Chapter 1263: Side Story – The Saintess and Maria (2) (Mature Illustration)

Chulbak, chulbak.

“……Hoo.”

A hand moving carefully underwater.

Maria’s fingers, as if trying to release the desire that had been building up without her realizing it, headed towards her body.

–Seureuk.

“Ngh….”

Fingers touching the edge of her nipple and moving.

Her body reacted subtly to the skin moving along the reddened border.

Just restrained movements, not rough or consumed by desire.

The nipple carefully moving between the fingers, where the thumb and index finger met.

“Hup….”

Maria, taking a short breath and pulling her own nipple, moved her hand towards her thighs this time.

As if she couldn’t be caught by anyone else, slowly, secretly.

–Seureureuk.

“Ngh, heu….”

Maria slowly rubbed the outer part of her lower lips, where the thin breath folded, with her fingertips.

Her body gradually heated up amidst the slow, careful movements, as if playing a musical instrument.

Still exhaling shallow breaths, eyes faintly closed, the restrained masturbation continued.

She never once inserted her fingers into her body.

Not because it felt like a sin, but simply to avoid becoming addicted to direct pleasure.

To avoid becoming accustomed and desensitized to such rough stimuli that felt like they could lead to addiction.

Therefore, Maria’s masturbation was always performed just enough to barely shake off the complex thoughts in her mind.

–Munjil.

“Hup, hoo….”

Her body twitched subtly the moment her fingertip touched her clitoris.

However, she remained calm without getting excited even amidst such stimulation.

A slightly strong stimulation surged through Maria’s body as she repeatedly pressed and released without applying force with her fingertips.

–Kkuuk.

“Euh, heu-eut…!”

The moment her breath hitched and she unintentionally let out a lewd sigh.

Maria had reached her climax just by gently caressing her nipples and clitoris.

Since she usually set this point as the limit of pleasure she allowed herself, her body was accustomed to resolving its sexual desire with mild stimulation.

“Hoo-eu….”

Maria felt a faint pleasure, experiencing an extremely restrained and limited climax.

For a moment, a man’s face flashed through her mind.

“……”

Sung Taekyung.

A man she still couldn’t understand and had many questions about.

But at the same time, the Saintess’s husband and the man who saved the Holy Kingdom.

And a man who was still saving hunters every day at her guild.

She didn’t know why his face came to mind… but lately, Maria found herself thinking of Sung Taekyung after masturbating.

‘…I’ll have to hold back tomorrow.’

Maria quietly thought, ‘Let’s not get lost in desire,’ as she washed herself and left the bathroom.

Pretending not to know that this kind of sexual release only made her desires fester inwardly.

As soon as I returned home, my wives greeted me, each holding their full bellies.

“I’m home~.”

“Ah, Oppa’s home!”

“…Welcome home, Oraboni?”

Or… even wives who were already pregnant with one child each.

“Tae-eun, Daddy’s home~. Daddy~.”

“Daaadd…!”

Perhaps because their pregnancies were timed similarly, the average age of our household members has significantly decreased in recent months. Not only Hye-eun, who was the first, but Cha Yuri, Sihee, Eunbyul, and Min-ah were all holding a child each in their arms.

Eunyoung Noona and Hwayoung Sunbae are also nearing their due dates. Probably in a month or two, our household will grow again.

Incidentally, President Seo Ok-hee is also nearing her due date, so she’s taking temporary leave from the guild. Since she had to hide her pregnancy, it seems she processed it as simple leave at the company guild. When I visited President’s house recently, she definitely had a pregnant belly. Just like when my other wives gave birth, I’ll have to be there when President Seo Ok-hee gives birth.

“S-Sungchul-ssi, Heechul called me Mom today! Uh, Eunbyul! Quickly, the recording from earlier…”

“Here is the statement where Young Master Heechul called Sihee-nim ‘Mother’.”

「Mmm…Mwah!」

“Yeah, I can hear it clearly.”

Sihee, who’s become strangely doting now that she’s a mother, and Eunbyul, who still treats her like her superior. Even though they weren’t legally married on paper, they had all married me, yet their titles for me were still all over the place. But that actually made me feel more certain that they were all my wives.

“Taekyung~! You worked hard~!”

“Yeah, Lulusia too.”

After chatting with my wives and finding a moment of slight leisure, Lulusia sneakily approached me. I wrapped my arms around Lulusia, who approached with her arms open, wanting a hug, and pulled her close.

