"Well then I'm sure that you could come to a compromise, I promise that I'll play according to your rules as well." She landed a light slap on Magdalene's ass sending the maid into a flutter of gasps. "Magdalene , do you have a mother? There's something that I wanted to know about your family." Clomere already knew where she was going.
"Fine, I'll compromise this once. However I'm sure that you know I don't have an avatar to use as my pawn." Clomere poured for herself some wine before taking light sips. "What do you mean? I'm sure that you have that dog of yours leashed, right? You could get Reuthar to bend the knee in a matter of hours if you wished."
Clomere didn't lower her guard with Crimson. "And still, the mass can be a rather effective tool as you've personally proven." Jarren bothered to break the ice between the two."Magdalene, can you kiss Crimson for me?" Crimson didn't seem to bother as a playful smile formed on her face. Magdalene however froze at his request.
"But my Lord- I just can't!" Crimson wrapped her arms round Magdalene's shoulders bringing the two girls closer. "What? Am I really that ugly that you couldn't dare to take a simple kiss with me?" Callista watched the distraught maid be thrown in the den of wolves. 'So this is how it looks like when I play.'
She mused inwardly as a smile formed on her face, watching the scene unfold. "No! It's not that but rather..." Magdalene's words trailed off into silence. "Rather what? Don't you wish to fulfill my request? Or am I not attractive enough for you? Maybe you would fare well with my dear Jarren over here." She turned Magdalene around to reveal Jarren to the miss.
Her cheeks flushed red, her gaze avoiding his as a light disarming smile rested on his face. "Ah! No! It's not that! I don't think that I can do that is what I'm saying!" Magdalene's words shifting from uncertainty to hesitation. Tired of the harassment, Clomere broke the veil. "Can you stop picking on her like that?"
Her words bringing Callista's smile to a frown. "But it's merely a small game." However what she said next took the rest by surprise. "How could she be so willing to kiss any of you without passing through me? After all I'm sure that Crimson could sour her kissing skills for Jarren. So come here dear."
Jarren didn't mind, watching as Magdalene nervously drifted across the room before landing in Clomere's hands.
*Bam*
Pinning her to the wall, Clomere took in more of Magdalene's features. Her blonde hair that cascaded behind her back, her shining blue eyes and her cherry lips. "There was something about you when I saw you." She began with her words, Callista already resorting to boos. "Is that your version of flirting? Please stop if so." Still, Clomere persisted with her advance, her face getting closer and closer to Magdalene's.
"Just drown the world around us and focus on me." Her warm breathe grazing Magdalene's lips which made her heart flutter. 'Is this, is this really happening?' She hadn't thought that morning that she would be placed in a situation where she would have to kiss Clomere or any of the other monsters of Redfall.
"Okay." She managed to whisper as Clomere went in for a kiss. "Chuu~~" Their lips colluding before the two broke apart, a light string of saliva a testament of their passion. "Not bad." Clomere praised, parting from Magdalene as Callista's remark was the first thing she heard. "If you want to leave a lasting impression on her then you'll have to do more than just that."
Magdalene now in Callista's hands was taken aback as she took the initiative, she felt Callista's tongue break into her mouth and ravish hers, her mind already melting away at the bliss that began to course through her. "Chuu~~" The rest watched, their faces donned with emotions of intrigue.
"You didn't have to be so rough with her you know." Crimson stated, gesturing at Magdalene to come into her arms. The two now locked eyes, Jarren watching the entire scene with an innocent smile as Crimson and Magdalene shared their first kiss together. "Chuu~~" Breaking apart, Magdalene's face was completely beet-red, her hands covering her face.
"Please excuse me." Her pleas met with Crimson's hands that guided her to Jarren. "Now that you have some form of knowledge with kissing, how about you thank Jarren before leaving." Crimson echoed in her ear akin to the devil with a proposal. She avoided his gaze, Jarren welcoming her with open arms.
"There's nothing to be scared off." Callista insisted as she made her way to Magdalene, landing a kiss on her cheek. "It might feel a bit scary at first but you'll grow used to it." Magdalene now forced herself to stare at the face of the horror behind the fall of Arcania. The man who had singlehandedly birthed the harem that tormented not just this world but the veils above.
And here she was about to kiss the same man. Jarren began his advance, his hands cupping her face forcing her to look at him. "Is it still scary?" His question making her shake her head as the distance between the two grew smaller till they were inches apart. As much as Magdalene wanted to storm out of the room, every fiber in her being seemed drawn to Jarren.
She knew what it meant to be entangled with such a horror and yet her body yearned for it. Their hot breathes colluding with each other before the two shared a kiss. "Chuu~~" Time seemed to stop, waiting for the two to fully indulge before it resumed. For Magdalene, it felt like eternity as she felt his tongue wrap with hers.
