Peeping
The hole smelled somewhat musty, but I forgot about it almost instantly.
Because a smell like that was absolutely nothing compared to the sight that unfolded before my eyes.
"Haa... Kael-kun... More... Hngh..."
*Squelch... squelch...*
Inside the hole, Elenoar's face was deeply flushed.
Water droplets dripped from her wet body, and her forehead—usually kept neatly exposed as her signature charm point—was covered in damp strands of hair.
With one hand, she cupped her breast from below, taking the pale pink nipple at its peak fully into her mouth to suckle on it. Meanwhile, her other hand slipped in and out of her cleft at a moderate, steady pace, her body trembling with every stroke.
*Suck... slurp...*
How many women in this world possessed breasts large enough to suck on their own nipples? And how many men were fortunate enough to witness such a shockingly lewd sight...?
Only moments ago, I had been drowning in self-reproach over what had transpired with Lucrezia inside. Yet, the moment I laid eyes on Elenoar pleasuring herself, my shaft hardened into a rigid erection of its own accord.
I felt a pang of self-loathing, but...
Honestly, wouldn't it be stranger to feel absolutely no desire after witnessing a spectacle like this?
"Ngh!"
My cock throbbed with a dull ache.
As my rock-hard glans rubbed painfully against the fabric of my trousers, I instinctively tilted my hips back to ease the friction, but my eyes remained glued to the peephole.
As if she knew I was peeping through the hole, Elenoar cast a sultry, seductive gaze in my direction.
*Suck... slurp...*
The sight of her suckling her own breast went beyond mere lewdness; even the word 'depraved' felt inadequate.
Watching her suck on the tip of a breast so massive that even a giant couldn't cup it in a single hand made me wonder if this was truly Elenoar von Waltern—the noble successor of the Waltern Grand Duchy, once the ruler of a principality, and the revered Valkyrie of Green Light coveted by all men.
Right now, she was nothing short of a temptress. I couldn't help but think that a succubus, a monster said to drain a man's life force to the very last drop, would look exactly like this.
Her wet brown hair clung to her face, glistening with droplets of water. Her gentle features and those green eyes, which usually brought comfort to anyone who looked into them, were now unfocused and heavy with raw, intoxicating lust.
"Elenoar..."
Without thinking, I undid my trousers and pulled out my throbbing erection.
The moment my cock met the cool air, it twitched with heightened excitement. Matching the rhythm of her fingers as she pleasured herself right before my eyes, I began to stroke myself.
I questioned what on earth we were doing—two lovers who had been whispering sweet nothings in the same bed just a few days ago, now separated by a wall like this—but ironically, the 'very interesting thing' she had whispered about earlier was delivering a pleasure far more intense than our actual lovemaking.
I had never imagined that watching my lover pleasure herself would arouse me to such an extreme.
*Suck! Squish! Squelch! Suck! Squish! Squelch!*
The storage room was filled with wanton noises. The wet friction of her fingers sliding in and out of her slick folds, the wet slurping of her suckling her own breast, and the heavy, squelching sound of her massive mounds rubbing together as she did so.
The friction of those two enormous breasts produced an incredibly lewd sound, like sticky surfaces peeling apart and pressing back together...
Wait...?
Just then, between her breasts as they softly mashed and rubbed against each other, I spotted something sticky stretching out. Though the thick steam of the bathhouse obscured my vision, it looked like a thread of viscous fluid bridging the gap between her cleavage. That incredibly erotic sight pushed my arousal to its absolute limit.
"Elenoar...!"
I growled her name under my breath, stroking my shaft even faster.
Compared to Lucrezia, Elenoar had always been the more playful and active one during our intimate moments, but this was on an entirely different level.
For Elenoar to be this lewd. No, this depraved.
If her homeland hadn't fallen to the Empire, she would be sitting on a throne as a noble princess of the Grand Duchy right now...!
Overlapping the image of her sitting in a majestic palace wearing a beautiful gown with the raw, wanton reality before my eyes, I jerked my cock off like a madman.
"Ahhn... Kael...!"
