In a darkened room, a man and a woman lay on the same bed, just after a passionate moment.
“Haaa… ”
Feeling a little tired, the woman sighed.
Isolda Evergarden.
She, who had been indulging in intimacy to her heart’s content just moments before, felt a satisfaction as if her lower abdomen was full and showed a light smile on her lips.
While watching Isolda’s appearance, Bahamut asked her in a cautious voice.
“What’s going on, Isolda?”
“Huh? No, there’s nothing special, why?”
“No, it’s just… ah, never mind.”
“What is it?”While saying that, Isolda turned her head away from Bahamut and lay down. However, inside, Isolda felt a little embarrassed.
‘Umm… I wonder if it’s been a bit excessive lately? As usual, when I play with her, I get a little excited, so I end up becoming a bit more…demanding.’
Although she was involved with Princess Leira, Isolda had no hom0sex*ual interest. Because of this, even in the process of harassing her doll in various ways, Isolda had never directly been intimate with her. However, apart from that, it was unavoidable that her body reacted to the situation in front of her.
‘Yes, but… how long will I keep it hidden like this? If the tail is long, it will be stepped on, and I will surely get caught in some way…’
Even though she was worried about it, Isolda couldn’t find the courage to tell the truth. It wasn’t a simple matter of being scolded by Bahamut for this. What she feared more than anything else was the one-in-a-million possibility.
If… really if… Bahamut might still be in love with that woman…she had such concerns.
To be honest, she knew that this was an unlikely scenario. There was no way that Bahamut would like a traitor who tried to sell out her own country. However, from the time he had no way to know such a series of facts, Isolda noticed that Bahamut had already shown a little interest in Leira.
It must have been a feeling derived from liking, Isolda thought so, and when he learned that woman’s true identity through a series of events, Isolda was convinced that Bahamut had absolutely no attraction for this woman in his heart right now. He couldn’t…
‘Come to think of it… this is pretty funny too. There are two women who are already in a deeper relationship than I am, but I’m just clinging to something like this…’
Even Ophelia had a strong relationship with Bahamut, and Bertina seemed to be preparing something by sending letters and gifts filled with affection on a regular basis.
By Bahamut’s side, there were already two women with whom he shared a deeper love than Isolda.
In fact, the relationship between the two and Bahamut was such that anyone could call them lovers, and in fact, such a story was being openly heard in public. Compared to them, Isolda herself was in a position where her position was one step lower.
The situation had gotten much better since Yuria had helped her a while ago, but unfortunately, Isolda still vaguely felt the wall between herself and Bahamut.
‘Come to think of it, I think this is jealousy in its own way. I’m even more concerned about new competitors appearing because I’m lagging behind others…’
Suddenly, she thought it would be better to convey her feelings to Bahamut herself instead of staying like this. Even at this moment, the man lying beside her was looking at her. If she put her mind to it, she could talk as much as she liked. That she liked him. It might sound stupid, but she hoped he would accept her feelings.
‘Well… Yuria has been talking about similar things all along…after all, it might be better that way…’
With that thought in mind, Isolda slowly turned her body to face Bahamut. Right after that, she found him staring straight at her.
“Yes? What’s the matter?”
Unlike before, her mood was slightly different. So, Isolda opened her mouth in a slightly choked voice.
“Ba…Bahamut.”
A name she had already been called countless times. But today, for some reason, it felt quite different from usual. The moment that name was called, Isolda’s heart began to beat uncontrollably. With the sound of her own heart coming through her soft gown, Isolda suddenly began to feel her face turn red.
“That… that… so… I mean… actually I…”
It was difficult for Isolda to speak. However, no matter how hard she tried, no matter how much she squeezed her mental strength, Isolda couldn’t possibly say the next thing.
‘What… what is this… why the hell… I’ve already been intimate with him before. But why…’
He was a man with whom she had already been in an intimate relationship just a few minutes ago. She wanted to tell that man that she loved him. That she had been admiring him all along.
But…
“Ah… no! Nothing!”
With those words, Isolda turned around again. Despite gathering her will, Isolda was unable to speak.
As for the reason, she could give all sorts of excuses, such as her past behavior, her disappointing body, and her temperament that was still not very good. To be honest, aside from those little things, there was only one big reason.
She was just shy. She was too shy to tell a man her true feelings. The fact that she couldn’t bring it up because of such a trivial reason came as a considerable shock to Isolda, but it was a fact that couldn’t be denied.
‘What is this…why am I…like this…’
Feeling helpless from discovering a slightly different personality of herself, Isolda started to shed tears.
Meanwhile, looking at Isolda, Bahamut suddenly thought of something and began to smile slightly without knowing himself.
‘What is she doing…doesn’t she have a pretty cute side?’
With her face flushed red, Isolda was showing so much shame that it could be felt through her skin. Seeing her like that, Bahamut began to recall the matter Yuria had told him before. It was the matter that Isolda liked him.
Although at the time, he was a bit dubious while listening to the circumstantial evidence, as he observed Isolda’s appearance in the meantime, Bahamut was gradually convinced. That she, Isolda Evergarden, had affection for him in her heart.
‘Looks like, she wanted to about that today… ha ha ha, is she feeling shy? Well, I’m not in a hurry, so should I wait a little longer? I want to see this woman finally succeed in confessing while feeling ashamed.’
While thinking that, Bahamut slowly hugged Isolda’s body in front of him. He hugged her with affection, not for pleasure.
Isolda felt a bit surprised by his actions, but still had a slight smile on her lips. She didn’t know the exact reason, but as a woman, being held in the arms of the man she loved was definitely the only thing that made her happy.
‘I’m going to tell you… I failed now… but… someday… someday for sure…’
***
Schedules often twisted unexpectedly.
As a result, people went to places they would not normally go, and there were also cases where unannounced guests visited. In that respect, Bahamut’s schedule today had been quite twisted.
‘Haa… I really am. There are still many things to be concerned about, but when it comes to this…’
There was a sudden error in the paperwork. Because of that, Bahamut hurriedly visited Isolda’s mansion to find her.
Originally, she stayed in Bahamut’s basement, but as he couldn’t keep the head of the administration in such a place, Bahamut prepared her own place near his mansion.
Seeing Bahamut enter Isolda’s mansion in such a hurry, the servants began to express a little embarrassment.
“Mr. Ba… Bahamut? What are you doing here?”
“I came to find Isolda, but where is she now?”
“Ah… I… that is…”
The servants somehow seemed bewildered.
Bahamut felt doubtful about this and spoke in a determined voice.
“What is going on? Guide me to her right now.”
Feeling a little worried, Bahamut gave the order, and the servant, while hesitant, began to guide him.
And the place…
“What… why is Isolda in a place like this…”
“Umm…for more details…please go in yourself…”
“Um…”
Servants spoke in embarrassed voices.
In response, Bahamut slowly descended the stairs, thinking there must be something suspicious.
