chapter 174
174. I was eaten…
“Sigh… slurp… .”
The scent of enchanting, soft flesh. The hot breath on your skin. The soft touch of your hand. The sticky, moist tongue in your mouth.
‘No way, again…?’
An alarm went off in my head, waking up my survival instinct. I quickly opened my eyes to find Frances hugging me tightly and kissing me all over my body, including my mouth.
“Are you awake…?”
“… I did get up though.”
“Choosh… … .”
Frances, who was caressing my chest with her hands and showering me with kisses without giving me time to come to my senses. When will this Duke’s s*xual desire end?
As I lowered my gaze to Frances’s passionate kiss full of love, her neck, collarbone, and chest were covered in red bruises.
“…Has the night passed?”
“Choo-up, right…?”
“Then shouldn’t I get up now?”
“Haa, I wanted to hug you longer… … .”
At my words, Frances stopped kissing me, sighed, and pouty lips.
How much time has passed? I don’t remember anything after she climbed on top of me, I was so out of it.
“We did it yesterday morning, right?”
“Yeah.”
“So what time is it now?”
Frances buried her face in my chest and rubbed her cheek against mine.
“It’s dawn… 5 a.m.”
“… How long has it been since you fell asleep?”
“Uh… 2 hours…?”
I couldn’t even sleep properly after doing that. There must have been a reason I felt dizzy earlier.
“It’s been a whole day… .”
“Ugh… .”
“Aren’t you tired?”
“I’m sleepy…….”
It can’t be helped. I’m so tired right now that my eyes are stinging.
“Anyway, I have to wash up now, so let’s get up.”
The moment I said that and got up.
“…?”
All the strength left my body and I fell back onto the bed.
“… Sorry, my back hurt so much I couldn’t get up at all, so I had to absorb some of the strength… … .”
Frances smiled awkwardly, avoided eye contact, and twirled her hair with her fingers. This Duke… … .
“I’m really sorry, I couldn’t help it… I have to go to the capital today, and I can’t hold onto your waist and walk around… … .”
That’s true. I did think that if I had just done it moderately from the beginning, this wouldn’t have happened, but I didn’t say it out loud.
I too was consumed by pleasure and fell into ecstasy… … .
“I’ll be back later to pick you up since it’ll take a while to get ready. Go to sleep.”
Frances got out of bed, showered me with kisses for another ten minutes, and then went into the bathroom.
The blind love you have for me has become stickier and deeper than before, to the point of being embarrassing.
Will every night be like this? The thought sent shivers down my spine, but… … .
‘… I like it too.’
Maybe it was because I was used to it, but I also secretly liked the feeling of being monopolized and accepting her demands─
for a moment.
“… Could it be that I was being trained?”
No way… … .
* * *
I’ve gotten some more sleep, and I’m now able to move my body. I still feel lethargic and weak, though.
“Jin? I’m here.”
“You came.”
Frances in a dress that covers her neck. Looks like she’s ready.
“I’ll take it out now.”
Clank. The prison door opened. I was finally getting out of here. I struggled to get up and walk out.
“Are you tired? Do you want to hold my hand?”
“yes.”
I shook hands with Frances. She looked at me with her hands clasped together as if something wasn’t enough, then smiled bashfully.
“It’s like a dream.”
“What are you talking about?”
Frances smiled as I tilted my head.
“It feels like only yesterday that you left, but now that we’re together like this.”
And then, Frances continued speaking.
“Because I knew you loved me to death.”
Frances lifted her heel and kissed my cheek. She had been showering me with love since a while ago.
“Shall we go up?”
“…yes.”
Holding hands with her, I climbed the stairs studded with glowing blue magic stones.
“… … .”
I glanced over and saw that this place was created from the beginning to imprison me.
I also know that those magic stones are not simply lamps, but are devices to weaken my power.
‘You’ve prepared meticulously.’
If they found me, they would have tried to lock me up somehow. So that I wouldn’t escape again.
“They all came.”
I was led up the stairs by Frances’ hand. When the cellar door opened, I could finally see light. Not artificial light made of lamps or magic stones, but real light.
“under.”
What is this that makes me so touched?
The past two thousand years were simply engraved in my memory and had no great influence on my mind… … .
It was really painful to be locked up alone, staring at the ceiling with nothing to do.
It may seem like a simple thing to say, but you’ll understand once you try it.
“I’m ready, so I’ll wait while I have some tea. I’ve already told the servants what you need, so go to the third room on the left hallway on the second floor.”
Frances said this and leaned forward, kissing me again and our tongues mingled.
“Um… … .”
You really like kissing.
“I love you, take care.”
“me too.”
After parting ways with her, I walked towards the room Frances had mentioned and came across a familiar face I hadn’t seen in a long time.
“Did you escape?”
“Brother Jin…?”
“Mr. Jin, how did you get out?”
Now that I think about it, these guys were in the same group too.
“The Duke himself took it out for me.”
“aha.”
“I see.”
Kazar and Kale slowly nodded their heads in agreement. Ladea blinked repeatedly and watched me closely.
“You must have had a hard time… … .”
“what?”
“Your condition is not very good.”
Ladea searched through her bosom and took out a small mirror. She carries that around with her.
“Take a look.”
“… … .”
I didn’t realize it when I was washing, but the image I saw in the mercury-tinted mirror was not a human face.
Sunken cheeks. Shadows under the eyes that extend down to the cheekbones. The complexion is also incredibly dark. The eyes are so cloudy that it’s hard to believe that the life force is fading away.
“You see? I told you I thought you had the wrong person.”
“You must have had a hard time.”
“What the hell happened in the basement?”
It’s a bit strange to say that it was because I was forced to have s*x with Frances, who exploded with s*xual desire because of her first experience. What should I do about this?
