"It's been another hard day."
I walked down the corridor leading back to my room. I was absolutely drained from all the work I had to do. I returned after finishing the paperwork that had been brought in. Some of the departments had delayed the documents that were supposed to be done this evening. The remaining work had poured in. Furthermore, I was asked to handle it on the same day, which is absurd.
"I really feel like I'm being taken lightly. The Japanese tendency to not say no is taking its toll... I wonder if it's okay to say no more forcefully." I said aloud.
If the problem were to stagnate, there would be a lot of people in trouble. It takes a lot of courage to say, "No!" It's hard to change such small-mindedness even if I'm king now. Is it really okay for the king to be that unreliable?
"Well, it's too late for that. Even if I vent about my weaknesses, there's no one to listen."
"I'll listen to you, master." Echoed a voice from ahead.
I opened the door as I heard the voice. I was greeted by a girl sitting on the edge of the open window. Her silver hair glistened in the moonlight as she turned and smiled at me. It was Emilia.
"Welcome back... Thank you for your hard work, Subaru."
I was rendered speechless by her words of encouragement. It was partly because her visit at night was unexpected, and partly because of the healing effect of her smile. However, as I locked eyes with her the smile began to drift away.
"What's wrong Mili?"
"It's nothing..." She muttered.
She turned away from me and then to the view outside the open window. Another breeze passed, the streets and buildings of Lugunica shining brightly. I walked over to her and wrapped my arms around her. We embraced in a soft hug, the view stretching out in front of us.
"It's okay Mili, you can talk to me." I pried.
She said nothing. Instead, tears began to drip down from her sunken eyes. I reached my hand upward and wiped them away.
"Do you remember way back when I was just a frail boy... How you lent me your lap so I could cry my troubles away?" I murmured.
Emilia shook her head from side to side.
"That really helped me, Mili. I was going through a tough time back then. My goals were very different-" I started.
As I talked I remembered who I used to be. I recalled the boy that would do anything to save others. The boy that would trade his life for just a day of laughing with his loved ones. Whatever happened to that boy...?
"Sorry, I just- I want you to know that I'm here for you Mili. Forever and ever." I declared.
She turned me, her eyes sunken with tears. She fell against my chest while sniffling. An expression of shock filled my face, only for it to subside. I held her frail body close against my chest. Emilia sobbed and sobbed, her tears being drowned into my shirt. I stroked her hair and smiled. My gaze fell upon the moon which hung over Lugunica. She then finally spoke.
"I'm sorry Subaru- I don't mean to question your actions it's just... I can't help but think about it... Was it really a good idea for me to drop out of the royal selection?"
"What do you mean Mili?"
"I joined so I could unfreeze my family in the forest... So I could save the elves stuck there... That was all I wanted and yet- I lost my way. I got caught up in so much that my goal became clouded and forgotten."
A sense of anguish washed over me. Her words described exactly how I felt about myself.
"It's been rough, hasn't it Mili?" I whispered.
Her eyes widened, her emotions pouring out of her.
"It was rough... I didn't realize I was in so much pain until the burden had been lifted from my shoulders... I'm just so terrified- It hurts... It hurts so much I think I might die. I don't know what to do with myself now that I'm not a royal candidate...! All it took was for you to ask me to drop the election and I did it in a heartbeat... It- It's the truth. I'm weak. I honestly had never tried so hard to do anything in my entire life...! Yet I gave it all up without even thinking! Because I love them so much! I love my family and I hate myself every day for forgetting about that love...!"
She continued weeping into my chest.
"It's okay Emilia, It's okay..." I whispered.
I stroke her hair until she had let it all out.
"Don't worry Emilia. I'll help unfreeze the elves in the forest. You don't have to worry about a thing now that I'm the ruler of Lugunica."
She looked up at me with her watery eyes.
"Do you really mean it...?"
"Of course," I replied.
"That might not be such a good idea." Bellowed a voice from behind us.
We both turned our heads to see a lengthy woman in an onyx black dress. Silver hair poured down her back. She grinned. It was Echidna.
"When did you get here?" I asked.
"You won't have time to unfreeze the elves Subaru." She said as she ignored me.
Emilia began crying again.
"Echidna what are you talking about?!" I shouted.
