The World Is Mine For The Taking

Two days before the election.

The idol group, Starry Knights, was set to perform in the Capital City—the same location ravaged by the Eclipse Occupation of the Plaza incident. The tragedy had left deep scars on its people, both physically and emotionally. To help them begin to heal, Leonamon proposed this concert as a way to offer some semblance of solace. A temporary escape, something to remind them that life still held moments of joy, however fleeting.

I sat in my Christopher Faust persona, my long white hair falling around my shoulders, commanding the air of authority expected from the boss of Leonamon. Outside the window, the stage loomed over the plaza, its grand structure a stark contrast to the destruction that had once plagued the area. The streets were now alive with anticipation. The once-haunted faces of the crowd carried glimmers of excitement.

"Leon," came a sharp voice from behind me.

I turned to see her: Rose. Her long green hair framed a scowling face, and her piercing gaze was locked onto me. Rose was one of the academy's professors, primarily teaching cadets martial arts and self-defense. Despite her current irritation, her presence here wasn't a surprise. She had been trying to contact me ever since the incident, calling multiple times, but I ignored every attempt. Annoyed by my silence, she had tracked me down. When she learned of the Starry Knights' concert, she seized the opportunity to confront me, telling Amon to help her secure a meeting. I'd agreed without hesitation.

Now, we were seated on the balcony of the room prepared for me, overlooking the venue. The Starry Knights were in their own room, preparing for the performance.

"What is it?" I asked, my tone neutral.

"What the hell are you trying to pull, hosting an event here of all places, and so soon after that attack?" she demanded, her voice sharp with barely-contained anger.

Her reaction wasn't surprising. Rose had been a direct witness to the devastation caused by Sesillian. She had seen the plaza bathed in blood and chaos, and the memories clearly hadn't left her.

"It's simple," I replied, leaning forward slightly. "The people of this city are drowning in trauma. The memories of that day haunt them, suffocating every moment of their lives. Sometimes, the only way to push past something like that is with a distraction—something to make them feel alive, even for just a moment. This concert is their reprieve."

I leaned back, letting my words sink in. A distraction couldn't erase what haunted them, but it could offer a moment of peace—just enough to help them breathe again.

I gestured toward the window, where the gathering crowd buzzed with anticipation. "It won't erase what happened, but it can help them breathe again, even if it's only temporary."

"And you're using this concert to give them that?"

"I've already discussed this with Duke Merca. He spoke to the King, who approved it without hesitation," I explained. "Duke Merca wants the citizens of the capital to have something to hold onto—a brief escape from the shadows of that day. And while I won't deny that I'll benefit from this event in some ways, my intentions are genuine. I won't use this for anything beyond that."

Rose shook her head, exhaling sharply. "You're unbelievable. Sometimes, Leon, you're a real piece of work. No, actually, you are a piece of work."

Her expression softened slightly as she looked at me. "But I'm glad you made it out alive."

I recalled one of the messages she'd sent me after the incident, asking if I was okay—if I was still in one piece. While she hadn't seen my fight with the dragon Sesillian summoned, she had witnessed its descent, which was enough to make her worry. Even though she had once said she didn't want anything to do with me anymore, her concern now betrayed her true feelings.

It was kind of sweet, really.

"Well then, I only came here to see what you've been up to and to check if you're still in one piece. Now that I know, I'll take my leave," Rose said, her voice calm but laced with finality as she rose from her seat. She brushed her coat lightly, her fingers lingering on the fabric as though it gave her something to focus on.

"You don't want to stay?" I asked, leaning back slightly, my gaze fixed on her. "From here, you've got the best view of the whole venue. You could watch the festivities from the perfect spot before they kick off."

For a moment, she hesitated, her eyes flickering downward. Something in her stance wavered, like she wanted to stay but couldn't bring herself to. I couldn't tell what held her back, but a part of me hoped it wasn't tied to the lingering shadows of the Eclipse incident.

