◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
My eyes fluttered open.
The alcohol that had engulfed my entire body had long since disappeared.
I tried to sit up, but a heavy weight on both my arms made me turn my head.
Floretta and Luna were sleeping, each using one of my arms as a pillow.
They were completely naked, their bodies pressed tightly against mine as they held me close.
The memories of last night came flooding back, and my lower half began to stir.
Trying to maintain my composure, I carefully separated myself from them.
I, too, was completely naked, just like the Popes.
“Mmm…”
As the warmth they had been clinging to disappeared, Floretta and Luna made strange noises and fumbled with their arms.
I gently nudged Floretta’s back.
The Popes’ bodies pressed together.
They snuggled into each other and drifted back to sleep.
I averted my gaze from the sight of their nipples hardening against each other and got out of bed.
It was an absurdly huge bed.
It felt like the bed alone was the size of a small room.
‘Where are my clothes?’
I looked around.
I needed to get out of here, but I couldn’t find my clothes anywhere.
I couldn’t walk around the hallway naked.
Even with all the confidence in the world, I wasn’t keen on being labeled a pervert.
But no matter where I looked, I couldn’t find the clothes I had taken off.
There wasn’t even a towel to cover myself with.
The only thing I could use was the blanket on the bed, but the Popes were using it.
Except for the massive bed and the shower, the room was filled with nothing but golden ornaments.
It was definitely not an ordinary place.
As I stood there awkwardly in the middle of the room, not knowing what to do, the door suddenly burst open.
Two women entered, one with short, golden hair that reached her collarbone and the other with a silver ponytail long enough to wrap around her body several times.
“Did you have a peaceful night, esteemed guest?”
“Oh my, you’re up early? I thought you’d still be asleep.”
It was Stella and Selene.
They were about to enter the room, but they stopped short when they saw me standing in the middle of it.
More precisely, they stopped short when they saw my cock, still standing at an almost vertical angle.
Selene jumped back in surprise and hurriedly covered her face with her hair, while Stella covered her face with her hand.
But her fingers were spread wide apart, so it was practically useless.
Her green eyes peeked through her fingers, glancing repeatedly at my lower half.
I tried to cover myself, but I realized that due to its size, it was impossible to hide it completely with my bare hands, no matter what position I took, so I gave up.
The only way to completely conceal it was to turn around.
“Instead of just staring, could you at least give me my clothes? What’s so interesting about it that you keep looking?”
“Ah, ahem. Yes, I apologize, esteemed guest. You were standing so majestically that I was lost in thought.”
Stella made a comment that made it hard to tell what exactly she found so majestic, then approached me and handed me the clothes she was holding.
I hurriedly put them on.
I felt much more at ease now that my body was covered.
“Where are the other Knight Commanders?”
“The nuns are taking care of them. They woke up briefly and asked for water, but they’ve been asleep ever since. They drank a whole glass of Moon’s Kiss, so they won’t wake up until this afternoon at the earliest.”
“…But I drank the same amount.”
“You possess divine power, esteemed guest. Why do you think Moon’s Kiss is only offered to the faithful?”
Ah, so that was it.
I was relieved that the worst-case scenario had been avoided.
The worst-case scenario I had imagined was the Knight Commanders waking up before me, searching for me, and finding me in bed with the Popes.
As I sighed in relief, Stella glanced at Floretta and Luna, sleeping soundly in each other’s arms on the bed.
A warm smile spread across her face.
“I don’t know what to say, I have mixed feelings.”
“About what?”
“It’s the first time I’ve seen the Pope of the Sun sleeping so peacefully. She always wears a benevolent smile, but she never smiles in her sleep. She’s either sad or melancholic.”
“…”
“But now she’s sleeping so peacefully… I should be happy, but I can’t help but feel teary-eyed.”
Stella, erasing the wistful expression from her face, smiled brightly.
“This is all thanks to you, esteemed guest. I keep feeling this, but I can’t thank you enough.”
Having witnessed firsthand how much the Popes had suffered because of the prophecy, Stella’s emotions must have been particularly deep.
Although a good portion of their peaceful sleep was probably due to the sex we had last night.
That thought kind of ruined the mood.
“…Esteemed guest, may I ask you a question?”
Selene, who had been frozen with her face covered by her ponytail, finally seemed to have recovered as she cautiously spoke.
“Go ahead. What is it?”
“You might find this rude or presumptuous, but have you considered staying in our Holy Kingdom instead of returning to the Empire—”
“I’m sorry, but that would be difficult right now.”
I cut off Selene’s request without hesitation.
Maybe after finishing the main story, but at this point, even if I wanted to stay in the Holy Kingdom, I’d still have to return to the Empire for the sake of the main story’s progression.
Besides, who knew what Cecilia might do after being “robbed” of me.
“Right now, you say… I understand, esteemed guest. I apologize for the unreasonable request.”
Selene quietly retreated, pondering the words “right now.”
Her purple eyes were shining faintly.
