The scenery outside the window was peaceful again today. Was it said that the time of the royal palace and the time of the streets flowed in different directions? Erina felt like she could understand the words of the ancient sages a little better now. The world was peaceful, leisurely rolling time forward as if there were no longer any threats. However, a threat still existed behind the scenes.
From the moment AA left Ahildern to investigate the Four Heavenly Kings, this threat approached in a form she could clearly realize. Erina's chest ached and her body grew anxious with unease when she thought about AA going on a dangerous adventure again. Her body wanted Lucius, but a large part of her heart was still occupied by AA.
As Ahildern Erina was a woman with high pride as a princess and elf-like chastity, she always thought of AA except for when Lucius shook his cock in front of her. Even when a servant called out to her as she sat blankly, she was thinking of AA.
"Princess!"
"W-What? What is it? Whose presence do you think you're in to be shouting?"
The servant who raised her voice in the princess's room stood with her head held high, as if she had committed no sin. Instead of arrogance or confidence, her facial expression was filled with urgency and annoyance. Erina glared at the servant and shouted once, but soon sighed and shook her head. The servant was someone who had been exclusively in charge of Erina since she was a child. For someone like that to shout so urgently, something major must have happened.
"So, what is the matter? AA, who went to the western coast, wouldn't have returned already, so why are you calling me in such a rush?"
"The Queen has summoned you. She demands that you come right now."
"W-What?"
She felt fear because there were far too many things that came to mind. Erina looked at the servant and asked.
"C-Could you go in my stead?"
"You have to go yourself, Princess. She had a very strict voice. It seems you are going to get scolded severely this time, what on earth did you do?"
"I-I didn't do anything! I'm telling you I didn't do a single thing worth being scolded for!"
Just the number of cases she could think of immediately was ten, but Erina denied it. The servant found this evading responsibility of Erina's to be somewhat cute, but it also made her head ache when she remembered that this woman would become the Queen who would lead Ahildern in the future. It was because she felt like another dark age would fall upon Ahildern, which had continuously progressed under the brilliant reign of Ahildern Salina.
Didn't they say that the brighter the light, the darker the shadow? The servant's heart ached when she thought about the princess she had grown fond of becoming a Queen and facing the public's criticism. She teared up and tightly held Erina's hands.
"Princess... you must stay strong."
"W-Why are you crying? Just what is going to happen when I go? Huh? Servant? Servant?"
The servant ran out into the hallway to avoid showing her unseemly crying. Left all alone like that, Erina had to tremble in anxiety once again over the servant's passionate reaction. Just what was happening?
Erina took reluctant steps toward Salina's room. Ahildern Salina's room was on the top floor of the royal palace, exquisitely connected to the rocky mountain located directly behind the kingdom. Past the hidden passage between this rocky mountain and the castle was the [Carriage of Alio Festa].
Erina realized something was wrong as she stepped into the hallway. It was because there was no one in the hallway that would normally be crowded with servants and royal guards. Seeing the quiet hallway, Erina had no choice but to feel fear once again. Just what was happening beyond that room door for her to even dismiss the servants like this? With every step she took down the hallway, anxiety took one more step inside her heart.
"A-Aheu..."
Erina arrived in front of Salina's room with her legs trembling. She was at the point where she would rather have royal guards holding spears and swords glaring down at her. What Erina faced in the hallway devoid of both soldiers and servants were the portraits bearing the fierce glares of her old ancestors. They were staring down the hallway with eyes that seemed to reprimand Erina.
Erina could realize anew the fact that this hallway was a very majestic and terrifying space. Originally, it was a bustling space due to the royal guards standing at every corner and the servants constantly moving about busily. However, the traces of time and the majesty of her ancestors lingered intact in the hallway where silence had settled. Was this also a staged scene created by Ahildern Salina to admonish Erina? Erina squeezed her eyes shut and knocked on the door.
"M-Mother."
Woof!
A sound like a dog barking could be heard from inside the door. At the unfamiliar sound coming from the room, Erina knocked on the door again and asked.
"Mother?"
Woof!
Nonsense could be heard again. Yet, the voice was somewhat familiar. Erina tilted her head back and forth and spoke.
"M-May I enter?"
"Come in."
Her elegant voice could be heard as always. Erina dryly swallowed her saliva again and opened the door. Beyond the door was Ahildern Salina, sitting with her legs crossed. Erina was startled upon seeing her attire and blushed.
"M-Mother! How could you wear such a shameful outfit!"
Woof! What does my outfit have to do with you to be raising your voice right now?"
Salina was wearing black underwear under a negligee. The shameful underwear, which was clearly visible even in Erina's field of vision, was enough to embarrass Erina. Erina's head was so confused that she couldn't help it. Salina spoke.
