219: Aunt’s tragic story
219: Aunt’s tragic story
Note: in the earlier chapters where Jack’s aunt and cousins are mentioned subtly, there’s a mishap. I’ve named the female cousin Tanya in the earlier chapters, but called her Mia later. That was a mistake. Her name is Tanya.~~
“Jack.” I heard a familiar voice. It belonged to none other than my aunt, Julian’s sister. Black-haired, black eyes, an above-average appearance, B-cup tits at most, and a tight little ass. Oh, and I didn’t know her name either. Never had to call her anything other than ‘Aunt’. Even at Julian’s funeral, where we last saw her, Sandra and Martha, who were next to me, also called her ‘Aunt,’ and I wasn’t around when Rayla met her, so long story short, no name known.
Anyway…
“Jack.”
“Jack.”
Two more voices addressed me. John and Tanya.
My cousins.
“Aunt. John and Tanya. What are you doing here? What happened to you?” I asked, approaching them with curiosity in my eyes but also displaying enough worry, seeing as they seemed to have gone through a battle, given a scar on John’s face and my aunt’s bent arm.
“We… We could not afford a healer…” My aunt replied, a little sad from the look in her eyes.
“We’ll talk about that later,” I said, casting a heal spell on both of them. Their eyes widened at the spellcasting, but they didn’t say anything.
“Come inside for now,” I said, leading them inside. The servant who came to fetch me made a face, but didn’t say anything. She knew I was special in the castle at the moment, so she approached with caution.
“What happened?” I asked them once we were in my room.
They told me what happened to them. In detail.
So the story went like this. The town was attacked about a month after we left. Creatures made of rotten flesh attacked them and wiped them all out. Some of the villagers managed to escape thanks to a few sacrifices, and luckily enough, they weren’t followed.
They were injured in the process but still managed to escape. My aunt and cousins separated from the group since the rest of the group didn’t have anywhere to go, but these guys did. A vain hope that their service to the royal family would grant them something.
So they went to the royal castle and described the events in the town of Hector. All they got in return was that the incident would be looked into. They were not acknowledged and not given anything to do anything about their injuries.
They went to the church, begging them to tend to them, but the priests also closed their doors on them. Leaving them with no choice, they came here to our family.
“We didn’t want to come here and create trouble for you, Jack. Trust me… But…” Tara, my aunt, said at the end, looking at her son who was sleeping after eating well, the scar on his face had healed.
Well, a parent does everything they can for their children. Even lower themselves enough to bed. Especially when those kids had just lost their father.
“That’s what family is for, Aunt Tara,” I replied, not really holding any ulterior motives regarding her.
You see, as I may have said earlier, I had standards. I wouldn’t just fuck anyone. But since the last time, my aunt had developed a little bit of her ass, or maybe it was just how she was dressed then, so maybe a little fun wouldn’t harm anyone.
Not to mention Tanya. She sure had grown up nicely. She was the same age as Martha, but wasn’t as developed when I last saw her. Her chest sure grew big in the time I hadn’t seen her. I didn’t see her at Julian’s funeral, so the last time I saw her was at the awakening ceremony.
But still, that was for later. For now, I was more focused on the events Tara had recounted.
Monsters made of flesh.
Kind of sounded very familiar to the monsters that came out of that gate that opened in the vicinity of Hector town. Monsters who had dicks on their insides. I couldn’t examine that monster properly because after running a few tests on it, the monster began to crumble to dust. Not rot, but crumble to dust. Which was strange, given that those monsters were made of rotting flesh.
Anyway, whatever it was, it must have had something to do with that gate. Not the one that opened earlier, but the one where Julian died. It had something related to dicks, well, a tragic story of a man who wanted one, so this was kind of my fault.
Better not say that now. Besides, I had more pressing matters to deal with at the moment.
Tara and her children fell asleep on my bed together, since they were not only tired and hungry, but also mentally exhausted. A lot had happened to them in a short while, and they had been let down by all around, carrying fear that I’d let them down too.
Helping them was nothing personal. I just did because I could. It wouldn’t interfere with my plans.
Speaking of my plans…
“You’re out early.” Elara said as I went to her room, “Is your breakthrough done?”
So that was the story, huh?
I didn’t glance at the stiff knightess standing next to Elara and replied, “Thanks to the resources my ladyship supplied, I managed to break through to the next realm without much effort.”
“Good. Focus on stabilizing your current realm. The queen’s expedition is close. There will be some special guests there, so you must be able to keep up with the rest.” Elara praised me without any emotion in her voice and dismissed me, not saying anything else.
Well, she didn’t need to say anything. Not that she needed to, though.
She wasn’t giving me a hint when she mentioned the special guest. That was just her saying it naturally.
But I understood it the moment I heard it.
The king.
He was coming.
~~
Since my excuse was done, I came back to my room to prepare myself. For some reason, Zara and Cassandra had both left to take care of some matters of the Carlson estate, so they weren’t available at the moment.
Valeria and Mira had gone to Elara’s maiden estate along with my family.
I was terribly craving some action, but it wasn’t the right moment. My shitty luck was in circulation, and all the women I could fuck were either busy or away. Poking my stick in another hole at the moment wasn’t possible either, because I had no idea who was an enemy or an ally around me.
But it wasn’t like luck wasn’t on my side entirely.
“Have you slept well?” I asked Tara and her kids, who were up and eating dinner on my bed.
“Yes. Thanks to you.” Tanya replied with a sweet smile, and John also nodded with appreciation.
“I can’t tell you how thankful I am, Jack,” Tara replied with a smile as well, one an aunt would have for her nephew.
“It’s natural to help your family,” I replied and changed the topic to my advantage, “Would you like to bathe, Aunt?”
“I should. I feel icky.” My aunt replied.
“I’ll prepare it for you,” I said, making my way to the small bath attached to my room.
“No, I’ll do it myself,” Tara replied quickly, as if she couldn’t burden me any more than this.
“It’s no bother. I was about to take one too. You can join me, and then John and Tanya can take one after. Since the bath is too small for all of us at once.” I replied.
“Oh, is that so?” Tara said before she nodded, “Then I’ll be thankful.”
Right. There were so many things wrong with that statement, yet she was thankful.
How much more amazing could this world get?
I got into the bathtub after getting rid of my clothes and just soaked in there.
After about five minutes, the door to the bathroom opened, and Tara stepped in.
“I can’t even begin to tell you how thankful I am, Jack.”
Smiling at me, she began to take off her clothes, revealing her body to me and thanking me at the same time.
Okay, I might have been a bit too hasty to judge her.
Sure, her tits were still small, with average-sized pink nipples right in the middle. Her ass wasn’t very big either, but it was just the right size and seemed very tight.
But those weren’t her striking features. It wasn’t her beauty either, as she was just a little above average in terms of beauty.
But…
Damn, she was muscular.
Not buff, per se.
A perfect six-pack, perfectly lean muscles, and an amazingly chiseled body. She wasn’t chiseled like a man, and she wasn’t too muscular like Elara either.
Just the right bit of muscles, mixed with battle scars showing years of her battle experience.
Okay, I was really too hasty to judge her.
“Coming in,” Tara said while stepping into the bath.
Oh, I sure as hell will be coming in.
Cumming in.

You may find some mistakes in this chapter, but count them out. I'll fix them all on Sunday.
Also, I remember talking about bonus chapters if I were to hit certain milestones. Seeing as I got a million views, I guess that calls for some celebration.
Not this week, though, I'm too tired this week. So next week, I'll probably upload a few extra chapters. Quantity might depend on how much I earn.
