"G-Good evening..."
"Yes, how can I help you?"
"It's just that we..."
Night had fallen, Darryl and Dominique had arrived at Erselica's mansion. Knocking on the door, Felicia appeared.
As was normal, two boys who had nothing to do with the person who lived here didn't know how to ask to be allowed to sleep for a while.
Darryl was still babbling while Dominique felt embarrassed. Felicia was puzzled by the boys' behavior.
At that, Erselica arrived.
"What's wrong?"
"Erselica-sama, are they acquaintances of yours? Their clothes are clearly those of knights of the Kingdom."
Erselica looked at both of them, Darryl swallowed saliva and then prostrated himself on the ground.
Dominique joined him after looking at him.
"Please allow us to live here for a while!"
"... Huh?"
Both Felicia and Erselica made the same confused expression.
Dominique proceeded to tell what happened.
As the minutes passed, Erselica said.
"I understand your situation. The cost of living here is high as everything is super luxury. As someone who struggles to have daily money, I understand your frustration of having to beg for it."
Erselica recalled how she must beg Rudel for money for the five boys who finish everything in the kitchen.
With a smile and a nod of approval she said.
"It won't be free, but you will be able to live here. Of course, you will work on the daily tasks and your payment will be a single room, bath and food until you return home."
They both showed their joy at hearing those wonderful words.
Felicia, on the other hand, thought.
(You accepted her request only because you don't like having to do housework with two people. But now that me and Ada-san came along, your duty has been reduced and with two more people you can have more free time, can't you?)
Felicia knew Erselica's manipulation skills on pitiful men.
This situation was ideal for her.
As Erselica was rejoicing in her "goodness", they arrived.
"Erselica, we're leaving."
"Okay, take your time."
Liam and the others had towels, soap and extra clothes in their hands.
Darryl after greeting them asked.
"Excuse me, where are these people going?"
He thought Liam and the boys were servants because of their humble clothes. He was unaware that the boy in front of him was their prince.
Liam said.
"We're going to a bathhouse after we eat out... and you are?"
The boys introduced themselves and Erselica told what happened.
"I see." Liam said, after touching his chin a bit expressed.
"Do you guys want to join us too? We'll pay your share don't worry."
Darryl exclaimed after raising his hands.
"I-Impossible, you're already giving us so much of your help and something like that─!"
"We cordially accept."
In a serious tone like his gaze, Dominique spoke for the two of them.
"From your clothes I can gather that everyone will be going outside. To stay inside by ourselves would be rude. For that, we appreciate your offer."
"Th-That certainly is so..."
Accepted Darryl's reply from Dominique who had other thoughts.
(A big bathroom with lots of very attractive boys, this is certainly fate.)
For some reason his eyes were sparkling.
Liam closed the door and they all walked out.
Before walking, Felicia spoke to Ada who had Allen under her large breasts.
"Is it okay to just leave? I'd like to stay for any case."
"We can't, after all, this is an intimate moment between them. So we have to give them privacy. Besides, I'm more concerned about Master Walt and his little secret."
"Huh?"
"I-I didn't say anything!"
◇
Erselica and the others came out.
She told me it was to give us space.
Once they left I went to my room to think.
Lucy's problem was solved and settled.
But now the real question is what will I do with her at home?
She will live with me until I return to the Kingdom.
Once we get there... where will she live?
My Mentor said she can enroll next year in the academy.
But... and then?
Alisa and Airi have already accepted her as my new concubine. Which implies that we will be married upon graduation.
I understood that I'm a horrible man.
I love my girlfriends, but Lucy is a very wonderful and beautiful girl.
I sincerely want her to be with me forever.
She is not the only one.
Sara─ Sara Ciel Rosenberg, the Acting Chairman's daughter and also the villainess, a beautiful girl with wavy yellowish blonde hair and beautiful emerald green eyes. She is also my lover.
Of course, it is not official yet as she needs approval from her father and the Kingdom.
A few months ago Sara said she loved me, the reason was because apparently I had a cousin named Rudel. He lived here and one day he died tragically... just like me.
