Chapter 108: With Cassandra
Cornelia’s anger was calmed thanks to Cassandra and Lily’s efforts.
I can’t believe Cornelia remembered her promise to marry me all these years… Even though I didn’t know, I’ve really been rubbing her the wrong way all this time…
I only wanted to make Cornelia happy, yet our feelings were this misaligned…
However, it might not exactly be a case of “adversity strengthens the foundations,” but it was good that I learned Cornelia’s feelings.
Apparently, Cassandra played a big part in persuading Cornelia. She just arrived at this house, and for things to suddenly turn out like this, I feel somewhat sorry for her.
I also owe her for persuading Cornelia. I must cherish Cassandra even more.
And so, Cassandra and I…
“………”
“………”
My room, utterly silent. It’s not just me here; Cassandra, changed into her nightclothes, is here too. The first night a married couple spends together. In other words, it’s that kind of night.
Including my previous life, I have no experience with this sort of thing. Cassandra, being a nobleman’s daughter, probably has no experience either. I’m anxious. Will it go well?
I couldn’t even manage a proper kiss, you know? I’m nothing but anxious.
I’m incredibly nervous. My throat is parched.
“Dietfried-sama, do you have any experience?”
“…No.”
“You are thirteen, after all. Do you know what we are about to do?”
“Yeah.”
“You’re quite precocious, aren’t you?”
Cassandra chuckled. I’m thirteen. And Cassandra is eighteen. Could it be that, as the older one, she’s trying to lead me?
But I’m a reincarnated person. If you count my previous life, being led by a girl who hasn’t even lived half as long as I have felt somehow embarrassing.
So, I overcame my anxiety and spoke.
“I’ll be as gentle as I can. Also, please call me Dee.”
“Yes. Please be gentle. Please call me Dora as well.”
“Yeah. Well then… Dora.”
“Yes, Dee.”
I reached out to Cassandra and led her onto the bed.
Cassandra didn’t refuse and took my hand.
◇
“Fwaah…”
It was amazing. Just, utterly amazing.
“Hah, hah, hah, hah, hah…”
On the bed, illuminated only by the moonlight. Cassandra lay there, breathing heavily. Large teardrops welled in the corners of her eyes.
I thought I had been gentle in my own way, but… was it still not enough?
Cassandra’s ample, pale chest, rising and falling heavily. As if drawn to it, I reached out my hand towards her chest.
“Dee…?”
“Dora, I’m sorry…”
“Eh?”
“I’m sorry. Can we… one more time?”
“Eh? Eh!? Wait, Dee? Let’s take a short break, mmph…!”
“I don’t think I can hold back anymore.”
◇
“Beast…”
“………”
“Dee is a beast…”
“………”
The next morning. I was prostrating myself before Cassandra’s tear-filled, accusing eyes.
After that, I ended up doing it with Cassandra many more times… I think I was quite unreasonable with a girl on her first time.
Towards the end, I just forced my desires on Cassandra as she cried and begged, “Please stop…” It’s no wonder Cassandra calls me a beast.
“I’m sorry… It was my first time, and I couldn’t control myself…”
Her disheveled black hair. Her black eyes, teary as she looked at me. Her slender, pale shoulders, trembling slightly. Her hand, gripping the futon tightly. Everything about Cassandra looked so alluring, it made me want to hold her again.
“Even so, I believe there’s a limit to things…”
“You’re right…”
You’re so right, I can’t say anything.
“It hurt…”
“I’m truly sorry…”
I never thought my self-control was this flimsy. At this rate, I can’t laugh at Reinhardt.
“You might not believe me now, but Dora was so captivating that I lost myself. It’s still true now. Reason and desire are fighting within me.”
“………”
“It’s true. I’m surprised myself that things turned out this way.”
“Could you say that again, please?”
“Say what?”
“Was I really that captivating?”
“Yeah. Dora, you are captivating. Enough to change my entire sense of values.”
“I see…”
“………”
I felt like the prickly aura Cassandra was emitting softened just a little.
“I shall forgive you this time.”
“Really? Thank you. I’m sorry.”
“But, from next time, I would appreciate it if you could be more considerate of my body…”
“Next time,” huh… It seems Cassandra isn’t going to refuse being intimate with me.
“About that… I’ll do my best…?”
“That’s not a definite promise, is it?”
“I’m not confident about what will happen next time myself…”
I want to promise, but I don’t even know what will happen with myself. I never imagined I was keeping such a beast inside me…
I feel bad for Cassandra, but this is the one thing I can’t promise.
“Please don’t make such a tearful face. I understand. It is a wife’s duty to quell her husband’s desires, after all.”
Cassandra said, deliberately in a cheerful voice. I made her worry about me.
“Thank you, Cassandra. I love you.”
“My, you’re smooth.”
Then, we both ended up laughing.
I’ll really be careful from next time.
