Overlord Blue Citadel Alternate

『A Momentary Peace』

Vertum smiled widely as he felt the girl seat herself on his left leg, his arm naturally entangling itself around her waist. 

Enri stared down at him with a blank smile on her lips, her brown eyes playing the part of the inquisitor. She watched as he moved and narrowly nudged his lips under her jaw.

A tingling sensation emitted itself across all of her nerves as she did so, all from that one spot. It was like the feeling of being touched by a beloved person. Their mere touch drove waves of pleasure to the mind, promoting a series of soft sounds in response. 

Vertum chuckled at the human's small sounds, she seemed like such a strong person in front of others in her village, yet she was so delicate in his arms. His other hand moved up to brush across the side of her face as he moved his lips to her own.

Her chest nearly exploded as her heart pounded against her rib cage. It was getting almost hard to breath as she felt his lips against hers.

She didn't understand why she was feeling like this, not completely anyway. When he had taken her chastity, he was hardly this gentle with her. As he tilted his head and pushed her into the depths of a kiss, she found herself mimicking his actions. 

"Mmm..." She whined into the kiss, feeling his arm wrapping around her even more. 

Vertum sniggered to himself as he slowly broke his lips away from hers, with a subtle pop sound. His fingers trailed from the side of her face to the blouse, slowly he began to undo the buttons.

That was when he paused however, as the first one or two buttons. All of his hairs stood on end, his scales appearing on his face along the bridge of his nose and right beneath his eyes. 

His Guild Base had just been subject to a Divination and the Security Measures had been activated!

"Now of all times..." Vertum uttered under his breath, he redid the buttons on her blouse, before pulling the hood up on the blue poncho-cloak she wore over her shoulders.

 "Eh, What?" She blinked a few times though clearly excited as stars determination and excitement seemed to be forming by her head, "What's going on?"

Vertum raised a brow seeing that she wanted to be involved, he chuckled a bit. "Nothing I can't handle," he said vaguely as he stood up from the chair, holding her close as he did. 

As soon as he was standing, they suddenly teleported without warning, appearing in the center of the prison situated in Vilisyrteria. They found themselves positioned within the corridor between the various cells, a new occupant in one of them.

"...Wha-wha-Where am I?" A young girl cried out, wearing a blindfold and a thin cloth dress held together by a single string. It was the Miko Princess of Water, with her silvery metal-like spider web woven crown of blue jewels around her head.

Blood was running down the front of her face, from her nose, a side effect from the ritual. 

Both Enri and Vertum just stared at the small teen who was crying and panicking in the cell. 

"Why is there a young girl in the cell...?" The two of them spoke in unison, thinking the same exact thing. Though Vertum did know that the security system would teleport the medium used for the divination to the base, but he had no idea the Princess was so young.

Astra, the member of the Black Scripture was curled up in the corner of her cell, peeking up to look at the Princess. Her eyes widened as she noticed who she was. 

However she couldn't speak, nor verbally comfort the blind one.

Enri pulled herself from Vertum's side and knelt before the cell, reaching out and grasping the child's hand. "You're going to be okay, we have you." She smiled, holding the person's hand.
