The next day, as the sun begins to rise up from the horizon. Sir George and a few knights were watching over the carriages outside of the inn in the town of Edermines City. This town is just thirty miles northwest of the City of Eldermyst. The town is known for its coal mines, iron and steel forges, and the beautiful scenery of the Eldermyst forest to its east.

As the knights stood there waiting for someone to release them from their shift, the rest of the convoy slept inside Myst Inn. 

Their journey to Edermines City was peaceful for the most part. The road was free of any dangers and the weather was perfect. Rya was able to teach Johan a couple of spells that worked for his mage vein. What made Johan's Illusion Vein so unique compared to a normal Illusion Mage was that his illusion spells felt real to the touch, like they were solid objects instead of projections that you could just phase through.

So, when a normal mage casts an illusionary wall, you could walk right through it like it was nothing but air. While Johan's illusionary wall felt like an actual wall and it would stop you from walking through it. But these illusions weren't very durable, they would shatter and fade if the illusion was hit hard enough, like swinging a big stick into it, which could cause a disruption in the illusion's mana and make it disappear.

Rya was still trying to figure out what Johan's limit was and what type of illusion magic he could use. Luckily for him, Rya only had a few spells that he could use and the first one she taught him was Shadow Mimic. Johan was beside himself when he successfully cast his first incantation ever in his life and he was even more thrilled with how simple it was. It was his childhood dream to become a mage and now he was finally getting the chance to live it.

And the best thing about the spell is that he could mimic non-living objects, like rocks, dead trees, or even a carriage. Sadly the illusionary carriage could only last ten feet before it would disappear after being pulled by a horse. But other than that, his illusions could last anywhere from five hours to ten depending on how big and detailed it was, as long as no one tried to disturb the illusion's mana, like sitting on it or bumping into it, which would speed up the process and make the illusion disappear faster. But if no one touched it, then the illusion would remain in place until the mana ran out. Shadow Mimic was the perfect beginner spell for an Illusion Mage and the most popular incantation for this class of mages. So Rya wasn't surprised with how quickly Johan learned how to use it.

Rya also had some notes for the Dispell Illusion incantation and one other spell that was more advanced, known as Shadow Self. What made this incantation harder to cast for Illusion Mages was the large amount of mana they had to channel throughout certain parts of their body to successfully cast it. Shadow Minic was easy to cast because all a mage needed to do was channel some of their mana into their head and look at an area where they wished to create an illusion, before whispering the incantation. But Shadow Self needed to channel their mana into multiple parts of their body for this incantation to succeed, mainly having most of their mana flowing in the biceps and quads. While having a little in the head and chest. It took a lot of mana to cast Shadow Self but that wasn't the issue for Johan. What kept him from successfully casting this spell was his lack of control. He just didn't have the experience to have this kind of control and focus on where to channel his mana. This didn't deter him from trying and he continued to practice the incantation throughout the trip. Getting pointers from Rya every once in a while.

At one point during the trip. He almost pulled it off by sheer luck and when Johan saw a second version of himself. He lost his concentration and the illusion shattered before him. He could see his illusionary self through its own eyes and it had its own personality. Johan's mind struggled to deal with the information he was receiving. The feedback was too much and it made him lose his concentration, which in turn caused his illusion to dissipate. He was excited that he pulled it off for a few seconds but it left him with a headache and feeling exhausted afterward. Rya was amazed that Johan was able to create a copy of himself in such a short time.

After Johan recovered he tried to repeat the spell for over two hours with no success. Everyone told him to take a rest after a while so he didn't stress his mana vein. Rya didn't want Johan to experience "Mana Exhaustion" which would have turned him into dust if he had used all of his mana. Johan agreed and decided to work on his shadow mimic spell until he got a handle on the basics.

For Rya, when she first saw Johan's successful cast of Shadow Self, reminded her of Ellianna, also known as "The Left Hand" of the Dark Elf tribe of Sorellia. At the time Rya was still a human male and was starting to feel aroused after her first day of slaying Kobolts, to absorb their mana. She didn't know at the time that Ellianna was an Illusion Mage and must have been the rare version as well if she was able to touch Rya with all those illusions of herself.

It made her skin crawl thinking about another woman trying to touch her now. It was something she was still getting used to, turning into a woman and being attracted to Quinus was still new to her. It took a while for her to accept her new self but now that she has, she wanted to explore the new possibilities that came with it.

And admitting it she was happy to have someone who would be with her throughout the journey. It's something she didn't expect to happen to her on this trip through a fantasy world but now that she had the chance, she was going to take full advantage of it. So when the sun started creeping through the room that they were sharing. It made Rya wake up when the warmth of the sun's rays caressed her skin and when she turned over, she saw Quinus sleeping naked under the covers, with a big smile on his face. It was an adorable sight to see and she wanted to do something nice for him as a way to show her gratitude.

