“I’m your attendant, and Max is your guard knight.”

“…So you want to see my woman’s n*ked body?”

“That’s not what I meant…”

“Wait outside.”

The iron door closed with a loud bang. Harvey stomped his feet.

“Has Lord Jenkins forgotten that woman is a knight from the Astia Empire? Goodness! What if something dangerous happens! He didn’t even bring any weapons…”

“…It’ll be fine.”

“What will be fine?!”

Max nodded while looking at the iron door.

“Just saying. It’s not their first time bathing together. They must be doing something they can’t show us.”

“?”

After the door closed, Evelyn looked around the couple’s bath. She made a troubled expression seeing the bath that looked like it would be completely filled with just two people.

“It’s small.”

“Lovers prefer smaller spaces. That way they can stick together and do all sorts of things, right?”

Inside the bath, steam hung thick like fog. Jenkins, who had already removed his suit, suddenly emerged through the steam.

“You’re not going to bathe with your clothes on, are you?”

His hand pointed to Evelyn’s clothes. Looking at the already n*ked Jenkins, Evelyn examined his body thoroughly. She even whistled at his well-defined muscles.

“…Looking good?”

Seeing her being unusually forward when she normally avoided physical contact, Jenkins said jokingly:

“If you like it, why not have a go?”

“Hmm, I’ll think about it.”

“…”

Jenkins wanted to pounce on Evelyn. If he hadn’t been interested, he wouldn’t have come to the couple’s bath. But Evelyn kept teasing, seeming to offer but never giving.

Evelyn undressed and slowly entered the bath, testing the water temperature with her toes.

Jenkins sat across from her, flaunting the thick, hard member between his thighs. Pre-fluid dripped from the split head, mixing with the water. He openly stared between Evelyn’s thighs.

Evelyn sat with her legs together, but her private parts were clearly visible. The hair in her intimate area was silver, just like her head. When her pubic hair went underwater, it swayed side to side like aquatic plants.

When Evelyn untied her ponytail, her silver hair cascaded over her shoulders. She looked like an angel descended into the bath.

Mesmerized by this mystical sight, Jenkins gulped. In the quiet space, the sound of swallowing was loud, causing Evelyn to look at him.

“What, are you turned on?”

Being a commoner knight, Evelyn was occasionally crude with her words. But Jenkins liked even that about her.

“I’ve been turned on for quite some time now.”

“…Really?”

Soaking in the hot water, Evelyn fell silent. Her hair spread out on the water’s surface. Jenkins reached out and touched her silver hair. It was an uncommon color in the Peshar Empire. Even if he returned to his homeland, he would struggle to find a woman identical to her, or even similar.

Then Evelyn’s voice echoed in the quiet bath.

“I heard.”

“…What?”

“That you’re returning to the capital of the Peshar Empire…”

Evelyn’s face turned bitter. They were two people who would be difficult to see together outside this neutral village.

His father in the capital had been sending letters asking Jenkins to return. However, Jenkins was determined not to leave until he had Evelyn.

He simply couldn’t leave this place without satisfying his feelings for her. But he needed to return to the capital before his father’s health deteriorated further. And once he left, it would be difficult to come back a second time. No one could replace him in his duties.

“Have you decided about defecting?”

Jenkins had been tempting Evelyn to defect to the Peshar Empire for some time. Since Evelyn liked free things, he particularly emphasized that aspect.

“The country will provide housing and living expenses, so don’t worry. You said you were banished here anyway, right? It’s dangerous for a commoner who beat up a noble.”

“That’s true, but… I can’t just abandon my country.”

‘With enough money, couldn’t you abandon such things?’

How could he make Evelyn live in the Peshar Empire? Jenkins was desperate, as always.

“…Or I could arrange for you to be adopted by a noble family? Money can make anything possible. You could start as a noble in the Peshar Empire. What do you think?”

Jenkins spoke confidently. Anyone would be tempted by such an offer. Who would refuse becoming a noble when born a commoner?

But Evelyn shook her head.

