22. Lucia and the Highest Class Salon (1)

“Then, in this place… you two can enjoy all the play you desire.”

The manager led us to the heart of the underground salon. A table was set with luxurious liquor, and in front of it was a wide sofa, with a luxurious bed beside it.

And around the perimeter of the space, curtains were installed, so they could be used as screens if desired.

Of course, the people at the table next to us were deeply engrossed in some intense sex with the curtains wide open.

Chyaek- Chwalsak- Chek- Chwalsak-

The sound of a whip tearing through the air and striking flesh resounded.

“Augh!! More!! More!!”

“You slutty bitch!! You piece of trash!! For a whore more lewd than a country bumpkin, a beating is the only answer!”

“Hyaang!! Master! I love being hit by Master!! I love being degraded♡!! I’m cumming from the whip…♡ It hurts, but I love it so much… Aaaang!! Please, stick it in my lewd bitch pussy…♡ Eunggit!!”

Of all things, the people at the next table were engaged in SM play. The sound was no joke, and Lucia’s face turned pale, so Carmen, the manager, said with a relaxed expression.

“The surrounding noise can lower the concentration of arousal, I suppose. But there’s a reason why our salon is a secret, members-only, top-tier establishment.”

Carmen pointed to the table and explained a few features to us.

“Each space, each table, is equipped with the latest magic engineering from the Imperial Capital. If you press this like so.”

Carmen pressed a square button on the table labeled ‘Mute’. Instantly, the moans that had been echoing from the next table, no, from the entire salon, vanished.

“A magic tool containing silence magic is installed in this space. This should make that pretty young lady less embarrassed, yes?”

Lucia’s expression improved somewhat. Carmen gave a few more explanations. A ‘do not disturb’ function to prevent other guests from intruding, a ‘no spectators’ function, an automatic curtain opening and closing function, and so on.

Detailed convenience was maximized to suit the customer’s sexual preferences. It was befitting of a top-tier salon.

“Then… I’ll bring out the basic fruit platter. Everything is included in the VIP membership fee, so you can order anything else on the table’s menu as much as you like.”

And Carmen winked at me.

“Of course, even if you have a partner, you can always call for one of our salon’s girls.”

As Carmen was about to leave after finishing the explanation, the guard I had seen earlier hurriedly approached the manager.

“What is it, Max?”

“Manager-nim. The Military Police Captain from the Military Police has come to our salon and…”

The manager’s expression soured at the guard’s words. Her expression changed to a serious one, and she nodded.

“First, escort the Military Police Captain politely. Tell him I’ll be there soon.”

“Understood, Manager-nim.”

The guard bowed deeply and left again. Carmen then came to me and said quietly.

“It seems… the situation has become a bit complicated. I knew something had happened at the gambling den upstairs. But the Military Police saw the gambling den’s employees and customers running downstairs… and said they need to investigate this place.”

Carmen’s expression became even more serious. She probably was sure that the people who ran away were us.

But I wasn’t shaken by those words at all. A mere Military Police Captain couldn’t do anything to me, the heir to the Lion Grand Duke.

Also, I’m still known as a complete degenerate. Even if the fact that I frequented such a place became known in the Imperial Capital, it wouldn’t damage my reputation at all.

And if I used my connections, it was obvious that I wouldn’t even get a suspension, let alone any punishment.

But Lucia’s situation was completely different. It would be a disaster if she were caught working at an illegal gambling den behind her stepfather Baron Joshua’s back.

If she were suspended or expelled from Pantheon, it would be a straight path to a miserable life.

So I saw Lucia’s pink eyes turn lifeless for a moment. I took her hand.

“Calm down. Lucia. If you stay calm, there won’t be any problems.”

Lucia stared at me with wide eyes. Carmen nodded as if my words were correct.

“That handsome gentleman is right. Actually, we had already discussed crackdowns with the Military Police. But the fact that they’re forcing their way in means… the Military Police Captain just wants to see the inside of this secret salon. The investigation is just an excuse.”

Carmen was right. The forest of meat and liquor, no, the forest of dicks and liquor, that was unfolding in the salon right now was something that no man could help but be curious about.

He was saying that he would use the investigation as an excuse to look around this lewd salon. And he might be thinking of getting some hospitality through Carmen.

“But… even if it’s just nominally, the Military Police Captain will look around every corner of this salon. If you two aren’t in that kind of relationship… and just came here to escape the gambling den raid, it’s dangerous. Besides, the young lady’s outfit right now screams that she’s a gambling den employee. It would be difficult for you two to stay here in this state.”

Carmen was right. My outfit didn’t matter, but Lucia’s outfit was the same as the gambling den employees upstairs.

“So, to avoid arousing the Military Police Captain’s suspicion, it would be best to blend into this salon naturally, like the other guests. Even if that innocent young lady is embarrassed.”

In other words, take off your clothes and act out arousal like the other guests in the salon. It was an extremely reasonable suggestion.

“I’ll keep the Military Police Captain occupied. You should hurry. Then you two should quickly change your clothes. Ah! And if possible, you should mix together intimately to prevent the Military Police Captain from becoming suspicious. Even if you close the curtains, the Military Police Captain will open them to check himself. To find the people who ran away, you see.”

Carmen was being overly considerate of the two of us. Lucia’s eyes flickered with a moment of doubt as she noticed that.

As expected, before Carmen could move, she whispered to me.

“You don’t have to worry too much. I’ve already realized who the gentleman is. You’ve changed wonderfully. Count Yulian-nim. And the young lady you came with is a beauty who suits your appearance, Count-nim. Even our salon’s most popular girls can’t compare to her.”

