Adventurer's Quest (House Hunting) (Patreon)

((Y/N)'s POV)

I was burning up so badly from how I acted in the dungeon no thanks to Dantalia and I could not look at anyone. Not only did I become such a coward and a baby, but the places where I wanted to hide... I just wanted to disappear into the ground and die from embarrassment. The girls said it was fine and Dantalia even bragged that it was because of her and she found it funny, so a few of the girls attacked her, even Grace, but none of them could hit her before she grabbed them and walked while holding them into the air. When we got to a good spot to rest, Dantalia really wanted to sit next to me, but I didn't want to sit next to anyone... I didn't get a choice, but Chelsie kept me on her lap while holding a knife at Dantalia to keep her and her tentacles away.

Dantalia-Oh don't act like you didn't enjoy it. I saw your dream. ~

Chelsie-Shut. Up.

We rested a little while longer before we started to get down to business. Everyone wanted a place to live and I thought about home, but I don't think everyone would be welcome and Grace would be forced to go back to her home, so that is out of the question. I was still nervous to talk to the others after I hid under their dresses and begged for a tongue bath.

Luna-We have Zahara's treasure, so we can buy whatever we want. The big cabin is remote and perfect for what we want.

Lillian-I want a good location too. Close enough to a kingdom and church.

Dantalia-I see you had this conversation before.

Amara-Stay out of our heads!

Chelsie-Well... She's right. I'll just go to a kingdom and look for a cabin or something isolated from the city to buy.

I guess we just need to get this started and then we can pick. Luna transformed and they put me and Grace on top of her for a ride to the town. I was hugged from behind and it made me burn up even if I did nothing with Grace...

<figure></figure>

Grace-You know... In the future together, my mother told me that sometimes even the strongest man can be vulnerable around his wife. ~

(Y/N)-Um... Ok.

Grace-And lap pillows can be the best. ~

She kissed my cheek and the others looked at us, but I saw Dantalia wave a tentacle at me, so I covered my ears. I saw her chuckle a little and even heard it before she hopped up on Luna.

Luna-*Growl*.

Grace pulled me back into her and had a magic attack ready for her and even shot it, but Dantalia hit it with a tentacle to break it.

<figure></figure>

Dantalia-Oh settle down. If I was going to do anything, I would have done it by now. Let's be friends here... I know you would love a bit of obedience and affection. ~

Grace-*Scoof* My future husband is perfect the way he is! He will be like that with me on his own terms!

(Y/N)-Um, Grace-.

Grace-Not now.

Dantalia-I can help you. In a few seconds, I could have him burying himself into your lap and calling you 'Honey'. ~

This made her blush and look at me for a moment before Hamah just took me from both of them and held me like a baby.

Hamah-No hypnotizing Ba-Baby!

I looked over to Dantalia again and she blew me a kiss before I heard something in my head.

Dantalia's mind-I could even make you act like a baby and breastfeed you. You won't be able to call me Mommy, but you can babble it. ~

I shook my head and she chuckled a little. Why does she have to be so weird to be around? I had a lot going in my head and I was scared she was reading my mind again... Her smiling at me made me shiver and hide deeper into Hamah. She put her hammer behind her back before scratching mine.

(Y/N)'s mind-Just stay away from her and she can't make you a baby. Easy.

Dantalia's mind-But we will be living together, Cutie. You think you can fight off a SSS-rank monster like me? ~

(Y/N)'s mind-Get out of my head!

Dantalia's mind-So cute. ~

(Calvin's POV)

I was in the cage area in the arena looking at the beast that would soon be killed. People should be gathering tomorrow to watch my son fight with his party and felt like my name was going to be saved. That was before a door was swung open from behind me and I saw Vita looking angry. I wonder what happened.

<figure></figure>

Calvin-Vita, is something the matter?

Vita-King Calvin... This fight will 'not' be happening.

Calvin-... Excuse me? It will be happening. It's already decided and you will be out there with my son. His safety is with you.

Vita-His safety is in jeopardy if his father thinks that any of this is a good idea!

I have no idea what has gotten into her, but I am putting an end to this now and putting her back in her place.

Calvin-You are speaking to your king! Did you or did you not swear an oath to me?!

Vita-I swore an oath to a man I carried about when he was but a prince and to protect his family and kingdom! If you put those in danger on purpose and for foolish reasons then it is you that has betrayed my oath and loyalty!

