135. Towards the Demon Kingdom (3)

“Yulian-nim…!!”

The person who opened the door and came in was Chloe.

‘Heu-hum… As expected.’

If someone were to raid my room first, I thought it would naturally be Chloe.

Chloe has never failed to visit my room every night when we go to a foreign land like this.

‘Her personality is awful, but still, that’s kind of cute.’

Perhaps I was secretly expecting it too.

I inadvertently observed her appearance.

Today, she was wearing a pure white night dress that suited her silver hair.

And even though it was right before bedtime, she had her hair tied up.

So, unlike Chloe, she had a calm and simple feeling, but

‘That kind of look is also subtly…’

That gap from her usual self was rather stimulating my baser instincts.

In short, it means I was turned on.

Even her usual arrogant and confident expression.

Because it was night, she was somehow quietly blushing. No, unlike her, she had a slightly fearful expression.

I hid those inner thoughts and said to Chloe.

“What’s wrong, Chloe?”

At my words, Chloe’s red eyes trembled.

“I… I’m scared, so I can’t sleep.”

At those words, I almost let out a hollow laugh.

‘Scared?’

Of course, the group has entered the Demon King’s country, not the Empire.

The unfamiliar demonic energy, like the demonic power of a Dungeon, can cause unconscious fear.

But, I could understand if she was an ordinary Imperial maiden who hadn’t awakened any Mana.

But Chloe has been to the primeval forest with me and came back safe and sound.

And now, she can fight without even fearing a Type 1 demonic beast.

That’s not something the villainous young lady Chloe should be saying.

She subtly crossed her arms and grabbed her shoulders. She trembled.

“This is a place full of dangerous demons… I’m uneasy. I’ve heard that demons are very lewd… I’m afraid they might lose their reason in the night’s demonic energy and pounce on me…”

Rather, the demons should be afraid of Chloe.

I decided to just play along with Chloe’s act.

‘She worked hard to get the activation stone. Chloe too.’

So, I nodded.

“If you’re not used to the sleeping arrangements, you’re bound to have unnecessary fantasies. Come on up.”

Then Chloe couldn’t hide her expression.

She looked very happy.

But soon, thinking she was being too obvious, she quickly returned to her fearful expression.

“I, I’m not trying to disturb Yulian-nim’s sleep! I’ll just… sleep quietly without a word!”

For someone saying that, she was quick to get on my bed.

“……”

Then, she quickly came into the blanket I was covering myself with.

Then, Chloe’s scent, which I hadn’t smelled in a while, spread right next to me.

‘Always extravagant.’

Perfume made with the most expensive fragrance from the Empire, no, from Essenmund.

Probably a perfume that even the citizens of the Imperial Capital couldn’t afford even if they saved up several months’ salary.

Chloe was splashing that kind of perfume around. As expensive as it is, the scent was very alluring.

‘Especially mixed with Chloe’s scent…’

When I see those silver hair and red eyes along with this scent, I can’t feel Chloe as a human at all.

She feels even more mysterious than Lumi, who wasn’t really human.

It felt like the scent of a rutting female, very tempting to men, was filling the air next to me.

‘It wouldn’t be strange if Chloe mixed an aphrodisiac with her perfume.’

——-

As expected, a warning popped up on the system.

The Duke’s young lady, whose affection for me is so excessive, prepares aphrodisiacs like this every time.

‘And today’s aphrodisiac seems even more dangerous. It even works on dragons.’

But I decided to accept Chloe today.

I decided to have a steamy time with her, as if I were very drunk on the aphrodisiac.

Of course, I didn’t show it at all on the outside. I wasn’t going to get horny for her right away like an easy man.

“What’s wrong, Chloe?”

“N, nothing!”

Probably Chloe.

She seemed to be watching my condition, hoping that the effects of the aphrodisiac would kick in soon.

I pretended not to notice her.

I continued reading the book I had been holding a little while ago.

***

Meanwhile, the other members of the group were not asleep yet either.

Everyone couldn’t sleep, so they gathered in Lucia’s relatively large room.

They got to know each other through their connection with Yulian.

But now, they also had their own friendships.

And the people gathered here were all students of the same Pantheon, so they were all on good terms.

“The Demon King’s country is such an unfamiliar place… It’s more natural not to be able to sleep. Even I, as a demon, feel awkward…”

Lucia nodded at Cecilia’s words.

“Feeling the demonic energy in the air is a slightly different sensation. I thought I was already used to demonic energy thanks to Yulian-nim… Ah!”

And Lucia, who said that, hurriedly covered her lips with her palm.

Saying that she had become accustomed to Yulian’s demonic energy.

It was the same as saying that she had spent messy nights with him, the Dragon Lord.

As expected, Rosette was startled by those words.

“T, that’s right! Lucia-ssi is already used to it.”

Rosette was unnecessarily embarrassed, and she kept stroking one side of her low twin tail hair with her finger.

Aylin was listening to the conversation silently without any change in her expression as usual.

But somehow her eyes were shining.

There was a moment of silence.

Then Cecilia said something unexpected to everyone.

“Everyone here has already mated with Yulian-oraboni, right?”

“Puh-“

Lucia spat out the mint chocolate tea she was drinking at those words.

“Cough, cough-“

Rosette, who was flustered, was the same. She coughed dryly.

Aylin calmly remained silent. But still, she was flustered by those unexpected words.

She hurriedly fanned her face with her hand.

