Chapter 83: The Prelude to the Great War
“Wh-What…?”
Eusebia’s tears stopped abruptly. She seemed to doubt her own ears.
It would have been stranger if she wasn't flustered, considering that I, who had always been as polite as a hero from a knight novel, was now demanding she strip like some back-alley thug.
In contrast, I remained calm. I gazed at her steadily, my hands clasped over my thigh, as if I had no ulterior motives.
“I’m telling you to strip.”
Realizing she had heard me correctly, Eusebia’s face filled with bewilderment.
“Wh-Why…?”
“One can never be too sure. You might have a weapon hidden in those clothes to threaten me with.”
“There’s no way I’d do that…!”
Eusebia retorted in a desperate voice. I sank deeper into the back of my chair, making myself more comfortable, and said calmly.
“The Baron, too, surely never expected his own daughter to poison his teacup.”
“…!”
Eusebia looked shocked, as if she never expected to hear such words from me. Her vacant gaze trembled as she stared at me.
Having assassinated her own father to be with me, she must have hoped for comfort, but I did the exact opposite, pushing her to the very edge of a cliff.
Because what I needed wasn't a wife, but a slave who would even feign death at my command.
This moment, when she had alienated even her own kin by murdering her father, was the perfect opportunity to make her my slave.
‘Adeleade is a bit of a concern, though…’
Is this what they call the great love of a mother? Even though her daughter had assassinated her husband, her love for her seemed unchanged.
It was different from what I'd expected, but that kind of love could also be used, so it wasn't a bad thing.
“You can’t even show your naked body to the man who will be your husband? It seems your words about loving me enough to die if I asked were a lie. And yet you ask me to trust you… Are you really hiding something, Eusebia?”
“No! That’s not true! I killed my father with my own hands to marry you…! You can’t do this to me…!”
“Then prove it.”
I instructed her again, calmly. Perhaps she sensed my sincerity from my unflinching demeanor. Not knowing what to do, she slowly grabbed her clothes.
But she didn't go any further. She gripped them so tightly they wrinkled, but she couldn't bring herself to take them off.
“The woman who assassinated her own father for love is refusing to show the naked body that her love wants to see? And you still ask me to trust you? I can’t help but doubt your true intentions.”
I clicked my tongue and stood up. Then, one step. Another step. I walked slowly toward the door.
To make Eusebia my slave, I had to make her recognize the reality of her situation.
Assassinating her father meant abandoning everything to gain only love. If she lost me as well, she would have nothing left.
Nothing at all.
Just as I placed my hand on the doorknob.
“I-I’ll take them off! So, so please don’t leave…! Don’t abandon me…!”
I didn’t return to my chair, but faced Eusebia again from the doorway. My position showed that if she didn’t keep her word, I could leave the room at once.
But her resistance was still firm. She only clutched the hem of her clothes and bit her lip, unable to undress.
“Hah. A wife who lies constantly even before we’re married? And yet you ask me to trust you? Do you truly love me at all?”
I turned my back, not hiding my disappointed expression. This time, I gave her no time to think and pulled the doorknob.
Creeak.
The door opened slightly, revealing the hallway. It was then that Eusebia cried out desperately, as if she would die if the door opened all the way.
“I-I’ll take them off…! Right now…!”
This time, it wasn’t just words. From behind me, I heard the sound of clothes brushing against skin.
I slowly turned around. The first thing I saw was the pile of clothes at the feet of Eusebia, who was standing on the bed.
Above them were fair, smooth legs that looked as if they were coated in fine powder. Her thighs were moderately fleshy, and her well-developed pelvis, combined with her slender waist, exuded femininity.
Eusebia twisted her body and crossed her legs to hide her private parts. She covered her breasts with her arms. She didn’t seem to know that this state of being half-hidden was more alluring than complete nudity.
Thud. Thud.
I slowly approached her. She flinched with every footstep.
When our eyes accidentally met, she started and quickly lowered her head. A flush had spread all the way to her nape. As I continued to stare in silence, Eusebia squirmed.
“See? You can do it.”
“Y-You won’t leave me now, will you…?”
Eusebia cautiously raised her head. Her desperate eyes were pleading.
When I gave her a gentle smile, she smiled back in relief. But it was too soon for her to rejoice.
“There’s still something left to check.”
I stared pointedly at Eusebia’s breasts and private parts, making it impossible for her to misunderstand what I wanted. Her eyes trembled minutely.
“N-No… We’re not even married…”
“But how can I trust you, not knowing what you might be hiding in those large, full breasts and hips? Since it has come to this, return to your original state and prove your innocence.”
Eusebia had already crossed a line. Crossing the next one would be easier.
“I-I shouldn’t…”
While saying she shouldn’t, Eusebia began to remove her underwear.
She turned her body sideways, trying to hide her private parts, but this only accentuated the elegant curves of her body, making her look as if she were trying to seduce me.
My appetite was whetted. My cock was already at its maximum size, bulging against the front of my pants. Even if I pounced on her now, she wouldn’t resist. In fact, she would probably welcome it as if she’d been waiting.
‘I can’t do that.’
If I did, she would just become an ordinary wife. Not a slave who lived and died by my every word.
I suppressed my desire.
Meanwhile, Eusebia, who had been squirming under my blatant gaze, spoke.
“I-Is this enough…?”
“Stand up straight so I can check properly.”
I gave the order in a deliberately stern voice. It was an attempt to unconsciously imprint a hierarchical relationship. Already pushed to her limit, she faithfully followed my words, unaware that our roles had been reversed.
Eusebia turned to face me, covering her breasts and private parts with her arms and hands.
