As the one-sided war ended and I followed the procession returning to Ciel, I pondered my future. Until now, I had rotated through the barracks staying with them, but sober, I couldn’t shamelessly continue doing so.

And, right on cue, the newly crowned Ciel Empire announced a large-scale recruitment of attendants and maids at the imperial capital. I let myself go with the flow and became a maid. Just to stay close to the commanders.

At the time, I thought it was the best decision. But now I often regret that I hadn’t just explained the situation and begged for forgiveness. Maybe then, I wouldn’t be tormented by this misery and guilt.

I stared blankly at the cascading water of the fountain and slowly stood up.

After becoming a maid, I had been exchanging letters regularly with my mother, but I had never asked about my grandmother or about my body, nor had she ever brought it up. Though never spoken aloud, it was a silent agreement we kept since the war ended.

But I steeled myself. I couldn’t live like this forever. There had to be a reason why the ring couldn’t be found no matter how thoroughly they searched the continent.

“…Let’s do this.”

I whispered quietly to myself, like a vow.

***

Two days passed quickly. After sending a letter to my mother and steeling my resolve, my body heated up slightly earlier than usual. I pressed gently on my tingling lower belly, let out a sigh, and lay down on the bed.

In an instant, I passed through the mirror and entered a building blanketed in cold air. I was so familiar with the path now that I could navigate it with my eyes closed, and my steps felt light as I headed to the place.

Soon, I stood before the door with the blue wolf emblem and pushed it open. Odile, expressionless, looked at me coldly and said, “You’ve been gone so long, I thought you’d finally given up and left.”

“Where would I go when I haven’t even found the ring yet? Were you maybe upset that I didn’t come by?”

“What nonsense…!”

Really, he’s older than me, yet still so cute. He shouted that I was being ridiculous, but couldn’t even finish his sentence and turned red instantly.

More than upset, he was probably frustrated and flustered from the heat in his body. Being so upright, he wouldn’t show it, but we had been sleeping together continuously, so it was natural.

“You always say one thing, but your body is honest.”

“…Ha.”

I gave a small laugh and pointed to his lower half, already visibly hardened. He scowled in frustration and embarrassment. At that sight, I unconsciously let the tentacles slither from beneath my feet.

Perhaps recalling the torment he’d suffered during our last night together, he grimaced. Then, with a sigh and hesitation, he said, “…Hey. I’ll do as you say, so just get rid of those.”

I had been pulling my dress down as I approached Odile, but stopped in my tracks and stared at him. It was surprising to hear that from someone who had never once cooperated, but I replied sulkily.

“Why?”

“Why, you ask…”

“Whether you resist or not, it makes no difference to me.”

That had been our relationship from the beginning. At my words, Odile looked utterly flustered. Maybe it was because I always told him to be honest. But oddly, I didn’t like how compliant he was becoming. As Odile’s arms and legs were bound by the tentacles, he tried to shout something, but I was quicker and swallowed his lips.

“Mmph, hhng…!”

“Don’t bite. If you keep that up, I’ll make it just like that night.”

As I slid my tongue into his open mouth, he bit down hard, prompting me to grumble slightly irritably. The tentacles, influenced by my emotions, undid his clothes and wrapped around his abdomen and thighs, making him obediently open his mouth again.

Rising on my toes, I embraced him and sucked his mouth as if trying to pull his tongue out. The sound of saliva, his held breath, and his desperate groans made my lower half throb. I could feel thick, honey-like fluid running down my thighs.

As I tightened my thighs and teasingly ran my hands over his neck and chest, I noticed Odile’s reactions were dull today. He wasn’t as prickly or sensitive as usual, nor did he resist much. He merely kept his eyes shut tightly. I hadn’t even gotten rid of the tentacles, so why was he so obedient?

“Did something happen?”

“If you’re going to do it, hurry up and get lost. Do what you always do, as you please. No matter how I act, it doesn’t mean anything to you.”

“Uh…”

Somehow, I felt troubled. Had this man ever said anything like that before? No, he wasn’t even the type to say such things in the first place.

