Chapter 614: Felicia’s Feelings
Chapter 614: Felicia’s Feelings
“Oh my, Silvia. Darling. Welcome.”
Felicia waved a hand languidly in our direction, half-lying, half-sitting up on the bed.
Her glamorous dress was partially undone, leaving her shoulders completely bare. The long skirt was hiked up to a precarious height, revealing almost the entirety of her pussyy, bare thighs.
To be honest, for someone like me who’d been pent up since morning, the sight was a true test of my patience.
No, wait. Why is she on the bed in the first place when there’s a perfectly good chair right there?
Before, I could have assumed it was because she was rolling around with other guys, but that’s not the case anymore, is it?
She herself promised not to sleep with any other man while she was with me.
Honestly, no matter how many times I see her, it’s hard to tell what’s going on in that head of hers.
In any case, judging by her relaxed demeanor, it seemed my guess at the castle gate was correct—there was no immediate danger of her powers going wild.
Well, she was still radiating sensuality in every direction, but for her, that was basically a passive skill.
“Hey. Everything’s been okay?”
“Yep. It was a little touch-and-go, but still. It was dangerous, you know? That’s a warning. A warning.”
“We had our own circumstances over here. Right, Silvia?”
“…”
“Hey. Silvia.”
“Nehet?! Ah, y-yes! We, uh, had some circumstances! So, um…”
Silvia, who had been spacing out again, flinched as if someone had flipped her power switch the moment I touched her, and finally spoke up.
The way she kept awkwardly brushing her bangs back with her hand was a dead giveaway.
“Silvia, it’s just us right now, so you don’t have to be so formal. And you, darling. What did you do to our Silvia this time?”
“What do you mean, ‘what did I do’? And ‘this time’?! …Well, I did do something.”
“Silvia! Are you okay?! Did he do something awful to you? How could you, darling! If you wanted to do something like that, you should have used my body instead…!”
“You just want him to do it to you, don’t you, you masochist.”
“Ehehe! Oh, darling, honestly. The things you say in front of others.”
As I shot back with a deadpan retort, Felicia’s body trembled slightly as she let out a sexy little moan.
This masochistic princess… surely she didn’t actually get turned on by that, did she?
For someone who hates being hit, she sure has some particular tastes.
Well, I know she doesn’t get excited by being treated roughly, per se, but by the novelty of the experience itself.
“So, what really happened? What on earth did you do?”
“I-It’s a secret! A secret!”
As Felicia’s interest grew, Silvia, who had been trembling with embarrassment, seemed to reach her limit. She waved her arms frantically from side to side and cried out.
“Oh, how mean. It’s a secret from me, too…? Silvia, was our friendship really so shallow?”
“Ugh… but… but still…”
But when Felicia put on a slightly hurt expression, Silvia was left speechless. She looked over at me as if pleading for help.
Of course, I decided to grant Silvia’s wish.
“Heh heh. Curious? Are you curious?”
“Uwaaaah…”
Hey. Silvia. Why are you looking so devastated?
You want to brag about it too, don’t you? You’re just a little embarrassed, that’s all. So I’ll say it for you.
“Honestly, darling. You’re such a tease. I don’t dislike that kind of play, but if you only tease me…”
And Felicia, completely ignoring Silvia’s reaction, looked at me and murmured seductively.
“No. Why do you have to say things like that in such a needlessly sexy way?!”
“Who knows? Maybe it’s because of the overflowing pheromones I was born with?”
“It’s just because that’s the only thing on your mind!”
The fact that I couldn’t deny she was overflowing with pheromones was surprisingly frustrating.
Damn this sly succubus.
“Oh, how cruel.”
“Haaah… Anyway, it’s this.”
“Ehet?! Het?!”
I moved behind Silvia and grabbed both of her wrists so she couldn’t fiddle with her bangs anymore.
Silvia, who could have easily broken free if she’d genuinely resisted, simply squeezed her eyes shut and trembled. Maybe she couldn’t bring herself to be rough with me, or maybe just being close to me had drained her of her strength.
Hey, now. It’s not like I’m going to eat you. You don’t need to react like that, do you?
