Chapter 66 - Chapter 66 — One Trouble Leaves, Another Arrives
I spoke to the women while applying Intimidation.
"If you want to have a pointless fight, please take it outside. Only those who wish to discuss what we do from now on should remain. What will you do? If you think complaining will solve anything, go ahead outside! However, from this point on, I will not lend an ear to anything any of you say, understood?"
When I said that, they fell silent and adopted an attitude of listening to what I had to say.
"You all have faults as well. You didn't notice for an entire month that he hadn't remembered your names. There were over fifty of you, and you each believed that you alone would become his bride."
Faces that seemed to want to say "but," people who looked like they wanted to argue—I suppressed them with Intimidation and continued speaking.
"Whether he said he would make you his bride or not, debating it here won't clarify anything. But one thing that is clear is that there seems to be no mistake about the fact that you were embraced by Lord Aristo. And the problem is that you all believe you were deceived. For that, let us involve your families and discuss the future. How about it? Shall we begin with those whose guardians are in the Imperial Capital?"
Saying there was no other choice, everyone seemed to understand. I had set the stage for Aristo, so just as I was about to leave, telling him to do his best from here on, he cried, "Help me." It seemed he could imagine being verbally abused by their parents, siblings, and grandparents.
Then Aria, who had been watching from the shadows, came over and said sadly, "Please. Help him... Even though he's like this, he's still... technically my husband..."
"Understood. If I am acceptable."
When I said that, Aristo's expression became one of relief. He was rejoicing without even noticing that Aria was linking arms with me. Most likely, neither Klaus nor Windam would come forward. Dealing with the mess Aristo had made below the belt was nothing but a nuisance to them.
(Well, fine. If I navigate this well, relations with the Klaus family will improve, and Aqua will be pleased too. Even if Aria's marriage is political, considering the relationship between the Imperial Family and the Grand Duke family, she probably can't get divorced over something of this level...)
Thinking that interviews would likely start as early as tomorrow, I went to ask the Principal. At times like this, being the top student of the year is convenient. The Principal, who seemed to know the general circumstances, laughed and said, "Even if it's to clean up after your best friend, you've got it rough!" and prepared a spacious reception room for us. There were also separate rooms where individual discussions could be held. He even arranged for teachers to guide the guardians.
Thanks to my various efforts, Aristo regained a bit of his composure.
Saying it was just an excuse, he began to speak bit by bit. He said that for as long as he could remember, he had been bad at remembering people's faces and names.
(It feels similar to what they call prosopagnosia in modern terms. Probably, Windam is the same, and it's congenital. Even Heal couldn't fix this.)
Thinking that, I read Aristo's thoughts...
When he entered the Academy, as the grandson of the greatest noble in this country and with good looks, he gained popularity. In a past life, it would be like an idol who entered the entertainment industry. He broke out all at once, and women flocked to him. He awakened through sex with Aria and seemed to become obsessed with embracing women.
"I became incredibly popular and got carried away. On top of that, during the training camp, unlike the dormitories, it was easy to go back and forth between the men's and women's rooms... so I just... ended up..."
"As a fellow man, I understand the feeling. However... now that things have come to this, we must do something about it."
I felt like a manager cleaning up after an idol.
I understood his sadness upon realizing that money and status were everyone's goal. The shock must be great precisely because he believed he was popular by his own merit.
"Perhaps your father, Lord Windam, went to brothels understanding that aspect? Since it seems resolvable with money."
He shook his head and laughed sadly, saying, "For a while, I don't think I'll be able to get it up..."
When I invited Aria, whom I hadn't been with in a while, to my room at the White Castle, she told me various things. Apparently, she went to the Bismarck house yesterday and was apologized to by Klaus and Windam. Klaus nearly prostrated himself in a dogeza, saying, "I am deeply sorry for my foolish grandson," which flustered her.
"Honestly, I went there to say I wanted a divorce... but I couldn't say it."
I think the other party was one step ahead. As she undressed, she said, "Also, Kate said she wants to sleep with you tonight. She asked me to request it!" and became completely naked.
When I told her about my conversation with Aristo, she clung to me and said, "That's right. Without an ability like yours, you can't have sex in the dormitories."
"Today, let me devote myself to you until morning!"
She performed a thorough, licking fellatio, then lowered her hips herself into the cowgirl position. Perhaps because it had been a while, her vagina was tightly squeezing and clinging.
"This pussy has completely taken the shape of your cock, hasn't it?"
Saying that, she tightened her vagina with a squeeze and began to moan. Aria, shaking her hips on top of me and climaxing, was adorable.
