“Let go of me.”
I tried to shake off his hand forcefully. But my body had no strength, and I could only sway helplessly beneath the man’s thick grip.
“What bastard is it this time! The moment the Crown Prince runs off to the south, you’re already shaking your ass? If you’re going to spread it for anyone, why not me!”
Ah, so he wasn’t abandoned—just a pathetic loser throwing a tantrum? Then I don’t need to feel even a speck of guilt, right? Though even if he really was dumped, it’s not my responsibility.
“How dare you behave this way toward the Crown Princess! Move aside at once!”
I suppressed the moan that was about to escape and spoke as sternly as possible. The man’s lips twisted, and he grabbed my arm, pulling me toward the lounge door beside us. Then he threw me onto the hard marble floor.
“What the hell are you—!”
I was about to demand what he thought he was doing when he pressed down on both my shoulders.
“Crown Princess? Don’t make me laugh, you’re just a slave.”
“…What did you say?”
Had this person also participated in the slave auction? My body went cold, and the man sneered.
“The Crown Prince didn’t want to marry you, so he sold you as a slave, didn’t he? Everyone in the empire knows about it, yet you’re acting so high and mighty.”
So that rumor had spread? I’d only been with Forti and Raki this whole time, and I’d had no occasion to encounter Eldon’s concubines, so I had no idea. Though it made sense—there had been so many participants that day, it would have been stranger if it hadn’t become known.
In the original work, when it was revealed that Seha, one of the concubines, was of slave origins, he suffered tremendous humiliation. The nobles, including Rosenthal, didn’t care about the circumstances of his kidnapping—they cursed him as lowly simply for appearing at the auction.
But still, saying Eldon sold me? That rumor is way too malicious. There was no need to be intimidated by such false rumors. I glared at the man.
“I am His Highness the Crown Prince’s fiancé. If you commit any further rudeness, I will not forgive you.”
“Yet you haven’t even been given a wedding date.”
The wedding had been canceled, and over two weeks had passed without a new date being set. I had actually thought it was fortunate. But it seemed other nobles thought no date was coming out because Eldon disliked me. Well, I’d be kicked out soon enough anyway, so it wasn’t entirely wrong—but for now, I was still the Crown Prince’s fiancé.
I tried to shake off the man’s hand when suddenly a vibration started up from below. Damn it! Of all times!
The object inside began rubbing against my inner walls, forcing me into artificial pleasure. It was definitely a rotor with a magic stone inside. Damn it! Don’t waste precious magic stones on something like this!
Since I hadn’t returned, Arleigh must have turned on the vibration. Telling me to come back to the party hall. That damned bastard! He was determined to lure me to the secret garden somehow.
“Rosenthal, are you already aroused? Do you like my pheromones that much?”
The crazy bastard giggled. I can’t even feel your pathetic pheromones! I bit my lip and tried to escape, but he climbed on top of my waist and grabbed my shirt.
“Get… off, haa, me… nngh.”
As soon as I opened my mouth, unwanted sounds burst out. My inner walls trembled abnormally as arousal welled up.
I couldn’t let this happen. I stretched out my hands and flailed my feet, struggling, but the man easily ignored it. Then he grabbed and tore my shirt, showing a chilling smile.
“So it really is there. The slave brand.”
He reached toward the brand. So that’s why both Arleigh and this bastard suddenly went into heat and started acting out.
Because I was no longer a noble omega but just a slave.
I was experiencing firsthand all the humiliation and contempt that Seha had suffered in the original work. I bit down on the bastard’s hand as he pawed at my brand.
“You slave bastard, how dare you!”
His thick hand flew toward my face. I squeezed my eyes shut. But nothing happened. Instead, the weight pressing down on my body lessened, and the bastard screamed as he rolled across the floor.
“Are you alright?”
The red-haired man I’d seen at the party asked in a polite voice.
“Yes. I’m alri— Watch out! Behind you!”
Just as I was about to nod and say I was fine, the pervert got up again and rushed at the red-haired man. But the man simply extended his hand slightly without even turning around, and the pervert instantly disappeared without a trace.
So he was a mage. No wonder… I couldn’t sense mana or anything like that, but I could tell there was a mysterious aura about him.
“Are you alright? Are you injured anywhere?”
“Yes. Thank y— Hngh! Mmph!”
Damn it! The vibration of the rotor inside got even stronger. A signal urging me to hurry back to the party hall. But I felt like I’d die before even making it back to the party hall.
My body was hot from the unfamiliar stimulation of the hard object, and tears welled up because I hated myself for finding it pleasurable. I was gritting my teeth when the man helping me up hesitated.
“Young Master Chendewden, pardon me, but I must ask you one thing. Please answer honestly.”
