Chapter 410: Hold Your Breath, Love Dive
It goes without saying that Amelia was currently moving with her identity completely concealed.
There was no telling when or where she might run into a lackey from the noble faction.
The problem, however, was that her appearance was far too conspicuous.
Her beautiful face, which would put most noble ladies to shame, her voluptuous body, and her brilliant silver hair and eyes were all hallmarks of the Orsia Grand Ducal Family.
Until now, she had apparently been hiding with her hood pulled low, but now that we had crossed the border, she could no longer evade notice that way.
In the city we’d passed through just a few days ago, the guards had been unusually strict in their inspections, focusing only on young women.
In particular, if a woman’s hair was even remotely close to silver, she would be dragged away without a single exception.
We had managed to avoid the inspection thanks to Elisabeth’s letter of recommendation, but our luck couldn’t last forever.
I considered casting perception-hindering magic on her like I did for Iris and Sylvia, but the artifact she wore was an obstacle.
The Subordinate Artifact, Arca.
It had saved Amelia when she was nearly captured by the rebel army, but it couldn't be removed without a succession ceremony. It also had the ability to resist mana, rendering magic ineffective.
In response, Amelia had come up with a clever solution.
The plan was to trick the artifact by making my mana wavelength similar to hers.
But to do that, I needed to exchange bodily fluids with Amelia.
“Hhup, oop, slurp, schlorp…♡ Sir Hyun-woo…♡”
It was a slightly extreme method, but at the time, it was the best option we had.
I wasn't as strong then as I am now, where I could handle a pursuit team on my own.
Squeeze—
I grabbed Amelia’s large breasts.
“Ngh…!♡”
Of course, kissing had long since become a secondary concern.
If anything, it was stranger that a man and woman in their prime, who kissed at least once every two days, had yet to cross the final line.
Of course, crossing that line wouldn't be difficult if I set my mind to it. If I pushed just a little, Amelia would surely accept me.
But I didn’t.
I had an instinctual certainty that it wasn’t time to take her virginity yet.
That didn’t mean, however, that I was suppressing my sexual desire.
“Amelia.”
“…Yes.”
At some point, I had started dropping the formalities with Amelia while we were matching our mana wavelengths.
It was a sort of private promise between the two of us.
I looked down at Amelia lying on the mattress and slowly undid my belt.
Click—
My monstrously swollen dick revealed itself.
Amelia sucked in a sharp breath.
“I’ll be in your care again today.”
“…”
She stared silently at my dick for a moment before slowly reaching out and wrapping her hand around the shaft.
Slide, slick—
Then, she began to stroke it skillfully.
It goes without saying that this wasn’t the first time Amelia had given me a handjob.
To be precise, it started two days after we left the capital of the Nivia Kingdom.
“Um… Sir Hyun-woo? Does it feel good?”
“Of course. It’s much better than when Sylvia does it.”
“Ah…!”
For the record, that was a white lie.
I knew it was bad manners to mention another woman’s name and make comparisons during sex, but for some strange reason, Amelia liked it when I praised her by comparing her to someone else.
“I-Is that really true?”
“Of course.”
As proof, my dick gave a hard throb.
Amelia’s hand immediately picked up the pace. As if for extra service, she began to gently knead my balls with her other hand.
Slap, slap, slap—
Truthfully, the days when I would cum from just a handjob were long gone, but that could change depending on who was giving it.
I took a ragged breath and looked at Amelia.
Her elegant features were dazzling enough to capture anyone’s attention, regardless of gender.
Even I, who had built up a certain tolerance to beautiful women, found it hard to look away.
“…I’ll make you feel even better.”
Mwah♡
At that moment, Amelia pressed her lips to the head of my dick and began to suck up the pre-cum that was dribbling out.
I was slightly taken aback.
I’d only ever gotten handjobs from her before; this was my first blowjob.
‘Do they teach oral sex in the Grand Ducal Family…?’
Just as my question deepened, I felt a familiar mana from outside.
It was only then that I realized the one who had taught Amelia about sex was Iris.
“Chuu, slurp, schluurp…♡”
Amelia winced slightly as if her jaw ached, but even that looked charming since she was so beautiful to begin with.
More than anything, her dedication to pleasing me, even while enduring discomfort, made my balls tremble.
If there was one small thing to be desired, it was that the stimulation was a little lacking.
If I had my way, I would have grabbed the back of her head and pounded my dick into her throat like I did with Tia, but doing that to Amelia would surely leave her with trauma.
Exercising a bit of patience, I decided to leisurely enjoy the slick sensation of her hot tongue wrapping around me.
She did occasionally scrape her teeth along the shaft, but it felt more like a novel stimulation than pain.
“Schlorp, slurp, mwah, slurp♡”
Whether it was because Iris was a good teacher or Amelia was a fast learner, her technique was in no way inferior to Tia’s, and the urge to cum steadily built.
I reflexively started to reach for the back of her head, but I stopped, took a calm, deep breath, and closed my eyes.
Something like this is nice once in a while.
Throb, throb, throb—
“Oomph?!!”
A moment later, I released my load. A massive amount of semen flooded into Amelia’s mouth.
Contrary to my expectation that she would spit me out, Amelia’s body trembled faintly as she diligently swallowed my cum.
Gulp, gulp, gulp…
Her throat bobbed several times.
I stared blankly at the sight.
Did Iris teach her this, too?
“…Sluuurp, peck.”
Only after sucking out the very last drop from my urethra did Amelia finish the blowjob.
