"...."
Yu Ina hardened her face.
She had been trying to play nice, even suppressing her personality to do so, but not only did he insult her husband, he even ignored her warning.
No, not just ignoring it—he was mocking her by dragging the family into it.
Until yesterday, it wasn't this bad; she was starting to feel like he was going insane bit by bit.
"So what if you look at me like that?"
"I won't stay quiet any longer."
"Ha. So what are you gonna do?"
"What Jin Seong-hyeon did to me, and his attempt to kill my husband—I'll report it all to the Committee."
"That's a laugh. You think that'll change anything?!"
"It will change. Because it won't be remembered as a 『Noblesse』's death anymore, but a criminal's death."
"You bitch!"
The moment Jin Ji-hye shot up from her seat, zzak!—her cheek whipped around.
Ha Yeon-seo had struck her.
"A person needs some dignity. Cut it out already. You know everything there is to know, right?"
"Th...!"
"And what gives you the confidence to act like that? Can't you see what's right in front of your eyes?~. Act like a family head. Don't let your emotions devour you."
"...."
Grit.
Murderous rage.
Her glaring eyes seemed like they could pierce right through steel.
"So what if you look at me like that? You gonna wage war on us or something?"
"You guys... you think you have no power if you're not one of the Five Great Families?"
"Not exactly, but looking at you, that Jin Family or whatever doesn't seem like much."
"Me—,"
"And, I'd appreciate it if you left now. I don't know what you were expecting when you came here, but I have no intention of chatting with rude people."
Yeonseo issued a clean guest dismissal order, then moved to the chair attached to the desk, as if she had no intention of dealing with her anymore.
She blatantly crossed her legs, even giving obvious hints to get out quick.
"Ha...."
Feeling intense humiliation, Ji-hye trembled as she ground her teeth, then finally glared at Yu Ina and Yeonseo before storming out of the room.
Deep down, she wanted to flip the whole Academy upside down, but while she could snipe with words, taking direct aggressive action could cause serious harm to the family—so she had to hold back.
"Ugh~ What an extreme bitch."
"...I'm exhausted."
"Phew... but aren't you being way too nice?"
"Huh?"
"If it were me, I'd have decked her the second I laid eyes on her."
Pretty stressed from dealing with Ji-hye, she lit up her third cigarette already.
"But you know, the root of all this crap is that guy. Pulling shady shit. And he even tried to kill that human. So he deserves to die, right?"
"That's true."
"Sigh. If they weren't 『Noblesse』, we wouldn't be dealing with this stress~. Just squash 'em flat, done. Isn't that right?"
"...."
After puffing away at her cigarette for a while, she pulled out a new topic like she was trying to lighten the mood.
"Oh yeah, that human from yesterday? Borrowed 100,000 gold from me."
"...He really went and did it?"
"Yeah. But don't chew him out too hard~. In exchange for giving me 10% more shares, I took a whole district. If anything, I'm the one taking a loss."
"A district?"
"You know the Slums in the outer sector. For me, it's just a pain in the ass to deal with—like a chicken rib—but perfect for some guy trying to start a business, yeah?"
"You handed over the whole thing?"
"Yup. Figured I'd clean out the Slums while I'm at it. Use 'em as slaves, sell 'em off, whatever—he's on his own. Since you're the wife, you should know the contract details, right?"
"......Did you know Rihana lives there?"
"Rihana?"
"The vice president."
"Ah."
Yeonseo's mouth fell open like she hadn't even considered it.
Yu Ina shook her head like she had a headache.
"Umm... might stir up some annoying crap... but it should be fine. The contract says transfer of ownership for 'unregistered objects.' That Beastkin is registered here, isn't she?"
"But her race lives in the Slums. If they use that as leverage to threaten, it won't be so easy to brush off, will it?"
"......Well... fate, then."
"...."
"Honestly, why should we give a damn? Even if it's the 1st floor, this is The Tower."
"Hmm..."
"Or is what you're worried about something else?"
"...What do you mean?"
"Well... he's your husband and all. Jealous, maybe?"
"Ha. What kind of joke is that?"
She let out a dumbfounded laugh.
Jealousy? What kind of nonsense.
Her relationship with Ryu Si-hwan was nothing more than a marriage forced by circumstance.
Whatever he did with other women, she wouldn't feel jealousy.
"It's just unpleasant."
"Eung~ In the world, that's usually what they call jealousy~."
