H28.5.2 Revision.
1. Curse Seal and Slave Garments
His Highness, Elizabeth Camila Espagna, Crown Prince of the Espana Imperial Kingdom, whom I had resurrected, was unanimously decided at the “Fourth Bath Meeting” to be returned to the Espana Imperial Family. However, there were still many problems. Currently, the base mansion of “Princess Harem,” where we are, is located on the outskirts of the Imperial Capital Granza. Both the White Castle, where Elizabeth resided, and the Kahn Trading Company, managed by the political merchant Joshua Kahn, whom we planned to rely on, are within the walls of the Imperial Capital Granza. We had to pass through the city gates, which were strictly guarded by officials and knights.
What shall we do…
As I was struggling to devise a plan, Elise approached me.
“Hal-sama, this is a very interesting situation, isn’t it?”
“Frankly, I regret resurrecting her… But speaking of which, you’re not telling me to ‘Quality Check!’ this time, are you?”
“It wouldn’t be interesting to strip a young girl like that, and although we exchanged ‘sisterhood vows,’ she hasn’t joined ‘Princess Harem’ yet.”
“Somehow, I feel like your true feelings leaked out in the first half of your sentence…”
“Of course, it’s just your imagination. More importantly, could you come to the living room on the first floor?”
“What’s wrong?”
“There’s something I’d like to ask you.”
I was led by Elise to the living room on the first floor. As I approached the living room, I heard Elizabeth and Ly arguing.
“Are you telling me to wear something like this!?”
Elizabeth, her face flushed red, pressed Ly.
“I’m just saying it’s a necessary measure to get through the checkpoint!”
Elizabeth, wrapped only in a bath towel, argued with Ly, who was in a negligee. On the table were several outfits for Elizabeth, chosen by Alicia.
“Why do I have to wear ‘slave garments’!?”
“What’s going on? Ly!? Elizabeth!?”
“Hal-sama, you’re here at a good time. I’m teaching this incompetent junior stepsister the harshness of reality.”
“Hal Big Brother, Ly Older Sister is telling me to wear ‘slave garments’!!”
It seemed that Ly intended to make Elizabeth wear “slave garments” to get through the city gate checkpoint. Certainly, it’s worth considering… By the way, Alicia, who had picked out Elizabeth’s outfit, looked bewildered. The “slave garments” were probably something that was always kept in the Raymond Trading Company’s carriage.
“Ly, just ‘slave garments’ might be a bit weak. Based on the ‘Slave Law,’ we’ll have to equip her with handcuffs, shackles, and a gag as a set of three.”
Elise, who had been listening to their argument, fanned the flames.
“Elise, the ‘Slave Law’ only stipulates shackles; handcuffs and gags are optional.”
I corrected Elise’s misunderstanding.
“Hal-sama, to make Elizabeth realize her current situation, why don’t we manifest the ‘Curse Seal’ of subjugation? Actually, none of us has actually seen Hal-sama’s ‘Curse Seal’ either…”
This time, Edele, who was standing behind, made a suggestion.
“Hmm… That’s right. ‘My Seal of Subjugation, manifest!'”
As I uttered the keyword to manifest the “Curse Seal,” the area from the collarbone to the cleavage of the girls, except for me, Alicia, and Swan Hilda, began to glow faintly, and the “Curse Seal” appeared.
“Seeing the ‘Curse Seal’ of subjugation like this makes me reconfirm that I am Hal-sama’s slave…”
Ly, looking at the “Curse Seal” etched on her own body, let out a sultry sigh with a dreamy expression.
“Wh-what… a ‘slave’s Curse Seal’ is etched upon my royal body…”
Meanwhile, Elizabeth looked around in shock at the reality that had been thrust upon her.
“Ohh… Is this Hal-sama’s ‘Curse Seal’? I can’t read the characters though!?”
Elise herself, an accomplished mage, was observing the “Curse Seal” with great interest.
“These characters are ‘Sacred Script’ used by high-ranking priests.”
Kirika, true to her origins as a former princess of the theocratic Kamiyar Holy Nation, shared her knowledge.
“You figured that out well, Kirika. This ‘Curse Seal’ is inscribed with ‘Slave of Hal Raymond’ in ‘Sacred Script.’ And it’s also enchanted with various ‘enchantment magic’ and ‘blessings.’ It’s my original ‘Slave Contract Magic,’ so it wouldn’t have been reflected on my ‘Adventurer Card’ issued by the ‘Adventurer Guild,’ would it?”
“That’s right, now that you mention it.”
Elise recalled the contents of her own “Adventurer Card” and seemed convinced.
Meanwhile, Elizabeth, confronted with the reality of being my slave, looked down and shed tears – drop, drop. It seemed she was considerably shocked.
In the end, we decided to pass through the checkpoint using the two-horse carriage that Alicia and I had arrived in. Elizabeth would be taken along as a “Level 2 Slave” that I had purchased. Alice also decided to stay at the “Princess Harem” base mansion tonight.
We then dispersed to our respective bedrooms to sleep. Tonight, Alicia would sleep in the private room assigned to her. This was because Elizabeth had been so fussy that she ended up sleeping with me. For her nightwear, she wore cute pajamas meant for young children.
The next morning, when I woke up, Elizabeth was snuggled close to my body, sleeping soundly. I couldn’t quite tell if Elizabeth was thick-skinned or delicate, but she was an enigmatic young girl. Young children tend to have higher body temperatures, so my back felt very warm.
As I turned over, I faced Elizabeth and stared at her sleeping face. Though her features were still childish, she had elegant eyebrows, a cute, upturned nose, soft-looking lips, and a clean jawline. She was a beautiful girl, but it was all ruined by her shaved head.
It was time to get up and prepare for departure. I pinched Elizabeth’s nose, which seemed to have remained unwashed.
“…Ugh— Hmm… Wh-what are you doing!? Insolent!”
Elizabeth, whose nose had been pinched, struggled to breathe for a moment, but then suddenly woke up with a start and began to complain.
“Good morning, Elizabeth. Did you sleep well?”
“Ugh… If you weren’t Hal Big Brother, I would have you executed for lèse-majesté…”
Although Elizabeth said something ominous, I was in the superior position. Edela took care of Elizabeth’s preparations after she woke up, while I fabricated Elizabeth’s “Slave Procurement Related Documents.” This constituted forgery of public documents, but it was judged that it would be nullified if we could successfully escort Elizabeth back to the Espana Imperial Family.
After breakfast, Elizabeth was dressed in the aforementioned “slave garments” and was made to wear shackles as stipulated by the “Slave Law.” She was made to sit on the floor of the two-horse carriage. Elizabeth’s mood seemed extremely foul, but this was the treatment for a “Level 2 Slave.” By the way, she wore a silver wig purchased by Alicia on her head. Originally, she was blond, so it would serve as a minor distraction.
When Alicia was bought by the Raymond Trading Company and transported in a two-horse carriage, she was made to wear “slave garments” but not shackles. While she cast a sympathetic gaze at Elizabeth, who was being treated according to the “Slave Law,” Alicia wisely remained silent.