So, Rya quietly climbed out of their king-sized bed, making sure not to wake Quinus as she moved around the room. Once her bare feet touched the hardwood floor, she made her way over to the other side of the bed and pulled the covers slowly off of him.

He was still naked from their late-night romp, but Rya noticed he had a semi-hard cock. He must have been dreaming of something dirty. A wicked smirk appeared on her face as she climbed onto the bed and moved her head between his legs.

Rya gently grabbed the base of his shaft with one hand and slowly stroked his cock, causing him to moan in his sleep. 'Oh God! There's no turning back now. I just hope it doesn't taste bad.' she thought as her lips opened before moving her head down his shaft and sucking on the tip.

Rya was starting to get into the act of sucking his cock as she tried to take the whole thing in her mouth. When the tip touched the back of her throat, she gagged and quickly pulled her mouth off his cock.

"Fuck!" Quinus cried out in pleasure, waking up instantly. He looked down at Rya, who had a smile on her lips.

"Morning, babe. I didn't mean to wake you," she purred.

Quinus was surprised by this. Ever since Rya told him about her past, he never expected her to be comfortable with this. He's never tried to ask for her to go down on him. Because he didn't want to force her to do anything she wasn't ready for. It wasn't a deal-breaker for him. As long as he had Rya in his life, he was happy. But now that he knew she was okay with it, he was excited about this new step in their relationship.

"Well, this is a pleasant surprise," Quinus smiled, "Please don't stop on my account."

Rya's heart was pounding at the thought of sucking his cock again.

'W-Why is this turning me on?' She wondered before moving her lips around the tip of his cock and licking the head, causing him to moan. She loved the taste of his precum and couldn't get enough of it.

'He tastes amazing. A-And I feel like I have him under my control! F-Fuck! T-This is turning me on! Why am I getting turned on?!' Rya thought, feeling confused about why she was enjoying this so much.

"Goddess! Babe! That feels so good!" Quinus moaned out as he moved his hands on top of Rya's head and grabbed her hair before pulling her head downwards, forcing his cock deep into her throat.

Rya felt the tip of his cock hit the back of her throat and tried not to gag while some of his hot cum poured into her stomach. 'AUNGH!? B-But I was in control!? W-What's happening?!' Rya wondered, feeling a bit confused as to why she was getting turned on by having him pull her hair and fuck her throat. Rya thought she would panic at having his cock shoved down her throat, but instead, she found herself enjoying it. 'F-Fuck! I-I can't take it anymore! I-I need him inside me!'

"HOLY SHIT! RYA! FUCKING GODDESS!" Quinus cried out loudly. His body shook as his balls emptied into her mouth.

Rya's eyes widened when she realized what was going on.

'H-HE'S GOING TO CUM DOWN MY THROAT! FUCK! GET READY RYA!'

Quinus held Rya's head still as he continued to pump his load into her. "R-RYA!" He cried out once more, feeling his body shudder.

Rya felt her pussy start to drip with excitement as she swallowed every drop of cum that was coming from his dick like she had done this before. She couldn't believe how much she enjoyed swallowing his cum. It made her pussy jealous that his cock wasn't buried inside her right now. Why was her mouth getting all the action when her vagina needed to be filled with his seed.

She felt her clit pulsing with desire, begging to be touched, and when she couldn't resist it any longer. She brought one of her hands down and began fingering herself.

"Oh, Goddess! Thank you," Quinus panted.

Rya slowly released his cock from her mouth and licked the head. "Mmm. T-That was something I never thought I would like," she purred, looking at Quinus with lustful eyes.

Quinus' cock started to stiffen as he watched Rya lick her lips.

"Well, is there anything else I can do for my lady?"

"Yes, there is," Rya smirked.

"And what would that be?" He said in a coy tone.

"Fuck me!" Rya replied, getting up and positioning herself so her pussy was hovering above his cock. She placed her hands on his chest and slowly lowered her pussy onto his cock. 'OH FUCK!... My pussy can't get enough of him!' She thought.

"GAWD!" Rya cried out. She was amazed at how good his cock felt inside her.

Quinus couldn't believe how tight her pussy was.

"Shit! I didn't know that giving head would make you this tight."

"I know. It feels amazing."

Rya started moving her hips slowly. She wanted to savor the moment.

Quinus grabbed her ass cheeks, squeezing them hard.

"Aungh!? Q-Quin... Fuck! Your hands are so strong," Rya whimpered, loving how he squeezed her tan ass.

"I-I've always wanted to do this," he grunted, thrusting his hips upward and burying his cock deep inside her pussy.

"AUNH!? B-But we've done it so many times before?" Rya groaned, feeling his cock slide out of her pussy only for it to slam back inside her with enough force to send her tits bouncing.

"True but it never gets old," he smirked, moving his hands away from her ass and grabbing her large tits.

