Chapter 737: Mother knows everything

Slurrrppp

"~mmmmmmm~’

Thalia moaned, biting her lips, struggling to hold back her voice as her shirt rolled up, and her bra was tugged down... Her bare, supple breasts were exposed to the cool air for only a second before Aether’s hot mouth latched onto them, sucking hungrily. She clung to him like a desperate koala, her hands tightly wrapped around his neck, her legs locked around his waist, grinding her wet heat against his hard, burning erection.

Her breath hitched. She could feel his cock twitch through his pants, pressing firmly against her needy folds. The friction sent a shiver through her spine, making her body tremble in raw desire.

With a wet pop, Aether pulled back, letting a thin strand of saliva stretch between his lips and her flushed, trembling nipple. He gazed at the tiny pink bud, now glistening with his saliva, stiff and needy, twitching slightly as if begging for more.

His ice-blue eyes darkened with lust as he took in the sight of her small but perfectly shaped breasts—perky, soft, with adorably small nipples and slightly darker areolas that made his mouth water.

"~chu~"

"~hmm~"

Aether’s lips trailed kisses along the curve of her breast, his tongue flicking against her sensitive skin. He pressed a lingering kiss on the valley between her boobs before biting down gently, sucking in the tender flesh as if he wanted to mark her.

"~aahh~ G~Gentle Aet~ahhetter~"

Thalia whimpered, her fingers clutching his hair, trying to pull him closer and push him away at the same time.

Aether chuckled against her skin, the vibration making her shudder. His smirk widened as he gazed at her stiff, needy nipples... They were small, but they stood so hard, so sensitive, so deliciously tempting that he simply couldn’t resist.

He latched onto her breast again.

"~Ahhh~ N-Nothing comes out, Aether!!" she cried, her body jerking as his tongue flicked over her hardened bud, teasing it mercilessly.

Her words said one thing, but her body betrayed her.

She wasn’t pushing him away—no, she was pressing herself against him, her hips rolling unconsciously, rubbing her soaking wet core against his throbbing length.

She wanted more!

She needed more!!

Her moans became ragged, and needy, her body trembling as her nectar dripped down her thighs, soaking through the fabric of her skirt, staining his pants.

~Mmm~"

Aether’s hands gripped her plump ass, kneading the soft flesh before slipping under her skirt. His fingers trailed down the curve of her ass, teasing the crevice before dipping lower.

Her breath hitched.

His fingertips brushed against her soaked panties, pressing lightly against her swollen folds.

"~AH~"

Thalia gasped, her eyes snapping wide open as a sharp jolt of pleasure shot through her body, "W-Wai~ahh~mm~wait a se~saaa~"

Aether wasn’t listening. He didn’t give her a chance to think, didn’t give her a moment to breathe. His mouth ravished her breasts with deep, greedy sucks, his tongue rolling over her sensitive nipples, teasing, flicking, biting—until she was nothing but a trembling, moaning mess in his arms.

"Ssttop~mmmmnnnn~" She moaned weakly, her fingers gripping his shoulders, but there was no real strength in them.

It was useless!

He had drained her resistance, had completely unravelled her, left her helpless and at his mercy.

That’s when it hit her.

She had been playing with fire. And now, she was burning in it.

’F-Fuck…’ she screamed inwardly, but her body betrayed her.

Aether felt it—the way her thighs clenched, the way her body tensed, the way she trembled so violently against him.

She was close.

Just from him sucking her boobs?

Aether smirked, mildly surprised. ’So, this is her weakness…’

His fingers hadn’t even slipped inside her yet, hadn’t even truly touched her, and yet… she was already at her limit.

With a devilish glint in his eyes, he flicked her nipple with his tongue before biting down—hard.

Then, he pulled.

"W-Wai~AAAAHHHHH~~~~~"

Splash!!

Splash!!!

Aether’s pants were instantly drenched as Thalia came violently, her nectar gushing out like a dam bursting after years of being held back.

Her body went limp.... Her mind turned white!

She collapsed against his shoulder, panting heavily, her body twitching with aftershocks of her climax. Her face was flushed, her lips slightly parted, her glazed eyes struggling to focus.

"~ha~ha~ha" She panted, her entire body trembling from the intensity of her orgasm...

Aether smirked before pressing a soft kiss to her cheek. "Did you like it?" he whispered, his hot breath sending a shiver down her spine.

"~ha~Ye~ha~Yes" Thalia muttered breathlessly before her senses finally returned. Her eyes widened in horror, and in a panicked attempt to escape, she jumped from his arms—only to slip on the wet mess she had created.