“Ce… Cecilia, what are you saying…”

Lucia said, looking at Cecil.

Cecilia looked a little surprised.

But still, with her fair blonde hair, she smiled kindly and said.

“Oh my. Dragons use the word ‘mating’… Was it too explicit? But everyone here is qualified to be Oraboni’s future wife. So I asked because I thought you had already mated, no, had sexual relations.”

Everyone was silent at those words.

And they blushed, avoiding each other’s eyes.

Cecilia’s words were correct.

Everyone was already Yulian’s woman.

The reason for that first sexual encounter was different for each of them.

But now that they had fallen in love with the man named Yulian. They became bodies that could not even think of another man.

And Yulian also said that he would take responsibility for them. He said he would bring them into the Dragon Lord’s harem.

‘S, still, it’s embarrassing.’

Even Aylin, who had Yulian’s first experience, was embarrassed by this kind of lewd talk.

Cecilia continued.

“Ah! Come to think of it, Chloe-ssi isn’t here, so I can’t ask her. But judging by her expression. It must have been a long time since Chloe-ssi spent the night with Oraboni, right?”

Rosette’s face turned completely red at those words.

“Euhm? What’s wrong, Rosette-ssi?”

“N, nothing! Cecilia-nim!”

Aylin sensed it.

Apparently, Rosette had done something with Yulian along with Chloe.

‘Surely those two have a bad relationship… They’re rivals in the Pantheon.’

Not only the people here, but most of the people in the White Lion Palace don’t know.

Unexpectedly, Aylin liked to hear about the affairs between men and women.

Even when she was in the Pantheon.

She went to see romance musicals with Cecilia whenever she had the chance. And naturally, the topic turned to Chloe.

“Come to think of it, I stopped by Chloe-ssi’s room to have a cup of tea together… But she wasn’t there.”

In fact, everyone here wasn’t very close to Chloe.

A celebrity in the Pantheon.

Chloe was very famous for both her status and appearance.

But somehow, Chloe had a coldness that made it difficult to approach her.

And she was famous for having a scary personality.

Still, the kind Cecilia. She took care of Chloe like that, perhaps because she had a connection with Chloe through the Aiteern Merchant Company’s contract. Aylin was taken aback by that fact.

‘Cecil… I forgot because she wanted to call everyone “unni.” But she was older than anyone here.’

Not only that.

Cecilia’s identity is a dragon.

And she was a biologically connected mate with the Dragon Lord.

In a way, she was in a deeper relationship than Lilia, who was the official fiancée.

Of course, Cecilia really likes calling everyone “unni.”

She has never directly stepped up to become the Dragon Lord’s official wife.

She was still a hidden powerhouse.

“If it’s Chloe, wouldn’t she have sneaked into Yulian’s room? She’s such a perverted young lady!”

Rosette said at Cecilia’s words.

Like those words. Aylin also washed Yulian’s clothes, so when she collected them.

She always saw the expensive perfume scent and the silver hair that wafted from them.

So, she wasn’t as jealous as she was of Lilia, but Aylin was actually jealous of Chloe.

‘Moreover, Chloe-ssi is now a Duke’s young lady… And the future Grand Duke who will inherit the Aiteern Merchant Company and the central region…’

So even Chloe wasn’t easy.

She never presumptuously thought of becoming Yulian’s official wife.

Still, Aylin’s thought was certain.

That she wanted to be with Yulian-doryeonnim forever.

‘I… I need to try harder too…’

It was then.

“Oh, right! I know this because it’s knowledge passed down among dragons. The Dragon Lord’s official wife… can receive special treatment as the official wife, unlike the other wives in the harem.”

Everyone showed interest in Cecilia’s words.

Aylin hurriedly asked Cecilia back.

“Special treatment… What does that mean?”

“That is…”

Soon, Cecilia’s words continued.

***

Deep night. The elf village was quiet.

And Yulian’s room, which Chloe had come to, was the same.

Right now, the only sound in this room was Yulian quietly turning the pages of a book.

‘Are those books more interesting than my body? Master… No, Yulian-nim.’

Chloe was already wet down there.

Just being in the same blanket with him like this. She felt horny as a conditioned reflex.

‘I sprayed a strong aphrodisiac that can knock out a dragon… No, that can seduce a dragon. But why hasn’t he reacted?’

She hadn’t spent a night with him for almost a month since the end-of-term ceremony.

She sometimes felt depressed at the thought that spider webs might really start to form down there.

Chloe couldn’t be satisfied with any man other than Yulian.

‘No. Still, the fact that he allowed me to come into the blanket… Yulian-nim definitely wants to hold me tonight.’

Thinking that he was surprisingly shy.

She felt even more lovable towards this noble young man she loved.

“Haa… It might be a little hot…”

She pressed her voluptuous body even closer to Yulian.

And pretending to be hot, she moved her night dress here and there, showing her cleavage.

‘Ugh… Is it not working?’

Even so, Yulian was silently reading his book.

When she was thinking that she would have to take off all her clothes and charge at him with her body if it didn’t work.

Yulian held the book he had been holding with both hands. In one hand.

Then, his remaining hand. Subtly wrapped around her waist.

‘Hiccup!?’

Her waist twitched at that simple contact alone.

‘Ah, no. I have to endure. Yulian-nim is now…’

That’s right.

Yulian was pretending to silently read a book.

But he slowly started to move his hand that was touching her waist. That hand was heading towards Chloe’s plump butt.
