Because of the Curse
It was because of the curse. “Dimaria, please… do something…♡” Sia stared up at her with the eyes of an abandoned puppy. Dimaria swallowed the saliva that had nearly spilled from her lips. She had always known Sia was strikingly beautiful, but now, soaked in raw lust, the sight carried an entirely different flavor.
“It keeps tingling down here… ugh―♡” Sia’s hand was between her legs, yet her fingers only flailed helplessly, as though searching for something to grasp. To Dimaria’s eyes, it looked exactly like the way a man would reach for his own cock. No matter what Sia did, she was always clumsier than Lua. Lua might not have known much about the male body, but she had mastered male masturbation through pure instinct. Sia, however, seemed completely unable to figure out how to pleasure a woman’s flesh.
“The curse… it’s because of the cuuurse―♡” The previous Grand Duke had tasked Dimaria with two things. Lua’s curse came first. Sia’s was second. Truthfully, the old man probably wouldn’t have cared if Sia lived or died. Still, Dimaria carried the compassion any decent human being should possess. She had paid attention to Sia’s condition until now and intended to keep doing so. But the current situation was different.
“Lord Sia.”
“Mmm?♡”
“What you’re feeling right now is not the curse.”
“……Huh?” Sia’s expression chilled in an instant.
“You simply appear to be… a little aroused. I sense none of the curse’s corrupt energy.”
“……”
“See for yourself. If you calm down even slightly, you can control it, can’t you?”
“Th-that’s all it is?”
“It must have felt strange because it’s your first time experiencing it.”
Sia, who had been terrified she was being swallowed by the curse, should have felt relief at the physician’s diagnosis. Instead, a strange disappointment bloomed inside her. So I don’t need anyone’s help to relieve my sexual urges? No, that should be a good thing… so why does it feel so unsatisfying?
“I… see… But then what about Lua? Isn’t Lua’s condition caused by the curse either?”
Watching the troubled look on Sia’s face, Dimaria decided she had to share the results of the Grand Duke’s examination. She would report it separately to Lua, but Sia needed to know as well.
“This is still only at the hypothesis stage, so it’s difficult to speak with certainty. What is clear, however, is that for the time being……”
“For the time being……?”
Sia’s eyes sparkled with innocent curiosity. The fate awaiting this pitiful little creature seemed far too cruel. Dimaria forced the next words out with difficulty.
“You will need to relieve His Highness’s… ahem… needs. Every time they arise. Just as you did earlier.”
“……”
The Grand Duke, too embarrassed to face Dimaria again, had requested a written report. Concentration had been nearly impossible, so she hadn’t read it properly, but the conclusion was clear.
So from now on I have to keep doing those things with my brother…
If even the attending physician could offer no other solution, there truly was no alternative. Still, to continue this twisted relationship…
But brother is so cute. Brother is beautiful. Brother makes me so unbearably horny. I want to get another footjob from brother. I want to shove it into brother’s mouth again and again—
“Your Highness.”
“Yes? Ah.”
At the administrator’s voice, Lua snapped back to attention. It seemed the administrator had been delivering a report while the Grand Duke’s mind wandered.
“I’m sorry. What were you saying?”
“It’s nothing. I only thought you might need some rest. You look quite exhausted.”
The administrator was worried. The Grand Duke’s eyes were unfocused, her cheeks flushed with what looked like fever.
“But there’s still work—”
“All of it is work I can handle.”
Lua pressed her lips together and fell into thought. Rest was indeed necessary. But once she allowed herself to slack, it would only become easier to do it again and again. She refused to become lazy.
“Your Highness. I have mentioned this before.”
When the administrator spoke again, Lua lifted her head.
“We exist to serve you. We may not meet your standards, but we have sharpened ourselves in our own way for Your Highness’s sake. You do not need to carry everything alone.”
“……”
“If your health truly fails, that will be the greater problem.”
Maybe if my health fails, this sexual appetite will calm down a little. Right now I’m too healthy, and that’s the problem. Lua had originally been meant to die from the curse. She had stolen everything from her brother to survive and had taken the seat of Grand Duke. Therefore, if only to ensure her brother’s sacrifice was not in vain, she had to pour every ounce of her strength into fulfilling the duties of a Grand Duke.
…Ah, just thinking about brother is making me horny again.
Lua felt her cock beginning to rise once more. She didn’t want to rest, but becoming visibly erect in front of the administrator would be far worse.
“I understand. I’ll take a short break, so please handle these for me.”
“As you wish.”
