The Marquis’ Eldest Son’s Lascivious Story-Chapter 298 - Parent-Child Reunion

Before I knew it, I had already done it three times with Raeve.

I was once again impressed by my body's ability to do so many things in such a short span of time. It's great being yo ung.

Thanks to that, the whole room was filled with the lingering smell of mating. If I stayed here like this, I would go crazy.

Satisfied with the sight of Raeve lying there exhausted and dripping with semen, I ordered the maids waiting outside t o clean up.

[Well, everything was fine, right?]

I asked the older maid who was the head maid of this mansion.

This time, when I embraced Raeve, I didn't use magic to spread my goodwill like I did before. I was in danger a few tim es along the way, but I held on with determination and guts.

[Yes, thank you very much.]

During the battle of Othelloria in the Snake's Jaw strategy, I accidentally spread my goodwill to Romilie. After all, Spier zeig's side admitted defeat, but this was a huge accident of emotional leakage.

And naturally, those involved with Quordenze are taking this incident very seriously. How I act in the future will likely c hange how I treat Raeve.

In that sense, it was a great achievement that I was able to hold back this time.

However, I still think that letting my emotions get too excited during sex is dangerous.

Raeve's magic is filled with thoughts like, "I love you, master♡ I want you to return the same feelings of affection♡". L oving and wanting to be loved are two sides of the same coin.

And when you are exposed to those feelings, you naturally want to return the affection. If you are constantly subjecte d to heightened emotions, your spirit and stamina will be worn down.

Once again, I'll tell Raeve to refrain from spreading her affection.

It was probably because she had a while since we last met that she did it on a whim, but if this continues, the servant s will surely start to give her some scolding. I might be tempted and let my emotions out.

Once she was done with her business, and the room was ventilated, we were able to have a little chat, so I decid ed to start the conversation.

[There's something I want to tell you.]

[What is it?]

Seeing Raeve tilt his head, completely unguarded, made me feel nervous.

If I told her the wrong thing, everything would fall apart. I calmly read out the script I had drilled into my head.

[First of all, I want to say that I truly care about Raeve. Please keep this in mind as you listen to what I have to say.]

She looked a little embarrassed at the beginning of the line, but her expression turned serious as she seemed to sense that we were about to start a serious conversation.

[I'm glad to hear that from you, Master.]

[So basically, I'm not angry or anything, and I won't blame you or drive you away or anything like that. I want you to st ay by my side from now on. Is that okay?]

[……yes…]

It seemed that she thought that something undesirable was about to happen. Raeve's expression stiffened obviously. To reassure her, and to make sure she didn't lose her grip, I put my hand on top of hers.

[It seems that I was deceived by unscrupulous merchant. I was told that you were 18 and unmarried, but that was a lie.]

Raeve visibly panicked. She tried to pull her hand back, so I used my strength to stop her.

[……a.a…t-that's…]

Her face turned pale, and her shoulders were shaking.

She was trying to speak somehow, but no meaningful words came out. She just kept gulping and chomping, like a gol dfish suffering from lack of oxygen.

[…M…M…Master…]

In collusion with the slave trader Doran, I bought Raeve by lying about her identity as an 18-year-old unmarried girl. Ot herwise, she would have been sold off as a sex slave for the military. To protect herself, she told me a big lie. It was a truth that she must never be exposed.

Well, I was the one who prepared the scenario and the setting.

[It's okay. I'm not angry.]

She was so upset that I felt sorry for her, so I put my other hand on her shoulder and smiled.

[I know that Raeve couldn't resist in your position. Raeve did nothing wrong.]

Yes, I am the one who is at fault. I'm not being self-deprecating or humble or anything.

But I was the one who rescued her from slavery, so I'd like to think of this as a wash and let it all go.

[He probably said that you were an unmarried girl to raise the price even a little. What a greedy merchant.]

And I made the slave trader Doran take all the blame.

This was already arranged as one of the endings of the play. There's no way I'm going to attack Galliana for revenge, so this won't cause any problems.

