Chapter 48: Zenith's Past.
Uh-Arrgh!
"Where am I? *Ugh!* My neck hurts."
Paul opened his eyes after losing his consciousness in the duel with Arther.
He found himself in his room and…
"Paul-san, I told you not to participate in the duel, didn't I? You just don't listen to me." In front of him, Elinalise stood and spoke in a soft tone.
"How am I here?" He asked.
"Oh! My lord, Arther, carried you here using magic." Elinalise replied.
"How much time has passed, and where is everyone else?"
"About that..." Elinalise seemed hesitant.
"About that? What?" Paul impatiently questioned her.
"Its night right now; half a day has passed. As for the others, they are hearing stories from my lord." Elinalise explained.
"I see. So I lost, and they didn't even care to stay by my side. Fuck!" Paul cursed.
Here, 'they' were obviously Lilia and Zenith. Paul appeared to be rather dissatisfied with them.
'Still the same as ever, hehehe~' Elinalise thought as she laughed evilly inside her mind.
Paul was still the same conceited moron who only used his lower brain when thinking, not his upper one.
'I can use him to get both Zenith and Lilia as slaves for my lord. After all, only his dick is meant to plough the finest of pussies.'
Her mind wandered to seeing both Zenith and Lilia moaning under Arther's cock along with her, Ghislaine and Hilda.
'I wonder if we can have an orgy! That will be fun.' As she pictured an orgy of several milfs with Arther, she couldn't help but feel moist inside her pussy.
'But first…'
She pressed her legs together to control her flowing cunt before looking at Paul and saying in a sultry tone, "I know, Paul. How do you feel?"
She slowly placed her hands in Paul's bare chest and traced a circle with her finger as she continued, "Zenith has forgotten you after meeting with Arther, it seems. But fear not."
She finished drawing the circle and then withdrew her finger, placing it precisely in the centre. She then leaned up close to Paul's ear and said quietly, "I am here!"
GULP!
Paul felt his body heat up all over and swallowed. He was not getting to fuck Zenith these days since Rudeus would constantly cut them off, leaving him feeling let down.
Furthermore, Paul felt even more abandoned because everyone's attention was on Arther after he arrived.
Not only that, he had seen the traces of ARTHER tattoo in the lower abdomen of both Ghislaine and Elinalise, making him jealous of his nephew, who was enjoying the two beauties so openly.
So, when Elinalise approached him like this, it was as if he had been given an invitation to pursue her. He couldn't control himself anymore and was about to place his hands on her breasts, but…
"Oh! It seems Uncle Paul has awakened!"
He was stopped by Arther's voice, who had just entered the room, leaving Paul in an awkward position.
Fufufu~
"My Lord…"
Seeing Arther enter the room, Elinalise hugged him and buried his face in her modest boobs before looking back at Paul with a reassuring but sly smile.
"What was there for?"
Arther removed himself from her breasts and asked.
"Nothing; I just wanted to feel your touch." Elinalise replied.
Sigh!
"What will I do about you?" Arther sighed upon hearing her.
Smooch~
He pulled her into a kiss, uncaring of the staring Paul, who was left stunned.
"Alright! That should be enough for now. Let's go; Ghislaine has called you for a bath."
"Okay~"
Elinalise acknowledged and left.
Arther shifted his focus to Paul and said, "I hope you don't mind that I am sure you know about her curse."
"Y-Yeah, no problem." Paul replied awkwardly.
"I appreciate it. Now, let's go down and have dinner."
"S-Sure."
Meanwhile, back to Elinalise.
Right now, she was scrubbing her arms very hard with soap, like she was trying to get rid of all traces of Paul.
'Only my Lord has right over my body. I can't sully it with filth.' She thought seriously.
The next few days went by in Paul's household.
In these two days, Paul has been constantly tempted, but every time he tried to do something, he was interrupted, causing him to feel frustrated to no end.
Meanwhile, Arther used this opportunity to get closer to both Zenith and Lilia.
He engaged with both of them and learned about their journeys and stories.
He discovered that Zenith had fled her family and was left feeling depressed. She fled because she didn't want to be saddled with her family's obligations as a possible heir.
She told him how, in the early days of her solo Adventurer days, she had been duped several times because she didn't understand the significance of healers.
