Chapter 698: Daily Life
“Have you calmed down now?”
“Ye-yes, heehee….”
In the end, Silvia only managed to calm down a little after I had her stand a good distance away from me and take some deep breaths.
She can’t even speak properly unless we’re more than two meters apart. How long has it been since she was like this?
What on earth happened to make Silvia act this way?
No, it’s not like I can’t guess.
She must have seen Sara after she left my room from our session.
If she saw Sara in that state, she could probably imagine just how intense our sex was.
And if Silvia projected herself into that fantasy in Sara’s place, the result would be this version of Silvia, her resistance lowered to rock bottom.
How can a person get like that from imagination alone?
This is Silvia we’re talking about. She’s a girl who has no erogenous zones on her body, yet she’s on the verge of dying from pleasure every time we have sex, purely from mental stimulation.
I bet if she really put her mind to it, she could climax from imagination alone.
Well, I’m not Silvia, so I can’t know for sure.
In any case, calming her down took up a fair bit of time.
Vanessa has probably had the carriage waiting for a while now, so I should hurry up and get to the point.
“Alright, Silvia. I’m heading to the castle now. Do you want to come with me?”
“W-Whaat?! With… with you, Sir Guwon! In the same carriage?!”
“Well, yeah, of course….”
What is she even talking about? Acting so surprised all of a sudden.
I mean, sure, the distance between us would be a little closer in the carriage than it is now, but still.
“No way, no way, no way! In such a… a confined space, alone with you, Sir Guwon! Absolutely not!”
Hey. Anyone who didn't know the context would completely misunderstand that.
You should add that it’s because you like it too much. That you’re like this because you enjoy it.
“Right. Well, you just went there recently anyway. So you’ll sit this one out today?”
“Yes! I’m sorr—Ah.”
Silvia, who was about to bow her head deeply in apology, suddenly froze in that very position as if she’d just remembered something.
“Hm?”
“Ugh, uwaaaah…!”
She grabbed her head with both hands and looked at me with an expression full of despair.
Look, you can stare at me like that all you want, but I have no idea what’s going on.
“What’s wrong?”
“I… I have something… to do….”
“At the castle?”
“Uuuh…!”
Still clutching her head, Silvia squeezed her eyes shut and nodded vigorously.
Seeing her resort to gestures instead of answering me properly, she must be in true despair.
“Is it something you forgot to do last time you were there?”
“N-No. It’s… Aah. Yes, yes! It’s something I forgot.”
Right. So it’s not. I don’t know why she feels the need to lie.
Well, seeing her like this, it’s probably not something I need to know about, but my curiosity was piqued, and I felt like teasing her a little.
“Is it that important? Important enough to risk your life?”
“L-L-Life?!”
“You’ll be in a narrow, enclosed space the whole way to the castle, just the two of us, pressed right up against each other. Do you think you’ll make it out unscathed?”
“H-Hiiiik!”
I deliberately curled one side of my lip into a meaningful smirk as I spoke, taking a step closer to Silvia.
She let out a scream of pure terror, her legs seeming to give out as she collapsed to the floor.
Right. So much for a knight’s dignity.
And she’s in the Royal Guard, the elite of the elite among knights.
“You’re still going?”
“Ye-Yehesss….”
Silvia nodded forcefully, her voice now on the verge of tears.
Hey, don’t cry. It was a joke. I’m not going to kill you. I promise.
But for her to insist on coming even while reacting like this, it must be something incredibly important to her.
What could it possibly be?
“Can’t be helped, then. Shall we go? The carriage is already prepared.”
“Uuu… Yes….”
“Can you stand? Should I help you up?”
“I-I’m fine! Not a! Problem at all!”
And despite her legs having given out just a moment ago, the mere sight of me extending a hand was enough to make Silvia jolt in surprise and scramble to her feet.
Just how desperate are you?
And so, I set off for the castle with Vanessa and Silvia.
