Chapter 220: Crying Out Love in the Center of the Lord's Castle
“Guwon, good morning. Good morning to you too, Leia.”
“Sleep well?”
When I came down to the dining hall with Leia, Sara and Diana greeted us with their usual expressions.
That’s strange. Why does Diana look so unfazed?
On the way down, I’d been agonizing over my predicament, cursing my past self.
How should I smooth things over with Diana?
No, maybe instead of trying to appease her, I should be more assertive. Tell her it’s her own damn fault her turn got pushed back.
No, that won’t work. It might be logically sound, but if Diana reacts emotionally, it’ll be a huge pain.
Should I just grab her hand before breakfast and drag her to the bedroom?
I had considered many options.
I was even prepared for Diana to start yelling the moment she saw me.
But what was this reaction? She looked completely normal.
Could it be that Diana wasn't the one who opened the door?
No, that’s impossible.
“Good morning, everyone.”
“Ah, um…”
As Leia greeted them with a smile, Diana blushed slightly and turned her head away.
That reaction… Yeah, it was definitely Diana who opened the door.
But for her to react like this… does that mean she’s surprisingly willing to accept it?
Come to think of it, that makes sense.
Diana felt genuinely sorry for Leia, so she might be willing to let this one slide.
Yes. That must be it. I was underestimating the magnanimity of our great Archmage.
Or maybe she and Leia had already talked things through.
After their talk, Diana probably came to my room just in case, saw Leia's masterful technique in her Gumiho form, and got so flustered she ran away without even thinking to close the door.
Imagining that scene brought a small, warm smile to my face.
Getting all flustered and running away at the sight of sex, at her age.
Diana really is cute.
“Diana.”
“…What is it?”
When I spoke to her, still smiling to myself, Diana answered without even looking at me.
…Huh? Now that I think about it, she’s not making eye contact.
She wasn’t yelling furiously like she usually would, and her voice was as calm as ever, but she refused to meet my gaze.
I’d thought she was just looking down to drink her tea, but now I see that wasn’t it.
I leaned down, moving my face into her line of sight.
Diana immediately whipped her head to the side, avoiding my eyes.
I moved my torso again, shifting my face into her new line of sight, and again, Diana turned away.
As if I’d lose. Your head versus my torso. I’ll show you which one is faster.
And so, I began to move my upper body in a flashy display in front of her.
“Hey! What is it?! Mmph!”
Heh. I win.
A mage trying to beat a martial artist in agility. A hundred years… no, she’s lived longer than that. Ten thousand years is too soon for you to win!
Finally forced to meet my gaze, Diana shouted with a hint of anger.
Taking advantage of the moment her face was still, I lightly pressed my lips against hers.
“You haven’t been looking at me. Is something wrong?”
“W-Wrong? There’s… nothing of the sort…”
Diana, losing all her momentum after a single kiss, is cute too.
Anyway, it seems they really did talk about it beforehand.
Even when I asked her directly, she didn’t mention what happened yesterday.
“With Diana first thing in the morning… Oh? Guwon, why did you come down with Leia, by the way?”
“Remember when you ran off with me? I ended up doing it with you twice in a row. That means your turn got pushed back by one. Right, Diana?”
“U-Uhm…”
Now confident that Diana had accepted it, I could say it so openly.
Diana didn’t look particularly happy about it, but she nodded with a bitter expression, as if she had no choice.
“Ah, is that so! Hmm…? Oh, I see.”
Hearing my answer, Sara nodded with a meaningful look on her face.
“Anyway, our Diana is so proper about these things.”
“Who’s ‘our Diana’? Who?”
As I stroked Diana’s hair, she replied with a slight pout. But the fact that she didn’t push my hand away was just so typically Diana.
“Hm? She’s not our Diana?”
“U-Ugh!”
When you’ve got nothing to say, you resort to the pat-pat attack.
Undeterred by her pouting, I continued to stroke her hair. In response, Diana reached out and started messing up my hair.
Haha, go right ahead. I’m not the type to care about my hair!
Anyway, what a relief. I was seriously on edge.
Now I can finally eat in peace.

“Are you planning on skipping the dungeon again today?”
After we finished our meal, Diana brought it up, her face anxious.
Don’t make that face. It makes me want to tease you.
But she had graciously overlooked my night with Leia. I suppose I could show some generosity in return.
The members of the Mage Association eavesdropping with glittering eyes were a bit concerning, but this wasn’t their Diana, she was our Diana.
“Hmm… Shall we go, then? To the dungeon.”
To be honest, even if we went, I didn’t think I’d be able to hunt with the same motivation as before.
I wish someone would give me a goal.
If this were a game, where a final boss like the Demon King threatening the world was waiting at the end of the dungeon, I might feel a little more motivated.
But Diana, who’s lived for so long, already shot that idea down, so it’s sad that I can’t even hope for it.
“Ah, I’m sorry. Could we postpone going to the dungeon until tomorrow?”
Unexpectedly, however, it was Sara who said that.
“W-Why, Sara? Did something happen?”
“Well, it’s not that something happened… I’m sorry, Diana.”
“It’s rare for you to have something to do, Sara. What is it?”
“It’s not really an errand… but anyway, going to the dungeon isn’t urgent, is it?”
“Well, I suppose not. In that case, Diana, sorry, but let’s go to the dungeon tomorrow.”
“U-Ugh!”
Don’t look at me with such a resentful glare.
It’s not my fault this time, is it?
“J-Just you wait!”
As she was dragged away by the Mage Association members, Diana once again spouted a line straight out of a generic villain.
“Alright, Sara has something to do. Leia, do you have any plans for today?”
“Yes. If we’re not going to the dungeon today, I was thinking of visiting the orphanage.”
“Then let’s go together.”
“Okay!”
