The Marquis’ Eldest Son’s Lascivious Story - Chapter 217
Kalmia was highly conscious about her breast.
I danced with her for about 2 songs, but I could only feel her breast pressing against my chest a few times, and I could count the occasion on one hand. It was a half-hearted thing that even the few times that the tip of the chest hit a little bit, she would immediately withdraw.
If you think about it normally, this is the normal degree of closeness. However, for me, who has touched and landed with many Princesses who acted like koalas, this was too unsatisfactory.
However, is it possible for me to launch an aggressive attack against the next head of the Adellahan family, one of the five Great Noble families of the Kingdom? Even with the excuse of force majeure, I didn’t have the guts to charge that far.
It’s regrettable, but it can’t be helped. I don’t care even if they point at me as a cowardly warrior.
In the end, it was a futile dance time when my dick became soft and fluffy when I saw Plume dancing nearby.
[Well then, see you later.]
However, it’s strange that Kalmia didn’t immediately let go of her hand when she’s about to leave. She had a calm expression on her face, but apparently she also had this koala-like side in her.
[Thank you for the wonderful night, Novalf-dono.]
A slightly sweaty Plume was next to me saying goodbye.
Just hearing the lines made me feel like my brain will be shattered into pieces, so I tried not to think about it too much.
After I broke up with Adellahan’s fiancée pair, I probed her. I need to hear what she finds so fun for future reference.
What should I do if someone tells me that my thick, muscular, hard, and strong arms are wonderful? Muscles aside, that kind of physique seems to be unattainable for me at the genetic level.
[I was happy to hear about my father and mother.]
From Plume’s warm smile, I could feel her youth befitting her age. It may be the first time in a long time that I saw her feeling like a child again.
Even so, Novalf, who was studying in the Royal Capital, won’t have trouble talking to other families in this social gathering. He had amassed a mountain of materials in his iron plate.
[Also, he taught me a dance that is popular in the Royal Capital? Like put your feet and hands like this…do this, not…do this?]
At the corner of the aisle, she took my hand and made small steps.
She was grinning, as if to say that this onee-san will teach me. She must have wanted to put her newfound knowledge to the test, judging from her bouncy sounding voice.
[There’s still time. So, how about you teach me while dancing again?]
[Let’s go.]
I wasn’t really interested in the so-called popular dance itself. I just wanted to purify Plume’s body from the touch of another man.
After that, I worked hard on marking activities.
Thanks to that, I was able to fully regain my peace of mind by the time I left her.
==============
There are no clocks on the Eruo continent.
I don’t know the exact reason why they don’t have the technology to create precise mechanical devices, or whether they simply don’t need to keep track of time.
In Newnelly, the sun’s position is observed and bells are struck in accordance. But on rainy days the sound does not resound. Even so, it was the way of life of the people of the Eruo continent that didn’t really bother me.
However, at events where Nobles gather, there are several alternatives to tell the time. At this evening party, the music group that continues to play BGM at the main venue corresponds to that.
Compare the songs currently being played with the playlist posted near the stage. When the performance ends, the evening party also ends. So, anyone who knows the songs well can get a rough idea of time passage.
The melody indicates the time, which is quite a stylish system.
[How long has it been now again?]
My maid had returned from the main venue, so let’s confirm the time.
Prince Dunkel invited me to a small exchange party in the form of [Come around the time this song starts]. It is a timed call that is rare in the Eruo continent.
I was worried about the timing of my visit, probably because I was conscious of time for the first time in a long time. Is it better to go exactly at the designated time, or is it okay to be a little late?
According to the maid, there is still time to spare until the appointed time. However, I decided to head to the meeting place ahead of time. It’s a place I visited during yesterday’s tour of the Royal Castle, so there’s no need to ask the people of the Levios family to guide me.
As the next head of the Quordenze family, it might be fine to be late, but I don’t really feel like it. I’d rather be the first to arrive than to be the last, and if possible, I’d like to be the second or third.
If there’s no one around, I can just take a walk nearby to pass the time.
[Is it ready?]
[It’s all set up. I just checked with the people waiting in the waiting room. The delivery was completed without a hitch.]
