Chapter 107 – 107. Liliana Lavender (2)
From that day on, my courtship toward Tesia continued.
She deliberately did her skinship, creating a quite romantic atmosphere, and sometimes even boldly exposed her own breasts.
Tessia didn’t seem to dislike me at all, but she didn’t accept my feelings either.
I, who was aggravated by her ambiguous attitude, continued to appeal to Tessia even more passionately.
I like you. I love you. Please marry me.
Despite all her words of courtship, Tessia regarded my sincere confessions as nothing more than a practical joke.
I started to get more and more frustrated with her as she didn’t give me any specific answers.
Are you insensitive or are you deliberately ignoring it?
But she couldn’t force Tessia and make her a fait accompli.
I wanted to have a pure romantic relationship with Tessia, but in the end, I failed to confess to her even when the demon king fell.
I definitely remember that he even proposed at that time, saying, ‘Please marry me when the devil falls.’
Tessia just smiled, as she always did.
I became anxious.
In the future, the opportunity to meet Tesia will be extremely reduced.
Even the time to reveal this heart will someday disappear.
But unfortunately, Thesia did not understand my feelings in the end.
The imperial castle of the Sonia Empire arrived in a half-given state.
There was a loud welcome party.
There came the third and most powerful turning point in my life.
***
I actually don’t remember much before that.
I clearly remembered that I drank a lot of alcohol with Debbie, and that Ariel carried us to the guest room while we were completely drunk and making out.
Of course, I passed out in my room and fell into such a deep sleep that I couldn’t even tell if someone was carrying me.
“——!”
“——!”
“… ——!”
Until I heard someone yelling through the tightly closed door.
“Ugh… Who is fighting this early in the morning…”
I hadn’t fully woken up from the alcohol yet, so I got out of bed holding my throbbing head.
As soon as I opened the door, what I heard was Amy and Ariel’s shouting.
I cautiously perked up my pointed ears at the sound of a voice coming from two rooms away from the room I was in, that is, from the room where Thesia was staying.
As if guided, each time I took a step, the two people’s voices pierced my ears more and more clearly.
“I mean, I come first! Teshia said she liked me too!”
“You’re funny! Tessia would choose me over a brat like you!”
“Does a 100-year-old man really have any advantages over me, a person in my 20s? Is there one?”
“What? I really want to see this… !”
What was confirmed was the sight of two people growling over Teshia, as always.
Those two, even Debbie, had already realized that they had fallen in love with Tessia.
Only Thesia thinks we’re playing a prank and doesn’t think anything of it.
That familiar sight of people raising their voices doesn’t even have much of an impact anymore.
I’m not sure why they’re having such an argument in Thesia’s room.
“Both of you, stop!”
It was then.
Thesia’s voice intervened as if mediating between the two people.
The warrior and the wise man, who had been huffing and puffing with angry voices, quickly lowered their voices.
“Do you really have to raise your voice this loud on an auspicious day? “Can’t we talk calmly?”
“No, first Ariel…”
“Amy told me…” …”
“Sweet! Don’t blame others!”
“Yes…”
Thesia’s voice seemed a little trembling.
Nevertheless, it contained a strong tone, putting an end to the argument between the two in an instant.
I guess we were able to get this far thanks to Tessia, who coordinated our party in such a crude but appropriate way.
I think it was thanks to that we did not fall apart as we were fighting an invisible love fight.
That aspect is also Tesia’s charm.
With a happy smile, I overheard the three people’s conversation a little more.
“Amy, Ariel. This was all my fault. There is no need for you guys to fight among yourselves. “Understand, right?”
Sometimes Tessia blames everything on herself.
It may not be a good idea to try to take on the burden alone, but I could understand it well since it was all done for us.
“Even though I already had sex with Amy, I was indecisive and ended up like that with Ariel. So, this is all my responsibility.”
As soon as she heard the next word, she tilted her head.
Sex partner? What is a sex partner?
Even though I have lived in various countries for over 80 years, this is the first time I have heard this word.
Could it be an abbreviation for sex friend?
… Hmm, no matter what, I guess that’s not true.
Tessia, who always didn’t flinch from my confessions, couldn’t have done something like that behind her back ——
“That’s okay, so tell me, Teshia. Did you like Amy’s sex better, or did she have better sex with me?”
——Huh?
What did I just hear?
“I saw you getting fucked by Amy the other day too, right? But that’s just rape, isn’t it?”
The accident stopped.
She couldn’t believe her own ears as she heard words she would never hear in Thesia’s room.
“Rape… “I won.”
One passive word from Thesia turned my suspicions into a fait accompli.
“Right? But what about me? “I gave you choices and guided you gently, right?”
“… But you said you came here to rape me at first.”
“No. I was trying to make it feel like rape, but he actually raped me. And you ended up feeling good in the end, right?”
“No… Is this right?”
