THIS NOVEL IS COMPLED
EP.34 With a Weakened Body
The room the princess provided was comfortable.
It couldn't even be compared to a soldier's quarters.
Having it to myself was a given.
It was quiet, with not even anyone lingering nearby.
'Judging by the lack of people around... she must have given me this room on purpose.'
Now, I couldn't go back to the barracks I used as a soldier.
I'd been promoted to knight, but it wasn't a situation I could reveal openly.
"I did rise to knighthood, but I have to keep it a secret as much as possible..."
Sunlight poured in through the window.
Normally, it'd be time to go out and do something.
But for several days, I'd been lying around in my room without a care.
"They told me to get training, but I haven't received any specific instructions."
I couldn't just wander around at will.
If someone asked questions, it would be hard to answer.
"But just staying in the room is a bit boring..."
As I was leisurely pondering,
I sensed someone outside.
Not just passing by they'd stopped right in front of the door.
The suspicious behavior made my body tense up automatically.
"..."
I decided to wait and see.
What would this unknown person do?
If they left, I'd go out myself.
"Ahem..."
How many minutes passed?
A familiar voice came from outside.
"Uh, Sir Eldric...!"
The voice belonged to Bella.
She was calling me in an awkward tone.
My tense muscles instantly relaxed.
"Ah... Captain of the Guard."
Now I understood why she'd been standing there.
She'd been hesitating.
She must have been replaying memories of her humiliation.
She probably debated dozens of times whether to call for me.
"Please wait a moment."
I smiled and opened the door.
Bella was standing there awkwardly.
"Ugh..."
The traces of her inner conflict were still there.
It wasn't a simple look of dislike.
Bella's face was complicated and subtle.
"For the Captain herself to come, this must be special."
"..."
"Ah...! Is it because you can't hold back your lust? Come in "
"Y-you idiot...! If someone heard such nonsense, I'd cut your head off...!"
Bella's face turned bright red.
Her denial only made me laugh more.
"The princess ordered me to train you, that's why I'm here."
"I heard."
"Good. I absolutely did not come here for personal reasons...!"
She emphasized this point.
She didn't seem to realize it only made her look more suspicious.
If anything, it was proof she was self-conscious.
"Yes, yes. Of course."
"Ugh... You insolent brat... You're my subordinate now. I won't tolerate that attitude."
"I'll be careful. By the way... how's your body after all that?"
I looked Bella over carefully.
She looked fine on the surface.
But she tried to cover her body.
"L-looking at your superior like that is a serious offense...!"
"What do you mean? I was just looking at my new superior."
"My body is none of your concern."
"You're the Captain of the Guard, protector of the royal family. If you broke down because of me, it would be a big problem."
I stepped forward.
Bella flinched as the distance closed.
"Ugh..."
We were close enough that I could touch her at any time.
She didn't show any sign of backing away.
It was a strange situation her, the superior, being nervous.
"Should I touch you and help you relax?"
"I-I don't know what you're talking about..."
It was written all over her face.
She was pretending not to know.
"You know very well. Like when I fingered your pussy before..."
"Ugh...?! S-shut up...! That will never happen again!"
Her red eyes glared at me.
But the sharpness was gone.
What was inside was shame, revived.
"Someone might hear, don't say such crude things..."
"Don't worry. There's no one around, and I said it quietly enough that only you could hear."
"If you tease your superior again, I won't let it slide...!"
"As I said, I was just sincerely worried about you."
I slowly approached Bella, as if I might touch her at any moment.
"A-anyway... we need to go outside. Follow me."
In the end, Bella looked away.
It was like admitting defeat.
I had to hold back my laughter.
"Alright. But why are we going out?"
"...Your existence is being kept as secret as possible. We can't train inside the palace."
"I don't know the area, so I'll have to rely on you."
I put my hand on her shoulder.
It was rude, but she didn't stop me.
"Ugh... Just follow quietly so no one gets suspicious."
