Chapter 429: The Hero Climaxes in Defeat Again Today[R-18] (20)
After the evening banquet, I was about to head to the guest room the count had prepared for me. As I walked slowly down the corridor—
“Lord Marquis.”
Hearing a cautious voice call out from behind, I stopped and turned around.
“Ah, Lady Cielin. What is it?”
Cielin hesitated for a moment, then clasped her hands together and spoke shyly.
“Um… if you happen to have time tomorrow… would it be alright if I personally gave you a tour of the city?”
Her eyes trembled slightly, her cheeks flushed red.
I watched her for a moment before smiling.
“To have you, my lady, personally guide me through the city would be an honor. I would be delighted to accept your offer.”
“Really?”
In an instant, Cielin’s eyes widened and sparkled. A light mixed with anticipation and excitement spread across her face.
“Yes. I was quite curious myself, as this is one of the most prosperous cities in the Kingdom of Sivern.”
“Then shall we meet… before lunch tomorrow?”
“Of course. Well then, Lady Cielin. I will see you in the morning.”
I stepped closer to her and gently took her hand. Then, I placed a light kiss on its back.
“Hih…!”
Cielin’s eyes flew open as she gasped, the tips of her ears instantly turning crimson.
I gave her wavering gaze one last look before turning away.
I might get to fuck her much sooner than I thought.
She was undoubtedly dreaming of a romance with me. A marriage into a noble family, the position of a marquis’s wife, a glamorous future.
Still, she’s got the looks. She might be decent enough as a trophy.
When I entered the VIP room provided by Count Darden, Bi-yeon, who was lying on the bed, turned only her head to look at me.
“Did you eat?”
“…Yeah.”
Her voice was somewhat listless.
“What’s wrong? Why the lackluster response?”
“…What do you mean?”
Bi-yeon avoided my gaze, mumbling vaguely. I closed the door and quietly entered the room.
“Are you still angry by any chance?”
“No, I’m not! Who said I was angry?”
“Then why are you acting like this?”
“I’m just… sleepy.”
“If you’re going to lie, at least make it believable.”
I sat on the edge of the bed and looked down at her. Bi-yeon still avoided my eyes, fiddling with the edge of the blanket for no reason.
“…About that kiss.”
At her small mumble, I let out a smirk.
“Are you still pouting over something so trivial?”
When I asked playfully, Bi-yeon glared at me with fierce eyes and snapped.
“Grr! That was my first kiss! And what? Trivial?! Trivial?!”
“Come on, I barely touched your lips. Why are you making such a fuss over that?”
“You call that nothing?!”
Bi-yeon shot up from the bed and lunged at me.
“Hey, not this again. Can’t you see I’m in a bind because of these bruises you gave me?!”
“A bind? I bet you secretly think it looks cool! Don’t dodge, just stand still and take your beating!”
“Heh, too slow.”
“Grr…!”
This time, I didn’t let her get me like she did during the day. I skillfully dodged Bi-yeon’s punches and kicks, slyly looking for an opening.
“I’ll give you a matching bruise on the other side!”
In a fit of anger, Bi-yeon leaped into the air and attempted a kick.
In that instant, I dodged and simultaneously grabbed her precisely by the waist, throwing her down onto the bed.
Her teal hair scattered across the pillow, and her hands landed on my chest as if to push me down.
“Ngh… Let go…!”
Bi-yeon struggled, her face turning red, but from any angle, our current position—
“You know, someone might get the wrong idea if they saw this.”
As I chuckled and muttered, Bi-yeon’s eyes twitched and wavered.
“I-I don’t care about that! Get off me right now!”
“I don’t want to. You look even prettier up close like this.”
“…You crazy bastard, seriously…!”
Bi-yeon gritted her teeth and tried to push me away, but I just smiled and leaned in closer.
“Hey. Want me to show you what a real kiss is?”
“Huh? W-wait… Don’t. Hey, don’t! Mmph…!”
In an instant, I covered her soft lips with mine. I expected her to push me away forcefully, but contrary to my expectations, Bi-yeon didn’t resist at all.
When I pulled back slightly to check, she had her eyes squeezed shut, her cheeks flushed as she meekly accepted my lips.
She was throwing a tantrum saying she didn’t want to.
Pressing my lips firmly against hers, I slowly moved the tip of my tongue. As I gently prodded her tightly sealed lips—
“Ngh…!”
With a short breath, a small gap opened between her lips. I didn’t miss the chance and slipped my tongue inside.
“Mwah… Chuuup… Haah…♡”
I cupped her jaw and pushed my tongue deeper. The tip of my tongue wrapped around hers, tangling together.
The deep kiss continued for some time.
Pulling my lips away, I whispered close to her ear.
“How was it?”
“…Ngh… Y-You crazy bastard… really…!”
Her mouth cursed at me, but she couldn’t meet my eyes, turning her head away. Even so, her lips were still moist with my saliva.
I smiled.
“Can I continue? Your reaction just now was very cute.”
“I don’t know…!”
“If you don’t want to, push me away. Even now.”
Even after hearing that, Bi-yeon didn’t raise her hands. Instead, she closed her eyes and tried to steady her breathing, clearly tense.
Seeing that, I slowly leaned down again.
“Then… I’ll have another taste.”
“Ngh…! Heup…”
Our lips met again, tongues tangling, saliva mixing.
*
Unfortunately, I failed to fuck Bi-yeon, and instead, I only ended up with more injuries.
She’s going to scratch my face just because I touched her pussy a little?
The mood was getting ripe during the kiss, so I was trying to warm up her pussy to naturally transition into sex. But the moment my hand went down there, she raised her claws like a cat and swiped at my face.
“Lord Marquis, your face… what happened again…?”
Mary approached me with a shocked expression. I shrugged as if it were nothing.
