Chapter Title: The Lord Who Exercises the Right of the First Night (12)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
It took longer than I expected... but anyway, Rozina fell for me right on plan. A C-rank means her feelings for me outweigh those for the protagonist. She probably ended up wanting me more after all those constant comparisons.
Now, to raise the rank further, I need to deliver a netorare shock to the protagonist—in this case, Agon. For example, dragging the Rozina couple straight to the castle without any buildup, tying Agon to a chair, and showing him Rozina screaming, "Nngh... I love the Lord's cock more." That's what it'd take to boost the rank.
But... if that was the plan, I wouldn't have bothered with all this elaborate scheming. Going full brute-force netori like that makes it hard to hit A-rank. Her sense of betrayal toward me would be overshadowed by resentment toward him, no doubt.
So now that we're this far, I need Agon to witness Rozina offering her body and heart to me of her own free will. That's why I revived the right of the first night and played the sweet guy. Nothing less than that gets me the A-rank.
Which leaves just one thing: how to get Rozina to the castle... This is exactly why I picked the lord character—makes it easy when you need to flex some authority. Perfect timing too, with the Smith Merchant Group heading to Horn. Heh heh... Sorry, Agon, but that trip's not gonna be fun for you.
-Knock knock knock
"My Lord, it's Sera."
"Mm, come in."
-Creak
"As scheduled, today's bride, Lady Alche, has arrived."
"Good. Show her in."
Until then, I can just fuck the new bride while waiting for Rozina to show. Lately, word must be spreading somehow, 'cause the number of couples lining up to marry has exploded. Keeps my dick plenty busy. A most welcome trend.
"That said, did you know? Lady Alche is quite the hag."
"...Uh, is that so? Hm... Still, we should at least have a meal together."
"And she's got an enormous build. Think orc-level."
"......Ahem. That bad? Still, isn't it rude not to at least see her face?"
"If you have sex with her, you'll definitely get buried in her flesh."
".........For real?"
"Absolutely."
Damn, that's a bit much... In this fantasy world overflowing with hotties, I've been plowing fresh brides without a care. But if she's that extreme... will my dick even get hard? Even with netori vibes firing on all cylinders, an orc-girl's a hard pass.
But I can't just blow her off either. Making exceptions now that I've revived the right of the first night would be a hassle. If word gets out I'm picky about faces, it'll stir up trouble. Especially with the church already bitching about it.
"I have a clever solution."
"Hm... oh? Let's hear it, then. I'll judge the sharp insight of the kingdom's inspector myself."
"The commoners hardly ever get a look at your face anyway."
"Oh ho? Meaning?"
"So sending a body double won't be an issue. And I happen to know the Knight Captain's tastes run that way."
He does? No wonder his kids all look... ahem. But is this okay? It's basically forcing him to handle it. Telling a married man with kids to fuck another woman...
"I've already spoken with the Knight Captain. No need to worry."
"...Kuhaha! That's my girl. What a reliable talent you are!"
"And I've squared it with the servants too. Today, the Knight Captain will stand in for you as Lord."
"Thanks. Then I'll just spend some quality time with the maids... Hm? What are you doing?"
"You really have no manners with women. Can't you tell just by looking? Or do you want me to say it outright: 'Please shove your cock in my pussy quick'?"
No, you're a total sex addict... Sera locked the door, stripped off her skirt and panties right in front of me, then climbed onto my desk—bent over perfectly for doggy.
Yeah... better her than some ugly fat chick anyway. We click so well. She's cute too. I stroked the head of the sulky Sera glaring at me, then stood and walked behind her.
"Today's schedule was just the right of the first night anyway, right? No plans left now, so reward your hardworking subordinate. I'll be satisfied with this."
Satisfied, my ass. She's already dripping wet from wanting it, spreading herself and acting all nonchalant. Back when I first met her, that stone-faced demeanor turned me off... but now that I know her real self, these cute sides keep showing. Adorable.
"Didn't you have your fun yesterday too?"
"Does eating dinner yesterday mean you skip breakfast today?"
"You're something else."
Sex addict confirmed. Sigh. Still, time with Sera's always right, so looks like another fun session today. Wonder how quick her poker face cracks this time. Can't wait to hear those "nngh" moans.
