### Chapter 69 Extra (?) How to Steal a Woman (18)

"…."

"…."

After spending a burning night with the princess... no, with Lena, when I came to my senses, the room was already dotted with the morning dew.

It was a place that clearly fell short of the guest room I usually stayed in.

But I didn't feel bad at all, even in this chilly cold.

Just the fact that two people were hugging in this narrow bed made this place more than worthwhile.

However, Lena, who was hugging me, didn't look at me properly; she just buried her face in my chest.

'Hmm... Did I hurt her feelings by being too harsh?'

[No, I don't think so. Lena de Feron currently knows nothing about your plan. I think that's the bigger issue.]

'Ah...'

It would be awkward to explain the plan now...

Lena is a pitiful woman, but I also wanted to enjoy this moment for a while.

After all, I probably wouldn't see this kind of reaction for more than two days.

Through Viola, Sonia, and Luna, I realized that each of them had their own charm.

And Lena, despite her outward toughness, had a childlike atmosphere after the act.

It wasn't a lustful feeling, but rather a pure embrace that made her seem like a child at that moment.

But there was something that broke this cozy atmosphere.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

"Princess!!"

The sound of a child's voice shouting and banging on the door made me feel Lena's body tense up against mine.

"...I'm sorry."

Lena, who had done nothing wrong, apologized to me with a firm voice.

I smiled and said to her, "You're always sorry."

"..."

Even in response to my sarcastic remark, Lena just smiled bitterly and continued to hug me.

But the annoying alarm didn't stop.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

"Princess!!"

I didn't want to move, and there was no need to, but the alarm didn't care about our situation.

"Ah... If you stay here, I'll take care of it..."

"No, it won't do either of us any good to see this scene."

"..."

Given the position of the bed, if Lena opened the door, the child might see me.

I got up and hid behind the wardrobe.

Lena, looking at me with a gloomy expression, put on her one-piece pajamas, buttoned them up, and walked to the door.

Bang! Bang! Click.

"Ah! P, Princess! A, are you... okay?"

"..."

I couldn't see the situation from behind the wardrobe, but I could feel the child's powerful voice suddenly become subdued.

Lena's angry voice came from the other side of the wardrobe.

"What's the matter so early in the morning?"

"Princess... I was worried..."

She must be really angry.

Even though I couldn't see Lena's face, I could feel the killing intent radiating from her.

She was the woman who had piled up the bodies of demons on the battlefield.

In terms of pure killing intent, even the high-ranking demons here would be overwhelmed by her.

"Princess! Is there... someone inside?"

"Don't come in."

"..."

The child seemed to have entered the room for a moment to check something, but Lena stopped her.

"It's time to start work. Did you come to return my key?"

"That... the key... is..."

I still had the key.

She always left it behind, but today, without the key, she had rushed to Lena's room in a panic.

Lena said something meaningful.

"Did you lose it?"

"No, no! It's not that!"

"It's fine."

"..."

The child didn't understand Lena's words at all.

"You don't need to worry about the key. Work is starting now. Go back."

"Princess..."

Thud.

Lena closed the door without listening to the child's words.

After closing the door, Lena came to me and asked carefully.

"Would it be impolite if I changed my clothes?"

"I'll leave."

"That's not what I mean..."

"...?"

"I feel embarrassed showing my body to you..."

Lena seemed to think she wasn't attractive as a woman.

'Wow, if she's this good, she's not deceiving other women, is she?'

[Given the development here, Lena de Feron is unlikely to be loved by men.]

The humans here, whom I've only seen in Krel Village and the Demon King's Castle, were such that Lena would be considered one of the tallest.

...Except for the ogres.

If Lena had been born in Korea, men would have treated her like a queen all their lives.

I approached Lena and grabbed her large chest.

"Ugh..."

"Your body is mine. Don't judge it yourself."

"I'm sorry."

Lena was blushing and smiling.

"Still, it would be impolite to watch you change. I'll go back to the guest room first."

"...Yes, I understand. I'll bring breakfast right away."

"Okay, just in case, bring three servings."

"Yes, I understand."

Lena smiled and saw me off.

As I walked back to the guest room, I felt my body weakening.

'Wow... I'm drained. Lena's stamina is incredible.'

Actually, I could have done more if she asked.

If I could do it with a woman like Lena, I could do it more than ten times.

I wondered if I had really done anything.

She was such a fragile woman from the start.

I just provided a place for her to lean on.

Armonia told me something.

While feeling flattered by Armonia's praise, I left the dormitory and heard women's voices.

"I couldn't sleep at all..."

"The men really went after Lena."

When I heard about Lena, I couldn't just pass by, so I secretly listened in.

It seemed the sounds of our lovemaking had spread throughout the building.

And the women probably thought the men had planned to eavesdrop.

'Now that I think about it, didn't the child in the next room not wake up?'

Now that I think about it, he must be a real pervert...

The women's conversation continued.

"Did you hear? She sounded like a complete prostitute..."