Perhaps Elenoar was reaching her climax as well; she had let go of her breast and was now focusing entirely on her dripping cleft. Her nipples glistened with her own saliva, that mysterious thread still stretched between her breasts, and with every thrust of her fingers, a wet squelch echoed as her juices ran down her thighs...
"Khhh...!"
I reached my peak, spraying my semen directly onto the wooden wall. I looked down at my penis as it pulsed, shooting out thick ropes of white fluid. I had ejaculated far more than usual, a testament to just how intensely aroused I had been, and a delicious, heavy languor washed over my entire body.
"Haa... Haa..."
Catching my breath, I looked up to peer through the hole once more, but it was already blocked by a dense clump of brown mana.
"Hmm~ Hm-hmm~"
Elenoar's soft humming drifted from the other side. A wave of emptiness washed over me. I should have watched her cross the edge... Unable to shake the lingering regret, I lingered by the wall, unable to bring myself to leave.
"Overtime is over, Kael-kun~!"
Perhaps sensing my presence, Elenoar called out. I briefly contemplated using my clairvoyance to keep watching, but she seemed to have finished and was now focusing on washing up, judging by the continuous splashing of water.
In the end, I let go of my lingering desires. I cast one last look at the wall where I had ejaculated. Staring at the semen that was already beginning to dry and the thick trails dripping down the wood, I savored the afterglow of the intense pleasure I had just experienced.
Resolving to ask her to show me her self-pleasure the next time we made love, I quietly retraced my steps and slipped back into our room.
That night.
With Lucrezia and Elenoar holding me tight from either side, I barely slept, drifting in and out of a light doze.
On top of the complicated events of the day, the lingering shame of my recent ejaculation left a hollow sense of self-loathing that haunted me until dawn.
Atryge.
It was a city located in the southwestern region of the Empire, serving as our primary base of operations whenever we set out on our travels. We often deposited heavy gear we couldn't carry into battle or the funds we amassed during our journeys into the city's bank.
After searching the goblin cave and its surrounding areas multiple times to ensure the monsters were completely eradicated, we received the heartfelt gratitude of the villagers before setting off on the road back to Atryge.
When heading to the settlement, we had traveled on horseback, utilizing the nearby Imperial Knights' inns. For our return, however, we hitched a ride in the cargo bed of a merchant caravan heading toward the city.
Since we introduced ourselves as Imperial Knights, we weren't charged a single copper. In fact, we were even provided with rather decent meals during our camps. Of course, we paid our way by repelling a band of bandits that ambushed us along the route. After witnessing us in action, the merchant leader's young son began clinging to us, eagerly asking all sorts of questions.
He asked how one could become a knight, and if all knights were this strong... But after listening to him for a bit, it became obvious that his goal wasn't to learn about knighthood—he just wanted an excuse to talk to my lovers. Every now and then, he would stare blankly up at their chests.
The little brat was bolder than he looked...
Though it was too ridiculous a situation to even feel proper jealousy over.
Still, the boy would blush and giggle as he scurried between them, offering all kinds of small conveniences. At the end of the day, he was just a kid, so they simply humored his antics and played along.
After a few days of travel, we finally arrived in Atryge. True to its status as a free city, it was a bustling hub of commerce and logistics in the southwest.
"Nnngh!"
Thanks to the merchant leader's son, we had the spacious cargo bed all to ourselves, but spending days in a jolting carriage was still an exhausting ordeal. I wasn't the only one feeling the strain; the moment we stepped down, Elenoar let out a soft groan and arched her back. As her massive breasts thrust forward and bounced, the guards at the city gate and the men of the caravan flushed red. Realizing her posture a second too late, Elenoar's face turned as red as a beet, and she quickly hid behind my back.
"Thank you for the ride."
"Not at all. It is thanks to you that we made it back safely."
"Father... I want to be a knight too! I want to travel with the big sisters!"
We expressed our gratitude to the merchants. Behind us, the merchant leader's son was throwing a tearful tantrum.
"We'll meet again when you're older, okay?"