It scares me to think a little about the similarities of our deaths. At least the one in my former life.
I thought Sara loved me as a replacement for her first love, but she said it wasn't so. She loved me for who I am and not who I look like.
Another detail I discovered about how horrible I am, is that I spent all day looking at my girlfriends' breasts.
Even though it was such a serious time, I figured out how to sneak a peek.
There was also Ada, who has a huge chest. It's the kind of breast you'd ask to suckle you.
Speaking of huge breasts, in the Kingdom I have two more lovers.
One of them is Ellen─ Eleonora von Roseblaire, a beautiful academy graduate girl who always teased me with her playful personality and sensual lips painted the same color as her hair.
Which was cyan blue in curls, and with her beautiful fuchsia eyes.
She seduced me so much that I could not resist and took her as my woman.
With her I now have three women from the Altfode Kingdom who are my lovers, but there is a fourth, the most impossible catch of all. One that I am sure, had it not been for last year's war, I would never have made it.
The Queen, Her Majesty Lecia, Liam's mother and the wife of the King's dirty bastard, Leonis von Altfode, a man who is supposedly young but actually looks like an old man, Liam would look exactly like him in the future.
She became my woman, we are secret lovers.
She told me that after helping Liam ascend to the throne, after earning the distrust of everyone, even the prime minister, she will give birth to my children.
Just hearing that she wants to have my children was reason enough for my head to explode and have my first time with her.
Ascending to adulthood is wonderful as I lost my virginity.
I got to make a woman mine who is the epitome of a goddess.
Besides, I wanted to rub it in that trash king's face and tell him.
"Your wife is mine now, hahahaha, a pubert like me took your queen from you! Are you going to cry? Please let me record it."
I would say it without hesitation as I hug her and show that by not touching his wife I took her from him.
It feels good to know that I will make the bastard king of Leonis suffer.
And speaking of first times.
Ellen showed me something I thought was only supposed to exist in the movies I watched to pass the time.
Ellen certainly made me want more... would it be wrong to ask them to do it?
I'm a little afraid to do it and have them look at me with disgusted eyes.
Lucy said she wanted to be intimate with me when the Jude case happened.
Does that mean I can have as much adult fun as I want?
I'm getting a little anxious, I can feel the blood rushing to a particular place.
"Rudel, are you awake?"
Alisa was knocking on the door as she fantasized about seeing them all in cat ears and bikinis.
"Y-Yes. Come in..."
I removed my pleasure face so she wouldn't think I was doing anything weird.
When she came in, Alisa gave the feeling that she had taken a bath by her smell and her unbound hair.
She sat down next to me.
"Is something wrong?"
I asked curious, she said.
"I wanted to know just the plan from now on."
"What plan?"
"Isn't it obvious? We'll be here in Aster for a month. Obviously we want to be with you... and even more now that Lucy joined us."
The dating plan I told them I was going to have when they come, I totally forgot because of recent events.
"S-Sorry, I don't have anything to be thinking about you two and Lucy."
*Sigh*
Alisa sighed and then from her pocket handed me a letter.
I opened it and there was a list of restaurants, tourist spots, and wholesome fun zones all over Aster's territories.
"This is it?"
"I figured something like this would happen due to Lucy, so I prepared with Airi this after the information Felicia gave me."
"Now you have no excuse to forget about it."
"Thank you."
I thanked Alisa and gave her a hug.
Her cheeks reddened and her aptitude changed as she crossed her arms under her breasts and made a "Hmph" which implied that this her spoiled ojou-sama mode.
"You have a lot to do now, don't expect us to be content to go once or twice do you?"
*Giggles*
"Sure, sure, I'll content my spoiled duke's daughter just the way she wants."
"That's right, as a duke's daughter you must satisfy my needs."
"...!"
Without her realizing it, Alisa said something very obscene without meaning to.
That made her face turn red and she tapped me.
"Look what you made me say! D-Dumb! Womanizer!"
"Sorry~, sorry~."
