Rise of the Eromancer

Chapter 339 Apollo

"By... by the gods..."

Clio completely had no idea what happened, but she and Rhys were back at the camp – the last thing she remembered was her hugging a tree while Rhys was violently destroying her insides. She did not really know how to explain the experience, but it was...

...life changing.

She had really only been taught how to pleasure a man by her maids – but Rhys had let her feel something she never really thought was possible. She thought it was dirty and immoral at first when Rhys just started licking her down there...

...but she almost completely lost herself when it happened.

Even now, while just thinking about it, she felt herself getting... wet on top of the blanket. She was completely naked, but she could not even make the effort of covering herself just in case they were not done...

...because they have been doing it for hours.

Her maids have told her that it usually only lasts for several minutes, they clearly lied.

"I... I won't be able to get married anymore," Clio covered her face in shame, "I've... lost my value as a princess. No... a woman's worth should not be measured by her purity."

Clio could really only talk to herself, convincing herself that what happened was completely normal and acceptable – even fully knowing that it was not at all. But if something that felt so good was wrong, then perhaps... it was better to be wrong.

And as her mind continued to race about what she had just done, her body soon felt the fatigue and slowly lulled her into the sweet confines of dreams.

As for Rhys, he just stared at the 5 Hearts floating above Clio's head; 4 of them, already filled. As far as he knew, Clio had absolutely no abilities or powers of any kind – so what exactly was he going to get by filling all of them?

"...No," Rhys quickly shook his head as the thought entered his mind. He promised himself that he was never going to conquer the hearts of people just because of their abilities, and yet here he was, measuring someone's worth with how useful they could be.

What... was he actually becoming?

He then very gently left the blankets, careful not to wake up Clio from her deep sleep. He then turned to look at the two suns floating above the skies – and this time, he took the time to stare at it; really stare at it.

Both Rhys and Clio could not help but widen their eyes as they saw a large peristyle being built – the workers did not really heed them any mind at all, only glancing at them once before returning to their work.

"This place..." And as Rhys felt Clio moving, he quickly hopped off the horse and just gently helped Clio down as well, "...I've seen this in my dreams."

Clio then suddenly ran away on her own, leaving Rhys with the reins of the horse.

"Hm..." Rhys just let out a small sigh; lifting a large rock near him and using it to pin down the reins so that the horse would not go anywhere. Of course, the drumming sound he made while doing so caught the attention of the workers.

Rhys just awkwardly waved his hand before following Clio through the crowd of workers.

"Rhys! Right here, here!" Clio quickly gestured to him to hurry up, waving her hand several times as she pointed at something, "This is the same exact spot I saw in my dream."

"This..." Rhys squinted his eyes as he looked at the large formation of rocks Clio was pointing to, "...That's a boulder, Your Highness. What could possibly–"

"The rock that would soon attempt to bear the likeness of the Sun God, Apollo."

And before Rhys could finish his words, a woman suddenly stepped out from behind the large boulder; the gown she wore, thin and long enough to brush the ground – and yet, it completely remained as immaculate as her face which almost glowed with the sun from how pale and fair she was.

She looked almost ephemeral; her silhouette almost fading in the light of the setting sun. Her hair, almost golden, and her eyes incredibly blue.

"It's... you," Clio let out a small but very deep gasp as she stared at the woman, "You're the oracle."

"I... do not know you," The woman blinked a couple of times as she looked at Clio; her face slightly confused. But she stared at her for just a moment before focusing her eyes back on Rhys, "But I do know you, Stranger."

"Hm?" Clio could really only squint her eyes as the woman approached Rhys... and then just kissed him right on the lips without any warning,

"W... what are you doing!?"

**AUTHOR'S NOTES**

I am trying my luck at Royal Road with a new book, Legendary Shadow Blacksmith, it will really really help me if you check it out and make a 5 star review T_T. Don't mention you came from Eromancer or Webnovel doe, that might slightly get me in trouble. It's also here in Webnovel, and I am still choosing where to actually put it since it is not yet contracted here. Thank you!
