Episode 56

“Uhm, well, then… Ah, I understand. Well, then I will proceed as you ordered…”

An atmosphere of embarrassment spreads among the maids.

That’s because Carmel’s preferred clothes basically reveal a lot of her body.

Even with underwear on, it’s breathtaking, but when you wear it on your bare body, it looks even more incredible.

Still, the maids didn’t say anything more than that. No matter how strange the command was, it was probably because of the anxiety that hysteria might break out if they complained any further.

However, Carmel was alone, trembling in shame and glaring at me with angry eyes.

What a disturbing look. It seems like he has completely forgotten about the humiliation he suffered during the day, and his rebellious spirit has bloomed again.

I said with a smile.

“Ah, I’ve heard that too, Mother. I’m sure it’s said that northern peoples have that kind of health method. Is that so, mother?”

Sparks flew from Carmel’s eyes. But then he closed his molars and let out a short sigh.

“…right.”

It almost sounds like a growl.

Of course, my counter-argument didn’t have much effect. That’s right, the maids aren’t stupid, and there’s no way they can understand this excuse. But at least it can fulfill the cause.

However, the strange situation of refusing to wear underwear while sharing someone else’s room. In order to prevent strange rumors from spreading among maids, you need at least some justification.

That’s probably why Carmel confirmed what I said.

However, he is from a northern ethnic group. This is a critical point for Carmel. There was no way I wouldn’t be outraged that it was highlighted in such a shameful way.

It’s quite amazing to see him trying so hard to keep his conditions. Of course, if I didn’t, I would have been destroyed, so I had no choice.

The maids soon finished dressing Carmel without underwear. It looks like a gown made of silk, with the waist strap tightened as much as possible to prevent it from loosening.

Even so, it is impossible to avoid having the outline of the body stand out. Carmel’s body, which was only wrapped in a thin cloth, felt more erotic than usual.

Well, the actual area covered may not be that much of a difference.

However, psychologically, it would be completely different with and without underwear. It is only one layer different from the naked body.

Moreover, this outfit is full of loopholes. At that level, unfortunate exposure accidents can occur in everyday life.

Following Carmel’s instructions, the maids politely left the room. Only me and Carmel were left in the room.

“You look great, Mother. It’s exactly what I imagined. How about maintaining that policy even after I leave?”

“…Hmph…”

Carmel, frowning in displeasure, walked towards the sofa with a bolder step than usual. The sitting posture was also far from the modesty that came from the fact that he was not wearing underwear.

It’s as if he’s trying to show that this insidious bullying has no effect on him.

I heard this side of him is cute too. Don’t you know that even if I come out like that, it’s just an eyesore to me?

While I was appreciating Carmel’s appearance with a smile on my face, Carmel spoke up.

“With this, the promise… is kept, right?”

A crystal glass placed on the table in front of the sofa is filled with a transparent reddish-brown drink. Did I swallow a bitter drink like this every time I was hit in the middle of the night before? Well, maybe I just felt like drinking.

“Of course. I will never mention that box or its contents to anyone. I will definitely keep the deal I made with my mother.”

As I said that, my eyes turned directly to the box in question. Carmel also pretended to drink and was following his gaze with her eyes.

After downing a glass of brandy in one shot, Carmel looked straight at me and said.

“Let me ask you something, Sarah. How did you… what was in there… no, how did you realize that that box was strange?”

Maybe it’s because he’s drunk, but he asks more directly than usual. It seems that the possibility that I reached that box by accident has already been completely ruled out.

Of course, you have no obligation to answer me. As before, you can wrap it around appropriately.

However, it is not bad that Carmel brought up this topic on her own. With this transaction, it has become difficult to find out what is inside the box and how to unlock it. It is best to infer from the information available from Carmel herself.

“Of course it’s not a coincidence. But if you really want to hear it, I guess I should ask you a question too. What on earth is in that box?”

Offer to exchange information. This would be a good service on my part. At least I went in with the knowledge that I didn’t know what was inside the box.

But instead of answering immediately, Carmel refilled the empty glass. And I spoke while looking at the lapping red-brown water, not at myself.

“I can’t tell you that.”

Hmm… was my judgment wrong? The only thing I can mobilize in this room is my own abilities. I thought you would definitely accept it.

Well, if the contents of the box were enormous and could mean not only losing her status as queen but also immediate execution, then that could be possible. I don’t know what something like that could be.

While I was lost in thought for a moment, Carmel was swallowing brandy down her throat at a slower pace than before.

After drinking one drink and then another, Carmel stood up. Carmel at night, when the alcohol started to turn, looked more bewitching than during the day.

“-But I’m willing to make a deal.”

“If it is a transaction…?”

“If you just answered my question… I’ll take off this belt.”

“…Carmel…?”

