[Episode 31] – Bad Person

“Who are you?”

“What, what are you talking about..?”

“Who put a mark on your neck?”

“…I guess it was a bug bite.”

Catherine didn’t miss Trisha’s subtle changes. As soon as she got close to Trisha, who buttoned up all the way to her neck and didn’t usually wear makeup, the smell of makeup tickled her nose. And when she tried to make eye contact, she kept trying to avoid eye contact as if she had done something wrong.

And the crucial clue was the red mark behind Trisha’s ear. It wasn’t a large mark, but it was so thick that it looked like someone had bitten it persistently. It wasn’t a mark that she had left behind. It felt like seeing an animal marking its territory without any consideration, and it made her feel uncomfortable.

“Elise?”

“Wh,what are you talking about since a while ago..?”

“Are you thinking of getting away with it?”

“……”

The culprit was easy to predict. It seemed like Lily, who had been doing quite well in class, but after class, Lily looked at Sylvia rather than Trisha. The eyes that Lily was looking at Sylvia were like eyes looking at their next prey.

‘In the end, there’s no one but Elise.’

To be honest, Catherine had expected it to some extent. Just before returning to the count’s mansion, she noticed Elise coming down the stairs. She had kissed Trisha right in front of Elise, intending to tease her and give her a back rub.

‘I thought at best you’d kiss me like that.’

She had intended to push Elise’s back, who had difficulty crossing the line of being her daughter, but Catherine was so flustered by this unexpected situation that she was pushed back more than she had thought. She had intended to gradually advance through the class and have Trisha hug her step by step, but Elise had already taken the lead while she was away.

‘It’s annoying…’

There is an order to everything, but Elise ignored that order and crossed the line. It was her fault for making Elise jealous, but she couldn’t help but feel annoyed. It was a line she would never cross out of respect for Trisha, but the fact that Elise crossed it so easily made Catherine nervous.

And what made that anxiety even greater was Trisha’s attitude. Given her personality, there was no way Trisha would let Elise have her body. So it was clear that Elise had finally attacked her. Either she had targeted her when she was drunk, or she had aroused sympathy.

However, Trisha did not show any sign of disliking Elise. Rather, Catherine felt that she was trying to hide the fact and protect Elise from herself, so she bit her lip in impatience. In the end, Trisha’s silence made Catherine look like a bad person.

“…Yeah. You don’t want to talk about it, right? Then I can’t help it.”

“Yes…?”

“You said you wouldn’t take the tuition. I’ll cancel it. I have to take it.”

“Do, money..? Money is…”

“Ha. Money?”

Catherine burst out laughing at Trisha’s answer. She couldn’t help but laugh because Catherine’s attitude of trying to solve the problem with money was so different from hers, whether she was ignoring her or pretending not to know. When Catherine reached out and grabbed Trisha’s chest, a short scream of ‘Ugh!’ escaped Trisha’s mouth.

“Tonight. Come to my room after class.”

“Yes, yes..?”

“Don’t pretend not to know. If you understand, just nod your head.”

As Catherine clutched her chest even tighter, Trisha twisted her body. She let out a sob, as if in pain, and nodded slightly. When Catherine released her chest, which she had been squeezing upwards, and let it fall, it rippled like a drop of water falling due to gravity.

‘Yeah, I won’t notice anymore, Trisha.’

dripping.

Catherine went straight to see Elise after arriving at the mansion. She had so much to say to Elise. Was she ignoring her request, or was she really acting out of jealousy? When she knocked on the door, the door opened as soon as she knocked, and Elise greeted Catherine as if she already knew who she was.

“Welcome, ma’am.”

“Elise. Do you have anything to say to me?”

“…Come in.”

As they entered the room, Elise handed the chair over to Catherine and flopped down on the bed herself. As they sat facing each other, silence fell over the room for a moment. It was Elise who broke the silence that seemed like it would continue.

“First of all, I hit on my drunk mother without permission. I saw my wife kissing my mother. So I couldn’t stand it either…”

“So?”

“I didn’t mean to ignore your request. I also think it would be good for my mother to go to the Salisbury household as a concubine. If we get married and leave home, my mother will be left alone. If you are by my side, my mother will not be lonely.”

“…So you thought you’d accept my request and then attacked your mother? Knowing what I feel for Trisha? Taking everything I have to offer and now coveting Trisha? Isn’t that too shameless?”

“…..”