It was the usual group I take with me whenever I go to the castle.
“Mother in heaven, who always looks upon us with love and care….”
Well, the atmosphere inside the carriage on the way there was anything but usual.
Watching Silvia endlessly recite prayers with a look of someone who had half-given up on life, I began to suspect what might have happened at the mansion while I was gone.
Even inside the carriage, Silvia tried to stay as far away from me as possible, sitting in the diagonally opposite seat and pressing her body into the corner.
She looked as if she would die on the spot if I so much as touched her.
I know she’s the type to feel pleasure through emotion, but would she really react this strongly just from seeing Sara?
Don’t tell me that girl Sara did something else weird, did she?
For all her faults, Sara has a personality that’s almost foolishly upright, so she’s terrible at lying.
“Silvia.”
“Oh my… Hiiik! Ye-Yehes?!”
Hey now. I just called your name because I wanted to ask something. Don’t look at me like your time has come.
“I have a question. You’re acting like this because of Sara, right?”
“…Ah, uh… w-well….”
“Don’t avoid my gaze with your eyes darting all over the place. It’s not like it’s a secret, is it?”
“Uuu… Yes….”
“So, you also heard a proper explanation from Sara about what happened, right?”
“Ngh….”
Seemingly embarrassed at the memory of Sara’s explanation, Silvia’s face turned bright red as she nodded.
“Then tell me, in your own words, what Sara explained to you.”
“W-Whaaat?!”
The moment I asked for an explanation, Silvia’s body trembled as she jumped in shock.
Then she turned her entire body to face the wall, pressing herself flat against it, her lips quivering as she began to mutter something.
Listening closely, I could make out the words coming from her mouth.
“I-I’ve only heard about… sh-shame play… Is this how it starts… M-Mommy… Silvia is… Silvia is….”
“That’s not it, you idiot!”
“Hah!”
I couldn’t help but retort instinctively.
What is she talking about? Where did she even learn a term like that?
“Th-Then….”
“If I just state my guess and have you confirm it, you’ll just nod again, and I won’t get the full picture. That’s why I’m asking you to repeat the explanation you heard, so I can understand the exact situation. So, what did Sara tell you?”
“W-Well, she said… that this morning, Lady Sara was pushing you too hard about something you didn’t even do….”
“Uh-huh.”
“And that on top of that, she usually doesn’t keep her promises and calls you an idiot instead of calling you ‘big brother’….”
Huh? That part wasn’t in the excuse I came up with for Sara.
Did she add that extra detail to make it more realistic? That girl Sara is surprisingly good at this.
“And with various other recent issues with Lady Sara’s attitude piling up… you finally couldn’t hold in your anger anymore and dragged Lady Sara into your room….”
“Right, right.”
It’s definitely more realistic to say it was a combination of things like that, rather than just saying I got angry over what happened this morning.
That Sara. She said to leave it to her, and she really pulled it off perfectly.
Besides, for those words to come out so readily means that Sara has been bothered by those things too.
Calling me an idiot instead of ‘big brother,’ and her occasional prickly attitude.
And yet, she never shows any sign of being bothered by it in front of me.
She’s such a cute little thing.
Don’t worry, your big brother doesn’t mind that stuff at all.
If anything, that’s part of Sara’s charm. She’s just too cute for words.
Well, it would certainly be the icing on the cake if she called me ‘big brother’ a little more often.
“You dragged her into the room and… and…!”
Seeing me urge her on, listening with a satisfied expression, Silvia’s face turned crimson as she trembled.
“A-And you said… if she was so curious about your activities with Lady Leia… y-you would make her understand with her body… and then… and then….”
“Hah.”
“Hiiik! S-So… your usual activities were you holding back considerably… and… a-a-and when you get serious, you’re incredible… S-Sara… Lady Sara…!”
Hearing that much, I finally understood why Silvia was trembling so badly.
I see. So that’s it, Sara. You added that part to the story, did you?
