Boing. Boing. Bounce. Squish.
"Mmm...Master...No more...I'm already full...", A soft voice spread inside the Private Quarters of Grancel Castle. The scene remained on the large tower beyond the open garden terrace, situated in the upper floors of the castle. Within the first floor of this tower, a giant, circular bed could be seen, one that high-end nobility would often use. White, translucent drapes could be seen wrapped around the entire bed. It wasn't completely visible. A few shadowy blurs could be seen from within.
And one of those, was of course me. I heard Ennea's voice reach my left side, causing me to turn my body around. As my mind stirred awake from dreamland, my hand grabbed onto something quite big. It was firm, bouncy, and above all, soft. Boing.
Feeling this caused me to snap my eyes right open. What appeared before me was bare skin. Two supple mounds could be seen. Even its buds were out in full bloom, perking up right away thanks to my hand that latched onto the closest one. Squeeze.
"Oh my, going for the big guns right at the start of the morning, aren't you, Master?", Ennea's voice called out again, appearing more awake now. Seeing her glory before me, I lifted my eyes up, and saw a beautiful bluish indigo-haired girl smiling at me.
"...Ennea?", I uttered. I couldn't even react again before I saw Ennea reach both of her arms out, and cuddled me into her bosom. The warmth was crazy, and the softness I thought was already pleasant enough, almost made it feel like I had ascended onto another plane. Not literally of course, haha!
"You haven't forgotten about me already, have you, Master? It is your Ennea who returned home just this last night. I'm always open if you plan to attack me, you know~", Ennea said, teasing me. Hearing that, I felt my blood pump a bit, and not in a good way...
"Please tell me we didn't actually do it, did we?", I asked as I enjoyed the hug.
"Wouldn't you like to know, Naoto~?", Another voice called out to me. It was a violet-haired girl who remained on my right side, who also had their chest exposed.
"Hehe, you shouldn't tease Master so early in the morning, Lady Angelica. He could take it the wrong way.", Ennea responded, giggling.
"But isn't that what you're doing right now?", Angelica asked again. "And you know, if you don't want to keep that spot, I wouldn't mind taking it~"
Hearing that, my mind paused, causing me to shift my eyes to look at Angelica. I squinted my eyes at her.
"Over my dead body.", I retorted, not wanting to play along.
"Boo.", Angelica said, and pouted. Still, Angelica's eyes became serious. "Still, Ennea aside, I know you still have a couple years out before you are going to consider doing such a thing to your lovely girlfriends. We can take our time. On that part, we didn't do anything crazy. Just a bit of snuggling to end the day. It was quite nice~"
"I can agree with you there, Lady Angelica. Master sure enjoyed it.", Ennea said, still smiling at me. "Just see how happy he looks right now."
"I'm...not going to exactly lie on that. It feels great right now, and I'm enjoying every moment of it, but that's not the point here! I'm now in my adolescence. You're part of that, Angie. One wrong turn and it could reach a point I don't want to cross. Not yet at least, like you've said. I will not shy away from moments like these, though.", I said, smiling at the two.
As I said that, I observed a violet-haired girl who was the spitting image of me, also watching on with an interested look in her eyes. She was in her own section of this bed. I mean seriously. This bed is gigantic. Enough to allow several people to sleep on it with ease. Not that I'm trying to hint at anything here...haha!
"Yeah. Enjoying little moments like this is likely the best course of action for now. We have plenty of other things on our plate to consider at the moment before you rush into things, Naoto. One of which I would like to bring up. Inside this Unification Plan of yours, I saw the people you are interested in, and I know you're not the one to keep this one-sided. This Royal Harem is already harmonious, for the time being. The question remains though, how big do you want it to be?", Kloe asked, who also now appeared awake. She propped her back against one of the pink pillows she slept on.
"Now that is a very good question. It's clear you're connected with a lot of people, Naoto. That Witch for one thing. There's also that mayor's granddaughter too, right? From Crossbell City.", Angelica asked, also wondering.
