Monarch of Darkness, Arsene

Chapter 422: Lilith - Paradise

Lifting my lips, my eyes narrowed at the adorable fool calling for death. Yu Jing was not that damnable Wraith. Killing her would be a challenge but not a massive one.

"Is everything alright?" Said a soft, gentle voice that seemed to bring peace to the air itself. Shifting my attention from the woman growing to be a thorn within my side. I looked upon a fair maiden with long silk-like hair that trailed to her back. She had long silver lashes, with cat-like eyes within her violet eyes.

Simply calling her beautiful was downright insulting. She was downright enchanting.

"Greetings," She uttered in a meek pitch, lowering her head before Arsene. "I am Cathleen, y-y-your guide to paradise."

"Well met, darling, I am Lelouch, and this is my wife, Yura."

Noticing the faint gleam within Mr. Snow's eyes, I sniffed the air. Detecting the hormones overflowing from his body, I narrowed my gaze, shifting my focus back towards Cathleen.

"And your reason for this visit?" She meekly inquired, lifting her violet eyes towards Arsene like a stray cat.

"Oh? Business, I'm afraid, although I am never one to dismiss pleasure. Anywhere we can speak privately?"

FLushed, Cathleen covered her mouth with the clipboard within her hand, "Forgive me. How could I be so stupid! Please, if you will, follow me while I introduce you to Paradise."

"Wait! we are not done," Shouted, Yu Jing placing her hands upon the pommel of her sword that hung upon her waist.

"Hey, Lili," Sene suddenly called to me, pulling me into his strong arms. Holding me close, he whispered into my ear, "What race is she? She seemed so... I don't even know how to describe it."

"You want her?" I whispered back a little betrayal. Even if I could join, I still just wanted him to look at me.

"Why would I when I have a goddess I have yet to fully tame? I held one major victory." He solemnly voiced, tracing his hands down past my waist.

"Papa? What are you doing?" Arkanos suddenly called out, but his hands did not seem to slow as he entered my trousers from behind.

Biting my lips, his hot voice echoed out, passing through my loins and body with a shiver of lust. "Look away, Arkanos. Mama and Papa are here on business."

"Looks to be a game of lust if you ask me. Isn't this public nudity?" Yu Jing complained in a petty manner.

Cathline turned to us, but Arsene cool voice resounded in a comforting tone, "Ignore my daughter; she finds it quite hard to accept her new daddy's first wife."

"YOU SON OF A BITCH!"

"See? Defiant as always! Tell me, Cathleen, do you know what we do in my house when a little kitty is bad?"

Buckling at the knee, Arsnse fingers dug down into my back door as I immediately covered my mouth, only for a lustful squeak to escape my lips.

She shook her head as Arsene smiled, pulling out of me, giving my rump a small pat that had my spine shaking and my loins wet. He continued, "We punish them, of course."

"I will damn well pray to master to see that bloody day!" Yu Jing roared, drawing her sword with a fiery passion.

Somewhat flushed like me, Cathleen hurryed to turn around, continuing down the streets littered with flying vehicles. Noticing her pace far quicker than before, Sene chuckled. Seemingly finding a new target to prey upon.

"This is it," Cathleen suddenly uttered, pointing towards the piercing building near the entrance. "This is where all guests must be signed up on all the various other activities Paradice has to offer."

"Hmmm, well, we were here for the Oasis of Demara. Does this so call Paradise still have such a thing? Also, if you don't mind, tell us what happened. Form how my wife speaks of this place; it was never like this."

"We have always been like so!" Cathleen uttered vibrantly without missing a beat. "I have worked at Paradice for more than five hundred years, and nothing has changed."

"Wow! Five hundred years!" Cheered Arsene with a grin that held a deeper meaning for those who knew him. Something was definitely going on.

'soul gaze,' I chanted from deep within my mind as an azure soul flame filled my sight. It was massive and warped than any type of soul I had ever seen before.

"Thank You!" Said Cathleen meekly, blushing at Arsene's empty compliment.

Turning to Arkanos at my side, I to began to frown even more. It was hidden within Cathleen, maybe by some force, but a strange Azure Essence was surrounding Arkanos draconic soul.

Widening my eyes in horror, a chill ran through my spine and heart like a knife as it finally hit me: the Azure Qi, the massive souls, the disheveled memories. These people were under someone's thrall.

"Sene, we need to leave now!" I sent a message deep within his mind, "We may be fine, but Arkanos is in danger, Yu Jing as well.

"What of it?" He sent back with smoldering eyes of bubbling darkness that seemed to deepen with each passing day, "It matters not to me, what happens to either of them. However, what type of king allows his subjects to be harmed before him. Why don't you help the little dragon?

Tracing over The Spear of Noctem, I held my words at the tip of my tongue; he was getting worse. It was almost like there were two Arsene inside each other similar to me all those years ago with Lili.

"Please, if you will follow me,' Cathleen hummed, brushing by me with a slight blush. I hasitly took note of the trace of Azure Soul Essence trying to enter me, I simply lifted my lips, following behind without much concern.

Wiggling my hand towards the little dragon, I watched her sparkle return in her bored eyes. Reaching for my hands, she looked up, flashing me a loving smile.

Driving abyssal energy into her small body, the young dragon did not resist as it turned to soul essence, driving out some of the Azure Qi on its own.

Turning a lighter shade than before, Arkanos giggled, "Auntie's hands are warm!"

"CATHLEEN! DARLING, YOU HAVE RETURNED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Howled a booming voice that had the entire realm shaking.
