A Mother's Face That Can't Be Shown to Her Daughter

The tension between us snapped like a taut string.

"Prielle! Let go of me...!"

"Eh? Ehh? Uhh..."

Only then was I finally released.

An awkward silence settled over us, thick enough to choke on. Honestly, getting caught taking a piss outside by an academy student would've been less mortifying than this.

Prielle was the first to speak.

The girl raised a finger at me, stuttering. "B-back then, you never reacted like this even when I played pranks. D-don't tell me you've... changed in that way?"

"That way?"

"Y-you know... liking... other m-men..."

"Absolutely not!"

"Ah... really?"

When I shouted, her face lit up like the sun breaking through clouds. For some reason, clearing up the misunderstanding made my own expression soften too.

"Then... why did you... get hard?"

"This is..." I let out a long sigh.

Damn it, how the hell was I supposed to explain this?

The real reason was simple: Prielle was a woman. The soft, unmistakable sensation I'd felt against my back earlier was the unique plushness only a woman's breasts possessed.

But saying that outright felt incredibly awkward.

After all, she knew I was Aslan.

Aslan was sixty-seven years old. And her? Barely twenty.

Telling her the truth would make me sound like a complete pervert.

Completely unaware of my internal dilemma, the woman widened her eyes and pressed for an answer. "Kael?"

"Ah, well... it's just..."

But eventually, even Beres couldn't take it anymore.

Yeah. I was already creaming my pants like a degenerate. What was one more thing?

I took a deep breath and told her the truth.

"A while ago... I found out that you're a woman, Prielle."

"Huh? How...? No, when exactly?"

"Does that really matter?"

Her pure white hair swayed gently at her chin.

Her lake-blue eyes, as if they held the entire surface of a pond, trembled faintly from side to side.

But the trembling didn't last long.

Suddenly she froze, then her lips stretched wide into a sly...

Sly?

"Hehe... So that's how it is? Then what touched me earlier was because I'm a girl, right?"

"Y-yeah... probably?"

"But now I'm suddenly curious about something."

"What?"

A mischievous smile bloomed on her face.

It was the exact same grin Bella or mischievous ten-year-old brats wore right before pulling some crazy stunt.

This felt incredibly dangerous.

And my premonition was, as always, dead on.

"What did that mean earlier?"

"What?"

"What that woman between your legs said."

From the way she spoke, she was definitely referring to Beres.

...No way. Had she overheard our entire conversation?!

"'You're already walking around with a real-time pervert certification anyway. Since we're at it, let's dump a ton of seed in the northern kingdom too.' That's what she said. Hmm~ I wonder what that means?"

Shit. She really heard everything.

I was so embarrassed I lowered my head.

Why the hell had I forgotten that she could see Beres? If she could see her, of course she could hear her too...!

But at Prielle's next words, I immediately snapped my head back up.

"Huh? What? Why are you clutching your stomach laughing?"

Hey, ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠Beres!

'Misunderstanding my ass. You wanna get punished for real?'

I channeled my mana, grabbed my cock, and shook it violently like I was throttling her by the collar. Beres choked out,

'What am I doing? I'm about to teach you a—... Huh...?'

A chilling sensation crawled down my spine.

I slowly raised my head.

There stood a woman with an androgynous beauty and snow-white eyes, staring at me with wide, curious eyes.

She was looking directly at my exposed cock.

Fuck. Shit.

I quickly tried to stuff my dick back into my pants. Or at least, I tried.

But the woman grabbed my arm in a vice grip.

"Wait. I haven't seen enough yet."

What the hell was this prince—er, princess—spouting?

I was the crazy bastard who suddenly whipped out my dick and shook it, sure, but blocking me because she "hadn't seen enough"?

I thought that if I fixed the situation now, I might still be considered somewhat sane, so I tried to move my hand again.

But... it wouldn't budge.

"I told you, I'm strong♥"

The woman smiled.

Then she lowered her head and stared intently at my cock.

I could feel her cool breath washing over it.

Whether it was Beres's doing or not, my junior twitched up and down in response.

"Kyaa! So cute♥"

...This had to be a dream.

