Chapter 91: Her Honest Heart

“I don’t want to get engaged.”

Lorein lay in bed, lost in thought.

Until recently, she never imagined she would think this way.

She had believed it was her duty to marry into a good noble family.

There was no room for personal feelings.

That was how it was supposed to be.

“It’s because of him that I’ve become greedy.”

She had lived a life dedicated to the sword.

She needed strength to protect her estate and family.

That was thought to be more than enough.

Her life naturally became one of asceticism.

But then…he invaded her heart.

For the first time in her life, she strongly desired something.

She didn’t know how to deal with these emotions…she was clumsy in such matters.

“But…I can’t help it.”

At the same time, she realized during the recent monster incident.

The estate she loved was weaker than she thought.

Of course, they were lucky to resolve it this time.

But what about next time?

Who can say if Hyun-woo will be there, or even herself for that matter?

Above all, her precious family, the estate her father left her, the people living there.

Lorein couldn’t abandon all that.

It wasn’t just because of her strong sense of responsibility.

Lorein had lived her whole life with that mindset.

The Armeina estate still needed strength.

So, as the eldest daughter, she had to make sacrifices.

That was…natural.

“…I want to see Hyun-woo.”

She had already noticed her own feelings.

She liked Hyun-woo more than just a physical relationship.

If she didn’t like him, her nature wouldn’t allow her to give herself to him.

No, she desired him more than just liking him.

She wanted to make Hyun-woo completely hers.

Was she always this possessive?

On the other hand, what would it feel like to be exclusively his, to become his woman?

Just thinking about it made her feverish.

A hot breath flowed from her chest.

“Haah…”

Lorein tightly closed her eyes.

A dark world where nothing could be seen.

Lorein, who preferred solitude, reveled in the scenery.

Suddenly, something shifted in the atmosphere.

A man was there.

His presence alone made the world seem warmer.

If that warmth were to vanish, what would be left?

Nothing.

It was akin to an isolated island, abandoned in the sea.

In the past, perhaps not. But now, having experienced that warmth, the loneliness felt profound.

And when Lorein opened her eyes on that island…

“My Lady.”

Hyun-woo stood before her.

“Uh…?”

Lorein blinked, momentarily disoriented.

For a brief moment, she suspected a hallucination.

However, the distinct scent of a man, teasing her senses, confirmed this was reality.

“Hyun-woo?”

“You must be tired. It’s unusual to see you lying down like this.”

“I used to do this quite often in the past.”

She realized such moments had become rare since Hyun-woo’s arrival.

She couldn’t suppress a soft chuckle.

No, she had been smiling since the moment she saw his face.

After all, his face was unnecessarily handsome.

“I’m relieved. I feared something had happened to you.”

“Weren’t you headed somewhere?”

“Ah, actually, I visited the Sirius estate.”

“What? There?”

She didn’t question his ability to travel there and back so swiftly.

She was now aware of Hyun-woo’s prowess as a magician.

The real surprise was his reason for going.

“Why would you go all the way there…”

“Actually, I went to cancel your engagement.”

“Ah…….”

A wave of relief washed over her from deep within.

Simultaneously, she loathed herself for feeling such relief.

When she was expected to sacrifice for her estate and family.

Yet, she was overwhelmed by her own happiness.

“Ha…”

But the joy was too potent.

She yearned to embrace him and express her gratitude immediately.

That was Lorein’s genuine emotion.

However, Lorein bit her lip, restraining that urge.

She still felt the weight of her duty as the eldest daughter.

“Hyun-woo…I, I…”

“Besides the engagement, I’ve also secured additional support for Armeina.”

“……What?”

Hyun-woo handed her a few documents.

“It’s called a joint defense treaty. If monsters appear like last time, the Sirius estate will immediately send reinforcements.”

Though it’s called a joint defense, the disparity in power between Sirius and Armeina was clear.

It was essentially an offer from Sirius to unilaterally assist Armeina.

“In addition, they’ve promised benefits for goods coming from Armeina and other forms of support. With this, Armeina has enough room to grow.”

Lorein examined the documents with trembling eyes.

The conditions were unbelievably favorable.

There was no need to verify their authenticity; the seal of the Lord of Sirius was clearly affixed.

“……Why?”

Clearly, there was no reason for the Sirius estate to offer such services for free.

These were the kinds of favors Lorein might have requested if they were engaged.

Now that the engagement was off, Sirius had no obligation to extend such kindness.

Yet, there was only one reason for granting such privileges.

Hyun-woo must have offered Sirius something more valuable.

What could he have offered to secure such favorable conditions?

It was beyond Lorein’s imagination.

“Ugh…”

She clenched her fist without realizing it.

What she wanted to protect.

What she had to give up for that.

All of those things… the man before her had secured them too easily.

In exchange, sacrificing himself as if it were nothing.

Everything was done solely for Lorein.

“…Why? Why would you do such a thing?”

“Because that’s what you wanted.”

Unable to hold back, Lorein hugged Hyun-woo tightly.

She felt like she would burst into tears if she didn’t do something.

That was something Lorein’s pride wouldn’t allow.

