Unlike the Frost Castle or even Phoenix Castle for that matter, the castle of Aria was built with a glaring lack of theme. No pillars of ice or no amber stone adorned the place, and the only striking feature it had was the occasional etching of past warriors on the walls, but that too was spread out and not many.
Passing through one such hall with all kinds of imagery portrayed over the walls, Haruki was led into the corridor that he'd wanted to get to so far. Still hidden in shadow, he moved from one puddle of dark to the other, until finally, he found a room that seemed to be occupied by someone.
'This has to be it.' He thought, passing in from under the door. Upon getting inside he noticed that much like his own room, there was a massive king's bed in the middle surrounded by a bunch of other luxuries. Quickly crawling out of the shadow, Haruki stood right by the king's bed.
"I'm finally here," he whispered, watching the king soundly sleeping on the bed.
Tucked under the blanket in front of him was the first true mark of his revenge, and now, before long he was about to end it all with him.
"Crimson tongue curse: Begging for death," keeping his hand over the king's body, Haruki closed his eyes and began casting the curse. Pouring all the malice in his heart out into the curse, he made sure to embed the curse deep into the king's soul.
"Marquis, are you still awake?" Right as he was done with the caste, a feminine voice called out from the other side of the room's door.
'Shit! I need to hide.' Hiding in the shadows just seconds before the door was flung open, Haruki watched as Athena walked into the room. 'Is that the queen? I mean who else would visit the king so late in the night?'
Dressed in a baggy white nightgown, the queen walked up to the king's bed and stood there silently for a moment. After a moment of watching over the king, however, she leaned over to her sleeping husband and whispered.
"I hope you die…" Her words shocked Haruki but what followed next helped clear things up a little. "So I or my daughter can take over and fulfill that promise you made but never even tried to fulfill."
'A promise, huh? I guess I can use that to make the king suffer some more before his death.' Sneaking under the queen's dress, Haruki coiled up on her legs as the dress's shadow until he reached the black thong she was wearing underneath. 'I was gonna take over the queen and daughter anyways so this aligns perfectly well with my plans.'
With the court hearing scheduled for tomorrow, Haruki only had one night to set everything in place, and the queen's arrival in the room was a definite chance that he couldn't afford to miss. Attaching himself to the queen's fleshy ass, Haruki took the form of the thong's shadow so he wouldn't have to sneak around her anymore.
'Still, I never thought a king could have a demi-cat as a queen.' feeling her long tail teasingly brush him under the dress, Haruki couldn't help but feel a strange thrill taking over him. Sticking so close to her skin, he could almost taste the folds of her pussy hidden behind the thin fabric of her underwear. Even the smell of her sweat was so intoxicating, he wanted to turn back into his demonic form and lick her skin all over, despite the disastrous consequences that may follow.
"I can't kill you myself, but you deserve every agony under the skies," standing back up straight, the queen winced at the sight of the dozing king. "I've kept my lips shut despite witnessing every crime you've done under the pretense of good, but I hope that will end in a few nights' time."
Baffled by the queen's words, Haruki wanted to know exactly what she meant. However, to do so, he would require her to be under his charm, but taking that risk in the king's room wasn't really an option. So as the queen turned around and made her way towards her daughter's room, Haruki being crushed under her bouncing ass, decided to uncover that mystery while also turning the queen into his servant.
'Our plans don't seem all that different, perhaps us helping each other was bound to happen.' Since the queen also wanted to kill the king, working towards that end together was an extremely valid option.
Exiting the king's room after that small monologue, the queen made her way through the corridors to get back to her daughter. Upon getting there, she noticed Alice sitting on the bed glaring right in her direction with a deep scowling frown.
"Where were you?" She asked.
"I wanted to talk to your father," moving further into the room, the queen replied. "But he was sleeping, so I couldn't."
Moving to the side of her daughter's bed, Athena tried to climb onto the bed. Grabbing her arm, Alice stopped her mother from trying to ignore the topic.
"You went to him in the night? After what he did to you just a few nights before?" Shaking her hand off of Alice's grasp, the queen laid down on the bed.
"Alice, you're too young, maybe you'll understand one day when you have kids of your own," resting her head on the pillow, the queen closed her eyes to fall asleep.
Laying down beside her mother, Alice stuck out her tongue and began licking Athena's face. Much like a cat, they were both intrinsically nocturnal and spent most of their time napping and cleaning themselves off by licking their bodies. Despite that, Athena grabbed Alice by her shoulder and pulled her into an embrace instead.
"Let's just sleep for now," deeply guilted by her thoughts about the king, Athena didn't want to discuss the matter in case she began sobbing.
'I'm sorry…I'm sorry, that you'll lose your father soon.' Her hands gripped tightly around her daughter's nightdress, Athena kept her eyes shut tight as she pushed Alice deep into her bosom.
Comforted by her mother's warmth, a wave of calm took over the young demi-girl, and before she could realize her eyes grew heavy and she fell into slumber. Following her right after, Athena submitted herself to sleep.
'Now's my chance.' Having heard everything so far, Haruki pulled himself out of the shadows and stood tall beside the bed. 'It's been a while since I've used this ability. Let's see if it's still useful.'
Holding his hand over the queen, Haruki gathered up the required mana.
"Alluring nightmare," using the same abilities as he'd once used on Margarette, he forced himself inside Athena's dreams. However, this time instead of just pure sexual torture, he wanted to unfold the mystery behind the queen's words while also making her bounce on his rock-hard penis.
