Chereads / The Scarlet Paladin / Chapter 21 - Regretful Day

Chapter 21 - Regretful Day

Jasmine finished putting the twins in the room she rented out in case this happened. It took all her willpower, but she stopped them before they went too far. Laying Elsie down next to Ana, they immediately found eachother in an embrace. She looked to Claire on the other bed, she was restless in her sleep. She kicked and squirmed in the bed, Jasmine can only guess it was because of her new burden.

"Fuck, could you not wait to spring it on the girl?" Jasmine said in frustration as she sat next to Claire. She caressed the girl's face, trying to ease her pain. Her former student was carrying far too much on her shoulders. Then Elizabeth decided to add her plans on top of it. Claire reacted to her touch, seeming to calm down slightly. She didn't expect her party members to be such lightweights, the twins barely finished one drink.

She let out a sigh and laid down next to Claire. She wrapped the writhing girl in her arms and started humming a lullaby. Her embrace and the humming seemed to drastically calm Claire in her sleep. She was no longer kicking and her breathing returned to a normal, deep cadence.

Not long after, Jasmine fell asleep herself.

 

Claire woke up to a blinding light, she began to panic as she thought her goddess was visiting her. But her head splitting headache and nausea snapped her out of that delusion. It was the sun peeking through the curtains and hitting her eyes. She tried to sit up, but her world spun and it felt like her head was being stabbed. Her vision blurred as her head felt light.

Her world slowly stopped spinning and she could begin to see more clearly. Her head still throbbed in pain, but she could deal with it for now. She looked to her right side and found Ana. She looked to her left and Elsie was hanging onto her arm. They began to stir and she could tell they were going through the same pain.

"Ahh, my head." Elsie whispered. Straining her eyes closed to relieve the pain. Ana was rubbing her temples as she agreed with a nod.

Claire chuckled lightly, causing her headache to worsen as she winced in pain. "So this is a hangover." She said.

Ana flinched at the sound, causing her own pain to flare. "Y-yeah, let me try healing," she said faintly. Her hands glowed a radiant yellow as the light enveloped Claire. Her pain slowly faded, but her lightheadedness and nausea remained.

"Thank you Ana, how'd we get here? Last I remember we were on the table…" Claire said. She looked to the other bed, expecting Jasmine, but it was empty. It looked to have been used with the blankets thrown around.

She lay back and let the twins snuggle up to her. Despite the stimulation of the two, her cock for once did not stir. Her body was seemingly too tired to get it up, but their warmth did feel nice. Slowly, she drifted back to sleep, her twin lovers cuddled up to her.

She was awakened with a shake, her eyes shot open to see Jasmine standing over her. Her nausea and lightheadedness seemingly gone, she slowly sat up. Jasmine helped her as she shook off Elsie and Ana.

"What time is it?" She asked groggily.

"2 in the afternoon. When did the twins join you?" She asked.

Claire shrugged and said," I thought you put them here."

Jasmine sighed and continued." We seriously need to talk about all this."

Claire nodded. While it was nice to escape from reality for the night, she knew this conversation needed to happen. "Do you want to start with the cocks or…"

"I guess, but first we should wake them up," she said. They chose a twin and woke them up. They both groggily got up and sat close to Claire. Elsie rested her head on Claire's shoulder while Ana lay on her lap. They did their best to stay awake while Jasmine continued.

"We need to reign in these urges. Imagine if your mom returned while you girls were on that table?" Her tone was serious. Flashes of the previous night came back to Claire. How Ana was nude and kissing her sister. "I'm not mad, we just need to deal with it."

Claire nodded," I know…. It's just so tempting when I see you three."

"True, especially in that dress." Elsie said.

Claire smiled at that, they didn't even get to see the lingerie she was wearing. It looks like her cock finally woke up, as it throbbed for attention. She shook her head, it was happening again. She was getting distracted.

"M-maybe we n-need to distract ourselves," Ana said from Claire's lap. She was dangerously close to Claire's growing erection. "O-or relieve our.. Urges."

Jasmine pursed her lips in contemplation." Distractions only last for a while, how would we keep distracted on long travels? And if we relieved the urges, do you know how much time that'd waste?"

"Could Lily make a libido controller?" Elsie asked. Meaning she'd have to be brought into the secret of the party.

"It's a good idea, but she may freak out upon learning why." Jasmine said.

"How were you able to control yourself last night?" Claire asked.

"My class. It was hard to resist when I first got my cock, you've seen me. But then I got used to it more. My unnerving skill and breathing techniques were finally able to control those urges." She said. 

"That must be nice." Elsie said. She shifted to lay next to her sister, making Claire tense up. They were so close and it was getting hard to concentrate."Maybe our paladin wouldn't get hard so quickly."

Claire flinched, she tried her best to control herself. "My Goddess really wants me to… breed. It's hard to control it as well." She said with a whimper. She tried the breathing Jasmine does, but she just couldn't control it. She was pulled out by Jasmine's touch.

"Claire, it's okay. She's fucking with you. We can try the libido suppressants for now and keep ourselves distracted in the meantime.." She said and then she let out a sigh. "Best distraction right now is Elizabeth's plan."

A pause enveloped the room. She was right, every lewd thought left Claire's mind and her words were caught in her throat. The future of both the party and their lands. Overthrowing Lady Lloyd and changing society was too much for four people. 

"We need to get you levels and get you more skills. Elizabeth already has quests lined up, but we also need to experiment with our buffs. And grow our bond for the Bestowed Skills." Jasmine said.

"Right, the experience gain skill should be our main priority." Elsie stated. "If we can upgrade that, then it will make leveling easier."

They all nodded in unison. Their thoughts went to their unique skills and how best to utilize them. Jasmine had already put in orders for tonics and poisons for tests. Elsie looked to her sister, she could trigger both their skills pretty easily like last night. Ana was thinking along the same lines, and began to speculate.

Claire, however, remembered how much experience she got from gaining a lover. Maybe getting Lily on board would be best for new skills and levels. She was able to level up without fighting, something unusual for combat classes. But it made sense with who her goddess was.

After a brief pause for each of them to think about their next steps as individuals, Claire decided to speak up. "What type of quests do we have lined up?"

Jasmine took a deep breath, she had just returned from talking with Elizabeth about this. "Mostly monster hunting. She got us quests above your paygrade, but would yield a lot of experience. Plus, some gathering quests for Daphne to upgrade our gear." She paused and looked at Claire, "Some are to fight bandits…"

She let her words hang in the air. Knowing the girls were hesitant to fight other women and take another's life. But combat is the best way to level up and get more skills.

Claire tensed up, yet again she was confronted with killing. They may be horrible people if they are bandits, but still it felt wrong to her. Jasmine watched as Claire's expression became more stoic as she digested her words. 

"I will do what I must"
