{3rd Pov}
Subaru had finally departed for Rimpleton City to handle the situation involving the Marquis.
The visit had been delayed far longer than he originally intended, not due to negligence or lack of urgency, but because he had been busy arranging a private meeting with Priscilla.
Yes—that Priscilla.
The same imperial princess who believed, without even the faintest hint of irony, that the entire world existed solely for her benefit and convenience.
For the particular deal Subaru intended to strike in Rimpleton, her presence was non-negotiable.
However, convincing Priscilla to participate—and then scheduling a time that fit her standards—required more patience and diplomacy than Subaru cared to admit.
It took days to finalize the arrangements and letters back and forth between Otto and Alderban from both sides, and only once every detail was to her liking did the journey finally begin.
They set off in two separate carriages.
The first carriage contained Emilia, Geuse, and Roswaal.
Rem drove the team of ground dragons pulling the carriage, keeping the pace steady as they traveled along the main road toward Rimpleton.
The composition of the group made sense—Emilia as the prospective ruler, Roswaal as the political advisor was necessary to be present even if he had lost all his powers within the camp, and Geuse serving as both protection and spiritual support.
Rem handled the reins with calm professionalism, her presence quietly reassuring for everyone involved, though it was only for her stayed outside of her murderous tendencies.
The second carriage trailed behind the first, carrying Subaru and Reina.
The other six spirits—who currently resided within Subaru's spiritual space—remained quiet and dormant for the duration of the trip.
Ram held the reins up front with her usual composed expression, guiding the carriage smoothly along the road.
Unlike the first carriage that required multiple ground dragons, this one was pulled by a single beast: Patrasche.
Naturally, Subaru refused to ride behind any ground dragon other than Patrasche, the possessive creature who had long ago decided Subaru belonged to her and her alone.
At this point, even Subaru had to acknowledge how absurd the situation had become.
He was a walking, talking chick magnet—across species, across races.
The degree of interspecies attraction orbiting him was almost comical.
However, the absurdity outside the carriage was nothing compared to what was happening inside it.
Ram noticed the eerie lack of sound coming from behind her.
No conversation, no rustling, no idle chatter—just silence.
And Ram, being a very sharp and observant woman, immediately connected the dots.
She didn't need to peek or ask questions to understand what was occurring inside the enclosed space.
Yes.
Subaru and Reina were engaged in reproductive activities.
Ram's expression didn't change, but she exhaled through her nose ever so slightly, equal parts resigned and unsurprised.
Subaru and Reina had never been a couple shy about affection, and considering their level of intimacy, Ram concluded that if they chose to make use of the long travel time for "physical bonding," then that was entirely their business.
She flicked the reins again, letting Patrasche increase the pace by a fraction.
There was still a long road to Rimpleton ahead.
...
Reina knelt down on the rough wooden floor of the carriage, her knees pressing into the worn cushions as she leaned forward.
She planted a firm kiss right on the tip of the glans of Subaru's cock, her lips brushing against the sensitive skin there.
But she did not stop after just one kiss; instead, she pressed another one onto the same spot on the glans, letting her mouth linger for a moment before trailing her kisses downward along the length of his shaft.
She moved slowly, her lips touching every inch of his cock until she finally reached his balls.
There, she kissed each one separately, first the left and then the right, her breath warm against his skin as she marked him with her possessive affection.
Subaru stared down at Reina from his seat, his eyes fixed on the way she claimed his cock with those deliberate kisses.
He swallowed hard, unable to gulp down the saliva building in his mouth as he took in the sight of her.
It looked so incredibly hot, the way she owned every part of him like that, and his cock responded immediately, hardening even more and throbbing with an urgent need that pulsed through his entire body.
A sultry smile spread across Reina's lips as she lifted her hand, her fingers moving to the very tip of his cock.
She rubbed the head gently, feeling the smooth texture under her touch, and noticed a small bead of precum that had gathered there.
With careful precision, she wiped it away using her soft fingertip, then continued to trace circles around the tip, teasing the sensitive area with light strokes that made his cock twitch in response.
Her smile widened as she leaned down further, bringing her face close to his pubic region.
She inhaled deeply, taking in the musky scent of his arousal, the smell filling her senses and heightening her own excitement.
Without hesitation, she extended her tongue and licked along the sac around his balls, her tongue flat and wet as it glided over the wrinkled skin.
