One week later.

Alice’s brown hair flowed down to her shoulders, and her black eyes were dark like the night sky. Her dress wrapped tightly around her entire body from neck to ankle.

The Countess clicked her tongue when she saw Alice’s large br*asts evident even through her clothes.

“So Noel was a woman…?”

“Yes, Mother.”

Khalid showed Alice to his mother at the Walsh family mansion. Alice sat on the sofa, flinching whenever Khalid touched her bottom from beside her. With her legs trembling, Alice didn’t appear to be in good condition.

Inside her womanhood was an object carved to the exact size of Khalid’s manhood. It was meant as a consideration for her who always seemed to be in pain, though whether Alice would see it that way was questionable.

“…So you want to make her your concubine?”

“Yes. I heard that Noel’s parents and younger brother were taken to Helgrip as slaves. In exchange for freeing them, Noel has agreed to become my concubine. As a slave, of course.”

Khalid smiled happily. Looking at her son with his healthy complexion, Countess Vanessa nodded.

“Very well. That amount of money can be arranged quickly. …But if Daphne learns you have a concubine, she might refuse to marry you.”

“Then I can keep Noel at the villa.”

“…What?”

“I heard Blake keeps slaves at his villa and only visits when he needs to satisfy his s*xual urges.”

“Oh?”

This wasn’t something one would expect from a son who had loved Alice enough to fall ill with lovesickness. Yet Khalid looked extremely satisfied.

“Noel is my slave now. I should manage her properly.”

“…What about making her your concubine?”

“It doesn’t matter if I do that after marrying Daphne.”

Khalid was planning to keep Alice at the villa anyway.

He fondled Alice’s trembling bottom once more.

“I understand. Then I’ll leave Noel to you.”

“Thank you, Mother.”

Vanessa no longer paid attention to Alice, who had now become her son’s concubine. Her son would surely handle everything well. At least it wasn’t sodomy, right? Though the girl had deceived them impudently, everything had worked out in the end.

In the carriage heading toward Bonagar Forest, Khalid removed Alice’s panties. He wanted to check if the object was still properly inside her. When he removed the panties, the object started to come out, and Khalid quickly grabbed it.

“…You shouldn’t let it come out, Alice. You need to tighten your v*gina more so it doesn’t slip out. Do I have to tell you even this?”

“Sob….”

Khalid chuckled and grabbed the end of the object, inserting it back into Alice and then pulling it out again. As he repeated this action, Alice looked at Khalid and pleaded.

“Nnh. Lord Khalid. …It hurts too much. It’s hard… and uncomfortable.”

Alice’s breath brushed against Khalid’s ear. His ears turned bright red, and he bit his lip.

“…Noel.”

“Lord Khalid…. Nngh. Please. Take it out. Sob.”

Khalid grabbed Alice’s hair and pulled it tight, lifting her chin before him. He bit her slender neck, which looked delicate like a deer’s.

“Ack…!”

“Haa…. Be quiet. Please.”

Khalid’s member inside his pants became painfully stiff. He took out the hard, grotesque thing and rubbed it against Alice’s thigh. Cooper’s fluid oozed abundantly from the tip.

“…Do you want to be taken in the carriage?”

“No….”

With Alice’s firm voice, her inscrutable black eyes looked down at Khalid.

Khalid sometimes thought Alice’s gaze was impertinent. She still thought she was a commoner. This was the trouble with those who weren’t born slaves.

Khalid’s hand pulled out the object that had been inside Alice.

“Hnng.”

As the object that had forcibly expanded her insides was removed, Alice could finally breathe. However, Khalid’s member filled her again.

“Ah…! Hnng…!”

With every shake of the carriage, the manhood inside her mercilessly scraped her insides. In the seated position, his manhood was deeply buried to the root inside her.

“Urgh.”

When Alice buried her face in Khalid’s shoulder, he grabbed her b*ttocks and began thrusting vigorously.

“Whoo…!”

“Ah! Hmm…! Lord Khal…id. Sob.”

When Khalid’s organ entered her, the inside of her v*gina itched madly. Love juices flowed with squelching sounds. Now, rather than pain, she wanted him to thrust deeper. Alice unconsciously moved her hips.

“Haa…! Sob. Ahng. Too… too deep…! Nngh.”

Khalid licked Alice’s br*asts and said subtly.

“…You don’t like it deep?”

“I like… it. Sob. Ha…ang! Aah.”

