Evelyn swung her wooden sword in the garden and wiped the sweat from her forehead with a towel. 

Since this palace also belonged to the harem, women walking in the public buildings would sometimes be startled when they encountered Evelyn. Some would admire her and steal glances, blushing when their eyes met with Evelyn’s.

At first, it had been uncomfortable to watch even for the same s*x since she was completely n*ked, but they also walked around n*ked or wearing lewd underwear, so she had become immune to it.

“Lady Evelyn, the sun is setting now!”

At the maid’s words, Evelyn looked up. When the sun set, she had to go inside the palace, wash herself, and put on the underwear Jenkins had given her. Just thinking about having to wear those rags made her irritated.

‘She wondered if she was really carrying his child…’

If that were the case, she couldn’t exert any power with the woman who would become empress already decided.

More than that, hearing that Hector was alive made her want to meet him. Given Hector’s personality, he wouldn’t want to become a vassal state of the Peshar Empire. Evelyn looked at her maid and said.

“Can you go outside the castle?”

The young maid who was attending to Evelyn alone shook her head.

“No.”

“Then is there someone else who can go outside?”

The maid shook her head vigorously, then spoke like something had occurred to her.

“All the maids in the Empress Dowager’s palace can go outside.”

“…Really?”

“Yes. Since the previous emperor passed away, they’re free. The Empress Dowager’s maids wear golden sashes around their waists, which is a sign that they were the previous emperor’s women. Since the previous emperor died, many left, but those who remain are there to receive wages. The Empress Dowager also needs people to serve her, so she keeps them.”

“…I see?”

If she could obtain that golden sash, didn’t that mean she could also go out? As long as the Empress Dowager didn’t leave the harem, she would leave the maids wearing sashes alone, so it seemed she could escape easily. But first, she needed to know whether she was pregnant.

She was confident because of the Empress Dowager’s words, but she wanted to hear it directly from a physician.

“Call a physician to the palace. I need to know for certain whether I’m pregnant or not.”

“Yes!”

After returning to the palace, Evelyn lay on the bed. There were more than ten maids in the palace, and they would look at her with eyes that monitored what Evelyn was doing. However, when going to meet the Empress Dowager, she only brought one person along.

‘That’s the only time to go out…’

But even if she went out, if knights were tailing her, wouldn’t meeting Hector put him in more danger? There was no guarantee it wouldn’t turn out like the Turble Guild.

‘What should she do? It might be better not to meet him.’

If it would put him in danger instead, it would be better not to meet at all. Then a physician knocked on the door.

“Come in…!”

Evelyn was shocked to see the physician’s face. A handsome face with red hair and blue eyes. How could she forget? Andrew Smith. He was Marquis Smith’s son. He smiled slyly seeing Evelyn wearing a cloak.

“You called for me?”

Even though this was the harem, it seemed men could enter. Ian had done so, and Andrew as well. But unlike Ian, Andrew was Hector’s close friend and loyal subordinate. She thought he might have come with something to convey.

The maid said with a troubled expression.

“There’s a physician in charge of the harem, but she’s not feeling well today and absolutely cannot come out. So they sent a trainee physician. Originally, male entry is strictly restricted, but there’s no choice.”

That meant the physician originally in charge of the harem was female.

“I’m Milan Spencer, a trainee physician.”

Speaking with his 180cm height and handsome face, the maids blushed. They were all the emperor’s women, but being chosen was like plucking stars from the sky. For that reason, the harem welcomed visits from men.

“…I’ll speak with the physician. Everyone leave.”

In principle, she shouldn’t be alone with any man except the emperor, but the maids couldn’t refuse Evelyn’s command. Betsy, the head maid who was the only one who refused Evelyn’s orders, was not present. After everyone left, Evelyn glared at Andrew.

Andrew chuckled and took out a stethoscope. At that sight, Evelyn’s eyebrow rose slightly.

“…Are you joking right now?”

“What are you talking about? I came very earnestly to examine you.”

As soon as the maids disappeared, Andrew started speaking informally. Since he usually did so, it wasn’t awkward, but somehow it felt unpleasant.

“Ha… Just state your business?”

Andrew was wearing glasses that didn’t suit him. His usually fierce face looked softened because of the glasses. He approached Evelyn who was sitting on the bed.

“Take off the cloak.”

“…I don’t want to?”

Andrew took out a medical license from his coat and showed it to her.

“…I’m a trainee doctor, but I have a license too. You want to get examined, don’t you?”

“Ha…”

She was amazed that he, who held a knight’s title, had somehow obtained a Peshar medical license.

Evelyn, who had been glaring at Andrew, reluctantly took off her cloak. When she removed the cloak, her n*ked body without a thread of clothing was revealed. Andrew watched that sight with satisfaction.

However, his eyes paused momentarily seeing the Peshar royal crest carved on her neck. His hand stroked her neck.

“This is…”

“A mark showing I’m a slave of the Peshar royal family.”

“Hmm. The emperor’s name is carved on your wrist. Really…”

Andrew’s teeth bit down on her wrist like he wanted to devour it. When Evelyn frowned from the pain, he stuck out his tongue and licked the wound.

“You’re a woman with many sins, Evelyn.”

“Stop…!”

When Evelyn swung her fist, Andrew laughed and dodged. He skillfully avoided it and took her pulse with his finger.

“I got a medical license to enter this place. It’s not a lie. …Hmm.”

Andrew made a slightly serious expression, then placed the stethoscope on the center of her chest. 

