The Marquis’ Eldest Son’s Lascivious Story

I sat on the sofa and spread my arms.

Koharii noticed me and quickly fixed her messy clothes.

[Come, Koharii.]

[Yes.]

I wrapped my arms around Koharii, who was holding her chest with both hands. We were both still wearing clothes so I couldn't feel our skin touching, but I co uld feel her softness.

After thoroughly enjoying her completely in my arms, I pushed her down a little and made her sit next to me.

[Sorry for the sudden request. I couldn't resist.]

I came to the Bermakan mansion today to check on Koharii, but the moment I saw her face, my lower body went into full power. I couldn't help but push her do wn there...or rather, I cornered her against the wall and started a sexual harassment festival. After caressing her body to my heart's content, I lifted up her skir t and plunged into her from behind.

Koharii was wearing her normal clothes that day. She moaned while leaning her hands against the wall and saying [No]. It was very good. Sex that suddenly e ntered my daily life felt special.

I apologized lightly and stroked her hair, and she hid her expression by pressing her head against my chest. She wasn't angry or sad, she was just genuinely e mbarrassed.

[Hehehe, you're cute.]

Her straight hair was smooth to the touch and felt good on my fingertips.

With my free hand, I stroked her lower abdomen. I felt an indescribable satisfaction when I thought that there were two loads of my sperm stored inside her. She must have used up her energy since she had been standing the whole time accepting my hip thrusts. So I wanted to relax and enjoy some cuddling time.

[There you go, my Koharii.]

[Aa...^]

While enjoying hugs, kisses, and light petting, I whispered my love to Koharii.

She may have been lonely, but she let out a sweet, melting sigh and pressed her body against me. I could feel her desire to be with me more, to be pampered, and to feel loved.

[By the way, have you had a chance to talk with your family?]

When I asked about her recent situation, Koharii's embrace grew stronger. She seemed happy that I had asked about her.

Ramon and Dezaule are Koharii's brother and father. The real reason I came to the Bermakan mansion today was to talk about their current situation. It seems I ike sex is the main focus, though.

Well, I'm sure the Bermakan family has heard some of the story. But, I can make her feel like I can rely on them by telling her the story. This is like a necessary expense to continue enjoying the cute and pampered Koharii.

[I heard it from onii-sama. Thank you for forgiving my father (otou-sama) .]

Her expression was as bright as a blooming flower as she expressed her gratitude.

After the recent guesthouse meeting, Dezaule visited the Bermakan mansion with Ramon. It seemed that their main purpose was to greet the Knight Bermaka n, but Koharii was very happy to see the three of them can be together again. She was more excited than usual when talking about their reunion.

[He has already paid for his sins, after all. I didn't do anything.]

[But, I'm still happy.]

Koharii was so cute, so I leaned in closer to her, enjoying the warm, fluffy mood.

When someone gets attached to you like this, you'd normally want to stay longer, but Dezaule left the Bermakan mansion quickly after a minimal conversation. He said,

[It's inappropriate for a commoner like me to hang out in a knight's mansion]

That's certainly true, but I think his true feelings were elsewhere. It's clear from Dezaule's subsequent actions that he wanted to start working on his construct! on company rather than deal with Koharii. Koharii seems to have guessed this somewhat, but she doesn't say it aloud.

[Dezaule seems to be doing well in Nambonan City.]

One could even say he's doing too well.

Dezaule said he had personal connections with Viscount Galliana when he visited the Galliana territory, but I never thought he would actually borrow engineer soldiers. Even though the target was a retired veteran, it was an extremely unusual decision in the common sense of noble society. When the letter arrived rep orting the successful negotiations and requesting permission to accept them, all of our officials were stunned.

[Is onii-sama here too?]

Ramon is most likely very busy with his work. I hate to say it myself, but I've asked for too much. The sunflower fields, the guest house, the meat company, th e construction company, the stock exchange...

[Apparently both of them didn't have much free time due to the many tasks entrusted to them, but they seem to be doing well.]

The words "death from overwork" cross my mind, but I've heard that they're using the people around them well to keep the project going. Dezaule has taken o ver most of the tasks surrounding the guesthouse and construction company, leaving the sunflower fields and meat company to a team of promising subordin ates and is concentrating on management.

Ramon is working hard to establish a stock exchange. In the name of ensuring fairness in transactions, it is planned to become a fully public organization. Ther e are a mountain of tasks and it's a very hard job, but the person in question seems to be working with a sparkle in his eyes and a sense of excitement.

