Chapter 40 There’s No Way I Could Be Happy

Three days had already passed since he started living with Princess Kurumi.

One could say it was the calm before the storm.

During that time, the mansion had been extremely peaceful.

From meals to any minor inconveniences, the servants somehow knew and took care of everything for him.

Even though he was just a ‘guest’.

‘It feels like I’m just on a trip to a Japanese ryokan…’

He was so comfortable that he was confused about whether he was working or on vacation.

Nevertheless, there was always something he did every morning without fail.

“Sophia. You’re here?”

“Yes. Shin-woo, you really ‘work’ hard every day.”

“Haha…”

Every morning, he exchanged greetings with Sophia, who arrived early for work.

She had been very upset about him living with the princess.

He secretly checked on her the first day out of concern.

Then he saw Sophia standing guard all day with her cheeks puffed out like a pufferfish.

“Y-you were that angry?!”

He judged the situation to be serious.

To soothe the sulking Sophia, he started meeting her like this.

“You haven’t had breakfast yet, right? Go in and eat.”

“Huh? No, I usually don’t eat breakfast.”

“?! Do you know how important breakfast is?! Just go in and eat with the princess!”

“Ah, okay…”

Even in the midst of this, Sophia took great care of his health.

“Then I’ll see you again before I leave this evening.”

“Yes, see you then.”

He then went back inside the mansion and politely greeted Princess Kurumi, who was slowly waking up.

Then, as usual, they sat face to face in the guest tatami room and had breakfast together.

“I feel like drinking today.”

It was a sudden ‘incident’.

“Drinking… you say?”

“Yes, drinking.”

Hearing the word ‘drinking’ from the princess’s mouth was unexpected.

Of course, she was an adult and perfectly capable of drinking. But it was still unfamiliar.

Because people from the prestigious Hunter family, who had a noble image, never mentioned desires like alcohol, women, or gambling in front of others.

‘To hear such words from a Hunter family member… and from a princess of one of the world’s top 10 families…’

In the original story, just having a drink with a Hunter family member required hundreds of hours of persistent gameplay and luck.

‘Does this mean she trusts me that much?’

In the original, Princess Kurumi only made a brief appearance as part of the setting.

Seeing her reveal her desires to him made him feel oddly proud as a veteran player of the original story.

Then the princess continued.

“Tonight, there will be a full moon.”

“Really? It must be beautiful.”

“Yes. So I want to wet my lips with alcohol while admiring the moon.”

Drinking while admiring the moon.

It sounded like a scene from a martial arts movie and was quite cool.

Then I’ll have to eat dinner alone tonight so as not to interfere with the princess’s drinking.

As he nodded, thinking that,

“So, Shin-woo.”

“Yes, princess.”

“It would be too lonely to drink alone. Could you keep me company?”

“…What?”

He suddenly got the opportunity to join the princess for a drink.

***

Alcohol has a mysterious power.

People called that power alcohol, and even though they knew it only brought bad effects when absorbed into the body, the reason people drank was very simple.

Because alcohol had the power to give ‘courage’ in exchange for ‘health’.

“…Gulp.”

As the weather forecast predicted, a clear full moon was rising in the night sky of Korea.

With the sliding door connecting to the garden wide open to see such a sky, Princess Kurumi sat across from Shin-woo at a table adorned with luxurious appetizers.

She poured his drink with both hands first.

“This is sake, very popular in Japan. I had the servant get it since I heard you can get it in Korea too.”

“Oh… sake.”

“Do you like alcohol?”

“Yes?! Ah, well… I don’t dislike it.”

“I see…”

The way of drinking sake seemed similar to Korean soju but was slightly different.

For example, the two sitting across from each other did not clink their glasses but made a slight gesture before taking a sip.

Gulp.

“?! This sake has a bit of a high alcohol content…”

“Hehe. Yes. Strong alcohol also has a strong taste.”

“I see…”

The average alcohol content of sake was 15 degrees.

The sake Princess Kurumi brought this time had an average alcohol content of 25 degrees, making it a high-quality sake.

Therefore,

“Have a drink.”

“Ah, yes…”

Gulp.

“One more…”

“Again?! Ah, okay…”

Gulp. Gulp.

“One more.”

“Yes, yes…”

Gulp. Gulp. Gulp. Gulp.

Since he couldn’t refuse the drink the princess offered, Shin-woo, as planned by Princess Kurumi, drank three or four glasses of sake for every one glass she drank, quickly turning red in the face.

“Ugh, ugh…”

“Shin-woo?”

“Uh… yes… princess…”

“……”

Seeing him almost drunk, Princess Kurumi, who was also slightly tipsy, got up slowly.

“I’ll sit next to you for a moment.”