At the same time, she wrapped her hand firmly around the base of his cock, gripping it with just the right amount of pressure.
She began rubbing the tip again with her thumb while her other fingers started jerking the shaft slowly, up and down in a steady rhythm that built the tension gradually.
Subaru let out a slow gasp, his breath catching in his throat as he watched the entire scene unfold before him.
His body tensed, every nerve ending alive with the sensations she was creating.
Meanwhile, the spirits from his spiritual scene observed the intimate display with complete speechlessness; they had no words for what they were witnessing inside the carriage.
Overwhelmed by the raw intensity, they simply averted their attention, turning their focus back to observing the outside world beyond the rocking vehicle.
Reina continued her attentions without pause, lowering her mouth to take one of Subaru's balls into her warm, wet mouth.
She started sucking on it gently while her hand kept jerking his cock in a steady rhythm, the combined sensations pulling a deep moan from Subaru's lips.
He couldn't hold back the sound, his body arching slightly as pleasure built inside him.
She switched to licking the sensitive skin around his balls, her tongue flicking out to trace every wrinkle and fold, all while her soft hand moved swiftly up and down his shaft.
She sucked each ball in turn, drawing them into her mouth one after the other, applying just enough pressure as if she were milking him for every drop of pleasure he had to offer.
Her technique was deliberate and focused, making sure to cover every inch with her saliva-slicked tongue and lips.
Her hand never stopped its motion, sliding to and fro along his length with increasing speed.
She gradually tightened her grip as she pumped him, her fingers squeezing a bit more firmly with each stroke, heightening the friction and intensity that coursed through his cock.
The wet sounds of her sucking filled the confined space of the carriage, echoing off the wooden walls and mixing with Subaru's ragged breaths and occasional moans.
The air grew thick with the scent of their arousal, and the rocking motion of the vehicle seemed to add to the building tension between them.
Minutes passed in this heated exchange, her mouth and hand working in perfect coordination to push him closer to the edge.
Finally, Subaru's cock throbbed hard in her grasp, the veins pulsing as he reached his climax.
He started cumming with a groan, the first thick shot of semen erupting from his tip and splattering against the heavy curtains that hung at the side of the carriage, leaving a white streak on the fabric.
The second shot followed quickly, arcing through the air and landing in Reina's dark hair, some of it catching on the strands and dripping down slowly.
By the time the third shot fired, Reina had angled his cock toward her face, guiding it with her hand so the warm load hit her cheek directly, sliding down her skin in a sticky trail.
The fourth one shot out and struck her neck, the semen pooling there before beginning to trickle lower.
The fifth burst landed on her naked breasts, coating the soft curves and running toward her cleavage, but as his cock twitched again, it directed the next spurt back up toward her face.
This time, it hit her closed eyelids, the force making her squeeze her eyes shut even tighter as the fluid covered her lashes.
Subaru shuddered through the last of his release, his body going slack as he panted heavily, but Reina showed no sign of stopping.
It wasn't the end for her; she had more in mind.
With a subtle flick of her wrist, she manifested a clean handkerchief from the pocket dimension she had access to, a handy ability granted by her newly acquired Divine Protection of Personal Dimension.
This power allowed her to store and retrieve items at will, and she used it now without hesitation.
She dabbed at the semen on her eye carefully, wiping away the sticky mess that had landed there, making sure to clear her vision.
Once done, she folded the handkerchief and sent it back into the dimension, tucking it away safely so she could retrieve it later and savor the scent of his cum in private.
Satisfied for the moment, Reina shifted closer to him on her knees, pressing her body against his legs.
She gathered her breasts in her hands, the soft flesh still glistening from his earlier shot, and wrapped his softening cock between them, squeezing gently to hold it in place.
She leaned in, her lips parting as she prepared to take him into her mouth for a proper blowjob, her tongue already darting out in anticipation.
But just as she was about to begin, a sudden shift occurred in the air inside the carriage.
From Subaru's spiritual space, Gloria emerged without warning, materializing into the physical world.
She settled onto the other seat across from them, her position facing the back of Reina, who became quickly aware as she focused on Subaru.
The situation turned awkward right away with Gloria's sudden appearance, her presence hanging in the air like an unwelcome intruder during their private moment.
But then she flashed a quick smile and spoke up in a casual tone, saying, "Why don't you two continue? This concubine is just going to take some fresh air."
