Chapter 143 The Princess’s Secret Request


Edited by: Kanaa-senpai


 It was late morning on a holiday when Princess Elisabeth of the Empire arrived at my estate without any prior appointment.


 Her reason for coming: along the border between the Empire and my Margrave Grimlock territory, an unsettling “incident” had been brewing, and she wanted whatever information I had on it.


 I told her I’d look into it promptly.


 After we’d shared lunch, we continued our conversation over tea – the finest blend my personal maid Lilia had brewed. The soft early-summer sunlight streaming through the window gently illuminated Elisabeth’s beautiful profile.


 ”Is your business today only about investigating the Frontier’s anomalies?”


 ”Ah, no. That’s not all… I also wanted to properly thank you for handling that incident the other day so skillfully. I truly appreciated it.”


 She meant the affair at the tea party – where I’d dealt with that villainess Violetta in rather spectacular fashion.


 ”It was only what needed to be done.”


 ”…And so, well… I…”


 She faltered mid-sentence. Her snow-white cheeks flushed slightly, and her gaze kept flickering toward Freya – standing like a statue at her diagonal rear – and Lilia, who was still attending to us.


 ”Would you prefer to continue this conversation somewhere more private?”


 ”Y-yes… please.”


 It seemed this was something quite sensitive. I took Elisabeth to my bedchamber – a place where we could be completely alone.


 The quiet room, just the two of us. A pleasant early-summer breeze drifted softly through the window.


 ”So – what is it you wanted to tell me?”


 I asked her that as I moved to close the window and draw the curtains. A princess baring her private troubles deserved privacy, after all. Cutting off outside eyes would make it easier for her to speak.


 The room slowly fell silent.


 Her lips trembled, as if about to form words that wouldn’t come.


 ”Well… it’s… you see… at the tea party the other day… I watched Violetta being disciplined by you… and I realized… I envied her. I envied her so much.” Her cheeks burned. “It’s strange, isn’t it…? This feeling…”


 Here, in this room with just the two of us, Elisabeth shyly confessed her hidden maiden’s heart. A classic beauty, trusting me despite her embarrassment, offering up the secrets of her soul.


 The sight was endearing – and achingly lovely.


 Now then… what should I say?


 ”There’s nothing strange about it. Many ladies carry a deep-seated desire to be firmly disciplined by a man from time to time. It’s far more common than you’d think. So there’s no need to be embarrassed.”


 I spoke gently, then wrapped an arm around her trembling shoulder and guided her toward the large full-length mirror propped against the corner of the room.


 ”Now then. Place your hands on it.”


 I channeled a trace of Mana into the antique mirror, activating it, then directed her to brace herself against the wall with the mirror between us.


 ”Y-yes…”


 Elisabeth obeyed as if in a dream, following my every word.


 ”Then, in response to that adorable request of yours… let me discipline you. Firmly.”


 ”P-please… do…”


 I gave her what she so earnestly desired – harshly, yet gently.


 In that dim room, with thick curtains blocking the daylight, I gave this beautiful princess a secret, forbidden pleasure. Sometimes gentle, sometimes fierce. Sometimes sharp, sometimes graceful. I traced my fingers lovingly over her deep blue hair and her back, white and beautiful as silk.


 Lost in time, I surrendered myself to that sweet communion with her.


 When our long, loving conversation finally ended, she’d drifted off to sleep in pleasant exhaustion. I laid her gently on the bed and covered her with a fine blanket so she wouldn’t catch cold.


 I pressed a tender kiss to her peaceful sleeping face, then quietly left the room.


 Let Elisabeth rest for a while.


 In the meantime, I still had things to do.


 I headed for a particular room – one of the servants’ waiting rooms, specifically the one equipped with the paired magical artifact that corresponded to the mirror I’d just used.


 The moment I entered, I found Freya Bertrand – Princess Elisabeth’s loyal guardian knight – sprawled inelegantly across the sofa.


 And she was breathing heavily.


 The sound of the door opening. Freya’s head snapped up, her eyes landing on me, the sudden intruder. Her normally composed face was flushed bright red.


 ”Tsk. Naughty girl. Pining after the princess you’re sworn to serve – and you’ve been at it again, haven’t you?”


 ”Y-you bastard…! Opening doors without knocking…!”


 (As if you didn’t know I was coming…)


 I approached Freya slowly. I reached out and gently, affectionately, stroked her fiery red-brown hair. She glared at me with those intense eyes, but made no move to resist.


 ”I’ll take care of you again today.”


 It wasn’t just the beautiful princess Elisabeth who made her heart burn with longing – it was me, the princess’s one and only partner, too.


 To help her release that pent-up passion, I lent a hand with her grueling “training.”


 It was about three months after Freya had come to serve as Elisabeth’s guard that I’d managed to deepen our relationship to this degree. I’d set the exact same trap I’d set today – and she’d fallen for it completely, showing me her utterly defenseless true self.


 And in that state…


 I’d courted her, aggressively and without hesitation.


 Since then, while Elisabeth rested, I’d also taken on the role of her “training partner.”


 Today, I’d helped her release that excess passion once again. Freya lay sprawled out, basking in the afterglow.


 ”Alright. Get up. Fix your uniform.”


 ”R-right…! Just… give me a moment…!”


 She hurriedly straightened her slightly rumpled knight’s uniform. I escorted her back to the bedchamber where Elisabeth still slept.


 On the way –

 Summary:

 Elisabeth visits Xenos’s estate unannounced to investigate a border anomaly. After lunch and tea, she privately confesses she envied Violetta’s discipline at the tea party and desires the same. Xenos fulfills this in his bedchamber using a magic mirror paired with Freya’s room. Afterward, he finds Freya pleasuring herself to the sounds through the paired artifact and helps her release her pent-up passion. The chapter reveals this “training” arrangement has been ongoing for three months since Freya first fell for Xenos’s trap.


 —


 Trivia:

 The magic mirror and its paired artifact allow Xenos to observe and interact with Freya while with Elisabeth.

 Elisabeth’s desire for discipline stems from watching Xenos “break” Violetta at the tea party.

 Freya has been Elisabeth’s guard for about three months; Xenos established the “training” dynamic by setting a trap for her.

 Freya makes no resistance when Xenos enters the waiting room, implying she knew or expected him.

 The “training” sessions occur while Elisabeth rests after their encounters.

 Xenos courted Freya “aggressively and without hesitation” after she fell for the trap.

 Lilia prepares the finest tea blends.

 The border incident is described as an “unsettling incident” brewing between the Empire and Grimlock territory.
