[Episode 28] – Awakening

“…….”

What is this? Is this a dream? I tried to escape reality, but the numerous red marks on my body, the pain in my waist, the muscle pain all over my body, and the vague memories that remained forced me to face reality, telling me that this was not a dream.

‘No, what is this?’

It was true that if you are too surprised, you won’t even be able to make a sound. I wanted to scream right away, but I just stared at the red marks on my body with my mouth wide open. Where on earth did I get it? No way, no way, no way.

I jumped out of bed and ran to the dressing table. When I looked in the mirror, I saw that there were more marks all over my body than I had seen down there. Red marks were densely engraved on my neck and even my shoulders.

Trisha’s large breasts were harder to find white parts. Seeing the red buds blooming on the white flesh, I turned around to check her buttocks just in case, and there were red marks densely engraved on her buttocks as well.

I put one leg on the dressing table chair and spread my legs to check the reddest spot, looking into the mirror. Wow, there are even teeth marks here. I looked at my body, stained with red spots all the way down to my thighs, and I could only laugh in vain.

“Ha. No… Really. Elise…!”

They say that when you are too embarrassed, you become speechless. This was also true. Even though I wanted to get angry, I could only laugh in vain. Even when I slowly pulled down her panties and looked at her bare skin, it was the same. No, the red marks that she left behind were even more persistent.

You slept with your daughter while drunk? No, you got pounced on? But the fact that you got pounced on me was more embarrassing. Does it make sense for a daughter to pounce on her mother? Or am I misunderstanding something? No matter how much I try to deny it, the image of Elise kissing me keeps coming to my mind.

‘What the hell is the problem..?’

I walked to the bed with trembling steps and flopped down. When I looked at the bed, I saw the bed sheets that were crumpled and stained as if they were showing the intense lovemaking from the night before. I couldn’t even remember properly, but my lower abdomen was ticklish as if my body was lacking in ‘relieving’ after a long time.

No matter how hard I tried to understand Elise, I couldn’t. Was it because she lost her parents early and had a distorted sense of family love? Or was it because of Catherine’s ‘lesson’ that a concubine satisfies a legitimate wife? Or was it because Catherine loved Elise too much?

“Mother. Are you awake?”

The culprit of this incident opened the door slightly and stuck his head out. He saw me lying on the bed in only my underwear, and then entered the room without my permission. Unlike anyone else, he came to me with a face that was shiny as if he had slept very well.

Elise looked at me, folded the corners of her eyes and smiled, scanning my body. As if checking the traces of the lovemaking she left on my body last night. She smiled with satisfaction and sat down next to me, starting to stroke my thighs. Wow… Really…

I pinched and twisted the back of Elise’s hand that was on my thigh, then shook it off. ‘Ouch! ‘ Elise cried out slightly as if she was in pain, but she still didn’t try to move away from me. What on earth should I say to this child?

“…You know this is wrong, right..?”

“What is it?”

“What are you talking about…That’s right..!”

When I raised my head and looked into Elise’s eyes, I couldn’t explain it, so I had no choice but to keep my mouth shut. Her eyes showed absolutely no guilt about what had happened yesterday. Instead, she asked me back as if there was something wrong, so I was at a loss as to how to explain it.

Elise smiled faintly and quickly climbed onto my thighs, wrapping her arms around my neck. In an instant, I was looking down at her, so I tried to quickly get away, but Elise didn’t move from above me. Then she smiled softly and whispered in my ear with her lips.

“Did you have sex with your mother last night?”

“You, you..!”

The word ‘sex’ coming out of Elise’s mouth almost took my breath away. While some people try to beat around the bush, Elise just hits the target straight in the chest. As I opened my eyes wide and gasped, Elise stroked my cheek and let out a cute chuckle.

“…You can’t tease adults.”

“Are you kidding me? Did it seem like I was kidding my mother?”

Elise’s expression changed sharply in an instant after hearing my words. Then Elise leaned toward me, grabbed my wrist with one hand, and held it firmly above my head. In an instant, I was tied in a cheering pose and unable to move.

Elise grabbed her bra with her free hand and pulled it down. The bra that had been holding her breasts loosened and her large breasts spread out to the side and swayed. As Elise grabbed her sagging breasts with one hand as if squeezing them, a groan of pain escaped from me without me knowing.

“Ugh..!”

“Mom. Did you think I had sex with you for a moment? Or did you think I was just curious about class? No. You were all wrong.”

Elise’s voice trembled as if she was deeply moved by emotions, as if she was squeezing her chest hard. She poured out all the emotions she had been holding back to me, as if she had no intention of making yesterday’s events a ‘mistake’. The corners of Elise’s eyes, looking down at me, looked slightly red.

