A Serpent's Tale

Chapter 408: My New Place (2/2)

My eyes beamed as I rushed over to them immediately to greet them all here. And thankfully I had asked for the gate to be left unlocked so I opened it and was greeted with a hug from Asty.

"Big sis Tora!" She shouted excitedly.

I laughed in bemusement, "Haha, you seem to have had a good day. Where’d you go to make you so excited?"

"Hehe, we were given a tour by one of the Emberin Ladies. It was uh, the Justice one! She was really nice and told us a lot about what she does and how she dealt with the evil people!"

"Really?" I asked in surprise, but looking back at Ash, I saw her give me a wry smile, meaning that it was just a sweetened version of reality made to not poison Asty’s, for the most part, innocent mind. "That’s wonderful. What else did you do today? Or was that all?"

I continued asking as I too her and guided them all indoor as the Sect representatives said their goodbye’s and left.

Asty gushed her experience out, about how marvellous the architecture of the Sect palace was to the sheer size of the place and how surprisingly empty it was despite that. Everyone else seemed content to simply follow behind us as Asty let her heart out to me.

When we reached the front door to my new home though, I stopped just before we came in and turned to them.

"Everyone," I grabbed the hand and swung the door open, "I welcome you to your new home."

Immediately, the light gushed out and onto their faces from the lanterns that had just been lit by the new servants.

Everyone’s faces, except for Lily’s, lit up bot figuratively and literally from the light shining upon them as they gazed at the entrance hall. Even Shirayaa, who looked just as gloomy and depressed as she did this morning, was now looking a bit more positive at the splendour of the manor.

I mean, it wasn’t anywhere near as lavishly furnished or decorated as the Sect Palace, but still, it was my home, and it had a charm that came from its simplicity.

They all slid inside and I closed the door behind them, letting them appreciate both the simplistic design, and the fact that they now lived here as my guests.

I then slithered in front of them and spoke with a charming smile, "I hope you all will like it here. You want a tour, or should we do that tomorrow maybe after getting some food? My treat."

The four of them stared at me for a few seconds before they all collectively shook their heads. ’Okay... Wasn’t expecting that.’

"Thanks for the offer, but we were fed quite well before we came here, so we don’t really feel like eating more for now." Ash rejected with an apologetic smile as she scratched the back of her head.

"Ah, that’s fine." I was a little sad I couldn’t spend time with them, but then had an idea that would fix that, "How about a tour instead? That way I can both show you around the place a little whilst also taking you to your rooms."

"Ooh! I want!" Asty shouted excitedly with a huge smile on her face as her eyes glittered either from her anticipation or the lanterns. Or both, doesn’t really matter.

I laughed joyously as I ushered them to follow me, "Alright then, follow me. I’ll only be showing you parts of the first and second floors today. We can do the rest tomorrow."

"Okay!" Asty grabbed my hand and I started the little tour.

And of course I started with the room we were in. "This here, as you can probably guess, is the entrance hall. To the left heads towards the study and the lounge area, to the right is the kitchen, some bathrooms and the servant’s quarters."

"And in front of us, you have the ramp to the first floor, splitting halfway up to head to the left or the right." I finally started to head up the ramp and headed to the left side.

When we went down the left hall and I showed them the many studies that could be considered to be on the backside of the manor, and another nice and large lounge in the extended area, with another small kitchen beside it.

Then heading to the other side, we passed over the entrance balcony on the front half of the building, while I explained that there was a room to play games in on the other side where the ramp was.

The rooms on the right side of the first floor, were rather simple, some bathrooms and extra bedrooms, including both guest rooms and rooms for other family members. Each of them was kitted out with a bed, a wardrobe builds into the wall, a desk and a couple of sofas to sit on.

I waited as they all then inspected the rooms to decide who would stay in which room. Which only really meant two of the rooms would be in use. There were a total of six rooms for the more permanent residents, meaning four would be left since it would be Ash and Asty in one and Shirayaa in another. Lily would of course be spending the night with me.

After they had decided who’s rooms are who’s, I took them up to the second floor, which honestly didn’t have much indoors, with my master bedroom with an on-suite bathroom and a personal study for the master of the house. Or mistress in this case.

Aside from what was essentially my own personal miniature residence on the top floor, there was the on-roof balcony, which was the main reason that I had brought them all up here to this floor.

It gave a nice view of the city and the stars above that had appeared now that the sun had set in the east. And for a few minutes, I just let everyone marvel at the sight.

From the bustling city lights, to the shimmering stars in that black expanse of space, we all just leaned on the railings at the edge of the roof.

I personally looked down and let the feeling of the fact that this place was now well and truly mine sink in.

I saw the quaint little garden that I now owned, with small wells of water in strategic places to keep the flora alive whilst also making sure to also blend in to make it all look uniform. I saw the little section of red-tiled roof going round the edge of the balcony, which was mainly there purely for aesthetic purposes. It didn’t really serve much of a purpose other than that.

After a while, Shirayaa left to go to sleep, leaving the rest of us still gazing out at the expanse. Then, Ash and Asty left too to retire to their new chosen room for the night.

And a short while after that, I dragged Lily into my room and onto the bed as we sloppily made out with one another and had euphoric sex for the night before finally falling asleep.

The next morning, I awoke in a bed soaked in mine and Lily’s sexual fluids, which I then promptly sucked up via [Life Absorption], gaining some [Experience] for the first time in a while.

[Ding!]

I then sat up and stretched my arms up above my head and arched my back, pushing my chest out. This caused the sleeping succubus next to me to instinctively reach out and latch a hand onto my breast.

I chuckled lightly at her unconscious minds’ actions and how her nature as a succubus made her do things that were innately sexual in nature.

Still, I had to get up, as I had to give a tour of the rest of the house among many other things that I’ve been meaning to get around to. Getting out of bed I headed into the bathroom and washed myself before taking a quite rest in the bath for a few minutes before getting out.

I dried myself off with some fire magic and brushed my hair a bit, not making it completely straight, just enough to make it so that it didn’t frizzle up and get in my face for the day.

After that I felt like putting some clothes on and went to the wardrobe and noticed it was empty.

’Right, I literally just got here yesterday, I haven’t unpacked anything at all. Well, I can do that later.’

After that, I pulled out one of the few normal gowns that I had in my storage and tied it up, which covered the front of my breasts but did nothing for my cleavage. My twin dicks were also visibly bulging beneath the fabric.

I shrugged and just headed out, leaving Lily asleep in my room like yesterday to give a tour to the rest of the manor.
