Chapter 340 – Academy Arc (113) – Archmage Scarlet & Charlotte (35)
341. Academy Arc (113) – Archmage Scarlet & Charlotte (35)
After that, Charlotte decided to test Raoul first.
She asked about the magic academic exchange, but like the others, Raoul didn’t know anything. She subtly interrogated him with a blunt voice.
“I don’t think I’ve heard anything. Is something new happening in the capital?”
“Well, think about it. Isn’t there a good place? …Like Bellingham, for example.”
“That… I don’t know.”
He still spoke as if he didn’t know anything, but there was a blank space before Raoul spoke.
Charlotte’s eyes became even more suspicious.
She considered using the magic that made him confess his inner thoughts like last time… but that was a magic that was morally discouraged in academia, and she felt uncomfortable using such magic again. (In the first place, Raoul’s confession of his inner thoughts last time was just acting, as he wasn’t affected by the magic)
Still, just the fact that Raoul had shown such an obviously awkward demeanor just now solidified her suspicion into near certainty.
Her anxiety grew more and more.
‘…Is it really… an affair…? Between Mother and Raoul?’
At this point, she thought she needed to dig into it properly.
Even if she put a location tracking spell on Raoul, there was a high chance that Scarlet would find out first. Raoul’s magic skills had also improved considerably, so he might find out before that.
So, witnessing the scene was important…
Charlotte pondered what to do.
Hiding in front of an archmage was almost impossible.
Then.
“………Then when she’s not there.”
.
.
.
A while later, Charlotte, having learned that Scarlet had a formal schedule with another noble family, announced to those around her that she would be taking a personal vacation on that day. She was only taking one female attendant with her, so people were worried, but she told them not to worry as she wouldn’t be going far.
However, after saying that, she changed direction and headed to the outskirts of the capital. She arrived at a small village in Bellingham and checked into the best inn there.
‘Was this her original taste? Well, the air is clear, but still.’
The attendant was curious about why they had come to such a remote place, but didn’t bother to ask. The natural scenery was certainly beautiful, and she thought that perhaps Miss Charlotte, who never had a day without seeing people, wanted to relieve her stuffy feelings like this.
“Then I’ll go get some fresh air. You trust my magic skills, right? I might be a little late, but don’t worry and wait at the inn.”
“Understood, Miss.”
Charlotte, slightly lifting her body off the ground with magic, moved quickly.
She then spotted a building that appeared to be the villa her mother had purchased. She was able to find it faster than she thought, thanks to the approximate location information written on the documents.
The villa, with its luxurious interior, was situated on a gentle slope.
‘…That must have cost a lot of money. Now, where.’
There were no signs of anyone around. Charlotte entered the villa and began to look around. Just like the exterior, the interior was also spacious and luxurious, and it even had a large indoor swimming pool.
In a huge warehouse with a cold magic circle, there was a plethora of the finest wines, tropical fruits that could only be obtained from the Tavat Kingdom in the west, and various light desserts.
As Charlotte searched around, she found something strange in the living room.
‘This is…?’
There were marks on the huge window in the living room, and the shape was familiar.
Charlotte used appraisal magic to make the traces on the window more vivid.
Then, it was revealed that there were handprints on the window. …And between them, there were marks as if two large circular objects had been pressed down, and Charlotte, who had transformed into a true woman, could quickly tell what those marks were.
They were probably marks where breasts had been pressed down. The reason the shape was unclear was because they had moved so violently.
Charlotte quietly whispered to herself, ‘It’s okay since no one’s here…,’ and then put her palm on the window and tried to take the same pose. She tried a doggy-style position with her butt sticking out seductively, but she didn’t think that would leave such marks. The position of the breasts was also wrong.
Then, she looked to her immediate side and noticed another mark.
So, that must be the leg…
She stuck to the window and lifted her leg to match the position of the mark, and now she seemed to understand. The standing woman must have lifted one leg and pressed it against the window. So, the man must have been stuck to the woman’s back, put his hands behind her knees to spread her legs. And then, like a beast, he would have been thrusting into her vagina and copulating…
‘Huh. W-what am I doing right now…!’
Charlotte, who had been stuck to the window and taking a pose as if she was being copulated, suddenly came to her senses and pulled away. Even though no one was there, her face flushed.
In any case, it was clearly a trace made by sex.
Feeling uneasy, Charlotte used even more mana to use appraisal magic on the entire living room.
Then, an astonishing sight was revealed.
‘…A group orgy!?’
She looked around in shock. The traces, shimmering with a faint blue mana, were spread all over the place.
Walls, sofas, round tables, railings, stairs, dining tables, windows, carpets, and even the floor under the carpets.
There were traces of sex everywhere.
It seemed that at least twenty people had enjoyed an orgy in one place. Charlotte, her lips trembling at the shocking sight, went to another room and used the same magic. Each time, the entire room was filled with blue marks. There were even some in the warehouse she had entered earlier.
Forty…
Seventy…
………………Over a hundred…
‘What on earth is this…’
But as she regained her senses and investigated again, it was different from what she had thought.
