Chapter Title: The Lewd Knight Dreams of NTR (2)
Scratch-scratch-
In the quiet room, only the faint sound of the pen moving echoed softly.
The mountain of documents piled up high were being processed one by one under Eugene's scrutiny.
"Marjan. Could I trouble you for a cup of black tea?"
Eugene spoke without even lifting his eyes from the papers, as if turning his head would waste precious time.
All Marjan had done today while Eugene handled the documents were minor chores like this—bringing black tea.
"Haa..."
As she prepared the tea, Marjan gazed at Eugene's back and let out a sigh tinged with complicated emotions.
Watching him work without rest made her realize how foolish it was to think she could force him to rest with drugs.
The gap in time created by putting Eugene to sleep.
If that void caused his plans to unravel, Marjan didn't have the confidence to take responsibility for it.
'I get that you're working hard... but isn't doing this every single day too much?'
There had definitely been about this many documents yesterday, yet they hadn't decreased at all.
No, it felt like the pile had only grown larger.
"...Hoo..."
Perhaps things wrapped up a bit quicker today. Eugene, who hadn't budged from his seat until the work was done, finally stood and stretched.
"Here you go, Eugene. Have some tea and take a break."
"Thanks. But the work's not finished yet, so I can't rest."
With that, Eugene moved the reviewed stack back to its original spot and began poring over them again, sheet by sheet.
Marjan blinked in confusion at Eugene's incomprehensible behavior.
"Eugene... aren't those the documents you just checked?"
Eugene nodded in response.
"Yeah, that's right. Reviewing them. This makes the fifth time, I think."
"...Fifth time? You've checked them five times already? And after all that, what more do you plan to do?!"
"You never know. If even the slightest flaw slips through, it could be disastrous. Just one more check."
Marjan realized the source of her unease as Eugene smiled faintly, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
'No wonder the work never decreases, no matter how much you do...!'
Finishing quickly didn't help.
If he reviewed everything over and over like this, the documents were bound to pile up.
Of course, the thorough preparation that came with it wasn't entirely bad.
But there were limits to everything.
What was the point of such grueling self-abuse for these reviews!
"..."
Seeing Eugene's sunken, lifeless eyes, drained of vitality, Marjan steeled her resolve.
'...I have to do it.'
She had to force him to sleep, no matter what.
Not for her own desires, but for Eugene's health—she absolutely had to.
'...You idiot. You don't even realize how off your condition is...'
She cursed herself for failing to notice Eugene's unstable state, even when they were alone together.
Right now, Eugene was rechecking the meticulously reviewed documents over and over, as if no rest was permitted to him.
'...Why are you pushing yourself this hard...?'
Marjan bit her lower lip.
She couldn't understand why Eugene was driving himself like this.
'...For Eugene's sake...!'
It had taken her a while to resolve herself, but action came swiftly.
Pop—!
Marjan pulled a vial from her bosom, uncorked it with her thumb, and poured the contents straight into Eugene's mouth.
"...!"
Eugene's eyes widened in shock at Marjan's sudden move, but only for a moment.
Lilith's words weren't an exaggeration after all—the stuff could put a bear to sleep. The instant he swallowed a sip, Eugene plunged into slumber.
Marjan bowed her head apologetically toward Eugene, slumped over the desk.
"I'm sorry, Eugene..."
She knew she'd overstepped her bounds.
But she didn't think it was wrong.
The usual Eugene would have reacted to even a surprise attack like this.
Yet now, he hadn't even properly registered what was happening until the drug was down his throat.
"...That means your body had truly reached its limit."
Marjan let out a bitter sigh as she brushed the hair from Eugene's eyes.
'...At this point, he'd probably sleep through anything I did...'
Gazing at his deeply sleeping form, indecent thoughts began to creep into Marjan's mind.
"Nngh...! This is no time for that."
She shook her head to dispel the irreverent notions and hoisted Eugene onto her back.
She wanted to move him to the bed so he could rest comfortably.
But it was a mistake.
'...So... solid.'
The feel of a man's body against her skin, the scent of Eugene wafting to her nose.
