EP.61 The Elf City Ellerst (1)  

After relieving his morning wood with Isabella’s fellatio, Yuno headed to his office. 

After processing the documents that had piled up from yesterday’s inspection, he summoned Baron Kimberly Marie’s tutor and the territory’s acting administrator and Meyer, the military officer of the territory, to his office. 

“Your Highness. As per your instructions, I sent the former captain of the guard and all those involved in his corruption to the mountain ranger unit, but now we’re severely short on guards to maintain order in the castle!” 

“Your Highness… I came here to be Lady Marie’s tutor, not to serve as an administrator. You really need to hire replacements quickly…” 

Seeing the two immediately voice their complaints as they entered, Yuno felt a headache coming on. 

But since he was the one who needed their help, Yuno soothed them and stated his business. 

“Come on now… If you need people, just go ahead and hire them, can’t you? Anyway, I’ll have to leave the territory for a while.” 

“What? How long are you going to be away? Last time you went to Teshida territory, you didn’t say a word and I had to go looking for you!” 

“I don’t know about all that. I’ll just post recruitment notices for guards in every village in the territory. I’ll get the budget from the administrator, right?” 

Hearing Meyer suddenly talk about requesting a budget from him, Baron Kimberly yelled at Meyer. 

“What are you talking about!! The guard budget is separate, isn’t it?” 

“Haven’t you heard there’s no budget because of that Gerard guy? Isn’t the administrator managing the finances?” 

“Hah! Thanks to former administrator Boras, we don’t even have money to eat or die! I haven’t even been able to hire a replacement administrator, so I’m working overtime every night and you know it!” 

“Then you should just work harder! We don’t have enough people to do that!” 

“What? You? Is that any way to talk to a noble?” … “If you want to be treated like a noble, you should do your job right first!!” 

Ignoring Yuno sitting right in front of them, Baron Kimberly and Meyer started arguing with each other. Yuno felt like he was going to lose his mind, but since these two were the only ones he could trust to handle things, he held back his anger and spoke. 

“Ahem, quiet down. Let me explain why I have to leave.” 

Yuno told them what he’d heard from Miruku the previous day, and explained that after defeating the monster, there was a possibility that the monsters it commanded might swarm out of their territory and into his lands. 

“Uh… Your Highness? Even so, this is all so sudden…” 

Baron Kimberly looked troubled, but Meyer, ever the soldier, brought out a map of the territory and explained his plan. 

“In that case, we’ll need to be ready. First, I’ll have the rangers maintain a tight perimeter around the elves’ territory. I’ll also send Sir Cordelia and the knights to the ranger headquarters so they can provide rapid support if needed.” 

“Good. Baron Kimberly, if anything happens, evacuate the people to Kiese Castle. Also, inform the capital to request financial support, and try to get some reinforcements from Count Graim’s territory as well.” 

“Yes, Your Highness.” 

“And I’ll give the administrator and captain of the guard my seal and baton, so in an emergency, act as if you’re in charge in my stead.” 

Both men protested that it was too much responsibility, but Yuno insisted and they had no choice but to accept. 

Finally, Yuno called Cordelia and asked her to follow Meyer’s orders to protect the commoners, even if he wasn’t there to command her directly. 

“Yes, understood. If that is Your Highness’s order, I will obey.” 

Cordelia’s unexpectedly obedient answer gave Yuno some peace of mind. 

Once he felt preparations were sufficient, Yuno packed his things and went out to the manor’s back garden to depart. 

In the garden, Yuria, the rest of Yuno’s family, and Miruku were waiting, and everyone’s horses were ready. 

“Mom, do you really have to come? It might be dangerous.” 

“Hehe, how could I stay here when you’re going? Besides, I learned some self-defense from Catherine.” 

Yuno gave Catherine a look, hoping she’d talk his mother out of it, but not wanting to upset her mother-in-law, Catherine ignored him. 

“Sigh~ Fine. Just don’t get involved in any fighting…” 

“Don’t worry. I know my limits, hoho.” 

“Don’t worry, big brother. Mom and I will keep you safe.” 

“Yuno, just trust your big sister. You haven’t really seen my skills yet, have you? I’ll show you this time.” 

Amused by his sister and little sister’s bravado, Yuno smiled and rode behind Miruku, who was leading the group. 

“All right, let’s go.” 

Miruku refused to ride a horse, saying it was uncomfortable, but guided the group at a speed that kept up with the horses. 

Thanks to her guidance, Yuno’s party reached the entrance to the Monster Mountains very quickly. 

At the entrance, there was a guard post controlling all who passed. 

From here on, only hunters authorized by the lord could legally pass, so Yuno was pleased with their security. 

“I’ll go ahead and sneak past first. Since there’s been some friction between us elves and the mountain rangers over territory, it’s best if I go first. Once you enter the mountains, I’ll guide you again.” 

With that, Miruku disappeared, and Yuno led the group slowly to the guard post. 

“Halt! Beyond this point is the Monster Mountains. No unauthorized persons may pass.” 

When they reached the guard post, the rangers greeted them. Unlike the regular guards at Kiese Castle, these were true elites, keeping strict watch, and Yuno could sense even the hidden snipers aiming at them. 

“Stop aiming your bows! I am Yuno Alexander Windrage von Balkan, Count of Teshida Nikana and Third Prince of Balkan!” 

