The Hero Became a Succubus, and the Only Way to Level is to… What?! Chapter 487 – Arenade has a Problem

The number of people seeking audiences decreased significantly as of late. Today, Kanae only t with less than twenty concerned citizens. She even still had the rest of her morning to enjoy. As she was about to get up to go take a nice steaming bath, a panicked attendant ca rushing through the throne chamber door.

"Your Majesty!" An older human woman in clerical robes grinded to a stop in front of her, hands propped against both knees and panting. "A mob has gathered outside the castle!"

"What? Why would there be a mob? What could I have done recently to piss people off?" Kanae asked.

"I don't believe this is a normal mob. Their white gowns and rising sun emblem suggests they are Bright Cloister," she explained.

Arenade…

Kanae followed the attendant with a group of guards escorting them outside. Just beyond the garden courtyard, a large mob chanted sothing incoherent past the wrought iron gate. Ehmvier's castle wasn't surrounded by walls or fortifications. Kanae and Arenade didn't want the citizens to feel that they were out of reach as rulers of the city. Instead, a sowhat tall impassable hedge stretched around the castle with a short iron fence embedded within.

The exit and entrance to the courtyard were a large archway and wrought iron gates, similar to ones seen at ceteries, designed with floral patterns. A few guards were stationed to keep the mob at bay, but they inched every closer to pouring in like a flood.

"Where is Priestess Arenade!"

"We want another prayer session!"

"Is Empress Arenade alright? Tell she's alright! I can't live without laying eyes on her beauty at least once a week!"

"This is getting out of hand. One of them sounds like they need a therapist, not religion!" Kanae groaned.

"Shall we have the castle guards disperse them, Empress? If needed, we could send a rider out the back to send soldiers from the barracks," the attendant suggested.

"No need. I'll address them," she said, walking up to the shut gates.

"Who do we want?" Soone led the chant with magic amplifying her voice.

"Arenade!"

"When do we want her?"

"Now!"

A few Bright Cloister mbers recognized Kanae and softened up.

"Empress Kanae! We've missed your presence at the past few prayer sessions. Will you be joining us for the next one?" A rabid elven woman flashed a smile full of zeal.

"I, uh… I can't. Sorry. I'm just so busy. What's going on here anyway? Why is everyone gathered at my castle?" Kanae asked, then motioned for so of the guards to step back.

"We haven't seen Arenade in a week now and even missed prayer! That's unheard of, especially since Arenade leads us. There are also a lot of new mbers that wish to be inducted into Bright Cloister," she explained and yanked so people behind her to the front.

"Ay, I heard this group has orgies. I wanna join!" a goblin exclaid.

"I can't stop thinking about Priestess Arenade's fat titties!" Another licked his lips.

The Parn Park incident certainly changed Bright Cloister's trajectory. No wonder Arenade went into hiding. She glanced back at the castle where the high elf had holed herself in. This mob wasn't going to disperse without assurances of her return.

"Alright, I'll talk to Arenade and get her to start coming back out again. But I need you all to go ho for today. You're causing a ruckus and making people uneasy," Kanae explained.

"Of course. Thank you! It would be nice to have you join us again, Empress!" The elf bowed and corralled everyone to start leaving.

Whew.

The attendant and guards beca much more relieved, too. With that settled, Kanae returned to the castle in search of Arenade. She hadn't been sleeping in their bedchamber together. Kanae found herself sleeping alone lately, and so spent nights with Alicia instead.

Arenade's absence, however, ant that there was only one place she could be. When they designed the castle, both of them agreed to also build a separate personal room apart from their shared bedchamber. Kanae hardly used hers, and only occupied it when Noah, Mitty, or another lover was around so Arenade didn't have to listen to them having sex.

On the way to Arenade's personal bedroom, Kanae ran into Alicia being escorted by a couple of Sisters of Sin. The half-succubi paused to curtsey.

"Alicia? What are you doing up?" Kanae asked.

"My daily walk. Oh, we normally wouldn't encounter each other in the morning because of your royal duties. I can't stand lying in bed all day, so I take a walk around this ti with these ladies. They have been very sweet to ." Alicia smiled at them.

Looking at that swollen belly, it wasn't going to be much longer. Alicia was the first true succubus Kanae had impregnated. She wondered which of their horns were going to be expressed. Either way, their child was going to be very loved here.

If only Ambrosia wasn't leading Temptation down the path of the Cult of Lust and Depravity. They would have been excited to introduce her daughter Vanressa to new cousin.

