasingly ragged breathing was proof.
It was proof that this woman was the type to get soaked just by being made to feel shame and embarrassment, even if I didn't lay a finger on her.
‘Hmm… then should I make her even more embarrassed…?’
—Clatter, clatter…
“Master…?”
“Since we’re at it, let’s try this.”
I pulled out the shaving foam and razor I had prepared for Valeria.
“Ma-Master.”
“You don’t want to?”
“It’s… it’s not that I don’t want to… but it’s embarrassing…”
Seeing Natalia with her legs crossed, I briefly thought about doing it later.
But the boy inside me was already chanting the one spell Natalia could never refuse.
“Maman…”
“?!”
“Can we really not do it…?”
“D-do whatever you want. M-Mom… Mommy is fine with it…!”
Natalia spread her legs wide once more.
Her pussy was noticeably more drenched than before, and her eyes flickered with a dangerous glint.
‘That kind of play is definitely going to be fun.’
With that thought, I slowly spread the foam around Natalia’s pussy.
“Mngh…!”
It wasn't just that her sensitivity had increased; it seemed the meter had broken entirely. Natalia trembled throughout her whole body every time my hand touched her.
Hmm… at this rate, it should be fine to use the razor.
—Scrape, scrape, scrape…
“Ugh… nngh…! Haaah…!”
“Hmm~ this is actually quite fun.”
“Aang…!”
I spent a good while meticulously shaving away Natalia’s lush pubic hair.
To be honest, Natalia’s was particularly thick and dense, so it felt rewarding to shave.
Finally, the moment I wiped away all the foam and stray hairs…
“Oh… this is really slutty.”
“Ahn, Master… I don’t know anymore…”
Natalia’s female pussy, with its deep-colored labia blooming like a flower and its protruding clitoris, was now fully visible.
My hand moved almost of its own accord.
“Wow… this smooth, soft texture…”
“Hah, khh…! Ahh…! Master, please put it in now… please…!”
“I want to, but… Mommy’s smooth pussy keeps asking me to touch it…”
“M-Mom…! Ngh-ahhh…! K-khhh…!”
It seemed the sense of immorality was beyond her imagination.
Hmm… I might be able to break Natalia’s record for consecutive climaxes today.
Just as I was thinking that and took Natalia’s large clitoris into my mouth—
—Knock, knock.
“Young Master, it is I. A guest has arrived to see you.”
“Ha… please tell me it’s not another messenger from the Emperor.”
“No, sir.”
“Then who is it?”
“She said that if I told you it was a woman who traveled a long way to be held by the man she loves, you would understand…”
“!!!”
I immediately helped Natalia back into her clothes and sat her on my lap.
“Master…?”
“Sorry, Natalia. I’ll make up for what we couldn't finish several times over later.”
“Mmm… yes, it’s a shame, but… who is it that has come?”
“Andrasta.”
“!!!”
“Haha, looks like your good intuition was right after all.”
“Yes! Ah, I’ve been wanting to spar with her so badly…!”
“Uh… well… I see… That’s… it’s fine to spar, but try not to destroy the mansion…”
“I… I’m not confident, but… I’ll try…”
At this rate, I might really have to prepare a territory, let alone a castle.
With that thought, I ran out of the mansion with Natalia.
*
“Grrr… purr, purr…”
“Fufufu, I was a bit surprised at first… but the more I look at him, the cuter he is.”
“Haha, right? He’s even cuter because he’s so big.”
As soon as I ran out to the garden with Natalia, a very strange sight greeted us.
Panthera, the Black Lion who was Andrasta’s pet and only companion.
That house-sized black male lion was lying obediently in front of Helena.
Helena was stroking Panthera’s mane and head…
‘That bastard… he glared at me like he was going to eat me alive…’
Well, to the current Helena or Andrasta, a wild beast was basically just a cute animal.
Since that wasn't my concern, I hurried toward Andrasta.
“Ah…! Leon…!”
In that moment, Andrasta looked at me and gave a smile as bright as sunshine.
Before we knew it… we were embracing each other, neither of us knowing who reached out first.
“You said you’d come quickly. Do you know how long I’ve been waiting?”
“I am sorry. The abdication took a bit longer than expected.”
“Pardon? I don’t think I heard you right?”
“Hmm? I said I passed the throne to another… does the Empire not use such terms?”
“No, no, it’s not that I didn't understand the word… wow…”
I wasn't the only one surprised; Helena and Natalia were the same.
I wondered why things had been so quiet since Ardri of Erin reappeared.
Moreover, I didn't see Irusan or Sreng, let alone the Fiona Warrior Band.
“Please… f-first, tell us the details.”
“Fufu, of course. Mmm… it seems I will need some time to fix this way of speaking.”
“For the record, I really like the King’s way of speaking too.”
“Hahaha, I see. Then I shall show you leniency.”
*
“In truth, abdication was something I had been considering for a long time.”
With those opening words, Andrasta began a somewhat long story.
“Some of you may know, but the first Ardri left a will stating that the strongest should inherit the throne. Because of that, the royalty of Erin had to participate in the throne succession war, whether they liked it or not.”
According to Andrasta, the throne succession war in Erin was essentially a civil war.
Usually, 'the strongest' meant the one who survived until the end.
The struggle for the title of Ardri continued endlessly until only one person with the right to the throne remained.
