Chapter 223 42: Juniper And Shirone Come To Play.
Raven and his knights returned to the citadel and began to decorate the solemn throne with various tables and filled them with their favourite snacks and food.
The man stood in the huge kitchen with several servants as they began cooking evening meals and meats. He didn't wear his lord equipment but a chef outfit, just like the others, no matter how much they protested.
He wanted to reward his knights who fought even when he didn't ask or order them, with the biggest stars being Adam, Gale and Juniper.
"Good. Keep the heat mild to let the juices and flavours seep into the meat and broth."
"Don't turn the pan yet! It'll ruin the flavour and fish."
Although they had ordered food from Ober, Juniper requested him to cook the main foods as she knew how well he could cook from her times stalking-observing him.
Adam was helping prepare vegetables and desserts, his cheeks blushing as Raven praised his work; Gale was preparing the drinks, beer, soda, and juice, while Nu'bella helped clean the dishes.
As for the others, they were all sitting on the huge table and eating snacks, with Shirone sitting across two chairs with a lazy look.
Three hours later.
It was quite a long time, with different meals, ingredients not being cooked right, and Raven scolding them for play fighting with kitchen knives.
But they eventually go there as a huge feast is lined up.
Juniper and Nu'bella sat close to Raven, hugging his arms and rubbing their breasts on him, while Zeon was jealous and demanded he give her head pats.
Shirone, eating ice cream with a happy expression, sat two seats away while Gale and the others sat around the table in their normal spots.
"Hahaha, so much booze and wine... my god! It's all expensive stuff, too!" Shirone was excited with Persha already drinking from a large bottle of cherry blossom imported sake.
"Oooh! Persha is chugging it down! Four hundred credits gone in seconds!"
"Gepu~ sorry... it was so delicious, my lord." She winked and let her outfit slip down her shoulders, causing Raven just to chuckle, turning away and looking at everyone.
"No worries, the stuff is here to be eaten and drank. Don't apologise, and just enjoy yourselves."
He knew this was nothing, and most other lords wouldn't even care about a minor victory, but Raven was happy. He felt something akin to the family when interacting with these knights more; even if it were Adam or Gale who got injured, he might go berserk.
Persha smiled happily, her cheeks rosy, "Thank you, Lord Raven... hey, Gale, wanna drink?"
She tossed a beer bottle at the cheery Gale, who caught it, opened it with his mouth cap, then began to gulp it down, cheering loudly, "
What Raven found amazing was the lazy and passive Persha was the older sister of Gale... the battle-loving freak!
'I couldn't believe it when he told me, haha!'
Since the others seemed reluctant to eat, Raven lifted his cup, swirling the dark red wine with a golden glisten. A scent of tobacco and dark chocolate mixed with dark fruits wafted into his nostrils as his face looked delighted.
"Let's offer a toast to all who fought so hard."
Everyone raised their glasses, cups or bottles as Raven continued.
"For Persha, who guarded our rear and kept us safe; for Nu'bella, who defended the entrance without order or instruction."
lightsnοvεl.cοm "Cheers!" They clinked their glasses before Raven continued.
"For Gale and Adam, who fought fiercely and wiped out the salamanders, even when outnumbered, Gales's brutal combat and Adam's ingenious use of magic."
*Clink* *Clink* *Clank*
"Finally, for Juniper, who risked life and limb to stop our plans from falling apart, and Shirone defending Juniper from countless salamander knights and powerful reinforcements."
*Clink* *Clank*
"To my knights, thank you for fighting today; please continue to fight with me and let's make this land, this dungeon, the strongest and most glorious home to exist."
"Cheers!"
They all cried out before beginning to eat the feast; Raven laughed as Gale, Adam, Persha, Nu'bella, and Juniper all ate like pigs, their cheeks stuffed with food and faces messy, causing Shirone to blush, knowing this was her lord and they were showing such barbaric behaviour.
However, Raven smiled, liking this atmosphere, eating alongside them as Persha and Juniper rubbed their breasts on him, Nu'bella kissing his cheeks, while Shirone sneaked onto his lap and ate from his plate, licking his fork.
'Tonight... I feel so happy.'
Raven thought to himself. His eyes glazed from the wine, spirits and beer as the flames illuminating the hallways slowly faded as time reached the twilight hours.
***
He awoke as the last candles faded, the silent sound of Gale snoring while hugging Adam in a death grip, the latter seeming to be out cold with a pale face, holding a bottle of the cheapest ale.
'So Adam likes cider; what a funny guy. I thought he would be into wine...'
Raven stepped away from his throne, only to sway and nearly fall before two soft bodies wrapped each side of his arms, Shirone and Juniper with slightly red faces holding him tightly.
"Master."
"Lord... you almost fell, fufu."
