[Maybe this chap could be considered 15+? Not an important chap, so feel free to skip.]

Lavishly adorned chandeliers, musicians lined up alongside the partitions, tables crammed with desserts costlier than an adventurer’s life.

A single slice of cake price three comrades’ lives is so absurd it does not even spark anger. Simply as a struggling scholar in Noryangjin[1] craves scorching pork stomach over cup noodles, not an Arab oil prince’s feast.

The sum spent on this ball alone may rent a complete mercenary band with gold left to scatter throughout the ground.

“My, are you nervous? I assumed you had been simply reliable… how lovely.”

Smiling coyly beside me is the noblewoman who gave me my first non-public fee. 5 years into my adventurer’s life, and I’ve bought connections with the Aristocracy. No leads on escape, however I’d find yourself settling on this fantasy world.

From that angle, this job is not dangerous. She claims she posted the escort request to point out off assembly a good-looking, promising adventurer, however I’ve bought nothing to lose.

I can earn a yr’s financial savings simply by awkwardly enjoying trophy at a celebration and forcing a couple of smiles. Cash begets cash – climbing from intermediate to superior rank modified the size of job funds solely.

“Properly, it is my first time at an occasion like this.”

“I suppose such a refined setting may really feel overseas to a stalwart warrior all the time exploring uncharted territories.”

This lady handles folks skillfully. An inexperienced faculty scholar won’t discover, however after 5 years within the mercenary and adventurer enterprise, I can decide up on these items.

This noblewoman introduced me as a trophy, however she does not look down on me. She desires to point out me off with out belittling others. She treats me purely as an exhibit to show, not as a solution to put others down.

She’s not like these obnoxious varieties flaunting luxurious items on social media with a “You might by no means afford this” angle. Relatively, she’s like somebody sharing stunning surroundings photographs to unfold pleasure.

It is useful that the particular person paying to pull me round is respectable. It is really advantageous if she’s not some bitchy younger miss straight out of a novel, treating folks like objects simply because she paid.

“Oh my, is that this gentleman the one who…?”

“Sure, he is the one who protected our family’s servants.”

As I contemplated this, docilely providing my arm whereas being led round, a bunch of noble younger girls flocked over.

The candy scent of powder and fragrance from these well-groomed girls tickled my nostril, a far cry from the bitter stench of these dwelling in poverty. Flawless pale pores and skin, waists cinched tight in corsets, luxuriant hair styled elaborately.

Whereas the poor dwell like animals in squalid hovels, rich nobles use magical instruments for grooming, making a stark distinction. As I discreetly rolled my eyes, the dialog flowed on with out me.

Quickly, hungry wandering orcs grew to become evil military commanders main terrifying hordes. The troll that charged in on the scent of blood grew to become an incredible demon descended upon the mortal realm. And I, who protected the household’s carriage, grew to become the protagonist of an epic story bestowed by the Goddess.

‘…Is that this as a result of they lack leisure?’

The exaggeration is absurd regardless of the way you take a look at it. This embellished story does not simply gild me – it is like pouring a complete gold vault over my face.

The hand patting her thigh moved upwards, slipping inside her négligée to caress her gentle, toned stomach. My different hand savored the silky cloth because it snaked round to assist her again and shoulder.

As I gently fondled the gentle feminine kind now actually in my arms, the noble younger girl’s respiration grew more and more ragged.

“…Huu, it is simply… one evening’s reminiscence anyway.”

Her chatter continued, maybe to ease her nerves. She paid no thoughts to her hiccupping or the gasps that escaped once I firmly pressed her gentle stomach.

However because of her lovely rambling, the awkwardness shortly pale. She did not appear to need my replies as she prattled on about herself, and I may reply completely to her chatter with only a slight smile.

The second daughter of a rely’s household, a caring father and strict mom, a close-knit clique of younger girls, the noblewoman who taught etiquette, and a risqué development spreading secretly among the many girls of excessive society…

“A development?”

“Properly, initially… it was with servants or knights from different homes…”

What adopted was fairly lecherous, but attention-grabbing.

In a world the place it is an open secret for male nobles to maintain mistresses or lovers, feminine nobles additionally search companions to share lonely nights. Due to this, some {couples} omit vows of loving solely one another when making political marriages, to keep away from mendacity earlier than the Goddess.

However even an open secret remains to be a secret. Not like males who overtly hold lovers, noblewomen participating in nocturnal trysts should guard their secrets and techniques much more intently. In a world the place even orphans lack fundamental human rights, how may there be gender equality?

“Do they organize this too?”

“It is… a part of our training. A type of intercourse ed…”

Servants keep within the mansion, so contact is just too frequent. Knights usually deal with an evening with a noble girl as a trophy to boast about. So the answer that appeared earlier than the fearful noblewomen was me, Roland.

My appears had been clearly passable, and investigating the adventurer group confirmed I might by no means deserted a comrade, suggesting and trustworthy nature. Not like servants, I would not be staying in a noble home, and as an adventurer, I am not ready to unfold rumors in excessive society.

Really, in each sense, a person to present one candy evening’s dream earlier than vanishing to the 4 corners of the continent. That have to be why I am right here.

Now I knew what was desired, and why I had been chosen. All that remained was a pure white virgin, flushed with arousal from my playful touches. I began to tear off the cumbersome négligée, then gently eliminated it as a substitute, cautious of marking that delicate pores and skin.

For one evening of romance, ever so tenderly.
