Chapter 22: The Empire's Mad Bitch
Click. Click. Click.
The sound of heels tore through the silence, echoing lowly across the moonlit corridor.
Then, at that moment, an unusual noise caught my ear.
I stopped walking and casually glanced behind me.
It was quiet.
So quiet that not a single sound could be heard—true silence.
What the hell? Is it just my imagination?
It felt a little unsettling, but I resumed walking, putting one foot in front of the other.
Yet a very faint noise began drifting from behind me.
Extremely cautious movement.
I turned around again.
...As expected, no one was there.
Am I being extra sensitive today or some—
“Hey. From what I see, it’s not that you’re sensitive. It’s that bitch.”
“That bitch?”
“That crazy bitch!”
I understood instantly.
Bella Hardrens, who had just taken the position of assistant professor for Practical Magic today.
My mind snapped awake.
What now?
The distance to my room was barely fifty meters.
But the moment I stepped inside, I’d be a trapped rat.
I’d be devoured without question.
“Just give up and accept your fate, Aslan. Your future is with that crazy bitch anyway. For the rest of your liiife!”
“S-Shut up!”
I shook my head violently.
After taking a deep breath, I broke into a full sprint.
“What are you planning?”
“How long until the academy’s magic detection barrier activates?”
“About fifteen minutes?”
“Then I’ll run straight to the princess’s room.”
“Ooh. So you’re finally spending a hot first night with the princess today?”
“Ah, I don’t know!”
While running, I glanced back.
A woman with blue eyes gleaming in the darkness was chasing me with terrifying speed.
Beres giggled as if the situation amused her greatly.
“Hey, hey. Just accept it already. Why run from a girl who likes you? She even said she’d serve you as a daytime sex slave and a nighttime husband, sleeping together every night.”
“You don’t understand. You have to be careful with women like that! Especially when you’re defenseless and sleeping!”
I’d spent thirty years on the battlefield.
Seeing insane people there was nothing new.
Whether it was watching someone die right in front of you, barely escaping death yourself, or simply becoming soaked in blood and slaughter for years—when five people gathered, at least two were mentally unstable. That was the battlefield.
And I had observed their behavior for a very long time.
If nothing else, sleeping beside someone when both parties were rationally vulnerable was pure madness.
“Well, that’s true. Even we demons don’t dare approach when the Demon King is sleeping.”
“One wrong move and you’re a corpse the next day. So bedtime must be avoided at all costs.”
“So you chose the princess?”
“Yeah. Even she wouldn’t barge into the princess’s bedroom demanding to sleep together, right?”
Above all, since the role of nighttime sex slave had been assigned to the princess, the justification was solid.
I quickly left the building and ran toward Reina’s quarters, my body wrapped in invisibility magic.
It wouldn’t do to spark rumors by entering the princess’s bedroom this late at night.
When I reached her door, I knocked quickly.
The maid seemed to be in the next room.
“Who is it?”
“It’s Kael.”
“Kael? What brings you at this hour…”
A moment later, right on the other side of the door, the princess cried out in alarm.
“Surely… you haven’t come for that, have you?”
The princess opened the door a crack and looked at me.
The sheer, see-through nightgown that revealed everything underneath captured my gaze.
Gulp. I’m losing my mind.
“B-But I am not yet mentally prepared.”
She tried to close the door again.
I quickly slipped my hand into the gap and held it open.
From the far end of the corridor came the sound of another door opening.
Huff. Huff.
A beast. Or perhaps a humanoid monster.
The red-haired thing scanned left and right down the hallway, spotted me, and approached with a chilling smile.
“Wow. I thought you’d shaken her off, but she followed anyway? This is actually thrilling.”
“Princess. I’m sorry, but I’m in a hurry. Excuse me!”
“S-Such…! No matter what, we still haven’t…”
I swiftly opened the princess’s door, stepped inside, closed it, double-locked it, grabbed Reina’s hand, and ran straight to her bedroom.
I climbed onto the bed, pulled the covers over us, buried my face in her chest, and tried to calm my pounding heart.
Fuck… This is the scariest thing I’ve faced in my entire life. Even when those damn cult fanatics were chasing me, it wasn’t this bad!
“Hehehe. Why? I’m just having fun.”
As I panted under the blanket, a soft warmth enveloped me.
The princess had pulled me into her arms and was gently patting my back.
“You don’t seem like yourself. I don’t know what happened, but sleep here tonight. I can rest somewhere else.”
The princess rose from the bed.
When I lifted my head, the sheer fabric clearly revealed her nipples and the hair over her mound.
Looks like the princess was hoping for this too.
I think so as well.
Then it was only natural to devour her.
I grabbed the princess from behind and pulled her close.
One hand cupped her breast, the other stroked her pussy.
“Eut. Hng. W-Wait… Kael. I’m sorry, but I don’t intend to…”
“Wearing something like this, weren’t you expecting it, Princess?”
“T-That’s not true! Seventy percent of my underwear is like thiiis… Ahng♥”
That only turns me on more.
For some reason, I suddenly want to sleep with the princess every single night.
“Let’s just sleep together, Princess.”
Reina fell into thought.
As she tried to move again, a figure suddenly appeared before us.
It was Bella, her red hair tied in twin tails.
“Hng~ I wondered where you were going, and it was here?”
“Why are you in my quarters!”
To the princess’s scolding, the woman simply winked.
She seemed completely fearless.
“I naturally assumed this was Kael’s room~ I followed so we could sleep together♥”
She’s lying right to our faces.
We had tea together here during the day.
But she’s so brazen and shameless that I have nothing to say.
“By the way, aren’t you two sleeping together?”
