Alexis finally removes the
blindfold after untying the strings that had deprived Fatima of her bodily
freedom.
「Uuu...――」
Fatima squinted at the
light from the wall sconce that suddenly appeared, but she did not cover her
vision with her hand because she could not move.
It was not because of the
aftermath of the act she had just received, but because she had been in the same
posture with her hands and feet tied for a long time.
Thus, for a while Fatima
could only lie on the bed and breathe in and out, worrying about her bare
breast.
（I-I really did this with
Alex...）
She didn't have much time
to think about it.
After all, even now her
stomach was bloated with the liquid that Alexis had poured into her intestines,
stimulating the inside of Fatima.
**a
「Ugh...」
Fatima clenched her butt,
which were about to open, and tried to get up, but she could not move her arms
and legs properly.
But there was no way she
was going to make a mess.
「I-I have to go...」
Fatima tried to pull
herself up. But Alexis said.
「Are you okay?」
「A-Alex...」
（Alex is so gentle...）
Fatima's cheeks are
stained with that thought.
And then, Alexis tries to
pull her hand, saying, "Let me help you," but Fatima's expression
becomes distorted.
（Oh, I see, she can't move
because I made her stay in the same position）
Alexis noticed this and
silently adjusted Fatima's clothes, and then he carried her in a princess hug.
「Huh?? A-Alex?!」
「You can't move, right? So,
I'll carry you」
（...Well, in fact, I don't
want her to mess up my room. And even though I heard that there is no excrement
in Fatima's asshole, but I'm still not sure...）
That was 80% of what
Alexis really meant.
But Fatima, who doesn't
knew it, flushed in Alexis' arms as he picked her up and strode away.
「Alex, I'm... sorry...」
Despite her reluctance,
Fatima eventually chooses to lean against Alexis' chest.
It is true that she would
blow fire with embarrassment if someone saw her in the hallway in such a
situation, but still....
（...I want Alex to do this
to me...）
That was Fatima's true
feeling.
Fatima was so occupied
with the fact that Alexis was holding her and the state of her stomach that
even she was unaware of a small sound coming through the door.
（...was there someone at
the door?）
Alexis also heard it and
he listens closely.
Then, after hearing the
distant thuds and thumps of shoes, Alexis opens the door.
...
After dropping Fatima off
at the bathroom, Alexis went back to his room alone.
He picked up
"something" from the floor and held it tightly in his hand.
* * *
At this time, Fransisca
slammed the door of her private room and leaned her back against the door and
put her hand on her chest, which was still pounding.
Yes, it was Fransisca in
front of Alexis' room.
（That voice. A-Alexis-sama
is with Fatima...）
She can't stop thinking
about the voice she heard through the door during the affair.
Not so long ago, she would
have taken it as a voice of suffering, but now she understands it clearly.
（Fatima sounded
comfortable... and Alexis-sama, to speak in such a gentle voice. I'm...）
「After all, I'm just a
slave...」
Fransisca comes to her
senses, aware of the stinging in her chest and her own muttering.
「W-what am I worried
about...? B-besides, shouldn't I be relieved if Fatima is going to take my
place?? Fatima seems to be willing to do it too...」
（...but if Alexis-sama will
never do that to me again...）
Fransisca felt a
tightening in her chest.
She imagined it. Alexis
would tell Fransisca this again.
『Oh, it's you. And is it a
slave? Yes, it seems that one. But I'm done with that. I have Fatima now.
Anyway... thank you!』
（No, no, no... Alexis-sama
said he wouldn't terminate my slavery!）
Fransisca know it's a
delusion, but she can't stop this sad and painful feeling.
It is true that the
relationship is absurd, but Fransisca is still...
「...sad. Why? Why am I so
sad and in pain...?」
Before she knew it, she
found herself bursting into tears.
She knows that her
position does not call for these feelings. But she can't stop crying.
「Alexis-sama...I, I
already, I can't live without you...」
She wonders if he had
taught her to pleasure herself the other day in order to get rid of her relationship
with him.
Still, Fransisca could
only fight this anxiety alone, clutching her trembling shoulders.

The next day the carriage
were driven again to the front for the journey to Avalon.
Yesterday, earlier than
Dorothea's arrival, Alexis had discussed with Fransisca and had decided the
schedule for the rest of the day.
First, they will continue
to collect crystals in first layer during the week when the blacksmith is
forging the weapons, but for efficiency, they will have other soldiers with
them during the week.
If they work in groups,
they will be able to gather a large amount of crystals in no time.
And in the meantime,
Alexis would like the soldiers in the fort to test the magic effects of the
duplicated crystals that they have accumulated recently and make a list of the
duplicated crystals.
The crystal balls thus
evaluated are to be used in the strategy if they have any usable magical
effects.
Then, as soon as the
weapons are ready after a week of this process, the members who dive into the
dungeon are limited to the original members of the strategy team, and the
strategy team begins to explore the second and subsequent layers.
On the other hand, the
blacksmiths still continue to use the crystals they have accumulated to make
weapons as quickly as possible, and the other soldiers are to equip themselves
one by one. ――This is the procedure.
Fransisca was thinking
this as she and her three vassals were being carried along with Alexis in the
carriage.
But then, she glances at
the back of Alexis who is sitting on the dais and sighs.
（Alexis-sama...）
She can't get rid of this
heavy feeling.
「Your Highness, you don't
look well, is something wrong?」
And it was Fatima, the one
who was making her feel this way, who suddenly asked her this question.
Fransisca thought that
Fatima did not know anything about it. And in fact, she had only intended to
ask Alexis to take care of the parasite monster in her intestines last night.
But Alexis taking
advantage of the situation to do it with her.
Despite this, Fransisca
was fed up with her own ugly jealousy even though she knew it.
（This is not good. I have
to forget what I heard yesterday...）
Thinking of this, she
finally manages to smile.
「I'm fine」
After answering Fatima in
this way, Fransisca turns her gaze towards the landscape.
The awkwardness was not
completely removed and Fatima looked at her strangely. However, Fransisca
thought she had managed to fake it.
（Yes, that's good. We're
going to Avalon now, and I don't have time to worry. I have to try to forget
about it, because if I don't I might cause trouble for my allies）
Fransisca decided in her
mind.

* * *
After an hour's drive from
the fortress, the group arrived at the forest, which was affected with the
darkness, and decided to dive into the dungeon at once.
After finishing their work
in an orderly fashion, they returned to the front encampment as the sun was
setting.
「Everyone, thank you for
your hard work」
Fransisca said as soon as
she came out of the dungeon.
After her voice, the group
members disperse in their own way. It is a habit of the group.
「Your Highness, would you
like to go bathing with us?」
Sara smiles at her, and
Fransisca nods, "Yes, that would be nice," then looks at Alexis with
concern.
「Oh, um...」
Seeing her like that,
Alexis can understand what she says even if she doesn't say it. This has become
a half habit.
「Oh, you want a lookout,
don't you?」
「Y-yes」
Fransisca nods reservedly.
「That's fine, but...」
Alexis was silent, then
said in a voice only Fransisca could hear.
「Come to my tent later」
Fransisca's heart pounded
as he said this.
「Eh? Uh, well, um...」
After a few moments of
hesitation, Fransisca nodded her head.
From that moment on, she
began to wait anxiously for the time to come.
Thanks for reading...