After confirming that much, I went outside from the large hall. The small exchange meeting is to be held under this starry sky.
The Royal Palace garden has become a place for eating and drinking with a large number of people. The servants of the Levios family were busy serving alcohol and food.
Occasionally, some Nobles from the Quordenze faction noticed my presence, but if I was caught now, the conversation would take too long, so I only smiled and walked on.
[It seems I’m a little bit early.]
Almost in the center of the garden, a large pavilion has been set up in a slightly elevated place that has been embanked. That is the designated meeting place and the stage of the small exchange meeting.
I looked up and took a peek, but the Levios family’s maids were still setting up the place.
Since it’s a big deal, let’s take a look around at the garden, which looks different from the daytime to me. I switched my mood to a walk.
The venue zone of the garden can be identified by whether or not there is a temporary candlestick. The darkened place is considered outside of the venue.
The temporary candlestick looks like a trident with five points. It was thrust vertically into the ground, and a candle as thick as a human bone was stuck in each of its tips.
Five swaying lights illuminating the beautiful garden from the darkness of the night. There was something mysterious and captivating about the beauty of the unseen landscape.
After walking around as I pleased for a while, I eventually reached an area where there are no temporary candlesticks. Most of the Nobles who enjoy eating and drinking in the garden were gathered near the Royal Palace, so there was no one around here.
From here onwards, the space filled with the color of the night spreads out. This is not part of the party venue, I felt like it was implicitly said.
Before making a U-turn, I took the chance to look up. The stars were shining brightly there.
[Young Master.]
I could hear the voice of the maid who was following me silently. I guess it means that I should go back to the venue.
When I tried to reply to that, the same words were spoken again, this time with a sense of tension.
[Young Master.]
It seems that the maid is better at detecting signs than I am when detection magic is not activated. I turned around and saw someone approaching me.
With the full moon and the fire of the temporary candelabra behind it, it was dim and the other party could not be seen clearly due to the backlight.
I wondered if there are any freelancers who would come to the edge of a venue like this without even activating lighting magic. But first of all, the target is definitely me.
[I don’t know what kind of idiot you are, but did you think I couldn’t fight back if I were unarmed?]
There’s a rule to not bring anything dangerous to the evening party. So, I didn’t bring any weapon or such.
However, as long as they keep their distance, the two of us should be able to deal with them.
[Young Master. That is…]
Without waiting for the maid to finish, the figure trotted closer and made their identity clearer.
Her pure white hair that shines and sways as if it melts in the moonlight is beautiful. And paired with it, the dress dyed in a deeper black than the darkness of the night had a strong attraction that caught the eye of the viewer.
The glittering red and blue colors are out of proportion to her cute and fragile appearance. Her big eyes that make you feel lively are staring back at me.
The figure’s true identity was Orshian Milendorva.
[You…]
I was shocked to find out who the idiot was.
I instinctively put one hand on my hip, but the sword wasn’t there. Oh my god, I’m unarmed.
[Young Master. Please let me.]
The maid didn’t go so far as to say that she would be the decoy. But, it’s clear from the tone of her speech that she meant it.
Orshian Milendorva had already been considered as someone that required utmost caution for the Quordenze family after all.
Orshian slowed down a little and approached as if she was watching our exchange.
[Stay away. I’ll deal with her myself.]
[Young Master, you mustn’t.]
[Go.]
I should have brought an uglier maid, I regretted it so much that I wanted to let out a sigh on the spot.
This maid is a pretty cute girl. I was going to invite her to bed when I felt like it. I don’t want to look ugly here. I want the young lady to bear my child while having the image of a dashing and courageous me.
I took a deep breath quietly and then opened my mouth wide to summon up my courage.
[Who’s there!]
The voice seemed to serve as a restraint, and Orshian suddenly stopped on the spot.
At this distance, I wonder if she’ll launch a magic release like before. My whole body was filled with magic power, and I psyched myself up so that I could fight back at any time.
However, what came back was a stupid girl’s voice.
[Wilk-kun, it’s me, it’s me! It’s Lucia!]
As she waved her hands above her head, she began to trot in.