“Lulusia.”

“Yes~?”

“After dinner tonight, can you come to my room for a bit? I have something to talk about.”

“…Yes~!”

While holding her, I whispered carefully into her ear. Her face flushed at the mention of something to discuss, and her delayed reaction was cute. Usually, when I call someone to my room like this, it’s almost always for ‘something lewd’.

Of course, the real purpose is to talk about Maria’s sexual desire. To bring Maria to bed, Lulusia’s cooperation would be essential. She probably wouldn’t refuse if I asked her. After all, Lulusia, who had even asked the priests of the Holy Kingdom to become the ‘Father’, had no reason to object to adding just one more person, Maria, now.

After telling her, Lulusia kept blushing strangely and glancing at me throughout dinner. I considered telling her it wasn’t for anything lewd, but her reaction was amusing, so I just watched. Because I wanted to see Lulusia get embarrassed later when she realized her misunderstanding.

…Well, while we’re at it, playing the role of Lulusia’s husband wouldn’t hurt either.

After dinner, in my room.

As I sat at my desk, briefly handling paperwork for the guild tomorrow, I heard a knock and a voice waiting outside the door.

–Ttok, ttok.

“…I’m coming in, Taekyung~.”

“Yeah, come in.”

At first glance, it sounded like her usual relaxed voice. But it was a voice that clearly revealed the subtle tremor hidden within.

–Kkiiik.

“Excuse me~.”

Her tone was light, but her movements were slightly stiff. As she closed the door and approached cautiously with her hands clasped, her belly was slightly swollen. Although it was early pregnancy, the curve was clearly visible. Seeing her approach my side with a strange look of anticipation, a smile couldn’t help but form on my lips.

“Today… you called me a little early, Taekyung~.”

She chuckled lightly and slipped into my embrace. I too put aside the documents I was working on and walked towards the bed with her. It wasn’t necessarily for intimacy; it was just a more comfortable place to make eye contact and talk.

“Lulusia.”

“Yes.”

“Actually, I have something to discuss regarding Maria.”

“…Maria?”

Despite hearing something different from what she expected, she still looked at me with a bright smile. However, the momentary flicker in her eyes couldn’t be hidden. But revealing that I noticed would only make her more embarrassed, so I deliberately continued the conversation without showing it.

“I told you before that I can see how much desire someone has built up, right?”

“Ah, yes…. Ah, I know…”

“Lately, Maria’s desire has risen to a somewhat dangerous level. It started around the time she began working as my temporary secretary at the Hope City Guild.”

“……Is that so~?”

“Yeah. So, I wanted to help her release it when I get the chance, but it’s not easy. She always says it’s fine and just refuses.”

“M-Maria might do that~. After all, she’s the type to prioritize duty and responsibility over herself~.”

“That’s why I need your help, Lulusia.”

“Me~?”

Lulusia tilted her eyebrows slightly and looked up at me. I explained the plan to get Maria into bed to her, who was still looking at me with an uncooled expression, seemingly tense.

“Since Maria seems to value responsibility and duty more, you’ll need to tell her that you need Maria’s help here.”

“…Since I’m pregnant, you want me to ask Maria to take care of Taekyung’s desires instead of me~?”

“You get it.”

“…Hmm, but is that okay~? Actually, Taekyung, you didn’t exactly avoid touching me just because I got pregnant~.”

“That’s because I helped you release your desire when it periodically built up.”

“Ah, ahaha….”

As I pressed on with logic, Lulusia couldn’t help but let out an embarrassed laugh and cautiously averted her gaze.

“You’ll help me, right?”

“…Because it’s your request, Taekyung. And you said it’s for Maria, so of course, I should help~.”

Still, securing her cooperation wasn’t difficult. After all, lately, she’d been accepting any request for my sake without hesitation. Perhaps feeling indebted because I took on the role of ‘Father’ in the Vatican Holy Kingdom, this tendency had become even stronger recently. I didn’t intend to openly exploit Lulusia’s tendencies, but it was certainly convenient for gaining cooperation like this.

“Th-Then, I should head back to my room~! Ah, good ni-…”

–Kkwaak.

“Where do you think you’re going.”

“Ngaaah?!”

I grabbed Lulusia’s hand as she tried to stand up with an embarrassed smile and sat her back down on the bed. It was true that I had called Lulusia to ask for her help in releasing Maria’s desire. But fulfilling the duty of a husband satisfying his horny wife was a separate matter.
