\text("El")
This way, please.
\endtext

\text("Beatrice")
Thank you, El.
\endtext

\text
As Beatrice entered the room, she was enveloped in a gentle,
pleasant fragrance.
\endtext

\text
The air was so fresh, it felt as if she were in the middle
of a forest.
\endtext

\text("Tiela")
Welcome, Beatrice-san.
\endtext

\text
Following the rich aroma, Beatrice found herself before
Tiela, the owner of the room.
\endtext

\text
Tiela stood up from her chair and smiled gracefully.
\endtext

\text("Beatrice")
It's an honor to be invited, Tiela.
\endtext

\text("Tiela")
I'm sorry for calling you here on such short notice.

\endtext

\text("Tiela")
I managed to get some excellent tea, and I wanted you to try
it, Beatrice-san.

\endtext

\text("Beatrice")
Oh, how lovely. I've been noticing a wonderful scent―could
it be this?

\endtext

\text("Tiela")
Yes. It's called Ezawn from Lusario. It's a very fragrant
herb that grows only a little in the northeast.

\endtext

\text("Tiela")
El. Would you please brew some for Beatrice-san right away?

\endtext

\text("El")
Of course! Leave it to me.
\endtext

\text
El moved briskly, preparing the tea with practiced hands.

\endtext

\text
Beatrice sat across from Tiela and sampled the sweets she
was offered.
\endtext

\text("Tiela")
I hope we didn't catch you at a busy time?
\endtext

\text("Beatrice")
Oh, it's fine. I was just going around talking to everyone.

\endtext

\text("Beatrice")
I was planning to ask you two as well, so this works out
perfectly.
\endtext

\text("Tiela")
Oh, you wanted to talk? About what, I wonder?
\endtext

\text("El")
You mean about what we think of Caym-sama, right?
\endtext

\text("Beatrice")
Oh, spot on. You figured it out quickly.
\endtext

\text("El")
Everyone said you asked them, Beatrice-san.

\endtext

\text("El")
I've been wondering why you've been going around asking
that.
\endtext

\text("El")
Here you are―fresh herbal tea from Ezawn, a royal favorite.

\endtext

\text
El handed Beatrice the freshly brewed herbal tea.

\endtext

\text("Beatrice")
Thank you. Mmm, it really does smell wonderful.

\endtext

\text
Beatrice took a sip of the tea and let out a contented sigh.

\endtext

\text("Tiela")
About what you mentioned earlier―why have you been asking
everyone that?

\endtext

\text("Beatrice")
Hehe, well, I'm his big sister. Of course I'm curious about
what everyone thinks of my little brother.

\endtext

\text("El")
Um, um! Beatrice-san, is it true that you're Caym-sama's
older sister?

\endtext

\text("Beatrice")
Yes, it's true. I was separated from him by death when I was
eleven.
\endtext

\text("Beatrice")
Since then, that child has lived alone for over a hundred
years.
\endtext

\text("Beatrice")
...I really did something awful to him.
\endtext

\text("El")
S-Separated by death... Then, the story about being
resurrected from the horn is...
\endtext

\text("Beatrice")
Yes, that's true too. Well, it's a hard story to believe, I
know.
\endtext

\text("Tiela")
I'm sorry, she's just very curious. But I believe what you
say.
\endtext

\text("El")
If Tiela-sama says so, then I believe it too!

\endtext

\text("Beatrice")
Hehe, thank you. ―But you know, when I think about it, you
two are people whose country was conquered, right?

\endtext

\text("Beatrice")
So why do you both look so cheerful?

\endtext

\text
Beatrice asks while nibbling on a snack.
\endtext

\text("Beatrice")
Ah, I don't mean it sarcastically. It's a question out of
pure curiosity.
\endtext

\text("Tiela")
Yes, I understand. Well, it's true that I was the princess
of Lusario, and now I'm in the position of the conquered.

\endtext

\text("Tiela")
But Risbell-san is ruling the country wonderfully. We're
allowed to live freely too.

\endtext

\text("El")
That's right, that's right. We've really been taken care of
by Risbell-san.
\endtext

\text
El nods while munching on a snack.
\endtext

\text("Tiela")
It might sound strange, but honestly, I'm glad we were
conquered by the Demon Lord's army.

\endtext

\text("El")
Tiela-sama, you always looked so sad every day when you were
queen.
\endtext

\text("Tiela")
That's true. ...It's pathetic to say, but I just didn't have
a talent for politics.
\endtext

\text("Tiela")
Ludoll took advantage of that, and as a result, I let his
tyranny go unchecked.
\endtext

\text("Tiela")
But now... I'm really happy. The people of the forest are
more lively than before, and they seem happy too.

\endtext

\text("Tiela")
That's what makes me happiest of all.
\endtext

\text("El")
I'm also so happy to see Tiela-sama looking so happy every
day!
\endtext

\text("Tiela")
Hehe, thank you♪
\endtext

\text("Beatrice")
I see. That's the most important thing.
\endtext

\text
Beatrice sips her tea as she watches the two of them smile
at each other.
\endtext

\text("Beatrice")
Can I ask one more thing? You... Caym slept with you, didn't
he?
\endtext

\text
With a mischievous grin, Beatrice pokes Tiela's chest.

\endtext

\text("Tiela")
Kya!
\endtext

\text
Tiela jumps and covers her chest with both hands in
surprise.
\endtext

\text("Beatrice")
What you said earlier, that was as the queen, right?

