R-18 Chapter here

When the Royal Army returned to the capital, they were greeted with a huge cheer from the people.

Not only had they defeated their long-time nemesis, the forces of the Demon Empire, head-on, but they had also raided and conquered the enemy's capital, the Imperial Capital. On the contrary, there was almost no damage to our army, and everyone could see that it was an overwhelming victory. It was no wonder the people were happy.

Especially when Alec showed up on his horse, there was a lot of cheering, almost to the point of deafness, and Alec looked as if he was not happy at all.

When we returned to the palace, we naturally had an audience with the king right away.

※

The commanders were summoned to the audience hall in the name of honoring their achievements this time, but their expressions were dark.

It was true that they had defeated the forces of the Demon Empire, but the Emperor, who had been their main prey, had escaped at the last minute, and the enemy, instead of surrendering out of fear, had further solidified their unity and even set up a group called the Northern Alliance. This could hardly be called a complete victory.

Incidentally, the news that the Emperor had escaped had not reached the people. The reason is that if we were to honestly tell the people that the Emperor had escaped even though we had taken the trouble to occupy the Imperial Capital, the credibility of the kingdom's army would fall to the ground.

While thinking about this, I arrived at the audience hall and waited for a while before the king appeared. The king had a stern look on his face, as if he was troubled about something, which made the nobles tense.

「First of all, I am glad that we have won this battle. Thanks to your efforts, the long battle against the Demon Empire is finally coming to an end.」

The king said this with an expression that did not look happy at all. The first thing he said was to congratulate us on our victory, so I guess he was going to raise us up and then drop us. There seemed to be other people besides me who were expecting this, and the expressions of the nobles who heard the king speech were twitching.

However, before he could talk about the bad news, we had to receive a reward for our achievements. Seeing that some of the representatives stepped forward to receive the list of rewards, I guessed that they would not be handing over the small rewards on this occasion, but would hand them over later.

「Now then, it has been reported that when you captured the Imperial Capital, you captured the Emperor of the Demon Empire and put him in jail, but he was allowed to escape, is this true?」

The nobles froze at the king's words. Although they knew that they were going to be confronted with this blunder, there was no excuse since he had actually escaped. In particular, my disciples are cooperating in the escape of Emperor, and If the king hears about this, he may charge me with treason for my oversight.

「In the north of the demon empire, there are still nobles who have not yet surrendered, but we have destroyed the main force of the Demon Empire and are holding the Imperial Capital. The difference in strength between our two sides is obvious, and we are on the verge of complete victory. This achievement is not an ordinary one, and it is more than enough to offset the blunder. Therefore, this matter will not be questioned.」

I was thinking that the king will sending them all to their deaths if necessary, but it seems that the king will not pursue the matter of the Emperor, contrary to my intentions.

The nobles who were participating in the army breathed a sigh of relief at the king's decision, but the nobles who were not participating would not be satisfied with such a lenient response. Now is the perfect time to hang their political enemies.

「Your Majesty! We can't show the other nobles such a lenient response!」

「No matter what excuses they make, you can't pretend that this never happened.」

「Achievement and blunder are two different things, and I think it would be wise to punish them severely!」

The nobles of the civil service are advising the king one after another, as if to say that this is an opportunity. The reason why they are desperately denouncing this blunder is simple. They are probably afraid that if the king is right, the power of the armed forces who participated in the invasion will increase.

But the king seemed to have anticipated that reaction and let out a light sigh after hearing what they had to say.

「Fumu.......So you would not have missed the Emperor's escape, would you?」

「Ehh? Y-Yes! You are absolutely right!」

「According to the report, that the dungeon where the Emperor was kept was certainly locked and no hidden passages could be found inside, and the only entrance and exit was guarded at all times except during the changeover. Of course, there were many soldiers inside the castle, and there must have been many people under the castle as well. You are really saying that you could have caught the Emperor who escaped unnoticed under these circumstances?」

「Wha!? No, that's......」

The nobles, who had been vigorously denouncing the Emperor's escape, were at a loss for words when they heard the king's words.

They probably thought he had escaped because of the negligence of the guards, but they probably didn't expect that they had such a strong security system. It was no surprise that their reaction was instantaneous and they fell silent.