For a brief moment, Subaru debated what to do, his mind racing as he considered the interruption.
However, getting stopped in the middle of such an intense session irritated him deeply, so he decided to ignore her completely, focusing his attention back on Reina without acknowledging Gloria's words or her position on the opposite seat.
He didn't think Gloria meant a lie, after all she was very direct in her actions and not exactly a human so her moral compass was different from humans, considering her actions from the perspective of humans was useless.
Reina, sensing his resolve, didn't hesitate.
She positioned herself closer, cupping her full breasts in her hands and sliding his cock between them, the soft, warm flesh enveloping his shaft snugly.
She began giving him a titjob right there, pressing her tits together firmly to create tight pressure around his length as she moved her body up and down.
Her skin was still slick from his earlier release, making the glide smooth and teasing, each stroke sending jolts of pleasure through him.
Subaru watched intently, his hands gripping the edges of the seat as she worked him with deliberate motions, her nipples hardening against his thighs with every pass.
The build-up happened faster than he expected, the friction from her breasts pushing him toward another peak.
Before he fully realized it, his cock erupted again, painting her face with thick ropes of semen that splattered across her cheeks, lips, and forehead in messy streaks.
At the same time, more of his load coated her breasts white, the cum dripping down the curves and pooling in her cleavage as she kept squeezing him through his orgasm.
Subaru's breaths came in heavy gasps, his body tensing with the release, but the satisfaction only fueled his desire further.
Without wasting a second, he grabbed Reina by the shoulders and pushed her firmly against the carriage seat, positioning her on all fours with her ass raised toward him, ready to take her from behind in a doggy style fuck.
He paused for a moment to admire the view, his eyes locking onto her beautiful pink pussy folds, which were already swollen and glistening with her arousal.
The lips parted slightly, inviting him in, and he could see the wetness leaking from her entrance.
Subaru placed the tip of his cock right against her vagina, rubbing it back and forth along the slick slit to tease her opening.
He coated his head thoroughly with her leaking juices, the warm fluid making his shaft shine as he prepared to enter her, the scent of her excitement filling the small space around them.
"My Lord… Ah… Give it to me~❤️ Your cock, please give it to me," Reina begged, her voice breathy and desperate as she swayed her back, arching it to present herself more fully.
Her hips wiggled in need, pushing back slightly against his tip in silent plea.
Subaru grinned at her eagerness, his hand coming down to smack her ass hard, the impact making the flesh ripple alluringly under his palm, leaving a red mark that spread across her skin.
The sting made her gasp, but it only heightened her anticipation.
Then, he reached forward and grabbed a fistful of her hair, pulling her head back toward him sharply, which forced her spine to bend and form a deep arch in her back, lifting her ass even higher.
With her in that perfect position, Subaru thrust his entire length into her in one powerful go, burying himself balls-deep inside her tight pussy.
"~Ahhh!~❤️" Reina moaned loudly, her face twisting into a slutty expression of pure bliss as his glans slammed against the entrance of her cervix, stretching her walls around him completely.
The sensation was overwhelming for her, her body shuddering from the sudden fullness.
Subaru kept his grip tight on her hair, yanking her closer as he started pounding her from behind with rough, steady strokes.
Each thrust drove him deep, his hips slapping against her ass with audible smacks that echoed in the carriage.
His cock had already molded Reina's pussy into his exact shape after countless sexual sessions between them, the inner muscles gripping him like they were made for him alone.
Now, it served as a perfect fit, her channel hugging every inch of his shaft like a dedicated cocksleeve, squeezing and milking him with every movement.
Subaru's pace quickened, his free hand digging into her hip for leverage as he fucked her harder, the rocking of the carriage adding an extra rhythm to their coupling.
Reina's moans grew louder, her body rocking forward with each impact, completely lost in the pleasure of being taken so thoroughly.
"~Ahhh!❤️~Ahh! ~❤️Ann ~❤️So good!~❤️Lord~❤️Oh My Lord~❤️Please fuck me harder!" she moaned loudly as Subaru dogged her from behind in the carriage, his thrusts brutal and forceful, clearly meant to breed her deep inside if she didn't have that special Divine protection of Anti-Pregnancy safeguarding her womb.
