Chapter 47 – Iris Arcadia (2)
Soft, moist woman’s lips.
Iris’ eyes trembled. She grabbed the hand that was trying to push me away and grabbed her by the clasped.
“Sigh… !”
It was a look of dismay. Eyes wide open. As if in disbelief, the pupils trembled.
I bit my lips lightly. Instead of going further, he only tasted her lips.
As soon as it ended with a kiss that lasted as short as 30 seconds or as long as it was long, Iris opened her eyes.
“This, this, what is this… !”
Side.
“Sigh.”
Before Iris quickly protested, she smacked her lips once more.
“What are you doing…”
Side.
“That, stop…”
Side.
“Ah, I understand—”
Side.
“I won’t be angry… !”
Only then did I stop the kiss bomb.
“This… !”
I stared at Iris, who licked her lips with her fresh red face, and she covered her mouth with her hand, startled.
“Didn’t you say you weren’t angry?”
“… Uh, uh, that’s far-fetched. To be honest.”
“Are you going to deny what you once said?”
“… Shameless!”
Won
It was Iris pounding on her chest as if she was outraged.
Seeing her breasts, which are not very large, but have a nice shape, sway in her hands…
“Where to look!”
“This.”
The longing for me that I could see in Iris’s eyes seemed to disappear.
What.
“Are you feeling better, Your Highness?”
“…”
At her words, she shut her mouth, perhaps noticing that I had read her thoughts.
Even if you look into my eyes for a while.
“… Could it be that you stole my first kiss for that reason?”
“No way.”
I wouldn’t say very much. It was not desirable to leave her alone and fester with an inferiority complex inside her.
… Was I this good at reading other people’s minds?
Even when such a question popped into my head, I decided to appease Iris first.
“Sorry.”
“Late. I mean, it was my first kiss.”
“His Highness.”
For some reason, Iris’s tone of voice was a little more, what to say, it felt like it was subtly softer.
I don’t think you’re talking about a thief who stole your first kiss.
I was silent for a while. Make Iris wait for my words.
When properly teased her.
“Would you like it to be a momentary mistake?”
“… Yes?”
“Or do you want me to be formally responsible?”
“Yeah…”
Iris was speechless.
It was a confused look. That would be the case, because there had never been such a subtle atmosphere between her and me.
The girl who always gave me her admiration and favor, and me who pretended not to know it. That was all.
It would be better if it was Anna, who seems to be conscious of me as a member of the opposite sex to some extent.
‘If it wasn’t for the trials, I wouldn’t have bothered.’
If I, too, had a mind to attack Iris, I wouldn’t have rushed into it like this.
She didn’t want to lay her hands on her, so the relationship between her and me has remained pure until now.
That is to say.
It was like I now had a reason to do something about her.
‘The balance of fate…’
The past few days, as Iris and I went around purifying the forest, when she came to the fore and rested me in the rear.
I searched for the 「Trial of the Balance」 That newly appeared on my status window.
I didn’t know exactly what the scale’s ordeal was, but the concept of “Scale” Itself seemed familiar to the elderly elders of the Great Forest.
A law of existence that exists only for those who have brought great changes to the continent, regardless of heroes and villains since long ago.
For each “Scale”, There is another target of “Scale” Located on the opposite side.
The object, according to the name of “Libra”, Has the same weight as the owner of “Libra”.
In other words. It is like a balancing pendulum.
The law states that if there is an existence that causes a large wave on the continent, there is someone who suppresses it with the same weight as it.
‘I had three scales.’
The fact that I have a lot of scales means that I also have three scale weights.
Among them, the “Blood balance” Must be her sister.
There’s no exact proof, but it’s probably for sure. Sooner or later, he intended to go back to his parents’ house and learn a Libra contract or something and conclude it with his sister.
“The balance of the soul” Is…
To be honest, it’s just speculation so far, but maybe… I think it might be the older sister from a previous life.
He must be possessed by Luna Taylor.
Likewise, I plan to visit soon.
“Majesty.”
“Yes…”
Iris, unable to choose an answer and at a loss for what to do, carefully answered my call.
Last scale.
“The Balance of Destiny”.
She, chosen by her goddess as the devil king’s nemesis, and me, her nemesis chosen by the demon king himself.
Where else can you find an opponent that matches you so well?
My sister would do it without hesitation if I asked for a contract of balance or a contract of slavery.
My older sister, who may be possessed by Luna Taylor… Probably will
But what about Iris?
We don’t know exactly what Libra’s contract is. Even the elders of the Great Forest couldn’t say more than vague information they remembered vaguely.
But. Even though I only heard the contents of that blurry information.
Hmm.
“Why, why did you call me and not say anything?”
I took Iris’ hand.
“Kyaa.”
“I know that the relationship between Cepes and the imperial family is not very good.”
