[WN]: This is the longest chapter of this fic yet. I debated on whether to separate this chapter into chapters, but decided against it since it's another timeline story. Hope you enjoy it. It's around 14,000, so that would be 3 chapters at least.]
"Good morning, dear mother."
"Good morning, my son. How was your sleep?"
My name is Igo Windsor, a prince of the royal family that rules over the royal islands. I'm the third child of the queen regnant, Elizabeth Windsor, who is currently sitting at one end of the long table. We're currently having breakfast, so the maids have served us plates of food.
"Good, like always. That's to be expected when I have Belfast around."
"You should rely on yourself more, Igo." My oldest sister snapped at me from the other side of the table. Her name is Wales Windsor. The royal princess who'll become the next queen regnant after my mother. Her demeanor is so manly that many people called her Prince Wales instead of Princess. "Or perhaps you could rely on me."
"I don't exactly want to burden you."
"It's a big sister's job to help her little brother." The second eldest answered my worry. Her name is Hood Windsor. She has the complete personality of Wales, which has earned her the title of Lady Hood for how she acts and talks. "Do not doubt your sisters' willingness to help, dear brother."
"I know. It's just that I don't like to impact your already busy schedule." Besides, Belfast is a maid after all. Asking for help from her feels more natural than doing it to my sisters. "You wouldn't mind, right, Belfast?" I asked the maid who was standing beside me.
"Of course, my dear master." She is Belfast. Even though our ages aren't too far apart, she has already become the head maid of the castle. I used to remember seeing her training when I was 5 or so, and now she has become the top. She is amazing, isn't she? So young and yet accomplished so much. Most of my titles come from the fact that I was born into royalty.
"But what would happen if Belfast weren't here? Who would you depend on?"
"I'm not a baby. I could take care of myself." And to that answer, I hear a little chuckle beside me. This little teasing devil of mine!
"Oh~~ I quite remember that you ran into my room when there was a storm."
"That was years ago! Mother, these two are bullying me."
"Cut it, you two." My mother has long blonde hair, which is where both my sisters got their hair color from. Mine is from my dad, who is currently doing a tour of the country and meeting the local lords. "Let your brother grow on his own, and if he needs to, rely on the maid. That's why we hire them in the first place." I flash my two sisters a cheeky smile. Those two could only return a smile.
After breakfast, we usually go our separate ways. My mother has her duty as a queen and governs the country. She needs to hear her court, meet with influential people, and even become a judge on some national problems. I wish I could help her, but I have yet to earn enough experience to make an informed decision. This is a national or even international level of decision making, and one wrong move, no matter how small, will affect thousands of people.
My sisters have their activities to fill their time. Wales joined the Royal Knights in training. I called it training, but it's just Wales beating them up.
"BUGH!"
"GAH!"
2 knights were sent flying away after Wales hit their armor with her weapon. They were having a mock battle, and by the look of it, Wales just won by a landslide.
"Come on now! You've got to do better than that! You're paid to protect me, for God's sake!" My sister screams at the knights while holding onto a snapped wooden sword. I don't know which fact is scarier, her easily breaking a sturdy wooden sword or the fact that she sent 2 fully armored knights flying. "Igo! Good timing! Let's show them a real fight!"
"Albert, I think she is talking to you," I whispered to the leader of the knights who was standing beside me.
"I believe she is talking directly to you, prince."
"You're my knight, right? Then do your job and protect me."
"You saw what she did to my two knights, no? I have no way of winning against her."
"Then use your brain! Gang up on her."
"Are you telling people to gang up and beat your sister, my dear master?" Not now, Belfast. If I don't do something, she'll send me to my room through the window.
"Come on, Igo! Attack your sister!"
"Fuuh… Haaah…" I guess there's no other way. Albert hands me a wooden sword, and Belfast holds my cape for me. "Please be gentle." I have no way of winning against her, so I used everything in my arsenal to put up a fight, including magic. "Here I go!"
*BOOM*
The earth underneath my feet explodes as I propel myself forward. I swing my sword to hit Wales's body, only for her to block my attack with one hand.
*THUD*
"That's more like it!" Wales's smiles grow wider as I dig my feet and pull my body before swinging my sword at her again. "Great speed!"
*Thud* *Thud* *Thud* *Thud*
I know I could never beat her in pure strength alone, so I rely on my speed and agility. Being a man, I have no heavy pendulums on my chest like Wales, so I'm confident in my speed. Although I said that, my eyes are having a hard time focusing on her and not her breasts. I know it's weird to have this kind of thought about your sister, but most women don't wear something that hugs her curves like Wales.
*Thud* *Thud* *Thud*
The tight outfit caused her opponent to see her as if she weren't wearing anything. You could either focus on the muscles in her arms or the breasts on her chest. Her sexy, glass-figure body is the dream of many. It's not a surprise when I say that many have tried to marry her, but she always rejects them for some reason. I guess being the next in line puts so much pressure on your back. If it were me, I would just marry Belfast.
*Thud* *Thud* *Thud*
"HHYAAAH!"
"You're wearing a skirt, woman!" I have no idea what Wales was thinking when she swung her leg at me. I jump back to dodge, but the sight of my big sister's panties is sure disturbing.
"Chance!"
"Ah!" Shit! I got baited by Wales's panties and couldn't block Wales's attack. "GAH!" I was pushed off my feet and fell on my back on the ground. "Uuhh…" Staring into the blue sky was calming before the winner came to see her prey. "Not fair." Wales gives me a cheeky smile.
Belfast walks up to me and crouches down next to my face with her usual smug smile. "So did you enjoy that, my lewd master?" Belfast… You're supposed to be my ally. "If you want to see women's underwear, then please say so. It might be lewd, but as a maid, it's my job to serve you."
"Don't say anything more, you lewd maid." I sit up and, with the help of Wales, stand up. "I'm going to tell Mom about what you did, Wales."
"What? The fact that my little brother lusted over his sister?" That's your fault! Stop flashing people with your panties! You're a princess for hell's sake! Act like one. "I'll let you tell her if you manage to defeat me." Wales once again entered her fighting stance, ready to pounce at any moment.
I need to get out of here. "Ah! Belfast! If I remember correctly, didn't I have a schedule to study or something?" I look at my maid with pleading eyes, begging for her cooperation.
"Hmm…" The head maid toys with me, but I know, deep down, she is a kind person. "I believe that's tomorrow, my master." I take it back. This bitch is the evilest bitch to have existed.
"You hear that? You'll be training with me all day long, so get ready 'cause I'm not pulling back."
Note to self, punish Belfast.
.
.
.
"Hate you… So much…"
"Ufufufu~~"
The evening sun shines on the world as today's training is dismissed. Unlike all the other knights, I get to be dismissed first since I'm not part of the knight, but mostly because my sparring partner was Wales. Everyone had this grave look on their face every time I got knocked away. Albert even offered me a position as a commander. Fuck that guy honestly. But more importantly,
"Do you not enjoy my lap, my master?" Fuck this maid on whose lap I'm currently laying my head on. Belfast and I retreat into the garden gazebo, away from any prying eyes. "You're much cuter this way, my master."
"Beaten up?" And how in the hell can you possibly see me with those breasts of yours in the way? I can hardly see your face.
"It's a sight so few can see." I hate this bitch so much. I tease Belfast by pinching her belly. "Oh no~~ My master is unreasonably punishing me."
"I'll show you what is unreasonable." I push my index finger into Belfast's belly, and it feels super soft. It's like pushing into a balloon of pudding. "What's this? The head maid is letting herself go and gaining weight? Have the desserts been good lately, Cowfast?"
"Moooo~~ That's bad manners, my master. I'm still a girl, you know?"
"Not long, you're going to be a whale," Belfast grumbled in annoyance at my comment, and she decided to do something about it. "Hey! Hey!" Belfast bent forward and pushed her breasts onto my face, suffocating me. "I can't breathe!"
"I want you to apologize first." I can't! You're blocking my mouth!
"Alright! Alright! I'm sorry that you have been eating uncontrollably lately."
"Mooooh!"
"Aaah! Heeeelllppp!"
.
.
.
"Stop pouting. I almost died."
"It's all your fault, my master."
Even after dinner, the head maid was still pouting and throwing hissy fits at me for what happened earlier. It was her fault to begin with! Why am I the one who apologizes? But I have to do it since walking down the hallway side by side with a temper-throwing tantrum maid isn't so nice.