“It’s… a long story. Just bring me a cup of tea.”
“Yes, just a moment.”
Mary brought tea and medicine and began to carefully apply it to my face.
“Don’t tell me… was it Lady Bi-yeon again?”
“Yeah. We were kissing, and it felt like we were about to move on to sex… but the moment I touched her pussy, she scratched me.”
Mary was speechless for a moment before whispering cautiously.
“Maybe she wasn’t mentally prepared yet…”
I smirked and nodded.
“The mood wasn’t bad, though.”
“Still, shouldn’t you approach her more carefully? We’re just commoners, and we’re in a position to be grateful just for receiving the favor of someone as noble as you, Lord Marquis, but…”
Mary hesitated slightly before continuing.
“Lady Bi-yeon is a noble spirit… so shouldn’t you treat her a bit more delicately?”
Mary trailed off carefully, watching my reaction.
“Hmm, should I?”
I rested my chin on my hand and fell into thought for a moment.
“Try it that way once. Approach her slowly, like a normal lover.”
Her words were cautious but held genuine sincerity. I smiled and placed a hand on Mary’s head.
“Alright. Thanks for the advice.”

At the appointed time, I made my way to the Darden family’s garden. The quiet garden was adorned with well-manicured flowerbeds and an elegant fountain.
In the distance, I saw someone standing with their hands clasped together.
“Lady Cielin.”
When I called her name, she looked up as if startled.
“Ah! Lord Marquis!”
Cielin walked toward me with a bright smile. Today, she wore a pale pink dress that shone even more beautifully in the morning sunlight.
“You were waiting for me already.”
“Yes. Did you sleep well, Lord Marquis?”
“Thanks to the Count’s consideration, I slept soundly.”
“Shall we get going, then? I thought we could take a light tour of Darden Castle first… and then I’ll show you the city. What do you think?”
“That sounds wonderful. I’ll be in your care, Lady Cielin.”
I took a step toward her and offered my hand. Cielin’s eyes widened in surprise for a moment, but she soon took my hand carefully with a shy smile. I could feel her nervousness through her small, soft fingertips.
After that, I followed Cielin around Darden Castle. She began to passionately explain its history and traditions.
“Our Darden family has ruled this land since the founding of the kingdom. At first, it was a very small and remote territory, but through generations of diligent work, it has become what it is today.”
Cielin pointed to each of the castle’s buildings as she continued her explanation. At some point, her hand naturally came to rest on my arm. The subtle distance between us had closed, and as if unaware of me, she gazed at the castle’s high tower with sparkling eyes.
“That tower was designed by the first Count Darden himself. He was a magician, and it’s said he built it for his research.”
“Do you use magic as well, Lady Cielin?”
At my question, she nodded with a proud look. When she focused a bit of mana at her fingertips, a small, warm light bloomed in her palm. It was basic light magic.
“This is all I can do. To be honest… I don’t have much of a talent for magic. No matter how hard I try, it’s difficult to get beyond this level.”
Cielin lowered her head slightly and smiled with a hint of disappointment. I took her hand and lifted it.
“Talent aside, the hand that creates that light is quite beautiful.”
“Ah… L-Lord Marquis…!”
Cielin flushed and jumped in surprise, quickly averting her gaze downward in embarrassment. But she didn’t immediately pull her hand away.
“You’re such a tease…”
Cielin protested quietly, her face red. I gave a playful shrug.
“Where will you show me next?”
“This time, we’re going to the city center. There’s a market and many pretty workshops. There’s also a teahouse I like… would you perhaps like to stop by?”
“Anywhere you recommend is welcome, Lady Cielin.”
“Then, this way!”
Led by her hand, I wandered all over the city, and now we were walking together in the Darden family’s private garden. On the outside, I strolled with a relaxed smile, but on the inside, I was so bored I could have yawned.
When is she going to react?
The effects of the lust art seemed to be kicking in slower than I expected. A normal woman would have been writhing in pleasure by now.
Hmm, is it because she’s a magician, even if a low-level one?
That didn’t seem right. The lust art worked even on high-level masters of the Transformation Realm. If so, it could be a matter of her constitution.
I’ll watch for a bit longer, and if there’s still no reaction, I’ll just have to take her by force.
I waited patiently. And then, at some point, Cielin’s steps slowed, and a subtle tremor appeared in her eyes.
“Ah…”
With a small gasp, Cielin unconsciously crossed and rubbed her legs together. She fidgeted, restlessly clutching and releasing the hem of her skirt with her fingertips.
Finally, it’s taking effect.
It seemed the lust art was finally working.
Pretending to know nothing, I looked at her with a concerned expression.
“Lady Cielin, are you not feeling well?”
When I asked gently, she flinched and turned her head away. Her earlobes were flushed bright red.
“Ngh… um…”
Cielin looked at me, unsure of what to do, and kept pressing her legs together and rubbing them while avoiding my gaze, her face flushed. I could see her movements becoming increasingly unstable.
“If you’re feeling unwell, please just tell me. I can—”
Before I could finish, she suddenly lifted her head and cried out, her face completely red.
“N-No, you can’t…!”
“I can’t help you unless you tell me what’s wrong.”
She whimpered, wringing her hands as she muttered quietly.
“…Sniffle… It’s just… I-I suddenly have to use the restroom so badly… If I move even a little more… I think it’s going to come out…”
Cielin’s voice trembled, and her eyes welled up as if she were about to burst into tears at any moment.
I slowly shifted my gaze to the dense bushes at the edge of the garden. It was a spot shielded from outside view, a hidden place where no one could see.
“…But you can’t just keep standing here. If you’re truly that desperate, perhaps over there…”
As I trailed off, directing my gaze to the spot I had noticed earlier, Cielin also looked in that direction with an anxious face.
