“What do you think? If you want to know, come with me.”

The reckless bastard tried to grab my arm again, so I quickly dodged it.

“That’s why I’m telling you not to touch me casually. When you touch me, I get the creeps.”

“You……you know what will happen if you talk to me like that, right?”

“That’s my line. If you do anything to Percival, I’ll throw you into the abyss. Prepare yourself.”

“Na……!”

“Cu Sith!”

When a giant green dog jumped out from the summoning circle that instantly spread out at his feet, the brazen bastard was so surprised that he almost flinched.

“Wh…wh…what is that…?”

“You’re not going to tell me anything, are you? I’ll look for him myself. Cu Sith, find Percival as soon as possible.”

As I straddled his back, Cu Sith snorted and immediately ran off. He’s familiar with Percival’s scent, and the search area is inside this castle. Cu Sith must have already picked up Percival’s scent.

And while we’re at it, let Aurora know about our situation, just in case. Even if the other side had picked a fight with us first, they are from the Duke’s family after all. It would be less trouble for Aurora if she knew what was going on. The most difficult thing to deal with is when someone says they haven’t heard anything.

“Cait Sith!”

Cait Sith fell from the summoning circle drawn in the air and deftly landed on top of my head.

“Nyan! Did you call, master?”

“I’m sorry, but I want you to go to Aurora and tell her that this reckless bastard is trying to do something to Percival, so I’m going to stop him.”

“Nya! Received!”

Cait Sith fluttered off my head and disappeared. Cait Sith looks like a cat, so even if he wanders around the castle, he will be able to reach Aurora without anyone getting suspicious.

“Kya!”

“Wh, what! Is it a magical beast!?”

Cu Sith was running while avoiding people and things, but people passing by were screaming and it started to get a little noisy. Some people went weak at their knees and sat down.

“I’m sorry! My apologies!”

After all, it was too much for such a big dog to run around the royal castle. If it becomes too big a deal, cleaning up after it will be troublesome, so I transferred outside of the castle with Cu Sith.

With his nose, he would be able to smell Percival even from the outside, so it wouldn’t be a problem.

Cu Sith easily jumped over the garden’s shrubbery and flowerbeds until he reached the western residence, where he suddenly stopped and looked up. In front of Cu Sith’s line of sight, there was a room whose curtains were closed for some reason even though it was daytime.

I see, it is that room. Thank you very much for taking the trouble to make it so easy for us to understand.

“Thank you, Cu Sith.”

I patted Cu Xi’s head and sent him back to the phantom beast world, and then I transferred into the room that could be seen slightly through the curtains. No matter how narrow the gap is, as long as you can see inside it, I can make the transfer, right?

In the dimly lit room, there was Percival being cornered up against the wall by a young lady wearing a dress with her shoulders boldly bare, like something one would wear at an evening party.

“……Percival?”

Umm, what kind of situation is this?

“Na! You, how did you get here!? You’re supposed to be with brother……”

The young lady turned around and looked surprised at my sudden appearance, but I was surprised at her cleavage, which seemed like it was about to pop out any moment. I wonder how much she’s restraining them? I mean, isn’t it painful?

Come to think of it, isn’t this the same young lady who was standing next to the brazen bastard at the ceremony? If he is her brother, does that mean that this lady is his younger sister?

“Well, that’s fine. Since you’re here, I’ll tell you something. Percival-sama wants to break off his engagement with you and be with me. He has realised that I am his true soulmate. Hey, Percival.”

The resilient young lady approached Percival, and a fearless smile appeared on her face.

“……It can’t be.”

My back is stiff.

“Fufufu……Percival has abandoned you. But don’t worry. It It seems that Onii-sama is going to pick you up. Onii-sama will love you as much as possible. But please stay away from Percival-sama by any means. It’s an eyesore. Now then Percival-sama, tell him directly.

Urged by the young lady with a triumphant face, Percival came straight to me with slightly unsteady steps, and then suddenly he hugged me and pressed our lips together as if to bite me.

“‼︎”

“……Eh⁉︎”

The young lady let out a voice of surprise, and I was surprised too. After all, this isn’t a gentle kiss like a greeting. Even though it’s in front of a young lady, he even puts his tongue in! I patted Percival on the back, thinking this was bad, but Percival didn’t care at all. No matter what’s bad, it feels so good. His tongue wraps around mine until I can’t breathe, making the pit of your stomach tingle.

“Nn……fu, ah.”

I felt dizzy from the pleasure that made my entire body tingle, and somehow I no longer cared about being watched.

Well, it doesn’t matter. The only one watching is young lady anyway. Whatever……

I completely surrender and entrust myself to Percival. Eventually, my knees gave out and I was completely supported by Percival.

……Maybe I just have a weakness for things that feel good. I was easily swayed, but is this okay? While I was vaguely worrying about this, Percival finally released my lips.