It was only natural that massive sacrifices occurred in the process.
“The people of Erin consider it a proud tradition… but I thought differently. I wondered if there could be any greater foolishness in the world. I still feel the same way now.”
Well… to be honest, I felt the same.
The harm it caused was so great it was hard to explain it all.
“So that’s why you abdicated?”
“Yes. Well… in truth, I am far too young and far too strong a King to abdicate. But that is precisely why I was able to make up my mind.”
“Why?”
“…My existence, in itself, invites war.”
“Mmm…”
Andrasta added that in Erin, she was called the incarnation of the first Ardri, Iskandar.
In other words, to the warriors of Erin, it was as if a great King and Military God had been resurrected.
“In that era, there was no room to look outward because of the effort to unify the beastkin who had split into three factions…”
“Right. But now unification has been achieved, and 200 years have passed, so the system is stable. Naturally, eyes will start turning outward.”
I didn't have to look far; the history of my past life made it obvious.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who unified Japan and rose to the positions of Taiko and Chancellor, started the Imjin War under the bullshit excuse of 'conquering the Ming.'
And there were countless other similar examples.
Recalling those memories, I asked Andrasta cautiously.
“You could have become a Conqueror King for the sake of Erin. Perhaps that is also a King’s duty.”
“Yes, I suppose I could have. But… I did not want to. Fufu, I used to hear people say I was born to be a King… but thinking about it now, I was the one person who should never have been King.”
Despite saying that, Andrasta’s face looked more than just relieved; she looked happy.
Then that’s all that matters.
It’s not like she irresponsibly abandoned her country; she said she properly abdicated.
As I cleared up my complicated thoughts, Andrasta gave a playful smile.
“Besides, I had another certainty.”
“What was it?”
“The certainty that even if I started a war, I could never win.”
“Eh? Why?”
“What do you mean 'why'? You are here in the Empire. Furthermore, the descendants of the true Sword Saint are here as well. No matter how much of an Overlord one is, one cannot face both the Lion King and the Sword Saint at the same time.”
“Hahaha.”
Not just me, but Helena and Natalia also let out awkward chuckles.
Well… I mean… that’s true…
Since the atmosphere had lightened up, my voice became much more casual.
“By the way, did the abdication go smoothly?”
“There was opposition, of course. Fortunately, there is not yet a warrior in Erin who can defeat me.”
“Aha, so you just beat up everyone who talked back.”
“Hahaha, yes. Well… actually, there was less opposition than I expected. Goodness, do they all want to be King that badly?”
“People always think other people’s jobs look easy. So? What happened next?”
Andrasta continued her story as lightly as the breeze blowing through the garden.
How she passed the throne to a virtuous and wise Milesian, a herbivore-type beastkin she had been keeping an eye on.
How she abolished the throne succession war by royal decree before that.
As I listened to the general story, these words slipped out of my mouth.
“I’m surprised you managed to push all that through. I feel like there might be a backlash later.”
“Likely so. That is why I am not a common citizen of Erin now, but the Retired King.”
“Oh my, I didn't recognize Her Majesty the Retired King…”
“Hahaha. Anyway… to use your expression, if anyone talks back, I just have to beat them up again. Two hundred years of foolishness is enough. It is time for Erin to move to the next stage. Right, Panthera?”
“Grrr…”
Panthera rubbed his head against Andrasta, letting out a pleasant purr.
So… maybe I can…? I thought, reaching out my hand…
“Grrrr…”
“This bastard…”
“Hahaha, forgive him. As I told you before, Panthera dislikes everyone except me.”
“He seemed to be acting all cute for Helena, though.”
This horny male lion suddenly went over to Natalia and started rubbing his head against her leg.
As if begging to be petted.
“Oh my~ how cute.”
“Grrr…”
…It seems he doesn't just like Andrasta; he just likes beautiful women.
“Right?”
“…Yeah. I didn't know either.”
By the way, that male lion… he’s going to eat a ton…
Filling up a harem is all well and good, but I feel like the maintenance costs are steadily rising…
While I was having that brief thought.
“…”
“…”
Before I knew it, Andrasta and Natalia were staring at each other in silence.
No, they were glaring.
With smiles plastered on their faces that said, 'I’ve been waiting for this!'
—Shring…
Furthermore, I don't know when she got it, but Natalia drew the National Sword at her waist…
—Clack…
The sound of a gauntlet being equipped came from Andrasta’s fist.
“Wait!”
“Master?!”
“Hmm? What, what is it?”
“Go do it outside. I feel like my mansion won’t survive if I leave you two alone.”
“Ugh… mmm… A-alright. I shall do so. Tsk… I was looking forward to it…”
“Yes, Master. Haah… I have to wait again…”
I’ll have to send them not just outside the house, but completely outside the Imperial Capital.
Until then, I have to keep these living storms quietly suppressed.
“But…”
Why is Andrasta linking her arm with my left one?
And why is Natalia grabbing my right arm?
“And… Teacher, why are you holding my leg?”
“What do you mean? You have to come with us, Young Master.”
“Haah…”
“Fufu, you may resist if you wish.”
“I think you’re actually hoping for that instead.”
“Of course.”
Tsk… honestly, I wanted to spend some hot, intimate time with Andrasta right away…
But it can’t be helped. I’m the type of person who always saves the most delicious thing for last…