“Let’s see, let’s see…”
Felicia, who must have noticed Silvia’s fixation on her bangs, immediately crawled across the bed the moment I restrained her and lifted Silvia’s hair.
Hey. Cover yourself. Don’t you know you’re half-naked right now? It’s going to spill out, you idiot.
“Hmph. If you’re referring to that crest.”
“Heeh. So this is what Silvia was talking about?”
I was about to proudly explain the Apostle Appointment, but Felicia murmured as if she’d already heard about it from Silvia.
“Y-Yeah…”
“That’s wonderful! Congratulations!”
Silvia’s voice trailed off, her reply somehow lacking confidence, but Felicia pulled her into a tight hug to congratulate her.
“Honestly, darling. You sure work fast. If you make my friend cry, I won’t let you get away with it!”
Then, looking up at me, Felicia spoke in a warning tone.
Her expression was as playful as ever, but for some reason, I could feel she was being sincere.
And looking at Felicia like that, I…
“Then I’m not doing it with you anymore.”
…made it perfectly clear who was on top.
“Hic… I’m sorry, Silvia. It’s because I was weak… You beast! If you’re going to make someone cry, torment me! Silvia is…!”
“Hey. Stop trying to sneak your own desires into this! I won’t make her cry, even if you don’t tell me to! …But it’s fine if Silvia cries on her own even when I’m being perfectly nice to her, right?”
“Ah, yeah. That’s fine.”
“Aah… Aaaaaah…”
And so, the scene was complete: me and Felicia looking at each other and laughing, with Silvia alone in despair.
Hey. I told you not to cry. I said I’d be nice, didn’t I?
“Ugh… Then I’ll be taking my leave now…”
Her spirit crushed by the unexpected joint attack from me and Felicia, Silvia mumbled with her shoulders slumped.
“Ah, yeah. Sorry, Silvia. Oh, I’ve already given you permission to use communication magic.”
“Okay…”
Felicia, perhaps feeling a little sorry for teasing Silvia so much, apologized while still lying back and laughing.
“Ohohoho. So, darling, what happened?”
But that was all.
As soon as Silvia left, Felicia propped herself up slightly against the pile of pillows and gave me a strange smile.
Of course, there was no way I could understand such a cryptic question out of the blue.
“…What about?”
“What do you think? I’m talking about what happened to you before. You personally took care of Miss Prim and Silvia that day, but you just left that stoic, cross-dressing butler, didn’t you?”
“Miss Prim… Don’t you dare call Sara that to her face.”
“Ahaha. I know, I know. But doesn’t it suit her?”
“Not at all. How? What part of Sara is prim and proper? I have no idea what you’re talking about.”
“Ahahahahahaha!”
Hey, you idiot. I wasn’t joking.
What’s so funny?
“Alright, alright. You understood who I meant in one go, anyway. So? What about that expressionless, cross-dressing butler? Silvia’s face went pale as she ran out, so it must have been a huge deal, right?”
As she said this, Felicia’s eyes sparkled, her expression not one of concern but of someone who found the whole thing amusing.
This girl really does have a nasty personality. Maybe she doesn’t tease Sara because she wants to get closer to her, but because that’s just how she is.
And stop calling Vanessa an expressionless, cross-dressing butler.
Well, she is expressionless, wears pants, and is a butler, but still.
She has cute clothes too, you know? Believe it or not, in hotter regions, she wears things like super-revealing maid outfits. …Though I’m the one who has those clothes now.
Anyway, it’s a good thing Vanessa isn’t here.
For the record, Vanessa didn’t even come to this room.
No, to be precise, she didn’t even enter the castle.
She insisted on waiting in the carriage and planted herself there.
She’s my butler but also my woman, so I tried to bring her with me.
I was pretty persistent about it, but Vanessa wouldn’t budge.
Something about fulfilling her duties as a butler when she’s on the job.
But there was a slight contradiction in her claim that guarding the carriage was a butler’s duty.
Because she followed me into the castle before. And that’s how she ended up being affected by Felicia’s aura.
I think the reason Vanessa didn’t follow me this time was because she was worried the same thing would happen again.
