Chapter 159

Margrave Grell couldn't believe it when Kanae brought Minestra to Highgreen in chains and guarded by numerous lamias. The missing loggers had returned to work, but not after an intense discussion between the three lamia tribe chiefs and Grell. After all, the logging operations threatened their home of Hollow Glade.

As queen of the Commonwealth, Kanae held the last word. She ordered a stop to the deforestation and for them to find a lumber source elsewhere less destructive. Satisfied, Garuda, Katia, and Farhan left a few ambassadors behind in Highgreen while they returned home.

"Remember," Kanae began as the three headed for the door. "You belong to me now. Work together nicely, or I'll come back and make you."

They tensed up and their tails stiffened.

"Of course, Queen Kanae. We will not dissssappoint!" Farhan bowed deeply.

Grell leaned back in his seat after they had gone. "Hollow Glade was the closest stretch of woodlands we obtained lumber from. It may be some time before we find a new source to collect from. However, having more allies is a much better alternative."

"Hopefully it's enough." Kanae sighed.

Deep inside, she mulled over telling Grell that his son Noah might be under an enemy succubus' charm. She ultimately decided against it. For now. Grell had enough problems to worry about like securing the border against a demon invasion.

"Margrave, do you perchance have a capable enough dungeon with which to put Minestra?" Eliza asked.

"Ah, yes. The demon lieutenant. The usual dungeons will not contain her strength. Perhaps the Moonlit Avenue will have strong magical wards to suppress her. Ask for Headmaster Hayson. Anyone who frequents that district should know where to find him," Grell explained.

They left immediately. Kanae, Eliza, Esta, and the Sisters of Sin wheeled the unconscious Minestra on a cage wagon to the other side of the city. On the way, Kanae searched the skies for her high elven priests. The two continued to vigilantly scan the city, stopping at one section and watching for a few seconds, bickering for a bit, and then moving on out of sight.

"Oh, how magnificent!" Eliza squealed in delight.

The Moonlight Avenue began with a wide bridge over a gently flowing canal from which students rowed from a small boat. Beautiful trees framed the marble streets, blanketed by tiny blue petals. More showered pedestrians from the slightest gust. Road and block corners were rounded, as were the domed buildings of wooden make draped in vines and tapestry.

A group of common elves played stringed music together by a gazebo, joined by chirping birds, as citizens watched on. Young adult students with stacks of books in hand went from one building to the next, or made themselves comfortable on green knolls to read.

However, as Kanae squinted for a closer look at what they were reading, she couldn't help but feel something was off. A dark elven woman was nose deep in a book, her face flushed red and seemingly breathing heavily.

Some giggling attracted Kanae to the domed roof of a building. Mikki and Daya were sitting perched on the edge, reading from a book together.

"Girls? What are you doing up there?" Kanae called to them.

"Crap, it's my mom. Fly!" Mikki panicked, and spread her wings to take off alongside Daya.

What was that all about?

"Here! Kanae, may we stop here for a moment?" Eliza raced up to the open arch entrance of a modest bookstore.

"If you haven't noticed, we have a demon lieutenant to put away." Kanae folded her arms.

"I shall browse quickly! I'm sure there are fascinating texts to be found—" She pulled a book out and froze.

The title, written in beautiful cursive, was A Thousand and One Stimulating Stimulations for the Clitoris. Kanae pressed a hand to her mouth to keep from laughing.

Meanwhile, the sorceress pushed the book back into the shelf to pull out another.

"I'm sure that book must have been placed there by mistake. This one, I can feel in my scholarly heart, is sure to stir the intellectual mind!" Eliza exclaimed, drawing a book out with the title of Secrets of Sexual Potency, How Hobgoblins and Ogres Make Woman Moan Like Wolves in Heat.

"Eliza, those books appear to be sexual in nature," Esta said.

"I can see that, Silver!" she complained, stuffing the book back in a rage.

