## Chapter 195 – 195. 충정
#195. Devotion
I was momentarily speechless at the words spoken from behind the mask.
“…Did you even hear what I said?”
“Yes, I heard about the kiss with Princess Elisabeth.”
“And you’re offering to do it instead?”
Tina nodded nonchalantly.
Since I couldn’t see her face behind the mask, I had no idea what she was thinking.
“Of course, I don’t presume that someone like me could ever replace Her Highness.”
Her voice was calm as she continued the conversation, devoid of any emotion.
Along with the cold, assassin-like voice, her gloved hand reached for the mask.
Clatter-
“So, I will offer my body to balance the scales, even if just a little.”
Thud, the mask fell to the floor.
Tina’s face was revealed beyond the colorless mask, which didn’t even have a mouth drawn on it.
I was once again struck speechless.
Her shoulder-length, sandy beige hair and dark gray eyes were anything but ordinary.
‘She’s an assassin with that face?’
Even the unusually long side strands of her hair were attractive.
Although her chest was lacking, her firm lower body more than made up for it.
Her waist was slender, her hips were nicely curved, and I could tell that her buttocks and thighs were firm without even touching them.
“I am currently acting as Her Highness’s bodyguard, thanks to an undeserved favor, but I was originally an assassin.”
While I was inadvertently distracted by Tina’s figure, she continued to speak calmly.
“Although I have never been deployed in actual combat, I have diligently completed the necessary training and even graduated from the training center at the top of my class.”
“…Impressive?”
“Thank you.”
It wasn’t exactly a compliment.
It was just something I said because I felt like I had to say something.
Tina seemed to know this, as there wasn’t even a hint of emotion in her eyes as she looked at me.
Then, Tina suddenly closed the distance.
It was stealthy and swift, so much so that I couldn’t even hear her footsteps.
“The training course also included seduction techniques. I received such high marks from the instructors that they said no further training was necessary.”
I was wondering what she was getting at when—
Swoosh-
Tina knelt down.
“Although my body is humble, I vow to serve Hyun-woo with all my heart. So, please grant me the opportunity to relieve Her Highness of her burden.”
My mind went blank for a moment.
She was saying that she would replace the payment Elisabeth was supposed to give me with sex.
It wasn’t a conventional offer, but it was an attractive one.
Tina was attractive enough that I wouldn’t mind giving up Elisabeth’s first kiss.
Even though she was flat-chested, probably not even a C cup, she had a great lower body that more than made up for it.
But even so, I was hesitant to accept, as I was conscious of Elisabeth’s feelings.
“For the record, all training was conducted with teaching materials and taught by female instructors, so you don’t have to doubt my purity.”
“Should we get a room first?”
“Hey!”
Elisabeth, who had been watching from the side, shouted.
“What do you mean, ‘get a room first?’ Absolutely not!”
“…Not allowed?”
“Not allowed!”
At Elisabeth’s stern command, I had no choice but to back down with regret.
Her gaze was so fierce that I even forgot that I was the one in charge.
The faint murderous aura I felt was definitely not something a well-bred princess would have.
“Your Highness.”
Tina, who was still kneeling, called out to Elisabeth.
Despite the stern command from the person she served, her voice was calm and even.
“Your Highness is the most noble person under the heavens. It is true that the favor you received from Hyun-woo is great, but you do not have to bear everything alone.”
“What does that have to do with this!”
“It is because my reason for existence is to sacrifice myself in place of Your Highness in unexpected situations.”
Sacrifice, huh? It was a bit uncomfortable to hear as the person who was supposed to receive that sacrifice.
I quietly read the room before opening my mouth.
After all, a beautiful, stoic assassin’s virginity was better than a kiss.
“Well, Tina’s saying it like that too…”
“You be quiet.”
“…”
But all I got in return was a glare and a warning colder than the north wind in winter.
I shut my mouth, afraid that I might get kicked in the shin for no reason.
Elisabeth, who had taken her gaze away from me, quietly stared at Tina. Tina, as if it were natural, lowered her head and waited for the answer that would follow.
“…No. This is the reward I promised him, as well as a responsibility I must bear. No ruler should ever pass on their responsibilities to their subjects.”
“But Your Highness.”
“Enough. I will not accept any further objections.”
“…I apologize.”
At Elisabeth’s firm decision, Tina quietly stepped back.
I had no choice but to soothe my disappointment inside.
“Disrespectful.”
“Ah.”
While my eyes were fixed on Tina’s hips, Elisabeth, who had closed the distance, pinched my thigh.
I felt it when she hit my side too, but this woman is strangely strong, even without mana.
“How dare you reject me?”
“…I didn’t reject you.”
“You were eyeing Tina instead of me.”
I didn’t really have anything to say about that.
Of course, the words ‘I can’t help but lean towards the side with better conditions’ were swirling in my mouth, but I didn’t want to get beaten for saying unnecessary things.
“I think I know what you’re thinking… Or is it just my imagination?”
“It’s just your imagination.”
“Really?”
Something sparkled in Elisabeth’s hand.
It was a sharply honed throwing knife.
And it was a dagger with enchantments engraved on it.
“…I apologize.”
“You don’t look sorry at all.”
A small laugh and the scent of flowers brushed past my nose.