(She's really cute when she gets like that. I'd like to tease her more but ojou-sama mode doesn't last long.)
"Rudel-san, Alisa, are you there?"
Airi knocked on the door.
As Alisa pinched my cheeks I said.
"Cohme hin."
As I walked in, I noticed that both Alisa and Airi had the same fresh and sweet smell, also their hair looked like it had just come out of the bath.
Alisa stopped hitting me and hugged me out of nowhere.
Airi sat down next to me and hugged me as well.
I was puzzled by this sudden change of atmosphere and asked.
"Is something wrong, you two?"
"Rudel..."
Alisa was the first to speak, as she raised her head to look at me, her eyes were moist.
"How much have you done with Lucy?"
"... By 'done' do you mean dated or... more intimate?"
"Intimate."
I can understand where this is going, so I spoke frankly.
"All I could do was kiss her twice, I haven't done anything else with her."
"I see, Airi."
Now Airi lifted her head and gave me a deep kiss.
*Kissing*
Our tongues intertwined like ropes tied together, neither wanting to let go of the other.
Saliva dripped from our mouths as we formed a swirl with our tongues.
After a while of tasting our mouths, she ended the kiss.
Alisa said as she unbuttoned my shirt.
"Rudel, our secret plan was to have lots of fun with you on our dates. But after that special night..."
"We want more."
Airi finished what Alisa was going to say.
"By being connected, we could appreciate what it really means to love someone. Rudel-san, I want us others of your love, but much more than you think."
Airi kissed me again, Alisa finished pulling my shirt off and now went to my belt.
"I never thought of feeling so good, Rudel, as your future wife, I understand that you don't want to have a child while we are at the academy, but understand that having Lucy with you now, our needs have increased."
"Needs?"
I didn't understand that. They both stood up and began unbuttoning their front buttons.
Each button made their breasts pop a little and get bigger.
Their dresses fell down and I could appreciate not only their normal lingerie, which for some reason seemed very erotic.
They both brought their breasts close to my face and squeezed me with all their might.
"We want to be one again. Rudel, give us more, I want to feel you inside me more than you enjoy our bodies."
It was paradise, two big pairs of breasts rubbing up and down, left and right, in an oval or rectangular shape. It was paradise.
Both of their breathing was getting heavy. I touched their backs and slid my hands over their butts.
They were big, soft and above all, mine.
I groped them as much as I wanted.
A villainess daughter of a ducal house.
A saint who will save the world at the end of the game.
What more could I ask for?
I want to enjoy my life more.
"Rudel-san, even if you have fun with Lucy-san, remember that we want you to be aware of us too."
"Don't worry, we won't end up pregnant since our periods ended recently. You can follow everything straight to the end and without thinking about taking it out."
"Rudel."
"Rudel-san."
They both shed their bras and then their underwear.
"I want you to make me your woman more than I already am."
In all excitement I shouted.
"Of course I do!"
◇◇◇
Lucy was outside at the door sitting on the floor, her knees drawn up, she had a sad expression on her face.
"Rudel, don't bite."
"Hehehe, he really likes breasts. Go ahead, Rudel-san, bite all you want."
She stayed in her room all day. The reason was because she didn't know how to react to Alisa and Airi.
She had said she was her boyfriend's lover, such a thing had never ever crossed her mind.
But it did, she said it, Lucy was accepted as Rudel's new concubine and now she was his woman.
She was happy because she was his.
But... there was still one obstacle left.
(Those two really are amazing.)
Alisa and Airi were bathing in the large bathroom of the mansion.
It was a waste of water in that room so Erselica shut it off.
They didn't care and went in.
Lucy saw them and wanted to have a girl-to-girl talk with them.
But...
(What's with those looks?)
Both Alisa and Airi gave Lucy a blank stare as they undressed.
Neither said anything, the look only lasted a blink, but they clearly indicated that they were not interested in chatting.
Lucy understood that perfectly.
If someone said to her, "I want to be your man's woman, so let's get along," she would take it as an insult.
She knew from Erselica and Rudel their bond with those two.