Hers is certainly not Noble’s behavior. Considering that she’s a former commoner and not to mention came from the Mist Land, it’s unavoidable. But right at the moment, that behavior seemed to be seeping with venom to me.
Somehow, I had a feeling that once we let down our guard, she’ll launch a surprise attack. She looked too stupid to do that though.
Orshian began to approach us again, probably telling us that we had let our guard down a little. I keep my distance by walking backwards so as not to be noticed by the other party.
[You are, Princess Orshian, right? I heard that you won’t be attending tonight’s party, but why are you here?]
Yes, she shouldn’t be coming to the Royal Palace today.
Due to the wave of murderous intent, the other families regardless of their faction were wary of Orshian’s existence. She has been recognized as a dangerous person who suddenly assaults other houses. ……and it is correct, yeah, there is no misunderstanding here.
In any case, Archduke Milendorva must have decided that it would not be good for her to appear on the stage in this situation. A messenger from the Milendorva family came to the Quordenze family this morning to inform us of their absence.
[Hmm? Is it? I only came because I was invited. I heard that there are a lot of delicious dishes here…]
She seemed to have misunderstood the question, so let me rephrase it.
[I mean right here. I’m not talking about the Royal Palace. I’m asking why you followed me. Is it because you have something to do that you came to the edge of the venue like this?]
I felt a chill in my heart that my words were a little tight.
However, Orshian reacted with a startled expression at those words and snapped her hands together.
[Un. I was thinking of apologizing to Wilk. I also asked uncle Milendorva, but I got into a fight because of my misunderstanding.]
[…I have already received an apology from Archduke Milendorva.]
As if denying my words, she shook her head left and right. The hair that swayed softly with exaggerated action was beautiful. It looked like it smelled good.
[My brother always says that if you do something wrong, you have to apologize personally. That’s why I wanted to apologize properly. That’s why I was looking for you.]
After saying that, she snapped her palm-shaped hands together again, interlaced her fingers, and looked up slightly.
[Wilk-kun, I’m sorry.]
Perhaps because she is standing in a position with the moon on her back, she looks like a saint praying. There was definitely a sacred atmosphere there that made me hesitate to even touch her.
No, this girl must be too carefree after causing so many incidents. I wonder if she only thinks of it as a little quarrel. I’ve never forgotten that murderous threat.
[…is it not good? Are you still angry?]
……It’s troublesome to face someone with a cute face that seems to cause memory impairment like hers. I want to forget everything and forgive her already.
Even though her chest is flat and her face is childish now, sometimes I get a glimpse of her beauty that gives me goosebumps, which is frightening.
In a few more years, she’ll become a terrifying beauty who will cause everyone who sees her to have a raging boner. The dick version of Medusa of sorts.
[…..alright. I’ll accept your apology.]
The main thing is the Archduke’s apology, and Orshian’s apology is a bonus.
However, it was troublesome to explain to this girl what Noble’s apology was, and it would be troublesome if she acted strangely, so I decided to just accept it to be safe.
Besides, a child who does something bad, but can apologize properly is a good child. I want Orshian to grow up to be a good child. If her roots rot, I’ll be in danger.
[Really? Will you forgive me?]
I said I would receive the apology, but I didn’t say that I forgave her.
I’m very worried about whether it’s okay to answer yes. It’s fine to refuse because it’s a request that cuts through the pages of negotiations between Nobles, but this girl won’t be able to understand such detailed exchanges.
For the time being, we’re in the middle of an evening party, so I decided that I could make as many rebuttals as I wanted later.
[Really, to talk like this in the middle of an evening party…]
I don’t want it to be a ploy to say that this is outside the venue, so it’s not a remark at an evening party, so just in case, I’ll take out insurance. I am the safety first kind of a guy after all.
[Very well. I’ll forgive the incident the other day… However, I don’t want you to repeat that kind of thing again. And please inform me before coming to visit me in the future.]
[Un!]
[…..I should also mention that I will only be willing to meet you if you receive permission from the Milendorva family. Just telling someone that you’re going doesn’t mean informing them, alright?]
[Is that so?]
That was dangerous. I felt like I dodged a bullet there.
[If you are living in the Milendorva household, there will probably be people around you. If you are thinking of doing something, it is better to confirm a word with those people before moving on.]
