Chapter 29: To Go to the Labyrinth (4)
Chapter 29: To Go to the Labyrinth (4)
Sshhhhh.
I organize my thoughts while taking a shower.
'...I can't believe someone actually applied to this shitty company.'
A "family-like" company. Yeah, right. More like a "fucking family" company.
The kind of place that has a one-star rating on job review sites, where the employees' salaries are peanuts and bonuses are non-existent, yet the CEO’s son drives around in a Benz.
Normally, people don't apply to places like that.
They try their best to look elsewhere, seeking a job that’s more comfortable, higher-paying, or at least offers a better quality of life.
Even within Fermaton, I consider my knight order to be worse than a bottom-tier firm; it’s a total dumpster fire that no one in their right mind should ever join.
Just think about it.
The Knight Captain is a woman who gets fucked even during meals, and her main job is sucking and licking a cock in front of others until spit runs down her chin.
On top of that, they have to help with the Lord’s work, and free time is non-existent.
Even the uniform they have to wear while working is a bunny girl outfit.
—In other words, it’s just a Prostitute Knight Order.
If I had to describe their public image in one word, the rumors are right: "Prostitute Knight Order" fits perfectly.
They actually have those qualities, and the core of their duty is spreading their legs for Ruji.
In a workplace like this, who would dare try to join the knights?
Even Astarotte, who joined as the magical advisor, wears a robe to avoid being seen by others as much as possible. No woman has wanted to join the order.
Not a single person for the past two weeks.
And yet, someone is coming?
'Is she insane?'
Even by common sense, it’s incomprehensible.
Judging by logic, the very idea of wanting to join this knight order is absurd.
It’s my order, which is exactly why I can judge it more objectively.
A woman who wants to enlist must be one of three things.
One: A crazy bitch.
Two: A whore.
Three: A spy.
What further explanation is needed?
Laura proved the first case.
With an innocent face, she makes me do trashy things, and ever since she lost her virginity, she’s become a woman obsessed with sex, as if trying to make up for all the years she lived without it.
Whether that’s her own sense of responsibility toward the Fermaton family curse, or whether she was naturally lewd but never even held a man’s hand until she started sucking dick and awakened her true nature.
It’s a relief that Laura is an easy woman, but even from an objective standpoint, she is currently more than satisfied with her role.
Cases like Laura’s involve some kind of powerful "mission."
She has a mission to endure and overcome the fact that she’ll be fucked by me, lose her virginity, and engage in sexually degrading acts.
A woman like that is actually easy to handle.
If she’s a virgin prepared to have sex with me, I can recruit her by fulfilling that goal, just like I did with Laura.
...The problem is the other two cases.
'What if a real slut shows up?'
The second case: the slut.
'Since we’re being insulted as a Prostitute Knight Order, a real prostitute might actually come.'
No matter how much people curse my knight order, a real prostitute would be immune to those insults.
'That would be troublesome.'
I tried putting myself in their shoes.
Suppose Countess Zenith was recruiting for a "Cock Knight Order."
Since it’s a knight order, there would obviously be several men, and they’d have to live with their dicks out, licking her pussy or thrusting into her whenever Zenith called.
—Are you planning to make me a male whore?!
—50 million won a month. Deal?
—.......
Actually, that might not be so bad...?
'Get a grip, you lunatic.'
I’m the one paying the money right now.
I’m the employer.
The fact that Laura is quite beautiful and was a "virgin" was extremely important in her becoming my Knight Captain.
What if she hadn't been a virgin...?
'Honestly, I don't mind a one-night stand with a woman who’s already lost her virginity, but a total slut is a bit much.'
I’d rather stick it in Laura than in someone like that.
If Laura isn't available, I can stick it in Amy, or call any maid in the mansion for a virgin one-night stand.
Or, I could just find another woman in this mansion besides Laura to enjoy a night with.
Why would I go out of my way to welcome a woman who’s been passed around by hundreds of other men as my comrade?
'It would lower the dignity of Fermaton.'
—Members of your knight order may give birth to the next Fermaton heir. How could I allow a girl who rolled around selling her body on the streets into the family? I will not tolerate this.
Those weren't my words.
They were the words she spoke as a "noble."
Drip.
I finish my shower and get dressed.
I don't know what kind of person will show up, but "she" must have talked to the applicant first before I met her.
To see if she’s a woman worthy of sucking Ruji Fermaton’s cock.
Before meeting me, there’s a primary "filtering" process handled by someone else.
And then.
"Amy."
"Are you finished? I will dry you off."