The administrator smiled with relief, gathered the documents Lua had been holding, and left the office.
“Haa……”
The moment the door closed, Lua slumped back against her chair. The monstrous thing immediately lifted the hem of her skirt.
One release wasn’t enough…
After coming hard once, her lust would usually subside enough for her to maintain reason for a while. But it never fully disappeared. Even so, she didn’t want to ask her brother again. No matter how his body had changed, his mind was still that of a man. Forcing him to continue these acts was no different from crushing his sense of self.
Maybe she really should ask Dimaria instead.
Knock, knock.
“……!”
At the sound of knocking, Lua hurriedly hid her erect cock beneath the desk.
“Your Highness. The maid Angelica says she has something to report.”
“……Let her in.”
Angelica was Sia’s personal maid. Originally, not a single servant had been assigned to Sia. No one had wanted to attend a child who had been a cursed burden since the previous Grand Duke’s time. Even their father had shown no interest in a child he had already discarded. It was Angelica who had volunteered.
Of course, as the Grand Duke’s maid, she could not spend all day caring for Sia.
“Your Highness. Thank you for granting me this time—”
“This is about my brother, isn’t it?”
Angelica had tried to greet her properly upon entering the office, but Lua pushed the conversation forward. The throbbing monstrosity between her legs left no room for pleasantries.
“……Yes. There were wounds on Lord Sia’s body. You probably saw them earlier in front of the physician.”
“……”
I did that. The words refused to leave her mouth.
“That person… that person is clearly a member of House Tanalif. No one should be allowed to lay a hand on him, yet someone dared to do such a thing. To prevent this from happening again, you must assign him a proper escort. I beg you to treat him with the respect he deserves.”
“……”
Angelica’s words were entirely reasonable. Sia should have been given more servants. But between shame, guilt, and the lingering arousal from what she had done with her brother, Lua could not speak.
Angelica interpreted that silence as the heartless indifference of the Iron-Blooded Grand Duke.
“He is… he is Your Highness’s older brother. How can you be so cruel?”
Her voice and fingers trembled with fear. Even so, Angelica continued speaking words that could cost her life right in front of the Grand Duke.
“The reason Your Highness sits on the throne today is because of his sacrifice. A sacrifice is not something that should be taken for granted. There is no such thing as a worthless life that exists only to die for others. Why do all of you……!”
Overcome with emotion, Angelica could not finish. Lua found her sincerity touching, but a Grand Duke could not afford to judge by emotion.
“……The treatment my brother receives is simply what the previous Grand Duke established. You said nothing then, yet you come to me now—”
Even if it hurt, the Grand Duke had to respond coldly.
“Am I to understand that I seem more manageable than my father?”
“Eep……!”
The sharp crimson gaze of the Grand Duke sent a jolt of terror through Angelica’s body. Yet she refused to back down.
“Then and now, how could I possibly harbor such feelings toward Your Highness? It is only that if we remain silent forever… Lord Sia will……”
“I understand your feelings.”
“Eh……?”
“I also do not believe the treatment my brother currently receives is appropriate.”
Having finally managed to subdue her erection through the conversation with Angelica, Lua rose from her seat. What Angelica said stemmed from a misunderstanding, but Lua had never simply stood by regarding Sia’s treatment. If not for Lua, Sia would have been locked away in a separate palace long ago. The vassals from her father’s time had demanded it, and even a Grand Duke could not completely ignore their opinions. The mere existence of such a cursed being could tarnish the family’s reputation. The head of a house had to place the family’s honor above all else.
“I was already considering a solution for that very issue.”
“Is… is that true?”
“I will need to discuss it with my brother, so please tell him I will visit shortly.”
“Ah, yes! Thank you! Your Highness!”
Yes. This is truly something I am doing for my brother. I have no other intentions—well, I do, but that is not the main purpose.
In Sia’s room, Lua and Sia knelt facing each other. Lua had knelt first out of guilt, and Sia had hurriedly copied the posture. Sia’s skirt rode up slightly, revealing soft, squished thigh flesh.
How can every single movement of his body be so arousing?
It was wrong to feel this way toward her brother. A normal person did not feel sexual desire toward every inch of their sibling’s flesh. It was because of the curse. This was definitely because of the curse. It was the curse making her cock angry, so what could she do about how fucking horny her brother made her, how she wanted to milk him dry with her cunt—
Lua decided to state her purpose before she lost her mind.
“Brother.”
“Yes, Lua.”
“Let’s have sex.”
“……What? No, what did you just say?”