She knew exactly what they went through, so Lucy thought it was perhaps a bit offensive for her to try to approach them on the very day she was named as a concubine.
But still, Lucy felt that they went a little too far with their cold stare.
(I understand that there are we must take our positions as the concubine and wife, but they themselves ignore that. So, is it because I'm the new one that they didn't include me despite shouting that they would?)
Lucy heard how Airi told Alisa that they should be intimate, Alisa agreed and Lucy who was brushing her teeth heard that.
She came to see if it was true.
It was, the pleasurable sounds of Rudel and those two echoed loudly in the place.
She didn't know what they were doing inside, but no doubt the man was enjoying having two women with him.
Lucy didn't care if she was invited, so she made up her mind.
(Next time it will be my turn to be alone with him. Two of us can play the game of showing who is the woman he most prefers.)
(Rudel is also mine, as his woman I will not lose to his other lovers.)
Despite that thought, Lucy stayed until they were done having fun.
Apparently they were going to sleep there.
She could see a gray sphere approaching, it seemed to want to say something to her, but said nothing.
Lucy stood up and motioned to it, "Go ahead."
The sphere entered and began to clean the room.
The smell was thick with sweat and the atmosphere was very hot.
Lucy with her eyes peering out looked at Rudel sleeping with a happy face that indicated he had no regrets.
At his sides two girls just as happy as he was, rested on his chest.
Their pleasant faces were just like the ones Lucy made when she fell in love with him.
She recognized those looks as true love.
Lucy had rivals, a man's heart is an easy thing to conquer, but difficult when there is more than one love interest.
Lucy proclaimed in her heart that next time it would be her turn, as she watched a white sphere take pictures and mutter strange things like.
"The things Alisa-chan did with her mouth!"
"Airi-chan demonstrating her lust!"
"Master enjoying having two tongues in the same place! It's certainly very wonderful stuff, I want to collect much more for the future!"
"Bell, don't you dare upload to my main body server those pictures."
◇◇◇
Diana had arrived at the mansion where she lived with her fiancé, Lugh, but he was worried because she hadn't been back for a long time.
"Diana, what do you mean, you went into the dungeon?"
Lugh's questioning was very annoying, and Diana's attitude was clear.
"It's just as you hear it. Keep in mind that I mentioned it to you before the vacations."
"I didn't think you meant it! It's dangerous to go by yourself!"
From Lugh's point of view, he was excited about the vacation.
But when he found out that she had entered the dungeon for real, he couldn't resist and started questioning her.
"Why did you do something so dangerous? You didn't have to. We can live well enough, can't we?"
"I had to run an important errand."
She couldn't tell Lugh the details of the situation.
But, Diana's explanation did not satisfy Lugh.
This whole situation was observed by Zero, who was standing next to Diana and decided to suddenly interrupt.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Lugh-sama. I am Zero. I serve Diana-sama as a spaceshi.... oops, I can't say it. I'm an airship."
Lugh looked confused at Zero's sudden appearance.
"Huh, an airship? Despite being so small?"
"Oh, the main unit is separated. Diana-sama and Zack-sama picked me up, and that's how I got out. They really helped me a lot~."
"... Huh, Zack was with you?"
Seeing Zero talking too lightly, Diana quickly reached out her hands to grab him, and immediately caught him.
"What the hell are you doing here!"
"I thought my explanation would clear up any misunderstanding."
"I-Idiot! I told you not to come out!"
"Huh? The instructions I heard were to stay hidden for a while and... Isn't that right?"
Diana, realizing that her instructions were unclear, looked at Lugh.
As she wondered how to explain, Lugh asked her in a harsher manner than before.
"Diana, what's going on?! Why were you with Zack!?"
Seeing Lugh's voice getting louder Diana was a little surprised.
She hadn't expected the shy Lugh to be so angry.
"I-it's nothing! I needed it to get into the dungeon."
"You didn't tell me you were with a man! Diana, we're engaged now, did you know that?"
"You should understand that right now for someone to see you with a man other than me, and even if it's a childhood friend you have, they would start to think badly of you."