"Kneel on the floor."
"Yes! Yes!"
Erina immediately knelt down. In her current state, no trace of Ahildern's princess could be found. Right now, only the childishness of a girl in her twenties afraid of being scolded remained here. Salina raised her head in a high-handed manner and scanned Erina. Erina had never seen such a terrifying face on Salina before. Salina spoke.
"Do you know what wrongdoing you have committed?"
"Ah, that..."
Erina racked her brain. There were too many. She thought about it over and over, but there were so many that she couldn't know which one to give as an answer. She bowed her head flat to the floor and spoke.
"Yes! I know, Mother. I am truly sorry! For committing such a shameful action as a princess of a nation..."
Woof! Let's see you recite what mistake you made. I must see if you have truly realized your wrongdoing properly."
"Ah, i-if it's a mistake... Woof?"
Erina finally noticed a subtle sense of incongruity. Salina had been continuously making puppy sounds for a while now. Even so, her facial expression was incredibly nonchalant, so Erina, who was overwhelmed by the atmosphere, had almost just moved past it. When Erina stared at her with a strange gaze, Salina instead furrowed her facial expression and asked.
"What is it? You aren't saying you don't know your wrongdoing, are you?"
"N-No... I am sorry."
"What are you so sorry for?"
"I am sorry! Um... wanting to rest during the time I should have been helping with state affairs, I secretly went to play in the palace garden with AA."
"I am not angry over something as trivial as that."
It carried the meaning that it was a bigger issue than that. Erina racked her brain again.
"Ah! I stepped on Mother's dress, leaving a small flaw on it... um... did you notice?"
Woof?
At those words, Salina stood up from her seat with a slightly flustered face and headed to the dressing room attached to the side of the room. After rummaging through the room for a moment, she twitched her lips and spoke.
"Let's talk about this separately later. It is not this, either."
"Ah, then... as expected... um..."
"Um?"
"I am sorry... um... I-I couldn't overcome my... sexual desire... and ended up having relations with Peta, Lu-Lucius again."
"Right. You know your wrongdoing very well."
Erina squeezed her eyes shut and began to sniffle. Just thinking about getting scolded by Salina again already made her start to feel afraid. Salina tended to be very generous towards Erina, but it was still a bit scary when she got angry. However, contrary to Erina's expectations, a very tranquil voice flowed into her ears.
"Come here and sit."
Salina patted the seat next to her on the bed and spoke gently. Erina hesitantly shook her head and sat in the seat next to Salina. Salina gently stroked down Erina's hair and spoke.
"Really... how could there be such a loose child."
Erina squeezed her eyes shut again at Salina's sudden verbal abuse. She couldn't even begin to predict how she would carry out her admonishment from now on. Was she going to give a slap? Was she going to persuade her gently with words? Erina hoped this admonishment time would end quickly, by any means.
"I am sorry, Mother."
Woof... It's fine, Erina. This isn't entirely your wrongdoing, is it? The problem is all Lord Peta Lucius's massive cock."
"Pardon?"
Erina felt that the atmosphere was turning strangely peculiar. Salina's fingertips scanned Erina's hair and gradually began to trail downwards. Her hand, which followed the shoulder line and caressed her collarbone, poked the protruding breasts above the thin clothes.
"M-Mother?"
Woof.
Salina smirked, grabbed the scruff of Erina's neck, and pulled her toward herself. Then, she unhesitatingly kissed her and began shoving her tongue in.
"Eueup...! Eup...! Ah... aheup...! Moth... ahp...!"
Salina smirked as she harassed the inside of Erina's mouth. A soft tongue movement, giving a completely different feeling from both AA and Lucius, wrapped around her tongue, clung tenaciously, and let saliva flow in. Erina couldn't bear to push Salina away, so she just helplessly endured it with her wrists firmly grabbed. Just how many minutes had they kissed? Salina pulled her tongue straight out and looked at Erina.
"M-Mother?"
Woof.
The Salina reflected in Erina's eyes was fear itself. She smacked her lips with a red-dyed face and spoke like this.
"My first kiss with your father was also like this. In the royal palace garden, I gave him a kiss like this instead of a confession. Your father's facial expression was quite a sight to see back then..."
"M-Mother..."
Salina stroked Erina's cheek. Erina was on the verge of tears. Salina spoke.
Woof! But, I don't even think about your father anymore. Such an admirable child. Somehow you had the eye for picking a good man. To think you would introduce someone like Lord Peta Lucius to me."
"J-Just what are you talking about..."
"Lord Lucius!"
At the same time Salina shouted, the door of the secret passage opened. Erina froze upon seeing the naked man who appeared from beyond it. Peta Lucius had taken off his priest's robe and was winking in his naked body.
"Yoo-hoo."
