Chapter 592: The Butler's True Feelings
“Hmph!”
The next morning.
Sara, who hadn’t gotten her way last night, had her back turned to me with a pouting face.
Sara, my dear. After we spent the entire night kissing and sucking and doing all sorts of things, don’t you think it’s a little ridiculous to be pouting now?
Especially since our lower halves were still connected.
“I told you not to pout. Besides, it’s true you were the one who made me finish with just your feet, right? It was amazing, I’m telling you.”
“…Better than Leia?”
“Of course!”
For the record, there wasn’t a shred of falsehood in that statement.
Of course, Sara’s technique couldn’t beat Leia’s.
No matter how fast a learner Sara was, she was no match for Leia, who—perhaps due to her Gumiho nature—possessed an incredible, innate talent for it without ever being taught.
But Sara had her own appeal. The synergy between her cool, aloof appearance and her slightly clumsy attempts to please me was incredibly good.
And when she becomes more skilled and teases me while she serves me, that will create an even better synergy with her cool looks.
In the end, both Sara and Leia are so good that it’s impossible to say one is better than the other.
The reason I could definitively say Sara was better was purely based on yesterday’s situation.
After all, Leia had only stroked me a little over my pants under the table, while Sara and I had gone all the way.
So, it wasn’t a lie to say she was better. Yep.
“…Suspicious.”
But despite my immediate answer, Sara sent a doubtful look my way.
“Why? What is?”
“It’s not like you to just declare that I was better. You’re the one who’s always spouting things like ‘you’re both the best’ or ‘I love you both equally’.”
It seemed my quick reply had backfired.
She’s not actually a mind reader, is she? Sometimes she really scares me.
“B-But you really were better, Sara.”
“…Hmph. Then, am I better at it than Leia?”
“……”
Despite my desperate attempts to convince her, Sara ended up asking the one question that struck at the heart of the matter.
“Hey. Guwon. Why aren’t you answering?”
“Sara, listen. Leia’s a Gumiho, so… It’s okay! You have your own good points…!”
“Agh! I knew it! Let’s do it again! …Ngh! Hnngh!”
Sara tried to scramble up, as if to challenge me to another footjob, but I grabbed her by the waist and swiftly pulled her back down.
Sara, who had raised her knees and pulled halfway off me, was forced to take me all the way back in, her body trembling with pleasure.
“Do it again? I told you it was good. And you too!”
“Hnngh! Hah! Hey! Sto—Hnngh!”
As I began to move my hips, Sara frowned and tried to scold me, but contrary to her furrowed brow, her eyes began to glaze over.
“You like it better this way than with your feet, don’t you? Don’t pretend you don’t want this.”
“N-No… Hah!”
“No? Can’t you hear this sound?”
“Th-That’s… Hah! From last night… Nngh!”
I deliberately thrust harder, making the sticky, wet sounds from where we were joined louder and clearer as I questioned her. Her face turned bright red—whether from embarrassment or arousal, I couldn’t tell—and she started making excuses.
“Nope. From what I can tell, this is fresh, warm love juice that just came out.”
“Uuuungh! Y-You idiot!”
Apparently, my words were quite embarrassing, as Sara slapped my chest with both hands, but her resistance didn’t last long.
After a few more thrusts, Sara finally leaned forward, pressing her breasts against the very spot she’d just been hitting and rubbing against me as she kissed me.
And so, just like any other day, we decided to continue enjoying our private time until Vanessa came to get us.
No. To be precise, I planned on enjoying it a little longer even after Vanessa arrived.
Knock, knock.
The moment a knock sounded at the door, I deliberately activated a magic tool similar to an intercom so the sounds from inside the room could be heard outside.
“Um… Sir Guwon? Lady Sara? Are you awake? Breakfast is almost ready….”
“Nngh!”
“Just a minute!”
“Kyaa! Y-Yes! I’ll be waiting!”
…Huh? Wait a minute. That reaction was…
That’s not like Vanessa… No. Come to think of it, the voice was different, too.
Was that not Vanessa?
Don’t tell me she’s been taken off my detail because of what happened yesterday?!
Well, this was more or less within my range of expectations, but still…
“Hah! I-Idiot! What are you doing!”
Hearing the reaction from outside, Sara must have realized I’d activated the magic tool, because she quickly shut it off.
The good thing was, Sara was also too aroused to just stop, so she didn’t stop moving her hips.
For now, I pushed my thoughts aside and moved my own hips, determined to finish things with Sara.
“Idiot! Idiot! Are you a complete idiot?! I can’t believe you!”
“Sara. You’ve been slacking off lately. Every time you call me an idiot, you’re supposed to call me Oppa…”
“Huh?!”
“Nope. Sorry for being an idiot.”
After we both came to a satisfying climax, Sara rushed me to quickly wash up with the spirits and get dressed.
Even as we were getting dressed, Sara never stopped calling me an idiot.
Of course, a fresh red handprint was already emblazoned on my back.
In my defense, I really didn’t think someone other than Vanessa would show up.
Then again, she probably would have hit me even if it had been Vanessa who heard us.
“Ah, S-Sir Guwon. Lady Sara. Did you sleep well….”
In any case, after we hurriedly dressed and left the room, we found a maid standing there stiffly, her face bright red.
“Ah, yeah. Um… where’s Vanessa?”
I deliberately ignored the sharp glare I could feel from Sara beside me and spoke to the nameless maid.
What was I supposed to do? Vanessa always marked me so thoroughly that I rarely had a chance to talk to the maids.
Ah, come to think of it, could it be that Vanessa had been sticking so close to me to prevent me from talking to the maids out of her own jealousy?