"You ought to learn to be a better man, my master." I'll be one once you become my woman, Belfast.
We reach my room, and Belfast opens the door for me, and I follow behind her, entering the room. The room is dark, with the only light being the moonlight shining between the curtains.
I lock the door behind us and hug Belfast from behind. "Oh my~~ My master~~ We shouldn't."
"You ought to watch more dramas, Belfast. That's the same dialog you used three days ago." I let my hands rub around Belfast's stomach before they separate to their area of attack. My right hand moves downward while my left hand moves upward. "Come on~~ Do you have any originality? Create some new lines for my entertainment, my maid."
"Ah~~ Mmh!" Belfast's uniform hardly bound her breasts, as my left hand easily moved it around. "My master, this is a forbidden relationship. The master and the maid."
"Should've told me that years ago, my maid." My right-hand teases her pussy through her maid outfit and panties. "How about you show me your true self, succubus?"
"Ufufu~~ Have I finally been found out?" Belfast escaped my hug and strolled forward. She moves her body in a way she hasn't for the entire day, the most sensual way possible. Her hips sway, her breasts sway, and that knowing smugness on her face. "Do you want me to strip myself or perhaps.. My master would like to unwrap his gift?"
"Why you little teasing whore." I take the easy bait as no man on earth could resist her. Little by little, I stripped Belfast of her uniform. I make sure to do it slowly to savor the moment, as I have been every day. "Oh my God…" It never ceases to amaze me just how beautiful she is. I have seen her naked body many times before, and each time, I am always blown away by the beauty.
"Ufufufu~~ It's not nice to be the only one naked, my master." It's Belfast's turn to strip me off any clothes. Soon, 2 naked bodies are standing just beside my bed. "Please sit down, my master. There is something I want to show you."
"Ohh?" I was intrigued and sat down on the side of my bed. Belfast stands in front of me and dances. "Good lord…" It's not just any dance. It can only be described as the dance of a succubus. Saliva drools down my mouth as Belfast shakes her body seductively. The way her movement emphasizes her plumpiness, her glass-hour figure, her massive breasts, her wide hips, and her wet pussy. It's unreal just how sexy she is. "Where did you learn this?"
"A magician doesn't show her secrets, my master." She might as well be one from how hard she is making my dick. She turned my flesh dick into a diamond dick.
"I'll make you say it. On bed. Now."
"Ehehehe~~"
.
.
.
"Mmmhhh~~ Do you have to go? Can you stay and cuddle?"
"Ufufufu~~ I wish I could, but alas, I need to do my morning routine with the rest of the maid corps." After sex, Belfast immediately started dressing up again. Sadly, we don't have time to just talk and cuddle after sex. "Please don't be sad, my adorable master. I am thoroughly pleased by you and would like to have some more, but greed is not good."
"Too bad! I'm being greedy and I want you!" I give Belfast's bubbly butt a pinch.
"Ufufufu~~ Then how about this, my master? I shall wear any clothing you want me to wear if you be a good boy and sleep alone."
"Anything?"
"Anything."
"Alright. I'm going to make you regret ever saying that to me."
"Oh my~~ I can not wait." I'll make sure that smug face of yours will be wiped off, Belfast.
—The next day—
"Brother, I do hope you remember what your schedule is for today."
"Eh?" I was flabbergasted by Hood's question. What is my schedule for today? "Uuuhh…" I tilt my face to my side to Belfast and ask for help. Instead of helping, Belfast just smiled innocently. This bitch wants me dead. "Holiday? Ehehe…"
"..." That joke was only funny for me as Hood smiled at me. It was her usual smile, but I could feel some anger behind it. "You should learn to be more independent, dear brother." That advice sounds like it was aimed at me, but why do I feel like it was also aimed at Belfast?
"Alright. Alright. I'll start carrying a note." I need to act fast and not let the heavy atmosphere brew. It is my fault after all and not Belfast's. "Why are you so worked up anyway, sister Hood?"
"... *Pout*"
"What a terrible brother you are, Igo." If you know, then help me, Wales. "Didn't you promise to spend the day with her today?"
"Ah! I did!" I'd better buy something special for Wales later. "Don't worry, sister Hood. I look forward to spending my day with you."
"Perhaps you should learn to choose your words better, my master." Shut up, Belfast. You're supposed to back me up! "That makes it sound like you're dreading spending time with Lady Hood."
"Dear Mother, will you please give me the right to discipline brother Igo?" Oh! Not cool! I was just being forgetful, and you're going to punish me for that?! That was a genuine mistake on my end!
"Igo, your sister is right. You ought to be more independent. You can't depend on Belfast for everything." One simple mistake and you get berated like crazy.
"Yes, mother…" I can hear cute giggles from beside me. Women truly are devilish, huh?
.
.
.
"All of these just to grow better tea leaves, sister?"
"If all of these are necessary, then doesn't that mean it is not as simple as you first thought, dear brother?"
As I have explained before, Hood is more ladylike compared to Wales. So much more ladylike. Rather than spending her time training with the knights, Hood would rather spend her time in the royal library. Her presence has become such a staple that people regularly visit the royal library just to see her. It's gotten to the point that father has to create rules and ways to mitigate that situation. One of those ways is to create an attachment to the royal library that is privately owned by Hood. No one can enter or exit without Hood's permission.
"Shall we start, dear brother?"
"Are you sure? You don't want to get these books out of the way first?"
The attachment is one giant room that Hood has separated into several sections. The first section somewhat resembles a living room with sofas, tables, and bookshelves. The second section is her alchemy laboratory with a cauldron, chemical vials, and all sorts of chemistry powders. The third section is her botany section with rows of elevated platforms full of pots of plants and a glass roof.
"Don't worry, I have cast protection spells on them." This is also the difference between Wales and Hood. Whilst Wales focuses purely on offensive spells, Hood has learned so many more. Offensive, defensive, support, utilities, and miscellaneous spells. She has all of it. "Do you need help?"
"I would like you to ask me that again when I am doing something hard." Hood needs help with one of her tea bushes as she wants to experiment on it. She read in one of her Sakura Empire's books that shielding tea bushes from the sun will cause the amount of chlorophyll to increase. "Are you sure this is the right tea bush?"
"Indeed." I created a hollow box out of planks and nails. I then put the pot in it before covering the box with a black holed-up fabric. The fabric is thin, so thin that I can see silhouettes from the other side of the box, and full of holes. It's as if some psychopaths have stabbed it with knives. "I believe that should do it."
"How are you going to water it?"
"It's full of holes, dear brother. I can simply water it as usual." Even if the cover is full of holes, wouldn't it still get in the way of the water? The water will drizzle everywhere. "Dear brother, would you mind opening the tap of water?" I just quickly complied with her request. "Thank you." Hood opens her notebook and chants a spell. "O Poseidon. This humble one request of you the permission to perform just a fraction of your power. Water Serpent." A serpent made out of water slithers out of the basin under the tap. The serpent slithers in the air around the greenhouse and sprinkles all of the plants using its body.
"Wonderful work, Lady Hood." That's right, Belfast! That's my sister. "Isn't that so, my dear master?"
"Mhmm~~ Wales's magic dictionary is just full of explosions."
"How about you, dear brother?"
"I'm a mix of both of you." I walk around the greenhouse, following the water serpent. I arrive at a somewhat large plant, compared to everything here, filled with all kinds of fruits. "Is this your chimera project, sister Hood?"
"Indeed." Hood has been grafting branches of fruit trees onto an apple tree. Limes, oranges, cherries, and more can be seen growing on the apple tree. I have to assume she used some kind of spell to stabilize this plant.
"All of this to make tea?"
"You should try squeezing some lime into your tea, dear brother."
"Great idea! Belfast." I pick several limes from the tree and give them to Belfast. "Sorry for bothering you, but can you make some lime tea?"
"It's my pleasure to be trusted to brew tea out of Lady Hood's hard work." I can always trust Belfast's ability to brew tea. She can make even the worst leaves into a great cup of tea.
"Dear brother, what did I say about becoming more independent?" Hood berated me after Belfast left the room.
"That I should only depend on my beautiful sisters?"
"Compliments will get you nowhere." Then what's that smile on your face? "Come, let us sit on the sofa and wait for Belfast." Hood hugs my arm and pulls me into the living room section. We sit down on the sofa next to each other with our arms still entangled with each other.
"What are you reading?"
