Chapter 20 – The Queen Stands
‘Oh god, Hope! Where are you?!’ Solene’s mind cried out as she undid the last remaining buttons, unclasped her brassiere and displayed her breasts as he commanded.
Caym leaned down to capture one full breast. He slowly massaged it and pressed her nipple with his thumb.
Solene let out a strangled moan. She abhorred his hands on her. She cursed how his fingers explored every inch of her breasts. She hated the way she was underneath him. This should have been her husband. This should have been Henri exploring intimacy with her.
Painstakingly, she prohibited her tears from pooling in her eyes. She refused to look vulnerable and unstable in front of this demon. She refused to be weak in front of him.
Caym stuck out his tongue and encircled her nipple. Solene felt grossed out with the way it wetted her skin. It didn’t evoke the same feeling of wonder when Henri did this to her.<
Chapter 21 – The Queen WaitsWith Mistress Nakti and the servants out of her room, Hope used this time to her advantage. She changed into the gown she picked to sell her ruse—a combination of gold and silver see-through fabric that had a long slit on the left part and a provocative dip on the neckline. She placed jewelry around her neck and ears too to complete the effect—ruby red diamonds and black opal that accented her red lipstick and shiny, long black hair. She was the picture of a seductive harem woman then, and she was satisfied with this.Elevated sandals crossed the doorway as she quickly strode out. Her plan was to check Solene in all rooms of the tower, with the idea that maybe she was placed secretly in one without the mistress’ knowledge, or maybe the old woman was lying in the very beginning and just chose to withhold information from her.Whatever the cause may be, Hope was dead set to find Solene, anyway.
Chapter 22 – The Queen Still WaitsHope left the tower with the satyr count constantly squeezing her ass. It was a long corridor going to the main entrance, so it was for her an ordeal—a great ordeal not to pummel this creature into smashed potatoes.Never had she been groped like this before, but of course, that was when she was still a man, and a high position one at that. She had always been respectful of women in her kingdom and in the Rantzen Family, but in Solene’s case, she admitted, she had been a lusty one and might have groped her wife’s lovely ass too from time to time during their honeymoon. However, this idiot goat was doing it too much on her and so she definitely looked forward to putting him in his rightful place—underneath her sandals, bloody and soulless.She inwardly took deep breaths and showed a fake sensual smile towards him until they reached their transport—a carriage-looking vehicle th
Chapter 23 – The Queen Waits and WaitsFreedom from the count’s lecherous intent was momentary, for the instant Hope crossed the boundary of his estate to the bustling streets of Caym’s city, new demons and souls started to flock her.They maintained a safe distance, yes, but she could feel their dark eyes on her as she advanced into the tower. The harem tower, however, was a good kilometer of walk away, so once again, she had to endure all the unwelcomed attention.As the master grim reaper, she had experienced being fawned at by souls, but not like this. Not like this, where all these souls wanted a taste of her fake pussy.“Where are you going, sweety pie?”“Are you part of Master Caym’s harem?”“Are you interested in a threesome? Maybe foursome?”“I want to fuck your ass.”“Let me insert my cock in your mouth.”
Chapter 24 – The Queen Prepares for BattleStepping out of the transport was a choice Hope could do, but instead, she contemplated on the witch’s words and an idea formed in her head.“Then let me test you now,” she asked while taking the bracelet from her lap. “Caym’s chamber, where is it? If I’m going to search his excessively decorated castle, I might as well search first in his bedroom for my friend.”Clarita smiled, seeing hope in her question.“Unfortunately, no one has ever been to Caym’s chamber, Your Majesty. No one needs to when he visits the harem tower himself,” she answered, and Hope made a disappointed face.“However,” Clarita continued and stretched a proud grin across her face. “I am not just his concubine, I am his soothsayer, so luckily I have been there. Well, in one of his chambers in the second tower at least.”