"Today, I'll cherish you until morning!"
"You are my Wife of the Heart! I love you!"
After enjoying ourselves until the next morning, we returned to school.
I headed to the reception room with Aristo.
"The only ones coming today are Marquis Majesta and Liliana."
The teacher informed us.
"Shivans... who is Liliana?"
Don't ask me...
"She's the girl who was rather strong-willed and complaining relentlessly. Her face was beautiful too, but don't you remember? She was the one acting as everyone's leader."
Even Aristo, who couldn't remember faces or names, had an impression of being thoroughly complained about by the leader-type girl, and he hung his head, saying, "I'm bad with her..."
"Understood. I will definitely manage something!"
"Even knowing I'm at fault, I hate this kind of thing. I'm counting on you."
Well, of course.
I wanted to tell him that even for me, until I was twenty-nine, apologizing to business partners gave me a stomach-churning pain.
The time came, and we faced them.
To the nervous and pale Aristo, Marquis Majesta spoke in a gentle tone, like an old man.
"Everyone makes mistakes in their youth. However... even as a student, you are already an adult. You will take responsibility properly."
Trembling, Aristo asked, "Um... responsibility... what should I do?"
"You simply need to separate from Lady Aria and make Liliana your legal wife!"
Told something he knew was absolutely impossible, Aristo's eyes welled up with tears.
"Shivans... help me..."
Aristo, his face and lips so pale he seemed about to faint, whispered to me.
(Is he spouting nonsense out of doting love for his granddaughter? Or does he think we're brats and is looking down on us? I might look like this, but inside I'm quite the old man!)
Taking over for Aristo, who had already fainted, I spoke.
"I heard from Rōtoru-san that you are on good terms, but are you bad at negotiations?"
He had been speaking without knowing who I was.
When I introduced myself, he grinned and said, "I've heard about you from Rōtoru. He said you're an interesting kid." As I thought, he was looking down on me as a brat.
Since he doesn't know I can read thoughts, he probably thinks he still has the upper hand.
"If His Excellency Klaus knew of this discussion, he would be angry. After all, Lady Liliana is the second daughter of His Excellency's third son. Moreover, she was drugged and raped when she was fifteen years old."
To the surprised face of Majesta, I sneered, "Make her your legal wife? How dare you shamelessly say something so impudent."
Both were surprised, but Majesta seemed not to know about the rape, asking Liliana, "Is that true...?"
"It's appalling that her own family is unaware. Even now, the name Liliana is famous in the underworld of the Imperial Capital. Make her your legal wife? If it becomes known that you pressured him to divorce for that, you would instead be ridiculed by His Majesty and His Excellency Klaus, and your entire family would be erased, you know?"
Hearing they would be erased, the two panicked.
Using both carrot and stick, I made them listen to what I had to say.
"I think it would be best if you quietly went home as is. I will not let things turn out badly for Your Excellency Majesta or for her future. Fortunately, Lord Aristo is asleep."
Saying he understood, he moved to leave his seat, so I told him that only Liliana should remain, and he obediently complied. I took Aristo to his room and let him sleep.
Liliana was waiting in the reception room.
I sat next to Liliana and said, "Relax. You can be honest with me about anything," and she nodded. Perhaps from tension, she gulped down the water placed in front of her. That water was laced with a slightly strong aphrodisiac.
"Was the sex with Aristo good?"
"It was just once, and it ended quickly, so I wasn't satisfied at all..."
I took Liliana's hand, left the reception room, and flew to the White Castle using Instant Movement. "Where is this?" she said, looking around restlessly. She seemed quite aroused, so we bathed together, and I cleaned her with shampoo, conditioner, and body soap. While making her whole body smooth with hair removal cream for shaving, we talked.
"Liliana, you didn't really want to get married, did you? Aristo's cock, and just once at that, couldn't possibly have satisfied your extremely slutty pussy."
Her body toyed with, she shook her head while panting heavily.
"Why don't you admit it? Drugged, you drowned in sex and were just searching for a male who could satisfy your extremely slutty body. But the men who came were all trash who heard the rumors and thought they could fuck you for free, coming just to get laid. So you thought of marrying Aristo to protect yourself from that trash, didn't you?"
"That's right! Is that so wrong? Even now, my pussy aches..."
"You're not the one at fault, Liliana. The men who trapped you are."
At my words, she burst into tears, clinging to me and crying.
When I kissed and embraced her, she said, "For a devil, you're kind, aren't you?"
"God is far colder, isn't he? He doesn't even lend a hand to a poor girl who was drugged and turned into a nymphomaniac."
