Chapter 606: Rachel's Situation
Chapter 606: Rachel's Situation
After Diana made me promise again and again, I had to be content with a normal, sweet, and lovey-dovey session for just the two of us.
To be honest, watching Diana tremble after I’d finally won made the desire to tease her well up inside me, but I knew it would be a problem if I went too far and made her sulk.
I didn't know if she was acting or not, but I'd already made her pout once by only paying attention to Rachel. I couldn't do the same thing twice in one day.
"Mm... chu. Are you awake?"
After a night like that, I opened my eyes to find Diana kissing me.
Looking at her smiling down at me so gently, I felt that I’d made the right choice not to tease her.
Waking up to her gentle pats was nice, but every now and then, I needed to have a morning like this with Diana, too.
Instead of answering, I pulled her head toward me and kissed her myself.
Diana, who loved kissing so much she’d asked for one even when she was winning against me, didn't resist in the slightest. In fact, she actively pressed her lips against mine and accepted my kiss.
"Should we just spend the morning kissing until Vanessa gets here?"
Usually, I’d enjoy a round of morning sex until Vanessa arrived, but for some reason, that’s what I felt like doing today.
It was also because of what I’d said last night.
It wasn't a lie that I was happy just looking at her face, though Diana did have a way of subtly provoking me.
"Hmph. It would have been more romantic had you simply kept your mouth shut."
"What?! I was just telling you in case you suddenly decided to make a move!"
"Th-This body is not like you! I would never do such a thing! I am perfectly fine with pulling away this instant!"
"Wait! I said we should just kiss, I never said you had to pull out!"
"..."
"Wh-What's with that look?"
"..."
"Fine. I get it. I get it, okay? I admit it. If I had just stayed quiet, I would have been the one to make the first move. Happy now?"
"Hmph."
She was getting so cocky just because she won once.
Enjoy that feeling while you can. Next time, I'll be sure to knock you down a peg.
Well, "next time" would probably be after we returned from the dungeon, and that’s assuming I even remembered by then.
"Wait a moment! There! Eek! M-My eye! It touched my eye!"
In any case, I didn't like the idea of letting Diana stay smug, so I hugged her tight and started planting kisses randomly all over her face.
"Haah... haah... What do you think a sacred kiss is for?"
When my long barrage of kisses finally ended, Diana was blushing with an exhausted expression, panting heavily.
"What are you talking about now? You kissed my thing, you know. Ow!"
"You're the one who told me tooo!"
"Alright, alright. I'm sorry. I said I'm sorry. Here, let's kiss on the lips."
"This body... Mmph! Heup... chu."
Diana had been patting my face to express her anger, but the moment our lips met and my tongue tickled the inside of her mouth, she became docile once more.
She really, really loves to kiss.
"Haah... hooh... It's almost... time..."
"You're right. Should we get ready?"
"Mm... chu. I suppose we have no choice. Mmph!"
And so, just as I'd suggested, we spent our time just kissing, but even so, the time flew by.
It felt wrong to make Vanessa wait, especially on a rare morning when we weren't even having sex.
We should at least be ready before she arrived.
Diana must have been thinking the same thing. Though she didn't hide her disappointment, she gave my lips one last light peck before lifting her hips and pulling my Dick out of her.
"I never thought you'd actually stay still."
She then sat up, straddling me so closely that her lower abdomen was almost brushing against my Dick. She stared down at it and muttered as if seeing it in a new light.
"I can do it if I put my mind to it. What I said yesterday wasn't a lie."
"Mm. Mm. Good boy. Very good."
When I said that, Diana began to stroke me as if praising a child.
To be precise, she was stroking my Dick.
"Hey. Don't start something now."
"Hm? What is it? Are you feeling regretful after all?"
As she spoke, Diana started poking my Dick with her fingertips.
I told you not to start anything. Is she doing this on purpose?
"What about you? Aren't you just doing that because you're the one who's disappointed?"
As I said that, I twitched my Dick, making it slap gently against her lower abdomen. In response, Diana grabbed it firmly with her hand and began stroking it up and down, giving me a handjob.
The surface of my Dick, which had been inside her just moments ago, was slick with her juices, so her hand moved up and down without any friction.
"I suppose you're right. Since I'm disappointed, I should touch it more."
Seeing that, I was certain.
She was definitely doing this on purpose.
"I'm telling you this just in case, but if you're thinking of teasing me by getting me worked up and then stopping, you should stop right now. If you do that, I won't care if Vanessa comes or not—no, I won't care if she's watching or not. I'll pounce on you."
"Eek! My apologies!"
The moment I said that, Diana flinched and snatched her hand away from my Dick.
So that was her plan. Honestly, she gets endlessly cocky after winning just once.
"Hoo. Well then, you may go out first."
In any case, after we finished showering together while playfully dawdling, Diana spoke to me with a look of complete satisfaction.
"Huh? What do you mean? Vanessa isn't even here yet. We should go together."
"I am referring to Miss Rachel. Wouldn't it be best to soothe her feelings before she leaves for work?"
I didn't understand what she meant at first, but Diana's next words helped me grasp her deeper meaning.
"Ah! That's right!"
"Had you forgotten?!"
"I told you, when I'm alone with you, I only think about you!"
I felt bad for only talking about Rachel yesterday, so I'd been making a conscious effort not to think about her, and I ended up genuinely forgetting.
I would have been in big trouble if Diana hadn't reminded me.
