Chapter 74
Kanae and Renya were touring the corridors of the new church while the latter's crew carried furniture, equipment, and belongings in as though moving houses. Rough-looking folks covered in tattoos, their sleeves ripped at the shoulders, and bandanas worn everywhere else but the heads, looked out of place in this holy place of worship. They swept the halls and put vases in place to make it appear lived-in, like a real church in service.
"This place is amazing!" Arenade exclaimed, racing down the corridor to them and sidestepping to narrowly avoid running into someone. "There's even a bathhouse downstairs. Not as grand as Dreizel's, but once we get the pipes cleared and water running, we'll be able to bathe as much as we want. I'm going to get working on that!"
Without wasting another second, the former demigoddess took off in the direction of the baths.
Renya opened the door into a dormitory of sorts, with recently furnished beds lining up and down the room like a barracks.
"Don't tell me you're expecting us to live here?" Kanae asked, gazing around the modest room.
"Not you, no. Running a place like this will require more hands than the few you have. Employ it at your leisure." Renya winked.
A few ideas and people came to mind. They would need more clergy. Nuns and disciples. People who would spread the teachings of the Eminence of Sin. They already had Lilith, who pledged to them before the fire. Hopefully she and the others come to consciousness just fine.
Renya sat down on a bed at random, shedding her cloak and tricorn hat by the time her butt hit the cushions. There were slight bags under her eyes that hadn't been there before. A surprise, coming from the carefree pirate lord. At the same time, maybe it wasn't a surprise given what happened.
"I haven't gotten a chance to offer my condolences. I'm sorry about your father passing away," Kanae said.
"Oh, that? Pay my family matters no mind! You have plenty to worry about yourself. His passing is regrettable, but Rown shall endure." Renya's usual gusto was missing, but she was good at masking it behind that energetic demeanor.
"Even so, you've done a lot for me and my friends. If you ever need help or just someone to talk to, I'm here." She sat on the bed adjacent to Renya and faced her.
The dark elf dragged her tongue across her upper teeth and made a sharp sucking sound.
"Would you mind control my siblings to stand down and pass the seat of chairman to me?" Renya calmly asked.
"Yes," Kanae answered without hesitation. "We're business partners, and I'm a succubus after all."
One corner of Renya's lips curled into a smirk.
"You were my best gamble yet," Renya said.
"Did you want to conduct another business deal for this?" Kanae asked, rising from the bed and letting the illusion of her human form drop to reveal the succubus features.
Renya began unbuttoning her shirt.
"Prison has gotten me so pent-up with frustration. I'm not sure if I'm in my right mind to conduct negotiations."
"That's too bad for you. Because for me, it just means I have the upper hand." Kanae leapt at Renya and ripped her shirt off the rest of the way.
Renya grabbed the back of Kanae's head, nails digging into her scalp, to pull her in for a kiss. The two rolled around in whoever's poor bed this was going to be, tearing off the other's clothing to get themselves bare naked.
As the last pieces of fabric fell to the floor, Kanae plunged her tail into Renya's sopping wet pussy. The squishing sound it made going in told her the dark elf was waiting for it.
"Ahh!" Renya's hips upwards, unwittingly forcing the tail deeper. "You're still maybe half my level, yet you act as if I'm the subordinate."
"How else I'm I going to show how strong I've gotten? If you take control of Rown Company, one of the biggest companies in the world, then I want a piece of that pie." Kanae sat up and pinched Renya's nipples hard.
"Mmmm! Fuck me! A stake in Rown is out of the question— Think of something else!" she cried, arching her back from the pleasure.
All that capital would be just what Kanae and her party needed, but it didn't sound like Renya was eager to share.
Renya suddenly sat up and created out of magic a minotaur-shaped dildo the size of her arm. It started to move on its own, brandishing itself menacingly as though it were a weapon.
"Uhh… How are you doing that?" Kanae asked, immeasurably intrigued and turned on.
"Did you think swords and bullets are all I can create as a spellsword?" Renya chuckled.
A hard shove from Renya knocked Kanae to her back. She watched as the magic minotaur dick laid itself on top of her body from navel to collar bones. The veins, thickness, and warmth as if blood flowed through it, Kanae felt it all. It snaked down between their hips, but the tip was poised to strike only one of them.
One powerful thrust knocked the wind out of Kanae's lungs, causing her to suck in a deep breath and clench the sheets to endure against how full it filled her.
"Mmh… Too bad for you, a minotaur dick isn't my first rodeo." Kanae sighed blissfully, savoring the enormous cock grinding in and out of her. "If I can't— aahh… get a cut, then what about… expanded access with your shipping to get my merchandise across the continent to other cities? Also 10%"
"And operate at a loss? No thanks!" Renya exclaimed.