"Augh! Y-Yes, please, squeeze my tits," Rya gasped, feeling her pussy walls clamp down around his cock. Her uterus always seems to flutter every time he's deep inside her.

"M-My pussy can't get enough of you," she whispered, her body shaking slightly as his cock brushed against her cervix.

"Neither can my cock. F-Fuck! All I want to do is make you feel loved and happy," Quinus grunted, his cock throbbing inside her.

Rya leaned forward, wrapping her arms around his neck and pressing her breasts against his chest. She buried her face into his neck, kissing and biting him as he continued to thrust away.

"AGH!?" Quinus cried out, thrusting his hips harder, trying to fuck her faster.

"Aungh! Q-Quin! O-Oh, god! Y-Your cock is so big! You're making me so happy!" Rya whimpered, feeling her pussy quiver. She felt her uterus contract around his cock.

"R-Rya!" He grunted, thrusting his cock in and out of her even harder, his balls slapping against her ass.

"QUIN!" She screamed, her body tensing up as her pussy tightened around his cock.

"A-Are you going to cum?" Quinus asked as his body was trembling.

"Yes. I-I'm close. FUCKING UNLOAD EVERYTHING IN ME!"

Quinus couldn't hold back anymore. He was already on the verge of climaxing.

"OH FUCK! SHIT! I'M CUMMING!"

"QUIN!?" Rya cried out, her body shaking uncontrollably as her orgasm washed over her.

"GODDESS!" Quinus grunted as he emptied his balls inside her.

"AHH~?!" Rya moaned loudly, feeling his cum pour into her.

"FUCK!" Quinus panted, his cock pulsing as he pumped his seed deep inside her womb.

They both stayed locked together until the last drops of his cum poured into her. Then he rolled her over and got up off the bed. He smiled as he admired the beautiful view in front of him. Rya laid on her back, her legs spread wide, her pussy glistening with cum and juices.

'E-Every time he fucks me, it's like a fucking dream come true.'

"Goddess, I wish I could just fuck you all day long," he sighed.

"If only," Rya giggled.

Quinus leaned down, placing his forehead against hers while panting, "Y-You are something else. You know that right? Where did you learn to give head like that?"

"I don't know what came over me. It just happened naturally," she giggled.

"Haha... Yeah, I didn't expect you to give me a blowjob... I didn't hurt you, did I?"

"No. I'm fine," Rya replied, kissing him on the cheek.

"Good. I would never want to hurt you."

Rya blushed slightly, "Well, maybe it hurt a little... But in a good way. Like I said, I didn't expect to go down on you."

"Well, thank you... Is this going to be an everyday thing? Because I'm up for it." He smirked.

"Mmmm... We'll see," she said while pushing him off to the side as Quinus rolled onto the bed. Then she walked towards the bathroom.

Quinus sat up, watching her walk away, his eyes fixed on her perfect tan ass.

'Fuuuuck!... I would so like to go for another round. But that would get on Douglas' nerves if we are late, and he doesn't deserve that right now.'

"Are you going to watch me bathe or are you coming?" Rya asked in a playful tone.

Quinus was brought out of his thoughts by her voice.

"Huh? Oh, right."

He climbed off the bed, grabbed a towel, and followed her into the bathroom.

"You really like to stare, huh?" Rya smirked at him as she slipped into the tub.

"Rya... You used to be a man right? If you saw your new self when you were your old self. Wouldn't you want to tap dat ass? I mean damn."

"Oh? That doesn't sound like my Prince Charming talking," Rya teased as she looked at him.

Quinus smirked and shook his head as he slipped into the bath next to her.

"Well, that's what you've done to me, my love. You've turned me into a sex-crazed animal. I can't get enough of you. Every time we're together, it's like a whole new experience."

Rya couldn't help but laugh. "Mmmm... You're right. And you do the same to me," she giggled.

Quinus wrapped his arm around her shoulders and pulled her closer, resting her head against his chest.

"This is the life... But I'm sure this is nothing but the calm before the storm... Do you think I can pull off being a royal?" Rya asked him.

"I think you'll do fine. After all, you are a quick learner."

"Thanks... But the real question is can we make this relationship work in the eyes of the nobles?"

"That is the question, isn't it? However, I know we will succeed. We will make them see what a wonderful woman you are."

Rya smiled and leaned forward, pressing her lips against his. They were like that for minutes before Rya pulled away first.

"That's not what I meant, Quin. I meant it as how am I supposed to conceive a child when I ovulate once every decade or so? I don't want them to force us apart."

"Hmm... Well, I'm sure we'll come up with something. I mean, you were able to read those books of dead tongues, right? Maybe, there's an alchemy book that has a potion or a spell to fix that." Quinus replied, stroking her hair.

