The rest of the trip went basically the same way. Bit of teasing, bit of flirting, bit of stopping myself from grabbing a handful of that sweet little ass. Despite not being huge, it was amazing perky and round, just big enough that it should have been impossible for it to be so bouncy without being more toned than it was. I spent WAY more time staring than I probably should have, but this trip was probably the longest I'd gone without getting my nut since I was thirteen, so I could be forgiven some drooling.
When we finally arrived though, Amy literally squealed with excitement when the town came into view, spurring Ypsilos to his top speed to close the distance so fast that I had to augment my horse with a bit of wind magic to keep up. She bolted up to the gate, swung herself down from her horse, and then slowly took a breath to calm down before allowing a composed and regal expression to slide over her face. It was almost cute.
When she started in I saw the bandits drooling over her, but the second they spotted me their eyes snapped forward, not daring to lay eyes on one of my women. I had to smile at that. Whatever Sally had been doing to those poor bastards was working wonders. Having her and Waylon run the training had been a good choice. I led Amy into the village, Roderick following behind us, and took her to the Berry Orchard.
I popped the door open, gesturing for her to get inside, and when she stepped in I almost had to cover my ears at the excited squeal. Amy wasn't such a big squealer on the ride over, but something about being in my town was making her extra excitable, probably because this all seemed like some kind of grand romantic adventure to her. The Orchard itself helped I imagined, since the place was absolutely gorgeous and smelled amazing. I plucked a few berries and passed them to her, making sure to feed her the first by hand. And the moan and eye roll of enjoyment she gave struck me as a bit too erotic to be between friends, which was nice.
Once we got her settled in though, I plopped down in a chair to look her over. "So, what do you think so far? My council is busy for the moment so I can't introduce you, so I figured we could look over the quarries first and you could say hi to everyone later. If you'll be around its best they learn to listen to you like they would me." They wouldn't be doing that, obviously. But they would be humoring her. The whole lady of the house thing made girls feel valued, and I wasn't going to be the one jumping through hoops so it hardly bothered me.
Some of the girls would mind, hence the wait before the introduction. I was going to have Zee pound the sulk out of Barbie with every bit of sex magic she had at her disposal and maybe a bit of dual bondage with Hildie before I introduced them. Barbie was possessive, and despite things getting better with Zee since we relieved the tension, competing with a literal princess who was too beautiful to be real was bound to tag more than a few of her insecurities. Best to have her nice and sated before they met.
Amy nodded jovially. "Of course! I'm so excited to see everything. The berries here are so much better than the ones back home, and I have this comfy bed, and everyone here seems so nice! I can't believe you got your town built up to this extent in only a few months. You must have a real talent for this!" I'd brought her through the middle of the town, partly to show off but partly to make sure that everyone saw her. Emerald would almost definitely have people here by now, and knowing Amy and Roderick were around would keep them the fuck out of my business, at least for now.
Speaking of, I figured I'd ask her about that. "So, do you know much about Emerald? I was worried about catching their attention, I have some distant family members under my command, but no one in the direct line. Being neighbors you must know a thing or two." We could use any actual information we could get. I had zero intention of taking a loss when dealing with them, even a minor one. We might have a position of strength to operate from, but insight never hurt.
To my surprise, Amy grinned. "Well yeah, of course." Her voice was just as excited but less giggly than before, more genuinely happy. "My best friend is the princess of Emerald. Emmy is the absolute sweetest person. Emerald are the most compassionate bloodline. They can communicate with animals and help plants grow. Honestly you're lucky to have landed here. I'd be worried about any other bloodline, but not Emerald. You'll be safe with them." Her smile was obviously meant to be reassuring, but I just stared at her.
She...couldn't be serious right? No one was that naive. Maybe Ingrid could have gotten away with an attitude like that, but if Amy still believed shit like that then she hadn't been a princess for nearly long enough. It was almost enough to make me feel bad about planning to fuck her into a simpering love slave. Almost. Ok, no it wasn't. If anything I'd be doing her a favor. The poor thing needed someone looking out for her or she was going to get klilled. I always kept my things safe, so once she was mine she'd be perfectly alright.
She didn't seem to notice the horrified gape luckily, and just kept chattering on about her friend Emmy, who I made a note to collect if I could. Another princess would be useful, and I kind of wanted to try two at once. I might be able to pull off some neat things back home with a beast tamer. Plus I was interested to see if I could upgrade her a bit and get my own Poison Ivy. I held out a hand to Amy. "Well then, since we're having such a nice day, why don't we go for a walk and I can show you the quarries. They're a beautiful sight."
