Chapter Title: Commoner Experience (2)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
“Is this... a dream?”
With unfocused eyes, I asked the question. Leah lifted the corners of her mouth.
“Yes, how else could I be here in your home dressed like this?”
Leah placed a hand on her chest and gave a benevolent smile.
“But...”
I blankly looked up at the princess.
The First Imperial Princess of the Empire and one of the commanders.
And yet here she was, wearing a maid outfit that clung to her figure, offering me her lap as a pillow.
It should have been a spacious Victorian-style dress.
But it hugged her like a dress, letting me feel the princess’s voluptuous flesh in full.
“Still, it feels too vivid...”
Knowing her inherently authoritative personality, I barely managed to lift my head.
Then, I forced myself to look at the clock hanging on the wall.
“Hmm—”
At that, Leah lightly waved the wand she had hidden behind her back.
The mana gathered at the wand’s tip stretched toward the clock.
With half-open eyes, I barely made out the hands of the clock.
The current time was 10 PM.
“Huh?”
But for some reason.
The clock hands were moving backward.
From exactly 10 o’clock to 9:59.
Leah looked down at me, who was lost in a daze, with a seductive smile.
“In dreams, clocks run backward.”
“I see...”
Panting heavily, I laid my head back on the princess’s smooth thigh.
And gazed at the ceiling.
The alcohol hadn’t fully worn off yet—the lantern light seemed to dance side to side.
But soon, I stopped caring about the lantern.
The ceiling was blocked by the princess’s ample bosom covered in the maid outfit.
Above that curve, Leah’s blue eyes came into view.
Like a divine being, she gazed down at me mercifully and asked.
“So, Veil. Is there anything you want to do right now?”
To Leah’s question, I looked up at her with half-lidded eyes.
A figure so beautiful it blocked the ceiling.
And the thigh caressing my face, along with the smooth stockings.
“You can do it. Anything that comes to mind right now.”
Like a proper maid, the princess gave me a seductive look that said she’d do anything for me.
“Right now, I’m your maid.”
She rubbed my cheek with her soft fingers.
Like a mother tending to her child.
“Haa...”
The princess’s eyes sparkled like a blue sea.
That sea overflowed with the wisdom and knowledge she had accumulated to survive as the Empire’s eldest daughter.
However, thick dark circles sat under her eyes.
The fatigue and pressure she had endured to survive as the Empire’s eldest daughter.
The damage from that pressure was still plainly visible.
“Your Highness...”
“Yes, speak freely.”
Leah looked down approvingly at my half-closed eyes.
Soon, the man drunk on her would surrender to pleasure.
But.
Her expectation missed the mark spectacularly.
“What do you want to do, Your Highness?”
“Huh...?”
She never showed it, but she knew her body was alluring.
Young men, and even the old fogies in the noble council, had all swallowed hard deeply.
But I asked a question completely contrary to her intentions.
“Look at those dark circles under your eyes. How can you look this exhausted even in a dream?”
I chuckled.
Then, I slowly brushed aside the princess’s cascading golden hair with my hand.
“It’s even more pitiful with the maid outfit.”
Leah looked down at the man with a stunned expression.
Eyes that said even in this situation, you’re worrying about me.
“At the ball, and when you were about to leave for the countryside alone after parting from your father...”
I caressed Leah’s soft cheek with my palm.
Maybe because it was a dream, courage welled up.
“You seem to carry too heavy a burden in your heart.”
Leah’s eyes trembled faintly at my touch enveloping her face.
“Since it’s a dream, I’ll speak freely.”
Having regressed five years, I was effectively 25.
And at that time, Leah was 24.
Technically, that made me the older one.
I could offer some advice.
“Having lived a long time, I’ve come to realize.”
On the northern front, enduring viciously in that freezing place for advancement.
Until returning to the palace after her merits were recognized, only to face purge.
“People are happiest when they live doing what they want.”
I didn’t know it before, but now that I was close to Leah, I understood.
That the princess’s life had been similar to mine.
“With His Majesty revived, the Empire will know peace.”
How much effort she must have put into checking the Crown Prince and strolling among the people.
“So now, live for yourself.”
As someone who had lived two lives, I dared to advise her.
“This is what I wanted to say to you in this dream, Leah.”