[I'll be waiting for you every day.]
Ahh, my Lord... that feeling hasn't changed, has it? While Agon was out, I snuck out the letter from you that I now keep in my most precious spot and read it. Warm happiness welled up in my chest. My heart raced just thinking of seeing you.
"My Lord... just a little longer... please wait for me..."
-Bam!
"Rozina!"
But on the last day of the festival, Agon—who'd gone drinking with friends—suddenly stormed home. He was rougher than usual, drunk off his ass. I panicked and hid your letter.
-Creak!
"Rozina! You! You're not... no?!"
"W-what are you talking about..."
"You're not into that lord bastard, are you?!"
I managed to hide the letter without him noticing, but his interrogation made my heart drop. That I like you... How does Agon even know? Did he... read the letter I hid?
"I heard it all from Yohan. That idiot Kristin is head over heels for the lord. You're not like that too, are you? Saying he's so sweet! That he fucks so good! You're not hooked on that bastard's dick like that slut?!"
"Kyaa! Agon! Stop it! Get a grip... it's nothing like that, so stop...!"
Ah, so he heard from Yohan... That's why he suspects me? Thinks I've fallen for you like Kristin did? ...His reasonable doubts left me unable to deny it easily. Taking advantage, Agon threw me on the bed and tried to rip my clothes off. Scary... Lord, save me... It reminded me of our first night, leaving me trembling in fear.
"Nothing like what?! You were a virgin before meeting the lord, but you know sex so well—makes no sense! You must've spread wide for him and learned naturally!"
"Don't be ridiculous! ...You know how much I love you... how could you say that?!"
So... he was harboring that all along. I played dumb since he never mentioned it, but he couldn't ignore it... Me leading in bed when I should've been a virgin? Suspicious as hell...
But this is too much. My love for you was real... I held back out of consideration, and now you're flipping the script? And how dare you badmouth my Lord. Forgot we paid off our debts thanks to him? What the hell are you...
Terrified as I was, my anger boiled over, and for the first time, I fought back against Agon. I couldn't just take it from this increasingly disappointing man.
"Damn it! Think I'm deaf?! A few days ago at drinks, you praised that bastard too. Think I didn't hear?"
"When did I?! I just went along with the mood, never praised him myself! Did you even hear right? Jumping to conclusions on half-heard crap—what's your deal?! What the hell did others tell you?!"
"My Lord? Ha, 'my Lord'? See?! You're totally into him!"
Ah... I tried talking through tears, but reason wouldn't reach the lost Agon. Nitpicking my wording after logic failed? Childish and stupid. What else am I supposed to call Freha's lord and noble—'Lord' is proper...
His rude, stubborn ass finally broke me into tears. Swept up by gossip, raging at me... I felt like an idiot for ever loving this man sincerely.
"Then prove it! If you really love me over that bastard, suck this! Suck my dick like a filthy whore! Then I'll believe you."
"A-are you insane?! Agon?! What the hell are you saying?!"
"Why? Can't do it? Kristin loved sucking the lord's dick, so you did too, right? Why not for me? Your love's all lies?"
-Slap!
"You're insane?!"
"...What?"
"Calling me—who sold her body for you—a whore... Are you right in the head?! Agon...! I didn't go to the Lord for fun. It was for you! Your merchant group! I gave my first time to pay off the debt you made. We needed the money! And yet... how can you insult me like that?! How dare you call me a whore?!"
How could you... I truly loved you, chose that for your sake... But to you, the moment I went to him, I was just a dirty whore?
I'd leaned toward you, Lord, but my feelings for Agon weren't gone... Now, every last one vanished in this instant. Everything about him turned repulsive.
"A-ah... what did I just say..."
"Get out... Get out! Get out of my sight!"
"Wait, Rozina. I was drunk, not in my right mind..."
"Get out! I never want to see your face again!"
Agon finally sobered up, realizing his outburst too late—but it was over. I shoved the apologizing fool out, locked the door, crawled under the covers, and sobbed. Today was the worst day of my life.
But... there's one silver lining. After this, if I say I'm not going on the merchant trip, Agon won't have a word to say about it.
