The World Is Mine For The Taking-Chapter 638 - 99 - To The Holy City (3)
We decided to spend the night at an inn. Fortunately, in this part of the kingdom, inns weren't just places for weary travelers to collapse. They also carried a distinct air of refinement and class. Unlike the rustic and often questionably maintained inns in the Principality of Cohona, the establishments here were designed with luxury in mind.
"Wow! It looks like an inn for royalty!" Titania gasped with wide, sparkling eyes, her voice carrying that rare blend of admiration and disbelief. Coming from her—a royalty herself—it meant something. She was the only one among us who had the actual experience to compare such luxury. But honestly, she wasn't wrong. The moment we stepped inside, the atmosphere alone screamed elegance. The ceiling stretched so high above us that it felt like the room was trying to touch the heavens, supported by massive, marble pillars carved with ornate designs.
Yr, true to form, had already drifted into slumber. She lay on one side, curled up just like a cat, her breathing soft and rhythmic. The peaceful rise and fall of her chest, combined with the way she hugged the pillow tightly, was almost adorable. I found myself admiring her—she had the uncanny ability to sleep anywhere, anytime, with zero effort. That kind of peace? I envied it.
We were all staying here tonight. All of us. Thankfully, the room came with two wide beds, which meant we didn't have to draw straws or argue about sleeping arrangements. Rose and the girls didn't voice any complaints, likely as surprised and impressed as I was by the room's quality. What did catch me off guard, however, was the room's name: "super deluxe." I hadn't given it much thought at first, assuming it was just a marketing gimmick. But after seeing the lavish design, it started to make a little more sense. It was undeniably... super fancy.
"We are going to stay here for the night and get some rest," I said, addressing everyone. "By tomorrow, we should be able to arrive there. And it won't take long. Judging by Rose's intel, I'd say we'll get there within an hour or two."
"I'm quite excited," Titania said, her voice calm but filled with a quiet joy. "I never imagined I'd get the opportunity to meet the nun who raised you, Leon."
That line made me pause for a moment. The truth was, the one who actually raised me had passed away just last year. She was a kind, elderly woman who'd cared for me during my early years. The woman at the orphanage now had only entered when I was about ten years old. But saying that out loud would've only dampened the mood, and honestly, there was no need to ruin the moment. So I kept it to myself.
"Well then, let's make sure we rest properly," I said, trying to keep things light. "Once we're fully recharged, we'll set off without delay."
I dropped myself onto one of the beds and immediately felt my body sink deep into the mattress. It was unbelievably soft—almost like falling into a cloud. The sensation of the bed molding itself to my body was comforting, yet slightly unnerving. I never hated soft beds, but sometimes when it was too soft, it started to feel like I was being swallowed whole. Still, after everything, I couldn't bring myself to complain.
Just as I was starting to drift, Titania's voice cut through the silence, laced with curiosity.
"I wonder what that is...?" she mused, her tone light but inquisitive.
I lifted my head slightly and followed her gaze. She was looking at a cabinet built into the wall. I hadn't paid it any attention until now—after all, we weren't planning on staying for long. But something about it had caught her interest.
"Let's see~, let's see~..." she said in a playful, sing-song tone as she made her way toward it with deliberate steps. Her long hair swayed behind her as she reached out, gripped the handle, and opened it slowly.
"Ah…"
"What is it?" Trill asked, tilting her head in curiosity as she leaned forward.
"W-Well…" Titania stammered, turning around with a flustered expression. Her cheeks were a vibrant shade of red, like she'd just walked in on something she wasn't supposed to see.
And in that instant, I knew exactly what was inside. I didn't even have to look.
"So that's why it's called super deluxe…" I muttered under my breath, realization settling in like a cold breeze. I turned my head slightly, now seeing things I hadn't noticed before.
It wasn't the luxurious ceiling or fancy furnishings that made this room "super deluxe." No. It was the hidden collection of erotic playthings subtly woven into the room's design. There was a pillory disguised as a decorative rack, a large x-cross that blended seamlessly with the bed's frame, a love chair tucked innocently in the corner, and a spanking bench that looked like a footrest. Even the wooden horses—elegantly carved—hid their true purpose behind aesthetics. The craftsmanship was cunning. Every piece looked like ordinary furniture at first glance, but now I saw them for what they truly were. They were tools of sexual play, designed masterfully to deceive the eye.
Trill wandered over to Titania and peeked into the cabinet beside her.
"A rope? Chains? And... handcuffs?" she said, lifting each item with a confused expression.
"And look. Aren't these… shaped like…?" Titania began, holding something up hesitantly.
"Yes," Trill replied, eyes wide.
"I believe I saw a medicine like this in Leon's room once."
"That's probably what I think it is," Titania whispered back.
They were both speaking in hushed tones, likely thinking they were being discreet—but I could hear every word. I didn't need to see what they found. I already knew. Inside that cabinet was a full collection—dildos of various shapes and sizes, sex toys, restraints, tools for S&M and bondage, and even a stash of aphrodisiacs. Whoever designed this room certainly had a particular clientele in mind.
"Stop playing around, you two," Rose said, her voice sharp but calm as she crossed her arms. "We need to get some rest if we want to start the journey early."
Both of them slowly turned around, a faint redness lingering on their cheeks, their eyes avoiding mine as if trying to act like they hadn't just been peeking at a cabinet full of sinful curiosities. Then, wordlessly, they began putting everything back in place—one item after another. The soft clink of chains, the quiet rustle of fabric, and the faint creak of the cabinet door added a strangely sensual undertone to the silence that had fallen in the room.
"Well, it's not like we need to leave at sunrise," I said, leaning back on the plush mattress, my arms behind my head, voice steady. "So, we might as well take full advantage of this room."
"Take advantage?" Rose arched an eyebrow, her voice cool, but her eyes already narrowing with suspicion.
"Let's have sex."
The moment those words left my mouth, Rose stiffened like she'd been struck by lightning. "What!?" she burst out, her face instantly flushed to a deep crimson, her expression frozen in stunned disbelief. ƒrēenovelkiss.com
"This room is literally designed for S&M," I said, gesturing around. "From the hidden love chair to the ropes, pillory, and all the damn furniture in here pretending to be classy... this place is for fucking. We might as well enjoy the full experience and make sure we're getting our money's worth."
Rose looked at me like she couldn't decide whether to slap me or scream. "B-But sex is…" Her gaze flicked toward Titania and Trill, clearly uncomfortable with the thought of sharing such an intimate act in front of others. Her voice trembled with emotion. "What the hell, Leon? Did you seriously bring me all the way here—make me drive—for this? Was that your intention all along?"
"No," I answered plainly, unfazed by her anger. "I was sure we'd reach Flui Village before nightfall. That was the plan. But since we didn't, I figured we'd stay the night here and head out in the morning. It's just a coincidence this room turned out to be an S&M suite."
"S-So basically, you're saying this is my fault? That we're stuck in a room like this because I got lost?" Her hands balled into fists at her sides, trembling slightly as frustration brewed in her chest.
"I never said that," I replied evenly, meeting her gaze. "But listen—if you're not into it, that's totally fine. I'm not going to force anything." I looked at both Titania and Trill. "But are you both okay with it?"
"W-Well…" Titania shifted where she stood, her fingers brushing against her arm as she fidgeted. Her face was softly glowing with a pink hue. Trill stood beside her, blushing furiously, unable to make eye contact. "We are… open to the idea…"
A slow breath escaped my lips as the atmosphere in the room subtly changed.
Yeah… this night was definitely going to be one to remember.