She sat down on my bed, a decrepit grin plastered on her face.
"Reinhard is making preparations to kill you. This time he'll do anything it takes to stop you."
"So Reinhard is still alive...?" I questioned.
"Yes. To tell you the truth I knew he was alive this whole time."
I stood up, my hands instantly forming into fists. My eyes burned a dark black hue as I stepped toward her.
"What do you mean you knew?"
"I sent him to the shadow garden." She chuckled.
The air then fell stagnant. My mind boiled with anger. It was as if the room were tilting and twisting as hatred coursed through me.
"What is the shadow garden...?" I questioned.
Echidna cupped her hands together as she pondered my question.
"It's a place where Satella- the witch of envy-, whatever you want to call her, resides. I sent Reinhard there on purpose. He became corrupted by her and escaped. Just like I predicted."
"You did what?!" I screamed.
Emilia flinched at the volume of my voice. My fist had swung into the side of the wall and created a large dent. Echidna stood unphased.
"I did it because I wanted to know what would happen. This knowledge is useful after all. Plus, I'll discover more interesting things by watching the two of you fight."
I sighed and tried to calm myself down. I pressed my fingers into the temples of my eyes and tried breathing slowly but calmly.
"You're still the same witch..." I muttered.
I turned over to Emilia.
"Once I'm done dealing with Reinhard I'll unfreeze the elves in the forest, I promise-"
"But you won't." Said Echidna.
She stood up from the bed and placed a hand on my shoulder.
"Quit pretending like you're the old Subaru who cares about everyone and is so selfless. You're a different person now. You have no interest in unfreezing the elves because it doesn't benefit you in any way."
My eyes began to tremble as she whispered into my ear.
"You don't know me Echidna! Quit acting out of line or I'll have you banished from the kingdom! Or worse I'll-"
"You'll what? You'll kill me in this mortal form, Subaru? I doubt that. I see it in your eyes. You think like me now. You see everyone as pieces in a game of chess. You need me. Because I have information that can aid you in your quest for power."
"But I..."
I couldn't think of anything to say. Because in a way, she was right. I'm no longer the old Subaru who'd die over and over for everyone else. Echidna wrapped her arms around me, her fingers gently sliding along my face. She touched my features like I was a prized treasure, like she wanted to know what every crevice in her gem felt like. Emilia continued to sob and weep in front of me.
"Use your power..." Whispered Echidna.
"But-"
"Use it. Make her obey you."
"I shouldn't-" I whimpered.
Echidna's hand slid down to wrap around my crotch. She tenderly clenched the spot between my legs.
"Use your power."
My eyes flickered to a black shade. Emilia's crying began to cease as she stared into my eyes.
"From- from now on... You will forget your family ever existed..."
I began to shake, my teeth chattering. Echidna's body was cold. I had done some awful things before... But this just felt cruel.
"The only thing... The only thing you will care about now is serving and pleasuring me." I ordered.
Emilia's tears stopped. Instantly, a smile formed on her face. Her eyes were still watery but she perked up in a happy manner.
"Oh Subaru! There you are... How can I serve you, my master?"
"I um-"
I hated moments like this. Over the past month, every now and then the girls would remember parts of who they were. I'd have to order them with my power to forget these bits and pieces of themselves. Until they were completely obedient.
"Were you thinking about something weird just now?" Questioned Emilia.
Echidna laughed.
"Go on... Have some fun with us." She whispered into my ear.
"I was thinking... Emilia, you smell so good. Can I push you down onto the bed and have some fun?"
"No, no. I have to bathe first. I just got back from outside..." She replied.
Emilia stood up and walked across the room. She combed her silver hair while smiling blankly. It was almost unsettling, staring at the empty smile on her face. It was like she was a husk of who she used to be.
"By the way, today should be your rest day. Ferris told me that if you don't let yourself sleep alone occasionally, you'll surely die an early death. Echidna, you better leave too if you want Subaru to be healthy. This is a night for his body to rest."
"Then you can't stay with me longer?" I probed.
Emilia looked at me in a worrisome manner. She sighed.
"Echidna's not going to leave, is she? So if I leave, you'll still be having sex, won't you?"
"Correct!" Exclaimed Echidna.