For a moment, I couldn’t believe my ears.

A gown is basically a structure that is open in the front. The only thing holding it together is that belt.

Solving it means revealing all your shameful parts in front of me. Also at your own request.

This is the first time something like this has happened. Of course, like in the case of Rika, Carmel has proposed a deal on her own. However, given the circumstances, it was closer to threats or coercion.

This is the first time that Carmel has proposed a deal as voluntarily as it did now.

You have already been humiliated by me several times. Is the psychological resistance now low enough to ask for it yourself? As if showing your naked body is no big deal?

While I was dazed for a moment by the unexpected situation, Carmel touched her hair with her hand and asked.

“I don’t like it?”

“Oh, no, wait a minute, think about it…”

Carmel let out an excited breath typical of a drunk person. The sight of Carmel, bathed in intoxication and moonlight, was so beautiful that it made something in my heart boil.

As she moves her body, her naturally opened chest shows a glimpse of her ample breasts, tempting me. One leg, extending out through the gap in the gown and revealing its perfect figure, looks so smooth.

No, no, come to your senses.

Of course, the desire to see Carmel naked is as strong as a chimney. Because my only reward is to massage that sexy body with my eyes and hands.

But the initiative must always belong to me alone. It’s like training a dog, so to speak. Giving a treat when the dog hears the owner’s command ‘sit’ is completely different from asking a dog for a treat by sitting down on his own.

So, I plan to decline Carmel’s offer. With a heart that seems to shed bloody tears.

“Unfortunately, I will decline that transaction, mother.”

“Are you sure it’s okay? You will regret it…”

A bewitching voice that seems to have a heart mark at the end of its words. Is Carmel trying to seduce with all her heart this much? It felt like the magic of seduction was flowing through that voice.

The hand that wasn’t holding the glass soon goes to the belt. There was a confident smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he knew the value of his appearance.

And the moment I fiddled with the belt, as if testing my patience, Carmel’s expression changed.

“…Ah…?”

“Mother?”

Like someone who woke up in the middle of a dream, Carmel looked down at her disheveled body and glass of alcohol with a blank expression on her face. And that face quickly changed to one of astonishment.

“Now, now, wait… what did I… w-what did I do…! Se, sera, you…!”

Why me…?

Carmel glared at me with extreme anger on her face. Then he threw the glass he was holding in the distance and broke it.

“What did you put in the alcohol…? Or magic…? No, that can’t be… What have you done to me? Answer me, Sarah!”

“Hey, mother? I think there is some misunderstanding…”

I think I understand what the misunderstanding was. They probably think I manipulated them through mental manipulation or hypnosis.

Carmel felt around her body as if checking to see if anything strange had happened to her. The sight was quite erotic, but I just stared at it in silence.

“Magic that directly penetrates the heart… Unless you have a grimoire, such a thing… Boo, it’s impossible, it’s impossible…”

“Mother, calm down and listen to me. If I had such great power, wouldn’t I have used it in a more direct way than just now?

I spoke in as calm a voice as possible. Carmel pulled the front of her gown to cover her body and listened to me without casting a suspicious eye.

“Yes… but…”

Fortunately, Carmel also seemed to be calming down little by little. Carmel calmed down her rapid breathing and asked me carefully.

“Did you really not do anything? In my body… in my heart…”

“Yes. I swear to the goddess I didn’t do anything.”

“Well, then just now…”

“Maybe it’s because you drink too much and too quickly? You drank three glasses in one gulp.”

“………….”

A long silence follows.

This is a fact that even Carmel can understand.

If I really didn’t do anything, then Carmel herself acted as if she was seducing me, no matter how drunk it may have been.

Carmel, who had been silent for a while while sitting on the sofa, finally managed to speak.

“…Forget it.”

“Yes?”

“What I just said…what I did…I want you to forget everything…as if it never happened…”

Does that mean it never happened? I wanted to, but this may be the best way for Carmel to accept his actions.

I thought about trying another trick under the pretext of forgetting, but I don’t think the timing would be right now that I’m already struggling with self-destruction. Well, there will be plenty of opportunities.

I said with a friendly smile.

“Of course, mother. I will definitely take the fact that my mother tried to undo her belt in front of me with a dirty look in her eyes to the grave.”

“Pfft…!”

Carmel looked at me with a toothy expression. I simply responded with an angelic smile.

Knock, a cautious knocking sound, as if considering it was late at night. It was a maid who came after hearing the sound of breaking.

The maid, who entered the room after receiving permission, looked surprised when she saw glass fragments scattered on the floor and Carmel with a grim look in her eyes.

“Put it away.”

“Yes, ah, yes!”

Even as the maid was frantically sweeping up the glass shards, Carmel and I were looking at each other. With perhaps completely conflicting emotions.
