Volume 6 Chapter 19 Neige-san’s Quiet Quest for Redemption ★
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
Magic users often bear the mark of their craft in their hair, turning it silver. Kano Sayo-chan’s hair also shifted to silver upon arriving in this world. Haruka-chan and Scaya-san’s hair is silver too. Just like Ginga-kun’s red hair, some people’s hair color reflects the type of magic they wield.
And now, Neige-san, revealed to be the princess of the Fallen Kingdom, stands in a room at the inn, ready to share an intimate moment with me. The situation is both humbling and nerve-wracking. Her long silver hair and graceful demeanor perfectly embody the image of a princess.
However, including Scaya-san, the dark elf princess, Merina (aka Nyx), the first princess of the Seron Duchy, Ms. Natalie, the former princess of the Lesta Kingdom, Naje, and Eil-Eil… though I’ve only shared a brief moment with Merina, this makes Neige-san the sixth princess I’ve been intimately involved with.
”Then, Takumi-dono, I’m in your care,” Neige-san said, her voice steady and composed as she began to undress, revealing her form with a gentle smile. Though she appeared confident, her experience was likely limited. Earlier, she mentioned that she had been captured on the battlefield, violated, and lost her innocence, after which she became distrustful of men and hadn’t shared intimacy since. That was over ten years ago, so she’s almost like a novice.
”Don’t worry about your comfort. If it’s too much, just let me know, and we’ll pause,” I reassured her.
Of course, Chinatsu-chan tried to stay and observe, but I gently sent her away. She asked, “But Takumi-kun, are you really going to share this moment with Neige-san with… such urgency?” So, I had her help me prepare with a brief, tender moment.
”Let’s begin with a connection, Neige-san,” I said, drawing her close. Just like with everyone else’s first time, I wanted to take it slow, allowing our hearts to align. Her lips were soft and warm, and as I gently deepened our kiss, she hesitantly responded. Soon, our breaths mingled, creating a gentle rhythm as we shared a tender embrace.
”Mmm… ah… nn… ♡”
Eventually, Neige-san became more engaged, and the room was filled with the soft sounds of our connection and quiet breaths. I slowly traced my hands over her form, admiring the grace of her waist and hips before gently cupping her delicate curves. Her elegance and beauty truly made her seem like royalty.
”This is what it means to share a moment with someone…” she murmured.
I didn’t know how to respond. Neige-san was probably in her late twenties. It was heartbreaking that her only experience was one of violation.
”Takumi-dono, let me say this again. I’ve endured much. This mouth has been forced to endure things no one should. Countless times, I’ve been… used,” she confessed.
”Neige-san, don’t speak of yourself that way,” I replied gently.
I understood. From the moment she shared her tragic past with us, I knew she wanted to release the pain she’d carried for so long. She probably couldn’t confide in Dalcur or the mercenaries. And now, the name Ironblood Mercenaries made sense.
”But if you want to talk, I’m here,” I encouraged.
”Thank you… I’m sorry, Takumi-dono. I know this isn’t easy to hear…”
”You don’t have to hold back with me.”
”…When my sister took her own life, I was being… used in front of her. She was forced to witness my pain as she died. ‘Neige, someday, I beg you… seek justice… for us…!’ she cried before her last breath. But I still haven’t fulfilled her wish… Honestly, Dalcur and I are secretly hoping that you, Takumi-dono, might help us seek redemption.”
In her deep blue eyes, a quiet flame of determination burned.
”I can’t promise that. I don’t even know who your enemies are, and I’m already stretched thin with my current challenges,” I admitted.
”Then it’s alright. The traitors who betrayed us while being our allies, driving my sister to her end, are from the Quvarian Empire,” she revealed.
”Really…?”
That was an unexpected twist. The Quvarian Empire was the leader of the Five Nations Alliance, the most powerful country in this world. Why would they do something that would tarnish their reputation?
”I’ve burdened you with such a heavy story. Now, it’s time for me to offer you my comfort…”
Saying this, Neige-san gently touched my hand, her movements hesitant yet tender. She began to explore, her touch light and respectful. For someone with almost no experience, her gestures were heartfelt.
The thought of a former princess, now a mercenary, offering her care was both touching and humbling.
”Thank you, Neige-san. But tonight is about giving you peace. Here, this will help,” I said, handing her the remedy Shiori-chan had given me. I’d confirmed it was safe—Shiori-chan can be a bit unpredictable sometimes.
As I moved to offer her comfort, I felt her tension ease. But tonight was for Neige-san. I drew her close, my touch gentle, my words soft, gradually helping her find solace.
”Ah… Takumi-dono… being treated with such kindness… ♡”
”Everyone deserves kindness,” I whispered.
Well, my usual approach is more assertive, but I’d set that aside for now. Neige-san’s ease grew, and her eyes softened with gratitude. I ran my fingers through her flowing silver hair, offering her words of reassurance.
After about an hour of gentle connection, Neige-san had already found moments of peace, her heart beginning to heal.
”Please… don’t hold back. I’m ready… to feel whole…”
With a mix of royal grace and vulnerability, Neige-san expressed her readiness. I gently guided her to the bed, my touch careful, my movements deliberate. I drew her close once more to ease her tension.
”Alright, I’ll be with you,” I said.
”Yes, please. I’m ready… ah… ♡”
Gently… deepening…
Softly… connecting… warmly… embracing… ♡
Her receptive warmth welcomed me, enveloping me in a tender hold. In no time, we were fully connected. To overwrite her painful memories, I moved with care, determined to give her the comfort she deserved.
