Chapter 58: Deliciously Eating The Struggling Adventurer (Part 1)
And so, Lupetta was invited to my residence later that day.
「Young master, Lupetta-sama has arrived.」
Lupetta was treated as a guest in my residence since she responded to my invitation. The servants would also attend to her properly.
According to Tesh, she was currently in the bath.
「I see. Show her to my room once everything\'s done.」
「Understood.」
It was already past noon, but there was still some time before dusk. The current time was probably around three o\'clock.
It would probably be late by the time we finished having sex, so I instructed Tesh to prepare a delicious evening meal. Lupetta took a liking to the food here last time, and it wouldn\'t be bad to reward her for obediently responding to my invitation today.
While I was immersed in reading a book by the window lit by the sun, someone lightly knocked on the door. The servants here wouldn\'t knock in such a manner, so it was likely Lupetta. Just like previously, it was easy to tell that it was her based on the way she knocked.
「Enter.」
The door opened a second later after I gave permission.
Surprisingly, she was wearing a stylish two-piece dress instead of the usual babydoll dress. Considering that it was still bright outside, the two-piece was more suitable than a sexy babydoll dress.
The two-piece was a matching light purple with many pleats and strings, and a low-cut back. Dark blue crystal patterns were embroidered on the simple-looking skirt.
Perhaps sensing my observing gaze, Lupetta turned and covered her body.
「I have never worn a two-piece like this one… I feel like a rich lady, I\'m not used to this.」
Based on the design and material used, her outfit would be considered fairly expensive by normal standards. Even though adventurers with magic power had better financial situations, it doesn\'t change the fact that she was a commoner. If I remembered correctly, she was from a village called Vairburg or something. For someone who wasn\'t even born in the city, she\'d probably never even considered spending a large amount of money just for clothing. It was understandable when she said that she\'d never worn these kinds of fancy clothes before.
Back when I\'d just reincarnated, I also felt pained to spend a lot of money on clothing and armor. In my previous life, I was only an ordinary salaryman, and I was contented with cheap stuff. That was why I had quite a difficult time changing my perspective of money here.
「You look great in it even though it\'s your first time. Really beautiful.」
I stood up from the bed and held her waist.
「… That\'s not true.」
「I\'m not lying.」
「You\'re lying.」
「I\'m telling you the truth. You look very attractive.」
Lupetta looked strangely nervous, so I let her sit down on the bed first.
When I sat down next to her, Lupetta stood up and put some distance between us before sitting down again. Then, she turned her silver eyes on my direction, looking as though she wanted to ascertain something.
「Is there something you want to say?」
Lupetta opened her mouth slightly before shortly closing it again, hesitating whether to say it.
I adjusted myself into a position facing Lupetta, and gently pressed my palm on her flat chest. As expected, it was as flat as a pancake.
「Um…」
「Hm? If you have something to say, then say it.」
「Having an affair… are you really okay with this?」
What was she talking about? If she was talking about the fact that she was cheating on Mergin, I didn\'t really care. If she were to fall in love with me, then that wouldn\'t be bad too.
While I was trying to understand the meaning behind her words, Lupetta realized that she didn\'t explain enough, so she continued.
「That beautiful woman yesterday is your girlfriend, right? You shouldn\'t cheat on her…」
Now that she mentioned it, Minith and I met Lupetta at the church yesterday during our date. Lupetta seemed to have assumed that Minith was my girlfriend after seeing her being together with me.
While I quietly listened, Lupetta continued.
「That person looked like she really loves you.」
Apparently, Lupetta jumped to a conclusion after seeing Minith for the first time. She thought, Ah, did she also surrender her body for something? Or is she simply being threatened?
And then, after Mergin and the others had finished their business at the church and they were about to leave, there was a man and woman who were flirting in front of the church. What\'s more, the two went behind the church and started kissing each other passionately. Having peeked at everything that happened, Lupetta concluded that Minith was my girlfriend.
「You\'re in a serious relationship, right?」
After returning to the inn, Lupetta remembered the intense kissing scene and thought very hard about it. After racking her brain, Lupetta came to an amusing conclusion.
They are lovers who will eventually marry each other in the future. The woman looked like she wants to bear his child, too.
As a commander in the Quordentz Army, he has both status and money. He can get married any time he wants. Unlike knights, he is a commoner, so he can marry the person he really loves.
Perhaps the reason he wasn\'t aware about contraceptives was because that woman is keeping it a secret from him. Well, that woman looked the same age as me, so she would be over twenty-years-old by the time he turned adult and she could get pregnant with his child. It would be slightly late if that\'s the case, so perhaps that\'s the reason why she\'s getting desperate?
Apparently, that was how Lupetta thought about the situation.
I felt like she turned Minith into a black-bellied woman.
The average age for an ordinary woman to get married and pregnant was low, and that was especially the case for those who lived in small villages. Women who were over twenty-years-old and not pregnant yet were in the minority group. Considering that point, Lupetta might get counted in the minority group in her village. Perhaps she was also feeling impatient deep down.
Anyway, Lupetta believed that I was going to marry Minith sooner or later. Thinking up to that point, Lupetta suddenly thought. Wouldn\'t our relationship be considered as an affair?
Lupetta\'s explanation ended there, but I could tell why she told me all these things. Long story short, She\'s pitiful, so don\'t cheat on her anymore. Let\'s stop this relationship, okay?
I gently pinched Lupetta\'s nipple.
「Mmnn… I feel bad for her.」
Minith was a maid, and she was more knowledgeable on matters about nobles than most commoners. She was also aware that she could never become my official wife.
In the first place, the servants in the castle knew that I bought a sex slave. Even though there was no official announcement, a beautiful elf had been bought so suddenly. It was easy for them to guess the reason she was bought.
Minith also knew that I was having sex with other women, so there was no problem even if I slept with Lupetta. Lupetta believed that I was a successful commoner, so she never considered the common practice of nobility and thought that I was just having an affair.
However, this misunderstanding was convenient for me, so I decided not to correct her.
「Lupetta, it\'s your fault for being so attractive. I didn\'t really want to cheat on her, but
you seduced me.」
I groped her flat chest and rubbed her tight ass.
「… That\'s, not true.」
「You really think that I\'m lying? That I\'m not attracted to you?」
Lupetta remained silent.
During the first time we had sex, I complimented her again and again, and I even stated my reason for saying them. The reason she couldn\'t honestly take the compliment was probably due to her complex.
「It doesn\'t matter even if I love another woman. Let\'s just enjoy this moment, okay? You and I, we are both cheating on the person we love. See? Let\'s get along well and comfort each other. Don\'t worry, Mergin definitely won\'t find out about our relationship. 」
Lupetta silently looked down.
She thought she could escape from our relationship after explaining things. However, forget about escaping from our relationship, she was even treated as a companion in this affair.
「Please, don\'t ever tell this to Mergin.」
Lupetta turned a resolute gaze, so I smiled at her and grabbed her hand.
She also asked the same thing last time, but she probably asked again just to make sure.
「No problem. However, you\'ll have to be honest when you\'re together with me, understand? If you tell any lie, then our agreement might turn into a lie too. 」
「… Got it.」
Lupetta nodded thoughtfully with her eyes remaining serious.
I closed the distance between us and gently hugged her. She was small and cute.
「What made you feel good last time? Tell me about it.」
「It\'s embarrassing, I cant say it.」
… So she wasn\'t going to deny that she felt good.
