—Crash
A black leather choker attached to the end of the chain in my hand. Even the silver spikes were protruding.
That truly blatant appearance seemed as if it would not allow even the slightest excuse.
No matter how I looked at it, it didn't look like an accessory, but rather a tool to control a disobedient beast.
'I'm going crazy. What on earth is going on?'
And that unholy object was stuck to the pure white nape of the neck of the most noble woman in the empire.
My eyes grew dark. If only Alicia had been playing a prank.
"Ugh… Master? Why are you suddenly like that?"
Alicia seemed completely unaware of the disaster that was unfolding. Still sobbing and wiping her eyes with both hands.
—Smack, smack...
In the meantime, the footsteps of the attendants, which were getting louder and louder, seemed to be squeezing my heart.
They were close enough to recognize us and talk to us, so if they came any closer, they would definitely catch us.
"Whoa!"
I couldn't argue about this or that. I just held Alicia in my arms and quickly flew behind the main beam nearby.
"Don't make a sound and stay here. Please."
"Yes, yes..."
Then I gave Alicia a firm warning and shouted at the attendants who were approaching, leaning halfway out.
"Wait, everyone, stop. The princess's condition is not very good right now, so I need some time to recover."
"Yes? What do you mean? Then I will help you right away. It is our duty to assist the princess."
However, did she sense something suspicious in my sudden impulsive behavior?
The bespectacled maid, who seemed to be the leader of the attendants, approached me openly, not hiding her suspicious expression.
There was no reason to stop her in the first place, but for now, I had to force her to come.
"Didn't I tell you not to come?"
"You can't do that. Please respect our duty."
However, despite my threatening and aggressive behavior, she just frowned slightly and approached me without paying attention.
This was a dilemma. What should I do?
'Oh, my God.'
If you use force without reason in the palace, you will be immediately executed for rebellion, and if you get caught like this, you will be socially dead.
In that case, there is only one way to overcome this situation. It is a last resort.
I approached the maid first, shut my eyes tightly, and whispered as quietly as I could.
"Why on earth are you doing this…?"
"The princess's clothes are a bit disheveled. It's embarrassing to look at."
"Ah."
Then, the maid glanced at me with a look of shock as if she understood, and stepped back far away.
'Yeah. This is better.'
It's worse than the worst.
Rather than the fact that the princess of the empire is a paraphiliac, it would be much better for rumors to spread that her love life is a bit excessive.
"Excuse me. If you need a towel to wipe yourself or new clothes, please let me know. And please be careful about the time and place."
"I'm sorry..."
She then blushed slightly and turned her head away from me, and in an instant, she changed her attitude and began to act very cooperative.
"Everyone, step back. You didn't see anything, and nothing happened just now. Do you understand?"
"Yes, maidservant!"
"Wait, maidservant Leona. What's going on all of a sudden? I demand a proper explanation."
"I'll explain later. For now, knights, please step back quickly."
"W-what...!"
A maidservant. I felt a strange sense of dignity, but she must be holding a fairly high position.
Judging from the way she dismisses the protests of not only her attendants but also the knights' escorts with a single word, it seems that not only her position but her own momentum is considerable.
She would have been successful even if she had served in the military, but she has such a person as her closest aide. Alicia seems to be quite lucky.
"Sir Wolfgang, please take good care of the princess. She likes you a lot, but she is an innocent person who doesn't know anything. This is the only time we'll let it go, so please have a healthy relationship in the future..."
"Keep that in mind."
Naive? You don't know anything?
You fooled even your closest confidants. Alicia, how great is your acting?
Although there seemed to be a lot of misunderstandings mixed in with the whispers I was hearing, I was grateful anyway.
"Whew... Thank goodness."
When the attendants left, I felt greatly relieved and returned to Alicia, who was hiding behind the main beam.
—Crunch...!
Alicia, who had stopped crying at some point, was fiddling with the dog leash and chain around my neck with an expression that seemed to be very interested.
As I quietly watched her immoral behavior, her annoying hands slowly began to move down to my lower body, so I immediately grabbed her wrist in surprise.
"What are you doing?"
Then, Alicia flinched in surprise and immediately blushed and stared up at me.
The reaction after that was even more amazing.
"What, woof woof...?"
Alicia imitated the sound of a puppy's cry and thrust a dangling chain into my hand. What on earth did she want me to do?
'Damn, this wasn't the gift I was given. I should've chosen something else.'
Suddenly, a deep sense of self-loathing came over me.
They said it could change into any shape depending on its purpose. Why did it have to change into something like that?
"Your Highness. Excuse me for a moment."
"Yes...?"
For now, I didn't want to look at that damn dog leash anymore.
I reached out to Alicia's pure white nape and tried to take off the leash.
