After being used as Great-Grandmothers body pillow for nearly two hours while also being lectured somewhat, I was finally allowed access to the treasury; with her assistance, she helped gather a whole bunch of resources that I would be using to trade and bargain with, with the native residents in the Aether Realm. Unfortunately, I was far too weak to safely take any Immortal items with me, so that job was left to Mother and Father whenever they got around to doing it; however, that was for them to worry about, not me.
"That should be just about everything; I'll double-check afterward and inform you if I missed anything. Also, here are the resources for Elaine." Remarked Celeste softly as she gracefully exited the door with a thoughtful expression while Elif followed behind, only for her to toss him a pinkish dimension ring.
Nodding at Great-Grandmother, several pieces of information suddenly entered my mind, prompting me to quickly gloss over it before looking at her while she retracted her divine sense.
"That is everything we are in dire need of, so focus on those first, once you've got enough, then acquire whatever you can with the remaining resources." Said Celeste as she glanced at Elif before suddenly appearing and standing outside the room while waving her hand, prompting him to reappear right beside her.
With a light flick of her finger, the vault door to the Treasury slammed shut and sealed itself as all of its thousands upon thousands of formations reactivated, protecting its contents from any would-be thieves.
"Is something the matter? You've been awfully quiet, Elif. Ah, do you want me to hug you some more, and you're just embarrassed to ask me?" Asked Celeste curiously as she gazed at Elif in slight concern, only for her to mischeviously smirk while wrapping her arms around him, embracing him in a tight hug.
"Mhm, the smoothness of your skin is surreal; I'm so envious." Muttered Celeste softly as she rubbed her face against Elif's exposed skin, causing his expression to twitch.
"Everything is fine, Great-Grandmother… I was just thinking, that is all." Replied Elif lightly with a shake of his head as he glanced downwards at Celeste, who raised an eyebrow though she didn't further comment.
"Well then, why don't you silently think in my embrace? That sounds like an exquisite way to pass the time." Asked Celeste with a faint smile as she picked up Elif, who was significantly bigger than her, and carried him to her bed before plopping down with him in her arms.
It's gotten to a point where I don't even try to fight Great-Grandmother, as it's simply a waste of effort; besides, once you've accepted you can do nothing about it, it's honestly not too bad. She would stuff my face into her chest, which was both warm and comfortable, as if my head was sandwiched between two warm pillows, though on the other hand, with her legs wrapped around my waist, I was left with very little room for movement. However, I did quite enjoy moments of serenity like this, especially when it's shared with a family member.
'Still, being forced lowers the enjoyment factor.' Thought Elif lightly as he looked up at Celeste, who was silently resting her chin atop his head with a content smile.
Snaking my hand out of Great-Grandmother's hold, I reached down to her legs, which were wrapped around my waist, and tickled the soles of her feet; at first, nothing happened except for her smile growing; however, after a few more seconds, her grip finally loosened while she began to chuckle.
"Hehehe, E-Elif, hehehe, s-stop." Said Celeste through her giggles as she twirled about in her bed while Elif slowly backed away.
Continuing my assault for another minute or so once I believed her to be too absorbed with laughter, I quickly dashed for it as I escaped Great-Grandmother's room, where Mandy had been patiently waiting.
"Um, is everything alright, Your Highness?" Asked Mandy curiously as she caught Elif, who had run into her after escaping Celeste's devilish lair.
"Yes, everything is fine. I am just escaping the clutches of my Great-Grandmother, you know, the usual whenever I visit her." Replied Elif lightly as he backed away from Mandy while fixing his disheveled hair.
"Anyway, I need to figure out where the dimensional rift to the Aether Realm is. Follow." Remarked Elif lightly as he glanced at Mandy before trailing his finger across her jaw while walking away, prompting her to shiver in delight.

Hearing the door open, I opened my eyes and glanced to see who it was since Mandy was the only person I would expect to enter the bath, but she was already sitting right behind me, washing my hair.
"Elaine?" Said Elif in surprise as he gazed at Elaine, who wordlessly entered the bath while closing the door behind her.
