Chapter 320: Guwon's Counterattack
Chapter 320: Guwon's Counterattack
“No. You and Silvia are different.”
“In what way?”
“For starters, Silvia likes me. That’s the biggest difference. I’m not interested in a purely physical relationship.”
Maybe back when I was young and foolish, but not now.
“Oh my. But I like you too, darling.”
“That’s not what I mean. It’s different with you. Watch. Silvia, what do you think of me?”
“Eek?! Th-that is… I, I… li… augh…”
Silvia was too embarrassed to answer properly, especially in front of someone else—her friend, no less.
But this was enough.
“See?”
“Darling, this Felicia adores you, too. I have, ever since that first moment you held me.”
As I spoke to her with confidence, Felicia suddenly put on an air of pure innocence.
“I’m not kidding around!”
“Oh my. Neither am I.”
“In the first place, would a girl who claims to like me sleep with just anyone? Weren’t you with another guy just before I got here?!”
“That was just to soothe my lonely body since you won’t hold me. There were no feelings involved. And if you want to get technical, Silvia is only with you for the plea—”
“Still, Silvia only sleeps with me. I’m an incredibly possessive guy, you see. I really hate it when a woman I’ve held is held by another man.”
“What are you talking about? Before Silvia met you, she…”
“I’m not petty enough to obsess over a woman’s past. The present is what matters. Now that Silvia knows I don’t like it, she will never sleep with another man besides me. That’s the crucial difference between you and her.”
“Well, I just found out now. So from this moment on, I’ll…”
“You’ll stop having sex? Is that even possible for you?”
“Hmph. But you said you don’t acknowledge Silvia as your woman, like you do with Lady Diana, right? Forbidding her from having sex with other men is…”
Finding it difficult to rashly declare she’d quit sex, Felicia tried to change the subject with a pout.
“That’s right. I’m a piece of trash. And you’re a nympho trying to sleep with a piece of trash like me.”
“Ngh!”
Felicia’s body trembled again.
…Huh? Again? That was definitely the face of someone who felt something, right?
It happened before, too. Just why…
But before I could continue that line of thought, Felicia spoke first, breaking my concentration.
“Th-then…”
“Hm?”
“What if I really only sleep with you from now on? Will you hold me then?”
Whether she had fallen for my provocation or not, Felicia repeated the words she’d left unfinished earlier.
“Pfft. You?”
“Oh? Are you looking down on me? I may not look it, but my self-control is quite exceptional.”
“You don’t look it at all.”
“That’s just because I usually don’t bother exercising it.”
What’s with that logic? Is this like one of those people who say, “I only do poorly because I don’t study; if I put my mind to it, I’d be great”?
“So, how about it? If you promise to hold me, I’ll stop sleeping with other men from now on. It’s not like there’s any other man who can make me feel as good as you, anyway.”
She’s coming on unusually strong.
Not sleep with other men? Even if I did agree to take her, how many times would I even… Ah, don’t tell me…
“Hey. I think you’re misunderstanding something.”
“Hm?”
“I don’t sleep with Silvia every day. In fact, it’s incredibly rare. A week or two can easily pass by. And since you don’t travel with me, the gaps will be even longer than with Silvia. You think you can endure that?”
“Of course. I’m a woman who can do anything she sets her mind to.”
Felicia must have thought I was taking the bait, because she answered with a smirk.
But I wasn’t just saying this for no reason.
“I find that hard to believe…”
“Aw, come on, darling. Don’t be like that. Just take a chance on me and trust me this once.”
“Fine. Then try not to be with any other man until you see my face again. If you can do that, I’ll think about taking you.”
“Really? For real?”
“Yeah. For real.”
“Alright. Is that a promise?”
“Of course. I’m a man who keeps his promises.”
I nodded with a nonchalant expression.
Hah. With this, I can finally get rid of Felicia for good.
Of course, I didn’t have the slightest intention of sleeping with her.
Felicia probably agreed so easily to not sleep with other men for two reasons.
First, she must think she’ll see my face again very soon.