"I'm a man who does what he says he's going to do. So if I say I'm going to do something, I do it." I affirmed.
"I'm sorry, I don't know what you're talking about anymore."
"I don't know what's going on with me either, but I want to say that um... You can trust me, Mili. Will you stay in bed with me?"
Emilia muttered with a disappointed look.
"You're such a naughty boy... You're always fooling around with all the girls..."
Although Emilia appeared to have not changed much... I could tell that she now only talked about problems concerning me. She didn't think about herself anymore.
"I think it's time to get into bed... Mili, will you wrap yourself around me and goof off?" I laughed.
"I'm tired too, and I want to be with you but..."
She sighed.
"I understand. I'll snuggle up with you."
"Good choice." Chimed Echidna.
Emilia and Echidna then held out their hands with an elegant gesture. I grabbed their hands as if I was escorting them to a dance. Their shining bodies were pulled into the bed with me. The two girls cuddled up against me. We embraced each other, a moment of silence washing over the room.
"Hey Subaru..." Started Emilia.
"Hmm?"
"...I love you."
After saying that, she buried her face into a pillow. Her feet kicked up and down as if she were embarrassed.
"Emilia..."
"Subaru, you said you'd be patient to fool around-"
I covered my lips with her lips and expressed my love for the silver girl. Emilia, who had resisted at first, gradually gave in.
"Subaru you dummy." She said with a hint of embarrassment.
I kissed Emilia warmly and then turned to Echidna and kissed her. Their tongues reached out and licked the sides of my face lustfully. Their hands groped and grabbed at my body with immense force. I held both their heads in my arms and forced their mouths against mine one by one, making them take turns to passionately interlock their tongues with mine. It didn't take to long for my pants to be taken off and my private part to be revealed before them. Echidna buried her chest against the right of my penis, Emilia perking her boobs up against the left.

Their fingers poked and grazed the tip of my penis, their plump breasts smooshing against it. I slid up and down between their cleavage as they bounced and shook their boobs.
"That's it Subaru! You can do it!"
"More Subaru! More!"
They stretched out their tongues and began licking my penis intensely.

Emilia crawled atop me and rubbed her ass along my skin. Her panties were damp and crooked, her smooth legs rubbing against each other. She took off the rest of her clothes and sat atop my face. Her shining plump butt smooshed against my head as the tight and moist space filled my vision. She rubbed back and forth as my tongue reached up to lick her insides.
"Ohhhh Subarru!! That's it! Touch me more there!"
Echidna then giggled as her pudgy thighs wrapped around my waist. My penis perked up as it began to throb.
"You're so naughty Subaru... I'll satisfy your urges for you..."
Echidna slipped her ass over my penis, her legs squeezing me tightly. My hands reached upward to squeeze Emilia's breasts. She moaned as she squirmed atop my face. A sticky fluid dripped down from between her thighs and into my mouth. My tongue slathered across her private spot, the sound of Echidna's ass cheeks clapping ringing into my ears. Echidna continued to bounce up and down on my penis, Emilia squeezing against my face. I bit my lip as I could feel a surge cum about to leak out from me. Emilia pressed her vagina against me as hard as possible, the air escaping from my lungs as her thighs choked my face. Echidna's hands ran down her back and to the shaft of my penis, pushing and sliding it into herself with great force. I grit my teeth as a blast of sperm was about to leak out. But before it could, Echidna relinquished herself.
"Let's switch places..." Panted Emilia.
Echidna's immense butt descended down onto my face, Emilia slipping her mouth over my member right as a burst of cum splattered out. I gasped for air only for Echidna's wet thighs to suffocate me. Emilia smiled as my semen dripped down her face. She shoved my private into her mouth and sucked with as much force as she could muster. Her tongue coddled and twisted around my shaft, her wobbling cleavage smooshing against my waist. Echidna's enormous cheeks trembled and quaked. They slapped against each other as she thrust her ass upward and downward onto me. I could only breathe in short spurts before her dripping wet butt would then smother me again. My member then twitched as it slid against the back of Emilia's throat, her hands sliding along my chest in a loving manner. With one final jolt, I let out another string of cum into Emilia. She looked up at me with watery eyes, the sperm filling her mouth. I watched as she then swallowed it all one go.