Elenoar patted the boy's head as she bid him farewell. After that, we entered the city. Normally, we would have had to wait in line for inspection like the caravan behind us, but a free city loyal to the Emperor would never dare inspect Imperial Knights—the very swords of the Emperor.
"Atryge is as lively as ever."
The words slipped out of my mouth. After spending days traveling through dirt roads, mountain passes, forests, and settlements with barely fifty households, the sheer scale and prosperity of Atryge felt remarkably refreshing.
"Let's report our quest completion first, then get some dinner."
"My stomach is practically sticking to my spine, Kael-kun~! Let's go eat quickly."
Amused by Elenoar's whining, I coaxed her along as we headed toward the local branch of the Imperial Knights.
*Tinkle.*
The bell above the door chimed as we pushed it open. As we stepped inside, several gazes turned toward us before quickly dispersing.
Despite how rare Imperial Knights were due to the vastness of the Empire, they were gathered here in small groups everywhere you looked. Scanning the room, I didn't see any familiar faces, suggesting none of our fellow graduates from the 32nd class were present.
"You two take a seat and rest. I'll handle the report."
"Okay! Thanks, Kael-kun."
"Junior, please."
The two of them sank into the plush chairs in the lobby. Seeing how exhausted they looked, I wanted to wrap up the report as quickly as possible so we could go rest.
"Welcome to the Atryge branch of the Imperial Knights. It's been a while, Kael."
"Ah, Seren."
An experienced receptionist greeted me from behind the counter. Since we had operated out of Atryge for quite some time, and given my companions' striking looks, formidable skills, and high-born backgrounds, our party had naturally gained a fair share of notoriety.
"Hmm. It looks like you've completed all the requests you took on. It must have been quite a grueling campaign this time."
"That's why everyone is completely exhausted. I'd like to wrap this up quickly and head out to rest."
I handed over the parchment, subtly hinting for her to expedite the process. She reviewed the details written on the document, stamped it complete, filed it away under the counter, and handed over our reward. A small pouch clinked with a metallic ring as she placed it on the table.
The weight of the pouch was satisfying; our hard work in handling multiple requests at once had paid off. It was a bit tight, but we could finally afford to treat Elenoar to the fine dining she had been craving for so long.
"Ele—"
With an uncontrollable smile tugging at my lips, I turned to call out to them, only to freeze. Instead of resting in their chairs, they were standing with icy expressions. In front of them stood a group of unfamiliar men. Judging by their black dress uniforms, they seemed to be recent graduates of the Academy, though I couldn't tell which class. Their faces were entirely new to me.
"Come on, why play so hard to get? It's not like you didn't have your fun back at the Knight Academy."
"Yeah. What, did your price go up just because you're official knights now? We're just looking for a little light fun."
Listening to the exchange, the situation was painfully obvious.
*Sigh.*
A heavy sigh escaped my lips. They had to be from the most recent graduating class.
Ever since we first arrived in Atryge, we had spent a significant amount of time fighting off bastards who tried to hit on them or even force themselves onto them. Most of those encounters ended with them knocked out, but a few had escalated into brutal brawls that left the offenders hospitalized for weeks.
We had finally managed to secure some peace and quiet in Atryge, but with a new batch of graduates arriving, it looked like we might have to go through the whole cycle all over again.
I even had the absurd thought that perhaps this was the price I had to pay for holding two beautiful women like Lucrezia and Elenoar in my arms. Regardless, I needed to chase these bastards off before things escalated.
"Take your hand off her."
I spoke in a low, quiet voice as I saw one of them rest his hand on Lucrezia's shoulder, his fingers already creeping toward her breast.
"Junior..."
Upon my arrival, Lucrezia unexpectedly blushed slightly as she called out to me. Normally, she would have been the first to freeze their limbs off... Seeing her blush like this felt different. If I had to describe it, an overwhelming urge to protect her surged within me. She was undoubtedly stronger than me, and I was often the one receiving her help, but... at this very moment, as her lover and as a man, I felt I had to settle this myself.
"Who the hell are you?"
"Are you this bitch's pimp or something?"
Ignoring their third-rate villain dialogue, I simply walked right up to them, closing the distance until we were nose-to-nose.
