\text("El")
Tiela-sama, are you here?
\endtext

\text
El was in a corner deep within the labyrinth, where the
private rooms were lined up.
\endtext

\text
She stood in front of the room where her former mistress
stayed and knocked on the door.
\endtext

\text("Tiela")
El? Come in.
\endtext

\text("El")
Ah, yes... Excuse me, Tiela-sama.

\endtext

\text
The bedroom assigned to Tiela.
\endtext

\text
As expected of someone who was once a queen, the furnishings
were beautiful and elegant.
\endtext

\text
And somehow, the room felt calming... It naturally conveyed
the gentle heart and femininity of its owner.

\endtext

\text("El")
(Ugh... Even if it wasn't Caym-sama, I can see why anyone
would rather visit here than my room.)

\endtext

\text
Remembering her own childish, messy room, El couldn't help
but sigh.
\endtext

\text("Tiela")
What's wrong, El? Sighing with such a gloomy look on your
face.
\endtext

\text("El")
Ah, no... It's nothing, really...

\endtext

\text
El found herself captivated by the sight of Tiela before
her.
\endtext

\text
She had always been a beautiful woman, but―
\endtext

\text("Tiela")
...Hm? Is there something on my face?

\endtext

\text("El")
Ah, no... I just thought you looked beautiful... really...

\endtext

\text("Tiela")
Oh? El, you've learned how to flatter people lately, haven't
you?
\endtext

\text("El")
N-no! It's not flattery. You really are beautiful...

\endtext

\text
Tiela had served for a long time as 'Queen' in the royal
palace of Luct=Lusario.
\endtext

\text
Back then, the responsibilities that came with her position
weighed heavily on her.
\endtext

\text
El had also worked hard to try to lighten that burden, which
was clearly too much for Tiela to bear―

\endtext

\text
But she always felt her efforts weren't enough.
\endtext

\text
Now that she had handed over her position as 'King' to Caym,
Tiela could finally relax.

\endtext

\text
Her expression had softened, and perhaps because her fatigue
had faded, her skin and hair looked more lustrous―she seemed
years younger.
\endtext

\text
And another reason―being held by Caym and made into a
'woman'―was surely part of her beauty now.

\endtext

\text
The joy of being loved as a woman seemed to make the already
beautiful Tiela shine from within.

\endtext

\text("El")
(Ugh... I get it... With Tiela-sama around, it's only
natural that I'd be forgotten...)

\endtext

\text("Tiela")
What's wrong, El? You've really been sighing a lot today.

\endtext

\text("El")
Ah, yes. Actually...
\endtext

\text
Maybe admitting total defeat had finally let her be honest
with herself.
\endtext

\text
El thought about that 'contract' she made with Caym―

\endtext

\text
The promise she made to give up her virginity in exchange
for saving Tiela.
\endtext

\text
Even after Tiela was safely rescued, Caym never once
demanded that she fulfill that promise.

\endtext

\text
―And the reason was probably because Caym was satisfied
after getting Tiela.

\endtext

\text
She confessed everything.
\endtext

\text("Tiela")
I see. So that's why you've been sighing so much today.

\endtext

\text("El")
Y-yes...
\endtext

\text
Tiela gave a small, gentle smile.

\endtext

\text("Tiela")
But honestly, I think that's fine. I don't regret becoming
the Demon King's woman like this, but―

\endtext

\text("Tiela")
El, I really hope you can end up with someone more normal,
even if he's plain or serious.

\endtext

\text("El")
...Another arranged marriage?
\endtext

\text
Back when she worked at the palace, Tiela had tried to set
her up a few times.

\endtext

\text
She always ran away, saying, 'It's too soon for me.'―

\endtext

\text
Tiela slowly shook her head.
\endtext

\text("Tiela")
I don't have the strength to do that anymore. I really wish
I could introduce you to a normal young man, though.

\endtext

\text("El")
Tiela-sama...
\endtext

\text("Tiela")
Anyway, if Caym-sama has forgotten about the promise, I
don't think you need to remind him.

\endtext

\text("Tiela")
I don't mind anymore... but at the very least, I don't want
your first time to be something you don't want, El.

\endtext

\text("El")
Yes... Tiela-sama.
\endtext

\text
El nodded obediently to Tiela―

\endtext

\text
But deep down, she couldn't help but wonder, just a little.

\endtext

\text("El")
(Do I... really not want it myself?)

\endtext

\text
She couldn't let Tiela find out. Tiela had always loved El's
childish cheerfulness.

\endtext

\text
She'd even once told her, 'Don't ever change.'

\endtext

\text
Even so―there was one thing El just had to ask Tiela.


\endtext

\text("El")
U-um! Tiela-sama... please, don't get mad, but...

\endtext

\text("Tiela")
What is it, El?
\endtext

\text("El")
Ah, um, well... w-what was sex like? I mean, with a man...


\endtext

\text("El")
Ah! S-sorry, I'm so sorry, I'm sorry! I-I said something so
rude to the Queen...

\endtext

\text
For a moment, Tiela looked completely stunned...

\endtext

\text
She smiled softly, forgiving the question with a gentle
laugh.
\endtext

\text("Tiela")
Raise your head, El. ...I'm no longer a queen. I'm just a
woman, like you.

\endtext

\text("El")
Tiela-sama...
\endtext

\text("Tiela")
Let's see... They say the first time hurts, but for me, it
wasn't that bad.
\endtext

\text("Tiela")
But he didn't go easy on me, so it was tough.

\endtext

\text("El")
Oh... Tiela-sama, that's so sad.
\endtext

\text("Tiela")
Hehe. But you know, that was only at the start.
\endtext

\text("El")
Huh? ...What do you mean?
\endtext

\text("Tiela")
After a while, I stopped caring about that sort of thing.

\endtext

\text("Tiela")
Feeling a man's strong body, being wanted by him... it made
me so happy.
\endtext

\text("Tiela")
When I took his seed inside me, I felt like I finally knew
true happiness in this world.
\endtext

\text("Tiela")
And then... I just wanted it to go on and on.

\endtext

\text("El")
Tiela-sama...
\endtext

\text("Tiela")
Well? Did that help at all?
\endtext

\text("El")
Eh? Ah, y-yes! Um... thank you so much!

\endtext

\text
Her cheeks burned hot and red, and she was too embarrassed
to let Tiela see.
\endtext

\text
El quickly bowed her head and hurried out of Tiela's room.

\endtext