“Hal-sama, please take care of our incompetent junior stepsister.”
“Hal-sama, I pray for your success.”
“Bes, do your best!”
“Hal-sama…”
Ly, Elise, Swan Hilda, and Mai saw us off at the entrance.
“I’m off. Await my good news!!”
I climbed onto the driver’s seat, gave the reins a light flick, and the two-horse carriage departed from the “Princess Harem” base mansion.
2. Political Merchant Joshua Kahn
The two-horse carriage carrying me, Alicia, and Elizabeth left the “Princess Harem” base mansion and entered the main road. The Grand Market, held in the Imperial Capital Granza, was on its final day, and the crowds seemed larger than yesterday. The main road was heavily congested, and the carriage procession moved and stopped repeatedly.
Perhaps it was because we left the “Princess Harem” base mansion late, but our carriage arrived at noon, still far from the city gate. This was slower progress than yesterday. At that moment, Alicia opened the small window connecting the carriage and the driver’s seat and poked her head out.
“Hal-sama, it’s not moving very fast. Shall we stop on the roadside and have lunch?”
“Did you prepare lunch?”
“Yes. I have a basket with light meals and drinks from Tierna-sama.”
It seemed that Tierna had thoughtfully prepared it again today. I pulled the two-horse carriage over to the side of the main road, applied the wheel chocks, and climbed into the carriage box. Then, I locked the door from the inside and made Elizabeth sit on a chair.
“Hal Big Brother, my buttocks hurt, and my ankles hurt from the shackles!! I hate this already.”
Elizabeth complained tearfully, looking up at me with pleading eyes, but there was nothing I could do.
“I want to help you too, but it would be troublesome for Elizabeth if we were suddenly inspected.”
“I… I understand, but… shouldn’t you be a bit kinder to a young girl?”
When I had Elizabeth sit on the chair, the hem of her “slave garment” had ridden up, revealing the slit in her crotch, but Elizabeth didn’t seem to notice. Alicia also didn’t seem to notice, so I decided not to point it out.
The light meal Tierna had packed was the same sandwich and drinks as yesterday. However, the filling in the sandwich was different from yesterday, consisting of vegetables, sliced hard-boiled eggs, and thin-sliced ham. The drink was not black tea but juice made from diluted honey-lemon water.
“This is quite delicious.”
Perhaps because she was hungry, Elizabeth eagerly ate the sandwiches and honey-lemon water. Of course, Alicia and I did the same.
“As expected, Tierna is a good cook.”
It was amusing that when I praised Tierna’s cooking skills, not only Alicia but also Elizabeth seemed to be listening intently.
“Well, lunch is over, shall we go?”
“Hal Big Brother, I don’t want to be on the floor or wear shackles anymore…”
Elizabeth pleaded with teary eyes, but where could she have learned such tactics?
Then, without any further incident, we reached the city gate, where officials and knights were conducting strict checks.
“Who are you, and where are you going?”
“My name is Hal Raymond. I am an associate of the Raymond Trading Company, which operates as a slave trader.”
“Indeed, the crest drawn on the carriage appears to be the trademark of the Raymond Trading Company, a major slave trading firm. By the way, who is riding in the carriage?”
“Two people are riding in the carriage: my relative Alicia Garland, and Vesta, a ‘Level 2 Slave’ whom I purchased on this business trip.”
“Do you have any documents related to slave purchases?”
“Yes, here they are.”
“Hmm… It seems to be in order. As per regulations, I will inspect the interior of the carriage.”
“Please, do so.”
Inside the carriage with the door opened, Alicia was seated on a chair, and a young girl, bound with shackles, was sitting on the floor.
“Is the young lady Alicia-san?”
“Yes, I am Alicia Garland.”
“So, this young girl is the ‘Level 2 Slave,’ Vesta.”
Elizabeth kept her head down throughout.
“Yes, that is correct.”
I answered in Elizabeth’s stead.
“Hmm, it seems to be in order… Nevertheless, she’s quite an unsociable girl… You may proceed!”
Elizabeth, who had been looking down, seemed furious at the knight’s rude remark, but she managed to hold back.
As the saying goes, “It is easier to perform the act than to discuss it,” but we managed to pass through the city gate checkpoint. We then directed the carriage towards Granza’s commercial district, where Kahn Trading Company was located. Since the Raymond Trading Company was also in the commercial district, it didn’t seem unnatural. We proceeded with the carriage and arrived at the aforementioned Kahn Trading Company.
I had the two-horse carriage taken to the carriage parking area owned by Kahn Trading Company and entrusted it to the manager. Then, Alicia, Elizabeth, and I passed under the noren of Kahn Trading Company. By the way, Elizabeth’s shackles were removed, the bruises on her ankles were healed with “Healing Magic,” her attire was arranged to be as fitting for a merchant’s daughter, and she was then wrapped in a hooded robe. Furthermore, she wore a silver wig purchased by Alicia on her head.
“Excuse me. My name is Hal Raymond. I need to see Joshua Kahn on an urgent matter, is he available?”
“Joshua of our trading company is always busy. Please leave if you do not have an appointment.”
“Can’t you make an exception?”
As the man who came out to greet me and I were arguing, a blue-haired girl in a maid uniform appeared from the back of the shop.
“Is there something wrong? Joshua-sama said it’s noisy at the shop entrance? Ahhh!! Hal… Sama, and Alicia-sama too…”
The girl who was speechless was Yuria, who had been outbid by Joshua-dono at the “Slave Auction”. Although only a few days had passed since she was sold, she had become quite dignified. Despite her status as a “Level 2 Slave,” the maid uniform was neatly sewn and clean. It seemed Yuria had pleased Joshua-dono.
“Yuria, I’m relieved to see you’re doing well. I came today to ask Joshua Kahn-sama for a favor. Could you please check his availability?”
Alicia, seeing an opportunity, informed Yuria of the reason for their visit.
“I cannot refuse a request from Alicia-sama, to whom I owe a great debt.”
Yuria returned to the back, ignoring me. It seemed she had decided to ignore me, who had subjected her to “Slave Training.” Looking to the side, Alicia gave a wry smile. Then, led by the man at reception, we waited for a while in the general reception room for business visitors. Yuria appeared again.
“Alicia-sama, Joshua-sama will see you now. Everyone, please come this way.”
We left the general reception room for business visitors at Kahn Trading Company and were led to Joshua-dono’s study. In the study, there was a large and magnificent desk piled high with documents, and Joshua-dono was waiting, seated in his chair.
“Joshua-sama, thank you very much for purchasing Yuria the other day. I have a rather complicated matter to discuss today… Could you ask everyone to leave?”
“Hal-dono, rather, I was grateful for the good purchase.”
After finishing our greetings, Joshua-dono glanced at Yuria and a woman who appeared to be his secretary, who were still in the study. They bowed and left the study.
“Is that alright?! First, could you introduce me to the beautiful young lady with you?”