With half-lidded eyes, I smiled brightly.
And gently rubbed the princess’s dark circles.
“...”
My touch alone couldn’t erase the shadows under her eyes.
But...
Leah’s lips had curled up before I knew it.
“Veil Mikhail. You’re truly a cunning one.”
The princess grabbed my hand.
“I told you to do as you wish, yet here you are commanding me.”
Then, slowly lowering it, she spoke with mature eyes.
“Maybe you’re better suited to lead the Empire than I am.”
The princess let out a deep breath.
“What I desire...”
Leah reflected on her harsh and grueling life.
Raised by her mother Rozanna, burning with vengeance, until she stood alone.
She had never once felt joy as a woman.
In her early-matured eyes, few men had caught her fancy.
But...
“Now I think I know.”
The man she now held in her arms.
She thought this one was different.
“Mikhail, what I need is reliable talent.”
Leah brushed her bangs aside.
“A man who listens intently to my words and ponders them like his own affairs.”
The princess’s blue eyes began drawing closer.
The closer they got, the deeper the shadow cast over my face.
“And it’d be even better if he’s obedient enough to offer his lips if I want.”
The blue sea in her eyes engulfed me.
Light danced on the water’s surface.
“L-Leah...?”
I asked back, but the princess paid no mind.
She simply drew even closer.
“And I think I’ve found him now.”
Leah gently grasped my chin.
Then, her warm breath tickled the tip of my nose.
“A man who understands my heart.”
The princess’s eyes half-closed.
Her gaze curved seductively like a crescent moon.
“Thank you. Thanks to you, I’ve found my courage.”
“W-Wait. Is this really a dream? It’s too vivid...”
When I asked in a trembling voice, Leah replied coldly.
“Shut up. You permitted it.”
“Permitted what?!”
Leah smirked.
Like a lioness finally seizing her prey.
“To do as I please.”
The princess laid me down like a child.
Then, she reinforced her body with magic and pinned my shoulders firmly.
“As you said, I’ll set aside the burden of being the Empire’s eldest daughter for a bit. Right now, I’m a maid—a commoner like you.”
Panting, the princess murmured.
“So there’s no need to worry about appearances.”
The princess’s lips parted.
Between her sharp teeth, a white thread stretched long.
“Pucker up, Mikhail.”
The lioness pounced on the fox.
Leah ravished my lips with seductive eyes.
Her moist, soft lips meshed with mine.
She exhaled deeply, breathing her essence into me.
“Haa...”
Then, interlocking one hand with mine, she kissed me deeply and stickily.
“...!”
The sensation of my first kiss in this life.
Even drunk on liquor, it registered clearly.
Leah’s sensual tongue softly wrapped around mine.
And twined around it this way and that, savoring it.
“Delicious...”
The more the princess tasted her first kiss, the deeper she sank into greater pleasure.
She pressed her body against mine continuously, our chests touching.
“...”
Leah’s pressed bosom burned like fire.
“You’re mine, Mikhail...”
A deep kiss wasn’t enough to satisfy Leah.
Wanting even closer contact, she placed a hand on my back.
Grasping my wingbones like handles, she held tight and wouldn’t let go.
In that position, she embraced me, continuously pouring her breath and saliva into my mouth.
Thanks to that, I felt the voluptuous sensation from the princess’s meshed body.
Warm and enveloping, like being held in a mother’s arms.
That feeling was an ecstasy I’d never known in my life.
“Hua...”
Soon, the princess’s eyes half-lidded like mine.
Lost in pleasure, she stuck out her tongue and finally released my lips.
“Haa...”
Exhausted, I laid my body back on her thigh.
However, perhaps from the intense kiss, her maid outfit was damp.
White threads stretched long from our lips.
Leah smiled brightly, showing an erotic expression she’d never revealed before.
“Delicious, Mikhail.”
Until now, only serious eyes focused on state affairs.
Only the face of a leader commanding troops.
For that woman to wipe thick saliva like love juices with such a lewd expression...
Even my heart, stopped in my previous life, began to pound.
“I want to eat more.”
The intense kiss lasting several minutes wasn’t enough for Leah.
Rather, as if awakening to unknown instincts, her blue eyes flashed even brighter.
“That’s not like you, Your Highness.”
Hearing me, Leah grabbed my arm again.