「Perhaps the Emperor had escaped with outside help, but it would be impossible for any of us to be alerted to a situation that none of us could have imagined. That's why I'm not going to question this matter. Those of you who are still unconvinced by this can make a request.」

The nobles had been so annoyed earlier, but after listening to the king, naturally not a single one of them raised any objections. Seeing this, the king nodded once in satisfaction.

Thanks to the fact that the civil servants had lost their initial momentum, there were no unnecessary complications, and the rest of the day proceeded smoothly, and in the evening, I was able to return to my residence with all my business finished.

※

「Yard! I've missed you!」

When I returned to the mansion after meeting up with Olympia and the others, Natalia, who had been waiting for my return, jumped out and rushed at me with unrestrained vigor. She seemed to be oblivious to her surroundings. I managed to support her so she wouldn't fall, and pulled her into the mansion, where she was still attached to me, rubbing our faces together.

「Welcome back, Yard-sama.」

Inside, Sophie, accompanied by Tia and the other servants, greeted me with a smile. She smiled happily as she pulled Natalia, who was clinging to my waist, away from me and kissed her for the first time in a long time.

「It's been a long time, Sophie. Did you notice anything unusual while I was away?」

「There was nothing unusual here. By the way, ......」

「Hey, Yard! What are these women!?」

「Um, ...... is this person an acquaintance of Yard-sama?」

Natalia's voice interrupted Sophie and I turned around to see that she was gunning for Melvina and the others.

Even though I hadn't done anything to provoke her anger, Melvina and the others were staring at the elf who had suddenly appeared, giving me a troubled look and flicking me a look for help.

I didn't want them arguing in a place like this, so I intervened and interceded.

「Ahh, the girls had taken care of me a bit while I was in the Imperial Capital. Since they lost their home when the imperial capital was occupied, I decided to hire them at the mansion from now on.」

「My name is Melvina. This is my eldest daughter, Celia, and my second daughter, Claire.」

Melvina introduced her daughters, and Celia and Clair bowed. They were dressed in maid uniforms from the Olympia mansion, so to the casual observer, they must have looked like servants working with their parents.

But Natalia didn't seem to be convinced by the current explanation, and pouring her skeptical gaze on them, she took my arm and pulled me away from them.

「Hey, Yard. They look very pretty, but you've been messing with them again, haven't you?」

「Well, wait a minute. It's true that if I'm going to have a woman in my arms, I might as well have a beautiful one, but that doesn't mean you should assume that I'm messing around with beautiful women.」

「I also believe in the Yard's strenght, but I don't trust you when it comes to women.」

I tried to divert the conversation for the time being, but when she replied so frankly, there was nothing I could do. And since it was true that I had hugged Melvina and her daughters, I had no excuse.

「Sophie, I see that the Yard has brought another woman.」

「Well, I have a lot of things to say, but I'm sure Yard-sama tired from your long journey. I think it's not too late for you to get some rest, don't you?」

「...... Well, if that's what Sophie says, then I understand. I'm not convinced though ......」

When Natalia spoke to Sophie, she told her in a roundabout way that it would be better to stop arguing about Melvina and the others here.

It seemed that Natalia understood this, and although she looked unhappy, she reluctantly let go of my arm and stopped pursuing the matter further.

「I will treat Melvina-sama and the others as guests for now. I don't know if I'll hire them as servants or not, but I can't just throw out a woman who has been favored by Yard-sama without a fight.」

「I'm sorry, I didn't realize that you would even prepare a room for me even though I came in unexpectedly. ......」

「No, it is only natural for a proper wife to entertain guests brought by her husband.」

Sophie told Melvina and the others, and then called the maid to show them to the guest room. The fact that I have already embraced them is treated as a definite matter, and the fact that she tell the newcomer that she is my wife to keep her in check is done very casually.

「Now, Yard-sama, you must be very tired to have an audience so soon after returning from your expedition. Why don't we discuss the girls tomorrow and take the rest of the day off?」

「Yeah, I'll do that.」

Indeed, Sophie is right, I'm tired from the long trip. And since there were no baths in the Imperial Capital, I hadn't been able to soak in hot water for a while now. Now that I was finally able to come back to the capital, I thought I'd take a bath to relax and rest my body.

So I headed for the bath, getting excited about my first bath in a while, and found Tia in the changing room. I feel like I've been in a situation like this before.

「Master, I've brought you a change of clothes.」

「Oh, I'm sorry. Oh, and please come with me for a while.」

I stopped Tia who was about to leave with my clothes. She may have other work to do, but I felt it would be sad to meet her after a long time without any particular conversation.