“Yes?”
“By any chance, are you currently in the middle of enjoying… play?”
Though he was being polite, his voice was dry. If I’d sensed any lewd intent, I would have pushed him away immediately, but there wasn’t even a speck of it. Instead, he felt safe, like a police officer or an EMT.
“N-no, haa, I’m not. Nngh, it’s, it’s forced…”
“Then may I help you?”
Again, he asked in a voice devoid of any particular emotion. His formal attitude, as if he was simply helping because I looked troubled, actually put me at ease.
“Pl-please, hngh, mmph, please help. Nnngh…!”
In an instant, his finger slipped slightly into my mouth.
“Don’t bite your lip. You’ll get hurt. I’ll cast a soundproofing spell so nothing leaks out, so don’t worry.”
He meant I could let my moans out. His straight, clear voice put my mind at ease.
“I’ll remove your pants.”
“Hngh, yes…”
I should have said I’d do it myself, but I didn’t even have the time. The moment I barely managed to answer while writhing, my pants were pulled off. My penis, covered in white fluid, was revealed. I’d climaxed just from the stimulation at the back. And the chastity belt too…
Even in my dazed state, I felt like I’d go crazy from embarrassment, but there was no change in the man’s expression. His blue eyes just remained deeply sunken. His gaze was dry, without even surprise, let alone lust.
Belated regret washed over me. From the moment I first saw him, I’d thought I wanted to be friends. It would be hard to find someone who would treat me, an omega, without prejudice like this going forward. But after showing him this state, we could never meet again…
“There’s magic on it. If I forcibly remove it, a fire-based spell will activate.”
The man spoke with his finger on the leather of the chastity belt. He didn’t make any unnecessary contact.
But still, they really are brothers even if they hate each other. Eldon and Arleigh do the same things. Though the Third Prince was a bit more vicious. To cast a spell and not even tell me! I nearly lost my hand.
“St-stop, agh, nngh, please. I’ll, I’ll… do it. It’s… dangerous…”
If he touched it wrong, his hand might melt away. I barely managed to reach out and grab the man’s hand, and he gave a faint smile.
“Thank you for your concern. But it’s alright.”
He politely placed my hand on my upper chest, then put his hand on the chastity belt. At that moment, the man’s left eye turned red.
Blue and red heterochromatic eyes…
No way, it can’t be…
“Hereis?”
As the chastity belt shattered, the man looked at me with cold eyes.
“How do you know my name?”
It really was Hereis. Oh damn!
In <Three Crowns>, Hereis was called the Lord of Darkness. He was the Dark Emperor who ruled the places where the empire’s light didn’t reach, and it was said that everything happening in the underworld—gambling, prostitution, assassination, drugs—was all under Hereis’s feet.
In the original work, Rosenthal commissioned Hereis to assassinate Seha. But Hereis, captivated by Seha’s innocence, instead exposed all of Rosenthal’s crimes in detail.
Cornered, Rosenthal pinned all the crimes on Raki, and Raki ended up being executed.
Why is Hereis, who played a decisive role in Rosenthal’s downfall, here? He’s supposed to be a character who appears in the middle to late parts of the novel!
“I’ll ask again. How did you know my name? Young Master Rosenthal Chendewden.”
His voice grew even colder. Why is he acting like this over a name?
Oh, come to think of it, Hereis’s name was never directly spoken in <Three Crowns>. Right, he was only called Guild Master or Master. His name was only mentioned in the novel’s descriptions.
Could it be he’s hiding his name? He’s famous as the Lord of Darkness, but he never made his real name public?
“Nngh… F-first, let me… take care of this.”
Perhaps Arleigh’s patience had run out—even though not much time had passed, the vibration got even stronger. Now it wasn’t arousing so much as painful.
Forgetting my embarrassment, I reached toward my rear. But there was nothing there.
There’s no string or anything to pull it out with? He inserted a device without a safety mechanism? That pervert Arleigh!
Unable to help it, I tried to insert my finger inside, then looked at Hereis.
“Pl-please leave!”
“I need to hear how you knew my name.”
“Th-then, turn, agh, your, aah… turn around… nngh.”
“Understood.”
He stood up abruptly and turned toward the wall.
Damn it, to show this state to the Lord of Darkness. He was someone I wanted to pass by without any contact in the first place.
For now, I touched my rear. My fingers stuck stickily to my ass, which was covered in fluid. The vibration transmitted all the way to my buttocks, but I couldn’t bring myself to insert my finger inside.
But I couldn’t just stay like this. Gritting my teeth, I inserted my index finger into my anus. Then, because of the slick fluid, my finger was sucked inside with a squelch.