But her full breasts couldn’t be contained by her arms alone, and the dark patch of her private parts was clearly visible. Of course, I couldn’t be satisfied with just that.
“Your hands. Move them.”
“Ah…”
Eusebia stood at attention.
“Hmm…”
Every time my blatant gaze landed on her, she flinched and trembled. Her face looked like she was about to die of shame.
But why did I feel a dampness from her crotch? As I stared openly at that spot, Eusebia subtly crossed her legs.
She did it to hide her private parts, but thanks to that, her inner thighs were in plain view. The supple skin there was glistening. It was definitely not sweat.
‘She gets turned on in a situation like this?’
It was a glimpse into her latent sexual preferences. It seemed things would proceed more easily. I spoke with a face of pure ignorance.
“Something is glistening between your legs. Are you perhaps hiding something there?”
She didn’t seem to realize she was leaking vaginal fluid. Seeing her glistening thighs, she started and spun around. Her two moon-like buttocks swayed appetizingly.
“No! This is…!”
“This is?”
Even though she knew the answer, she couldn’t say it. I was displeased by that. A slave should not hide any part of herself from her master.
“Eusebia. Stand straight and show me. Show me what you’re hiding between your legs.”
“Hnngh…!”
Not knowing what to do, Eusebia faced forward when I stood up from my chair again. Then, she squeezed her eyes shut and spread her legs into an A-shape.
Her thick labia majora were pressed tightly together. Vaginal fluid glistened in the seam. The fluid that had trickled out from there made her thighs shine.
Since I was already up, I moved closer. I was close enough to touch her vagina if I reached out.
Seeing me so close, Eusebia unconsciously thrust her pelvis forward. A gush of fluid flowed from between her pressed labia.
“Hahh…”
She squirmed, not knowing what to do. I paid her no mind and continued my instructions.
“I can’t see well. Push your hips forward.”
“L-Like this…?”
The pose was as if she were thrusting her vagina into my face, asking me to get a better look.
Her human dignity was on the verge of complete collapse. The fact that she now obeyed my words without resistance proved it.
“Hmm. It looks like there’s something there. Eusebia. Try spreading it open.”
Not satisfied, I dragged her down to the very bottom. It was to ensure she could never recover her dignity.
“S-Spread it? What…?”
“You know what.”
Startled, Eusebia jerked her head up to stare at me. With a still-calm face, I pointed at her vagina.
Gulp.
Her throat bobbed. She hesitated for a long time, but I waited patiently.
In the end, she turned her head away from me and used her own hands to spread her vagina open.
The inner flesh of her spread-open vagina was a light pink, as if to prove it had never been touched by another. However, it was so thoroughly soaked with fluid that it was hard to be certain.
Her thick labia majora and taut labia minora were pristine. From the barely visible opening, fluid continuously flowed out.
“I-Is this enough now…?”
To think she was spreading her own vagina wide open with her hands while not knowing what to do with her shame. Moreover, even as she exposed her vulva, she seemed to be feeling pleasure, as fluid constantly trickled from the cleft.
I bent down and brought my face right in front of it. Startled, Eusebia tried to pull her hips back.
“Eusebia. Stay still. I’m inspecting it right now, am I not?”
I looked up at her with a stern face.
“B-But you’re too close…?”
“The truth is, you’re hiding something in your vaginal opening, aren’t you? That’s why you’re pulling away.”
“No…!”
“Then stand properly again.”
After a long hesitation, Eusebia thrust her vagina at my face again with a look of resignation. She covered her face with both hands, continuously muttering the word “vagina” under her breath.
I moved even closer than before and watched her vaginal opening quiver. Then, I let out a soft, hot breath.
“Haaahk…!”
Eusebia’s pelvis bucked as she spurted fluid from her vagina. Her convulsing legs told me she had reached a light orgasm. She truly had a sensitive, hot body.
Her face, now uncovered, was deeply flushed, and her eyes shimmered with heat. She was in a state where she would accept my cock if I thrust it into her right now.
But I chose to back away. I needed to make her even more desperate, so she would do anything I said.
“It seems there’s nothing dangerous for now.”
As I stepped back, Eusebia’s excitement subsided, and she belatedly recognized her own disgraceful behavior. She covered her face again and retreated.
“O-Of course…! Why would I do anything to harm you, Sir Knight…? You’re the only one I can trust now. So, please, don’t leave me alone. Please…”
I shook my head.
“One never knows the future. You might suddenly change your mind and try to kill me.”
“What more can I do to reassure you, Sir Knight? Huh? Please tell me. Should I tear out my heart to show you?”
Her eyes were a complex mix of confusion, arousal, and humiliation. She didn’t seem to know what she was even saying.
“I’ll have to run a test. To see if you can obey me like this even when your feelings are hurt.”
Sitting in the chair, I beckoned to her. With a brightened face, Eusebia scrambled off the bed and, without even putting on her shoes, practically fell against my legs.
“H-How…?”
When I stroked her head, she rubbed her cheek against my leg and purred like a cat. Feeling the fine strands of her hair slip through my fingers, I spoke.
“First, would you pull down my pants? Ah, you can’t use your hands.”
I guided Eusebia’s head toward my crotch. Puzzled by the instruction not to use her hands, Eusebia soon used her mouth.
Fortunately, I had tied the drawstring of my pants in a bow, so it came undone easily when she bit the end and pulled.
Was it beginner’s luck? She bit down on both my pants and underwear and pulled them down together. Of course, that was only possible because I appropriately lifted my hips.
“I-I did it…!”
A shadow fell over Eusebia’s face as she looked up, panting as if it had been quite difficult. It was a shadow that covered her entire face.
Her face, which reflexively looked up to identify the source of the shadow, filled with shock and horror.