"If you're going to be so difficult…"
Kanae attempted to Bond with Renya, but there was incredible resistance like hitting a brick wall. The elf raised both brows curiously, likely feeling the invading attempt into her mind. To Kanae's surprise, Renya let her in.
The two of them bonded, forming an emotional connection that was unlike anything Kanae felt before. So much lust and fire. Behind the inferno, buried underneath impassioned flames and ashes, she sensed a deep-seeded hatred for a name.
Rown.
Kanae returned to her senses with a mouthful of Renya's tongue and the minotaur dick pounding more ferociously than before.
However, since Bond was active between them now, it gave Kanae an overwhelming advantage. While they swapped spit and explored each other's throats, Kanae gazed deeply into Renya's eyes.
"Turn… Horny…" Kanae uttered between breaks in their makeout session.
"By the three hells… what is this… spell? It's making me… cum repeatedly— aahhhh!" Coupled with Bond, Renya threw her head back in ecstasy and let loose a frenzied howl.
Kanae forcibly brought her to a climax, then continued riding the minotaur dick to an orgasm herself. Exhausted, she dropped onto the bed to lie down next to Renya.
"Fine… Very well… You shall have your merchandise transported as per your wish. I was going to… give it to you anyway regardless." Renya grinned.
"If you just wanted to have sex, you could have just said so." Kanae rolled her eyes.
"About that skill you used on me. Not Turn Horny, but the one before it. What you felt inside me, I—"
Someone knocked at the door in panic.
Kanae transformed back to human form just as the door opened. One of Renya's crew members, a grizzly beast of a man, stumbled in. He shielded his eyes upon seeing them.
"You interrupted my favorite part of sex— pillow talk! This better be good." Renya growled.
"Sorry, Captain! There's, uh… a large gathering of people outside the church. Should we turn them away?" he asked.
The two of them quickly got dressed, Kanae in the skimpy clerical robe, and Renya in the same thing.
"You're wearing it, too?" Kanae asked, eyeing how well it suited the dark elf.
"As opposed to wearing my very recognizable coat and hat? Can't have people knowing you're associated with the loon who raided the cathedral. Besides, my ass looks great in this," Renya said.
They met up with Arenade in the hall, whose hair was still moist from the bath.
"What's everyone riled up about?" Arenade asked, then regarded Renya with a lack of recognition. "And who's the broad?"
"The disguise works!" Renya simled.
"It's Renya, and we're about to go find out. Why aren't you in uniform?" Kanae asked.
She clutched herself and shuddered. "Th-That slutty thing doesn't agree with my skin. Gives me rashes, you know? C-Come on… You're seriously going to make me wear that again…?"
Kanae placed a charm on Arenade to go and do just that. Once she got changed, they made their way to the antechamber and were already hearing the mumblings of a crowd outside. The three of them were stunned, emerging from the church to hundreds of dewy-eyed devotees at the bottom of the steps.
"It's the priestesses!"
"Thank the gods you're okay!"
"We heard what happened to the church!"
"We're here to support you!"
Their cries of support touched Kanae. In more ways than one.
"Priestess!" a man hollered to her. "Remember me? I took your advice to try swapping! Now we're going to a swinger's club to get my wife into group play!"
"Priestess, I listened to the squirreling nun to gamble at a casino and struck gold! My debts are finally paid off! Please let me donate the rest to your church!"
"I broke my three-year sobriety streak last night and had the best time of my life!"
Kanae shot Arenade a glare from the last comment.
"Some people need catharsis drinking from the bottle, not bottling emotions in!" Arenade protested in defense of alcoholism.
"We need to have a nice long talk about you and wine. Until then…" Kanae walked to the edge of the topmost step to face the followers of the Eminence of Sin.
None of them expected this thing to grow so out of hand, but having seen so many people uplifted from just a different perspective, more free to pursue their desires, it was hard to leave it alone. Now it was Kanae's responsibility to nurture it, because casting it aside would be just as thoughtless as casting Teana aside.
"It makes me proud that so many people have come out in support of us. As you can see, the Eminence of Sin doesn't fall so easily. Like a phoenix, we've risen from the ashes of our old church to a greater one. Stronger, more resilient!" Kanae exclaimed to the bellowing cheers of her devotees.
She smiled, bathing in their roaring acclamation. This was power. To control people without even charming them, and as a succubus, Kanae wielded charisma as easily as seductive magic. Their adoration served as proof of that.