"W-Well, if you don't want it…" Kanae plucked it from the shelf and brought it over to the counter to pay.

However, the store owner, an older dark elven man with bushy eyebrows, declined any gold.

"That won't be necessary," he said. "We encourage the sharing of knowledge. I only ask that you eventually bring the book back, so that others may peruse it."

Eliza bumped Kanae off to confront him. "Excuse me, good sir. I understand that I stumbled into an adult bookstore. Where may I find texts of the academic or historical type?"

"All around, of course!" He stretched out both arms.

"What? You don't mean to tell me…"

"I do. Queen Kanae and the Eminence of Sin preaches sexual liberation and freedom, so that is what all of us at the Moonlit Avenue have dedicated ourselves to! I've seen many guests come into my bookstore. I see their same look in your eyes, missy. Do not be so modest, feel free to acquire any book you like," the bookkeeper insisted.

Exasperated and at a loss, Eliza slapped a hand to her face. She couldn't help but return her gaze to the shelves, fetched the first book she had initially found, and in a defeated manner said, "I… I would like to check this one out…"

When they exited the bookstore, Kanae was brimming with excitement to learn why Mitty and Thume were among her best lays. As she opened the book, Eliza angrily clapped it shut.

"This is your fault, you know? I came expecting to find knowledge on ancient arcane arts, and what do I find? Studies upon smut!" Eliza groaned.

"I'm just as surprised as you are! It's not like I told them to do this. I rule a whole damn country. There's no way to keep track of what everyone is doing," Kanae fired back.

"As amused as I am about Eliza's misconception, I think we have more pressing matters," Esta warned, gesturing to Minestra who was stirring in the back of the wagon.

Being drained of magic had rendered the herzulith unconscious. However, given enough time, she was going to regenerate it back and awaken. They needed to find Headmaster Hayson soon.

"Excuse me!" Kanae flagged down a finely-dressed human woman walking along the canal. "Do you know where I can find Headmaster Hayson?"

"The headmaster? Around this time, he should be conducting experiments at one of his lecture halls. The roofs are color-coded. Green for faculty buildings, blue for university repositories and lecture halls, and red for everything else. You will recognize him as a pervy old dark elf with spy glasses for spectacles," she explained.

Why was it always the old ones?

When Kanae turned around, the bookstore they had come out of had a red rooftop. Searching for the blue was a lot easier. There were fewer of them than the rest but larger in size. It made sense if they served as lecture halls and buildings to contain troves of tomes.

Unfortunately, many of them were empty around this time. Some had students hanging around but no Headmaster Hayson. They eventually found a moderately occupied lecture hall with someone directing a lesson.

Inside, bookshelves lined the all along wall up to the second floor. Rectangular tables were arranged in two columns and five rows, but students weren't in their seats. They were instead lying on the tables. Naked. Many were moaning and on the verge of climaxing.

A female dark elven student laid spread eagle, her chest heaving with each breath, as another student waved a magical staff between her thighs. At another table, three students were controlling a small whirlpool of water which wrapped around a human male colleague's erect dick. While all this was going on, an older dark elven professor in scholarly robes walked from one table to the next, nodding his head, jotting down notes, and then moving on. He must be Headmaster Hayson.

Kanae was about to call out when Eliza stormed in ahead of them. She grabbed the old elf and turned him around to face her.

"You! Are you the reason this place of knowledge is rife with obscenity?" Eliza yelled in his face.

"Who are you? Unhand me!" the terrified man cried in a rickety and pitchy voice like a squeaking floorboard.

He flicked his wrist and casted something. Whatever it was made Eliza let go, doubling over and falling to her knees.

Esta pulled Eliza away, shuddering and twitching. "We're under the hospitality of Highgreen. Please, behave as a high citizen of Radevic."

"Sorry," Kanae apologized on Eliza's behalf. "Are you Headmaster Hayson?"

