017 – How A Sheep Lives In A Lion's Den #2

Monarch City, the city of Kings.

There was a fairly large training ground built in the Lioness Family's villa, the Lion's Den.

The training ground was dotted with woodblocks, scarecrows, straw bales and trenches filled with ditch water.

It was originally a place to train the soldiers of the Lioness Family, but after Elga held a sword, this place became her own private space.

It was also a place that reminded me of many unforgettable 'memories'. Memories of my military life, that was.

"Is this good? Here, no one will come even if you scream like you're dying. Even if I teach you a lesson, no one will interfere!"

At this place where not a single soul could be found, Elga raised her head as if she had truly become a queen. Then, she spoke in an arrogant voice.

"So, if you don't want your nose to get hurt, apologize to me!"

This reminded me of the old days.

Back when I was just a slave.

I used to be the servant that had to deal with the feisty Elga.

It was a daily routine for me to be smacked on the back of the head, pinched on the cheeks, or pulled by the ears.

A slave without human rights…

On the other hand, it was also an unforgettable place because many things happened at this training ground. For example, the time when my first kiss was stolen by Elga.

Remembering it suddenly made me angry.

"What do you mean I have to apologize?"

When I asked back, Elga frowned at me.

"That attitude! And you've been looking at me with strange eyes for a while now! Admit it!"

What do you mean by 'looking at you with strange eyes'?

Now that I thought about it, Elga was always like this.

Could I call her a part-introvert? She acted differently when she was outside. At home, however, she would become more confident and violent.

Of course, since Elga was already a hyperactive person in public, it would be more accurate to say that she turned into a "Super Saiyan" at home.

Having the home ground advantage, Elga simply refused to listen to anyone else and just said whatever she wanted.

"By the way, did you tell anyone else about that 'thing' we did?"

"What do you mean?"

"You even have to ask!? That thing when I 'teach' and 'punish' you every time we are alone like this."

"Of course not. Who would even believe me?"

"Good, alright then."

Only after hearing this did Elga's expression loosen up.

Elga was reluctant to reveal that the two of us were seeing each other. After all, Elga had her own common sense compared to Aira.

She was the Lady of the great Lioness Family. Someday, she would naturally have to get engaged. Even if it was for politics.

If there were rumors that she was alone with a man, it would not look good. After all, the social world was a place where rumors could circulate very quickly.

This was why the nobles of this world made their sons and daughters act like pious Puritans, who were ignorant of sexuality.

Basically, it was a very conservative outlook.

The problem was that, compared to others, Elga was an active and curious Bengal cat.

Furthermore, she also had a test subject to satisfy her curiosities.

Obviously, it was me. I couldn't tell if I was lucky or not…

"If you don't apologize right away, I'll leave you out here for the entire day. You know that I, Elga, do what I say, right?"

"I'm sorry."

"See, if you apologize like that, it will all be over. But, you did stiffly raise your head up at the end, which warranted a punishment… So?"

"I'm sorry. I apologize. I'm sorry for looking at you with strange eyes. Are you happy now?"

"…."

Elga raised an eyebrow in surprise. Her bundle of hair, which resembled a lion's mane, fluttered in the wind.

After a while, Elga said as if she had finally finished gathering her thoughts.

"Okay then, you apologized and followed my words well. Since you're obedient, there should be a reward, right? I am nice to those who know their place."

Elga then rummaged through the tiny pouch tied around her waist. She pulled out a small, round object and showed it to me.

"What is this?"

"It's Bashkir honey candy. Real Bashkir Honey Candy made with honey stolen from the honey water Nymphs. It's legitimate. You've never tried this, have you?"

It was candy…

Did she mistake me for a kid?

But then, a strange thing happened.

My body started to heat up in response to the candy. Like how one would wish for rain in the desert in order to quench their thirst.

"What is happening…?"

"Yeah, you want to eat it, don't you? I knew it! I heard you're a Half-Nymph? Your Nymph blood definitely wants the candy!"

"How did you know that?"

The fact that I was a Half-Nymph should have been a secret between Aira and myself as we were the only people present at the time.

I was curious about how Elga knew this. When I asked, she gave me a vague answer.

"Don't underestimate the Lioness Family! I know what you'd been doing with Aira, alright?"

"You might be wearing disguises, but there would still be clues left behind."

"More importantly, a Half-Nymph! Now that I have a closer look, it's indeed a very strange race. Hmm, it would explain the aesthetics of this body…"

Elga pretended to give the candy to me.

But then, she shoved it into her mouth.

"Come! If you want it, you will have to take it!"

Elga was like a dragon with a Yeouiju{1}. The brilliant golden candy in her mouth, I could feel it calling for me.

My body must be craving sugar since I'd been using my brain quite intensively these days…

With that thought in mind, I slowly approached and reached for Elga's mouth.

I was going to take the candy out with my hand.

But Elga angrily swatted my palm away.

"Ya- Who said you could use your hand? Hands and feet are not allowed."

"Then—"

"No tools either!"

"Tsk…"

"Ya, did you just click your tongue? Do you want it or not? Even high aristocrats like me can only get a few of this with reservations. I heard from Bionoi that Nymphs are especially crazy about this."

Ah, Bionoi!

Elga must have heard that I was a Half-Nymph from her.

Also, one candy cost 5 silver or 50,000 won.

What a luxury this was!

