Chapter Title: The High Elf's Secret Craving
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The day after meeting the Empress.
Guided by the palace maids, Reina had spent the entire day enjoying a peaceful rest as a key guest of the delegation. Now, she lay limp in the warm water, replaying yesterday's events in her mind.
‘Something's strange.’
Her heart had always raced whenever she saw Yuris.
Admiration for the strongest, most noble knight.
She had protected the elven forest, made great contributions to defeating the Demon King, and never once backed down against the demonkin.
In a situation where everyone sensed defeat, she was one of the only two who proclaimed victory—the most exalted of them all.
That was Yuris.
Reina harbored admiration for Yuris.
For the power she possessed, her unyielding spirit, and even her beautiful appearance.
That was why the original purpose of this delegation was to bring her into elven society through their bond with Yuris.
‘I fully expected the Empress not to hand Yuris over to me.’
So, she planned to shorten the timeline if needed, spend more time with her, and turn Yuris into her own during that period.
She believed the allure of an elf, her own power, would make it possible.
She thought it would work on Yuris.
But she had given up on taking Yuris with her.
-I'll propose different terms.
-I'd like to stay in the Empire for a while. While I'm here, please provide the Empire's best guards and the finest facilities for my stay.
Even thinking about it now, it was absurd.
She had come to the world of inferior species just to see Yuris, only to give that up.
The reason for giving up was simple.
‘Every time Yuris is by my side, I keep thinking about that...’
It was because of what happened at the Hall of Illusions.
The illusion of Reina that man had shown her.
The Yuris in that illusion.
The seductive smile and beautiful nude body of the fake Yuris from the illusion kept floating into her mind.
That's why yesterday, while going to the palace with Yuris, it had been hard to even stay by her side.
“Kyaaak!”
When their hands accidentally touched, she didn't know how startled she had been.
Because the image of Yuris massaging and arousing her body felt so vividly real.
Reina thought she needed to keep her distance from Yuris.
That was the reason she hadn't asked the Empress for Yuris.
Because the scene shown by the illusory Yuris was too dangerous.
Because it was powerful enough to make an elf like Reina succumb to lust.
She thought that if she stayed close to Yuris now, she didn't know what might happen, so she gave up on being together.
‘If I stay away for a few days, it'll be fine.’
And then meet her again.
With that thought, she received the Empire's finest service for the day.
However, no matter how luxuriously adorned the food was, no matter how perfect the service from the inferior species maids, she still felt an emptiness somewhere.
-We came here to feel good. Both you and me.
The words the illusory Yuris had whispered while gently stroking her body came to mind.
-Oooh! Hnguut! I-I'm cumming! Haaah!
The moans the real Yuris beyond the curtain had let out came to mind.
And then.
-Master, I'm yours!!
The sight of the illusory Yuris being ravished by Max also resurfaced.
When her thoughts reached that point, her face burned hot.
Bubble bubble.
She dunked her face into the water to shake off the stray thoughts, but it only made the images sharper—useless.
“Yuris...”
Her hand drifted downward.
Just like the illusory Yuris had done, she fondled her nipples and brought her hand to her lower abdomen.
A jolt of pleasure made her hips buck.
“Haaang.”
An un-elf-like moan escaped her lips.
“N-No.”
Her mouth said no, but her fingers delved deeper inside to explore further.
Masturbation steeped in carnal desire—something most high elves would never do.
Like her illusory self, she slipped her fingers into her tightly clenched pussy and carefully thrust them in.
“I shouldn't be doing this...”
It felt good.
She started feeling floaty.
Splish splash.
Every time her hand moved, the water in the tub splashed and rippled.
Reina's reflection in the water distorted this way and that with the waves.
She looked at herself submerged.
Legs spread wide, lewdly fingering herself while fondling her breasts.
A vulgar pose that didn't look like a high elf at all.
“L-Let's calm down.”
She couldn't let herself get swept up in illusions again.
She stood up from her spot.