The Knight Academy was an academy in name only; in reality, it was practically a cage of wild beasts. With commoners, ruined nobles, and hot-blooded young men and women all tangled together, anyone who didn't swap partners at least three times was mocked as incompetent. Of course, my lovers and I had remained diligent and focused on our studies for our own reasons, but...
To those who had just emerged from that den of beasts, every female knight probably looked like an easy target for a quick lay. While most tried to act like respectable knights after graduation, burying their past behaviors, there were always those who had just graduated or simply refused to change their ways, continuing to live as debauched as they had during their academy days.
And those were always the first to be weeded out.
"Ha! You're dating this scrawny loser? Why not roll with us instead? Surely you girls need a couple of thick, sturdy rods to satisfy you every night, don't you? Looking at those bodies of yours, I bet you were never dry of cum back at the Academy. Am I right?"
The bastard with his hand on Lucrezia's shoulder spat out those vile, vulgar words. Normally, the girls wouldn't have hesitated to tear them apart, but since I had stepped forward, they remained silent, waiting like princesses awaiting rescue by their knight in shining armor.
"Sorry, but we're not interested in that sort of thing. If you back off now, I'll let it slide. This is the Knights' branch, so starting a brawl and breaking things here would be quite troublesome."
"Ha! What a coward. Too scared to even swing a fist? How do you expect to lay pipe properly with that attitude? Though, looking at these bitches' bodies, just shoving it in—"
*Thud!*
In a flash, my fist shot forward, smashing right into his filthy mouth. The bastard flew backward, crashing hard onto the floor with a heavy thud that shook the entire lobby.
"Whoa! Down in one shot!"
"Damn! Talk about a proper welcoming ceremony for the rookies!"
At the sight, the other knights lounging in the branch whistled and cheered, thoroughly enjoying the free entertainment.
"Ugh..."
The guy who took the punch groaned weakly, completely knocked out, while his companions fell dead silent, suddenly very aware of the hostile atmosphere in the room.
"Get him out of here."
With that single command, they quickly dragged their unconscious friend out of the building. After a few more cheers from the crowd died down, I was finally able to lead my lovers toward our lodging.
"..."
I thought they would say something. I was secretly hoping for a "thank you" or "that was amazing," but... they walked beside me in silence, only casting occasional side-glances at me. A sudden pang of disappointment washed over me.
"It's been a while, Miss Lucrezia."
"Well, look who's finally back! Kael, and your lovely ladies."
After exchanging brief greetings with the owner of the Moonlight Inn, we headed up to our spacious room on the second floor. It was a suite we had rented long-term. The staff had kept it impeccably clean during our absence; there was no sign of neglect. Not a speck of dust, no musty smell, and certainly no bugs or cobwebs in sight.
"Elenoar, Lucrezia. Shall we wash up first and then head out for dinner? What do you want to eat tonight? We got a hefty reward today, so let's go to a nice restaurant."
"Sure, sounds great, Kael. But why don't you wash up first?"
"Suddenly?"
Normally, the two of them would bathe first. It was unusual for them to suddenly insist on me going first, but I figured they might just want to take their time afterward without having to worry about someone waiting.
"Alright, I'll go first then."
Since it was a high-quality inn, the attached bath was excellent. Feeling the fatigue melt away from my body, I washed up quickly. As soon as I stepped out, they headed in to prepare for their bath.
While waiting for them, I lay down on the bed—which was easily large enough to fit three people—and closed my eyes for a moment.
"Kael-kun..."
"Junior..."
I must have fallen asleep while intending to just rest my eyes. Through my blurry vision, I saw the soft glow of the moonlight instead of the sun. And then, the quiet voices of the two calling my name.
"Mmm... I guess I fell asleep. It's not too late, is it? We still have to go eat..."
I scratched the back of my head sheepishly as I sat up, only for my eyes to widen and my jaw to drop. Standing right there, looking down at me, were Lucrezia and Elenoar.
And they were wearing incredibly revealing, see-through slips...
"Master... Are you awake?"
Eh...?
