When I Infiltrated the Enemy Nation as a Slave, the Yandere Beauties There Started a Civil War Over Me - Chapter 41: A Gentle Plea

Chapter 41: A Gentle Plea

“…”

This had happened before. Based on past experiences, I knew that as long as Lyra calmed down, she was always kind and caring toward me. And since I’d managed to soothe her in a similar situation previously, I was confident I could handle it the same way this time.

With that thought in mind, I opened my mouth to speak, hoping to calm her down.

“Lyra, like I told you before, there’s no need to rush into something like this, especially here, where your devoted followers are nearby.”

The last time I said this, Lyra understood and agreed. 

It had only been about a week since then, so I doubted her perspective had drastically changed in such a short time.

“As you say, Lord Alex, under normal circumstances, this wouldn’t be necessary… However, right now—this is absolutely essential!”

As she said this, Lyra leaned in closer to me, her expression intense.

“If your body, which should be treasured above all else, has been sullied by the base desires of another woman, that impurity must be cleansed at all costs! But please, rest assured—you don’t need to do anything at all.”

Then, with her cheeks flushed and a sweet tone in her voice, Lyra subtly shifted her hips and continued speaking softly.

“Lord Alex, all you need to do is indulge in my body… If you do that, I promise my love will cleanse the impurity clinging to you and lead you to the heights of bliss.”

As Lyra said this, she pulled back slightly, her breath quickening, and reached toward the waistband of my butler’s pants. Just as she was about to proceed, I quickly spoke to stop her.

“Wait, wait, Lyra! I’ll tell you what happened, so there’s no need to continue with what you’re about to do!”

“Is that so…? I understand. Please, tell me.”

Though she sounded a bit disappointed, Lyra didn’t argue and appeared willing to listen. Considering the content of what I was about to share, it wasn’t something I was thrilled to discuss. However, it was far better than letting things escalate according to Lyra’s misguided ideas of love. Swallowing my embarrassment, I forced myself to speak.

“A woman… pressed my face… directly between her chest.”

“…!”

This time, I made sure to clearly explain what had happened, even though I felt mortified. The misunderstanding with Celestine last time had taught me the importance of being upfront, no matter how embarrassing it was.

As soon as I said it, Lyra’s eyes widened, and she clasped her hands tightly together. Then she spoke, her voice trembling slightly.

“Ah… the thought of Lord Alex being tainted by another woman’s chest is utterly unacceptable. However, if that’s the case—”

As Lyra said this, she suddenly pulled off the upper part of her Saintess robes, revealing crimson lingerie. Her cheeks flushed, she declared with determination:

“I will envelop you so completely that you’ll forget the feel and scent of that woman’s chest. I’ll cleanse that impurity for you!”

“Wait, hold on! I don’t need anything like that—”

“Please, rest assured, Lord Alex. You don’t need to do anything at all!”

Before I could finish my protest, Lyra confidently reached behind her back, unhooking her lingerie with practiced ease. Then, she removed it entirely. Just as her bare chest came into view, I quickly shut my eyes.

“…!? Lord Alex…? Why are you closing your eyes? If you do that, I won’t be able to fully cleanse the impurity!”

“I didn’t even look at that woman’s chest with my eyes! And Lyra, you don’t have to do this at all. Please, just put your clothes back on!”

“That won’t do… Now, Lord Alex, I will embrace you with my chest and rid you of all impurity.”

As Lyra said this, my face, still lying down, was slowly enveloped by something soft and warm. This softness, the subtle firmness, and the slightly springy texture… There was no doubt about it—it was Lyra’s breasts.

Until now, it had only been in the form of an embrace. But having my face wrapped in her breasts while lying down felt completely different—it was an entirely new sensation.

“Ah…! For the day to come where I could hold Lord Alex in my arms like this…! It’s just the beginning, but I’ve been longing for this moment for so long…! Lord Alex, please, indulge yourself even more!”

As she spoke, Lyra began gently moving her breasts, which were pressed against my face.

“…!”