…No. That couldn’t be it. She was probably just following Diana’s orders.
“Ah, Miss Vanessa seems to be unwell… S-So I will be attending to you today, Sir Guwon.”
In response to my question, the maid answered with her head bowed low, unable to even meet my eyes.
Hmm? Unwell?
So she hasn’t worked at all since she left the dining hall yesterday?
No. This, too, was within my expectations.
To be precise, this situation was far better than I had anticipated.
Honestly, I thought she would just end up being less focused on her work than usual.
I never imagined it would come to this. This might make things much easier than I thought.
“…Guwon. Are you sure this is okay?”
But Sara, unaware of my inner thoughts, looked at me with a slightly worried expression.
She was just angry at me for letting a maid hear us having sex, but it seemed she was genuinely concerned about Vanessa.
She’s just too nice for her own good.
“It’s fine. Don’t worry. Just trust your Oppa.”
“Kyaaak!”
As I reassured Sara with a light peck on her lips, the maid beside us let out a tiny squeal.
Hey, nameless maid. Why are you reacting like that?
And how do you even let out a tiny scream like that? That’s some talent.
In any case, we followed the maid, not Vanessa, to the dining hall.
Even when we arrived, the worried atmosphere surrounding Vanessa hadn’t changed.
After all, knowing Vanessa’s personality, she would never take a day off without Diana’s permission.
Naturally, Diana knew Vanessa was resting, and it seemed she had informed the others as well.
Perhaps that was why everyone, even as they greeted us, wore anxious expressions.
Though Matilda couldn’t even make proper eye contact with me.
What’s with her… Ah. She must be embarrassed about her drunken antics yesterday.
She doesn’t need to worry about it. She’s an adorable one, that’s for sure.
“You. Nngh.”
Diana immediately tried to question me about Vanessa, but I silenced her by raising my index finger and gently pressing it to her lips.
“Diana. Trust your Oppa.”
“Mm… nom! Who’s your Oppa? Who? Such nerve.”
Diana gave my finger a light, playful bite before turning her head away and muttering.
Despite her words, she didn’t seem to mind it much.
No. In fact, she seemed to like it even more than when I called her Noona.
“…Hmph!”
Of course, Sara started glaring at me from the side again.
Hey, you’re the one who won’t call me Oppa when I ask you to. What are you getting jealous over now?
A woman’s heart is a complex thing.
“I know what you all want to say, but Vanessa acting like this was all part of my plan. I’ll go and resolve it right after we eat. So don’t worry about it. Got it?”
For now, I ignored Sara’s jealousy, patting Diana’s head to soothe her, and decided to eat quickly.
Thanks to my persuasion, Vanessa’s name didn’t come up again, but the atmosphere didn’t get much brighter.
The only two who were less involved in this incident were Silvia and Matilda, but Silvia was off in the corner, and Matilda couldn’t even look at me.
Thanks to that, we finished our meal in a strangely quieter atmosphere than usual, and under the glares of the others, I had no choice but to quickly get up from my seat.
“Well, I’m off.”
“Mm. I shall trust you. I’m counting on you.”
“Don’t pull any weird pranks and just handle it properly.”
“Guwon-ssi, fighting!”
With the enthusiastic support of my girls, I slowly made my way to Vanessa’s room.
“Vanessa. You in there?”
I knocked on the door and called out, but there was no answer from inside.
Giving up on her opening the door, I tried the handle, but as expected, it was locked tight.
Well, this was all expected. No need to panic.
Normally, to open a locked door, one would call for Vanessa, who had the master key. But now, it was Vanessa’s own door that was locked.
But you’re not the only one with a master key, Vanessa.
Using the master key Diana had given me before I left, I opened Vanessa’s door and stepped inside.
The scene that unfolded before my eyes was… unexpectedly, a complete mess.
Well, maybe not messy enough to be called a complete mess.
But Vanessa’s room was usually so tidy that it felt like no one lived there. So, seeing clothes scattered carelessly on the floor and the bedsheets in disarray, the word “mess” instinctively came to mind.
And from within that messy room, the constant sound of rushing water, shwaaaaaa, could be heard.
I headed toward the source of the sound, the bathtub, and pulled back the translucent curtain. There, as expected, was Vanessa, crouched down and letting the stream of water from the showerhead pour over her endlessly.
Hey, what do you think you’re doing? Are you trying to act pitiful? It won’t make me go easy on you.
“…What is it?”
It seemed it wasn’t that she couldn’t hear my voice over the sound of the water.
Even when I pulled back the curtain, Vanessa showed no sign of surprise. Without even turning her head, she muttered in a quiet voice.
“Is it okay for someone who’s ‘unwell’ to be sitting there like that?”
“It is none of your concern, Sir Guwon. Or are you concerned because you won’t be able to have sex with me if I’m sick?”
I’ve been letting it slide, but this was too much.
Even in a situation like this, Vanessa still knew how to get under my skin.
But I had to be patient. The moment Vanessa abandoned her duties, this became a fight I was destined to win.
“Is that any way to talk to someone who’s worried about you?”
“…My apologies. Thank you for your concern. Is that all you have to say?”
Vanessa offered a soulless apology and thanks, then tried to shoo me away without any intention of turning off the shower.
“No. Of course not. I have a lot to say to you.”
“…Then say it.”
Vanessa maintained her indifferent attitude, but her expression finally changed the moment she heard my next words.
“Let me say this upfront: I didn’t come here to apologize. Because I don’t feel the least bit sorry.”
“…Ngh!”
The moment I said that, Vanessa finally whipped her head around to face me, her eyes glowing menacingly as she glared at me.
