Volume 2 - CH 4.1

R-18

I was planning to use Transfer to go back home, but apparently in such a case I had to make a triumphant return trip. What a troublesome rule that was.

When we got to the entrance of the capital, we changed into a triumphal carriage with the hood removed and started to move forward.

In the center of the street, people from all over the capital had gathered to watch. It seemed that the victory had already been announced throughout the capital. I couldn't stand the stares of the people and waved my hand with a tight smile.

When I finally reached the castle, I was ushered into the audience hall without any time to rest. There were the usual nobles, the king, and Sophie.

「The capture of the fort was brilliant. To conquer the impregnable Istrian with such a small army, your ability is as true as your words.」

「No, the soldiers fought well despite being under an unfamiliar commander. This victory could not have been achieved by my power alone.」

「You don't have to be modest. I don't know if we could have taken down that fort even if we had our best men. Now, before accepting your reward, you should first speak to the one who has been waiting for your return more than anyone else.」

When I turned to Sophie at the king's words, she ran towards me and jumped into my chest as if she couldn't wait to see me. I guess her quiet nature made her long for my return so much that she did this in public.

「Princess Sofia, I'm back as promised.」

「Yes, Yard-sama. I knew you would come back to me.」

She hugged me, and I hugged her back. I could smell her delicious scent in the air, and it stimulated my lower body, which hadn't held a woman in weeks. I managed to keep my mind off of it, thinking that it would be bad to get an erection here.

The nobles around me shouted in admiration. However, some of them looked frustrated, and some of them couldn't hide their angry expressions. After all, there are still people who don't like me taking credit.

「Fumu, it's good that you're getting along so well. Viscount, you may call yourself a Count from this day on. I'll also officially recognize your marriage to my daughter Sophia.」

「Thank you.」

「I will have the other rewards sent to the mansion later, so you may return to the mansion first. I'm sure you'll have to make a lot of preparations for the wedding. I want you to have a splendid ceremony that will live up to your achievements.」

「I will do so.」

「Umu, let's discuss the date of the ceremony at a later date.」

With the king's words, the audience was over. After leaving the audience hall, I took Sophie back to her room.

「Once again, Yard-sama, welcome back.」

「Yeah, I'm so relieved to see that Sophie looks the same.」

I was relieved to see Sophie smiling as the maid made her tea. I had thought that there might be some disturbance from the church, but it seems that nothing happened after all.

「Yard-sama, I'd like you to tell me about the battle of the fort.」

「Yeah, although there was not much to tell.」

At Sophie's request, I told her about the battle at the fort. It only took me about five minutes to finish, but I think I could have talked longer. It was a battle that had been won or lost before we even entered the fort.

Even with such a small amount of content, Sophie was happy to hear it. I think she was partly concerned about me, but I was still grateful.

「Robert-oniisama also praised Yard-sama. When the order to attack the fort came, he was adamant that he would lead the reinforcements.」

「I see, I may have been recognized as a suitable husband for Sophie a little.」

「Fufu, I guess so. Onii-sama is a shy person, so he doesn't say what he really thinks very often. So this is the first time I've seen him praise someone honestly. He must have liked Yard-sama that much.」

It's true that when he came as a reinforcement, Robert's atmosphere was lighter than before the capture of the fort. It's not as if I'm happy to be liked by a man, but Sophie seems to be happy, so it's okay.

After that, we talked about trivial things and decided to go back to the mansion when the time was right.

※

When I moved directly to the basement, I found Fairis with her back to me.

I tried to call out to her, but there was something wrong with her. I'm not sure why, but she's wearing the robe I lent her before, her body is shaking slightly, and most importantly, I could hear the sticky sound of water coming from her direction.

「...... mmm ...... mmm, hmm ......」

Then there was this panting voice that sounded like she was forcing it down. From this fact, I knew instantly what she was doing. Yes, masturbation.

The first thing I saw when I came back to the mansion was Fairis masturbating, which was a joke too funny to be true.