“Nice to meet you, Joshua-sama. My name is Alicia Garland.”
Alicia, holding the hem of her skirt and lifting it slightly, performed a curtsey with graceful movements.
“Oh… thank you for your courteous greeting. This young lady appears to be of noble birth. Still… you are very beautiful…”
“…Thank you, Joshua-sama.”
Upon being praised for her beauty, Alicia’s cheeks flushed red.
“So, what is this urgent matter!?”
“Actually, it’s about the young girl standing behind us.”
I moved aside, allowing Elizabeth, who had been hidden behind me and Alicia, to be seen by Joshua-dono.
“Joshua-dono, it’s been a while.”
Elizabeth, upon opening her mouth, coolly removed her hooded robe all at once. However, her wig got caught on the hood and came off with it.
“Huh!?”
For a moment, Joshua-dono’s face was blank with surprise, but he quickly seemed to realize the young girl’s true identity. He stood up from his chair and knelt on one knee, bowing his head.
“Your Highness Princess Elizabeth, it is an unparalleled honor for me, Joshua Kahn, that you would grace this place with your presence.”
As for me, I had trouble suppressing my laughter at the accidental mishap of Elizabeth’s wig falling off.
“Hal-dono, what is the meaning of this situation!?”
“Actually, Alicia and I went out to the outskirts of Imperial Capital Granza—”
I briefly explained the circumstances of having saved Elizabeth. Of course, I omitted the fact that she was already beaten to death when we found her and that I had used “Resurrection Magic.”
“…I see. In other words, you want me to directly escort Princess Elizabeth back to Emperor Henry, who is at White Castle. Is that correct?”
“That is correct. It is highly likely that a person of high status is behind this assassination attempt.”
“But… if we can deliver her safely, we will earn the favor of Emperor Henry and Your Highness Princess Elizabeth, the next Empress. I, Joshua, will risk my life to escort Princess Elizabeth.”
“As expected of Joshua-dono.”
Elizabeth had, by this time, straightened up. However, with her shaved head, she appeared comical to those around her, but it was also a case of “what is not said is more beautiful.”
Then, Joshua-dono and I made arrangements. Elizabeth was entrusted to Kahn Trading Company, and we would wait for an opportunity to have an audience with Emperor Henry.
***
3. Mithril Card
For the time being, Elizabeth was entrusted to Joshua-dono, and Hal and I left Kahn Trading Company with a sense of relief.
“I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders.”
“I’m also quite tired. So, what are your plans after this?”
“First, we’ll return to the base mansion of ‘Princess Harem,’ report the outcome to everyone, and then head to Raymond Trading Company to report to my father.”
“Well, that’s a reasonable decision. Understood.”
In terms of distance, both Kahn Trading Company and Raymond Trading Company are located in the commercial district of Imperial Capital Granza, making them closer than the ‘Princess Harem’ base mansion in the suburbs. However, regarding Elizabeth’s matter, my father knows nothing, so psychologically, the ‘Princess Harem’ base mansion felt closer.
We were thoroughly searched at the checkpoint when we left the castle gates, but since we had nothing to hide, we passed without incident. It seemed that most of the congestion on the main road was due to these checkpoints. After that, we moved smoothly and soon arrived at the ‘Princess Harem’ base mansion. I drove the carriage into the grounds of the base mansion and stopped at the entrance. After letting Alicia off first, I parked the carriage.
As I opened the door to the base mansion, the door bell rang with its usual clear “Chiring, chiring,” and Freya greeted us.
“Welcome back, Hal-sama and Alicia-sama. Everyone is waiting in the living room on the first floor.”
“Thank you, Freya.”
Accompanied by Alicia and Freya, I headed to the living room on the first floor. In the living room, all the members of ‘Princess Harem’ were gathered, except for Freya, who had greeted us.
“Hal-sama, how did it go?”
As we entered the living room, Elise, who was second-in-command, stood up and, on behalf of everyone, confirmed the exchange with Joshua-dono.
“For now, I met with Joshua-dono, explained Elizabeth’s situation, and secured his cooperation.”
“Then what happened to Elizabeth?”
Elise seemed concerned as I hadn’t brought Elizabeth with me.
“She’s been entrusted to Joshua-dono. He will contact us when arrangements are made to meet Emperor Henry.
“What about the contact information?”
This time, Lyushenne asked.
“The contact will be Raymond Trading Company, where Alicia will be waiting. We plan to meet with Emperor Henry with four people: myself, Alicia, Elizabeth, and Joshua-dono. After this, I plan to make a quick trip back to Raymond Trading Company to report to my father as well.”
“…So, Elizabeth is, for the time being, out of our hands.”
Lyushenne confirmed with a hint of relief.
“Yes, that’s right. Do you have any other questions?”
“Can that man, Joshua Kahn, be trusted?”
This time, Kirika asked.
“I believe there will be no problem even if Joshua-dono betrays us.”
“Why do you say that?”
Kirika asked, her gaze keenly focused.
“The worst-case scenario is that we are captured along with Elizabeth. Even if Joshua-dono outsmarts us and escorts Elizabeth to White Castle, if there’s no real harm done, it’s not a problem.”
“Kirika… Elizabeth was revived by Hal-sama’s ‘Resurrection Magic,’ and furthermore, she is bound by ‘Slave Contract Magic,’ so she can no longer escape.”
Elise provided a supplementary explanation.
“On top of that, there is a coercive force in the ‘Sisterly Pact’.”
Lyushenne added.
“So that was indeed ‘Ritual Magic’.”
Elise nodded in understanding.
“Yes, it was performed according to the Waiyar Imperial Family’s secret ‘Ritual Magic’. They say it adheres to ancient laws and can even be cast by commoners.”
Lyushenne puffed out her chest and explained the ‘Sisterly Pact’.
In the end, Elizabeth was ensnared by us in triple layers.
“Anything else?”
I looked around.
“Hal-sama, the adventure plan to Portland is ready.”
Elise handed me the plan with a beaming smile.
“Thank you, Elise. We will implement this after Elizabeth’s matter is settled.”
I took the plan from Elise and headed to Raymond Trading Company with Alicia.
Upon arriving at Raymond Trading Company, we confirmed with the receptionist that my father was in his office on the fourth floor and headed straight there. When I knocked on my father’s office door, “Tap, tap,” I heard my father’s voice, “Who is it?” I replied, “It’s Hal,” and received permission to enter, so I opened the door.
“Hal, you’re late… I’ve received a call from Joshua Kahn-dono regarding the matter of Crown Princess Elizabeth.”
“Is that so… For the time being, we were also contacting related parties to explain.”
“But you seem to have bad luck, Hal… Well, sit down on the sofa, both of you.”
I reported the contents of my explanation to Joshua-dono to my father, and it matched what my father had heard, so there were no further questions. The matter of Elizabeth was beyond my ability to handle, so it was right to report it to my father. Furthermore, Joshua-dono’s swift response was also commendable.
