Harem-Powered Kingdom Building: Empire of Carnal Sin

Furina's eyes shot wide open the instant she heard Tara's voice. Hiro offered no resistance as she freed herself from his passionate embrace.

She quickly got up, smoothing her dress and fixing her hair. Tara's voice, still several steps away, gave Furina just enough time to compose herself.

"I-I shouldn't be doing this, My Lord. I'm sorry," she said, her expression a mixture of guilt and confusion.

With that, she hurried out of the half-finished tent to meet her daughter, leaving Hiro sitting alone on the ground.

He glanced down at his persistent arousal and sighed. What kind of cursed timing was this?

Carnalia's signature sultry voice echoed in his head. "Mnmm… that was hot. Hot enough that I wished I could take her place."

Every word she spoke dripped with lust, her tone so vivid it felt as though she were right beside him, whispering softly into his ear.

"Unfortunately, you've been blue-balled. Also, sex yields way more Carna than just making out," she added teasingly.

[Carna: 125 (15 -> 125)]

He had started with 15 Carna from masturbating and gained 110 more from running his hands over Furina's alluring body while kissing her.

"I don't care much about the missed Carna. Sex is primary, and Carna is secondary," Hiro responded to Carnalia, his words unspoken but transmitted through their shared thoughts.

"Really? That's probably because you haven't tasted Carna's true power yet."

"No matter how deliciously powerful Carna might be, I doubt my attitude will change. I'm someone who can unapologetically admit I love having sex. For me, it will never become just a means to an end."

There was a peculiar conviction in Hiro's voice. He wasn't going to have sex merely to power himself up—he held a certain… respect for the act.

The voice in his mind remained silent. Carnalia had mentioned before that her energy was limited, allowing her to communicate with him only sporadically.

Internally however, she did hear what Hiro said.

'I hope you can keep thinking that way once you truly start using your Class Skills, Hiro,' Carnalia thought, her mind drifting to a complicated past.

Hiro couldn't hear Carnalia's thoughts though. As for Furina…

'It's a bit late for her to start having second thoughts now.'

During their passionate embrace, Ensnaring Touch had already worked its magic. From now on, she'd find it nearly impossible to stop thinking about him whenever she craved intimacy.

The inevitable would happen—it was only a matter of time.

'But damn… her ass was so juicy, and she had such a mature charm—a total MILF. I wonder how it would've felt if she had started riding me from that position.'

Vaginal stimulation aside, the sensation of her butt jiggling against his abdomen would've been incredible.

Hiro shook his head and stood up, taking deep breaths to calm his erection before heading outside to meet Tara.

Thankfully, he hadn't forgotten that he was supposed to be the Baron of this place.

'Hopefully, she found the water source,' he thought.

Outside…

When Hiro stepped out of the tent, he saw Tara engaged in a conversation with Furina.

Furina was doing her best to act normal, but Tara already seemed a bit suspicious, her cute little frown directed at her mother.

As soon as she spotted Hiro stepping outside, she directly questioned him.

"What were you doing in there with my mother, My Lord?" she asked pointedly.

Hiro briefly considered telling her exactly what they had been doing.

"What do you think we were doing?" he asked, his tone laced with provocation.

Tara's frown deepened, and her body visibly tensed.

"Obviously, we were setting up this tent—this one takes two people, you know. You don't want to sleep under the cloudy night sky of this place, do you?"

Out of consideration for Furina however, he chose not to reveal anything.

Fortunately, Furina had given Tara the same explanation earlier during her questioning.

Hearing this, Tara decided to drop the matter, though her suspicions weren't entirely put to rest.

"Alright… I'll believe you. Anyways, I have some great news!"

"Great. I love great news. What is it?" Hiro asked.

"Not only did I find a river flowing with fresh water, but I also found a statue of Goddess Selune by it!" she announced, placing one hand on her chest as if proud of her achievement.

Hiro couldn't help but compare her breasts to Furina's. While she had inherited her mother's round butt, Tara's chest was more modest, even if it was far from small.

Not that it was a turnoff for Hiro—her melons would fit snugly in the palm of his hand, and he could already imagine the satisfaction of giving them a firm squeeze.

Hiro's taste in women was nothing if not diverse.

Furina's excitement visibly surged upon hearing Tara's words.

"Really!? If that's true, we might be able to sleep soundly, Tara!" she exclaimed.

"Exactly. Why don't you seem excited, My Lord?" Tara asked curiously.

Hiro appeared to be the only one oblivious to the importance of this discovery.

"Right… a statue of Goddess Selune. It would certainly add to the aesthetic beauty of this place."

He seemed to think it was a decoration… leaving Tara and Furina utterly speechless.

Over the next two minutes, they took turns explaining the significance of the statue while simultaneously questioning his ignorance.

Apparently, every newly ascended Ruler was granted the statue of the God or Goddess they were aligned with.

A Goddess Statue had the ability to ward off monsters within its vicinity. Its effectiveness depended on factors such as the statue's level, population, number of worshippers, and the local density of monsters.

Essentially, placing the Goddess Statue at the center of their settlement would significantly reduce the frequency of monster attacks, at least during the initial days, providing the breathing room needed for growth.

"That really is wonderful news, Tara. But if you found it, why didn't you bring it back?" Hiro asked.

She chuckled cheekily and replied, "Hehe, I only have 14 in STR, My Lord. I'd probably need at least 20 or 25 to carry it on my own."

She was only level 6. A Warrior—a Common rarity class—it gained 2 points in STR, 1 point in AGI, and 1 free stat point with every level up.

Furina glanced at Hiro and offered, "Should I go with her so we can carry the statue back together, My Lord?"

Hiro paused, considering her suggestion.

"Can you finish assembling the rest of the tent on your own?"

"Yes, My Lord," she replied.

The part requiring two people had already been completed earlier.

"Then do that. I'll go with Tara. I need to inspect the river's location anyway."

"As you command, My Lord," she said in her mature tone.

With that, Tara and Hiro set off toward the Goddess Statue.

As Tara led the way through the woods, an awkward silence hung between them. Normally, Hiro would've been scheming to get closer to her, but his mind was otherwise preoccupied.

Unbeknownst to Tara, two stones floated behind Hiro, revolving in a circular pattern. With some Carna now at his disposal, he began testing one of his Class Skills.

The skill he was currently practicing was quite interesting. It was called - Ultimate Force Telekinesis!
