The Noble Lady of Lust

Chapter 351: Today You Will Die By My Hands!

”Haah~, so that’s what it was after all. Now, answer me: you’ve met with her before, haven’t you?”

”Y-yes, I got a message yesterday and went to talk to her. Nothing strange happened, although it was awkward, it ended normally, but this morning I got a letter saying that if I didn’t bring you here... it would become known.”

”If that sounds like something that Ruthless princess would do, tell me how many lies you told her yesterday during your conversation with her.”

”Eh? Well, she asked complicated questions and—ah!”

”Yes, it seems you remembered something. Wasn’t there something like a warning? I don’t know, from someone with platinum white hair...”

I mean, I’m sure I warned all the girls in my harem not to lie to that princess while she was looking them in the eye.

The reason is her blessing. She is blessed by the goddess of justice, a goddess who is not very relevant in our kingdom, but very powerful at the level of Aleoria.

It was a direct blessing she received a few years ago. That’s why she was highly regarded, as it’s not common in her generation.

It’s a blessing that means if you lie to her three times, she will know a great truth about you, and so on.

It was a dangerous blessing. Of course, being a blessing that uses divinity, my protection from lust is working with her, but here comes a slightly strange influence: since it is a blessing given to a human, it would continue to work without being totally affected.

Although I’m not entirely sure yet, most likely even if I lie to her a lot, she wouldn’t be able to get anything out of me regarding the legacy; but it’s possible that she could get other things out of me, for example, knowing that I am Seraphina, and things like that.

The same goes for the girls: she’s only supposed to access personal secrets, but if you interact with her and lie to her enough, she can get truths out of others.

This skill was dangerous for Elena and Aurora, who had blessings from evil gods; it was likely that this would come out quickly.

In Aurora’s case, it seems that it came out first, that she was still half-demon. I didn’t explain why, as it might raise more questions, but I was serious when I warned her: don’t lie to that princess. And apparently, Aurora didn’t follow what I said.

”Y-yes, she said that, but...”

”You did it anyway. Well, tell me how many times you did it; depending on your answer, I’ll tell you how screwed you are.”

”Wait, I... did it... five times.”

”Oh, lucky you. Well, you were one more time away from giving her an important secret. Let’s see... she probably knows you’re part demon, and nothing else... hmmm but, Aurora, since so many people know, why don’t we make it common knowledge? That way she can’t threaten you.”

”Stop fooling around, they’ll hang me. I’ll be lucky if they don’t torture me or something. A demon who lived in the palace gave birth to a half-demon, the king’s own daughter; they’ll probably make me disappear.”

”Huuy, yes, that’s true. Well, it was nice to meet you. I hope you follow the advice better in your next life. Someone tells you, ’Don’t lie to a certain person, or bad things will happen,’ and a few days later, you lie to them... I don’t think you’re as smart as you want to appear.”

”I understand! I’m sorry, it was my mistake, but with her? I’ve never been good at dealing with her. Ever since we were kids, she has something I can’t do anything about, plus she asked questions I couldn’t help answering and lied to her”.

”Haah~ you should have avoided her gaze, not like that—oh! Yes, as I was saying, but she really is a sharp princess. I’ve even heard that she has bad breath, although no one dares to say so.”

”Hey, what are you talking about? ...that’s not what...”

”Yes, you know, they say that even though she’s pretty and one of the beauties of the kingdom, she has some very strange fetishes. We could use that to our advantage!”

”Huh... what? She had something like that?”

”Oh, my sweet, beautiful girlfriend! Always so distracted. It’s something that’s constantly circulating around the academy.”

”Huh, what? Suddenly...? I hadn’t heard anything about that.”

”Yes, you’re distracted, but that doesn’t detract from your cuteness. Let’s see, for example, one of the milder ones: she has secret meetings with the elite members of her faction, which is why so many people want to join her, even with her bad breath.”

”That... is... I think something like that must just be rumors? I don’t think it would work, for...”

”Wait, that’s not all! He says there’s a lot of latex and pain involved. She’s like a dominatrix, training them all, putting things where only things should come out and stuff. That’s why they’re all like obedient dogs. She has her leash, and that’s how she keeps her faction afloat.”

”Really?”

”Gee, I’m surprised you haven’t heard about it. You know, it was actually William who told me. He’d heard it somewhere in the palace. Nothing is more reliable than that! He was shocked. He even promised that under no circumstances would he get involved with the princess, even though he knows she’s a beauty. He said that even a flat face like yours was better, though he regretted it since you’ve been dating me. ”

”Eh? ... That’s... Willian?”

I can see the confusion on Aurora’s face; it seems she couldn’t connect what he was saying, and perhaps because she finds it hard to believe that Willian would say something like that, and in fact he didn’t.

