Reborn As The Minor Villain In A Romance Fantasy Novel - Chapter 274: Hollowmire
"Haaaahhhh... this is so much fun." Vanessa said with pure exhilaration as she performed a graceful flip in the air with her parachute, her body rotating smoothly despite the resistance of the canopy above her.
Elena looked at her while folding her arms across her chest with a stern expression.
Her hair blew wildly in the wind as she observed everyone around her in the sky.
They were all having fun, laughing and calling out to each other, and she would have been enjoying herself too if this annoying Saintess wasn’t constantly floating next to her in the air.
She didn’t know why but she just despised the woman, and the way she had been glancing about Lucius ever since she got over here.
"You’re glaring at me~" Rita teased as she held onto the straps of her own parachute, her pink hair blowing dramatically in the wind like ribbons. "Did I offend you somehow?"
Elena sighed heavily, the sound lost in the rush of air around them.
"Not necessarily, but then again, I find your entire existence deeply annoying." Elena said bluntly as they dropped from the air together, descending at a steady pace.
She pulled the left strap harder, pushing herself away from Rita’s position. "Especially the way you constantly look at my Lucius with those eyes, you thirsty whore."
Rita said nothing in immediate response, though she pulled on her own straps to move her parachute away from Elena as well, creating more distance between them.
"It’s not my fault at all..." Rita said quietly, her voice barely carrying over the wind. It was more or less Lucius’s fault for not giving her the warmth that she desperately needed from him.
It had been a while since they had spent time together enough for him to hold her, and even though she had touched herself repeatedly to the picture Luna sent to the group chat yesterday, she was slowly going crazy from unfulfilled need.
Elena wanted to respond with something cutting and harsh, however there was a sudden shout from above and both of them glanced up simultaneously.
Luke was free-falling from the air without a parachute deployed, his body tumbling through the air like a cannonball, and they quickly pushed their straps in opposite directions, drifting further apart and letting him fall through the gap between them.
He screamed at the top of his lungs as he plummeted downward and then even passed by Luna who calmly raised a hand.
"I knew it! That bastard took my bracelet!" Luke shouted out desperately as he fell, his voice filled with panic.
However, the momentum of his fall suddenly stopped completely and abruptly. He was no longer falling at all, instead he remained suspended in the air as if frozen by invisible forces.
Luna drifted down slowly and gently took his hand in hers.
"You should really stop blaming Lucius for absolutely everything, brother... you forgot it at the mansion this morning." Luna said as her parachute was suddenly weighed down by two people instead of one, but that weight turned back to normal as she used her Momentum Shift spells to stabilize the descent.
"Forgot? I could have sworn I wore it when we left..."
It was Stella who floated down next and extended her hand toward him. There was a bracelet sitting in her palm, the one that contained his mechanical suit in compressed form.
"You left it on the table in the kitchen... I helped you carry it along." Stella said, and he slowly took it from her hand with confusion.
He could have sworn he wore it before they left the mansion, but then again... maybe he genuinely forgot in his panic to get on the plane.
Until he looked down at Lucius who was free-falling alongside them with a knowing grin spread across his face as he looked directly at Luke.
’Was that an illusion he made me see...?’ Luke thought suspiciously as he let go of Luna’s hand and his bracelet shone brightly.
The boot compartments with repulsors assembled quickly under his feet with mechanical precision.
There was no mention anywhere in any documentation that Lucius was able to do illusions or mental manipulation, so he engaged his thrusters and floated downward, attributing the whole thing to simple forgetfulness.
The girls began landing on the grassy ground one by one in sequence, starting with Vanessa who landed expertly on her boots and immediately looked up at the others still descending.
Then Luna, Celia, and Stella touched down safely in quick succession, followed by Amber who landed with ease.
Elena and Rita came next, still engaged in some kind of ongoing playfight even as they touched the ground.
Elara followed smoothly with perfect form, and so did Villy and Lilliane, whose fox ears and tail were twitching excitedly as she landed safely on the grass.
Selene, on the other hand, had deliberately floated in the ocean’s direction with her parachute to retrieve Emilia, who had been blown off course by her and landed in the water.
Selene sighed as she took a good look at Emilia, who was completely soaked from head to toe and whose parachute was also floating uselessly on the water surface.
"Everyone said you’re a big pervert and I now completely believe them." Selene said as she approached for landing.
However, when her feet touched the water surface, they stayed on top since she poured mana into them, allowing her to walk on the surface. "Anything to say for yourself, Sister-wife Emilia?"
"I pride myself on being a pervert." Emilia said confidently as she raised a dripping hand toward Selene for help. "And Daddy loves me for it..."
"Isn’t it weird... calling him Daddy like that?" Selene asked curiously. She was aware that it was usually something you said when you were in the heat of passionate things with your lover, but why was Emilia saying it even when they were outside in public?
