Chapter 40: Chapter 40 - Melting Ice
"Bitch? And Master... you say?"
Agnes muttered with a blank expression.
She was quite shocked by the conversation she faintly heard from far away.
'What the hell is going on... No, there's no way the captain would do that. I must have been hallucinating.'
She always had a cool and calm personality, so much so that she unconsciously tried to rationalize herself.
The man named Wolfgang von Schwarz in Agnes' mind was a perfect superman, a legendary hero from a fairy tale.
That's why she couldn't accept the fact that the captain she served was a paraphilic who enjoyed sadistic acts and verbally abused the maid without hesitation.
"Haa, haa…"
However, just as turning away from an unpleasant scene doesn't make it disappear, Agnes was already clearly staggering.
She didn't even notice the presence of the old man who had come close to her, as the subject of the article.
"Miss. What brings you here?"
Agnes, who was biting her lower lip tightly, answered the old butler who was looking at her with suspicious eyes, trying her best to hide her agitation.
"Nice to meet you, butler. I am Agnes of the Baron Ihelm family, a subordinate of Captain Wolfgang. Could I possibly meet you now?"
"Ah! You are Vice Captain Agnes. I have heard a lot from the master. She is a very capable subordinate with outstanding talent and work ability that is hard to believe for her young age."
"…Did the captain really say that?"
But how can the heart of a woman in love be so cruel?
Just a moment ago, his expression, frozen in shock, immediately melted away like snow upon hearing the praise from the person he loved.
Agnes thought she looked like a fool right now.
"Hehe, of course. My master often says that he regrets not being able to treat his precious subordinates better. Contrary to his appearance, he has a warm heart."
"That is indeed true. Your Majesty has truly precious eyes."
"Sir Agnes, you have a truly kind heart. How can you be so polite to this worthless old man?"
It was just a formal conversation, but Agnes's flustered mood calmed down a little as they exchanged warm words.
In the midst of calming down and having a friendly conversation.
"But, unfortunately, your timing is not very good. I think my master will not be able to welcome guests until around noon."
An unpleasant answer came back.
There was only one reason to be busy this early in the morning.
The old butler's answer combined with the embarrassing conversation she had heard earlier, causing Agnes to have unpleasant thoughts.
'Well, the captain is human too. He can have embarrassing hobbies. Considering the corruption of the aristocratic society, it's not really a flaw.'
Her heart was not weak enough to be broken by this.
Agnes clenched her fists and raised her head proudly, declaring.
"It doesn't matter. If it's not rude, can I wait until the captain is finished with his business?"
"Yes, of course. It's getting warmer, so please come in."
However, as soon as she entered the mansion, the vague truth gradually took on a concrete form and began to press Agnes hard.
The sight of the old butler guiding the guest to the study, which was far away, instead of the perfectly good reception room.
"I'm sorry, but due to unavoidable circumstances, the reception room is currently not in a condition to receive guests. Please wait here for a moment."
"Yes, I will."
There was definitely something in the reception room.
As the old butler disappeared, Agnes carefully approached the unoccupied armchair, swept the armrest once, and muttered to herself softly.
"It's okay, sir. Such desires are definitely something that the noble princess of the empire would never accept. In that case, I will handle it from now on."
... on behalf of the nameless, lowly bitch who dared to accept the master's desires.
She quietly swallowed the poisonous words that she could not bring herself to say out loud.
Agnes, who had swept her lower abdomen once, walked out of the study while hiding her presence as much as possible.
—Sneak, sneak…
Although she encountered several servants on her way to the reception room, her actions were never interrupted.
If a knight of such a high level who had even manifested his mind decided to hide his presence as much as possible, it would be difficult for ordinary people to detect his presence.
Agnes, who arrived at the reception room like a ghost without being noticed by anyone, was met with moans echoing through the thick walls.
The frenzied noise made by a man and a woman in pleasure.
"Ah… Master…♡ Inside… Inside…! Give me a lot of Master's seed…!"
"You're such a shallow bitch."
—Slap!
"Ahh… Good… Good…! Hit me more!"
"Do you really not know what shame is?"
The sound of bare skins rubbing together without pause.
A hot conversation that made it hard to even imagine what was happening.
Listening to it made her feel like she was losing her mind.
Agnes barely managed to suppress the urge to freeze everything around her.
