6. Diana’s Strategy
When I returned to the royal castle, I asked to see two people.
Rudolph was still monitoring me, but I was fine. I didn’t care anymore.
The first person I met was the queen.
“I’ve been wanting to talk to you, too. Without anyone else present, of course.”
As soon as I entered the most splendid chamber in the castle, the owner welcomed me after dismissing everyone else.
Looking back, that was the first time I was alone with the queen.
“I thought it’d be better for you to learn about the outside world. Forgive me for putting you in danger. Twice, for that matter.”
The first time was when I was kidnapped by the thugs, and the second time was when I was confined by the queen’s son.
Through the most recent incident, I learned that Rudolph and the queen were at odds over me.
“I have to sternly admonish my mother…”
Rudolph muttered ominously because the queen had sent me out of the royal castle. Apparently, the queen had used her authority to bust open the cage that Rudolph had kept me in while strictly monitoring me.
For that reason, the queen apologized, but I shook my head no.
“I want to get out of the cage too.”
I asked the queen to become my accomplice.
Because I believed in his feelings towards me, I started thinking about the future.
When the queen heard my wish, she nodded in understanding.
“It seems that my son has at least earned your trust.”
The queen looked straight into my eyes. Her chestnut hair and deep jade eyes somehow reminded me of my own mother.
As the queen gazed at me warmly, she spoke as if she’d read my mind.
“It’s time to expand your network. You need to increase your allies.”
—Being loved by him isn’t enough.
If I didn’t solidify my position, I’d be usurped in no time.
“—That’s why, I still need the medicine.”
I told the queen.
“I was thinking the same.”
In response, the queen nodded with a smile, placing a vial on the small mahogany table. Without a doubt, the contents were contraceptives.
Even if the issue with concubinage was resolved, contrary to Rudolph’s wish, I still couldn’t give birth to a child.
I had a lot of enemies in this kingdom.
No matter how secure Rudolph’s position as the successor to the throne was, it was hardly a good environment for our children.
If I want to give birth, I have to be recognized in this kingdom.
The queen also knew that.
Moreover…
“—Everyone else would’ve thought that as a member of the royal family, my son put you under house arrest to keep an eye on you. But no, he did that out of infatuation. Do you find that terrifying?”
She even put herself in my shoes.
Rudolph didn’t restrict my movements because I hailed from the enemy’s country, but because he was obsessed with me. Yes, terrifying.
“—Thanks to His Highness, I’m happy.”
When I told her my true feelings, the queen laughed, the corners of her eyes wrinkled.
Her smiling face was very charming and resembled his.
“I’m glad he found a wife. I’ll have the Knight Captain appoint your personal escort knight. Rudolph probably won’t like it, but it’s necessary considering that you’ll only get busier from now on.”
Since I’d never stepped outside the royal palace, I had almost no bodyguards. The maids alone were enough. However, if I want to socialize and expand my network, I’ll definitely need an escort.
“However, the knights aren’t too fond of me…”
“Diana, don’t you know? You’re quite popular in the Order of Knights.”
Huh? How can that be…
I couldn’t see any reason for them to be kind to me. After all, I was the princess of an enemy country who took the lives of their fellow knights.
“Ever since you came, they didn’t have to accompany Rudolph to practice anymore. You see, that kid has abnormal physical strength.”
Apparently, Rudolph, who was also a sword master, trained the knights quite often. Nevertheless, he had no equals, and many ended up getting injured.
“Rudolph has reduced his visits to the Order of Knights to spend more time with you, so the knights are in good hands. They can also take proper breaks. Although I gave birth to Rudolph, I have to admit that he’s a bit peculiar at times…”
The queen sighed heavily.
“His talents and physical strength are wasted on him…”
Yes, that’s…
He moved around so much that I sometimes doubted if he even slept, and he was energetic in everything he did. I didn’t expect him to be such a person, either.
“He’s going to give you a hard time.”
His mother expressed great sympathy for me, and our first meeting concluded with my not knowing how to respond.
***
The second person was Raul, who was close to Rudolph.
After I’d summoned him to my room, I glanced at my maid, Karin, and dismissed her from the room.
Now alone with me, Raul became visibly distraught.
“Lady Diana, this is just wrong. At the very least, keep one maid inside…”
I spoke sternly to Raul, who was afraid of what he might suffer at Rudolph’s hands.
“No, only you’re allowed to hear this. I’ll explain to His Highness. It’ll be over soon, so just sit there.”
When I pointed to the chaise lounge, Raul threw up his hands and withdrew.
“If it’ll be over soon, I’ll just stay here…”
Raul was adamant to stay right next to the door. With a smile, I strode towards him.
“Y-Your Highness…!”
I rushed towards Raul and cornered him until his back was against the door. Then, I put my hand on the side of his face. He was so tall, my face almost bumped into his chest.
“L-Lady Diana, His Highness will kill me…!”
He pleaded for me to leave and I whispered to him.
“Right. If you don’t want me to touch you anymore, just heed my request.”
“It would depend on the request…”
As Raul closed his eyes and resisted, sweating profusely, I maliciously told him.
“Should I tell His Highness that I kissed you?”
Raul screamed and promised to make my wish come true.

I love Diana,
Especially those eyes…
They gleamed like ruby, and when basked in sunlight, they turned golden. Those eyes were mesmerizing and vivacious, like burning flames.
Those eyes. That glossy jet-black hair. Her body, which was once too thin, grew into a curvaceous one. Although her waist was as slender as always, her breasts had become voluptuous, and my eyes were drawn to them.
Everyone fell in love with her the moment they laid eyes on her.
Men would be ignited with passion, while women would burn with envy.
Diana is my treasure.
I want to keep her safe.