Gulp—
Marjan felt the barely suppressed indecent urges swelling massively within her.
'...A dream, huh.'
Having experienced lucid dreams a few times before, I recognized it immediately.
"Marjan..."
In the dream, I murmured her name.
The moment she slipped something into my mouth, I passed out—must've been a sleeping pill.
I could roughly guess why she'd done it.
'...She couldn't bear to watch any longer.'
I wasn't angry.
If anything, I felt sorry for her.
Given Marjan's fiercely loyal nature, laying hands on me must be tormenting her right now.
The fact that she'd done it anyway meant she saw my condition as gravely serious.
"...I haven't slept properly in quite a while."
I let out a short sigh.
Now that I recognized I was asleep, I could feel how much I'd been avoiding it lately.
Even resorting to pointless repeats of reviewing finished documents.
...The reason for that.
"This, huh."
I folded my arms and stared at the single sword floating before me.
Seems like it knew I'd end up here whenever I fell asleep unconsciously.
"...I didn't want to meet you."
I knew the sword called to me every time I thought of Her Highness the Princess.
But getting closer meant foreign emotions trying to swallow me whole, so I'd avoided contact as much as possible.
Hummm—
As I stood there motionless for a long time, the sword trembled as if urging me to grasp it.
'No idea how to wake up, and can't seem to dodge it either...'
I tried walking away, ignoring it, but this damned space—my dream—seemed determined to keep me bound to the sword; it felt completely sealed off.
"...No helping it, then."
I closed my eyes and exhaled deeply.
If it went this far to summon me, the sword clearly wanted something.
Steeling my mind against being consumed by emotions, I slowly reached out toward it.
'...Haa... I... I shouldn't... be doing this...'
Marjan swallowed hard as she gazed at Eugene sleeping peacefully on the bed.
The veins bulging on the back of his hand, the ink-stained fingertips, his slightly parted lips.
Nothing failed to make her heart race.
"...Eugene..."
Calling his name in a small voice, Marjan caressed his hand.
To a sleeping person...
Especially her lord's lover... she knew she shouldn't do this.
But knowing that didn't help her hold back.
On the contrary, the thrill of stealing her lord's lover pushed Marjan's long-suppressed lust straight to its limit.
Marjan carefully lifted Eugene's hand with both of hers and pressed her lips to it.
Mwah—
"Haa...♥"
A lascivious breath escaped Marjan's lips.
Eugene's hand carried an overwhelming presence compared to the gloves she'd used for self-pleasure.
Just kissing the back of his hand made her realize her panties were soaking as if she'd never worn them.
"Hngh... Mwah... Nngh...♥ ...Lu... Lucia... I'm sorry... forgive me..♥ ...For being such a... lewd... knight... I'm sorry..."
Apologizing to Lucia, she slipped his index finger into her mouth and slowly licked it with her tongue.
"Hnnngh...♥ Haaah... Nngh...♥"
Marjan savored his finger, imprinting Eugene's taste in her mouth.
"...Haa... Haa...♥ Eu... Eugene... I'm sorry... forgive me...♥"
Now apologizing to Eugene, Marjan could endure no longer. She withdrew his finger from her mouth, stood, and slid her panties down from under her skirt, slowly lowering her hips toward his hand.
Squelch—
The moment his finger touched her entrance, her legs clamped together as if electrocuted.
"...Haaaahhh!♥"
A moan burst out uncontrollably.
Squelch—squelch—
"Khng...! Hngghk♥... Hnngh...! ...It... touched...!♥ ...Eu... Eugene's...♥ finger...♥ ...in my... pussy...!!♥"
Each time Eugene's finger grazed her folds, her whole body twitched lightly, hot moans spilling forth.
Twitch—!
Was it instinctual male response to the female moans?
Something between the legs of the soundly sleeping Eugene began to stir.
"Ah... Aah...♥"
Marjan froze mid-motion, staring blankly at it.
Though she'd never experienced it firsthand, her devouring of hundreds of lewd books meant she knew exactly what that was between Eugene's legs.
"...Ah... Haaa... Th-this... I really... can't...♥"
Her words said no, but Marjan's hand slowly extended toward it.