\endtext

\text("Beatrice")
So, how do you feel personally? Your country was conquered,
and on top of that, you were made to do lewd things...

\endtext

\text("Beatrice")
I doubt you have any good feelings toward Caym, do you?

\endtext

\text("Tiela")
...I see.
\endtext

\text
Tiela quietly nodded as she said that.

\endtext

\text("El")
C-come on, Beatrice-san. Please don't tease Tiela-sama too
much.

\endtext

\text("Tiela")
No, it's fine, El.
\endtext

\text
El quickly tried to come to her rescue, but Tiela stopped
her.
\endtext

\text("Tiela")
To answer your question... as for Caym-sama, I don't feel
anything in particular right now.
\endtext

\text("Tiela")
Ah, saying 'nothing in particular' might be a bit
misleading.
\endtext

\text("Tiela")
To put it simply, I don't hate Caym-sama.

\endtext

\text("Tiela")
In fact, um... it's actually the opposite. I even find him
rather likable.
\endtext

\text("Tiela")
He's a bit rough, but never crude. He's kind, and strong...
I think he's a wonderful man.

\endtext

\text("Beatrice")
...Are you serious about that?
\endtext

\text
After hearing Tiela's answer, Beatrice was left speechless.

\endtext

\text("Beatrice")
I mean, I was the one who asked, but being able to say that
after being raped... that's not exactly normal, you know.

\endtext

\text("Tiela")
You're right, it might not be normal. But the truth is, your
younger brother is a very charming person.

\endtext

\text("El")
Hmm. It's true that Caym-sama is really kind to us, but if
you ask if he's wonderful... hmm.

\endtext

\text
Even El couldn't quite agree with her mistress this time.
\endtext

\text("Tiela")
W-well... I have to admit, being made to have sex in front
of everyone was really embarrassing...

\endtext

\text("El")
Exactly! It's just not normal, not at all.
\endtext

\text
El protested with a pout.
\endtext

\text("Beatrice")
Sorry about my little brother.
\endtext

\text("Tiela")
No, no. I don't mind anymore.
\endtext

\text
Beatrice and Tiela smiled at each other.

\endtext

\text
But among them, only El still looked dissatisfied.

\endtext

\text("El")
Even if Tiela-sama doesn't mind, I do.

\endtext

\text("El")
Seriously, to rape the queen of a country in front of
everyone...
\endtext

\text("El")
And he came so much inside her. What if she gets pregnant?

\endtext

\text("El")
And then, just because Tiela-sama didn't resist, he did it
over and over again...
\endtext

\text("Tiela")
E-El, stop, that's enough!
\endtext

\text
El's monologue must have brought back memories of the past.

\endtext

\text
Tiela, her face bright red, covered El's mouth.

\endtext

\text("El")
Huh? Ah, sorry. Was I saying that out loud?

\endtext

\text("Beatrice")
Oh my, he came inside you so many times. Maybe... there's
already a child of Caym's in that belly of yours.

\endtext

\text("El")
T-That's unforgivable! Getting Tiela-sama pregnant without
my permission!

\endtext

\text
With a clatter, El stood up from her chair.
\endtext

\text("El")
I'm going to go complain to him right now!
\endtext

\text("Tiela")
E-El!? Wait, El, hold on!

\endtext

\text
Tiela tried to stop her, but El, her head full of rage,
didn't listen.
\endtext

\text
Just like that, she dashed out of the room.
\endtext

\text("Tiela")
I'm not even pregnant yet...
\endtext

\text("Beatrice")
Hehe, but if you were, would you keep it?

\endtext

\text("Tiela")
Well, yes... I think I would. I'm sure I'd give birth.

\endtext

\text
Tiela blushed and gently stroked her own belly.

\endtext

\text("Beatrice")
I see. I'm glad we got to talk today.

\endtext

\text("Tiela")
Me too. Let's stay close from now on.

\endtext

\text
After that, Beatrice and Tiela enjoyed some sweets and
chatted about trivial things.

\endtext

\text
Meanwhile...
\endtext

\text("El")
Caym-samaaaah!!
\endtext

\text
With a bang, El burst into Caym's room.

\endtext

\text("Caym")
W-What the!?
\endtext

\text
Caym, who had been masturbating with an illusion stone,
froze in an utterly pathetic state.
\endtext

\text("El")
How dare you get my Tiela-sama pregnant!

\endtext

\text("Caym")
W-What!? Tiela is having my child!?

\endtext

\text
Caym threw the illusion stone into the storage box and put
on his pants at lightning speed.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
This is no time for jerking off! Hey, have Risbell start
preparing for the celebration!
\endtext

\text("Caym")
No, before that, assemble a team of doctors! Watch over
Tiela around the clock!

\endtext

\text
The guard outside the door rushed off in a panic at Caym's
orders.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
So it's finally my turn to have a child! El, aren't you
pregnant yet?
\endtext

\text("El")
I'm not pregnant!
\endtext

\text("Caym")
I see. Then how about I knock you up right here and now!

\endtext

\text("El")
Go find someone else! I'm absolutely not in the mood for
that right now!
\endtext

\text("Caym")
Fwahahaha! Right now, I feel like I could get any woman
pregnant!
\endtext

\text
Caym's triumphant laughter echoed through the labyrinth.
\endtext

\text
Later, when he learned that the pregnancy was just El's
misunderstanding, a dejected Caym holed up in his room for
three days.
\endtext

\text
It was said that even Beatrice had never seen him so
disappointed.
\endtext
