Chapter 796 Chapter 795: Quick Chat
Anput had already begun to walk away, the Jackalkin giving us some space as she went to go help the Demons gather whatever was leftover to take back towards the camp, which wasn't a lot, but...
When the Fiend had died, so too had the remaining Cultists on the walls above, and they were currently black, charred corpses with half melted armor and weapons, but those things were still able to be recycled into something new, and they would provide some more clues onto the average strength of the Cult through the materials used; it all looked to be the same kind of silver alloy, after all, so we could learn quite a bit through just the metal itself.
But... that wasn't something I was thinking about currently; what I was thinking about was the blue skinned Demoness who was staring down at me with a patient gaze, her amethyst eyes locked to mine as she waited for me to answer her question.
A question that I HAD to answer, but one that didn't truly have an answer... not a logical one, anyways.
"I... I don't know."
"Kat..."
Leaning down, Jahi caressed my cheek before forcing me to look at her, the Demoness staring me in the eyes as she repeated "What is making you feel so envious, my love? Tell me."
I couldn't help but lean into her touch as she continued to run her thumb across my cheek, the warmth from her hand pairing with the sweet scent to soothe me some more, heating me back up after that sudden loss of power from the crest.
My body began to warm up slowly, causing Jahi to smirk at me softly as she tutted her tongue and shook her head, teasing me somewhat.
"I... I didn't like... that you were looking at Satanya, praising her for doing something that I knew I could do as well! Something I could do better! I don't know why it's irked me, but..."
Chuckling, Jahi patted my cheek as she asked "Well, she has been the first real 'threat' to your claim on me, hasn't she? One that wasn't someone you liked - Anput or Leone - and someone that you can't completely and utterly say you are certain I wouldn't be interested in?"
My gaze sharpened at that last bit, making her grin at me as she leaned closer and whispered "The truth is, if I didn't have three gorgeous, perfect, crazy, lovable wives already, or they didn't have such a deep grasp on my heart, I wouldn't hate the idea of courting her. That is the truth... IF I didn't have the three of you. Yes, she's beautiful, she's a Demoness, she's fun to compete against, and she's probably great in bed, but..."
Ignoring the glare I sent her way - that previous warmth giving way to a frigid anger that wanted to crystalize into a dagger to stab her with - Jahi continued to speak, stroking my cheek still even as she took note of my current expression.
"She is all those things, but I have you. I have Anput, and I have Leone. Even one of you is more than enough to have capitalized my love, but all three of you? Why would I ever have a need to look for someone else? Same goes for Anput and Leone. They could have been in 'my position' for their own harems, and yet here they are, with me. MY wives. Not the heads of their own families, but apart of MY family. Just like you are. So don't worry about us, Kat. If anything, the one you should be the most wary with is that Arch Fiend of yours. I mean, she IS lust incarnate, is she not~?"
I blinked, before I began to say "That's different! She's bou-!" only to be cut off as Jahi placed a kiss on my lips, quieting me down with a deep, hungry kiss that made it hard for me to think, only to pull away and say "It's the same. You have such a beautiful woman following you around all the time? Do you think we didn't worry at first that you might be tempted? We were, but we decided that this decision of yours was made with things like that in mind. We trust that you won't do anything with her, because we know what you're like, Kat."
Swallowing down my rebuttal - and the remnants of her saliva - I stared at her for a few moments more before swatting her arm as she added "Really, isn't this supposed to be you in our relationship? The logical, assured, mature woman who thinks everything through and provides answer~? What happened to her, hmm~?"
Moving her hand from my face to my waist, Jahi began to sway side to side with me, sharing a smile after I eventually stopped frowning at her, instead enjoying the way she reassured me and didn't say anything unkind or accusatory in response to my... 'worries'.
No argument or accusations, just a logical direction in this dialogue between us, which usually came from me as I overlooked these three, and yet...
Ignoring the way her hand 'slipped' like it always did, I leaned my head against her chest and just enjoyed her warmth, only for the two of us to stop as we heard someone coughing nearby.
"You two done? We should probably go question little miss Foxkin back at camp, and... go over everything."
Satanya stared at us with a cool stare, her crimson eyes neutral as she watched Jahi hold me even tighter, like the muscular Demoness was slightly worried I would regress on our understanding and begin hissing at the other Demoness.
"And... I think you won that one, Jahi. You can ask anything~ of me at all... Any. One. Thing~!"
Sadly for her, she forgot that we were dealing with someone who would go out of their way to sow discord simply because it was amusing, and considering the grin on Satanya's face as she leaned down and showed some cleavage to Jahi, well...
Yeah, I had to be restrained a little, lest I stab her and pull out her sternum.