It was the scent that came from her pink hair.
“Bend over.”
“Yes?”
“You’re too tall!”
At Elisabeth’s urging, I bent over.
I was a little under 190 cm tall, while she was roughly 160 cm tall by sight.
‘If she takes off her shoes, she’ll probably be around 150 cm?’
It wasn’t that short. It was just a little shorter than average, but in some ways, it was a good height.
“Wouldn’t it be better to have a platform?”
“…Do you know? If you weren’t the benefactor who saved my life, you would have been captured and dragged to the royal castle a long time ago.”
“I apologize.”
Even though it was an addendum I added out of consideration, Elisabeth glared at me instead.
Wasn’t I being polite enough?
I guess you can never really know a woman’s heart.
“…Aren’t you bothered at all?”
“Yes?”
“You know who I am.”
“Yes, aren’t you Princess Elisabeth?”
“…”
Elisabeth’s gaze towards me was somehow strange.
It was like a scientist looking at an incomprehensible creature.
“…I don’t know whether to call this disrespectful or shameless.”
Elisabeth’s fingertips touched my face.
I could feel the soft and smooth texture of her skin.
Stretch-
“…?”
Elisabeth pulled on my cheek.
Of course, it didn’t stretch out as long as my women’s cheeks did.
My skin had gotten better since I awakened my mana, but that didn’t mean I was turning into a woman.
“You know you’re really weird, right?”
A smile spread across Elisabeth’s lips as she played with my face like clay.
And then her lips met mine.
I could feel the soft texture and warm temperature.
The fingertips on my face were trembling. I could tell how nervous she was right now.
I quietly reached out and wrapped my arms around Elisabeth’s waist.
Rather than the sensation of skin felt through the fabric, I was struck by how thin she was.
Naturally, the distance between us became so close that it was difficult to fit a fist between us.
Twitch.
Elisabeth trembled as soon as our chests touched.
It was hard to believe that she was the same woman who had nonchalantly touched my junk.
Her chest, pressed against my chest, was surprisingly large.
‘If it’s this much even with the clothes compressing it, wouldn’t her actual size be around an E cup?’
Anyway, now that I couldn’t receive the virginity of the stoic beauty assassin, I vowed to get as much as I could from her instead.
Lick.
“Gasp?!”
When I stuck out my tongue and licked her lips, Elisabeth squeezed her eyes shut and stiffened.
But that didn’t mean I stopped.
I continued to stimulate her lips with my tongue and stroke her back. I always felt this way, but her clothes were in the way.
I was going to take it slow, but I didn’t think I could stand the anticipation.
The moment I reached out to grab her butt.
Thud.
Tina, who had appeared out of nowhere, grabbed my wrist.
Even if I was distracted, I didn’t think I would have allowed her to close the distance so easily.
‘…I still have a long way to go.’
I swallowed a hollow laugh and looked at Tina.
She put her finger to her lips as if telling me to be quiet.
Fortunately, Elisabeth didn’t seem to have noticed her approaching.
If she had, she would have thrown a fit for interfering.
‘She’s okay with kissing, but not with excessive touching?’
It wasn’t hard to guess what Tina’s intentions were.
I reluctantly let go of my strength.
Well, I guess it was greedy to expect too much from the princess of a country.
Of course, I hadn’t given up. I was just compromising because there was a long way to go.
The moment I vowed to come back someday and take the virginity of both of them.
Ziiip-
I heard a familiar sound from somewhere.
It sounded like a zipper being pulled down.
When I focused my senses, I was soon able to discern two things.
The source of the sound was behind Tina, and she was taking off the clothes she was wearing.
I looked at Tina, who was pulling down the zipper.
‘Why is she suddenly taking off her clothes?’
But such a small worry was soon forgotten in my mind.
Because the sight that followed was even more shocking.
As the suit was unzipped and peeled off, Tina’s secret flesh was revealed.
Her skin was as white as if it had never been exposed to sunlight. Enough to stimulate a man’s lust.
Gulp.
I unknowingly swallowed hard and focused on her flesh, which was gradually revealing its beauty.
Even if she only had a B cup, it was only natural to wonder what the inside of a beauty like Tina looked like.
But what came to me next was a shock that felt like being hit in the back of the head.
‘…Bandages?’
Tina’s skin, which had taken off her suit as if she were used to it, was soaked with sweat.
That alone was already attractive enough, but what was even more surprising was the large breasts hidden behind the half-loosened bandages.
At first glance, they looked about a size larger than Elisabeth’s.
My head became confused.
Tina, who I thought was only a B cup at best, was actually a munchkin who had been hiding her strength.
Of course, my women, as well as the women around me, all had breasts that were no less than Tina’s, but breasts were always better the more you had.
‘Excuse me.’
Tina whispered softly, so that Elisabeth wouldn’t hear.
Then, without batting an eye, she grabbed my wrist and placed it on her chest.
I reflexively grabbed her breast.
The ecstatic sensation of her breast filled my palm, and only then did I realize her intention.
She was hoping that I would be satisfied with her and allow her to offer her body to a strange man she had just met, except for the kiss.
Tina and I made eye contact.
“Shh-“
Even though a strange man was touching her breasts, there wasn’t even a hint of disarray in her dark gray eyes.