As I was saying this, I realized that Orshian was alone. There was no servant accompanying her.
When I asked her why she was acting alone, it seemed that when she said she wanted to apologize to me, the people around her objected, and she thought that this would not clear things out, so she slipped away. I was rather relieved by the action that was too predictable.
[It may be important to try to do what you think is right, but you are too impulsive. If you don’t look around before acting, you often won’t get the result you want.]
I don’t need to preach like this, but I can’t help but say what I think. Perhaps it’s because she’s such a commoner at heart that my senses are drawn towards her. I am also a small citizen at heart.
[Ahaha… My brother often said the same thing.]
[If the idea of wanting to apologize comes from your brother’s words, then you should listen to him and start to take a good look around.]
[Uhh~!]
Perhaps understanding that there was no room for objection, Orshian was only groaning and stepping on the ground. From her point of view, it might be just a little mischief, but this one is pretty scary. I don’t want to fight any more threats.
[…I would like to ask one thing, but does that brother of yours have strong magic powers like Princess Orshian?]
[Not at all. Brother is a normal person.]
At least she understands that she’s not normal.
[I see. …..he must be a good brother to be able to admonish such a little sister. Is he staying at Milendorva’s mansion?]
This older brother has such big balls to be able to admonish such a terrifying little sister. I honestly respect him, whoever he is.
Orshian nodded obediently, perhaps because she’s happy that her brother got praised.
I was just casually asking, but this is a big harvest. In the future, if there is a conflict with Orshian, I will attack Milendorva’s mansion and take her brother as hostage.
[Even so, why hasn’t the attendant come to pick her up?]
Different from normal conversation between Nobles, it’s tiring to chat while maintaining the tension that may literally cost your life. There are many things I want to ask, but I don’t know where the mines are buried, so I can’t move forward because I’m worried about where to start.
I wonder if the Nobles who talk to me might have experienced this feeling. Thinking about it makes me feel a little sorry.
Judging from her behavior so far, I don’t think she will get angry and attack me even if I play around a little. But, that’s just the theory I had in my head. My body reacted unwillingly to the super-powerful magic that existed in front of me, and my heart rate had been skyrocketing since a while ago.
It was very difficult to maintain the calm and cool Wilk Quordenze mask.
I prayed that the servants of the Milendorva family, who are looking after Orshian, would soon come and pick her up, but there was no sign of them coming.
Then, I suddenly realized something.
[Come to think of it, you often noticed where I am. But, I didn’t notice that you were there…]
The venue for the evening party was pretty large, so there’s a chance that we didn’t even come across each other.
I was observing the surroundings thoroughly by checking beautiful ladies, so if there was a Barriora-class beauty such as Orshian, I should have immediately noticed it and ran away.
[Since I learned the feel of Wilk-kun’s magical power the other day, I guess I became able to distinguish it even from a distance. That’s why I was able to find you.]
[Are you alright with activating detection magic in a place where there are many Nobles like this?]
[Everyone said that it’ll make me sick, but I’m fine. Look.]
I could feel Orshian’s body flickering with magic. She must be activating detection magic.
As I felt the other day, this is a slightly different way of sensing magic than the detection magic that I usually use.
[Is it a technique handed down from the Milendorva family?]
[No. I’ve been using it for a long time.]
[Are you saying that you made it yourself?]
[It’s not like I invented it. When I realized, I was already able to use it.]
She added that she was not specifically taught magic by House Milendorva. On the contrary, when she was living in the Mist Land, there was not a single person around her who could use magic.
It is said that some of the magic, including physical strengthening magic, was all made by herself. As for detection magic, it was inspired by revenge against Eve and the others. She’s the type of person who awakens to new powers through anger and does things like the main characters in shounen manga.
Orshian was a commoner hailing from the Mist Land. Suffice to say, she had almost no education related to magic.
She’s just wielding her enormous magical power for granted. To her, it’s as natural as humans breathing and moving their hands.
[Not only body enhancement magic, but also detection magic is self-developed…]
Magic is said to be created by strong human desires and instincts.