Without it, she would already be pregnant with Subaru's children by now, considering how many times they had fucked together over the past sessions, each one leaving her filled and exhausted but craving more.
The protection allowed them to go all out without any real consequences, turning their encounters into pure, unrestrained indulgence.
Plap Plap Smack Smack
Subaru kept up the relentless pace, his hips slamming forward with enough power to shake her entire body.
He smacked her buttcheeks hard with his open palm, watching the soft flesh ripple alluringly under the impact, the red marks blooming on her skin as he continued to piston into her from behind.
Her pussy clenched tight around his cock, the inner walls gripping him desperately, trying their best to milk out every drop from the master of her insides, squeezing and pulling at his shaft with rhythmic contractions that made it hard for him to hold back.
The wetness from her arousal coated him completely, making each slide in and out smoother and more intense, the sounds of their bodies colliding filling the confined space of the carriage.
He grunted deeply, his breath hot against her neck as he reached forward and pulled her hair tighter in his fist, forcing her spine to form a sharp arch that lifted her ass even higher for better access.
With her head yanked back, he grabbed her chin firmly in his other hand and tilted it upwards, bringing her lips to his for a rough kiss.
Their mouths crashed together hungrily, tongues tangling as he dominated the exchange, pushing his way inside to claim her fully.
Slurping noises echoed through the carriage as his saliva flowed freely down her throat, the wet sounds mixing with her muffled moans while Subaru abused her pussy from behind without mercy.
His hands shifted down to grab her strongly at the belly, fingers digging into the soft skin there for leverage as he pushed his cock even deeper with each thrust, the thick head striking hard against her cervix over and over.
Her entire body shivered uncontrollably with every powerful impact, waves of pleasure and strain rippling through her muscles, making her legs tremble beneath her.
Her strength was weakening with each passing second, her arms barely holding her up on the seat as the relentless pounding wore her down, turning her into a quivering mess completely at his command.
Subaru didn't let up, driving into her harder, feeling her pussy spasm around him in response, the heat and tightness building toward another explosive release for both of them.
Finally, Subaru broke the kiss with Reina, pulling his mouth away from hers as thick strands of saliva dripped down her chin and lips, leaving her gasping for breath in the dim light of the carriage.
He straightened her spine with a firm push on her back, forcing her upper body upright before shoving her harder against the rough wooden wall of the carriage, pinning her there so he could position himself even better for the next round.
He was getting ready to breed her into complete submission once more, his cock still buried deep inside her pussy, throbbing with the need to fill her up again despite the divine protection that kept any real pregnancy at bay.
The way her body yielded to him made him want to claim her over and over, turning her into nothing but a vessel for his pleasure during this intense session.
As he reached forward to grab her hair again, twisting his fingers into the strands to yank her head back for better control, suddenly a hand shot out and grabbed his chin tightly, yanking his face sideways without warning.
Before he could react, soft lips pressed against his own, forcing a deep kiss on him right in the middle of his thrusting rhythm.
Subaru's face went completely blank for a split second, his mind reeling from the unexpected interruption, but he quickly realized who it was—the only person with the sheer audacity to pull something like this off while he was in the middle of breeding his wife.
It was Gloria, his contracted spirit and the closest thing he had to a daughter in this twisted dynamic of theirs, the one being who could get away with such bold moves because of their unbreakable bond.
Gloria didn't hold back at all; her hand slid around his naked body immediately, fingers splaying out to grab his bare chest, nails digging lightly into the muscled skin as she deepened the kiss even more passionately than before.
She pressed her body closer, her tongue invading his mouth with aggressive hunger, swirling around his own as she took control of the moment, making sure he felt every bit of her desire in that brief exchange.
Subaru's body tensed at first from the surprise, but the sensation of her touch only added to the heat building inside him, his cock twitching harder inside Reina as the dual stimulation hit him all at once.
Reina, of course, knew exactly what was happening behind her—she could sense Gloria's presence and the shift in Subaru's focus, the way his thrusts faltered just a bit from the distraction.
If this had happened at any other time, it would have gotten a strong reaction from her, maybe jealousy or a sharp word to assert her place, but right at this moment, her body was quivering uncontrollably with overwhelming pleasure from Subaru's cock still pounding into her from behind.
Her pussy walls clenched around him desperately, slick with their mixed fluids, and she was too lost in the sensations to do anything but moan softly.