"Kyaa—!"

Before she could crash onto the floor, Aether, of course, caught her, cradling her gently before setting her down.

Thalia, who wanted to scold him, threaten him, and do anything to regain some dignity, could only blush furiously. After a long pause, she finally managed to stammer, "Y-You did something worse… I-I cannot believe you did this to your sister-in-law…"

Aether only smiled, his expression warm yet teasing. He wasn’t even remotely fazed by her words. If anything, it amused him.

That made her blush even more.

"Hmph! I am going to tell my sister and my mother that you defiled me!! You will regret this!" she declared, trying to sound intimidating, but… considering her wobbly legs, her flushed face, the way her clothes were dishevelled, her breasts still slick with his saliva, and most importantly—the wet puddle beneath her—it wasn’t exactly a threatening image.

Aether’s gaze flickered downward.

She followed his gaze—only to see her exposed, glistening boobs in plain view.

!!!

Her face turned scarlet as she hastily yanked down her shirt, glaring at him. "Y-You fucked up!! Aether!! You really fucked up!!!" she screamed before storming off.

She had to leave. Now.

If she stayed any longer…

Who knew what that devil would do next?

Aether chuckled, watching her stumble away, her legs still weak, her movements shaky. ’This girl… why can’t she just be honest?’

Then, his expression turned slightly serious. "So, what about… Dora? You can’t leave her like that."

Thalia halted in her steps.

She knew what her friend had gone through, how much she had suffered for the truth. Taking a deep breath, she finally said, "I’ll deal with that…" before turning back and shouting, "And don’t you dare mess this up like you did with my sister and mother!!"

Aether raised a hand in mock surrender, smirking. "I simply want you to be happy… that’s all," he said, winking.

Thalia’s cheeks burned red as she gritted her teeth.

’Once I get you, I’m gonna fuck you until you dry up and beg for mercy, bastard!’ she vowed in her heart before huffing and storming off.

Aether shook his head with a chuckle.

’Anyway, I need to get back to the Naiadae Empire,’ he thought, turning to leave.

Meanwhile,

Thalia gritted her teeth in frustration, her fists clenched as she stomped down the hall. "That fucker… He’s treating me like his damn plaything! Acting like he owns me! I swear, I’m gonna teach him a lesson—"

Her angry muttering suddenly came to an abrupt halt... A slow, sly grin crept onto her lips. Her entire expression shifted from frustration to pure, bubbling happiness. Her cheeks turned pink as she bit her lip, her eyes shining with mischief. And before she knew it—

"Hehehe~ I got him… Haaah~ I got him… I got the man~~!"

She twirled on her heels, her skirt fluttering as she hummed a little tune, her body practically bouncing with excitement. Sure, her plan might have failed, but in the end, she got what she wanted.

He loved her!!

He never said it outright, but she saw it, everyone must have seen it!!

The way he looked at her—those ice blue eyes filled with something deep, something dark, something possessive... Just like when he looked at her big sister.

That meant she had won!!

Fucking won!!

"Hehe… Hahahaha… HAHAHAHAHA—!"

"—Noir"

"Huh?"

Thalia’s laughter cut off as her blood ran cold.

Standing right in front of her was none other than her mother.

Her face instantly paled. "M-Mom?" she squeaked.

Emberlyn stood there, arms crossed, her sharp eyes unreadable.

Thalia gulped. ’Shit, shit, shit, SHIT!’

But then, in an instant, her eyes welled up with tears, her face contorting into an expression of pure horror. She let out a pitiful wail before throwing herself at her mother, clinging to her like a lifeline.

"M-MOM!!" she cried out desperately.

Emberlyn barely had time to react before Thalia buried her face into her shoulder, sobbing as if the world were ending.

"Th-That bastard! That Aether!! Waaaahhhh!!! He—he k-kissed me!!" she cried, her body trembling. "H-He said… sniff, sniff… He said both sisters belong to him, and o-one day, he’ll get meeee… MOMMMM!! I’M SO SCARED!! I DON’T WANNA BELONG TO HIM!!"

Her wails echoed down the corridor, her sobs filled with raw, agony, shaking as if she had just barely escaped a fate worse than death.

Emberlyn blinked.

"He said what now?"

Emberlyn slowly patted her daughter’s back, as Thalia even more cried before adding, "H-He even said... he only accepted Raven because of me!! Otherwise, he would’ve t-t-tortured her—waaahhh! My poor, pitiful big sister! He’s going to torture her, Mother!! We have to stop this madness before it’s too late!!"