‘………No. They’re all the same size.’
The traces of sexual activity were overlapping and blurry, but… the size of the hand and footprints were generally uniform. These were all from two people.
All these traces were surprisingly from two people…
‘Then it’s even more suspicious…’
Although these circumstances had come to light, it was still unclear whether the other person was Raoul. Also, thinking about it, the woman might not be her mother either. The breast marks were very large, but… there might be other women with such large breasts besides the women in their family. (Of course, she had hardly ever met such women in her life)
Could it be that they were providing a service of renting out the villa to nobles? For entertainment… no, they weren’t a bourgeois family, so they didn’t need such entertainment.
She couldn’t make a definite decision, but then she saw something strange. At this moment, Charlotte let out a foolish voice from her cherry-like lips.
“What… is this?”
Charlotte made a strange expression as she looked at something.
She had entered a large room, and there was a cup on the table. The contents were… all white. Logically, one would think it was milk, but as she got closer, a strong smell wafted out, which was far from milk.
This was semen.
Why was there semen… filling a cup?
A cup filled with semen, it was a very dirty sight, but for some reason, Charlotte didn’t feel any repulsion. She approached the table, picked up the cup, and examined it in various ways.
Then, she looked at the floor and saw something ring-shaped sinking there.
Charlotte swallowed hard and pulled it out with magic.
Something with a lot of semen residue dripping from it.
After cleaning it diligently with cleaning magic…
“M-my goodness.”
Charlotte’s eyes trembled in shock.
If she wasn’t mistaken… this was definitely the wedding ring her father had given her mother. This alone was shocking, but Charlotte couldn’t help but confirm it because she felt the familiar viscosity and smell of the semen.
Hesitating whether to do it or not… with a ‘no way’ premonition, she lightly touched the sticky semen with her tongue.
“Bleh…”
…It was a familiar taste.
A sweet and addictive taste.
Normally, male semen is bitter, but it seemed that there were very unusual cases like Raoul, Charlotte had thought before. So, there was absolutely no possibility that this was someone else’s semen.
Mmm… slurp. It was definitely Raoul’s. She licked it again, and it was a familiar taste.
Having finished assessing the situation, Charlotte collapsed on the spot.
“…Were… were the two of them really sleeping together? And doing such ridiculous perverted things… Ah. Father…!!”
To put the wedding ring of a loved one in a cup of someone else’s semen. How perverted and depraved would one have to be to come up with such an idea?
Charlotte was extremely disappointed in both of them.
Sadness and anger.
Her mother, who had always shown a dignified appearance, distinguishing between public and private matters. That mother had kept her away from Raoul, saying she was worried about her, but behind her back, she was doing such things.
Her sense of betrayal towards Raoul was no less, but… it wasn’t as much as what she felt towards Scarlet. Even in this situation, the rose-tinted glasses she had on didn’t seem to come off easily.
Charlotte had started her relationship with lust in the first place. She didn’t realize it, but she still wanted Raoul as a female instinct, not rationally.
She decided to find the cause of her warm feelings for Raoul in her mother.
Her mother was more at fault.
The fact that she was betraying her father and having an affair was quite shocking… She felt that her mother was more hateful.
Yes, it couldn’t have been an affair from the beginning.
Charlotte knew that Raoul was very interested in learning magic. At first, Raoul had diligently improved their magic skills together with Charlotte, purely studying. If you think about it, her relationship with him had started when she had first touched his chest or played lewd pranks.
So, for her mother to take him to the Royal Magic Library or teach him directly from time to time would have been a temptation that Raoul would have found hard to refuse.
…Then what’s next?
Did her mother subtly seduce him with her body and draw Raoul in?
Like she had done?
‘Raoul’s sex drive is ridiculously strong. And Mother… honestly, she’s incomparably more beautiful than me, so if such a mother seduced him, Raoul wouldn’t have been able to resist.’
Raoul’s pants would bulge and become stiff just from her pressing her breasts against him.
Since they shared the same blood, she felt that her mother might have done the same.
So, what should she do now?
Would it be a good choice to resolve it through conversation?
If she asked Raoul, he would probably deny it like he did when she questioned him before… (She couldn’t say the crazy thing that she found out about the affair through the taste of semen to prove it)
Confronting her mother alone was also not a good idea. Her mother, having been caught in her wrongdoings, might use mind-manipulating magic to erase her memories.
If she lost her memories like that and was just taken advantage of like a fool again…
She really didn’t want that.
As a result of her deliberation, Charlotte decided to raid the scene. That seemed like the most certain way.
She would think about what to do after that when the time came.
“…Father. I’m, I’m sorry.”
Jububub…
Since she couldn’t leave any evidence that someone had been there, she decided to put her father’s wedding ring back in the cup. Amar’s wedding ring sank into the sea of Raoul’s semen.
Charlotte ended her trip a day later and returned to the mansion.
Of course, she had strictly instructed her attendant to keep the fact that they had come here a secret.