"Hogwarts has just published a journal of papers from the graduates of the previous year," Hood said while resting her head on my shoulder. "You ought to learn more magic, dear brother. It's more convenient than simply relying on manual labor."
"Wales will pout if she hears you say that, you know?"
"Ufufufu~~ She ought to know better for herself." Hood snuggles her face up to my neck. "For you, however, ufufufu~~, I shall make sure you know better."
"Ahahaha… Stop. That tickles."
"Ufufufu~~ Cute. Let me give you a gift for being a cute brother." Hood snaps her fingers, and a box flies toward us. It's small enough to fit in my palm. "Open it." Opening it, I find a ring inside with a pure white gem as the main attraction. "You'll find a nice surprise when you wear it."
"What kind of magic have you cast on this ring?"
"It's a surprise, no? Where's the fun if I tell you what it is?" Hood grabs the ring and slides it to my left ring finger. The pure white gem slowly turns into a magnificent yellow gem. "I see…"
"What is this, dear sister?"
"A gem that changes color depends on what the wearer is feeling." Is this one of her miscellaneous spells? "Say, dear brother, how has your relationship with Belfast been lately?"
"Eh? Just like usual." Like hell can I say that I and Belfast have been porking like a couple of pigs?
"Usual, yes?" Hood eyes are glued to the gem now that it shines bright pink. "You little rascal." Hood pushes me down onto the sofa and straddles me. "Seems like the head maid has corrupted my dear brother's mind. As his sister, I believe I must cleanse you."
"Ahahaha… Stop talking like that." Hood grabbed my hands and lay her body on mine and put her lips on my neck. "That tickles~ Hahahaha!"
"Mmmhh~~ My naughty dear brother."
"Ahaha! Hahaha!" Hood's lips smothered all over my neck, and she moved it up to my face. "Stop! Hahaha! Your lipstick will leave marks on my face."
"Then everyone will know who you belong to, especially the head maid."
*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*
"Excuse me, Lady Hood. May I enter your room?" Belfast may be useless in confrontation, but her timing is impeccable.
.
.
.
.
.
"Uugghh… My eyes hurt…"
"Fufufu~~ My master is so weak. So cute." I was taking a nap with Belfast in my room after spending the entire day with Hood. How my sister can read books for an entire day without rest is beyond me. "Just like a big baby." I dive my face into Belfast's bosom and let them massage my face. There's a reason why her uniform doesn't cover the upper part of her breasts.
"Do you not have a spell to help me with my fatigue, Belfast?"
"This one may have just the spell, my master." Oh? Really? As I was waiting for Belfast to cast her spell, her hand slither down and caressed my penis. "Ehehe~~" This perverted head maid of mine!
"Naked. Ass up. Now."
"Fufufu~~ My cute master is trying to be dominating. How cute."
—The day after—
"Thank you all for gathering here today for our painting class." The next day, a large group of women gathered in the garden with Hood being the speaker. "I would like to personally thank Illustrious from The House of Light for donating quite a large sum of money to buy all the necessary equipment needed for this class. Please give her your applause."
*Clap* *Clap* *Clap* *Clap* *Clap*
"Nyyaawwnn…" Why am I here? That's a good question. Hood asked me personally to come. She said she might need some hands.
"My master, please cover your mouth when you yawn, or this maid shall personally do so with this one own mouth."
"Pervert."
Belfast and I are standing on the side and looking at the scene in front of us. Most of them were high-class ladies and girls from the other houses, and some commoners who had high standing in society. This might be a painting class in name only, as the main purpose is to grow relations and political power. That's why Wales is here, even though this kind of activity does not match with her vibe.
"For today's model, we have a special guest with us." Oh lord… Now I know why Hood invited me. "My dear brother Igo, will you please come to the stage?" Please don't say it as if I have any other answer other than 'Yes'. I walk forward and stand right beside Hood. Murmurs spread throughout the group of women as if I couldn't hear them loud and clear.
"He is as handsome as they say." "Look at how tight his uniform is." "Rumors have it that he has Prince Wales's physical prowess and Lady Hood's brain." "Doesn't that make him perfect?" "Does anyone know what kind of person Prince Igo is looking for?"
This is what I get for being a prince of the nation. Most people would like to be enthroned to be a member of the royal family. It's quite annoying as I can't simply shoo them away since they're still nobles.
"For today, our theme is naked painting."
"Yes?" What?! This is the first time I have ever heard about this?! Did Mother agree to this? I looked at Hood for confirmation just in case she was wrong.
"Hmm?" She just smiled at me innocently. "Do you need help, my dear brother?" Hood grabbed the collar of my outfit and started unbuttoning my outfit.
"Let me help." Wales walked to the stage and started grabbing my accessories and putting them somewhere else. With these 2 efforts, I was soon standing butt-naked in front of a group of women. "Let us help you choose a pose, dear brother." Hood grabs both of my hands while Wales takes hold of my hip. The way they move around like a doll makes me remember when I was still small and how these 2 would play with me.
"Open your legs, dear brother." Hood let go of my hands only to take a good grip on my thighs. She forced my legs to open wide and look forward toward the woman. This also means that my penis is pointing straight at them. "There, that's perfect."
"For how long do I need to hold this pose?" Being eyed by women while butt-naked makes my body temperature rise. Sweat will build up quite quickly if this goes on.
"There's no need to worry, my master." Belfast strolled next to me and used a towel to wipe my body from the sweat. "Ufufufu~~ Such a wonderful body." Belfast deliberately wiped my dick as if she was giving me a hand job. She knows what she is doing, this bitch! "Ufufufu~~" Stop giggling and help me! Talk sense to these hitches!
Belfast ignored my plea for help as she stood a few steps away from me. She watches happily as the women stroke their canvas and put my image onto their canvas. The intensity in their eyes feels like they are groping me. It feels weird, and yet I can't do anything. I don't want to ruin Wales and Hood's images. This is embarrassing, but I'd better bite my lip and hold it.
.
.
.
"Uuuuuhhh… How can you be so evil, Belfast?! I was asking for your help!"
"But didn't I wipe your sweat, my master?" Not that! "Oh~" I pinch Belfast's breasts to punish her for her evil deeds.
"Are you not sad that your master is being treated like a simple attraction?"
"You looked like you enjoyed it, my master."
"You know what?! Tomorrow you'll take me on a date! That's my command to you for leaving your master being eyed by a group of women!"
"Ufufufu~~ This one shall give you the best date this one could plan, my master."
—The Day After—
"Oh Lord…"
"What's wrong, my master? Looking at something nice?" The next day, Belfast and I meet up at the gate of the castle. Belfast has always been one beautiful woman, but I was reminded of that again today. "Come now, the sooner we depart, the more time we have for each other."
Belfast and I walk hand in hand into the capital. We immediately become the center of attention the moment we walk amongst the citizens. Murmurs and whispers spread out like wildfire as usual, but I gave them no mind as I was completely hypnotized by Belfast's beauty.
"It's unfair just how good those two are!" "They're such a good pair. It's as if we're living in a fairytale." "Has someone cast a spell to make a painting into a reality?" "I wish to be next to the prince, but after seeing her… It's just unfair."
"That's quite a cute outfit, Belfast. Where did you get it?" She wears a beige sweater, a tight black mini skirt, a red beret, and a red shawl. [1]
"A certain sakuran green cat." The hell? What is that supposed to mean? "My master, please focus on the road. I'm not going anywhere, you know?"
"I can't be too sure with you." I put my arm over Belfast's shoulder and pulled her into my body. "I need to make sure everyone knows what is mine."
"Mooo~~ A greedy king makes a bad king, my master."
"Suck to be you cause Wales is the one who'll be the leader. I can do whatever I want." My hand is on the other shoulder, and I take a good hold of it. Belfast is wearing a shoulderless sweater, so my hand is touching her skin directly. To tease her, I dig my finger under her sweater and tickle her armpit.
"Mooo~~ My master! That's no good. There are places for things, you know? Belfast lifted her index finger and pushed it up to my face. I instinctively bite her puffy cheek. "Mooo~~ I'm angry, you know?"
"You better stop or I'll kiss those cheeks of yours." I push my face to invade Belfast's personal space, and my head maid playfully puts her hands on my face. "Ahaha~~"
"Moooo~~ People are watching us, my master."
"Oh~? Is that an invitation to get steamier?"
"My master~~! Moooo~~!"
"Ufufufu~~"
.
.
.
