Chapter 49: Opening the Cage (3)
By the time noon rolled around, I was still pounding away at Natalia.
A strong, beautiful woman—the kind I had dreamed of since my past life.
On top of that, she was a married woman of noble birth.
And the situation—fucking Natalia in her own home, of all places—added a thrill like no other.
I hadn't planned for it to go on this long, but the circumstances kept making it impossible for Natalia and me to let go of each other.
"Kh...!"
"Haa, haa... P-please... in my mouth...! Ahh...!"
I immediately shoved my cock into Natalia’s mouth, pressing her head down between my legs.
"Mmph...!"
Despite how many times we had already done it, the throbbing sensation of an impending ejaculation was still incredibly intense.
Similarly, the sight of Natalia willingly taking my seed never got old.
As we stood there, silently gazing at each other in the aftermath...
—Knock, knock, knock.
"Lady Natalia, it’s Ella."
I shot her a questioning look, and Natalia whispered back that it was a maid who was particularly devoted to her.
Hearing that made me throb with heat all over again.
I can't pass this up.
I immediately picked Natalia up and carried her to the door.
Natalia’s eyes widened in shock and panic, but I ignored her silent plea.
Hiding my body behind hers, I cracked the door open just a sliver.
"Ah! Lady Natalia! You’re awake!"
"E-Ella. What is it?"
"Well... it seemed you were waking up a bit later than usual, so..."
So, even though her mistress hadn't called, she knocked out of concern.
She was a loyal maid, coming to check on her lady even at the risk of incurring her wrath...
With that thought, I lunged forward, burying myself deep into Natalia’s still-sopping pussy with all my might.
"Hauggh...?!"
"Lady Natalia?"
"I-I’m fine... ahh... I... I’m really okay...!"
"My Lady, if I may be so bold, your voice sounds terrible. Your complexion... you seem to be sweating a lot. I’m worried you might be ill."
"I... I said I’m fine...! Mmph...!"
Natalia’s desperate eyes pleaded with me to stop.
Please. If I were the type to stop here, I wouldn't have started in the first place.
I gripped her hips firmly and pressed hard against her portio—the spot she loved so much it drove her mad.
"Hieek...!"
"L-Lady Natalia. Please, open the door. I don't know what’s wrong, but you seem to be in a very bad state..."
"I told you I’m fine...! Ahh... E-Ella. Please...!"
"My Lady..."
"Please just go... Not now... I-I can't...!"
I grabbed Natalia by the hair as she struggled and flung the door wide open.
"Oh... my god...!"
There stood Natalia, being relentlessly pounded from behind by a man she had never seen before.
I caught sight of the cute, pitiful maid, frozen in place, unable to even draw breath at the spectacle.
"Hauggh, kugh... hhh...!"
Natalia’s walls clamped down tighter than ever before, her entire body trembling violently.
Finally, she let out a massive spray of vaginal fluid, like a grand fountain.
The maid, Ella, ended up drenched, her face splattered by the fluid Natalia had erupted.
"Y-you... who are you...?"
"Your name is Ella, right? Natalia is very happy right now, so you can leave. Tell everyone else not to come to the bedroom until they are summoned."
As I looked directly into her eyes and planted the Suggestion, the light faded from Ella’s gaze.
"Yes... I will do so..."
With hollow eyes, Ella turned away from Natalia and walked off.
Having handled the cleanup, I closed the door and pulled the collapsed Natalia back up.
"Haa... haa... M-Master..."
"Don't worry, she won't remember a thing. Now... shall we finish what we started?"
"Ah... ahh...!"
This time, I positioned her in front of the large mirror next to the bed.
I held her up from behind, thrusting into her so she could see exactly how lewd of a woman she had become.
"How is it, Natalia? Can you see it clearly? Your pussy, clamped tight around my cock."
"Aggh, kahh... haa..."
"Haha, you’re so happy you can't even speak. Hup!"
"Ohok... ahh...!"
