"We have bases here. We can't just leav-" Before Bertram could finish his statement, Ashley raised her hand. "Does it look like I care?! Just scurry off like the cockroaches that you are!"
"Very well." Bertram mused as he gritted his teeth and excused himself. "Pack it all in, were leaving." His voice reigned through the air. The trio watched as the church members left, hoping in their boats before sailing far out into the waters.
As the carracks were making their way back to Sablestone, one of the members walked up to Bertram and posed a question. "So what will we tell the Saintess?" Bertram shrugged it off.
"What? We will just tell them that Miss Ashley wanted us off it. If she wants to solve it, then she should have made her way here to this damned island." He mused as he looked at the path ahead.
Sevyn watched the boats fade far into the horizon before her sights laid back onto Andrew. "Those were disciples of the Saintess, issued here to investigate the matters of the island and the crack."
Even she had to show some form of respect to her after all the situation proved that the church was a strong means of keeping those damned creatures at bay.
Thus a small frown was evident on her face with how they were treated by Ashley. Sure she knew that the Saintess would be displeased by this however her hands were tied.
"As for your somewhat eternal patience, I'll reveal your present to you." Andrew started off to which Ashley perked up. "What do you mean 'somewhat'? I've been perfectly disciplined and patient with you!" She refuted the accusations shot at her.
"Hahaha! Okay Ash. Cover your eyes, both of you." Andrew mused as he walked a little far off. Ashley could still sense that he was around, just that he was a little far off.
*Snap*
Hearing the first snap, she immediately tried to probe with her senses however she encountered a problem. There was a wall preventing her from doing so.
"It won't be a surprise if you can tell what it was, now will it?" She heard Andrew's voice to which a cheeky smile appeared on her lips. Sevyn was baffled with what he was going to present to Ashley.
*Snap*
Another snap shortly followed which made the two all the more curious. Ashley could barely contain herself as she asked, "Ugh! Is it ready yet?" Her figure making small tilts with her toes, eager to see what he was planning.
"I thought that you were a master of discipline and patience." Andrew's voice rang through the air which Ashley brushed off. She felt Andrew's finger run through her face, heading towards her fingers which obstructed her vision before he whispered in her ears.
"You can open your eyes." He gently lowered her hands and to her utter surprise, a look of shock and joy washed upon her face. Sevyn also opened her eyes only to feast on something she hadn't expected to see.
A grand and majestic house was laid in full splendor for her to witness. It had a blend of modernity which was well complimented with a hint of medievalism. It was a villa which spanned around for a couple of miles however with the blend of the time, it came off as a chateau.
From where they were, they had yet to see where it came to it's end however Ashley was too eager to investigate as her arms crushed Andrew's figure in a loving hug. "Oh, thank you! My Andy!" She mused before her eyes landed back to the place.
The perfectly trimmed hedges, the bold landscapes that came into view which was all the more complimented with the sea side made it all the more majestic.
The villa in its full majesty had a clash of white with a hint of greyness which further added to its charm. Andrew held Ashley's hand in a gentleman like manner as he proposed.
"Would you like a tour?" She laid her hand in his as they made their way into the villa. As they arrived at the gate, a holographic figure appeared in a butler like uniform. It had a tint of richness in not only literature but also class as he spoke.
"Welcome, Miss Ashley and Miss Sevyn. My name is Renarion." He stood right outside the villa before ushering them in. The beautiful pearly gates opened with his gesture which welcomed the three into the villa.
"Oh!" Ashley squealed in excitement as she broke free from Andrew's grasp and charged into it. Renarion had a calm and aloof expression about him as he saw this.
A tour shortly followed as they were exposed to the beautiful tropical beach that was in full display, the pools present in the villa not to mention the beautiful view that was present.
Several other androids were present as they went about their jobs which was a stark contrast to Sevyn's castle. Her place had the charm of medievalism however this place clashed between the past and the present in a beautiful and wonderful manner.
The numerous rooms present were something was high in abundance along with the recreational activities that were present for them to indulge in. From swimming, all kinds of games with a huge arcade present and other games as well.
A track had been formed which went deep into the jungle which Sevyn noted that it didn't seem as lifeless as before. The flora seemed to grow back while the fauna had yet to make a return however that was a matter of time.
The trip ended with them back at the main lobby which was huge in itself. Overall the whole villa was equal to Sevyn's castle if not bigger than hers. "I hope that everything is to your liking."
Renarion mused coolly as he saw the three of them taking a seat. Ashley was beyond pleased which was already evident with the smile on her face as Sevyn was rather thrilled with what she saw.
The lobby was packed with all kinds of modern furniture and all kinds of electronics all over the place. "Miss Ashley, please follow me." Renarion added on which took her by surprise.