For example, even if you are a blessed child, you can learn physical strengthening magic without being taught by anyone. Because it’s natural to put effort into your body, and it’s also natural to use magic to do it. “I feel like I can do it somehow” is an important factor.
By the way, the physical strengthening magic that is achieved from this is unique to that individual, and is different from the physical strengthening magic used by other humans. “Magic that strengthens physical abilities” is simply called physical strengthening magic, and there is no standardized magic with that name in this world.
Therefore, there are types of physical strengthening magic that evenly strengthen the entire body, while there are also types that only strengthen certain aspects of physical strength.
It seems that Viscount Galiana also developed physical strengthening magic on his own, but I heard that only his leg strength was abnormally strengthened. It is an effect that reminds me of the hardships of the commoner era.
There are various forms of reinforcement for each individual. And by bringing these magics together and mastering them, it is possible to find commonalities, understand the differences, and create new physical strengthening magic that takes the best of the best.
The physical strengthening magic used by Nobles is advanced physical strengthening magic that has been handed down and improved over generations.
Because it has been refined, there is nothing that can be said to be your own, but it is a magic that has few peculiarities, is efficient, and has a great effect.
Thinking about the rumors that Orshian’s elite guards, the Luotad soldiers, are captivated by her physical strengthening magic, it is possible to guess various things.
The magic she wields is uniquely developed, and should be a very peculiar magic that strongly expresses her personal color. People who are in tune with it will be more likely to be affected.
[Amazing, isn’t it?]
[…..yeah, amazing. I can clearly feel the wisdom.]
Legend has it that Zeth, the founder and progenitor of the Zeth religion, wielded countless types of magic. In addition to being educated in magic by the people of the Manipulators, it is said that traveling across the continent helped him master the magic unique to each region. But, there is actually a legend here.
The wisdom of Zeth. It is said that he was a genius who created most of his magic by himself.
I heard from Cynthia that Zeth was once attacked by a mature demon beast in a village he visited during his travels. Standing up to protect the village, he decided that fighting on the spot would cause more damage. It is said that he improvised a magic technique to guide the monsters away.
Cynthia added that when looking into the Holy Army’s record of subjugating monsters, there were descriptions that indicated that the magic was used for some time after Zeth’s passing. Since that magic hasn’t been passed down to the current era, I thought it was a delicate story whether I could trust it or not.
It is generally said that people with more mana tend to have a better sense of magic.
In fact, there are very few cases where a Lord-class came up with a completely new magic that had never existed before. Most of the magic was developed by the Highlords.
Considering Orshian’s talent, I don’t think it’s a false theory. The girl in front of me has not only mastered simple magic such as body enhancement, but also complex magic such as detection magic. It was also in an environment where there were no people capable of using magic around her.
I’ve come to feel that the legend of Zeth’s wisdom cannot be easily dismissed as a bogus story for the purpose of praising their founder.
As for myself, I’m good at combining known magic to create new magic and improve it, but I’ve never succeeded in creating a completely new magic.
I feel like this is more of a personality or temperament issue rather than the amount of magic power.
But aside from that, one fact came to light.
[I guess that means nobody is coming to pick you up.]
Orshian found me because of her unique detection magic.
The detection magic handed down in the Milendorva family is probably the same as the one I know, the type that detects indiscriminately and makes you feel sick when there are many. In other words, if you lose sight of Orshian in the Royal Capital, you have to be prepared to vomit to find her.
I’m sure the Milendorva family’s servants in charge of Orshian are looking for her with teary eyes by now. Oh, poor them.
[I don’t need anyone to pick me up. Why are you here, Wilk? Let’s get back to the bright place together.]
[…..]
That won’t do.
It’s not very desirable for me to go out in public with Orshian leading the way.
However, even as we were facing each other like we are now, there is no doubt that my heart rate would stop if they were lined up side by side. If it is too high, it may overflow and become 0.
I knew in my head that she’s not a barbarian girl who would suddenly punch me from the side. But, my body just won’t acclimate to that notion quickly.
That’s why I expected Orshian to return to the venue first. If I told her to go on her own, she would most likely say, [You should go with me, too]. What to do then?
Moreover, if I don’t go meet Prince Dunkel now, I might end up being late.
