Chapter 51
So embarrassing!
Only after finishing her bath did Ephinia come back to her senses, and even that bath had been given by Kasselard.
Her body had gone completely limp, and she couldn’t even stand on her own. She couldn’t possibly show herself in that state to the maids of the Lanas household. So she had allowed Kasselard to wash her… and he had bathed her with genuine delight.
‘And he’s the Crown Prince.’
Because he had touched and stimulated her here and there, she had climaxed twice more. Thanks to that, the guiding had continued until the very end, and his waves seemed to have relaxed considerably.
832.
Considering the guiding so far, it was an encouraging number.
Two more times and his waves would reach a stable range. One or two more after that, and they would be completely released. It could be said that she had fulfilled one of the five sessions the Empress had set as a condition.
Because of that, she didn’t regret going that far with Kasselard, but his reaction bothered her. Perhaps because he had liked that Ephinia allowed kissing midway, he kept sticking close and tried to kiss her whenever their eyes met.
At first it didn’t seem strange, and it seemed like it would help with guiding, so she let it be… but gradually it began to feel odd.
‘It’s all because the match rate is high.’
“Please… stop. My lips will swell.”
“It’s fine. I thought that might happen, so I used healing magic earlier.”
Kasselard said with a grin. He had become even more affectionate than before the guiding, so much so that he seemed ready to drip sweetness without even being prompted.
Every time their eyes met, his gaze sparkled as if she were unbearably cute, and it was overwhelmingly burdensome.
‘Why is he like this?’
She was the one who had been overwhelmed by sensation, while Kasselard had only received guiding. Even though his waves had dropped below 1000, he was still far from 300. And yet he was acting as if he actually liked Ephinia.
‘…It’s just the aftereffects of guiding. It can’t be helped. Don’t misunderstand.’
Telling herself to stay clear-headed, Ephinia glared at Kasselard. If she didn’t at least do that, it felt like he would not listen properly.
“Are you trying to tempt me? If you’ve recovered your strength, should we do it once more?”
“Th, that’s not it!”
She tried to speak firmly, but she felt her strength draining as Kasselard kept clinging to her. Pushing his face away, Ephinia said,
“I mean… about the kissing. I’d like it if you kept that a secret.”
“Why?”
A faint crack seemed to appear in his smiling expression. Ephinia glanced at him cautiously and continued.
“We agreed not to do deep contact guiding… so if people hear that we kissed, they might misunderstand.”
“…It wasn’t full penetrative guiding anyway.”
“Yes.”
When she nodded, Kasselard looked at her closely with a thoughtful expression. Seeing his face, she became certain.
This person is plotting something.
His attitude had clearly been strange since the guiding. It was true that Transcendents naturally became softer toward their Guides after their guiding sessions, so that couldn’t be helped… but she couldn’t shake the feeling that he had some ulterior motive.
As if reaching a conclusion in his mind, Kasselard smiled brightly and said,
“Fine. But in exchange… we can kiss as much as we want when no one’s watching, right?”
No. How did that conclusion come out of this?
“Hmm? If that’s not the case, then I won’t do it.”
‘Well… it’s not like I planned to completely refuse. It does help with guiding him, so…’
Any kind of contact with him made Ephinia feel overwhelmed. It couldn’t even be compared to when they had only touched with their hands. Especially kissing Kasselard was so stimulating that it made her forget everything around her and lose herself, so it was hard to choose never to do it again.
“It’s fine, right? We have to keep guiding anyway.”
As he murmured while playing with her lower lip, Ephinia blinked slowly. There was still a long way to go.
“F-Fine! But keep some distance… mm?!”
Kasselard immediately leaned into her and captured her lips. His tongue pushed past the entrance, catching Ephinia’s retreating tongue and sucking it in a shameless, intimate way.
“Mmh…!”
In an instant, she was pulled fully into his large body, her chin held as he explored the inside of her mouth. She had long since bathed and changed into fresh clothes, yet Ephinia felt as if she were completely stripped bare under his kiss.
‘Why does the inside of my mouth… ah…!’
Even when she tried not to feel it, his tongue exploring every part of her mouth felt good. Ephinia gasped, desperately holding onto the last thread of her composure. He held her jaw gently, without hurting her, but the way he tasted deep inside her mouth as if devouring her made her dizzy.