The last bastion of her being an older sister.

“What are you…”

That’s why Lorein could only express her feelings in this way.

“What are you… that keeps making my heart like this…”

Her slender arms pulled Hyun-woo’s collar down.

Their lips met.

After continuing the kiss for a moment, they embraced each other tightly.

The warmth, his broad chest, the sense of relief filling her heart.

All of it sweetly soothed Lorein’s softened heart.

‘I like it…’

Now, she didn’t want to think about the estate, family, or responsibilities.

She just wanted the man before her.

I was slightly surprised when Lorein clung to me.

Her voice was tinged with a hint of tears, and she hugged me as if she needed me.

I knew she would like it, but I didn’t expect her to be this moved.

Of course, it was a happy miscalculation.

I gladly covered her lips with mine.

“Mmm, mhhm…mmm…”

The number of times Lorein and I had kissed wasn’t that high.

Her conservative nature made even kissing difficult.

Not to mention in places where anyone could slightly see.

Perhaps because of that, Lorein’s kisses still felt inexperienced.

‘Of course, compared to Amy and Ryuz.’

They’ve been smitten with me for quite some time.

The number of kisses with them was now countless.

In that aspect, Lorein might be a quick learner compared to her experience.

‘But still, I have to lead.’

Blessing of the Succubus.

During sex and foreplay, the pleasure the partner felt was amplified. The higher the affection, the effect increased several folds. Even with virgins, the partner would not feel pain. The user’s vitality and libido greatly increase.

Twitch!

As I kissed her using the blessing, Lorein’s body stiffened.

She must be feeling a sudden, dizzying pleasure now.

With accumulated experience, my kissing technique can now melt almost any woman.

Using the blessing, it’s possible to make someone faint with just a kiss.

“Mm…! Hng…! Mmph!”

Lorein, overwhelmed by the intense pleasure, tried to push me away.

But I held her tightly and didn’t let go.

Continuing to tease her with my tongue, her body gradually lost strength.

“Mm…huh…”

Unable to resist, Lorein’s body slackened as she was kissed.

The breath from her nose was as hot as the mirage of a summer day.

While kissing her, I naturally laid her on the bed.

“Puha…!”

After kissing for a while, I finally released Lorein.

Lorein looked at me with a face mixed with ecstasy and distress.

She was panting heavily, and clear saliva flowed from the corner of her mouth.

Her eyes had clouded over with pleasure, half-closed.

“How was it? Did you enjoy the kiss?”

“Don’t… ask that…”

“I really want to hear it honestly. Can’t I get that much of a reward?”

“I thought… my tongue would melt…”

Lorein turned her head away, her face flushed.

Was she embarrassed by being led around by a younger man?

Finding her appearance adorable, I covered her lips again.

“Mm! Mmph…! Hng…♥”

This time, my hands were also busy moving.

Taking advantage of the moment she was lost in the kiss, I undressed her here and there.

Since I was using the blessing, she was quickly aroused.

Every time I touched her large breasts and waist, her body twitched.

“Mmph…hng…! Just, just a moment…! Ahh…!”

I used the eyes of a succubus to explore Lorein’s sensitive areas.

The areas around Lorein that felt it were the anal, waist, armpits, and feet.

Interestingly, this time, her tongue was added to the sensitive areas.

It had become a sensitive area quickly due to my training.

‘As expected of a woman. How could she resist such a lewd body?’

Or perhaps she learned quickly because she’s smart.

I would have to properly develop other areas later.

Thinking so, I touched both her pussy and waist simultaneously.

“Hng! Hng! Mmph!”

The moans trying to burst out were continually blocked by my lips.

Could it be that even Lorein couldn’t bear being stimulated in three places at once?

Her body’s struggle intensified.

I continued to prod her pussy and waist, forcing back the pleasure.

“Mmph! Hng! Uhng!”

Continuing to touch her like that, I finally got a reaction.

Just before she reached her climax.

I removed my hand from her center and focused solely on her waist.

Then-

“Huhuhuhung!”

Lorein finally reached her peak, her waist twisting in ecstasy.

Though the buildup originated from her center, it was evident she could also experience it through her waist.

‘This should connect the sensations.’

Now, merely touching Lorein’s waist elicited intense pleasure.

As if conditioned, a mere touch on her waist could make her center respond eagerly.

With continued practice, she might reach climax from her waist alone someday.

‘Well, even if not, as long as the reaction is positive, it’s enjoyable to guide.’

“Haah…hah…this, this is unfair…”

I removed Lorein’s clothes as she was overwhelmed by her climax.

Lorein was still dazed, lost in the aftermath of her peak.

‘Completely engulfed in bliss.’

Motivated by her reaction, I swiftly removed her garments.

I couldn’t help but pause in admiration once she was fully exposed.

Lorein was donning quite suggestive lingerie.

‘Ho, Lorein in such attire?’

It was a white garter belt, slightly disheveled from the vigorous activity.

The view, glistening with sweat, appeared even more enticing.

It seems I had no other option.

Tonight, it appeared I must delve her into ecstasy with a thorough climax, focusing on her center.