A faint light leaking through the slightly open door caught her eyes as she stood blankly in the dark hallway with a blank expression.
Swallowing quietly so as not to be heard, Agnes approached the light as if possessed.
An impulsive action that she would never normally do.
'Who is it? What kind of woman is it that would make the manager do that...'
Agnes finally brought her head close to the reception room door and was shocked to see the scene.
—Thump!
It couldn't have been, but it felt like her heart was beating.
"Haaah... Churp...!"
"Whew, this is so wild I can't stand it."
An intense act like an animal.
The male who climbed on top while growling and the female who accepted it while panting were deliriously exploring each other's bodies and entangled in a dizzying manner.
'W-what is this... '
Agnes couldn't help but doubt her own eyes.
The identity of the female who was being brutally crushed by the large man with an incredibly muscular body and who seemed to be extremely happy was clearly...
The princess of the empire, Alicia von Diana Solaris.
She was the most noble woman on the continent.
An unbearable shock struck Agnes' mind. She felt as if her thoughts would go numb at any moment.
Why? How? There was no time to even raise her head in question.
—Sniff…
Agnes's hand, which had been staring inside the reception room as if possessed, slowly moved toward a secret place inside the pretty dress.
An act that was carried out without her knowing.
Was it because the sight of a man and a woman indulging in primitive pleasure stimulated her desire?
Or, was it because she had decided to lose her mind due to the weight of the truth that she couldn't bear?
Maybe it was both.
"Let's go, Alicia!"
"Yes! Please come quickly, Master!"
The moment when a pair of female and male reached climax.
'Huh!!'
Agnes's waist arched like a bow as she watched.
............…..
It was truly a confusing morning.
How confused she had been, having to deal with Alicia, who had fallen asleep exhausted, but who had demanded the act again as soon as she woke up.
"Koo…"
In the end, it was up to me to send Alicia, who was barely sleeping with her disguise spell cast, back to the Palace of Light.
"Oh my…"
I shook my head as I got up from my seat, carrying her on my back, who was drooping.
This time, instead of going to bed, I stayed up all night in the reception room. I had to reflect on this.
Even though the fact that the maid 'Risha' working at the Palace of Light and I were in a secret relationship was already implicitly known to the servants of the mansion…
The noise from the violent act could have leaked out through the soundproof wall of the reception room.
If someone had heard, wouldn't it be truly shameful for a human being, regardless of their status?
"Huh?"
As I thought that, I opened the door and was about to go outside.
—Slap…
"Damn it."
It seemed that someone had noticed what we were doing.
Judging by the puddle of water, it seems the maid who was trying to bring her something to drink was surprised and overturned the teapot.
Well, it would have been too much trouble to clean it up right away. I'll take care of it later.
Right now, I feel a little guilty even scolding the maid for her small mistake. That's how low my morality has fallen.
I should refrain from doing this in the future. Even if I enjoy it next time, at least in the bedroom.
I called the butler to take Alicia, who was on my back, home.
"Ah. Master, did you cough?"
"Yes…"
Then, he looked at us with a strange look, hesitated as if he had something to say, and then quietly lowered his gaze.
I thought I knew what he wanted to say without him having to say it out loud.
"Ahem, will you prepare a carriage for me?"
"Yes, I understand."
I was grateful for the butler's consideration and consideration, and as I turned my gaze out the window, I saw the sun completely spread across the sky.
The old man, who was about to leave to prepare the coachman, suddenly remembered something and called me over.
"Ah! Master. A guest came and left earlier."
"Guest, who?"
"Sir Agnes. She clearly said she would wait until the master came out, but she suddenly said something urgent came up and left."
"I see… I'm really sorry about this."
Did the vice-captain come to visit?
I felt guilty for not being able to properly greet the guest, but on the other hand, I thought it was fortunate.
If we had met, it would have been very awkward.
"Ugh…"
"Even though I'm on vacation, something keeps happening."
I adjusted my position so that Alicia, who was tossing and turning on my back, could be more comfortable, and I was lost in thought.
Since I was going out anyway, I might as well take care of the things I could only do during my vacation.
Still, I had to send Alicia away first and then go see the vice-captain right away. There was nothing urgent, and it was the right thing to do, morally.
I felt bad for making her wait and not even showing up. I should at least treat her to a big meal at a nice restaurant as an apology.
