The next morning arrived and I stood out at the balcony, looking out into the distance. Everything was different. Fielisk did everything in his power to help the kingdom become reinforced. I felt Hoshiyo hug me from behind and lay her head against my back.
"With Alastor out of the picture for a while, I can finally continue my conquest without struggle." I said and let the gentle breeze hit my face.
Hoshiyo smiled and straightened her posture. "Are you free today..?~"
"Just finishing up packing my things. Afterwards I will be free." I said and looked back at Hoshiyo.
Hoshiyo let go of me and walked next to me then stood beside me. She looked off in the distance as well and held the rails of the balcony. "I am known as the Weakest Queen because the fact I never wielded a Crest. Our battle against Alastor...I felt so useless. I couldn't protect anyone..."
"I never found you to be weak. I don't care what the other Queens think. You have more heart than most. I can see where Koan gets his courage from." I said and looked out in the distance.
Hoshiyo smiled and teared up a bit. "My heart aches when I think about you leaving...I want you to stay forever. Things won't be the same without you..."
I smiled and held her hand. "It's not like I won't ever return. I will. You're my wife. I won't abandon you."
Hoshiyo smiled and closed her eyes. I could tell she's been bottling up her emotions. I pulled her over to me and hugged her. She rested her head against my chest and hugged back.
"Let it all out, my love.." I said softly as I rubbed her hair.
Hoshiyo smiled and her tears rolled down her cheeks. We sat outside the balcony and I just let Hoshiyo let out all of her bottled up pain. She cried in my arms, telling me about all of the pain she endured for the longest. I listened to every word and continued to comfort her.
-----
Hoshiyo and I laid on her bed and she cuddled against me, twirling a strand of my hair around her finger as I read a book. She began to trail her finger along my chest. She stared at my lips and began blushing.
"Babe..?~" She softly purred.
"Mhm?~" I replied then looked at her.
Hoshiyo stared into my eyes. "Do you want to play a game..?~"
I smiled and stared into her eyes. I laid on my side and brushed her hair behind her ear. "What kind of game..?~"
"I dunno...~ I just want to play a game that revolves around me and you..~" Hoshiyo said then took my book out of my hand then placed it on the nightstand.
I smiled at her and laid her on her back then towered over her. I placed my hand by her head then leaned down to place my forehead on hers. "Well I know a little game we can play..~"
She gripped my kimono and closed her eyes. "How does it go..?~"
"Like this.." I whispered then kissed her lips.
She kissed back then felt me take off her stockings. Her body began to grow excited at the thought of us finally having sex. She untied her robe then opened her robe, exposing her delicate body.
I pulled away from the kiss then rubbed her naked body. I took off my kimono then set it on the floor. I got off the bed to take off my underwear. Hoshiyo waited patiently as I did so. Once I climbed back on the bed, she grew even more excited. I smiled at her then began to kiss her neck deeply.
She tilted her head and began to moan softly from the pleasure I induced upon her. She wrapped her arms around my nape as she felt the crown of my shaft entering inside her. She let out a louder moan as I my full length was finally inside of her.
I sat up and she let me go then held onto her pillow. I began to give her gentle thrusts and she made soft sounds as she gazed into my eyes. I gazed back into her and gave her a little chuckle. I began to fondle with her breasts as I slowly thrusted my member inside of her. I leaned down and kissed her lips. She kissed back then closed her eyes.
After a few more gentle pushes, I began to strengthen and quuckent my thrusts inside of her. She began to moan loudly within the kiss. I pulled away and listened to her panting and moaning. She arched her back and let out a high pitched grunt.
"R-Right there..!~ Just like that..!~" Hoshiyo squealed and panted.
She gripped her pillow tightly and jerked her head to the side. I held her hips and began to fuck her rougher, grunting occasionally with my thrusts. She arched her back even more and her body began to quake lightly. She panted heavily as she began to cum. She moaned as she came and buried her head into her pillow.
