Chapter 30
6. The gate didn’t open in the first month of marriage – 05
This is nothing new since I’ve already mentioned it several times, but before I fell into this world, I had no connection with the opposite s*x.
Just as the insiders bet all their lives on the place where they hang out with women, I also put my life into 「Erantia Saga」, So there are no regrets, but even so, I feel sad about my life from time to time. It was just something that was unavoidable.
Unlike novels or cartoons, most women in real life are not very interested in games. This is especially true for hipsters with Hongdae disease or RPG games they enjoy.
‘In the first place, there is no reason why a beautiful girl suffering from aphasia or the only daughter of a conglomerate company would enjoy playing games.’
I have witnessed net camas claiming to be women and trying to devour mesos in the Henesys free market in military units, but if you ask me if I have ever met a real woman… Well, I’m not sure either.
In any case, there has never been a single time in my life when I have been officially involved with a woman. Of course, I want to make it clear that my mother is an exception to that. Being immune to the other person’s Em-chang wasn’t all that pleasant.
I had no obsessive childhood friend who only looked at me for 10 years after we promised to get married in kindergarten, and there was no fiancee who was made by the promise between my parents when I was young. After renting a rental girlfriend, introducing her as my girlfriend in front of others, of course, there was nothing worth mentioning.
To conclude, it would mean that I had no connection with the opposite s*x until now, and that I was going to continue to maintain that situation in the future, unless there were any other incidents.
By the way, by the way. Would it be easy for me to believe if I told you that there is one woman who, in my opinion, naturally induces admonitions such as ‘Oh, I don’t think this is a bit much’?
‘No matter how much I think about it, this doesn’t seem like something.’
I looked at the Grand Duchess, who was holding my hand tightly with a puzzled expression on her face. When viewed objectively, the current state of the Grand Duchess was something that could never be said to be normal.
Paddle waves.
The Grand Duchess’s hand, which is currently holding my hand, was trembling at intervals of one second, just like that of an old cultivator, and her Grand Duchess’s face looked as if steam would leak out at any moment, as if she had used Gear 2. Felt To the point where her heart was beating so fast that I, who was holding her hand with her right now, were very excited about her.
“… Well, I don’t think you need to practice holding my hand that hard.”
From noble mtl dot com
“No! Still ok! Not yet!”
It doesn’t look good at all to me. Finally, I sighed softly at her and pulled her hand away from her grip. No, to be precise, I tried to subtract it.
“… ?”
But no matter how hard I try, I don’t think my hands will come off. It was to the point where I doubted that the Grand Duchess’ hand might have been pierced with air holes, and that she was sucking my hand into an intense feast.
“… Don’t withdraw your hand, not yet. At least until I allow it. Never.”
The Grand Duchess looks at me with cold eyes, wondering where she was ashamed just now.
“… Yes.”
I quickly swallowed her jaw at her subtle life leaking out of her.
I did not forget that just as Yurika and I had a perfect “Higher and lower relationship”, A “Higher and lower relationship” Was clearly established between the Grand Duchess and me.
It would be a much wiser choice to endure the hassle for a short time than to add a useless word here and end up on her side.
“…..”
As I held her hand with her mouth shut like that, I suddenly felt many things about her that I hadn’t been aware of until just now.
For example, how petite the physique of the grand duchess holding her hand is compared to mine, how soft her hand is holding her hand, and… Compared to my hand, how small and warm her hand is.
As the Grand Duchess said, as we held hands without saying a word, the Grand Duchess became a little more familiar and began to feel closer.
Anyway, it seems that the lesson 1 or something that the Grand Duchess was talking about just now wasn’t a very ineffective bullsh*t.
“Princess, you said that this training where the two of us hold hands is Lesson 1. If so, what stage does that gnome’s training go to?”
“Until Lesson 5.”
Lesson 5 is… I just hope that in order to go to that stage, the situation where I pay my respects to the Grand Duchess will not come.
“But we can’t even do lesson 1 properly. At this rate, it will be difficult for them to get used to each other until the Marquis arrives.”
“That… Honestly, this is unavoidable. Force majeure. Because I’ve never been close to a man other than my father, and I’m not used to it.”
The grand princess pouting her own lips and saying that. But as I listened to her words, I tilted my head at her.
“What is that… As far as I know, I remember that the escort knight that Karin usually accompanies was also a man. Then, isn’t that statement a little contradictory?”
At my question, the Grand Duchess looked at me with a bewildered expression.
“Kian is my escort knight before deciding whether he is a man or a woman. And there is nothing as meaningless as asking an escort knight about his gender. Reiner, was he the kind of person who judged the gender of a sword he carried?”
“…..”
Personally, I don’t think that’s necessarily the case. We shouldn’t let go of hope that there might exist something like an Ego Sword in this world where the personality of a beautiful girl is sealed.
“You managed to marry me while being so shy.”
“After all, it was a contract marriage. Since it was a marriage with mutual goals, I thought there was no room for personal feelings to intervene.”
I didn’t expect that I would be swayed by my emotions this much, but she muttered in an incomprehensible voice.
