A mansion with an antique atmosphere.
It felt different from the one I lived in.
It had the air of a place where nobles reside.
“Thank you for inviting me.”
“No, I wanted to see you at least once.”
A luxurious tea set was on the table.
Sitting across from me was Milleille.
Her silver hair looked calm.
Her noble aura clearly marked her as an aristocratic lady.
‘She’s not just any ordinary noble.’
She had charisma-a rather unique kind.
Not the type who dominates openly like a general,
but someone skilled at subtly handling people.
“Is there something on my face?”
“No. You’re so beautiful, I couldn’t help but look.”
“Oh my... I don’t know what to do with myself, being complimented by the hero.”
There was a practiced smile in her eyes.
We were both observing each other’s reactions.
“It’s nice to see such beauty, but may I ask why you invited me to your mansion?”
“Ah... I think that’s actually a question for you.”
“...?”
I looked at Milleille with a puzzled expression.
“Weren’t you the one who originally invited me?”
“Ah... that’s true.”
“Of course, I understand your reason for inviting me. My knight... well... tried to infiltrate and got caught, right? First, let me apologize for that.”
Milleille stood up from her seat.
And bowed with a polite gesture.
There was nothing to criticize about her manners.
She embodied the grace of a noblewoman.
But there was something that caught my eye.
Her dress was cut low at the chest,
and as she bent forward, it naturally drew my gaze.
The subtle valley of her cleavage was enticing.
“You don’t need to worry about it.”
“That puts me at ease.”
Milleille sat down again.
Just sitting down changed the atmosphere completely.
“Then... may I ask why you called me here? I doubt it was just to receive an apology.”
“Couldn’t it have been to confront you?”
“Heh... You seem rather calm for that.”
“You’re sharp. It seems tricks won’t work on you. The truth is, I came to negotiate.”
Milleille’s eyes didn’t waver.
She reacted as if she had expected it.
She was too composed.
As a lord, she wasn’t an easy opponent.
“Negotiate... what kind of negotiation?”
“I came to ask if you could help me.”
“Ah... so you came to ask if I’d be willing to join hands with the Demon King?”
I flinched without realizing it.
Eintri couldn’t have told her the secret-she was bound by a contract spell.
Yet, the woman before me hit the mark exactly.
‘She must have known.’
This wasn’t just probing.
She was sure I’d joined hands with the Demon King.
“You’re not just bringing this up as a joke, are you?”
“I figured it out after seeing Eintri’s condition.”
“You figured it out from her appearance?”
“I was already suspicious. I thought maybe the hero had joined hands with the Demon King.”
“So it looked unnatural.”
She must have noticed the change.
Eintri isn’t good at hiding secrets.
But it was still impressive-most people would have missed it.
“It was hard to pretend not to notice after being around her for so long.”
“Does inviting me to your mansion mean you’re willing to cooperate?”
“Hm... who knows?”
Milleille smiled playfully.
Her boldness made her even more beautiful.
“If you don’t cooperate, I’ll be in quite a bind.”
“If you tried to harm me now, I’d just be a helpless woman, wouldn’t I?”
“That’s true. Which is why your invitation is even more meaningful, especially coming from someone like you.”
She clearly invited me knowing everything.
There weren’t even any guards waiting nearby.
She was certain I was working with the Demon King.
“Thank you for the compliment. As you guessed, I invited you because I want to cooperate.”
“You’re not angry about what happened to your subordinate?”
“I expected it to some extent. Besides...”
Milleille paused and met my eyes.
Her deepening smile was captivating.
“She seems to enjoy it, so it shouldn’t matter. Don’t you think?”
“You’re quite mischievous.”
She clearly knew everything.
She invited me knowing full well.
Her noble demeanor hid a playful nature.
“I’m not as mischievous as you, hero.”
“That’s probably true... I suppose I have no right to talk after what I did.”
“It was my mistake for sending her in the first place, so let’s just let this go.”
She acted as if it didn’t matter at all.
But it didn’t feel like she was abandoning her subordinate.
She seemed to view the change positively.
“You’re not asking me to return her to how she was.”
“Eintri is so upright-she’ll be helpful. It’ll be good to have a close bond with an ally.”
“Hearing you say that makes me want to cooperate even more.”
“Shall we get to the main point, then?”
Milleille’s gaze turned serious.
She wanted a clear answer.
“Did you join hands with the Demon King?”
“Yes. I did.”
“Then... may I ask why?”
“Because the king betrayed me. To be precise... he tried to eliminate me out of anxiety.”
“Hearing it directly, I can see what kind of situation it was.”
Milleille already knew the general circumstances.
It wasn’t hard for her to guess my situation.
She probably suspected before we even met.
“Didn’t you receive orders from the king?”
“I did. He told me to be careful, as I might become a traitor.”
“He wasn’t entirely wrong.”
“So if we cooperate, that makes me a traitor too?”
She didn’t look like someone plotting treason.
She looked more like a girl who’d discovered something interesting.
“That’s right. So, can you cooperate?”
“Ah... that’s a problem. If I refuse, you might treat me very harshly...”
She didn’t actually think that.
Instead, she looked at me with a sultry gaze.
To me, it felt like she was seducing me.
She didn’t look at all afraid of being “punished.”
If I wanted, I could have her... The subtly seductive mood was unmistakable.
“Considering everything, it’s in my interest to join hands with you, hero... but we still lack trust.”
“Then what should I do?”
“Hm... I suppose it would be good to do something that builds trust between a man and a woman.”
Milleille leaned over the table.
It was a blatant gesture.
Her chest was boldly emphasized.
“There are ways to deepen the bond between a man and a woman.”
“Is that so? I’m a virgin, so I don’t really know about such things. Will you teach me? With your body...♥”
Saying she didn’t know was an obvious lie.
She was drawing me in, fully aware.
“Teaching you isn’t hard. But is it okay if I do it here in the mansion?”
“Don’t worry. I was expecting this.”
It was probably because of Eintri.
In other words, she expected to be taken.
Whether to call her bold or provocative, I’m not sure.
But for me, it was a good thing.
An invitation from a beautiful noblewoman-on a different level from ordinary invitations.
It felt like she wanted to be thoroughly immersed in pleasure.
“For someone who claims not to know, you’re very thorough.”
“Hehe... It’s easy to imagine a close man and woman cooperating.”
Milleille pulled at the fabric over her chest.
Slowly, her white skin was revealed.
Her pink areolas appeared instantly, and her small nipples peeked out.
Milleille’s nipples were cute and provocative.
“Do you like this sort of thing, hero?”
“I do. Very much.”
I answered with a smile, honestly.
There was no need for a fake answer in front of her.
It didn’t feel like a transaction-she was enjoying it too.
“I’m on your side now... so I should do lots of things you’ll like.”
“It’s amazing you’ve been a virgin until now.”
“Well... I just hadn’t met the right man. But now... things seem a little different...♥”
“Shall we go to the bedroom, then?”
Milleille stood up first.
Her approach was playful,
but beneath the playfulness was a subtle excitement.
“Now that we’re partners, if you need anything, just ask. Anything at all...♥”
“I imagine Eintri must have had a hard time serving you.”
“Don’t you think I had a harder time because Eintri was so stiff?”
“That might be true.”
It was impossible for Eintri to satisfy me.
She was fundamentally a stiff knight.
Though, she’s changed a lot because of me.
“Can I make a request before we go to the bedroom?”
Something popped into my head.
What would it be like if this bold noblewoman’s clothes disappeared?
“You look like you’re thinking something mischievous.”
“Exactly.”
We exchanged secretive smiles.