Subaru's own pleasure had already been intense, but now it doubled in an instant as Gloria kissed him, her tongue meeting his in a wet tangle, exchanging saliva freely as she sucked on his tongue with greedy pulls that made his head spin.
The added thrill of her involvement pushed him closer to the edge, his hips snapping forward again instinctively, driving deeper into Reina even as he responded to Gloria's kiss.
Then, after what felt like an eternity of that heated lip-lock, Gloria broke the kiss with a wet pop, a thin trail of their combined saliva connecting their mouths for a second before snapping away.
She moved swiftly behind him, her entire dress dissolving into shimmering spirit particles that vanished into the air around them, leaving her completely naked in the cramped space of the carriage.
Her bare skin pressed flush against his back, the warmth of her body radiating into his as she molded herself to him from behind.
Subaru could feel her hard, pink nipples rubbing directly against his skin, the stiff peaks dragging across his shoulders and upper back with each subtle shift, sending sparks of sensation down his spine.
The full press of her bountiful chest squished against him, the soft, heavy weight of her breasts flattening warmly on his muscles, providing an extra layer of contact that made his skin tingle.
Her hands slid down to settle on his abs, fingers tracing the defined ridges there before gripping firmly for support, and she leaned in close to his ear, her breath hot against his skin as she whispered directly into it in a low, commanding tone, "Continue."
The word hung in the air, urging him on without any room for hesitation, her presence now fully integrated into their ongoing fuck session inside the rocking carriage.
Gloria placed her hands on Subaru's hips and pushed him gently but firmly forward, forcing his thick cock to press even harder against Reina's cervix deep inside her tight pussy.
The sudden pressure made both of them moan out loud, Reina's voice coming out as a high-pitched whimper of ecstasy while Subaru grunted from the intense squeeze around his shaft.
The sensation of hitting that barrier inside her sent waves of pleasure shooting through his body, making his muscles tense up as he fought the urge to just let go right then and there.
In the end, Subaru gave up on any thought of stopping the action or pushing Gloria away; instead, he reached down with both hands and grabbed fistfuls of Reina's soft buttcheeks, squeezing the firm flesh hard enough to leave red marks on her skin.
He used that grip to pull her back against him repeatedly, continuing to piston his cock in and out of her soaking wet pussy with powerful, relentless thrusts that made the entire carriage shake from the force of his movements.
Each slam forward buried him balls-deep inside her, the wet slapping sounds of their bodies colliding echoing off the walls, while Gloria, still pressed tight against his back, leaned in closer and started licking at his ears gently with the flat of her tongue, tracing the sensitive edges before moving down to kiss the nape of his neck with open-mouthed presses that left trails of saliva on his skin.
She didn't stop there; her lips latched onto his shoulder blade next, sucking hard on the muscle there, her teeth grazing lightly as she marked him with small red spots from the suction.
For several long minutes, Subaru found himself completely assaulted by waves of pleasure coming at him from every direction—his cock was being milked relentlessly by the tight, gripping walls of Reina's pussy, which clenched and fluttered around him with every thrust, pulling him deeper as if she couldn't get enough of his length stretching her out.
At the same time, Gloria kept up her assault from behind, her mouth working over his skin as she sucked and nibbled on his shoulder and neck, her tongue flicking out to taste the sweat beading there from their heated activity.
Her naked body stayed glued to his back, her heavy breasts squishing flat against him, the hard points of her nipples dragging across his skin with every subtle shift, while her hands roamed over his sides and abs, fingers digging in to hold on as the carriage rocked.
The combined sensations built up inside Subaru like a storm, his balls tightening as the pressure mounted, his breaths coming in ragged gasps amid the moans filling the small space.
Reina's pussy juices coated his cock completely, making each slide in and out smoother and more obscene, the slick sounds mixing with her cries of pleasure as she pushed back against him, desperate for more of that deep penetration.
In the end, after enduring that dual onslaught of stimulation, Subaru's cock started throbbing wildly inside Reina, the veins pulsing as his orgasm approached fast.
"I am cumming!" he announced through gritted teeth, his voice rough and strained from the effort of holding back just a little longer.
Without wasting a second, he released his hold on her buttcheeks and grabbed Reina around the waist instead, yanking her body up and pulling her fully into his lap in one swift motion.