Soft, warm, and incredibly comforting… This was Lyra’s…

Even though I knew I shouldn’t be thinking about this, I couldn’t help but notice that the usual tension I felt around Lyra had eased slightly. Perhaps it was because, even as a member of the Elenorde Empire, she genuinely cared about the Sandrotheim Kingdom—and about me.

Lost in these thoughts, I realized my body had unconsciously relaxed, surrendering to the sensation. Lyra, noticing this, pulled me up slightly and hugged me tightly, pressing my face between her ample breasts once more.

“Lord Alex… do you have any worries or concerns troubling you?”

“Worries or concerns?”

“Yes… As we speak, the impurity left by that other woman is being cleansed from you. But I wish to do more than just remove it—I want to help ease your heart as well, just as you once did for me.”

At some point, Lyra’s vacant gaze had softened, replaced with gentle, kind eyes. Her voice, too, was warm and comforting—not just kind, but steady and resolute.

In moments like these, it struck me again that Lyra truly was a Saintess. But still…

“As the Prince of the Sandrotheim Kingdom, I can’t show my weaknesses to anyone.”

“That may be true. You can’t express such things to the people of Sandrotheim, your father, or, of course, anyone from another nation… But it’s all right to share those burdens with me, and me alone.”

Saying this, she gently stroked my head.

…Normally, I would never show weakness.

But right now, I was with Lyra—the only person in the Elenorde Empire who wasn’t my enemy. In this moment, with her, I felt like I could finally let my guard down. The contrast between this brief reprieve and the constant tension I’d been under, combined with the comfort of her embrace, made my worries spill out naturally.

“I’m worried… about the Sandrotheim Kingdom. Just thinking about how my people might be suffering while I’m here makes my heart ache… And yet, I haven’t been able to do anything for them. The Kingdom’s last hope rests on this plan of me infiltrating the Empire, but at this rate… if I fail, it’ll be my fault…”

As the words escaped me, Lyra responded in a gentle yet resolute tone.

“It is not your fault, Lord Alex. All of this is because of the foolish people of the Elenorde Empire. And you have not done nothing. Despite the constraints of being a slave, a position where taking action is nearly impossible, you’ve made it this far—to me. Together, Lord Alex, you and I will ensure the Empire pays for its wrongs.”

“Lyra… thank you.”

It seemed there were moments when Lyra acted strangely, but deep down, she was incredibly kind. Her words filled me with gratitude, and I expressed my heartfelt thanks. At that, Lyra’s voice rose slightly in nervousness.

“N-No! There’s no need to thank me for something like this…! The impurity on Lord Alex has already been cleansed… Let’s leave it at that for today.”

With that, Lyra stopped hugging me, stepped off the bed, and informed me that she had put her Saintess robes back on. Finally, I opened my eyes and got off the bed as well.

“…”

Even through her Saintess robes, it was impossible not to notice how large Lyra’s breasts were… and how my face had just been…

As I unintentionally glanced in her direction, Lyra blushed and spoke shyly.

“Lord Alex… if you’re interested, would you like to see after all?”

“!? N-No, I’m fine! Sorry for looking!”

“There’s no need to apologize! If Lord Alex wishes to look at my body, that would bring me the greatest happiness!”

“I-I see… Well then, let’s focus on planning how to bring down the Elenorde—”

Just as I was about to continue, there was a knock at the door, followed by a voice from outside.

“Saintess! The Duke has arrived and wishes to continue discussing the matter from before. How should we proceed?”

“The Duke… that person, is it? Understood. Please tell them I’ll be there shortly.”

“Understood!”

After Lyra relayed her response, a confirmation came from outside. She then turned to me with an apologetic expression.

“I’m very sorry. I’ll finish the conversation quickly, so would you mind waiting here in this room, Lord Alex?”

“Of course, I don’t mind. But… who exactly is this Duke?”

Curious, I asked without much thought. Lyra’s response, however, was shocking.

“The Duke I’m about to meet… is none other than the famed strategist of the Elenorde Empire.”
