Chapter 78

The Heroine of the 1st Playthrough Remembers My Training.

Episode 78: A Rascal, Villainous Young Lady, And Stepmother (1).

A luxurious lounge near the carriage stop.

It was a place built so that noblemen and wealthy people wouldn’t have to wait outside in the scorching summer heat or the cold winter. But, of course, it was going bankrupt.

People who could afford to use this outrageously priced lounge usually had their own private carriages and didn’t need to wait. Those who used public carriages didn’t have the money to spend on such a place.

So why was I here? Because Lucia and Vivian wanted to spend a little more time together, I called a carriage to this place.

…Of course, since I was on the verge of bankruptcy, Lucia paid for it.

I sighed, bowing my head as I leaned back on the sofa.

‘Burned out… completely…’

Do not recklessly take aphrodisiacs.

It was a lesson I learned with my body, literally.

It was the first time since I got the ‘Prince of the Bed’ title that I felt the limits of my stamina.

A 3P or 4P required at least squared amounts of stamina, not just an additional person’s worth of stamina.

When dealing with Lucia and Vivian, I could make both of them climax at the same time, matching my pace.

But when it became three, while Lucia was fainting, Vivian would recover and attack, and when I knocked down Vivian, Tristia would recover and attack.

Thus, my semen was squeezed and squeezed and squeezed and squeezed out.

Normally, at this point, one would not be able to get an erection, but Tristia’s aphrodisiac forcibly converted stamina into sexual energy.

…And this was the result.

[Stats]

Stamina 20 (Limited -5)

I had seen stamina limited due to poison or injury, but I never imagined it would happen because of sex.

‘…4P is absolutely forbidden until my stamina reaches at least 30…’

If Tristia hadn’t left to make more aphrodisiac in the middle, it would have been the end.

“…Hic… Sob… Hic…”

As the time for the carriage departure approached, Vivian started to cry with a trembling voice.

“…Hic… Y… Yujin… Can’t I… Can’t I go with you… I… I’ll eat less… I can’t do much, but I’ll work hard… Hic… So…”

Vivian often cried, but it was the first time I saw her cry so sorrowfully, and I was taken aback.

“…Hic… I… I’m scared… My sister… She will… kill me….”

“…Vivian, didn’t I tell you? You don’t need to worry about Bianca. I made her swear she wouldn’t lay a hand on you.”

“..Hic… Still…”

Vivian grabbed my hand while crying, but it was time for the carriage she was supposed to take to depart.

Moreover, the third chapter had more variables than any other chapter.

I couldn’t handle the butterfly effect caused by Vivian missing her carriage.

I pulled Vivian into my arms, stroked her head, and whispered.

“…When you’re having a hard time, think of the ring as me. The ring will protect you.”

“Hic… Hic… Yujin…”

Vivian, who had been in my arms until the last moment, walked away like she was heading to a battlefield.

‘…Hoo.’

Seeing Vivian board the carriage through the window, I sighed with relief in my heart.

…At least, with this, Vivian returned to her family without much fuss.

I thought there was a possibility she might run away since her mental state wasn’t fully managed, but it seems giving her the ring was effective.

As I looked out the window, a carriage with the Uruella family crest, a blue flag with a clock, came in.

“…The carriage has arrived.”

Although not as much as Vivian, I thought Lucia would cry too, but surprisingly she seemed fine.

“Then, I’ll be off. Master, please take care of yourself.”

But was it just my imagination that Lucia’s movements, as she greeted me the same as usual, seemed slightly slower?

“….”

“…Master?”

As I stayed silent, Lucia tilted her head.

I grabbed Lucia’s wrist and kissed her.

“Haa… Master… Chup….”

As our tongues intertwined, sweet saliva seeped into my body.

Lucia wrapped her thin arms around my back, trying to feel closer to me.

I, too, pulled Lucia towards me with all my strength, engraving her warmth, touch, and scent in my mind.

“…Lucia… You are mine. Don’t forget that.”

“Haa… Haa… Yes… Anywhere… Anytime… I am Master’s.”

Seeing Lucia’s heated breath, I felt like kissing her lips again, but I managed to hold back.

“…Haa… If I stay any longer, I feel like I won’t be able to leave. I’ll go now, Master.”

After greeting me, Lucia walked halfway out of the lounge, then suddenly turned around, ran back, lightly kissed my cheek, and whispered.

“…I love you, Master.”

Then, blushing, she ran outside again.

I touched the mark Lucia left on my cheek and looked up at the ceiling.

‘…By now, Liana must be excitedly making plans.’

