When I Infiltrated the Enemy Nation as a Slave, the Yandere Beauties There Started a Civil War Over Me - Chapter 29: The Most Important

Chapter 29: The Most Important

“Well then, both of you… Thank you so much for a delightful time today. If the opportunity arises again, I look forward to it.”

“Yes, see you next time.”

As the dinner ended, this exchange took place in front of the carriage waiting at the Cecifelia estate. Celestine smiled at me briefly before stepping into the carriage and leaving the mansion.

Because Cecifelia had been glancing at me throughout the meal, I wanted to get away from the situation as quickly as possible. I turned my back to her and spoke.

“Well then, I’ll go clean the hallway now, so please, take your time and relax—”

“Wait.”

Interrupting my words with a dark tone, Cecifelia grabbed my wrist and said,

“I have some things I want to ask you, Luke. Come with me now.”

“Uh… where exactly?”

“─Bedroom.”

Hearing that made me break into a nervous sweat, and I responded,

“Uh… the bedroom? But it’s still daytime.”

“Yes, but depending on the situation, we might end up using the bed. So wouldn’t it be more convenient to go to the bedroom from the start and avoid the trouble of moving later?”

“R-Right, that makes sense.”

“…Let’s go then.”

After that, Cecifelia led me to the bedroom.

Using the bedroom in the middle of the day… Cecifelia must be tired from her usual work and the dinner today, maybe she just wants to take a nap.

She has some unexpectedly cute habits.

As I indulged in this bit of wishful thinking on the way to the bedroom, we finally arrived, and the two of us sat on the bed together. 

Then, Cecifelia looked me in the eyes and asked,

“So, Luke, why did you hide the fact that you met Celestine in the city? Was there some reason you needed to keep it secret?”

“!! I-I didn’t hide it! As I mentioned earlier, I was talking casually with a woman during that perfume incident, and that woman was Miss Celestine!”

“But back then, you didn’t tell me her name, right? Knowing Celestine’s personality, it’s hard to imagine she’d ask for your name and not give hers in return. So that means you deliberately withheld her name from me. Which implies you had a reason, like hiding something you didn’t want me to know.”

Sharp as ever… As usual, Cecifelia managed to get to the heart of the matter with just a little information… but still.

“I had no such intention. I just didn’t think it was necessary to mention her name at the time, so I didn’t.”

I thought that explaining it like this would put the matter to rest and stop Cecifelia from digging any further… but then she spoke up.

“Back then, I accepted your explanation, even though I wasn’t sure if it was true. But if I start thinking that you were hiding something from me, it makes me wonder about the perfume scent all over your body, or the fact that you, a slave, were wearing fine clothes. Maybe there’s another explanation… for example—”

As she spoke, Cecifelia touched my upper body with one hand.

“Maybe Celestine simply wanted to touch your body… something like that.”

“!! That’s all just speculation and completely different from the truth!”

In reality, the only reason Celestine touched me at that time was because she was concerned I might have been injured under my clothes, not because she wanted to touch me.

So, I firmly denied it, and Cecifelia replied in a calm tone.

“I see, it’s all just speculation and a hypothetical situation… So it would be unfair to punish you, thinking you were interested in another woman, right?”

If she understands that, then what was the point of this whole conversation?

As I was wondering about this, Cecifelia spoke.

“I can’t prove that you were distracted by another woman… but at the very least, I can check right now if I’m the one you think about the most, right?”

“…What do you mean?”

Still puzzled, I asked her, and for some reason, Cecifelia started unbuttoning her noblewoman’s jacket.

“M-Miss… Cecifelia?”

“I’m going to take off my top now, so be gentle and touch my chest, okay? If you do, I’ll believe that I’m the most important person to you.”

“Wha… what!? What do you even mean by that!?”

I was completely stunned by the sudden and illogical turn in the conversation, and then Cecifelia continued.

“Even if you were with Celestine, I’m sure you didn’t do anything more than touching her chest. I can tell from your expressions, your attitude, and… well, let’s not forget how much you reacted when you just saw me in my underwear before. That’s why I’m confident.”

“…!”

That was truly the most embarrassing moment of my life…!

“That’s why, if you touch my chest here and now, I can believe that I’m the most important person to you.”

With that, Cecifelia removed her jacket and began unbuttoning her blouse.

“W-Wait! I haven’t done anything inappropriate with Miss Celestine in the first place—”

“Just like I can’t say for certain that you did do something inappropriate with Celestine, you can’t say with absolute certainty that you didn’t, right? Especially since she touched you in various places, doesn’t that make it a bit worse for you?”

…She’s right.

I’ve always relied on the idea that “there’s no proof,” but now that’s being turned against me…!

“In fact, by putting all that aside and just having you touch my chest, we can settle everything. Isn’t that a good deal?”

It’s not a good deal at all…!

The idea that the first time I touch a woman’s chest would be that of someone from an enemy nation—how could that possibly be a good thing!?

Even as I screamed internally, Cecifelia finished unbuttoning her blouse and removed it, leaving her in just her undergarments on top.

Then, as she reached behind her back, she paused for a moment and spoke.

“Since we’ve come this far, how about I let you unhook my bra, Luke?”

“…Eh?”

“I was thinking about what kind of face you’d make when my bra came undone, and then I started to imagine how nice it would be to have you be the one to take it off for me.”

“…!”

“Oh, don’t know where the hook is? Here, let me guide your hand.”

With that, Cecifelia took my left hand and guided it to her back, placing it on her bra as she continued.

“Just a little pressure here, and my chest will be completely exposed to you, Luke.”

Even the parts of her chest that were already visible were incredibly stimulating for me, and if everything was revealed…!

As I was thinking that, Cecifelia spoke in a sweet tone.

“Come on, Luke… hurry up and take it off, and touch my chest, okay?”

Was I really out of options now…? No!

If it’s come to this, then even if I don’t want to say it, if words can protect something more important, I have no choice but to say it!

Steeling my resolve, I told Cecifelia,

“You’re the most important to me, Miss Cecifelia! I can tell you that without needing to touch you!”

“…!? L-Luke, words alone aren’t enough—”

“Miss Cecifelia, you’re the most important to me!”

Desperate to avoid touching Cecifelia’s chest, I kept repeating myself with all my might, and maybe because of how earnest I sounded, Cecifelia blushed and said shyly,

“I’m happy to hear that, but not just with words—”

“Miss Cecifelia, you’re the most important to me!!”

“…! C-Can you say that again?”

“Miss Cecifelia, you’re the most important to me!!”

“…Just one more time.”

“Miss Cecifelia, you’re the most important to me!!”

“…”

Satisfied after hearing me say it several times, Cecifelia let go of my hand from her undergarment and said,

“If you say it that many times, I’ll believe you… I’m sorry for doubting you, Luke.”

“N-No, don’t worry about it.”

After that, Cecifelia, still a bit embarrassed, started putting her clothes back on.

As I watched, I thought to myself,

—I had prepared for a long-term strategy, but I can’t afford to relax. Who knows when my chastity might be taken!

Tomorrow, I’ll go to the church and meet with the Saintess. As the prince of the Sandrotheim Kingdom, I’ll seek her cooperation… Even though she seemed a bit obsessed when it came to “that person,” luckily, we’re in the Elenorde Empire, and that person isn’t here. So, we should be able to have a calm conversation.

If I can get the Saintess on my side, I’ll be able to use the power of the church to get much closer to my goal!

With that in mind, I spent the rest of the day praying that tomorrow would go smoothly, without any problems.