“By the way, what are your plans from now on? Even I don’t have any acquaintances in the Spanish Royal Family.”
“As for me, I just hope that Princess Elizabeth, whom we protected, can return safely.”
“Indeed, if you try to be greedy here, nothing good will come of it. I agree with that opinion.”
“By the way, Father, I was greatly helped by friends I made before regarding this matter. Once Elizabeth’s situation is resolved, I’ve promised to accompany them on an adventure as a thank you.”
“Oh, are you referring to Elise and the others who stayed at our house before?”
“You understood well. That’s right.”
“Then, how far do you plan to go?”
“We plan to travel through the Great Forest Zone where we adventured before, pass through the Old Kamiyar Holy Nation and the Old Kingdom of Sazania, and reach the Portland Castle Ruins in the Old Kingdom of Portland.”
“Hmm… that’s quite a distant place. The Old Kingdom of Portland, isn’t that in the Southern Nations?”
“Is that not allowed?”
“No, it’s important to gain various experiences while you’re young. You are currently still an apprentice at Raymond Trading Company, so you are basically outside the count. Gaining experience now is a good thing. Please be careful.”
“Thank you, Father.”
And so, the report to my father concluded without incident. As Alicia was leaving the office, my father called me back.
“Hal, come here for a moment!”
“What is it, Father!?”
“I’ll give this to you.”
My father took out a metal plate in a paulownia box from his desk drawer. The metal plate was probably made of Mithril, and it depicted a complex entanglement of thorns and rose flowers on its surface.
“That’s a beautiful metal plate… is this Mithril?”
“This is… a one-day complimentary ticket to ‘Rose’s Single Drop,’ the most luxurious brothel in the entertainment district of Kamiyan, the capital of the Old Kamiyar Holy Nation. You can spend a night with a high-class prostitute of your choice.”
“What!? Why are you giving me something like this!?”
“I know that you and Alicia have already slept together. I had originally intended to take you to a brothel before your wedding night to teach you how to handle women, but Shakura objected… she said it would be better to let things develop naturally. But I suspect you’ve exhausted all the positions you’ve thought of together by now. So, I thought I would teach you new sexual techniques.”
“Thank you, Father. I’ll accept it without hesitation.”
Saying so, I took the one-day complimentary ticket to the luxury brothel from my father and left the study.
I am waiting for contact from Joshua. That day, Alicia and I were busy with paperwork at the Raymond Trading Company.
4. Conferment of Peerage
The next day, as Alicia and I arrived at the Raymond Trading Company, a man claiming to be an executive from the Kahn Trading Company visited, as if he had been waiting for this opportunity. He informed us, “The preparations for the matter are complete, so please accompany us to the Kahn Trading Company.” I had anticipated that even for a political merchant, it would take several days, but it seemed the preparations were completed yesterday. As expected, Joshua seems to be as capable as the rumors suggest.
We walked and were led directly to Joshua’s office, where we had met yesterday. In the office were Joshua, dressed in formal attire, and Elizabeth in a dress. Furthermore, Elizabeth was wearing a wig with brilliant blonde hair.
“Good morning, Princess Elizabeth, and Lord Joshua.”
“Yes, I am not suffering, Hal and Alicia.”
Elizabeth replied to our greeting with a triumphant look.
“Good morning, Lord Hal, Lady Alicia. I apologize for asking you to come so early, but yesterday I was able to secretly contact Emperor Henry, and we have decided to have an audience with him immediately. Let’s depart as soon as preparations are complete.”
Joshua greeted us with a confident expression. I was very pleased that Joshua was so reliable.
We boarded a luxurious carriage prepared by the Kahn Trading Company and headed straight for the White Castle. There were several checkpoints along the way, but when Joshua showed some document, the officials prostrated themselves and allowed us to pass.
Upon arriving at the White Castle, the carriage pulled up not to the main gate, but to a service gate used by imperial merchants. When Joshua informed the gatekeeper of our arrival, a mature lady-in-waiting soon appeared.
“Lord Joshua, His Majesty is eagerly awaiting you.”
The lady-in-waiting ignored us, turned around, and started walking. It seemed she wanted us to follow… By the way, Elizabeth was wearing a hooded robe, similar to yesterday, but it was a more expensive robe than the one I lent her. She looked quite suspicious, but the lady-in-waiting didn’t seem to mind. Her trust in Joshua must be very deep.
Meanwhile, Alicia and I felt embarrassed by our usual work attire.
Guided by the lady-in-waiting, I stepped into the White Castle for the first time in this life, but the layout was so complex that I quickly lost track of where we were.
I mention “this life” because in my previous life, as Lester the Cleric, I had visited the White Castle to report our victory in defeating Demon King Gandaro as a member of the Hero Party. At that time, I entered through the main gate in a luxurious carriage for nobles and was led to the audience chamber without understanding what was happening, surrounded by nobles.
The White Castle is a stone castle, with pure white marble for its facade. The floors and walls were also marble, with intricate patterns woven into tapestries and paintings adorning the walls. A long-haired scarlet carpet was laid on the floor. Here and there, expensive-looking vases and antique armor were placed on stands.
After walking for a considerable distance, the lady-in-waiting stopped in front of a sturdy door and whispered to one of the men standing at attention on either side of the door, who appeared to be members of the Royal Guard. The knight disappeared inside the door, and we waited there.
After a short wait, the door suddenly opened, and we were ushered in. It seemed the lady-in-waiting’s escort ended here, and our new guide was a middle-aged man who seemed to be a high-ranking noble. I had a vague sense of having seen him before but couldn’t recall his identity. I had probably met him in my previous life.
“Emperor Henry awaits. Follow me.”
“Lord Joshua, that gentleman appears to be a high-ranking noble. Who is he?” I asked Joshua in a low voice.
“That is Marquis Gesper Johanna von Luluria, who serves as the Prime Minister of the Espana Imperial Kingdom.”
Upon hearing that the nobleman leading us was the Prime Minister, my head began to ache. I felt that I had completely reached a point of no return. I glanced at Alicia beside me, and her complexion was as pale as mine. It was likely Alicia’s first time entering the White Castle, and her first time meeting Prime Minister Gesper as well.
We proceeded through several more corridors and rooms before being led into the audience chamber. In the audience chamber, a luxurious throne, where the Emperor of Espana sat, was placed on an elevated platform. On the wall behind it, a painting, presumably of the founding myth of the Espana Imperial Kingdom, was depicted in colored plaster – what is known as a fresco. An ornate chandelier hung from the ceiling, and on the ceiling itself, a goddess, believed to be the protector of the Espana Imperial Kingdom, was depicted descending with Valkyries.
We prostrated ourselves on the marble floor and waited. Elizabeth, whose identity had not yet been revealed, did the same and cast a disgruntled look at Prime Minister Gesper, who had guided us.
While waiting for Emperor Henry’s arrival, I observed the floor of the audience chamber, and the pattern of the mosaic tiles seemed vaguely familiar. Perhaps Lester the Cleric in my previous life had also looked at the floor in the same way.
