4. The Perspective of the Queen
Right after Rudolph left in pursuit of Diana, the Prime Minister of Freesia and the Count of Dalmatia were summoned to the queen’s private chamber in the white castle.
On either side of the queen, the Marchioness of Luminois and the Countess of Idea, public figures, were seated and smiling gracefully.
When the queen flashed her lace fan, the Marchioness of Luminois initiated the conversation.
“47 people, I presume? The process of selecting the candidates for His Highness’ concubine, which has been going on since last year, has finally concluded. Mr. Prime Minister, there are no more young ladies, right?”
At the Prime Minister’s behest, candidates for concubine were invited to a tea party hosted by the queen. The queen, Marchioness of Luminois, and Countess of Idea would be the judges.
The Marchioness of Luminois announced that the review of unmarried ladies from all over the kingdom was recently completed.
Recalling the long process of the review, the queen took a deep breath, while Countess Idea spoke brightly as if it was nothing.
“All of the ladies here are wonderful~ Nevertheless, if you want to become the concubine of His Highness Rudolph, you better keep this in mind. You shan’t hope for even a sliver of love from him. After all, His Highness Rudolph is so smitten with Lady Diana to the point that it concerns me a bit.”
When Rudolph told the ladies face to face at the tea party about his love for Diana, most of the ladies objected.
Some spoke ill of Diana, while others harassed her. From Countess Idea’s point of view, it was akin to a sparrow pecking at a lion, but that was beside the point.
“Lady Diana was the princess of a country, though one that we recently at war with, so it’d be wise for you not to attempt anything against her. In regard to that, I have unfortunate news. Mr. Prime Minister, your brilliant daughter is unfit as his concubine.”
The Prime Minister’s daughter, who was the leading candidate for the concubine, was invited to the first tea party. However, she took a jab at Diana’s appearance by citing a romance story that was popular among the noble ladies of the Kingdom of Freesia.
Echoing Countess Idea’s words, the Marchioness of Luminois spoke up.
“A witch with black hair and red eyes, she said… Hohoho, young ones these days are so ignorant. Red eyes are a symbol of the royal family of Killua, while crimson is the sacred color of their people, with whom we’ll be doing business from now on. Do you see why it would pose an issue if such a story became popular among the noble ladies of our kingdom? Also, does anyone know that Lady Diana’s late mother was the Queen’s cousin?”
Most of the continent’s royal families were related by marriage. Even if Diana hailed from an enemy country, degrading Diana, who was married to this country, was akin to degrading the queen.
The prime minister silently bowed his head, respectfully asking.
“Then, which lady fits the bill?”
With a snap, the queen closed her fan and spoke.
“45 young ladies were rejected because they were jealous and disrespectful of Diana, the crown princess. One even dared to mock my son right in front of me, calling him a ‘simpleton,’ losing by default. Congratulations are in order, Count Dalmatia, your daughter has successfully passed our review.”
“How…?”
Count Dalmatia stared at the queen with a cold sweat on his face.
“If it’s the daughter of the Count of Dalmatia, she won’t say anything no matter how much Rudolph loves Diana, because she’s just that demure.”
“I—but, that’s…”
The queen continued to Count Dalmatia, who was at a loss for words and was sweating profusely.
“To become a concubine, one has to be skilled at social situations and politics, while also maintaining a fair judgment on international affairs like the crown princess. Not to mention, she also can’t be jealous if she isn’t favored. I’m sure there are better marriage partners for someone who can fulfill such a role, but I’m grateful for the loyalty of the Count of Dalmatia.”
The queen was basically saying that the count’s 16-years-old daughter, who was too shy to speak properly in social situations, should shoulder the same responsibility as Diana, who was born and raised as a member of a royal family. Recalling how his daughter was frightened even by the servants of her mansion, the count went pale and said nothing in response.
As the count was wide agape in search of words, the queen averted her gaze.
“Prime Minister, about the daughter of the Count of Dalmatia, you have no objections, right?”
The queen asked if she could bestow authority to the Count of Dalmatia family, who was anti-Prime Minister.
