The Abandoned Prince Heals an Enemy Soldier on the Frontlines, Only to Discover She’s the Seventh Imperial Princess - Chapter 60: The Abandoned Prince, Offering Comfort

Chapter 60: The Abandoned Prince, Offering Comfort

“S-Sorry, Reyshel. I’m really sorry. There was aphrodisiac in the drink, and I just… couldn’t stop myself…”

“This kind of thing happened before too, didn’t it…”

I glanced over at Alcarion—her skin was practically glowing.

She gave me a peace sign with her usual blank face.

You totally did that on purpose, didn’t you, Alcarion.

And right on cue, Alcarion offered a defense.

A surprisingly solid one.

“The aphrodisiac I gave Rosemary wears off in less than a day. She’s been completely sober ever since the first day.”

Gulp.

“S-So anyway, Reyshel!! Everyone’s been wanting to see you!! You should go say hi!!”

“…That was the most obvious subject change I’ve ever heard.”

“Well… I mean, it did feel good, so I’m not really mad or anything.”

After all, I’d spent a full month wrapped up in the arms of Alcarion and Rosemary.

But yeah… I probably should check in with everyone else too.

“Oh—start with Salion, please.”

“Eh? Salion?”

“Yes. She was there when you were taken. It seems she’s been blaming himself more than necessary ever since.”

“…Got it.”

I felt a little guilty.

While I’d been off on another continent, having the time of my life with all kinds of girls…

Salion had probably been losing her mind with worry.

After getting directions from Alcarion, I made my way to Salion’s room in the castle.

“Salio—”

“HnngghhooooOOOOHHHH ♡♡♡♡”

When I stepped into her room…

Salion was straddling a wooden horse in the most indecent position imaginable.

Her hands and feet were chained, a blindfold covered her eyes, and a gag was strapped around her mouth.

Her whole body was twitching violently.

No one else was in the room.

She was doing all of this… to herself.

I quietly closed the door.

But even through the door, her moans echoed out.

…This wasn’t the kind of “mentally crushed” I was expecting!!

Had she awakened to this kind of thing while I was gone!?

No, actually—Salion always did seem like the type who liked being dominated…

But I didn’t realize she’d taken it this far while I wasn’t around.

And just then—

“Oh my, Reyshel. What brings you here?”

“Huh? Ah—Violetta!!”

I turned around at the voice, only to see Alcarion’s eldest daughter, Violetta, standing there.

Still rocking that massive chest, as always.

Maybe she caught on to what I was thinking, because the next thing I knew—

Violetta pulled me into a tight hug and buried my face right between her breasts.

“Oof.”

“My, my~ That won’t do, Reyshel♡ You can’t speak so formally to your big sister after all this time apart~ That’s a no-no♡”

“B-Big sis…”

“Ufufu. I let Rosemary and Mother have you for a whole month, so it’s okay if I steal a little time now, right?”

Violetta licked her lips playfully.

And like that, the two of us ended up devouring each other’s bodies right there in the hallway.

Once we’d finished and finally calmed down, I brought up the situation with Salion.

“Oh dear… So Grandma got caught in the act, huh? I was the one who taught her that little stress relief technique.”

“…Wait, what!?”

“Ufufufu. When you’re feeling lonely, just imagine an imaginary Reyshel—and let him go wild on you to make you feel better♡”

Imaginary me, huh…

“…Hmph.”

“My, what’s with the pouty face?”

“Well… I mean, I’m happy she was thinking of me and all… But if it’s gonna make her feel good, I’d rather actually be the one doing it…”

“…Ufufu. Oh, Reyshel. Then you’d better give Grandma a little punishment, don’t you think?♡”

Smiling sweetly, Violetta handed me something.

A whip.

The kind used for light S&M play—it didn’t hurt much even when you hit with it.

“Now then~ go give Grandma her punishment~!”

At Violetta’s suggestion, I gave a little punishment to Salion, who was still writhing on the wooden horse.

I always thought I leaned more toward the submissive side, but maybe I had a hidden talent for this too.

Somewhere along the way, I really got into it… and ended up teasing her a lot more than I planned.

After we were done with everything, I gently unchained Salion.

“Uuu… Reyshel, I’m so glad you’re safe!! Snnnfff, haaah~ That scent… I’ve missed your smell so much, it’s driving me wild…”

“Haha… that tickles, Salion.”

After our S&M session, we just cuddled up and enjoyed the moment—reuniting like normal people for once.

After that, I went around to visit Nayuta, Clyne, and Yelona—

A string of warm reunions… and, well, plenty of fun too.

And finally, I went to see Olivia—Hecton’s mother, and my father’s concubine.

But…

“…”

“…”

She was standing in silence before the underground prison where Hek—or rather, the person who abducted me—was being held.

They just stood there, staring at each other quietly.

I was about to call out to them—

But I ended up overhearing their conversation.

“…You’re Hecton, aren’t you?”

“…”

“Hecton… I—”

“You’re not my mother anymore.”

“…Hecton…”

Olivia had just called Hek… Hecton.

…Wait, what? No seriously—what!? Hek is… Hecton!?

“After betraying me, now you show up acting like a mother? Trying to pretend you care?”

“I… I just—”

“Get lost!! You filthy whore!!”

That harsh, venomous voice came from… Hecton?

Hearing it, Olivia looked utterly crushed.

She opened her mouth like she wanted to say something—

But in the end, she said nothing and walked away from the cell.

Naturally, she bumped right into me at the entrance to the underground prison.

Tears were welling up in her eyes.

…I was still reeling from the shock—seriously, Hek is Hecton!?

My brain could barely keep up with that one.

“L-Lord Reyshel…”

“…I don’t know what’s going on yet, but I do know this—No one makes my woman cry and gets away with it. I’m at least gonna give him a piece of my mind—”

“It’s alright. It’s true—I did betray that child.”

“But still—”

“Really. It’s fine. Let’s go.”

“…Okay.”

I followed behind Olivia, keeping an eye on her as we walked.

What was I even supposed to do in a moment like this?

“…Olivia.”

“Yes, Lord Reyshel?”

“Um, so—uh, sex!!”

“…Eh?”

“When you’ve had a bad day, the best thing to do is just have sex and forget everything!! Let’s empty your head for a while!!”

“I-I’m not really in the mood—eek ♡”

“I’m not taking no for an answer!!”

I brought Olivia back to her room—and loved her passionately.

I poured everything into her, so much that she wouldn’t have time to dwell on anything else.

When it was all over, Olivia looked… refreshed, somehow.

“Thank you, Lord Reyshel. I feel much better now.”

“…You’re my woman, Olivia. No matter what happens, I’ll always be on your side—and I’ll never let you go.”

“Ahh ♡ Lord Reyshel…”

Her cheeks flushed red.

She looked so cute I ended up spending nearly the entire day wrapped up in bed with her.

“hah ♡ hah ♡ hah ♡ …Lord Reyshel, may I ask one thing?”

After one last round, she sat up, wearing a serious expression—like she’d made up her mind about something.

I wondered what Olivia was about to ask…
