CH 68
The day after meeting the Empress.
As Reyna enjoyed a peaceful day of rest as a major guest of the delegation, guided by the maids of the palace, she lay back in warm water, reflecting on her yesterday.
‘It’s strange.’
Every time she saw Yuris, her heart raced, something that had been happening for a long time.
The longing for the strongest and most noble knight.
A person who had greatly contributed to protecting the Elf Forest and defeating the Demon King, someone who had never backed down and had fought against the demon tribe.
Among the only two who had shouted victory while everyone else sensed defeat, the most noble one.
That was Yuris.
Reyna harbored a longing for Yuris.
The power she possessed, her unwavering mindset, and her beautiful appearance.
Thus, the original purpose of this delegation was to bring Yuris into the Elf society through their bond.
‘I had fully expected that the Empress wouldn’t give Yuris to me.’
So, she thought of extending the time they could spend together, even if it meant shortening the overall duration, and during that time, she planned to make Yuris her own.
She believed that if it was the charm of the elves, if it was her own power, it would be more than possible.
She thought Yuris would understand.
But she gave up on taking Yuris with her.
– I will propose different conditions.
– I would like to stay in the Empire for a while. While I’m in the Empire, I hope to receive support to enjoy the best escort and facilities the Empire has to offer.
Even now, it seemed like nonsense.
She had clearly come to the world of inferior races to see Yuris, yet she was giving that up.
The reason for giving up was simple.
‘Every time Yuris is next to me, I think of that time…’
It was because of what had happened in the illusionary theater.
The illusion that man had shown her.
Yuris had appeared there.
The alluring smile and beautiful naked body of the fake Yuris in the illusion kept surfacing in her mind.
That’s why, throughout the time she spent with Yuris in the palace yesterday, it was difficult for her to even approach her.
“Ahhh!”
She didn’t know how startled she was when their hands accidentally touched.
Because the image of Yuris, who had excited her while massaging her own body, felt so vivid.
Reyna thought it would be necessary to keep some distance from Yuris.
That was the reason she didn’t request Yuris from the Empress.
The scene shown by the illusionary Yuris was too dangerous.
Because Reyna, an elf, was so overwhelmed by lust.
She thought that if she stayed close to Yuris, she didn’t know what might happen, so she gave up on being with her.
‘If I stay away for a few days, it should be fine.’
And they could meet again.
Thinking that, she received the best service she could get in the Empire for a day.
However, no matter how lavishly decorated the food was, and despite the perfect service from the inferior race maids, there was still a sense of emptiness somewhere.
– You came to feel good, right? Both you and I.
The words of the illusionary Yuris, who had gently caressed her body, came to mind.
– Ohhh! Hngh! I’m going! Hah!
The moans of the real Yuris beyond the curtain resurfaced.
And then.
– Master, I’m taking off my clothes!!
The image of the illusionary Yuris being violated by Max also came to mind.
As her thoughts reached that point, her face flushed.
Bubbling.
She plunged her face into the water to shake off her distracting thoughts, but it only made her imagination clearer.
“Yuris…”
Her hands moved downward.
Just like the illusionary Yuris had done, she played with her nipples and brought her hand to her lower body.
A thrilling sensation made her waist bounce.
“Haah.”
A moan escaped her lips, uncharacteristic of an elf.
“Ah, no.”
Though she was saying no with her mouth, her fingers ventured deeper, seeking more.
Self-indulgence, intoxicated by lust, something most high elves would never do.
Just like the illusionary version of herself had done, she carefully inserted her fingers into her tightly closed folds and began to probe.
“I shouldn’t be doing this…”
It felt good.
She began to feel increasingly light-headed.
Splash, splash.
Every time her hand moved, the water in the bathtub splashed and rippled.
Reyna’s face reflected in the water twisted with the waves.
She saw her own figure submerged in the water.
With her legs spread open, her hand inserted in a lewd manner, fondling her breasts.
It was a vulgar posture that didn’t resemble a high elf at all.
“C-calm down.”
She couldn’t let herself be swept away by the illusion again.
She stood up from her spot.