Prime Minister Gesper, who had guided us here, stood at attention along the wall in front of the elevated platform, and dozens of Royal Guards were also present in the room.
After a while, we heard the rustling of clothes, and it appeared that Emperor Henry had arrived.
“Everyone… lift… your faces.”
A hoarse, aged voice echoed through the audience chamber, and we were permitted to look up. Emperor Henry of Espana, at 55 years old, was elderly, and his nervous face showed signs of impending death. Although his gaze was sharp, his irises were cloudy, his eye sockets were sunken, and his complexion was poor. It seems that court mages capable of “Healing Magic” and healers dispatched from the Asgard Holy Church were desperately trying to prolong his life, but they were reaching their limit. It was like pouring water into a leaky jug.
“Joshua… Kahn… you… have done well… to come. You may… speak.”
“Your Imperial Majesty, I extend my congratulations on your good health. I have come today because I believed the person accompanying me might be Crown Prince Elizabeth.”
Elizabeth, introduced by Joshua, stood up, shed her hooded robe, and straightened her posture.
“Father Emperor, I have returned safely. I have been cared for by Hal, Alicia, and Joshua. Would you grant them a reward?”
“Oh…?! My successor… seeing you safe… I am overjoyed! Come… closer…”
Thus, Emperor Henry and Crown Prince Elizabeth, having a tearful reunion, embraced briefly. And during that brief embrace, Prime Minister Gesper had a chair prepared for the Crown Prince to the right of the throne, and Crown Prince Elizabeth took her seat. Emperor Henry’s gaze then turned to us.
“Joshua… for your contributions… this time… truly… a great deed. I wish to bestow… a reward or noble title… upon you… what say you?”
“Your Majesty, as a political merchant, I have already received more than ample favor.”
“You are… not greedy… Very well. You shall… meet with Gesper later… to discuss… the reward for this time… and receive it.”
“I am deeply grateful.”
Joshua initially declined, but upon His Majesty’s second request, he seemed to have accepted some form of reward. This might be related to court etiquette.
“You… state… your name… now.”
“I am Hal Raymond. My father, Dalos Raymond, runs the Raymond Trading Company, a slave trading business, and I am currently undergoing training as his successor.”
“…Raymond Trading Company, you say… You too… state… your name.”
“I am Alicia Garland. I am the adopted daughter of the Garland family, which is related to House Raymond. I am currently assisting Hal at the Raymond Trading Company.”
“You… seem to be… of noble birth… State… your former name as well.”
“…My former name is Alicia Mia von Rendol.”
“Your Majesty, the Rendol family is considered to have died out last month when Viscount Rendol passed away. The land and estate are mortgaged, and this girl inherits no assets,” Prime Minister Gesper added, explaining the current situation of the Rendol Viscountcy.
“Ah… I see.”
Emperor Henry acknowledged this, and Crown Prince Elizabeth whispered something to him.
“Hal… do you… wish to become… a noble?”
“While it is a most humbling offer, I am unworthy of such a status.”
I declined, following Joshua’s example. Honestly, nobility seemed like too much trouble.
“My… Crown Prince… likes… you… very much. I shall… bestow upon you… the title of ‘First-Class Quasi-Noble.’ This title… Joshua already possesses.”
“I am deeply grateful.”
I prostrated myself once more and was conferred the title of ‘First-Class Quasi-Noble.’
After leaving the audience chamber, I confirmed with Alicia that the Espana Imperial Kingdom has a system of “quasi-nobility.” This is an honorary title for commoners; it does not grant land or annuities like regular nobility, but it allows the holder the right to enter the White Castle and receive treatment according to their rank. Apparently, ‘First-Class’ is equivalent to a Count, ‘Second-Class’ to a Viscount, ‘Third-Class’ to a Baron, and ‘Fourth-Class’ to a Knight.
“Lastly… regarding… you… I permit you to bear the name Alicia Mia von Rendol once more… as a ‘Viscountess.’ By the way… you were raised on the rations of the Espana Imperial Kingdom… so you have no right to refuse.”
“I am deeply grateful.”
Regarding this matter, Prime Minister Gesper explained after Emperor Henry and Crown Prince Elizabeth departed that ‘Viscountess’ is a title granted exceptionally when there are no male heirs, and it is usually for one generation only. Unlike me, she will be granted an annual annuity of ten Platinum Coins (equivalent to ten million yen). She will also be treated as a recognized Viscount, and as a special exception, she has the right to be granted the formal title of Viscount to her legitimate heir. Given that Alicia and I are considering marriage, it means our future legitimate child will become a Viscount.
This situation has truly become a cause for concern…
Then, Alicia and I were presented with insignsignia by Prime Minister Gesper, signifying our titles as ‘First-Class Quasi-Nobles’ and ‘Viscountess.’ The insignia were lapel pins to be worn on our jackets. Incidentally, Alicia’s insignia, representing her ‘Viscountess’ title, bore the crest of the former House of Rendol with the addition of a lily flower motif. This lily motif is reportedly Crown Prince Elizabeth’s personal emblem. This indicates that Alicia is favored by Crown Prince Elizabeth.
I was indeed impressed by the speed of the work, which seems to be the work of a heraldry officer who can use special magic.
In the end, we, who had bound Elizabeth with the side effects of ‘Resurrection Magic,’ ‘Slave Contract Magic,’ and the ‘Pact of Utopia,’ have in turn been bound by Emperor Henry as nobles of the Espana Imperial Kingdom.
We bid farewell to Joshua, who had guided us to the audience chamber, and left the White Castle.
“Lord Joshua, thank you for today.”
“Nay, thanks to you, Lord Hal, I have been able to create a great debt with the Espana Imperial family. I should be thanking you.”
After returning to the Raymond Trading Company, we reported the proceedings of the audience chamber to my father. He held his head in his hands. It seems that being a noble and a slave trader concurrently would be difficult. However, as the future is uncertain, I declared that I would continue my apprenticeship as a slave trader. My father, however, mentioned that as a fallback, he would consider finding an excellent adopted son-in-law for my sister, Miuuki.
Alicia has also returned to nobility as a “Viscountess,” but for the time being, this fact will be kept secret.
Furthermore, an announcement of the engagement between me and Alicia, and the like, also seems difficult for the time being. This is because Alicia is a “Viscountess” recognized directly by Emperor Henry, and her status is higher than mine, a “First-Class Quasi-Noble.” If I had known this would happen, I should have announced our engagement or registered our marriage on my birthday, which was also my coming-of-age ceremony.
**5. First Night VI ①**
After reporting to my father, Alicia stated she would attend to the accumulated administrative tasks at the Raymond Trading Company. I hailed a carriage and headed towards the base mansion of “Princess Harem.” The Grand Market had ended yesterday, so the main roads had returned to their usual congestion.
I disembarked from the carriage near the “Princess Harem” base mansion and proceeded on foot.
As I opened the door to the mansion, the doorbell rang as usual— “Chirin, chirin”— and Freya greeted me.
