“Honey, how on earth could this happen…?”

Isabella looked at Lloyd with an expression full of bewilderment, but his expression was resolute.

“Honey, you say? I’ve never had a lust-crazed wench like you as a wife. Knights, arrest that wench immediately and check on Sir Lionheart’s condition.”

The knights approached, pulled Isabella away, and forcibly dragged her away.

“…You did it.! You ordered it!!”

“Now you’re even lying. Add insulting the Emperor to the charges.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“How is Sir Lionheart?”

“He is fine.”

“That’s a relief.”

Lloyd’s and Lionheart’s lips slightly turned up, but none of the knights noticed.

As Isabella was dragged away and all the knights left, Lloyd said in a low voice.

“Son, come out now.”

“…!!!”

Roman was surprised by his father’s voice calling him. He approached Lloyd with a hesitant attitude. Roman hurriedly pulled up his pants, but Lloyd laughed as if it was ridiculous.

“Looks like you were masturbating. Come to think of it, you’re old enough to be interested in women.”

“…Yes.”

“There’s nothing to be ashamed of, so straighten your shoulders. Aren’t you the Crown Prince of Aman, who will take over this father’s place?”

“That’s right.”

At that moment, Lloyd grabbed Roman’s shoulder with tremendous force.

“For you, a woman like that is just for entertainment. A true strongman must dominate women. That is the path you must take.”

“..Mother…”

“Who are you calling your mother? Are you talking about that dirty wench who was just dragged away?”

“..No. There was no such person.”

“Yes, you’re finally saying the right thing. I will give you a woman within a few days. Try to dominate her yourself.”

“I understand.”

At the words of giving him a woman, Roman’s lower body began to swell again.

Lloyd burst into laughter, as if he liked that look.

“Go now.”

“Yes.”

Not long after Roman returned, a huge event occurred within Aman. Roman had no idea who the woman that event would bring him would be.

***

Until that happened, Roman had abandoned the magic books he was always immersed in and was reading books containing distorted lust.

Rustle.

The sound of a page turning was heard. Roman’s eyes were fixed on the words and illustrations written in the book.

“A place located below the vulva… Sometimes this is the only place used for chastity.”

The more he looked, the more mysterious and unprecedented content was full. The book secretly brought from the central library was as old as it was diverse.

Moreover, for him, who knew almost nothing about the relationship between men and women, it became a passage to infinitely expand new knowledge. Just like reading a magic book, Roman was immersed in the contents of the book. Gradually, he began to harbor a slightly distorted lust.

And an event that shook Aman’s society finally occurred.

After a long time, the Itena Goddess Church, which was like Aman’s state religion, was deprived of its status as the state religion on charges of apostasy and leading a rebellion, and all religious people belonging to the Itena Goddess Church were arrested on charges of heresy.

Of course, the highest-ranking priest resisted, saying that it could not be true, but after resisting, the highest-ranking priest was killed, and a movement to erase the traces of the Itena Goddess, so to speak, took place.

In the process, numerous temples dedicated to the Itena Goddess were destroyed, and the priests who guarded the temples officially went missing.

And those who held high positions among the priests were dragged into the basement of the Imperial Palace.

“Walk faster!”

They were dragged in a row, wearing tattered priestly robes. Among them were various people, from men to women, but most were women.

Perhaps because they were religious people who served the goddess, there were many priestesses.

A procession walking with shackles connected to their arms and legs, making a clanging sound. The guards shouted in intimidating voices, wielding whips.

“They are a group of traitors. Don’t show them any mercy and drag them away. We will interrogate them all.”

For the priests who had been performing rituals for the goddess until just yesterday, it was a frustrating feeling, but they comforted themselves, saying that there must be a misunderstanding, and entered the basement of the Imperial Palace one by one.

Roman, who was reading a book, also came out when he heard the noise of dozens of people walking in.

“….!? Why are the priests here?”

