Chapter 144: Imperial Audience (1)
The morning dawned with determination.
Today is the day I make Ariella Raven mine!
“Oppa…”
Ugh!
Cecilia’s soft flesh, clad in nothing but air, pressed against my chest.
We spent the entire day having pregnancy sex and fell asleep connected…
After a night of blissful union, my dick nestled inside Cecilia, hardening and softening in sync with my breath!
I push my cock into Cecilia’s pussy, perfectly molded to its shape.
Just that alone was enough to make me cum.
I wrap my arms around Cecilia, who’s sleeping with her tits on my chest, and gently rock my hips.“Uh… Ung…”
I gaze at Cecilia’s adorable face, caught between sleep and wakefulness.
Kissing her forehead, I thrust into her pussy without permission…
Opening her eyes, Cecilia giggles as she watches me eat her out.
“Good morning, Taeyang Oppa…”
“Ah…!”
I spill my seed inside Cecilia’s custom-fit pussy.
Spurt!Spurt!
A morning greeted with internal ejaculation!
I thought it was a morning of determination…!
“You like my pussy? Master.”
Cecilia clings to me, squeezing my cock tightly as I cum inside her.
Ah…!
Spurt!Spew!
Right from the morning, I pump thick semen into Cecilia’s pussy…
And just like that, we’re having sex.
I put Cecilia on top and pump my hips.
“Cecilia, Cecilia…!”
“Ahh…!”
Someone once said:
It’s not pain or hardship that holds us back, but comfort.
Compared to the daunting task of conquering Ariella…
The time spent clinging to Cecilia’s pussy, getting milked dry…
Can I… really do this?
Why am I fingering Cecilia’s pussy at Raven Manor?
Even as I question myself, I’m defeated by Cecilia’s clenching pussy…
And I pour all my thick semen inside her.
Cecilia, whose affection for me has skyrocketed beyond the universe, continues to cling to me even outside the room.
It’s not like I hate it. I don’t hate it, but…
“Ehehe, it feels nice walking with you, Oppa.”
“Y-yeah. Me too.”
Just Cecilia pressing her soft tits against me drains my strength and makes my dick go hard. I can’t bring myself to tell her to let go.
We walk to the dining room, stuck together like lovers…
“…”
I think I made a mistake.Along with the inner monologue condemning my complacency, I’m exposed to Ariella’s cold gaze.
“Oppa, ahhh.”
“Uh, yeah… Ahhh…”
What the hell are we doing…
I didn’t intend to flaunt our lovey-dovey act in front of Ariella, who just lost her husband…
I really need to say something.
“Cecilia…”
“Oppa, you have something on your lips.”
Cecilia’s lips meet mine.
Smooch.
“Ah…”
“Hehe. Got it. Yum.”
“…”
I can’t, I just can’t tell her to let go.
What kind of jerk would say that?
Instead, I succumb to my desires, kneading Cecilia’s breasts.
I thought that was the natural thing for a man with a dick to do.
“…Sigh.”
Ariella left her seat much earlier than usual.
Whatever!
Back in the room, I’m having sex with Cecilia again.
“Kyaa…!”
“Cecilia, spread those legs!”
“Gonna pound my pussy with your pervert dick again? Ung?”
“Hell yeah!”
I have to unleash this frustration all over Cecilia’s pussy.
Even though I know it’s wrong, I can’t stop thrusting my hips.
SquishSquishSquishSquishSquish…!
“Ahh, ung… Ung… I’m so happy. Oppa…!”
Even though I’m thinking of another woman while pounding her pussy.
Cecilia embraces me tightly.
Relying on her kindness, I experience a poisonous pleasure every time I ejaculate inside her, a feeling that accumulates in my chest.
It feels incredibly good to escape reality, but…
Once I cum, an indescribable bitterness fills my heart.
Cecilia wouldn’t let go of me, and I wouldn’t let go of Cecilia.
Another day passed like that.
And then…
As I snuck out of the room while Cecilia was sleeping, I ran into Ariella.
Why is Ariella here…?
“Lady Ariella.”
“Guest.”
Ariella’s voice was ice-cold.
“Isn’t it… enough?”
“Excuse me…?”
“The Raven family is the eyes and ears of Her Majesty. It would be problematic for you to remain here any longer.”
She’s telling me to leave.
My heart ached.
The time I’ve spent here has been fulfilling.
Because it was so fulfilling, I couldn’t move forward.
With Cecilia’s pussy right there, why would I…
Those breasts…
Are they just seeming grand because I can’t have them?
Soon, laziness and boredom took over my mind.
