Silence reigned for a moment as Naeku sank into reluctant thought. Though neither of them now looked at Nora and Anne, their omnisense still gave them a sense of everything within the room.

Erik’s servants had completely lost their composure. Their faces were twisted in need, desperation, and pleasure. Drool dribbled down their lips as they couldn’t control their own desire or moans. Though tremors constantly rocked their bodies, they kept their legs open, despite Erik tormenting them by pressing his foot against the base of the vibrators inserted in their drooling cunts.

It wasn’t often that he treated them with such harsh disregard... yet their expressions showed just how much they loved it.

Finally, Naeku’s difficult expression relaxed. "Fine..." she sighed. "Though... Though I still have my reservations, I do think the good things about this cult outweigh the bad." Frowning, she finally turned to look at Nora and Anne again. "But, I do have some issues I want you to look at."

"A-Annnything, M-Mistresss...!" Nora cried out, eyes filled with desperate submission—ready to do or say anything, if it means she’ll be allowed to cum.

A blush spread on Naeku’s cheeks again. Seeing them in this state and hearing their words would have been mortifying to her not too long ago... but now, she felt excited... and she wasn’t sure what to think of it.

She shook her head and focused, then started explaining her ideas. As she did, Erik watched her with a genuine grin.

It didn’t take her long to finish the list she’d built in her mind. There weren’t any big, sweeping changes she proposed, more simple things to improve the lives of everyone—including appointing an actual councillor to talk to people like Neema. As for the perverted nature that tainted every single aspect of this cult... she didn’t feel like she had any moral footing to stand on, considering her own actions.

"Heard all that, girls?" Erik asked the two of them, eyebrow cocked with amusement at their state.

"Y-Yeessss!" Anne rapidly nodded, voice trembling and filled with lust. "I-It will be d-doooone! S-So, please?!"

Erik turned to Naeku again, an obvious question in his amused expression.

Naeku pouted and turned her gaze away. "I-I mean... yeah, of course they can... you know... cum..."

Their faces immediately lit up. Yet, they first turned their hopeful expressions towards Erik, as he was the only one with a key to their mind.

Erik chuckled and looked at them. "Well, you can count yourself lucky that she’s far too lenient..." He glanced at Naeku. "Though, maybe learn to be sterner if she accepts my offer."

Naeku blushed a little deeper, but didn’t react. Rather, she turned towards the door and began to leave. "Go and reward them, I... I need a breath of fresh air. I’ll wait for you out front..."

Erik smiled gently. His bond with her told him there wasn’t a problem per se, but she really just needed a moment to think. When she was gone, he grinned and turned to his servants. With a snap, his clothes disappeared mere minutes after he’d dressed himself. "Well... looks like I have two very good girls to reward..."

Half an hour later, Erik left the room as he fixed his clothes. Behind him, three women were strewn about the room, all in various states of unconsciousness, but each with blissful grins. Fluids of all kinds stuck to their twitching bodies.

Still in the doorway, he looked behind him with a satisfied smile. "Oh, I almost forgot. I want to take the new girl with me when I leave to travel a bit in a few days. Send her to me when you’re done with her."

Nora just barely had the presence of mind left to nod weakly. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

With that, the door closed, and Erik left. He didn’t meet anyone on his way out. After leaving the building, he looked around, but there was no sign of Naeku.

He cocked an eyebrow, but didn’t worry immediately. He just consulted his bond with her, and soon looked in a particular direction. "Ah," he smiled softly, knowing just where she was.

A few minutes later, he sank down to sit on the edge of a gallery at the top of one of the many circular living towers that dotted the Enkarian cityscape. Not just any tower, however. No, this was the tower Naeku showed him on one of their dates, standing on the exact geographical location of Naeku’s home before this city appeared.

"Am I intruding?" he asked, his voice genuine as he glanced at Naeku beside him. "Would you like a moment alone?"

Naeku, who’d not reacted to his arrival, smiled lightly, then leaned over to put her head on his shoulder. "Being with you is always better than being alone..." she whispered lovingly. "I just came here to avoid the ’Wulfs’ leaving the building."

Erik smiled with a hint of relief, then put his arm around her shoulders. "Strong words. You do remember I’m the guy corrupting not only you, but your family, and now your people?"

Naeku giggled delightfully, not taking her eye off the skyline. "Hehe, I’m not sure if my aunt counts as the entirety of my family..." Then she cocked a playful eyebrow. "Unless there’s something I need to know about my dad?"

A complicated expression passed over Erik’s face. "Well... truthfully... Just like you, I think he was inwardly yearning for a stern hand, so I—"

"Shut up, idiot!" Naeku giggled loudly, taking her eyes off the city to punch his side. "You didn’t do shit! You’re practically allergic to the bodies of other men!"

His expression melted as he chuckled. "Hehe, fine. I hadn’t gotten that far yet."

Naeku laughed and pressed herself a little harder into his side. "Hahaha! And you never will! I love that you’re open-minded enough to joke about this, but you can’t fool me!"

"Alright, alright!" Erik cried out in surrender, throwing up his arms before placing one around her shoulder again. "But..." he continued with a mischievous grin. "What about my mother, though? She didn’t want to join his harem, but she’s got her eye on him, and... she’s basically a more experienced, female version of myself."

Naeku’s smile froze. Her eyebrow twitched. "T-That... S-So what do you think will happen...?"

Grinning, Erik leaned a little closer and used his other hand to push her chin up a little, forcing her to look into his eyes as their faces hovered mere inches from each other. "I think that, after my mother breaks through to the third rank, it won’t be long before your father and even his wives look at her the same way you look at me. Then, the subjugation and corruption of your family will essentially be complete... how do you feel about that?"