I've been in a woman's drought for weeks, so her lasciviousness excites me. It is not a good time to attack her when I was about to marry Sophie, so I tried to talk to her and stop her.

「...... Yard, samaa, ...... there ......」

But her mumbling voice stopped me in my tracks. If she dared to wear my robe to masturbate, that meant she was using my robe as a masturbation tool, right?

Of course, it could be for the simple reason that I was the closest man to her. But I hadn't had a woman in a while, and all I could think of was that she was asking me out.

I was going to ask Tia out tonight to relieve my libido, but after seeing Fairis in such a lascivious state, I was running out of patience.

I approached her with my footsteps and pushed her down on the bed when she noticed the sound and looked back at me.

I took her lips from mine, as she was stunned by the sudden event. I held her down with my hands and feet to prevent her from escaping, and then twisted my tongue into her mouth.

She finally understood what was going on and hurriedly tried to escape from my restraints, but her strength was not enough to shake me off. Her lips were tightly closed and she was refusing my tongue, so I pulled her face away from mine.

Her face was flushed and her skin was a little sweaty from masturbating until the last second. Most people in this world don't bathe and use perfume to cover up their body odor, and she must be one of them. There was no perfume here, so the scent of females wafted strongly from her sweaty skin.

「Ya, huh? Yard, sama, why are you doing this?」

「It's Fairis-dono fault, you know? It looks like you're trying to seduce me, masturbating in someone else's clothes」

「Ah, y-you're wrong! This is ......」

She seemed to be desperately trying to think of an excuse, but that didn't matter anymore. The only thing that mattered now was that I was going to unleash my pent up sexual desire on her.

I tried to stick my tongue in her again, but she closed her lips and resisted. It was a rather dull response for someone who had just been using me as an excuse to wank off. I had no choice but to push a little harder.

I tore off her robe in one gulp to avoid damaging her skin, and her body, slightly flushed from the fire, appeared. She was apparently wearing the robe directly over her naked body, with no underwear at all. Her breasts, though relatively modest, were blood-colored and had a healthy sexiness to them.

「Oh, no, please don't look!」

Embarrassed to be seen naked in person, she covered her breasts with her arms, but I had to force her to away it.

The size of her breasts was modest compared to Tia's and Sophie's, but it was enough to make a man feel inferior. In fact, some men might even prefer them since they were big enough to fit in their hands.

The expression on her face, as if she was about to cry, stimulated my taste to torment her. It would be fun to make her cry out like this, but I'll make her feel a little better. I kissed her neck and collarbone to relieve the tension. Her skin was glistening and absorbent, and even the slightest touch made her react sensitively.

「Ah, mmm!」

I sucked on her skin a little harder and left a clear red mark on her white skin. When I sucked on it, she let out a small gasp, so she was obviously getting pleasure from it.

「Oya, Fairis-dono, are you feeling it even though you're being raped?」

「Y-you're wrong! This is the Yard-sama forcing himself on me, Nnhh!」

「You can shake me off if you don't want to, you know?」

「Hyauhhh!」

Although she doesn't like it with her mouth, her resistance is weaker than before. I don't know if it's a weakness for pleasure or simply she's lewd, but I'm grateful that it's convenient for me.

I touched her secret area to check if it was wet, which was probably due to the fact that she had been masturbating right up until then, so I applied my cock to it. She seemed to know what was hitting her crack, but she didn't move.

Normally, a woman who is being forcibly raped would resist desperately. The fact that she doesn't do so and looks away is probably because she is unconsciously expecting it, not because she has given up.

「If I keep going like this, I'm going to enter inside you, is that okay?」

「P-please don't, if you continue. ......」

「I'm going to put it in.」

「Mmm, it hurts!]

I took her silence as an affirmation and thrust my rod into her secret region. I took the silence as an affirmation, and thrust my rod into her clit. After a little while, she resisted, so I pushed harder and penetrated, and Fairis was in pain. It seemed she was a virgin after all.

