Halif Queen (2)

‘The Halif Queen’s habitat is the grand hall of the abandoned church. If she tries to go outside, she’ll likely try to drag Young Master Ethan back inside by any means, so it’s best to play along and listen to the monster’s words at first.’

“No monsters seem to be appearing. Should we head back soon?”

“W-well, how about waiting just a little longer? We’ve barely been here for ten minutes, Young Master Ethan.”

“Alright, let’s wait a bit more then.”

Recalling the conversation he had with Lillith before entering the abandoned church, Ethan pretended to obediently listen to the monster’s words.

Meanwhile, the Halif Queen, who had possessed Lillith’s body, observed Ethan’s reaction while internally battling Lillith, whose consciousness was still intact.

‘You damn bitch. You dare steal my body? Do you have a death wish?’

‘What is wrong with this person? Why is her ego so strong? Normally, women faint the moment I possess them….’

The grand hall of the abandoned church, which was practically her home, was a place adventurers frequently visited to hunt her down.

Whenever a group of at least one man and one woman entered, she would possess the woman’s body and engage in relations with the man-a form of amusement she had enjoyed most since her death.

‘Connecting the fates of lovers who are too hesitant to confess is a miracle I must perform, even in death.’

Of course, the Halif Queen also enjoyed herself ‘a little’ in the process, so it was a win-win.

In truth, she never possessed the body of a woman who held no affection for the man in question-a final act of conscience from someone who had lived her life as a nun.

‘I could tell from the moment I entered that this woman named Lillith has feelings for this man named Ethan. And judging by her attire, she’s undoubtedly a maid. Given that she addresses him as “Young Master,” this Ethan must be a nobleman she serves.

A forbidden love between a noble young master and his personal maid-how beautiful and fateful. This is exactly the kind of love I must help bring to fruition.’

The Halif Queen’s usual method of seduction was to examine the memories of the body she possessed and use them to guide the conversation in the most favorable direction.

She would recall the man’s words-things most women would overlook or forget-to discern his interests and preferences, or even pick up on secret fetishes he wouldn’t dare share with others, using them to seduce him while borrowing another’s body.

‘Give me back my body right now, you damn slut!’

‘Your resistance is too fierce. I don’t know how to handle this….’

When the host’s consciousness remained this strong, she couldn’t read their memories, so the Halif Queen had to rely solely on visible information to deduce the relationship between the man before her and the body she possessed.

‘At the very least, this man named Ethan definitely has feelings for the owner of this body. The affection in his eyes is unmistakable.’

If that was the case, perhaps just a little seduction would be enough to make him take the initiative.

Considering the difference in their statuses-a young master and his personal maid-the possibility seemed all the more plausible. Cautiously, she attempted physical contact with Ethan.

-Grab.

“……Huh?”

“…Mmm.”

The first act of skinship was abruptly holding his hand.

Though the Halif Queen couldn’t quite gauge the extent of Lillith and Ethan’s relationship, she assumed that, at most, they had only held hands.

After all, the status gap between a young master and his personal maid made it difficult for them to engage in anything more intimate. Moreover, from the way they looked at each other before she possessed Lillith, she sensed the sweet, innocent aura of first love.

While she couldn’t speak for Lillith, this Ethan had such pure eyes that he was undoubtedly a virgin with little to no experience in physical intimacy with the opposite sex.

‘Inexperienced people tend to get flustered even by small acts of skinship like this.’

Smirking inwardly, she held Ethan’s hand, but his reaction was more indifferent than she expected. Assuming they had at least held hands before, she quickly changed tactics.

-Stumble.

“Ah, ouch!”

Pretending to trip while walking, she deliberately fell.

Hearing her cry, Ethan swiftly caught her before she hit the ground.

“Wh-what happened?!”

“S-sorry… I think I twisted my ankle….”

“Are you okay? Did you hurt yourself badly?”

“N-no, it’s not that bad… Just a slight sprain….”

-Thud.

The moment she mentioned her ankle, Ethan immediately knelt and turned his back to her without hesitation.

