“Ahhh! Mmph, ahhh, ahhh!”

Heat spread throughout the greenhouse interior. Still in her torn dress, Chohee was thoroughly ravaged by Claes. But even that was joy to her.

‘I want to keep dreaming. This kind of dream… I really like Claes.’

She truly loved how he was gentle yet transformed into a rough but skilled beast during s*x. She also felt her heart flutter each time Claes occasionally let out seductive words while watching her m*an and be toyed with by pleasure.

“Your p*ssy is squirming again, wanting to eat my c*ck juices. When you do this, I absolutely can’t hold back. I’ll come once more.”

He seemed unable to get enough of Chohee.

Chohee breathed heavily while alternately sucking his s*men with her mouth and lower p*ssy. Before she knew it, their position had changed and she was looking up at Claes with her legs draped over his shoulders.

“Kissing while having s*x like this feels so good. You seem to enjoy kissing me too.”

Claes’s white eyebrows curved slightly as he licked her lips with his tongue, wearing a mischievous expression.

“So… don’t go anywhere now and stay by my side. So I won’t have to wander searching for you again…”

Claes spoke earnestly and gazed at Chohee with tender eyes.

However, Chohee didn’t nod her head at that moment.

Claes seemed to have anticipated such a reaction from her and only smiled affectionately.

‘This is just a dream anyway.’

She couldn’t make promises she couldn’t keep.

‘I like Claes so much too, but… I don’t want to yearn for a dream character and suffer from lovesickness.’

Even now, she often found herself thinking of Claes in reality.

So Chohee expressed her feelings by kissing Claes herself.

Thinking that if a moment came when they wouldn’t have to part, she would stay by his side.

Even while finishing his government affairs, Karad kept watching his older brother Claes with disapproving eyes.

Whether he knew of his gaze or not, Claes was just peacefully focused on his paperwork. Karad bit his lips tightly and finished the work assigned to him.

‘This is really t*rture…’

He was truly inexperienced with paperwork. He couldn’t do it as well as Lars, who had started paperwork later than him, so he always had to ask Claes, who seemed perfect at everything, to review whether his work was done properly.

“I’m finished. Brother, please review it.”

“Understood, Karad. Leave it and go finish your remaining tasks. You must have knight training duties left.”

At those words, Karad barely regained his pride. Training and leading knights was almost the only task he could do properly.

As he left the office, he bit his lips. Lars already had his own office, but the fact that he always had to work with Claes weighed heavily on his shoulders.

“Haah…”

His inferiority complex oozed from every step he took. Though he wielded a sword much better than the knights, even that was insignificant compared to Claes, who was a master archer and Grand Sword Master.

As stress boiled in his head, he clenched his fists and walked. Before going to the knights, he felt he needed to release this stress through l*st to do anything properly.

“…Have you arrived? However, His Highness Lars commanded that no one be allowed in until he finishes his conversation. He also said there’s a gift that His Highness Crown Prince Claes asked to be delivered.”

Karad barely suppressed his eyebrows from twitching. But the knight before him could sense his displeasure. Being the emperor’s second son yet holding less power than Lars, the youngest, struck his inferiority complex even harder.

‘But if I barge in here, Lars might tell Claes.’

So Karad barely managed to say only “Understood. Then tell him I came” and stood waiting in front. He hadn’t known it would become this difficult to see Elysia’s face when he first saw her.

‘But this insolent behavior will end once you bear a child. Then I’ll immediately banish you beyond the empire. Even if you cry and cling, I absolutely won’t show mercy.’

Though Claes would never allow it, she was just one woman. No matter what oracle had fallen, he didn’t want to follow a prophecy that treated him like a breeding stallion. 

Moreover, that Elysia seemed to look down on him, smiling brightly whenever she saw his face.

‘…Haah, just how long are they going to make me wait?’

What on earth were they talking about to make someone wait this long?

Just as Karad, boiling with anger, approached the door.

“I’ll bring a maid for a moment.”

When he spotted Lars slightly opening the door and leaning out, his body froze. When Lars turned his head to look directly at him, Karad’s body stiffened instantly.

“Brother, you’ve come too. Would you like to have tea time with Elysia and me?”

“…Didn’t you say not to let anyone in?”

Though his voice clearly carried displeasure, Lars smiled warmly.

“That’s because I didn’t know it was you, brother. But since you’ve come to see me and I’ve delivered the gift from Brother Claes to Elysia, I think it would be good if you came in to see her face too.”

Actually, Karad had intended to treat Elysia solely as a breeding vessel and have *ntercourse. So Lars’s suggestion wasn’t very welcome. But before he could refuse, Lars extended his hand.

“…Let go. I’ll go in myself.”

“Then.”

Karad entered the room with Lars leading, his face not hiding his displeasure. In the meantime, he didn’t forget to glare once at the knight who had stopped him.

The knight thought he was truly pathetic, but didn’t show it in his expression.

“Elysia. Brother Karad has come too.”

Then Chohee smiled brightly.

She knew the time to wake from the dream was approaching. She always woke up from this dream before spending even a full week. So she needed to gradually prepare to part from the three princes.

At first, it seemed ridiculous to prepare for waking from a dream. She thought the worldview itself where they ravaged her while wanting to have s*x only with her was a delicious setting, but this wasn’t reality.

‘These dreams always end within a week.’

So Chohee approached life here with a somewhat light mindset. Anyway, when she dreamed again, she would be assembled from the finest body parts on top of another pile of bones and then possess it.

‘Even so, I’ve grown too fond of this dream now, so parting is a bit regrettable, and around this time I always start preparing to part.’

Especially she would recall Claes’s sweet voice that she could hear when having s*x with him. Chohee smiled brightly while remembering how Claes had said “You’re lovely, Elysia” in her ear.

But watching that, Karad’s displeasure rose considerably. What exactly about him was so funny that she was smirking like that?

“…Does brother find Elysia’s happiness unpleasant?”

At Lars’s calm words, Karad snapped back to attention. His purpose was to ravage Elysia while treating her as a breeding vessel. There was nothing good about getting on Lars’s nerves.

“Not particularly. I just, I…”

“Yes. You’re probably thinking of driving Elysia away. But Brother Claes will prevent that, so nothing will happen to Elysia.”

Karad shut his mouth tight. Lars quietly stared at him then turned his gaze back to Chohee. The teacup containing red waves of black tea placed before her swayed gently as she lowered her hand to grasp the handle.

“Even if Elysia understands what we’re saying, you don’t seem to think it’s strange at all.”

At those words, Lars’s face showed displeasure.

“This is why I said not to let anyone in when Elysia and I have tea time. When you say such things, you ruin both Elysia’s and my mood.”

“…That.”

“To be frank, I have no idea what part of Elysia you find strange. Every part of her seems naturally beautiful, so rather, I find it unpleasant when you upset me like this, brother.”

Chohee quietly sipped her tea while alternately watching the two arguing brothers.

But rather, Lars felt relieved at Chohee’s reaction.

Elysia was fundamentally a person from another world. He had heard that when she heard disparaging words like this while not fully adapted to the culture here, she would feel hurt and sometimes even abandon the emperor or princes and run away.