"Y-Yes, I am. You're…" His eyes snapped open with recognition. "Queen Kanae?! What an honor it is to have you grace the Moonlit Avenue! I heard your majesty arrived in Highgreen, but I thought you were too busy to come. Students, behold your queen!"

Everyone stopped what they were doing to marvel. They gazed at Kanae in awe, whispering amongst each other about her beauty. She heard and soaked in every single one of their compliments.

"I appreciate the warm welcome, but we're kind of in a bind. Grell said you can help us with imprisoning a demon lieutenant?" Kanae asked.

Gasps erupted from the students.

"This isn't an elaborate joke?" Headmaster Hayson searched Kanae's eyes for answers, then found it when he followed her gaze past their shoulders to the cart outside. He cleared his throat. "Students, return to your studies. Remember, it is the pleasure of your partner which is the most important. Focus on that!"

As his students cautiously went back to their sexual studies, Hayson beckoned Kanae and the others to the back of the room. Esta slung Minestra onto her shoulders, carrying the demon in. A staircase led them right under the lecture hall to what appeared to be a circular torture chamber. Six prison cells ran the length of the wall. Four of them were empty, but one imprisoned a slime and the other an iron-bound chest without a lock. A mimic.

"What?" Eliza gaped in horror after recovering. "You have a prison beneath where you hold lectures?"

"Ah! I know this may appear confusing, but this is my BDSM laboratory," Hayson said as a matter of factly.

"Your what?" everyone repeated in disbelief.

"BDSM. It stands for bondage, discipline, and dominance and submission. This is where we hold special lessons! I'll explain later. For now, please put the herzulith inside." He pressed a hand to an empty, keyless cell.

Where there was seemingly no door, a line traced along the metal bars and created one for him to open. Esta gently laid Minestra down on the bed inside, then returned to the others. Once the door closed shut, it disappeared. Illusory sigils, reeking of powerful enchantment magic, shimmered into existence in front of the cell.

"Are you sure this is going to hold?" Kanae asked worriedly.

"This is a special, anti-magic dungeon meant to hold even the mightiest of beasts. I'm the only key, so worry not!" Hayson assured them.

"This is fascinating… You enchanted an entire prison cell? Where is all the energy coming from?" Eliza asked, poking the metal bars which rippled like the surface of water from her touch.

"Ehmvier supplies the Moonlit Avenue with plenty of magic crystals! Plenty enough to conduct experiments with," he added coyly.

She grabbed him by the collar of his robe. "I'm not done with you yet. What sort of university is this where you have students climaxing on their desks and BDSM dungeons under lecture halls?"

"Follow me, and I'll show you." The headmaster gestured back upstairs.

Eliza let him go, and they headed up together. As soon as they were gone, Minestra came to consciousness. By the resigned look on her face, she realized what had happened and walked up to the cell bars. Out of protective instincts, Esta moved to guard Kanae.

"It's okay. Go up, and I'll join you in a bit," Kanae urged her.

"Yes, Master." Esta glared at Minestra for a second longer before leaving.

Alone now, Kanae felt a pang of pity for Minestra seeing her stuck in there.

"Believe it or not, you have every reason to let me go. I'll be on my way and wouldn't so much as harm anyone on the way out," Minestra said, folding one pair of her arms while the other pair perched on her hips.

"Oh, yeah? What reason is that?" Kanae asked.

"The Underqueen. You have no idea how fearsome that succubus is, but Lord Charron does. Your alliances pale in comparison to the age-old force that faced her, and those who were once capable are now old and withered. Or long gone," she explained.

"We'll see about that. Plenty of people underestimated me. We also have the greatest necromancer in the world as our trump card. Just sit tight, and I'll show you why Charron's afraid of the wrong succubus."

As Kanae turned to leave, Minestra tried to reach out but something shocked her.