In addition to death from overwork, the words "exploitation of motivation” crossed my mind.

[That's a relief.]

The fact that those two are doing well means that they're busy. They probably can't just come to Newnelly City casually.

Koharii, who understood this, looked a little disappointed, although she was pleased with the words.

[I think I will be leaving for Othelloria some time soon.]

Then, Koharii came over to me without a word. I guess she felt that she'd be lonely staying behind in Newnelly without me.

She's cute and I feel like taking her with me, but visiting Othelloria is still dangerous. It would be foolish to take my concubine to a city that could easily fall into enemy territory.

I could take her to Nambonan, but she's slowly getting better at separating herself from her brother, so I want to keep her at the Bermakan Mansion. I'll use the se opportunities to make her aware of her role as my concubine.

[When will you be departing to Othelloria...?]

[Depends on the situation, but maybe next month.]

It's already December, so it might be better to say next year rather than next month. I will be in Newnelly, my grandfather will be in Reisleaf Castle, and my fath er will be in Othelloria.

I'm not sure if my father, the Head of the Quordenze family, should spend the New Year in Othelloria, but it would be a waste of time for him to take over all th e tasks I'm currently undertaking.

The transfer of the territory has been going smoothly so far. Considering the size of the Nijo territory, it's a pretty tight schedule, but they said that a provision al territory management system will be in place by the end of the year.

So, I will probably be going to Othelloria in early or mid-January next year.

[I'll be here until the end of the year. Don't look so lonely.]

I hugged Koharii, who had become small and shriveled.

While we were at it, we decided to start the third round on the sofa. I'll only be able to enjoy her body until the end of the year, so I'd better make the most of it while I can.

After my rendezvous at the Bermakan Mansion, I returned to Newnelly Castle without making any detours. Or rather, the Bermakan Mansion was the detour I made after meeting Romilie.

When I returned to my room, as expected, the civil officer handed me several letters. There were reports from people related to the Quordenze, and also troub lesome diplomatic letters from other families. I still process each one as they arrive, but no matter how many I deal with, there's no end to it, so it’s getting tirin g.

[...Is this from Father?]

I immediately sat down in a chair and checked the contents.

Letters from my father should be treated as a top priority. This is because they often contain important information I need to know and things I need to be awa re of.

As is the case with many other letters, this one was of that type. It was filled with the current situation regarding Othelloria City, the progress of the territorial c ession, the outlook for future noble diplomacy, and various decisions.

[....anything about Levios?]

To clear my head, I called out to the civil officer waiting in the room.

[I've heard about the matter of accepting an envoy from the Levios family.]

It's been a little over three months since Operation Snake's Jaw. The Levios family had been quietly gathering information, but it seems they've finally made a move this time.

The Levios family told my father that they wanted to celebrate the end of the war in a big way. This wasn't the usual exchange of envoys using active or retire d knights, but rather an envoy from the Head of the Levios family to represent them.

Since the Levios family had made such a strong request, we had no choice but to compromise to some extent.

There were two options: accepting the envoy secretly, or accepting it publicly. Considering the possibility of provoking the Empire, there was room for consid eration of the secret option, but in the end, my father seemed to have decided on the policy of publicly accepting the envoy.

[It looks like it's going to be a pretty big group. It will be a lot of work to prepare for the visit to the other territories, and they're probably busy as usual. Althoug h it'll be a while before they actually come here.]

Just like ours, all the noble families are busy with various events around the New Year. The details are still being worked out, but my father thinks the actual vi sit will probably be around February or March.

[Who do you think will be the envoy?]

[Considering the scale, I think someone of a suitable position in the Levios family will be chosen.]

This Levios envoy visiting this time will not necessarily be just one Highlord. It's entirely possible that they'll bring in several Lord-class soldiers to provide esc ort, and it's also possible that a powerful Highlord will accompany the envoy as support.

Such an envoy who could coordinate that many Highlords must be someone of high station.

[For example?]

[I suppose it would be Princess Ena. In addition to being King Levios's biological daughter, Prince Dunkel, who is close to the Young Master, is her older broth er. She seems to be the most suitable person to come and see the results of Operation Jaw.]

If they were to send someone from the active current generation, Ena would be the most likely. Looking at the actions of the Levios family, it seems that they a re trying to assign Ena to me instead of Alina, so in that sense, she is probably the best choice.