"Aaaaaa~~"
"Aaaa~~ Mmmhh~~"
Belfast invites me to a restaurant just outside the city. The restaurant is on an elevated ground, so we're getting quite a good look at the capital city. The magnificent castle stands tall in the middle of the city being surrounded by colorful and unique buildings all around, which genuinely gives you an appreciation of the long history of the nation. Imagining myself sitting at the same place just 200 years ago, and the capital was simply just a village. I wonder if those people ever imagined their village turning into such a grandiose city.
"Do you want to taste some of mine, Belfast?"
"Of course~~ Aaaah~~"
The same question can be applied to me right now, though. In the future, what will happen to me and Belfast? Without a doubt, I would need to get married to someone. Being a prince means that you've a huge target on your back and everyone would try to marry me or marry their daughters to me. The more important question is, will Belfast still be with me in the future? I know my sisters have been yelling at me for relying on Belfast too much, but I can't honestly think of a future without her. Maybe my sisters are right all along. I can't imagine my future wife is okay with me being so close to Belfast.
"Mmm~~ Do you perhaps want to buy some more sweets, my master?"
"Hmm… I'll take a roll cake and some dajerling tea, please."
"I shall take a glass cake if that's so."
The waitress soon came to us and served us our sweets. Belfast managed to book special seats in this restaurant. It's a private room on the side of the elevated ground, so after the waitress left, it left the two of us.
"It's amazing how good your body is considering how many sweets you are eating, Belfast."
"Ufufufu~~ Perhaps all of our adult activities have caused us to share some genes." It's true that I hardly gained any weight regardless of how much I eat, but I never heard of gene sharing through ejaculation.
"You still are gaining weight, Belfast." I commented as I stared at her breasts.
"These are all your fault, my master. You have been stimulating my chest and causing it to grow."
"I'm planning to reap what I sow."
"Mooo~~~ Then I wouldn't be able to work for anyone other than you, my master."
"Perfect." I push my index finger into the cream of my roll cake and smear it on Belfast's cheek. "Oh no~~ It seems that you got some cream on your cheek, Belfast. Come here and let me help you." I lick my lips and get it wet.
"Ufufufu~~ It seems so~~ Please do help me, my master."
.
.
.
"Which flowers would you like to pick, my master?"
"I already picked you, the world's most beautiful flower."
Next, Belfast brought me to a flower park in the capital city. All the flowers are very different from each other. Blue, yellow, red, violet, orange, etc. You can find all sorts of colors of flowers in this park. Sunflowers, roses, tulips, etc. I'm amazed by whoever is keeping this park running.
"Mooo~~ My master~~! I'm happy, but please take my question seriously."
"Then, which flowers will get you to bed with me?"
"I already am, my master." Belfast crouches down on the edge of the path to get a closer look at a particularly gorgeous flower. It's a black flower with grey edges and freckles of white on it. It looks like a clear night sky.
"I want that."
"Fufufu~~ What would you do without me, my master?" Die. Belfast gently pinches the stem of the flower and twists it swiftly so the flower doesn't feel the pain. I don't know if flowers do, though. "Here, my master."
"Can you make it into a hair accessory, Belfast?"
"And you're planning to give it to me?" I smiled cheekily and did the finger guns at Belfast. "Sigh… Then I shall pick yours." Belfast's hand travels toward a white flower with a tint of blue and picks it. "Moo~~ You can be quite a troublesome man, my master."
"Do you still love me?"
"Fufufu~~ Of course~~ There exists no world where I am not in love with you." She always knows what brings me to smile. Belfast stands up and we sit down on a park chair. "Are you worried that I might leave you, my master?"
"Can't lie and say no, Belfast. If you have been planning for yourself to be irreplaceable no matter what, you have already achieved it."
"Ufufufu~~ Planning too far ahead like that is simply not my style, my master. I'm a maid. We simply think about what our master wants in the moment and soon."
"Then I want a wife."
"Shall I find one?" To Belfast's tease, I pinch her waist. "Ufufu~~ You must understand that it's hard for us to get married, right, my master?" Belfast lay her head on my shoulder and looked forward. "The best scenario is for you to marry a kind woman who'll let us still be together, my master."
"I know…" My hands turn into fists. That is the only way for a maid and a prince to be together forever. I'm grateful for being born as a prince, but I also wish there were more freedom for me. I want to marry Belfast. I can't lie to anyone, nor can I lie to myself. I want her.
"...I love you, my master."
—The Day After—
"Dear Mother, where is Belfast?" The next morning came and I played my daily routine of eating breakfast with my family, but I noticed that MY maid was missing. She didn't say anything to me yesterday, so it makes me worry about her.
"The House of Light will be having some important people from the Dragon Empery. We can't afford even the slightest of mistakes, which is why I sent Belfast to the House of Light. I know you're attached to her, but it's only for a week, sweetie."
"I see…" I wasn't here today, so I guess that's how I missed the news. I want to protest, but what right do I have? A good political relationship between nations is important after all. That's how I get to enjoy the current life I'm having right now.
"Cheer up, dear brother. You still have your sister with you."
"Sisters that bully me."
"As if Belfast would help you." Fair point, Wales. That maid would instead pile up on me. "Seeing you like this, I believe it is needed to separate both of you." For what reason? I was simply asking a simple question, and I'm getting railed on. "Mother, can you assign Sheffield to attend to Igo? She ought to teach him to be more independent."
"Sure." Sheffield, huh… I'm not as close to her as I was to Belfast. I wonder how things will play out. She has to be quite a capable maid if my mother doesn't protest.
"Since your schedule is quite free today, dear brother. Why don't you spend your day with me?"
"What are you going to do today, Hood?"
"Fufufu~~ The castle's garden is blooming, so perhaps we could have a date. Just the two of us." What a coincidence. I just had a date with Belfast yesterday. Guess I'll be having 2 dates in a row, although this one is platonic.
"If that's the case, then I would also like to join in," Wales speaks up. We have some free time on our hands, huh…
.
.
"Dear brother, can you pick that rose for me?" Hood stands under her umbrella as the 3 of us walk alongside each other in the castle's garden. This place was carefully curated by my mother and father, so the scenery here is just incredible. Not only that, you also see plants and trees that are not native to this land. The team of gardeners here must have worked hard to keep this place up and running like this. I can't see a single leaf on the ground at all.
"Sure." I put my hand close to the ground and pinch the stem between my index and thumb before twisting it like Belfast did yesterday. Even when I copied her moves, I simply couldn't replicate her gentleness. "Ku~" We filled each other's weaknesses, huh…
"What's wrong, dear brother?"
"Nothing. Here." I hand over the rose to Hood, who promptly takes a sniff of it.
"How romantic you are, my dear brother. Is this perhaps a proposal for me?" Hood hugs my arm tightly. I can feel the softness of her breasts through her outfit. "Fufufu~~ Wales, can you hold the umbrella for both of us?"
"As if!" Wales hugged my other arm and tried to pull me away from Hood. Can they stop thinking of me as a tugging rope? "This is getting boring! How about we hunt some monster, Igo?" Wales grabs my head and smothers me in her bosom. Please stop…
"You're going to need to coordinate with Mother and the knights to be allowed to hunt monsters, Wales. Will you be able to do so?" She better be. She is the next in line. Our kingdom is in danger if she doesn't know how to do simple administrative work. You should be worried, too, Hood. "Ignore her, dear brother. With me, you would enjoy a wonderful life with no hardship." Hood, I'm an adult. I know something like that never truly exists.
"And grow up to be a dull man? Who would like to live like that?" Your sister, apparently.
"Can you both stop? My body hurts." Being tugged around like this doesn't feel nice. I know people are dying to be where I am, but the thing is, I am dying.
"Oh~~ Then let us sit on a bench, my dear brother." Hood pulled us to a park bench under a massive tree. The wind sweeps and rustles the leaves, which allow some of the sunlight to pass through the thick canopy. "Here, dear brother. You can lay your head on my lap." Hood sat down first, fixed her outfit, and then patted her lap.
"No." Instead of lying on her lap, I sit right next to her. "It's embarrassing, you know?" Hood's cheeks expand as she pouts at me. Don't waste that expression on me. People would kill just to see that expression of yours.
"Serve you right." Wales sits down on the opposite side of Hood and leans her body on mine. "Too bad, but you're not Belfast, Hood. Igo would not hand you anything if you weren't his favorite maid."