"I can't. I'm sorry, Leon, but I have to go. Thank you for everything," she said softly, her voice dipping with an almost imperceptible tremor before she turned and walked away without another word.

That was the last I saw of her that day. Later, I learned that Rose had quit her job as a professor and disappeared entirely. It would be a while before I uncovered the reasons behind her sudden departure.

Before the concert began, I headed to the Starry Knights' dressing room. The space was alive with activity—costumes hung neatly on racks, mirrors surrounded by glowing lights reflected scattered makeup kits, and the group's upbeat music echoed through the air, filling the room with its infectious energy.

As I stepped inside, all five members—Erica, Varvara, Latifa, Tia, and Bella—looked up. The moment their gazes landed on me, their eyes lit up like fireworks.

"Master!"

Their voices rang out in perfect unison, bright and brimming with excitement. Without hesitation, they bolted from their chairs, makeup and mirrors forgotten, and rushed toward me like an unstoppable wave. Their arms wrapped around me in a flurry of movement, their giggles filling the room as they pressed close.

"How have you girls been?" I asked, smiling down at them as their energy radiated around me. It had been far too long since I'd seen them last. Between my overwhelming workload and their whirlwind tour across the kingdom, it felt like ages since we'd had a moment together.

"We've been amazing!" Varvara said, her voice practically glowing. "But we've missed you so much, Master!"

"We've been longing for your presence, Master!" Bella added, her tone soft yet heavy with emotion.

"I missed your smell, Master!" Latifa chimed in, her fluffy tail swishing wildly behind her as she leaned in close, inhaling deeply like she was trying to capture my scent and bottle it.

"Oh, Master!" Tia clasped her hands together like she was in prayer, her wide eyes glistening with adoration as she gazed up at me.

They all looked vibrant, their smiles dazzling. Seeing them in such high spirits was a relief.

"I'm sorry you had to come all the way here in the middle of your tour," I said.

The Starry Knights were deep into their kingdom-wide tour, spreading their fame far and wide. While they were already household names in Milham, this tour was meant to cement their legacy even further. For now, they were sticking to performances within the kingdom, but it wouldn't be long before their talents reached audiences overseas.

"It's no problem, Master!" Erica replied, her cheeks dusted with a faint blush. "Helping the victims of the incident is more than enough of a reason for us to be here. And…" She hesitated, her gaze softening as a gentle smile spread across her lips. "It's worth it just to see you again."

Love surged through my chest at her words, igniting a primal need I couldn't suppress. My hands moved instinctively, cupping her soft cheeks and pulling her into a deep, consuming kiss. My tongue slid into her mouth, dominating hers as I tasted her fully, rolling and tangling until she surrendered completely. Saliva pooled between us, and I let it flow into her mouth deliberately, forcing her to swallow it. The sound of her swallowing sent a thrill through me, and I deepened the kiss, claiming every inch of her.

When I finally pulled away, a shimmering string of saliva hung between our lips, stretching as I leaned back before snapping. Her face was flushed, her eyes glazed over in a dazed, blissful haze, her lips slightly parted as if begging for more. She looked utterly ruined, and it stirred something dark and possessive inside me.

I dragged my tongue across my lips, savoring the taste of her as I looked around. The other members of the Starry Knights stood motionless, their faces flushed a deep crimson, their wide, pleading eyes locked on me. Their longing was unmistakable, and I couldn't ignore it. It had been a while since I last fucked them, and their gazes made it clear they craved me as much as I craved them.

A twinge of guilt pricked at me for delaying things for the victims. But the thought of filling these girls' wombs with my cum and then watching them dance and sing with my seed inside them only made the idea more arousing.

When I voiced my plan, the girls didn't hesitate for even a second. Their eager nods and flushed faces betrayed just how much they wanted this. Wasting no time, I guided them to bend over the shelf, their toned bodies arching beautifully as their round asses were presented to me. Discover more content at empire
