After waking up, Nero asked Emilia if she had a nightmare about her past or something, but she said she doesn't remember anything. She truly couldn't remember the dream, but she could tell it was a terrible nightmare.

Nero didn't want to pry much, so he just shrugged it off as one of the late-night episodes.

Laira knocked on their door, and she was surprised when she saw all three of them were in the same room— but what she was thinking was wrong.

——

Last night, Nero wanted to have a threesome with Emilia and Sophia, but they both denied saying, 'There is no way we are doing that.'. Nero tried to be persistent and kept asking them, but they never agreed.

After noticing Nero was sulking, they offered themselves but said he could do it with only one of them. Nero wanted to have a threesome, so he denied and later asked Emilia to suck his divine staff.

Emilia denied it at first as she would rather plunge that staff in her sacred place, but Nero only wanted to use Emila's mouth as it had been more than a day since Nero last fed her his essence. Emilia then asked Sophia to do it, but Sophia shrugged her shoulders and asked Emilia to deal with it.

Emilia reluctantly agreed— although it wasn't as if she hated doing that, but she just preferred to ride him rather than suck him.

When Emilia started sucking, Sophia could hear slurping sounds which disturbed her, and later— out of curiosity— she was forced to watch Emilia sucking Nero's staff.

Sophia shook her head in disbelief as what Emilia told her in the hot spring wasn't true. Emilia was making a delightful face while sucking Nero, and even though Nero released inside her mouth multiple times— in two hours— she drank every last drop of it wholeheartedly.

After that, they fell asleep in each other arms, and Emilia later woke up from the nightmare.

——

They went downstairs with Laira and ate breakfast, then prepared to leave for the capital.

Laira closed the inn and gave the keys to the guild— from where they met up with Elise and walked to the town's main gate.

When they reached the main gate, the guards stopped Sophia and asked her when she entered the town and checked the register. Sophia was summoned directly to the church, and her name wasn't added to the register.

Nero decided to kill the guards if they pried more, but Elise dealt with the matter, and it was settled.

Elise had arranged a carriage of two horses, and it was big enough for five people. Elise and Laira sat in the front as they were the only ones who knew the path, while Nero, Sophia, and Emilia were sitting on the back.

Nero was still somewhat upset because he didn't get to have a threesome, but he didn't give up. He was dead set on having a threesome sooner or later, but he knew it was impossible during their trip to the capital as Laira and Elise were also with them.

They had lunch on the carriage and later stopped at sunset to rest.

Five days passed by, and they had only reached 1/10th of their destination because the female horse was pregnant.

They would hunt animals and pick fruits from the tree to eat— though they had planned to drop by one of the big towns to get some supplies for the rest of their journey.

Nero would sneak out with Emilia and go into the forest for their daily night sessions when everyone fell asleep— though Laira was always awake and knew what Nero and Emilia were doing. She would stare in the direction Emilia and Nero would go and hear Emilia's moans.

A week passed since their departure from 'Astrared', but they hadn't made much progress from the last time.

"I don't think this horse can go any further; we need to let her free," Elise informed.

They got off the carriage and discussed what they should do now.

"This is why you never use female animals for traveling," Nero remarked.

"If we let her go, then there is no way only one horse can pull the carriage," Laira stated the obvious.

"What will we do now?" Emilia asked with an anxious look on her face.

Elise unhooked the pregnant horse while saying, "I will go to the nearest town and exchange the horse."

"How far is it?" Nero questioned.

"About one hour since I need to go by foot and walk the horse," Elise rubbed her hand on the horse's stomach and said, "I will also get some supplies from there."

"Are you sure you want to go alone?" Nero asked with a concerned look on his face.

"Will you come with me?"

"I can't even if I want to, and—" Nero was interrupted by the horse's aggressive neigh.

Nero raised his eyebrows and sighed, "They are a pair, so you will need to exchange both horses."

"I can't take both at once," Elise looked back and forth at Nero and Laira, "Someone will need to come with me."

Nero would have gone with her, but he couldn't leave Emilia alone. And Laira was feeling sick because of the spoiled fruit she ate in the morning. There was also an option of Nero and Emilia going, but neither of them had seen the town or knew the way there.

"I will go," Sophia volunteered herself and glanced at Nero to ask his permission.

"Take care," Nero nodded.

Sophia unhooked the other horse and walked away with Elise.

Laira stared at Nero but averted her gaze when Emilia noticed her looking at Nero.

"I will go get some fresh air as well as pick up some branches for lunch," Laira excused herself and walked into the forest.

"Don't go too deep!" Nero yelled and later let out a short sigh.

Emilia hugged Nero and looked up at his face as she buried her chin on his chest, "Are you tired?"

"I don't feel tired; I am just.. bored."

Emilia slowly smiled, then grinned, "I can entertain you."

After picking up some branches, Laira came back to see Nero and Emilia weren't there. But when she saw the carriage shaking, her face flushed.

'Are they…?' Laira shook her head as she thought, 'They are probably doing something else, and the carriage is shaking for some other reason.'

Laira walked closer to the carriage and heard Emilia's moans as her flushed face flushed even more.

'How can they do it in such broad daylight?'