Thump, thump. Sweat ran down Khalid’s forehead. Alice simply surrendered her body to him, her legs trembling. Khalid kissed Alice while diligently thrusting. Alice’s eyes were slightly unfocused.

‘Now you won’t be able to escape.’

There was also the option of using aphrodisiacs, but that would damage her body.

Although Alice followed him during their intimate moments, her eyes always yearned for freedom otherwise. She had once abandoned him to become a commoner. There was no law saying she wouldn’t abandon him twice.

‘How can I keep you by my side forever?’

She couldn’t run away now that she had become a slave, but he still felt uneasy. Khalid buried his face in Alice’s shoulder while ej*culating inside her.

‘D*mn…. I like you too much, Noel.’

Khalid loved Alice too much to destroy her. That’s why he didn’t want to let her out of his arms even more.

“Then I’ll be back.”

“…Yes, Lord Khalid. …But when will my parents and brother….”

n*ked in bed, Alice hurriedly grabbed Khalid’s suit. The freshly ironed suit became wrinkled. Alice was startled and let go.

The elderly maid who ironed the clothes frowned, but Khalid held Alice’s face with both hands and kissed her cheek.

“I’ve arranged to pay the ransom to Helgrip tomorrow. They’ll be sent directly to their hometown.”

“…Thank you.”

“Noel. Today….”

Today he would announce his engagement to Daphne, the daughter of Marquis Burton. Looking at Alice before him, Khalid felt a moment of guilt.

‘I like Noel, is it okay for me to marry another woman?’

No matter how many times he embraced Alice, it wasn’t enough to quench his thirst.

Though he called her a slave, Khalid loved Alice more than anyone. He wanted to see her, hold her, and possess her every day.

‘If this isn’t love, what is?’

Khalid stroked the head of Alice, who was looking at him n*ked.

“I’ll be back soon.”

“…Yes.”

“You’ll wait for me, right?”

“…”

Alice was silent. Khalid became a little anxious whenever this happened. He had claimed Alice’s body, but he hadn’t yet claimed her heart. He knew she pitied him. And that he was exploiting that feeling.

Alice nodded slightly. Khalid smiled brightly and kissed her lips.

After Khalid left, the elderly maid threw clothes at Alice.

“Surely you’re not going to stay n*ked? Put some clothes on!”

“…Yes.”

The elderly maid was a woman sent by the Countess. The young maid who had worked there before was nowhere to be seen, perhaps fired under the pretext of going on vacation. The strict maid, who appeared to be in her 60s, clicked her tongue while looking at Alice.

“My goodness. Selling your body so disgustingly. Tsk tsk. Who would want to live like that?”

Alice’s face reddened at her words. Her chest, stomach, and thighs were covered with bite marks from Khalid, and s*men flowed down between her legs. The elderly maid always glared at Alice with contempt.

“What are you doing? Hurry up and wash! You should dress properly!”

“…Yes.”

When Khalid was present, she was careful with Alice, but when he was gone, she treated her like a slave. It couldn’t be helped since Alice wasn’t yet recognized as Khalid’s concubine. Alice was just the young master’s bed slave. That was even lower than a concubine.

Alice washed her body with a towel soaked in cold water. No matter how much she washed, her defiled body couldn’t become clean.

‘…But tomorrow my parents and siblings will be freed.’

Alice sighed and came out.

The maid served food on her plate. When she was with Khalid, she ate the same food as him, but the food given to her when he wasn’t around was hardly bearable to look at.

“Eat.”

“…”

Today there was a dead mouse on the plate.

Although Countess Vanessa recognized Alice as a concubine in front of her son, she seemed to want to drive her away even more. Otherwise, there would be no reason for her minion, the maid, to go this far.

Alice put down her fork. No matter how hungry she was, eating a mouse would make her sick and possibly kill her.

“I don’t have an appetite.”

“Tsk. Not knowing how precious food is.”

The maid clicked her tongue as she cleared away the plate with the dead mouse.

Alice lay on Khalid’s bed, having skipped dinner. Her stomach churned, and she began to feel nauseous again. Then suddenly a thought occurred to her.

‘Did I have my period this month?’

She hadn’t had it since before coming here. No, she hadn’t had her period since her first encounter with Khalid.

‘No way…. That can’t be. Right, not much time has passed yet, so I’ll have it soon.’

Menstruation is greatly affected by psychological factors and environment, so it must be because she was going through a difficult time. Alice calmed her anxious heart and closed her eyes. With Khalid gone, she thought she would fall asleep early.
