Yesterday, I handed over Ginette, who had her “demon” or rather “past life memories” sealed, to Mr. Hamilton, the steward of her parental family, the Montaigne Count Family, and received 50 gold coins (equivalent to 5 million yen) as a reward for successfully completing the requested job.
After that, with Viscountess Salibana, who was accompanying Mr. Hamilton, I arranged to hitch a ride on the Southern Viscount Family’s carriage with Alicia to attend a masquerade ball to be held at the White Castle in half a month.
Have all immediate issues been resolved now?
Speaking of which, I still needed to report my return to my family and the Raymond Trading Company, but for the time being, Alicia will be reporting for me.
As for the business succession issue at the Raymond Trading Company, my father is still healthy, so there’s plenty of time.
Furthermore, my father is apparently searching for a capable partner to marry his sister, Miuuki, once he learns that Alicia and I have been granted titles by the Espana Imperial Kingdom.
Even my father, who was quite dejected for a while, unexpectedly ended up in this situation as a result of helping Elizabeth. I never could have predicted this.
“Good morning, Hal. I know it’s presumptuous, but now that Ginette’s issue is settled, I’m preparing to conduct the ‘Quality Check’ for Liliana and Shera at this afternoon’s tea party. Of course, I’ve also invited Alicia.”
“Good morning, Elise. You’re always so diligent in these matters… Well, I’ll permit it.”
“Thank you for your kind approval.”
When I woke up and went out into the hallway, Elise was waiting for me.
She wants to conduct the “Quality Check” for Liliana and Shera, who have become our new party members during our expedition, at this afternoon’s tea party.
After I gave my permission for the “Quality Check” to proceed, Elise left in high spirits.
I introduced this system as an initiation rite for joining the Adventurer Party “Princess Harem,” but now it has become an enjoyable pastime for the existing party members as well.
Perhaps seeing noble beautiful girls shyly exposing their bare skin in full view, even if they are the same gender as oneself, is quite titillating.
Today’s schedule is to tackle the backlog of paperwork.
As expected, running such a large Adventurer Party results in a mountain of various documents.
Until yesterday, I was also busy dealing with the requested jobs from the Adventurer Guild that the remaining members were handling, so it couldn’t be helped.
And then, time flew by, and it was already time for the afternoon tea.
The “Quality Check” for Liliana and Shera was to be held in the living room within my private quarters on the second floor, so even from my office separated by a wall, I could hear the boisterous chatter of the women.
My paperwork had reached a lull, and as the timing was right, I moved from my office to the living room, where the venue setup was complete.
A clean lace tablecloth covered the long table in the living room. A luxurious vase filled with colorful roses was placed in the center of the table, with a three-tiered stand holding cakes and other sweets on one side and a teapot and other items on the other.
Each place was set with an empty teacup on a saucer, a small plate for cake, and utensils such as knives, forks, and spoons, completing the tea party preparations.
A platform was set up at the back of the long table, with a thin pole in the center and a chair beside it.
On the right side of the long table, starting from the back, were an empty seat, Elise, Swan Hilda, Dietlinde, Kirika, and an empty seat.
On the left side, there were Alicia, Ly, Mai, Freya, Edele, Tirna, and an empty seat.
It seemed my seat was the empty one at the very back on the right side, what is commonly called a “birthday seat.”
Then, the empty seats on the lower side were likely for Liliana and Shera.
Liliana and Shera themselves were not yet visible, but they seemed to be waiting in the adjacent room, which served as a waiting room.
As I took my seat, the “Quality Check,” an initiation rite for joining the Adventurer Party “Princess Harem,” began.
When Elise, the “sub-leader” of “Princess Harem,” gave the signal, the door to the adjacent room opened, and Liliana entered.
Today, Liliana’s beautiful, bluish-silver hair, reaching down to her waist, cascaded down her back.
On her head, she wore an elegant tiara made of jewels and delicate silverwork.
Her eye color was a deep blue, reminiscent of a clear lake. The intense gaze she cast at me made me realize the magnitude of her presence, but at the same time, her eyes were moist with a hint of sadness.
It had been a while since I had seen Liliana in full formal attire. I confirmed that the “Melancholy Blue Moon Princess,” who was said to rival Ly’s epithet of “Ice-Flame Beautiful Princess,” was still as radiant as ever.
I glanced at Ly and saw her smiling as she looked at her rival.
However, I wondered if she didn’t know that Liliana was an ardent admirer of heroes.
She was wearing a chic, dark green dress.
The dress was sleeveless, and she wore pure white gloves that covered her arms up to her elbows.
The waist of the dress was cinched with a decorative cord, emphasizing Liliana’s slender figure.
Meanwhile, the chest area was adorned with a decoration resembling rose petals, covering her beautiful curves.
The hem of the dress reached her ankles, making her attire suitable for attending a ball.
As Liliana passed behind me, she gave me a sidelong glance that was, to be honest, dizzying.
Her beauty, which rivaled Ly’s and was enough to topple kingdoms, was still intact, and my son became erect, causing me trouble.
It seemed I was already erect before Liliana’s “Quality Check” had even begun.
Liliana, having ascended the platform, sat down on the prepared chair.
Liliana had excellent posture, making her a beautiful sight even when just sitting.
“Then, we shall begin.”
Liliana herself declared the start of the “Quality Check” in a faint voice, like the chirping of a mosquito.
Then, Liliana spread her legs, which had been tightly closed, but the hem of her dress was long, so her bare skin was not visible.
After spreading her legs slightly wider than her shoulder width, she grasped the hem of her dress with her delicate hands, clad in pure white gloves, and slowly began to lift it.