「Oh, no, I mean ......」

「I'm not forcing you, but how about we took bath together?」

「...... Yes, I understand.」

She seemed flustered by my words, but perhaps because I had asked her out in a similar fashion before, there was a part of her that was expecting it, and with only a slight hesitation, she agreed to my request.

Her appearance of taking off her clothes while feeling ashamed of my gaze was fascinating. Her skin in particular, despite the fact that she must not have much time to take care of it due to her daily work as a maid, maintained a girlish freshness that made me want to stroke it.

「Um, Master, I feel embarrassed when you stare at me like that. ......」

「I'm a man, too. It is inevitable that I will have my eyes on a beautiful woman.」

「Y-Yes,......, thank you very much.」

When she heard my words, she turned her head down, her face flushed red, which I couldn't imagine from her usual calm demeanor. I could see her happy expression in the moment she looked down, so it wasn't that she was in a bad mood. My words had come out without any particular conscious thought, but she seemed to have taken them as a compliment.

Normally, she would raise her head immediately, but today she kept her head down, as if she was too embarrassed. It might take her a little longer to return to her normal state.

I don't have any particular business to attend to, so I could just sit here and watch her naked body, but since I took off my clothes first, my body is getting cold.

I had no choice but to hurry her, who was frozen, and get into the bath as quickly as possible.

※

「Master, how does this feel?」

Tia called out to me from behind me, sounding a little anxious, but she was washing my body with just the right amount of force, so I had no complaints. Rather, as she washes my front, I'm in a position where I'm pressing my body against her, and the feeling of her soft big tits crushing and changing shape on my back is very comfortable.

And since she was washing my body with her bare hands, her fingers were crawling over my skin with a delicate touch, giving me a pleasant sensation as if I was being caressed.

I had banned the use of towels in the bathroom after someone had dipped a towel directly into the bathtub after washing up. It was a happy miscalculation.

She was probably just washing my body in earnest, and not feeling particularly lewd, but a beautiful woman with her good looks and style was doing this for me. What man wouldn't react to this?

Without knowing what I was thinking, her hand that was washing from the top went down to the lower part of my body, and finally her hand hit my thing.

「Oh, this is ......」

She seemed to have finally realized what the situation looked like from the side when she touched it, which was already standing hard.

But I ignored her gaze. I wanted to see how she would react in the current situation, since she was relatively unassertive among the many proactive residents of the house.

She waited for a while for me to say something, but when she saw that I didn't say anything, she started washing my body again as if nothing had happened. She didn't seem to ignore it completely, however, and when she washed my cock, she focused more on it than on other parts of my body. She seemed to have a surprisingly plump side.

「Master, I'm done.」

「Oh, then sit down there. I'll wash you this time.」

「Ah, no, I can't have my master wash me. ......」

She seemed to be uncomfortable with the idea of having her master wash her, but when I half forced her to sit down and held her shoulders to prevent her from getting up, she immediately stopped resisting and became quiet. Then, let's get started to wash her body.

「Nnghh......fuhh.....」

Whenever I touched her skin, she made a distressed sound and wiggled her body. It's not that I'm touching her for any particular purpose, but it looks like she's trying to get me to do it.

As soon as I pressed my erect penis against her back to test it, she covered her mouth, so it was not intentional, but her reaction sparked my torment.

When I lightly stroked her skin to make her impatient and avoided touching her sensitive parts, she was initially satisfied with just the pleasure of having her skin stroked, but gradually became impatient as she realized that I was deliberately removing it.

But when I had finished washing most of her body, I stopped caressing her, let the bubbles run off, and went to soak in the bathtub, ignoring her obviously unsatisfied look on her face.

「Master, umm ......」

「What's the matter? You came to the bath, so it's only natural that you soak in the hot water, right?」

Pretending not to notice that she was trying to say something, I pulled her into the bathtub and held her from behind.

My cock was resting against her buttocks, and it was obvious to her that I was getting excited. As I pulled her into my arms, she looked happier than usual, perhaps in anticipation of what was to come.

First, I rubbed her breasts to meet her expectations, and her skin was so absorbent and fresh that my fingers sank into it as if they were going to wrap around my hand.

「Haah ...... nnghh ......」

Tia's breasts are large and sensitive, and even when I rubbed them lightly, she seemed to savor the feel of my hands as she let out a wistful breath. In addition to this, her skin, which was wet from the hot water, enhanced her glamorous atmosphere.