Diana thinks.
(Lugh is too kind and protective.)
(I understand that he cares for me in various ways, but. There were times when I thought he was annoying, but once I got used to it, I didn't care.)
Diana thought about how she rejected Zack's advances and chose Lugh.
And so she was even more angry at Lugh for not believing her.
(I turned down Zack's flirtations, and you suspect I'm cheating on you?)
Diana raised her voice more than Lugh.
"Nothing happened! More importantly, are you going to question me every time I do something like that? Don't be jealous of a mere friend."
"I'm not jealous, but why, of all people, is it Zack? You think I don't know what he thinks of you?"
"What? Can't you trust me?"
Lugh's shoulders shook as she narrowed her eyes.
A similar memory came into his head, something like that had happened in his previous life.
"Th-that's not what I meant..."
It was easy to press Lugh's weakling.
She thought he would back down if she spoke sternly enough to him, but today he was resisting.
However, Diana thought that was it.
"Don't talk about this anymore, okay?"
"... Y-Yes."
Once Lugh's problem was solved, Diana turned her attention to Zero.
"Same goes for you! From now on don't show yourself in public without permission!"
"I'm sorry for being careless."
As he quickly apologized Diana could not move on.
It was true that her instructions were bad, so she let it go this time.
"I'm going to go to my room and check my bags."
Saying this Diana retreated alone.
"Bags?"
"I'll go look at the airship and its functions."
Zero and Lugh were left alone.
◇◇◇
At the Wayne family home when Zack returned, the servants greeted him, the head butler indicated that his father, Lucian called him to his study.
The Wayne head was dismayed to see his adopted son Zack, who was usually someone a bit of a prankster, with a very rebellious aptitude.
"You snot-nosed brat, where have you been all this time!?"
"The servants have informed me that you ran away from the mansion and the school has told me that you will fail again at this rate."
"As the next head of Wayne Household, your actions are truly displeasing to your future and our pride as a great noble."
"Yes, yes, I'm really sorry~."
He said in a joking tone after sitting on the couch, looking at the ceiling and waving his hand in a disinterested manner.
He even pulled out match as his father spoke.
"I want a detailed report of what you did all this time. Also, you are aware of what happened recently aren't you?"
"What happened with the Altfode Kingdom or something, right?"
"That's right, Wayne Household and Lunor Household are the only ones who haven't lost trust and influence because of that brat."
"Partly untrustworthy the current situation with him, but at the same time I don't care since he did me a favor by making two nuisances lose influence, hahaha, I never thought the day would come when that Randolf would ask for my opinion, everything is going bright and shiny for us."
Zack looked at his father with a sneer.
(I was thinking of telling him about the missing object we found... but better to keep it a secret like that.)
(If he finds out about it, he'll no doubt force me to stay longer and I won't be able to go with Diana.)
"If you have nothing more to say, I'm going to my room."
"There will soon be an important announcement and both the chiefs and their heirs must attend, don't you dare miss it."
Zack paused under that command.
"I will, father..."
Zack shut the door and stood there for a moment.
"Damn, that brat is nothing but trouble. Worst of all, Malcolm is my biological son and I had to remove him from the position just because he was chosen by the sacred tree."
"It really would have been the other way around so I wouldn't have been bitter about this worthless adopted son."
Zack clenched his fists and went straight to his room.
◇◇◇
"Aah~ I'm tired."
Zack returned to his room which was tidy just as he left it half a year ago.
All of his things were just as placed and clean.
Zack crossed his arms behind his head and closed his eyes.
A memory came to him.
It was from his childhood.
Zack lived in the Wayne territory with his real parents.
Who loved him dearly despite being peasants.
He was happy, even though he had no luxuries, he enjoyed his life.
When he turned five years old, he went with his parents to the Vermillion territory where the ceremony of obtaining the emblem took place.
Underneath one of the big roots was a huge mansion, and all the Wayne's were there to congratulate Zack.
It didn't matter if they knew each other or not, this was a sacred date where all the relatives had to come, leaving their duties whether they were important or not.
