Chapter 131
“Ah, hic, ahng, haahng!”
Thump-thump-thump-thump, with his violent thrusting, her moans grew abnormally high-pitched. Through her helplessly parted lips, a soft tongue suddenly pushed its way in. Hup, hngg! With both above and below completely blocked, she couldn’t breathe, but her extremely sensitized body accepted even that as pleasure.
Just as Psyche was about to reach another climax, Terche rapidly thrust inside her and firmly pressed against her most sensitive spot.
“…!”
“Kuk…”
From the violently elevated pleasure, Psyche couldn’t even breathe for a moment. As she finally moaned while her body jerked dramatically, the member buried inside her swelled as if about to burst, and her insides were drenched with warmth. Her eyelashes trembled.
Perhaps because she thought it was finally over? Gradually her consciousness blurred and strength drained from her entire body. Feeling her eyes slowly closing, she sank into darkness.

Psyche gazed out the window with a worried expression. The sky, oblivious to her concerns, remained perfectly clear and bright without a single cloud.
It had already been eleven days since Zephyros sent his last letter. Normally, he would have sent something before a week had passed, so why was it so quiet? They say no news is good news, but in Zephyros’s case, that was an exception. Had he ever been this silent before?
‘I really don’t understand what he’s plotting.’
Psyche anxiously chewed on her lip.
This wasn’t the only concerning thing. As her senses became more developed, she could easily overhear conversations from various places. Thanks to this, she also knew that Zephyros had been strangely quiet lately.
And about an hour ago,
‘The movements of Xenia and Venetos are suspicious.’
She had heard information that the movements of enemy countries were unsettling.
‘That’s not something we need to worry about. It’s a matter for His Majesty to handle. If he needs us, he’ll call for us. We just need to respond when summoned.’
When Helios relayed the information, Rezus dismissed it like that and immediately changed the subject. It was an incredibly perplexing response.
That was his entire reaction to hearing that enemy countries’ movements were suspicious?
Of course, Rezus wasn’t wrong. Whatever they did was indeed a matter for His Majesty the Emperor to handle. If needed, he would call for them, and they should respond when summoned—that was also correct.
But perhaps because she had dreamed of the Emperor being assassinated a few days ago, she simply couldn’t dismiss Rezus’s reaction lightly.
She didn’t know who would assassinate the Emperor, but she was certain about one thing—it would be one of the Arje family heads.
In other words, the culprit would assassinate the Emperor despite knowing that enemy countries’ movements were suspicious. Would the culprit really not know that Sicardo would walk the path to destruction afterward?
‘Perhaps… the culprit wanted Sicardo’s destruction from the beginning and assassinated the Emperor for that reason.’
But why? What reason would there be to desire Sicardo’s downfall? Especially for the Arje family, who held the power?
Knock knock. The sound of knocking interrupted her thoughts.
“Phrena, may I come in?”
Psyche slightly frowned at Helios, who had already opened the door and entered. Regardless of her reaction, he closed the door without permission and walked toward her.
“That expression makes you look like a prickly cat, Phrena.”
“…What do you want?”
“What do I want? Between us?”
He wiggled his eyebrows as if feeling hurt and turned down the corners of his mouth.
“I just wanted to see you.”
For an instant, tension crept across Psyche’s face. Currently, no one was in the mansion except for Helios and herself. It seemed he had deliberately sought her out while the other family heads were away… but what could he want? Her mind was too occupied with complex thoughts to deal with him right now.
Just as she let out a small sigh, Helios, who had somehow approached very close, strongly embraced her waist from behind as if capturing her.
“Why are you suddenly…!”
“Act for me.”
Her struggling movements stopped. Helios pulled her even closer into his arms and whispered.
“Pretend that you love me.”
“……”
“I tried to imagine what it would be like if you loved me. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t quite picture it. So, Phrena, act for me.”
When his thick breath and secretly lowered voice clung to her ear, her body trembled slightly.
“You never know. If I like your performance, I might help you escape from here.”
“…I don’t need your help, so please leave.”
Psyche pushed him away with all her might. She didn’t think he would budge, but surprisingly, Helios stepped back willingly.
“…I suppose not.”