This new position allowed him to drive his cock even deeper into her, the head breaching past her cervix and pushing straight into her womb, stretching her inner walls to their limit as she screamed out in a mix of pain and overwhelming bliss.
Gloria, sensing the climax building, leaned in once more and sucked hard on his nape, her lips sealing over the skin there with wet, pulling motions that added that final spark to push him over the edge, her breath hot against him as she held him steady from behind.
Subaru's semen erupted from his cock in powerful spurts, pouring directly down into Reina's womb and completely filling it up with his thick, hot load, the white fluid coating every inch inside her and claiming her body as his own in that moment of release.
He kept thrusting shallowly through his orgasm, making sure every drop stayed buried deep, the overflow starting to leak out around his shaft as her pussy overflowed from the sheer volume.
Reina shuddered in his lap, her body convulsing around him as she rode out her own peak, her nails digging into his thighs for support while she gasped and whimpered from the fullness.
Finally, after the last pulses faded, Subaru pulled his cock down slowly from her, inch by inch, watching intently as the mixture of their juices—his cum mixed with her arousal—poured out from her beautiful pussy folds in a steady stream, dripping like a fountain down her thighs and onto the carriage floor below, leaving a messy puddle that glistened in the low light.
The sight of her gaping entrance, red and swollen from the rough use, only made his spent cock twitch with aftershocks of pleasure.
As the intensity died down, Gloria planted one last deep kiss on Subaru's lips, her tongue slipping in briefly to taste him before she pulled away completely.
With a flicker of spirit magic, her clothes reappeared on her body in an instant, the fabric materializing from particles of light that settled over her skin, covering her naked form once more as if nothing out of the ordinary had occurred.
She stepped back casually and made herself comfortable on the back carriage seat, crossing her legs and leaning against the cushion with a neutral expression, acting as if what she had just done—interrupting their fuck session, joining in with her touches and kisses—had never ever happened at all.
The air in the carriage hung heavy with the scent of sex, but Gloria sat there composed, her eyes drifting out the window as the vehicle continued its journey.
However, each action has its own consequences, and the ripple effects of this bold involvement were just beginning to stir in the front of Subaru's eyes, even as his body relaxed from the exertion.
...
Reina and Subaru, now fully dressed and cleaned up, sat side-by-side inside the carriage.
The atmosphere had shifted drastically from just minutes earlier.
Reina had regained her rationality after the intimacy, but her expression was anything but calm.
She glared at Gloria with the kind of cold, murderous intensity that made even seasoned fighters hesitate.
Subaru, for the first time in a long while, found himself sweating bullets and trying to keep his breathing steady.
"Why… why did you do that?" Reina finally asked.
Her voice was low, tight, and dangerous in a way that made the carriage feel several degrees colder.
Gloria did not flinch.
Instead, she grinned—wide, smug, and absolutely unrepentant.
"This concubine merely wished to participate in your recreation. It seemed entertaining," she replied with the same aristocratic condescension she always employed.
Then, as if realizing Reina's anger needed further clarification, Gloria added, "If it eases your fragile pride, then take comfort in knowing this concubine is not attracted to women. She prefers her father. This concubine is father-sexual."
Subaru choked on air while Reina's left eye twitched violently.
"So do not misunderstand. This concubine holds no interest in you," Gloria concluded, the last line dipped in mild disgust.
The disdain wasn't performative either—Gloria meant every word.
During the earlier intimacy she had focused entirely on Subaru, touching Reina only once, and even then it had been merely to push Subaru closer to her.
If anything, Gloria's behavior confirmed she despised yuri dynamics and was as straight as a spear aimed at Subaru's heart.
But Reina's anger wasn't rooted in Gloria's lack of attraction to women, nor in her bizarre "father-sexual" declaration.
Reina was livid because, during their intimacy, Gloria had intruded—physically and boldly—interrupting what was supposed to be her private time with Subaru.
The memory of Gloria kissing Subaru while Reina was being taken from behind burned in her mind like acid.
In the haze of passion she had been too overwhelmed to react, simply letting the moment slide and going with the flow.
Now that her thoughts were clear and her reason restored, she was seething.
A shameless bitch had dared to make a move on Zero—on her Zero—during an act reserved for wife and husband.
That violation was unforgivable.
Subaru was her rightful spouse, her partner, the center of her existence.
He was her purpose, her meaning, her love.