"R-Regardless, you... hurry up and go."
"Still... are you really okay with it?"
"Did I not say I was fine?"
"You're not just telling me to go take it out on Rachel because you're scared of what I said earlier, are you?"
"Do not go!"
"Agh! Sorry! It was a joke! Why are you so worked up?"
"How! Could I! Not be! Worked up right now!"
"I said I'm sorry. I love you."
"I am aware!"
Even as Diana's patting attacks rained down on me, I forced myself to pull her into a hug and give her a light kiss before getting up.
"I'll be back."
"Mm."
Diana nodded, her expression still feigning a slight anger. I stroked her head once before opening the door and leaving the room.
"Ugh!"
"Whoa!"
The moment I opened the door, I ran right into Vanessa, who was standing just outside. With no time to stop, I thought we were about to go tumbling to the floor together... but I just ended up falling into her arms.
Come to think of it, it was about time for Vanessa to arrive.
I thought we had gotten ready earlier than usual, but Vanessa always came a little before mealtime.
Well, she probably came early knowing that I wouldn't come out right away because I was having sex every day.
Anyway, Vanessa. You must have been just as surprised, but you're incredibly sturdy.
For a guy my size to crash into you, it's amazing you didn't even budge.
"...Good morning, Lady Diana, Sir Guwon. It is true that I have become your woman, but it is troublesome when you attempt to interfere with my duties as a butler first thing in the morning. Furthermore, please refrain from such actions in front of others, especially Lady Diana..."
"I didn't know you were there! I was just trying to leave! You saw what happened!"
"It was a jest."
That's why your jokes are so hard to get, you iron-masked woman!
I thought she had softened up a bit, but after just one day, she's back to wearing her perfect iron mask.
Well, I guess I should be glad she's at least not denying that she's my woman.
"So. How long do you intend to bury your face in my chest?"
"Just a little longer..."
"Do you! Like! Breasts! That much!"
"Alright, I'll get off! I'm getting off, okay?!"
Faced with Vanessa's cold stare from the front and Diana's physical attacks patting my butt from behind, I had no choice but to stand up.
Diana, don't you treat Vanessa almost like a granddaughter? Don't get jealous of her chest, too.
"Anyway, I'm off."
"...Breakfast is ready. Where are you going so early in the morning?"
"Huh? No, I'm going to eat breakfast properly. I'm just going to Rachel's room for a bit first."
The moment I answered, one of Vanessa's expressionless eyebrows twitched.
"..."
"...What?"
"Do you know which room Miss Rachel is staying in?"
Could she be jealous, too?
I had opened my mouth nervously during the strange silence, but Vanessa's reply was surprisingly simple.
"Oh, right. Tell me."
"Hoo. It is the room next to Lady Silvia's."
"Okay. Thanks."
I gave Vanessa a quick word of thanks and ran straight to Rachel's room.
However, I didn't get to meet Rachel right away.
That was because I was delayed by meeting someone else first.
I should have been more careful from the moment I heard her room was next to Silvia's.
No, would it have even mattered if I was careful?
Anyway, as I was passing Silvia's room to get to Rachel's, Silvia's door suddenly burst open.
I'd assumed the others were normally woken up by the maids.
Apparently, Silvia wasn't one to follow a maid to the dining hall.
Come to think of it, I have no idea how the girls wake up and get to the dining hall when they don't sleep with me.
I'm usually the last one to arrive.
"..."
In any case, Silvia stared at me with a dazed look, either because she was still half-asleep or because this was just her default expression when I wasn't around.
Then, without a word, she quietly approached and suddenly poked me with her fingertip.
It was a light motion, but a poke from a knight with a higher level than me, without any strength control, had more of an impact than I expected.
Especially since I never imagined she would suddenly poke me with her finger.
"Kuh!"
"...Heh?"
I let out an involuntary groan. Seeing my reaction, Silvia let out a dazed-sounding noise.
Then, her pupils suddenly began to tremble as she lightly placed her hand on my body.
As if to confirm I was really there.
"Hieeeek?! I-I-I-Is it r-r-r-really you?!"
Then she suddenly fell flat on her back, flailed her limbs, scrambled back into her room, and slammed the door shut.
"...Hey. Are you okay?"
My original destination was Rachel's room, but I couldn't just leave Silvia like this.
I checked on her from the other side of the door and heard her voice, which, even without seeing her, was clearly trembling.
"I-I-I'm f-f-finesir!"
Judging by her voice, she seemed to be in a complete panic, but at least she had the presence of mind to use a magic tool.
In this soundproof mansion, you couldn't hear a voice from inside a room just by shouting.
"I-I-I! Th-Thought! It was a dream!"
"Ah, yeah. It's okay. Let's start with some deep breaths. Deep breaths."
"Hoooo! Haaah! Hoooo! Haaah!"
No, you don't need to use a magic tool for deep breaths.
In any case, perhaps because she wasn't face-to-face with me, Silvia seemed to be quickly recovering from her panic.
"Are you okay now?"
"Y-Yesh!"
Well, I guess her speech pattern is just something I have to live with.
She's like this even when she's not panicking.
"Should I go on ahead?"
"Th-That! W-Would be appreciated, sir!"
Normally, I would have joked around with her, saying something like, "You want to go separately?! Don't tell me your love has faded?! If not, let's go together! Come on, hurry out!" But right now, my original objective, Rachel, was the priority.
I quietly made my way to the room where Rachel was staying.
