Return of the Former Hero

“Let’s hear it if you have an excuse.”

Having been ordered a troublesome task, it was the first thing I said to Rithina upon returning to my own room after finishing the audience with the king.

“Really, can’t esteemed father show some flexibility too.

If you are the king even for an instant, a decision should be made with a snap.”

Rithina is not concerned about my gaze and words at all.

Far from an excuse, the king is criticized.

“I have not heard about such a thing.”

“FUHYAaa!? Hya, Hyame……!” (TN: she is trying to say stop)

Holding Rithina’s cheeks with both hands, i kneaded them like a mochi. (TN: Japanese rice cake) 𝑓𝑟eℯ𝒘𝗲𝑏n𝑜𝚟𝙚𝒍.𝒄o𝐦

What soft cheeks!

….No, this isn’t the situation for that.

I’ll release my hands as it’s not possible for her to speak properly.

“……Haruto-kun. You’re cruel……” 𝗳r𝗲𝙚w𝐞𝚋𝘯𝚘ѵ𝗲l.𝑐oｍ

Rithina says while massaging her cheeks that were released.

What’s cruel?

That’s my line.

Just because the persuasion of her father isn’t progressing much, the person using me as an excuse that way is cruel!

When she said our body were placed together, blood was seriously drained from me! (TN: the actual phrase is ‘put on top of each other’)

“If you want to massage it so much, then this way please.”

Rithina sandwiches her chest with both her arms.

Her breast is suddenly pushed up from her chest that was caught in between.

……

Fuu.

Rithina has become foolish.

It’s a big mistake if you think I can be manipulated every time and anywhere you do something erotic.

After all, I spent the first 3 days of the new year in an extremely deprave state of sleeping, eating and having sex.

As expected, I can keep my calm for about 1 day.

“In other words, you have nothing to say?”

“!?”

I say it once again.

Rithina is surprised that her seductive technique isn’t effective on me.

I understood well how easy she considers me to be.

L, let’s live more rationally from now onward.

“B, because….. Despite what it looks like, I thought it would be over if esteemed father approves.”

Saying so, Rithina becomes timid.

It’s rare for Rithina to look downhearted.

My feeling of sadism is a little tickled.

……

Well, the matter can’t be helped since it’s decided.

We have to leave the Imperial capital and head for the territory of the marquis in a few days time.

About that, it’s already fine.

However, isn’t punishment necessary for Rithina who set me up for good?

Luckily, it’s the morning now.

Sharon and Laurier should be training with Leon’s group.

Hmm.

Eating my own words quickly, I decided to put a wicked idea into practice.

That’s right, that reminds me, it’s something I vow to do the other day isn’t it?

Today, I will fulfill my vow after this.

“Kyaa!? ……..Ha, Haruto-kun?”

Rithina is lifted in my arms suddenly.

It’s a princess hold.

Carrying a princess in my arms.

It’s isn’t something that is experienced easily.

Rithina doesn’t resist particularly, and behaves obediently in my arms with a red face.

Fufufu.

What on earth did you misunderstand?

Holding Rithina like this, I walked out from the room.

“Errr?……Haruto-kun?”

Was it unexpected? Rithina is perplexed.

Did you think you were being taken to the bed?

How sweet.

She’s truly sweet like a red-bean soup.

And because of such a thing, the persuasion with the king doesn’t go well.

I will teach her the severity of this world after this.

When walking down the corridor carrying Rithina, we encounter Mina.

Mina is wearing a surprised look of ‘What’s the matter?’

“Is help necessary?”

However, was it because my intentions were guessed immediately? She approaches to check if assistance is required.

Yes.

As expected of my exclusive maid.

Completely!

…..that’s right.

Should I have Mina assist too?

“I’ll rely on you.”

“Certainly.”

Mina descended to the basement before us, and opens the door to the room.

“Eh? Eh? The basement?

Was there a basement?”

Rithina is starting to feel uneasy as expected.

However, I pay no attention and heads downstairs to the basement.

And, Rithina is lowered on to the bed of the basement.

“This is……”

Rithina looks around the room.

She understands what kind of room this is with just the numerous tools before her eyes.

And she starts panicking.

I can understand.

“Haruto-sama. This.”

Mina presents a collar from the side.

As expected, she understands me well.

Since I used this place with Laurier previously, I was actually a little addicted and used it several times.

Similar to now, I had Mina help at that time too, and because Mina followed along, my idea was understood.

“U, Uhhh…….Haruto-kun?

What kind of situation on earth is this?”

Rithina asks anxiously on the bed.

“It’s punishment.”

“P, P, Punishment?”

Although Rithina asks again, she is definitely asking after understanding.

Well, because she was already making a face filled with a little anticipation.

“From now, I will teach Rithina-sama a world that is again different from these 3 days.”

Saying so, I wrap the collar around Rithina.

“Kyaaa!

S, S, Such, to the me who is a princess, such, a collar like this”

Rithina is resisting only with her mouth.

But her neck is presented properly so that I can collar her easily.

Her highness princess in high spirits.

“Hmm.

With this, you are already my property.

Service me obediently.”

“Kuu.

Even if you obtain my body, you will never steal my heart!”

What is it, I wonder?

I wonder why are such precise words are coming out from this princess?

Perhaps, more than Laurier, she might routinely enjoy the delusion of being treated harshly.

Are you serious.

Erotic.

All right, it’s something for me to do.

If Rithina is taking part, I have to do my best too.

“Until when are you going to say that, HUH!”

Saying so, I lay my hands on Rithina’s clothes.

The truth is I want to see them torn and ripped off, but as the clothes seem to be expensive, I took them off normally.

Although I tried my best, I’m just an ordinary citizen.

Rithina is a little dissatisfied.

W, was it okay even if I tore it?

“Haruto-sama.”

Mina holds out the rope.

Nice timing.

“Kuu……!”

Humiliatingly, Rithina glares at it.

However, I deprived her body of freedom with the rope.

It has become enjoyable.

The punishment for Rithina continues this way until the afternoon.

Looking for me who did not turn up even though it was already noon, Sharon and Laurier came to the basement too.

When you are looking for me, why do you check the basement before anywhere else?

I really don’t understand well.

……And, the 2 of them who came searching got involved anyway, and the deprave new year prolonged by another day in the end.
