Chapter 138: In the Changing Room (3)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
“I’ll just stay like this for a bit….”
I buried my face in her chest.
The hot, voluptuous flesh pressing in from both sides made it hard to breathe.
“Haa….”
A lewd sweat scent mixed with a sweet fruity aroma.
Her intoxicating body odor made my mind hazy.
‘Warm….’
I barely lifted my gaze to look up at Irina.
I figured she must be wearing an extremely troubled expression too.
But….
“…!”
Irina’s face was nothing like I’d feared.
A strange look of thrill and delight at her breasts being ravished.
Her half-lidded eyes trembled at the corners of her mouth as she smiled.
‘You loved it anyway when I kissed your left breast.’
As if taunting me in that very tone.
Yeah.
Irina definitely remembered me kissing her left breast.
And she’d realized it.
The strength of her own body.
“Huu….”
I was on the verge of getting drunk on her sweat and breast scent.
I barely exhaled to keep from drowning in pleasure.
“It’s too hot….”
But she caught on to my hint and whispered seductively.
Then, as if really trying to intoxicate me with her scent, she hugged me tight while pressing her chest against me.
“…!”
Her flesh and body heat enveloping my whole body.
It felt just as warm as being held in my mother’s arms from my orphanage days, a warmth I’d forgotten.
That made me suddenly recall it.
Irina coming to me on the day of the purge, right before I died, and holding me.
‘It was like this back then too….’
She’d given me her lap as a pillow and cried with me.
Hot teardrops had fallen on my face, wetting it.
Of course, now it was sticky sweat drops soaking me.
“…”
Was it because those memories overlapped?
I stopped rejecting her feelings.
I reached out with both hands and quietly wrapped them around her back.
Then….
“…!”
Irina, who’d been pressing down on me with her breasts while gazing at me with sultry eyes.
She grabbed my arms that had been stroking her.
“You can get more comfortable.”
And shoved them into her tight T-shirt.
“Do whatever you want….”
My fingers slipped into her sweat-slicked skin.
My nails touched her drenched bra.
I slid my fingers inside and toyed with her soft flesh.
“Haa….”
Irina welcomed my touch with joy.
Her eyes opened to pleasure, she pressed her breasts even harder against me in response.
But at that moment.
――――――!!
Her excessive force popped open the closet door.
“Kuht…!”
We tumbled out into the open as a result.
“Are you okay?”
I hit the floor first, and the princess landed on top of me.
She barely answered with her face buried in my chest.
“Yeah, you…?”
Before I could reply to Irina, I hurriedly scanned the changing room.
There had been two female attendants just moments ago, after all.
“…”
Luckily, they seemed to have gone downstairs to clean.
I could hear the swish of mops from the women on the first floor below.
“I’m fine too.”
It felt like we’d only been trapped in the closet for a very short time….
But they’d already been gone for a while.
“Good thing.”
Irina sighed deeply with her cheek against my chest.
Then, realizing how close we were, she slowly lifted her face.
“…”
I silently stared at her straddling me.
She stared right back at me….
And in this awkward situation, she just giggled softly.
“Can you move again now?”
“Yeah, I thought I was gonna suffocate in there, thanks to you.”
I chuckled and stroked her hair.
I gently brushed her sweat-tangled side locks behind her ear.
“Sorry….”
Snapped out of it by the fall from the closet, Irina shyly covered her lips with her fingers.
That look was pure and beautiful, just like the old her.
“No, the space was too tight. It couldn’t be helped.”
Irina lifted her plump, moist thighs.
Finally, my crotch could pull away from her.
“Huu….”
My whole body was soaked in sweat.
Especially the spot on my pants where she’d been sitting—a lewd imprint of her thigh remained in sweat stains.
Irina fumbled with her shorts, which had burst open from her abdominal movements.
“Hnght….”
Her pitiful moans leaking out every time she tried to pull them up were dizzying.
For her sake, I looked around for other clothes nearby.
‘Lucky.’
Just then, I spotted a blouse and skirt left on a chair by an attendant.
Since the store was empty anyway, they must have left them casually.
“Wear these.”
I grabbed them without hesitation and handed them to her.
“Is it okay to wear someone else’s clothes and leave…?”
The empire’s Second Imperial Princess hesitated for a moment.
Then, as if struck by a good idea, she pulled a brooch from her soiled dress.
“I’ll borrow these for a bit, miss.”
