I couldn’t help but stutter.
My hand was currently sandwiched between two soft buns, enjoying a heavenly sensation. However, I quickly turned to glance behind me where Princess Hazel was, and, although reluctant, I tried to pull my hand away.
“Pardon me, Queen Thalia, but I think it’s inappropriate to do this in front of a child.”
But if you want to continue, we can take it somewhere more “private.” Of course, I didn’t say that out loud. I still had my reputation to uphold in front of the young princess, after all. However, Queen Thalia didn’t let me go, holding my hand tighter.
“You’re concerned about those?”
Queen Thalia smiled seductively, squeezing her bountiful mountains tighter as my hand got smushed in between.
“Don’t worry about that. Rather, would you want to have a taste of my daughter before you get engaged? If it’s right now, then I can even help her out, you know?”
*Gulp!*
I was tempted for a moment. No, I was tempted to do it, even knowing about the consequences. However…
“No matter how adult-like her body is, I’m afraid my story would get banned if I touched a minor, so pass.”
“Story? Banned?”
Queen Thalia tilted her head, unable to understand the metaphor I used. Well, there’s no such thing as book publishing here, after all. No fantasy books or anything. Here, books are mostly records of the past.
“Well… I don’t get what you mean, but if you want, shall the two of us go somewhere more private to continue our discussion?”
The way she looked at my face with upturned eyes made my heart skip a beat. Well, if it’s somewhere with only the two of us, it should be fine… right? This is just my job—maintaining positive diplomatic relations with the other country!
“Master…” 𝘪.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Just as I was about to agree, I heard a disgruntled voice from behind. I felt goosebumps run across my back as if a knife were currently held against me, threatening to pierce me at any moment.
“E-Ember!”
When I turned around, as I suspected, Ember was present. However, she wasn’t alone. Fang, Igni, and even Fatima were together with her. All four of them had narrowed eyes, staring at my hand, which was in a precarious place.
“…”
The girls were silent, but their gazes were piercing right through my back. Without saying anything, the four of them stepped forward, pulled my hand away from heaven, and dragged me away from Queen Thalia.
“Uhm… girls? I’m sure you’re just misunderstanding the situation.”
I tried to plead my innocence, but it was as if they hadn’t even heard my voice. As they dragged me far enough, Ember opened up another portal and entered along with the rest. I wasn’t sure where they were taking me until I saw the familiar ceiling and curtains in the room. It was my bedroom in the Debauchery Hall.
“Master, even for you, touching the monarch of another kingdom is too careless!”
As soon as the portal closed behind us, Ember began to lecture me with a cute pout.
“If news about that spread through some sources, then our position in the coming alliance might’ve been in jeopardy.”
Fatima added, crossing her arms before her chest as if trying to emphasize her large assets even more.
“Leader, those are forbidden fruits! You shouldn’t touch them! I-
If you really want to touch some, then how about m-mine…?”
When even Fang began lecturing me, I realized just how severe my earlier action was. Well, rather than mine, it was more like Queen Thalia trying to take the lead in the situation. The result if we continue is the same no matter who started it, so I admit my carelessness.
“Alright, alright. It’s my fault, and I wouldn’t do it again. But if you’re just going to scold me, then why take me back to the Seimei in the first place? There’s still a lot of things we need to do.”
At that moment, Igni stepped forward and pushed me hard. I got off balance and fell, hitting my back against the soft bed. As I landed, Igni then leaned forward, her hands supporting her body right above mine, as we stared into each other’s eyes.
“My Lord, are we not enough for you to even reach your hand to a married woman?”
Her eyes flickered with a mix of worry and sadness, making my heart ache.
I wasn’t able to be with Ember and the others for long due to how busy I was most of the time. If I could, even I wanted to spend time idly, cradling everyone in my arms while staring blankly toward the horizon, enjoying our quality time together.
I guess since they saw me doing “that” with Queen Thalia, their insecurities got triggered, leading to the current situation.
“… Sorry, Igni. It really isn’t like that, though it’ll just sound like an excuse now.”
I apologized, caressing her cheeks, which were burning hot for a reason. I suddenly felt chills, which caused me to turn to the other three, but they were nowhere to be seen.
“…!”
S-Someone just grabbed my thigh—both thighs! I can’t see who it is since Igni’s blocking my view, though!
Since I couldn’t see them, my imagination started running wild, causing a certain buddy of mine to wake up. The two hands started to move, caressing my thigh and heading higher slowly, letting me feel the warmth of their palms to the fullest.
“Master… can we…?”
“Will…”
Judging from the voice, it seemed like Ember and Fatima were the ones on my legs. Igni’s eyes started to turn feverish as her face came closer, planting a short kiss on my lips.
“My Lord, I…”
As if unable to hold back any longer, Igni went in for a longer kiss. It was hot; that was the only comment I could give. It wasn’t to the point that I would need a fire-resistance potion, but Igni’s tongue was as hot as freshly cooked rice.
I wasn’t sure how long our lips were stuck together, but when she let go, another face appeared upside down. It was Fang with a demure smile not often seen on her face.
“… Then, it’s my turn now, Leader.”
As if exchanging places with Igni, Fang proceeded to kiss me too. Since her head was upside down, it was a little different from what I was used to, but it was sweet all the same. My mind was slowly turning muddled as I began to lose air.
When I returned to my senses, four cute girls were staring at my face up close. Igni to my left, Fatima around my left thigh, Ember opposite her, and Fang, who moved to my right. All four of them had faces that looked like they were begging for something.
“…”
Even though we should be busy… Even though we haven’t completed helping Cleaver Kingdom yet… I let my desires run wild.