“Welcome back, Hal-sama.”
“I’m back, Freya. By the way, is everyone else at the mansion?”
“Currently, only Tirna-sama and I are remaining at the mansion. It is expected that everyone else has gone to the Adventurer’s Guild to accept one-day quests.”
“…Does that mean everyone is expected to be present for dinner?”
“Yes, so I’ve been told.”
“I’ll be in my private quarters on the second floor, so please let me know when everyone is gathered.”
“Understood. I will also inform Tirna-sama that dinner will be for one additional person.”
While conversing, Freya, who wore glasses and a practical-looking dark blue outfit, could easily be mistaken for a secretary to the head of a major trading company. However, her hypersensitivity erogenous zones have not fully healed, and when the rustling of her clothes stimulates them, she sometimes blushes and displays a sensuous expression. Edelia, whom we hired as backyard staff, appears to have been promoted to a frontline operative for “Princess Harem.” In fact, Tirna has also been receiving rapier training from Ly, and possesses the skills of a competent swordswoman, but I had her stop considering her age of 13. …This means Freya is the only one who remains purely in a backyard role. However, Ly and Elise, who have been thoroughly trained in etiquette, are reportedly teaching self-defense as their next step, and it’s possible they will be integrated into the frontline combat force in the future. At the very least, I’ve heard that they have been educated to at least the minimum standard of behavior expected of a princess of a small country, even if it’s only a superficial plating.
I was in my office within my private quarters on the second floor, contemplating future plans. With the successful escort of Elizabeth to Emperor Henry, Alicia has regained her noble status as a “Viscountess.” I, too, have gained the right to attend court at the White Castle with the rank of Count as a “First-Class Quasi-Noble.”
While I myself would prefer not to get too close to the cutthroat world of nobility…
For now, with Elizabeth’s matter settled, I should proceed with the recovery of the “Magic Staffs” at the Portland Castle Ruins, as proposed by Elise in the “Bath Meeting.” On my way, I could sample the exquisite skills of a high-class prostitute in the former capital of the Kamiyar Holy Nation, Kamiyan, using the “Mithril Card” my father gave me. Or perhaps, exploring the detached palace where Kirika once lived and taking her virginity there might be an interesting pastime.
Speaking of which, during a recent health checkup, I examined Dietlinde’s body and found that her feminization had progressed considerably. When I stay at this base mansion, she visits me secretly late at night to receive “Breast Massage” for the treatment of her inverted nipples and breast augmentation. While receiving the “Breast Massage,” Dietlinde occasionally endures it with moans, but she is still a virgin. It is said that if sexual intercourse occurs during the “Yukari impurity,” her genitalia will become fixed in a distorted shape.
“Hal-sama, dinner preparations are complete. Everyone is gathered in the dining hall.”
As I was contemplating my future course of action, the door was knocked— “Ton, ton”— and Freya’s voice could be heard.
“Thank you, Freya. I’m coming now.”
Upon going to the dining hall on the first floor, I found all the members of “Princess Harem” present, with the exception of Alicia and Elizabeth.
“Everyone is here. Before we eat, I have a report…”
I reported that I had ascended to court at the White Castle with Joshua Kahn, accompanying Alicia and Elizabeth, and was granted an audience with Emperor Henry. I then reported that Elizabeth had been safely sent off as the Crown Prince. As a reward for this, I was granted the title of “First-Class Quasi-Noble,” and Alicia was conferred the title of “Viscountess.”
“As expected of Joshua Kahn. You are faster than we anticipated. He even has dealings with the royal family of the Wahl Imperial Kingdom.”
Lyushenne, with a knowing smile, was convinced by Joshua’s swift work.
“However… Alicia is a ‘Viscountess’ now… She’s currently the highest-ranked among us.”
Swan Hilda was impressed by Alicia being conferred the title of “Viscountess.”
“Hal-sama, now that Elizabeth has safely returned, she will be our ‘trump card’ going forward.”
Elise said this with a slightly sinister smile.
Afterward, I savored the dinner prepared by Tirna and Freya, and as I returned to my room after enjoying the post-meal black tea, I instructed Dietlinde to come to my room later, as I would be giving her a “Breast Massage.”
“Hal-sama… ‘Breast Massage’ again…? No, please do your best tonight as well!!”
“Hal-sama, you’ve come. Please do your best tonight as well.”
As I was relaxing in my office within my private quarters, the door was knocked— “Ton, ton”— and Dietlinde arrived, speaking in a slightly subdued tone.
“The door isn’t locked, so come in.”
When I granted her permission to enter, the door quietly opened, and Dietlinde appeared. Tonight, she was not wearing pajamas but a hooded robe. Come to think of it, I remembered her wearing this outfit at dinner as well. Had something happened?
“This attire… did something happen!?”
“Hal-sama… Nrrrmph!? Masterrr…”
Dietlinde’s tone suddenly shifted into “spoiled elf” mode midway. Then, she— *Basari*— shed her hooded robe. Beneath the robe, she was wearing a one-piece dress made of a shimmering, pale green silk. I recall this outfit… it was sewn from fabric woven from the iridescent silk thread of the rare silkworm called “Tensuisan,” which produces pale green cocoons. This was a special garment that an Elf maiden would wear for the “First Night Ritual”…?
Originally, elven races, perhaps due to their long lifespan, rarely become fertile and have weak reproductive instincts. Thus, the attire was designed to be alluring to facilitate intercourse.
I re-examined Dietlinde’s posture. Somehow, her aura seemed different from before… Her hair, normally silver, due to the influence of fire spirits, had previously displayed a gradient from silver to deep red to vermilion. However, it had now changed to a gradient from silver to dandelion yellow to scarlet. The increased vibrancy was likely due to a heightened influence from the fire spirits.
On her pointed, reed-like ears, she usually wore mithril ear cuffs indicating her Tintaal Kingdom royal succession rights. But now, she wore nothing, and for some reason, they were dyed a deep red.
Her mystical blue-gray eyes were moist with heat, and her fair cheeks were flushed.
The pale green special one-piece dress, while not completely transparent, clearly outlined her body’s curves. The neckline was deep, revealing the cleavage. She wore a dark green sash around her waist, adorned with a pink artificial rose. The skirt was tailored in a petal-like shape, and its hem only covered the middle of her thighs. From there, her shapely bare legs were exposed, and she wore light sandals on her feet.
Reconfirming her physique, I noted her slender, sloped shoulders, followed by beautifully undulating collarbones, leading to breasts that were impossibly large for an Elf. The tips of her breasts showed nipple protrusions, and it seemed the treatment for her inverted nipples was complete.
“Masterrr… Please tonight as well…”
“Dietlinde, your nipples seem to be already protruding…!?”
“You see… Masterrr… My ‘Yukari impurity’ finished this morning… Sooo… I want you to hold me…”
It appeared that tonight, Dietlinde had come not for a “Breast Massage” but for the “First Night Ritual.”
