Reincarnated as the Only Human

”So... that was the primary goal with this? Stirring the political pot?”

There wasn’t any accusatory edge to my voice yet Renna still came over to me and caressed my head as she said ”Of course it wasn’t the primary goal! Merely a very desirable and wonderful secondary goal!”, which was reassuring even if I didn’t really care if she had done this for that reason or not.

”The wine is actually that good, Astra. Considering I’ve only ever gotten to taste what’s on the shelves, I cannot even begin to fathom just how good the rest of it is... The curiosity of what different blends you have stored away is somewhat grating to me, but I suppose that isn’t something some more money couldn’t fix..?”

Squeezing my shoulder before I could even suggest that she could get a bottle or two so long as she just fucked me into a stupor again, Renna gave the other Duchess a smile as she said ”That is indeed true, Leonisa~! Just some more coin and you can get the wine Astra and I worked on together~! Completely hand made, of course...”

”If you weren’t so reasonably concerned about your public image you could most certainly market your top shelf wines with just that alone~! Just knowing that makes me believe that the wine will taste even better...”

Guiding me off of the Lionkin’s lap before I could send us spiraling back into depravity again, Renna instead walked me over to the desk and put my dress in my arms, making it clear I was to clothe myself immediately as she began to do the same.

”I don’t want to kick you out, Leonisa, but there is more we have to do before we head home tonight... Things best kept between us, as business partners. It was enjoyable having your company, and I cannot thank you enough for the assistance you have provided today...”

This time Renna wasn’t fast enough to stop me as I said ”Though we can most certainly try and thank you thoroughly~ tomorrow, Lady Duchess~!”, making Leonisa smirk and nod as she looked us both up and down one last time.

”I shall hold you up to that sometime tomorrow afternoon, Astra, Renna. It has been a pleasure, and I have some tasks of my own to complete. Until tomorrow then...”

Giving us a short bow and winking at Renna, Leonisa departed when she was clothed, leaving us alone and causing the Nymph to puff her cheeks out as she half glared at me, making me snicker as I said ”Don’t act like you dislike the idea of her coming to fuck our brains out tomorrow too.”

”That’s not the point, Astra... Yes I love how she pounds me from behind, and obviously I love the way she fills me up with that thick, gooey sperm of hers, but I don’t want to make her think she can just... come and fuck me whenever she wants!”

”But... hasn’t she done that a few times now?”

Renna blushed hard at that before ’smacking’ my arms a few times, making me grin at her before I planted a nice kiss on her pursed lips; that helped calm her down a little, and to make sure she wasn’t ’angry’ anymore I asked her a question unrelated to the Lionkin that had free reign over our bodies.

”What are we doing with the money? I presume you have a plan for it of some kind, related to this ’pot stirring’ of yours...”

Letting out a little huff to let me know she wasn’t entirely ’happy’ with me still, she began to reorganize the desk while she said ”The plan is a simple one. I want to start accruing more and more of the more ’dangerous’ businesses under more moderate banners to neutralize the political state of the city.”

”That’s... lofty.”

”It is, and more than likely it’ll fail, but even loosening one or two of the main Houses hold on the city will be beneficial, if only because it opens up more avenues for me to start pushing us out of complete stagnation.

I hate to say this, but the detriment of peace is how conceited and lazy everyone becomes; with no need to improve things just stagnate, and that isn’t good for anyone, from the humble farmers to the wealthy Nobles. More so amongst the Nobility, but they’re the more ’dangerous’ group because of the freedoms they have.”

”All that money but not having anything to do with it makes people start looking for ’newer’ things, right? Why don’t they just open up an art studio and have a bunch of artists paint random things or something like that?”

Renna chuckled and put the books back where they belonged before replying ”Because they’ve already done that once or twice. Some see it as a waste of money and others want the artists to start using more... ’premium’ canvases or paints. Opulence leads to some dark things...”

”Because people can’t just have sex like normal, hm?”

”I do believe you are the last person to suggest that, considering... everything. Need I remind you that you have more children inside of you now than most of the common populace will ever have in their own family?”

That kept me quiet, and after shooting that victorious smirk over at me Renna added ”As for the actual goals for this money and how it’ll be spent, mainly I’ll just be pushing some people to switch from one ’side’ to another. Key employees lost thanks to benefits or a pay raise, materials getting increased or decreased in value depending on what I need... those sorts of things.”

Just thinking about how she was going to start engaging in this shadow war without any hesitation or care in the world was actually... both worrying and super arousing, especially since she said it with such confidence as she continued to organize things to her liking, unable to help herself now that she was able to move around freely in this office.
