1.
Still, the first experience tends to stick with you for life.
Even Blanche, who doesn’t seem like the type, might dislike sex that’s just a means to an end.
That’s why she might have taken time off work, as if on a honeymoon, and put so much effort into choosing the accommodation.
Siwoo thought.
Why else would there be examples like Diana and his great aunt?
Count Yesod didn’t want his daughter to have sex solely for the sake of a variant succession, so he confined Siwoo and Diana to a villa.
Deneb also made sure to give his great aunt and Siwoo some private time together.
So, Siwoo was planning to reciprocate in his own way.
That is, even if they couldn’t become real lovers, he was planning to have a cute, couple-like date time… but.
-Splash splash
“Phew… phew…”
Siwoo was diving, greeting the beautiful tropical fish.
The coral reefs, untouched by human hands, were so beautiful that he lost track of time while snorkeling.
The problem was that Siwoo was the only one doing it.
Then, where was Ms. Blanche?
“Ms. Blanche, are you really not coming in?”
“I’m fine.”
“It’s cool, fun, and beautiful.”
“Seeing the Chairman enjoying himself is my greatest joy.”
Why did she have so many bags for just a few days’ trip? Blanche had even brought work to the resort.
She had set up a table on the terrace and was doing paperwork while watching Siwoo splash around alone.
It was like a female CEO bringing her child to the kiddie pool.
If it were someone else, he might have used magic to splash some water…
‘Water cannon attack on someone who can’t read the mood! Haha!’
‘Don’t do that! I’ll get revenge too!’
‘Hahaha! Hahaha!’
‘Giggle! Giggle!’
Something like that might have happened…
“……”
But it was impossible with Blanche.
He couldn’t explain it exactly, but she just didn’t seem like she would go along with it.
Conscientious, Siwoo tried to help Blanche, but he was met with the strongest resistance he had ever seen.
Helpless, he had been circling around, playing in the water.
He thought that at least showing her that he was having fun would make Blanche happy.
But then, who was this vacation really for?
Siwoo seriously pondered.
There were no more coral reefs left to explore.
The sunset, famous for its beauty, was setting the blue horizon ablaze.
“Chairman, it’s about time you came in. It’s dinner time.”
“Okay, I’m hungry.”
Blanche, having checked the time, waited for Siwoo with a large towel.
After roughly washing off the seawater in the outdoor shower and changing his clothes, he headed straight to the dinner venue.
A beach with a breathtakingly beautiful sunset.
A course meal freshly prepared by a top chef.
A romantic atmosphere that would make even a jaded couple gaze at each other with honey-dripping eyes and go make a baby.
He was sure that even Amelia, back when she was an assistant professor, would have held his hand if they had come to a place like this.
“Hehe, the lobster is really delicious.”
“Yes.”
“Have you been to places like this often?”
“No.”
“I’m grateful for the relaxing time, but… aren’t you not enjoying yourself too much, Ms. Blanche?”
“I’m fine.”
But the other person was Blanche.
Looking back, it seemed like there had always been this much distance between them…
Although she had been in the position of his ‘closest aide’ for about a year after the war, there hadn’t been much other interaction.
This was a serious matter.
After dinner, the only thing left to do was obvious, and going to the bedroom in this awkward standoff could lead to a troublesome farce.
In the worst case…
‘Should I take out my penis?’
‘Yes.’
‘Should I insert it?’
‘No.’
‘Should I stop if you’re uncomfortable?’
‘I’m fine.’
Something like this ridiculous situation might happen.
Siwoo, who had already experienced it several times (with Deneb, Linne, Albireo, and Diana), could vividly imagine it.
Siwoo, who felt like his days as a virgin were a distant memory, lightly attempted to change the mood.
“Hmm, Ms. Blanche. Come to think of it, you wear glasses when you’re working.”
“Yes.”
“You don’t really need them as a spirit, do you?”
“It’s a habit, I suppose…”
Just when he thought, ‘Oh, we’re actually talking!’, it happened.
“Keter gave them to me as a gift, saying they were a rare treasure. Even though witches don’t get bad eyesight, he told me to wear them when doing paperwork, saying that it would make my blank expression look a little more intellectual.”
“Ah.”
He had stepped on an anti-tank mine.
Keter had died at Blanche’s hands.
Later, he had heard that it was more like assisted suicide than murder, but Blanche’s love-hate relationship with Keter, whom she had followed more than anyone else, was undoubtedly true.