"I see…" What's with the dangerous tone, Hood? Don't listen to Wales. She is the devil on your shoulder. Listen to your angel instead. "Perhaps… a little corrective action may be needed for you, dear brother." What does she mean by that?
The 3 of us enjoy the bright day in the garden. Everything went smoothly with the occasional tease from my sisters about my relationship with Belfast. Although annoying, I mostly pay them no heed. My sisters are simply worried for my well-being, and isn't that so sweet of them?
.
.
.
"Pardon?"
"This might come out of nowhere, mainly because it is, but you're going to meet a potential consort from Eagle Union."
*Clink*
I couldn't believe my ears and dropped my cutlery when I heard my mother repeat her words to me. A potential consort? I had known this day would come, but I wasn't expecting that it would come from outside of the royal bubble. I had attended courts before and had been approached by many potential consorts, so of course I would expect it to be them. I had not chosen anyone mainly because I don't want to get away from Belfast, but also because my mother and father have not introduced me to anyone yet.
"What is going on, dear mother? Wales hasn't found anyone yet, so why is dear brother first?"
There's no rule who has to get betrothed first in the royal family, but it usually starts with the eldest since they're the most likely to become ruler. Most families will try to focus on them first before aiming for anyone underneath. The prize of becoming the next ruler's fated partner is far too tempting for anyone to see the other siblings.
But this one comes from Eagle Union. An outsider being married to the next ruler is frowned upon, especially if they'll have the same status as the next ruler. Most people want that position to be filled with someone from inside the nation, not outside.
"Who is this woman, mother? She can't be a princess if she is from the Eagle Union." Wales is right. Eagle Union is a democracy, so technically, they don't have nobles. Well, that's on the surface.
Everyone living on this blue earth would know that money is the true symbol of nobility. Regardless of whether they're from a monarchy or a democratic nation, money speaks. In the Royal Islands, the nobles with money talk with the king and queen, while on the Eagle Union, businessmen with money talk with the president. The businessmen don't talk directly like the nobles, but with the power of lobbying, it's the same. Heck, the businessmen might have more power if they could buy more mouths to talk to the president.
"A daughter from one of Eagle Union's top arms manufacturers. Her name is Stella Regalia." I don't even know who that is and yet, I will be betrothed to her.
I know I could deny the occasion, but…
"...I see. I can't wait to see what kind of woman she is."
What right do I have?
This is my mother we're talking about. She is the current ruler. For her to sacrifice her son to secure a connection means that this arms manufacturer is one not to mess around with. My mother is not some evil woman who willingly sacrifices her subjects willy-nilly. She is a calculating queen who'll try everything first before making the sacrifice call. For her to reach this conclusion means that this is the best solution she can muster.
"Thank you for the food. I shall be retreating back to my room. I don't want to get sick since I will be meeting my potential wife. Hahaha…" I let out a dry laugh as I quickly made my retreat from the dining room and walked down the hallway.
The hallway has always been cold, but this time, it feels more so than it ever has. The lonely sound of my footsteps echoing through the hallway without Belfast's footsteps that usually accompany me only highlighted just how alone I am now. Looking out the tall windows adorning the hallway, I saw the lights of the capital city that never sleep. Each one of those lights resembles a life. A life that is hard and painful.
I had always been living a life of privilege because of the sacrifice the people are making. Everyday they get up, work tirelessly, and pay their taxes all for me to enjoy. That has never been better represented with the contrast difference of where I am standing and where the people are standing.
*Tap* *Tap* *Tap* *Drip* *Drip* *Whoooosh*
Rain suddenly fell from the sky as I was entranced by the light of the city. At first, a drizzle, but it quickly turned into heavy rain. Thunder clapped far above the sky while wind roared across the city. All of these phenomena, and yet, I'm still dry inside this massive castle that was built with the money of the people that are currently experiencing the powerful downpour.
"It's for the greater good…" I mutter to myself. The people had sacrificed themselves for me, and now it's my turn.
I had steeled myself. I had gathered up my resolve, so why?
"..."
Why are tears starting to pour down my face?
"You don't need to act tough, dear brother?"
"Hmm?" Tomorrow morning has come, and that was the first thing Hood said to me. "It's fine. I may have been startled last night, but after thinking clearly about it, it's not so bad after all. This is not the first time I have been meeting guests from outside the nation." It will be the first time to be betrothed, however. Regardless, I spilled everything last night. There's no going anywhere anymore. I will be a good prince and do my duty for the people.
"Is it because I'm not Belfast that you're not telling me what you're feeling, Igo?" It was a surprise that Hood called my name directly. I guess she is not in a good mood. "Has the relationship with your maid become more intimate than with your sister?"
"I don't know what you're talking about! There's nothing for me to tell anyway, even if you're Belfast."
"..."
"I–I…" I couldn't let out a single word from my mouth as Hood stared at me. For the first time since forever, Hood let her anger show. "Don't look at me like that…" It's no secret that our lives as members of the royal family carry a heavy burden on our minds, especially when you have to deal with annoying people. We can't lash out at them and risk the image of the royal family, so all that stress tends to build up.
"Fine…" Hood quickly sprang up from her seat and walked away, angrily. It's amazing how much you notice about a person when you have been living with them for a long time. Hood has her way of walking, which is dignified and elegant, but this time, she was stomping her feet with each step. I should probably apologize to her. I have not made any mistake, but it's better to be the bigger man than let things drag out.
.
.
.
"What did you do to Hood, Igo?"
"I didn't do anything!" Wales cornered me and pinned me against a wall before asking the earlier question. She must meet Hood and notice how the usual elegant lady is now fuming with anger, but why does she know it was me? "And why do you think it's me anyway?"
"There's only one person who can make Hood that angry, and that's you." Bullshit! Did you forget how angry she was at Bismarck from the Iron Blood Empire for trying to make me her consort? "So what did you do, Igo?"
"I've said it before. I didn't do anything! Go ask her yourself!"
"..."
"Uuk!" Wales's eyes scan me through and through. It's amazing just how sharp a stare that is. Even the tiniest drop of sweat doesn't seem to escape her gaze. This is truly the gaze of the next Queen Regnant.
"I see…" Wales pulls her hands away from me. "You don't seem to understand the problem, Igo." I very much do, but would not like to say it out loud. "That matter aside, I want to hear from you about the eagle union bitch." Is it necessary to call her a bitch? We haven't even met her yet! "What are you going to do?"
"Well… We're just going to meet and get to know each other. I will decide what to do afterward." Lie. I already know what fate lies in front of me. I have to get married to this girl regardless of how she is. It's for the people and the nation that have spoiled me to this very day.
"You've already set your sights on marrying her, right?" If you already knew then don't say anything, woman. "Do you… Really want that?" What I want has nothing on this. I have always had what I want, and this is the time for that to be turned over. Time for me to face reality. Not everything that I want can be had for the entirety of my life.
"I'm okay, Wales. I'm sure she would not be that bad if mother were the one who brought her up."
"Igo." Wales grabs my shoulders and looks me straight in the eyes. The power of her grip and the conviction in her eyes, she is about to tell me something important. I can already predict what is, but my heart is set regardless. I will marry Stella Regalia. "Marry me."
"..."
"..."
"...Huh?"
"If you marry me, you will be the prince consort. I will allow you as many wives as you want, so you can still marry Stella Regalia if she is indeed a decent person. The reason I told you this is because I want you to still be here, in the castle with me."
"...What?"
"If you were to marry Stella as you are right now, you will be sent to Eagle Union. That's a guarantee. You will be acting as a proxy of the Royal Island. I don't want that!"
"Are you listening to what you're saying, woman?" Marrying my sister!? What kind of fuck up idea is that?! "Are you high?! Did Hood throw her stack of marijuana on your face?!" Does Hood even have that is questionable, but there's no other reason for Wales's erratic behavior. "Go meet a physician or something! You ought to get your head checked."
"I'm not joking. Mmpph~~"
"MMPPPHHH!" Wales slammed our mouths together, crashing her lips against mine. Violent. Hungry. Dominant. Devouring. All of these words and their synonyms could describe Wales right now. "MMMPPHH!" She pushes her tongue deep into my mouth and blocks my throat, making it hard for me to breathe. "MMmmppphh!" She has always been superior in physical strength to me, I know that, but to think it's this much!
I couldn't do anything!
