Chapter 54: Night and Morning.
*Celia’s POV*
Last night sure was amazing! I had pledged myself to Ria, and even though it will be many years, I look forward to the day when I can finally embrace her!
Not! I haven’t given an answer yet, so I am still free at the moment. The more and more that I stall for time, the more funny the expression on Ria’s face becomes…
Ria: “Take your time, you have all niiiiggght to come up with an answer.” She once again whispered into my ear.
Damn… girl, you aren’t playing fair at all! How am I supposed to figure out an answer, when you keep seducing and arousing me!?
Ria: “Was I? My apologies, I forgot how inexperienced you are. I just get… a little touchy feely when I am in my true form, please understand.” She said with a remorseful giggle.
Can a giggle even be remorseful!? Ah, there she goes, back to laughing. Though, she is very cute when she laughs… Fuck! I gotta think of an answer!… She said that she was well over a few hundred thousand years old, right? My best bet would be to say a name of an ancient Goddess from my time.
If those higher beings invaded, there is no saying if one or two of them invaded my dimension way in the past. She seems to be highly sexual, so she might be a Goddess pertaining to lust. And like Yona, Ria seems to be the type of woman that just loves to kill her enemies…
Celia: “You couldn’t be Astarte, the Goddess of sex and war, would you?” I ask with an unsure tone.
Ria: “How… how did you figure that out?” She asked with a confused tone and expression.
Celia: “You said that you were ancient, and in my past life, Astarte was known as the Goddess of sex and war. I don’t know why, but that description just seemed to fit you.” I reply honestly.
Ria: “Yes, I had invaded this world long before the others, and I was called many things by the mortals…” She said with a thinking pose.
Celia: “You mean, it was a multi correct choice question!?” I ask with a shocked tone.
Ria: “That is so, but you just so happened to have chosen my real name, and what things that my domain is.” She said with a happy tone.
Celia: “So, your real name is Astarte?” I ask.
Ria: “No. It was the first name that I chose to tell the mortals, but my name is now as you know it. Beings like us do not get attached to such small things as names.” She replied.
Before I could ask her anything else, she left the bed. Aw… I already miss her breasts upon my body… Anyway, after she got up from the bed, her appearance change back to what it was before, and she was even wearing her maid outfit. Ria, are you perhaps a magical girl?…
Ria: “As per our agreement, I shall not read your mind any longer, and I shall treat you as if you’re of age.” She said with a warm tone.
Aw… I said that in my mind, in the hope that she would have a funny reply to it. But to her word, she actually stopped reading my mind…
Celia: “Don’t you find it fun, though?” I ask.
Ria: “Fun? Yes, it is quite fun to peer into people’s minds, and figure out what you all are thinking about. That little girl, Lia, has some pretty interesting things going on in her pretty little head as well.” She replied with a giggle.

Celia: “Then, could you perhaps only listen in on my pointless thoughts, and listen for when I am talking with you via my mind?” I propose.
Ria: “That… that would be wonderful, Celia.” She said with a happy tone and expression on her face.
Celia: “Wait… you call Amelie by her name, not out of disrespect?” I ask with a raised eyebrow.
Ria: “Was that really your impression? That might have been the impression that you got, as you thought me a simple maid. But, me calling someone by their name, is a show of respect.” She explained.
Celia: “Do you want me to use your full name then? Rather than Ria.” I ask.
Ria: “Nicknames are fun. Just make sure to call my full name when we are making love. Though that will be a long time from now, so I shall remind you of this at that time.” She said with a haughty tone.
No… it was a sultry tone, but I need to calm myself down; otherwise, I won’t be getting any sleep tonight… Stupid teenage body, with my stupid hormones going crazy! Ah!
Ria: “Celia, I seem to have aroused you too much for you to sleep. Shall I use sleeping magic on you? You will sleep like a baby, I promise.” She proposed.
Celia: “Please do!” I exclaim.
With a cute smile on her face, and a flick of her wrist, I was out like a light. That night, I had the most restful sleep that I ever had. I might need to get Ria to use that sleeping magic on me every night at this point…
Despite having my sleep interrupted by Ria, I still woke up at a good time, and was well rested. Though, it’s not like I HAVE to wake up early, considering that the academy’s classes are on hold at the moment. Which, is my fault, but, whatever…
Once my whole morning routine was finished, rather than being dressed in my uniform, I was set up with a very beautiful purple dress. As I was sitting down in the dining room, Lia entered, and it seems that she was also given a beautiful dress to wear. I think that she is wearing one of mine, as we have somewhat the same build.
She was wearing a light green dress, that truly fit her, and made her look even more eye-catching. At least, eye-catching to me…
Celia: “Lia, you look absolutely wonderful in that dress!” I say with an excited tone.
Lia: “You look stunning as well, Celia.” She replied with a bright smile.
After that, she sat down at the table. Rather than from across me like last time, she sat right next to me. As I was beginning to trust her, I found her action of sticking close to me, to be quite cute.
Besides, if she wanted to cause me harm, Ria most likely would have killed her in her sleep, and just told me that those maids couldn’t save her… Looking at Ria, she just gave me a nod. Ah, so I was right…
Lia: “Do you have any plans for today, Celia?” She asked with a curious tone.
Celia: “None at all. Do you have something in mind?” I ask back.
Lia: “We need a backer to offload that lumber, and to set up a company to sell those Mana Crystals.” She replied with a thinking pose.
Celia: “Do you know anyone that could help us?” I ask.
This conversation happened after we had a small chat while eating breakfast. While we ate, we didn’t really talk about anything interesting. I think that we mostly just flirted with each other, saying how pretty that we look, and things like that.
Lia: “My mother might be willing to help…” She said with an unsure tone.
Celia: “You don’t sound that confident, though?” I reply.
Lia: “…”
Celia: “Hm… I think I have a backer in mind.” I say with an assured tone.
Lia: “Amelie won’t work, as she is rarely ever here in the kingdom.” She said with a sigh.
Looking at Ria, I ask her a question in my head. Do I need an appointment to visit the queen of this kingdom? Ah, she shook her head. So, can we go right now, and can I “convince” her to help me with this? Two nods? Cool!
Celia: “Trust me, the backer that I have in mind, will be better than you expect.” I say with an excited tone.
Lia: “Celia…I don’t quite like that look on your face…” She said with a conflicted expression on her face.
Celia: “It will be funny…I mean, fun. Ria already has a carriage ready, right?” I ask.
Ria: “Yes, Celia. I’ll show you two the way.” She replied with a slightly evil smile.
Celia: “…”
With that, Ria guided us to a carriage. How she even managed to set up this stuff so fast, I will never know… Ah, wait, Ria, are the maids here your underlings?
Ria: “They’re similar to succubus’s, and yes, they’re mine. If you’re wondering why they’re so thorough when cleaning you and Lia, it is because them touching you, is like food to them. And high quality food at that.” She said with a cheeky tone, while whispering into my ear.
Cool. No wonder they work so well. I wonder if Amelie even realizes this about her maids? Ah, Ria shook her head, so that means that she doesn’t. Heh, funny. Regardless, it is time to pull an Amelie, and invade into the home of the queen and king, without prior warning or invitation!