I stopped thrusting and chuckled softly. I leaned down and kissed her neck once again. She wrapped her arms around my nape once again then began to moan into my ear as I began thrusting once again. I pounded my pelvis against hers with purpose.
She loved how rough I was being with her. She tried to sit up, but I pinned her down by her neck. She held my wrist and panted like a dog. She whimpered and moaned loudly as I drilled myself inside of her deeper.
"Yes!~ Mnnngh!!~ Don't...stop..!~" She begged and felt another wave of pleasure growing inside of her.
I panted as I began to thrust even faster. Hoshiyo cried out as she began to climax once again. She began to squirt and her body shook. I didn't stop fucking her. She wailed with pleasure and clawed my back. I began to growl and grunt louder as I began to grow close.
"Give...me another child..!~" She begged and bit down on my shoulder, whimpering loudly with intense pleasure.
I gave her one last powerful thrust then groaned with pleasure as I erupted inside of her. She held onto me tightly and squeaked loudly. We both panted and I pulled outside of her and sat down on the bed.
Hoshiyo rested her arm over her eyes, panting. She rolled on her side and continued to pant softly. I chuckled softly and rubbed her leg. I crawled toward her and kissed her cheeks.
"Again..?~" I asked.
"Please..~" Hoshiyo smiled and nodded.
-----
After our session of intimacy and sex, we cleaned ourselves up and went to the new game room and I noticed Koan playing with Masuhiro. This surprised Hoshiyo because Masuhiro isn't known to ever be in the game room often.
Masuhiro caught the ball and closed his eyes. He looked at the new maid who was still trying to grow accustomed to her role. "It's not the same...but we both know we need someone to fill in the role. I'm sure Flora will do great.."
Koan nodded and smiled at Flora. She wasn't Mia, but she was the one who stepped up to be Koan's new guardian.
"Masuhiro? What's the occasion?" Hoshiyo asked.
"Koan asked me to come play since...you two were busy." Masuhiro smiled.
Hoshiyo blushed. "Y-You heard us?"
"Only when I stopped by to see if you were busy. You two aren't busy anymore, so you care for one last game before your departure, Lord Ryoma?" Masuhiro smiled at me.
I smiled back and nodded. "What's the game?"
"Kemari. Whoever drops the ball, loses. An old game our family always played before leaving on a mission." Masuhiro said.
"Sure. I'll play." I smiled.
Hoshiyo and Koan were excited and we got in circle. Flora joined as well. Masuhiro started it off by rolling the ball onto his feet then bounced it up and down off his foot. He smiled and performed a few tricks then kicked it toward Hoshiyo.
Hoshiyo bounced the ball off her knee then twirled around and bounced the ball off her heel then twirled again and caught the ball with her foot. She bounced the ball up then gracefully twirled and kicked it toward me.
I let the ball hit my chest then I bounced it up and down off my knee. I bounced the ball over my head then used my heel to bounce it back over my head. I kicked the ball to Koan.
Koan bounced the ball off his chest then smiled a bittersweet smile. He did all of his signature tricks. The more he thought about Mia, the more he thought about my words. He bounced the ball up high and we all looked at the ball. Koan jumped up and twirled around then kicked the ball toward Flora.
Flora watched the ball then stopped the ball with her wing. The ball fell to the floor and caught the ball with her foot. She began to perform all of Mia's tricks. Koan watched her in awe. Flora knew Mia's tricks up to the every last detail and even did the little grunt she always does at the end of her tricks.
I looked at Flora and noticed her and Mia had a few similarities. 'Reincarnation..?'
Flora dropped the ball and panted. She held her knees and closed her eyes. "I guess...I'm out."
"She even talks like her..!" Koan said.
"But Flora only appeared today. Mia's tricks are extremely unique. She even has the same accent." Masuhiro said.
I smirked and chuckled. "She must come from the same village. Mia's village was rather small."
Flora seemed surprised at my answer. She looked at me and felt grateful that I've kept her secret.