Bella asked after seeing our position.
The princess cleared her throat.
Then, shooing Bella away, she declared, “Get out! The nighttime sex slave is my responsibility.”
“Hng~ What a shame. If I’d known, I would have taken night duty.”
Bella stared at me intently for a moment.
Her eyes looked as if she wanted to burn my image into her mind so she could fuck me in her dreams all night long.
“Then I’ll see you tomorrow, Princess. See you tomorrow too, Kael~”
Bang.
With that, the terrifying moment passed and Bella disappeared.
The princess and I slumped down together.
With the tension gone, Reina’s pleasant, characteristic scent stimulated my nose and cock.
When my growing erection poked her back, the princess realized what it was, turned her head, and glanced down at it.
“Um… Are we doing it again today?”
“Of course. I’ll leave my pleasure to your breasts, Princess♥”
I woke to a pleasant sensation in my hands.
When I opened my eyes, a pink-haired goddess was sleeping peacefully while facing me.
My hands were cupping one of her breasts and one of her buttocks.
I kneaded with my left hand.
The soft, yielding texture of her breast fully woke me, and blood rushed into my cock.
This time I moved my right hand.
It felt firmer and fuller than her breast, yet packed with the silky, hundred-percent royal softness that filled my palm.
Really, no matter how many times I touch it, I never get tired of it.
The visual pleasure was just as addictive.
Her skin, nurtured in nobility, was pure white like snow, while her most intimate places were a lovely pink.
Even her pubic hair is pink.
My touch must have been quite lewd, because the princess’s elegant brows furrowed slightly and a sweet moan slipped from between her red lips.
A woman you want to embrace just by looking at her, and want to fuck the moment you hold her.
That was exactly who Reina Kshanberg was.
“If you want to fuck her that badly, just fuck her. What’s with keeping promises?”
What’s wrong with it? It’s fun. It feels like a game.
I moved my head closer to the princess’s adorable lips.
I kissed her softly, caressing her lips, and she smiled in her sleep before pressing hers against mine.
Was it because she was half-asleep? She was surprisingly aggressive.
“Chu. Mwah. K…ael?”
“Sorry. I woke you while you were sleeping so well.”
“It’s fine. I simply wish to sleep a little longer.”
It was still early dawn, after all.
She had diligently rubbed my cock between her breasts until midnight; she had every right to be tired.
The princess remained in my arms, holding my member tightly with both hands.
She used to call it a monster and look horrified, yet now she seemed genuinely attached.
After all, she was clutching it like a pillow while falling asleep.
Then I’ll sleep a little more too.
“Wow. Is that the guy? The empire’s cra— who uses both magic and the sword…”
“Shh. If you get caught saying that, your head’s gonna roll.”
“O-Okay… Thanks. This damn mouth of mine almost got me killed.”
Bella Hardrens.
On her first day as assistant professor, the auditorium turned into complete chaos.
Not because she had caused any trouble.
It was simply because every grade had gathered to see the face of the woman famously known as the empire’s crazy bitch.
The crowd was five times the usual number of students.
Seeing that, I got a headache, Bella was all smiles, and Reina looked delighted.
The more people there were, the higher her own value rose.
“That aside, you’re pretty lucky, Aslan. She took the daytime slave duty.”
Yeah, no kidding.
The three of us had arrived at the auditorium early to prepare for the lecture.
But that bitch Bella stuck to me like glue and refused to leave.
If things continued, strange rumors would spread across the entire academy, so I exercised my authority as master and forced her away.
Really, if Bella had been assigned nighttime duty, I would have been tormented day and night.
At that moment, Bella’s eyes suddenly met mine.
Pop. She winked.
Really… she has zero shame.
I could finally understand how the princess felt.
Doing such embarrassing things in front of everyone…
But that was only the beginning.
She suddenly lowered her hand and lewdly stroked her crotch from bottom to top.
I coughed.
“Kael? What is the matter?”
“…It’s nothing.”
“Keep an eye on that bitch from time to time. Otherwise, from what I see, she’ll get horny and cause an accident one hundred percent of the time.”
Understood…
Those troublesome, lewd temptations continued throughout the entire class, rapidly draining my mental strength.
By the time class ended, I—for the first time in my life—collapsed flat on my back on the floor.
What a filthy feeling. My body is fine, but my head is insanely tired.
“Hehe. Good work. Must’ve been mentally exhausting watching that crazy bitch’s masturbation show.”
That aside, we have a problem.
“What is it?”
The magic training.
Until now I could train alone with the princess, but now Bella had joined us.
I didn’t know whether her obsession with me was genuine, but there was no guarantee she wouldn’t become Pellermil’s eyes and ears.
So as we entered the princess’s private training room, I asked directly.
“Bella, whose side are you on?”
She smiled sweetly and asked back instead.
“Hng~ Master, whose side do you want me to be on?”
“Well… of course I want you on my side, right?”
“Then from today onward, I’m on Master’s side♥”
Did this girl misunderstand?
I needed to be more specific.
“You’re on the chancellor’s side, aren’t you?”
Bella pouted, widened her eyes, and shook her head vigorously.
She’s saying no…?
“Then whose side are you on?”
Bella poked my chest hard with her index finger.
“Of course it’s Master Kael’s~♥”
In the end, I gave up trying to figure out whose side Bella was truly on or what intentions she held.
She didn’t show even a speck of seriousness in anything she did.
And that would probably be the same in front of Pellermil.
If you want to watch, just watch.
With that, the princess’s usual training continued.
Watching it, Bella jokingly demanded to join, so I ended up teaching two students at once… gaining yet another disciple.
