Roan stirred and sat up groggily.
The cold dawn.
Grünent, whose body had grown heated from their passionate sex, lay unconscious on the bed without even a proper blanket covering her.
Roan stared down at her for a long moment.
With a look of pity.
It was no easy task for a human body to receive the Emperor's stamina alone.
The attendants who had followed from Basel to wait upon the Emperor had left warm water and towels outside the door.
After cleaning Grünent's body, he pulled the blanket over her bare form and swept back her disheveled hair.
"Rest well."
He placed a light kiss on her cheek,
and Roan quietly cast 'Blessing of the Stars' on himself and Grünent.
The act of honing his control over holy power was gradually becoming a habit for Roan.
He muffled his footsteps as he left the bedroom.
"Master. You are awake."
Before he knew it, Helen was waiting outside the bedroom door. Her face was slightly flushed.
Wearing a robe, Roan headed to the room adjacent to the bedroom, which he was currently using as an office and study.
Resting on the office desk was a single lump of crystal brought from the cave.
Not knowing how much influence a given size would exert,
he had brought only the small pebble-sized sample he had also shown the Lord of the West Blood Territory.
"It has not been long since you returned from your ordeals. I wish you would rest properly."
Helen looked at Roan with a worried expression. But Roan's languid face merely stared back at her indifferently.
"You overstep. Helen."
"...I apologize. Master."
Roan flopped down onto the office sofa and fiddled with the small pebble.
Meanwhile, Helen knelt at Roan's feet.
"I will clean you."
"Mm."
The arousal that had subsided while wiping Grünent's body began to swell rapidly once more the moment Helen's lips made contact.
As he received Helen's morning service, Roan organized his thoughts with the crystal in his hand.
Helen's fellatio was gentle. To avoid disturbing Roan's thoughts as much as possible, she minimized stimulation and was licking every part of Roan's penis.
Without sucking or taking it into her mouth,
Helen licked like a dog from the base of the shaft all the way to the tip of the glans, and her cheeks flushed deeper.
"First, I think I need to figure out how to stop this from draining mana."
"Ye...es."
Helen, who had been licking the juncture between his testicles and shaft, glanced at the object in Roan's hand and nodded.
Even though the soldiers had warned him to be careful because mana was drained near the crystal cave, Helen, who possessed holy power, was unaffected.
This was because the crystal did not react to Helen's holy power unlike mana. Surely my power will aid my master's plans.
Helen's heart swelled at the thought of being of assistance to him.
In contrast, Rauka, who possessed richer mana than anyone, had been found nearly exhausted. It was a dangerous object to those with mana.
That was exactly what Roan was pondering.
Because he was a merciful and kind emperor.
As Helen calmly licked Roan's member, she found herself unconsciously swaying her hips side to side.
Just like wagging a tail.
Seeing this, Roan's eyes crinkled into a smile.
"It will be hard to play with you today, Helen."
"Ah, ah, I know. Master."
"But I shall appreciate the view. Take off your clothes."
Helen's face lit up.
"Yes!"
Her hands moved busily, beginning to undo the buttons of her clothes.
Underneath the simple informal knight's uniform, she was naked.
What she wore inside the uniform was
the dog collar that Roan had personally placed on her, and
a tail.
Connected to the plug inserted in her anus and fashioned from fur,
it was a bitch's tail.
Unable to contain her excitement, she was already dripping lubricant steadily from her parted slit.
Roan smiled.
"I believe I chose the color well. It suits you."
"Thank... you. Mas...ter."
The white tail blended with her light blue body hair without any sense of incongruity.
Despite the provocative scene, Roan turned his eyes away from Helen's body again and looked down at the crystal as he spoke.
"Given that it doesn't absorb or interfere with holy power, what if we sealed it using holy power?"
"A seal... you mean...? Slurp.... ...Not the stone itself... but if we fix divine magic to a container... Mmm...."
Helen was too busy licking Roan's member to piece her words together properly.
Roan smirked, grabbed a handful of her hair, and stopped her movements.
"Speak properly."
With Roan's pubic hair sticking to her saliva-slicked lips, Helen's eyes sparkled as she spoke.
"By using a method that anchors divine magic into a storage tool, it would be possible to block that crystal's power only when necessary, Master. Provided the crystal shows no significant rejection of holy power, that is."
"Hmm. And do you know the method?"
"There is a separate medium that accepts divine magic well. If there is a wizard in Zeno, it can be procured. Master."
"My bitch is competent."
A smile rose to Helen's face.
"Thank you, Master."
Her hips swayed left and right once more.
The white fur tail lightly attached to the end of her anus swayed along with the motion.
Between her two feet,
the soft sound of bodily fluid dripping in droplets could be heard.
"By this opportunity, how would you feel about learning the current divine magic as well, Master?"
"Hm."
Unless it concerned the intimate games between Roan and Helen, Roan was an emperor open to hearing suggestions.
Even though the naked female knight stood there with a tail plugged in her rear, her hair gripped by the Demon King, dripping with pussy juice.
The words she offered were an utterly normal suggestion.
Because the gap was so wide, it was a scene that only stimulated Roan's lewd desires further.
His enlarged member twitched.
Helen's gaze flicked toward it.
"I wanted to ask you about that regardless. As seen yesterday, there may arise problems that my power or magic alone cannot solve. But didn't you say my power is different in nature from your holy power?"
"I believe there would be no problem. I do."
"Is that so? Why?"
With one hand still clutching Helen's hair and the other toying with the crystal,
Roan waited for her explanation.
"You have been practicing ancient divine magic together with me until now. First, judging by the results of your training, you seem to have a talent for divine magic, Master."
"Hmm."
Her eyes drifted toward Roan's lower body before his voice brought her gaze back to meet his.