"Weird... not at all." Emilia replied without shame, and Selene took her hand firmly, pulling her out of the water with enhanced strength. "Besides, even though he acts like he doesn’t care about it, Lucius actually likes being called Daddy... Oh, and Master I think. I’m just trying to get laid more often."
They had done it the first time and she couldn’t have enough of it afterward. It was not her fault at all. In fact, it was entirely his fault for making her like this and failing to take accountability for his actions.
"But if you’re thinking I’m the biggest pervert, then you’re completely wrong..." Emilia said as she pressed mana into her own feet and stood atop the water surface, while taking off her soaked parachute and folding it up carefully. "Big sis Vanessa is an even bigger pervert than me. I’m just open and honest about it."
"I see..." Selene muttered thoughtfully. To solidify her position in Lucius’s heart, then she needed to up her pervert game considerably, though she had to see first if calling him Daddy while they weren’t having sex was even rewarding in the first place.
They walked back across the water surface to the others waiting on shore, and the plane was still circling high above them in the sky like a bird.
"How was the skydiving experience, everyone?" Selene asked with a warm smile as she approached the assembled group.
Lucius was sitting casually on a big rock on the field and smiling at her, which made her chest feel pleasantly warm.
"It’s the best thing ever!" Celia said with a small enthusiastic jump, and the girls nodded in enthusiastic agreement around her.
"Though I think we’ll need to do it more times..." Elena was the one who said this, surprising everyone with her unexpected admission. "It helps me clear my head of unwanted thoughts."
"I see... does everyone want to do it again? What about you, Mother?" Selene asked, turning to Stella.
Stella smiled warmly at the question.
"As long as it doesn’t cost you anything, then I’d gladly do it again..." Stella said with genuine happiness in her voice. "The feeling of wind rushing against my face is simply to die for."
She smiled and everyone did as well, infected by her contagious joy.
It was abundantly clear to everyone that they wanted to go again.
"Though, how will we get back up there?" Stella asked practically, looking up at the distant plane, and Lucius snapped his fingers once.
Instantly, they were all in the plane once more, except for Emilia who remained standing on the ground below.
Even Luke was back on the top of the plane and probably screaming in absolute terror again.
Emilia walked over to Lucius calmly, not bothered by being left behind.
"Daddy... you didn’t send me up too. Did something happen?" Emilia asked with curiosity, and a bottle appeared in Lucius’s hand through spatial manipulation as he flicked it over to her casually.
She caught it easily with both hands.
"That’s for you." He said simply, and she looked at the bottle with interest before uncorking it. A certain sweet smell that she recognized immediately wafted out and her expression changed as if she was drooling.
"Daddy, is this what I think it is?" She asked as she drank a bit of it just to be absolutely sure. It really was.
It was his cum stored carefully in a bottle. "Thank you... You’ve made this day wonderful for me."
Lucius smiled at her gratitude. Getting thanked as if his cum was a precious blessing never got old to him. He patted his lap invitingly.
"Come sit. Let’s wait for them to get down." Lucius said. "We have to enjoy this vacation to the fullest."
And so Emilia did sit down on his lap contentedly, drinking from the bottle occasionally. The girls had already started falling from the plane high above, and Selene could see it with her own eyes as she descended through the air.
’I see... so he likes being called Daddy during sex and while not having sex.’ She thought as she fell from the sky, her silver hair streaming behind her.
She would definitely use this knowledge to her advantage.
...
Hours later, Lucius stood outside a building in a completely different part of the city. He was back in New Avalon with Villy at his side, having teleported them here.
She had won an event pick and decided to visit where one of her favorite thriller movies was shot.
However, she had specifically requested that she would be alone with Lucius for this, and since she was the one that picked the event, her voice was honored.
The rest of the girls were still in Tideholm City enjoying themselves with another event as they would be coming later to join them.
Villy pulled his hand excitedly, her small fingers gripping tightly around his.
Apparently, they had transformed a whole small area of the city into a creepy town set. It was quite isolated from the main city and required knowing a lot of people on set to actually enter, but then it was Selene who had arranged everything.
She got it done within thirty minutes of being asked.
"M... my... my lord... we’re actually standing in Hollowmire." Villy said as her eyes glowed with pure fascination, her voice trembling with overwhelming excitement. "It’s... the... actual set..."
She felt like she could faint from the sheer emotion of it all, but alas, something placed a hand on her shoulder and she screamed while jumping forward.
As she turned around quickly, she was facing a dwarf with similar height as herself and pointed ears, but covered in pale makeup and her hair was styled in pigtails.
"Sorry fer scarin’ ya there, lass..." The woman said with a heavy Scottish accent, her voice lilting musically. "Welcome tae Hollowmire. What’s yer name, ya wee bud?"
Villy closed the distance immediately and held the woman’s hands with sparkly, star-filled eyes that were practically glowing.
"Miss Lala... the strongest Warden in the whole lands..." Villy said breathlessly, her voice cracking with pure emotion. "I’m honored to meet you. I’m so, so, SO honored to meet you! This is literally the best day of my entire life!"
