Netori: Stealing The Hero's Party!

Chapter 836: Knowledge - The Curse Of The Unhappy

After Regalia’s return from Aranuvia, her findings were spread quickly. Nerva wished for the end of the world as she wanted to be united with her creations in the oblivion of unbeing. Had Aphrodite allowed her to be born instead of poisoning her, the goddess would’ve already been walking amongst her creations, but like most things, the power-hungry goddess had fucked up everything.

And now, as they lay in his arms–the elves, the demi-wolf, the priestess, and the monster girls, Raven stared into the abyss, trying to find an answer to everything. Any other man would’ve been too distracted by the naked form of his many loves clinging to every inch of him, but right now, even as Maine suckled on his cock and Mino fondled his balls with her lips in her dreams, he remained trapped with his own thought, wondering where this mystery of the so-called candidates was leading and how he could solve it.

In Athenia, he had the army, the holy order, Choux, Moxy, Milo the king, and Monty the Spy, as well as Darius, and quite a few others who could help him. Then there was Elenaris, where, without Mono, the flying ships would’ve never been completed. Then came the angelic idol on Lantherem, Aranuvia, even the demi-human and beastmen of Lululalia; each and everyone was just waiting for him to lead them. Not to mention the now curse-free folks of Aesteradia, along with Eclanor and Inktaus, were bound to follow suit.

The weight of the people’s trust, that was what was keeping him away. Being snuggled by the girls, touched on the privates, caressed lovingly on the thigh, and even kissed everywhere from the chest and down his belly, nothing was helping, and as the girls were tired themselves, they too were only showering him love with their eyes heavy, and some were doing it all in their sleep.

Troubled by his thoughts, Raven took a deep breath and decided to go to sleep. His mind won’t let him, but wanted to try at least. Hours dragged on by, and nothing happened at all. Not a wink nor a momentary loss of consciousness, he just lay there, tired and unable to sleep. That is when he decided to go ahead and give someone a visit.

Slipping out of the girls’ hands, Raven walked outside the room and teleported himself to the edge of Athenia. Coming out on the other end on Rose’s farmhouse, he was a little surprised to find her cleaning dishes with a blank look in her eyes. Staring out of the window at the moon, Rose was lost in wonder or perhaps nostalgia.

Without speaking a word, Raven moved close and hugged her from behind. Her body went stiff for a moment until she realized who it was.

"Raven? When did you–"

"I... I just wanted to get some fresh air." Pressing his nose against her neck, the hero took a deep breath. "I’m sorry for disturbing you so late. Couldn’t help wanting to be around someone who wasn’t dealing with the same mess as me."

Raising an eyebrow, Rose turned her head.

"Did something happen?" She asked, oblivious of the chaos that had brewed up in just a few days.

Laughing at her question, Raven felt glad that there was still someone in the world around him who did know about the grand problems surrounding him. Finding comfort in that knowledge, he wrapped his arms around her waist and squeezed her body from behind.

"Oh~!" Getting poked by his cock as he was still naked, Rose let out a chuckle and squeezed a hand between her ass and his thighs. Grabbing hold of his dick, she began caressing it with long strokes, and since her fingers were dipped with soap, her hand glided across the shaft and left a glistening glow. "Seems like someone’s stressed.

Moving his cock between her clothed asscheeks, Rose moved her clean hand on Raven’s face and pressed her lips with his. While kissing him for the first time in forever, she began pressing her ass against his dick. Grinding her asscheeks against his shaft, she breathed into his mouth as her pussy asshole twitched to his warmth.

Sucking on his tongue and rubbing her rear as if she were doing a dance, Rose wanted to seize the chance to be with Raven as she was amongst the few who rarely got a visit from him.

"I love you, you know that, right?" Breaking the kiss momentarily, she looked him in the eye and asked. "You can come talk to me whenever you want to let off your stress. I’ll listen, I’ll cook, I’ll act as your girlfriend until you make me your wife, but don’t take so long to visit. I love you, Raven, and I want you to lean on me more. Maybe not a mother, but I can act as a motherly guide."

Pausing for a moment, Rose scoffed at her own words. Smirking to herself, she looked into Raven’s eyes again and whispered.

"Well, a motherly guide that you can fuck." Watching her smile, Raven finally felt at peace for the first time since Nerva’s plan had become apparent. And in that moment, with one of his women looking at him with such longing, he could not help but make a decision. "So? What are we going to do now?"

Nodding at her words, Raven reached for her face.

"Rose, I may die in the coming months." Swallowing at his words, Raven witnessed the color drain out of Rose’s red cheeks. "But I don’t want to leave you like this, so tell me."

Reaching down her belly, the hero touched her right by her womb and whispered.

"Will you have my child? I don’t want to leave this world without giving you something to keep me in your memories." Rose’s lips parted in worry, but placing a finger on them, Raven stopped her from asking too many questions, as it would lead her to know too much and lose her innocent charm. "Just answer me."

Pressing his hand against her groin, he lightly gripped her downstairs.

"I want you to be a mother, and this time it will be your own blood and mine mixed together." Moving his hand to her cheek, Raven planted a quick kiss on her nose. "Now, answer me. Will you–"

"Yes..." Rose responded, her hands clasped in prayer.

Heaving a sigh of relief, Raven held her even tighter in a hug.

"I will have your baby, Raven. I...I want to have your babies." And with that, that very night, Raven decided to take the first step towards furthering his relationship with his lovers. Starting with Rose, and who knows whose number would be next?
