As Liri came inside the Duchess once again, she promised herself that this was, in fact, it.
She could now retrieve her cock, pick her dignity up off the floor, push herself away, and figure out a way to get her friends out of the dungeon they were currently stuck in.
It was, after all, a pretty intense situation, at the end of the day. They were all in the middle of enemy territory, with elves in need of assistance around them. Liri did not have time to enjoy the warmth and tightness this lady's pussy offered. She did not have time to wrap her arms around her body, in appreciation of its thickness, the way she was doing right now.
So, of course, she was going to tear herself away and move into action...
Anytime now...
As soon as this stopped feeling so good.
[Alteria, you really screwed me, making me like sex this much. Or, is this just me? Did I always like sex this much and I just didn't know because I'd been a virgin? I dunno.]
"Duchess," someone said, opening the door. "Excuse me, I-"
They paused.
Liri turned around, with her arms still wrapped around the human greedily, as she looked at whoever had come in and interrupted this moment.
There was a young girl standing there. One with long, somewhat curly, blonde hair, wearing black and grey armor.
Actual armor. She looked like a knight of some sort.
The girl was frozen in place by the sight before her, her mouth wide open as she'd stopped in the middle of her sentence, processing what her eyes were trying to inform her was happening.
As her eyes met Liri's, she finally pulled away.
"I..." She said. "My apologies. I will give you a moment."
Just like that, she closed the door.
[... Who was that just now?]
"Ah, your cock has no business feeling as good as it does, with that size. I guess appearances can be deceiving," the Duchess said as laughter bubbled up inside her. "Though, it seems my free time has come to an end. Can you give me some space?"
"S-Sure," Liri replied.
She stood up and took a step back, allowing the Duchess to get up as well. Liri poked her dick and shuddered. It was still so sensitive.
"You should put on that maid outfit, by the way," the Duchess told her with a slightly more quiet voice. "Otherwise, the other Inquisitors may not be as kind as that one was. Without your uniform, they will not understand what is happening here. If that had been one of the older ones, you may have been killed on the spot."
Liri froze.
[... The *other* Inquisitors? THAT WAS AN INQUISITOR!?]
As the Duchess caught the look on Liri's face, she laughed again.
"Ah, was that your first time running into one?" The Duchess asked as she used a delicate napkin to clean herself. "Hardly a decent way to make your first impression. Yes, that was an Inquisitor. They are the God-King's personal guards. The strongest of all humans. The one who just came in, I believe, is called Mariana. The youngest of them, and yet, she could probably kill everyone in my mansion with minimal effort. Hence why my guards did nothing to stop her from coming into the room."
[Huh...] Liri calmed herself down. [I didn't get a good look at her Soul Rating. I definitely want to see how strong she and the other Inquisitors are before I do anything too drastic.]
"I will speak to them, by the way. The Inquisitors are not under my command, but they will not go against their leader's words. So, I'll let them know that you are to be left alone, at least until the God-King tells us what to do with you. Don't worry too much. Just try not to offend anyone and you should be alright."
"Um, w-what about my friends?" Liri asked.
"I..." The Duchess gave her a sad smile. "I cannot offer them the same safety. The God-King's orders are quite clear when it comes to what to do with them."
To Liri, what that meant was:
[I guess I will have to break them out.]
At that moment, the Duchess began putting on her dress once more. The room still smelled like sex, a scent that numbed Liri's mind, but it didn't seem like she minded too much.
At one point, however, Liri saw something interesting. Something she hadn't noticed up until now.
The Duchess's ears were covered. Bandaged, actually.
She hadn't been able to see them up until now because the woman's hair had been covering them and, additionally, Liri had been... Distracted. Now, however, she noticed that fact.
"What happened to your ears?" Liri asked.
The Duchess arched a brow but then looked away.
"Right... Now, I truly do see how ignorant you are of Diosia's recent history. Have you been believing I was a human this whole time? Quite a scandalous affair to be having while your friends are imprisoned, no?"
"What?" Liri blinked.
The Duchess laughed.
"I am no human, Liri. I am an elf."
That information shook Liri to her core.
Liri's mouth hung open. She had no words for the longest time, all while the Duchess watched her with some amusement.
"B-But... Everything that's happening here..."
She begged for an explanation but couldn't quite put it into words. The Duchess, thankfully, explained what was going on.
"I have been the Duchess of Diosia for quite a while. Since before the God-King's rise. My people liked me well enough. But, when the God-King began his Purity Act, I realized my time in their good graces carried an expiration date." She placed her elbows on the nearby window frame, looking out at the city as she spoke. "The God-King laid waste to one village and town after another, pushing elves and drasen out of his territories. As he drew closer and closer to Diosia, I realized I had a choice to make. So, I let every elf in this town know that they needed to leave, and I visited the God-King personally."
The Duchess shook her head, recalling the events.
"He allowed me to speak with him for no other reason than because he was amused. I did so, kneeled before him, and cut the tips of my ears off, pledging to live my life as a human from that point forward. That I would follow any and all orders he gave. On the sole condition that he would spare me."
"You... You sold your people out?" Liri asked.
"I don't think you can say that," she replied quickly. "The God-King was on his way here to kill them all regardless. All I did was save my own life. I have not killed a single one of my former citizens of my own will. If you still believe that what I did makes me evil, then so be it. But, wouldn't you rather be evil and be alive than be good and die young?"
"I... I don't know."
"Hopefully, you will never be put in a position where you have to decide such a thing," she responded. "I am going to go get myself something to eat. I know I gave you the title of 'maid' but, you can feel free to do as you wish. If... for whatever reason, you end up 'going missing', please, do not bring whatever fight ends up happening to me. I have no desire to get my dress dirty today. See you later, darling."
