Chapter 289: The Abyss
[AN: Bonus Chapter 2/5]
In an inn within the Rolina territory, the same territory that Lord Simmons ruled over, Nergal was currently curled up in Ceilie"s embrace sleeping peacefully with a smile on her face. On her finger was a black ring that looked tattooed on. Ceilie was still awake as she gently caressed Nergal"s hair. Both of them were without clothes since they had just consummated their binding. Ceilie looked at her finger and let out a sigh. "I finally fell into Nergal"s trap. But this is not so bad. We have been together for so long that it only seemed natural. But to think I would end up marrying another girl… Hah… Though, I guess it makes sense since I never planned to marry any guy."
Ceilie looked down at Nergal and lowered her head, and kissed the top of Nergal"s head. "I wonder what Kana will say..."
"Mmmm… Ceilie any more, and I will..." Nergal mumbled in her sleep, her ears twitching away.
"This girl..." Ceilie shook her head. Her new wife was even a pervert in her sleep. The next day Ceilie and Nergal headed towards the main city of the Rolina territory, Jod City.
"Creige, I think by now I am probably pregnant. We have spent the past few days in this room rolling around on the bed." Kana"s words may sound like a complaint, but she was smiling away as she cuddled up next to her Handsome Husband.
"It"s fine. The new house and also the forge already have many nannies waiting for our children to be born. I have also had enough clothes made for boys and girls to clothe over one hundred children from the day they are born until the age of ten." Creige proudly said.
"One hundred, huh? Then I guess we need to make sure we fill that quota." Kana grinned and was about to pounce onto Creige once more when the door to their room suddenly opened.
"Kana, I know you are probably doing the "Oh Creige harder, harder!" But I want you and your husband to come look at something!" Camlia walked right into the bedroom, not caring that the two were naked.
"Big Sister! Ten minutes!" Kana yelled. She had just climbed on!
Camlia looked at the two, grinned, and nodded her head: "Ten minutes! Hurry up. I need your help."
"Umm… Big Sister, why are you sitting down?" Kana watched as Camlia walked right over to the couch in the room and sat down, staring right at the bed.
"I said I would give you ten minutes. Do you expect me to make a round trip to come get you again? It"s easier to just sit here." Camlia answered.
Kana pouted and lost all interest in continuing. She slid off the bed and walked over to put some clothes on before grabbing Camlia and pulling her out of the room. "Tch… You two are no fun."
"You can"t expect people to do that when others are watching." Kana complained.
"Humph. Anyway, let"s wait for your husband to finish getting dressed so we can head to the barrier." Camlia decided to change the subject so she could see Kana was getting annoyed.
It did not take Creige long to get dressed. He and Kana then followed Camlia to the very edge of h.e.l.l. "You see these things? They are called Darklings. They are strange creatures that come from within the abyss. They are the reason why h.e.l.l is not as big as it used to be and are also the reason why the number of souls being used to create this barrier has increased."
"Oh, Your Majesty, you are here." Mel came running up. She pushed her gla.s.ses up her nose and turned to look at Kana. She quickly walked right over and took Kana"s hands as she began introducing herself. "You must be Miss Kana, her Majesty"s new little sister. My name is Mel. I am the lead researcher in h.e.l.l. I am one hundred and seventeen and still virgi…."
"Enough, Mel. What is it that you have to report." Camlia quickly interrupted Mel. The look and killing intent that was coming from Creige did not seem too good, and she did not wish to lose her lead researcher.
"Ahem.." Mel released Kana"s hands and cleared her throat. "From the new tools, we made we were able to tell that the darklings seem to be coming from the center of the abyss. But there is no actual way to say this is one hundred percent accurate unless we venture out and take a first hand look. Your Majesty, I am willing to risk my life to find out the cause of this. If it is possible to even reverse whatever is creating these things, we may just be able to recover the old areas of h.e.l.l that were lost so long ago."
"I see… But this is too risky since we do not know what is out there. " Camlia was in a dilemma. She was unsure of what lay in the depths of the abyss. But now she knew this was no time to be worrying about the what ifs.
"I will go." Kana suddenly spoke up. She did not know what lay within the abyss, but she felt something was calling out to her. What this something was, she did not know.
"Kana, even I am wary of going into the depths of the abyss, I do not think..." Camlia was trying to persuade Kana not to go when a finger was pressed against her lips. But when Kana bent over and whispered into her ear, Camlia"s eyes went wide. "Are you sure?"
"Mmm… I must go. " Kana replied with a nod of her head.
"Then I will allow it."Camlia reluctantly said before turning to Creige and saying: "Hey Handsome Husband, you must take care of my little sister, you hear?"
"That"s a given..." Creige snorted. Her words seemed to hit a sore spot. For Creige, it was normal for him to protect Kana with his life as long as she allowed it. He did not need to be told such things.
"Then it looks like us three will be going. Now Kana!" Mel suddenly latched on to Kana"s arm, intertwining her fingers with Kana"s as she asked: "What do you think about girls? Are you willing to… Ow!"
Creige immediately s.n.a.t.c.hed Mel up by the ear and tossed her to the side.