To keep distance from the real Yuris because she was enchanted by the illusory one.
‘It was the wrong choice.’
Rather, that deprivation had only made her lust boil even hotter.
“Should I go now?”
Staying like this wouldn't do any good.
She was already burning up, and soaking in warm water might make her go all the way until she drowned.
After hurriedly finishing her bath, Reina dismissed the maids who had dried her body fluffy and nice.
“Still, if I'm going anyway...”
Wouldn't it be better to go dressed prettily?
Reina put on what she considered the most beautiful outfit she had brought.
Sheer white lingerie that flowed ethereally.
Thanks to the transparent weave made from rainbow spider silk that elves used for fabric, it created the effect of wearing no underwear at all—a bold outfit.
The coverage was so minimal that her deep cleavage was fully exposed, and even her sideboob peeked out slightly—an elf's battle lingerie.
She matched it with panties of the same design and color, then donned her dress.
Elves didn't fill each other's carnal desires, but that didn't mean they didn't appeal sexually at all.
Holding hands and subtle seduction—that much elves did too.
It was a necessary preparatory step for mental communion.
Just like when the illusory Yuris had given her a bubble bath.
“Let's go.”
It was evening now, with the sun starting to set, but she probably wasn't asleep yet.
It was around time for Yuris to be off duty and resting, so Reina headed to Yuris's room.
However.
“This is the knight order's quarters, including the captain's. Outsiders are prohibited from entering.”
“What?”
The knights blocked her.
“Do you know who I am? How dare inferior species!”
“We know. However, even diplomatic delegations can't enter everywhere. It's a military facility—please don't enter carelessly.”
“Th-This!”
Reina considered using force.
But she was a guest right now.
As someone being treated as a guest, there was no reason to fight the rigid knight order.
“Hu, fine. I get it.”
Reina decided to back off.
It left her regretting not being able to meet Yuris.
‘Should I have appealed a bit more back then?’
Biting her lip, Reina returned to her room.
But.
-We came here to feel good. Both you and me.
Yuris's voice lingered in her head.
“I can't take it.”
She turned her footsteps elsewhere.
The sneaky visitor was Reina.
“Is now a good time?”
The beautiful white dress she wore sparkled with jewels embedded like stars.
Had she come from some fancy event?
Reina, in her elegant dress, looked at me with slightly flushed cheeks.
“It's fine, but what's up?”
“It's nothing much...”
She glanced around furtively, then took a step closer and entered the shop.
I naturally stepped back, and the door closed behind me as a result.
Thud.
“Are you open for the screening hall today?”
What?
What did Reina just say?
“No customers, so it's possible... Did someone introduce you?”
She shook her head.
“N-No, not that...”
A brief stutter.
She wouldn't look me in the eye properly, just fidgeting with her fingers—it was obvious what she was thinking.
“No way, you want to be a customer and receive service yourself?”
“Eut...”
I hit the nail on the head, and Reina flinched.
“Wh-Why not?”
“Didn't you personally say elves don't succumb to lust? Pretty sure that was just two days ago.”
And she was a high elf, the noblest among them.
“Won't the other elves be disappointed if they find out?”
She clamped her mouth shut for a moment.
As if searching for an excuse, lost in thought.
After a brief deliberation, she finally spoke.
“I-I already lost the bet about lust, so...”
Her hastily spat-out excuse was that she'd lost a bet, so it was fine.
“Pfft!”
The flimsy excuse was so pathetic I couldn't help but laugh.
“Wh-What's so funny!”
“It's a pretty pathetic excuse for an elf, that's why.”
“S-So, you won't take me as a customer?”
As if.
I shook my head and gestured inside.
“Come in, customer. I'll serve you the finest illusion.”
I'll create and show you the illusion you crave and desire.
Since you've come as a customer, I have to tailor it to your tastes, make it unforgettable.
That way, you'll come back again, right?
What kind of play would an elf like?
‘She won't want Yuris again like last time, will she?’