She was not used to being fucked by a man, so she was tight inside, and the feeling of being forced open was good for the feeling that I was fucking a woman. It's not enough that she accepts me and doesn't resist too much, but I've decided that it's a different kind of joy to have her virginity taken by me.

「Oh, mmm, fuhh.」

I stopped shaking my hips for a little while, and to distract her, I opened her mouth and screwed my tongue into it.

Fairis tried to push my tongue back with her tongue, but the result was that our tongues rubbed against each other, which only increased my arousal. She seemed to be doing the same, and gradually moved from pushing back to intertwining and rubbing her tongue against mine.

As our tongues intertwined, she seemed to get used to the pain, and her eyes, which had been tightly closed in agony, softened and became enraptured. When we separated our mouths, saliva was running down our tongues.

「Even though you're being forcibly raped for the first time, Fairis-dono is surprisingly fond of it.」

「I'm, not ......」

She seemed to be embarrassed but didn't really mean it, and her insides tightened up when she heard my words.

「I don't know why you would want to deny it, though. Oh well, let's continue.」

「Oh, wait a minute, please. Aahhh!」

The pain seems to have subsided a bit, and I can afford to keep going, so I start moving my hips again. Compared to last time, her eyebrows were lowered as if she was feeling a little bit of pleasure in her painful expression.

「I didn't know you could get pleasure for your first time. It seems that you just love to masturbating.」

「Fueh?」

「You didn't think I didn't notice, did you? Didn't you always pretend to be asleep when I had sex with other women?」

「Ah, ehh. ......」

Her face grew redder and redder, like a boiled octopus. Her mouth kept opening and closing like a fish, unable to formulate a word. She was probably too embarrassed to speak, and was about to die of embarrassment.

「W-Were you aware of this!?」

「Of course. If you feel that many eyes on you, it's easy to see that you've fallen asleep.」

「Ugh ......, p-please don't look at me!」

I grabbed her hand to stop her from covering her face in embarrassment and watched her teary-eyed expression. I knew she looked good half-crying from being tormented.

The reason why I want to make her cry, even though she is not a strong person, is probably because she has a tendency to be tormented.

「Well then, I guess it's time to let me get serious.」

「Ehh, ah! No, ahh, Nnhuhh!」

I was getting impatient, so I started thrusting into her even harder than before. The pain seemed to have subsided considerably for Fairis, and she seemed to be enjoying the pleasure more than the pain, even though I was going this hard.

The fact that she was getting pleasure for her first time, even though she was a virgin, was probably thanks to the masturbation she used to do. It was nice not to have to assist her with the technique.

「Fuuhh, Nnhhh, hmmm!」

Fairis was trying her best to keep her voice down by sucking the bed sheet into her mouth, as if she couldn't control her moans anymore. She didn't want me to think she was feeling it for her first time.

But when a woman is trying to hold back her moans, a man's heart wants to make her scream. I shook my hips even harder, and at the same time, I picked her clit and played with it. She opened her mouth and let out an inarticulate cry, as the bud she always used for masturbation seemed to be the part she felt the most.

「Okay, Fairis-sama, it's about time for me to let it out!」

「Aahhhh, P-please wait! Let it out outside please, not inside!」

「It's too late! I'm cumming!」

「Ahh, aaahhhhh! It's coming inside me!?」

Fairis seemed to climax at the same time I did. I slammed my hips deep into her and ejaculated, her vagina tightening and quivering with my load.

Her eyes widened in shock as I kissed her on the mouth, and this time she accepted my tongue without resistance.

My first ejaculation in a long time lasted longer than usual, during which time our tongues were hotly intertwined. When I pulled out my cock, the blood from the rupture came out mixed with the white semen.

※

Once I ejaculated, I cooled down and regretted that I had done something outrageous.

After all, it was bad enough that I hadn't processed it in weeks. Originally I had thought that I could just do it with Tia, but it seemed that I hadn't been able to reason as well as I had expected.