Perhaps the warmth of the tub and the pleasure of her breasts being squeezed had loosened her up a bit, but she put her own hand on top of my hand and tried to lead my hand to the top of her twin hills as if she wanted me to touch her.

But I decided not to live up to her expectations here. Instead, I stroked her skin with a slow hand and rubbed her breasts only lightly, to hurry her up a bit as she was looking for more pleasure.

She didn't seem to notice my intentions, and for a while she seemed to be satisfied with just light caresses that avoided her sensitive parts, but after a few times of unguiding her, I noticed that she was getting impatient.

Her body was begging for more stimulation, but I didn't give it, and when she tried to comfort herself, I blocked her attempts, and I could see that she was getting less and less comfortable. Still, I didn't try to show her any mercy, and I kept pushing her to the limit until she finally gave up.

「Master, ...... if you make me any more impatient, I'm already ......」

Tia, her eyes moist with tears and cheeks on fire with excitement, looked back at me and pleaded with me, as if she couldn't take any more. Her face is so close that I can see every single eyelash, and the way she flirts with me as if she is being played with and seeking more stimulation, stimulates my male instincts.

「If you want my mercy, I think you should have something to say first?」

「Ahh. ...... Master, please discipline me again with your hot cock, as I've been in heat and can't stop my body from tingling.. ......」

As if her own words had made her even more aroused, Tia turned her lustful eyes on me as she rubbed mine on her buttocks. I hadn't touched her in a long time, and I was losing my patience, so I decided to stop hurrying her.

I lifted her body up a little so that my object was touching her crack. This would allow me to penetrate her vagina in a single stroke if she lowered her hips.

But as she said she wanted me to re-discipline her, she didn't lower her hips and looked at me pleadingly, as if she wanted me to give her the first thrust.

I guess I can't help it, but I guess it's a man's duty to listen to his woman's selfishness at least a little.

「Let's get started, Tia.」

「Yes, anytime, as master wishes.」

As soon as she finished her words, I thrust my hips up and penetrated her vagina with my hard, razor-sharp rod in one stroke.

「Nnghhh, Nnhgggmmmmuuuuu!」

Her insides were already soaking wet, and without any resistance, my cock sliced through her vaginal flesh to reach her womb, and I could feel her cervix against the tip.

She was holding her mouth to keep from screaming from the pleasure of the insertion, but even so, the pleasure of being plunged deep inside her seemed to shock her beyond her expectations, and her voice leaked out of her closed mouth and echoed throughout the bathroom.

When I moved my cock inside her, her vagina sucked mine tightly into her lower mouth as if it was entwined with hers, but it didn't prevent me from inserting it, and it felt as if she was moving in time with my movements.

「It's been a long time since I've been inside you, but it looks like the condition inside hasn't　diminished a bit.」

「Aahhh, thank you very much, nnghhh!」

At first it was just me shaking my hips, but gradually she started shaking her own hips and rubbing mine against the good parts, as if she was devouring the pleasure.

I didn't think she was particularly dissatisfied, as she usually didn't show much emotion on her face, but I hadn't held her in a while due to the recent mess with the Demon Empire, so she might have been hungry for pleasure. It seems that the other women need to increase their skinship with me.

「Even so, these breasts are first-rate. There's hardly anyone who can match them in size alone. ......」

「Aahnnn! You can't pull on my nipples that much, haaaahnnnn!」

When I plucked her hardened nipple and pulled it, it stretched in an interesting way. I've always preferred women with large breasts. Tia's breasts are the best, especially when they are soft and yet retain their shape without sagging.

I wondered if she was getting any pleasure from being played with like this, or if she was just too busy shaking her hips to stop me from playing with her breasts.

「Aaaaahhhh! Master, if you do that to me, I'm gonna...!」

「What, you're about to cum? It can't be helped.」

「I'm so sorr-Aahhh! I-Im gonna cuuuuuuuuuummmm!」

She seemed to reach her limit surprisingly quickly, and climaxed with a twithing, shaking her body as she tightened her hold on me. As her body bounced, her vaginal hole tightened to match her movements, stimulating my cock to ejaculate.

After the long climax, she leaned back against me, as if her body was not strong enough, and I held her in my arms and soaked her in the hot water for a while until her condition returned to normal.