To be intoxicated by the illusionary Yuris while trying to keep distance from the real Yuris.
‘That was a wrong choice.’
Rather, because of that deficiency, her lust surged even more.
“Should I leave now?”
There was nothing good about staying like this.
She thought that if she soaked in the warm water while already feeling hot, she might really end up cooling off.
Hastily finishing her bath, Reyna brushed off the maids who had dried her body.
“Well, if I’m going anyway…”
It would be better to wear something pretty, right?
Reyna put on the most beautiful outfit she thought among the clothes she had brought.
A flowing white lingerie.
Thanks to the transparent wire made from the rainbow spider silk that elves used as fabric, it created the illusion that she wasn’t wearing any underwear at all.
With so little coverage, her chest was deeply exposed, revealing not only her cleavage but also a hint of her side profile, making it a competitive piece of lingerie for elves.
With matching panties of the same design, Reyna donned a dress.
Though they said they wouldn’t indulge in lust, that didn’t mean they wouldn’t appeal to sexual attraction at all.
Holding hands and subtly tempting each other was something elves also did.
It was a necessary preparatory process for mental communion.
Just like when she had been given a bubble bath by the illusionary Yuris.
“Let’s go.”
It was now evening, with the sun slowly setting, but she hoped Yuris wouldn’t be asleep yet.
Since Yuris would be off work and it would be her time to rest, Reyna headed towards Yuris’s room.
However.
“This place is not only for the commander but also for the knights’ quarters. Outsiders are prohibited from entering.”
“What?”
The knights blocked her.
“Do you know who I am? How dare inferior races…”
“I know. However, there are places that even a diplomatic delegation cannot enter. It’s a military facility, so please do not enter recklessly.”
“Y-you!”
Reyna thought about using her strength.
But she was currently in the position of a guest.
There was no reason to fight with the knights now that she was being treated as a guest.
“Phew, I understand.”
Reyna decided to back down.
She felt regretful about not being able to meet Yuris.
‘Maybe I should have appealed a bit more back then.’
Biting her lip, Reyna returned to her room.
But.
– You came to feel good, right? Both you and I.
Yuris’s voice lingered in her mind.
“I can’t do this.”
She shifted her steps to another place.
***
The secret visitor was Reyna.
“Is it a good time now?”
Her beautiful white dress sparkled as if adorned with stars.
Had she just come from some precious place?
Wearing an elegant dress, Reyna looked at me with a slightly flushed face.
“It’s fine, but what’s the matter?”
“It’s nothing…”
Reyna, glancing around, took a step closer and entered the shop.
Naturally, I stepped back, causing the door to close behind her.
Thud.
“Is the theater open today?”
What did she just say?
What did Reyna just say?
“It’s possible since there are no customers… Are you trying to introduce someone?”
She shook her head.
“N-no, it’s not that…”
A brief stammer.
It was clear what she was thinking as she fidgeted with her fingers without being able to look at me properly.
“Could it be that you want to receive service as a customer yourself?”
“Ugh…”
It seemed I had hit the nail on the head, as Reyna flinched.
“W-why not?”
“Didn’t you say that elves do not succumb to lust? I think that was two days ago.”
That was said by the high elf, who was considered the most noble among elves.
“Wouldn’t other elves be disappointed if they found out?”
She momentarily closed her mouth.
Was she trying to find some excuse, or was she lost in thought?
After a brief moment of contemplation, she opened her mouth.
“I-I already lost the bet regarding lust…”
The excuse she finally came up with was that it was okay because she lost the bet.
“Pfft!”
The hastily made excuse was so pathetic that it made me laugh.
“What’s so funny!”
“I laughed because it was a poor excuse for an elf.”
“S-so, are you not going to accept me as a customer?”
Of course not.
I shook my head and pointed to the inside.
“Please come in, guest. I will serve you with the best illusion.”
I will create and show you the illusion you desire.
Since you came as a guest, I must make it unforgettable according to your tastes.
That way, wouldn’t you come back again next time?
What would an elf like?
‘You don’t want Yuris again, do you?’
