Chapter 69: Nice
Chapter 69: Nice
Note: Nice
[Sophia's POV]
My eyes opened because of the unceasing steps of many undeads outside, in my face I could feel a soft and warm sensation enveloping both of my cheeks, one side of me wanted to savor the feeling of these plump mounds that were sandwiching my face while the other knew that I still have a lot of things to do, for one I have to monitor the progress of the undead, but this feeling is too good to just neglect...
Huh, how did I get to rest between Eleanor's breasts again?
_Ah, we had sex yesterday._
My face loosened up and I broke into a lousy smile, the activities last night felt so good that I almost forgot everything that had transpired yesterday, that would have been horrible for Eleanor and myself.
[What do you mean horrible, as if her position right now is not ugly enough.]
My still somewhat murky eyes immediately gained their light as I replied to [Guide].
What do you mean by "not ugly enough"? I can faintly hear a grunt from [Guide] which is quite strange, but of course, I ignored it as I waited for her reply.
[My Venerable Lady, look at her hands.]
I trailed my eyes upwards whilst I slowly got out of Eleanor's naked body, I could see her eyes had a disturbed look despite still being asleep and when I saw her hands that were still bound with the vines that I chained her with yesterday, my face went pale as I tapped the vines with my fingers with haste and went out of bed, I gave her a blanket that she weirdly recreated when I requested her to rebuild the castle.
Her hands have some marks on them and her neck up to her thighs have a lot of hickeys and bitemarks, I went too far, didn't I?
[That's why I'm pushing you to the Harem route my lady, your love is too strong that Eleanor alone cannot take all of it.]
I'm asking if I have gone too far, not if I'm too horny for my girlfriend, and will you shut up with the harem already, I sighed and massaged my forehead, it seems like I forgot to control myself yesterday and railed Eleanor from afternoon until late at midnight, this is what I get by learning about erogenous zones at the age of 10.
_Is it good knowledge that photographic memory can be used to be good at sex?_
I once again sighed as I started to look for my underwear and put them back on, except the panties because it is still quite slimy and I don't want that, I just put up my quite modest bra and looked at the drawer, some underwear can be seen on it and it all of them fi my size, I can also see two spiders suddenly running away from inside the drawer.
I just ignored them, I don't have any energy to scold people right now, I needed to do important things plus I still felt quite guilty because I made Eleanor sleep... or more probably pass out without removing the vines I bound her with with my impulsive display of lust. Once I already put on my panty and bra, I put on my white long-sleeved blouse and tucked it in on my skirt, I picked up my coat and went into Eleanor who was still sleeping as I kissed her forehead and headed out of the room, I wore my black coat immediately as I went into the first floor at the heart of the castle.
I got hit by a hard case of Filipino Time and procrastinated because of certain things that I won't elaborate on anymore, so first thing in the morning, I have to check my throne room, it is the most important thing for a ruler because this is where the meetings between vassals of different nations and other things that emphasizes the authority of a ruler will happen, so I have to go here first.
Well, asserting myself as the ruler of this place is one, but there is something within me that is telling me that I should go to the room, it was like this guardian angel telling me what to do, and when I arrived at the throne room, what greeted me is a place full of wall engravings, the engraving depicts men and women with stitches all over their bodies, some even are headless waging wars to other set of males and females who are running, fear are evident in their eyes.
That was just the gist of it for many other things were engraved in the walls that seemed to be the history of the undead race in a very summarized form, some were banquets, some were people giving gifts, some were blood pacts and some even narrates betrayal, it is majestic, it is glorious.
"Woah..." Is the only thing I can say as I strode near the platform that contains the throne, the stairs that lead to the throne were stone carved into human skulls and bones, seemingly signifying that undeads are superior to humans, or anything that breaths as I can assume, I went and stepped into the first step of stairs as I looked at the throne that is a gigantic stone chair that also has engravings on it, it seems like the engravings are the faces of the rulers of this city.
It is obsidian in color, the same color as the whole throne room and as I sit on it I cannot help but wonder, how can Eleanor restore this room specifically?
[Apparently, Urduja, after traveling to this place wrote a book about what she had seen in the throne room, well she is not much of a historian herself, so she just drew it in complete detail and let others interpret it and create books about it,]
So Eleanor memorized every single engraving in here.
[Seems like she did... That or The Prophet helped her out.]
[Guide] Replied to my inquiries, he seemed to be quite reliable than before, how odd.
[Hey.]
In any case, I cannot help but squint my eyes, if those books that interpreted all of the things that are on this wall were read by a lot of people, then we will have a hard time establishing ourselves as they will know what kind of weapon the undeads have access to as well as their fighting style (Though that much is pretty obvious given our number) and many of our war tactics and I cannot do anything about it.
