Chapter 212: Crying Out Love in the Center of the Lord's Castle
Grind.
The moment Silvia knelt and spoke, a harsh sound came from Sara’s mouth.
That came from Sara’s mouth, right? Not from my arm?
I wanted to believe it wasn't. Not that it made it hurt any less.
No, I’m not kidding, this actually hurts.
“S-Sara? Could you maybe loosen your grip a little?”
I’m losing circulation. No, I think it’s going to break. Aaaah! It’s breaking, it’s breaking, it’s breaking!
After I tapped her hand frantically, Sara finally eased up a little.
If I roll up my sleeve, I’m sure there’s a hand-shaped bruise under there.
But Sara didn’t look the least bit sorry.
Instead, she glared at me with a murderous expression.
This must be what they mean by a look that could kill.
“Please give me a chance to defend myself.”
“…Fine. Let’s hear it.”
She was even using formal speech. She was really pissed.
“I don’t think it’s my fault that other women come seeking me out. Being this amazing isn’t a crime, is it?”
Sara in front of me, Vanessa standing behind her, and even Silvia, who had just begged me to make her my woman, all stared at me with dumbfounded expressions.
Why are you all looking at me like that? It’s the truth, isn’t it? Did I say something wrong?
You might not know it, but I’m a hot commodity. Women swoon at my slightest touch. In a sexual sense.
Especially you, Silvia. You shouldn’t be looking at me like that. What do you think you came here for?
“So, this woman suddenly shows up and says something like that, and you’re telling me you have absolutely no idea why, other than the fact that you’re just so amazing?”
“No. Actually, she’s… she’s the one I told you about before, the one I created that erogenous zone for… Aaaargh!”
This time, Sara started pinching my side.
“Stop being so dramatic… This is all your fault!”
No, I’m not being dramatic, it really hurts when you do that.
You’re pinching me because you want it to hurt, aren’t you?
“But still! I was going to turn her down anyway, so this is unfair!”
The moment I said that, the strength left Sara’s hand.
Haa… I really thought she was going to rip the flesh from my side.
I miss my angel. I wish she were here to gently pat me with her soft hands.
This will probably heal before she gets back, won’t it?
Damn it. Having a high natural recovery rate sucks at times like these.
“You’re really going to turn her down?”
“O-Of course. It’s the only thing to do.”
“Then why are you stuttering?”
“It’s just my first time in a situation like this, so it feels like a bit of a waste… No, that’s not it. How could I even think such a thing with my three beautiful ladies waiting for me? Of course I have to refuse.”
That feeling just now. That was unmistakably killing intent.
Sara did say she’d accept other women when she confessed to me, so I was just joking around.
Was she only referring to Diana and Leia back then? No, judging by her tone, that wasn’t it.
So is she angry now that another woman is actually trying to get involved? That seems more likely. I guess it’s only natural.
“Then hurry up and do it. Don’t you want to finish what we were doing?”
Once I confirmed I would refuse, Sara’s eyes finally softened, her speech reverted to being informal, and she even acted a little cute.
Women are terrifying. If it weren’t my beautiful Sara, I’d probably have developed a distrust of all women.
By the way, weren’t you vehemently opposed to doing it in the butt just a moment ago?
Are you so determined to get rid of another woman that you’re willing to offer up your ass? Or did you just want to do it all along?
Well, whatever. I can find that out later by checking her reaction while we’re doing it.
For the record, I’m confident she’ll like it.
This isn’t just a gut feeling. I trust my Sex Analyze skill.
“So, for that reason, I’m sorry but…”
“I beg of you!”
“What on earth is the reason for… Whoa! Ha! Dodged it… Wait! Let’s solve this with words!”
Seeing Sara’s hand dart toward my side again, I tried to dodge spectacularly.
But Sara was much faster. I might have dodged once, but I couldn’t dodge a second time. Once again, my side was captured in her grasp.
Thankfully, she hadn’t squeezed her fingers yet, but her eyes were threatening to do so at any moment.
“Explain.”
“I’m just purely curious, I only want to hear her story.”
“And you have no other intentions?”
“Of course not. As if I’d dare.”
“…I’ll trust you.”
I was finally able to free my side from Sara’s hand.
You were scared, weren’t you, my dear side? I’ll never let you be taken hostage again.
I naturally raised both hands to my waist to guard my sides and turned to question Silvia again.
“Alright then. Let’s at least hear your reason. Miss Silvia. I was kind enough to create an erogenous zone for you. Are you telling me that’s not enough to satisfy you?”
“I am truly grateful for the kindness you showed me. But… but… no matter how many times I was with other men, I could never experience that feeling again.”
“Well, it’s just sad for other men to be compared to me.”
“No. That’s not it. Prin… Her Highness said that, as I continued, I should be able to feel at least a weak climax. Even if it wasn’t as strong as with you, Lord Guwon. But no matter what I did, I couldn’t climax with any other man.”
Huh? What’s this now? She can’t climax?
…Wait, did I mess something up?
“Explain in detail.”
“Even if you ask me to… I just can’t feel a climax.”
“You can feel pleasure, though?”
“Yes. There was no problem with that. But no matter how long the pleasure lasted, I never reached a climax. …I see. The pleasure I could get from other men was much weaker, but it felt similar to when you first tried to break the skill’s effect on me with just foreplay.”
After hearing Silvia’s words, I finally realized what the problem was.
Yep. My bad.
In other words, it’s like this: the erogenous zone I created isn’t enough on its own to generate the level of pleasure needed to climax. It’s probably because the power of my Saint’s Holy Water was halved due to our level difference.