Zack stood in front of a root which reached all the way to the ground.
He said the prayer that everyone was to give.
Then Lucian and his son Malcolm, a young man with a beard, came forward to give him his blessing.
Zack placed his right hand on the root and asked that the sacred tree give him its blessing.
At that moment, small roots reached out and caught his right hand, Zack felt scared but his parents told him to calm down.
But he was not the only one.
"What is this?"
Lucian's heir's hand was caught by bigger roots, there was a strange light and the emblem on his hand disappeared.
Everyone was horrified at such an occurrence.
Then.
"This is it!"
Zack's hand glowed, it was the emblem of the successor.
The sacred tree chose him just as in the game to be the next head of the Wayne's.
There was an uproar over this.
Many who were on Malcolm's side did not want Zack to be the next head, there were others who said it was an order from the sacred tree.
Almost a week later, Malcolm left home and headed to the Vermillion territory to work as a teacher.
While Zack was adopted by Lucian as his new son.
Zack objected to it, he asked his parents not to allow it, but what he saw left him traumatized.
His parents were bought with money, lots of money, so much money that they couldn't believe it.
Zack saw how his parents preferred money more than him.
From that day on, Zack hated the nobility, the great nobles and most of all his family.
"Wake up, Zack-sama."
◇◇◇
"Uwaah!"
Zack startled as he noticed a yellow-lensed purple sphere staring at him.
"W-What the hell are you doing here!?"
Zero spoke to him in a concerned tone.
"We agreed to meet at 8 o'clock at the port, it's after 10 o'clock at night."
"What do you mean?! It's that late?!"
"Yes. That's why Diana-sama sent me to pick you up."
"Damn it, give me a few moments, I'll put away the most important things and we'll go!"
"Understood... by the way."
"What's wrong?"
Zero asked as Zack put away his underwear.
"I was always curious about this, but why do humans cry when they remember sad things?"
"Sorry?"
Zack touched his cheek and felt wetness on it.
He clicked his tongue after saying.
"It's nothing, forget it."
"I understand, it's something humans do to vent their pains."
"Whatever, I'm ready now, let's go!"
◇◇◇
*Gasp*
Zack was running in the harbor along with Zero.
Escaping from the Wayne Household was easy as he knew various methods.
As he ran straight to the airship, he thought.
(Never mind my past or my family.)
(I am me and no one else.)
(I am Zack from Wayne Household, of the despicable great nobles of Aster.)
(One day I will make a name for myself as an adventurer and be the first great noble adventurer of all. Then no one will treat me as an object and I can live as I please.)
Zack arrived at the anchorage of the airship which was camouflaged as a normal ship.
There was Diana talking to someone.
"Diana, sorry for the late─!"
Zack's smile faded little by little when he saw that Lugh was with her.
Diana noticed his presence and said.
"You're late, what were you doing?"
"Nothing... I overslept."
Zack and Lugh came face to face.
In a friendly tone, Lugh greeted him.
"Hello, Zack... when did you get back?"
"A little while ago, you look healthy Lugh, good for you."
"Thanks, my health must be better than ever since I'm Diana's fiancé."
Zack clenched his fist tightly at that.
But with his trusty smile he said.
"I know, but that doesn't mean she's not looking for someone else."
"Hey, stop talking!"
Diana yelled at him to shut up, grabbed his arm and Zack was silent. Diana said goodbye to Lugh.
"We'll see each other soon, I'll endeavor to be back for our engagement party, don't worry."
"... Alright, have a good one."
Zero spoke to Lugh to reassure him.
"Don't worry Lugh-sama, I have a method to know if anything would happen between the two of them, so have no doubt that if they do anything I will tell on them, despite the fact that you are not my master."
"What a lot of mumbling!"
"I've already been lectured, see you."
Zero flew off after Diana.
Lugh watched as his fiancé took the arm of a man who was smiling as if he had won a prize.
Lugh clenched his fingers tightly in his pants, Diana didn't know she was making the same mistake she made with her boyfriend in her previous life.