“…No thanks. I have family in the Astia Empire.”

“Bring your family too. I’ll make sure they live more luxuriously than they do now.”

“No. That’s not possible.”

Evelyn spoke firmly. Jenkins felt his heart growing cold like the cooling water. No matter how he tried to persuade her, Evelyn wouldn’t give in. Why? Despite living in poverty, being a commoner, and liking free things, why wouldn’t she defect?

‘Perhaps she’s pretending to like me while actually disliking me? Is she toying with me?’

Evelyn had never sought him out first. It was always him chasing after her, feeling desperate. Maybe this cunning woman was just testing him.

“More importantly, are you going back to the capital of Peshar?”

At Evelyn’s words, Jenkins frowned.

“Not yet… But once I go to the capital of Peshar, I can’t return here. …Evelyn, I wish you’d make a decision quickly.”

He didn’t necessarily want to marry her, but he regretted the thought of parting without accomplishing anything with her. At least if she defected, they could meet a few times before eventually parting.

But another thought occurred to him. Perhaps this regret stemmed from her being from Astia? Once he left, they would likely never meet again.

Evelyn stood up abruptly, causing water to spill over the edge of the tub.

“I’m done washing.”

She spoke matter-of-factly and began drying herself with a towel from a small basket. Just as she put on her undergarments and was about to dress further, Jenkins blocked her path. He wrapped his arms around her waist and thrust his tongue into her mouth.

Their n*ked bodies touched. Yet Evelyn didn’t resist and entwined her tongue with his. Jenkins gently massaged her br*asts before sliding his hand downward. His fingers wandered between her thighs after passing over her slender abdomen, then slipped inside her undergarments.

Inside her undergarments, he easily achieved his goal. After rubbing the soft silver pubic hair he had seen earlier in the bath with his palm, he inserted his thick middle finger into her v*gina. Evelyn’s body twitched.

“Nngh…!”

Hearing her moan that seemed to suppress pain, Jenkins inserted two fingers.

“Jen…kins!”

Jenkins licked her ear and whispered:

“Evelyn. Do you want to part ways with me like this?”

“…Haa. I’m sorry, Jenkins. We…”

“We what? We’re just from enemy countries. That can be easily resolved if you defect, right? What’s the problem?”

His fingers mercilessly scratched inside her tight v*gina. Jenkins licked her neck and tried to persuade her again.

“You know I have wealth, Evelyn. I can easily support just one person like you.”

“Ungh… Jenkins. I…”

“Huff… What? I can’t hold back anymore.”

Jenkins laid Evelyn on the floor. After removing her undergarments and spreading her thighs, he admired what was revealed. His manhood ached painfully just from seeing her face, let alone her n*ked body. But he felt he needed to prepare her, since this was clearly her first time.

After moistening his lips with his tongue, he lowered his head.

“Ah…!”

Jenkins’ tongue slowly licked Evelyn’s private parts. He teased not only her entrance but also her small cl*toris with his teeth. Evelyn’s body squirmed. Being her first s*xual experience, she seemed quite flustered.

Evelyn’s purple eyes met his blue ones. Jenkins deliberately sucked her private parts with loud noises.

“Stop…! Mmng, hah…!”

Her purple eyes darkened, perhaps from pain. Jenkins’ two fingers slowly explored inside her.

“Hnnngh…!”

As he licked her cl*toris while his fingers moved in and out, Evelyn’s legs tensed.

“Ah, no…! Hnh. Some-something’s coming out…!”

Jenkins smiled and grazed her cl*toris with his teeth. Instantly, Evelyn’s legs stiffened.

“Hnnnngh…!”

Her legs curled up, and fluid flowed from inside her.

Evelyn went limp. Her entire body seemed to relax, all strength drained. Jenkins, finding something delicious, continued licking and sucking her private parts for quite some time.

“Hnn, stop…”

Feeling another org*sm approaching, Evelyn firmly grabbed Jenkins’ blonde hair. His fine golden hair scattered between her fingers.

Jenkins raised his head. His blue eyes were chillingly cold.
