Chapter 111: If I Don’t Touch Your Body, Wouldn’t This Method Be Okay?

Chapter 111: If I Don’t Touch Your Body, Wouldn’t This Method Be Okay?

Rain is the kingdom’s financial manager.

She grew up in a noble family in the capital and was able to get a job in the kingdom without much trouble.

Of course, the process wasn’t entirely smooth.

Regardless, she thought she had a decent environment to make a living.

It would have been better if not for this damn work environment.

“Rain, please handle this.”

“Please approve that.”

“I bought spices, so please put it under the kingdom’s name.”

It was a bit strange that they started using informal language, but.

It couldn’t be helped. Nobles are all rude.

That’s why she always had to suffer from stress and overwork.

Once, while washing her hair in the morning, her hair fell out in clumps.

Recently, she had to deal with even greater stress.

It was about the ‘sacrifice.’

To put it bluntly, the King had gone mad.

The King, who was always strong and intelligent, was no longer there.

After the Queen died, he spent every day cleaning her corpse and whispering his love.

He didn’t eat well either. He was always coveting and obsessed with sacrifices.

Because of that, the kingdom was gradually becoming sick.

Meanwhile, the foolish nobles of the capital, unable to see the future, were only interested in luxury and pleasure.

Then, a considerable time after the Queen died.

There was a person who first spoke to the King about ‘sacrifice.’

A buck-toothed merchant.

He introduced himself as a traveling merchant, but Rain sensed a strange aura about him.

It was an aura she could sense because she had never had contact with the underworld.

She didn’t know exactly what the merchant did.

However, after the merchant spoke with the nobles of the capital in the reception room.

From then on, strange ideas began to enter the King’s mind.

He said he would resurrect the Queen.

It was the beginning of that absurd behavior.

Of course, all the labor and tasks involved were Rain’s responsibility.

Thus, Rain, buried under immense stress and workload, found her only solace in drinking at ‘Blue Sunshine’.

Drinking strong liquor and dark beer to her heart’s content gave her a strange sense of liberation.

And the noodle dishes, which tasted amazing.

With delicious drinks and food, the shop she visited once a month became a weekly visit.

And today, as usual, she was drunk and cursing this damn world.

When she saw a familiar face.

*****

“…So that’s how it happened.”

“Yeahhh… I! Want! To quit! This damn! Job! As soon as possible!!”

Rain slammed her fist on the table and gulped down her beer.

Given the commotion, the customers should have frowned.

But strangely, the customers showed no signs of displeasure.

Instead, they were laughing heartily with renewed vigor.

“That young lady seems to have had a rough time again today.”

“The kingdom’s affairs are no small matter. She must be working very hard.”

“Proprietor! Bring me a large meat noodle soup! And one for that young lady too!”

They drank, each with sympathetic, understanding, or parental expressions.

Some of them even ordered food separately.

“…The atmosphere is quite warm.”

“Of course. This place… is where many people like her gather.”

Euston’s face held a strange emotion as he said that.

Anyway, she had obtained almost all the information she could get.

She wondered if it was appropriate to talk about such things so loudly.

But the rumors about the King had already spread widely.

That the King was declining, and that the kingdom was dying.

Everyone knew.

“Sigh… I guess I couldn’t eat properly in the end.”

“…I’m sorry. Should I have taken you to a quieter place?”

“I’m not blaming you. I didn’t expect it, but I got information, and the food was delicious too.”

It’s okay. Scarlett added with a smile.

“Hooong.. Someone, anyone, bring me a handsome mannnn…”

For some reason, Rain suddenly started saying strange things and crying profusely.

She usually had a quiet and calm impression, but she turned into a beast when she drank.

Scarlett thought she would never want to drink alcohol.

She slowly approached the counter to pay for the food.

Euston had offered to pay, but she waved him off and stopped him.

‘She’s more capable than I thought.’

Should I call this a reward for her unexpected capabilities?

It was a bit awkward at first, but in the end, it turned out very well.

Yes. Carlson said he had been involved with the kingdom for a long time.

Then, was his profession as a black market dealer also a lie?

It didn’t seem so, given how long he had been active.

In any case, she had found a lead.

All that remained was to chase Carlson’s trail.

She also thought she should interrogate Asher, who was imprisoned in the basement, while she was at it.

‘I shouldn’t forget to punish her either…’

Thinking this, Scarlett walked towards the carriage waiting with Euston.

When she returned to the room, Lucy was calmly taking care of Cecil.

*****

Creak-

The door to the room, which I had been waiting for so long, opened.

Scarlett entered wearing a pretty going-out outfit and smiled brightly at me.

Lucy, who was hesitating beside her and sighing faintly, was none other than Lucy.

I don’t know why, but she’s been like this ever since she put her arousal fluid in a small bottle.

Was she not that happy with having sex with me?

If that were the case, she was twisting her hips and letting out lewd moans.

“Young Lady!”

I greeted Scarlett brightly as she approached me.

Scarlett smiled back and hugged me.

She gave me a brief kiss on the forehead and stroked my head with a warm touch.