Chapter 25 – The Queen Grim ReaperMuch to Solene’s pleasure, the armor wasn’t heavy. She was covered in it from her torso down to her feet, yet she felt as though she was only wearing denim. It fitted well with her size and it was, as an incentive, comfortable to wear—or at least it felt like it because of the padded bodysuit she wore.Platinum was the main element used in the armor, but another material the color of gold was added to the breastplate and boots. It swirled and looped to add design on the jagged surface. It made the armor grander than what it already was.It wasn’t designed for a woman, Solene thought for certain, but she chose this armor because it reminded her of the shade of her hair. It reminded her also that she could be her own knight-in-shining armor in this tournament to the death.To complete her ensemble, Solene chose a platinum helmet that fully covered her face. Three holes i
Chapter 26 –The Queen and Her ScytheStanding inside the battleground now made Solene feel more like an ant. The arena was even larger at this angle. Even more imposing. Even more suffocating. She could feel the heat of the many eyes on her: some curious of what she looked like, some with lust simply because she was a woman, and some with the intent to torture her.Solene controlled her knees and hands from shaking and walked forward onto a circular platform on her front. There was no going back now. Fighting her opponents was the only answer to her problem.“Our Lady Grim Reaper is ready!” She heard Caym shout behind her. “Let’s start the tournament then!”With that, the audience roared again.Drum beats sounded in a rhythm that suggested doom; slow and steady at first until it gained force. It didn’t match Solene’s heartbeat though for hers was like a jackhammer trying to open
Chapter 27 – The Queen’s Answer‘I’d rather not!’was what Solene would have said if she had her voice, but Caym—now more cautious—didn’t beguile her to speak, so instead, her answer to his invitation was a flat look on her face.Caym’s brow twitched. With her helmet on, he couldn’t see the silent answer, but he understood exactly just what it was. In reply, he stepped closer to whisper in her ear. “You will not reject me in front of my people, Solene.”‘My people?’Her thoughts parroted. It was a laughable claim when he wasn’t the King of Sattus in the first place. He was only a lord in this land and nothing more.‘Do I look like I care?!’she answered in her head and without hesitation, swung the scythe toward his neck again, but just like last time, she missed. Caym was able to dodge it,
Chapter 28 – The Queen HiddenThey all looked like red ants walking towards an anthill ready to serve their queen’s whims. Hope cursed at herself and this situation. Why did she pose as a concubine in the first place? Why didn’t she volunteer as a servant instead? Both had pros and cons, but at least servants get to run around the castle more freely than a concubine.Like the other towers, the eighth was connected to the main castle through an open bridge, but it could be accessed too on the ground. Hope could see the seventh tower from where they passed—in a tiled pathway with no plants at all—and she could only stare at it with anticipation. Soon, she would be able to go there...very soon and all of these acting and being a woman would end.To add to the effect, as per Mistress Nakti’s words, all concubines had to wear a mask. It only covered their eyes and nose, but their lips were open for kissing and for.
Chapter 53 – EpilogueLike her first wedding, Solene strode into the aisle with numerous people watching. However, on this occasion, they were all souls. The majority of them were grounded, sitting on the pews, but there were others too levitating in the air. They were all dressed in white, beige, gray, and red uniforms, signifying their designations in Sattus. However, Solene saw them not as souls without a shell, but real people with real lives, living in this realm she had come to love.As she inched closer and closer to the altar, Solene stared ahead in wonder. During their three-day stay in the Fair Silver Estate, Henri mentioned something about a surprise. This surprise was the newly built garden in Castle Vatlavus, created only for her, or as he stated—technically a renovated garden since the first one was destroyed during Caym’s attack.Immediately, Solene saw this as the perfect place to hold her second wed
Chapter 52 – The Queen’s Support Indeed, the crack in Gehenna’s barrier was large, so large that it allowed many monsters and armies of demons out. Solene expected this from Henri, though. He was a powerful man, after all. There was no denying he could destroy this section of Sattus if he really wanted to, angry or not. Partly, she felt guilty that this happened, but what else was new? She had always been the reason for the misfortunes of many people who became collateral damage or the unsuspected victim. Case in point, Cassandra, Mrs. Ingrid, Tessa, Lady Ursula, the people at the coffee shop and at the supermarket, and AC, her innocent little brother. But to feel depressive about it wasn’t the solution now. She already rose and conquered this heavy burden in her heart, and she was so ready to end this once and for all. As she neared her destination, she spotted one soul near it, trying to fix the crack with his powers. When he moved
Chapter 51 – The King of SattusWhen Henri returned to Sattus, it only took seconds for him to know where Caym was—inside the castle, in Solene's room, where she hadn't even seen yet. He was trying to conceal his presence, but to no avail. It was pathetic. It was laughable. Nothing could escape Henri's notice, especially when inside the castle.But Kelios said he was in Tartarus, supervising his army. It totally contradicted the facts, so this meant Caym was using his power of manipulation. He was certainly manipulating someone into posing as him, or he had someone transform into his likeness, or he transformed this volunteer into his clone.Whichever was the case, Henri knew this was all a trap—a trap he was more than happy to play. He instructed Kelios to pose as him too and with Jacob's help, mid-teleporting into Tartarus, Kelios changed into Henri's face and build. Even the King's great scythe was cloned all jus
Chapter 50 – The Queen’s SurpriseA series of lightning crack above the castle spires and the formation of a storm cell in the sky heralded the return of the King of Sattus. Henri materialized on top of the tallest tower with his boot hitting the pointed roof.With brows twisted, he surveyed his castle below. It was still untouched, good, but half of its surroundings were already in bad shape. There were no villages or souls on it, but the trees and the landscaped garden he created for Solene to welcome her stay in Sattus was all in ruins. There were rubbles everywhere from the pillars he erected in the garden, and most of the bushes and flowering plants were on fire. This angered him so."Your Majesty." Kelios appeared behind him and stated.Henri remained his gaze on the garden, hands clenched, and said, "Kelios, speak.""We have driven back Caym's army in Nirvana, Krusk, Bettina and Argelu, Your Majesty.