Anyway, I'll proceed with the story with the assumption that I'm the victim of a scam.

[……l…]

Raeve kept her head down, her shoulders shaking, and she wouldn't look at me.

She must be wondering if I'm really not angry, and how she'll be treated after this. Can't help but worry about that.

[It must have been hard to keep such a lie for so long. You don't have to worry. I'll never abandon you. Raeve. W e'll always be together.]

Even when I say that, her smile doesn't return. Words aren't what she needs now.

In Raeve's village, they often use magic to communicate their feelings. That's what she needs now to calm her down.

This is the crucial moment. Since we are not having sex, I think I will be able to control my magic powers well.

I mixed my feelings of affection into my magic power, reduced the power output to the limit, and released it.

[A…ah♡]

[Do you trust me?... I will get scolded if I do that, so please forgive me for only doing it once.]

The scale of the spread was still larger than I expected.

It didn't reach the entire mansion, but I think my release of magic power reached at least the maids and guards in the h allway.

I made an excuse, but if I was unlucky, I might get a lecture later.

[Yes… I trust you, Master.]

But the effect was tremendous.

She leaned against me with watery green eyes and sighed in relief. The trembling of her shoulders and hands had co mpletely stopped.

It was a relief that I had prevented the worst-case scenario of Raeve going out of control.

[That slave trader caused a lot of trouble... or rather, we had to take a detour.]

[Detour?]

[I didn't know Raeve's true age or background. Because of that, I had a lot of misunderstandings.]

The servant standing outside the room silently relayed information to me with my hand. It was a signal that had been d ecided before we came here.

It seems that the preparations were completed as planned.

I was surprised that so much time had passed, but there should be no problem if I gave the go-ahead.

I moved my finger to give instructions to bring Eve in.

====================

[Even though it's evening, there are so many people here...]

Eve's first impression of Nambonan City was that it was "full of people."

Looking out the carriage window at the main street, she was a little put off by the sight of the denser crowds of people than in Newnelly City. The Land of Fog is a remote and unexplored place with few people, and for someone from the v ery countryside, this density is a bit surprising.

[Mechu, look out as well.]

So Eve called out to the girl riding with her in the carriage.

Mechu was a maid who was expected to be Eve's friend. As they were the same gender, of similar age, and both had magic at lord-class level, the two quickly became friends.

[My Lady, if you show your face too much, you'll stand out.]

The carriage Eve and her friends were riding in was a private rental. If they used a carriage that clearly showed they w ere related to Quordenze, curious Nambonan citizens might approach them.

At the back of the rental carriage, there was a seat surrounded by a U-shaped wall. It was convenient to draw a tempo rary curtain in front to hide her figure, so it was prepared as Eve's seat. But opening the window and looking outside w ould be counterproductive.

[…hmm.]

Elves are extremely rare in Nambonan City. Eve somehow understood that if they are noticed, it can become trou blesome.

[Please close the window. The tour is over.]

Mechu's behavior was more formal and cold than usual. But, it can't be helped.

There were also guards in the carriage they were riding in. They were excellent Lord-class soldiers selected from the Quordenze army.

To the young Mechu, they were like superiors and seniors, as they came from powerful knight families. Naturally, she couldn't be happy and say "Nambonan city is amazing" with Eve. She couldn't help but be nervous.

[There is an army stationed here, but we must remain vigilant.]

The hostile group known as the Ashen Knights are targeting Eve and Raeve, so they can't let their guard down. After al l, Wilk himself had given strict orders not to make the mistake of getting kidnapped while traveling.

Eve's transportation was handled with the utmost care. When traveling from Weldburg to Nambonan, there was an esc ort force that could kill a small city in an instant.

[Ye–s.]

Eve reluctantly closed the window, but that alone was not enough to shut out the outside information.

The guards sat in silence, and with Mechu now acting as a faithful maid, there was plenty of sound coming in from the other side of the walls and curtains.