“Huh?”
After a while, the queen smiled and confirmed with the two men.
The Count of Dalmatia, who humbly declined the offer of concubinage, and the prime minister, who withdrew from the concubinage affairs, left the queen’s chamber.
“Why don’t we head to bed?”
Rudolph carried me to bed, and the bed shrieked as he pounded me senseless.
“Haa… aah… Your… High—… ness, wait…”
He lifted my hips high, as if to show me the source of the obscene noises. With his chiseled abs and supple hips, he deftly drove me into ecstasy. The way he licked his slightly parted lips looked incredibly sexy.
A handsome blond with blue eyes is my weakness.
“Diana, you’re so tight. It’s so good… Ugh, I’m about to come. It’s been a long time since I’m inside you. I want to savor you even more.”
“It’s okay… Ah… me too… cumming… uh, ah, aaah—”
“It feels amazing, doesn’t it? Diana loves having her right nipple teased. Look, you’re… clamping around me again… Who needs an aphrodisiac when you’re already feeling this good…?”
Rudolph kept grinding the walls of my cunt. He teased my right breast with his tongue before sucking tightly on my erect nipple, while his fingers kneaded on the other. Pleasure pervaded my entire body, turning my brain into mush.
“Ah—… That’s… it feels weird, I’m going crazy… Haa… Rudolph, don’t… uh—…”
“I love you, Diana… I love you so much, yet you doubt me… Ugh, Diana, don’t you know how much I yearn for you!?”
Rudolph ferociously slammed his hips.
“Hya… mmh… aah… Ah—!! Rudolph—!!”
“Diana, Diana, Diana—! Accept all of me, I’ll fill you to the brim…!”
My insides throbbed as his seeds simmered inside my womb.
After a strenuous exertion, he breathed deeply into my shoulder, and when he shook his head lightly, sweat glistened from his pale gold hair. His pale emerald eyes stared at me with the utmost sweetness.
“You’re beautiful. The way you tightened around me, sucking me dry, it’s just irresistible.”
He ran his thumb over my lips, sliding it into my mouth and toying with my tongue.
“…Ah…”
While staring at him, I sucked on his finger. When he began to thrust it in and out, I also matched it with an equally wanton sucking and licking.
“…Diana.”
With an ecstatic look on his face, Rudolph pulled out from. He made me crawl on all fours, sticking my ass to him.
“…Both your juice and my semen are overflowing from here. It’s so… mesmerizing.”
He continued to rub his engorged shaft, which had grown into a full mast, moaning lustfully.
“Diana, do you want me? Do you love me?”
His tip parted my folds, only to stop, and I swayed my hips, begging for him to go deeper.
“Mm… I love… Rudolph, I want—aah! Mmmph—!”
His hard cock plunged in all at once to the deepest part of me, and she saw stars.
Rudolph thrusted in and out of me, making squelching noises as he drilled against my insides.
“Aah, Diana, unlike before, I’m hitting you in a different spot… You’re tightening again… Do you feel good too, Diana? I truly love you. I want you so badly, I’m going crazy. I can’t help it, ugh, ah… Will you give birth to my child, Diana? Will you forgive me?”
As he hungrily took me, Rudolph scooped the love juice, smearing it against my erect clit. Currents jolted me from inside and outside.
“Hyii… aaah… ah! I’m cumming… again… Your Highness… Nooo—!”
“Not yet, Diana. I haven’t had enough. This is far from enough.”
He licked the inside of my ear, and I could hear both his heavy breathing and the sound of our hips and buttocks slamming against each other.
The lewd noises turned me on, and I came once again.
“Aah… Again… C-cumming… Aah—!”
“I’m still… Haa… Damn… It feels so good, Diana…!”
Covered in sweat, tears, and bodily fluids, we devoured each other out like beasts until dawn.
At the Royal Castle of Freesia—
“Your Majesty the Queen, well done.”
Just as Countess Idea was giving the queen compliments, the queen’s maid entered the room and quickly whispered to her.
The queen widened her eyes, but answered meekly.
