Chapter 337 – Academy Arc (110) – Archmage Scarlet (32)
338. Academy Arc (110) – Archmage Scarlet (32)
After embracing the maid, Beneta, Amar had called for her several more times.
Even though he came quickly every time they had sex, the maid seemed to be enjoying it, so he figured it was fine. It felt like he was healing the wounds of being rejected by Scarlet here. It also helped recharge his self-esteem as a man.
Then, one late night.
-Hic. Hooo…
‘What’s that?’
Amar was walking down the hallway when he heard a small sobbing sound. It wasn’t coming from the hallway, but from the wall. This was definitely… the servants’ waiting room.
There shouldn’t be anyone here at this hour?
Feeling something was off, Amar secretly cast a clairvoyance spell to check inside. There were two people, a man and a woman, and when he saw a familiar face, his eyes widened.
It was Beneta, the one he had been having sex with.
She was talking to the man in front of her, and the sobbing and the atmosphere were unusual. Amar used a sound amplification spell and listened closely to their conversation.
“…So, you did it with the Lord?”
“U-huh. I’m s-sorry. I couldn’t refuse. He suddenly came at me… I was scared of what he might do if I didn’t listen. Hicc…”
‘Oh…’
Amar swallowed hard.
Even just listening for a moment, it was easy to tell that the two were in a relationship.
As he continued to listen, he felt complicated. It seemed the two were secretly dating, avoiding people’s eyes. They must have met and started dating when Scarlet sent servants to the capital where she worked every few months. He knew from Beneta herself that she had worked at Scarlet’s mansion for about three months before returning when Scarlet reduced the number of servants.
It felt like he had needlessly interfered. He usually had a kind image, but this was an awkward situation…
As they continued to talk, the topic of conversation became more explicit. The servant still looked angry, but as if something had occurred to him, he casually asked her.
“So… how was it?”
“What…?”
“I mean, the Count… Was he better than me?”
“T-that’s… well. Yeah…”
“I’m not going to go around telling people this. Just tell me honestly, I’ll keep it to myself.”
Amar’s heart pounded at the sudden topic. Beneta was flustered by the sensitive question, but when the man persistently asked, she eventually answered honestly.
“U-huh, no, it wasn’t good at all. H-his thing was small… and his, his technique? It wasn’t good either.”
‘Wh-what did she say?’
“But actually… now that I think about it, I’m not so much angry or sad… I’m just a little confused. He was always so kind. He’s not usually like that…”
The servant’s face crumpled at those words.
“You’re saying that even after what happened?”
“B-but he’s always been so nice usually…”
“Huh. But not sexually? If it wasn’t good, you wouldn’t have felt anything, right?”
“D-don’t misunderstand. I didn’t mean it like that. It’s just really strange. And it was so hard pretending to feel something… But thankfully, the Count came quickly, so it didn’t take long.”
“Hmm, is that so?”
“Yeah…”
Amar was utterly shocked.
Beneta’s soft and gentle tone made his heart ache even more. It hurt. He thought she was enjoying it too. He couldn’t even satisfy a single maid… Moreover, wasn’t he in a position where he had forced himself on her using his power?
Yet, she was still being considerate of him until the end…
What was this empty feeling?
When the servant snorted and said he would take care of it, Beneta was startled and stopped him. She said that next time, she would gather the courage to refuse. From that moment on, Amar didn’t have the courage to call her again. Anyone would feel the same.
“Haa… I can’t believe the Lord is like that!”
“Brom, I’ve been thinking about something for a while now…”
“What are you thinking about?”
“Well… I think the Lord doesn’t really know his own kinks yet?”
“Kinks?”
Not knowing his kinks?
‘What is she talking about?’
Amar listened again.
She said that the fact that he couldn’t stand up to his wife, and that he was usually so passive… maybe he had a bit of a masochistic tendency. Even when he called for her, he couldn’t lead at all, and the way he had sex seemed desperate, as if he was trying to deny his inner self… She felt that with a woman’s intuition.
Amar dismissed most of it as nonsense, but he still listened.
Could that… be… possible?
“It’s okay. Let’s not talk about this anymore… I don’t care what the Count did to you.”
“B-Brom…♥”
“I’ll make you feel with your skin who the right man… no, the right stud is for you. Right now. …Chomp.”
“U-huh… Mwah. N-now? Mwah. Slurp…♥”
The atmosphere quickly changed, and Beneta and the servant called Brom started kissing passionately before engaging in heated sex. Beneta leaned her upper body against a low table, creating a doggy-style position, and Brom put one foot on a chair and started pounding into her with a beast-like posture.
“Aah. Aaaah♥”
Amar watched the scene silently, even though it was painful.
Beneta’s expression looked incredibly pleased.
The man’s thing was much bigger than his. He was also taller and quite muscular.
“Huff huff!! How is it? The Count can’t reach this far, right? Does it feel good?”