Eve, who had too much time on her hands, put her ear to the wall of the carriage and began to listen to the voices of p eople passing by in the city.

[…the Mayor?]

She frequently heard conversations such as the Mayor had arrived and the Mayor was here.

Mechu responded to Eve's monologue-like voice.

[They are talking about the Young Master. The citizens of Nambonan highly respect him. I hope you will keep that in m ind, my lady.]

[I see.]

Eve naturally accepted her words.

To her, Wilk is a very difficult person to evaluate. Her first impression of him was the worst, a cruel and ruthless rapist, but her perception of him has improved significantly, or rather, become distorted. The reason is simple: every one around her sees Wilk in a favorable light.

This tendency was particularly strong in Weldburg City, where she had been on a business trip until recently, and in th e Arknos Contaminated Area. The former citizens of Spzerzeig, who had become the new citizens of Quordenze, and t he Nambonan soldiers praised Wilk as if he were a saint.

There is a huge gap between the Wilk that Eve knows and the Wilk that others know.

Every time she faces this gap, she begins to suspect that "maybe I'm the one who's wrong", and she suffers alone.

However, she could not talk to anyone about her worries.

If she told the members of the Quordenze family, she would be given a long lecture. And she could not bring herself to tell Mimion or Minith, "Our master is a rapist. It is emotionally difficult to say bad things about a rapist. It was emotionally difficult to say bad things about him, as they adored Wilk.

For better or worse, Eve was a girl who could read the mood.

As she asked herself these questions, she eventually became accustomed to the discrepancy itself.

The fact is that Wilk's people had guaranteed her a life as a member of a different race who had been driven out of he r homeland, and that Wilk's people had guaranteed her a life as a member of a different race who had been driven out of he r homeland, and Wilk's concubines, with whom she had many opportunities to talk, were spending their days happily in their villa.

Even when she heard that Wilk was highly esteemed in Nambonan City, she merely thought, "Oh, so it's true here too".

[It's been a while since Operation Jaw. It seems the Young Master is really looking forward to meeting you, young lad y.]

[Y, yes.]

The image of Wilk attacking with raw animal lust came to her mind. The thought of being forced to do something again st her will again makes Eve's body unconsciously stiffen.

However, she no longer had any intention of resisting.

It had been over a year since she came to the Quordenze family, and for better or worse, she had gotten used to life h ere. She had also learned that obediently following orders would cause her less damage in the end. In addition, consid ering the current situation where she had asked them to find her mother, it would be a bad move to show resistance n ow.

Also, Wilk's attitude has changed recently, as he has started spreading goodwill.

Hopeful that he will be kinder to her, she thought it would be better to continue to not resist.

After seeing Eve's reaction and deciding that there was no problem, Mechu decided to move to complete the homewo rk from Wilk.

If she could handle it well, she would be remembered by her superiors. This is the critical moment. She casually took a deep breath and re-energized herself.

[I'm going to tell you something important now.]

After getting Eve's attention, she continued.

[There is a girl in this city who is in the same situation as you, my lady. She was supposed to be an unmarried young gi rl, and the Young Master bought her. This happened some time after you came to Quordenze.]

[…She might be someone I know.]

There were a few young unmarried girls in Eve's village.

Eve mentioned the name of a possible person, but Mechu shook her head to deny it.

[No, that's a different name. Apparently the girl was treated very badly by the man who took her in after the attack by Levios' army. The slave trader Doran told the Young Master about her history in a humorous way...]

Hearing the name of the slave trader Doran made Eve feel sick.

It was a story that was not unrelated to her. The pain that she endured as a slave came back to her mind, and she shiv ered.

[Our Young Master was heartbroken when he heard about her situation. He wanted to save her somehow, so he decid ed to take her from the slave trader. The girl was very grateful, and now she lives happily in Nambonan City.]

That was an unexpected twist for Eve. She had imagined that the girl had been raped, just like she had been.

[…Is that so?]