"No."
"Alright, alright. If you say you're not, I'll believe you."
Yeonseo flashed a sly smile.
A luscious grin mixed with guilt and a thrill of immorality.
Come to think of it, yesterday had been something truly special.
Somehow, she ended up having sex with Yu Ina's husband, Ryu Si-hwan—the guy staring at her from that sofa right there—and she even took it in the ass.
'To go for that hole, of all places.'
Sihwan was her first real man.
It wasn't her first time doing intimate stuff, but that had been limited to playing with feet or hands like toys, or stepping on him during some SM play—she'd never allowed full insertion before.
For some inexplicable reason, she'd been powerfully drawn to Sihwan's freshness—grating as it was—and ended up spreading her legs for him, only for the bastard to shamelessly thrust into her back entrance first.
Her first time being anal? What the hell....
Of course, she wasn't completely clueless.
She'd vaguely heard that backdoor sex was a thing.
But common sense-wise, that hole wasn't made for that— was it normal for someone to just ram it in there from the jump?
'Moodless asshole.'
She hadn't given it a second thought until just now, but actually dwelling on it was pissing her off.
No.
Anal from the very start.
"Ridiculous."
"Huh?"
"Nothing. Anyway..."
She'd vent this anger on the bastard's wife.
"Have you had sex with your husband yet?"
"...Y-yes?"
Her stiffened expression rapidly flushed with panic.
"I'm asking if you've had sex. You're married."
"N-no... why would you ask something like that?!"
"Why not? He was our employee. Oh, wait—not anymore? Still together till this batch, though~."
"......"
Yu Ina blushed and bowed her head.
"Oh my, don't tell me you still haven't?"
"..."
She'd known, but seeing that reaction up close was equal parts cute and guilt-inducing—stirring up all sorts of feelings.
'God, I wanna just blurt it out.'
What kind of face would this shy girl make if she said, 'Actually, I fucked your husband first'?
It was driving her insanely curious.
But if she did, their relationship would be totally wrecked—and worst case, it could escalate into a full-blown family feud.
Any other family, maybe fine—but crossing the Yu Family? Even as the Ha Family's granddaughter, it'd throw massive roadblocks in her future.
"You should do it quick~. What if someone else snaps him up?"
"No way. Who'd take a mannerless clown like that?"
"That human might gobble her up. Rihana or whoever."
"..."
"He's got human slaves too. Dolls. Doll-fucker, wasn't it?"
"D-doesn't matter. From the start... I don't care what that human does."
"Really?"
"It was just a marriage forced by the contract, nothing more."
"Better to be honest with your feelings~."
"I'm always honest."
"Yeah, yeah—if you say so~."
Yeonseo held back her bubbling laugh as she eyed her.
That still-flushed face of hers was just too damn cute.
'Should I make her front hole my first too?'
Lust flared up hot.
If she played it right, she could claim first Noblesse there as well.
'And payback for what I took yesterday.'
Yu Ina suddenly seemed kinda pitiful, but whatever— the second that doll-fucker label stuck, she wasn't a virgin anymore anyway.
She had a fierce craving for being the 'first Noblesse,' sure—but if you really thought about it, it was pretty meaningless.
"But you do know, right? You gotta prepare well."
"......Y-yes."
"Humans... well, not just humans—men in general are fragile as hell, so you gotta handle 'em right. Crush it by accident and you're in deep shit?"
"Cr-crush..."
"It might mash up like potatoes."
"Ugh...."
Evidently hit with a gruesome mental image, Yu Ina's face turned green.
"O-of course... I'll prepare so that doesn't happen."
"Oh? So you are planning to do it?"
"...!"
Her already red face went full crimson.
What a little cutie pie.
Cool and collected on the surface, but poke her a tiny bit and out comes the derp every time.
"Start with steady skinship and some Reading. Gotta know the dick's specs to protect the pussy."
"Eek...!"
"Hehe. Too raw for a newbie, huh~?"
Yeonseo grinned cheekily.
Teasing Yu Ina like this was melting away all the stress from today.
"Whisper in that human's ear that you want him to plug it. He'll lose his shit."
"Th-that won't happen."
Pushed past her limit by the nonstop dirty talk, Yu Ina couldn't take it anymore and shot to her feet.
"If there's nothing else... I'll be going..."
Then she bolted from the room like she was fleeing.
"Really cute~."
