The Noble Lady of Lust

Chapter 263: Culprits

..

”Could you... step outside for a moment...? I have to get dressed...”

Finally, after a long hour, Aurora calmed down. She stopped shaking and, as I thought she was so tired that she fell asleep in my arms, I heard her say that in a low voice.

When I looked down, I couldn’t see her face as she was still pressed against my chest, but I saw that her ears were flushed.

”Well.”

I didn’t know the exact reason, but if she was already okay, I thought that was enough.

I left the room, tidied up the small dining room I had and started to take out the stored food.

..

.

”Chomp! Munch! crunch! Gulp!...haaa~ That was delicious!”

’yeah that’s definitely not the way a princess eats, but well who am I to judge’ .

”well now tell me, what happened to you, something like this shouldn’t have happened?”

”haaa~ where to start..., let’s see, as you know lately I haven’t been able to meet with you because of the exam and the temple, but a few weeks ago, I started to feel bad and, days later, I grew horns and a tail, as you warned me.”

”Yeah, I thought about that when you missed the exam and then I.... I mean, Elena saw you wearing the ribbons I gave you, in case you grew horns”.

”Oh!, I really wanted to thank you for that, you don’t know how much it helped me.”

”That’s good.”

”Where was I? Oh, right!, at the time I thought it was over and I was feeling better already, but.... what day is today?”

”Monday, in the morning.”

”It was Friday when they got in touch with me again, after months of incommunicado.”

”...”

Well, that was something I expected. When I broke all their contracts, that didn’t mean they had cut off all contact, Aurora had a communication gem.

By which she received orders, but they never communicated with her again.

It didn’t seem so strange to me; after all, she had broken all contracts. Possibly they were left in doubt as to what happened.

Still, I told her not to discard it, just in case and to let me know if there was any contact.

But I still don’t understand what that has to do with her demonic side getting out of control?

”My mother came to me personally and demanded an explanation.”

”What the hell!!! What kind of crap are the barriers of this realm? How did a pure demon infiltrate all the way here? Fuck! This fucking backward kingdom...”

’Why doesn’t his fucking capital have any anti-space barriers?’

No, come to think of it, it was already weird that the city Kiel was in had.... I mean, those barriers are super advanced, and it would already be weird to find them in their capital, at first I didn’t take much notice because I didn’t fully understand that realm.

But now I wonder if Akihara had something to do with it? Well, that’s over now. It’s too late to think about it in depth.

”She wanted to get the information out of me about how I broke the contracts and wanted to bring me back under her control.”

”So...”

”Obviously I refused. We started a fight. She only has five metamorphoses and she’s not even good at fighting, so I was able to defend myself.”

”...” ’yeah I can see where this is going’

”she obviously didn’t want to draw attention to herself, so before it escalated she retreated. But before she left, she gave me a wound with a weapon stained with something red... At first I thought it was poison, but no detox spell worked.”

”Damn!!! There was the rub, let me guess the rest: then she left with a victorious smile and told you that, if you wanted to live, you had to contact her, right? And accept the contracts.”

”Yes... How did you...?”

”And seeing how you were when I arrived, you refused and were determined to die rather than agree to be with them again. I imagine the time limit was only one day, right?”

”Yes.”

”You sure are tough...that bitch used blood, maybe it was hers, to stimulate you now when you were at a delicate time of growth. After one day you would be unstable and so distorted that you would be unsalvageable and die, that bitch I’m going to kill her.”

I think it was also the breathing technique I gave her earlier that helped her survive so long. It really bothered me that, if it wasn’t for that and that I had arrived in time, she would have died.

It really bothered me. While Aurora wasn’t in my harem yet, she was still a friend, and that infuriated me.

It was as if the world was telling me that my efforts were futile and that I would eventually lose the people around me, as happened to my alternate self.

That thought only fueled my anger more.

’I’m definitely not going to let something like that happen.’

”...”

As I continued to sink into my anger, I saw Aurora looking at me blankly. Then I thought:

”ah!, I’m sorry, she is your mother after all.”

”No, you’re right. I myself want to kill her too, ever since she made me sign those contracts.”

”Yes, after something like that, that woman deserves no mercy. We’ll hunt her down.”

Fine, I’ll hunt that fucker down and kill her or give her to Aurora for her to do it if she hates her too much.

That woman earned the first place on my personal list, of people to eliminate in this life.