Then he tilted his head and placed the stethoscope on each n*pple, rubbing mischievously. When the cold stethoscope touched her, Evelyn’s body flinched.

“…What are you doing right now?”

“Examining you.”

“Ha…”

Evelyn clenched her fist. She tried to endure it, but Andrew’s hand gradually moved downward. He placed the stethoscope on her belly and made quite a serious expression.

“Hmm…”

“Why? What is it?”

“I need to examine more.”

“?”

Going below her belly, his hand touched her silver pubic hair. When Evelyn glared, Andrew shrugged.

“Alright. I’ll put on gloves, okay?”

“That’s not the problem. Why there…”

Wearing gloves, he suddenly inserted his finger into Evelyn’s v*gina. The unique feeling of leather was felt below as his finger scraped her vaginal walls.

“What are you… doing!”

She tried to escape, but Evelyn was already pinned under him. No matter how much she struggled, she couldn’t escape Andrew’s body. Andrew’s finger moved in and out while his tongue swallowed Evelyn’s n*pple.

“Ugh…!”

Watching him s*ck her n*pple with slurping sounds, Evelyn covered her mouth. She was scared that some m*an might escape.

“Don’t do this! You bastard…! Are you crazy wanting to die? Just state your business.”

“If you let me do it once, I’ll tell you.”

“…What?”

Evelyn looked up at Andrew with an absurd expression. He rubbed his face against her chest.

“You must have been embraced by the emperor countless times, right? …I risked my life to enter this place, can’t you do this much?”

“Are you crazy?”

“Heh. I’m not crazy though?”

Evelyn reached to pull the bell cord. Then Andrew licked her ear with his tongue and whispered softly.

“Aren’t you curious what Hector asked me to do?”

“…Crazy.”

In the end, Evelyn couldn’t pull the bell cord. Unable to call a maid, when she looked at Andrew, he chuckled.

“Spread your legs and hold them with your hands. Evelyn.”

She suddenly remembered what happened with Ian Harper.

‘Really, this guy and that guy…!’

But unlike Ian who was a traitor, the words Andrew conveyed would be true. He had been in Astia until she boarded the carriage to get married. And he was Hector’s loyal subordinate.

Evelyn spread her legs and held her ankles with her hands. She blushed at the embarrassing position. Every time Andrew stared intently, it seemed like love juices were dripping from her spread p*ssy. Andrew slowly took off his pants.

The dark red mass she had seen before was there. Andrew pushed his thing into her p*ssy just like that. When it went in easily, he smiled.

“How often have you been doing it? It’s loose…”

“If you don’t like it, don’t do it.”

“Who said I didn’t like it?”

Having entered enemy territory, far from keeping a low profile, Andrew enthusiastically moved his hips. Every time his hard gl*ns scraped her vaginal walls, Evelyn gritted her teeth. Later, when she bit her lips to hold back m*ans, Andrew kissed her.

The sounds of swallowing saliva and sucking tongues with slurping sounds were obscenely audible. Along with the thumping sounds of pelvises colliding, his c*ck entered even deeper with squelching sounds.

“Ugh, mmph…!”

“Haah… Evelyn.”

Andrew didn’t stop kissing while thrusting below. She worried her lips might swell at this rate.

Strength left her arms and Evelyn eventually let go of her legs. Andrew seized the moment and made her close her legs, then thr*st his c*ck inside again.

“Ugh…!”

Was it because her legs were closed? His c*ck moved in and out, brushing her cl*toris. At that feeling, Evelyn’s eyes became hazy. After it repeated several times, strength entered her legs.

‘I shouldn’t feel good…!’

“Ah, mmm… No… hng.”

Andrew hugged Evelyn’s body tightly. Kissing her lips, he thr*st his c*ck deep inside.

“Mmph…!”

Suddenly her v*gina squeezed his c*ck tightly and love juices gushed out from inside. At the same time, Andrew also seemed excited as his hip movements quickened.

“Ugh… I’m going to… c*m…!”

“Ah…!”

Without time to say no, Andrew *jaculated inside her v*gina. Even after ejaculating, he rubbed his c*ck against her vaginal walls for a while. He made lingering movements and kissed Evelyn’s lips again.

“Whew… Evelyn, that was so good.”

Evelyn closed her eyes tightly looking at Andrew who had *jaculated inside her. She was scared of what would happen if Jenkins found out. Andrew whispered in her ear.

“I’ll convey what Hector said.”

The connection was still there, making it uncomfortable.

“Traitor. Don’t even think about meeting me again. That’s what he said.”

“…”

Evelyn’s eyes widened. Andrew finally pulled out his c*ck and observed the s*men flowing out from inside her v*gina. Evelyn still had an expression of disbelief.

“If it’s about the Turble Guild incident, Ian Harper was the traitor. I’m not…!”

“…Evelyn. Hector doesn’t need your help. Should I tell you clearly? He said he would kill you if he met you. You met Jenkins, the current Peshar Emperor, at the border and had a romance, didn’t you? So you might have betrayed Hector and acted as a spy.”

“We didn’t know each other. Jenkins didn’t know I was Astia’s princess either, and I didn’t…”

“Hector won’t believe those words. …And I also hope you forget Hector and be faithful to your current life.”

“No, I…”

“You’re pregnant. Evelyn. …The child’s father must be the Peshar Emperor. Isn’t that right?”

Evelyn stroked her slightly protruding belly. She couldn’t believe Andrew’s words.

“Am I really pregnant?”

“Yes. My medical license is real, so you can trust it. However, I did pay some under-the-table money to expedite the process.”
