Chapter 181: Surrender, Subordinate State Part Three
The next morning birds chirping outside the window could be heard. Kana, who was still half asleep, smacked her lips as she adjusted her position. She felt a familiar warmth and scent next to her causing her to smile as she clambered on to said warmth. Creige, who was woken up with his little wife climbing on top of him, gave a helpless smile seeing her lightly gnawing on his chest. She was not biting hard but more like her animal instincts were kicking in, allowing her to show her affection in a more primal way.
He reached up and gently patted the top of her head, which made her giggle and smile in her sleep. She ended up wrapping herself around him before finally falling back into a deep sleep. Creige smiled and closed his eyes. About an hour later, Kana finally began to really wake up. She slowly opened her eyes to see tan skin fill her vision. She lifted her head to see a sleeping Creige. She smiled softly as she wiggled her body up, so her face was right over his. She gazed at the handsome face, grinning slightly as she reached up and traced her finger across the contours of his jaw then up over his lips. "Handsome Husband is handsome no matter what he does.."
Kana lowered her head and pushed her lips against his. What she did not expect was for Creige to open his eyes right at that moment and grab the back of her head. She let out a muffled cry before, from fright as her lips were sealed by his. His tongue pushed into her mouth, causing her mind to go blank before she began kissing him back. The two's heated kiss was really starting to heat up the room. Just when Creige was about to pull Kana's shirt off, a sound of someone clearing their throat came from the side.
"Ahem… I know you two are lovers and all, but can you wait until the two of you are alone before doing such intimate acts? Although if you do wish to show us how you will do it, I mean I wouldn't mind." These words were followed by very heavy breathing and then a sound of someone being hit on the head. "Ow Sei!?"
"You started off your statement just fine, but it quickly turned into a very perverted thing. You are really living up to your name as the perverted goddess." Sei said with her arms across her chest. She hated when Yuthia embarrassed her like this. "But she is right. Please hold off until you are alone. You still have a young fox sitting here as well."
Kiliffia was staring at the two on the bed with her cheeks red as can be. She knew she should look, but at the same time, she was truly interested in what was going on on the bed! It was not until Sei said something that she actually broke out of her trance and lowered her head in embarrassment.
Kana also turned red. She had no idea others were around and kinda lost herself in the moment. "Ahem..." Kana coughed a few times before straightening her shirt and sitting up with her legs crossed. "So, how did things end?"
"Well, the empire is now under Rural Kingdom's control. The Rural King has assigned a new leader to rule the empire and will abolish all slavery. It will take some time, but eventually, both beastkin and humans will be able to live in harmony here. All those who oppose will be killed without a trial. There is already a task force set up of both humans and beastkin going to the boarding towns and cities in the empire to begin this unification process while the general handles the capital. With a magic contract signed in blood between the two, the new ruler of the empire can not go against the Rural Kingdom and will live under its flag as a subordinate state. This should be the outcome you were looking for, right?" Sei explained.
"Mmm… As long as people are not treated like slaves because of their race, it is fine. I know it will all take time, but at least we are now taking the first steps to this new way of thinking. If humans and beastkin can coexist, that will be great." Kana said with a smile. She was truly happy with how things were working out. She herself could never be a ruler because she doesn't think she fits such a role, but she does know Claine is someone who is perfect for such a position and would not mistreat anyone based on race. He showed this with how willing he was to allow Tilia to be his daughter. Kana looked at Kiliffia and asked: "How are you? They didn't do anything bad, right?"
"No. Goddess Kana… I… I..." Kiliffia began to tear up again. She felt ashamed and also felt she was far too weak. She wished she was stronger so she would not always need to be rescued all the time.
"Kiliffia, you are one of my friends. Friends look out for each other. It just seems that your beauty makes people want to kidnap you left and right. Maybe we should make you a little more ugly?" Kana said jokingly as she jumped up off her bed and walked over to Kiliffia, giving her a hug. But this hug quickly switched to Kana fluffing Kiliffia's tail. " It could also be this perfect softness. This fluffy tail that is so fluff fluff..."
"Hey, my tails are fluffy! Why don't you ever fluff them!?" Yuthia felt kind of jealous. She wanted her tails fluffed too!
"No one wants to fluff a perverted goddess's tails. Ask your girlfriend to do it if you want your tail fluffed." Kana teased. She stuck her tongue out at Yuthia before going back to rubbing Kiliffia's tail on her face.
"It seems our task here is done, so Yuthia and I will be heading back now." Sei cut in. The two of them had been in the mortal world long enough.
"Oh..." Kana put Kiliffia's tail down and got up, and bowed her head. "I truly thank the both of you for your help this time around. If not, I do not know what I would have done."
"We didn't do much except follow you around. You did most of the work. You should be proud of yourself. " Yuthia said with a smile.
"Yuthia is right. You were very amazing. We must be off. Until next time!" Sei said as she waved goodbye. Both Sei and Yuthia disappeared with a flash of light.
"Kana, I should be heading back myself. Baldswin is probably cursing my name by now. I will come to visit you soon." Creige said as he stepped forward and pulled Kana into his embrace.
"Mmm... I will see you soon. I need to go to a place for a while and finish something, hopefully…. When I am done, I will be stronger than I am now. Creige, if you can, can you try to find some information on Ceilie? I wish to know how she is doing..." Kana asked as she hugged Creige tightly.
"Yeah, I will take some time in the next week and teleport to the cities around here and see if anyone has seen her. I will send you a message as soon as I find something. " Creige gave Kana a kiss on the lips before disappearing.
Kana let out a sigh before falling backwards onto Kiliffia's bed. She reached her hand out in front of her, grasping at the light on the ceiling as she said: "Kiliffia, we both need to get stronger. Strong enough so no one can stop us."
"I will not let you down. I will make sure that you will never have to rescue me again and that I am worthy of being someone you can rely on." Kiliffia was brimming with determination. She first needs to level up, evolve, and go from there.