As I increased the tempo of my hips, Natalia’s moans melted into pure ecstasy.
I drove into her with even more vigor.
Finally, just as Natalia’s voice faded into nothing but the sound of escaping air, I finished our marathon session.
"Kh...!"
"Hieek... hiek..."
Natalia’s eyes rolled back slightly as her body went limp.
Even when I toyed with her clitoris a bit roughly, she only twitched, showing no other reaction.
"Oh... she fainted. Maybe I went too far...?"
I lay down on the bed with the limp Natalia.
Her beautiful naked body drenched in our sweat, her face melted with tremors and bliss, the mixture of love juice and semen leaking out with a squelching sound... It was a magnificent sight that always filled me with pride.
As I sat there stroking Natalia’s thick pubic hair, enjoying the afterglow and resting from the intense sex, something happened.
"Hm? What’s this?"
*
Suddenly, half of my vision went dark, replaced by the sight of a garden bathed in the noon sun.
I saw a father and daughter clashing swords, while a young girl watched them.
...I don't know who the females are, but the one who looks like the father is Loengram.
I didn't know why I was seeing this, but I could tell what the situation was.
I wondered where our dear Knight Commander had disappeared to since early morning, and it turned out he was spending a cozy time with another family.
Well, thanks to that, I was able to fuck Natalia to my heart's content.
Anyway... Sitri’s telepathy finally arrived to explain everything.
"Leon, can you see this?"
"Yeah. I’m a bit surprised. Where’s Teacher?"
"Don't worry about her. She’s currently clinging to my leg, trembling."
"...Why?"
"W-we agreed not to mention that! Young Master, the important thing isn't the fact that I’m afraid of mice... ah."
"Helena is afraid of mice... Good, I’ll remember that."
"Aaah... no..."
Leaving behind Helena’s despairing cry, I focused back on Sitri.
The faint sound of squeaking echoed in my ears... It seemed she was using mice as observers.
"Is that right, Sitri?"
"Indeed. Fufu, you are quick to grasp the situation as always. At any rate, as you can see, the situation is exactly as you’ve surmised."
"Ha... this is ridiculous..."
I could, perhaps, understand Loengram having a second family with another woman—if I stretched my imagination.
Just as Natalia hadn't married Loengram out of love, Loengram likely hadn't married Natalia out of love either.
In that case, shouldn't there be at least a minimum level of respect and empathy for someone in the same boat?
He dismisses the woman he forced himself upon as having 'behaved disgracefully,' while he goes off to form a family with a woman he actually likes?
And he didn't even seem to treat his own son like a human being because he lacked talent.
"Excellent, Nadia. Your skills have improved again."
"Thank you, Father!"
"As expected of my daughter. Keep practicing."
"Yes! Father! Thank you!"
Hah, look at this doting father.
A feeling I hadn't felt since being reborn into this world began to bloom within me.
An emotion I hadn't even felt toward my own mother and father, who viewed their children as mere chess pieces.
"It’s disgusting. It’s revolting."
"I feel the same, Young Master."
"I am simply amazed by such hypocrisy," Sitri added.
As we shared our thoughts, the nameless woman who had been watching approached Loengram after he finished sparring with his daughter.
Hmm... his taste in women isn't bad, at least. She’ll be quite a catch in about ten years.
As I was thinking that, the nameless woman spoke to Loengram.
"Um... Your Excellency."
"Nina, didn't I tell you to call me 'husband'?"
"...I appreciate the sentiment, but I am of humble birth and cannot dare to call you that. I am someone who should not do so."
Nina’s polite bow was quite unexpected.
Most people in that position would have tried to overstep their bounds.
For instance, a woman like Nina might try to replace Natalia as the primary wife.
However... our Knight Commander firmly wrapped his arm around the wise and sensible Nina’s shoulder.
"Just wait a little longer. I will make sure to welcome you as the formal matriarch of our family."
"I am truly grateful for those words as well, but that is not a position I can handle."