This time, she climbed on top and covered me.
“Not Your Highness—I’m a maid right now.”
Was it because of the commoner experience?
Today, she intended to do as she pleased.
“...”
I couldn’t help but chuckle.
Yes, from the moment she kissed me first.
I realized the princess before me wasn’t reality, but illusion.
“Fine, do as you wish.”
I reached out.
This time, I gripped the face of the woman lost in pleasure.
“Hup...”
I meshed lips with the lioness astride me.
The maid outfit stretched taut.
The skirt hem tore slightly, revealing a glimpse of black lace garter straps.
“Keep going.”
But the maid didn’t care.
Amid the intense kiss, fearing our lips might part, she pressed her body even closer.
Her ample thighs clamped my legs.
Like fixing prey firmly before tearing into it.
With her groin pinned to my thigh, Leah kissed me again.
“Haa...”
In the end, the faint fig scent from the princess’s mouth began emanating from my lips too.
Only then, inhaling that scent, did Leah lift her head, seemingly satisfied.
Leah collapsed atop my torso.
Her eyes, steeped in pleasure, seemed to release the pent-up stress of state affairs.
“To dare kiss me directly. How impudent...”
I patted the back of the woman covering my body.
In that position, I asked the Empire’s First Imperial Princess—no, the maid.
“Didn’t you kiss me first?”
Only then did the maid snap out of her pleasure haze and glance at me.
Unlike during her first kiss, her eyes held a hint of shyness.
“You always slip away slyly even when I give you hints, so what choice did I have?”
The princess buried her nose in my chest.
Then, she moved to my neck and lightly bit it.
“I permitted it because it’s a dream.”
Chuckling, I looked down at the top of the princess’s head.
The exhausted princess buried her nose in my collarbone.
And slowly closed her eyes.
“Yes... a dream...”
I stroked the head of the sleeping Leah.
And let out a deep breath.
“Haa...”
Fatigue poured over me.
Just from kissing, my whole body was drenched in sweat.
‘A dream of kissing the princess.’
I covered my eyes with the back of my hand too.
Afterward, embracing the beautiful woman warmly enveloping my body, I fell asleep.
‘Is there anything so thrilling yet alluring?’
――――――
A refreshing birdsong.
Hearing it, I rose from the sofa.
“Damn... my head...”
My whole body felt drained of energy, like my qi had been sucked out.
One of the sofa legs was broken from whatever happened last night.
Thanks to that, that side had sunk nicely.
However, my body felt light, as if waste had been purged.
Even the Grand Aura in my heart felt more refined, like after training.
“Why the hell did I have that dream...”
With a hollow expression, I slumped back against the sofa cushion.
Then, staring blankly at the clock, I muttered.
A few days ago, a dream of being kissed by Irina.
Yesterday, a dream of being ravished by Leah in a maid outfit.
“Well, at twenty, it’s prime age for such dreams...”
I shook my head alone.
“Still, lusting after Her Highness... that’s too presumptuous a dream.”
Even if the Leah in the dream pounced first, permitting it was a grave offense.
Thinking that, I stiffly moved my sore neck.
“Ugh...!”
But at that moment.
A stinging pain came from my left neck.
“What...”
Touching my neck, I felt bite marks from someone.
Frowning at the bumpy sensation.
“A bug bite? No, it’s too...”
I carefully turned my head.
And my gaze froze on the kitchen for a moment.
Clatter―――.
Dishwashing sounds from the kitchen.
And the back of the culprit making them entered my sight.
“No way...”
At that instant, my eyes twitched.
Clearly, the one washing dishes in my kitchen was the maid from the dream.
Through the torn maid skirt, seductive black lace stockings peeked out.
Unaware of my gaze, she fiddled with her garter belt with her fingers.
“...”
Then, sensing my stare, Leah turned her head.
“You’re awake?”
Her radiant blonde hair swung as she turned.
Looking at me, she gave a seductive smile with her blue eyes.
“I made breakfast, so eat before you go.”
The dark circles were gone from the princess’s eyes.
She looked much lighter too.
As if last night’s events had invigorated her instead.
“It wasn’t a dream...?”
My eyes twitched again.
Only then did I truly register the torn maid outfit and the bite mark on my neck.
‘To think it’s this much just from a kiss.’