This is completely my mistake. To think I’d repeat this kind of error after failing to make someone climax with Saint’s Touch.
The only reason she felt pleasure was because her body was sensitive and unaccustomed to it. So even if it looked like she was feeling it on the surface, it never reached the point of orgasm.
Damn it. If I had just explained things to Diana in more detail, this wouldn’t have happened.
Diana would have identified the problem immediately and stopped me when I said I was going to create an erogenous zone.
I only gave her a brief summary because I thought explaining my experience with Silvia in detail would just make Diana angry for longer, but that brevity has led to this disaster.
“Wait a moment.”
Sara, who had been listening quietly from the side, stepped forward.
“So you’re saying that you want to become Guwon’s woman, just for the sake of pleasure?”
“…Just for pleasure? Did you say just for pleasure?”
Hearing Sara’s words, Silvia’s eyes blazed as if she were about to lunge at her.
“A normal woman like you wouldn’t understand! Someone like you who can enjoy pleasure as a woman normally would! Do you know what it’s like to live your entire life without knowing pleasure?! Do you know what it felt like to taste a woman’s joy for the very first time?!”
Silvia shouted with a force that was unbelievable coming from her small frame.
Her desperate cry, as if she were coughing up blood, was so intense that even Sara took a step back.
“Hey. I get how you feel, but you don’t have to become my woman. The reason you can’t feel it is probably because the skill’s power is weakened by our level difference. Go and wait a little. Once I raise my level…”
“No. After the erogenous zone was created and I was with other men, I realized one thing for certain. You are the only one who can make me feel a woman’s joy, Lord Guwon. Please. Make me your woman. I will do anything for it.”
“I understand your circumstances are difficult, but I’m already a man who has promised his future to three women. You heard it too, right? Diana declared that I was her man. Anyone could see that was her way of saying ‘He’s mine, so don’t even think about touching him.’”
“…I, too, am indebted to Lady Diana. I am not making the shameless request of forming a formal relationship with her partner.”
“…Huh? What do you mean by that?”
“I’m not asking for a formal relationship. Just keep me by your side as one of your women. And whenever you think of it, just once in a while, please let me feel a woman’s joy. That alone is enough. If you tell me to lick your feet, I will lick them. If you tell me to take off my clothes, I will. So please, just let me stay by your side.”
What kind of condition is that?
She was using a lot of words, but to put it simply, she was saying I could treat her like a sex slave.
For a noble to volunteer to be a sex slave… was she really that desperate?
As I grasped the situation, my resolve began to weaken a little.
Of course, the fact that her terms were so ideal from a man’s perspective had a tiny bit of influence, but that was a minor reason.
If it’s just sex I want, I can have plenty of that with my girls.
The main reason my heart softened was the thought that I couldn’t just leave a girl this desperate on her own.
Did the Goddess bring me to this world with the Saint job to save girls like her?
As I was uncharacteristically lost in serious thought, I heard Sara’s voice from beside me.
“Guwon…”
Right. What am I thinking, with my girls right here?
Whatever the reason, the right thing to do is to refuse.
I feel bad for Silvia, whom I carelessly introduced to pleasure, and I feel bad for the Goddess who sent me here with this Saint job.
But I felt too guilty to be cruel and direct, so I decided to phrase it a bit more gently.
“Wait, aren’t you a noble? Your family, and you yourself are a knight of the Royal Guard or something. Can you really just throw around conditions like that?”
“It doesn’t matter. To taste a woman’s joy, I am prepared to cast anything aside.”
I should have known from how she immediately stripped when I told her to, or how she ran off right after I made the erogenous zone.
It seems she’s the type to drop everything and chase after one thing once she gets fixated on it.
“What kind of nonsense is that? Let’s say you’re prepared, but what about Princess Felicia? Aren’t you supposed to be her aide or guard or something?”
A knight of the Royal Guard was here, not in the royal capital.
There was no other explanation.
“Her Highness understood my decision to live as a woman, rather than as a knight. She sent me off with a smile, which is why I was able to come here.”
Come to think of it, Silvia wasn’t wearing armor right now.
Her clothes looked expensive, but for a noble, they were simple and light.
Surely she didn’t quit being a knight altogether, did she?
In any case, it seemed she had come here with true resolve.
But that didn’t mean I could accept her.
“And your family approved of this?”
“Th-That is…”
As expected, she was at a loss for words.
Of course. I could understand the free-spirited Felicia approving, but there was no way a noble family would approve of one of their own living the life of a sex slave.
No, honestly, the fact that Felicia sent her off with a smile bothered me. That Felicia, smiling? Isn’t she plotting something again?
“Right? They didn’t approve, did they?”
“But no matter what my family says, my decision will not waver!”
“That’s not the problem. If you live a life like that by my side, what do you think your family will think of me, and how will they try to deal with me? Of course, with Diana around, the worst-case scenario won’t happen, but it’s sure to cause trouble, right?”
“……”
It seemed Silvia hadn’t thought that far ahead. She bit her lower lip and couldn’t say another word.
It was obvious she’d just rushed here on impulse, with blood rushing to her head.
She probably wasn’t in the right state of mind to think so rationally.
“…Then if I properly resolve the issue with my family, does that mean you will accept me as your woman?”
But it seemed she hadn’t given up.
“I understand. I will go and settle things with them at once.”
Silvia shot to her feet and ran straight outside.
“H-Hey! Wait!”
By the time I tried to stop her, Silvia was already gone.
Could you at least let a person finish what they’re saying…
Though their types were completely different, in a strange way, the knight resembled her friend.