"Ow!" Minestra blew on her finger and frowned. "You will come see me, won't you? I've been surrounded by demons for decades, yet not a single one has ever looked at me like you did that night. Even if it was only a ruse, it made me inexplicably happy!"

"That depends. Give me something to work with, and I'll come back and join you in there for a night," Kanae offered.

The herzulith's eyes glinted. "A daughter of the Underqueen has surfaced!"

"Is it… Ambrosia?"

"No, too precious of a daughter to send out. Her name is Labelle, Mistress of Debauchery. At least to Lord Charron, she is the most dangerous and the reason I was set to drum up fresh allies. That succubus loves a good party, and every party she throws or crashes ends with an orgy and her as the only one standing. You may be wondering why our amassed forces haven't attacked Highgreen yet. She is why," Minestra explained.

It might be best to find and consult Daya. From what Minestra said, it seems Highgreen wouldn't need to worry about a siege from them yet. On the other hand, that just means Labelle posed a greater threat. Could she also be behind Noah acting strange?

"One more thing: why was your fellow lieutenant, Milton, trying to capture a succubus?" Kanae asked.

"My lips are sealed. You will have to earn that information from me later." Minestra winked.

Kanae climbed upstairs where Lilith and several of the Sisters of Sin waited at the top.

"Stay here and watch Minestra," Kanae said.

"Yes, Mistress!" Lilith waved for her fellow Sisters to go down.

On the lecture floor, Headmaster Hayson was showing Esta and Eliza two students in the middle of having sex in the reverse cowgirl position.

"Queen Kanae, glad of you to join us. I was just explaining to them the Moonlit Avenue's mission. Ours is to reach the peak of ecstasy by incorporating magic into sex, similarly to a succubus like yourself. Behold." Hayson made gentle circles with his staff.

Water vapors in the air collected into a controlled, swirling monsoon. He commanded it up to the dark elven woman's nipples. She arched her back from the stimulation and moaned aloud.

He continued, "Currently, the water is cold. So when we heat it up by adding fire magic slowly…"

"Mmm… Headmaster, it's so intense!" the student cried.

"I concede that this is somewhat interesting, but still not what I expected from a school of magical arts." Eliza sighed.

So, the Eminence of Sin's influence turned the academia of the Moonlit Avenue into a place where the sex-obsessed found better ways to have sex.

"Wait a damn minute… You're telling me Arenade and I have been funding this university for something as silly as that?" Kanae asked, fuming from her ears.

"I-I know it sounds silly at first, my queen. There are many applications, even in war. Such as compelling the winds with magic. Look!" Hayson brandished his staff at Eliza.

"What are you— hhnggh!" Eliza keeled over and fell to her knees again. She glanced up at him with a flustered face. "So… That's what you did to me earlier… This is foul play…"

Esta, with a hand to her chin, nodded curiously. "I see. Even someone as strong as a former Saint Priest, they are still living beings with a libido. Your magic takes advantage of that, incapacitating her by stimulating her sensitive parts."

"Precisely!" he exclaimed, then to Kanae. "Even you must possess skills or spells not originally sexual in nature but have been used sexually, yes?"

"Come to think of it… When I grant myself a dick with Futanari, I can bludgeon someone with Titanic Blow," she thought aloud.

Every student and Hayson looked to Kanae with scholarly interest.

"In this way, we face our foes without casting violent spells!" Hayson explained passionately.

"I like it, but…" Kanae stripped her Matron's Regalia piece by piece until she was standing naked in the middle of the room.

They gulped hard, gazing at her bare body, nipples pointed and hard, pussy dripping with nectar, and tail flicking excitedly side to side. All of the male students, Headmaster Hayson included, immediately sprung boners if they hadn't already. The women squeezed their legs shut, unable to take their eyes off her.

"Your studies will serve the Commonwealth well against our enemies and demons, but not against succubi. This calls for some extracurricular lessons. Who wants to try their magic on me first?" Kanae asked, smiling seductively at every raised hand.