To Reina, the idea that someone else could casually touch him, kiss him, or claim intimacy during such a sacred moment felt like an insult carved directly into her bones.
'No one can have him but me,' she whispered internally, nails digging into her palm as she clenched her fists.
"Ask for forgiveness," Reina demanded aloud, her tone sharp and cold enough to cut steel.
It wasn't a suggestion.
It was a command issued from a place of primal possession.
Gloria only smirked in response, legs crossing with lazy elegance as she settled deeper into the carriage seat.
"This concubine has never known fear," she replied, voice dripping with aristocratic arrogance and unearned superiority.
Her expression was haughty, chin tilted upward, eyes half-lidded in disdain, as if Reina's fury was nothing more than entertainment.
In less than a heartbeat, Reid materialized in Reina's grip—already unsheathed, already humming with killing intent.
At that exact instant, the Divine Axe Rita manifested in Gloria's hand, heavy and imposing as always.
Neither woman hesitated.
Both weapons swung simultaneously, arcs of lethal steel and divine force aimed directly at each other.
They halted only inches before making contact—not because their reach had fallen short, but because Subaru's neck happened to occupy the space between those final inches.
Subaru had moved between them faster than either Reina or Gloria anticipated, placing himself squarely in the line of fire before a single clash could occur.
For a brief, breathless moment, silence dominated the carriage.
The only sound was the rhythmic sway of wheels along dirt and the muffled clatter of Patrasche's claws striking the road outside.
Reina's eyes narrowed dangerously.
Gloria's expression remained smug, though her grip tightened ever so slightly on Rita's handle.
"You are lucky," Reina muttered as she clicked her tongue and disengaged.
Reid vanished as abruptly as it had appeared, dissolving from her hand.
Gloria followed suit, letting Rita disappear from reality and leaving the air empty once again.
Subaru exhaled a long, controlled breath now that decapitation was no longer imminent.
If he wanted to, he could suppress either Reina or Gloria through sheer force and authority alone.
But that wasn't the point—not here, not for this problem.
This situation demanded coexistence, not domination.
He wanted the two to find common ground, or at least a truce that didn't involve divine weapons and attempted murder mid-travel.
If such a thing was even possible.
Once Subaru lowered himself back into his seat, Reina immediately moved closer.
She reached for him without hesitation, her fingers sliding along the nape of his neck.
It wasn't out of affection alone—she traced the spot carefully, as if checking for damage.
There were still faint marks from Gloria's kisses and hickeys, but that wasn't what concerned her.
Reina had nearly taken his head off moments earlier, and the realization of just how close she came made her stomach churn.
Her anger toward Gloria still simmered, but Reina could never forgive herself if she harmed Subaru, even by accident.
That was the real reason she had stopped the clash.
Gloria wasn't worth risking Subaru's safety over.
Reina then guided Subaru's hand between her breasts, holding it there as though trying to ground herself.
With her other hand, she leaned her head against his shoulder, closing her eyes as her breathing slowly stabilized.
She didn't voice her feelings—Reina rarely did—but the gesture itself carried a silent plea.
She was apologizing in the only way she knew how without making the situation more awkward.
Asking for Subaru's forgiveness, not with words, but with closeness.
It was her way of admitting she had almost let her rage hurt the one person she could never bear to harm.
Subaru understood without needing the explanation.
Gloria, not to be outdone by Reina in the slightest, shifted across the carriage and settled onto the same seat as the two of them.
Without hesitation, she took hold of Subaru's free hand and guided it between her own breasts, mirroring Reina's gesture with equal boldness.
Then she leaned against his other shoulder, eyelids dropping shut as if this arrangement were perfectly normal and not the aftermath of a near-lethal confrontation.
The carriage continued to sway gently as Patrasche pulled them along the uneven road, the interior rocking in a rhythm that felt strangely calm compared to the chaos that had preceded it.
Subaru sat in complete silence, arms now occupied by two women who absolutely refused to concede to one another.
He realized, with absolute clarity, that he had crossed a line somewhere back there—a line that once passed, could never be retraced.
There was no returning to normalcy.
Not with these women.
Not with this situation.
Not with the way his life had spiraled into a tangled mess of affection, obsession, and unavoidable harem politics.
And yet, despite knowing all of that…
Why?
Why did he have a smile tugging at the corner of his lips?
(A/N: You sly dog!)