An impassioned mass could just as easily be used as a weapon. Then as a succubus and leader, it was only natural to turn that weapon toward her enemies.
Kanae continued. "The attack yesterday was carried out by a soulless organization. You may know them as the Outriders. That criminal syndicate has no place in Lograin. It's an open secret that not many people talk about, but they run the brothel and casino known as Jewel."
"Kanae," Renya muttered from behind. "I don't think that's a good idea—"
"Screw the Outriders!"
"I have a cousin whose daughter was kidnapped by those bastards!"
"We should burn that place down and give them a taste of their own medicine!"
The crowds became a mob of irrational wrath in the span of seconds.
Incredible, Kanae thought. Words alone managed to rouse them into action. If left to their own devices, they might even set fire to Jewel.
A gentle touch snatched Kanae by the hand.
"I'm just as angry as you are, but if we resort to violence… You're better than this," Arenade pleaded to her.
"You're right." Kanae sighed and squeezed her hand. She then turned back to the audience. "But we can't give in to spurious hate, or we would become just like them. Without hurting anyone or anything, we just need to show them that we want nothing to do with Outriders! Take to the streets and demand the Outriders out of Lograin!"
At least two-thirds of the masses marched towards the Carnal District with glee and fervor. The remaining devotees either hung around to enter the church or dispersed.
"Now what are you planning to achieve by doing that?" Renya asked, appearing amused and impressed by what just happened.
"Jewel occupies a prime location in the Carnal District, and it's a really nice building. I want to kick them out and take it for myself," Kanae said.
"By the Supreme One's hairy ass, that's what you're trying to do?" Arenade's jaw dropped.
Renya's eyes snapped open. She took a few steps off to the side and casted a sidelong glance around the enormous plaza, home to some of the largest religious buildings in this city.
"You understand that by doing this, you will be declaring war on Bardell and the Outriders, and consequently the Order of the Knights of Color?"
"They threw the first stone back in Orturic, so this war has been a long time coming. If it's a war he wants, then I'm going to give it to him. Starting with his primary source of income in Lograin," Kanae said.
"Hah!" Renya erupted into laughter to the point of trembling. "I intended to leave before Bardell arrived, but this is shaping up to be much more exciting. Very well! I shall lay all my chips on you, my dear succubus."
Kanae returned to the adventurer's hall with Arenade. In the meantime, Renya had preparations to make, expecting a full blown fight to inevitably break out in Lograin.
When they got back to their room, Teana slammed into Kanae.
"Mama's home!"
"Teana?!" Kanae cried, holding her tightly and smothering her with kisses. "You're okay? Thank goodness!"
"Was a bitch and a half, keeping the munchkin from flying after you." Edina sighed, throwing herself flat onto the couch.
"They woke up a little while ago," Will said from a seat at the table, gesturing to the other conscious addition to the party.
Lilith, the red-headed woman, quickly stood up and bowed.
"Where's Thedia?" Kanae asked.
"To find Renya as soon as she woke up," Edina answered.
Damn. Kanae wanted to ask Thedia what happened back at the church. There was still Lilith she could question, but…
The woman was throwing skittish glances at Teana.
"Teana is exactly what you think she is— a succubus," Kanae confirmed. "If you want to enter into the service of the Eminence of Sin, then I should offer full disclosure."
When Kanae returned to succubus form, Lilith gasped so hard she must have swallowed her own tongue.
"S-Succubus…" Lilith uttered.
"That's right. Whether you believe me or not, I'm not with the demons. Just myself. All we want is to live peacefully. If this is too much for you to take in, then—"
"It isn't!" she exclaimed passionately. "You're everything I thought you were and more… Please, let me serve you dutifully, M-M-Mistress…"
"Before I accept you, I need to make sure about something. Are you associated with the Outriders? Why was the door to the nursery barricaded?" Kanae asked, charming the woman under her control.
Lilith tensed up. A small part of her mind that still belonged to her drew a smile as though in ecstasy over being charmed.
"I am… not with the Outriders. We barricaded the door because a group of thugs barged in and kicked the parishioners out. We had no idea they set fire outside until it was too late," Lilith explained.
Kanae broke the charm and returned Lilith's mind to her own.
"Sorry about that, Lilith. I can't be too careful, but at least I know we can trust you now. Since you're genuinely interested, head to the new church at the religious ward and wait for me in our uniform. You can start as soon as I initiate you." Kanae broke the charm to return Lilith's mind to her own, then brought a hand underneath her chin to gently raise her gaze.
"As you wish… Mistress," Lilith breathed excitement into each word.
