Chapter 28: SILENT STEPS

last update Last Updated: 2024-10-29 19:42:56

In one of the innermost rooms of the church, a ritual was happening.

Despite being completely devoid of any decoration, the room seemed to be covered in a holy atmosphere.

In the middle of the room, standing over a large concentric circle in the form of a pentagram, Camelia could be seen with her two arms stretched and bleeding from the slit made on her wrists.

She kept mumbling about a blessing from her "mother" as she bathed the circle, that was drawn in a special chalk, with her own blood.

This blood, even though it was seemingly coming from a human, had a slightly golden hue.

Her expression was as pale as a sheet and her breath was getting weaker. Still, she did not stop.

Next to her, a young blonde-haired girl wearing a blue knight armor had a worried expression as she opened and closed her mouth again and again but still didn't voice her worry.

She knew that any words getting from her could disturb the entire ritual and since Camelia had been bleeding herself out to the limit of

    Sol frowned a little at the fact that she could slip past all his senses.'Perhaps it's because I am still not used to it?'It wasn't impossible. He just obtained mana recently and he certainly didn't get the total control of it.Still, he didn't wish to create excuses for her."Sol, you awakened?!" Milia immediately closed the door behind her as she exclaimed in surprise."Indeed." He answered calmly with a smile. Now that it was discovered there was no reason to hide it. "I just awakened it this morning, during a discussion with teacher.""Incredible!" Milia walked fast towards him and took him in a hug as she giggled in happiness.Seeing her like that made the suspicion of Sol abate a little. He smiled and he also hugged her in turn."Thanks. It also made me really happy.""Should I reward you?" Milia asked with a sensual smile as she slowly trailed her finger over his trousers.Sol didn't need to be told explicitly what kind of reward she was talking about. He debated a little and

    Sol slowly opened his eyes as he once again appeared in the special teleportation room belonging to the church.This time, it was a private meeting between him and Camelia so he had no reason to wear particularly special clothes. Though he did make the effort of dressing nicely by wearing a simple black and white cloak over his white suit.'I did not feel sick this time.'A wide smile plastered his face. He had always hated this form of transportation because of the resulting sickness. Now it seemed that he did not have to worry anymore."Welcome, your highness."Other than him, ten others were present in the room. Though the hair color of one of them, in particular, caught his attention.'Blonde hair and blue eyes? And–an armor?'Those two colors were the sign of someone blessed. Genetic had absolutely nothing to do with it. Children wouldn't inherit this particular set of colors. The only way to obtain it is to be blessed or recognized by one of the goddesses. As for the armor, it d

    It didn't take long for Sol to reach the innermost room of the church.Even though he came regularly in the church, it was the first time he came to this zone. Along the way, they had met many patrols and inspections, showing just how important this place was.commentSol marveled at the scene carved on the black and white gate. A woman with fourteen girls behind her, all of them wearing golden robes on the white side of the gate, facing them was another woman wearing a bright red robe on the black side of the gate. Every one of them had no face, giving the scene a strange, creepy atmosphere."Mother order and the fourteen goddesses against Chaos."Chloe's voice brought him back from his fascination. It wasn’t the first time he saw such pictures and he also knew what they represented. But he wasn't particularly interested in talking about religion right now.What bothered him right now was the enormous amount of mana he could feel from the other side. He nearly asked Chloe about it be

    A seemingly soft voice sounded in the air. But for Sol, it was like being blasted by the biggest stereo in the world.He took two unsteady steps before immediately taking Camelia in his hands. She seemed to have fainted. He didn't know why. Even with most of her power gone, she should have been way stronger than him.{How c-"How cute. It's really heartwarming that your first action was taking care of my rebellious daughter."The voice, that previously sounded as if the sky was falling on him sounded suddenly far less dangerous.Gathering his wit, he began to observe his surroundings, only to be awed by the sights.He didn't know where they were, but they were definitely not in the church anymore.A landscape that seemed to reach the horizon. A black sky full of stars. A soft breeze.'It's like Teacher’s world.'"Please, do not compare my divine kingdom to a simple alternate dimension."This voice was different from the previous one. If the previous one was kind and soft, the new one w

    Those words of her cooled down Sol who was still kneeling in front of the goddess.The clear mirth in her voice, as if everything that was happening was just a game in her eyes, gave birth to an unprecedented feeling of anger.He had never felt so angry in his life. He wanted to simply rush and tear her face down. Beat her. Destroy her. Make her pay for her mockery.'I am once again losing control over my emotions.'Sol desperately calmed down the sudden burning Wrath that was birthed in his heart.Right here, right now, lashing out and screaming was useless and simply a waste of time."Never let your emotions control you. Whatever situation you are in, always analyze it from all angles before making a decision."'I need to calm down and think. I will have all the time to rage and whine later.'His head cooled down a little and he began to think as fast as possible.Simply begging was useless and understandably so.Why would she listen to his begging?It was like a flash of inspiratio