Fairis had already wiped off the dirt and put on her usual clothes. However, anyone could tell that she was post-emotional from the way her skin was still flushed and burning and the way she was worried about the discomfort in her crotch.

I wondered if I should erase her memory like I had done with the girl I had attacked before, but now that she was no longer a virgin, there would be some confusion somewhere. What should I do now?

As I was wondering what to do, Fairis approached me.

「Yard-sama, may I have a word with you?」

「...... Oh, what is it?」

「I have been indebted to Yard-sama for a long time, but it would be a nuisance for me to stay here indefinitely. If your marriage with Sophia-sama is approved, then Yard-sama will no longer be accused of heresy, and I will be able to return to my own home soon.」

「I see, do as you please.」

「Right, please give my regards to Tia-san and the others.」

Fairis then left the basement without even carrying the bare minimum of luggage.

I felt relieved that I wasn't blamed for my earlier actions, but at the same time, I felt an unfathomable anxiety as to why she didn't denounce me, and my head hurt thinking that I had gotten myself into trouble again. This time it was my own fault, so I had no choice.

While I was agonizing over Fairis' attitude, Tia and Natalia entered the room.

「Master, welcome back.」

「Yard, if you're back, you should show your face here first.」

Tia seemed to be looking forward to my return, and I could tell that even her normally calm expression was happy now. Natalia also had a strong tone, but her mouth was torn a little as she was happy to see me back.

「Fairis-sama returned to her home earlier.」

「Yes, she felt it was time for her to be taken care of.」

「That's right, the saint is a sensible person, unlike Yard, so I'm sure she's got her head on straight.」

「I don't have anything to say to that. Anyway, what happened with Bishop Philpott since then?」

I'm thankful that Natalia's sarcasm can distract me now. We hadn't seen each other in a long time, so we had a lot to talk about, but I was curious about what I had told Tia before we left, so I asked her about the bishop first.

「That bishop had been acting very cautiously, but I finally caught his tail. They don't have a direct connection, but it seems that the Second Prince, Rand is involved.」

「The Second Prince?」

As I recall, he was the only prince born from a side family, and I think he was about the same age as Sophie. I don't know the details because he didn't leave much of an impression.

「Why would teaming up with the second prince lead to him attacking me?」

「Isn't he afraid that he will lose his position in the line of succession to the throne? If a child is born between Master and the First Princess, your child order of succession will be higher than that of the Second Prince.」

Hearing Tia's words, I regretted that I hadn't thought of that possibility. It's true that he might be the one who would be most troubled if Sophie and I got married. He's second in line of succession, but if Sophie's child is a boy, he'll be one step down.

In this country, the right of succession to the throne is given to the male members of the regular family in order of succession, followed by the children of the regular family, or in other words, the grandchildren of the regular family. The children of the side chambers are the last in the order of succession, so if Sophie and I had a baby boy, he would be the second in the current order of succession.

Robert is leading the kingdom's army, so there is a good chance that he will die. So far, he had a good shot at the throne, but if Sophie had a child, his position would be in jeopardy.

「I see, that's what I thought.」

「Furthermore, the Savile family, the family of the second prince's mother, Ursula-sama, is a family that has produced cardinals and bishops of the church for generations. Through the Savile family, the prince's influence on the Church will be considerable. However, since they didn't have a direct relationship with Bishop Philpot, it took me a while to get there.」

But what to do? To be frank, he's a more troublesome opponent than Duke Dian. He had solid evidence that he was connected to the Demon Empire, but in the case of the prince, he wasn't directly connected to the bishop, making it difficult to eliminate him socially.

「Of all people, royalty. ...... Any ideas?」

「I think it is impossible to try to deal with the royalty head on. ...... There should be no direct relationship, so even if you try to prove the connection with the bishops, I think they have already taken action. I think the master has no choice but to deal with it directly.」

「I don't want to use force when I don't know how many people are involved, though. For now, let's cut off one of the roots.」

「What are you going to do?」

「I'm going to ride over to the second prince. Tia, while I'm out, please escort Fairis without being noticed.」

「Leave it to me. Take care of yourself, Master.」

Tia followed Fairis, who had just left, out of the room. Natalia, who had barely spoken since earlier, approached me as soon as she was gone.