Blanche, who had been talking, saw Siwoo’s face turn pale and smiled faintly.
He was a little surprised.
It was the first time he had seen her smile.
“It’s okay. It’s a problem that’s already been resolved.”
“I feel like I stirred up something I shouldn’t have.”
“Living for so long, hundreds of these knots form along the threads of life. What’s important to me now is…”
Blanche’s silver-white eyes looked at Siwoo as if piercing through him.
“You.”
Feeling a little embarrassed, Siwoo rummaged through his pockets.
“I can’t help it after hearing you say that.”
Usually, in this kind of atmosphere and at this timing, what would come out of his inner pocket would be a ring box, but what Siwoo took out was an eyeglass case.
“It’s a gift. I’ve always just said thank you, so I brought this.”
“……”
Blanche looked surprised, her eyes wide as she opened the case.
It was a pair of non-prescription glasses made of titanium with platinum plating, cubic zirconia set like real jewels on the temples, and round frames with wide lenses.
It was a very sophisticated design, far from the kind that was called ‘shitty glasses’.
“The cubic zirconia on the side is the highlight. Would you like to try them on?”
Blanche, who had been talking smoothly just a moment ago, hesitated, then carefully put on the glasses.
She glanced at her reflection in the glass, then tilted her head slightly and asked with an embarrassed gesture (though this was not certain),
“Do they… suit me?”
“My judgment was accurate.”
The glasses suited the already intelligent beauty Blanche very well.

The meal ended well in a cozy atmosphere.
Blanche wore the glasses throughout the meal, as if she really, really liked the gift.
Up to that point, he was very happy, but…
-Swoosh
“Hmm.”
When it was time to wait for Blanche, who was showering in her gown, he felt a mix of emotions.
The swan-shaped bath towels folded into a heart and the rose petals scattered on the bed added to his unease.
Whether it was when he was Amelia, when Siwoo was kidnapped to Hexennacht, or during the war.
They were now on good terms as chairman and chief secretary, but when he thought about it, their relationship had been nothing but bad.
They had built a friendly relationship recently by spending time together, but they weren’t at the point of having sex, were they?
Even in his worries, time passed.
A moment later, Blanche, wrapped in a white gown, opened the door and came in.
“Huh? What’s that?”
She was holding a large suitcase.
Surely she wasn’t planning to do work even during their time together?
-Click
Inside the bag, which was large enough to fit a person, was another hard case.
Blanche knelt down obediently and presented it as if offering a tribute.
Inside the hard case, which opened like a clam, on top of the red velvet lining, were various adult toys.
“It is my duty to assist the Chairman. I have made thorough preparations to serve you with my inadequate body.”
“……”
Siwoo was speechless at the sight of all sorts of adult toys neatly arranged in the bag, wondering, ‘Where did she get all this?’
He realized that the combination of the words ‘adult toys’ and ‘neat’ was quite absurd.
Moreover, these were not ordinary items.
There were common items like dildos, vibrators, and massagers, but there were also gags, mouth openers, training clips for pinching sensitive areas, enema kits, anal beads, whips, candles, and restraints.
There was even a special catheter made for insertion into the urethra.
“…Have you used all of these?”
“I have never used them, but I am familiar with the purpose of each item. If there is anything you would like to use, please feel free to use it on me.”
He wondered if Blanche was a manifestation of perverted sexual desire beyond Count Yesod, but he concluded that it was not the case.
Because when she showed him these items and told him to use them on her at any time, he felt nothing but thorough loyalty and obedience, not lust or desire.
“First… put away that scary-looking stuff.”
“Yes.”
She put them away without any hesitation, as if Siwoo was reluctant.
“Is that whole bag full of that kind of stuff?”
“No. I have brought separate outfits that the Chairman might like.”
The outfits that came out of the suitcase were also things that made him wonder, ‘Where did she get these?’
From basic full-body stockings to maid outfits, bunny girl outfits, micro bikinis, and other sexy clothes that Siwoo and his lovers had worn at least once, they came out one after another.
“…Put those away too.”
“Yes.”
He might have been tempted if she had shown embarrassment or a lustful expression while suggesting them, but Blanche’s expressionless and dry presentation of all sorts of maniacal tastes was bewildering.
“Then, although I am inadequate, I will do my best to serve you for the Chairman’s pleasure.”
After putting away the luggage, Blanche bowed politely and slowly untied the belt of her gown.
