On their way to Cill's room, many eyes were drawn to her. The passing students, the servants, and a handful of Minora sages were all eyeing her with a curious look. She looked different today, somehow, burdened and unburdened, and with Glyea following her, they assumed that something important had come up. After all, her being the new queen was already a rumor–one spread by Cill herself, though she would never admit to it herself, ever.
Anxiously, Glyea kept following the sage. Her heels clicked sharply against the black and white tiles, and the sound echoing from them set her apart from the rest of the crowd. A deliberate choice? She wondered, and although she was right, Glyea could never have guessed that it was Toma who'd ordered her to dress as such.
"Once inside my room, you are to listen and nod." Glancing back at Glyea from over her shoulders, Cill looked at her with a sharp, piercing gaze. "Is that understood? Just nod."
Contemplating what to do for a second, Glyea's lips parted to speak, but as Cill's lips shifted, she quickly swallowed those words and simply nodded.
"Good, your brother's already there, so don't embarrass me in front of my soon-to-be husband, my queen." Forcing a smile on her face, Cill picked up her pace. Following closely behind, Glyea could barely keep up, even though the sage was walking on heels while she had formal boots on. "Another matter, what happens between him and me, you do not need to concern yourself with."
'Damn it, what do I do?!' Somehow, the thought of Cill being with her brother felt worse than her attitude towards her. 'Why him? And what's with this story about her and my family being saviors? Why? Just why me?!'
The honor to be a queen, any other person would've gladly jumped at the chance, but Glyea knew what this was–a puppeteering strategy. They wanted her in a place of power so that they could control the royal seat. The sons and daughters of the queen might protest such a claim, but if the people were persuaded enough, they would vote in favor of the sages' wisdom.
Having her thoughts interrupted as she bumped into the sage's back, Glyea quickly took a few steps back. Horrified of being reprimanded, she looked up into Cill's eyes, but to her surprise, the sage was far too focused on her room's door to even notice what had happened. Reaching out to the doorknob, she quickly entered with a beckoning gesture thrown towards the knight.
Following her inside, she was made to move aside as Cill locked the door. And while she did so, Glyea noticed her brother sitting in a chair and a stack of books in front of him. Deep in his studies, he hadn't noticed that someone had entered the room just yet. But that quickly changed as Cill stood beside Glyea and called out to him.
"Soma, I'm back." Taking a step away from the sage, Glyea placed an anxious hand over her heart. However, making things worse, she watched as Cill's body began to transform, and like a giant, she stood nearly twice as tall. Frozen in shock, she looked at her from head to toe. Surveying every inch of her, especially the way her tits were larger than her entire head. "Soma, come on, sweetheart, your sister's here, and I need to get you both on the same track."
"Y-yeah…" Slowly getting off the chair, Soma turned around with his head hung low. Still just wearing his underwear as the rest of his clothes had been torn off by the half giant during sex, he stood fidgeting before his sister. "Uhm… Hi…"
Waving at her with a weak smile, he tried to look at her for long, but couldn't. The shame from possessing the shared knowledge of what had happened between him and the sage was far too much for an introvert like him.
"H-hi, Soma. Are you…" Glancing sideways at Cill, Glyea felt a bead of sweat trailing down her head. "Are you okay? I-I mean, where are your clothes?"
"I couldn't have him dressed as a commoner, could I?" Placing a hand on her shoulder, Cill squeezed Glyea's arm tight. Looking up at her with a trembling smile, the knight exalted all that she held. "A tailor is working on his gown. As you know, a sage or their spouse can only wear white, androgynous clothes. Courtesy of Saint Mediora and a decree from the Majora himself."
"Y-yes, ma'am…" Glyea faintly remembered hearing about such a clause. It was meant to show solidarity to Saint Mediora, as their form often drew ridicule from people long ago.
"Well then," pushing Glyea forward, Cill motioned the two to take a seat on her queen-sized bed. "Settle down, I have a lot to tutor you two. And you better pay attention as this is for your own good, do you understand?"
"Yes…" Nodding her head, Glyea did as she was told. She expected her brother to follow suit, but he simply stood by the chair, fidgeting still. Instead of reprimanding him, however, Cill walked next to him and took a seat in his place. Then, one of her hands wrapped around his waist, and she guided him until he was sitting on her leg.
Too embarrassed by the open display, Soma kept his head dejected while Glyea stared at the sight with utter dismay. The two had always known that the sages' minds were twisted, but to see one act out just how twisted they can be was beyond what they'd expected.
"Imperetively," scooping Soma further up in her lap, Cill stared in Glyea's direction. "Your brother shall father a few children with me, and our wedding will take place as soon as the votes are drawn in your favor. We will sell the story about your parents being saviors and you being an extension of them by saving a whole fleet of towns north-east of the capital."
As Cill began her explanations, the two listened to her helplessly. The sister was far too fearful of the sage's approach to dissent to speak in retaliation, and the brother was conflicted, for, however cruel she may seem, Cill was the first woman who'd made love to him. And yet the fact remained that they were both puppets in her game. Now, how far she strings them along in her plot against the sages, that shall remain curtained until it's already too late.