    The silence that fell was long and painful.He wondered when the hammer would fall."I see." Luxuria murmured before looking at all the goddesses who stayed silent on their thrones. "Sisters, what do you think?"He couldn't hear them, but he could see Luxuria nod or shake her head from time to time.Finally, after a torturing amount of time.A gentle voice sounded in the air.Sol tilted his head, in confusion.Luxuria's smile stretched before she put back her attention to Sol."Sol Luxuria, my dear child, in our infinite love and compassion," *Snicker*"Ira, I heard that.*Ahem*So as I was saying, in our infinite love and compassion, we have decided a way for you to pay for Camelia mistakes.Sol put everything else aside and focused his attention on what she was saying."Three tasks. For each wish she made, you will have to carry one task of our choice. The time limit and clearing conditions will be decided by us. In exchange, Camelia will pay close to no price."Sol closed his eyes and

    Sol ignored Camelia's protest as he roughly turned her around so that her buttock was high in the air. It was a posture where her upper body lay on top of the bed whilst her ass stuck out towards him.Her snowy, curvaceous, delicious panties covered buttocks subconsciously made Sol caress them. He had to admit once again that she was truly a work of art.The underwear Camelia was currently wearing was of a beautiful and stainless white. It boosted the charm of her already pale complexions.Even though she was wearing panties, it was clear to see that her sacred place was moist to the point that there was no need for foreplay but enjoying the main dish directly would be too impatient.Thinking such, he extended his middle finger and covered it with mana before slowly and carefully, cutting the flimsy fabric. The hole he made, revealed her glistening but still closed pussy and her rose bud.Camelia let out a startled cry the moment she felt a gust of wind on what should have been protec

    After releasing his seed, and calming himself, Sol decided to finally go to the final stages. He could spank her all he wanted later.Feeling the emotions from Sol, Camelia couldn't help but shiver a little in excitement.She also put the mention of those spankings for later.Saying so, he rose from the sofa and took Camelia’s body in a princess carry. As he did so, he also stopped manipulating his mana, and the mana collar around her neck vanished.Sol didn't mind SM play. He also quite enjoyed them, to be honest. But, he didn't want their first time together to be a play. He wished for it to be a sweet moment between the two of them.Camelia understood his wish and shared his sentiments. After all, she was still a maiden at heart. She also had many expectations for her first time with the man she loved.Once they reached the bed, Sol carefully put her on it before slowly taking off his clothes.This time it was the turn of Camelia to gulp as she watched his body.

    The gentle calming music of a harp echoed soothingly in the large dining space. In the middle of the pristine white room people, guests of today's event, sat on either side of the relatively large table. The Supreme Daughter being the only one sitting at the helm of the white wooden dining table.The stirring notes of gently plucked strings, resounding like the angelic hymns of heaven, were also the sole source of noise in the eerily quiet room. Even though the group currently dining was quite sizable, they ate in perfect and utter silence.At the head of the table sat Camelia, resting on her comfortable seat, on her right sat Sol, and on her left the Duchess Milaris eating away with elegance, the scowl never leaving her otherwise glorious face.The rectangular table was clearly divided into two camps, two sides at a silent war of stares, with Sol's side of the camp being quite empty. Still, this did not seem to bother him in the slightest.The table was filled with delicious but ligh

    He echoed out loud in absolute bewilderment.From the situation, he could somewhat guess what she meant but he wanted to hear her explain it, without that there was no way he'd be able to believe the presumptions his mind reached on its own.A sad smile, full of melancholy and pain, formed on Lilith’s face; saddening further seeing his incredulous look."Do not underestimate the means of a woman. Do you know this saying? Beauties are the bane of heroes.”Lilith didn’t dare to enter into details, just thinking about this wretched memory made her heart hurt, and made it hard for her to breathe."I do not wish for you to meet such a stupid end like your father. Your father was very poor at handling women. How to say this… He was too dense? Too easily flustered by women? I never understood why despite all his power he became a total mess when facing a person of the opposite gender."She sighed sadly, remembering about Mars and his foolish antiques when it came to women, she continued her

    Hearing his sudden question, Lilith, who was about to eat her meal, narrowed her eyes to slits; myriad emotions filtered through them before she elegantly put down her fork and knife, resting her gaze at a serious Sol, more serious than she had ever seen him before.She knew for a fact that this question would be coming her way sooner or later and in fact, was surprised it took so long.Silence settled between the two as Lilith searched for the right words to answer Sol, to explain what he desired to learn. She wished for nothing more than for him to understand her woes and the grounds behind her actions.Before getting pregnant with her daughter, Lilith had never been interested in motherhood and she believed that she was far from the perfect example of what a mother should and could be.Her life was a battlefield and she was a warrior, motherhood never came close to the nature of slaughter and destruction she cultivated throughout her life.Thus, the inevitable happened when her chi