“U-huh Brom…♥ Haaah!! Brom’s big thing is poking and poking where the Count can’t reach…♥ It feels so good♥”
“Hoo. Hoo… It’s better to keep the noise down. Bite on your skirt or something.”
Amar’s self-esteem as a man was plummeting as he was being compared in real-time during sex. The thought of getting rid of that Brom tomorrow immediately crossed his mind…
But his lower body was acting in the opposite way.
‘Damn it, what is this…!!’
“Uum. Uuum…♥”
Beneta, biting on her skirt to keep her moans from escaping, as she was being pounded from behind like an animal.
Thwack thwack thwack thwack thwack♥
‘She always leaked so much… Crap…!!’
The woman had a blissful expression, unlike when she was with him, and as he watched her… unbelievably, Amar’s thing was the biggest it had ever been in his life.
-Maybe he doesn’t really know his own kinks yet?
‘Th-that’s nonsense…!’
Maybe it was because he heard that strange talk earlier. His mind was in a mess.
But the fact that he was incredibly turned on was true.
Amar swallowed hard. He scanned the area with magic to make sure no one was around, then, as if he had made up his mind, he lowered his pants and slowly started stroking his thing.
Honestly, putting aside his feelings, he was turned on…
“Huff. Tell me more… Whose pussy is this that I’m pounding right now? Huh?”
“Aaaah♥ It’s so different from the Count… My pussy belongs to Brom, who’s pounding me so powerfully…♥”
“Huff. Huff…”
Beneta, who had spat out her skirt during sex, made comments comparing the two. Every time Amar heard it, his thing throbbed as if it would burst, but he tried to ignore it.
And he started focusing on the act.
After that day, Amar never touched a maid again.
.
.
.
.
A few days later, at the Allton family’s main estate.
“…So, when I called the maid and questioned her, she eventually turned pale and confessed. She said she had slept with the Count several times.”
“I see…”
“Shall I bring her to you, Countess?”
“No, it’s alright. If you said so, there’s no need to reconfirm.”
It didn’t take long for her to realize that her husband was cheating. Everyone at the main estate was her people, so there were many eyes watching Amar.
It was a coincidence that Amar’s affair was discovered. A middle-aged butler happened to see Beneta entering Amar’s private space and reported it to one of Scarlet’s loyal retainers. He interrogated Beneta and found out about the Lord’s affair, and then reported it to her.
“Then, I’ll take my leave.”
He saw Scarlet’s serious expression and quietly left without disturbing her.
Scarlet, left alone, fell silent.
In aristocratic society, having mistresses wasn’t unusual. There might be trouble, but they weren’t in a political marriage, but a relationship that had developed from dating, so it was a bit different. It was strange for him to even think about cheating when his wife was an archmage. The retainers knew this well, so they didn’t keep it quiet and reported it to her right away.
Amar’s affair.
He hadn’t shown any particular performance, and he wasn’t reliable… For such a man to cheat on her in front of her eyes. It was like a burning fuse.
“Hmm.”
But Scarlet wasn’t particularly angry.
She wasn’t the hysterical woman she used to be. Now, both her body and mind were soft… And honestly, she could admit that her own fault was a significant factor. Even if her mind was a flower garden, she was objective enough to see that. She had been incredibly cold for the past few months. Whenever he wanted to sleep with her, she would make excuses…
Well, it was too late to suddenly feel sorry now.
‘Hehe, it’s actually a good thing.’
Knowing about her husband’s affair actually made her feel relieved and refreshed. She couldn’t say that she didn’t feel any guilt, so it was a good thing. Now, even the lingering discomfort in her heart seemed to melt away.
So, what should she do about this?
Maybe the best option right now was to just leave it alone?
If Amar was going to touch that maid… or anyone else, if he could satisfy his desires, they would naturally have less reason to be upset with each other, so it didn’t seem like there would be any problems.
Scarlet called the retainer back and quietly ordered him to bury the matter, pretending she didn’t know. She added that this was just a temporary incident. He was surprised by Scarlet’s order. And at the same time, he was impressed by her magnanimity.
Even though she knew they had been in a relationship for a long time… wasn’t she angry?
Judging by her personality, he thought she would immediately glare sharply and go find Amar and wave her wand. But as expected, the real pillar of the family was different. She wasn’t swayed by personal feelings, and she even seemed to understand her husband’s feelings to some extent, showing a magnanimous side. Well, the Lord must have been frustrated too.
But looking at it this way, he felt sorry for Scarlet. So many political meetings and so much work… She was sacrificing so much because of those things, and she was losing her own happiness.
What deep and profound thoughts were behind that sharp face?
He secretly sighed as he watched Scarlet, who was sitting with her legs crossed, looking at the documents with a composed expression.
‘Ugh, my pussy is already itching♥ I want to fill my uterus with Raul’s semen soon…♥ Ah, just thinking about the sensation makes my clitoris erect…♥’
Scarlet scanned the documents with a blank expression.
