Chapter 358: Encroachment of Hell

When I opened my eyes, Beatrice was already gone, like usual. She probably had returned to Royal Castle in Capital City because the mourning time for King Cassius had ended today.

On my sides were my girlfriends, who were about to become my fiancees after I made them official, hugging my body while naked. My left arm rested blissfully between Eliza's mounds while my right hand was put between Tristan's firm thighs.

They were both in heaven, and this room still reeked of sex from the last 7 days orgy. I really pushed myself and satisfied them all. I knew it because they all had smiles when they left my room, and their skins were glowing in a healthy way.

I also punished Mia enough to make her stop blaming herself anymore. Not only that, I gave her enough attention so she wouldn't rampage.

What I felt dissatisfied about was the fact Ertha got cursed, and Lucy didn't want to join even when she was aroused. That was truly a shame. I truly wanted to see her expression morph into pleasure with her tongue stuck out and saliva dripping down her body.

Sunlight seeped in through the open balcony door. Astro's cry and the sound of water running from the twins' nuns, Lisa and Lara, taking care of the garden could be heard. There was no sound from Scylla as I turned her into a scroll again on the fourth day.

At the party, I was so drowned in pleasure that I forgot to dominate Vivian, Garcia, and Rania. I could do that in later days, as there were pressing matters.

At that moment, I heard a voice from my side.

"Hnn~"

"Arthur..."

Hearing the busy morning voice, both my girlfriends squirmed around as they opened their eyes slightly. They reeked of a womanly odor combined with sex scent as they hadn't taken a bath yet since yesterday.

I also didn't use <Purification> yet to clean this room, but I knew that Garcia and Milea had cleaned the other rooms when we were asleep. They were exemplary nuns who did their jobs seriously even though they wanted my cock as a reward.

I sidetracked a little bit. I looked at both of them and gave them a light kiss as they opened their eyes.

"Good morning, sweethearts."

"Morning..." Tristan answered in a groggy voice, not clear yet because she had just woken up. She raised her body, stretching her arms upward without remembering that she was still naked.

"Wha?!"

When she realized it, she yelped cutely and grabbed the giant blanket to cover her body. She looked at me with a red face, whispering softly. "Turn around, pervert."

I only chuckled at her words, "It's too late. I explored every inch of your body yesterday, didn't I? Don't be embarrassed. Look at Eliza; she's so calm." I turned around to look at my other girlfriend.

Eliza smiled shyly while hiding her body under the blanket, looked at me with a playful gaze, and repeated what Tristan said, "Pervert."

Both of them giggled afterward, and I just realized that they were playing with me. Tristan and Eliza had planned this without me knowing.

Figures... They had a good relationship and called each other nicknames. I felt a little left out, so I tried to call them by nicknames too.

"Tris, Eli, let's stop playing and get out of bed."

"Huh?"

"... What did you just call us?"

Both of them raised questions, and I only smiled while using <Large Area Purification> to clean the room and our bodies. Tristan's expression was especially funny since she was caught off guard, while Eliza only blinked her eyes cutely.

I got off the bed and changed into my Paladin uniform without saying anything more.

"Ask Milea if you want to have breakfast here. There is an urgent matter I need to finish soon." My tone changed to serious as he buttoned up my uniform.

Tristan narrowed her eyes at my words. She wrapped the blanket around her body while taking out an elf tunic, wearing it slowly inside the cover.

"Is it serious?" She asked.

Eliza had no inventory and could only hide her body while listening to us. Seeing that, I decided to take out simple clothes and give them to her, which she received with a smile.

Then, I turned to Tristan, who already wore her clothes and got off the bed, and continued, "It's a little bit serious. I got a task from the Goddess."

"What?!" Eliza and Tristan shouted simultaneously in surprise.

"T-The Goddess, as in..." Tristan looked at me, her eyes widened in surprise and curiosity.

"Yes, the Goddess you are thinking of," I answered with a nod.

The surprise had gotten to her, and she couldn't say anything. At this moment, Eliza was done wearing a simple white dress I gave her and got off the bed.

"Will you return soon?" The brown-haired girl asked worriedly, looking at me as she clutched her hands.

"I will." I smiled and approached her, patting her head to lessen her worry. "Don't worry. I will always return home at night unless something happens. Also, I will only be gone for a few hours this time. If I ever go for a few days, I will always tell both of you."

"Right. Arthur is really strong, so you shouldn't worry too much, Eli." Tristan chirped in, helping me to make Eliza less worried about me. "If he wants to, he can fight this whole world alone and emerge victorious. Our b-boyfriend is that strong, so don't worry too much about him."

While she was still shy, she did call me her boyfriend, which made me happy. Eliza also nodded and smiled, knowing how strong I was. She was only worried because I mentioned the task this time was from the Goddess, not just a normal mission.

"Be careful."

"I will."

After I answered, she leaned forward and gave me a light kiss. Tristan watched us and decided to kiss me, too, wishing me goodbye. I was blessed to be given people who cared for me, and I was especially thankful to Tristan for supporting me since we met 5 years ago.

So, I would stop this Hell encroachment and try my best to stop the big event, even though I knew it would be useless as it couldn't be stopped.

Not for the sake of the world, but for my own sake.

As I walked out of my mansion, I looked at the new Quest given by the Goddess.

- Prevent Monsters from Hell from Destroying Sins Paradise!

Quest Description: Oh no, the Sin Kingdom is about to get attacked! Hell has shown its appearance and tried to enter the world through the borders.

As a Paladin, you must stop the monsters and prevent a tragedy! This tragedy is related to Sins Paradise's 'Hell Encroachment Event.'

Stop the monsters and get your extra reward! If you fail, Hell will manifest in the wasteland between the two Kingdoms faster than scheduled!

Deadline: 2 Months

Reward: 250 Sins + 250 Virtues

The reward was tantalizing. It was the highest reward that I had ever seen from the Quest.

Also... The description seemed to be written as a joke. This was probably Goddess Lilith's work, but the content of the description wasn't a joke.

'Hell will manifest faster if I fail to stop the monsters?'

That was bad. I hadn't enjoyed this peaceful world enough yet. And my engagement party was near.

'I have no choice but to stop it, huh?'

Well, it was also aligned with my goal, so I didn't really mind going around. More importantly, about all of it...

"I guess I need to stop by the church to cure Ertha and then make Queen Eve the ruler."

That way, the ambassador from the Sin Kingdom would definitely come to offer congratulations or greet the new ruler. That ambassador would be Duke Blacktomb. Then using my connection with him, I would have him invite me through the legal way to the Sin Kingdom.

'The Goddess is sly. Queen Eve's coronation is practically set in stone with her blessing, and I just need to punish the Nobles who cursed Ertha and found what their objective was.'

It was what I needed to keep in mind. My disappointment was immeasurable, and I might use a rather roundabout way to get information from this noble. When I was done, I was afraid that his mind wouldn't be left intact.

'But that's for later. Curing Ertha is the most important thing to do now.'