But since it seems inevitable, I have already decided how to deal with that princess. This life I will not be her toy, nor will I be her lapdog.

The fact that she used such an important secret about Aurora to bring me before her made it obvious that she wouldn’t leave me alone; that’s why I wanted to be an eminence in the shadows.

It’s a pity that didn’t happen.

My alternate self suffered a lot because of that woman, but I won’t be like that. I won’t fall for her tricks or let her lead me by the nose.

”Yes, among other things, what is known about her and what William told me is that she is a pervert who likes to spy on other people without their consent and listen to their conversations, because she discovered that magical technology in some ruins and thinks that no one else on this continent will discover it.”

”Huh? ... Ah!”

”You’re very slow, Aurora. In a few moments, she’ll come in there pretending she didn’t hear anything. Play along with me, okay!”

”Yes...”

Creak!

”Sorry for the delay, even though I was the one who invited you here.”

At that moment, as I thought, a beautiful woman entered the room. Her wavy golden hair was beautiful, she wore a uniform somewhat similar to military attire, and her eyes were a beautiful golden color, like Aurora’s, although now she only has one like that.

Since I entered here, I quickly detected several listening spells and such; they weren’t very powerful or hidden spells, but they certainly didn’t exist on this continent.

At least until she found them in a ruin. I knew about them; they were deactivated, so I didn’t pay any attention to them. But they activated, and I started saying all that because I knew she was listening to me!

”More than an invitation, I would say a threat, wouldn’t you?”

I didn’t even turn in her direction and remained lying on Aurora’s lap as I answered her.

Although through my senses I could see her eyebrow twitch at my attitude and words.

Yes, I thought it was an achievement, especially because as far as I knew, she had good control over her expressions.

That was all, and she said nothing more as she walked over and sat down on the couch in front of us. There was a small table between us.

”Honestly, I didn’t expect you to know my sister’s secret.”

”Yeah, I guess you didn’t expect her to tell me that you brought me here because you threatened her, since she’s half-demon. Too bad, it seems you wanted me to have a good impression of you, maybe of a good sister-in-law.”

’Let’s see, there’s 1, 2, 3, 4... and there’s the fifth one, that’s a good one, is it her art? Or a skill?’

”...Aurora, I see you have the guts to charm him, I understand how you got where you are. Well, that works just as well.”

”M-me? No, I did it... he’s like that, come on, say something—”

”Hmm, well, you know, that’s not bad. I mean, that way I get rid of all the problems. Yes, princess, it’s just as you think, I’m under her charm, she has me at her feet, any negotiations go with her; leave me out of it.”

”Cut the nonsense, this is serious.”

”Yeah, me too, my agreement doesn’t cover that much. I mean, she even knows you’re a demon of lust, virgin. If she wants me to intervene, you have to at least squeeze my head with your thighs while wearing a micro bikini. No negotiations!”

”Y-you bastard! You didn’t have to mention the virgin thing and... don’t think I won’t tell Eira about the perversities you want to do.”

”Oh, you know, a few weeks ago I said the same thing to her, she got mad and we had a fight to the death, but then I got from her along with Selene a double thigh tight and they were wearing a microbikini. Do you think I’m afraid of your threat?”

Damn it, this... stop talking nonsense. This is really serious for me; my life may depend on it... Sister, he’s not under my charm, you know how those blessed by Aeloria are.

”Hey, that’s a secret.”

”It’s knowledge that the instructors know; she must know it.”

Well, that’s true. She’s a princess, she has a large network of information and more using that magical technology that many are unaware of.

And although the instructors said they would keep it very confidential because if it were exposed it would put me in danger, I’m sure this princess would already know.

”So you were blessed by Aeloria, excuse my previous misunderstanding.”

’Oh, I didn’t know that.’

”Ah, you see! she didn’t know. You gave crucial information about me to a crazy pervert with a fetish for watching others. Let me tell you that even the thigh lock is no longer enough. At the very least, you also have to sit on my face wearing the micro bikini! No, one of those thongs that are the same in the front and back.”

”Ugh... fine, I’ll do it.”

”Huh?! Really?! I was just joking, but since you accept... ugh!”

I didn’t really understand what happened to her all of a sudden and why her hands suddenly went to my neck and why she seemed to be squeezing me in earnest, if she seemed willing to accept.

”Damn it, I’ll kill you! Yes, I’ll die anyway... I’ll take you with me!”

”No, this is domestic violence, ugh. Stop using magic to empower yourself, why do you seem like you really want to kill me?”

”Because that’s what’s going to happen!”

”Since when did you become a yande-ugh!!!! At least... ugh!... do it with your thighs... your thighs!”

”No! Today you will die by my hands! Damn you!”
