"… What? What did you just say? Did I hear it wrong?"

Elga was terribly bewildered, just as expected.

Her hot, red, boiling octopus face was covered in sweat.

"Are my ears not working properly? Did you really just make that crazy request? You dare ask to touch a Marquis' daughter's chest?"

Elga dismissed it as a crazy request.

Which was true.

Who would dare touch the breasts of a great family's Young Lady, who'd been treated with utmost care and respect since her birth? 

Even if the bodyguards were to slit his throat, he had no say in the matter.

Of course, there were no bodyguards here right now.

On the contrary, Elga was more dangerous than ten bodyguards combined. At this moment, she was frowning so much that I couldn't really say anything.

"You're simply seeking death! Considering that you've contributed and worked hard for the Kingdom, I'll pretend I didn't hear anything. There won't be a next time…"

Did I get rejected here too?

Another failure…

No matter how forward and aggressive Elga was, it seemed that she was still modest enough to not just allow a man to touch her chest.

Her guard was stronger than I thought.

This wasn't a time where I could control Elga at will, yet.

"I'm sorry. Then, please forget what I said."

"Yes, I'll forgive you because I am merciful and generous. However, you can't just go around and say that kind of thing to other girls, like, ever! Don't touch me even if I give you permission, or you'll be executed."

"Yes, I also think that'll be the case."

After giving an appropriate response, I quickly reflected on what just happened.

It was said that hunks could cross the line with the women they liked in just one day.

How on earth did those guys destroy a woman's guard in such a short time?

I could solve many problems with ease, but the relationship between a man and a woman was hard.

If only I could master 'Love', then it wouldn't be hard to seduce Elga or Aira, and have them act according to my plan.

This was really difficult for an amateur 'lover' like me.

The confidence that I had painstakingly built up recently through various hardships continued to crumble.

Was my face the problem?

Was being handsome the answer?

No, the face of this body wasn't something people would call 'ugly'. In fact, you could even say that it was actually quite good-looking.

If there was a flaw, then it would be the large scar on my face.

Jirit, jirit-

I felt a throbbing pain from the top of my right eyebrow to my cheek.

At times, when I thought of the scar, it would start to hurt.

Seuk-

So, I raised my hand and massaged the mark. Gently stroking it helped relieve some of the pain.

However, a small shadow was cast on Elga's expression when she saw this.

"What are you doing now? I know that I'm the one who gave you the scar. Are you pressuring me with this?"

Pressuring you?

I remembered when Elga gave me the scar. It was a year ago, right before we departed for a royal banquet to celebrate Aira's birthday.

"Why did you suddenly bring me here? I thought I was supposed to have a good rest tonight?"

The memories of that time were vivid.

I was brought to the training ground as usual, thinking I would get hit and be Elga's stress relief sandbag.

"Why did you pull out a dagger? You are scaring me…"

"Hey, don't blame me for this, it is unavoidable! Aira is not interested in blemishes or stains."

Chwaak-

Elga then skillfully drew the dagger from my eyebrow to my cheek.

It was the first time I had experienced getting sliced by a blade. I was so stunned and surprised. It was scary, there was so much blood…

"Aira always takes the best things I have. You were a miraculous Half-Nymph slave so I was bound to lose you, alright? Of course, I didn't know you were a Half-Nymph at the time, but…."

Seuk, seuksseuk-

Elga's feet started digging a pit again. From this, I sensed what might be called a gap in her mind.

Was this gap usable?

Having done the calculations, I said my piece, grasping the last straw of hope.

"The scar… The scar would sting at night~."

"That's why I said I was sorry! I was just trying to make a little mark, but you moved and it got bigger than intended. It was your fault!"

Elga screamed out loud.

No, you were blaming the victim for this?

A complex feeling arose from my heart. I didn't know whether it was due to the absurdity of the situation or simply my gloominess.

I was speechless. At this moment, my brows began to frown.

Elga, who was looking at me, also waved her hand in a hurry as if feeling guilty from her own words.

"No, that's not what I meant. Huuu-. Yes, I admit that I was wrong, al… alright? Here, as an apology, I'll let you touch my chest once…"

"Really!?"

When I asked brightly, Elga's expression softened. She seemed relieved.

"I won't say it twice. You can only touch once, only once! I'll give you 10 seconds, no, five seconds!!"

It wasn't the way I intended it to be, but in the end, I was able to touch Elga's chest. It was a bit different from the 'how to tame and control Elga' that I had planned.

Still, if you miss the opportunity to touch a woman's breasts, you are not a man!

Elga had very big honkers.

In fact, even when I was very angry with Elga, there were times when my irritation subsided as I watched them watermelons going up and down.

Could those knockers be the reason for the strangely high morale of Elga's bodyguards?

And I could touch them.

For 5 whole seconds!

At this opportunity, blood naturally flowed to my lower body and something was rising. 

[T/N: It's not the shield hero.]

"Tonight, any bad blood between us so far will be considered settled after this. Do you understand?"

Seueuk.

Elga then puffed her chest forward.

Perhaps it was due to her dress, but the impact was great. Its shape was so mesmerizing that I started drooling.

Now, it was time to finally touch it!

Seureureuk.

I slowly walked towards Elga.

"Ah, wait a minute."

Suddenly, Elga stopped me and took a deep breath.