Hmm... this is getting interesting.
It seemed Loengram truly loved Nina, not Natalia.
To the point where he was trying to force his 'ideal' concubine—who was modest and wise—into the position of the legal wife.
But Nina knew how reckless and nonsensical that was, and she knew she couldn't handle the position even if it happened.
So, I wondered what Nina actually wanted from Loengram...
"Your Excellency, I am fine staying as I am. In fact, I prefer it. But, for Nadia... please, let her live with pride..."
"That is exactly why I intend to make you my legal wife. Only then can Nadia be recognized as a legitimate descendant of the Clausewitz family."
"Your Excellency..."
"Nina, the man standing before you is no ordinary man. I am the Sword Saint."
Wow, our Knight Commander really has a head full of flowers.
Now I understood why he left Natalia alone, never letting her step foot out of her room.
If he isolated her further and pushed her toward the edge, things would eventually go the way he wanted.
For example, Natalia might commit suicide.
Or he could use her state as an excuse to go to the Holy Imperial Church and petition for a divorce.
Wait, but I’m the one who just trampled all over that plan, aren't I?
And yet, this man not only attended the banquet I hosted but also spent a wild night receiving all sorts of entertainment?
Just what kind of person is he?
I knew he didn't love Natalia.
I thought he might love Nina, but now it seemed that wasn't quite it either.
Who the hell does this guy love... ah...!
"He’s an extreme egoist. Or should I say, a narcissist?"
I concluded that Loengram was a man purely intoxicated by himself.
Intoxicated by being the strongest man in the Empire, the Emperor’s Sword, the Sword Saint, and the Knight Commander.
Intoxicated by being the cold, strategic man who could drive the woman he was forced to marry to ruin without lifting a finger.
And... intoxicated by being such a wonderful father and husband.
Helena’s telepathy leaked out, filled with intense hatred.
"This is absurd. It goes beyond disgusting and revolting; it’s hateful."
"Calm yourself, Helena. You know what would happen if you were to strike down that Commander," Sitri cautioned.
"...Yes, Lady Sitri. I do. I know it well. And that is why it is even more galling."
Right... unfortunately, we couldn't kill Loengram.
Both Helena and I had gained immortal bodies and inexhaustible magic power through our contracts with Sitri.
If we set our minds to it, we could kill anyone.
Nevertheless, we must not kill Loengram.
Forget killing him; we couldn't even cut off a finger or harm a single hair on his head.
A challenge to the Imperial Knight Commander was a challenge to the Emperor.
A challenge to the Emperor was a challenge to the Empire itself, and that would only lead to ruin.
Before the overwhelming system of a nation, an individual’s specialness held no meaning or value.
But...
I smirked.
What I wanted wasn't the Knight Commander’s ruin, but to possess his wife, Natalia, as my own woman.
Honestly, as someone who had decided to steal another man's wife, I didn't exactly have the right to criticize anyone else's morality.
However.
Landing a blow on a guy I didn't like wasn't a matter of morality, was it?
And now I know exactly what kind of monster the enemy is.
The enemy was Sword Saint Loengram, a monster of self-love.
My initial plan was to use Loengram as a political partner and a source of military information... but I had no choice but to scrap that plan.
Of course, I had also considered negotiating with him to let Natalia out of her cage.
But there was no negotiating with a man who cared for nothing but himself.
"So, what do you intend to do?"
"I have to pay him back for what Natalia suffered. In my past life, there was a saying: 'If you make tears fall from someone else's eyes, blood will fall from yours.'"
I would make Loengram weep tears of blood.
And I would make Natalia, finally held in my arms, weep tears of joy.
That was my conclusion.
Well... Natalia’s body and heart are already mine anyway.
With that decided, I climbed back on top of Natalia.
Making Loengram weep tears of blood was important, but that was a task for later.
"So, I’m going to enjoy myself more for now. That’s okay, right, Natalia?"
"Heugh... yeees..."
"Hahaha."
