The second female lead Dual Cultivates

“I can’t. The train cannot be allowed to leave the station for the next week due to the royal orders. The royal guards would be storming the city to check for some people they’ve lost and everyone was ordered to be kept in here for the time being” Lady Mei finally dropped the bomb and Maria felt her heart clench in fear.

Nao looked taken aback by Lady Mei’s words as well which indicated that it had not been a part of her plans.

“Already? Did Princess Neah somehow manage to track us this far?” Nao asked and Maria could see strategies fly behind her eyes.

“I don’t think that’s the case. It looks more like a precautionary measure but it will leave the city in a distress. But as things stand, you will not be able to board the train this week” Lady Mei replied as she shot Nao a look.

Nao sighed a heavy breath and sat down with a full-body jerk. She seemed to be accepting their present situation and the helplessness of it all.

“So, what should we do now? Do we have an ETA for the check? We will need to find a way to juke those royal guards” Nao gritted those words out and Maria could see the visible effort it took her.

Maria felt frustrated by the situation as well but she could not help but feel as if Nao was overreacting.

“ETA? There is no such thing. The raid can happen tomorrow or it can be delayed till next week as well. My hands are bound by this situation as well” Lady Mei replied as she stood up.

“For now, you both should turn in for the night and rest. Let’s brainstorm what we can do tomorrow” Maria blinked her eyes to clear them of the spots she had been seeing for some time.

She had not released how tired she had been till Lady Mei had pointed it out to her. Maria’s body seemed to get the memo for rest as well.

“You’re right. I’m sorry for my bad attitude” Nao forced herself to relax once she how tired Maria was. The demon had forgotten that the oracle was not fully demon and her body was used to a human schedule.

All their running around and fighting must have taken a toll on the oracle.

Maria’s body was just not built for lack of maintenance and it was time to ingest it with more life force.

“Please show us to our rooms for tonight. Don’t worry so much if you find one or both of us missing in the morning. We’ll keep you informed about our whereabouts as long as we are here” Nao assured as she supported Maria’s body.

Maria felt as if she was about to faint from exhaustion. She had nearly not been as tired before but now all she felt was the lack of energy she had.

Somehow, she blamed Lady Mei for reminding her body about her fatigue.

“Just follow the shadows and you shall reach a room stocked to the max. Have fun tonight” Lady Mei winked as a shadow appeared in front of the duo.

Maria watched fascinated as it grew and morphed into a humanoid shape before the shadows bloomed away.

A fully humanoid figure emerged from below and bowed to the pair in front of him.

“This way please” Maria felt herself take a sharp breath as the dead human spoke to her. The demon had full control but the mannerism was fully human.

Maria did not move away from her position and Nao was the one who finally started pushing the pair forward. The demon led then pair behind him and toward the back end of the corridor.

There were a lot of doors which looked identical and Maria was sure she would not be able to tell which one it was if she was asked in the morning.

Not that her tired brain would retain this much information anyway.

“This is your room for tonight. Do not hesitate to contact us if you need something else” the demon spoke as he closed the door behind the pair.

Maira felt like she was in a horror movie that whole time. She could not help the brak of amusement that escaped her mouth at that comparison.

The sound was too sudden and it almost caused Nao to drop her flat on the floor. Thankfully, Nao had well-built reflexed and managed to catch Maria in time.

“Please be more careful with yourself and your body. We cannot allow any mishap to happen to you” Nao almost begged as she put Maria down on the bed.

The softness felt like heaven against Maria's back and her body decided to melt into the quilt.

Nao left Marai there and decided to call one of the shadow guards to get their luggage. It only took a minute and the pair was already settled down in the room.

“Lady Maria, can you do the next part alone, or do you need help?” Now asked as she passed a jar and a tube toward Maria.

Maria only needed a second to recognize the small egg-like shakes inside the jar. The tube Nao had passed her looked too much like the lube to ignore as well.

Maria felt speechless but her brain also reminded her that this was something she had to do now on a regular base.

Still, the thought of doing those kinds of things to herself felt a little weird to Maria. She tried to edge her fingers near her lower half but chicken out as soon as she felt Nao’s eyes on herself.

“Are you not going to give me some privacy? It’s not comfortable to do this with someone watching me” Maria complained as she went red.

The thought of playing with herself and fingering herself with someone watching was a mortifying one. Maria did not have enough guts to be able to do that.

Not without any aid of heat on her part.

“I’m sorry to say but I need to keep a lookout to see whether you are doing it right or not” Nao’s reply came out blank but Maria felt as if she was laughing at her.

“Fine, then you do it. I won’t be able to relax with you around anyway” Maria almost shouted at Nao who stopped smirking and started advancing toward Maria with a serious look on her face.

“If the oracle says the I must follow along. Please sit back and let me do my duty” Maria felt a shall shove and then a body on top of her own.
