Chapter 4: Royal Pain (Part 1)
PREVIOUSLY...
[WHICH ESCORT WILL YOU CHOOSE?]
[OPTION 1: MASTER OF THE BURNING TOWER]
[OPTION 2: THE GRAND DUKE]
[OPTION 3: THE ROYAL PRINCE]
[OPTION 4: "I need more time!"]
Truthfully, I didn't need more time after everything that had happened today. I was afraid to leave the priest, but it was time for me to advance the plot! Bracing myself, I made my selection.
NOW...
Maybe I'd been too eager, I wondered as I stared at the pile of clothes, glittering to indicate that I could equip it. When I'd made my selection, Father Shion had rushed to get everything in order. I was to be sanctified tonight before leaving the monastery, so he needed to hurry and get the ceremony together. Meanwhile, my job was to get dressed and wait until someone came to get me. I also needed to ponder the notififcation I'd gotten when I was alone.
[YOU HAVE RECEIVED A NEW QUEST:
ALL HAIL THE KING!
OBJECTIVE: See Prince Hubriste made the Crown Prince, to inherit his father's throne.
REWARD:???]
Prince Hubriste was the obvious choice given how he was the only one who hadn't literally assaulted me in our first meeting. Clearly, he would be the easiest to see reason and could be convinced to keep me as a religious advisor as we'd previously discussed. If I could just get everyone to believe that he was the one Intacta's own Herald thought should be the heir, then for sure he'd become the crown prince, right? That should basically fast track me to completion of the game and get me a ticket back to my real life! I didn't really have a reason to believe that finishing the game would do that...but I HAD to believe something would work! What were my other options? Distracted and a bit on autopilot, I approached the clothing.

[EQUIP ALL?]
[YES] [NO]
I was choosing to equip everything before actually reading the list. I noticed the panties a half second before the clothes I was already wearing started to glow in time with the heap in front of me. When they finally materialized, I gawked in mortification at the outfit in my status window. The white, button-up crop top clung to my body, clearly revealing the bright red, lace bra underneath. If I raised my arms, the top lifted to fully expose the bra. It was see through, which meant lewdly exposing my nipples. The sight of them trapped under the delicate lace and the feeling of it scratching softly, but persistently against my skin as I shifted hardened both nipples. 'They're just sensitive from the days events, that's all,' I insisted to myself.
Pulling my top back down as far as it would go--which still left my entire midriff exposed--I was forced to turn my attention to my lower body. The red high heels paired with knee length white stockings were a nightmare, but even worse was the white, microskirt that was practically adhered to Jester's body it was so tight. His smooth, flat belly was fully shown and even his tiny package was practically peeking out if I moved too quickly or took too wide of a step. The red panties were already visible through the fabric, just like the bra, but to have the bright red lace peek out was simply too much. Like usual, Jester's unsoiled peach was beautifully displayed, hugged lovingly by the fabric and the lower part of his globes peeking out along with the tip of his crack. It also showed that the panties didn't have a full butt and instead had a single strip of lace curving around each mound. Once again, if I were to bend over, my asshole would be completely on display.

I wanted to re-equip my old clothes, but they'd completely vanished. With nothing else to do, I waited the next hour for Father Shion to return. He stopped short when he saw me, a slight flush coloring his normally pale cheeks. "Your escort was told to bring appropriate clothing for you to be sainted. Perhaps there was some confusion," he explained, averting his eyes. From the bag at his side, he withdrew a heavy cloak, which he handed over to me. I gratefully accepted it.
[JOURNEYMAN'S CLOAK EQUIPPED: -8 SEX APPEAL!]
The cloak went all the way down to my knees, was heavy, and dark grey. My stockings and heels were still plainly visible though, which was embarrassing, but not as bad as the entire outfit. I was uneasy now. It had seemed like we were on the same page when we'd spoken about my role as his supporter for the throne. He'd agreed to my position as his advisor, so why send such a ludicrous outfit? Sure, he'd obviously been drawn to Jester, that was to be expected with this game, but I'd made the right decisions to not unlock a scene and by the end of our meeting he'd looked positively bored with me. 'I can keep it up,' I assured myself. 'Not to mention, he would have chosen this outfit before meeting me. He probably just didn't have a chance to get me new clothes.'
Reassuring myself of his disinterest, I followed Father Shion into a different chapel than the one he'd held the morning service. This was more of a proper church it seemed, with images of Intacta in various poses of victory displayed in stained glass windows and a large, domed ceiling. The benches were filled with both acolytes and priests, eager to watch as I was officially sanctified before being sent on my way.
At the head of the room waiting for me stood Prince Hubriste, still as lovely as a painting. He wore a placid expression as the father and I approached, making no comment of the cloak I was wearing. He took my hand maybe a little too firmly, but I chalked that up to me being oversensitive, and led me to stand before a large statue of Intacta. As ever, it had massive, perky tits that were pronounced and detailed through her form-fitting robes.
I kneeled in front of her likeness as directed, the prince and the father standing to each side of the statue. I couldn't help but momentarily feel awkward with my face at level with both their crotches as they faced me. In other circumstances, I wouldn't have been opposed to being in this position, to be honest. There was a long period in university where I'd given out free blowjobs like they were candy, didn't matter who. Jocks, professors, janitors, if you had a dick, I was willing to suck, even if I'd never been willing to bottom.
Father Shion handed me an ornate chalice, heavy and silver. I drank half the sweet wine inside and then poured the rest of the liquid over the carved feet of the statue before me, repeating a prayer after the priest, though it was in a language I didn't recognize. As my prayer came to an end, I was enveloped in a soft, white glow that warmed me from my core.
I recognized this warm, floating feeling from my dream before waking up as Jester the first time and when Shion used his magic on me. A chime sounded.
[HOLY POWER AWAKENED!]
[PASSIVE ABILITY UNLOCKED: RIGHTEOUS AMBITION]
[PASSIVE ABILITY UNLOCKED: ADDICTIVE SERENITY]
[ACTIVE ABILITY UNLOCKED: BANISH SPIRITS]
[ACTIVE ABILITY UNLOCKED: BANISH DEMONS]
Because of the crowd of people staring directly at me, I wasn't able to inspect any of the notifications that appeared, but I wouldn't have had time anyway as Father Shion spoke. "Arise, Saint Valroy!" He half shouted, half-cheered, spurring the crowd to applaud and rise to their feet.
He took a half step towards me before he was blocked out by Prince Hubriste stepping forward. He was beaming, an angel's smile on a man more statuesque than Intacta's stone effigy. I'll admit, I was momentarily mesmerized as I reached for the hand he offered. But I was wrenched from that stupor as he pulled me too roughly to my feet, causing Jester's slight form to stumble and fall into his open arms.