Irina gently placed what was clearly worth a month’s wages for an attendant on the bench.
As if paying for them.
“…”
I admired her proudly.
The princess who cherished even a commoner’s possession.
“Could you turn around for a sec?”
Irina shyly clutched the blouse with both hands and asked.
The way she mumbled while avoiding my gaze felt oddly erotic.
“Sure.”
Like obeying the princess’s command, I headed to the changing room entrance.
And waited in the hallway, keeping watch for anyone coming.
“…”
How long did I wait?
Soon, someone lightly tapped my shoulder.
“Done, Veil. Did I keep you waiting long?”
I turned at Irina’s call.
Thinking I could finally look at her properly now.
But….
“…!”
My expectations were completely off.
“Your Highness, the clothes….”
The attendant’s outfit happened to be a bit small for Irina.
And the blouse fabric was way too thin.
“Yeah, it’s a little see-through….”
The tight blouse squeezed her chest, making the cheer uniform underneath fully visible.
The skirt couldn’t handle her wide hips either, stretching taut and highlighting her panty lines.
‘This defeats the purpose of changing…!’
The cheer uniform had been sexy on its own.
But wearing it under a neat blouse….
It was obscene, like she’d deliberately worn a sexy outfit underneath for some erotic event.
Pure and innocent on the outside, but corrupted like a succubus within.
“L-let’s just go….”
I took a deep breath to steady myself.
“We need to leave before the attendants come back.”
I cleared my throat and turned away.
Focusing solely on getting out to forget her alluring figure somehow.
“Got it.”
I draped my uniform jacket over the princess’s shoulders.
Then, we stepped into the hallway and headed for the store’s back door.
‘No one around, good.’
The quiet night street.
Maybe because it was right after the festival, the road was pretty littered.
――――.
Glass crunching underfoot with every step.
Rustling paper echoing around.
We moved very cautiously, like thieves.
“Wait here a sec.”
I hid Irina like a precious treasure behind a building.
And skillfully scanned the surroundings from the shadows.
“…”
She gazed up at my serious eyes from within my jacket.
Then, covering her lips with my sleeve, she giggled.
“This isn’t the time to laugh.”
I scolded her softly, like soothing a child.
The princess wiped a sweat drop from my face with her finger and said.
“No-. I just think we look funny right now.”
Funny? I tilted my head.
Then her next words made my eyes flash.
“It’s like we’re eloping-.”
Eloping.
Yeah, there’d been a similar scene in my past life too.
‘Probably the day of the purge, in Irina’s palace.’
But whether then or now, getting caught would be disastrous.
Sticking together like this would just summon the emperor again.
‘Still…. It’s not as terrifying as back then.’
That day had been a desperate flight for survival….
Now it was just a foolish escapade to hide our rendezvous.
I shook the nightmare days that had become mere memories from my mind.
And as I moved forward again.
“Water police…!”
Irina’s quiet warning made my eyes sharpen.
Thanks to her, I spotted two lanterns in the distance at the plaza.
‘Night patrol?’
On normal nights like this, the defense seniors would be drunk off their asses.
But with Camilla’s recent arrival and Miya-senpai’s exploits, discipline had tightened up.
‘Didn’t expect this kind of interference.’
They patrolled meticulously for a long time.
We scanned from the shadows for another escape route.
‘This means seniors are spread out everywhere….’
I sighed deeply inside.
While plotting a new escape path.
“Wait here a bit.”
Irina whispered to me, as if she’d had a great idea.
She placed a hand on her chest, where the cheer uniform showed through.
And quietly activated her aura.
――――.
Then, in a very soft voice, she telepathically called Allen.
「Hey, Captain? It’s me.」
「Yes, Your Highness. Did you get back safely…?」
Allen replied in a slightly drowsy voice, probably lying in bed after work.
Irina commanded in a regal, queenly tone unlike when she was with me.
「Yes, I got in fine. But I need a small favor from you, Captain.」
「Yes, anything at all.」
When the acting captain asked, the princess glanced at the defense knights patrolling the plaza and said.
「On your way back, could you ask the defense knights for a little help…?」
With a very sly smile.
「Could you send 10 cases of beer to the Norton branch as encouragement?」
I looked down at Irina with wide eyes.
She winked playfully and pressed a finger to her lips.
「Snacks too would be great.」
「Understood.」
I figured Allen would grumble given his personality, but he replied calmly.
