Declaration (7)

* * *

I don’t enjoy death itself. More precisely, I enjoy the struggle right before death. That’s what I liked. There’s something you can only feel when you’re desperately trying to survive.

The misery I felt then. The despair. The regret. The guilt towards those left behind. It was truly trashy, but I got excited. I shouldn’t do this kind of thing, even for Aileen’s sake, but this, this… It wasn’t the kind of pleasure I could resist.

But that’s why I could feel it. That I must never forget. If death is no longer death, I’ll end up forgetting everything.

And I sink. I sank into the fading consciousness. Pulled into a white, sticky sea.

To get to the point, death was certain. No matter how much the maids helped, how could they save me when I was filled with semen from my throat to my stomach?

‘…Why am I alive?’

But I could see the world. A clear, clean world. The place where I opened my eyes again was on the bed. The bed where I had intertwined bodies with Shuriel.

“Keuek, gulp, hueup… Ubeak…….”

I struggled to push the mucus-filled throat and breathed. My face was covered in semen, so I couldn’t open my eyes properly.

“Agassi!”

“She’s opened her eyes! Bring a handkerchief! Quickly!”

“He, here!”

Then someone wiped my face. It was the maid trio who followed me in. They moved with loud noises as I coughed. And if you move your gaze along their footsteps, you can see the person who drove me to death. Shuriel.

“Yujin.”

“Shurie… Hell?”

“I might have gone too far. Are you alright? I said I’d do it normally, but I made such a spectacle… I apologize.”

Shuriel spoke in a worried tone, as if he was very sorry. He rarely apologized first, so if he apologized this sincerely, it meant he was truly sorry.

Hmm. He doesn’t need to be that sorry. I felt guilty looking at his slightly shrunken shoulders. And I thought. I’m glad I didn’t die.

“Eung. It’s okay. I’m more sorry. More than that, Shuriel?”

“What is it?”

“When did you learn divine magic?”

I said, removing the semen that filled my insides. I had a rough idea of why I was alive. Shuriel saved me. By using magic. But how could a guy who’s terrible at everything except swinging a sword do that? Before Shuriel could see the questioning look in my eyes, he said in an indifferent voice.

“When you left for Astra.”

“Then, how did you learn it?”

“I had a good teacher. A cute teacher who always chattered by my side.”

It was obvious who he was talking about.

“So… You learned magic by watching me from the side?”

“I did look up related books. It wasn’t that difficult.”

“Ha.”

Aura and magic were completely opposite in how they were used. If aura is about accumulating Mana, magic is about releasing it. So, once you learn one, you have difficulty learning the other. Because your body is already adjusted.

Here, ‘adjusted’ doesn’t mean ‘getting used to it’. It means a ‘complete change’ in the body. If you learned aura, it means your body has changed to be suitable for accumulating aura.

But.

The top-tier Aura Knight learned magic without difficulty?

“…Aren’t you getting too strong?”

It was like a Heavenly Martial Body.

“Are you one to talk?”

“Hah. I guess so.”

I smiled brightly. No matter how strong Shuriel gets, he’s still far from being equal to me. Magic is the world of mages. To face me, you need to cultivate the power to destroy the world first.

“I’m glad you can use magic. If you have any questions, I’ll teach you with all my heart. Or, I can forcibly open your Mana circuits.”

“I appreciate the offer, but I’ll have to decline. I don’t really like being touched.”

Either way, if you don’t have talent, opening the circuits won’t do any good. It’s just about making him as strong as he can be. I don’t know how strong Shuriel can get, but if he doesn’t like it, let’s just leave it at that.

“Haaaaeu…….”

I sighed, still digesting the remaining semen. The smell of semen doesn’t go away. As I smelled such a strong masculine scent, my lower abdomen trembled involuntarily. I wanted to shove my fingers in my boji and cum right away, but unfortunately, there were more people besides me and Shuriel.

“Agassi. I brought the wet towel again.”

“Oh, thank you.”

“…You’re welcome. More than that, do you two always have se, sex like that?”

The blonde maid looked at Shuriel with a fearful expression. The other maids were the same. They witnessed him ejaculating by the liter, so how could they not be scared?

“Come to think of it, if I lose consciousness, the magic would be undone. How did you do it? Did you get caught?”

“Yes. I got scolded harshly. But since it was the situation, it passed quickly… I thought I was going to die.”

Surprisingly, Shuriel didn’t react much. He just looked at me with an expression that said, ‘That’s just like you.’ It was proof that he was gradually adapting to this kind of play. As he said, he had changed. A little perverted.

Of course, I liked the perverted Shuriel too. I should refrain from sex that high-fives with death like this time, but as he masters divine magic, the number of plays we can do has increased.

“Haa….”

I moved my hands, planning various situations to incite his sadism.

“Excuse me, Agassi.”

“Yes?”

“I know you’re having a good time, but please refrain from doing anything lewd.”

“Hmm, why is that?”

“I’m talking to you right now! And we have to leave in five hours, so please move quickly.”

Ah, has the time already come? I stopped fingering my boji and sucked the semen off my fingers. I can’t just throw away these precious things.