_Let's hope that at this age, history is deemed to be boring, and second, I have to change all of our tactics to render those books useless. Not like I will use them anyway._
I let out another sigh as I felt the weight of responsibility of just sitting on this throne and proclaiming myself the ruler of this forest. At an early age, I am very smart, y'all are aware of that, right? But at the same time, I was very naive, I used my smarts to create opportunities for my nation, opportunities to create money whether a daylight or night job, all so that I will be adopted by someone, but as I grow older, I finally realized that all of what I am doing is because I just want our title as The Pearl of the Orient to be righteously be respected by the whole word, it was pure patriotism and not any other random bullshit like having a mother,
That was why I was called the Reincarnation of Rizal, using my mere existence as propaganda to reignite the dimming fire in the heart of the Filipino people, but I was too powerless and died in vain, I cannot help but lower my head.
Can I do all of that all over again?
[If you, as a powerless person back then can cause the wind to favor your country, what's more now that you are the Fallen Hero, The One who Never bends to fate but instead bends fate itself for herself and her nation. Forget about a wind, your storm will sweep every single obstacle hindering your once-discontinued dream.]
I let out a smile, you sound like a living being comforting me in my not-very-confident moment huh?
[I would laugh at you if I were a human.]
Fair enough, we had that kind of conversation as I finally heard the long-awaited notification.
Notice [The Punishment of the god of the undead Siginarugan has been decided. You are deemed to be the new Ruler of the forest, but for you to be able to prove yourself worthy of such title, three missions were given to you by the lord you have betrayed.
Mission: Bring back the true strength of the undying legion of Thanatos, You can complete the mission by gathering the following:
1: Create a nation of what is left of the undead's territory.
2: Find and bring back the scepter of the undead and wield it for yourself.
3: Find and unite all the pieces of the Undying Core, it is a relic that can be useful to the undeads and undeads alone, it can have irredeemable damage to anyone who dared harness its power if he or she is not part of the undying race.
Last note: This will be the last quest that will be given to you by your almighty father who has wished that before he died, or even after he perished, you can complete the mission.]
A squint once again escaped my eyes as I read the last part of the notification. So, is my "father" trying to pull off a Jesus in this world? Is he trying to recreate the Holy Bible or some shit? Well I mean, the missions intend to practically make me raise an army that can match the Army of the Kingdom of Heaven, at least in the aspect that they are infinite in numbers. But is he really on an errand that can lead to his death?
_And just like that, his plans which just got clear after my evolution got clouded by a thick veil of mist once again._
Well, I can't understand any of this, I really can't. Remember gods of this world can understand the emotions of humans, but they certainly do not care about them and most probably think of themselves as being higher than those emotions, so I do not believe that this person will sacrifice himself to make undeads great again.
_And he also arranged it so that Siri would say those words, setting a death flag for himself._
Sigh... It's annoying if there is something I cannot grasp the idea of, it feels like an itch that I can't reach. However, I still have a lot of things to do, for one as I said, observe the progress of the reconstruction of the city, second I need to properly observe the summarized history of the undead and then I also need to plan out the structure of my nation through the geographical map of the five-pronged forest by Arachne.
_Actually, what takes her so long even though I am 100 percent sure she already had one in her lab, maybe except the fifth layer?_
I looked at the ceiling and saw dark knights were drowning in the corpses that they had slain, I promise from the bottom, of my heart that I will surpass all the history imbedded in this wall, my regime will be so glorious that all of the world will have a statue of me like how My National Hero had a statue all over the world.
[You don't even have maids and manservants yet.]
Yeah I know, that's why I had to call all the manananggals over, I was pondering on what kind of undead will I use to be the keepers of my castle, and my mind after some time of deliberation settled in this creature, why? Because all of them seem to be weak with their frail and slender body, and no, I am not being prejudiced about the upper half of the manananggals being unable to fight the flow of the wind because of how lightweight they were, and similarly, the lower half, when walking is wobbly and their stomps when they reprimand their upper half cannot even leave a dent.
I mean... they have breasts, decent sized I must say, however, that lump of fat is the only thing that is giving them weight, and their spine cannot even hold them up properly and they are slouching like mad, there are few exemptions, ones that are really "Voluptuous" from head to toe, those people are more likely to be more fitting in the military, but most of them only have Voluminous busts.
As I was thinking that, several... feet came in front of my throne, below it, and bowed by making a Seiza Sit, I squinted my eyes and asked.
"Where are your upper halves?"
The torsos, even though they do not have eyes looked at each other and I can see in the sweat that are running down their thighs that they are trying to make an excuse, however just when a torso was about to go up and create a speech of random bullshit (even though they can't utter a word), a shout was heard.
"We are here my lady!"
That shout was followed by several near screech shouts that sounded like nails scratching through glasses, and as the manananggals started to reattach themselves together I could not help but ask myself.
_Are all manananggals this annoying?_
"That seems to be the case, my lady."
Kabuto, whom I commanded to gather them replied, rage is evident in his voice.

Note: Can't portray a manananggals properly yet, but I plan on creating one as a main character in the future and their appearance here is my practice, so all of them will improve soon, I am sorry.