She’d have to come back to retrieve her equipment, after all.
But I had no intention of coming back, even to get the gear.
I could just have the powerful Vanessa go and retrieve it. What’s the problem?
And second, even if she couldn’t hold back, she probably thought she could deceive me.
She could just sleep with another man and tell me she didn’t.
But I can see people’s levels with Analyze.
It’s impossible for her to hide the fact that she slept with another guy from me.
What if Felicia really doesn’t sleep with another man?
Come on, no way. That Felicia? Not sleeping with men? Get real.
Especially when she has no idea when she’ll see me again. It’s possible we might never see each other again for the rest of our lives.
Still, if she really didn’t sleep with any other man despite all that, I suppose I’d think about sleeping with her. Think about it, and that’s all.
“Let’s see how well you can hold back.”
Though I didn’t believe her in the slightest, I gave Felicia a smile.
“Hehe. Just you watch, darling. When I say I’ll do something, I do it.”
Perhaps because we had made a promise, Felicia let me go easily this time.
“Well then, goodbye, darling. It’s a shame I couldn’t be held by you this time, but since we made a promise, I’ll have to be satisfied with this. I’ll endure by reliving the memory of your touch until then. See you next time.”
And so, we were able to part ways, smiling at each other.
“…Sir Guwon.”
As we got into the carriage, Silvia spoke to me in a hesitant voice.
“Yeah?”
“Felicia really does what she says she’ll do.”
Hey, hey. Why are you suddenly scaring me like that?
“Besides, enduring for just a few days is…”
Phew. Of course.
It seemed Silvia also thought I would be coming back in person to get the equipment.
“A few days? I have no intention of coming back myself to get the gear.”
“Wh-what? Then when you said ‘until you see my face again’…”
“Nobody knows when that will be.”
“……”
Perhaps feeling sorry for her friend, Silvia was left speechless with a dumbfounded look on her face.
“More importantly, Silvia.”
“Y-yes?”
“I just said that to Felicia because I couldn’t think of anything else to say, but it’s not that I don’t think of you as my woman.”
“Eek?! Eh?!”
“Of course, I’m sorry I can’t treat you the same way I treat Diana and the others. But I still think of you as my woman.”
“Uwaah… aughhh. Y-yeees…”
As I pulled Silvia into a sideways hug, her somewhat serious expression melted into a goofy, blissful one.
I wasn’t just trying to gloss over what happened with Felicia.
I was just saying what I wanted to say.
I couldn’t have Silvia worrying her heart out over something like that.
I already felt bad enough about how I was treating her as it was.
“You have returned.”
“Was everything alright?”
When we returned to the mansion, everyone was gathered as if they had been waiting for us.
Well, considering Felicia’s track record, I guess it was an unavoidable reaction.
“Guwon. Over here.”
Leia grabbed my arm and buried her nose in my chest.
Haaah. My angel is so healing. Did she miss me that much?
“The scent of another… aroused woman…”
But after sniffing me a few times, Leia suddenly muttered those words.
“L-Leia?! No! It’s not like that! Wait a second! I can explain! Silvia and Vanessa were with me the whole time! Nothing happened! Right, Vanessa?!”
“Correct. It appeared Princess Felicia was also under the effect of Sir Guwon’s skill, and Sir Guwon merely made Princess Felicia climax with his hand in order to release her. He avoided all of the princess’s other temptations.”
“Guwon! What were you thinking, using a skill on the princess…! You haven’t seen her in ages! Did she go crazy or something?”
“No. I just applied some Saint’s Holy Water to make her suffer a bit. It only made her more sensitive, so there was no real problem.”
Honestly, the whole reason I only took Silvia with me was to hide the fact that I’d used a skill, but I was found out from the very beginning.
A Beastkin’s nose really is something else.
Fortunately, our super-butler Vanessa was held in extremely high regard, so once she vouched for me, the suspicious glares sent my way quickly dissipated.
“Thank goodness… You really startled me, Guwon.”
Leia said, rubbing her body against me as I held her.
Having her chest press against me was pure bliss, but because of what just happened, it somehow reminded me of an animal.