Like a fox calling grapes sour because it can’t reach them, hostility towards Ariella bloomed within me.
“Are you chasing away the man who saved your life?”
“…”
“…You owe me your life.”
I regretted the words as soon as they left my mouth.
And…
I couldn’t meet her eyes.
Ariella turns her back and walks away.
I’m qualified, I’ve proven myself?
I haven’t changed as a person…
No matter how you spin it, I’m no match for a woman like Ariella.
The charms that only work in bed are meaningless if you can’t even get a woman into bed.
I…
Only felt this sense of despair after coming to this manor, instead of staying in the city.
As if sensing my troubled mood as I returned to the room, Cecilia cautiously approached me.
“Oppa, what’s wrong…?”
“…”
“Did something happen?”
Damn it, Geum Taeyang.
You’ve always relied on a mommy’s horny pussy and taken the easy way out.
…To think I have nothing to offer in front of the woman I truly love.
I pull Cecilia, who’s reading my mood, into an embrace.
“Oppa?”
“Sorry, I’m just a bit shaken.”
Cecilia gently strokes my hair.
“Won’t you tell me what’s wrong?”
“…”
Just leave me alone for a while.
If I say that… it’ll all start over…
I…
Blinded by Cecilia’s breasts, her beautiful face…
I find myself thinking, ‘Maybe this is all my feelings for Ariella amount to.’
There were also practical difficulties.
If there was even a glimmer of hope…
Knock. Knock.
“Who’s there?”
A distinguished guest has arrived.A distinguished guest…?
“I’ll get it. Cecilia, get dressed.”
An unexpected visitor has arrived.
Princess of the Bloodline, Seina.
The Imperial Princess herself is visiting me, in full battle gear—gas mask and all-body latex suit.
Don’t tell me…!
“Mr. Geum Taeyang.”
“……Do I need to vacate the room?”
“Pardon?”
Seina tilts her head.
“Never mind. What brings you here?”
“Please prepare to leave. Her Majesty summons you.”
“What?”
This time, it was my turn to ask.
“Your efforts in capturing the Collapser have been recognized.”
“Ah…”
Finally.
I’m meeting the Emperor of this country…
I knew this day would come, but the suddenness makes me tremble.
“Is… Her Majesty… a scary person?”
“…”
Huh…?
Seina, did you just smile?
It’s hard to tell with the gas mask…
“Mother is… a good person.”
Seina’s gentle voice eases my tension.
“I’ll get ready and come out with Cecilia.”
“Only those summoned may enter the Imperial Palace. However, if you insist…”
“She’s my assistant. We’ll go together as far as we can.”
“I’ll be waiting outside.”
There’s a chance.
Let’s try to win Ariella over by using her interest in Collapsers.
It would be ideal if I could obtain custody of Gayeon from Her Majesty.
With Lirke’s support and the ability to command Gayeon, would Ariella still be able to ignore me?
“Alright.”
I can do this.
I take a deep breath and compose myself.
“Cecilia, let’s go to the Imperial Palace!”
“Wow. Oppa, you’re being summoned by Her Majesty? That’s amazing!”
“What are you talking about? You’re an Otherworlder too.”
“It’s a great honor to be summoned by the most important person in any country!”
“I guess so, as long as you’re not being dragged there for committing a crime…”
I just hope that’s not the case.
We finish our preparations and head towards the dragon carriage waiting outside.
“We’re taking a dragon carriage?”
It’s not my first time, but it feels strange leaving Raven Manor in a dragon carriage, especially since I’m not the master.
As I think about this and look inside… I freeze.
Our Raven Manor’s Ice Queen is sitting there, resting her chin on her hand with a look of displeasure.
“…Cecilia, you go in first.”
“Is someone there? Oh. Lady Ariella. Hello!”
Nod.
Ariella silently acknowledges Cecilia’s greeting.
I’m glad I brought Cecilia along.
We had an uncomfortable conversation earlier, so it would have been awkward to be alone with her.
Ariella seemed like she wanted nothing more than to ignore me.
However…
Since coming to Raven Manor, this is the closest and longest I’ve been next to her.
“Please depart.”
Seina’s voice, who’s riding a horse outside, reaches us.
The dragon carriage slowly starts to move.
Instead of her chest, my eyes are glued to Ariella’s profile.
“…Why are you staring?”
The way she cut off her sentence at “Why” tells me she’s incredibly uncomfortable with me staring at her.
“Were you also summoned, Lady Ariella?”
“I was the one who recommended you.”
“Ariella…”
“It’s standard procedure. Don’t read too much into it.”