By the way, if they were to send someone elderly, someone like Fayne Levios would be good with their name value. Granny Fayne has held important position s in the Royal Capital for many years and is skilled in noble diplomacy. It is said that she would be able to handle the envoy position without any problems.

I would rather have a young and beautiful Ena than a formidable old woman.

[However, no matter who comes, it won't be just one Highlord. It's that special of occasion.]

My father is planning to invite envoys not only to Newnelly City but also to Othelloria City.

The Levios delegation is coming to Othelloria city in the Quordenze territory, which is a very big political message.

Rather than accepting the delegation as instructed, we are aiming to use the Levios family to ratify the results of this battle. If this is realized, it will be difficult f or the Levios family to openly complain about the ceasefire agreement or the cession of territory.

[...Father has made a very bold decision. Quordenze is in a position where it cannot remain in limbo forever, but this clearly shows a stance in favor of the Kin gdom.]

If we had only accepted the ambassador in Newnelly city, we might have been able to keep our position ambiguous for a while and buy ourselves some time. However, the longer we maintained that attitude, the worse the impression we would leave to both the Kingdom and the Empire.

Father must have decided that now was the better time to make a decision.

[You're worried about the reaction of the partisan noble families, young master?]

[Yes. It looks like things will get even more turbulent in the south and west.]

The Quordenze family has used the noble families in the south and west of the Empire to fight against Spierzeig.

Naturally, they will be dissatisfied with the reception of the Levios delegation. The partisan nobles will be hoping for something like [The Spierzeig family has fi nally been defeated! The next chapter will finally see the start of the Kingdom invasion!].

[As long as the current Emperor doesn't act, I don't think there will be any major problems...]

On the other hand, if the Third Emperor, Emperor Ferolt, is pushed by the partisan nobles and moves to punish the Quordenze, it will develop into a major war. And my father concluded that it was no longer possible to calm the partisan noble families down by hesitation. This was the background behind his decision to bring in the Corridor Noble families in the north of the Empire, who still had anti-war ideology, and the Kingdom of Levios as allies.

[If we confront the Quordentze, it will cause a division even greater than the division of the Empire]

he said, shifting to a course of putting pressure on the Emperor.

[But, Emperor Ferolt's actions are suspicious.]

Detailed information has arrived via the Keybolf Corridor. The contact is from Nex Kanfora, an Imperial Knight whom I met previously at Alduke Fortress.

It seems that he was planning to visit the Quordenze territory immediately after Operation Snake's Jaw, but a problem arose in the Imperial Capital and he was unable to move.

[I do think that the matter with Viscount Managris is suspicious.]

The Managris family is Emperor Zinkaen's family. However, since Emperor Zinkaen was basically exiled in a manner that made their relationship delicate, even though they are his family, they are not in a position to brag about being Emperor Zinkaen's family.

Unlike the Kingdom, the Empire holds a certain meaning and value in its titles. Located in the western part of the Empire, the Managris family surrendered to E mperor Zinkaen early on. Despite this, the Managris family is treated as the second-lowest Viscounty family.

The other Imperial nobles seem to only think of them as

[Oh, come to think of it, the Managris family was the family of the First Emperor, wasn't it?]

. I was similar, and only thought of them as one of many Imperial noble families.

[The Managris family was on the verge of extinction when the Empire was founded.]

[Yes. I heard that the head of the family died out in the prolonged war, and only a few members of the shadow house remained.]

Emperor Zinkaen must have felt sorry for his family after seeing how ravaged it became, so he took on the role of head of the Managris family in addition to th e Imperial family, and therefore prevented its extinction. It may sound rude, but the Managris family was able to survive by piggybacking.

[And that's when the Knight Kanfor joined the Managris family.]

Emperor Zinkaen had government affairs to deal with in the Imperial Capital, so he had no time to go to the Managris territory in the westernmost part of the co ntinent. However, it would be troublesome if he left them there strangely and the surviving patriarch and knights got carried away and started saying things lik e,

[We're the family of the First Emperor, aren't we?]

. That’s why the Managris family needed someone to keep an eye on them.

...Well, that's the pretense, I guess. The southern and western parts of the Empire were ruled by faction nobles, in other words, bandit-like people until recentl y. Emperor Zinkaen needed a reliable ally to keep an eye on these people, who were unpredictable and could do anything at any time. Unlike the Kingdom of L evios, the Zinkaen Empire was not stable at all in the early days, and rebellions were commonplace.

