She had undergone training to develop resistance to torture during her time
in the imperial court, which naturally required her to endure various forms
of torture.
It was a mandatory process.
But she could say for certain that she had never experienced torture like this
before.
Could this even be considered torture in the first place?
So far, it felt like something very easy.
No, if she could get through this ordeal with just this, it would be nothing
short of divine fortune.
She only had to endure being tied up.
However…
'I just can't understand their intentions.'
Her mind was filled with questions.
What does intimacy between a man and a woman mean?
She remembered encountering it quite often in novels.
They would meet based on mutual affection, which would deepen into love,
and then one day, a mood would arise, leading to undressing…
But the gap between fiction and reality was immense.
The scene earlier where the First Princess forcibly took Jaekiel was one
thing, and the torture Anes was now to endure was another.
"Mmph…!"
As Anes struggled to speak, the First Princess momentarily loosened the
gag binding her.
"If you have something to say, say it now."
"Truly, if I endure this, you won't hold this against me anymore?"
"I don't know about the Teacher's intentions, but I will not."
With that answer, the gag was replaced once more.
It was easier than she thought, and truly a relief.
She just needed to lie there like a mouse.
Since she couldn't see, all she had to do was wait until the two finished
their intimate encounter.
However. In the next moment.
"Chuu…"
Sticky sounds filled the air.
She heard the First Princess licking Jaekiel's body everywhere.
Though it was just a sound, Anes involuntarily flinched.
"…!"
She was shocked at herself.
"Heup… huff… Chuu…"
Anes realized too late.
Just because she thought she could stop thinking, could she really do so?
No, it was impossible as long as she was alive.
It was Jaekiel, of all people, openly having intimate relations with the
Princess beside her.
Because she couldn't see, her imagination began to run wild.
Her lower abdomen quickly began to heat up.
Anes sensed it.
This ordeal would be harder to endure than she had anticipated.
"Hnnnng… Chup… Huff… Ahh, already like this…?"
Was she licking Jaekiel's member?
Hmph, chup-chup.
The sounds of her sucking began to increase in rhythm.
Every time Jaekiel let out a ragged breath, it hit Anes directly.
This was too close; the sounds were truly dangerous.
"Eub…"
Anes began to twist her bound body.
Her body was heating up, making it difficult to stay still.
"Euk, eug, hmmmp… Huuu…"
The sound of her licking his member in a lewd manner.
It created problems as her mind kept wandering into fantasies.
Was she fully engulfing it while sucking?
Or was she obsessively licking the tip?
Or was she swirling her tongue around the shaft as she licked?
Every image of Jaekiel being pleasured flashed through her mind.
It was an incredibly bewildering sensation.
"Eub…!"
"Chup, eup, mmmm… Huff, haaa…"
The pleasure continued as if Anes didn't even exist.
Suddenly, she felt like a loser and a lower-class citizen.
Honestly.
She wanted to be happy with Jaekiel.
It would be a lie to say she hadn't thought that.
But.
Beside her, they were enjoying such hot and explicit ecstasy.
While she was weak and of a lower status, feeling like a loser.
She had nothing to grasp except the sounds.
But.
It was truly strange that she could be excited just by the sounds.
As a loser, she should feel sad, yet her body was heating up instead.
"Chup, euup, haaah…"
The teasing breaths tickling her ears were too intense.
Anes unconsciously clenched her thighs.
It felt as if something was leaking from her lower body.
"Mm…! Mm…!"
Anes was not shouting for her bonds to be loosened.
She could do nothing but let out sounds as her body grew hotter.
It was instinct.
Then, at some moment.
Plap plap!
"Haaaah…! It feels amazing, no matter when it goes in. It's a mind-blowing
sensation…! I feel like I'm becoming addicted…!"
When his member penetrated the Princess's wet walls.
"!"
Anes's hips jolted as if she had been electrocuted.
Though her body was bound, she convulsed, bouncing her lower half
several times.
"Mm, mm…! Mm…!"
A stream leaked from her lower body.
But she had no time to feel shame.
The warm pleasure that melted her rationality seized her mind.
"Heuk…! Heuk…! Heuk…!"
Anes soon stuck out her tongue as much as possible, letting out sounds like
a dog on a hot day.
Even if it was disgraceful, her body acted on its own, leaving her helpless.
"Hoooo hoooo hoooo…"
Suddenly, the First Princess's laughter echoed.
"Secretary, you seem to have lost all composure. It seems you held some
feelings for the Teacher, too?"
Anes wanted to argue something.
It was true that she had feelings for Jaekiel, but she hadn't intended to
pounce on him like the First Princess.
She hadn't been pursuing anything sexual.
What Anes had wanted was merely…
To perform their duties excellently together, to have playful conversations
now and then, and to share meals together a few times.
That was her simple happiness.
"Mm…! Mm…!"
As Anes shook her head in denial, the First Princess laughed louder.
"You're denying it. How pitiful, not even knowing your own feelings."
"Eub…! Mmmm?"
It was then that Ether's slender fingers pressed down on Anes's clitoris,
which was concealed within her folds.
She pressed precisely on the right spot, and the reaction was strong.
"!"
Anes couldn't even scream and instead quivered, her body shaking.
Her whole body convulsed like mad.
"Just pressing makes you react like this, and yet you still pretend to be
proper? Are you not being honest? Or are you unaware of yourself?"
"N-No, eub…! Mm…!"
Anes shook her head desperately.
It was an unspoken signal for her to stop.
Ether gently stroked Anes's hair.
"That won't do. You will pay for the crime of spying on my intimate
moments, for pleasuring yourself while watching another's man. Didn't you
say with your own mouth? 'Just spare my life'."
Anes had to acknowledge it.
She had no understanding of herself.
Having valued reason and suppressed her instincts all this time, she had
become incredibly clumsy at recognizing her own feelings and desires.
And she had underestimated this punishment.
"Secretary, shall I tell you something interesting?"
"Mm…! Mm…!"
"Humans are truly weak. That's why you must practice every day, and what
I'm about to tell you is a fact about your brain."
Press.
Ether's finger pressed against Anes's temple.
"The human brain is also quite foolish. If it senses someone else's intimate
moments so close… what do you think will happen? Do you have any
ideas?"
"..."
Anes held her breath for a moment.
She was apprehensive about what Ether would say next.
And then.
A moment later, the words that slipped from the First Princess's lips were
shocking.
"It will make you feel as though you're experiencing the intimacy yourself.
It will be both a gift and a punishment for you. Isn't that so?"
"…!"
Anes's eyes, covered by the gag, widened in shock.
To think that she would feel as if she were having intimate relations with
Jaekiel without even touching him!
Was there really a position more pitiful than this?
No, maybe she should be happy about this.
After all, compared to the First Princess, her status was far inferior.
Should she be grateful just for the ability to have such an illusion?
Ether's words were confusing yet somehow true.
From Anes's perspective, who had feelings for Jaekiel, it was indeed a gift
while simultaneously a punishment.
"Mmmm…"
Anes made a sorrowful sound as if pondering something, but soon, her
voice was completely drowned out.
Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!
Ether was likely frantically thrusting on top of Jaekiel.
The sound of flesh colliding filled the room, drowning out all other sounds.
"…!"
Anes trembled.
She let out countless silent screams.
It was far too stimulating and violent a sensation for her to accept.
The sounds, driven solely by instinct, teased her senses and gradually
dismantled her inner self.
And eventually, she crumbled completely.
In the end, she had no choice but to succumb.
The dual sensations of defeat and pleasure shattered her mind.