"Emma, and Elie, yeah. You all know what Emma is going through now. She resolved herself to continue her training, and I won't interrupt that. Elie, on the other hand, is quite out of reach. She's still in Arteria, as far as I'm aware. And there's also the matter of Aurelia...", I uttered, also wondering how big this Royal Harem of mine will increase to. Angelica and Ennea are the start. Kloe's position, I'm not sure on. Grandmother bequeathed Kloe to me, but I'm not sure if I will take her as my wife later. Princess Alfin seems to be vying for that position, based on her previous reactions we've shared, so who knows at this point.
I wouldn't be surprised if Father somehow meddles in all of this in the coming future. He is a scheming bastard, after all. But so am I. We're like two peas in a pod!
"Lady Aurelia. I remember her. She has that duel with you, as far as I recall. If you beat her, she'll join the harem?", Ennea asked with interest. "She's one proud woman. And on that note, I seriously didn't think you'd actually go ahead and create this Royal Harem, Master. But seeing you do this, I knew I no longer needed to stay my feelings. I'm glad with how things have turned out for now."
"That's the way it's looking. Aurelia's such a monster. Even with what I've been given, I'm still hesitant to do the duel.", I replied, sighed. As much as I wanted to let this moment last forever, I propped my body upward, and parted from Ennea's hug. Those mounds are dangerous...
"Hehe. Is that why you want to take this whatever mission is against those Garden people?", Angelica asked. "And I couldn't have said that better myself. I'll be keeping a good eye to make sure no one catches you off guard. We can't have some weird-ass girl joining in on the fun we're having.", Angelica continued, and grinned at me. I wasn't sure if she was being serious here or not. But seeing Angelica not backing down, I looked at her.
"Whether or not that will happen, I do want to use this mission to see how well I fare against other people. If the outcome is good, I may set a date for the duel I have with Aurelia.", I answered with a nod.
"Ines is waiting for us too. We can't wait around for too long. As for this harem, you know there's no turning back, right?", Ennea asked, me showing a serious look in her eyes. I ignored the fact that her two large, round and soft marshmallows were still out in the open.
"Yeah.", I replied, nodding my head again. "You girls might be the first, but you definitely won't be the last. More girls will join the harem. But it will be up to whoever I decide to invite into it, and if they're willing."
"Good. It sounds like you have a solid plan in mind for now, Naoto. Something like this can't be rushed. I also had the maids prepare the bath for us. Hot water should be drawn.", Kloe said.
"Excellent. Why don't we freshen up and see if Ines is ready?", I suggested.
"Let's.", Ennea happily replied. "Before that, though, I just have one teeny-tiny request, Master.", Ennea suddenly said, drawing my interest.
"Oh? And what would that be, Ennea?"
"...Is it alright if I wash your back?", Ennea asked. A light blush appeared on her cheeks, even though she was so aggressive earlier.
Hearing that, I didn't immediately answer. I looked back at Kloe, and I saw her simply nod her head.
"Very well. As long as it's just that, I don't mind.", I answered.
"Hehe. I'll let you two have this one. I'll wash up later. I'm not in a rush, unlike you two are.", Angelica said, and yawned. "I'm going back to bed. Wake me up later, little miss princess~"
"Not you too...", Kloe said, and sighed. "But fine. It's not like we're heading out with you or anything, we can spend the morning and relax a bit."
"You girls do you then. Come now, Ennea.", I said, urging Ennea out of bed.
"With pleasure, Master.", Ennea said, and reached for my hand. Her mounds jiggled a lot while getting out of bed. This is totally normal, alright? It's just my servant slash girlfriend and member of the harem who is about to wash my back. There's no underlying factor, I swear!
Joking aside, being guided by Ennea, we soon entered the bath, and left Angelica and Kloe to their own devices. While the two of us washed away and got freshened up, I wondered how Emma was doing now that some time had passed.
Is Emma doing well these days?