"Alright, 5 seconds. I'll count and if you touch any longer than that, you are dead!"

"Okay."

"Then-."

Seuk- Putting her hands behind her back, Elga closed her eyes.

Meanwhile, I slowly reached out towards Elga's chest.

I'd only touched a woman's breasts about three times. Actually, it would be more accurate to say that I got to 'lick' them. It was, of course, Aira's breasts, which tasted like soap.

This was the 'real' first time that I had the opportunity to freely touch them with my hands, even if it was only for 5 seconds.

As a man, the primal eroticism from the act of subjugating a woman's breasts deeply resonated in my head. It felt like it was going to explode.

"Go ahead, touch it…"

"Yeah, here I go!"

Seueuk, malkang-

My hands finally reached Elga's giant pair of mommy milkers.

"… This, feels…"

The first thing I felt was the gentle fabric of her dress touching my fingers and the indescribable softness.

"This-."

Molkang. Molkang.

I struggled to hold the soft and elastic goodness between my fingers.

It was actually a little heavier than I thought. I daresaid that it was profoundly rich and 'full'.

"… Three."

It'd already been that long?

I resented the fact that I'd wasted more than half of my precious time being mesmerized. So, to release the anger, I started squeezing.

"… Angggg…!"

There was such a cute sound that I couldn't even believe it came from Elga. But that was only for a brief moment.

"… Hey, do you really have a death wish? Who told you to grab it so strongly!?"

Elga furiously opened her eyes.

Yet my hands would not come off her body, as if they were sucked into her soft bosom.

My hands then found a bump that was starting to rise, enough to be seen through the dress.

Elga's nipples had hardened.

When I realized this, I swiftly decided that I would invest my remaining second to touch it.

Alas, Elga slapped my hands away.

"Five seconds! Time's up! Th, that's it!"

Then, Elga covered her front by folding her arms.

"Now, nothing happened, alright? I've finished apologizing for hurting your eyes. You can't speak to others about this!"

Hwik.

With that, she ran away and disappeared.

"...."

Left alone, I relished the lingering feeling of the voluptuous, resilient and soft pair that remained in my hands…

"If only I could stay for one more day."

It was the next morning.

Reinhardt, the Lioness Family Head, saw Aira off early. Many people in the mansion also came to see and were very much looking forward to the Queen's departure.

Aira looked around and said with a slight frown.

"I can't see Elga…"

"She seems to still be sleeping. According to the servants, she slept late last night. I'll talk to her about this later, though I hope you won't mind too much."

Aira waved her hand at Reinhardt's explanation. It meant that it was fine. Well, she didn't come here to see Elga anyway.

It was a good thing for me too.

After something like what happened yesterday, I had no idea how I would look at Elga. To be honest, I was a little glad she wasn't here.

Reinhardt bowed his head.

"Then, see you soon, Your Majesty. I will go to the palace this afternoon."

"The former Chancellor Fargas will guide you then. Let's go, Theo."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Aira and I proceeded to turn towards the entrance of the mansion.

As the Lioness residence began to fade into the distance, I asked the noisy Aira.

"My Lady, is it really okay for you to not ride the carriage?"

"It's fine. It's not like I'll die from it."

"I see. So, are we heading straight back to the palace today?"

At my question, Aira raised her head and looked up at the sky.

She then slowly lowered her gaze and looked at the surrounding street with narrowed eyes.

"Today is a long-awaited holiday for me, so I want to go for a little walk outside of Monarch City. I would like to see what it's like out here."

Aira wanted to go out of the city?

Wasn't this the first time in the entire year?

As I recalled, Aira never left the Capital, Monarch City. In the first place, it was natural for her to not even go outside the palace.

So, Aira wanting to leave the city so suddenly made me feel a little tense. I didn't know whether it was due to nervousness or a sense of accomplishment.

It was undeniable that Aira was changing.

The bad ending also seemed to be getting farther away.

Also, if Aira went to the academy, she would have to leave her home and learn how to get along with other people. Thus, there was nothing wrong with getting some practice now. 

So, were there any places on the outskirts of town where Aira could visit?

I hurriedly wracked my brain and thought of a beautiful lake near Monarch City, with a castle in between.

"Einrich Castle is nearby. That fortress was built a century ago during the subjugation of the Demon King Angmar. Now, it is used as a tourist attraction. I will take you there."

"Great!"

Maybe it was just my feeling, but Aira seemed excited.

Honestly, I felt good too!

Looking at the beautiful scenery would help Aira's mind and body become more stable, thus improving her personality. By then, it wouldn't be long until she became the good Queen!

Soon, the two of us arrived at Einrich Castle.

━ I, Gorgor, the rightful owner of Einrich Castle. It's Gorgor's possession! Lake, also Gorgor's possession! You intruders! Kill! This is Gorgor's territory! I am the King now!

━Kkeuaak-!

A giant man was seen climbing up the wall, tearing knights and horses apart as if they were chicken breast.

Bolkok, bolkok, bolkok-

The giant twisted the horse's torso. He then flung the piece of meat with one hand like throwing away a can.

━Kneel before this King!

The bloody mess flew in the direction of Aira, splattering her white face with blood.

"...."

I couldn't read the expression on Aira's blood-stained face…

… What was happening?