“I wanted to do this from the moment I first saw my mother. I wanted to mix my body with her, make love to her, touch her, and make her look only at me. But, I also know. My mother doesn’t want me to do this. But, still, I didn’t want to lose my mother to someone else.”

“Taken away..?”

“You kissed Lady Catherine, didn’t you? You stuck your chest out and shook your hips as if you wanted to do it again? And you made excuses saying we were just friends…”

“That, that’s…”

I shut my eyes tightly without realizing it. Damn Catherine. In the end, I thought that this happened because Elise saw that. No, maybe it was Elise’s problem in the first place. I knew that Elise ‘liked’ Trisha, but I didn’t know it was like this.

I just thought she was clinging to Trisha, who filled the void left by losing her parents at an early age and not receiving much affection. While I was wondering what on earth I should say to Elise, Elise, who thought I was thinking of Catherine, grabbed my heart as if it was being twisted.

“Ahh..!”

“Just focus on me right now, Mother.”

As Elise squeezed her breasts, her nipples bulged out between her fingers. As she pinched the protruding nipples between her fingers and applied pressure, the stimulated nipples gradually grew larger and swelled hard. Elise saw this and began to knead her breasts with even more force.

“Stop…it hurts…ah..!”

The only way I could protest was to scream in pain. Trisha, who had never lifted more than a pen, could not overcome Elise, who had to do all the dirty work. Elise continued to pour out her jealousy on me, which stemmed from her sense of loss at having been taken away by Catherine.

“Mom? Are you awake?”

“Lily, Lily?! W-what’s going on?!”

The moment Elise’s hand was about to go down, there was a knock on the door. Only then did she release the hand that was pressing me and raise her head, with a truly regretful expression. Ignoring that expression, I tried to get up and tell her to come in, but when I saw the red marks all over her body, I wrapped the blanket around her entire body.

“It’s already lunchtime. Are you sick? Can I come in?”

“Okay, wait a minute! Just wait a minute!”

I glared at Elise and told her to somehow sort things out. Then Elise confidently opened the door and greeted Lily, who was standing there blankly. When my door opened, Lily tilted her head as if she was a little puzzled when she saw Elise instead of me.

“Huh? Elise? Why are you in mommy’s room…”

“My mother seemed a little unwell… I was taking care of her for a while.”

“Huh? Mom, are you sick a lot?”

Lily came into the room and came to me. I quickly pulled the blanket up to my chin to hide the red marks, laid down, and looked at Lily. Since Trisha had just recently fallen seriously ill with a fever, Lily put her hand on her forehead to check her temperature, and then put her hand on mine.

“Thank goodness… I don’t think I have a fever.”

“Oh, I’m just tired. Don’t worry too much.”

Lily glanced at me again as if she was still worried, and I took my hand out of the blanket and held her hand as if it was okay. It was ridiculous that I was pretending to be sick because of Elise, but even so, there was no way to explain the red marks all over my body now.

“Don’t worry, Sister. I’ll take care of your mother.”

“Yeah…Me too, to Sylvia…Ah…”

“…?”

When Lily’s name came out, Sylvia’s face turned pale. Then, she looked at me and whispered in Elise’s ear. Elise, who heard Lily’s story, nodded and said, “I’ll come see you later.” What’s the story? Daughters talking in secret in front of their mothers…?

“Then, Mom. Take care of yourself. Elise, please take good care of Mom.”

“Yes. Leave it to me.”

Instead of answering, I smiled and sent Lily away. Once again, Elise and I were alone in the room, and the awkward atmosphere continued. Perhaps Elise thought that her actions had been excessive earlier, but now that her mind was cool, she hesitated and slightly distanced herself from me.

“Elise.”

“Yes, yes. Oh, mother…”

Elise’s voice trembled as she sensed that she was going to get scolded. I didn’t mean to scold her… but I didn’t mean to forgive her either. At least Elise needed to reflect for a while, and I also needed time to think. Time to think about Elise’s feelings.

“…For the time being, you are not allowed to enter my room.”

“Ah…”

Elise, with an expression that seemed as if the ground had collapsed, lowered her head as if it was really over. When I saw Elise’s tears welling up in her eyes, I felt a little sorry for her. It’s not that I don’t understand why Elise wants ‘love’ from me, her only remaining parent, but I can’t forgive her for her actions today.

What’s sad is sad, and what’s wrong is wrong, so I hope they take some time to reflect. And I also need time to think of a way to prevent Elise from getting hurt.

“And…I’ll think about your feelings too, so I hope something like today doesn’t happen.”

“Ah…yes, yes..!”

Only then did Elise look at me with her usual bright smile. She was such a pretty child when I saw her like this, but I never dreamed that she had such thoughts behind that harmless and bright smile. I let out a small sigh as I saw Elise approaching me again, smiling brightly and timidly like a puppy.

‘Trisha… how did you raise your daughter…’
