Chapter 864
As a man, I could have so many wonderful women by my side, and even with many, I had the luxury of only needing to be with one per night.
After all, even if I was only with one person per night, I could spend the entire day having sex with that one person.
But Felicia, as a woman, was different.
First, finding a good man who could satisfy her was difficult enough, but even if she found one, it couldn’t just be one.
Since ordinary men have limits on how often they can perform, to soothe her periodically aroused body, she would need to have a whole roster of decent men lined up.
That was why Felicia had been so promiscuous when I first met her, and also why she had clung to me so desperately at first.
It also seemed that Felicia’s case was particularly severe, even among Succubi of royal blood.
In any case, given the situation, even if I hadn’t openly shown distress from not being able to have sex like Felicia, there was a strong possibility that Felicia and I had similar constitutions.
While I was a Saint and Felicia a Succubus, differing in job and race, we both shared the fact that our bodies were blessed by the Earth Goddess.
Is that so? So that’s how it was. No wonder there were times when I even thought of myself as acting like a guy with nothing but sex on his mind.
That was all a side effect of the Saint’s power.
Even the girls who’d been by my side and watched me must have guessed as much, and that’s why they usually went along with my slightly unreasonable requests.
In other words, from now on, I could openly surrender to my instincts without needing to be considerate, and blame it all on the Earth Goddess… Ah, no. That’s not right. Haha. There’s no way I’d do that, right?
Anyway, the important thing was, even if I was in a similar situation to Felicia, there was no need for me to be particularly shocked by it.
After all, unlike Felicia, I wouldn’t have problems because of it.
“It seems you understand. So, before you surrender to your emotions, please think carefully once more. Are you truly in love with Princess Felicia? Or are you simply concerned for her out of pity, or a feeling of shared suffering, because you see someone in a similar situation?”
Ah. Now that I think about it, Matilda hadn’t brought this up to enlighten me about the cause of my unusually strong libido.
Is that so? Could it be that I’m concerned about Felicia for another reason, not because I love her?
But I only realized my situation was similar to Felicia’s after Matilda told me, didn’t I?
But how could I… No. Still, it’s not impossible that I unconsciously started thinking that way.
While I’d only just realized my situation was similar to Felicia’s, I had already been thinking that ever since I became a Saint, my libido seemed to grow stronger and stronger as my level increased.
And if my feelings truly were just simple pity or shared suffering, as Matilda suggested, then accepting Felicia’s feelings would be wrong.
Of course, I’m not denying that love can start from such feelings. If we spent time together as lovers, unlike now, our affection could grow.
But the problem was, I already had plenty of people I loved.
Even if I accepted Felicia, whom I didn’t love, it was obvious that only Felicia would feel alienated.
Moreover, given her position, Felicia couldn’t even live here with us, so her opportunities to see me would be overwhelmingly fewer than the other girls.
And it wasn’t like I planned to go live in the Royal Palace either.
So, if I didn’t love Felicia, accepting her feelings would likely only end up hurting both of us.
If I had simply acted on the mistaken belief that I loved Felicia and accepted her feelings, who knows how things might have turned out. But now that doubt had already taken root in my mind, such a hypothetical was meaningless.
Ultimately, it meant that the first step was to figure out what kind of feelings I truly had for Felicia.
“Well? Was I truly a hindrance?”
“…Immensely. So much so that if Felicia knew, she’d resent you terribly.”
“Oh my, but I also helped you, so let’s call it a draw between us.”
Look at her. The Princess would resent her, and she didn’t even bat an eye.
Well, if you think about it, a Cardinal’s position isn’t really inferior to a Princess’s.
This world is one where the Earth Goddess reigns supreme, to the point where it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say everyone is her worshipper.
“So, you. Don’t rush, think it through properly, and if you’re still sure it’s alright after that, then act on it. As I said before, your happiness is more important to me than anything else.”
“Yeah. Thanks. I will.”
“Hehe. Yes. Think hard about it—Ugh?!”
Our Cardinal said that with a smile, as if she’d finished another task, and tried to push herself up from the bed with one hand.
But when I lightly moved my hips, the strength left her arm, and Matilda’s body sank back into the bed with a soft thud.
“Where do you think you’re going?”
“Hngh…You?”
“I’ll think hard about it, just as you said, but at least not right now. There’s no way I’d let this precious time, where I can fool around with you alone right after waking up, end with me just talking about other women, is there?”
Though it already felt like a slight failure, given Matilda had caught on to my thoughts about other women and I’d even received advice for the future, that was beside the point.
“Aaaahhh…”
But perhaps my words alone were enough to please Matilda, as she let out a sweet moan, her gaze slowly turning a deeper shade of pink.
Where had the mature Cardinal, who had just been advising me on my future actions, disappeared to?
Well, that was one of our Cardinal’s charms.
“Precisely because we talked about other women, I’m going to make up for it, and also make up for all the times I couldn’t move on my own yesterday, all before we eat. Get ready. See? The Apostle’s Seal, just barely visible here. This… right. I’ll keep going until it’s visible to this extent.”
Gently tracing the Apostle’s Seal, etched like a line beneath Matilda’s left breast, with the tip of my thumb, I grinned.
But Matilda’s reply to me was a little unexpected.
“Ughhh…! Haaah…I…can’t see it…”
…Huh? Oh, right! Yes, she can’t see it. Because her breasts are big.