"Mmmmmhhh~~~"
"Mmmpphh…" My vision… I need air… Air… I can't… I can't… "Mmppaaahh…"
"We'll make you understand, dear husband."
.
.
.
"Aaah~~ Mmmpphh~~"
"No! Mmmppphh! Aaah! Aaah! Please! No!"
While I was unconscious, Wales brought me to Hood's room. There, my 2 sisters forced me to drink some sort of elixir and cast a curse on me. A mark of vitality had been placed just under my belly button and is now glowing bright pink.
"Aaah! Noo! Please! Aah! This is wrong!"
"Mmmpphh~~~ Aaah~~! Ahhh~~!"
No matter how many times I have come. No matter how wild our movements are. My dick will always be rock solid.
"I love you, dear husband. Mmmhhhh~~ Aaah~~ I have always loved you~~"
"MMmppphh!"
"This is for your own good, my love~~ Mmhh~~ Ahhh~~ Aaah~~ I love you~~ I love you~~ Aah~~"
I was chained to the bed with Wales bopping on my dick and Hood assaulted my face. They're my sisters, and to think we're having sex. This is wrong! This is so wrong!
"Please stop! We still have time to stop!"
"No. I have waited until you noticed my feelings for you, but the time for waiting has ended. If I wait any longer, you will be taken away from me."
"Aaah! Ooh! Nooo! No! Wait! WAIT! NOOOOOO! OOOOOOOOHHHHH!"
"Hahaha! Yes! Another one in my womb! Hahahaha! Hah! Haa!"
At first, I counted how much I came inside my sisters but I lost count after it reached double digits. Our positions switch every so often, with my 2 sisters leading the weakened me. They would also bring out toys in the hope of breaking me.
"No! Mmmh! Aah! Ahhh! Mmh! Please! Stop! Aaah! Aaah!"
"Husband, wear this instead." Hood brought out a ring box and pushed it to my face. She opens it, and inside is the world's most beautiful ring. "We specifically created this for you. You can wear my other ring on your other ring finger." Hood pulled out the ring and grabbed my left hand.
I need to stop her!
"Ooh?" In an act of deviance, I make a fist with my left hand. Preventing Hood from sliding the ring onto my ring finger. "I see~~ Let us see how long you will hold out, my love?"
And for the next week, Hood and Wales keep me on a leash. Day and night, not a single moment was spent where I wasn't rape by my 2 blood related sisters. I couldn't report to anyone as my curse mark would burn red and spread out to my entire body, and the 2 women never left me.
"Mmm! No…"
"You better stay quiet or people will know, husband."
"My love, perhaps you enjoy some voyeurism?"
Anywhere they could, we would. Behind our mother, in social gatherings, in the bushes while the knights are training, and so much more. I always hope for no one to find out. I cried and begged for Hood and Wales to stop, but my words fell on deaf ears.
"Mmmh~!"
"Is it not convenient to be able to control vines and water, dear sister?"
"Indeed. I should learn more from you."
The number of unique methods and plays they're forcing on me can not be counted. From using vines and water serpents in Hood's room to milking me amongst the cows. My sisters are doing everything they can to break me.
I know how to end this. I just need to break and become what they want me to be, their husband. I will be lying if I say that my body wasn't enjoying this. I very much am. My body is screaming to give up. Let my sisters own me. Let them be my wives. Let this continue for the rest of my life.
But!
"BELFAST! BELFAST! HELP! Aaah! Haah! BELFAST!" I scream her name, hoping for her to break the door and rescue me. And yet,
"Dear husband, she will never come."
"My love, we're the only ones here for you."
My savior didn't come. She wasn't here right now. I truly am alone.
.
.
.
"There will be a ball next Monday, I intend to announce our relationship to everyone."
"What?! Are you out of your mind?! Our family will get ridiculed if they know what is happening here! Don't you care for mother and father?!"
"People from our factions would love that, regardless of whether it is right or wrong," Hood speaks up. "As of right now, the faction that will most likely win is Wales's, but with the announcement, all of our factions will win. This whole throne race will be over with everyone holding hands. Isn't that just the best, my love?"
"..." Words caught up in my throat. What Hood said is the best outcome. No bloodshed or unnecessary debates. All of us will hold some part of the power. "Is this the only way…?"
"Indeed, dear husband." Wales sits down next to me and holds my hand tight. She puts her mouth near my ear and whispers in a sweet voice. "With this, we'll be together forever. You won't need to move to The Eagle Union if you marry Stella Regalia."
"Everyone will be happily laughing and holding hands together. Isn't that nice, my love?" Hood sat on the other side and took a hold of my free hand. She whispers to my ear with a calm and hypnotizing tone. "And best of all, you would not need to leave Belfast. You both will be together for as long as you want."
"Together… Forever…"
"That's right."
"We will be together forever."
Hood and Wales cuddle up to my cheeks, sniffing and kissing me all over. I let myself be smothered by their love as I was deep in thought. I don't need to worry about leaving Belfast anymore. Isn't that what I have been dreading? Now I don't need to dread it anymore. Besides that, a lot more problems will be handled with just me marrying my sisters.
"Perhaps… This isn't so bad after all…"
"Indeed~~" Hood opens up my left hand and pulls out the old ring from my finger.
"For a better future." Wales gracefully knelt in front of me and brought out the ring box. She opened it and showed it to me. "Dear husband, will you?"
"Of course…" For a better future…
"Fufu~~" Wales happily pulled the ring out of the box and slid it into my ring finger. "Fit like a charm." Indeed. The ring rested firmly on my finger.
"Wonderful, my love." Hood grabbed my head and turned it gently to her side. She then put her lips on mine and pushed her tongue into my mouth. "Mmmh~~" No resistance. I didn't try to push her, nor did I try to shut my mouth this time. I just let her have her way with me.
"Let us celebrate this joyous occasion." Wales stands up and snuggles her face up my neck. "Mmph~~!" She proceeds to take playful bites of me, leaving hickeys all over my neck and collar. Just like Hood, I didn't try to stop her. Just letting her have her way with me. Because…
"This is simply the best possible way."
.
.
.
Walking down the corridor, I can't believe that it would just be days for me to turn from being a single man to a married man. Marrying my sisters, nonetheless. It still lingers on my mind just how wrong all of this is, but it fixes a lot of my problems. I had no power or ability to fix what were essentially my problems, and my sisters gracefully offered a way out. How can I refuse?
"Master?"
"Huh?" I was so deep in thought that I didn't watch my surroundings. I didn't notice that I was walking toward Belfast. "Belfast? You are here?"
"Indeed." The head maid gives me a curtsy bow. "The matter in The House of Light had concluded wonderfully, and I was permitted to return to your side, my master."
"That's wonderful."
"Is there something wrong, my master?" Huh? "You seem to be different somehow?"
"How so?"
"The air around you seems darker. Please allow this humble maid to help you, my master." Belfast walked up to me and grabbed my hands. "Oh? A new ring? Where's the ring that Lady Hood gave you, my master?"
"I put it somewhere…"
"Perhaps this one is from Miss Stella Regalia? The girl that you will be meeting soon?"
"No…"
"Perhaps we can search your room for your ring, my master?" That wasn't a question but more like a command. Belfast was pulling on my arms toward my room.
"No! I just–"
"It's precious to you, is it not?" Belfast stared straight into my eyes. From her stare, I could guess what her intention was. 'Let us speak in private,' and to those eyes, I could never say no.
.
.
"I have cast a deafening dome, my master. Now no one shall hear our conversation." In my room, Belfast and I sat right next to each other on the side of my bed. "Please, allow this ignorant maid to help you with your problems."
"No! It's not–"
"Master." Belfast hugged me out of nowhere. A kind and thoughtful hug full of love and care. The purity of her emotion fills my body with warmth and serenity that has long gone. "Please… I don't want to be alone… I don't want to lose you."
"Sniff… Sniff… Sniff…"
"I do not want a master who never cries. I do not want a master who is emotionally dead. I want a master who I can share anything with. I want a master who believes in me."
"Uuh! Sniff! Uuuhh! Sniff! Sniff! GGUUUHH!" My arms move to hug Belfast, and without knowing, my fingers dig into her body as if not wanting to let her go.
"I want a husband who doesn't put a barrier between us. Physically or mentally."
"Guuuuh! WWAAAAHHH! UUUUUHHH! WWWAAAAAA! UUUUUHH! SNIFF! SNIFF! WWAAAAAHHHH!"