She put her hand in my shyly, looking up at me with big shining eyes. Our time together on the trip had really gone as well as expected. I'd been slowly shifting over from the urbane well mannered image to a more natural style of interaction. Every time I switched gears to throw her off I bothered a bit less with theatrics and before long I'd been mostly being myself. At this rate we would be able to head back soon. I had the pendant on me at all time in my pouch, and once I got the necessary points we could make our way home, though even with all this that was going to take a while.
My plans to screw over Doctor Gotham weren't complicated, but they WERE difficult. Even though my part of them was less intensive than Doctor Fate's. I'd just be giving him and a few of the League the opening they needed to hit the old bastard without having to deal with a limitless mana pool. I mentally shook off the thoughts though. I'd deal with that when the time came. I needed to Brand Amy, Zee, and get plenty of people and things under my control on top of that before I could get even close to the needed points values.
Amy and I left the orchard, heading for the caves off to one side of town. I'd set the quarry up pretty close, but in reality they weren't as close as I'd expected to be able to get them, because I'd had to find some veins of ore to actually merge the crystals with. A series of G ranked ore veins were a pain in the ass to arrange, but with my appraisal skill and a bit of help from Zee's spell I'd managed it, making the veins of the stuff I needed.
As we stepped into the cave, Amy's breath caught in her throat. I knew there were mines in Amethyst, but I doubted she spent time in them, not to mention they'd been picked clean on top of being lower ranked. All those factors combined meant that she was completely thrown when she took in the caves after we entered, and honestly, I didn't blame her at all.
As I'd noted before G ranked Amethysts had their own inner glow, a conglomeration of light inside them that shifted and moved on its own. In large concentrations and in a dark cave, the effect of the veins shot through the walls of the place was pretty damn mesmerizing. The play of light and shadow over the cave created a tapestry of rioting color that looked like a purple kaleidoscope of sorts, and Amy looked completely spellbound. I grabbed her hand, intertwining my fingers with hers and giving a soft smile when she startled out of her reveries, because bitches eat up sappy shit like that.
I couldn't blame her for her reaction though. This place was pretty wild, and if I was the kind of person to get all moon eyed over shiny lights I'd probably be all enchanted and shit too. I could still appreciate aesthetic beauty though, and I made a note to come chill here sometimes to think, and maybe bring some of my girls since Amy was reacting so well to it. This seemed like the kind of thing they would be into as well, though I was pretty sure once the miners were crawling all over this place it would be a lot less idyllic. Maybe night visits though. I did a quick appraisal, just to double check my work.
[Appraisal function activated. Treasure detected. G ranked Gemworld Amethyst Vein- F ranked. A deposit of G ranked material with occasional bits of F ranked Amethyst shot through it. One of three veins within this cave, the Amethysts radiate dense mana that permeates the air around them even with their powers untapped. Nearby structures will be suffused with mana, though the effects of this on most constructions are largely irrelevant.]
Irrelevant to others, but not to me. My Deepvein Titanbone would suck up the extra magic that came off these rocks and use it to grow and reinforce itself. I doubted it would make a perceptible difference, not with gems this low ranked, but it should be a powerful boost to the town over time. I grimaced at the appraisal though. The Greed System wasn't exactly organized. I knew that the deposit of G ranked gems was F ranked in its entirety, much like a city of G ranked buildings could be F ranked, but the actual description was annoyingly ill worded.
I shook that off though, and focused on Amy, who was ignoring the gems to stare at me with big shining eyes again. I smiled down at her. "So, do you like what you see?" I did that intense eye contact thing girls go nuts over, and stepped forward, looming over her a bit, but not in a way that would be threatening, more in a 'look how much bigger I am than you, imagine your body under mine' way.
She swallowed hard, staring up at me. "I...what? Oh, the quarry. Yes, they're...I like it. Them. I like the gems." I smiled down at her and put a hand on her waist. I wasn't going to rush and fuck up my work, but missing a moment was as bad as pushing one, and this was a tailor made fantasy first kiss. I'd be an idiot not to take advantage. I leaned down to capture her lips softly with mine and pull her against me, not being too aggressive with the kiss so I didn't spook her. She melted against me, so transfixed she didn't even protest when I grabbed a big handful of soft perky princess ass. I grinned internally. Patience or not, some things you just have to do for your own peace of mind. I gave a quick squeeze and she moaned into my mouth. Fuck that had some bounce. I really loved gemworld.