“The golden eyes that used to shine are now dark. It was a charm that only Jin Oppa had… … .”
Why are you feeling sorry?
“Didn’t you get injured in the battle with the Transcendent Wizard?”
As Kale spoke speculatively, Kazar nodded.
“It’s not impossible. Let’s take a look. Since we have Dahlia, we should be able to treat it quickly.”
How do I get out of this?
“I’m just tired. It’ll be fine in a few days.”
He shrugged his shoulders and said it was nothing… … .
“Isn’t it just that I’m tired?”
“I feel like I might collapse at any moment.”
“You really need to get a checkup.”
Their worries were constant.
“And oppa, my legs are shaking now too.”
“What? Your legs?”
I looked down and checked my legs. They were really shaking.
“I was wondering what was going on when you came up unsteadily. I think it would be best to go see Dahlia.”
Ladea came to me and took my hand.
“I have to go get ready. You guys know that, right? It’s the liberation ceremony, the day we go to the zodiac.”
At those words, Ladea became even more excited.
“Then, shouldn’t Jin-oppa stand before His Majesty? What are you doing in this condition…! Let’s go meet Miss Dahlia quickly!”
Dahlia’s room, which she had been led to by force. It was the only room left in the duke’s residence, so it was being used as her examination room.
As soon as I entered, Dahlia opened her eyes shallowly and asked me.
“… Have you escaped by any chance?”
You say that too.
“The Duke released me.”
“Oh, I guess so… … .”
Dahlia suddenly blushes and avoids eye contact.
“Miss Dahlia, Jin Oppa is not in good condition. I’ve never seen him like this before, but he must have been injured while fighting the Transcendent Wizard.”
Ladea, who arrived late, spoke in an appealing tone. My face is quite haggard, isn’t it?
“I’ll take care of it, so please don’t worry and wait outside.”
When Dahlia smiled and spoke softly, everyone nodded and walked away. There was no resistance, as no one surpassed her in treatment.
Suddenly, everyone left and the door closed. Dahlia asked.
“… How much did you do yesterday?”
As expected, you noticed.
“All day long.”
“…yes?”
“I did it from yesterday morning until this morning.”
“… … .”
“To be exact, I was hit… … .”
Dahlia froze with her mouth open, as if she was in shock.
“I heard you were preparing an extremely strong potion before, is that it…? But is that possible…?”
Dahlia muttered with a confused face. You wouldn’t believe it.
“It does have a mild effect, but it seems that the Duke has a strong s*xual desire. The more you do it, the stronger it becomes.”
For me and Frances, it was a time of repeated fainting and climax. It was truly a time of arousal.
“Hmm, maybe it was because of your influence belonging to the Duke.”
Certainly, Dahlia has a point.
“There are still many parts I don’t understand, but for now, I get it.”
Dahlia didn’t dig any further, perhaps because she thought it would be rude to ask more about the relationship.
“By the way, can I ask you something?”
“Yes, go ahead.”
“… How did you not know?”
“What is it?”
Should I say this directly?
“… My business and that of the Duke.”
Dahlia smiled faintly and said, “Ah,” then pointed her finger at my neck.
“It’s strange that you don’t know that there are red bruises all over your neck. I guess they didn’t notice because they were focused on your haggard face.”
That was it.
Frances loved kissing so much that she was molested all over her body. I just had to give in to her body… … .
“I see.”
Dahlia chuckled.
“Anyway, now that I think you understand, I’ll begin the examination. Could you please take off your top?”
When he took off his shirt, Dahlia opened her mouth again and was at a loss for words.
“No, it’s worse here…?”
A dazed face. He must be genuinely embarrassed.
“Ahem, let’s begin.”
“Ah, yes… … .”
Dahlia shook her head and placed her hand on my chest, sending golden magic through me. A warm and kind aura.
“Hmm.”
“How is it?”
“It’s not an area that can be treated.”
What are you talking about? Dahlia continued as I tilted my head.
“The only things that can be cured with divine magic are diseases or wounds that threaten life. But you just… … ”
Then, he looked away embarrassed and muttered quietly.
“It’s because I pulled out too many of my energy… … .”
Oh, so you’re saying you’re left with nothing after being seduced by Frances?
“In cases like this, there’s no choice but to rest. Those… embarrassing marks too, they’ll just disappear with time.”
The examination was over, so I buttoned up my shirt again.
“I will explain it to you, Your Highness. If you do it too much, it could harm your body… … .”
I appreciate your concern, but is it really necessary?
“It’s okay. Your strength will return with time anyway.”
“Even for a transcendent being, the spirit is a different story, so it must be very difficult, right?”
“It doesn’t matter. If there’s a problem, we’ll solve it then.”
After hearing the answer, Dahlia looked at me with suspicion.
“Actually, you’re enjoying it too, right?”
“What?”
“…no.”
I got up from my seat after buttoning up my shirt.
“I’ll say it again, your vitality is really important, so you need to recover well. Even if you’re a transcendent being, vitality is a different story!”
I answered her concerns appropriately and waved my hand as I left.
Now it’s time to get ready.
I entered the third room on the left hallway on the second floor. Inside, many servants, including Helena, were waiting.
“You’re here.”
“Long time no see, Helena.”
“…Your complexion doesn’t look good?”
“are you okay.”
“Are you okay…?”
Helena’s eyes are full of worry. Is it really that bad? I wonder if this is suitable for the Barenberg Liberation Ceremony.
“…Please sit down first. I have to prepare everything from your hair to your outfit.”
I nodded and sat down in front of the mirror. Then the maids in charge of clothing naturally unbuttoned my shirt… … .
“oh…….”
“Oh my… … .”
“ah…?”
“omg…!”
Everyone except me covered their mouths as they looked at my body covered in France’s kiss marks.