A place where heartless ridicules and criticisms couldn’t reach her. A place where she wouldn’t be exposed to the preying gazes of depraved males.
However, Diana tried to escape from my grasp.
Lately, she’d formed a clique with my mother and frequently went to tea parties and evening galas.
Whenever I objected, refusing to let her go outside the castle, her crimson eyes became tearful.
“Your Highness, please.”
That was how she’d appeal to me, in bed.
***
That day, when I opened the door to our bedroom, she was sitting on the pure white sheets, waiting for me with only black lacy underwear, garter belt of the same color, and ultra-thin stockings.
I stood in front of the bed, transfixed by that figure.
The buds of her breasts and the bushes at the base of her feet were visible through the fine lace fabric. The sheer seductiveness was just beyond words.
“Your Highness, please.”
Diana begged to be allowed to go out.
Before I could respond, she teasingly rearranged her legs, her black, satiny garter belt digging into her plump white thighs.
“Please, Your Highness.”
Diana begged even more.
Diana looked so adorable when she acted selfish.
I gulped.
If I refused to allow her to go out before, now I couldn’t possibly let her out because she was too adorable.
“If you won’t allow me, then tonight, I don’t want to do it.”
I was beginning to react when she puckered her cherry-red lips and stroked my crotch with her toes, her white skin showing through her black stockings.
My dick bounced inside my knight uniform.
“So, you still refuse to let me go?”
When she looked up at me, her round, ruby eyes moist with tears, it took everything in me not to pounce on her right then and there.
“Let me go, Rudolph.”
The moment my name escaped her lips, the battle was lost. As I swallowed and loosened the collar of my knight uniform, I told her yes.
I laid on top of my lascivious wife and nuzzled her neck. I sucked on her soft skin, then licked it, leaving a mark of possession.
“Let your hair down. Wear a dress that covers your neck.”
After saying that, I marked her all over. The scarlet marks scattered on her white skin made me tingle.
All of you belong to me.
“Stop being mean to me!”
Diana is cute even when she’s angry.
Her protest came to a halt, replaced by a moan as I sucked on her nipples and rolled them with my tongue through her lacy lingerie.
“Aah~”
I wouldn’t be able to stop after hearing that.
As I caressed and pleasured her entire body, her eyes became dull and listless. It was very gratifying.
“You look very tempting today as well.”
I left her underwear on to enjoy her divine appearance.
I planted a kiss on her folds, before licking her through the lace fabric. The tantalizing female scent made me lightheaded.
Moving the fabric, which was drenched in my saliva and her love juice, to the side, I slowly slid my finger inside her.
Stirring her warm insides while hearing her shallow breathing made me unable to think straight.
“How lewd you are, Diana. You’re dripping wet. It’s sucking on my fingers. Looks like I can put it in now.”
“Don’t say anything, weird… Aah! Aah…”
I pulled down her underwear and grinded my throbbing cock against her, making obscene noises on purpose.
I almost came from just grinding my tip against her. I guess I was really horny.
“I’ll put it in.”
The soaked lace fabric rubbed against the left side of my dick as I thrusted into her. It hurt, but also felt good at the same time. I might get addicted to it.
I savored her, rocking my hips as she panted.
Due to the shaking, her firm breasts spilled out from her bra. Her lower mouth swallowed me with her panties on, while her upper mouth spilled out my name.
“Diana, you’re so sexy, it’s against the rules…”
“Ah! Ru, dolph… Harder—”
Whenever my always dignified wife let loose, I always found her endearing.
I lifted her thighs, where the black ribbons dug into her white skin, and pounded her as hard as I could.
“Diana… I’m so… restless… Hah… Don’t let, anyone… touch you, all right? …You belong to me… Aah, you’re tightening again… You like it here, don’t you? Say it, Diana…”
“More… Rudolph, aah…”
“Diana…!”
Just like my thoughts, I ejaculated inside her. I wanted to conquer her.
You’re mine.
***
I didn’t have enough Diana these days.
It was difficult to interact with Diana during the day, as she left the castle and started attending tea parties and soirées.
At night, it was another story, but unfortunately, I’d be asleep by dawn.
I blushed when Diana told me that she loved the way I looked when I was asleep. Nevertheless, I still didn’t have enough of her.
“Is there more…?”
It was past evening, and documents were piled high in the office. I clicked my tongue and glanced at Raul, who stood next to me. In response, he burst out laughing.
“It can’t be helped. Your Highness has replaced the Chief Administrative Officer.”
The chief of the Bureau of Ceremonies, who was a bit of a nuisance due to his anti-Killua faction, was recently dismissed on suspicion of bribery.
“We don’t need morons who ask each country’s ambassadors to do something under the table.”
“So, like I said, it can’t be helped.”
“Why do you look so elated?”
“Lady Diana is having a party tonight. She still hasn’t returned to her room. Your Highness, do you know? Lately, it’s been said that the evening balls attended by Her Highness are crowded with people. As a result, the organizers are more than eager to invite Her Highness.”
Before I could eliminate anyone who would get in Diana’s way, she started to solidify her position on her own. Just as my mother had envisioned, she was talented and became the face of society.
“It should be obvious… And that’s why I don’t like it.”
Everyone noticed her charm.
—even though she’s mine.
“I heard there’s a banquet at Count Deidre’s residence tonight. Unfortunately, His Highness Rudolph won’t be able to attend.”
Raul was having fun at my expense. My veins bulged at the name I couldn’t ignore.
“…What did you say?”
Count Deidre’s second son was the most notorious womanizer in society and a waste of space. While I didn’t think that Diana would glance his way, I couldn’t let her breathe the same air as that man?
After Raul prepared a change of clothes, I immediately headed for the evening ball.
