Chapter 1135: Chapter 1134: Game Of Questions
Some time before the explosions, Kat PoV
"Well... when you put it that way, I can't help but go ahead and agree, now can I~? See, the thing about me, Elizabeth, is that I am innately rather curious, and you are ticking off the right boxes at the moment..."
Mariam leaned back on the bed and stared at me with a small smirk, her eyes raking across my figure one more time before she added "But I'm not one to play someone else's game without any consideration, so how about we add a rule here... Each question you ask comes with a price. I'll give you a freebie to start - I am magnanimous, after all~ - but afterwards, each question will cost you."
I raised a brow at that, but I gestured for her to continue, already having an idea on where this was going if her smirk was anything to go by; she wasn't hiding her intentions at all, and her body was being quite honest as her cock strained against her pants, threatening to tear through.
"Each question you want to ask, I want another piece of your clothing to drop to the floor-! After all, we're going to have sex after this, but why not have some fun before then, right? So if you want to get some answers from me... you'll earn them by baring more and more skin until eventually you're completely naked ~! And then we'll fuck like rabbits."
The assuredness of her tone was quite familiar to me, and that familiarity made me smile as I nodded, deciding to play her game, though not entirely on her terms either; clasping my hands behind my back, I turned away from her and allowed her to ogle the rest of my curves, using her arousal against her for now.
"If you say something that requires more clarification, that won't count as a question; if I keep on topic and don't ask a question that requires far more information to be relinquished, my clothes will remain on. I want to have a dialogue with you before we 'fuck like rabbits', Mariam. Like I said before, it isn't everyday that I get to chat with someone the masses seem to proclaim to be a genius!"
We shared a smile at that, and after a short while of contemplation Mariam gave me a nod, the scholarly, horny Caninekin staring me in the eye now as she replied "That's more than acceptable, and it only makes me more curious... so I'll play by my own rules, hm? I want to ask a few questions as well..."
"I can work with that. Since I was the one to suggest this kind of game, I'll go ahead and start with that freebie you so graciously gave to me~! Question one: what is it that Lord Ismail wants from you, and what exactly are you providing to him? Many seem to be insinuating that there are sexual services being exchanged, but... you don't really strike me to be that kind of person."
Chuckling, the Caninekin raked a hand through her raven black hair and fixed me with a languid stare as she answered "That was two questions, but they do connect, don't they~? That last one was a statement... clever, Elizabeth, very~ clever~!
Well, to that statement; the answer is no, I haven't sucked the old man's cock, and sadly I haven't managed to get him to suck mine either. Our relationship is entirely founded on business only, and neither of us have much interest in the other sexually.
Now, for your freebie question... some things are going to need to be left out for obvious reasons, my dear, but I can say this: Lord Ismail wants to make the Sultanate more
prosperous, and in my time as a researcher and accomplished mage I've stumbled across a few theories.
There is - theoretically - a way to create contained zones of a different mana type within the Sultanate, and the most obvious one to make would be a zone of Water Mana. An oasis with far more abundance than the ones we have now. What I provide is simple; the brains to this whole idea, as well as the connections to other mages who want to help.
That's the first question answered, though let me see you try and wiggle in another, hm~? I have to admit I am becoming more intrigued by the moment~! Surely your brains match your beauty-?"
Another smile was shared between us, and I gave her answer a moment to permeate my mind before asking "So is Lord Ismail providing the funding to this operation, and is he thinking of creating this 'Water Mana Zone' in this city?"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Hmm... should I consider that to be connected~? I guess it is... and the answer is obvious to that as well, my dear; yes, he opens his coin purse and pays for everything I need, and he wants the end result to be something that benefits the city first. Out of the walls, of course, so if anything goes wrong the populace won't be affected, but otherwise it is for this city. Anything else-?"
Taking a deep breath, I pursed my lips and turned from her again, before I started to slowly pace as I gradually got closer to her, reaching the fringes of my range to place a tether between us made from Lust Mana.