* * *

“I knew it from when you showed me the sexual affair, but Agassi is more of a pervert than I imagined. Hmph.”

The blonde maid grumbled as she arranged my hair.

“Heuheu… But it was worth watching. Agassi’s lewd expression.”

“I’m glad you enjoyed it. Hueheu.”

“Eek. Why do you like it? You can, you can get angry!”

She couldn’t hide her anxiety. The reason was simple. She was afraid of being blamed as the culprit. She was the one who instigated me to touch my body, and she was the one who got swept away by the atmosphere and spat out harsh words.

It wouldn’t go beyond being scolded, but the relationship between employer and employee was one where blood dried up even with minor accidents. I said to her, who was pursing her lips, as if it was fun.

“It felt pretty good? Being insulted.”

“…Pervert. Vulgar. Low-class.”

“Heueung… That’s exactly it.”

This child, she might have a talent for insulting. She cried out with a tearful face as I continued to tease her.

“Aah, really! If I told you to bark like a dog, would you bark? That’s not it. Agassi is also a lady, so at least have some dignity…….”

• Seureuk.

“…Agassi?”

I squatted on the floor and raised my hand like a dog.

“―Wang!”

And I barked. Like a dog. The hem of the dress dragged on the floor, and the blood rushed to my head from squatting, but it was okay. I can do even more than this.

“…I was wrong. Please get up.”

The blonde maid waved her hands with a pale face. I smiled silently and sat back down.

“Haa… I’m going crazy. Really.”

Only the purple-haired maid’s complaint lingered in the room.

* *

There was a slight accident in the dressing room, but it passed without any problems. I felt like the work was done faster.

I let my hair down for the first time in a while. The slightly wavy hair comes down to my hips. I always tie it up, so it was very uncomfortable, but the maids’ reactions were explosive, so I thought so.

On my ears, the symbol of Ruchellini, green emeralds, were decorated in the shape of flower petals. At first, they were decorated with real flower petals, but they were changed to jewels. It was because it didn’t save face. In addition to that, various hand techniques were used, so even though it was let down, it looked very flashy.

“I’ll take the escort.”

“Yes. Shuriel.”

I take Shuriel’s hand and get on the carriage.

Perhaps because it was a palace banquet, Shuriel also put a lot of effort into it. A white suit with elegant gold embroidery. It was a contrasting color to my black dress. I admired the splendor and gave him a few compliments, but he dismissed the clothes with the family crests all over them as ‘cumbersome.’

“Hua… I’m nervous. The moment we enter, they’ll blow a trumpet to announce our status.”

“What trumpet would they blow for a mere Baron?”

“Is that so? I thought they blew it for all nobles.”

“They’ll announce it verbally, so don’t let your guard down. Especially for you, the rumors will spread in an instant.”

Before the coachman whips the whip, we talk in the slight silence. The first debut in the political world. A new noble who popped out without going through high society. They will put in a lot of effort to kick away the ladder I will climb.

If you ask if they can kick away the ladder that is deeply embedded in the ground, well, I don’t know. They should be careful not to be kicked away in reverse.

“Since I have to announce my existence anyway, let’s make a grand entrance. Do you have any good plans?”

When I asked about the plan, his head lowered slightly. He pondered for a while, then glanced at his beloved sword, Caravan.

“A good plan…”

“Excluding the use of force. You can do that anytime, right?”

“Did you think I’d draw a sword at a banquet? It’s about declaring which side we’ll support. Ruchellini supports the 4th Prince, but that doesn’t mean you do just because we do.”

“Is that what you meant.”

Politics is a headache. If I have to express my position, I want to advocate neutrality. I refuse to get involved.

“I’m neutral. Neutral.”

“If you don’t like anything, you have no choice but to go and come back quietly.”

……

…

…Is there no other way?

I was going to think about that after the banquet was over. Oh well.

“Shuriel.”

“Eung?”

“I’ve said this before, but we’ve been together for a really long time, right? And, we even had a child.”

Shuriel’s eyes narrowed. It was the same eyes I had seen once before. When I went to the mansion with the letter stating the fact of my pregnancy. He had those eyes. It meant that the man’s instinct was screaming. That once he heard these words, there was no turning back.

That’s why I continued to speak more slowly. I didn’t rush in because I had experienced it once. Because now I have the courage to be rejected.

“Eueum. It’s nothing. Just….”

• Tuk.

I take out the smallest of the jewel decorations on my head. A green emerald. The symbol of Ruchellini. Then I separate the pin attached to the jewel and bend it into a circle. It was enough if it could fit on my finger.

• Ttalgeuk.

When I put the jewel on the wire that formed the ring and fixed it, a cute ring was completed. It was shabby and crude, but the meaning was clear.

I lowered my head and just rolled the ring. The light that came in through the gap bounced off the emerald ring and sparkled. I stayed like that for a while. Until the carriage started and the sound of breathing was buried in the clattering sound.

And when the inside of the carriage was swallowed by the shadows after passing the tree-lined street, I was finally able to open my mouth. I handed the ring to Shuriel and said.

“…This. Will you put it on my hand yourself?”
