Emperor’s Bedroom

I was walking down the corridor leading to Kaikilia’s bedroom, trying hard to calm my trembling heart. Today, more than ever, the Imperial Palace’s corridor felt incredibly short.

Since she called me to a space as significant as her own bedroom, I didn’t know what kind of thing would happen to me this time. And it’s not like I could refuse the Emperor’s command.

‘Let’s calm down.’

For now, it was clear that there was no danger of me dying at Kaikilia’s hands. Even if I misspoke once or twice, the Emperor wouldn’t pull out a holy sword and cut off my neck on the spot.

In games, it often appeared as a trap option when you least expected it, but it was different here. Just the fact that there was no danger of death was enough reason not to be nervous.

After a final check of my uniform’s appearance, I steeled myself and stood before the door to Kaikilia’s bedroom. My heart felt like it was beating several times faster than usual.

The bedroom door, compared to the doors one had to pass through to enter the central hall, was quite small. It was just tall enough for me to pass through without barely hitting my head.

However, its splendor was absolutely no less. The door’s material was pure gold, and jewels, each much larger than my pupil, adorned it in perfect harmony.

I carefully grasped the elongated handle, made solely of gold. According to the maid, the moment one grasped the handle, the protective magic carved into the door would activate.

If one was deemed to possess murderous intent or impure motives, punishment would be carried out immediately, but the conditions and principles of this punishment were unknown to anyone except Minerva-nim, the magic’s caster.

After a short while, I heard a click. It meant the lock had been disengaged. It seemed I wasn’t deemed a person with impure motives by the protective magic.

‘If I wait like this, it will open on its own, she said.’

I released the hand that had held the handle and waited for the door to open completely. Since Kaikilia had called me, no other complicated procedures that were normally required were necessary.

While waiting for the door to open, I recalled the rules Aurora-rang and the Knight Captains had told me before heading to the Imperial Palace, and the precautions the maid had urged, in my mind.

The speed should be neither too fast nor too slow. Eyes should look slightly downwards from the front, the waist should be kept straight until kneeling on the floor to show respect, but never make eye contact.

Maintaining the posture according to those precautions, I entered. As soon as I entered, the door closed again. Click. Immediately after, the lock engaged.

Click, click. I heard two more clicks.

‘…Why does it feel like there are more locked bolts than unlocked ones?’

Is it just my imagination?

Trying hard to shake off the uneasy feeling from my mind, as I stepped further into the bedroom, Kaikilia, standing inside, came into view.

She had thrown open the window, adorned with antique curtains, and was receiving the wind blowing in from outside, leaning halfway against the windowsill with a contemplative expression.

‘Her clothes…’

But, her attire was completely different from what I expected.

Kaikilia was not wearing her usual uniform, but a suit that completely enveloped her body.

A pure white dress shirt, like first snow, was the first thing that caught my eye. Since all her other clothes were black and only this was white, it strongly drew my gaze.

When she wore her uniform, her upper chest and the cleavage between them, which were fully exposed, were also hidden inside the dress shirt. The hem tucked into her suit pants added to the neatness.

Of course, it didn’t mean much. Even if not to the extent of Rije or the Pope’s sisters, her considerably large breasts were diligently asserting themselves beneath her clothes.

The buttons on the front were so tautly swollen that even her tie couldn’t completely cover them. It seemed the buttons would pop at any moment. It seemed to be because her chest was large, or her dress shirt was small.

Or both.

Due to her largely curved chest, the tie, which should have hung neatly over her dress shirt, was half-floating in the air from below her chest. Through the gap, black lingerie was faintly visible.

The dress shirt itself seemed to be made of quite thin material, as the silhouette of her underwear was clearly visible through it. It was a size that couldn’t even cover half of her chest.

The rather loose trench coat, reaching down to her ankles, was not fastened at all in the front, and thus only served to emphasize the chest caught between its folds.

Furthermore, her suit pants clung so tightly to her legs that it was questionable whether she could even sit down while wearing them, fully revealing Kaikilia’s leg line.

It was a suit so tight it brought to mind the leggings of the Golden Twilight Knights’ uniform. Her hip and thigh lines appeared much more emphasized than when she wore her uniform skirt.