[Maybe Young Master was regretting his encounter with you, my lady.]

Her life had been ruined by the Levios army, and she had also been raped in the Quordenze territory... she had experi enced that sorrow firsthand.

So Eve was relieved that the girl she had taken in had not had the same experience as she had. She thought it would b e a happy thing for her to be able to trust Wilk completely from the start, without ever doubting him.

It felt like she was the only one who had lost out, but Eve was still satisfied.

Mechu decided that Eve's understanding was progressing in the desired direction, and decided to finally get to the he art of the matter.

[The girl's name is Raeve.]

[Eh!?]

Eve's eyes widened when she heard the name of her biological mother, even though they had been talking about a yo ung unmarried girl.

[Yes, she has the same name as your mother.]

"That's a really strange story", Mechu said to Eve in a tone that seemed to empathize with her.

Eve was taken in by this and nodded in agreement, waiting for the rest of the story calmly and without panicking.

[I can't say this out loud, but it seems like that Doran committed fraud... From his experience selling the young lady to t he Young Master, he probably thought he could sell this girl for a higher price as an unmarried woman rather than as a married woman.]

Here again, the argument that Doran is the bad guy unfolded.

And since Eve didn't have a single good impression of Doran, she immediately accepted this reasoning.

[So the search for my mother...?]

[Rather than saying we are still looking for her, I think it would be more accurate to say we had already found her.]

Eve's train of thought froze for a moment at this unexpected turn of events. She was happy, but the developments we re so sudden that she couldn't keep up.

And as if to guide her thoughts, Mechu continued to explain. Everything was going according to Wilk's instructions.

[Don't you think it's strange? My lady had asked the Young Master to search for your mother, and he had agreed. So why had he kept quiet up until now?]

Before Eve started to feel suspicious, Mechu decided to voice her doubts and take the initiative. Eve felt that this was certainly true, and nodded silently.

[Young Master had heard from Doran that Miss Raeve was unmarried. That's why he probably had no idea that my lad y was her real daughter. In addition, Miss Raeve was deeply scarred, so she was reluctant to talk about her past. It see ms that she had been through a terrible experience...]

[Uhh...]

Raeve was being raped by many soldiers right in front of Eve's eyes. Just remembering the scene made her feel like s he was going to vomit up what she had eaten at lunch.

She felt that it was only natural consideration not to dig up that past, and that Wilk was surprisingly kind for being so c onsiderate.

[But, I think he can tell from her name that she's indeed my mother.]

[Young Master said that you have never told him your mother's name directly.]

[Eh...? Is that so?]

Eve lost confidence when it was stated so bluntly.

Basically, she did mention about her mother. But at the same time she couldn't remember a time when she had ever to Id Wilk that her mother's name is Raeve.

[I'm sure I told the civil officers before we went to the Royal Capital...]

That's right, Mechu confirmed Eve's words.

[But back then, my lady's behavior wasn't very good. The civil officers wondered if it was okay to accept her selfishne ss despite that. It might have a negative impact on the Young Master. Forthat reason, they decided to keep it a secret until the young lady showed signs of improvement.]

Eve had already heard from Wilk that if she was rebellious and had a bad reputation in the household, no resources w ould be allocated to finding her mother. Having heard similar stories from someone else, she found Mechu's words ve ry persuasive.

From her life in Newnelly, Eve knew that everyone in the Quordenze household treasured Wilk. She had seen servants and officials who were a little too anxious to the point of being servile on several occasions.

Wilk hadn't been given all the information either. She thought that even if Raeve had been kept secret, it might not hav e been so strange.

[...But...no way...]

Eve's head was filled with regret that she could have found her mother sooner if she had behaved differently. Mechu spoke gently to her as if to follow up.

[Your current attitude towards the Young Master is good. Your performance in Operation Jaw is also highly praised wi thin the household. Many people believe that your dedication should be rewarded.]