Ouch…
You don’t have to be so blunt about it…
No one in their right mind would treat the Emperor like their friend.
At that moment, Cecilia gently takes my hand and leans on my shoulder.
Her tail strokes my back.
…Cecilia.
Did she also realize that I was overwhelmed by Ariella’s overbearing atmosphere?
I was worried she might get in the way, but she’s comforting me instead.
This only strengthens my resolve.
It’s okay.
I envision a future where Ariella is snuggled in my arms, seeking comfort.
Strangely, imagining that while she’s right in front of me calms my heart.
Ariella’s breasts are the best in the world!
One hour, then two.
We relax in the leisurely moving dragon carriage.
In the heart of the city, besides the Magnetar Center, there was a separate palace, presumably where Her Majesty resided.
The dragon carriage comes to a stop, and Seina’s voice calls out.
“We’ve arrived. Lady Ariella.”
Ariella straightens her posture.
Jiggle!
“…O-oh…”
“…”
Ariella lets out a deep sigh and covers her breasts with her arm.
What am I supposed to do when they’re right there?
Cecilia and I follow her out.
As if accustomed to being summoned by the Emperor, Ariella and Seina head straight for the palace.
It truly is a magnificent palace.
However, the surroundings were quite deserted, as if Her Majesty didn’t reside here permanently.
“The audience chamber is this way. Lady Cecilia, please follow me. I’ll escort you to the waiting room.”
“Yes!”
After parting ways with Cecilia, I trail behind Ariella.
“Don’t answer questions that haven’t been asked.”
“Understood.”
“Even if Her Majesty speaks casually, do not get carried away and act chummy.”
“…”
Casually…?
Just how casual is she for Ariella to warn me about it?
No one in their right mind would act chummy with the Emperor.
Two skeletal male guards open the doors to the audience chamber.
“…”
High.
At the end of a path seemingly paved with gold, there are stairs leading up to a bed veiled with curtains instead of a throne.
And on that bed… lay Her Majesty.
“Your Majesty. It’s Ariella.”
The silhouette of the Female Emperor stirs.
Even though she’s just lying on her side, it’s clear she has a great figure.
A slender waist and breasts that rival Cecilia’s…
It’s hard to believe she’s someone who’s lived for almost a thousand years.
“Come closer, both of you.”
Female Emperor Sihyeon speaks.
Her voice is… beautiful too.
I know I shouldn’t be thinking this, but it feels like a young woman pretending to be the Emperor.
She gives off a more girlish vibe than one of authority or dignity.
‘…A girlish Emperor is better than a crazy tyrant.’
“You’re Geum Taeyang?”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“The Otherworlder who came through the Gate, correct?”
“Yes, he came through an unobserved Gate at the Chartreuse main estate. Regarding the recent incident in the Devil’s District…”
“Hold on.”
The Female Emperor raises her hand, cutting Ariella off.
“There’s something I need to confirm first.”
Ariella bows her head and takes a few steps back.
Her Majesty wants to speak to me directly…?
“Hey, let me ask you something. Answer honestly.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“You’re from Korea, right?”
…….
…She wasn’t Chinese!?
Is Sihyeon… a Korean name?
I’m stunned by this unexpected turn of events.
People from all sorts of worlds are being transferred here, so it’s not strange to find another case like mine… but…
The Emperor is!
“Answer me.”
“Yes, I’m Korean.”
“…Korea?”
Ariella tilts her head from behind.
Don’t get ahead of yourself, Geum Taeyang…
Just because her name is Sihyeon doesn’t mean her nationality is revealed. She could suddenly turn out to be Japanese, or even… from a completely unrelated country!
“I thought there might be a Korean coming someday, but it’s been a thousand years. It’s truly nice to meet you.”
“Ah…!”
I feel a surge of adrenaline.
I can’t contain my joy and feel like I’m going to grin like a madman.
To think that in this difficult situation, the Emperor is from the same country as me!
Finding a fellow Korean is a cause for celebration even in a foreign land, let alone another world!
I couldn’t help but believe that the Emperor shared my joy.
I’ve formed a deep connection with the Emperor whom I’m meeting for the first time, and this is incredibly good news for my pursuit of Ariella.
And then…
“Wow. You really… can’t think of anything but sex, can you?”
My heart drops to my stomach.
Did she… read my mind…?
Ariella’s face turns pale.
“I apologize, Your Majesty. I’ll escort this man out immediately.”
“It’s fine. It’s only natural for a healthy man.”
I mentally start singing the Korean national anthem.
‘Don’t let it show!’
Female Emperor Sihyeon chuckles, seemingly amused.
“Ariella is quite attractive.”