“Show us something to prove your identity.” 

Yuno was momentarily flustered. He’d given all his count’s insignia to Baron Kimberly and Meyer, and left his prince’s token at the manor. 

Plus, since the purpose of their journey was secret, everyone was dressed in sturdy leather rather than fancy dresses, so there was nothing to prove their identities. 

As Yuno hesitated, unable to present anything, the guards began to draw their weapons. 

“Suspicious people. Form up!” 

At the squad leader’s command, the shield bearers formed two lines with swords and shields, archers aimed from behind, and Yuno could feel snipers aiming from the rear. 

“Wait!! Stop! I am Yuria Selendis von Balkan, Empress of Balkan. And this is the ring that proves it!” 

Yuria stepped forward and showed her ring, and the rangers lowered their bows. 

“We greet Her Majesty the Empress and His Highness the Prince. You’ve shown proof, but I can’t verify it myself, so please wait a moment.” 

Yuria nodded, and the ranger leader hurried back into the post to send a message somewhere. 

Soon, a man rode up to the post, looked at the ring, and knelt before Yuno and Yuria. 

“We greet Her Majesty the Empress and His Highness the Prince! I am William Young, leader of the Monster Mountain Rangers. I sincerely apologize for my men’s rudeness.” 

As the ranger captain bowed, the rangers who had been aiming at them all held their breath. 

“Haha, it’s fine. They were just doing their duty. Why would I punish them?” 

Only then did they relax, and at William’s signal, everyone returned to their posts. 

“So, what brings Your Majesty and Your Highness to such a dangerous place?” 

“It seems word hasn’t reached you yet. There’s a problem with the World Tree in the elf domain.” 

Yuno explained why he was heading to the elves’ land, and said that orders would soon arrive via the captain of the guard. 

“By the way, Macmorin told me you were already preparing for this situation. Is that true?” 

“Yes, Your Highness. You must have met Captain 13. In these mountains, giant monsters go on rampages every winter. Most animals hibernate, so the monsters naturally get hungry. It’s actually a normal occurrence.” 

William’s stories were things you couldn’t easily learn from books, so Yuno listened closely. 

“But since that hasn’t happened in recent years, I suspected something was wrong and prepared for it. We have ballistae, giant fences, and traps ready for the giant monsters, so please focus on the monster polluting the World Tree and don’t worry about this side…” 

William showed Yuno the equipment they’d prepared for giant monsters. 

“There’s just one thing I’d ask. We’re well prepared for ogres, trolls, manticores, cyclops, and most giant monsters, but we lack countermeasures for the basilisk’s petrification curse. I’ve sent requests for magical items to headquarters, but supplies haven’t come.” 

‘Grr, I should have executed Boras more slowly… His name keeps coming up everywhere…’ 

Yuno ground his teeth at how the former administrator Boras’s actions kept causing problems. Remembering that he’d sent former captain Gerard and his corrupt men here, he asked William about them. 

“I’ll write a letter ordering supplies, and stamp it with my mother’s seal. If you send it to Kiese Castle, you’ll get what you need. By the way, how are Gerard and the others I sent here?” 

“Haha, at first he thought he was still captain and tried to throw his weight around, but after a few beatings from our men, he quieted down. Now he’s training hard as the youngest in the ranger unit, so don’t worry.” 

“I’ve always thought that the more you work soldiers, the stronger they get. If you drill them in peacetime, they’ll adapt better in war, right?” 

“Absolutely right, Your Highness. I’ll carry out your orders faithfully.” 

Yuno wrote the requested letter, stamped it with Yuria’s seal, and gave it to William. 

He also received some supplies from the rangers for use in the mountains, then entered the Monster Mountains. 

“You took a while. I’ve been waiting here for ages.” 

As they followed the path in, Miruku came down from a tree. 

“Haha, I was warning the rangers that giant monsters might go on a rampage.” 

“Well done. Let’s hurry. I can get there quickly by climbing trees, but for you, it’ll take about three days.” 

Hearing they’d have to travel mountain paths for three days, Yuno worried about whether Yuria could handle it, but she endured just fine. 

On the third morning, the cool, fresh forest air surrounded their campsite, but Yuno’s tent was filled with heat and a lewd scent. 

Thrust, thrust, slurp… smooch, chuuruup 

“Mom, are you okay? We’ll arrive around lunchtime, so hang in there a little longer.” 

Yuno spoke to his mother, who was rubbing his cock with her breasts and sucking the tip with her soft lips. Yuria smiled sweetly. 

“Haha, my son gives me fresh nutrients every morning how could I be tired? Still, I might get tired if I don’t get this, so you have to fill your mom’s mouth-pussy with thick, rich cum, okay?” 

Yuno enjoyed his mother’s breasts and mouth for a while, then came in her mouth. Yuria drank all the semen from his cock, then opened her mouth to show it full of white cum before swallowing it all. 

Yuria also took several more loads in her pussy, enjoying passionate sex with her son. When it was time for everyone to get up, she gave Yuno a final kiss on the cheek, ending their mother-son morning incest session. 

“Hehe, I enjoyed your cum so much again today~ smooch” 

But neither Yuno nor Yuria realized that since early dawn, someone had been secretly watching their incestuous sex through a gap in the tent.