Since I couldn't see the seam, I guess I'd have to just rip it off to get rid of it. Since it was a relic, it would probably have an automatic repair function.
"Kekeke...! Master, it hurts, it hurts...♡"
"Oh, damn it."
But my attempt ended in miserable failure.
That necklace was much more durable than it looked. It seemed impossible to destroy it with bare hands.
"M-Must you strangle me... I like it...! Just control your strength so it doesn't break!"
"Please, just keep your mouth shut and stay still."
Thanks to that, only a reddish mark that looked unusual was left on Alicia's pure white nape.
Just because I couldn't tear it off with my bare hands, I couldn't just stick a knife or an aura on her neck, so I had to find another way.
"Hehehe... Seeing the gift you gave me turn into this, does that mean I'm still your bitch?"
Meanwhile, Alicia's tone of voice was particularly annoying in the midst of my already disturbing mood.
Didn't I tell you to speak normally at the palace earlier? Why on earth do you not listen to me?
You always say, "Master, Master," but has she ever really listened to me?
Thinking about it, I suddenly feel irritated.
—Shoot!
In a fit of anger, I grabbed the chain and growled softly at Alicia.
"Princess. No, Alicia. Didn't I clearly tell you to be careful with your speech?"
"Ugh...?! I'm, I'm sorry...♡"
When I see you calling me Master or a bitch every time, it seems like you really want to be treated like that.
'Oops.'
Damn, that was a mistake.
"Heh... Heh...!"
"Oh no! I'm sorry, Princess."
Alicia was breathing hard, her throat choked. I quickly relaxed my arms and hugged her to me, comforting her.
The resentment that had built up exploded, and I ended up doing something barbaric without realizing it.
"Are you okay? Are you hurt? First, I need to do something about this dog collar."
"Ha...♡ It was so good just now."
However, while I felt a great sense of guilt, she seemed to feel a great sense of satisfaction from what she had just done.
—Sigh!
"I really, really like the gift, but you've become even more awesome... I'm so happy right now."
Alicia, who had been treated so badly, shyly kissed my cheek and laughed.
Could it be that what she had just done had stimulated her masochistic instincts?
"What the hell?"
"You just grabbed the chain, can you do it again? Huh?"
There's a limit to feeling pleasure from pain. What happened just now was almost like a threat.
I'm confused. This means that general punishment or verbal abuse will not be effective at all and will only make her even more agitated.
Then how should I educate this woman?
Dating strategies like 'pushing' or 'pulling'? That's not something that will work on Alicia, who I can barely even see properly.
... I think I should think about that later and deal with the immediate issue first.
"Princess. Let's start with that necklace."
"Huh? I just want to keep wearing it."
"Please, don't make such ridiculous jokes."
Come to think of it, Alicia still can't help but not know what this necklace does. After all, His Majesty barged in just as I was about to explain it.
"Princess. This is..."
I recited to her the exact function of the necklace as written on the display case.
The moment the Fairy Queen's necklace turned into a dog leash was definitely after Alicia had said something nonsensical about bitches being punished.
Then, is this the kind of artifact that changes according to the wearer's will?
After hearing my explanation, Alicia closed her eyes for a moment and began to concentrate.
—Paaat!
"Oh, that's it!"
Then, the Fairy Queen's necklace quickly returned to its original form.
I was worried that it wouldn't return easily, but it didn't seem to be that difficult to handle.
"Phew, thank goodness."
"Uhuhu... This is more fun than I thought? Then next time..."
With that, the incident was roughly concluded, and Alicia smiled brightly and linked arms with me.
—Kook!
The feeling of her soft breasts instantly relieved my tension and I felt extreme mental fatigue.
However, when she leaned her head against me, the sweet body scent that I began to sense naturally calmed my mind.
"Sir Wolfgang, what did you talk about with Abba Mama?"
"It'll take a while to explain."
So, I walked around the corridors of the palace with Alicia and talked for a long time.
...............….
After finishing all my schedules and returning home, I collapsed on my bed and fell into deep thought.
Today was one of the most dense days of my life.
I had a series of big events, such as visiting the Imperial Relics Vault and having a conversation with His Majesty the Emperor, and even almost had a major accident at the end.
"Still, I'm very thankful that nothing bad happened."
But in the end, I somehow managed to get through all of that safely. I gained a lot.
Thinking about it like that, all the extreme mental fatigue seems to turn into a sense of accomplishment.
As I open the window and enjoy the breeze blowing in, I feel very good and am about to go to bed.
"Hmm? Your energy level has increased a lot, disciple. How did you notice that I have free time?"
"No, Master?"
A surprise guest appeared on the wind to decorate the end of a long day.