Carmen left those last words and left.

“So, I hope you have a sweet time with that young lady. Count Yulian-nim.”

As expected of a socialite, Carmen was quick to notice. As she left, only Lucia and I were left at the table.

I sat her down on the sofa, unsure of what to do.

“Lucia. It would be best to follow the manager’s words here for now. At least until the Military Police Captain checks this table and leaves.”

Lucia nodded cautiously at my words.

The two decided to change clothes first.

“Um, Count-nim…”

“I understand. Lucia. Turn your head for a moment.”

I heard the sound of Lucia slipping off her uniform. I also took off the Otto’s clothes I usually wore and put them in the basket near the table.

“Wait. Lucia. Give me your clothes too.”

I stretched out my hand while still turned away. When Lucia handed me her clothes, I put the guard uniform under my clothes to hide it discreetly.

“I’m… I’m done changing, Count-nim.”

I was only in my underwear. And Lucia was only in her underwear top and bottom. In fact, most of the guests here were completely naked, so this was actually quite covered up.

Lucia was sitting demurely next to me with an embarrassed expression. We could have been a little further apart, but for some reason, she was close to me. It was probably an unconscious expression of affection.

“Um… um… if we’re too far apart, the Military Police might get suspicious…”

So we sat side by side, our bodies pressed close together. Thanks to that, I could see Lucia’s figure clearly, even though I wasn’t trying to look directly at her.

Her breasts weren’t as large as Lilia or Chloe’s, but they were big enough. Also, she had wide hips.

So, sitting on the sofa, her wide hips and thigh fat were even more noticeable, giving off a seductive feeling.

Besides, the underwear Lucia was wearing was really plain white underwear.

Lucia’s half-naked body was that of a very mature woman. But the plain cotton underwear that didn’t match her seductive figure at all made her look even more lewd.

Because that kind of innocent underwear can be more of a turn-on than overtly sexy lingerie.

Lucia then twisted her legs. Her pink hair swayed, and a fragrance wafted out. She hadn’t put on perfume either; her body smelled like a pleasant body lotion.

“Um… um…”

Lucia couldn’t continue her words and only blushed her exposed skin red. An absurd erotic salon. And plain underwear that didn’t suit the place.

Since she was an adult, she must have been embarrassed by her immature underwear for a moment.

She really just twisted her body and didn’t know what to do. Of course, that made me even hornier.

‘Judging by that reaction, Lucia is probably a virgin.’

But a woman with pink hair is bound to look lewd even if she doesn’t try to. It’s a magical hair color that makes even virgins look like bitches.

I placed my hand over hers.

Lucia flinched in surprise. At the same time, she glanced at my body discreetly, pretending not to.

“As the manager said, this is a place where appropriate acting is needed. I may do something a little rude to you, Lucia. But don’t worry too much, as it’s not my true intention.”

I just kept stroking her hand so she wouldn’t feel awkward. Lucia trembled again and nodded as if to say it was okay.

“Th-that’s right, Count Yulian-nim. But I’m not familiar with this kind of place at all… so if you act as you’re familiar with…”

And as if she was worried, Lucia said to me slyly.

“You have a VIP pass to this salon, Count-nim. So you must know how to do that kind of physical play like… like other people.”

Thinking about it, it was only natural. Lucia probably thought that I was a regular at this super erotic salon too.

But I had already decided to play the sweet northern nobleman in front of her.

“That’s a misunderstanding, Lucia. I accidentally got this pass at the gambling den a few days ago. The guy next to me had lost all his money and asked me to lend him money in exchange for this pass. So I just took it and didn’t intend to use it. But unexpectedly, it’s been helpful.”

I continued, acting as if I was sincere.

“I feel like I’m going crazy just being in a place like this. Unlike the nobles in the Imperial Capital, the nobles in the north are more conservative. I’m a man too, but I’m not that promiscuous.”

Lucia nodded vigorously.

“I definitely didn’t suspect you of being a pervert! Someone as handsome… no, as sincere as Count Yulian-nim wouldn’t do that. You’re different from the frivolous men in the Imperial Capital or the south.”

Realizing what she had said, Lucia lowered her head as if embarrassed. And then she closed her mouth tightly again.

“Then should we close the curtains? It’s embarrassing to be like this.”

I raised my hand to press the curtain opening/closing button on the table. At that moment, Lucia grabbed my wrist urgently.

“It’s better to leave the curtains open as they are, Count Yulian-nim. Most people in this salon are doing open play… no, they’ve left the curtains open, so to avoid arousing unnecessary suspicion from the Military Police. And even if we close them, the Military Police will check anyway.”

That was what I wanted, of course. And since Lucia herself said she would do it, it became easier to play the sweet northern gentleman.

“You’re right. It’ll be embarrassing, but bear with it for a little while, Lucia. Once the Military Police leave this place, we won’t need to act anymore.”

“Yes… Count-nim.”

“Then let’s pretend to drink some alcohol…”

I lightly drank a glass of what seemed to be expensive whiskey. Lucia drank a glass of milk-like drink instead of alcohol.

It was right then. I heard Manager Carmen’s voice nearby.

“Oh my. Did that really happen? Then you’re welcome to look around our entire salon, Military Police Captain-nim. If they were guests who had hurriedly hidden themselves, they wouldn’t be able to imitate our salon’s intense play like this.”

And she said it much louder than before.

“That’s a warning to us.”

“That’s right, Count-nim. Um… there’s no choice!”

Lucia pulled my hand. And put that hand inside her bra.

Then my hand was buried in Lucia’s soft breasts.