Anyway, Nex, who had supported Emperor Zinkaen and my grandparents since the dawn of time, was given the family name Knight Kanfor and joined the Man agris family as their Head Knight.

[Nex's predecessor, and the predecessor before was highly trusted by the First Emperor.]

[Considering the position of the Managris family, that's only natural.]

Without the concurrent head of the family, Emperor Zinkaen, the influence of the head knight would inevitably be greater. The current Managris family's medio crity, or rather, their position as one of the Imperial noble families with little influence, is a result of that trust.

[Due to the Yersinia Calamity, the head family of the Managris family was wiped out again. And for some reason, Emperor Ferolt is trying to revive the family b y sending in his collateral relatives. It's a puzzling story.]

The current Empire is unstable, but it's still better than when the country was founded. There's almost no point in keeping the Managris family alive. It would b e more convenient to just destroy them and make them Imperial territory directly under the Imperial family's control.

[Restoring is not an easy task. It would be impossible for them to come here.]

Nex was the one who created the current Managris family, so he had no choice but to participate in the restoration plan. When Emperor Ferolt himself said,

[Please take care of the Managris family]

, his excuse as a retired former Knight could no longer hold up.

Nex is busy traveling back and forth between the Managris territory and the Imperial Capital, and he no longer has time to move around freely.

[It's in the preparation stage now, but a new Head of the Managris family will be appointed around next summer. Father thinks that if there's any movement in t he Empire, that's when it will happen. I feel the same way.]

Right now, there's a feeling in the Empire that "something will happen next summer". There was apprehension that something unexpected will happen when th ere's a vague sense of anxiety in the air, but when a near-term goal or time had been set like this, the tension gradually builds up as it heads towards it, and I d on't like it.

The atmosphere will be different in February or March of next year. The Levios family may be sending envoys at this time to gauge the situation. The Levios fa mily will also be sending spies to the Empire.

[It's probably best to assume that the Levios family is keeping a close eye on the movements of the Imperial Capital. If an incident like the May social Gatherin g were to occur in the Empire, it would be a major disaster.]

Even if a priest were to attack the Imperial Capital, the Quordenze family would not be in trouble. In the short term. If the Imperial Capital were in chaos, Emper or Ferolt would not have the time to put up with the foolish talk of partisan nobles.

However, if the chaos continues for a long time, negative effects may appear here and there. The May social Gathering ended relatively safely, but this was b ecause some people ignored the common sense of the nobles and ran wild, punishing the priest and defeating the Demonic Beast Kalamitis early on. Fortunat ely or unfortunately, there is no Orshian in the Imperial Capital.

Orshian, huh?

[Young Master?]

[...Nah, I was just worried that Princess Orshian might sneak into the Levios delegation. Hahaha...]

I was joking, but it scared me that she might actually come.

Orshian disliked the Levios family, but she wasn't on bad terms with Dunkel either. She had said that she wanted to see Nambonan City, so if she heard about this, she might take this as an opportunity and forcefully tag in with the envoys.

No, a normal Princess wouldn't do something so unreasonable, but this is Orshian we are talking about after all.

I'm a bit worried now, so I'll advise my father later. I want him to make sure the envoy does not bring anyone other than those related to the Levios family. If sh e gets carried away, it could cause chaos all over the Empire.

Maybe it was because I was thinking about this that Orsian's figure naturally came to mind. The scene when she confronted the Demonic Beast Kalamitis at th e May social, the enormous magic power that I felt at that time... and that fluctuation all came back to me vividly.

[Hmm?]

It felt like the last piece of the puzzle had clicked into place.

It somehow felt right.

[Young Master?]

I turned my hand towards the curious civil officer to silence him. I wanted to try this feeling before I forgot it.

I used my own magic to recreate the sensation I had felt that day. It was a magic reenactment experiment I had tried countless times since defeating the Demo nic Beast Kalamitis, and had attempted almost every day.

I had never been able to activate it before, but with the way I feel now...

...I can do it.

It was intuition.

I stood up on the spot and activated the power, relying on my magical senses.

[...I see.]

I was able to magically recognize the presence of the civil officer and the existence of my Lord-class vassals. Although it was a different recognition from the detection magic I usually use, I was certainly able to achieve the effect I was hoping for.

[I guess this means I have mastered detection magic-Orshian style.]

A smile unconsciously spilled out of my face.

After several months of hard work, it seemed that I had finally mastered this magic.