「Thanks. Take the cost from my operations fund safe. Grab a case for yourself too, Captain.」
「Yes, thank you!」
At Irina’s gracious offer of a case of beer, Allen’s voice brightened instantly.
‘Typical of a former delinquent….’
He might’ve anticipated this and followed orders quietly.
“Hehe….”
Irina soon suppressed her aura.
And gazed up at me with a smile.
Like a wealthy knight order comrade.
“Let’s wait just a bit like this.”
The princess leaned her face on my shoulder.
Then closed her eyes for a moment, feeling my body heat.
“…”
I gently placed my hand on her arm.
And waited against the building wall with the princess like that.
“Rest easy.”
I gazed down at Irina.
Her silver crown was just as cute as ever.
‘She’s changed a lot.’
But she was no longer terrified like on the purge day.
She simply relied on me comfortably, like a lover.
And she’d even gained the ability to handle situations herself.
“It’s night, so it’s a bit chilly.”
I pulled her closer into my embrace.
And waited, admiring her proudly, until Allen finished his task.
About 10 minutes later.
「Seniors, time to head back!」
Reactions started from the plaza side.
「Huh, already…? If we go in early, Miya’ll snitch to the vice-captain again!」
「Beer arrived at HQ! They’re handing it out to all the on-duty folks?」
An excited junior patrolman.
His senior replied in delight too.
「What, really? No way—what’s the occasion?」
「Hurry! Everyone’s heading back early!」
The clack of military boots faded away.
The defense knights returned to HQ with light steps.
“…”
The plaza fell silent once more.
“Truly brilliant.”
“Right? It’s praise for our knights too.”
Irina flashed a bewitching eye smile.
At some point, her eyes had taken on a sultry glint.
“Yes, thank you so much.”
I chuckled and stroked her shoulder.
“Shall we go now?”
“Yeah, it’s getting too late.”
We stepped back onto the road.
And briskly walked until we finally reached near the villa.
“This is where we should part.”
“Yeah, can’t risk getting caught again….”
Irina caught her breath and looked up at me.
Even with her stamina, the changing room ordeal had worn her out.
“Hey, Veil.”
As I turned to head home, I looked back at Irina’s call.
“Yes…?”
Irina approached me.
And with emerald eyes shining even in the dead of night, she said.
“Do you remember what I said earlier…?”
What she’d said….
I pondered briefly, then recalled.
“About status?”
“Yeah, how a commoner rises in the world.”
The empire’s Second Imperial Princess with her radiant silver hair gazed at me intently.
“Do you… know what it is?”
At her cautious question, I closed my eyes gently.
And exhaled deeply.
“Yes, I think I do.”
Hearing my answer, Irina’s lips curved into a faint smile.
“Think it over carefully.”
The princess’s smile felt somehow wistful.
Like back in those days.
“Now….”
The silver-haired princess with my jacket over her shoulders.
She carefully rose onto her tiptoes.
“I can protect you.”
The princess lightly kissed my cheek.
“…”
As she lowered back down, her eyes shimmered.
Irina slowly turned her head to hide the tremble.
“I’m off.”
Luckily, the princess wasn’t pressing for an immediate answer.
As if considering my feelings.
“Please get home safely….”
She strolled quietly into the night street.
I stared blankly at her retreating figure.
Because her kiss just now had hit harder than expected.
“…”
It was a different flavor from the intense kiss in the changing room.
That one had been mindless intoxication from pleasure….
This one cleared my mind, like forgotten memories resurfacing.
“Irina….”
The wolf returned alone to the snowy plains.
I stared at the horizon where she’d vanished.
A vast night sky stretched beyond.
――――――――.
Red fireworks embroidered the dark sky.
The source of the launched flames was the central palace.
‘The first talks ended successfully too, it seems.’
Lea must have completed the event safely.
Lydia had apparently succeeded with the hot springs development and was firing off Eastern fireworks freely.
‘….’
I pictured the three princesses in my mind.
Then, suddenly, the massive statues from myths looming behind them came to mind.
“This is insane….”
A chill ran down my spine as I quietly headed home.
On the way back.
I faintly sensed a mana presence.
But when I turned.
The presence vanished without a trace.
“Must’ve been my imagination.”
Probably just paranoia from the emperor’s sudden image popping into my head.
I shook off the unease and returned to the villa entrance.
Meanwhile, a small bird took flight into the night sky.
Hiding amid the bright fireworks’ light and noise, it sped back.
Toward the capital’s west side.