Calvin-I can have you not only fired, but excited from this kingdom! What has gotten into you!

Vita-I'm not the one who is sending a little boy in an arena with a monster while another is out there with even more monsters!

Calvin-That's what this is about?! (Y/N) out there with another team?! He's fine!

Vita-You drove him away, made staff keep quiet about his mistreatment behind our backs, and all while pretending it is 'OK'!!!

She activated her skill 'final sword' and swung her blade to release a wave of razor-sharp magic to go past me, cut through the cage, and slice the beast's head off.

Calvin-HAVE YOU GONE MAD?!?!?! GUARDS!!!

In moments over a dozen guards came into the room and with the only opponent being seen as the captain they looked confused at first, but had their swords pointed at her. To think she would do all of this because she is obsessed with my useless son out of the castle that she would through her ranking away. She only looked around and did not look scared at all which pissed me off.

Calvin-You really want to throw what I could have given you away for some useless offspring that can not even wield a sword up to his own name?!... Well, I don't need you and you can go out in the forest of the kingdom you once served!

Vita-So this is who you really are?... To think I was so blind to kind words and royal bloodlines that I swore myself... to you.

Calvin-You did more than that! You were never as smart as you thought you were either because all those times I had my way with you like a common whore, you never saw how much (Y/N) was a stain to all of us and you helped my oldest beat him in every fight when you helped him as well! (B/N) loved every last bit of it when he fooled all of you too like the puppet you are, the slave Celia is, and the bimbo Aurora is! I EVEN GOT THAT PISS STAIN TO SHUT HIS FUCKING MOUTH!!!

It felt so good to say this all to her while she got really mad and gritted her teeth since it was all she could do. I even laughed to myself a little.

Aurora-Calvin?

Just then I was lost in shock and saw Aurora and Celia come from around the door here.

<figure></figure><figure></figure>

Aurora-You... never loved (Y/N)?... Is that what you and (B/N) think of me?

She looked hurt and even Celia tried to comfort her. I felt so angry with all the looks the girls were giving me. That's when Vita looked back at me with a cold look while my wife looked at me in tears.

Vita-I am leaving this kingdom with my belongings and I am taking my friends. When I level to go find your son, I will fulfill my oath by protecting the good in this family, and if anyone tries to stop us, I will kill them.

She took a step and the guards tried to stop her, she used her flare skill to blind us for a short moment. When I regained my vision I saw the girls were walking out the door and the guards were dead on the ground. I grabbed my sword and my anger grew, but then my mind reminded me of her abilities Final sword, Sonic wave, and Flare as well as her always beating me in sparring matches in my prince years.

(Aurora's POV)

I didn't want to believe it, but his words and actions made sense now and I couldn't believe I was betrayed like this. I was leaning on Celia while crying on the way to my room to get clothes and makeup that I would need while the others got packed. We all stayed together for Vita to take care of any guards sent to stop us. I never stopped crying even after we packed food, water, some weapons and potions to leave the castle. My happy memories were all tainted for years to come.

Aurora-My youngest... *hic* Does he think I am a bimbo as well?

Celia-Hey, (Y/N) was the sweet one. He just wanted to prove himself and come back, so if it wasn't for his father and brother, it had to have been for you that he wanted to come back.

Aurora-... Really?

Vita-Don't let Calvin's words get to you. He played me for a fool as well with his act... If you want to make up for your mistake and overcome your betrayal, you can start by finding and apologizing to (Y/N)... I have my own apologies to give.

I still felt so betrayed and heartbroken by my husband and oldest son. I wanted to look back, but Vita didn't want me to.

Celia-Just look forward Aurora... Don't look back... It hurts.

Vita-Once we get to the next city, I will go to the guild (Y/N) is in to find out where his group is. I'll pay for magic crystals to get us faster results.

I wondered where my baby was now and wanted so badly to bring my other baby with me, but then he would hurt (Y/N) more and make him run away again. I didn't know what to do and had trouble keeping up until Vita carried me when we were out of the city.

Aurora's mind-(Y/N)... Where are you?

(No POV)

Meanwhile, over 200 miles away was the home that seemed perfect for the big adventuring team and after the tour, Chelsie pulled out 750 gold which was almost nothing Zahara's treasure to pay for the house in full on the spot.

<figure></figure>

Chelsie-We'll take it.