Despite there being no exposure at all, it somehow gave off a very erotic feeling overall.

Her golden pupils turned towards me. The form of the holy sword she held in her hand gradually faded, then transformed into a halo of light and disappeared.

“You have arrived on time.”

“I heard you called for me. May I dare to ask your intention?”

I suppressed my questions. Originally, I wanted to ask why she had changed her clothes, but it seemed unlikely I would get a proper answer. Or she might present some absurd terms of a deal.

Kaikilia scanned me up and down a few times, then detached herself from the windowsill and began walking towards me. With each step, a ‘clack, clack’ sound echoed.

“I shall issue you a command.”

“What is your command, Your Majesty?”

I asked back, filled with tension. It was because I had no idea what command would be given.

Kaikilia’s body spun around. She turned her back to me, and twisting her pelvis while slightly spreading her arms to the sides, she adopted a pose that further emphasized her hip and waist lines.

“Undress me.”

“…Pardon?”

“I commanded you to remove my attire. You may begin with this coat.”

My thoughts paused for a moment. Truly, purely, it was because I couldn’t understand that command. Suddenly, she’s telling me to undress her? Why?

“If it’s that, then a maid would be much more-“

At the words I stammered out, Kaikilia’s head snapped around to look at me. Her golden pupils were tinged with a much colder hue than before.

“I wish to loosen this stifling attire immediately. Surely, you are not attempting to defy my command, are you?”

“Absolutely not, Your Majesty.”

“Then, prove it with your actions.”

Kaikilia said that and turned her head away again. I hesitantly approached her from behind. Even just approaching her, a subtle perfume scent wafted strongly towards me.

Once I actually got behind her, the dilemma was where to grab. If I grabbed the collar, it would be like grabbing the Emperor’s nape, and if I grabbed the front, it would become a somewhat strange and suggestive pose.

‘…Still, the latter would be better than the former, right?’

Having made up my mind, I brought my hand to the front of Kaikilia’s body. Being careful not to let my arm touch her body as much as possible, I stealthily grasped the front of her coat near her collarbone.

Since it naturally ended up looking like I was half-hugging Kaikilia from behind, I was anxious about what would happen if she got angry, but surprisingly, Kaikilia showed no reaction.

Trying hard to ignore the pure white nape of her neck faintly visible through her hair, and the mounds that boasted significant volume even beneath her dress shirt, I turned the grasped front part backward and began pulling it down.

My hand brushed past Kaikilia’s collarbone and shoulder one after another. There was no reaction in return.

The coat’s collar and shoulder line moved further down. Then, Kaikilia’s scent, trapped between her dress shirt and coat, wafted strongly into my nostrils. It was a scent that felt as sweet as honey.

For a moment, I felt a dizzying sensation in my head. I tried hard to collect myself and divert my attention elsewhere, attempting to fully remove the coat, but my arm got caught on something, causing me to falter.

It was Kaikilia’s slightly bent elbow.

Even if I tried to take off the coat, it was impossible because her elbow was bent halfway upwards. As I stood frozen, unable to do anything, Kaikilia’s head turned halfway.

“What are you doing now?”

“…Your Majesty, your arm-“

“Are you commanding me now? How truly impertinent.”

“No, it’s not that…”

I tried to somehow remove the clothes even in that state, but it was useless. To remove the coat in this state, it was physically impossible without tearing the coat entirely.

“How truly frustrating. It seems I must issue a command after all.”

“…”

“Cling to me.”

“Pardon?”

“I commanded you to cling to me.”

Kaikilia grabbed my arm and pulled me sharply forward. I was instantly pulled towards Kaikilia.

My chest and Kaikilia’s back met, and Kaikilia’s hips and my groin met. At the sensation of her soft female body felt against my lower body, my body instinctively trembled.

The sweet honey scent wafted even more intensely. The slightly damp feel of her dress shirt, from sweat, touched my chest.

It was a posture where I was practically hugging Kaikilia tightly from behind.

“Your Majesty, this is…”

“The coat is done now.”

Kaikilia’s hand subtly lifted her tie. Then, she pulled my hand towards the buttons of her dress shirt. They were buttons pulled so tautly they seemed about to burst.

“This part is more stifling, so loosen this first.”