Chapter 49 – The Queen’s Choice"You leave my brother's body, now!" Solene shouted just as a neon blue circle appeared underneath her. It quickly expanded and reached the fountain where AC stood.Amon jumped up, and as a result, levitated the boy’s body before the light could touch him. “I think I’ll stay,” he flashed his fangs at her; his fangs that glinted with the blue glow. “I’m rather enjoying this vessel, woman. You, however, should be worried. At this moment, your husband is under Caym’s mercy, bloody and groveling for his life.”This briefly shook Solene. She trusted Henri’s capabilities as king. He was a powerful man. Caym could never rival him, but then again...what if...what if this demon was telling the truth? What if Henri was indeed on the brink of death and she wasn’t there to save him?Should she go to him then? But AC... the boy needed h
Chapter 48 – The Queen’s Demon'No...no... This can't happen!'Solene's thoughts proclaimed as cold dread washed over her. This was the demon that killed her. This was the demon that had been causing her fear and suffering since she was a child. This was the mastermind of her father's killing, and now, he has possessed her adoptive brother.Her sweet, innocent brother.Memories of that day when he killed her flooded inside her mind. It brought her stiff for a moment. Heaven knows how she just wanted to curl up into a ball in the corner of her room and protect herself from the traumatic experience, but no... No! She wasn't a prey anymore. She changed even better than before. She refused for him to win again, and most importantly, she refused to let her brother get harmed.Withdrawing from her mother's embrace, Solene flashed a fake smile and acted as if nothing was happening. She didn't want her mother
Chapter 47 – The Queen’s Warning BellsThe first thing Solene noticed when she regained consciousness was someone's breathing. The calm rise and fall of this person's chest was so comfortable she didn't want to interrupt it, but she had to. She was already awake and her body begged to move.Shifting her head up, she was greeted with this person's smile then."Henri..." she muttered and smiled back. She found herself sitting on his lap and cradled securely by his arms. They were still inside the maze's plaza, roofed with bright stars and shined by the light of the moon."Happy birthday, love. How are you feeling?" he asked and would have wanted to touch her cheek if not for Solene's sudden movement.She jerked back and shouted, "Oh, god, did I just mess up my birthday? The blessing?!"Henri found this comical, but kept his laugh inside. He shook his head in haste then and answered, "No, not at all, lov
Chapter 46 – The Queen CelebratedAs what Lady Ursula said, the Rantzen Family celebrates birthdays differently. When Solene entered the garden maze’s center plaza, she understood what the old woman meant. Not only was it held inside a maze, it was set up in a way that all the guests would circle the theta-shaped fountain. A circular symbol was drawn around it, which Solene hadn’t noticed the last time she visited this area of the estate. She couldn’t help but arch a brow. She wasn’t told how the party would flow. She was only informed by Henri to ‘prepare’ and nothing more. And by ‘prepare’ he meant to choose a dress out of the three he bought for her.Black and red. These colors were always what she favored, so when she spotted one that had these shades spread neatly on her mattress, she chose it. Patricia, her personal maid, helped her don it. As always, the gown had a slit design, re
Chapter 45 – Earning the Queen’s BlessingSolene’s clit engorged further as Hein continued sucking it. Then he parted her folds even more, licked it upward until he arrived at his final destination. Without preamble, he entered her with his tongue. He stretched it further inside, pulled it back and stretched it again, all the while Solene mewled with heavy breaths.“Hein... Hein!” she cried out as she climaxed minutes later.Her high didn’t stop there as suddenly, she felt both cocks inside her: Henri in her swollen pussy while Hein inside her ass.“Our insatiable queen,” Hein grunted.“Hein...” Solene breathed out.“Let’s give her something to shout, shall we?” Henri offered while flashing a grin.“Henri...” Solene pressed her forehead against his cheek.“Yes, my thoughts exactly,” Hein answered.