“Were you okay while I was gone?”

Young Lady’s touch feels good.

I welcomed her enthusiastically, rubbing my face against her like an excited puppy.

After finishing the greetings with me, Scarlett approached Lucy.

Jerk. For some reason, Lucy’s body trembled.

‘What’s going on?’

I couldn’t quite grasp the situation.

A strange tension flowed between the two.

How long did they stand there in confrontation?

Scarlett gently grabbed Lucy’s nape and whispered.

“Lucy..”

“Yes, yes. Young Lady.”

“You… touched Cecil, didn’t you?”

Jerk. Lucy trembled again.

Her lips moved, and an expression of ‘caught’ spread across her face.

“Ah, no. I didn’t touch-“

Crack!

“Keuk, Egek..”

Scarlett tightly grabbed Lucy’s neck as she shook her head and denied the situation.

Lucy, unable to breathe, choked and trembled, and.

I was startled and my eyes widened.

I had made Lucy feel good, but it was because I had offered to do it.

“Ah, Young Lady! Just a moment! I, I said I’d do it!”

“Oh? Is that so?”

Scarlett released Lucy’s neck as if she understood.

Sigh. I let out a sigh of relief.

Scarlett sometimes makes a terrifying expression.

Whenever that happens, my lower abdomen tingles, and I feel like my lower body is about to lose strength.

But.

What she chose was not simple forgiveness.

Snap-

Scarlett snapped her fingers, and my body began to move on its own.

It was the puppet magic used during the maid outfit play.

Simultaneously, the blanket covering my body slid down.

Since I was naked, a cool breeze brushed against my body.

“Then… I guess Cecil should give the punishment too.”

“Yes..?”

I didn’t even have time to ask what she meant.

Scarlett snapped her fingers again, and my hands shot forward.

Crack!

“Keuk, Geuk..”

Simultaneously, I gripped Lucy’s neck with all my might.

Her slender, warm neck.

With that in my hands, I cut off her breathing.

“Ah, Young Lady! This, this, this..”

Lucy’s face immediately turned bright red, so I looked at Scarlett in a panic.

But a smile appeared on her lips.

“Why?”

“Why, why… Let go, let go of her! Lucy… Lucy will die… if you squeeze her like this…”

“She won’t die from that. I told you before, dragonkin are strong, didn’t I?”

Scarlett said that with a truly puzzled expression.

I trembled and stared at Lucy’s half-limp face.

Lucy was choking, her eyes moist.

I could feel the pulse in her neck under my tightly clenched hand.

That sensation was stronger and more chilling than I had expected.

Tears began to stream down my face involuntarily.

“Hic.. P-Please… Young Lady… I’m sorry… I won’t… I won’t do it again… Please forgive me…”

Sobbing with a desperate voice, I pleaded with Scarlett with all my might.

She seemed to find my reaction very arousing.

She stroked her flushed cheeks and panted.

“Please… Young Lady…”

“Really? Will you really not cheat again next time?”

“Yes, yes… Really… I, I really… Hic… won’t cheat… Please…”

“Hmm… What should I do…”

“Heuk, Keuk, Keuk…”

Please.

Scarlett deliberately played for time, glancing at Lucy from the corner of her eye.

Lucy’s breathing and movements were gradually weakening.

It made sense, as she was squeezing her neck with no regard for strength.

Drip, drip, drip-

Lucy, whose eyes were half-rolled back, wet herself.

The floor became damp, and my anxiety and fear grew.

“Please… Huuk.. Young Lady… Please… Please…”

If she continues like this, she’ll die.

She might actually die.

As that thought crossed my mind, tears began to flow endlessly.

And so, just before Lucy went completely limp.

Snap-

Scarlett snapped her fingers, seemingly satisfied that it was enough.

Thump-

“Keok..! Hah.. Keok..”

Simultaneously, Lucy fell to the ground and desperately inhaled oxygen.

“Ah… Ah..”

Thank goodness.

I was so surprised that my lower body was wet, and I couldn’t speak properly.

Scarlett, gasping for breath, grabbed Lucy, who was drooling, and threw her onto the bed.

And then she stole a kiss from my lips, which were filled with fear.

“Huuk, Sluurp.. Hooop..!”

Since my body was held in place, I couldn’t escape the kiss.

In the intense kiss, I felt a slight lack of breath.

How long did we intertwine our tongues like that?

Scarlett, having taken off her clothes, opened a drawer, revealing her sticky thighs.

And from it, she pulled out a leash connected by silver threads.

“Keuk.. Th-that…”

“Cecil, do you know? How beautiful you are when you’re in pain.”

Scarlett replied with incomprehensible words to my question.

And then, I finally understood her intention.

Click-

Scarlett attached the leash to Lucy’s neck, who hadn’t recovered from the lack of oxygen.

Then, she brought the other end to my neck and said.

“But I absolutely hate touching your body directly. So I thought…”

The hook attached to the leash was released, and the leash was placed around my neck.

“What if I don’t touch your body, but only use this method?”

Click-

And at the same time, what overwhelmed my body was.

Lack of oxygen.
