Tales of a Seductress β Chapter 31
After those sexual exploits, her husband couldnβt say another thing, so he just nodded his head, still regaining his breath. I stood up, threw on my clothing, and headed back down in a rush. That had ended up taking a little longer than I had planned. I initially was just going to flirt a little, maybe suck a guyβs cockβ¦ I did not expect it to turn into that.
Either way, I jumped down the stairs and crossed the tavern lobby. As soon as I reached the door, I ran face-first into Devon. Min was standing just behind him. I almost felt like she was giving me an accusatory stare, but that must have been my imagination. I didnβt feel guilty about sex, but I did feel flustered like I might have some cum stringing from my nose or something. I hadnβt really checked to make sure I was presentable after the wild sex moments ago. Worse off, I probably smelled like sex too.
βThere you are!β Devon said with exasperation. βI take off for just a little while and when I come back your servant is alone and saying you came in here an hour ago and never came back! I thought someone might have kidnapped you!β
I let out a forced chuckle. βDonβt be silly, Iβm fine, see?β
Please Min, stop giving me that look, youβre my servant? Right? Youβre supposed to be on my side!
The prince pinched his nose. βFineβ¦ fineβ¦ I guess you didnβt wander off too far, but what are you doing?β
βAhβ¦ first, did you have any luck with the inns?β I skillfully deflected his question with a question.
He winced at the memory. βNoβ¦ none of those places seemed trustworthy. Iβm sorry, I just couldnβt find any place with enough cleanliness that Iβd trust them.β
βWell, thenβ¦β I stated, holding out my hands. βI secured us a spot for the night, see? Thatβs what I was doing?β
He looked at me suspiciously. βReally?β
βOf course, really!β Said a voice from the stairs. It was Danielle, she had a rich smile on her face, and was quickly straightening out her clothing as she approached. βI offered Cornelia our rooms. After hearing about your plight, itβs the least I could do!β
βOh, umβ¦ are you sure? Iβ¦ uhβ¦ canβt pay now, but I can pay la- β
βDonβt be ridiculous,β she beamed. βAny friend of Cornelia is a close friend of mine. Please, stay, relax, my home is yours.β
βHey! Weβve been waiting the last thirty minutes to be served, are you guys going to do anything?β A voice shouted from one of the tables.
βJust a minute,β she chimed back, not even taking her eyes off of me.
Yeah, even though she was talking to Devon, her eyes kept being drawn back to me while she beamed with a bright smile. Min was also staring at me, her face unreadable. Why do I feel like youβre judging me, Min?
Her husband also finally made it down, back in his clothing.
Danielle immediately shouted to her husband, βHusband! Do what you can for the other hosts, Iβll be making sureΒ CorneliaΒ is happy.β
The was an odd inflection when she said Cornelia, which hinted at the extreme obsession hidden in her eyes. Fortunately, Devon didnβt seem to notice. He seemed to be more apologetic, promising he would send money later. I also didnβt tell her my name, so she must have analysis. Eventually, I leaned over and whispered in her ear.
βCan you get us something to eat now and then keep your distance for a bit?β
βYes, my beautiful mistress,β she whispered back, bowed, and then walked away.
After she left for the back kitchen, Devon let out a breath in relief. βAhhβ¦ well, we have a nice place to stay, it seems, the hostess seems really nice, but doesnβt this all seem a little odd to you guys? I know there are nice people in this world, but it seems almost too good to be true.β
Min said nothing, but she was still staring at me. I simply smiled and shrugged.
βIβ¦ simply talked to her, told her about my situation. Itβ¦ turned out we had a lot in common, so we hit it off. Iβm sorry we ended up spending so much timeβ¦ talkingβ¦ we were justβ¦ enjoying ourselvesβ¦ just the company of another womanβ¦ that isβ¦ although her husband was there tooβ¦β I stumbled towards an explanation that approximated the truth.
Deception has increased to level 8.
Min sniffed and turned away finally while Devon nodded. MyΒ DeceptionΒ skill should get an award after this. With those accusatory eyes off of me, I could finally take a deep breath. The innkeeper and his wife, neither one exactly held up a calm front. He kept glancing between his wife and me, then shaking his head as if trying to convince himself what just happened actually happened. Meanwhile, his wife was staring adoringly at me from across the room. Fortunately, I had my back to the wall and Min and Devon were seated across from me, so they didnβt get a chance to see those looks.
True to her word, Danielle brought out a complete feast. It was roasted pork, these incredible vegetables that were sautΓ©ed splendidly, soft-baked bread, and more. She brought out wine freely, and I got the sense she was using the really expensive bottles. Her husband had gone stiff when he saw her pouring it. However, after getting the threesome of his dreams, he was no place to argue with his wife or the other woman that helped fulfill that fantasy.
Thus, we ate our fill. The finale was strawberries with whip cream. There was sugar in the cream, but I didnβt know the source of the sugar. Not wanting to draw Danielleβs attention and have her stare longingly at me, I decided not to ask.
After I was stuffed with as much as I could eat, Danielle came back to the table and while staring at me with hearts in her eyes, gave us our room arrangements. Devon nodded and took the key to his room, which was adjacent to ours. As a prince, he was probably used to being treated like royalty, so her overzealous behavior and generous offerings probably didnβt set off his radar as much as it might have a normal person. Her finest wine was probably what he normally drank, and the biggest room was probably cramped by his standards. At least he didnβt ask questions and took the offerings graciously.