In the end, with both arms pinned by the delicate-looking woman disguised as a prince, I was forced to let her observe my cock for a full thirty minutes.

After she had her fill of staring, she planted a little kiss on the tip of my glans and finally released my hands.

"I'd love to... but I can't anymore. Sorry."

With that, she suddenly called for Prielle, who had been waiting outside.

The maid quickly entered the room.

"Tell them we're done here. We're going back."

Beres, thrilled to finally meet someone she could actually communicate with, hijacked my mouth like a damn avatar and spoke for me.

But Prielle clearly had no intention of changing her mind.

"Next time. We'll do it again next time."

"Haa... Then call me again."

"Okay."

I stood up from my seat.

I followed Prielle out of the building.

Just before leaving, I glanced back and saw Prielle smiling at me, waving her hand.

Strangely, frost and tiny ice crystals were rapidly gathering around her body.

A bizarre convergence and harmony of mana.

They soon sublimated into a hazy mist that enveloped her completely. At Prielle's urging, I had no choice but to leave the building without seeing what happened next.

Before climbing over the mansion's wall, I looked up at the third floor where Prielle would be and asked her maid,

"Is something wrong with her?"

"No."

"Then what was that earlier..."

Prielle's dry, emotionless gaze pierced into me.

She observed me silently for a moment, then bowed slightly and spoke before returning to the mansion.

"When the time comes, won't His Highness reveal it himself?"

Yeah. Secrets were best revealed by the person themselves.

With that, I turned away without any lingering attachment.

I slowly made my way back to my quarters, gazing at the sky that had already grown dark.

I thought I heard someone's manic laughter and a loud crash from behind me, but my mind was completely occupied by that strange phenomenon where Beres—who wasn't even manifested—had been seen. I didn't have the mental bandwidth to care about anything else.

And so, several days passed. Summer vacation finally arrived at the academy.

"You're really staying at the academy the whole time?"

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Then I'll send word before we depart. Make sure you're prepared."

"Understood."

The princess climbed into a carriage gleaming with golden accents, escorted by Tanya and the rest of the imperial knights, and headed back toward the imperial palace.

After seeing them off, I too left the academy grounds.

'To Renatri. I'm going to be away from the capital for a while, so I should let Linnell ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠know in advance.'

If I disappeared for two whole months without a word, her pussy might start throbbing so hard she'd send people out to look for me.

The sound of Beres's cheer echoing through my skull made me frown slightly as I strolled slowly down the street.

Summer had drawn unmistakably close. Under the blazing sun, heat haze rose so thick over the capital's streets that it was clearly visible.

Everyone walking through it—regardless of status—was sweating buckets.

Even when I stuck to the shade as much as possible, my whole body was drenched in sweat.

I was once again grateful that I'd left Aria at home.

I skillfully turned into an alley and headed toward the walls of Stronghold.

'It's really awful in the summer.'

I pinched my nose against the stench of piss and various excrement, then cast transparency and soundproofing spells.

After reinforcing my body, I jumped.

When I landed lightly, the disgusting smell that had been assaulting me was completely gone.

The alleyways within sight were impeccably clean.

The difference a single wall made was staggering.

It really drove home just how privileged the nobles of this country were.

Even the air itself felt refreshingly cool...

When I looked up, I saw a translucent, hazy film rising from the center of Stronghold like water from a fountain, spreading out and settling over the entire district.

They were using magic to regulate the temperature across all ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠of Stronghold.

'I never noticed because I always left the capital during summer break. So they had a system like this.'

I couldn't even imagine how much money had been poured into creating something like that.

Well, thanks to it, I was nice and cool now, so it was all good.

We arrived at Renatri like that.

Since Beres had never forgotten Linnell's aura, it took less than ten seconds to find her.

I quietly flew up into the sky with flight magic, carefully avoided detection spells, and landed gently in a corner of the garden.

"My, you're starting to carry yourself like a proper young lady now, Rose."

"Really?"

Two women were chatting.

One was a woman in her late twenties with wavy wine-red hair. The other was a girl who looked to be about thirteen.

I walked straight toward them without hesitation.

After all, with transparency and soundproofing magic active, there was no way they'd notice me.

I stood beside the one called Rose and quietly observed the woman across from her.