She was being told to continue to show an obedient attitude in the future, but Eve had gotten used to it, so she didn't mind it much. Rather, she was simply happy that her work was being properly evaluated.

[At that time, Doran's fraudulent activities were exposed. The Young Master realized that Miss Raeve was not an unm arried girl, and that she is actually my lady's mother. The civil officers who had been hiding the information explained t he situation to him.]

[Th-that's right...]

It wasn't like that, but it turned out that it was.

[That's when he found out about Miss Raeve. I'm sorry, but I think the civil officers' decision was appropriate. This wa s a necessary measure considering my lady's future life.]

Eve now knows how dangerous it is to continue to be rebellious towards Wilk within the Quordenze territory. Howeve r, it is also true that it took a certain amount of time for her to understand that.

If she had found out about Raeve's existence before she understood, what would she have done? Eve asked herself. But in the end, she couldn't find an answer.

[...Will I be able to see my mother?]

Apart from the events up to now, that's the important thing now.

She had come all the way to Nambonan City, so it was only natural to expect this, but Eve still wanted to hear the ans wer directly from Mechu.

[It depends on the Young Master's will.]

As they were talking, the carriage entered a large mansion and stopped there.

However, she wasn't allowed to get off right away, and instead had to wait there for a while.

Eve was filled with frustration, but felt that if she said anything now, she would be treated as selfish.

She sat there in silence, playing the role of a well-behaved child, gazing resentfully at Mechu, who had been interactin g with the servants of the mansion several times.

[...My Lady, please watch your step when you get off the carriage. We are entering the mansion now.]

What felt like a terribly long time came to an end for Eve.

Despite being told to watch her step, she jumped off the carriage.

As she walked towards the entrance of the mansion, Mechu, who was walking next to her, gave her a warning.

[Your mother was deeply hurt by the Levios army and the slave traders, but she was saved by the Young Master. She has calmed down now, but the scars from that experience still remain deep in her heart. So, my Lady, please be caret ul with what you say and do.]

Eve's head was filled with the joy of meeting her mother, but Mechu's words helped her calm down a little.

Eve now had the composure to consider the feelings of her mother, who had experienced such terrible misfortune. Sh e admonished herself that she should approach the reunion with a caring attitude towards her mother, rather than bein g selfish.

[Young Master, we have brought her.]

The two stopped in front of the door to the room they had just entered.

[Come in.]

Mechu opened the door.

There, her long-lost mother, whom she had been searching for, was sitting with Wilk.

[Mom!!] (TL Note: Oka-san!!)

[Eve?!

Not caring if she would be scolded, Eve ran off with that thought in mind and jumped on Raeve.

[Mom, I missed you...! Mom, Mom...!]

[Eve... ahhh... I'm so glad... you're alive...!!]

As she buried herself in her mother's voluptuous body, Eve rubbed her body against her, trying to sink in even further. The resolve to care for her mother, which she had been conscious of only a few seconds ago, was blown away. Envel oped in the familiar smell and warmth of her mother, it was impossible to hold back her emotions.

She was wearing clean clothes and had no apparent injuries. As he embraced her, Raeve could tell right away that Eve was not skinny, but had a healthy build.

It was obvious to everyone that Eve had been living safely in the Quordenze territory until now.

Raeve hugged Eve tightly and murmured with tears running down his face.

[I'm so glad... Eve. Eve is doing well... Master saved you too...! I'm so glad, really...]

Master.

The words her mother spoke with joy slipped into Eve's head.

Mechu had said that Raeve had been saved by Wilk.

What would happen if she denied this... if she said that Wilk had raped her? What would happen to her mother's heart?

The joy of being reunited made her emotions a mess, and she couldn't think properly. But still, Eve thought. She had to think.

Yes! Mom, Master helped me too! I'm glad I met you! I've wanted to see you for so long! Mom...!]

The conclusion had been perfectly steered in the direction Wilk wanted.

This secret must be kept hidden at all costs.

For better or worse, Eve was a girl who could read the mood.