She laughed, "Ahahaha," and was just a normal girl.
"So, will you save this poor girl who was turned into a nymphomaniac?"
"Until now, I couldn't consult my grandfather or anyone, and I've been worrying alone all this time. Just like Lord Aristo, Liliana, you too were popular and carried away in the past, and you resent being toyed with by real devils, don't you?"
She nodded firmly and said, "Resent is too mild a word! I want to tear them to pieces and make them taste hell! But... it's impossible..." and looked about to cry again.
"I can do it!"
When I said that, she looked up and said, "Really? You're not lying, right?" So I said, "I'll tell only you. What we'll do about it." She said, "I will keep any secret! I know the pain of betrayal better than anyone."
When I revealed that it was Chaos who previously controlled the underworld, Liliana was surprised.
"In other words, you can surmise that the thugs who attacked Liliana were likely people connected to Chaos, right?"
"I understand that. But who controls the underworld now?"
When I told her it was me, she made a truly surprised face, saying, "No way!" So I sneered, "What would I gain from telling such a pointless lie? I've already disposed of everyone connected to Chaos. They call me a devil at the Academy, but that's still lukewarm. In the underworld, those who opposed me truly think I'm a devil. So it should be easy to avenge Liliana, don't you think?"
"So, what will Liliana do? Do you want to sell your soul to this devil called me to get revenge? Or..."
As I started to speak, she sealed my lips with a kiss.
"That's a foolish question! You don't understand anything about me!"
In Liliana's heart, pitch-black negative emotions—"grudge," "deep resentment," "rancor," "bitter hatred"—had been swirling ever since she was fifteen. She showed me her bandaged wrist.
"Drugged by men with venereal diseases, turned into a body that ached, I was called out by someone almost every day. Unable to go to school, days of being mocked with 'You're our sex slave!' or 'Be grateful we'll use you as a cum dumpster for life!' It was hell."
She couldn't even get treatment for the venereal diseases. Because the body that had been drugged had fallen into 'sex addiction.' That's why she had repeatedly engaged in self-harm.
"The men who were so obsessed with my body stopped coming after the war ended. I was relieved, but I didn't know when I might be called out again. But when the calls stopped, my body... ached unbearably!"
That's when she set her sights on Aristo.
"That guy is the same as the trash who just wanted to fuck. A good-for-nothing who only cared about his own pleasure. Hey? Can you really send those bastards to hell?"
I smiled and said, "Of course."
"I've always wished for revenge! If my dearest wish is granted, I don't care at all if I fall into hell! For that, I'll become a sex slave or a cum dumpster!"
When I told her it was irritating that she thought saying that would please me just because I'm a man, her face became despairing, asking, "Then what do you want me to do?" So I said, "Calm down," and pulled her into an embrace.
"Your body was drugged and trampled by many men, wasn't it?"
"Even now, my pussy aches terribly. Something like Aristo's limp dick..."
In the end, he was just a noble's rich boy, lacking any roughness, and it seemed to have ended in an instant.
"Well, I get what you want to say! Why not be greedy while you're at it? If you can satisfy Liliana's lewd body and get revenge, wouldn't your heart be a little satisfied too?"
"You're saying you can satisfy me all by yourself? If you can, then I truly won't let you go for a lifetime! There's no way a human capable of that exists."
Completely naked, Liliana began to climax repeatedly when I caressed her for a long time. She realized it was a completely different pleasure from the drugs. And when she was finally embraced, she began to climax in every part of her body. Not just her nipples and clit, but she reached orgasm and experienced internal climaxes.
"I don't know this! The squirting won't stop!"
"Hey, hey! It's only just begun! Don't think this is all there is!"
"Eh? I'm already cumming! I've cum so many times!"
"Don't be stupid! I'll make you understand my cock feels better than drugs!"
"It feels good! My pussy is breaking! I'm going crazy!"
Her body, swept away by waves of pleasure over and over, kept twitching and spasming. Liliana, who had fallen into womanhood, twitched and spasmed before fainting.
When Liliana awoke, her face was refreshed, as if a possessing spirit had left her. I showed her a mirror and said, "This is your true face. Walk your future with this face," and she said happily,
"I've finally found a real man! This rough, strong, big cock is what I've always wanted! You've trained this extremely slutty female pussy, haven't you!"
"You seem awfully happy?"
"Ufufu! Of course I'm happy, Master!"
After That
I gave Liliana orders.
"With your good style and beauty, you'll captivate men. Gather intelligence inside and outside the Academy. However, don't use that body. The only one allowed to use it is me, understood?"
