Chapter 68: Lavender's Time Limit
As much as I would love to talk about Alexander, the last person I wanted to know about Alexander was Lily; she's been known to steal men from women on many occasions, and while I didn't think she'd do something like that to me, I don't know what she'd do after I died, as I can't completely rule out the possibility. After all, Alexander is amazing.
"Lily, can we speak about it later, okay?" Asked Lavender as she looked at the excited Lily through the floating image displayed by her adventurer license.
"Nope, I need to know the details right now, Lavy; there is no way I'm about to let you brush aside the man who stole your heart. After all, he must be exceptionally special if he managed to make the [Leader Of the Gypsies] fall in love with him." Remarked Lily with a devious smirk as she stubbornly desired to know about Alexander.
'Ugh, this little…' Thought Lavender in annoyance as she rolled her eyes and sighed before eventually caving to Lily's desire, knowing just how petty she could be when she doesn't get her way.
"Fine, I'll tell you, but you better not try to steal him away from him; otherwise, I'll take you with me to go see Goddess Eywa." Stated Lavender with utmost seriousness as she glared daggers at Lily, causing her to nod nervously while increasing her desire to meet Alexander.
"I first met him a little over 16 and a half years ago after he escaped a tragic event; ever since then, he's been living with me, though only recently did our relationship enter the next stage. His name is Alexander, well, it's Alexander Vestalis now, and he's…" Said Lavender with a frown as she reluctantly started to tell Lily about Alexander.
At first, I was somewhat hesitant to tell Lily about Alexander, but as time passed and as I continued to speak about Alexander, my inhibitions about it started to vanish; before I knew it, I had forgotten entirely why Lily called me as I was blissfully speaking about Alexander as if a young woman gossiping with her friends.
"Oh! He's also an amazing cook; you must taste his food when you visit! It's like he turned Heaven into something you can eat; it's utterly sublime!" Said Lavender with a giant smile of joy as she spoke to Lily, who silently listened.
"Ho, he does indeed sound amazing; I'm rather excited to meet this man. I bet he's handsome as well, no?" Remarked Lilly softly with a thoughtful hum, feeling incredibly happy that Lavender had finally found love.
"Don't even get me started on his appearance, Lily; he's like a chocolate mountain with clouds for hair! His caramel-colored skin is so silky smooth, and his muscles, ~Ahh~ he's like an angel; I'm confident he could put even Elves to shame, he's that handsome." Declared Lavender eagerly while going into more detail, occasionally emitting a soft moan.
"Alright, alright, Lavy, I get it; he's the most handsome man on the planet." Said Lily in fake envy as she chuckled, finding Lavender very cute when so eagerly speaking about Alexander.
"Anyways, what I want to know is, how big is his cock, and how's the sex? Is he good in bed, or what? Because nobody is perfect, but so far, you've been describing this Alexander as if he is perfect, which I don't believe. He must lack in something!" Added Lily with a mischievous smirk as she leaned closer to her adventurer license, though her words caused Lavender to show a prideful expression amidst her blushing face.
"Heh, I know you'll be jealous when you hear this, but his manhood is utterly massive! Roughly the size of my forearm! I can't even take it all the way inside me when we make love." Declared Lavender proudly as she showed Lily her forearm, which was a pretty accurate comparison.
"T-That large!? That's impressive for a human, and to think my dear Lavy was taking such a monster of a cock; but even so, how's his stamina? Having a large cock is nice, but it means nothing if he's not able to last, that's even more important, in my opinion." Remarked Lily with a slight shock, feeling her core heat up at the thought of taking such a size inside her; granted, it would've been far from the largest thing she'd taken.
"Well, to give you an idea of his stamina, as you can tell from the semen in my hair, we just recently finished up a night, or I should say a day of lovemaking." Said Lavender with a prideful grin as she looked at the astonished Lily.