“Oh, no. That kind of thing…”
“But Your Highness.”
Having said this, I was silent for a while.
Klopp.
Iris swallowed her saliva. Her blushing face was cute and pretty.
Even though I felt that my taste was bitter for no reason, I continued my words.
“It’s not a sin to like you, is it?”
“Hick.”
Tighten.
Damn it
It is a mortal sin to play with the heart of such a beautiful woman when she has no heart.
But.
Had to live
There were so many things that would happen when I died. As sister went on a runaway, Chepeshu would fall sooner or later, and the great forest here, which had been organized at best, would fall into chaos again.
No.
After all, I just hated seeing my sister, Daisy and Cristina sad.
In my opinion, even my older sister.
The women I had in mind were more important to me than peace on the continent.
…
Is this really true?
“Gong Chepesh… ?”
Iris called me cautiously.
Pure voice.
I closed my mouth. Even though I knew I had to answer, I couldn’t get my words out.
I am.
I am…
“Iris.”
“Hey.”
Her body trembled in shock at the sudden name being called.
“Go, go, suddenly name…”
“Sorry.”
“… Yes?”
… I know it shouldn’t be like this.
She knows that winning her heart by whispering her love to her is a much more efficient and quicker way.
But.
How long have you been agonizing over whether you were playing with your sister’s heart? How long have you been able to win her heart thanks to Christina, can you make the same mistake again?
For my sister, for Cristina. For daisy.
Maybe they will understand me.
But what about me? Can I understand myself?
No.
So that.
“I will be honest with you.”
I’d rather be honest with her and ask for her cooperation.
I wanted to be honest.
*
The explanation to Iris was over.
After learning all of her circumstances, she was immersed in her thoughts with her eyes gently closed.
To be honest.
She did not think that she would be forgiven easily.
Except for me being forgiven… Regarding her curse, there was an expectation that she would help.
“… Prince Chepes.”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
“… To be honest. I think I can be angry. Yes?”
“That’s right.”
When I calmly agreed, Iris let out a deep sigh.
“I understand the situation. … To be lost to the demon lord’s curse, Prince Chepesch is too precious of a talent.”
Furthermore.
Iris paused for a moment. Her throat seemed to be dry. She took the water bottle that was provided in the room and gulped down.
“Different… Woman… I understood that I revealed the fact that I lied even before it was too late, so as not to embarrass others.”
Again, she nodded.
“… You said that in order to cast a curse, you have to sign a Libra contract, right?”
I hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
“That way…”
Iris, who had kept her mouth shut as if she was speechless, narrowed her eyes as she sulked and glared at me.
“What if I am not the other person?”
“I’m sure to tell you, but…”
“So, otherwise!”
“… Maybe. Won’t you die?”
As I calmly put my death in her mouth, Iris shut her mouth again.
As if grumbling with a dumbfounded expression,
“Who says so calmly that he will die…”
Of course, if it wasn’t me, the princess, I would find someone opposite me who would be the weight of the [Destiny’s Scales].
I honestly had no confidence. If she’s not the princess, then who is she?
At least I’m the devil’s nemesis, so I think of the devil who thinks of me as his nemesis.
There was no way the demon king would make a contract with me anyway, so even in that case, I had no choice but to die.
However, it was a bit like saying these things incessantly, so I just waited for Iris to make a brave decision.
“… Really. Really. Shameless man.”
“Sorry.”
“… That’s Okay.”
After.
Iris let out a sigh.
“Make sure you take responsibility.”
“If you are responsible.”
“First kiss. You stole it. Didn’t you say you were in charge?”
Ah.
“How many days were left?”
“It was 90 days.”
“It’s not that we don’t have free time, so let’s take some time to get to know each other.”
“… Is that so?”
“Are you going to keep pretending that you don’t notice?”
Hmm.
Therefore.
We don’t know each other well yet. Do you want to slowly find out if you will be a good match as a lover?
“So you’re asking me to date you on the premise of marriage.”
“Shameless!”
I felt the tension release for nothing, and smiled.
“Excuse me.”
“… So. How many women do you not want to be ashamed of?”
“There are three of us.”
“Three…”
“Ah. Maybe four.”
“Hey.”
Iris.
So, the woman who had just become my bride-to-be and lover suddenly approached me.
Her tight torso, her hair, the smell of her flesh, and the giddy figure of a woman stopped before her eyes.
Wherever she went, her graceful and orphaned figure had a rich expression befitting a girl of her age.
“… Dating on the premise of marriage, he said first.”
“Yes, but…”
“Then. Of course I should be number one.”
Her soft fingers gripped my collar.
It wasn’t the tone or behavior that a well-grown princess would do, so I couldn’t react.
Side.
“Brother.”
Under.
You had such a personality
