Chapter 326: Love And Jealousy
Feeling the roughness of the horns on her fingers while Liliyana flinched with her eyes shut, Rose confirmed her doubts and turned her gaze to Amedith.
"W-where did you find her?" She asked, her lips awkwardly stuck between a fearful grimace and frantic laughs from the absurdity of the situation.
"A dark dungeon underneath a Lamia colony, we had to fight the queen while he was being guided by the goddess to get her out of that place," Raven interjected since Ameidth was too hesitant to respond.
"You did what?!" Even more baffled as she heard what they had to go through, Rose turned her gaze to Raven, however, as soon as she saw him, she was reminded of her night with him from a while back. Blushing in an instant, she shook her head before looking away.
"I knew this wouldn't work…" Meanwhile, moving into a corner, Liliyana moped to herself, her arms and legs squeezed tightly towards her chest. Rocking back and forth while sniffling, she created a cocoon from conjured wings around her body. Isolating herself from everyone else, the devil fae shrieked with her voice muffled against her knees.
Even so, it didn't mask her cries completely. But then she felt it, a warm touch on her spine that spread comfort like a wave washing over her body. Her wings unfolded to the touch on their own, and her mind stopped racing. Halting her sniffling as well, she reluctantly turned, her eyes already bloodshot with worry.
"Devil or not, if you two love each other, who am I to stop you?" Rose whispered as soon as their eyes met.
Dating Raven openly at this point, she had no right to hold her son from dating whom he wanted as well. Recognizing that above anything else, she beamed Liliyana a smile before grabbing her by the arm and pulling her into a warm embrace.
"You're both cry babies, so let's hold off the wedding for a few more years, alright?" Hurling some humor to ease the tension, Rose began caressing Liliyana's hair while squeezing her tight. "I'm sorry about how I reacted, it was…a bit of a surprise you know? Ahaha~"
Hearing her say those words, followed by her actions, Liliyana couldn't believe how quickly things had shifted, thus her mind struggled to catch up to what had happened. But eventually, as she did, her face buried itself against Rose's shoulder, all the while, her lover's mother caressed her hair to comfort her.
Letting the moment last for a while, Raven allowed the trio to mingle for a bit. The carriage had come to a stop a while ago, but amidst their discussion, they hadn't caught up with that fact at all. However, finally, as Liliyana was seen smiling and Rose teased Amedith about having a granddaughter, Raven interjected to get everyone out of the carriage.
"Whose house is this?" Asked Brenna, the moment her foot touched the ground.
"Helga the barbarian, Raven already told you, remember? We saw her a few times walking her daughter to school," Aerin responded, her eyes darting across the structure before landing on a furry white dog standing guard.
Its tail held high in alarm from seeing so many unfamiliar faces, Cerberus growled at the group, his teeth flashing with biting intent. Aerin tried to walk closer, but as the dog continued to growl she was forced to stand still on her spot.
"Want me to tie him up with vines?" Melicia suggested, glancing sideways at Raven, her fingers already tingling to turn the beast upside down.
It had been a while since she'd had a chance to shine, and despite subduing a dog wouldn't be much of an accomplishment, she wanted to take the chance and show off in front of her man. Unfortunately for her, however, Erika decided to take action while she was held hanging for an answer.
"Water splash," casting a water spell on the dog, Erika splashed it with a pool of cold water. Squealing like a pup, the beast pounced around frantically in an attempt to quickly dry itself off.
"Now, to disarm you…" Taking the chance to move closer, the priestess stretched her hand forward and turned the water on its body to warm steam. The sudden change in its temperature made the dog sink to the ground with a long toothy yawn.
"That was effective," Raven muttered, a bit impressed by the sight.
Instantly that compliment fueled jealousy in Melicia, but keeping that anger to herself for now, she only puffed up her cheeks and glared at the priestess. .net
'Why don't you show these party tricks at the church!' Halfway through the insult, her eyes lowered to the priestess's plentiful bosom.
"You big-titted bimbo!" Speaking out loud unintentionally, Mel quickly covered her mouth as everyone's head turned in her direction.
"B-big?!" Scowling Erika folded her hands to cover up her breasts, then shifting her eyes to Mel's chest, she retorted. "Grow yours instead of complaining!"
"Amen, ahaha~" Chuckled Asmodia through Erika's lips, inevitably making things worse for everyone involved.
Moving up close to each other, the two girls pit their foreheads together. Pushing each other back while grinding their teeth in anger, they tried to make the other fall, but the moment their breasts pressed tightly against each other, Erika's right hand subconsciously slapped Melicia.
"BLASPHEMY!" She screamed, not even knowing what for. Her instincts had taken over as they'd been religiously in overdrive since seeing Athenia's true form.
"YOU BITCH!" Caressing her face where Erika had struck, Mel was about to throw a slap of her own, and although Raven and the others were about to interject, the fight between the girls broke up before then.
"STOP CAUSING A SCENE IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE!" Appearing out of nowhere, bonked the quarreling two on their heads with her fist.
"EPP!"
"AHHHH! OUCHH!"
Needless to say, the fight came to an end after that.