Tessia muttered in confusion at Ariel’s sly words.
Amy, who was fussing next to her, retorted something, but I couldn’t hear her properly.
“…”
She quietly turned her steps back.
I headed to the room I was staying in so as not to be caught by the three people making a fuss.
I couldn’t believe it.
You ignored and avoided my onslaught of affection, and then mixed up with two people in a place I didn’t know.
Besides.
If I interpret the meaning of the word ‘sex partner’ correctly.
Then, Tessia will continue to experience sex with those two people from time to time.
Again, in a place I don’t know.
In a place I can’t see.
Sticky and soggy.
I’m sure Amy and Ariel will fall into Thesia’s lewdness once again someday.
They will kiss and insert their fingers into the valleys located all over her body, or they will experience obscene pleasure by rubbing their private parts.
I couldn’t tolerate it.
How much I have been sincere to Thesia until now.
I completely ignore my feelings and allow myself to those two people.
I am angry.
It feels like all my efforts so far have been in vain.
I feel like my love is being denied by Teshia.
I’m so angry, I can’t stand it at all.
As always, I tried to accept this situation leisurely this time.
Leisurely, like an elder.
However, even with decades of experience, the feeling of love was impossible to control.
How can I maintain my composure, especially now that I know the secret of my first love?
There is nothing we can do about it.
Until now, I was relieved that it was only me and Debbie who were actively appealing, but I ended up noticing that Amy and Ariel were making faster progress than me.
This is the end of the appeal of pretending to be clean.
From now on, I have no choice but to bring out my true self and pour my heart out on Teshia.
“… “I wasn’t going to use this one.”
I muttered softly and took out a small piece of paper from my pocket.
The text, written with great magical energy, contained purification methods for all kinds of herbs and ingredients, as well as the ratios needed for combination.
After taking a quick look at the contents I hadn’t seen in a long time, I slammed the room door shut.
“First, we’ll need lavender flowers.”
***
A few days have passed since then.
In the midst of busy days, a request came to us from the imperial family.
The black dragon that the Demon King’s army was working with was running rampant, so he asked them to go and deal with it as soon as possible.
Excluding Amy and Ariel, who were already busy with other things, and Debbie, who had been absent for a long time, the only people left were naturally me and Teshia.
It was an opportunity.
There will never be another opportunity like this in the future.
Feeling that way, I immediately decided to put my plan into action.
***
The subjugation of the black dragon ended so quickly that it seemed futile.
It was a natural ending for the warrior party that defeated even the Demon King in an instant, and they came together with Tessia, who always kept a portion of their power hidden.
The subjugation mission may have ended quickly, but the travel time took so long that pitch black darkness had already fallen everywhere.
We decided that it would be difficult to move any further and decided to camp here.
It can’t be helped.
This is unavoidable.
——, Tessia believes.
But she won’t know.
The fact that I created this opportunity by delaying as much time as possible.
Thesia, with an innocent smile on her face, stirred the boiling soup.
“As I’m doing this, it feels like I’m still in the middle of a trip. Isn’t that right, Liliana?”
“Hehe, I see.”
I didn’t know it would turn out like this at the time.
I muttered those words to myself and took the ladle from Tessia.
“I thought it would be there forever.”
“Who? The devil? Ugh, don’t say such horrible things. “It makes me shiver just thinking about it.”
It’s terrible.
Yes, Thesia.
As you said, it’s terrible.
I never imagined that I would confess my affection to you in this way.
I took out a vial of medicine from my military uniform.
I opened the lid while suppressing the sound with the wind.
For a moment, Tessia turned her gaze to the floor.
Not missing that moment, I added a few drops of the concentrated purple liquid into the soup.
Tessia, who had been smelling her, lifted her head.
She quickly closed the medicine bottle and hid it back in her pocket.
“Where doesn’t it smell like flowers?”
In response to Tesia’s question, I also began to act slyly.
“It smells like lavender, this one.”
“Aha. As expected from being an elf, he is knowledgeable about flowers.”
“Hehe.”
In response to Tesia’s bright exclamation, I responded with a small laugh.
He put the boiling soup in her bowl and handed it to Thesia.
Thesia held her wooden bowl as if she had been waiting and blew on it to cool her soup.
And, finally.
“Horrorok… “Wow, it’s warm.”
The medicine I made went into Thesia’s stomach.
Her heart was pounding.
Her heartbeat became unusually loud, perhaps because she was aware that she was doing something naughty.
Her blushing face was hidden by the scarlet color of the bonfire.
As she was looking at Thesia with satisfaction, her eyes suddenly met.
“What are you doing, not eating? “I need to fill my stomach if I want to move tomorrow.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
I answered briefly and took a sip of the soup I had prepared.
As the very faint scent of lavender drifted past my throat, I began to imagine what would happen in the future.
I assure you.
Today will definitely be both the worst and the best day for me.