“So, that girl wasn’t hurt?”
“Yes, except for some scratches. She’s currently in His Highness’ protection.”
“You must’ve been having a hard time, too. Please get some rest.”
When the maid excused herself, the Marchioness of Luminois spoke.
“His Highness Rudolph went all out again, didn’t he?”
The queen nodded at her friendly tone. Conversations with her long-time comrades-in-arms tended to be fast-paced.
“Indeed, he just doesn’t know when to stop.”
Rudolph was excellent, but his abilities were wasted on him. He was so head-over-heels with Diana that he thoroughly monitored her in an attempt to monopolize her. Unable to bear the thoughts of Diana meeting other men, he rarely went out in social circles.
“Sure, she’s deeply loved, but even Lady Diana would be suffocated by that.”
The queen and her entourage knew that Diana was a hawk with hidden claws. They were concerned that her talent would be lost to Rudolph’s possessiveness.
“—If Her Highness doesn’t appear in society, we’ll never be able to retire.”
The Marchioness of Luminois and Countess of Idea, who ruled the social world, nodded. The two were desperate to raise the next generation of queens.
“After the incident, Rudolph will probably kick a fuss. Nevertheless, now that she’s healthy, we need to let her out a bit.”
The queen attached a shadow on Diana when she left the castle. When Diana was abducted, it was the queen’s shadow who informed Rudolph’s knights. Although her son would criticize her harshly later, the queen also took all possible precautions for the sake of Diana’s safety.
“It’s about time for that child to realize that Rudolph is abnormal.”
As I cradled Diana like a crazed beast, I caressed the contours of her cheeks as she breathed, and gently kissed her pristinely molded lips.
That alone caused blood to collect in my lower half.
While she was asleep, I shoved my dick between her thighs and shook my hips. I scooped a lock of her slightly damp hair, which resembled the darkness of night, and sniffed it.
“…!”
I climaxed as I thought of her delinquent behavior and tearful red eyes.
After wiping off her body, which had been stained with my fluids, I drew her into my arms and softly kissed her long eyelashes.
“Now, where should I lock you up?”
If I took my eyes off her for just a moment, she might disappear in the blink of an eye again.
My mother’s shadow is still troublesome.
Even though I should’ve created an organization comparable to the network of shadows that could only be used by the King and Queen…
“Above the sky, there’s another sky, huh? Well, it doesn’t matter.”
I wanted to shackle Diana to my side.
At the same time, I didn’t want to show her to anyone, and I didn’t want her to get hurt by the strange rumors that might circulate.
“…Then, a place without a single soul.”
That’s a wonderful idea.
When I woke up the next morning, both of my arms were bandaged.
“Isn’t he going overboard…?”
After I was bound by the kidnappers, my wrists were scraped from rope burn. Apparently, Rudolph took care of it.
To prevent me from using my hands, Rudolph wouldn’t let me get out of bed, and would spoon-feed me breakfast.
Even when we left the inn and got into the carriage, he was carrying me.
“…My legs aren’t injured, though?”
“You’re still injured regardless.”
Rudolph smiled and kissed my forehead.
He was laughing as he fondled me all over.
“Diana, can we take a short detour? I want to show you a place.”
“What about government affairs?”
“It’s okay, it’s just for a short while. They should do it themselves once a while. They always rely on me and make strange demands. I’m fed up with it.”
As he said that, Rudolph’s gaze was frigid.
Is that why he was often referred to as ‘cool-headed’ and ‘smart’?
Because he always had an adoring expression and spoke sweetly to me, it often slipped my mind.
“Indeed… You always stay up late doing government work.”
I comforted him while stroking his pale blond hair.
Unlike me, who had nothing to do besides wait for him in bed, he worked non-stop every day. Knowing that, how was I supposed to stay calm when someone called him a ‘simpleton’?
“Okay, let’s go.”
Rudolph smiled happily, and I reminded him.
“It’s just for a little bit, okay?”
I didn’t want anyone to badmouth him again.
—How naïve I was.
Now that I was about to have everything stripped from me, I’d soon regret that.