“Uhm… okay…”

She subtly sat beside him, close enough for their shoulders to touch.

Thump, thump.

A brief moment of silence.

As Princess Kurumi slightly turned to look at Shin-woo, he seemed on the verge of falling asleep.

Her final plan was to let him sleep, but since he was still awake,

She didn’t want to waste this honest moment.

With a slightly fearful heart, she decided to ask questions she wouldn’t normally dare to ask.

“Shin-woo… what do you think of me?”

“What do you… mean by that…?”

“Just what it means. What do you think of me, Kitsune Kurumi?”

An annoying woman.

A woman he had to follow reluctantly.

A woman who couldn’t even talk to people properly.

Or a pitiful woman.

Usually, she thought he might see her that way.

Thinking about what kind of answer she’d hear in a few seconds, she regretted asking, but

“…A good person.”

“…Pardon?”

“Kind… and pretty… actually very lonely… so someone I want to take care of…”

“…!”

Hearing an answer better than she expected made her feel dizzy, as if she were drunk even without drinking.

So she gathered courage and asked another question.

“Then… if you could do anything you wanted to a woman like me, what would you do?”

“To Princess… Kurumi… do anything I want…?”

“Yes! That is, if you could make a woman like me obey you…”

“Well… if such a pretty woman… became mine… as a man… of course… I would have to ‘have’ her…”

“‘Have’ me?!”

Hiccup!

Hearing such a straightforward answer instead of a date or something, Princess Kurumi was so shocked she hiccupped.

Her face turned redder than Shin-woo’s.

Wobble.

While she was reeling from shock, Shin-woo was now genuinely about to pass out.

Seeing him about to fall asleep, Princess Kurumi swallowed dryly.

Swoosh.

She undid the upper part of her tightly worn kimono and, with a trembling heart, asked him one last question.

“Shin-woo, then…”

Gulp.

“Do you want to have… ‘sex’ with me?”

Shin-woo, who had already fallen asleep, couldn’t respond to her question.

Instead, as if answering with his instincts, his head sank directly into Princess Kurumi’s ample cleavage.

“Huh?! S-Shin-woo…”

She called out to him, but there was no response from the completely asleep Shin-woo.

Kurumi then confirmed that he was entirely asleep and instructed the servants to clean up the drinking scene.

Once the room was cleared, she immediately turned off the lights, placed Shin-woo on her futon, and climbed on top of him.

It resembled the position of a woman serving from a sex education class.

“Shin-woo, today is my ovulation day.”

“ZZZ…”

“Today, I’ll just receive your seed, and next time, I’ll serve you with all my heart while I’m awake.”

“ZZZ…”

Shin-woo, still asleep, didn’t respond.

Kurumi cautiously pressed her ear against Shin-woo’s well-trained chest.

Thump, thump.

His heart was pounding fiercely like that of a beast.

Simultaneously, a rich scent emanated from his body.

She licked the sweat dripping from his neck with her long tongue.

Like a dog finding a bone, she wasn’t a princess at that moment but a female shaking her hips crudely.

‘Delicious… I like it… I love you, Shin-woo…’

Then she felt something near her lower region poking into her groin.

It was time for the ‘main event.’

“Shin-woo… I love you…”

To the point of dying.

No, even after death.

The time she had left to live was barely a year.

But it took roughly 10 months for a baby to grow in a mother’s womb.

Even with just a year left, it was enough time to conceive and give birth.

Their child, hers and Shin-woo’s.

How wonderful, lovely, proud, and beautiful it would be.

It would be the most precious gift in the world.

If that child grew up and reached the age where they could speak, what would their first words be?

Losing their mother a few months after birth, being despised by the family as an illegitimate child, and conceived without the father’s consent, what would their first words at their mother’s grave be?

She knew all too well, having been in a similar position herself.

“Mother…”

“Why did you give birth to someone like me?”

With such realizations, Kurumi’s tongue stopped midway as it approached Shin-woo’s lips.

What she was about to do wasn’t ‘sex’ filled with love.

It was just ‘rape’ for one-sided pleasure.

The thought of how Shin-woo and their child would suffer after her death made her feel guilty.

Kurumi withdrew from Shin-woo’s body.

“Sob… sob…”

She could only shed endless tears.

In such a miserable situation.

In the reality where she couldn’t even freely hold the child of her beloved.

Born from an unwanted birth, destined to have her lifespan stolen by a monster for life, never to reclaim it.

Kurumi, who tried to be happy, returned to the cold reality, just like the liquid flowing ceaselessly between her legs.

Then the next day,

“Shin-woo, thank you for your hard work. I’m much better now.”

“Princess Kurumi…?”

“So, please leave my mansion now.”

Fearing any more happiness, she pushed away her last chance at happiness herself.