"You are the head researcher and also the leading developer for this project then? The one giving the orders while also planning everything up?"
She just nodded at that, and after another few seconds I reluctantly sighed as I waved my hand, signaling that I was out of questions for now that were directly connected to that branch, allowing Mariam her turn.
Without hesitation she shed her shirt and revealed her smooth, toned belly as well as her perky breasts, which were barely contained inside of a bra; I couldn't help myself as I looked her over, and when she flexed her abdomen I just had to roll my eyes at her, though I kept the flirtatious attitude as I gave her a smile too.
"Tell me, Elizabeth, does your mate know you've come to this party today to 'mingle' with the rest of us partygoers~?"
I chuckled at that, winking at the futanari as I answered "She knows I'm here, and she knows what I am doing, but not to what extent~! So there's no need to worry about retaliation from her, Mariam... what we do in here is between me... and you..."
She bit her lip at that, though that didn't stop her from asking "So your mate knows that you're coming here to have someone chase your tail, eh~? How thrilling!", to which I just replied with another smile and a wink, and like I had she waved her hand and grinned as she signaled that her turn was over.
Now I was in a predicament, since going forwards meant taking off clothes and baring skin, though... thankfully this dress was made from multiple parts, and even as I took off the outermost layer, I was still mostly covered.
My sleeves, the back of the dress and some of the sides were gone now, with the remaining parts of the top holding my breasts in place while they threatened to spill out the now open sides, and my stomach was just barely out of sight; Mariam nodded and stared at me with a gaze that was almost palpable, and I could see just how aroused she was.
"Well then... There are - apparently, from what someone else said - others who came here with you, Mariam. Are you apart of some kind of organization? One that deals in magical theories that might just be considered... not 'illegal', but... frowned upon, perhaps?"
Her lustful smile stiffened slightly, and I didn't miss how her eyes hardened as she stared me in the eyes again, though she relaxed as I just gave her another smile and turned, showing off the sides of my boobs and giving her something to ogle.
"The easiest way to answer that is... yes, Elizabeth. I am a member of a group that seeks out knowledge and ways to apply that knowledge to the here and now. Some of it is... dangerous. Some might even call it 'dark' magic, or forbidden magic. We don't want to cause widespread harm, so we are extremely careful with what we do, but I am sure you know that sometimes... accidents happen."
She trailed off at that, and her serious look returned as she watched me carefully, though my mask remained airtight as I just nodded and continued to pace, my movements controlled perfectly to be just sensual enough to draw her gaze while being rather 'normal' to the eye, and after a few steps I turned to her and puffed out my chest.
"You didn't tell me if there were others here, Mariam~! Are there more fascinating people here that I should try and meet-? Ooh, or are you not telling me because you're worried that you won't get to keep me for yourself-?"
Like before her seriousness passed by as I asked that, and she chuckled and sat up so that she could stare at me more closely, eventually replying "I want to count that as another question, but the answer is - once again - rather obvious Elizabeth~! The longer I'm with you, the more I want to keep you to myself... You're sexy, smart, and fun to chat with! But yes, there's three others here with me. They're not as sociable as I am though, and unless you like thin, awkward and passive men who would be bleeding profusely from the nose at the sight of you right now, you don't really want to meet them. Smart and incredibly talented mages, yes, but as people..."
Mariam shrugged, and I couldn't help myself as I got a little closer to her as well, leaning over
and allowing my boobs to hang right in front of her face as I whispered "But what if I like the idea of bullying them~? Would you stop me from popping their cherries-?", the closeness allowing me to spike her again with Lust Mana.
Her response was to just laugh before cupping my cheek, her thumb caressing my skin and
brushing just beneath my eye as she whispered "You'd be their second woman, sadly... I've stolen their virginity a long time ago... how else can you keep pitiful men and futanari in
line, hm-?"
