Chapter 502: Chapter 502 - Epilogue(Part 2)
"How’d it go, Larrk? Any issues out there?" Inquired Arucei, as I stepped into her office. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
"Nope, all good, nothing to be concerned about. Actually, I didn’t even have to do anything, the Monsters tore them apart without me needing to so much as lift a finger," I replied with a wry smile.
"Huh, maybe adding all those S-Ranked Monsters was a bit overkill," She responded in bemusement. freeweɓnøvel.com
Six months have passed since we took over Cairns City and turned it into the Nation of Larcelaru, and things have all but settled down at this point.
As expected, several large parties of Adventurers showed up to try and take back control of the city, most of them getting mauled to death by the scores of Monsters outside the wall, and the few that did manage to get through the Monsters proceeded to get cut down by Celes and I.
The attempts to take back the city slowed down in no time, but we do still get a few groups showing up every now and then. About a month ago, I headed to a few Dungeons, and gathered and added even more Monsters to the area outside the wall, including several S-Ranked species. With that, it’d take nothing short of a miracle to reach the wall unscathed at this point.
And our small nation has really started to prosper over the last couple of months. Arucei worked tirelessly to get everything sorted out, and now, the place is operating like a well-oiled machine, pretty much every single citizen is living a nice, comfortable life.
The people were pretty wary of Celes and I initially, but as more time went by, and the more clear it became that we weren’t deceiving them or harboring any ulterior motives, they warmed up to us pretty fast.
There’s even been talk of building statues of us lately, which both of us were very much against, and we convinced Arucei not to approve it by pointing out that it’d be a waste of time, effort and resources, and we were better off focusing efforts on more practical endeavors.
"How are things going with your work, by the way? You still seem pretty busy," I remarked, as I glanced at the pile of paperwork on her desk.
"Yeah, things have settled down and eased up a whole lot, but there’s still a lot of work to do. I’m planning on delegating a lot more going forward, but things are still a bit delicate right now, so I’ll keep pushing myself a while longer," She replied, looking a bit stressed, before glancing back and adding as I walked behind her and began rubbing her shoulders, "Oh, thanks...mm, that feels nice, I really needed this. Yeah, that’s the spot..."
"Sure, don’t mention it, it’s the least I can do. You free tonight, by the way? You could come hang out with Celes and I at our place, might be a good way to unwind and blow off some steam," I suggested, as I firmly pressed my fingers into her shoulders.
"Mm. Sorry, but not tonight, I’m planning on working late. I should be able to make some time in a couple of days or so, though," She responded sheepishly.
"While I do appreciate your work ethic and all, you’re gonna wear yourself out real fast if you keep this up. At least a take a day off every now and then," I advised her, as she leaned back in her seat.
"Yeah, you have a point, I have been feeling pretty rundown lately. Blowing off some steam might be just what I need, like you suggested...care to help me out with that?" She whispered as she met my gaze, running her hand over my crotch as she tilted her head up and met my gaze.
I slid my left hand down her shoulder and to her chest, before cupping her cheek with my right hand. She parted her lips slightly as I ran my thumb across her lower lip, a gleam of desire appearing in her eyes.
"More than happy to help. What would you like me to do?" I lowered my voice teasingly as I leaned down towards her ear, a quiet gasp escaping her lips.
"Well, for starters...take a seat," She replied, as she stood up and patted her chair.
She plopped down on my lap as I sat down, throwing her arms around my shoulders as she met my gaze.
"You sure are enthusiastic, aren’t you?" I smirked, as I took hold of her hips and squeezed them.
"Yeah...it’s been a bit too long. It’s too bad you didn’t bring Celes with you, it feels the best when all three of us do it...but this is plenty great too," She replied, before running her hands through the back of my head as she leaned in and kissed me.
I slipped my hands under her top, her body shuddering slightly as I traced my fingertips along her torso, before cupping her breasts and kneading them firmly.
She shifted her position a bit, straddling me as I grabbed her ass and massaged it firmly, as she began kissing me fervently and passionately, grinding against me as she moaned slightly, her face flushed as she pulled back to catch her breath.
"Yeah, you’re definitely looking like you’ve got a lot more energy now," I chuckled, before she let out a quiet gasp as I leaned in and kissed her neck, nibbling on it lightly as I continuing squeezing her ass, kneading it between my hands as she shifted her hips back and forth, her back arching as I bit her neck a bit more firmly, a stifled moan ringing out.
Suddenly, she hopped off my lap and got on her knees between my legs, placing her hands on my thighs as she looked up me with a gleam in her eyes, wordlessly asking me to tell her what to do, asking me a question she already knew the answer to...