Amy, who had been waiting outside the shower stall, brought a towel and wiped every corner of my body.
I don't know if it was like this before, but ever since she ate while staring at my underwear, she’s lost all hesitation regarding my naked body.
"That area is...."
"Wipe it."
"...Yes."
She wipes my cock with a touch far more cautious than when she wipes my chest or back.
The soft texture of the towel absorbs every drop of moisture from my dick, drying every nook and cranny, even inside the exposed glans.
"Ah...."
I had finished my shower, but in truth, I had been erect since I was in there.
Amy swallowed hard as she looked at my erect cock.
"Young Lord. The robe...."
"Right."
I put on the robe Amy handed me.
I pulled the belt tight, but my cock still stood tall, peeking its head out from the gap in the robe and soaring toward the sky.
Ruji’s cock was one that curved upward.
"Do you happen to know what Mother said?"
"The Countess...."
Amy glanced at me before speaking.
"...She did say that, at the very least, she is a woman who won't bring shame to Fermaton."
"Hmm."
Zenith passed her.
That means she’s at least not a prostitute.
However, even if her body is a virgin, her heart could be that of a political whore.
The third case.
A spy.
'A honey trap.'
"Tell her to come in."
As I always did, I sat on the sofa and set out the wine.
"......."
Currently.
Laura is not in this room.
Neither is Astarotte.
While I receive the guest, Laura will be in the Secret Chamber, learning magic from Astarotte.
Sex Magic.
* * *
"Are you really okay with this?"
"Yes."
Astarotte felt that this woman, Laura, who showed no hesitation whatsoever, was somehow strange.
"...Are you sure?"
"Of course. I belong to the Young Lord."
A rookie adventurer wearing a bunny girl outfit.
Her talent was something she hadn't boasted about to others yet, but in Astarotte’s eyes, it was no exaggeration to say she had "unprecedented" potential.
She wasn't sure about swordsmanship or close-quarters combat, but at least in the field of magic, Laura had a natural gift.
That talent...
"...Humans have limits. Once you master one type of magic, it might interfere with learning others."
Now, that talent could be funneled entirely into "Sex Magic," a field with an extremely limited direction.
A great mage who might have been able to drop meteors or raise massive ice walls could instead become a master of Sex Magic, reaching a level that would make a Succubus Queen blush.
"I'm asking seriously, what exactly do you like so much about the Young Lord?"
"Pardon?"
"You follow him so sincerely. It's more than just because you were given the position of Knight Captain. Do you... like him as a man?"
"...It's not exactly that."
Laura smiled faintly.
"...It's because I have to take responsibility."
"Responsibility?"
"Yes. There is something I must take responsibility for as myself."
Laura slowly turned her gaze toward the window.
There stood the Infinite Labyrinth, the symbol of the curse placed upon the old Count's castle, Fermaton.
"And.... Others might curse him as trash, but I've come to know Lord Ruji. He is... a false villain."
"A false villain.... You mean he has other intentions behind his evil persona?"
"Yes. He is just."
Laura paused for a moment, then continued with a smile.
"He just wants to have sex with many different women."
"......In the end, it's still just sex."
"That's right. And he just wants to have sex in more diverse ways. He wants to give jewelry to the women he wants to sleep with, he wants to make them stronger, and he just wants to make sure they keep having sex with him."
"Everything leads back to sex.... Sigh."
Astarotte was speechless.
"...Are you okay with that?"
"Pardon?"
"It's practically the same as being raped by the Young Lord every day."
"...I'm fine so far. Well, I don't know about others... but my body is quite sturdy in that regard. Ahaha."
Laura gave an awkward smile.
"...And, how should I put it, it's not like I necessarily hate it...."
"You don't hate it?"
"Yes. You'll change your mind too once you try it, Lady Astarotte. Though of course, you'd have to try it with the Young Lord. Lady Astarotte. ...Shall I ask him for you?"
"Ugh."
Astarotte’s face turned red in an instant.
"...If a cock like that goes inside, your body will surely be ruined."
"So you're saying it's okay to have sex as long as it doesn't hurt?"
"......That's not exactly what I meant. Sigh."
Astarotte covered her face with her hands.
"...Fine. I'll ask one last time. If you learn Sex Magic, as a side effect... you might become lewd...."
Grin.
Laura’s eyes curved into crescents.
"Can I ask you one thing?"
"What is it?"
"You said that if I learn Sex Magic, I can convert essence into mana. Then theoretically...."
Lick.
"...I can keep having sex without getting pregnant...?"