「I'm sorry, Master. I was the only one who came before you. ......」

「Don't worry about it, there's still time. And I haven't had a chance to enjoy your body yet either.」

「Yes, I will do my best to live up to Master's expectations.」

Then Tia, who was still connected to me, was about to start moving again, but as if she suddenly remembered something, she stopped moving, looked back at me and gave me a flirtatious glance.

「Um, master. I'd like to ask you for one thing. ......」

「What is it?」

「This time, I would like to serve you while looking at your master's face. ...... Can't I?」

Her eyes were a little frightened, and I could see through them that she was worried about what would happen if she was rejected. I feel that she is being a little too self-deprecating to be afraid of being rejected at this point in time, but I think it's good that she has such a timid side to her.

「Did you really think I would refuse your request now? Look at me.」

「Oh, okay!」

She replied happily to my words, and once she raised her waist, she sat down again to face me. Her breasts are crushed by my body when we face each other like this, but the feeling of her breast rubbing against my body, flexibly changing their shape every time I move a little, is feels good.

As my cock, which still maintained its hardness, entered her vaginal hole, the hot vaginal meat wrapped around my cock and softly tightened it. I wondered if her climax had made her feel even better inside.

「Haaahh.........Yard-sama cock, It's so hard, so big, so magnificent. ......」

She slowly swung her hips as if to check the shape of my cock, and then she put her mouth to my ear and whispered in a sweet, debauched voice. I felt her breath against my ear, and a thrill of pleasure escaped from my ear to my brain.

Unable to resist the sensation, I held her body tightly and began to shake my hips violently. It was good to be passive, but it was better to be on the offensive when embracing a woman.

「Aahnnn! Th-That's too intense!」

「Tia, please look at me.」

「Yes, nnhghhh!? Mmm......」

The moment Tia's face was in front of me, I took her lips and twisted my tongue into hers. She was startled for a moment by the suddenness of the situation, but she quickly grasped the situation and put her arms around my back to keep me close.

When we hugged like this in the hot water, the boundaries between our bodies seemed to become blurred and ambiguous, and I felt more mentally excited and satisfied than usual.

「Nnguhh.......fuhhh.......」

Tia also meditates and mixes our saliva together, immersing herself in twirling and rubbing her tongue against mine. Of course, I didn't stop shaking my hips, in fact, my movements were more intense than before due to the added excitement of the kiss.

She was shaking her hips like she wanted my semen so badly, and I was shaking my hips as hard as I could to push up her womb and taste her vagina.

But even after a short pause, I knew I was getting close to ejaculating, as I had been attacking her in the same way earlier.

「Tia, it's time for me to cum!」

「Yes, please fill my insides with Master's semen!」

「Ahhh, I'm going to fill you up! Kkuhhhhh!」

I gave her a last spurt before ejaculating and roughly poked her vaginal hole, but I reached my limit when I hit the deepest part of her vagina, so as expected, I sprayed her full of semen.

「!! Haaaahnnnnnnn! I'm cumming again, aahh, aaahhhhhhhhhH!」」

She seemed to have climaxed at the same time I did. Her vagina began to peristaltic violently as if to squeeze all of my semen out of her, and I was surprised at how much came out. Her womb pulled up to try to hold my semen inside, but it couldn't hold all of it, and the semen came pouring out.

She went limp again and leaned against me. I hugged her, and she rubbed her cheeks against me, making a happy voice. She seemed to be spoiled by the afterglow of her climax.

「It's been a long time since I've been able to feel master's things. ...... I'm so happy. ......」

「Yeah, I'm happy I got to hold you for the first time in a long time too.」

As she clung to me in a sweet way, I decided to hug her and enjoy the atmosphere after the sex for a while. The semen that had overflowed from inside her was now in the hot water, so I would have to reheat the water later, but I was in no hurry to do that.

Then I suddenly felt someone's eyes on me and looked towards the entrance, only to see the slightly open door closed. Thinking about it, it would not be surprising if the servants came to take a bath at this time. Perhaps one of them was peeping at us.

When I looked at Tia's face, she seemed to understand that we had just been watched.

「Tia, it seems that someone from the mansion has seen us?」

「It's fine. I'm honored to receive Master's favor, so it's not like I care what other people think of me.」

「Very well, then.」

I expected Tia to be a bit more shy, but she didn't seem to be particularly bothered by the current situation, so I decided to rest my body slowly while enjoying her softness a bit more.