This was the first time the princess showed an interest in me, so naturally, it was also my first time going to the royal palace.

So, unlike the previous scenarios, I had no idea what the outcome would be.

It could be as bad as I thought, or it might not be as bad as I imagined.

But whatever the case, there was no positive result.

The princess must be contemplating ways to mess with me even now.

Of course, ignoring the appointment with the princess was also an option to avoid all this.

…It was just an option.

‘I would rather die.’

Breaking a promise with the princess?

No matter what, an uncontrollable backlash would surely come.

‘Haa…’

As I sighed deeply, a carriage with the black shield symbol of the Calliope family arrived.

‘…Then, I pray I survive this time as well…’

I prayed to an unknown entity and opened the door.

Contrary to expectations, the journey to Calliope was extremely comfortable.

There wasn’t a single attack from common bandits, and the weather was fair, considering we were heading north.

Moreover, the spacious and luxurious carriage made it so that I didn’t even get motion sickness.

‘…How boring.’

At first, I spent time practicing telekinesis, but that soon became boring.

Still, I never skipped reviewing the main story every day.

Just like how ‘Academy Trainer’ always had been, chapter 3 was filled with death events, so a minor oversight could become a significant threat.

‘The biggest turning point in chapter 3 is…’

It’s about who to support as the next head of the Calliope family.

The successors of the Calliope family consisted of three sons and one daughter.

First, ‘Ereden Calliope.’

He had the legitimacy of being the eldest son, excellent looks, and swordsmanship, and he has a sincere heart for the people.

Apart from being somewhat overly blunt, he was a person without any human shortcomings.

‘But the problem is that he’s not interested in politics…’

If Ereden had stepped forward, the second son ‘Kael Calliope’ wouldn’t have dared to covet the position of successor, but unfortunately, Ereden was so aloof that he even rejected support from his maternal family.

The second son Kael was like the original protagonist of a ruffian novel.

This meant he had a trashy personality and worthless talent.

Despite having the Calliope background, he failed the entrance exam of Carnea Academy.

Originally, he should have been pushed out of the successor competition, but…

The problem was his twin sister ‘Reika Calliope’ and their mother ‘Garcia Maisha.’

Especially their mother Garcia had immense ambition for power and the action to achieve it.

Being from the Maisha family, she seized the position of mistress of the Calliope family.

The Maisha family was of such a low standing that even the nearly ruined Beatrice family was considered higher in rank compared to them.

So how did a Maisha family member dare to become the mistress of the Calliope family?

She raped the current head, ‘Edad Calliope.’

After losing his first wife, Ereden’s mother, Edad Calliope fell into despair. One night, during a drunken sleep, she crept into his bedroom and bore his seed.

Officially, they were in love and married, overcoming the difference in status. But knowing the backstory, it seemed absurd to me.

Then, what kind of person was Reika Calliope, the only daughter among the successors?

…To summarize in one word, she’s a villainous young lady.

Just like the villainous young ladies with trashy personalities before reincarnation.

Still, compared to Kael, she had a sharp mind.

‘Haa…’

A rascal, a villainous young lady, and a stepmother…

Looking at it this way, it seemed like they gathered all the typical villains from novels.

‘…Well, if you think about it that way, I’m not much different.’

As the third son of the Calliope family and in the most unique yet dangerous position, ‘Yujin Calliope’.

As always, but especially in chapter 3, the fate of the family and the scenario’s conclusion could change drastically with one of my choices, so I had to be more careful.

Hiiing—!

Just then, the horse neighed, and the carriage came to a halt.

After a long journey, we finally arrived at the Calliope family’s main residence.

As I sat and waited, the carriage door opened, and a distinguished middle-aged man with neatly combed white hair in a black suit bowed gracefully.

“…Alfredo.”

“It’s been a while, Young Master. Have you been well?”

Next to the kind-smiling Alfredo, a maid with tanned skin peeked her head out.

“It’s been a while, too, Emma.”

“Young Master! I missed you so much!”

Seeing Emma’s bright smile made me chuckle as well.

“I’m sorry I couldn’t come to fetch you…”

“It’s fine. It’s natural for the head butler to be busy. Thanks to you guarding the family, I could focus on my studies with peace of mind.”

“…Haha, I’m just grateful you say so, Young Master.”

“Young Master! I’ve been working hard cleaning too!”

“Yes, Emma. You’ve done well.”

I gently patted Emma’s head and smiled softly.

If someone who knew my true nature saw this, they would be dumbfounded by my kindness, but it was only natural.

….They were the keys to my survival in Chapter 3.