At this moment, Liliana blushed from shame, and perhaps to avoid our gaze, she averted her face, a gesture that was incredibly cute.
Her legs appeared to be bare, and her small bare feet were revealed, followed by her slender ankles, and then her long legs came into view.
I glanced at Elise and saw that her eyes were fixed on Liliana’s beautiful bare legs.
Furthermore, as the hem of the dress was lifted further, a glimpse of the fabric concealing Liliana’s private parts was visible at the dim base of her legs.
As our eyes fixated on Liliana’s private parts, she slightly raised the corners of her mouth, and then the hem of her dress fell back into place with a rustle.
Ly was also skilled at such dramatic presentations, but the events occurring within the women’s quarters were a world beyond the comprehension of an outsider like myself.
After that, Liliana brought her hands to her sides and slowly pulled at the fabric of the dress.
The decoration resembling rose petals that adorned the neckline of the dress began to unravel.
This mechanism was the same as the one on the outfit worn by Liliana, known as “Rose” at “Drop of Rose,” a high-class brothel in the former Kamiyar Holy Nation’s territory. In her hands, she held rose petals and the fabric of the dress, which had transformed into vine-like shapes.
Looking at the dress, it had transformed into a daring neckline, revealing a suggestive cleavage.
Moreover, with the absence of the rose petals, the outline of Liliana’s beautiful breasts was visible through the fabric, and if one looked closely, it seemed the nipples might even be discernible.
Then, Liliana slowly rose from her seat and cast a meaningful sidelong glance at Dietlinde, who was seated behind me.
Following that, a faint orb of light, like a firefly, floated before me and gathered at the hem of Liliana’s dress.
This light was the small flame that had burned through the white dress Ginette wore during her “First Night Ritual.”
As I had expected, it appeared to be Dietlinde’s fire spirit magic.
While I was contemplating this, the spirit flame moved to the waist area of the dress and extinguished.
Then, a deep slit formed in the dress Liliana was wearing, a dress befitting a princess from a sheltered home.
Liliana smiled slyly with a provocative gaze towards me and Ly, then grabbed the pole installed in the center of the platform and entwined her right leg around it.
As she did, her long, bare leg was exposed through the deep slit in her dress.
Liliana provocatively writhed her body, hugging the pole, enticing me.
Furthermore, she then lifted one leg while holding onto the pole.
Her healthy and supple bare leg was exposed to the extreme through the slit in the dress, and the pure white fabric of her panties at her crotch area occasionally peeked through.
Everyone seemed to share the desire to uncover the mysteries of a beautiful girl’s body. Liliana, with her sensuous hip movements around the pole and her alluring dance, had transformed from a royal princess into a high-class prostitute.
The moment Liliana’s sidelong glance hit Dietlinde again, a spirit flame suddenly ignited on the right shoulder strap of Liliana’s dress.
The spirit flame slowly moved, burning through the shoulder strap, and the fabric fluttered down, revealing Liliana’s well-shaped breast.
Liliana’s breasts were not as large as Ly’s explosive ones or Elise and Swan Hilda’s large breasts.
However, they were beautifully conical, and the subtle sway that accompanied Liliana’s dance was exquisite.
This translucency was likely a beauty beyond words.
Meanwhile, the left shoulder strap was also burned away, completely exposing Liliana’s chest.
By then, Liliana was sweating, and the sweet and sour scent of her perspiration and her sweat-glistened naked body appeared as the supreme work of art.
When she let go of the pole, Liliana was breathing heavily, but after a moment, she calmed down and seemed to come to her senses, her face turning bright red. She then covered her crotch area with her right hand and her breasts with her left.
Liliana, who had transformed back from a high-class prostitute into an innocent maiden, had various parts of her body peeking out from her tattered dress.
At that moment, spirit flames ignited at several points on the dress, and after performing complex movements, the decorative cord around her waist was burned away and flowed onto the platform, followed by the dress itself, which was completely torn to shreds and peeled away from Liliana’s body.
Thus, Liliana was left wearing only her arm gloves and pure white panties.
Liliana, bashfully hiding her half-naked body, displayed a very youthful form.
Looking at Elise, she had forgotten about her beloved sweets and was holding her breath, while Ly stared with the eyes of a rival. Swan Hilda, on the other hand, watched while munching on cake.
Then, I glanced at Alicia, whose face was bright red, and she was covering it with her palm, but her fingers were spread wide, so it seemed she was watching intently.
As this happened, a change occurred in Liliana on the platform.
Liliana straightened her posture, and without concern for her exposed breasts, she brought her hands to her neck and smoothed her lustrous silver hair.
Her luxurious silver waterfall rustled down, and as she arched her back, her erect nipples, which had become noticeable, added to the beautiful twin mounds that delighted our eyes.
As a final act, she placed her hands on her panties and leaned forward slightly, beginning to remove them.
As a result, her posture emphasized the swell of her breasts, making it difficult to decide where to focus our attention.
Liliana’s private crack, glistening with sweat, was revealed, and the panties she wore were thrown behind her.
She still wore the gloves on her arms, which, on the contrary, served as an accent, highlighting Liliana’s naked body.
Of course, the tiara adorning her head was still in place, creating a strange atmosphere where the noble princess from a sheltered home and the beautiful prostitute from a high-class brothel merged into one.
“Liliana, thank you. I have confirmed that there are no flaws in Liliana’s body.”
As I announced the quality results, as I always do, Liliana’s “Quality Check” concluded, and she was truly welcomed as a member of “Princess Harem.”
Next, it was Shera’s turn.
I am looking forward to seeing what elaborations she will come up with.
Thank you for reading.