She’s my woman now, so there’d be nothing to worry about even if it did happen, but she’s just so cautious.
“Well? What happened? Tell me. Did you do it with that butler?”
Anyway, with Felicia looking at me with such an expectant expression, I felt the urge to counterattack.
I’m in no position to talk about anyone else having a nasty personality, you know?
I know. That’s why I’m trash.
“No. Nothing much happened. What about you? Last time I saw, it looked like at least ten people were affected.”
“What about it? I just had to make them all feel good, and that was that. It was new and exciting.”
But despite my counter, Felicia replied with a completely unfazed expression.
It wasn’t an act; she genuinely looked unbothered, and I couldn’t help but be dumbfounded.
I mean, I guess I should have expected this from her, but still. To say it was exciting…
“But they were other women. Are you okay with that, Princess?”
“It wasn’t exactly my fault that it happened, was it? If we’re assigning blame…”
“And I solved it for you!”
“Ahaha. So you did feel a little responsible? It’s fine. I’m not blaming you. I told you, didn’t I? It was new and exciting.”
“Still, I’m not sure finding that exciting is a good thing.”
Two women tangled up together is, of course, a rather pleasant sight from a man’s perspective.
But if I imagine myself in that situation… it’d be like me getting pinned down and rolling around with some other dude. I’d rather die.
No, if a situation like that ever arose, I’d kill the other guy. I’m not joking. I’m dead serious.
“But it was something that had to be done, right? In that case, isn’t it better to enjoy it?”
…Right. You’re incredibly positive.
No, I think you’re just a hedonist.
“So, what about your end?”
“What about it?”
“Don’t play dumb again. Did you really think you could change the subject with that? I’m talking about the butler. There’s no way nothing happened. You did it, right? Right?”
She had the attitude of a guy trying to hear a war story from a friend who got lucky with a beautiful woman.
If it were another guy asking, I might have spun a tale of conquest myself.
But the fact that the person acting this way was a beautiful woman exuding a decadent sensuality created a tremendous sense of dissonance. She really is a strange one.
And hey. Don’t lean forward in that state.
I was thinking this earlier, but are you even aware that you’re half-naked right now?
“No. I didn’t. I just helped her out with some foreplay and that was it.”
Of course, I had no intention of giving Felicia the answer she wanted.
There was a mischievous part of me that wanted to ruin that expression of sparkling anticipation, but more importantly, I really hadn’t done it.
At least, not when I was dispelling Felicia’s aura.
After that, a lot of things happened, and we did it a ton, but still.
“Liar!”
“I really didn’t! Did you forget I rejected you when you tried to seduce me before? I’m actually a man of pure heart, you know.”
“Ahahaha! You’re hilarious, darling.”
When I said that, Felicia clutched her stomach and burst into laughter again.
Hey! I’m serious! I wasn’t joking!
“Aha, haah… Anyway, my situation and the butler’s were different. This time, you had a legitimate reason to sleep together, right? And you still passed up that chance? Even though the butler must have been coming on to you super strong? Darling, look me in the eye and tell me the truth.”
After laughing for a while, Felicia’s eyes sparkled again as she looked at me, as if telling me to stop joking and tell her the truth.
“I’m telling you, it’s true. And don’t even think about trying to charm me.”
“Honestly, darling. I told you I wouldn’t do that to you anymore. But really? If you really, truly didn’t do it… are you okay, darling? I’ve been waiting a long time this time, too. If you tell me we can’t do it, I’m going to cry.”
When I bluntly stated the truth, Felicia brought her fists to her eyes and struck a pose as if she were about to burst into tears.
Of course, even as she said it, her eyes were still smiling, as if she didn’t actually believe I’d become impotent.
“Sorry. Actually, I’m impo—Alright, go ahead and cry.”
“Hah!”
“Whoa! What are you doing?!”
This girl! She just suddenly grabbed my crotch without any warning! No, she’s still grabbing it!
Hey! Stop groping me! It’s not a toy!
And cover yourself! Or just take it all off!
“Hehe. You and your jokes, darling. Oh my, it’s so fresh, twitching and jumping in my hand…”
“It’s not a fish!”