Elaine didn't say anything and simply approached the bath before stepping into the hot water, causing me to raise an eyebrow since she still had her clothes on. However, from her expression, whatever punishment she experienced must've completely drained her since she didn't once glance at me or Mandy and just continued to stare straight into oblivion.
"Elaine, are you alright?" Asked Elif softly as he wrapped his arm around Elaine's shoulder, gently pulling her into his embrace, only for her to shiver.
"That. Was. The. Worst. Decade. Of. My. Life." Muttered Elaine softly as she subconsciously shivered while glancing down at herself, causing Elif to widen his eyes before nodding in agreement.
"Haa, you experienced the Mortal Illusion as well, Elaine?" "You also have, Elif?" Said Elif and Elaine, respectively, as the latter glanced at the former with her energetic and emotionless eyes, causing him to inhale a sharp breath.
'Hiss, my actual name? When was the last time Elaine called me Elif? Haa, the Mortal Illusion is truly ruthless.' Thought Elif with a pitiful gaze as he looked at Elaine, only to shake his head.
"I would like to apologize, Elaine. If I knew they would use the Mortal Illusion, I would've never told them about your condition." Said Elif earnestly as he lowered his head towards Elaine, causing her to faintly nod while gently patting his head.
"I appreciate it, Elif. But I had a lot of time to think, and you were definitely right; I was stupid to accept the Flame of Madness, which is infamously renowned for being untameable." Saide Elaine softly with a weak smile as she gently shook her head while glancing at Elif, who sighed again.
Lifting Elaine out of the bath, I sat her directly beside Mandy and removed her clothes, revealing her beautiful body, along with a talisman covering her crotch. Since I wanted to get Elaine out of her current state, I mounted her and began to kiss her body, starting from the top of her head while ever-so-slowly working my way down; though by the time I got to her lips, my cock was already painfully erect and pressing deep into her stomach.
Gently slapping away Elaine's hand, I continued to kiss every inch of my Princess's majestic body, spending a rather long time on her neck and collarbones, which were entirely red from the sheer number of hickeys, though that site only made me more aroused as my breath was now quite rough.
'H-How can a woman incite such lust in me?' Thought Elif in awe as he sucked upon Elaine's nipple while staring straight into her lust-filled eyes.
Feeling as if Elaine was having a similar thought, I sucked and licked all around her chest before working my way down to her toned stomach, which caused me to shiver in pleasure as my tongue trailed over her lithe abdomen.
'I-I'm not going to orgasm from this… Right?' Thought Elif skeptically as he glanced at his aggressively twitching cock before shifting his focus back to Elaine, who moaned.
Hearing my sweet Elaine's heavenly moans only served to further fuel me as I moved back up to her shoulders, where I then spent a few minutes licking her arms and sucking on her fingers, leaving them dripping with my saliva. Once her front was down, I gently flipped her onto her stomach and started from the top of her neck, and worked my way down, though while doing so, I found it impossible not to grind my cock against her plump butt.
Quickly moving down, I left a trail of hickeys across her back, trying to get as much of it covered, but I was too late as I finally ended up cumming, spewing thick ropes of my semen onto her back, painting it white.
"I don't know if I should be disappointed in myself or impressed with you, Elaine." Said Elif softly as he grabbed Elaine's chin, forcing her head up as the two passionately kissed while he wiped his cock on her back.
"Impressed with me, Brother." "Heh, 'Brother' seems I've succeeded in reviving the Elaine I know and love." Remarked Elaine and Elif, respectively, as the former faintly smirked while the latter smiled before licking her face.
Seeing Elaine's beautiful smile, I kissed her once more before moving down to her butt, only to watch her grab both cheeks as she spread them, revealing her pink arse, which caused me to gulp.
"If it's okay with you, I'd like to keep that talisman on for a little bit longer— ~Ahhh~ You didn't even let me finish ~Ahh~ Brother." Said Elaine softly while inviting Elif, only to moan loudly as his cock reached deep into her arse.
Forcing Elaine to kiss me, I firmly held her down as I ravaged her arse from above, slamming my hips into her butt with such fierceness as if I were trying to break her, and from the sounds of things, she was enjoying just as much if not more than I was.
