The Abandoned Prince Heals an Enemy Soldier on the Frontlines, Only to Discover She’s the Seventh Imperial Princess - Chapter 57: The Abandoned Prince Avoids Getting Eaten

Chapter 57: The Abandoned Prince Avoids Getting Eaten

“You guys look delicious. Slurp.”

Her orange hair shone like the sun, and her sharp, jagged teeth made her look like a carnivorous beast.

Those wide-open golden eyes triggered a deep, primal fear.

She wasn’t like Rosemary or Alcarion—those two had a kind of… sensual hunger.

This girl? This was plain, raw appetite.

“Big sis!! Can I eat them!?”

“Nooope~ These people aren’t food, remember~? And before anything else, when meeting someone for the first time, you’ve got to introduce yourself properly~”

“Gyahahaha!! Right!! I forgot!! I’m Touka!! I love tasty stuff!! I don’t hate anything!! Big sis!! I introduced myself—praise me!!”

“Good girl~ Very good~”

So the sixth princess’s name was apparently Touka.

Sure, the way she clung to Ailynn was cute. And yeah, that huge chest was definitely eye-catching…

But still—fear won out.

And I wasn’t the only one.

Everyone on the ship instinctively backed away from Touka.

“So Touka, what were you doing all the way out here~?”

“I was eating lunch!! That sea serpent’s meat was tough, but it had a nice chew to it!! Wanna try some, Big sis!?”

“That wasn’t a sea serpent, it was a Leviathan~. But hey, we were short on food anyway, so maybe we’ll bring some with us.”

“Then I’ll carve it up!!”

With that, Touka leapt off the deck and started dismantling the Leviathan’s body.

“Rough and ready” didn’t even begin to describe it.

Her arms morphed into thorny tentacles and began slicing through the Leviathan like it was nothing.

Just so we’re clear—Leviathan scales are way tougher than wyvern scales.

Normal magic doesn’t even scratch them. You can’t just hack away at them casually.

And yet… what were those arms!?

“Surprising, huh~?”

“Eh? Ah, y-yeah… Um… Touka, what exactly is she? I mean, uh…”

“Scared?”

“…I kinda hate to say it, but yeah.”

There was something… off about Touka.

I couldn’t quite describe it, but just being near her gave off this deeply unsettling vibe—like she was something that shouldn’t exist.

“Touka is what’s called an Origin Chimera—basically, an artificially created copy of Mom.”

“…Wait. You mean… Alcarion?”

“Yup. Mom’s sixth spouse—well, wife, I guess, since she was a woman—was this mad scientist with a few screws loose. She used alchemy to recreate Mom’s genetic info and made Touka.”

Wait a second—by biological data, did she mean genes?

No, hang on. There’s something even more important here!

“Did you just say… Alcarion had a wife!?”

“Huh? Didn’t I mention that? Yeah, Mom’s sixth spouse was a woman~”

Hold on, hold on.

Even I couldn’t process that right away.

Alcarion… swings both ways!?

That was a side of my wife I definitely hadn’t seen before.

“Anyway, getting back to the point—Touka was artificially created, but at her core, she’s basically the same as Mom. Because of that, though, her body needs an insane amount of energy just to stay alive.”

Ailynn’s explanation was starting to get complicated.

Apparently, Alcarion—or rather, the heart of a pure dragon—can generate enough energy with a single beat to power an entire city.

Touka doesn’t have that kind of heart.

But her body is almost identical to Alcarion’s, meaning it still needs that same massive amount of energy to function.

“So, the crazy woman who made her gave Touka the ability to convert anything she eats into energy—and as a bonus, she can also absorb the biological data of what she eats.”

“…Put that in simple terms?”

“The more she eats, the stronger she gets. And she can steal abilities from whoever she eats.”

That’s totally a cheat skill!!

“So yeah, just… be careful, okay?”

“Huh?”

“Just saying—if Touka finds out what kind of power you’ve got, there’s a decent chance she’ll try to eat you. Literally~”

“…You’re serious?”

She was probably talking about my power—Perfect Regeneration.

Wait—could she really absorb even that cheat skill the big-boobed goddess gave me!?

“G-Got it. I’ll be careful.”

And so, I decided to keep my guard up around Touka for the time being.

Then came that night.

“Hey. You.”

“Nngh…”

“…Hey. Wake up.”

I was sleeping in my cabin bed when I suddenly felt something heavy on my stomach.

As I blinked awake from the shaking, I opened my eyes—

Touka’s face was right in front of mine.

And just so we’re clear—those ridiculously big boobs of hers were pressing against me in a way no small body should’ve been capable of.

“U-Um… what exactly is going on here…?”

“I heard you’ve got some amazing power!! I’m gonna eat you now!!”

“!?”

“If you fight back, I’ll break your arms and legs. Don’t worry—you’ll live on inside me!!”

H-HUUUH!? Wha—what!?

“L-Let’s calm down for a second! Who told you I had amazing power!?”

“Some girl with a smell kinda like yours!!”

“Wait, who!? There’s someone like that!?”

“There is. The silver-haired girl you were with. She wore a maid outfit.”

“…Wait—do you mean Hek?”

She said Hek smelled like me…?

No way. That can’t be right. But I didn’t have any proof to say it wasn’t possible, either.

“Wait… is Hek… my sister or something!?”

As far as I knew, my only sibling was Hecton.

But thinking about it calmly—wasn’t it weird for royalty to only have two children?

One possibility made way too much sense:

Maybe Hek is a secret child left behind by the former King of Agarham—my father.

If that’s true, then it would also explain why my faithful sword never reacted to her.

Because… we’d be siblings!!

Still, if that’s the case, why did Hek try to kill me back then?

And even now, she’s the reason Touka found out about my power.

Could it be… someone tricked her?

I didn’t know.

And I didn’t have time to think about it now!

Right now, I had to survive this situation!!

“L-Let’s calm down!! Can we not go with the ‘eating me’ plan!?”

“Don’t you ever feel like eating something new when it’s right in front of you?”

“No, I do not!!”

“Don’t be picky! You never know until you try it! Just be like me and eat first!!”

Touka opened her mouth wide, ready to chomp down.

“W-Wait!! Stop! Don’t eat me!! I’ll give you blood! You can drink my blood!!”

“Blood? Not enough!! I want a body part bursting with life! A heart! Or brain! Oh—liver is packed with nutrients too!!”

“I don’t want to give you any of those!!”

What do I do!?

How do I get out of this!?

I had to offer her some part of me that was full of life—something she could accept.

Ideally… something that wouldn’t hurt too much…

“…”

“You’re not resisting… does that mean I can eat you!?”

“Full of life, huh…? How about this?”

My faithful sword had grown noticeably larger.

And can you blame it?

When a pair of massive breasts are pressing down on you, this is just how the male body reacts!

But more importantly—

My faithful sword held millions of life force packed inside.

After all the intense battles with the succubi, it had been trained to the limit.

It could now generate endless life energy.

With this… it might work!!

And so, to avoid being eaten physically, I offered myself to be eaten sexually instead.