I finally broke and let everything out to Belfast. All my pains and sufferings. All the troubles. Everything that happened while she was away. All my concerns about the future. Everything. I let out everything on Belfast's shoulders. And more importantly…
"I DON'T WANT TO LOSE YOU! AAAAHH! WWAAAHH! I'M AFRAID! I'M AFRAID! UUUHHH! WWWAAAAHHH! I WANT US TO BE TOGETHER FOREVER! I DON'T WANT TO EVEN LOSE SIGHT OF YOU! GGUUUUHH! SNIFF! AAAAHHH! I DON'T WANT THIS! I DON'T WANT TO MARRY MY SISTERS! I WANT TO MARRY YOU! I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO! I'M TRAPPED! WWWAAAAAHHHH! WWWAAAAHH! I'M LOST! WHAT DO I DO?! AAAAHHH!"
"My lovely master… I feel the same way…"
For the entire night, I cried my heart out to Belfast until every last bit of negative emotion in my heart disappeared.
"Master, let us run away."
"Huh? How?"
"We, the maids, are informed of secret passageways all across the castle. I had planned a route just in case of an enemy attack, and I needed to evacuate you out of the vicinity."
"But my sisters wouldn't sit still if they knew I was gone?"
"Then we just need to move as fast as we can out of the capital city. To where, we don't know. We can figure that out as we go. For now, leaving this place is our priority."
"Can we… do that?"
"You can rely on your reliable head maid for everything, My cute master. Just put the belongings you want to bring with you under your bed. I shall take care of it."
"I don't know if I should do this, Belfast… Running away after years of living a luxurious life, from people's taxes… This feels like I'm stealing from them… This should be a chance for me to repay them…"
"There's not only a single way for someone to repay the kindness others have given him, my master." Belfast cup my cheeks gently and lift my head. "My master is the smartest man I know, you surely will find another way to repay the people. I'm sure of it. Before that, we have to get you out of here first."
"I guess so…" That's right. Repaying the people is my long-term goal, the current one is to make sure I have a bright future ahead of me. "Alright, let us do it."
For the entirety of tomorrow, I will try to act normal. I had prepared everything I thought I would need, such as clothes, mementos, and money, before dawn broke and hid it under my bed so Belfast could take it as she cleaned my room.
"Hah! Haaah! You must be thinking about our wedding ceremony, right, my husband? Uuh! Uuh!" Wales asked as she bounced up and down my dick. Her massive breasts wildly gyrate all over the place. It's only now that I notice just how beautiful her body is. To have such a body for your personal use and having such a high standing in society, Wales without a doubt is an amazing woman. BUT, this is still wrong. Regardless of how beautiful she is or how powerful she is, she is still my sister, and marrying her is wrong. "Don't worry! Mmh! Aaah! Haaah! Hood and I will take care of that. Haah!"
"All you need to do is be a good boy and listen to us. Everything will work out fine." Hood doesn't lose to Wales in the beauty department. If Wales has an aura of a strong woman you can rely on, Hood has a more gentle, calming aura, as if she is your mother who will smother you with unconditional love. "Mmmhh~~ Aaahh~~" The woman drank a glass of wine and held it in her mouth as she kissed me and pushed the wine into my mouth. Body-wise, Hood is not that far off from the bombastic Wales. She just covers it far better than Wales. Even so, she is still someone who has a blood relation with me, so I can't marry her.
"Aaah~~ Mmhhh~~" Since this will be my last day, there's nothing wrong with enjoying myself, no? I'm having sex with the kingdom's best duo. Men can only imagine having sex with one of them, as even imagining having sex with the 2 of them would wake one up from their dream because it's too good to be true, and yet here I am, doing exactly that. "Aaahh~~ Hood~~ Mmmhh~~ Wales~~ Mmmmaaahh~~"
"Fufufu~~ Such a cutie~~"
"Haaah! Haaah! Hahaha! I love you too, Igo."
Sorry, but I will be leaving you two.
.
.
.
"I see that you have steeled your resolve, my master."
"I was the one who caused this to happen. I can't be a coward and pull out now."
At last, it's time for Belfast and I to depart the castle. Thinking about it now, it feels surreal. Like, all of this is fake. I have been living my whole life in this castle alongside my sisters and parents, but now, I'm going to run away. Is this how normal people feel when they're about to leave to work or study in a faraway land? It's a hellish feeling, but those people bear it, so I can do it too. They do it for a brighter future, and so do I.
I can't marry my sisters. That alone is a fact that I'm willing to die on. Once I'm gone from this castle, Hood and Wales's fixation on me will be gone, and they will surely find someone else to love. It will be sad that I won't be meeting my future brothers-in-law, but for me to have brothers-in-law, I need to leave. I will cheer them on the sidelines.
"What should we do, Belfast?"
"Behind the painting near the stairs is a hidden room we can use to access the passageway. We can continue after that." I nod my head and tightly follow Belfast as we silently exit my room. Belfast instantly cast a deafening dome around us as soon as we exited my room. "Please don't stray far, my master."
With extreme caution, we both walk down the hallway. The surrealness of this whole ordeal is only heightened as we sneak around the hallway, past the patrolling knights. I walked this hallway with pride and joy and yet, now I'm sneaking around with determination and fear. To think that my world would be turned upside down so fast…
"Ssshhh…" We reached the painting that is just before the stairs. Belfast rubs her fingers on the painting's lower frame and presses a hidden button. With a silent creak, the painting tilt opens like a door. "Quickly, my master." I hurriedly jumped into the hidden space, and Belfast instantly closed the painting behind us. "This passageway leads to an underground river. It connects to the River Thames, where we can continue our journey from there." I nod at Belfast's explanation and continue to follow her as we walk through the tight, suffocating brick passageway. "!"
"...I advise you not to continue your path." Belfast suddenly stopped, and in our way was Sheffield, the maid that mother assigned to me. The thing about Sheffield is, she is a part of our espionage organization, which Wales is close to. This is bad! She knew! "...May I suggest using the other river, Belfast?"
"Huh? What do you mean, Sheffield? Are you not here to stop us?"
"...I was assigned to serve Prince Igo. …This is simply that. …I'm simply helping my master."
"Sheffield…"
"...Some important people would be coming through the underground river that you intend to use, so use the other one."
"But the other one is…"
"What's wrong with the other one?" I asked both of them since I don't know what they're talking about.
"...Unlike this one, the other river's dock is less maintained as the river is deemed unfit for royal use." In short, the first route has a dock, and the underground river has been expanded so boats can easily go in and out. The second one doesn't share the same fate. It's older, the dock is rotten, the river flow varies from nonexistent to raging, and the cave isn't uniform in size. The main problem, however…
"The second river leads to the sea." Which is hours away from here, so Belfast and I would be sailing in a dinky wooden boat underground for hours. Sounds hellish. "There must be another way."
"No." I grip Belfast's hand to tell her my answer. "We can not wait for even a minute, Belfast. They might find us, and you will surely receive heavy punishment. I will commit suicide if they give you the death penalty."
"My master…"
"Let's take it." If someone has built a dock for that underground river, then that means that someone has taken it before.
"...Wonderful decision making, my master." Sheffield gave me a curtsy bow. "...Please follow me." Sheffield presses a random brick on the wall, and a hidden doorway emerges as bricks slide down. "...I've taken your baggage and put it on the boat, so rest assured."
"Sheffield… Join us." I can't leave her here now that she has a part in my escape. She'll receive punishment if my family knows. "We can always have a room for one more."
"...No." Sheffield coldly answers as we reach the dock. It clearly has seen better days with broken and rotten woods that creak every time you step on it. "...Someone needs to cover your tracks, and no one is better suited for that role than me." Sheffield stands in the doorway, not stepping even a single foot in the dock as Belfast and I walk past her and scan the boat that we will be using.
"Sheffield…"
"...If you want to thank me, then please make sure that we never see each other again."
"Are you sure you don't want to join us? The boat still has room." The boat that we will be using is not some ordinary wooden boat. It's longer than an ordinary boat while also having some lower hulls. It's uncomfortably close to the water line. In the middle of the boat was our stuff plus some food, an oil lamp, and a canary in a birdcage.
"...My master, please take care of yourself and Belfast for me." She didn't say directly what her answer was, but that alone is enough for me.
"I… promise." Belfast grabs my hand and pulls me toward the boat. The time is nigh for our departure.
