Chapter 1311 – ##14_Sicilian Defense(4)
##60
1.
After the sample collection was finished.
Siwoo washed up with Countess Lucy and caught his breath.
“Hmm, should I give you some of Siwoo’s too?”
Her face flushed, she wrapped a fluffy gown around her voluptuous naked body and sipped champagne.
I’m always amazed at times like this.
It’s said that a woman’s transformation is innocent, but the difference in Yesod’s appearance before and after sex is startling.
Just a little while ago, she was wearing her daughter’s tight ballet outfit, which didn’t properly cover anything, and whining.
Even the image of her sucking on Siwoo’s thing while showering was completely gone, replaced by the dignified countess herself.
Looking at her profile as she smiled and savored the champagne, I wondered, ‘Is it okay to keep doing this?’
Even though it’s a legal affair, it seems like the countess’s demands are getting higher every day, and I think that if it were before marriage, it would be fine, but after marriage, she should be a little more restrained. But then, when I think of my own karma for having so much fun, I can’t bring myself to tell her that.
Not long ago, I had a serious mating session with my great mother-in-law, and now I think, ‘What’s a little affair SM sex with a married woman?’ Anyway, my head is a bit complicated.
Men are such sad creatures.
“Countess, are you feeling alright?”
“Siwoo, you’re really hopeless. How can you not know how to treat a woman with respect?”
Lucy pouted with a sulky look.
This was a kind of act for the aftermath of the sample collection.
It could be called a kind of skit or banter between the two of them.
In terms of sexual preferences classified in BDSM, Countess Yesod, who belongs to degradation, gets excited by being forced to endure insults or shameful acts during sex, but she’s not so reckless as to bring that into her daily life.
So, if she grumbles to Siwoo, ‘Ugh! It was hard to keep up with you!’, Siwoo would say, ‘Oh, I’m sorry,’ and share the burden of cleaning up the previous mess.
“Anyway, today’s sample collection was fruitful. Good job, Siwoo.”
“You too, Countess. Ah, when shall we meet again next time?”
“A week from now would be good. My schedule is free then. Are you leaving right away?”
“I have some things left to take care of.”
“Hehe, I was keeping a busy duke.”
After a light greeting and farewell.
Lucy took off her bathrobe, put on a dress, and enjoyed the languor that came after a satisfying sexual encounter.
“Really… don’t bite my breasts.”
Lucy felt embarrassed for no reason, looking at her breasts, which were like honeycombs with his large bite marks.
Even though she said that, her sex life quality these days was satisfying itself.
How long had she been living alone?
How many erotic novels had she written to soothe her innate passion?
Shin Siwoo was the perfect ideal type, incomparable to the male protagonists of the erotic novels she had written.
He was virile, kind, and dependable, with a slightly innocent charm, but on the bed, he transformed into a ruthless tyrant and made her blush.
He even appeared with the provocative tag of ‘married man,’ so only Lucy knew how happy she was.
“Okay, back to work.”
Her body, which had been stiff, was now refreshed.
As she headed back to her office, Lucy ran into her precious Diana.
Normally, she would have run up to her, hugged her tightly, and said, ‘My daaaughter! You said you were going to study, but you’re not today? Shall we play with the position board, Mom?’ But now, she couldn’t help but hesitate.
Even if Diana knew about her relationship with Shin Siwoo, it wouldn’t be a problem, but the memory of her wearing Diana’s ballet outfit and acting coquettishly flashed through her mind.
Also, Diana had been acting strangely grumpy on the days when Shin Siwoo came.
Lucy prided herself on being a good mother, but her sulky daughter was scary.
So, she just,
“My dear? Why did you change your clothes?”
And trailed off.
“Oh, just because. For a change of pace.”
But Diana’s reaction, which she thought would be cold, was subtle.
Diana couldn’t even make eye contact and was twisting her hair awkwardly.
But soon, she seemed to regain her composure and her eyes lit up.
“Mom. I’ve been thinking about this for a long time. This is wrong.”
“Huh? What do you mean, my dear?”
“Don’t you have any pride?!”
Then she burst out in anger.
When people with poor communication skills explode with words that have been piling up without any warning, it’s called a sudden outburst in professional terms.
Diana was having a sudden outburst right now.
“I know everything! That you like Shin Siwoo! That you dress up every day when that man comes, and that you try to cater to his tastes!”
“Diana? W-why are you suddenly like this?”
“It’s not sudden, I’ve been watching from the side and I’m sighing! That man hasn’t even mentioned marrying you! You’re just wagging your tail like a well-behaved puppy!”
“Diana!”
Even though Lucy was a doting mother, she didn’t raise Diana to be rude.
Even if she ended up chewing on a handkerchief and wiping away tears later, she raised her so that she wouldn’t be called a bad child anywhere.
“Diana, I’ve been very lenient with you. If you don’t stop when I tell you to…”
Diana, who knew how much her mother loved her, usually backed down when she raised her voice, but…
Not today.
