Chapter 267-268—Are You Crying? [R-18]
[POV Change]
'No way… Am I the only one mistaken?'
It was natural for such thoughts to arise in Kiella's mind.
It had been over twenty days since she last slept with Dayke, and there had been no sign from him. It was long enough to shake her confidence that everything had been done merely to tease him.
'In the meantime, he is still sleeping with the other elves. Maybe he has lost his interest in me…'
The moment a spark of doubt was ignited, the embers of anxiety grew stronger and stronger.
'Should I meet him in person and talk? … No. Maybe I'm worrying for nothing.'
She tried to control herself, but she couldn't shake the ominous thoughts. Eventually, she quietly left the room and headed toward his bedroom.
'I'm just going to take a quick look at what he's doing.'
She reached her destination after passing through a quiet hallway while everyone was asleep.
-Huh, Dayke…! It's deep there!
-Agnes!
The two moans were leaking through the closed door. The sound of their skin rubbing against each other was faintly audible.
Even though he was fucking another woman, Kiella knew it was too early to judge the situation based on that alone.
'… There's no need to be impatient. Let's wait and see.'
Kiella returned quietly to her own room while calming her anxious mind.
…
…
The next night, she visited Dayke's room again.
"Hey, Dayke. Do you like this posture? You can do whatever you want…!"
'Is it Rize today?' she wondered.
The following night brought another encounter.
"What happened? Be a bitch and tighten your asshole even more!"
"Ugh…♥! Okay!"
'This time, Nermedia…'
Another day passed.
"Haha, I feel good! Fuck me harder, Dayke…!"
'Now it's Iril…'
Everyone except herself seemed to be mingling with Dayke.
Although it was bitter, Kiella did not rush to judge. She spent the night with the other elves, quietly hoping that maybe it would be her turn next.
With no motivation to sort out her tangled thoughts, she trudged back to her room as the moon set and the sun rose once more.
The elf kingdom had no pressing schedules, leaving more free time than usual. Kiella wanted to calm her restless mind by stepping out into the garden for some fresh air. Instead, she found herself walking down the long hallway of the castle.
'Okay… He'll call me today. With the others, we all took turns.'
She tried to soothe herself, half hoping and half rationalizing. She shifted her weight from foot to foot. Then, as she turned the corner, she saw Dayke standing across from Agnes.
"Ugh..!"
Without realizing it, she pressed her body against the wall to hide. Soon, unwelcome words reached her ears.
"Agnes. Tonight… You remember, right?"
'Tsk…!'
It felt as if a hole had opened in her heart.
She had been certain it would be her turn this time. No, she had desperately hoped for it. Yet her shattered expectations now stuck in her heart like shards of glass.
'Why Agnes again and not me…??'
Her fists trembled with disappointment.
Despite her anger, she did not feel like extending what she had tightly held for Dayke. For some reason, the flood of emotions within her leaned more toward disappointment and sadness than betrayal.
"…Ah, thank you. Then, I'll go before I'm late for my appointment."
"Yes, have a good time."
Dayke waved and smiled brightly at Agnes as she left.
Seeing his cheerful expression, Kiella could no longer suppress her pounding heart. She stepped forward toward him, who was now alone.
…

[MC POV]
There was no special schedule today.
As I walked down the hallway without any particular purpose, someone approached from behind.
"Senior Dayke!"
"Fine?"
"Hey. Where are you going?"
"Can't you just let me go for now?"
Fine, who had been clinging to my back, suddenly fell to the floor.
"Oh, I'm sorry! I'm so happy to see you!"
She bent down, then stood up straight, revealing light, casual clothes instead of armor.
"It's okay. Come to think of it, today is a holiday for the Knights, right?"
"Yes! I was on my way to return the book I borrowed from the vice-captain!"
My gaze drifted lower than Fine's eyes. Her chest had grown noticeably, and her height had increased slightly.
Although she was not as developed as some other elves, I was surprised by her unexpected calmness when she had just hung onto my back.
'When we first met, her chest was just like an airport runway…'
Her casual clothes were made of thin fabric, which clearly showed off her curves.
'Is this even possible?'
After thinking about it for a moment, I immediately shook my head.
'What are you thinking about an elf who is like your younger sister?'
"Dayke, why are you staring at me like that?"
"Huh? It's nothing. Go quickly and see Rize. I'll be waiting."
"Yep! See you again!"
He walked down the hallway. With nothing to do, I was about to return to my room when I ran into Agnes.
"Agnes! Where are you going?"
"Dayke? A knight asked for supplementary training, so I'm on my way to help."
"You work hard even on your holiday."
"Since the Demon King disappeared, no monsters have appeared yet, but we cannot afford to let our guard down."