They giggled cutely as Raven mumbled, "Sorry, I drank too much. Let's get some sleep."
They led him back to his royal chambers, which were now filled with purple flowers, violet roses and lavender decorating the room, filling it with a sweet fragrance, but Raven ignored it as he lay on his bed, stretching while yawning.
Shirone crawled next to him, taking off her dress, revealing her petite but large rump; Juniper transformed into her spider form and began to undress Raven and use her extra legs to clean his clothes, the mess on the ground and tidy his room.
She wasn't drunk at all because of her venom. Most alcohol was broken down inside her body, but she enjoyed the atmosphere of seeing her beloved master look so relaxed tonight.
"Sleep well, master; I will clean everything up."
Shirone kissed Raven's forehead before wrapping herself in silk blankets, her naked body pressed on Raven as Juniper finished cleaning.
"Master~ sleep well; Juniper will watch over you and make sure you don't roll off the bed and hurt yourself."
Her eight red eyes narrowed as she slipped out of her dress and returned to her half-arachne form, slipping into the other side of the bed.
Both girls were small compared to Raven, his arms able to wrap from their neck to their upper thighs with ease, his palms able to cup their asses with ease, as his big hands grasped them completely, squeezing on the soft meat of Shirone and firm rump of Juniper.
They blushed softly as Raven slept; they could feel his warm breath, causing them to shiver, as their lord's hands naturally hugged their bodies, pulling them close and causing them to feel a strange heat burning deep within them.
At first, they wanted to use this chance to sleep with him, but his powerful arms locked them in place, only allowing their bodies to endure the one-sided pleasure as his fingers moved in his sleep and teased their lower bodies.
"J-Juniper... Master is such a skilled beast... ah...."
"Fufu, this is just child... Let his finger slip inside...ha.....mm!"
Juniper moaned as Raven's index finger penetrated Juniper's lower lips, causing the spider knight to shiver, her body convulsing as his thick finger dug into her deepest spot, causing her insides to melt.
Shirone looked at the melting face of Juniper and tried to lift her hips and turn over... only for his finger to slip inside... the wrong hole... causing her buttcheeks to tense, and her eyes widen while Juniper grinned wickedly, seeing Raven finger Shirone's asshole.
"Nnngh, Ahhhh~ Master..."
"Nnn.. Mmmm, such a great night, darling."
Like this, both girls enjoyed their private party, using all the tricks possible to steal this night from them to make both Persha and Nu'bella as drunk as possible.
In the early morning hours, only the loud echoes of their song of pleasure filled the cold, quiet halls as the lords in surrounding territories heard the news that one lord had been destroyed and his dungeon absorbed.
The shock was it took less than five hours.
****
In an Unknown location.
The room was awash with elegant fixtures and fittings, luscious golden utensils and extravagant furnishings adorning the surroundings as a beautiful woman dressed in exquisite robes sipped from a silver cup, her eyes narrowed as she read the reports.
"So, Raven killed Vladimas?"
"Yes, My lady."
Two males were kneeling close to her body as she leaned back in her chair, "Dante, Zephyr. You know that this isn't a good sign."
Zephyr nodded, "My Lady, although young Raven defeated Vladimass effortlessly, he should have shown more restraint or spent months infiltrating and gathering information; he did not take advantage of his enemy's weakness."
*Clang*
The Lady placed her glass of wine on the table, the same colour and golden flicker as Raven's from earlier, as both Dread Lords seemed to cower in fear from her movements and the sheer power of her aura.
"Foolish Zephyr, it is not that I am worried about."
"It is a fact he could take down a Lord with such ease and still seems to be intent on taking down all lords in his area. He is not like Andreas, not content to remain a little Lord of Dread... He wants the same thing I do."
"To become the sovereign...."
She looked into the huge moon, bathing in the argent moonlight shining through the window, her delicate fingers tracing her ruby lips as Dante asked.
"My Lady, should we eliminate Raven immediately? We cannot allow another possible sovereign to rise!"
"We do not need to worry about that."
She laughed mysteriously, "Raven is still young, and although he has conquered a dungeon and absorbed them, he does not have the required knights to rule efficiently. Even if he destroys Andreas and becomes a Lord of dread, he will crumble internally and give us time to gather more forces."
"Lady Lucretia, you want him to become a threat before destroying him?"
"Of course, Zephyr. Raven is a young lord who loves women and fights with brute force; I want to fight him, to crush and conquer him... Such a powerful man, both in battle and in the bedroom. Wouldn't that make a great spouse for a queen? Fufu."
"!!!"
"..."
Both men's faces became ugly as they clenched their fists and bit their lips, an ugly display of male jealousy. Lucretia took no notice, instead wondering how her stupid brother became so close to Raven in less than a month.
'Brother... You truly worship him as your lord; that is no good... What about your dear sister?'
