Chapters 24 and 25
-Leon's POV-
"Ghu... yawn"
I got up from a pleasant night of dreams. Having Luna sleep with me was very nice. I turned towards Luna for a moment.
'I wouldn't mind having you by my side for the rest of my life.'
I sat up and stretched in the bed. I put my shirt back on that I had taken off the night before and looked over at Luna.
She was still sleeping pleasantly. I could tell from her expression the type of dream she had. Her face was glowing with a happy smile. I silently laughed at the cute expression she was making.
She had her arms snuggled up against herself, and her light skin shined in the morning light. I very much enjoyed just watching her sleep.
I took the covers pulled them over our bodies, then nudged myself closer to her. I wrapped my arm around her and kissed her forehead.
'I think this feeling in my chest is love. Because I want you by my side forever.'
I decided to move a little farther under the covers. My hand slid up and down her side and back. Every time I hit a sensitive spot with my lips I could hear quiet moans and gasps. My lips reached her neck and were about to go slightly lower.
Until I heard, "Master?!". Luna sat up and covered her top with the covers, she was surprised or embarrassed, probably both. When I sat up and looked at her she looked in another direction, having her head slightly turned down.
Her ears and cheeks were red, but when she finally looked back at me, not even turning her head, she spoke.
Her tone was timid, and her green eyes looked deep into mine. They were very seductive.
"You, you said that you would wait till we got to your territory. So why are you doing so many naughty things in the morning?"
I breathed a quick laugh.
I got closer to Luna and looked into her jewel eyes. I moved my face close to hers.
"All I did was touch you slightly and give you a few kisses. Am I not allowed to at least do that?"
After Luna went silent for a moment I kissed her on the lips and pulled her close for a hug. I don't know why but having even just a little physical contact with Luna fills me with so much comfort.
"I'll respect your wishes, Luna. I won't force you to give me your body but I hope we can at least have a little physical contact like last night. You did promise to do whatever I wish as long as I saved those girls."
"If that's your wish, I'll accept such contact.."

After Luna and I got more and more awake, we decide to get ready for the day. Even though we were still sailing, with only a day to go at this point, I still had some stuff to do.
"Luna, can you see if the other girls are awake, if not can you wake them."
"Sure, master."
She walked off to the other room where the girls were staying.
"Growl"
My stomach growled for a second, and after realizing it, I didn't eat much the day before. Just breakfast and some stuff on the way to the ship, but thinking more on the subject, the others must be famished.
I walked out and went to the storage area, I said, "good morning" to the captain and greeted some of the crew. They were nice, some even offered to help me get some food.
I agreed to the offer and the deckhand went to the storage area, where they kept the food and brought back a tray with a variety of things.
When I got back to the room the girls were groggy, some with seasick expressions and others tired. I gave out the food, hopefully enough for them to last till noon.

The day went by pretty fast, though there was nothing to do, all we did all day was talk and try to sleep some more.
Night came, Luna and I snuggled in the bed as always. The pleasant look on her face as she was lying next to me, gave me some proof that she enjoyed being around me.

"Master! Wake up! We're about to dock!"
"Master, master!"
Luna was trying her hardest to wake me up pushing and shoving me, I slowly opened my eyes and saw her face. I instinctively grabbed her and hugged her tight like some plush toy.
"Master, you're crushing me."
She tried getting loose but I didn't let up.
"Master wake up!"
I then came out of the drowsy, half-asleep state I was in and let her go.
She shook me off and pushed me till I got out the bed. I got dressed and went out of the cabin with her. I saw the group of girls at the bow(front), looking at the city that was dead ahead. We were almost there, just a little way to go.
Once the crew dropped the ramp to get off the ship, we all walked off. The city was very crowded, the shops and stands were visited regularly. The port itself had a marina full of ships, some leaving, some docking like ours.
——————-
The group was greeted by a couple of guards. They seemed to be stationed at the docs, one guard, in particular, was at the head of the group, with a different uniform.
"Welcome back my lord, how was your journey? You're back, so I presume it went well, with no problems."
"Oh, it was fine, Jesse, there weren't too many problems."
Jesse's hands grasped his helmet and showcased his face. His eyes moved from Leon to the girls behind him.
"Well, it looks like you brought back some girls. Are these your rewards by any chance?"
"Um, no only this one. Her name is Luna, treat her nicely."
Leon put his hand on Luna's shoulder, she was right by his side. Jesse bent down to her level and stared at her face.
"Ha, I thought I was the only one who was interested in cute girls, glad I'm not alone."
"Huh, shut up."
He put his hand on her head and rubbed it a little, giving her an encouraging smile.
"You got a good master, cutie."
He then stood up, at eye level with Leon.
Jesse was taller though, his large build matched one's expectation of a guard who trains daily.
"If the others aren't your rewards then who are they?"
"Oh, these girls are the other demon lords' rewards that they didn't want. So I decided to help them out a little by bringing them back home."
"Well my lord before you do that why don't we escort you to your carriage. We'll bring the others to your manor in our carriages."
"Sure, but you better not fool around with these girls, they've been through enough as it is."
"Of course, I'll keep my men in order."
"I'm more worried about what you might do rather than your men."
His hand slammed Leon's back in a friendly manner.
"Hey, I'm not that big of an asshole."
"Yea yea, I'm just kidding."
Leon looked at the girls behind him.
"You girls are in good hands, so don't worry."
————
There were a couple of carriages waiting for them. Leon walked to his one, he opened the door and gave Luna his hand. After he helped Luna in he got in as well.
Jessie and his men, as well as the group of girls, got into the rest of the carriages and horses.
"So, what's your name?"
Jesse stared at Mable, she looked out the window. She looked at him as if she didn't know what was going on. His eyes were dead on her.
Finally understanding the direction of his question, she answered.
"Mable."
"That's a nice name."
"I'm Jesse, I'm Le.. my lord's right-hand man when it comes to the guard."
"Oh, well it's nice to meet you, Je. Jesse."
Mable looked at him with hopeful eyes.
One of the subordinates sitting next to Jesse looked at Mable and whispered to him.
"Hey, aren't we supposed to not mess around with these girls?"
"When I get the chance to talk to a cute girl like her, I'm going to take it."
He said that as a whisper at first, but by the end of the sentence Mable was able to hear.
Her cheeks went pink and she looked down at her hands that were clasped together.

After a while in the carriages, they came across a quant town, though it wasn't as large as the port city it still seemed to have a lively aura.
The town itself was situated near a cliff, and high on top near the edge was a large estate. It wasn't some medieval stone castle. It resembled an elegant manor, with the sea and town on either side. Leon woke Luna who doze off from the trip.
"Hey Luna, look, you see that big house, that's going to be your home from now on."
She peered out the window, her eyes widened after catching sight of it.
"It's beautiful.!"
Leon let out a laugh under his breath.
"Huh, I think you're much more beautiful. I guess Jesse was right, cute is my type."