“Sapphiras is the only one for me. It’s extremely unpleasant to be made your soul mate, even as a joke……”

Percival’s chilling voice clearly told her so.

“Wh-Why!? Percival-sama is supposed to love me!”

The young lady exclaimed in disbelief.

“Why……well, it’s because the bewitching didn’t work, right?”

As the afterglow of the kiss finally wore off, I answered the young lady’s questions.

Yes, this lady is a bewitcher. I had experienced it once, so I immediately recognised the creepy magic.

No matter how much the young lady likes Percival, she needs some reason to get him since he has a fiancée. Most likely, that man must have told her to seduce Percival with enchantment magic and make him take responsibility. I guess he’s trying to get revenge for being humiliated in town by putting that idea in his sister’s mind. What an outrageous pair of siblings we’ve caught the eyes of.

“It’s a lie! That can’t be true!”

“Didn’t you know that bewitching magic can only be fully effective if the other person has a weak spot? It doesn’t work on everyone.”

“That……How could there be someone who isn’t captivated by this me……”

She is certainly an attractive young lady, but isn’t she a bit overconfident?

Percival and I couldn’t help but look at each other.

“I can’t keep up with you. Let’s go, Percival.”

“……Aah.”

“Wait!”

I don’t know what the young lady was thinking, but she suddenly tore the bust of her dress open. Her white chest, which had been tightly packed, was revealed, even to the very tip. The young lady gave us a sinister look as we were taken aback by her sudden madness.

“I wonder what people would think if they saw you and me in this state in a closed room?”

Uwah……!　This is no longer a young lady, but a captivating whore.

I’m sure they’re trying to create a situation where we can’t escape, but I don’t have enough free time to deal with that. I ignored the dangerous young lady and quickly left the place by transferring.

At the moment of the transfer, I thought I heard the lady making a fuss. We have nothing to do with that.

“Percival, are you okay?”

“Ah……”

Percival, who is resting on the sofa, doesn’t look very good. As expected, he seems to be influenced by the bewitching magic to some extent. Even Percival is in this state, so isn’t bewitching a pretty troublesome spell? People who are not resistant will be trapped, and people who are not will have their health affected, like Percival.

“I’m sorry, Sapphiras……I’d like to hug you, if that’s all right.”

“Heh?”

I was a little taken aback remembering the deep kiss from earlier, but I couldn’t say no if Percival, who looked like he was in pain, begged me.

“……Ye-Yeah.”

Percival nodded and took my arm, pulling me closer and hugging me tightly. His breath was on my neck, tickling me a little, but I noticed that Percival’s hands were shaking, so I quietly settled in his arms.

“Are you feeling unwell?”

“Ah……but I feel much calmer doing this.”

“I see”

I don’t really understand why, but if interacting with someone he feels safe with, he might be able to recover from the damage caused by the bewitching.

After that, we hugged each other for the rest of the day until Aurora, worried after hearing Cait Sith’s story, came to visit us in our room.

 

***

 

The next morning, a rumour was spreading in the royal palace.

It was said that a certain young lady was making a fuss because of her immodest appearance. As expected, they didn’t even know which young lady it was.

“They’re talking about that young lady, right?”

“……I guess.”

Percival, who has recovered completely, is drinking tea with a relieved look on his face. It looked like he was in pain, so I was relieved that he was feeling better.

As I bite into the delicious sausage, I remember what happened yesterday.

She probably didn’t realise that we would transfer right after she exposed her chest and made a big fuss. Then, in order to prove her fait accompli with Percival, the guards and maids who had been on standby rushed in.

Even so. By that time, we were no longer there, and a young lady with her breasts exposed was making a scene alone in a dimly lit room with the curtains closed.

No matter how much she screams that she was attacked by us, no one will believe her. There’s no way a magician who needs chanting can transfer in that instant. Unexpectedly, the farce of the evening party came in handy.

But then again, she is a family member of Her Royal Highness the Queen. Everyone would be very tight-lipped about such a scandal, but that young lady, like her brother, has a bad reputation, and it seemed that no one was willing to act on her behalf. On the contrary, word of the young lady’s insanity spread quickly throughout the castle, and this is how we heard about it.

The young got what was coming to her, but I’m sure that Her Royal Highness the Queen must be feeling quite distressed at the shame caused by her family. I feel a little sorry for her, because she is a very good person, but I think this is a good time to cut her nephew and niece loose.

melon: Very sorry for the delay guys! 😭 I’m drowning in an urgent project that I have to finish (it needs to reach New York before 8th June for an event exhibition) and I probably won’t be able to update again until it’s finished. 😭😭😭

I will translate all the remaining chapters I owe as soon as I finish my project. (hopefully I can make it on time 😂)