"A-A full day of sex!? You must be kidding me!? He isn't even a Tier 1, yet he can already last a full day of non-stop sex? I don't believe you, Lavy, that's too much. You've literally just described the perfect man; you must be lying!" Exclaimed Lily in disbelief as she stood up from her couch and walked around, her desire to meet Alexander and gauge him for herself increasing by the second.
"Not only am I not lying, but the only reason we stopped was because the endurance-enhancing potion I took finally wore off; if it weren't for that, he would've been able to continue for who knows how long." Said Lavender with a smug smile as she practically rubbed Alexander in Lily's face, though her words caused the two to remember the problem at hand.
"Endurance-enhancing potion, as Succubus, I respect your desire to have sex, but Lavy, that was a stupid decision given your condition." Said Lily, her smile vanishing along with the joyful atmosphere as she sat down and eyed Lavender.
"Yeah, I know, but I won't stop; your tattoo has already been activated, so I don't have much longer to live; my days are numbered. If that's so, I'd rather spend the remainder of my life pleasing Alexander and spending quality time with him than anything else." Declared Lavender with a wry smile as she shook her head, her decisions final, something Lily could discern, but she wasn't about to give up, not on her best friend.
"I understand where you're coming from, Lavy. I really do, and if I were in your position, I'd want to spend the remainder of my life with you, Marlin, and Simba, as you all are family to me. But that doesn't mean you should give up your life; the three of us have been searching the continents for ingredients to cure the poison; we've already found several ingredients but were only missing two more: the heart of a Hydra and a magma flower. And Marlin has already made a deal with a merchant who happened to have a magma flower, so now we are merely waiting for them-" Stated Lily anxiously, her words causing Lavender to display a soft smile before shaking her head and interrupting her.
"Mythical." Said Lavender, her words causing Lily to give her a confused look before her eyes widened in disbelief as signs of fear took over.
"N-No, t-that's impossible!" Yelled Lily with traces of suppressed sadness as she stared at Lavender, though her unflinching expression said it all.
"H-How, h-how did he get his hands on a Mythical poison?" Asked Lily in defeat; tears began to form in her eyes as she collapsed on the couch behind her and blankly looked towards the sky, knowing everything they'd been doing had been for naught.
"I don't know, nor do I care anymore; thanks to Alexander, I managed to learn it was a Mythical poison eight years ago, and while it was terrible news, I quickly came to terms with my death; after all, there is nothing for me to worry about. You, Simba, and Marlin will be fine without me; my nephews and nieces are more than competent enough to run the Kingdom, not like I'd be of much help in the matter." Remarked Lavender with a light chuckle as she thought about everyone she cared for before her mind ended on the person sleeping on her bed.
"The person I'm a little concerned about is Alexander; he's very attached to me, and my abrupt death will be a tough thing for him to swallow. If it's not too much trouble, could you stay by his side for some time after my passing? Just to make sure he doesn't do something stupid." Added Lavender with a lovely smile while tears formed in her eyes as she thought of Alexander before looking at Lily.
"O-Of course, Lavy, anything for you; are you sure you want me to do it? If he's truly as perfect as you've described, I may want him for myself." Said Lily as she wiped her tears and suppressed her emotions about the matter before nodding at Lavender with a somewhat forced smile.
"Heh, that may be just what he needs; I just want you to distract him from my death, whether that be through sex or other means is irrelevant to me." Remarked Lavender lightly with a smirk as the two descended into silence.
"Anyways, Lavy, I-I'll gather Simba and Marlin; we'll visit you real soon, okay, so don't go dying on us until then. Bye, Lavy." Said Lily with a forced smile as she waved goodbye before the floating image disappeared, causing Lavender to place her adventurer license back on her forearm.
"Now, then, Let's get some sleep, I'm tired." Muttered Lavender as she exited the bathroom after spending a few hours speaking with Lily and approached the bed where Alexander was still lying.
Quietly getting back into bed, I snuggled deep into Alexander's loving embrace that dispersed all my thoughts before eventually falling asleep.