Her body began to flare up, her thighs moistening and yet she knew that it would be better to stop. 'What is this feeling?' She couldn't help but wonder as she felt all form of reason leave her body. By the time the two separated, her mind was filled with a daze that left her starved of his touch. She glanced at his lips, longing before darting towards his starry eyes.
"Not bad." His compliment bringing her back to the reality of the room. "Ah! Your misses were great teachers." She beckoned, trying to create some distance with Jarren however Crimson and Callista held her in place. "Does it turn you on?" His question making her heart skip a beat, her gaze now avoidant of his. "Can I please be excused?" Her tone shrill and small that came off as amusing to the four.
"Of course." And with that she broke free from the shackles of the monsters that pinned her down and left the room. "She wasn't that bad." Crimson was the first to state as she made her way over to Clomere who watched her approaching figure with interest. "She could learn some lessons but I'm sure that she'll be perfect for the job with time." Clomere added as Crimson sat on her lap.
Taking her wine out of her hands and taking a sip of it. "Not bad, though I'm sure that you could refine your taste a little bit dear." Her remark followed with a kiss which she used to dump the wine in her mouth into Clomere's mouth. Without leaving her with any means of spitting it out, Clomere was forced into swallowing it
"Gah! You could've nearly killed me." Her words more of function rather than purpose. "I'm sure that you would have survived." Crimson ignored Clomere's gaggings as she wrapped her arms around her neck bringing her closer to her. "So when do we start the game?" Callista shot up, her interest shot at Crimson.
"With the a vital piece of the game that is, the queen. However what would make her one if not for a princess as her sire?" Clomere knew what Crimson wanted from her. "I'll get it done as quick as possible." Her response bringing a smile to Crimson. "That's all I ever wanted dear." Callista who had something festering in her mind finally grew tired of the silence.
"My ever so loving and dear Jarren, can you please explain what Crimson meant when the two of you had plans for later? At another stage when she already has this one?" Her words portraying her suspicion. "Well I considered this stage as a test stage for all of you. But that doesn't affect the gander you have with Clomere."
The notion of Crimson having another stage and more time with Jarren didn't sit well with Callista. "Can I get one? With just me and you without any of the rest?" Clomere chimed in, her tone sharp. "Well thy can only happen after if you win the bet. If not then you might as well forget about the whole thing with spending time with my beloved."
Crimson sat in silence as she lightly swung her legs in a playful demeanor. "Jarren? What do you think of Kaelin?" A question that made the entire room fall silent. "She is what I stated back in my poem. Something to help me pass the time. And besides with Lyssara, I was thinking that it would have been better for her to have some competition other than a Seryn."
Crimson pleased with this revelation, Callista however turned a bit sour. "Eh! It would have been fine for her to be the only one that could rival the code of the game." Her remark met with different responses, most of which seemed to disagree with her. "I would have to agree with Crimson, it would have been too boring for her that way. Besides I think that it's nearing the time to make it public."
Her mind could already picture the sight of hundreds of thousands struggling with the first floor. However this plan of hers would take place way later into one of the final arcs of the first chapter. "Jarren, could you please serve as the main judge for all of this? There's something I want to check with these two."
Crimson's lack of an elaboration made the two feel cheated on. "Jarren?!" Both Callista and Clomere cried in in unison. "Don't worry, it's not that bad for you. It's more about your pawns in the game that you need to focus on." His words offering more insight which however left Callista baffled. "I'm sorry but do the two of you have us as bets in your guinea pig of a race?"
Crimson remained hearing this, Jarren however let out a faint chuckle. "Guinea pigs? What else do you two have to hide from me that I would need to to have to test you two?" The weight of his words heavy as it landed between the two ladies. "And besides..." Crimson chimed in with a mischievous giggle. "...Should we begin to toy with the two of you, it would have been far crueler than you think."
The silence that followed harrowing before another knock on the door eased the stiff air. "Excuse me." Clomere didn't like how with Crimson that she could easily be no different than the lives that she culled at the masses. She had developed the drug, made Arcania fall from it's glory and yet with all such progress at her hands, it all felt rather pointless with Crimson around.
Callista however seemed rather aloof to what she had said. Be it willful ignorance or her thick-skinned nature was a mystery for Clomere. "Well can you excuse me?" Clomere stated before taking her exit. Callista shortly followed. With the two ladies gone, the air between Jarren and Crimson shifted.
"So those two are like so? I thought that they would've stood their ground or at the very least fight back rather than just hear what could have been their fates." Her tone almost disappointed as she closed the distance with Jarren. "What do you expect other than safety with the two, fearful of overstepping their boundaries unlike you."
For Crimson, she saw it as a compliment, reeling Jarren closer with her arms. Their beads for eyes locked in a stare. "I would have already killed them both but I'm sure that they have some use to you, after all they are still alive because you allow it to be." Rather than responding, he chose to steal a kiss from Crimson, to which she easily embraced before turning fervent.
