Chapter 1237: Side Story – Purification Ritual (2) (Mature Illustration)

Her expression, slightly changed from her usual impassive look, had become somewhat serious.

She approached me and Sophia with large strides, her face clearly showing displeasure with the current situation, no matter who looked.

“Sophia, what exactly is going on here?”

“…P-Priestess Maria…. Well….”

“I distinctly recall telling you to prepare for dealing with a man during the purification ritual, to avoid any embarrassing situations and to stay focused.”

“…….”

Sophia, who moments ago seemed to be diligently rubbing my back with her chest, was now nervously glancing at Maria, who was approaching suddenly, her eyes darting around.

I thought she was holding back her embarrassment and doing a decent job, so I didn’t point anything out, but it seemed Maria wasn’t satisfied by her standards.

“Sophia, this man will complete the ritual in just a few hours and become the Holy Father. And in a few years, he might even become the one to implant the seed of life within you.”

“Yes, that’s right….”

“And yet, not only are you clumsily making mistake after mistake in front of the Holy Father, but you’re also harboring selfish desires during a sacred purification ritual? Do you think this is acceptable behavior?”

“…It is my oversight.”

“Truly…to ruin such a solemn event, which only happens once every few decades, in this manner… What should be done in such a situation….”

“…….”

…Even so, I don’t think she needs to be scolded this harshly.

After all, Sophia grew up in an environment where men are rare, so I don’t think she needs to be reprimanded for not handling it skillfully.

Of course, I don’t fully understand Maria’s feelings either, as I’m not entirely familiar with how important the Holy Kingdom’s purification rituals are.

“Maria, you don’t have to scold her so harshly. Anyone can make mistakes when doing something for the first time.”

“Please do not speak so leniently, Holy Father. These children have been educated for this Holy Father ritual since childhood.”

“We cannot simply excuse a national event of the Holy Kingdom, occurring once every few decades, as a mere mistake….”

“They aren’t accustomed to men. Learning theoretically is obviously different from putting it into practice.”

“And by my standards, I think she’s doing perfectly well, so please don’t scold her.”

“…The new Holy Father certainly has lenient standards.”

Maria looked at me with a strange expression, seemingly unconvinced despite my persuasion.

Then, she suddenly began to remove her priestly robes and approached me.

“Even if you think so, Holy Father, as this is an event that occurs only once every few decades, we cannot afford to be lenient like you.”

“…Maria?”

“Therefore, I will show you now. What the purification ritual truly meant for the Holy Father, and just how weak your standards are.”

Maria approached me with utmost confidence and knelt right before me.

Then, as if it were the most natural thing in the world, she squeezed body wash between her breasts and began lathering it up, just like Sophia did earlier.

“Step aside, Sophia. From now on, I will personally conduct the Holy Father’s purification ritual.”

“Y-Yes….”

“You, stand back for a moment and seriously re-learn how this purification ritual should be conducted.”

“…Understood.”

Sophia carefully moved away from me, her expression and voice tinged with disappointment.

And then, Maria immediately thrust her chest forward and began rubbing it against me.

-Malkang.

“……”

-Munjil, munjil.

“……”

Maria diligently scrubbed my back with her soapy breasts and hands.

Seeing her so focused, without uttering a word or even a breath, the atmosphere was certainly different from when Sophia was doing it.

‘Indeed, Maria seems to carry much more weight than the other three.’

If viewed purely as a man-woman interaction, Sophia might seem cuter, but this Holy Father ritual isn’t exactly a lighthearted act.

If this act of washing a man’s body using one’s own body is considered a sacred ritual, then Maria’s serious attitude is probably more important.

“This is how you should focus on the act of cleansing the Holy Father’s body, without any selfish desires. Do you understand, Sophia?”

“Yes….”

“…You answer well with words.”

Maria continued to rub her breasts against my back, shoulders, and even my waist, applying soap suds, all while talking to Sophia.

Feeling the soft breasts rubbing against my back and occasionally brushing against my nipples, yet her voice remained perfectly steady-could this be called professionalism?

At least among the Holy Kingdom’s priestesses, she must be the most experienced, which is why she was positioned to serve the Saintess Lulusia.

“Now, I will cleanse the front. Please lie down on the floor, Holy Father.”

“…Ah, okay.”

Maria led me onto the mat laid out on the bathroom floor and had me lie down.

Lying down facing the ceiling in an aroused state, the object rising between my legs was far more noticeable than when I was sitting.

“H-Haa….”

“…….”

“…Hoo-eut.”

The three priestesses reacted differently upon seeing my erection again.

Only Maria, seemingly unfazed by the situation, earnestly pushed her chest forward and climbed onto my body.

-Malkang!

“I will cleanse the front of your upper body. It is unavoidable that I climb onto your body for the overall purification, but if the weight of my body becomes burdensome, I can change positions.”

Maria lay directly on top of me, in a position close to the missionary stance, pressing her body against mine and rubbing her entire torso against my upper body.

No matter how you look at it, this was an obscenely lustful act, far from a normal purification ritual.

“It’s fine. I quite like it since you’re washing me so well.”

Of course, I felt good and had no intention of moving away.

Maria continued the purification ritual, moving her body diligently on top of me.

“Eut….”

Sophia’s gaze, watching her with a hint of envy, also caught my eye.

‘From Sophia’s perspective, it must feel like her role was snatched by her senior.’

Of course, one could say she should have done it properly from the start, but that couldn’t be helped.

It was probably her first time; how could she do it perfectly right away?

Of course, Maria paid no mind to Sophia’s attitude and remained focused on the ‘purification’ and the ‘demonstration’.

-Malkang!

“…I will cleanse this area next.”

Maria had moved down to my lower body and was now rubbing my cock between her breasts.

-Munjil, munjil.

“……”

Even with my cock tucked between her breasts and being rubbed, her composure remained unchanged.

If anything, there were minor changes, like her face blushing slightly, but that was all. She continued the purification ritual without letting out a single rough breath.

Separately, however, the reaction of my hardening cock between her breasts was something I couldn’t hide.

After finishing the purification ritual, where she diligently cleansed every nook and cranny of my body, even my legs and arms, with her breasts, Maria carefully rose.

“…It is finished, Holy Father.”

She stood up, her whole body covered in soap suds, and poured water from a basin over me.

After completing the cleansing, having received Maria’s purification ritual, which felt strangely erotic until the very end.

“Angelina, now I will proceed with the Holy Father’s massage….”

“Wait a moment, Maria.”

“…….”

“Still, Maria went to the trouble of giving a demonstration. It would be a bit disappointing for Sophia to just let it go like this.”

“…What is it you wish to say, Holy Father?”

“Just this. I was thinking, why not give Sophia one more chance instead of letting her go like this?”

“She saw how it’s done, so she’ll do better this time, right? Isn’t that right, Sophia?”

“H-Holy Father…”

Actually, it’s partly because I personally want to receive Sophia’s purification ritual a bit more.

It serves to fulfill my personal desires while also doing Sophia a favor.

And incidentally, it helps show a more merciful side as the Holy Father.

“…Understood. If the Holy Father permits it, there’s no harm in proceeding one more time.”

Maria nodded, her gaze still calm, her expression unchanged.

“Sophia, over here.”

“…Yes!”

“I’ve shown you a proper demonstration, so I trust you won’t make any mistakes this time.”

“This is a second chance granted by the Holy Father, so focus properly and do it right this time.”

“Yes!”

With an energetic voice, Sophia approached me once again, applying body wash to her chest.