She was so captivating that simply looking at her made my cock throb. She had an allure that could seduce any man and even make him fall in love.

Although she was properly dressed, with only her cleavage exposed, her natural gifts—the deep valley between her breasts and her face—made her radiate a seductive, almost bewitching charm.

Just watching her was enough to make me rock hard.

And yet, when she smiled, it somehow brought a strange sense of peace to my heart.

She gave off a warmth that felt like it could embrace anything and everything.

'Gulp. Married women really do have their own special charm. Especially Linnell.'

I slowly moved behind her.

I positioned myself at her back and gently wrapped my arms around her.

There were only maids and escort knights around, and they were far enough away that there didn't seem to be any immediate danger.

In that case...!

When the girl's gaze dropped to her teacup, I slid my hand onto the woman's ass.

Linnell flinched, her body going rigid.

But when I slowly caressed her from her ass up to her back and then her neck, she recognized my touch and relaxed again.

Standing behind her, I carefully embraced her.

And every time the girl lowered her eyes to drink her tea, I moved my hands to roughly knead Linnell's breasts.

Mm. Hnng...

The woman's faint moans reached my ears.

The girl who heard them too asked, "Mom?"

"Yes?"

"...Never mind. I must have misheard!"

The two of them continued chatting like that.

Since she wasn't drinking tea, I couldn't attack her breasts. So I changed targets.

The second target I found was her crotch.

I carefully slipped under the table and spread apart Linnell's crossed legs.

"Hng?!"

I felt her surprise, but I ignored it and buried my head under her skirt.

I started by gently licking her thighs with my tongue, working my way inward.

The woman's legs trembled delicately.

Was she holding it in? But the moment my tongue reached her center, pushed aside her panties, and licked her pussy... she let out another soft moan.

"Haa...♥"

"Mom?"

"It's nothing, dear. So what did that young lady say?"

"Well, she said..."

‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠

Her daughter was talking to her mother in a slightly whiny voice, passionately recounting something, but I was certain.

Not a single word of that story was registering in Linnell's head right now.

Should I?

I pulled my head back and slid my fingers inside her instead.

My middle and ring fingers were gripped tightly by her soaking wet hole.

"N-no..."

I thought I heard her whisper, but I didn't stop.

With my fingers still inside, I adjusted my stance, hooked them, and thrust hard outward—fast and rough!

Squelch, squelch. Squelch, squelch.

An obscene amount of wet sounds rang out.

The daughter sitting across from her must have heard it too.

The woman clamped her legs together and tried to push down on my moving arm with both hands.

But her delicate arms had no hope of stopping forearms as strong as a knight cadet's.

Mm. Hng. Hnn. Hnnng.

Eventually, the moans started slipping out of her mouth.

The daughter sitting with her was in a panic.

"M-mom? Are you sick?"

"I-it's nothing... Mmh. Hng. N-nothing at all... Haa."

"But... your voice, Mom...!"

"Rose, M-mom is fine... Ohhh♥"

Less than ten seconds after saying she was fine, she reached her climax.

Thick fluids gushed out onto my palm.

Curious about what kind of face she was making, I slipped out from under her skirt and saw her with her head bowed under the table, hiccupping.

It was the face of a bitch in heat—the kind a mother could never let her daughter see.

Still, true to her status as a high noble, she quickly shook off the afterglow of orgasm and returned to her usual elegant demeanor.

"Rose. Mommy's a little tired... Shall we continue this another time?"

"Yes, let's! You look really exhausted, Mom."

"Alright. Then let's talk again tomorrow afternoon. Go rest now."

"Okay~"

The woman gave her daughter a light peck on the lips and sent her away.

The girl waved her arm enthusiastically once before disappearing into the building with graceful, ladylike steps.

Now that they were alone, the woman carefully stood up from her seat.

"I'll entertain you in the master bedroom. Is that alright?"

Of course.

But before I could even answer, my cock sprang out from my pants and slapped loudly against Linnell's ass.

In response, Linnell twisted her body seductively and cooed,

"Aigoo. Master, you're so naughty...♥"

Ah... um... Sorry, but that wasn't me.

Since I couldn't speak right now, I'd have to explain later.