For some reason, the thought of such an item melting inside the mouth of that wretched Elga made me very angry.

You bad girl! Being born in such a nice family and living with all this money.

"Go on! Take it! Don't you want to eat it?"

"Ahhh," Elga opened her mouth, rolling her red tongue around the bead-sized candy.

"What are you waiting for? Are you not going to take the reward? At this rate, it will melt away!"

Now that I think about it, this would be better than that throat-stinging Enchanting Herb Cigar anyways.

So, I reluctantly made up my mind and went to Elga's side, placing my lips on her mouth.

I felt a soft breath when I put my tongue inside her lips.

"What!?"

Kwadang.

Elga, not expecting my move, staggered backwards and fell on her butt.

Meanwhile, I maneuvered my tongue to snatch the candy from her half-open mouth.

Cheureup, chyureup, cheureup.

However, due to the candy's size, I could not transfer it into my mouth.

It was tastier this way, right?

When the sugar touched the tip of my tongue, the fatigue in my body and the worries that had been accumulating inside my head instantly disappeared! This discovery made me want to taste more!

"Aeut, heu, heueu- What, what's this all of a sudden, Haaat-!?"

Elga kept trying to push me away.

After saying she would teach me the taste of a woman's lips, we'd already kissed several times.

Shouldn't she be used to my tongue by now? It seemed that the inside of her mouth was more sensitive than I initially thought.

I explored Elga's mouth to my heart's content, as revenge for what she'd put me through.

Although Elga's words were spicy, the inside of her mouth was sweet.

Chyureup, chyureup.

It was honey flavor!

After kissing for a while, Elga turned her face to the side and exhaled deeply. Then, she shouted.

"Haa, haaa, haa, this, this guy…. All of a sudden…. Get away from me…! Get the hell away…!"

You wanted me to leave?

You promised to give me the candy, but you were just going to eat it yourself in the end?

That was absolutely unacceptable nymphophobic behavior!

I grabbed Elga's head as she tried to run away.

Elga was resisting, but I could feel the power slowly draining out from her body. Instead, trembling convulsions began to appear.

"Eu, heueu. This, this guy-, eueup, heueu, who said that you could do this…? Heua-."

Just as I was about to grab the candy.

"Noona…?"

"...!!!"

At the sudden sound of a small, fragile voice, Elga immediately threw me away.

"Noona…? What are you doing there…? Are you okay…?"

"Ri, Richard! What are you doing here? I told you not to come here because it's dangerous!"

Elga hurriedly got up and approached the young boy.

The boy's face, with his neatly combed blond hair, white shirt with suspenders and shorts, looked to be about four or five years old.

It was Richard, Reinhardt's little treasure.

Why was he here instead of their home in West Borgia?

Maybe because this was my first time meeting Richard, the strangely boiling excitement began to subside.

Then, clarity and reason hit me like a truck.

My god… What was I trying to do with the candy?

Was it my inner Nymph?

Things that I had never thought of flashed like lightning in my head. It even felt like this wasn't my brain.

I spat the remaining sweet honey out of my mouth and collected my breath.

Then, I gathered the new information in my head.

Firstly, Nymphs turned crazy around Bashkir Honey Candies.

Secondly, the Nymph blood flowing inside me was thicker than expected.

This was something I hadn't known for the past year. Naturally, it shocked and freaked me out.

I would have to be more careful about this…

"I-."

Suddenly, I felt someone approaching me with small steps.

Turning my head, I saw a slender little kid who was looking up at me.

"You are Sir Gospel, right…? Thank you for saving my sister."

"Saving your sister…?"

"Noona choked while swallowing the candy. I heard that Sir Gospel saved her!"

I started to wonder what this was all about. However, upon raising my head, I saw Elga standing next to Richard and gesturing towards me.

She probably wanted me to go along with it.

So, rather than an epic battle between tongues to decide the ownership of some candy, Elga said that she merely choked?

I was impressed. Elga actually used her head…

"I will speak to my Father and ask him to reward Sir Gospel for his bravery. My Father will surely appreciate you saving my precious Noona!"

He had pure, clear eyes.

He looked really genuine.

This kid really liked his rude tomboy Noona Elga and was expressing his sincere gratitude to me for saving her.

Was this the innocence of children?

Maybe this was why Aira didn't stop kids from approaching her. I felt my heart getting pierced a little…

"Master Lioness, there is no need for that. It was an emergency and I simply did what I had to do. It's also a big sin to take Lady Lioness's lips. If this is revealed to the world, I will be in big trouble."

"Is that so…? I see. Then I'll keep this a secret."

He was smart.

There seemed to be no problem concerning Aira's successor.

After 10 more years, this kid would grow up and capture the hearts of all kinds of women. How envious…

When I turned my head, I saw Elga breathing heavily, "Hueu."

She was very sweaty. Thanks to that, the cleavage of her red dress became a bit transparent and showed what was inside. It looked strange… And even a little lewd…

I meant, I just kissed a hot girl like her.

Also, had she already swallowed the candy?

With that thought in mind, I wiped away the drops of sweat running down my forehead. At that moment, an old butler suddenly ran in and shouted.

"Lady Elga, something big has happened! Her Majesty, Queen Aira, has come to visit our villa…!"

Aira was here?

Elga gritted her teeth.

"Why did she suddenly decide to visit? Even when I invited her, she never came here once in her life!?"