Don’t cats do this to mark their scent on you?
Could it be that my angel is trying to get rid of Felicia’s lingering scent on my body… No. There’s no way my angel would go that far.
In any case, I was the one who was startled.
I’d better not even think about trying to deceive my angel ever again.
“Is that so. Then, did anything else of note happen?”
“Yes. Aside from my Sir Guwon groping my breasts because he was bored, not particularly.”
“Wait! Vanessa! Why would you say it like that?!”
“I believe I mentioned that I would tell Lady Diana.”
That’s why I apologized right away!
“You there. I believe I’ve told you this before. Do you recall what I said would happen if you laid a hand on Vanessa’s body again? And what was that? You groped her because you were bored?”
“Wait! Vanessa’s twisting my words! That makes me sound like a total piece of trash! At first, I was just trying to tease her, but her guard was so solid that I got a little competitive and tried to do whatever it took to surprise her…!”
That Vanessa deliberately said it that way to create a misunderstanding and screw me over!
That petty woman! Just because I tried to play a little prank!
I glared at Vanessa as I made my excuses, but she just stood there silently with her usual expressionless face.
“So you’re saying you indulged in her breasts. Those breasts. I suppose I understand. Vanessa does have quite a magnificent pair. So. Is that the end of your excuses?”
“W-wait, Diana. You’re blinded by your rage about chests right now, you can’t make a rational judgment!”
“What are you talking about? I am perfectly calm. And why would I be enraged about chests in the first place? Once I grow up, I’ll be…!”
“That’s when you grow up. Right now…”
“…Right now, what is it?”
“N-no, nothing. I was just saying that when you grow up you’ll be beautiful and mature, but right now you’re cute and adorable.”
“Hmph. You’re quite witty, aren’t you?”
“Haha. I’m something, aren’t I?”
“Mm. How about you use that wit to say a few last words to the son you’ll never see again?”
“Calm down, Diana! He’s not just my son! He’s our son! Sara! Leia! Help me stop Diana!”
“Don’t tell me you thought I wasn’t angry?”
“Hehe. Everyone, don’t be too hard on him. Sir Guwon was just being a little more playful than usual…”
“What’s with that attitude! Is that confidence! The confidence that you think I can’t win?!”
Thankfully, my angel tried to cover for me, but it only ended up fanning the flames of Diana’s rage.
Dammit. If it’s come to this…
“Diana!”
“Wha—Heek!”
I groped Diana’s chest.
“W-wait, ngh! In a place like this!”
“I’ve told you so many times that I love your chest too, Diana. This chest belongs to my beloved woman! Take pride in it!”
“Ah, haah! I get it! Heek! I get it, so let go!”
As I desperately groped her chest, Diana’s anger instantly subsided, and only sweet moans escaped her lips.
Only after confirming this did I remove my hands from her body.
Did I manage to overcome the crisis?
“You! Are you an idiot! In a-a place like this! To do this to me in a place like this…!”
The moment my hands were off her, Diana started patting my chest lightly.
Thank god. I’m saved.
She’s still angry, so how am I saved?
The reason she’s angry is different now. At the very least, the crisis facing my son has been averted.
Make her angry for a different reason so she forgets the original reason she was mad.
I really am a genius…!
Even as I was being lightly pummeled by Diana, a smile unknowingly spread across my face.
And, of all things, it seemed Sara saw it.
“Now you even have a hobby of getting off on being hit…”
“Huh? N-no!”
“I’m sorry… Have I been hitting you too much…?”
“N-no! Don’t make that face! Don’t apologize!”
Apologizing for hitting me is fine, but why are you getting the wrong idea and feeling remorseful at a time like this?!
It’s not true! I’m not some pervert who likes being hit! Don’t misunderstand!
“I’m sorry… From now on, I won’t hit… hmm? Now that you have that hobby, should I be hitting you more?”
“I told you, that’s not it!”
Sara’s saying some scary things!
In the end, I had to spend a good while clearing up Sara’s misunderstanding as well.