…..uh, is it the only way?
[Although there is light, the road is dark at night. I will guide you.]
I put a smile on my face, paying full attention not to make my face tense. Then, resolutely taking a few steps forward, I reached out and grabbed her hand, right on her bare fingertips.
Securing the magic power line, Yosh!
[Eh.]
[Come on, let’s go.]
Orshian tried to pull away, but I wouldn’t let her. I grabbed her hand as hard as I could and pulled her back.
[Wilk-kun, no. Let go of my hand. So inappropriate.]
No matter what she says, I would never let go of her hand. Besides, I’m naughty, I’m not going to make lame excuses now.
I can understand by touching her directly. This girl’s magic power is abnormal.
On the surface, her magical power is not much different from mine, but in terms of depth or concentration, it’s far stronger than mine. I felt an absolute wall between the Highlords and the Progenitor.
I won’t let go of her hand. More like, I couldn’t.
[It can be dangerous with how dark it is, you know?]
[Saying that while holding hands? Waa, Wilk-kun is quite lascivious.]
I could tell that she’s a girl who hasn’t really accustomed herself to being a Noble. Even if I had feelings for Orshian, if I summoned what little courage I had and shook her hand and this was the reaction, it might be a straight path to impotence.
It’s something that a normal female Noble would gently avoid. If you refuse to cut it off head-on, you may receive protests for lack of consideration.
I’m scared of Orshian moving her arms up and down and left and right to try to shake off my hand. Only this security is something to let go, or we can’t care about it.
[Holding hands is nothing lewd or lascivious, you big dumdum. I often hold hands with my little sister, and if you have an older brother, you must have at least held hands with him.]
[But you’re not my brother, Wilk-kun. Besides, you’re not a kid anymore, so I can’t hold your hand freely. Wilk-kun’s sister is still a little girl, right?]
Their ages may be the same, but Fanny’s breasts are bigger.
[I think you are mature enough as a girl who suddenly assaults someone’s house.]
[You said you forgiven me earlier!]
For a while she was making a lot of noise, but she seemed to understand that I had no intention of letting go of her hand. Finally, she agreed to walk side by side while holding hands.
I calmed myself down and asked calmly.
[Is there anyone from the Milendorva family nearby? I’ll take you there.]
I said so, but I have no intention of taking her.
It would be troublesome if people thought I was escorting Orshian, so I just checked to see if there was anyone like that nearby.
For a moment, I felt magic power swaying through my fingers.
It’s clear that she activated detection magic upon receiving my question, but I felt a chill as if cold water had been poured on my heart. The sensation of the enormous magic hidden inside this body wriggling is a threat that cannot be expressed in words.
[I don’t think there is anyone nearby.]
[I see. Well then, I’m sorry, but I have something to do after this. Let’s separate around here.]
By returning to some extent, the number of Nobles had increased here and there.
I turned around while still holding Orshian’s hand and briefly said goodbye.
[Well then, Princess Orshian, if we have the chance, let’s meet again.]
[Ah, yes.]
Then, she showed an angelic smile.
[Wilk-kun, you know, it was a little fun. Nobles always say difficult things, but Wilk-kun is easy to talk to. I hope we can talk casually like before again.]
Her speaking might be all over the place sometimes, but it seemed that Orshian was genuinely happy that I was being friendly there.
Her smile was dazzling. She’s probably the prime example of a barbarian with the face of an angel.
[Yes. Well then…]
I let go of her hand with the intention of jumping off the Clear Water venue and spread my arm out. It’s a gesture that indicates which direction to walk.
I waited for her to leave. I didn’t want to turn my back to her.
However, Orshian just gave me a strange look when I didn’t leave. When I sent a smile mixed with the feeling of wanting her to go away soon, for some reason I got a smile back instead. I’m not staring at you.
[Orshian-sama!]
A woman’s voice broke the silence. When I glanced at her, there was a single maid who was scurrying towards me.
[Ah. She found me… Bye-bye.]
Orshian, who showed me an expression akin to a child caught playing pranks, fluttered her hand slightly and turned her back on me before walking away.
Farewell, Orshian. May I never see you again.
