When I Infiltrated the Enemy Nation as a Slave, the Yandere Beauties There Started a Civil War Over Me - Chapter 36: Purpose

Chapter 36: Purpose

─A week had passed since then.

It was clear that Cecifelia had started to grow suspicious of my repeated trips to the city, so I hadn’t gone back to town at all this past week, instead living quietly at the mansion.

As a result, not much had changed. If there was one thing that had changed…

“Luke~, it’s been a week now, so isn’t it time I get to press you between my chest again?”

Cecifelia had taken to regularly asking if she could sandwich my face between her breasts again.

Naturally, I had been refusing every time. There was no way I’d willingly relive that humiliating experience—being trapped, unable to move, while Cecifelia hugged me and stroked my head.

Yet, even now, as we made our way to the dining room, she kept making the same request.

“No, absolutely not… Besides, why do you even want to do that so much?”

“Why? Well, just thinking about you enjoying the feel of my chest makes me feel… fulfilled. And hugging you, while stroking your head, it makes me feel like you truly belong to me during that time… Also—”

Cecifelia leaned forward, emphasizing her chest as she spoke.

“Luke, you haven’t forgotten how my chest feels, have you? You probably want to feel it again, don’t you?”

“! I definitely don’t think that!”

I said firmly and quickened my pace toward the dining room.

…Whether I can’t forget the feeling of Cecifelia’s chest or not.

Honestly, it was a sensation unlike anything I had ever experienced, so it’s true that it’s hard to forget, but wanting to feel it again? No way!

And besides, she’s a woman from an enemy nation! There’s no way I should be thinking anything like that about Cecifelia.

I repeated this to myself as I entered the dining room, where I started breakfast with Cecifelia.

“Still, Luke, your reactions are so cute… For a few days after I pressed your face between my chest, you looked so embarrassed every time we met~”

“…That’s not true.”

“Aww, you’re just too cute! Last time I was still wearing my underwear, so I couldn’t really show you everything. But next time, I’d love to let you fully enjoy them without anything in the way~”

I can’t let that kind of day come.

And in order to prevent it, I can finally resume the actions I need to take today.

After spending the entire week in the mansion, I mentioned last night that I wanted to go out to the city for a change of pace, and Cecifelia responded with, “Well, you do need to go out sometimes! So, you can go tomorrow!”

That’s how I got permission.

“Luke, say ‘ahh.’”

I already had my plan for the day. First, I would take the carriage into the city, then head to the Celestine estate.

“…Luke, say ‘ahh.’”

Once I secured the 100,000 gold there, I would head to the church to discuss the next steps with Layla—

“Luke! Say ‘ahhh!’”

Lost in thought, I didn’t realize I had been ignoring Cecifelia, who, growing impatient, raised her voice and held a forkful of food in front of my mouth.

With a sigh of resignation, I politely refused her offer, finished breakfast, and boarded the carriage to head into the city, as planned.

“…”

When I arrived in the city, I was careful not to repeat the mistakes of last time. I made sure to stay aware of the carriage driver’s gaze, as well as the eyes of people around me, moving in a way that kept me out of sight as much as possible.

Once I felt I had successfully avoided any watchful eyes, I left the city and made my way to the Celestine estate.

—A few minutes later.

As I approached, I saw the large, ornate golden gate and the Celestine family mansion behind it. I walked up to speak to the gatekeeper.

“I have some business with Miss Charlotte Celestine. Is she currently at the estate?”

“Yes, she is… May I have your name, please?”

“My name is Luke.”

“Understood. I’ll inform Lady Charlotte right away. Please wait here for a moment.”

One of the two gatekeepers said this, then opened the gate and headed toward the mansion.

After waiting for a little while, the gatekeeper returned, this time accompanied by Celestine. 

The gatekeeper then returned to his post, and Celestine, looking happy, spoke to me.

“Sir Luke… It has been a while, and I was worried something might have happened, so it’s an honor to meet with you again like this.”

“I apologize for causing you concern… but I’m managing just fine.”

“I’m truly glad to hear that… So, your business today is to receive what we discussed earlier, correct?”

“Yes.”

“Then, please come inside.”

With that, I followed Celestine through the gate, and we walked along the paved path that led through the garden.

I appreciated how she quickly understood my purpose without me needing to explain anything. We soon arrived at the front of the mansion and stepped inside.

Like before, we entered the guest room, where we sat down on the sofas, facing each other.

“Well then, Sir Luke… Here you go.”

With those words, Celestine placed a beautiful box, the same one I had seen before, filled with gold coins, in front of me. I opened the box and carefully pocketed the 100,000 gold from inside.

“Thank you very much.”

“No need to thank me. I’m simply fulfilling the obligations of our contract.”

After saying this and closing the box, Celestine began to speak again.

“By the way, Sir Luke… This isn’t part of our contract, so you’re not obligated to answer, but may I ask you one thing?”

“Yes.”

“…How do you plan to use the money you’ve received?”

I see… She’s right, I don’t have to answer, and it’s something I’d rather not talk about.

If I were to tell her the truth—that it’s for gathering information to bring down the Elenorde Empire—she might decide to break off our contract, no matter what agreement we have.

“…”

But the important thing here is why she’s asking this question in the first place.

If it’s because she’s discovered my real purpose or identity, or even gained some clue about it, then it could seriously affect my future plans. If that’s the case, I need to handle it now.

“Why does that interest you?”

Depending on her answer, my relationship with Celestine could change drastically going forward… After asking her, she looked a bit uneasy as she responded.

“I’ve heard that men, when they come into large sums of money, often spend it recklessly at… certain places in the city. As someone who sees you as a potential fiancé—and ultimately hopes you’ll become my fiancé—that possibility concerns me a little.”

Spending money recklessly at those kinds of places in town—wait, what!?

“I would never do anything like that!”

Her question was completely different from what I had expected, so I quickly and firmly denied it.

Celestine then responded.

“I’m relieved to hear that directly from you, Sir Luke… Just to confirm, there haven’t been any such interactions with women recently, correct?”

“Of course, I—”

I started to answer confidently, but then… I remembered what had happened a week ago—

“How is it, Luke? My breasts are soft, aren’t they?”

“Ah, L-Luke, if you move or speak too much… ahn!”

“My, Luke, between my chest… You’re so adorable… I’ll always take care of you… my Luke…”

The memory of that moment flashed vividly in my mind, and I quickly turned my face away from Celestine as I finished my sentence.

“…Of course not.”

“Sir Luke…? From your reaction… Since you haven’t been going to those kinds of places, could it be that Lady Claire… did something to you?”

“!?”

“…I see. So, that’s what happened.”

When I let out a surprised gasp after being caught off guard, Celestine muttered in a somber tone.

She then stood up from the sofa and approached me, speaking as she did.

“The slave system is truly a foolish one… It allows people like Lady Claire to treat Sir Luke so terribly, not even recognizing you as a person.”

Saying this, she sat down beside me, placing her hand gently over mine. Blushing slightly, she gave me a soft yet seductive smile and continued.

“Sir Luke, please tell me what Lady Claire did to you. And rest assured… no matter how cruel she was to you—I will personally embrace you and make up for everything, using my own body to ease your suffering.”