“And I am the only princess in the Principality of Yohrha. As a master born in a higher position than anyone else, she is the one who is obliged to lead the people. As much as she is, the happiness she can enjoy as a woman is… She just thought it was something out of my reach.”
“… But, but. Recently, I started thinking about this. I’ve already given up on myself as a woman for a long time, but I thought it wouldn’t be okay for me to be a little greedy.”
Above all, there are too many obstacles around you that you care about, the Grand Duchess adds a strange comment.
“As I said before, I am new to everything. Sitting side by side in the same space as the men, talking like this while facing each other, holding each other’s hands, all of this was the first time today. All.”
“…..”
“Right now, I feel ashamed of everything. Even at this moment, I still feel ashamed. So, so… “
“… So, please don’t embarrass me any more than this. Liner.”
The figure of the Grand Duchess with her head bowed down with her whole body twisted around her as if she was really ashamed of herself… To be honest, it was a little cute. No, it was very cute. And as much as she was incredibly cute, her destructive power also contained tremendous power.
‘This is a real foul.’
I can’t quite understand why this operation, which began with the intention to increase the misunderstanding of the empire about the principality by disturbing the judgment of the Marquis of Illivatus, who comes to us as an envoy of the empire, came to this result.
To be honest, regardless of all the circumstances, I felt like an asshole when I saw a princess as beautiful as a princess bowing her head in front of me with her face dyed red. Actually, the fact that I am an asshole is an undeniable fact itself.
Hold down.
The moment I grasped the situation in various ways, I suddenly realized that the Grand Duchess and I were alone in this large room.
After realizing that fact, I also realized that the atmosphere in this room had mysteriously changed for some reason.
What should I say? The air is not very different from before, but at the same time, should I say it is a strange atmosphere that seems to force me to do something.
And then I realized. The fact that this moment had come to a situation where he had to lead the Grand Duchess like a man.
Sure.
As I reach out to her Grand Duchess and caress her chin, she flinches. But even so, the Grand Duchess didn’t reject my hand and just held her own two hands tightly.
To be honest… The appearance of such a grand princess reminded me of her baby bird, so I felt very cute.
Feeling some unknown elation, I grabbed the chin of the grand duchess, lifted her face up just a little bit, and quietly kissed her on the lips.
“…!”
In an instant, the body of the Grand Duchess jolted wildly, perhaps completely unexpectedly. However, it was not a movement to escape from my arms, but rather a struggle caused by surprise, and it soon faded away.
“…..”
The Grand Duchess’s lips were very warm and sweet, and for some reason it seemed to have a faint fruity scent. For the first time in my life, kissing someone else was truly thrilling and ecstatic.
The kiss was short if it was that short, and long if it was long, but the room was still filled with a romantic atmosphere. The Grand Duchess was also looking at me with excited eyes.
‘Then can you complete all lessons 1 through 5 today?’
My heart is pounding. Lesson 5, They say that the shortest way is the farthest way back.
The kiss I had just had with the Grand Duchess was pleasant, but at the same time it was nothing more than a kiss from her. What is it, beyond these kiddy kisses, at least exchanging tongues between each other, so that we can go around bragging about kissing somewhere.
“…Whoa, this is what kissing is all about. I didn’t know. It seems that the mere act of kissing can calm your mind this much.”
Contrary to my expectations, however, after kissing me, the Grand Duchess made a really comfortable expression as if she had benefited from something, and soon after, she jumped up from her seat. It was a gesture like telling her to go away now that my business is over, so I involuntarily opened her mouth to her in a panicked voice.
“…Uh, over there? Karin?”
“Yes. Why is that, Reiner?”
“Is this the end? Is this really the end?”
“…? Then this is the end. Is there anything else left?”
Meanwhile, the grand princess looks at me with a bewildered expression, as if she can’t understand me. And as I looked at her like that, I got the feeling that she was not communicating with each other.
No matter how you think about it, something is strange. It was because I didn’t quite understand the fact that the Grand Duchess, who had been responding to her kiss just before, would shake off all her evil desires like a man who had suddenly become a great sage.
I feel uncomfortable. It seemed that the two of us were at odds with each other at some crucial point.
“…Well, Karin. If you won’t be rude, can I ask Karin something?”
“Yes, I’m fine. But what do you want to ask?”
The Grand Duchess still doesn’t know how fast others are and looks at me with a really bright expression. And when I saw such a grand princess, I somehow felt her stomach churn.
Because she seems like a woman who has no sense of responsibility. If you decide to do something together, you have to go to the end whether it will be porridge or rice.
“Do you know what process a man and a woman must go through to have a baby?”
The Grand Duchess’s face turned bright red at that question, which was really direct to me. And after a while, the Grand Duchess muttered softly to me with her voice as if something was crawling.
“…I said yes.”
“Yes? What?”
“My nanny said that I don’t have to know about that. Just… Someday, Seo-Bang-nim will take care of everything, so I just have to trust and follow Seo-Bang-nim…”
“…Ah.”
It was only then that I realized. The fact that for the Grand Duchess, kissing was not an act of starting the engine like I was, but an act of being at the end.