The desire that had filled her eyes disappeared as if a lie the moment she faced Roan.
Her crisp expression and voice were those of a knight. Aside from her state of dress, there was no trace of the bitch to be found anywhere.
"And it seems as though the ancient power, even if the flow differs slightly, is similar to the holy power I use. Did the crystal that reacted to your power not also emit light in response to my blessing?"
Roan nodded.
It had been a simple test conducted inside the carriage.
Though not as much as when it received Roan's 'Starlight',
the crystal had emitted a faint light of its own in response to Helen's 'Light' and 'Blessing' as well.
"The principles by which you use magic, Master, have been lost to practice, but the current divine magic has been systematized from its basic educational method. If you could use it, it would be useful."
Helen's words were correct.
Buffs used in battle, healing, creating food, detoxification, and even sealing mana.
A priest in this world performed countless tasks.
Even just regarding sealing the crystal, if he didn't need to borrow Helen's power, he could go alone to harvest and seal it, then bring it from the waypoint to Basel. Then, even if the quantity was a bit large, he wouldn't have to worry about people nearby or wizards.
However, Helen looked at Roan with a worried expression.
"But even now, you are dividing up your time to use it, Master. Asking you to devote more of your time seems rather sinful, and yet...."
Roan's languid eyes narrowed and became sharp.
Then, Helen's long hair slipped down. Roan had released the grip he had on her hair.
His now empty hand stroked Helen's head.
"What commendable words you speak."
"...Master."
"It is only natural for an emperor to be busy. If one enjoys much, one must also prepare much. Even so, once agriculture takes root in Evirgio, will things not improve?"
Then, he could maybe relax... probably not, but at least he'd only have to deal with the Hero.
Helen's eyes shone with emotion.
"Thank you for listening."
"Continue to teach me well."
"Do not worry. Master."
Once Roan's permission was given again, Helen latched onto Roan's penis as if she had been waiting and began licking him to completion.
"Once the cleaning is finished, I will teach you how to seal that ore you are holding first."
"We'll have to conduct several other experiments."
"Must we?"
Leaving his lower half entrusted to Helen, Roan leaned back loosely against the sofa and nodded.
"I am neither a researcher nor a wizard. There will be a clever person who can find an efficient method. I plan to call a Small Council with the archdukes soon to discuss it."
And Roan stared down at Helen as she finished cleaning by licking the tip of his penis, the glans and the urethral opening.
"You will cooperate with the experimenters and ensure these crystals can be put to direct use as quickly as possible."
Helen paused her movements briefly and looked up at Roan.
But the hesitation was very brief.
"Understood. Master."
A smile rose to Helen's face.
"If my Master wishes it... I shall do anything."
Having finished the morning cleaning, Helen rubbed her cheek against Roan's slickened member.
As if it were the most precious and beloved thing in the world. Her long fingers cupped the scrotum below it to add a subtle stimulation.
Glancing at the quest clock for a moment, Roan gauged the morning's available leisure time.
"Today's Helen is especially praiseworthy in many ways. I shall give you a reward."
"...!"
The expression of Helen, who was kneeling naked between Roan's legs, brightened.
"Thank you, Master...!"
"Turn your body around."
"Yes!"
As if this were not her first time,
Helen turned around expertly and presented her rear toward Roan's member.
Roan grabbed her voluptuous hips and pulled her buttocks toward his lower body.
Roan's large phallus was sucked inside between her already thoroughly soaked legs without any resistance.
"Hnnnnng...!"
A nasal moan laced with pleasure spilled from the face of the proud female knight.
The piston motion that drove into her slit was rough from the very start.
"Hnngg, Mas...ter...!"
With her legs bent and hands placed on her knees, Helen was barely keeping her balance.
With Roan's violent thrusts slapping their flesh together, Helen's love juices splattered in all directions.
Without moving his own waist, Roan held Helen's hips and moved her as if skewering her onto his member.
Helen's expression melted away after a few insertions.
"Hnngg, Master's masturbation... tool..., this bitch, please use..., as you please...."
At Helen's words, Roan's member, which was moving in and out of her, swelled even more.
Helen's vaginal opening, which had been waiting for Roan while serving him, was constricting with all its might once he entered inside.
A fast-approaching sense of ejaculation.
It was morning.
There was no need to hold back.
This was meant to be a reward for her, after all.
Before even a few thrusts had occurred, Helen was already confessing her climax.
"Hnngg, Master, thank you for using... Helen's pussy... I think I'm going to come...."
"Isn't that too fast?"
A smile appeared on Roan's face.
"I-I'm so, sorry, Master...."
What struck her voluptuous rear instead of an answer was a sharp palm.
A fierce sound of flesh hitting flesh rang out.
"Hiiiiiiii...!!"
In that instant, Helen's eyes rolled up toward the ceiling. A smile spread across her lips.
The area below that housed Roan's member trembled madly as it climaxed. Clear fluid leaked out despite Roan's large member plugging the entrance.
Looking at the vivid red handprint etched on her pure white buttocks, Roan released his own building climax without restraint.
"Hnng, haah..., nnng...."
Helen shuddered.
As Roan's member, having emptied its semen, was pulled out, Helen's vaginal opening gaped. White semen mixed with love juices dripped onto the floor with a splat.
"Th... thank you...."
Helen climaxed, tasting insertion for the first time in a long while. The flesh of her rear hole, plugged with the tail, was also twitching and trembling.
"Well then, I suppose the cleaning must be done again?"
"Y-yes...."
With the afterglow of her climax still lingering, Helen buried her face between Roan's legs once more.
'There's so little time.'
Even though it was an extremely vigorous start to the day, Roan felt a sense of impatience.
Spring was not far off.