Unlike the rough adventurers she was used to, his considerate behavior-befitting an innocent academy student and noble young master-made the Halif Queen smile inwardly.

‘As expected of an academy student, his soul is so pure. Ah, if only I could move freely, I’d go to the academy and help more people find love.’

Part of her wanted to lean against his broad back, but doing so would allow him to carry her out of the church.

As a lingering spirit bound to the abandoned church for years, the Halif Queen couldn’t leave its premises. Suppressing her tears, she had no choice but to decline Ethan’s kindness.

“What’s wrong? Aren’t you going to get on?”

“N-no… I don’t want to burden you, Young Master Ethan….”

“It’s fine, I don’t mind.”

“B-but there are still monsters outside the grand hall. If your arms aren’t free, it’ll be dangerous. C-could we rest here for a bit before heading back, Young Master Ethan?”

Naturally seductive, she pointed to a long bench in the abandoned church’s grand hall.

Seeing her reaction, Ethan hesitated briefly before deciding to play along with Lillith’s act a little longer.

“Alright, let’s do that.”

“C-could you help me over there, Young Master Ethan?”

“…Lean on me.”

Without hesitation, Ethan offered his shoulder, and the Halif Queen took the opportunity to press her body against him.

Deliberately using the physical advantages of Lillith’s body, she leaned in close-her ample chest pressing against him. The moment they touched, she noticed Ethan’s face redden slightly.

‘Good reaction. I thought their relationship might be something indecent, like a sexual service maid, but if that were the case, he wouldn’t blush like this now.’

The Halif Queen had completely misjudged their relationship, but there was no way for her to realize her mistake.

The only way to correct this misunderstanding was to access Lillith’s memories, but Lillith’s consciousness was still fiercely resisting her, preventing her from doing so.

‘Give me back my body, you bitch!! Get away from Ethan, you whore!!’

‘For someone with such an innocent appearance, your mouth is really foul.’

She must be impatient, thinking I’ll ruin her pure relationship with the young master. In the end, once she and the young master become lovers, she’ll thank me.

Even if she was misunderstood, the Halif Queen believed it was her role to connect pure love between men and women. Undeterred, she intensified her efforts to seduce Ethan.

“Here, rest here.”

“Thank you, Young Master Ethan.”

“How’s your ankle? Will it really heal if you just stay still?”

“…I’m not sure. But I’m a little scared, so… could you check it for me, Young Master Ethan?”

“…Alright.”

Ethan responded calmly when she asked him to look at her ankle, surprising her. She had expected him to be more flustered.

Perhaps his concern for her outweighed any embarrassment. His reaction only made him seem even more pure, which pleased the Halif Queen.

‘She’s wearing stockings with garters… This opens up another avenue for seduction.’

Thinking this, she began to lift her skirt slightly, but when her eyes met Ethan’s, she hastily pulled it back down.

Then, with a flushed face, she continued her act, timidly making another request to Ethan, who was staring at her blankly.

“Uh, how long are you going to stare, Young Master Ethan? I-it’s a little embarrassing if you look at me like that….”

“…Sorry, I’ll look away.”

Falling for her act, Ethan belatedly averted his gaze.

She had thought it strange that he was staring so blatantly as she removed her stockings, but his delayed reaction suggested he had simply been momentarily dazed.

Maybe it was the first time he had seen a girl undressing in front of him, so he couldn’t control his gaze.

‘Given how pure he is, he’s probably never had sex before. He might not have even seen a woman’s breasts.’

And yet, he had such a beautiful, voluptuous personal maid by his side.

Just how pure-hearted and devoted to her must he be for their relationship to remain like this?

‘I have no choice. For the sake of this young master who truly loves the owner of this body, I must teach him about “women.”‘

Though she didn’t particularly discriminate against experienced men, the Halif Queen had a slight preference for pure virgins. Ethan’s innocence kept exciting her more and more.

…Little did she know, Ethan had already experienced every intimate act lovers could share with Lillith-including lewd behaviors even couples rarely engaged in. But compared to the body’s owner, the relatively innocent Halif Queen had no way of realizing this.