She really is an angel. That’s the most dazzling smile.
How many people in the world can smile so happily just by being able to spend time together?
I’m a lucky guy.
“Ah, I’ll go with you.”
“Huh? What about your errand?”
“It’s not something I have to do right this second. Anyway, that’s okay, right? It’s okay, isn’t it, Leia?”
If you don’t have to do it right now, couldn’t we have just gone to the dungeon?
Well, it’s not like she’d do this just to screw Diana over. She must have her reasons.
“Yes.”
And so, the three of us decided to go to the orphanage together.
“Ah, Master Guwon.”
Just as we were about to leave the mansion, Vanessa called out to me, looking slightly more tired than usual for some reason.
“Yeah?”
“Um… well… be careful… no, it’s nothing.”
“What is it? That’s not like you, Vanessa. What’s wrong?”
“My apologies. It is nothing.”
What was that about? Now I’m worried for no reason.
I understood why Vanessa had reacted that way the moment we stepped outside the mansion.
She was staring. Intensely.
What the hell is Silvia doing?
A daughter of a high noble family, a knight of the Royal Guard, was peeking just her head out from behind a wall, secretly watching me like a stalker.
She might think she was hidden and watching in secret, but her gaze was so intense it was impossible not to notice.
“Hey. Silvia. If you have something to say…”
Ah, she ran away.
What is she trying to accomplish? Does she plan on becoming a full-blown stalker?
Well, I’ll just ignore it. No matter how hard she tries, breaking into Diana’s mansion is impossible… Ah, so that’s why Vanessa looked so tired.
To make that superhuman butler wear such an expression… just how many times did she try to break in last night?
I decided to just go on my way, ignoring Silvia’s spying.
For now, it seemed she was only watching, posing no further threat.
Besides, she runs away if I even try to approach her. What kind of threat could she be?
And so, from our visit to the temple, to taking care of the children at the orphanage, to walking through the slums and healing the sick, I felt Silvia’s gaze on me the entire time.
What does she want?
Is this her way of getting me to notice her? Or does she think that if she just stays near me like this, she’ll eventually get a chance to sleep with me?
Is that really okay with you? A noble lady and a knight of the Royal Guard.
Wasn’t your job to stand by the princess’s side and protect her?
Judging by the armor she was wearing, it didn’t seem like she’d completely quit her post as a knight.
Well, it’s none of my business.
Honestly, the intense stare constantly poking the back of my head was incredibly distracting, but that was all it was.
In the end, Silvia tailed us all the way back to the mansion.
What happened after we got back, you ask?
I don’t know. I assume Vanessa is taking care of it.
Thanks to that, I haven’t seen Vanessa around.
“Did you have fun, playing without me?”
More than that, I was worried about Diana’s mental state.
Since we hadn’t been going to the dungeon lately, she looked like she was on the verge of another mental breakdown and might run away from home again.
We absolutely have to go to the dungeon tomorrow, no matter what.
For tonight, I should take care of her… no, wait. Diana’s turn was pushed back, right? So what’s the order? Diana was pushed back, so after Leia, is it Sara’s turn?
Or was it just a one-time concession to Leia, meaning tonight is Diana’s turn?
I don’t know.
Ah, screw it. Whoever’s turn it is will come to my room while I wait.
I gave up on thinking about it and decided to leave the decision to the women.
The one who came to my room was Sara.
So it was Sara’s turn after all.
I guess that makes sense. Leia wasn’t the only one whose turn was skipped because of my little escapade with Diana.
“Guwon.”
As soon as she entered the room, Sara wrapped her arms around my neck and gave me a deep kiss.
Sara was the tallest of the three, but she was still much shorter than me.
Standing like this, she had to stand on her tiptoes and press her body as close to mine as possible just for our lips to meet.
Feeling the full length of her firm, supple body against mine, I slowly began to undress her.
With a soft rustle, Sara’s clothes slid to the floor, slowly revealing her slender, model-like body.
Once she was completely naked, Sara unwrapped her arms from my neck and began to remove my clothes, one piece at a time.
“Mmm… haah. You’re already hard? Are you excited?”
When I was exposed, she kept kissing me while taking my cock in one hand and beginning to stroke it up and down.
Then, she pulled her lips away, gave me a cute look, and slowly knelt.
Just as Sara, now kneeling with my Dick right before her eyes, slowly opened her mouth and took the tip inside, the door suddenly burst open.
“A-A-Again today, after yesterday?!”
It was Diana.
“D-Diana?! What are you doing here…?!”
“What?! You ask me what?! Yesterday you stood me up for Leia, and you two were… were… and now today it’s Sara! And Sara, you’re also…!”
Diana yelled, her face a mixture of confusion, embarrassment, and anger, not knowing what to do.
Probably all of the above.
Her eyes spinning in her head, Diana suddenly charged at me.
“W-Wait a minute! Diana?!”
“It is my turn today!”
She tackled me, pushing me onto the bed.
Honestly, under normal circumstances, Diana wouldn’t have been able to push me over, but I had been completely relaxed, about to enjoy Sara’s service, and her surprise attack sent me down helplessly.
Diana then straddled my groin.
“Wait! Didn’t we already settle this?!”
“Settle what! Do you have any idea how I felt when I opened the door yesterday! You… you inhuman beast!”
Diana shouted, lifting her hips slightly and reaching a hand under her skirt.
A moment later, an incredible pleasure enveloped my cock.
I couldn’t see it under her dress, but it was obvious that I was inside her.
“Hey, wait. This is way too aggressive. Sara’s right here!”
“…Eh?!”
It seemed she had been momentarily blinded by rage.
Hearing my words, she turned her head toward Sara as if just realizing what she’d done, and then began to tremble violently.
“Hyaaaaaaaaaaah!”
Ah, her switch has been flipped.