Thinking about it again, Dietlinde, like Elise and Lyushenne, was a being revived by my “Resurrection Magic.” Had she, like them, been wetting her panties thinking of me night and day? However, until yesterday, her body was still undergoing feminization due to the “Yukari impurity.” At that point, making eye contact carried the risk of her genitalia becoming fixed in a distorted shape, which served as a deterrent. But with the feminization now complete, the restraint had likely been removed.
“So… it’s decided then!?”
“Yes!! Masterrr, I love you…”
Dietlinde boldly leaned against me. Elves, in general, are very long-lived compared to humans. While the average human lifespan is around 50 years, elven lifespans reach hundreds of years. Furthermore, as Dietlinde is royalty of the elves, she might even live for over 500 years.
However, unlike humans who tend to live their lives rapidly, I had heard that long-lived elves have weak reproductive instincts. But in Dietlinde’s case, the side effects of “Resurrection Magic” likely prevail.
**6. First Night VI ② △**
Normally, I would start intercourse with a kiss, but before me were the reed-like ears, a distinct feature of elves. It is a widely known fact that elven ears are erogenous zones. I gently bit the lobe of Dietlinde’s left ear.
“…Ah!? Ahhh…!! Masterrr…”
As I gently bit Dietlinde’s earlobe, she arched her back, and her legs gave out, causing her to lean on me. I then proceeded to lick her left ear, and then took the pointed tip into my mouth, rolling it with my tongue.
Then, picking up Dietlinde, whose legs had completely given out, in a princess carry, I laid her on my bed.
As the rumors suggested, Dietlinde was also weak in the ears. I gently combed her beautiful hair with my fingers and brought my face closer. Dietlinde was already opening her mouth adorably, breathing heavily and repeatedly. I moved even closer, covered her mouth with my lips, and inserted my tongue.
When I first inserted my tongue into Dietlinde’s small mouth, she seemed unable to grasp the meaning of this act. However, as my tongue began to ravage her oral cavity, she appeared to realize she should entwine her own tongue.
Dietlinde and I intertwined our tongues, heightening our arousal.
Then, I caressed her right ear as well, and Dietlinde’s heavy breaths began to mix with moans.
“…Mmm… Ah! …Hya!? …An… Ah…”
I cupped both of Dietlinde’s breasts with my palms from over her pale green one-piece dress. Normally, elven breasts, rather than being described as “busty,” are modestly flat. However, due to the “Breast Massage” effect during her feminization, Dietlinde’s breasts had grown to the size of a typical human maiden. While not reaching the level of the buxom Elise, Swan Hilda, or busty Lyushenne, they could be considered large breasts for an elf.
I could feel the elasticity and soft texture of Dietlinde’s breasts through my palms, a tangible presence. The protrusion of her nipples, which had formed an outline on the fabric of the dress, had become even more prominent with my caresses, further raising their height. Here, a mischievous impulse struck me, and I pinched and pulled her nipples through the dress.
“…Ah… I-It hurts!! Masterrr…”
I spread open the shoulder straps of the dress to the left and right, then slid them off her slender arms. Dietlinde’s chest was then exposed, and her upper breasts became visible. As I further removed the shoulder straps from her arms, her breasts jiggled— *purun*— and her nipples were revealed.
Dietlinde’s skin was naturally translucent white, but from my previous caresses, her breasts had become deeply engorged with blood, and her nipples were at their peak of erection. Surprisingly, the color of the areolas surrounding her nipples had hardly changed from their pale pink.
When he was halfway through taking off her light green one-piece, he couldn’t hold back and latched onto her left breast. Dietlinde’s breast was soft, and as he rolled his tongue over her nipple, it tasted strangely sweet, even though she shouldn’t have been producing milk yet. He greedily sucked Dietlinde’s nipples, and the tips of both her breasts turned even redder.
Taking a breath here, he untied the dark green sash and removed the light green one-piece all the way. The sandals she had been wearing fell to the side of the bed, and only the pure white panties, the last layer, protected her body.
The panties were also made of thin fabric, and the area around the slit of her secret crack was already wet. The last time he had examined Dietlinde’s genitals was during her “Health Check,” when he had observed a clitoris about the size of a child’s little finger. However, from the bulges visible through her panties, its presence could not be confirmed.
“Ah… Ahh… Master… That… Not there…”
He licked her breasts again, then his tongue traced the midline of her abdomen, bestowing a light kiss on her navel, and then poked her secret crack through her panties with his tongue. The bittersweet taste of Dietlinde filled his mouth.
It seemed that the love juice of the elves was sweeter than that of humans.
As his caresses began to concentrate on her secret crack, Dietlinde’s hands tried to push his head away. She seemed to be bewildered by this new pleasure. When he stimulated her slit with his tongue, her love juice sprang forth like an inexhaustible fountain.
Is it time, perhaps?
He hooked his finger into Dietlinde’s panties and slowly pulled them down. Though he had seen her genitals several times before, he was once again impressed by the power of the “Purple Impurity.”
Dietlinde’s genitals had not yet grown pubic hair, but her secret crack was tightly closed, and her clitoris was tucked beneath its hood. Only her love juice dripped from her secret crack in response to his caresses.
He couldn’t help but check Dietlinde’s expression and saw a smug look on her face. To mask his indescribable sense of defeat, he hooked his finger into the swollen labia majora, which were closed neatly— “Kyuuu”—and spread them apart.
“You’re beautiful… Dietlinde.”
“Master… I’m happy… Hnn.”
Was Dietlinde in heat?
The labia majora were thinner compared to human women. Looking into the spread slit, he saw that her urethra opening had moved to the normal position, and her vagina opening was located lower. He inserted the index finger of his right hand into her wet vagina opening up to the first joint, but it was already incredibly tight with just his fingertip.
Perhaps the penises of elves are mostly thick.
It wasn’t like the forced dilation of the vagina opening in the demonkin’s elopement, but would his penis be able to penetrate? Even for elves, this would be the exit of the birth canal during childbirth, so it should be possible if he caressed it gently to expand.
Also, although his preferred position is the missionary position, given that the vagina opening is so low, the doggy style would be the correct way to penetrate.
“Master… I’m not strange, am I??”
He had been staring intently at Dietlinde’s secret place, and she seemed to be getting anxious.
“It’s a very cute slit, so I was admiring it.”
“Uuugh. Master… you’re so lewd…”
He lifted Dietlinde’s knees, brought them towards him, and bent her legs towards her head, exposing her genitals completely. He had done this to Edele, who had been too embarrassed to show him her genitals, and when he had vaguely asked Gasper, he had told him it was a sexual technique called “backwards-facing dog.” What he considered to be his own ideas had already been practiced by his predecessors.
This brought Dietlinde’s secret crack right before his eyes. She seemed to be in complete disarray about this act. Would there be a problem performing this with a virgin? Like Edele, Dietlinde suddenly lost her composure and screamed.
“Eh?! Wh-What?! N-Nooo…”
7. First Night VI ③
He began by licking the clitoral hood that covered the clitoris, which waited at the beginning of the secret crack to be caressed. He then pinched and lifted the clitoral hood with his lips. Finally, as if to finish, he lightly bit the clitoris sleeping within the clitoral hood.