She also told him about the several occasions she was used as a human shield before Paul's party, the Fangs of Black Wolf, came to her aid.
Ghislaine joined the discussion and gave an explanation of how the party came to be as well as how they first got to know Zenith.
"So which family do you belong to? I know quite a few prominent people in Millis; maybe I can get them to accept you back." Arther asked.
"Arther-kun, you don't have to." Zenith hesitated.
"It's fine, just tell me."
Sigh!
"It's the Lataria family." She answered meekly.
She was without hope, as she was aware of the Latarias' prominence in Millis and the fact that they detested the Grayrats in her presence. She therefore had no faith that she would be able to return.
Hmm.
"I see, it's Latarias. I will talk to them personally then. It would be better than writing a letter to them."
"I know, don't worry; I wasn't hoping... *Ah!* Wait!
What did you say, Arther-kun? You know them?" Zenith was flabbergasted.
"Of course I do," Arther answered.
"He saved their family from a Labyrinth outbreak. If not for him there wouldn't be any Lataria left in the world."
'And had a steamy night with your mother, Claire, and your sister, Theresa.'
Arther remembered the one nightstand he had with Zenith's mother and sister, though at that time he didn't know about them being her family members.
He still remembered the tight pussy of that Gilf.
'Good thing that her husband died in the outbreak. Now I get to enjoy three generations of women. Zenith, her mother, and her future daughter. Kekeke~' Arther thought villainously.
Zenith was shocked to hear about it and thanked Arther for saving them.
Alas!
Arther had no interest in telling her about her father.
"No need to thank me. I didn't even know them, and there were a lot of people that I couldn't save, so really, there is no need."
"You are really a good person, Arther-kun." Zenith said with a smile.
He also talked with Lilia alone about her life since he knew her as a former guard of the Asura king's concubine, but more about that some other time.
Overall, he made a strong and trustful bond with both the milfs in Paul's house.
-----
The day Zenith took him to the village.
Paul, who felt neglected and unable to touch Elinalise, saw it as the ideal chance to vent his frustration.
It was already evening, and both Ghislaine and Elinalise had returned from their routine practice.
Lilia was taking care of the little Rudeus, and Ghislaine was taking a bath.
Paul just returned home after clearing the monsters near the village and entered his room, only to find Elinalise there.
Elinalise neared Paul before he could say anything and said in a sultry tone, "No one is here today. We can…"
The moment she said that, Paul jumped upon her.
Fufu~
She swiftly moved, evaded him and laughed, "Not so easy, tiger. You have to work hard to get your meal."
Paul dick hardened at Elinalise's choice of words as he swiftly moved to grab a hold of her.
Elinalise continued to evade his approach again and again, leaving him impatient until finally…
Thud!
He jumped onto Elinalise from behind and fell above her, completely locking her beneath him.
In his haste and excitement, he didn't realise that they were right in front of the entrance of the house.
Click!
It was at this moment that the door opened, and Zenith came inside as she screamed, looking at how Paul had interlocked Elinalise.
She saw the expression of agony in Elinalise's face as she was forced into this position and desperation in Paul's, as if he just wanted to force himself on Elinalise.
Her scream shocked the others in the house as they came and witnessed the scene.
'Pauloyo, you screwed up big time.' Rudeus cradled in Lilia's hands, looked at them, and sighed.
"What the fuck is going on here, Lise?" Arther behind Zenith shouted in anger, bringing her out of her trance.
Zenith felt as if she had lost her soul, while Lilia was pale at seeing Paul commit such an act.
"I-I…"
"It was my fault."
Elinalise tried to say something, but how could the manly Paul let her do that and destroy her dignity? So he took the blame on himself.
Seeing this, Elinalise thought, 'Got you!' An evil smile appeared on her face before quickly residing.
She tried to get up and pushed Paul before getting up and running away from the house. She locked her eyes with Arther and hinted that the job was done, and she left.
To that, Arther only nodded and looked back at Paul, taking a deep breath.
Phew!
He spoke, "Uncle, we need an explanation here."
He looked at everyone present here before resting his gaze on Zenith as he supported her by placing his hands on her waist and making her sit down.
He clamly looked at her and said, "Everything will be alright. Don't worry. I am here!"
Zenith just nodded as tears fell out of her eyes.
Everyone looked at Paul as if they were demanding an explanation.
"I-I got tempted."