"I hope so... Because I'm not leaving. Even if the thought of carrying your child scares me. I'm not giving up my happiness no matter what... I love you, Quinus. And nothing will change that," she smiled.

"And I love you too, babe. I promise that no one will tear us apart. We'll figure this out," he said.

"Right. Let's stop worrying about that and enjoy ourselves."

"I couldn't agree more," he chuckled.

They were quiet for a few moments as they sat there in the tub. The two enjoyed each other's embrace when Quinus spoke up again.

"I know this is off-topic, but didn't you say that you healed Nieren just like Johan?"

"Yeah... It's strange though. Her mana vein had some seals on them. It was like someone deliberately nerfed her," Rya explained.

"Nerfed? What's that?"

"It's a video game term meant for making her weaker on purpose."

"Why would someone do that? Did they not trust her?"

"Who knows," Rya sighed.

"So, it's a mystery then?... Well, that's not foreboding at all... I guess there's no point in dwelling on it for now. But I want to get back to the main subject. You said she's a mage as well, correct?"

Rya was wondering why he was so curious about Nieren's mage veins.

"Yeah... She's a light mage and she can use the green word as well... Why are you so curious about her?"

"Well, because I thought you were going to train her as well... But I haven't seen you trying to teach her anything yet," Quinus replied, his expression showing some confusion.

Rya looked at him with a smile and chuckled a bit, "Yeah... Nieren is an oddball. She told me to not bring it up in front of her mother... I think she is worried about Yuliana cramping her style or something. She told me to teach her everything I know once we get to the capital."

"Ah, so she is embarrassed by her mother then? I can understand that," he said, nodding his head in agreement.

"I think it's cute... Anyway, do you think you can help me gain access to the Mage's Guild in the capital?"

"The Mage's Guild? Well, I think I can arrange that. But I've never been a fan of the Mage's Guild over there... The grand master there is a bit of an asshole," he replied, thinking about the man who insulted him when he failed the mage's test at the age of eight.

"Huh? What did he do?"

"Well, let's just say that he's not the nicest person... And he really wished—No... Demanded that I was a mage even though I was failing the test. He belittled me in front of my parents and questioned if I really had a Demi-god tiered vein," he explained, his eyes narrowing.

Rya smirked and chuckled again, "Well... He's right... You don't have a Demi-god mana vein. You have a Summoned vein instead. Which is way better at absorbing mana than a Demi-god vein."

Quinus nodded his head, "I guess you are right... But I don't know why I haven't heard from the Goddess who reincarnated me. You said that made you respect her more than the other Gods, right?"

"Well, we all make mistakes," Quinus said, hugging her close.

Rya smiled and closed her eyes.

"Yes, we do. I just hope I don't make any mistakes when dealing with the nobles," she replied, enjoying his embrace.

"Don't worry. We'll make it through this. Together," Quinus replied reassuringly.

They stayed like that for a few minutes before they heard a knock on their door. A Royal Knight opened the door slightly and spoke.

"Lady Rya, Prince Quinus. We have breakfast ready down in the tavern. The general would like to leave within the hour," Lady Rachel stated.

"Tell him we'll be down soon, and thanks," Rya answered her.

"Very well, Lady Rya," she replied, closing the door.

"So, I guess our fun time is done," Quinus said, disappointedly.

"Yep," she sighed.

"Alright. I'll get out first," Quinus said, standing up and exiting the bath.

"Wait! I need to dry off too!" Rya said, climbing out of the tub and running after him.

Quinus grabbed his robe and headed back to his room.

"Well, I guess we should hurry and get dressed," he said, grabbing his clothes.

"Right," she replied, drying herself off and grabbing a yellow dress with a black underclothing set.

Quinus watched her put the outfit on, his eyes taking in her naked body.

"Hey, perv! Quit staring at me!"

"I can't help it. You have a beautiful body," he said, his voice filled with admiration.

"Stop being such a sweet talker," she blushed.

"It's true," he said, grinning.

Rya rolled her eyes and continued getting dressed. Everything was going smoothly until she tightened her corset. It seemed a little tighter around her belly area, causing her to struggle.

"Dammit... How is it this tight?" she grunted, pulling the laces harder.

"Need help?" Quinus asked, smirking at her.

"I'm fine," she said, straining.

"Okay," he said, putting on his shirt.

He had just finished buttoning it up when she finally managed to tie the corset. She panted slightly as she took a deep breath.

"See, told you I could do it," she said, grinning.

"Yeah, yeah. Just don't hurt yourself. Or you'll have to get a personal maid," he teased.

Rya tried to laugh it off but in the back of her mind, she was worried. 'Dammit! Am I getting fat? Maybe I should cut down on the sweets,' she thought.

"You done daydreaming?" Quinus asked her, breaking her from her thoughts.

"Yeah. Let's go," she said, grabbing her cloak and walking out the door.