“…Ah… Ah… Eek!? It hurts! It hurts!…”
The clitoris, stimulated by his caresses, became erect, and the pink clitoral glans emerged from the clitoral hood. Its size was about the same as Mai’s.
Next, he attacked the vagina opening. Spreading the labia majora with the thumb and index finger of his right hand, he inserted the index finger of his left hand into the vagina opening. This time, he inserted it up to the second joint and kneaded it. Normally, the vagina opening would loosen and expand enough to allow two fingers, but he could only manage one, and he was becoming impatient.
Is it really necessary to use the ultimate weapon?
“…Ah… Ahhh… Hyaa!? M-Master, wh-what are you doing??”
He took Dietlinde’s waist, flipped her over, and made her face down. Then, spreading her legs apart, he lowered her lower body from the edge of the bed, making her small buttocks protrude. When he opened her secret crack, the vagina opening was positioned directly in front, as expected.
“M-Master… N-Nooo!?”
Now, Dietlinde wouldn’t be able to see what he was doing. He secretly summoned Mimi No. 2, the mimic slime he had obtained from Kirika.
“Invade the vaginal cavity and loosen it slowly. Do not damage the hymen. Then become transparent and emit light.”
He then presented it to Dietlinde’s vagina opening and ordered it to expand.
Mimi No. 2 became amorphous and entered Dietlinde’s vagina opening.
“M-Master!? S-Something strange is… entering my body!”
Dietlinde writhed, trying to escape Mimi No. 2, but he held her waist with both hands to keep her fixed. Mimi No. 2 submerged half of its body into her vagina opening and gradually loosened and widened it while undulating.
“N-No!! Does it hurt!? It hurts… Master… St-Stop!!”
As Mimi No. 2 began to expand the vaginal cavity, Dietlinde resisted even more violently and screamed. Mimi No. 2 was transparent and self-luminous, so her pink vaginal walls were clearly visible. The whitish part visible a little deeper was likely the hymen. However, the hymen did not cover the entire vagina; there was a gap through which love juice flowed from deeper within, and it seemed Mimi No. 2 had penetrated through that gap to the vicinity of the cervix.
The current size of the vagina opening was slightly larger than the diameter of his index finger. While the vaginal walls didn’t feel like they were tearing, it would need to be expanded a bit more for his penis to penetrate. Dietlinde, experiencing the dilation of her vaginal walls for the first time, cried out in pain. Alicia had once told him that the pain a virgin felt during her first intercourse wasn’t from breaking her hymen, but from the dilation of her vaginal walls by a foreign object (penis), and that seemed to be true. His own penis, reacting to Dietlinde’s seemingly ecstatic screams and the wildly wriggling vagina opening, had become erect and felt painfully tight.
“…Ah… Ahh… It hurts! …Ah… Ahh…”
He instructed Mimi No. 2 to vibrate its body and expand it just a little more.
“…Ah…, eh!? …Ah, ahh, ahh… Noooo!!”
As Mimi No. 2 began to vibrate, Dietlinde’s screams echoed continuously, and with a “Shaaa” sound, holy water (piss) spurted from her urethra opening, forming steam and a pale yellow puddle on the bedsheet.
Dietlinde couldn’t withstand the stimulation from Mimi No. 2 and had lost control of her bladder. He immediately used “Washing Magic” to clean and dry the wet sheets. Fortunately, his efforts had paid off, and Dietlinde’s vagina opening had expanded to a size only slightly smaller than his penis. He praised Mimi No. 2 and dismissed it.
Dietlinde’s vagina opening, expanded by Mimi No. 2, did not immediately contract and remained a lewd, spread-open female genitalia. Her beautiful hair, which graded from silver to dandelion yellow to crimson, was disheveled, and she clutched the bedsheet, burying her face in it and sobbing.
He gently stroked Dietlinde’s hair and whispered in her ear.
“I’m sorry… I couldn’t insert my penis any other way. I’m going to insert it now, is that okay?”
“I… I will become Master Hal’s… property… Then it is fine.”
Dietlinde, her voice muffled, gave her permission. Gripping his erect penis with his right hand, he aimed it at her vagina opening and inserted the glans first. Then, he slowly began penetration. The vaginal cavity, expanded by Mimi No. 2’s work, embraced his penis without tearing. Nevertheless, it was still sufficiently tight and painful.
When about 30% of his penis was swallowed, the vagina became narrower. It seemed he had reached just before the hymen. He looked at Dietlinde again; she was tightly gripping the bedsheet with both hands, biting the edge of the comforter in her mouth, but still a scream escaped through her nose.
“Ugh… ugh… ugh…”
He thought this would be “drawing out the agony” and, holding Dietlinde’s waist with both hands, he broke through the hymen in one go. A single “sign of blood” overflowed from the junction of her vagina opening and his penis, flowing down her inner thighs. His penis, with the momentum, seemed to have reached just before the cervix and was swallowed to the hilt.
“…Ugh! Ugh!!”
Still connected with Dietlinde in the doggy style, he pushed aside her beautiful hair, playfully bit her sensitive ear, and licked her nape. He then grabbed her breasts, which were being crushed by the mattress, and massaged them in a circular motion. Before long, Dietlinde dropped the comforter she had been biting and let out a beautiful moan. Judging that Dietlinde was starting to feel pleasure, he began thrusting. In the bedroom, the sound of Dietlinde’s small but well-toned buttocks and his crotch hitting each other echoed— “pan, pan”—a dry sound like the crack of a whip.
“…Ah… Ah! …Ah, ahhh!!”
Then, he reached climax (orgasm) and released semen into Dietlinde with a “dopiu.” When it was Alicia, he had pulled out of her vagina for fear of pregnancy and ejaculated on her stomach. However, he knew that Dietlinde had not yet reached menarche, the so-called “Fairy Time,” and he had the reliable “Washing Magic” at his disposal, so he didn’t hesitate to ejaculate inside her.
In the end, Dietlinde did not reach climax (orgasm) during the “First Night Ritual.” However, some women don’t begin to feel pleasure until they’ve had intercourse several times, so it couldn’t be helped.
Thus, the “First Night Ritual” with Dietlinde somehow concluded safely, and the two bathed in the tub.
“Was it painful after all?”
“Yes, it was painful… but my heart is full.”
He pulled Dietlinde closer, sat her on his lap, and stroked her head. Her tone of voice had returned to normal, and she was relaxed as if a burden had been lifted. It seemed she had escaped the “hunger to seek me” caused by the side effects of “Resurrection Magic.” Ly and Elise sometimes fell into this state, and he would calm them by holding them.
Incidentally, he hoped that Crown Princess Elizabeth, whom he had returned to her parents within a few days of resurrecting her, would not experience the side effects of “Resurrection Magic.” She was still an 8-year-old child. Given that he had struggled to penetrate even Dietlinde, it was out of the question for her.