"Who knew she'd be so easy... But it does fit a woman who's been on the battlefield."

"Ugh... She said she went to fight, but was she really there for that? It's disgusting..."

'Crazy bitches...'

[It's best to ignore them.]

Hearing those women's words, my mood felt like it was sinking into a swamp.

The women's conversation naturally shifted to the male nobles.

"Well, if they act like that, we wouldn't even look at them, right?"

"They think we're at their level to play with."

"Right, right. Since we came here, all the men look like they're from the dirt."

"Maybe they're getting a taste from Lena and now they're after us?"

"Damn... I'm worried."

It was a really funny conversation.

They might have lived well as nobles before coming here, but they were all the same.

The female nobles still had some of their noble air, but they were becoming more like common laborers.

To me, the men and women were starting to fit together well.

Hearing their conversation, I started to look forward to tonight.

'Hehe... Thanks to them, I'm looking forward to tonight.'

Still, thinking about starting work with Beatrice tonight made me feel refreshed again.

As I walked, ignoring the women's gossip, I heard men's voices from the warehouse.

They were the guys who had conspired to rape Lena last time.

"Hey! Who's there?"

"Not me! You?"

"Not me either! Hmm... Maybe one of the visitors?"

The "visitor" they were talking about was probably me.

"Damn, thanks to you, I couldn't sleep and I'm about to die..."

"Looks like she fell for a guy. Bad timing."

"Hey, since it's like this, do you want to try it today?"

"Think about it... We'll do it today, idiot..."

"Damn... Or, maybe someone else?"

"Hey, don't be so hasty."

"Can you not be hasty? I've been here for months and I'm dying."

Hearing their words, I wondered how these guys had ever lived as nobles.

Nobles might not lack sexual desire, but their actions were too low to understand.

'No, the good guys probably went to the battlefield and died.'

[Most of the nobles who participated in the war, except for special cases like Lena, probably died.]

Whether the war left only the trash or if the trash just happened to survive, I couldn't tell.

But they were still trash.

I ignored them and headed to the guest room.

When I arrived, Viola was already up and getting dressed.

"Huh? Viola, going out again?"

"Yes! I'll be back soon~"

Viola quickly changed and rushed out.

Seeing her, I felt a bit uneasy.

"Now that she's doing this, it's a bit disappointing, isn't it?"

I was secretly disappointed that a woman who used to only look at me had found other interests.

But after hearing Armonia's explanation, I understood.

It wasn't easy to take Beatrice, who belonged to the Demon King and was a high-ranking officer, casually.

If I had to be honest, the only thing I regretted was not being able to do it with Beatrice.

'Sexual desire control and sexual technique immunity are really tough. Sigh... She's so cute.'

[...Lord, if you really want to, you could add more conditions after completing the plan later.]

'No.'

I said firmly.

Beatrice was doing various annoying favors for me in exchange for clothes that carried my scent.

I didn't want to break her trust just because I wanted to sleep with her.

If I had personally disliked Beatrice, I would have gone for her without hesitation.

But...

'I like that girl. Once I like someone, I don't betray them unless they betray me first.'

[But as a succubus, a sexual request is...]

'...I don't like that either.'

It wasn't because she was like a child, but I didn't want to do it without any affection.

Even if I wanted to pursue her, time was running out.

With sexual technique immunity and sexual desire control, there was no solution in sight.

'Sex is good, but I'm not into that kind of thing. If I come back to play another time, I'll really go for it seriously.'

[If there's progress, you can enjoy a break again.]

'Yay~'

While I was cheering, Lena brought a cart with breakfast to the guest room.

Lena seemed to be looking for Viola.

"Oh, she went out to play again."

"Yes, I understand."

Her expression definitely changed.

Lena, who had been tense all along, now greeted me with a calm smile and a twinkle in her eye.

I stopped her as she was about to move the food from the cart to the table and asked,

"Lena."

"...Yes."

Just hearing her name made her smile brightly, like in a dream.

"Will there be a big problem in the Demon King's Castle if the humans here leave their posts for a while?"

"No, there won't be. Most of our work is cleaning, laundry, and other miscellaneous tasks. Even if we're absent, there are enough replacements to cover without any disruption."

They were people who didn't matter whether they were there or not.

I asked Lena,

"How many women are there here exactly?"

"Seven, including me."

"Good, then bring all the women here."

"...All the women...?"

Lena's face darkened, and she looked anxious.

She probably thought I was going to do it with another woman.

But I didn't need to clear up the misunderstanding.

"Bring them all. If I leave for a while, make sure they stay here. We'll eat after you bring them."

"...Yes, I understand."

Lena answered with a gloomy expression and left the guest room.

"Hehe, so cute. I'll go look for Viola and Beatrice first."

[...? Why are you calling the women?]

"Ah~ Nothing much. To make tonight's plan go smoothly."

[...?]

Armonia didn't understand my meaning but didn't ask further.

I left the guest room to find Viola and Beatrice.