Thanks to her, I was thoroughly satisfied.
“…Hic.”
Amelia quickly turned her head and let out a tiny burp.
The sight of her blushing and glancing at me worriedly, afraid I might have heard, nearly made the thread of my reason snap.
I had planned to put off my first night with Amelia until after things were settled in the Duchy of Orsia, but I wasn't sure if my patience would hold out until then.
*
Our original plan was to cross the Lugen Mountains and arrive at the capital, Pendria.
But as I’ve said before, things in life rarely go according to plan.
“…Hah.”
I let out a heavy sigh as I stared across the chasm where the bridge had once been.
The fog was so thick I couldn’t see an inch in front of me.
“You can’t even see the remains of the bridge… It must have collapsed a long time ago.”
“It looks to me like it’s been at least several decades. But since this area is so rarely traveled, it was probably never properly repaired.”
“…I-I’m sorry.”
I patted the head of Amelia, who was suddenly looking at me guiltily, and fell into thought for a moment.
At first, I had tried to leap across the canyon using my Lightness Skill, partly to scout the other side.
But even a full-power leap wasn’t enough to reach the other side.
I fell about 100 meters before managing to grab a tree branch growing from a crevice in the rock and climbing back up.
Without knowing the exact distance, teleporting across was impossible. Even if I could blow away the fog, the distance was still an issue.
As for flying, considering the duration of the Fly magic, there was a high chance I’d end up taking a bungee jump without a cord midway across.
“Iris, can I see the map?”
“Ah, yes.”
I spread out the map of the mountain range we had acquired from a nearby village.
According to the village chief, this map was made 50 years ago.
He said that now, with the frequent appearance of high-grade monsters like wyverns, no one dared to venture deep into the mountains.
‘Did the bridge collapse sometime during that period?’
I clicked my tongue inwardly and examined the map.
But no matter how hard I looked, this was the only bridge that crossed the canyon.
In other words, we had no choice but to go the long way around.
Either that, or risk our lives by descending into the bottomless canyon.
According to our original plan, we should have arrived in the capital by the evening after tomorrow.
‘This will add at least three, maybe even five more days…’
It was an unexpected variable, but right now, there was no other way.
“Everyone, get in the carriage. It’s not like we have a solution right now, so let’s at least get out of here before the sun sets—”
“Sir Hyun-woo.”
At that moment, Sylvia, who rarely spoke first, addressed me.
She had to use formal speech with me in front of Iris, so she usually kept quiet.
“I have a way to cross the canyon.”
“…What?”
Sylvia pointed at the canyon with a deadpan expression.
“We go down.”
“…??”
For a second, I thought I had misheard.
But Sylvia wasn't the type to joke around, especially not with me.
“I will carry Lady Iris, and you, Sir Hyun-woo, will carry Lady Amelia. It will be much faster than going around the canyon.”
Sylvia nonchalantly voiced the very plan I had only been considering in my head.
It was certainly the fastest way, albeit with some risk.
“But no matter how you look at it, that’s dangerous…”
“I’m fine.”
Tug—
Before I could finish, Amelia pulled on my collar.
Her eyes were sparkling with more determination than ever before.
“…And Iris?”
“I’m fine, too. I get a little motion sick, but I’ve always liked high places.”
Iris beamed as if to tell me not to worry.
At this point, it was awkward for me to be the only one objecting.
*
There is a magic spell called ‘Detection.’
It was a spell I used to use often, specialized for surveying terrain.
Thanks to it, I could easily find my way through complex dungeons and mazes, making it an incredibly useful spell.
But even with such magic, I couldn't measure the depth of the canyon.
‘Is it about 2,000 meters deep?’
I’d heard that the deepest canyon on Earth, the Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon, was 6,000 meters deep.
Taking some comfort in the fact that this was shallower, I pulled Amelia into my arms.
“S-Sir Hyun-woo… w-we’ll be okay, right…?”
The determination on Amelia’s face from moments ago was now replaced by pure nervousness.
Well, a 2,000-meter drop was less of a bungee jump and more like skydiving without a parachute.
“Wow… it’s so deep. The wind is strong, too. Seeing so many wind spirits, it looks like strong gusts are common here.”
If anything, it was Iris, who seemed strangely excited, who was the odd one out.
“Shall we get going then?”
“W-Wait a moment…! I-I’m not mentally prepared yet…!”
“Lady Amelia, do you know something?”
“…Yes?”
I gave Amelia a small smile and stepped closer to the cliff’s edge.
“When I was a kid, there were these thugs who would extort protection money from the street urchins. Naturally, resentment built up among us. Then one day, an opportunity for revenge came. It was the perfect chance to smash a beer bottle over one of their heads and run. But at first, I hesitated. Not because I was a law-abiding citizen, but simply because I was scared. They were bigger and meaner than me, so what would happen if I got caught? That was the first thing I worried about.”
“…So what did you do?”
“I smashed the beer bottle over his head, of course. And when I did, the feeling of liberation came before any fear of the consequences.”
Even now, I sometimes remember the feeling of it in my hand.
The thug clutched his bleeding head and cursed at me, and I flipped him off before running away.
“Well… I know I’m rambling a bit, but my point is, sometimes it’s not so bad to just do something without a plan.”
“…Don’t tell me?”
At that moment, Amelia’s face went pale.
“W-Wai—”
Before she could finish her sentence, I leaped into the canyon.
In an instant, the ground beneath my feet vanished, and a strange sense of floating enveloped my entire body.
It felt as if I were flying.
“KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!”