"Of course! I won't show my skin or let anyone touch it! Because I am a woman who belongs only to my Master!"
When I said I would embrace her as a reward if she procured good intel, she was full of enthusiasm. When I asked if she remembered the guys who drugged and raped Liliana, she said sadly, "The room was dim and I couldn't see, and I don't remember their faces well..."
Apparently, she was abducted at the time, assaulted in a dim room, and didn't even get a good look at their faces.
"First, let's investigate that guy!"
"Understood!"
Thinking it was perfect timing, to announce to the underworld that Liliana was my woman, I told her we'd go out into the city together and had her change into lewd underwear and lewd clothes. When I also gave her the same uniform as the Student Council, she was delighted, so I had her change immediately, and she put on a fashion show by herself.
Returning to the Imperial Capital, I gathered the underworld executives and key figures and introduced Liliana.
"She's my woman. If you want to live long, don't spread unsavory rumors about Liliana or get manipulated. And find the source of the rumors!" I said, imbuing my words with Intimidation, and everyone nodded.
After that, I said, "Let's go on a date," linked arms with her, and walked through the city together. With this, the thugs should also understand that Liliana is my woman.
"How is it? Even seeing a good man, you don't get aroused anymore, right?"
"It's true! Men other than my Master seem utterly insignificant!"
When I said that's because obtaining me satisfied her heart and body, she accepted everything.
I returned to school to check on things.
Everyone knew that the discussion between Liliana and Aristo was over, but more than that, everyone was preoccupied with their own issues. Since Aristo didn't remember her in the first place, even if Liliana and I became friends with benefits, he probably wouldn't care. Liliana's heart was already racing with the search for the culprit who used drugs on her.
After parting with Liliana, I went to the Klaus family and reported that I had, for the time being, managed to placate the Majesta family today.
"However... if things remain as they are, they will be left crying themselves to sleep, so I would be grateful if you could consider something. For example, since Liliana's father is the third son and has no future, how about granting him a title?"
When I said it didn't have to be immediate and asked them to think about it, Windam asked, "What about the other fifty-plus?"
"That's simple! I'll settle it all at once! There is someone I would like you to prepare..."
That is an etiquette instructor of the strictest caliber. We'll make them learn, telling them that if they want to marry into the next Grand Duke family after the Imperial Family, they must endure strict etiquette. If we make them understand that sex alone won't cut it, they'll all run away, won't they?
"I think most will give up the moment the etiquette instructor is brought in. If they still persevere without giving up, then conversely, they might have potential. The problem was that Lord Aristo only remembered one person, leading to a huge mess. Now, there might not be anyone who seriously wants to become his bride."
They could probably imagine the situation.
"I can see it clearly..." the Lady said, holding her head, and Aqua apologized, "He's truly a foolish child. I'm so sorry, Shivans-kun..."
However, Klaus was elated, saying, "It's a good plan! Let's arrange it immediately!" The Lady and Aqua laughed, saying, "Even we would run away from an etiquette teacher!" And when asked, "You'll need money too, won't you, Shivans-kun?" I nodded.
"Probably, at minimum, a total of one hundred million will be necessary..."
"I thought so. If it's not enough, tell me. I'll cover the full amount."
Thus, preparations for negotiations were in order.
The guardians who arrived from the next day.
Vigorously, they pressed Aristo, "You will take responsibility, won't you?"
"Then, do you have the resolve to have her learn strict etiquette daily as a bride of the Grand Duke family? She will learn everything from how to lift and lower a spoon. Of course, that applies to you who would become relatives as well!"
It was visibly obvious that they flinched at my words. The girls themselves, having come with the expectations of their parents and siblings, would realize upon thinking about it that marrying into the highest nobility of this country was no easy task.
"Marrying into a family above one's station is... impossible!"
When it came to this, the guardians had no choice but to give up. Things seemed to be settling vaguely and ambiguously. Of course, when I said we would pay an appropriate amount of money, the discussions settled down. However, I thought we needed to take some measures for the girls who truly believed they were deceived and harbored resentment. Parents could be settled with money, but daughters were not so simple.
"There's no future in being with a man who won't even remember your name! In the end, did you just treat it like a party, intending it to be a one-night thing? ...If you had said that from the beginning, I wouldn't have let myself be embraced! Saying you'd make me your bride... you coward!"
Aristo was forgiven by prostrating himself in a dogeza, crying and apologizing, "I'm sorry for saying I would make you my bride..." but was told, "I pity Lady Aria, who married a perverted freak who can only love his Mama!"