    Having cummed thrice from Milia's passionate and meticulous attention, Sol had fallen asleep almost immediately. The day's tiredness, and the mental strain of the pleasure he received, coupled with the strain of the passion-filled exercise was just too much for him to do anything but immediately shuttle to the realm of sleep. However, for some unknown reason, as the light of the sun, filtering through the curtains, shined on his shut eyes and began to rouse him from his deep sleep, he felt a wet and warm sensation surrounding his lower body, specifically his hardened meat-slab. Slowly rubbing his heavy eyelids, still drooping with sleep, he looked at his crotch, and immediately, identified the source of the pleasurable feeling originating from his pleasure organ. “Good morning, your highness.” Milia looked up at him with a gentle and slightly lecherous smile, but for some reason, his underwear was pulled down to his knees and his morning wood was held firmly in her dainty hands, s

    In this world of fantasy and magic, Seven Kingdoms stood tall. Each of them, named after one of the seven sins, each of them representing one of the seven races inhabiting this world.Among them, there was the race of humans, and their kingdom was called Lustburg, named after the most hedonistic of all the sins, the sin of lust — representing the relentless passion and prolific desire the race representing it, humans, instinctually held.Presently, in a luxurious room situated at the very top of the royal palace of Lustburg known as the tower of Babel — a tall tower clad in the colors of white and gold, and stylized with archaic artistry — a young blonde-haired man could be seen sleeping soundly in a grandiose circular shaped bed, large enough to hold four or five people and still have enough room for them to sleep comfortably.“May I enter, your highness?”Whatever dreams the young man might’ve been experiencing were broken like shattered glass as his eyelashes faintly quivered, the

    What followed was a simple speech where Sol talked a little about himself and his wish to make the kingdom stronger and better. The usual rubbish.He now understood a little why politicians always lied during elections. The populace didn't care about the truth. The truth was heavy and full of bleakness.What they needed was someone who could make them dream. Someone who could promise them better days ahead. That was also why religion was always popular no matter what era.Well, this was just his opinion based on his experience.After the speech followed by the applaud, Sol's role was pretty much over. It was just noon and he had until the evening before having to go visit the Highland family. As such he decided to go to the quarters in the tower of babel with Lilin.After welcoming her, Sol immediately began discussing with Lilin about her adventures."For the first few weeks, I just stayed in the kingdom."From what she said, she didn't simply leave without any plan. She stayed in th

    Under a shed in the hanging garden, a beautiful red-haired woman reclined on a rocking chair, a large white blanket covering her as she observed a young man busy himself around.White snowflakes fell like petals of a flower from the sky but thanks to a special barrier none of it entered the garden but instead drifted aimlessly around it, giving this sight a mesmerizing feeling.Sighing, the red-haired woman asked, "Why don't you let me help you, you know that I just discovered my pregnancy two months ago right? I still have between twelve to forty months before giving birth."At the end of the day, even though she looked like a human and had reproductive organs compatible with humans, she wasn't one. She was a dragon. A mythical creature mainly made out of energy rather than flesh.For the fetus to mature completely, it had to absorb her energy until saturation. The longer this went on, the more talented the baby would be. The problem was that during this period, the mother would be s

    (AN: Those events happen few days before the tournament.)Sol was currently resting in the church after having fled from the training with Lilith. He didn't mind being trained harshly, but he also needed to relax from time to time.“To think Sol fell asleep so soundly, that crazy Lilith must really be tiring him.”“Indeed. However, his sleeping face sure is cute…"While Sol was still in the middle of his dreams, two women entered his room, enjoying the sight of his sleeping face.One was Milia, his maid and the other was unsurprisingly Camelia. They were now sitting next to Sol, watching him as he sleeps.“Nevertheless, for him to not even wake up with two people so close to him. Perhaps Lilith isn't training him enough?""This isn't the case. I assure you that his highness senses are incredibly sharp. It's just that he doesn't consider us as a threat and as such his sense didn't wake him up.""Fufufu~! I see. In short, he felt at ease next to us."It was truly incredible to see a Mai

    "I see, so you are Setsuna."In a large room, a blue haired little girl could be seen standing in front of a blonde haired woman.'Incredible! So this is the daughter of Castitas. How powerful.'It wasn't the first time she had met someone at the level of a ruler. But compared to her father, or even her uncle, the woman sitting with a faint smile in front of her made all her instinct scream in submission. She had to give her all to not simply roll over and show her stomach.Seemingly noticing her discomfort, Camelia showed a smiled in apology before dispersing the silent pressure that was filling the room."I am sorry. Your father was someone I respected very much. Hearing about his potential demise is something truly sad and I lost control of my emotions."Setsuna lowered her head at the mention of her father. Her eyes reddened as she fought to hold back her tears. No matter how far she had fallen, she was still the princess. She refused to show such a disgraceful sight to a stranger