"...Take care, Mister Igo and Miss Belfast." Sheffield gives us a final curtsy bow before turning around and disappearing into the brick passage.
"Master…"
"Let's go, Belfast." We both jump into the boat and untie the mooring line. The underground river flow immediately catches us and pushes us away from the rotten dock and into the darkness of the cave. "Ignite." I cast a spell on the oil lamp wick and lit it on fire.
"How are you feeling, my master?"
"Belfast… I'm just Igo now. I'm not your master anymore. People would look at us weirdly if you still called me that."
"I guess so… Igo. Ehehehe~~" Well, the cave might be dark, but at least I have 2 light sources with me.
The journey in the underground river was varied. At one time, we reach a massive underground lake where we have to paddle our way toward the sound of running water to continue our journey. The oil lamp doesn't do anything other than light the closest area to us, so we can only rely on our ears, but the cave also causes sounds to echo, so it took some time before we found the continuation of the river.
The other memorable part was the part where Belfast and I had to lie on the boat because the ceiling had dropped so low that it scraped the hull of the boat. Not the side of the hull, but the upper side. Thank God that I'm not claustrophobic. Thankfully, Hood taught me water serpent, and unlike her, I use it in a more practical way.
"O Poseidon. This humble one request of you the permission to perform just a fraction of your power. Water Serpent."
The boat sailed faster as tens of water serpents hugged the hull of the boat and pushed it to go faster. It's honestly scary every time the ceiling scrapes the boat, but Wales taught me to manage my breathing to stay calm, which makes me able to control my water serpents even under so much stress.
"Wonderful, Igo!" Belfast joyously celebrates as we pass that claustrophobic part of the journey. "If it wasn't for you, we might still be under that ceiling for hours!"
"I could only be here because of you." Belfast's existence surely helps me calm down. Just thinking about her with me causes my emotions to lock in. Most of the journey, however, is just a calm sail through the darkness with the sound of water flowing and drips of water trickling setting the atmosphere.
"Would you like to have coffee, Igo?"
"We have coffee?" Belfast giggles as she bends forward and rummages through our stuff. She brings out a thermostat and a cloth bag. Belfast pour the contents of the cloth bag into a small cup and then pour the hot water into said cup. "Oh wow~~ This is like a picnic!"
"Fufufu~~ I would prefer to have a picnic on the surface, my love." Fair point. Belfast gave me the cup, which I gratefully took. It smells wonderful and tastes holy! "Oh? Love, look!" Belfast was unusually excited as she pointed into the water, so I quickly looked.
"Oh wow!" It's like we're sailing in a river of stars as small bioluminescent fishes swim all around us. The scenery of the cave changes from the suffocating darkness to a fantasy one with stars spreading through the cave and a river. "If I knew how deep this river is, I would've dived right in!"
"Fufufu~~ Please refrain from doing so, my love. You might catch a cold." I can only imagine how dreadful this journey is without Belfast. Honestly, how did the first guy sail through here without having his own Belfast is beyond me. I think I might go crazy. "My master! Look!" This time, Belfast is pointing at the end of our cave journey, the sea.
"Wait, what!? That was so fast!" They said we'll be here for hours, but that feels like mere minutes! I hasten the water serpents so we can exit this cave ASAP, and the feeling of relief when we exited the cave could not be described with words but only with numbers, which is 100000000. "So what's our next move, my cutie patootie?"
"Fufufu~~ We should quickly change our clothes and find a dock where we can board a proper ship, my love."
"Where are we going?"
"The town that shares a name with me."
Years go by. At first, there was a lot of commotion when everyone found out that I was missing. Belfast and I have to lay low and live in a secluded farm in the forest, living purely off nature. We eat what we forage and hunt. We boil our water straight from the river. We have to occasionally enter the town to buy clothes, but instead of that, Belfast bought balls of different kinds of textiles so that she can make our clothes on her own.
Life in the wild lands wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Having magic spells helps. Hunting with arrows that can bend their trajectory, carrying liters of water using water serpents, and lighting fires using magic to cook and preserve our food. Upkeep is also not as dreadful with my wife, who has learnt the spell 'levitate'. We don't need to climb the ladder as much since Belfast can easily lift me or anything up wherever I need. Sawing, hammering, and the rest of those activities do require a hands-on approach, but it's not like I need to do it every day.
"Love~~ Bella is searching for you~~"
"Yeah! I'm over here!"
A mere few days after we arrived here, Belfast and I officially became lovers. We asked a local priest in a small church, and he agreed. He also became our only witness. I became good friends with him and occasionally give him gifts.
"Papa~~"
"Ahahaha~~ Be careful, my sweetie~~"
I changed my name to Igo Johnson, and Belfast took that family name, and more importantly, we were blessed with a daughter, whom we named Bella. She looks exactly like her mother, just cuter and more innocent.
"Ahahaha~~ Are we going to move, Papa?"
"Yeah… I already sold this farm. Don't you say you want to live in town, sweetie?"
"I did… But leaving is sad…"
"Ahahaha~~ It sure is, but you have a lot more friends in town, no? You will be closer to them, so you can play with them all day now."
"Yeah!"
After years of living in the forest, Belfast and I decided to move into town now that the search for me has been concluded. I don't know what my father and mother are thinking, but I hope nothing but wellness for them.
"You ready, dear?"
"Mhm~~" With Bella in one arm and holding Belfast's hand in the other, we enter the carriage and drive it into town. We have moved our stuff earlier in the week, so it's now just us who are left on this farm. The sight of the lonely farm in the forest shrinking is sad. I had used it in my earlier years to hide from the knights, so leaving it pulled on my heartstrings. Nevertheless, I want Bella to have a better environment to grow up in. Alongside kids her age, and not just with Belfast and me.
"Ah! That's our home!" Bella joyously exclaimed.
We bought a three-story cottage. We renovated the ground floor to be a restaurant that has been going now for about a month. Luckily for us, our restaurant caught on and even has regulars now. Belfast and Bella act as cooks and waitresses while I tend to the backside with logistics, taxes, administration, and such. I had experienced talking with people during my day as a prince, so it's easy for me to read people and create a fair trade agreement. A win-win solution for everyone is a recipe for long-lasting business after all.
"Are we going to open the restaurant, Papa?"
"You and Mama have to wear your uniform first, cutie."
Rather than throwing away her maid uniform, Belfast decides that she can use it as a waitress uniform. Bella's eyes were shining like crazy when she saw her mother wear her maid uniform and beg Belfast for one. Lucky for her, she has a very capable mother, and soon enough, Belfast sews a maid uniform for Bella.
"We're done!"
"Fufufu~~ Now, now, Miss maid in training~~ A maid should be able to control her emotions."
"AH! Sorry!" GOD! They're so fucking adorable! It makes me want to have another daughter with Belfast!
Bella runs to the window and flips the sign to open, and people quickly fill the seats. I guess it's lunch time, so that's understandable. Nowhere else can these people get affordable food with such good taste other than my wife's cooking.
"Ey Mister Igo! We put the shipment in the back as usual!" A group of people enter the restaurant and then takes a seat. "Can we get a discount, though?"
"Miss Pearl gave you a letter for me?"
"No…"
"Then no."
"Oh come on!"
It's nice to have this kind of relationship where I can joke around with a lot of people. I would never experience this if I were still a prince. People would be too scared to enrage me, so they would keep their heads down and tone low, but now, we can joke around no problem.
"Remember Belfast, no discount for them this time," I said to my wife as I left the restaurant and walked around the back to see the shipments. Just like they said, boxes of vegetables, meat, spices, and fruits are lined up properly behind the restaurant. "Let's see…" I start counting and inspecting the shipments. It's not that I don't trust Miss Pearl, but it's better to be safe than sorry.
*Step* *Step* *Step*
"What is it, love? Did we run out of butter faster than expected?"
"Yes, we do, dear husband."
"Fufufu~~ Shall we check the kitchen together, my love?"
"!" It can't be! I instantly turned around with cold sweats pouring down my back and quickly realized that my biggest fear had just come through. "How…? Why…?" Standing behind me were my 2 sisters, whom I had not seen in years.
"Aw, dear husband~~ There's nothing stronger than love, you know?"
"Should we go back home, my love?"
"Behold, my victory trophy!"
"Look at him, fooling everyone to have things his way."
"I thought sending you into a garden of flowers would soften you up. You're still as much of an asshole as you were before."
"Igo, can we have a moment?"
"How many?"