Thus, after about a month of negotiations, what awaited was Aristo, who blew past me—the one detested and abhorred as a devil—to brilliantly claim the number one worst spot, earning the title of "Perverted Freak Cowardly Bastard Who Can Only Love His Mama."
Just when I thought things had finally settled down. At that moment, a girl appeared, saying, "I am pregnant with Lord Aristo's child..." One trouble leaves, another arrives.
"Is that true?"
Aristo, once again assailed by the women, said, "I don't remember..." further incurring their displeasure and lowering his reputation. In reality, Aristo, who didn't even properly remember the faces of the women he had embraced, couldn't possibly answer when asked if it was true.
When this news reached the Klaus family, the four of them held their heads, saying, "Again?"
However, according to Aristo, he had "cast contraceptive magic on all the women," so it probably wasn't a lie. I also couldn't imagine there was a woman of a higher level than Aristo, so I intuitively felt it was a trap.
Aristo was called to the Student Council Room.
First, he was questioned by Kate.
"Hey? You didn't have sex at the Academy, right? Did you go to some love hotel?"
When he answered that he didn't, Aria asked, "What about the inn in the dungeon?" He said, "I don't remember who it was with, but I feel like I did it with several people," leaving them dumbfounded.
The Next Day
Leaving the father, furious that his daughter had been impregnated, to Aristo, I treated the daughter while listening to her story. Since it would be troublesome if she was frightened by my interrogation, I asked Kate to do it.
"Do you remember where you were embraced?"
"It was at an inn in the dungeon..."
After dinner, when she drank with her companions, she felt sick and returned to her room first to sleep. In the dimness, while her consciousness was hazy, she was stripped naked and a man was on top of her. When she asked who it was, the man said he was Aristo, and then something like a cloth was placed over her, and she fell asleep again.
"Around that time, I heard that Lord Aristo was having relations with various women, so I thought it was definitely him... My chest was noticeable too..."
Both Kate and I thought the culprit was someone else. That Aristo would do something akin to rape was unthinkable. While I used 'Revive' to try to restore her uterus to its original state, I passed this information on to Liliana.
"Don't you think it resembles the situation when Liliana was attacked?"
"Mine was far worse. But it might be the work of the same gang or a copycat. If we can catch them, we might extract some information, right?"
She said she would change from her uniform into a sexy dress, so I also applied makeup and had her put on a choker. This also had 'Instant Death Prevention' enchanted on it.
"I'm so happy! With this, I can vow that I belong only to my Master! I want to be embraced lewdly again soon... I am a female flesh slave who obeys a virile male's cock!"
She went out into the city in high spirits.
When I changed her hairstyle and did her makeup daily, Liliana became even more beautiful. She was gaining popularity in the city. The thugs also called her "Big Sis Lily" and adored her.
As for the Academy, Aristo was being called a 'Marriage-Bait Swindler' or a 'Good-for-Nothing Bastard Who Got Someone Pregnant Through Rape' and was suffering a miserable fate.
"They say he doesn't even remember the faces or names of who he fucked."
"Seems that way. Isn't he dumber than your average playboy?"
"That guy's a rich boy, so isn't he just doing drugs and getting high?"
"Even if his real mother is young and beautiful... normally, you wouldn't get turned on, right? Isn't that why he can't remember other women's faces or names?"
Even the male students began to react coldly to him. Meanwhile, the female students were having conversations like this.
"The girls who spread their legs for such trash are stupid too, right?"
"Even though Lady Aria is there. Did they seriously think they could become his bride?"
"I pity Lady Aria. She's likely to give birth to a stupid child in the future."
"Loving his Mama and venting his lust on other women? That's utterly intolerable, isn't it?"
The image of a perverted freak with a mother complex had completely taken root within the Academy. Linking arms with me beside her, Aria asked what I thought.
"Lord Aristo is not the culprit."
"I want to believe that too. But he should at least remember the faces and names of the women he embraces!"
She clung tightly to my arm, so I gave her a soft kiss.
One Day
The woman's pregnancy was successfully made to have never happened.
That night, Kate declared, "You can embrace me until morning!" Wondering what on earth had happened, I asked, and she complained in a very angry tone, "Liliana was wearing a choker! I'm your only sex slave, right!"
"In the first place, you only kept yours on when I said to take off Kate's choker, right? That girl is only for half a year. Are you jealous?"
She thought for a moment and said, "Maybe..." turning red.
So when I told her that the ones I embrace unconditionally are only Kate and Aria, she made an incredibly happy face, clung to me, and said, "Embrace me lots! I'm your only eternal sex slave."