Odile looked a little angry, and perhaps disappointed too. I stared at him, then put my fingers in his mouth, and without any resistance, he licked and sucked them. Unlike earlier, he didn’t bite. His thick tongue passed over my fingers and tickled my palm.

“…Ugh, are you really sulking?”

He didn’t even reply, just frowned quietly. I kissed him again and began undoing the buttons of his shirt one by one.

Every time my hand touched his bare skin, he let out a small sound. When I stripped off his shirt and reached lower, his penis had already grown so large that I could feel its shape vividly even without stimulation.

His face, flushed as he panted with ragged breaths and tightly shut eyes, looked excessively aroused. My belly tingled, and my thighs kept heating up.

“Why are you so excited?”

When I asked with a provocative smile, he moved enough to tighten the tentacles wrapped around him and looked at me with pleading eyes.

Maybe the charm was too strong. I had to take back what I said about disliking his submissive behavior. Now I was more curious to see how he would react once the charm wore off after an unforgettable night.

I removed all the tentacles binding Odile’s body. His pupils, now free to move, gleamed with a fiery light. In an instant, my body was flipped over, and I had to brace myself against the desk to keep from falling.

It happened in a flash. He pulled down his pants and thrust inside.

“Ahk!”

The massive, swollen penis plunged all the way into the deepest part in one go. My body trembled uncontrollably, and my breasts bounced. His strong hands twisted my nipples gently, and another hand invaded my mouth.

“Mmph, ha, mph…!”

He was thrusting hard with that enormous thing and groping my breasts without restraint; my vision blurred. Even though he was already deep inside, it still felt like there was room left. Then my body was flipped again. This time, with him still inside, the pleasure of his penis scraping my insides pushed me to climax. His explicit gaze as he looked down at my raised hips and shaking legs was too stimulating.

“Ah! Ah! Ju-just a bit more, ngh! Inside… Aah!”

My body, trembling on the desk, suddenly lifted. I instinctively clung to Odile’s burning body. As I hung onto him, now fully standing, his penis reached even deeper. The overwhelming pleasure made me instinctively move my hips, and in his excitement, he grabbed my twitching tail and began moving his hips.

“Hah! Ah, ah… ugh!”

Every time he tugged my tail, it felt like electricity surged from my pelvis to my back. With every thrust, his penis seemed to pierce my cervix.

Saliva dripped from my open mouth. He licked it all up and bit my lips.

“Ahh!”

Multiple climaxes left my head mushy. My inner walls contracted and relaxed repeatedly, multiplying the pleasure until I felt I might melt. But Odile didn’t stop. Without even ejaculating, he kept shaking me. White liquid from deep within squelched and dripped onto the floor.

As I hugged him tightly, afraid to lose him, his hands brushed against my nipples, and clear fluid began dripping from the tips due to overstimulation. He, who had been eagerly exploring my mouth, now lowered his head and bit into my right breast. He sucked so hard, it felt like he might drink everything that came out.

“Hngh, ah, aaah!”

“Huh!”

A split moan escaped me. The intense stimulation from above and below made me lose my voice and my vision go white. Each convulsion of my hips filled me further inside with semen.

“Ah, haa… huh, mm!”

Maybe it was because it had been a while. Even with my belly full, his ejaculation didn’t stop, and I came again.

With tears in my eyes, I embraced him. As I began to calm down, his hesitant hands touched my back. But then Odile started moving his hips again. It felt so good, I couldn’t endure it.

“Aah! Ah, ngh!”

Sparks flew at the edge of my narrowing vision. Gasping for breath, he laid me back down on the desk again. Normally, he hated me touching his belongings. What would he think every time he worked here and remembered what happened? Just imagining it was amusing.

White foam bubbled up below my navel. His hand, which had been toying with my nipple, slid lower, tracing a vivid mark. When I tensed my thighs, his hand moved further down and stopped at the swollen clit. As he kept thrusting, his thick fingers rubbed the clit as if peeling it.