“What are you going to do! It’s not wagging your tail? At least that’s how it looks to me! Why did you even go to the wedding? I would have been too embarrassed to go!”
“Diana! You come to the punishment room right now!”
“Okay! I’ll get spanked! But I have to say what I need to say! Mom, you’re so, so pitiful and pathetic. The way you’re being played by that bad Shin Siwoo and smiling like an idiot is really… really pitiful!”
“……”
Lucy, who was about to get angry, swallowed her words.
Because Diana was crying with tears welling up in her eyes.
“…If Mom can’t say it, I will. I have to make sure our mom is taken care of properly.”
Also, it was clear that her daughter’s anger was solely because she felt sorry for her mother.
Diana wiped away her tears and ran out.
Lucy’s eyes widened at Diana’s first run she had ever seen.
“Diana…! Don’t run! What if you get hurt!”
Ignoring the concern coming from behind, Diana ran and ran.
2.
In fact, Lucy Yesod didn’t really think about marriage.
Wasn’t their relationship well-defined?
Lucy was already satisfied with her relationship with Siwoo.
“Sigh…”
She didn’t have to live alone like before, and now that she was going to do the irregular succession, she could be with Diana forever.
On the other hand, she also had this thought.
In the past, Diana had shown a slight liking for Siwoo.
Lucy, as her mother, knew it very well.
Diana wouldn’t admit it because she wasn’t honest with herself either.
As a witch who had lived for hundreds of years, everyone knew that you never know what might happen in life.
What if Diana developed feelings for Siwoo, but Lucy was already his wife?
Wouldn’t the game be over before Diana could even try anything?
It was a bit of a sorry thing to say to Deneb, but Lucy valued lineage.
“But even if I told her like this, she wouldn’t understand…”
Just as Lucy cherished Diana, Diana also cared a lot about her mother.
If she knew that Lucy was thinking this way, she would definitely grumble, ‘I’m fine, so take care of Mom.’
This wasn’t just speculation.
Even before the irregular succession was established, hadn’t she asked Siwoo for such a favor?
She had asked him to tempt her mother to postpone the succession.
“Relationships between men and women are really…”
Moreover, the relationship between Shin Siwoo and her was beyond complicated, almost like a legendary maze.
Lucy couldn’t find a solution and could only sigh deeply.
3.
Diana, who had a fight with her mother, couldn’t calm her anger.
She headed straight to the Hesed Academy President’s office.
She was planning to confront him for daring to toy with her mother and not taking responsibility, and to say whatever she needed to say.
-Thump, thump, thump
If it were the usual Diana, she would have known that it wasn’t reasonable for a novice witch from the count’s family to go to the de facto leader of Gehenna, the Grand Duke, to make a fuss, but not now, when her emotions were running high.
No.
Actually, she was a little scared.
The tutor who had once tried to curry favor with Diana to get on her mother’s good side had now risen to the position of the Ten Thousand Witches’ Supreme.
If he were a wicked person, he could have toyed with the two mothers and daughters using the irregular succession as bait, and they wouldn’t have been able to make it public, let alone complain about it.
Diana, who was starting to tremble, stubbornly held onto her legs and burst open the door to the Hesed Academy President’s office.
“Shin Siwoo! You!”
And then she froze.
It was because she had encountered someone she had never expected to meet in the president’s office.
It was none other than the former Duke Erelim, wearing rimless glasses and a dry expression.
It was a famous anecdote in Gehenna that she was Siwoo’s exclusive secretary, but Diana, a homebody, didn’t know that.
In the meantime, Blanche Erelim’s cold eyes, which were wrapped in charisma like a dragon, were saying, ‘How dare you come here?’
“What’s the matter?”
Erelim, realizing that the other party was a novice witch, belatedly tried to show a gentle side, but Diana was already frozen solid.
Diana was a bit of a reckless and unruly young lady, but Erelim was scary.
Not only was the atmosphere like that, but she had been the de facto power of Gehenna since she was very young, even when her mother’s mother was young.
The image that one had from childhood doesn’t change easily.
“Miss Diana?”
The moment Shin Siwoo, who had been bewildered, called her by a familiar title.
Diana, who had barely regained her senses, squeezed out her last bit of courage.
“Let’s have a position board match.”
“Suddenly?”
“The loser has to grant the winner any request.”
She couldn’t back down here.
She already knew that this was crazy.
She had to take advantage of the momentum and say everything she needed to say.
“You’re saying there’s no reason to accept? I’ll make one. You can’t do without the irregular succession, right? My mom is helping you with it.”
“That’s right.”
“If you don’t accept the match, I’ll tell my mom to stop researching the irregular succession.”
“Huh? Suddenly?”
Diana was also a beneficiary of the irregular succession, but he must be quite desperate for it as well.
Because his wives, Odile and Odette, were still novice witches.
“You’ll accept, right? The match.”
So he would definitely accept it.
The reason why Diana suddenly became obsessed with the position board… well, that’s how it happened.