That when I get serious, I’m even more incredible than usual.
I mean, it’s not wrong to say I don’t use 100% of my abilities on my girls.
In truth, during our sessions, I barely use any of my Saint skills other than the passives that activate automatically.
If I were to start using active skills like Saint’s Touch, Saint’s Holy Water, or Penis Bash like I used to, my girls wouldn’t be able to handle it.
It’s certainly not a lie, but…
Giving an explanation like that would just scare Silvia.
She already feels like her life is in danger every time we have sex, so hearing that I could get even more serious would make her think she’d definitely die.
But Silvia, you can relax.
You’re someone for whom mental pleasure is far greater, so if I use my skills to give you physical pleasure, you’d actually be more stable than usual.
No, wait. That’s only when I use my skills moderately. Since her tolerance for physical pleasure is lower than the others, would it be different if I went all out with every skill I have?
Anyway, that’s not going to happen, so you don’t need to be scared.
It’s not like I’m going to kill someone during sex.
Now that I knew the reason for Silvia’s reaction, there was no need to hear any more of the explanation from her.
Besides, as she was explaining, she seemed to be imagining it again and had started subtly rubbing her thighs together.
She’s so scared of having sex with me, yet she gets turned on so easily.
Well, since her mind is her greatest erogenous zone, I guess it can’t be helped that she gets aroused so easily by her imagination.
“Stop. That’s enough. So, Sara learned her lesson. That’s the explanation you heard, right?”
“Ye-Yes!”
As I cut her off and wrapped up the conversation, Silvia nodded hastily with a look of relief.
“You don’t have to worry, I won’t go that far with you, so you don’t need to be so scared. I was just angry at Sara for a moment.”
“Aww… i-is that so….”
“Why do you look a little disappointed?”
“N-N-N-No, I’m not!”
“You want me to get serious with you just once?”
“N-N-No, I don’t!”
So she was hoping for it a little….
Honestly, for someone who’s always making a fuss about dying.
She secretly likes this kind of thing.
Well, considering the reason she latched onto me in the first place was because she wanted to keep feeling the pleasure of sex, I suppose it’s only natural.
“Alright, alright. That’s all it was, so stop trembling. Got it?”
“Ye-Yes….”
When I gave her a smile, Silvia nodded with a tiny, embarrassed expression.
She seemed mortified for making such a fuss all by herself, fueled by her own imagination.
Finding her incredibly cute, I gently stroked her head.
“Heeut! Nngh… un… uuuuhhh….”
The moment my hand rested on her head, Silvia’s body flinched. As I continued to pat her, her expression gradually melted into a daze, and finally, her whole body shuddered.
“…Hey. Wait a minute. Don’t tell me….”
“N-No… I’m not….”
What do you mean, you’re not, you little…
I had no choice but to take my hand off her head.
Right. No matter what I explained, she was trembling like that just moments ago. Her resistance wouldn’t just snap back to normal. I was too careless.
“Uuuhhh….”
Silvia sat there for a while with a dazed look on her face before finally coming to her senses. As if she wanted to find a hole to crawl into, she covered her face with her hands, pulled her legs up, planted her feet on the seat, and buried her face in her knees.
“Sir Guwon. Lady Silvia. We have arrived. You may exit.”
Right on cue, Vanessa opened the window connecting to the driver’s seat and announced our arrival.
“Alright. Shall we go?”
“Yes… ngh… N-No. Um. Well… if you could just… go on ahead….”
But unlike me, who was getting out of the carriage, Silvia remained glued to her seat, refusing to budge.
Well, I could guess the reason.
“…Alright.”
I took a few towels out of my inventory and handed them to her.
Then, trying to be as considerate as possible, I asked for her opinion.
“…Want a pair of underwear, too?”
I had a few pairs of hers for her to change into during dungeon explorations.
“I-I’m fine!”
It seemed my consideration was not needed.