Bella couldn't hide her tension.
Turning away as if to flee was the best she could do.
Even with my insolence, she chose avoidance over scolding.
'Is it because her body remembers? Maybe she feels like she's about to be scolded herself.'
Either way, it was amusing.
Her body was responding more than her pride.
A body that had learned pleasure was affecting her unconscious.
"I'm looking forward to training with you, Captain."
"I don't really want to, but I'm only doing this because the princess ordered it."
Bella led the way, showing her displeasure.
I smiled and followed her.
"So, where are we going?"
"The outskirts of the city."
"Fitting for a secret training session there won't be anyone around. But it's a long way to go back and forth every day."
"...I plan to stay outside the city until your training is over. I'll only come back for work sometimes."
It meant a two-person training retreat.
Perfect for spending intimate, secret time together.
Bella surely knew that.
Anything suppressed will rebound.
Bella learned that firsthand.
Skipping the appointment ceremony meant nothing.
"Ugh..."
Her body was hot.
The reason was none other than Eldric.
Just having him come close made her body heat up.
'My body... is reacting on its own...'
She had prepared in advance.
She'd planned to punish any rudeness immediately.
But her body wouldn't cooperate.
The moment Eldric suddenly approached,
her body and mind froze.
'Next time... definitely...'
Bella resolved again.
If he acted rudely again, she'd physically punish him.
But she vaguely felt powerless.
She wasn't sure she could respond if it happened again.
"Haa... huu..."
Her heat still hadn't faded.
Even the clinging cool dampness didn't help.
Eldric's presence kept bothering her.
'It's even worse because it's dark...'
A dark, damp passageway.
Bella didn't like it.
Her own breathing sounded loud.
"Huu... ugh..."
Eldric, unlike Bella, was calm.
He followed her easily through the narrow passage.
"What is this passage?"
"It's a secret passage the princess told me about."
"If you don't know the way, you could die in here."
"If you follow her directions, there's no problem."
Darkness dulled sight,
but heightened other senses.
Her sense of touch was so sharp, she could feel the damp air.
'What is this discomfort...'
Eldric's presence only stirred her sexual desire more.
But Bella didn't realize it.
She just thought it was annoying.
"If you fall behind, I'll leave you."
In truth, no matter how annoyed she got, she couldn't leave him.
It was the princess's order.
Even if she tried to ignore it, her sharpened senses wouldn't allow it.
"Then I'll be careful."
Eldric calmly reached out his hand.
He aimed straight for Bella's butt.
"Hii...?!"
His hand came when she wasn't expecting it.
Bella let out an involuntary moan.
She almost fell to the floor in the darkness.
"W-what are you doing?!"
"Ah... I just wanted to rely on you, Captain, since I can't see well."
The truth was, it was on purpose.
Eldric's physical abilities were far superior,
thanks to absorbing the gem.
Even without training, he wouldn't get lost in a narrow passage.
"Don't act spoiled...! You're a guard now. If you can't handle this, I'll report you're not fit to serve...!"
"But you seemed pretty nervous, Captain. You jumped in surprise."
"Ugh... I was just instinctively on guard! I'm not like you!"
Bella got even angrier on purpose,
to hide her embarrassment.
"I'll be careful."
Eldric smiled in the darkness.
Bella couldn't see it,
but she could feel the teasing atmosphere.
"If you keep messing around... I'll make your training much harsher."
"Yes, ma'am."
She couldn't blame him.
If she stopped to argue here, it would just mean more teasing.
'Just now... my body reacted again... ugh...!'
She couldn't allow it.
A thrilling sense of danger ran through her.
A dangerous temptation rose in her heart.
The temptation to be touched in the dark.
As she tried to suppress it, Eldric's hand touched her again.
"Hyaa...♥ Huu...! Y-you, again..."
"Ah, my mistake."
In the end, Bella had to endure it several more times until they made it out of the passage.