The Knight Commanders finally woke up in the afternoon, groaning, and even after regaining consciousness, they spent the entire next morning in bed, being cared for by the nuns.
According to Claudia, it felt like the alcohol had seeped into every corner of her body.
Seeing her giggling about how she had never been so drunk in her life, it seemed she wasn’t in any real pain.
Lize clung to my side, refusing to let go.
Thanks to her, I ended up spending the whole day lying in bed as well.
It was a pleasant enough time, aside from the incident where she tried to suggest I secretly pleasure her with my hand while the nuns were still in the room, and ended up getting turned on herself.
Iris and Erica quietly suffered from their hangovers.
Iris seemed to be bearing it well, but Erica, who had a particularly low tolerance for alcohol, was groaning miserably.
The Moon’s Kiss must have been incredibly potent, as the Knight Commanders weren’t able to fully recover even by the next evening.
Naturally, our return to the Empire was delayed.
In the end, we left two days later than originally planned.
“You’re leaving now.”
Floretta saw us off with a wistful expression.
Luna stood beside her, wearing the same look.
Stella and Selene were positioned a little distance away from the Popes.
The number of people seeing us off was both large and small.
It wasn’t a large number in the absolute sense, as there were only four of them, but those four were the Pope of the Sun, the Inquisitor of the Sun, the Pope of the Moon, and the Inquisitor of the Moon.
Who could complain about the number when the two Popes, who were practically the Holy Kingdom itself, and the Inquisitor of the Sun and Inquisitor of the Moon, who were considered the pinnacle of the Holy Kingdom’s military power, were all gathered in one place?
“We would have been happy for you to stay in the Holy Kingdom forever… but it would be rude to hold you back any longer after you’ve decided to leave. May your journey be peaceful.”
Floretta and Luna had returned to their usual Pope personas, with no trace of the women who had just a few days ago been kissing, intertwining their tongues, licking each other’s private parts, and getting lost in pleasure.
Their attire had also returned to their usual holy garments, instead of those outrageous “dresses.”
Even though their usual outfits were shockingly revealing when I first saw them, they were much better than those dresses that were an insult to the very concept of clothing.
It was a moment that made me realize that exposure was truly a relative concept.
“Thank you for your hospitality, Your Holiness.”
Iris bowed her head respectfully.
Floretta smiled brightly in response.
“Not at all. We are the ones who have received a far greater grace. A grace so great that it cannot be measured by material means.”
Their green and purple eyes turned to me at the same time.
“Esteemed guest.”
“…Yes?”
“Before you leave, we have something for you. Could you come here for a moment?”
Suppressing the growing sense of unease, I approached Floretta.
I figured she wouldn’t do anything strange with so many eyes watching.
Floretta stood with her arms half-spread, waiting for me to approach.
Then, she pulled me into a tight embrace.
My face was buried between her massive breasts.
As I inhaled, the unique scent of her flesh, reminiscent of peaches, filled my nostrils.
“May the radiant sun always shine upon the path of this lamb. May he find the bright sun even amidst hardship and adversity.”
Pop.
Floretta finished her words and kissed my forehead.
Then, she kissed each of my cheeks, and finally, she gave me a long kiss on the lips before releasing me.
Next was Luna.
She buried my head between her breasts just as Floretta had done and recited a prayer.
“May the clear full moon always rise in the sky this lamb gazes upon. May the blue moon illuminate his path even amidst darkness and abyss.”
The process that followed was the same.
She kissed my forehead, then each of my cheeks, and finally, she gave me a long kiss on the lips.
Dumbfounded, I spoke.
“Your Holiness, what is this…?”
“It is a blessing spell passed down through generations of Popes. This is our first time using it, so we only know that it bestows blessings. It shouldn’t harm you in any way, esteemed guest.”
Was sticking my head between her breasts and kissing me a blessing?
I returned to my original position with mixed feelings.
I could feel piercing gazes on my back, and it wasn’t hard to guess who they belonged to.
But, surprisingly, Lize, who I had expected to react the most strongly, had a calm expression.
Come to think of it, she had tried to say something before but had stopped herself.
As I tried to ignore the stares piercing into me, the Pope of the Moon drew a circle beneath us.
Seeing her cast teleportation without even a divine catalyst, I was reminded that she was indeed the Pope.
“We look forward to seeing you again, esteemed guests.”
“May peace be with you.”
With the Popes’ farewell, a silvery light enveloped us.
I felt a floating sensation, and the light pricked at my eyelids.
Even with my eyes closed, everything seemed bright.
The light soon faded.
My vision turned black again.
As the floating sensation subsided, I opened my eyes and found ourselves back in Aurora’s mansion garden, where we had first departed.
I looked around.
This time, all of the Knight Commanders were fine.
I saw Lize and Claudia sighing in relief.
It seemed the previous teleportation experience had left quite an impression on them.
I thought that since we were already at the mansion, we might as well report to Aurora first.
‘…Huh?’
An unexpected sight unfolded before our eyes.