"What's the matter? Worried about ?" Alicia cupped Kanae's face with one warm hand.

"Sorry, I was just distracted. I'm about to head to Arenade's private room. I'll leave you to your walk," Kanae said.

"I'll accompany you. It won't hurt to extend my walk a little longer." She linked arms with her and beckoned the Sisters to follow.

They traveled down the corridor, and Kanae was more than happy to slow her pace to accommodate Alicia. This felt nice. It reminded her of when Arenade was pregnant with Kanade. Except unlike Alicia, Arenade complained all the ti and craved the most exotic food. Still, she treasured those fond mories all the sa.

Their group finally reached the private room which Arenade likely stayed in for the past week. The one ti Kanae had the pleasure of going inside, she was surprised to see that it was pretty much a miniature ho. Furnished with a bathroom, kitchen, and balcony parlor, Arenade wouldn't need to co out at all so long as the servants regularly brought her food.

Kanae knocked on the door and called out. No answer. She reached out to twist the handle, but it didn't budge. Locked.

"I can help with that." Alicia pulled out her lockpick set.

"Do… Do you just carry that on hand wherever you go?" Kanae stared in disbelief.

"You'll never know when a lock needs to be picked." She winked and got to work.

In less than a minute, the chanism in the door's lock clicked. Alicia turned the handle effortlessly, and the door gave way.

"After you." Alicia grinned.

"You have no idea how many tis we could have used you in Elusis." Kanae chuckled.

They quietly entered the room, but the Sisters of Sin opted to wait outside. The bedroom was the first and largest of rooms and, to no surprise, was the pinnacle of excess and lavishness. Embroidered curtains draped down the wide windows. Silken mahogany sheets of Ortesian origin laid spread on the bed. A beautiful statue of Arenade lood over them from the center of the room.

But the high elf herself wasn't anywhere to be seen. At least not until splashing water alerted them to a door left ajar at one end of the room. Arenade must be taking a bath.

As they approached, however, her voice echoed out from within and followed by the repetitious sound of… shlicking. Kanae and Alicia exchanged knowing glances, because it was obvious what that sounded like.

"Nnh… Dirty goblins… Keep your hands off … ahh… mmmh… I'm royalty. Divinity. My body is a temple… not ant to be tainted… and yet I… I'm being defiled… I'm being defiled!" Arenade moaned out loud.

They creeped right up to the door and peered in.

Arenade was sitting on the marble tile floor, with only her legs dipped into the pool of steaming water. She held a green dildo in one hand, penetrating herself. The other held another dildo, also green, which she licked in a trance.

"I'm cumming on your disgusting dicks… I'm cumming— aaaahhhhh!" Arenade climaxed hard, and her fluttering eyes landed firmly on Kanae and Alicia.

"Well, well, well. You've been a naughty high elf," Kanae teased.

All the blood drained from Arenade's face. She dove into the bath, hiding both dildos under the water's surface.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN HERE?!" Arenade cried.

"Bright Cloister's been looking for you, so I ca to find you for them. You've been missing for a week. Little did I realize, you were in here this entire ti, fantasizing about getting gangbanged by goblins!" Kanae erupted into laughter.

"It's nothing to be ashad of, Arenade." Alicia giggled into her hand. "The Queen-Mother had a phase where she enjoyed the company of a harem of goblins, too. They can be quite animalistic, but their desperation for sex is also rather charming."

She was on the brink of crying. "You're mistaken! I-I'm not into goblins! Guuhhh… GET OUT AND LET GET DRESSED!"

Kanae and Alicia helped themselves to Arenade's enormous collection of wine from the display cabinet, which stretched the length of the room. Not just wine, but also Ortesian whiskey, spirits from Savir, Talahuran gin, and more.

The high elf took a lot longer to erge from the bath than they expected. Kanae figured she was preparing herself to be poked fun of and make up a believable excuse. Finally, Arenade ca out at last in a fuzzy white bathrobe, still deeply red in the face.

"So, goblins, huh? Did what happened at Parn Park flip a switch or sothing?" Kanae asked smugly.

"Kuh. For your information, I haven't done anything with goblins since then! But I can't for the life of stop thinking about it… Every night, my nightmares are full of them waving their dicks at . My body gets so hot, too. To make things worse, that horny sensation from when we swapped bodies in Faerealm flares up from ti to ti! Ugh! Gim that!" Arenade snatched the entire wine bottle from the table to take a long swig.