Emberlyn’s face darkened. Her eyes narrowed as she called out—

"Noir."

But Thalia wasn’t done.

"H-He even compared us to a one-plus-one offer!!

Like we’re some buy-one-get-one-free deal!! Who the hell says something like that?!

He’s not human, Mom!! He’s a devil!! A monster!!" She clutched her mother even tighter, her nails digging into Emberlyn’s clothes,

"But I—I had no choice! I couldn’t let Raven suffer! So… so I let him kiss me, M-Mom… I let him do it… Please forgive me for this sin!! Waaaaaa!!"

"Noir..."

"A-And also… sniff… sniff… He said that if I don’t become his wife, he’d torture you too, Mother…! NO!! I am so scared mother!!"

"... Noir!"

"T-That’s why! That’s why I—!" Thalia’s voice trembled as she fought to hold back her sobs. Her breath came in shaky gasps, her words laced with desperation, "In order to protect you and Raven…

Yes! That’s the only reason! You both are my life! That’s why I’ve made my decision…!"

"sniff, sniff... I... I’m going to be his wife, Mother… ! I will sacrifice myself for my sister’s happiness!

So that my big sister won’t have to suffer at the hands of that bastard!!

I’ll endure whatever tortures he throws at me, whatever hell he puts me through, just so my big sister can be happy... forever. Please… please, you must help me, Mom!! Help me!!

You have to help me so that I can make you and Raven happy… forever. I’ll do anything... anything at all... just please don’t let her suffer..."

"THALIA!!"

The thunderous roar of her mother’s voice made Thalia flinch so hard she nearly bit her tongue.

Thalia flinched, "W-What is it, Mom?" she stammered, turning to face her mother, who, for reasons Thalia couldn’t comprehend, wasn’t crying or showing any emotion at all.

Her mother stared at her, not a single tear in her eyes, not even a hint of sympathy.

Just… pure, unreadable calm.

"M-Mom?"

Emberlyn took a deep breath. Then, in a low, steady voice, she said—

"I am your mother."

"Huh? Of course, you are—"

"I am your damn mother!!" Emberlyn’s voice suddenly shifted, her face going blank. The sudden shift in energy made Thalia’s blood run cold.

Thalia’s face drained of colour. Emberlyn’s lips curled into a gentle smile, but it was anything but comforting. "And who, exactly, is the mother?" Emberlyn’s tone was ice-cold.

"W-Well..." Thalia stuttered, her heart pounding as she instinctively took a step back. But before she could retreat, Emberlyn grabbed her, holding her tight.

Emberlyn raised her hand slowly. "Mother always knows what their children are up to..." she said, her tone ominous. Before Thalia could fully process her words,

SLAP!!!!

"MOOMMMYYYYY!!!"

Thalia screamed as a sharp, stinging pain exploded across her butt. Her entire body jolted, her legs wobbled, and tears of a different kind welled up in her eyes.

"M-Mom!! What the hell?! That hurts!!"

Emberlyn blankly stared at her daughter, who was now rubbing her sore backside with teary eyes. "You have some nerve to seduce the Emperor, don’t you? And not just any Emperor—your own brother-in-law?" she said, voice laced with disappointment as she grabbed Thalia’s ear and twisted it.

"OW-OW-OW! MOM!!" Thalia cried out in both pain and confusion as she felt her ear being pinched painfully.

Emberlyn twisted harder. "So, you thought you could just do whatever you wanted? And then blame everything on our pure, innocent Emperor?"

"Ouch- Okay, okay! I admit it! I tried to seduce him, but... PURE INNOCENT?! If he were innocent, I’d be a sain—OWWWW!!! MOM!!!"

"Ouch!! MOM!!" Thalia screamed, but Emberlyn didn’t relent.

Emberlyn dragged her daughter by the ear,

"If you’re going to act like this, you might as well go talk to your sister. Let’s see what she has to say about your actions. And even if she forgives you, don’t think I’ll let you off the hook so easily. You’ll face the punishment you deserve for seducing the Emperor."

"ARRGGHHH! I can’t believe you’re siding with that damn per—OUCH! I mean, that E-E-Emperor! He’s the one who was playing with—"

Before she could finish,

"YOUR MAJESTY!!" Emberlyn shouted, letting go of Thalia like a ragdoll. Thalia crumpled to the ground with a heavy thud.

"Ouch! Mom… I’m your daughter, how can you treat me like—" Thalia’s words faltered when she looked up to see Aether lying motionlessly on the ground.

Her heart skipped a beat.

"Aether…?"
