500th Time Reborn, A World Only Known By Women: The Karma System-Chapter 442 You Bitch! That Was My Tart!

"Interesting. What other creatures of the night have you procured?" Morgana asked curiously, but I pulled her into a kiss.

"Enough talking for now, there is still plenty of night left, and I am sure that more monsters will call out soon enough," I said against her lips, and she laughed.

"I do believe you are right," Morgana nodded as she fluttered her eyes closed again and allowed our kiss to deepen before we pulled away.

"Do you want to go see them?" I asked with a smirk, and Morgana's smile deepened.

"Lead the way," She said as she grabbed my hand, and I gestured for a portal to open, but Cynthia, the Cursed Enchantress, was tossed through. It had been to the inn, but I guess the girls were going at it.

"You bitch! That was my tart and the last one!" Cleena screamed as she came flying through the portal, and I groaned.

I was about to put up my hand to stop them, but boney hands burst from the ground and pulled the girls apart. Morgana broke from me and turned around to face the girls as the blue of her eyes bled to red.

"What do you think you are doing?" Morgana asked in an unusually deadly voice as the air crackled with Dark Magic.

"Wait! Why is there a Lich here!" Cynthia cried as she tried to struggle against the bone hands that were getting awfully handsy with the girls.

"Galio brought me here," Morgana said, her voice much calmer than before.

The bone hands disappeared, and Cynthia stared at us in shock, but Cleena just crossed her arms and smiled sheepishly. 𝐟𝗿𝚎𝐞𝓌e𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵ𝒆𝑙.c𝚘𝓶

"Well, well, you must be Galios' new lady friend? It's nice to meet you! I didn't think that a Lich would be caught consorting with humans anymore," Cleena said with what sounded like admiration as she turned back to Cynthia, who was still trying to comprehend everything that had happened.

"Yes, this is Morgana, the Lich Queen. She has been living here for countless years, but she was being controlled, so I broke her free from it," I said as I walked over to her side and put an arm around her shoulders possessively.

Now it was Morgana's turn to show surprise as she looked up at me with wide eyes. "You really do care about me?" She asked, obviously surprised, and I smiled down at her.

"Of course, why wouldn't I? You have done nothing wrong, and yet people judge you unfairly. You may have been born a Lich, but that doesn't mean that you deserve any less respect than the rest of the world," I said and then kissed her forehead.

Morgana laughed lightly and looked away shyly. "I guess some of us can still find love even if we are cursed with dark power," She said softly and, after looking around, shifted uncomfortably close to me.

Cynthia seemed to snap out of objectivity and sighed. "Okay, so since things seem nice between you two, how about we settle this fight before someone gets seriously hurt?"

"Yes, let's all just calm down and talk this through. What is this about a tart?" I asked, and Cleena threw up her hands.

"That bitch ate half the box that was brought, and I had hidden one to eat after I ate my meal! She went and found it! Then the cow ate it!" Cleena snapped, and Cynthia rolled her eyes.

"Well, are you really that surprised? Everyone knows that I have a sweet tooth," Cynthia said in her defense as she crossed her arms, and I shook my head.

"Come on; let's all just go back to the inn now. There is no point fighting over something so small." I said and then looked at the portal to the inn. "Cleena, I will get more tarts than both of you can eat, and that should solve the problem," I suggested as an olive branch, and Cleena smiled sweetly.

"That's very kind of you, but that won't be necessary. Cynthia and I are not fighting anymore; the tart has been forgotten about," Cleena said with a nod before walking into the portal.

I hardly believed that, but they were all monsters in one form or the other, and I didn't really expect them to behave. In fact, that was kind of the point since I would be bringing the prisoners here soon.

That reminded me about the five women that needed to be brought here, but they couldn't just be tossed in. I wanted the women to have a chance at redemption, but that wouldn't happen if the girls ate them. Barriers and magic were going to have to be set in place for it to all workout. I was almost guaranteed to find more monster girls on the islands that I visited, so there was a good chance that this little town would get a lot bigger, but it was hard to see all the girls working together unless it was to kill something.

Still, I hoped for the best. Maybe with time and a little luck, every creature here could have a new home and purpose.

"So, you decided to come to see how things are going?" Matilda the Jorōgumo asked me as we all came through, and I grinned.

"Why? Did you girls miss me?" I asked as the portal closed behind me.

"Of course I did! Do you think Cleena will even let me get close to her now? Cynthia is stronger than me, so that is a waste of time, but why did you bring a Lich here? That is just going to tip the power all to her!" Matilda complained, and I laughed.

"I never said I was leaving Morgana here; I just thought that she might want to come to visit you all," I said, but Morgana shook her head.

"No, I think that I will stay. You are bringing prisoners here, right?" Morgana asked, and I nodded. "Then you are going to need someone to watch over them, so the girls don't eat them first, and I am the perfect candidate for that job."

"Alright then. Thank you for being willing to help out," I said, but the three other women flinched.