"Swapped bodies?" Alicia arched her brow.

Arenade was still drinking. She got down to half a bottle now.

"We helped a hag nad Quella in Faerealm. Her Trickery activated on us and swapped our bodies for a little while. Arenade got a taste of being a succubus. Hey, quit drinking! You're going to get alcohol poisoning. Cast Detoxify on yourself!" Kanae wrestled the bottle away, but it was already empty.

"Waaaahhh! I need help! Make forget before I end up throwing myself to goblins!" Arenade grabbed Kanae by the shoulders and shook violently.

"What's so bad about it? How about we fuck it out of your system instead? We'll get a group of goblins together for you. Won't be hard since you seem to be popular among them. I'll even join you," she suggested.

"NO! That sounds like a stupid idea!" The high elf threw herself into bed and hid underneath the sheets, then poked her head out. "Will… Will that really work?"

Alicia thought for a mont and said, "The dwarves created sex automatons with similar likeness to elves and humans. Perhaps they can be made with the likeness of goblins. Think of it not as having sex with goblins, but using the automatons like one uses dildos and other sex toys."

Arenade hadn't retreated back into the sheets yet, so it seed like she wasn't entirely opposed to the idea.

"Basically glorified sex dolls. While I'd love Sexy Sli Goods to start producing sex automatons, we don't exactly have the sa factories or know-how to create them. Actually, maybe Eliza has the schematics sowhere. We brought back a whole lot of stuff the last ti we went. What do you think, Arenade? Maybe you can get your rocks off enough to function." Kanae gave her the floor.

"Th-This isn't about wanting to have sex with goblins, alright! Don't you dare mistake ! But if you make one… I suppose I won't say no to it…" Arenade murmured.

"Perfect. Now get back to Bright Cloister and clear things up. They ford a mob earlier, and you're the only one who can placate them," she said.

"You're right. You're right! I am the only one who can placate them. They are my followers after all. I'll set Bright Cloister back on the straight and narrow, to praise and worship Demigoddess Arenade as all should, and lead them to greater heights unheard!" The high elf fell into a rallying oration to the only two people in the room.

The only thought that crossed Kanae's mind was that Arenade didn't learn a thing from all this. She sprung from the bed, only for several more green dildos to roll out from under the sheets. They clattered across the ground and silenced her speech.

They eyed her judgingly. Arenade must have gotten a servant to buy all of them or sothing. At any rate, she finally agreed to co out and et with the growing cult again. Kanae and the Sisters of Sin walked Alicia back to her room, then paid a visit to the sorceress.

Elizabeth Bedlam had a good laugh when Kanae explained the reason for the visit. Fortunately, as a scholar and academic, she was also intrigued.

"I'm sure the thod of manufacturing a dwarven sex automation is sowhere in my tower. The issue is that, as you suspected, we do not possess the sa tools or machinations as their factories do," Eliza explained.

"I was afraid that was the case. I guess I can Charm a goblin to fuck Arenade, and pay him off to keep quiet. Goblins aren't exactly known to stay silent about their sexual conquests though…" Kanae recalled all the tis she laid with them.

"Oh, I'm sure. Anyway, we have no capacity to forge a sex automation. There is another way. In the highest level of alchemy, there is sothing called a simulacrum. Simulacra are imitations of life, but they are soulless more closely resembling golems. For ethical and moral concerns, Radevic outlawed its study and practice. The Commonwealth has not." Her lips creased with a wide smile.

Kanae started to see where Eliza was going with this.

"The Commonwealth hasn't had an issue with simulacrums yet. And I'll give any way to lure Arenade down the path of sexual corruption a try. What do you need?" Kanae asked eagerly.

Eliza stuck the pipe into her mouth to applaud. "Good of you to ask! It warms my heart to have such an ambitious apprentice. First, we need a lot of sli monsters. Alive. Preferably equal parts blue and green. They will serve as the body. Second, a pile of bones without a soul in them. The absent soul is important. We do not want to infuse a soul and simulacrum together. Third, spores of a fast growing species of fungi. I'll handle that. Last, we require the fecund womb of a dryad or alraune with which to propagate it."

"This already sounds like a lot of trouble… But for the sake of knocking Arenade down a peg and getting her addicted to sex, there's no challenge I won't take! Maybe I can get her to finally disband Bright Cloister before they get out of control…" she said.
