Star Eater

Chapter 526:

Arthur's Point of View

Pendragon Estate

Bringing my fist up, I cleared my throat awkwardly. "How are you?"

"Well. How's your dick?" Lucia shot back.

Holding up my hands, I quickly replied. "Not touching that."

Thankfully, Rennal being the beautiful person she is, cut in before things could get even more weird. "Have you come to check on Cassidy?"

Lucia looked at the other women. "Yes, and no. I did want to see how Cass was doing, but I also heard Arthur was looking for me. Imagine my surprise to find him talking about his genitals and having sex with Elincia. Sounds like someone's got sex on the mind."

"Pfft! Psssh!" I let out as I crossed my arms. "You-You're one to talk." Lucia quirked a brow at me. "I heard about your advances on Alwin." Her cheeks immediately turned rosy. "The man is on his deathbed, almost literally. Give him a chance to rest. God only knows what might happen if you jump his bones."

"That's private!" She shouted.

"And we were having a private discussion as well. Seriously though, no sex with Alwin."

"Excuse me!?" Lucia questioned back, incredulously.

I shrugged. "Until Alwin is up and moving around, keep it in your dress!" My voice became firmer. "Once he's better you can get as nasty as you want."

She was bright red at this point and her jaw didn't seem to be working. "I thought- You- We..." Lucia trailed off into a stammering mess as I turned back to Cass.

The redhead and Elf looked at us, wincing at the topic. "Ya sure ya should be talkin about this so openly."

"Given that Lucia could kill him with sex, I think it's best to save that poor Elf's life. Although, if one could choose how they die, I imagine many would be willing to do so in that manner." I shrugged.

"It's still improper." Lucia finally recovered enough to reply as her face was still bright red. "Imagine what Cass and Rennal must think!"

I waved her concerns away. "Oh, please. They aren't as innocent as they look." Then I held up my hands to calm her. "But very well, we shall move on. As long as we're clear on Alwin. I didn't save his malnourished ass just so he could die via orgasm." And she went back to being red as a tomato.

"So, what are ya plannin on doin about Elincia. Ya gonna talk ta her about what happened?"

"Nope. I've avoided talking about it at all. Elincia tried to bring it up... Just... Talking about it is something I want to avoid for right now. Especially given what she did with those spells. The amount of liberties taken were... So, can we please stop talking about it?" I asked the group.

All three women looked at each other. "Uh... We could, but didn't she cast some manner of spell ta get pregnant easier?" Cass inquired, slowly and paused. "Doesn't that seem..."

She trailed off and Lucia picked up for her. "Important?" Lucia finished.

"Until it happens, I'm not going to think about it. Until it happens, that night will remain a blur." I told the group. "Until it happens, I'm going to assume it's not going to."

"That doesn't seem very healthy, Sir Arthur." Rennal pointed out.

"Maybe not, but I'm gonna kick that can down the road as far as I can for as long as I can." Holding up my two pointer fingers, I looked at the three women. "So," My head moved to each of them slowly. "Anything else?" None of them said anything. "Good." I then pointed at Cass. "Don't get out of bed." Then I turned to Lucia. "Stop trying to kill Alwin."

Excusing myself quickly from the room so I didn't have to deal with that can of worms, I made my way to Alwin's room. However, since I don't get nice things, another few individuals were waiting for me. One who looked nervous just standing in the room. At least, she certainly looked nervous when I opened the door. Alwin and his mother were also present as they watched the girl.

I quirked a brow as I tried to keep frustration out of my voice. "What are you doing here?"

Aydalia, being the smartass she is, replied. "Visiting my son. That seemed rather obvious."

Rolling my eyes, I replied dryly. "Thank you, Aydalia. Truly you elves have a knack for snark. You and your daughter are so alike it's scary." My attention quickly turned back to Freya. "What are you doing here, Freya?" I asked more directly so the other two wouldn't interfere.