Is that so? At that position, it wouldn’t be visible unless she looked in a mirror.
The saying that women with large breasts can’t see below them wasn’t a lie after all.
Leia was the undisputed champion in that regard, so it was easy to forget, but Matilda’s were quite large too. I see.
“Ugh?!”
As I gained that new realization, I felt my already stiff member swell to an explosive degree.
I don’t know why, but when a woman says something like that, it just feels so erotic.
“Matilda. I love you.”
“Aahng…I…Hngh…I love you too…”
And so, Matilda and I began our second round, right from the morning.
Unlike last night, this time I took the lead, moving my hips.
Of course, there was no way the act would end before the meal, and we continued, ignoring Vanessa’s knocking at the door.
It was only after we had far exceeded the target I’d mentioned while stroking the Apostle’s Seal that we were finally able to separate from each other.
“Guwon. Matilda. Lunch is ready.”
In fact, even that was only interrupted thanks to Vanessa, who came back again when it was lunchtime.
Truthfully, I wanted to keep going, but Matilda had her own circumstances.
The circumstance of needing to train the Holy Knights at the Temple.
She had rested the day before because of me, so as the responsible Matilda, she probably didn’t want to rest today as well.
And training the Holy Knights at the Temple was what Matilda, unable to go to the Dungeon, considered the best she could do for me in her own way.
“Ugh?! H-Haaah…I-I need to wash up and get ready soon…”
So, as soon as she realized it was already lunchtime, Matilda snapped slightly out of her pink-hued mode and mumbled that.
Though her voice itself was still incredibly sweet.
Anyway, Matilda had to go to the Temple, and I had promised Felicia I’d visit the Royal Palace again today, so it was a good time to stop.
I moved my hips vigorously, reaching climax simultaneously with Matilda one last time, and finally withdrew from the penetration that had continued since last night.
“Aahng…It’s so much…I can’t hold it all in…”
As my dick withdrew, a gush of white semen flowed out from inside Matilda, as if it had been waiting.
Matilda then reached down, pushed the flowing semen back inside herself, and tightened her vaginal muscles to prevent it from spilling out.
…Well, since clerics, according to their doctrine, even refuse contraception magic, it was understandable that she would try to keep all the semen inside her.
I understood, but that didn’t make it any less erotic.
Dangerous. I want to do it again.
No. Think of something else. Let’s think of something else. I can’t go on like this. Matilda is going to train the Holy Knights now… will she do it with my semen still inside her?
Since it’s Holy Knight training, there’ll naturally be vigorous movements, whether for demonstrations or whatever, and then my semen, filling her inside, might spill out… Ughhh! That just makes me more excited for no reason! Is this the side effect of the Earth Goddess’s blessing that Matilda mentioned?!
…Is it just that I’m a pervert? No, no! That can’t be! It’s all the Earth Goddess’s fault!
Thinking thoughts that would surely bring divine retribution if the Earth Goddess knew, I reluctantly pulled away from Matilda.
Anyway, after finishing our activities and having lunch together, I decided to head straight to the Royal Palace.
My mind was unnecessarily complicated by the conversation I’d had with Matilda earlier that morning, but perhaps it was precisely at times like these that I needed to see Felicia’s face even more.
To figure out what my true feelings were, wouldn’t that be the best way?
Forcibly suppressing the complex thoughts swirling in my head, I got into the carriage.
Of course, Vanessa was driving the carriage again today.
“Vanessa. Are you coming with me again today? Are you sure you’re alright?”
She hadn’t been able to do any mansion work all day yesterday, and now she was following me again today.
Even for the super butler Vanessa, wouldn’t her work pile up too much?
“…I’m fine.”
But despite my concern, Vanessa replied indifferently.
Though, unlike her voice, her eyes seemed a little complicated.
“You didn’t work all night without sleeping yesterday, did you?”
“…No. I’m fine.”
Vanessa said this, but she was the type to overexert herself, even lying if necessary, so I couldn’t trust her.
“That won’t do. Look at me for a moment.”
“Ugh…!”
I cupped Vanessa’s face in both hands and stared intently at her face from up close.
The posture was exactly like I was about to kiss her, so normally Vanessa would have pushed my hands away, claiming she was a butler, but perhaps knowing I was genuinely concerned, Vanessa didn’t offer any particular resistance.
Hmm. Her eyes weren’t bloodshot, and there were no dark circles under them. She certainly looked fine.
Did she really sleep properly, as she said? Then how did she manage to finish her work?
Ah, wait. Did she perhaps use up the time she had set aside to spend with me?
Indeed, the day before yesterday, when we were together under the excuse of ‘butler duties,’ it felt like she was using up that pre-arranged time, didn’t it?
And back then, Diana’s sudden intrusion meant we couldn’t even do it for long.
So, in the end, she had some spare time left over that she’d created, and used it to cover for yesterday’s work, is that it?
If that was the case, I felt incredibly sorry.
“Mmph!?”
Still holding Vanessa’s face in both hands, I gently kissed her lips, imbued with my apologetic feelings.
“…What are you doing? I am a butler right now….”
“Sorry.”
Caught off guard by the sudden ambush, Vanessa couldn’t react and was taken by my kiss, her eyes wide.
She then tried to scold me in a cold voice, but when I stroked her head and apologized, she closed her mouth with a complicated expression.
“…Just get in the carriage.”
I’ll definitely make it up to her later.