Looking around with surprised eyes, his eyes widened when he saw the priest of the temple he often went to being dragged in.

Lloyd, his father, approached Roman, who was standing there not knowing what was going on, with a satisfied smile. As soon as he approached Roman from behind, he put his hand on his shoulder and pointed to the priests being dragged in.

“Look, son. They are dirty apostates. All that remains for apostates is the guards’ interrogation and execution.”

“..Father, but those people are from the Itena Goddess…”

At that moment, Roman saw his father’s eyes staring at him. He was looking at him with the same eyes he had looked at his mother, or rather, the one who had been his mother, who had been dragged away a while ago.

“..No, they are dirty apostates who must be punished.”

Only then did Lloyd smile with satisfaction.

“Yes, that is the image that the Emperor who will lead Aman in the future must show. Rebel forces must be crushed so that they can never rise again.”

Roman nodded.

“So, I will entrust you with the interrogation of one of the priests.”

“Yes..?”

“Why, do you think you can’t do it? But you must be able to do that much easily. Besides, it seems you’ve been interested in taming women these days.”

“How did you know that, Father..?”

“There is nothing that I do not know about what happens in Aman. That is the Emperor.”

Of course, it was because of the eyes of surveillance that Lloyd had installed everywhere, but Roman did not know that yet. He just thought that his father was thoroughly investigating.

“Do you see her? She is the priestess of the temple near the Imperial Palace. She is a familiar face, isn’t she?”

At the end of Lloyd’s finger was a priestess with yellow hair and black eyes. It was a face that Roman knew well.

The priestess’s name was Lilia, one of the few women who always treated him kindly and without exaggeration, even knowing Roman’s identity.

‘Whether you are the Crown Prince or not, under the Itena Goddess, we are just the same life.’

It was a word that was still vivid in his memory.

He was disgusted by the fact that he felt a sense of depravity rather than disgust at the fact that he could interrogate her himself. But Roman’s body was just as honest.

He was filled with the desire to undress Lilia’s body right away, explore every corner of her, and make her feel ashamed.

Before he knew it, his lower body was honestly swollen.

“Wait there. The guard will prepare and bring her to you soon.”

“Yes.”

Roman immediately opened the door hidden between the pillars of the Imperial Palace and headed to the basement. It was the place where his mother had been dragged away.

Of course, when he visited that place again, his mother was not there. It was just neatly organized.

He had accidentally come with his father when he was young. But at that time, he did not know exactly what this place was.

He just looked at his smiling father and thought it must be a good place because he was smiling.

To him now, this place was definitely a good place. The things he had only seen in books were full in the basement.

“Is this a triangular horse? Is this where the binding chains are tied?”

A space designed solely to inflict pain and shame on women. That was the basement of the Imperial Palace. It was made by Lloyd, and it could be said that this was where he experimented through Isabella.

“This is… truly heaven…”

While Roman was admiring it, a loud noise was heard from outside.

“Please don’t do this. The Itena Goddess will not stand idly by.”

“Shut up! You heretical wench! Follow me quietly.”

“Aaaagh!”

A woman being dragged away with a blindfold on her face and wearing a priestly robe torn to the point of being almost underwear.

It was Lilia.

“Finally…”

The woman Roman had so desperately wanted, the woman he wanted to break so badly, the woman he wanted to conquer so much.

She was the woman he had first felt affection for, even though he didn’t know it at the time.

“Where are you trying to take me!”

Lilia, who realized that she had been dragged somewhere by the rough hands of men, instinctively screamed in horror. It was a natural instinct as a woman.

When Roman quietly gestured, the guards threw the priest to the floor and disappeared.

Lilia, who had been thrown down in an instant, flinched and looked around cautiously. She couldn’t see in front of her because her eyes were covered, but she seemed to have sensed that something bad was going to happen to her.

“…Hello? If you’re there, say something…”

“Priestess Lilia. Nice to meet you.”

Lilia was surprised by the sudden voice.
