Chapter 41: Urgent
'M-my stamina?!'
'No! No! What use will I be in this realm without my stamina boost?'
'Fuck! I knew nothing good would come out of a surprise quest. Where does this fucking system expect me to find that kind of a girl?'
'Heck. Even it said it itself. They all are interested in me and want to fuck.'
So where...
'Oh! Alcippe. Alcippe is the only girl who is not interested in fucking me. She's the only one.'
For a split second, joy crossed...
He was about to celebrate when he remembered an important detail.
[Duration: 2 hours.]
Alcippe was far away. There was no way Byron would reach her before...
What even made him sure that even if he went looking for her, he would find her? She was probably out of the city, with Penthesilea and the others, looking for him.
'Shit! What should I do?'
'If I stay here, I might not find the girl the system described in time, not at all. If I go looking for Alcippe, I might not find her.'
'How far is New Themiscyra anyway?'
Byron glanced at Keza and asked, "How many minutes is it to New Themiscyra?"
He had to make sure that Alcippe was an option. If it was so far away, then there would be no point in him going anyway.
He was now surrounded by the girls, hands on each and every inch of his body, some rubbing themselves on him...
'I never knew women could be this perverted...' he thought, the seconds it took Keza to answer his question seeming like days.
"Minutes?" she chuckled. "It's hours!"
"Shit!" he found himself exclaiming loudly.
Keza gave him a concerned look. "What's wrong?"
Before Byron could say anything, Hippolyta, who had approached slowly unlike the girls who had come running, reached them and said, "Oh, Keza. Don't act blind. It's these girls... Hey girls, what do you think you're doing? Give him some space to breathe!"
Reluctantly, the girls distanced themselves from him, but they were looking at him like he was some candy...
They were almost like dogs, and he, fresh meat in front of them. They were drooling, whispering to each other and giggling every now and then.
To their horror, Hippolyta took a few steps toward Byron and planted her lips on his, daring him to devour them.
"You're finally awake," she said after their lips parted. "How was your night?"
Byron had bigger things to worry about, so he didn't intend to waste time describing his night.
That's why he glanced at Keza.
Hippolyta noticed it and directly shifted his gaze to Keza and poked her on the chest with her finger.
"You said it was just a round or two," she said.
Byron could see Keza's face brighten with a smile, a blush painting her cheeks a crimson hue. She pointed at Hippolyta. "It's your fault."
"Oh, and how is that?"
"You said you would come to check on us after the prayers. Did you come? Exactly! You didn't come. We fell asleep. Waiting for you. Even when the morning finally came, you just went to your prayers."
"Z, you had him the entire night?" asked a blue-haired girl with big round eyes the colour of the sky on a sunny day.
It was as if her voice awoke the other girls from some kind of stupor Byron's presence had put them into.
They all started pouring questions onto Keza.
"Yeah, Z, tell us!"
...
The succubus genes in Keza couldn't allow her to deny it. After all, besides teasing men and riding their meat, another thing every succubus likes is to taunt women.
"Yes! All night long..." she replied, a haughty grin threatening to tear her face apart.
"Oh, how lucky!"
"How greedy!"
...
Every girl reacted in her own way, but there was envy and some anger towards Keza in each and every one of those reactions.
This also affected Byron because suddenly, they flocked to him again, as if Hippolyta wasn't there.
"It's our turn then..." said the blue-haired girl, her hand already on Byron's jawline, her lips edging closer.
'No! I have to do something or else I'll end up in bed with them and miss the deadline for the quest.'
By the time Byron finished this thought, the blue haired girl's lips were already smacked on his and her tongue was fighting for a way in.
'What do I do? Why isn't Hippolyta stopping them? Fuck!'
Byron allowed that girl's tongue to invade the inside of his mouth. This would at least help him calm down and think of a solution.
It was as if this girl had never kissed someone before, but Byron didn't care. Even if she was experienced, he wouldn't enjoy it anyway.
The clock to his doom was ticking and even his dick knew it and it would never dare to get aroused.
But then again, was it really his doom? He would only lose ability to boost his stamina, right? Was it that big of a loss?
Questions and questions but no answers.
'Yeah! My stamina boosting ability is important. It's the only powerful weapon I have so far.'
The realization brought to his mind images of an hourglass, sand falling rapidly into the lower compartment.
'I'm running out of time.'
It was as if some divine being heard him and decided to help because, at that moment, the girls started shouting at the bluehead.
"Nym, don't be greedy!"
"It's my turn!"
"Give us a chance too!"
...
Eventually, they pulled the bluehead away from him
A blondie was about to attack Byron's lips, but a brunette pulled her away, a blackie pushing the brunette before she could replace the blonde.
To Byron's relief, this chaos became their undoing.
"Enough!" Hippolyta roared, so loud, deep and authoritative to the extent even burn felt chills. It was a side of her he didn't know existed...
No. Actually, it's the side of her he had expected before he met her, but she had managed to hide it well until now.
"Are you crazy or something?" she continued. "Can't you ever do something without involving chaos? I can't believe you're acting like this on the first Sun With Mother Calliope, in her shrine. What if she gets angry?"
The more she said, the more the girls stepped away from Byron, shaking in fear at each and every sentence.
'This is what Alcippe meant when she said that Hippolyta has turned evil.'
"Go bring materials for the next prayers."
They hurried out of the castle.
"Sigh!"
Hippolyta let out a prolonged exhale, seemingly tired from all the shouting. Then, she shook her head and a smile appeared on her face as she turned to face Byron.
If one hadn't seen how she was seconds ago, he would mistake her for an angel now.
Byron was speechless.
"Sorry about that, darling!" she said. "I should have slapped them."
"No! It's alright!" replied Byron.
"You must be hungry... Z, did you feed him?"
Keza shook her head.
Hippolyta shook hers, too, but in disappointment. "Why? Don't you think he deserves to eat after you rode him all night long? How caring of you!"
"Lyta, I told you it's your fault. We fell asleep waiting for you. You lied to us."
"I did it for him. I didn't wanna disturb him. I thought you would like it if I gave you more time with him. You should have shown gratitude by taking care of him."
"But Lyta, I..."
Keza was about to complain, but Hippolyta was having none of it no more. She smiled at Byron again, saying, "Let's go find some food for you darling, shall we?"
"Actually, I'm not that hungry," said Byron, pressured by the ticking of an imaginary clock. "I need to ask you for a favor instead."
"That's alright? What is it? You can still eat though."
"I want Keza to take me to New Themiscyra now."
Even a stupid person could guess how Hippolyta reacted to this.
"What? Now? Why? I thought you were liking it here?"
'This bitch! I'm a hostage here.'
Or, was he? It was time to find out.
"It's not that I don't like it here. I have an urgent message for Alcippe. I promise I won't play any games. I will come with Keza as soon as my business in New Themiscyra is done."
Byron saw Hillolyta's lips twitch, but no words came out. She glances at Keza, as if looking for an answer or council, then back at Byron.
"Let's go find some food for you first," she finally said. "We can talk about this around the table."
"I said it's urgent. Didn't you hear?"
Byron was starting to get impatient. His voice was rising a bit by bit, anger sipping into it.
The Queen stared at him for a while without saying anything, her face indifferent, then finally turned to Keza and said, "Take him to the dining castle and give him something to eat. I'm right behind you."
Byron was about to complain, but Keza gestured for him not to. He reluctantly allowed her to drag him out, then felt her soft melons pressing against his chest as she hugged him tightly and lifted in the air, flying toward the north-east castle.