βAlright, Iβm heading up. You stay in the inn, in the morning, weβll set out.β
βYes, sir.β I gave him a smirk.
He hesitated, sighed, and then gave a nod before turning and heading up the stairs. Oh, come on, I wasnβt that exhausting of a person.
βIβd like to get a bath as well before bed,β I told Danielle.
βOf course!β Danielle nodded excitedly. βIβll be happy to wash your back for you as well. Let us-β
βIβm Corneliaβsβ¦ my job.β Min suddenly spoke up.
Danielle looked aghast, but I tried to deflect the situation once again. βAhβ¦ she needs to take a bath too, and sheβs my servant so you donβt need to put yourself out.β
βOhβ¦β Danielleβs lips tightened a bit.
When Min turned away, Danielle stared daggers at Minβs back with an ugly expression until I elbowed her in the side.
I leaned over and whispered in her year, βIf youβre a good girl, Iβll treat you later!β
Danielle bobbed her head enthusiastically while drool was coming down her mouth. This satiated her enough that we were finally able to get towels and enter a private bathroom. As it turned out, this bathroom was much different than I was used to. Although it held similarities with Japanese bathhouses, I had only seen in passing from the one or two anime I had watched.
I wasnβt big into anime, but one or two RPGs I played had part of the story as anime, and thus I felt the need to watch them from time to time. Thus, I found myself sitting naked on a small little stool with a bucket of water and a bar of soap while Min washed my back.
As a girl who grew up in the west, bathing with others was something you stopped doing when you were four, and that didnβt suddenly become more comfortable now. It was a bit odd because if Min had been eating my pussy right now,Β Mental FortitudeΒ would have scoured away any shame or uncomfortableness. Apparently, being bathed wasnβt covered byΒ Mental FortitudeΒ as sexual enough, and for the first time since I came to this world, I felt a little embarrassed.
Eventually, my body was covered in suds, and then I dumped the hot water over myself to wash away the soap. Then, there was a very large tub, although it was basically a hot tub without the jets. Min and I hadnβt spoken since we got into the room. I probably should have offered to wash her back too, but I was already feeling uncomfortable. The silence was deafening, and all I could hear was the sound of Min scrubbing herself with a brush as I submerged myself in the hot tub.
After a moment, she dumped a bucket over her head and then submerged herself in the bath across from me. The uncomfortable feeling continued on, and I finally reached a point where I had enough. IfΒ Mental FortitudeΒ wouldnβt kick on and make me feel completely A-Okay, then I would just have to put myself in a position where it did work.
I slid to the other side of the hot tub, putting myself right next to Min. I reached out, just about to pull no stops in seducing Min and bringing the both of us to a satisfying conclusion, but suddenly I stopped. I dropped my hands and I let out a deep breath. It wasnβt that I wasnβt interested, but for the moment, I suddenly felt the intense need to confess. Min wasβ¦ in some ways, my closest link to the past I had. One of the few people that saw me, even if she never really talked or acknowledged me, before I truly started to change. In that way, Min was very important to me.
βMinβ¦β I started. βI have something to tell you, a lot of somethings, actually. Iβve told no one else this, but youβ¦ I feel like I can speak.β
βMmβ¦ trust,β she said simply.
βIβm from far away. Really far away. I only came to thisβ¦ placeβ¦ about two months ago. Iβmβ¦ how do I say thisβ¦ Iβm from another world.β
ββ¦β
βMy worldβ¦ there is no magicβ¦ no monsters. So, what do I do the first second, I get here? I get kidnapped by goblins. But then something happened. I had sex with the goblinβ¦ I took chargeβ¦ and somehow, that caused me to get this strange classβ¦β
I started explaining everything to her. I explained the seductress class, and why I wanted to have sex with her that first time. I told her about first-time bonuses, and about how my abilities worked based on my sex. I told her about the Bandit King and his ridiculous mission that turned me into a princess. I showed her the ring that I couldnβt remove. Then, I finished by explaining what I did to the innkeeper. I didnβt get into gory details about our threesome, I simply left it that I seduced her and made him go along with it.
βI justβ¦ I just needed someone to know. Youβre the first person I met in this worldβ¦ andβ¦ and I just donβt want you to hate me. I want you to understand me, more than anythingβ¦ andβ¦ andβ¦ please just donβt leave meβ¦β I suddenly broke down crying.
I half expected her to stand up and walk out of the room without saying a single thing. However, just as my tears started to fall into the hot tub, an arm wrapped around my shoulders. The elf girl pressed her nonexistent breasts against my arm, and she put her head comfortingly on my shoulder.
βSo, it was that,β Min said. βWhat doneβ¦ is done. Wonβt leaveβ¦ Ariaβ¦β
I closed my eyes and pressed my cheek upon Minβs head. A moment later, my hand landed on her thigh. I pulled it back, turning to give her an apologetic look. It really was a habit.
βIf Ariaβ¦ okay.β Min nodded, as if to herself. βPlease, gentle.β
My hand went back to Minβs thigh, and I slowly traced my fingertips up and down her body. We sat there for a bit, sighing as warmth seeped into our bones. But before long, my hands started moving over Minβs body. I was a seductress, after all, and I could never leave it at that.