Catherine, who had been smiling slightly, raised her eyes and glared at Elise fiercely. She got up from her chair, grabbed Elise by the collar, and pulled her up to her nose. Catherine’s growling echoed through Elise. The faces they faced were a distorted mixture of anger and possessiveness.

“Do you know why I put Trisha in your class? It was all for your sake. I knew how much you felt for Trisha, and I know best how much that longing hurts. I was going to use the excuse of class to make you want Trisha until you got married. But if you knew how I felt, you should have kept the order.”

“……”

Elise said nothing. She simply accepted Catherine’s anger as it was. Elise, who thought that she was the one who had acted childishly and that Catherine’s anger was justified, could not say anything. Catherine, who was growling and throwing Elise on the bed, threw her down.

Catherine, who had thrown herself onto the chair, put her hand on her forehead as if she had a headache. In fact, Catherine was the one who started this situation, so she couldn’t get angry anymore. It was wrong of her to kiss Trisha in front of Elise and make her jealous.

“Haa…”

Catherine sighed deeply and looked up at Elise. There was no regret in Elise’s face as she looked straight at her. Catherine would never forgive Elise if she showed any regret.

For Elise to now regret it would be like admitting that she had been swayed by a momentary emotion when she attacked Trisha. Catherine had met a lot of people due to the nature of her job as a courtesan.

The worst of them were those who were swayed by a moment’s emotion and committed acts. Such people always committed acts and regretted them. Momentary emotions. Especially, those who were swayed by sexual desire and then regretted it, saying, “I shouldn’t have done that back then.” were the types of people Catherine hated the most.

So Catherine liked Elise, but also didn’t like her. She liked the way she felt pressured by her as a countess, but didn’t regret it, and she didn’t like the fact that she loved someone like herself.

“…Just know that I’m giving you a lot of concessions.”

“…I know.”

“Okay, I know. So.”

Catherine sat up from her chair and looked down at Elise. She liked the way Elise looked straight at her, but she also found it annoying. Turning her back on Elise and heading to the door, Catherine stopped as she grabbed the doorknob.

“Don’t interfere with what I do to Trisha today. It’s your fault.”

“…yes.”

Elise couldn’t say anything to Catherine’s words. Instead, she opened the door, prepared to get slapped, but Catherine didn’t hit her or even yell at her. Instead, she warned her not to touch her today, no matter what happened.

Elise had a vague idea of what Catherine was going to do, but she couldn’t stop Catherine. After all, it was Elise who had taken the initiative even though she knew Catherine’s feelings.

That evening. I thought I would rest for a day or so, but Catherine insisted on teaching. After dinner, before class began, Catherine handed me a small envelope, telling me to wear it to class. I wondered if it was some strange underwear, so I opened the envelope, but when it turned out to be true, I felt dizzy.

“Did you only get these from the Count’s house?”

“Yeah.”

“Yeah. That’s not it… What is this… How can I wear something like this in front of kids..?”

I looked at Catherine, holding the envelope as if it was absurd, but Catherine didn’t care at all and took out the underwear from the envelope and put it on my body. It was a see-through black thing. If that were all, it wouldn’t matter, but there was a hole in the middle of the panties.

If this was all there was to the underwear, it wouldn’t matter, but the panties deep inside the envelope were even worse. They were decorative panties with eight large pearls embedded in the middle of the panties, stimulating the vagina with round bumps. I immediately stuffed them into the envelope and tied the opening.

Catherine only tried to put her underwear over my clothes, but my mind was filled with images of me wearing the underwear she had suggested. When I thought about it, these were the underwear Catherine had worn at the tea party. They had lost their function as underwear that protected the body, and were just underwear used to seduce people.

“So, you’re not going to wear it?”

“I told you I can’t wear it…”

“Haa…”

Catherine’s gentle gaze suddenly turned fierce. Catherine, who had come a step closer, looked down at me with cold eyes. I knew that I was in no position to complain. Even though I knew that there would be no answer if I brought up the tuition, I couldn’t help but rebel like this every once in a while.

“Do I have to explain it again? Don’t make me say it twice.”

Realizing that my resistance was not working, I nodded helplessly. If I resisted any longer, Catherine would definitely use some method to make me wear this. It would have been better for me to wear it myself before that.

I tried to leave the room with the black see-through underwear Catherine had given me. I couldn’t wear it in front of Catherine. As I turned around and started walking out of the room, Catherine stopped me by calling me.

“Wear it in front of me.”
