CHAPTER 3 – The Most Obscene Banquet in the World – (Part 4)
“Haah…! Ugh, Knight! Ah, Aaah!”
“….”
Lillian turned belatedly to glance back at this secret room. The secluded location, the unnecessarily spacious sofa, the layers of thick curtains.
It seemed like a discreet space for couples in heat. There was even a bottle of fruity wine for sweet time.
Yes, she had heard that balls have secret rooms for men and women in a hurry. She didn’t think she’d be walking in here alone, though…….
“Yes, there! There! Harder, more, Aaah! Ugh….!”
She quickly closed the curtain and the sound magically faded away.
Lilian took a moment to relax on the plush sofa. She tossed aside her mask, downed a bottle of fruit wine – unsure if it was peach or cherry – and gulped it down with a loud gulp. Just then, the door opened.
“Pfth!”
Lillian spat out the drink on the spot. Cedric stepped into the room, his gaze as cold as ever. He tossed aside his fox mask and locked the door behind him.
“Why are you avoiding me?”
“Avoiding… no, I’m not.”
“Then what is it?”
When asked like that, there wasn’t much she could say. When Lillian couldn’t answer, Cedric let out a deep, earth-shattering sigh.
Then, he uttered words she could hardly believe.
“The proposal from before.”
“….”
“I’ll accept it.”
“What?”
Her lips were left agape. He didn’t specify what proposal it was exactly, but judging by the bleak atmosphere surrounding him, Lillian could guess.
“You mean… you’ll have intercourse with me? Are you serious?”
‘Could he be drunk? He didn’t look like he’d been drinking…….’
“By any chance, how many of these do you see?”
‘No, whether he’s intoxicated or not, if he’s suggesting it, can I just let it go?’
Lilian, who had stretched out her fingers, hesitated and withdrew her hand. Cedric Edelgard rolled in here on his own two feet. Whether he was drunk or not, she couldn’t just let him go like this.
[Mom?]
Beside his charming face, Marianne peeked out and greeted. Yes, the opportunity had finally come.
‘Marianne, Mom will muster her strength today.
We’ll meet in 9 months, my b*by!’
Determined, Lillian stood up abruptly. Even if her limbs were tied in the iron chains of the inquisitor, she couldn’t miss this moment.
“It’s not a decision I’ve made lightly, but…….”
“Then do it right now.”
“……right now?”
“Yes.”
Seeing her approaching confidently, Cedric stepped back in surprise.
Thud. His sturdy back hit the door with a loud sound.
“Wait. Are you seriously… here?”
“Yes. Right here.”
“Nonsense!”
He wiped his mouth in disbelief. However, Lillian’s expression remained unchanged.
“Why doesn’t it make sense?”
She had imagined it countless times on the battlefield.
In the early dawn, breaking into Cedric Edelgart’s tent and taking him.
Finally, the opportunity for her dream to become reality had come: a banana with a sweet smell, peeled, in front of me, and what woman in the world would be foolish enough to refuse it?
“Take it off right now.”
“Ugh… Lillian, please.”
Her outstretched hand moved without hesitation. Cedric urgently grabbed the arm unbuttoning his tailcoat. Lillian glared at him like a pissed-off cat.
“I thought you said you were taking me up on my offer.”
“Let’s talk first.”
“No, let’s start with penetration.”
“Lillian, snap out of it, we’re outside!”
Cedric pleaded, holding her back as she thrust like a bull.
“We can’t do it here.”
“Why not?”
“How can we do this in a public place, with people coming and going behind the curtain?”
Strictly speaking, he was wrong. The balcony was enclosed on three sides by walls. Even though only curtains adorned the window overlooking the first floor, weren’t the curtains thick enough? It wasn’t a perfectly sealed space, but it was enough for Lillian now.
“I don’t care.”
“Lillian!”
“I said, let’s do it!”
When she shouted, Cedric coldly turned his head.
“It’s not possible. Absolutely not here.”
He was adamant. Why would he say it’s not allowed after making people excited as if he were going to give them candy? Lillian was frustrated.
“Let’s do it! Let’s do it!”
“Let’s do it somewhere else…… a quiet place. Like a bedroom.”
A peaceful place, closed off on all sides, where they could focus on each other.
“When we’re both ready, body and soul, then we can…….”
“You might change your mind!”
“I promise. Let’s meet at your residence…”
Come to think of it, it was absurd for him to go alone to the house where the lady lived alone. What a ridiculous thing to do. Cedric quickly changed his words.
“…My place. Let’s do it at my place. It would be rude of me to come to your place where you stay alone…”
But the thought of Lillian sneaking over to his place was even more lascivious. On his bed where he slept every day… doing that!
“My place won’t work either.”
‘Then where in the world could we do it?
Oh my goodness…
To be contemplating such things!’
He bit his lips, now as red as tomatoes. This situation hadn’t gone exactly as he’d planned. He’d gotten caught up in Lillian, and now…….
The atmosphere became heavy. It was not a good sign. He needed to calm down his thumping heart.
When he averted his gaze, Lillian, who had been watching him anxiously, snapped.
“See, you’ve already changed your mind!”
“No, I haven’t.”
“It was the same that day. The day we kissed, you were so eager then! The next day, you acted like you didn’t know anything!”
“That’s because…….”
If it was about the kiss that day, Cedric indeed had nothing to say. He barely remembered it. The only things vaguely coming to mind were Lillian’s soft and sweet lips, the scent that filled his lungs all the way to his toes, and the faint moans that tickled his chest.
He had no recollection of the nonsense he had spouted, how persistent and stubborn his touch on her waist was.
“I can’t trust your words. If it’s not now, at this moment, you’ll definitely change your mind!”
“Absolutely not. I swear.”
“God will surely heed such an oath.”
“…Yeah, I can’t swear on something like that.”
“Enough of that, just take it off right now, innocent Sir Edelgard!”
Somehow, Lillian, using some mysterious force, pressed him against the sofa by clasping his shoulders.
Cedric, now lying down in disbelief, looked up at her.
“Lillian…?”
“If you keep coming out uncooperative, I’ll have no choice but to use force.”
Without even a flicker in her gaze, she climbed onto Cedric’s waist.
“What are you doing now?”
He, lost in contemplation like a cornered young boy, gripped her wrist.
‘It’s like a twig…….
What is this?’
He quickly withdrew his hand at the unfamiliar sensation that it might break if he mishandled. As he did so, the slender hand that had regained its freedom reached out to him like a tempting devil.
“Sir Edelgard, as pure in body and soul as a dove, wouldn’t have known.”
His robust arms, which had shattered the steel fortress of the heretics, fumbled through the air, unable to settle on anything.
“By stepping onto this balcony, you consent to everything that is done here.”