「Yard, I've missed you for so long.」

「I'm sorry. The battle itself was over quickly, but it tookk time to take over that fort.」

As if to make up for the relatively long time we hadn't seen each other, she hugged me and stroked my body, but then she suddenly noticed something and gave me a suspicious look.

「Yard, could it be that you've even embraced the saint?」

「It's force majeure.」

「You're the worst.」

She pulled herself away from me and looked at me with a mixture of anger and contempt in her eyes. I tried to make some excuse, but I couldn't say anything back since I had attacked her.

「It's because you've been accumulating while you were at the fort anyway, right? If you had asked me, I would have been happy to help you.」

「Yeah, I don't have anything to say back to that.」

「Anyway, you should go apologize to the saint and prepare to die, okay? I'll keep Tia and the princess in the dark.」

「I'm sorry. I owe you one.」

「Oh, Geez, you're in such good shape.」

When I hugged her, she was annoyed for a moment, but she immediately smiled and hugged me back. It helps to be in love with someone at times like this.

She continued to entwine her legs in a lusty way and sent me streaming eyes. It's obvious she's asking me out, but right now I'm more interested in taking a bath. I gently pull her off me and kiss her disgruntled mouth. I let our tongues tangle for a while, then slowly pulled my mouth away.

「That's all for now. See you later.」

「...... Got it, absolutely sure. We can do it tonight, right?」

「I have a fiancée. I can't get another woman pregnant when I'm getting married first. ......」

「I've heard that you just had sex with saint. And if you're talking about pregnant, I'm probably already pregnant.」

「...... Wait, what did you just say?」

「I'm sure I'm already pregnant.」

「It's true that I wasn't using contraception at the time, but I've heard that the fertilization rate of elves is lower than that of humans. So how do you know that?」

「Because you used that aphrodisiac. It's not just an aphrodisiac, it also has the effect of increasing the fertilization rate for elves who have difficulty conceiving. I've never heard of anyone using it and not getting pregnant.」

「Why would you use something like that ......」

I don't want to add to the trouble I'm already in. How could I impregnate another woman before marriage? My stomach is starting to ache like it's tightening up from stress.

You wouldn't normally think that the aphrodisiac would have such an effect in the first place. If what she's saying is true, there's a good chance I've already impregnated her, but if it has that kind of effect, please tell me first.

In addition, was it Lily, or is it possible that she's pregnant since I gave her the aphrodisiac as well? The surgical imprint makes normal fertilization impossible, but I don't know what would happen if I used drugs. I'll have to check carefully later.

「How long does it take for an elf to have a baby?」

「About a year, give or take.」

This is going to be a pain in the ass. At any rate, I'll have to be honest with Sophie. A nobleman having a child is different from a civilian having a child. After all, as long as they have blood in their veins, there is a possibility of a family disturbance.

Especially if the child was born before Sophie's child, it was out of sight. Normally, Sophie's child would be the next head of the family, but even the royal family has a seniority system. There is a high possibility that the other nobles will flock to her without regard for such things, and the situation will become a quagmire.

「Isn't it possible that it hasn't been done?」

「Do you think so?」

「...... I hope so, but I don't think so.」

This is a serious impasse. The only thing left to do is to get Sophie's permission and after a while, put her in as a concubine or side room. Illegitimate children are out of the question.

If this was going to happen, I should have been more careful. For now, I'll leave her for later and concentrate on the bishop and the prince for now. To do that, I have to go take a bath first.

For some reason, I took Natalia with me to take a bath while my thoughts were still confused. She seemed to like the bath as well, and stayed in it for a long time until she fell over the edge. I also misjudged my limit and lost consciousness, so we both collapsed on the floor, upside down, until we were discovered by a maid who came to take a bath.