"A little surprise I have for you." Andrew whispered in her ears to which an eager smile emerged on her face. She shot up as her figure disappeared from the room.
All kinds of treats were laid out for them to delve in however none of them seemed interested. The table that housed all of it disappeared hazed off as a map was replaced.
It revealed the entire map of all the mainland which was a surprise to Sevyn. "Let's discuss business, Sevyn. With your kingdom ever so close to the shore, it will no doubt bear the brunt of the attacks of the demons."
"Thus I want you to pick a kingdom and take over it. The better situated it is within the mainland, the more favorable for you and your people." Sevyn knew what he meant.
She was a little hesitant at first, wondering what her plan would be but now, it would seem that she didn't need to bother herself so much on the matter. Her eyes roamed the entire map, her brain racking which place to conquer.
'The deeper the better however there is a slight problem. Aewdwen despite its proper location is a kingdom that will put up too much resistance thanks to Leopold, Nemorosa is too far off, Briarvale isn't that properly situated...'
Andrew took pleasure as he noted how she tried to rack her brains as he waited for her answer. "I have it. Her finger landed on a kingdom that wasn't that far off from Aewdwen, it was Miragestia.
"The kingdom is slowly losing to Aewdwen as they have offered way too much to them not to mention with the close distance to Aewdwen, military support is all the more present. However they won't easily lose thanks to their special ability."
Miragestia was under the rule of Ignatius, a goblin that was on the sixth tier whilst on the fourth array. What made him a problem to tackle that made even Leopold hesitant was his special skill.
He was a master when it came to the art of mirages, able to confuse and confound his enemies. Sure for a tier seven they would have tricks on peering through such tricks however another factor was their numbers.
"Sure they may be descending in terms of power and ranking however military wise is one of the few factors that keeps them on the map. If I were able to deal with his skill then taking over wouldn't be a problem."
Andrew looked at Miragestia. It was in a proper location, far away from the shores and close enough to some powerful kingdoms such as Aewdwen which could prove useful if they became allies.
"I wouldn't stop you from taking over Aewdwen." Andrew joked and Sevyn could feel his tease with his tone. "I don't want to bite off more than I can chew with this. After all the future of Sablestone lays within my hands."
Andrew found this front rather amusing. "Very well. I'll respect your decision and help you in my own way however you should know that you are racing against time here."
"Such a matter should be dealt with before this month is over. A direct assault would take too much time along with other tactics." He mused as he clutched his chin, as if falling into thought however he already had a plan to deal with Miragestia.
"I'm ready!!" The sound of Ashley's voice rang and looking at the source, Sevyn was speechless as she saw her. Her clothes were gone only to be replaced with something she hadn't thought she would see her wear.
She was dressed in a black and white maid uniform which barely covered her body, greatly exposing her skin. "Miss Ashley?!" She wondered in shock however the subject didn't seemed fazed.
"Yes, Sevyn?" She asked as she did a small twirl of her body. Her back was fully exposed as the skirt she was in exposed her undergarments. It was a lewd scene in general.
Realizing what was about to ensue, Sevyn stood up. "It has been a grateful experience to meet you Andrew however it would seem that I will take my leave."
Before she could make a step out of the room, Ashley posed as she made her way to Sevyn. "Sevyn, I think that you should stay and help out." By the time she was done, she stood right in front of Sevyn who seemed a little tense.
Andrew found this whole situation absurd as he knew where it was going. 'So she finally realized it but I wanted her to come to such a conclusion.' He mused as he continued to watch the cinema unfold.
Sevyn felt Ashley's fingers run across her face before finally landing on her back. The two were extremely close to each others face before Sevyn felt a light pressure press against her lips.
"Chuu~"
Ashley gave her a light kiss which took her by surprise. 'Miss actually kissed me?' Her brain seemed flustered as it tried to come to such terms. She felt Ashley trail her fingers all over her body and before she knew it, she was in her undergarments.
Her face was flushed as she didn't seemed bothered in her current state.
*Clip*
The sound of her bras was undone before falling to the ground exposing her plump breasts which brushed against Ashley's beneath her maid outfit. They were slightly bigger than hers to which she felt a tinge of disappointment however she brushed it aside.
Ashley then guided her before the two stood right in front of Andrew's figure which was laid in the couch. A playful smile appeared on his face as he was eager for the next to unfold.
Andrew stood upright as Sevyn was guided to her knees thanks to Ashley. "Don't you think that you should pay respect to your lord?" Ashley's voice whispered in her ears to which a slight chill ran down her spine.
She felt Ashley's teeth faintly bite her ears as her figure was on the same level as hers. "I understand. I'll try to please you to my fullest." She mused as her hands stretched towards Andrew's pants.