"That's true. By the way, Agnes. Tonight… you remember, right?"
"…Ah, thank you. Then, I'll go before I'm late for my appointment."
"Yes, have a good time."
Agnes left for work shortly after waving and greeting me.
"…Dayke?"
"Uh… Kiella."
As soon as I answered her call, I was overcome by a strange energy.
She had her head bowed, and her voice sounded unusually subdued. The cold feeling I sensed was real.
"What's going on?"
"…Are you with Agnes today?"
"Huh?"
"Have you abandoned me now?"
"What do you mean by that…?? Let's go somewhere and talk first."
I sensed that something was off, so I led Kiella into an empty room nearby.
"Speak slowly. What do you mean by suddenly being abandoned?"
"You were with Agnes a few days ago. After that, you spent time with Nermedia and Iril; isn't it my turn next?"
"Ah…"
"I guess I'm not needed anymore because there are so many elves to fuck with. So you just ignore me like this and don't even pay attention."
I roughly understood her feelings.
In truth, I had intentionally avoided laying a hand on Kiella after the Demon King's defeat. I wanted to tease her and see how she would react when she reached her limit.
It would have been nice to admit that.
The real reason was simpler—there was nothing I could do with her. Unlike the other elves, Kiella never actively sought attention or provoked anything. She stayed silent and minded her own business. Naturally, I paid her less attention.
'Let's clear up the misunderstanding first.'
"It's not like I've abandoned you."
"But you told Agnes to prepare tonight, right?"
"Agnes reminded me not to forget because she has a document to submit tonight."
"…Is that true?"
"It is. Go ask Agnes yourself."
Kiella's fierce attitude softened considerably.
"…But it still feels like you abandoned me."
"No, that's not true. Why would I throw away such an obedient slave?"
"You didn't throw me away…?"
"Yeah. Until now, it was just that the timing wasn't right."
"…"
Kiella suddenly turned her back to me and fell silent.
"Kiella?"
"…"
When she didn't respond, I stepped closer and looked at her face.
"Are you crying?"
"…I'm not crying, hehe…"
She whimpered and hurriedly wiped away the tears that kept forming.
Whether it was because I knew she would follow me no matter how much she cried, or because I found it amusing to see her force herself to cry out of pride, I started laughing without realizing it.
"What, you're crying, right?"
"I'm not crying!"
"Hey, you're crying. Why? Are you worried that I might have abandoned you?"
Perhaps embarrassed by our eye contact, Kiella turned away again. She was trying to avoid me.
"It's because you didn't fuck me. I worked so hard, hoping that someday you would call me."
It was refreshing to see a woman who always seemed so mature complain like a child.
"I think I should punish you for being a brat and not trusting your master."
"…It's okay. I'm not in the mood for that. Sigh!"
She held back her cries and grabbed her hips, which shook with each tremble of her shoulders.
"Well, it's up to me whether I punish you or not, right?"
"…"
She finally seemed a little calmer.
'So, what should I do now? It had been a while, and I wanted to try something different.'
'That's it!'
A good idea came to me as I pondered.
'I recently discovered a new magic that can be used as a ring of isolation.'
"Kiella, take off your clothes."
"W-where?"
"Are you trying to disobey your master?"
"Okay…"
She slowly began to undress. While her eyes were slightly puffy from lingering tears.
Her lips pouted as if she still felt disappointed, but I could sense she was secretly looking forward to it.
"…I took it off."
Kiella was completely naked. Even after all this time, her body remained one of the most captivating sights in the kingdom.
I used the Elf Dominating App to summon the Ring of Eternal Isolation, which I had obtained from a goblin wizard, and placed it on my finger.
"Come on, let's go out."
"Go out? Wait, huh…!"
I forced my finger inside her from behind, moving her reluctant body with mine. She stepped into the hallway naked, unable to escape as I guided her.
"Ugh, tsk… Wait a minute. It's a little… outside… Mmmmm!"
Kiella had never been in public within the royal castle.
Moreover, she was known as a composed Supreme Court Justice by the elves. There was no way she would be happy to be seen like this.
"What if someone comes? Please, let me go inside…!"
"Well, what do you think? At this point, you need to know you are my bitch."
"That's not right… Hehe!"
Her body stiffened, and she let out a short moan.
Suddenly, voices and footsteps echoed down the hallway. Two maids were walking this way, chatting with each other.
-"But the kingdom is peaceful these days."
-"I know. I'm really glad."
"Huh, Dayke! Hurry inside; we'll get caught if you do this!"
"I said it's okay."
As Kiella was whispering urgently, the maids drew closer.
Kiella closed her eyes tightly and resigned herself to waiting for the moment to pass.
Indeed, the maids walked past us, still chatting and ignoring us completely.
"Uh, what happened…?"