'Yeah...no doubt about it. That is Mia's reincarnation. It wouldn't be special if I just told them.' I thought to myself.
'Thank you, Lord Ryoma...You said I will always be with Master Koan and I am here to prove you are correct. I won't ever truly leave his side.' Flora thought to herself.
We continued to play the game and to no one's surprise Hoshiyo won the game. We all sat around the circle for a bit longer. I truly felt like I had my entire family with me again.
"So...where are you headed next?" Masuhiro asked.
"Selum. Once I get there, I will officially be in the Central Section of Uthea. I still have fourteen more kingdoms to get through before I reach the city. It'll be a rough road, but I'm more than confident in my abilities." I smiled.
"I'll miss you, Papa." Koan said.
"I will miss you too, my son." I smiled at him. I stood up slowly then sighed softly. "I should get ready to head out. I would like to get there before nightfall. Dark Beasts do still roam the lands."
"I'll see you out." Hoshiyo smiled.
I nodded and I waved at everyone then made my exit. Hoshiyo followed behind me and fixed her robe. We walked together down the hall and made our way to the front of the castle. I stopped in front of the door and turned to look at Hoshiyo.
"I'll miss you the most.." Hoshiyo said and looked into my eyes.
"I know you will.." I smiled and stroked her hair.
I leaned forward and kissed her lips one last time. She kissed back and held onto me. We kissed for a few more seconds then we pulled away and gazed into each other's eyes. She slowly let me go and smiled.
"Don't die on me out there..~" She said.
I smiled. "I promise."
I kissed her forehead then walked to the door. "I love you, Hoshiyo."
Hoshiyo had a few tears running down her cheek. "I love you too, Ryoma."
I left the castle and felt my heart aching a bit. I walked toward Nebula who was waiting outside for me in her Horse Form. I climbed on her back and smiled a bit.
"Did you have fun here?" I asked.
Nebula whinnied and nodded her head.
I smiled and rubbed her neck. "I'm glad..~ Well, it's onward to Selum. Let's go partner."
I looked back at the castle one last time then noticed Hoshiyo waved at me from the balcony. I waved back and smiled at her.
"Until we meet again...Queen of Ezusha..~" I said to myself.
I clicked my teeth and Nebula whinnied and began to gallop away. Hoshiyo watched us and smiled.
With our paths now splitting, Nebula and I made our way toward a new adventure with a new kingdom to conquer and wife to marry. Apparently from what Nebula tells me, Selum is a kingdom that specializes in Martial Arts. The Queen of Selum is apparently the Master of Wrestling so I was pretty excited to see what Selum was all about.
-----
Nebula travelled along a path and I looked around then she came to a stop when she noticed a fight going on. I watched the fight and noticed a woman battling against a masked figure. The woman had long red hair with green eyes and she wore a sleeveless leotard with a black coat with split tails, and wore black knee high boots.
The woman dodged a kick then grabbed their leg, slamming them down on the ground. She was about to put the person in a submission hold, but they kicked her off and got up. As I looked closer at the figure I noticed it was a masked man.
The man dashed toward the woman and blocked her attack then palmed her stomach. She groaned then yelled as she was blown away with a powerful kick. She crashed into a tree then fell to her knees. I got off Nebula and watched the man walk toward her.
The man was about to attack, but dodged my sword. I warped to my sword then sheathed it and kicked the man away. He rolled backwards then recovered.
"Emperor Ryoma. I've heard about the battle that took place in Ezusha. Very impressive!" The man laughed then got into his stance.
I looked back at the woman and noticed she was knocked out cold. I looked at the man. I dashed toward him and he grunted at my speed. He couldn't dodge my attack in time.
"Go on a trip." I said then launched him away with a punch.
He groaned and crashed through multiple trees then crashed into a lake, making a large splash.
I walked back to the woman and picked her up then put her on Nebula's back then got on afterwards. "Take us to the nearest inn!"
Nebula neighed and hurried to a city or village. I made sure the woman was still alive and used my magic to keep her condition in check.
To Be Continued....