”...umm. leaving that aside you said I was unsalvageable after one day, didn’t you? they thought the same thing, so how did you help me?”

”ah! humm... well, family secret. If you join my harem, I’ll tell you.”

”Hey, can’t you, at least once, put that topic aside? You have a serious obsession... But I’ll think about it.”

”Oh, you said you’d think about it...? It’s the first time you’ve said something like that. I see, you were touched by how, like a prince charming, I came and saved you like a princess.”

”you had to say it like that... that ruined everything you did..... I don’t feel anything anymore... You know, sometimes you seem to forget that you’re a woman too. You’re worse than me...”

”Oh, sorry, it just slipped out. Well, we’ve made progress in our relationship.... By the time she notice, I’ll be tasting that flat chest.”

’shit I said the second thing out loud...’

I blurted out what I was thinking unintentionally....although now that I think about it I wonder if it will taste like Vey’s... Maybe cherry? Strawberry?, after all Aurora had a sweet red fruit body odor, which makes my hypothesis plausible.

”You fucking pervert with no control! Forget what I just said! No way am I going to be in your harem!”

”Hmm, so you gained the courage to refuse me, huh? How bold.”

”So what are you going to do about it?” ╰（‵□′）╯

”( ╯□╰ )...You know, Lately I was starting to get a taste for annoying you, because of how scared you were of me..., so it’s not funny anymore..”

”it’s your fault, the things you do and know are not supported by your personality”.

”Well who cares, it also means you’re closer to belonging to my harem, hey while we’re at it, Aurora would you rather be the boy or girl in the relationship?”

”it’s none of your business, I’m still not joining your weird harem”

”well I’ll tell you up front, but I am, the boy , nothing will get into me, and that’s absolute”

”I don’t care!!!” o(≧口≦)o

”Fine, but at least you owe me your life. I’ll go easy on you... Let me give it a lick and check something. Besides, you already leaned on my chest, so let me rub my face too.”

”You-you-you’re-”

”...Well, I’m just kidding.”

”You didn’t look like you were kidding!!”

’Damn, I tried, now I’ll be left wondering if her breasts have taste or not’.

I think she became even more beautiful, maybe that’s why my desires come out of my mouth more easily.

Now Aurora has a different appearance, besides the tail and horns, her hair has randomly scattered pink streaks like Silvia and now she has heterochromia with one eye being golden and the other pink.

”Well, leaving that aside... You’re fine now, but your physique has changed a bit. And, truth be told, what I did on you was... how should I put it... experimental.”

”...”

”So, if possible, I’d like you to move into the dorms... specifically, my room.”

”you seriously at every opportunity-”

”don’t misunderstand me, I really mean it, it’s because of your.. wait!!!, there’s something wrong...Fuck, what timing. ”

Just as I was about to explain to her, that it was indeed important to have her around, to keep track of her condition, I felt the space begin to shake.

It was small, but I, who had experienced space magic, knew something must be about to happen.

Putting aside the crappy barrier this realm had, I wondered how the demons possessed this technology. As far as I knew, we should be even in that regard.

But there was no time for further thought. At that moment, suddenly, a crack opened up.

’Yeah the more I think about it, that variety they have in special magical technology, the more it all seems suspicious to me. ’

”Ugh!, this thing is having more turbulence.”

”Quickly, we can’t waste time. you Take the body, it’ll be good research material, and eliminate all evidence.”

”Tsk, that unfilial girl decided to resist to the end...”

I started to hear the voices coming from the portal. I quickly braced myself and looked at Aurora just to confirm.

”That’s my mother’s voice...”

Before I even asked, Aurora told me directly, as pure anger filled her face and she emitted murderous intent.

Apparently, she was serious about wanting to kill her, and with everything that woman did, she deserved no less.

Just from what I just heard, I realize what kind of person she is.

Without leaving us any more in tention, The next moment, out of the crack came the woman, which upon seeing her appearance left me a bit dumbfounded and my thoughts got stuck for a moment.

”What is this!?”

”What’s wrong, is something wrong, do you need help?”

”Hmm... No! I can handle it. I was just surprised she was still alive.”

”What, that’s even better! I have to study it any way I can, I’m sure we’ll get more credits for this, bring her.”

”Hee~..., not only that, in fact, this is better than we thought. The little princess of the duchy Silvercrest is here too!”
