The departure was postponed until the following day.

While the knights could have left immediately, Aurora’s presence required additional preparations.

Not only did we need to arrange for her carriage and escort, but the travel pace and itinerary also needed to be adjusted.

Of course, that wasn’t my responsibility. It was Lakscia’s.

She had insisted on handling everything herself, claiming it was better than having an incompetent superior mess things up.

While the “incompetent superior” she referred to was likely the former Golden Twilight Knight Commander, I felt a pang of guilt, knowing I wasn’t exactly skilled in leadership or management.

At least I didn’t actively sabotage things.

Leaving the Vice-Commanders to discuss the expedition amongst themselves, I returned to Aurora’s mansion. She had requested a private meeting.

As I entered, Lana, as if anticipating my arrival, led me to another room on the top floor, similar in layout to Aurora’s usual room.

Though slightly smaller.

Aurora sat at her desk by the window, dressed in her usual black suburban mom dress.

She glanced at me, setting aside the documents she had been reviewing.

“You said you wanted to talk. What is it?”

“Sit down first. This isn’t a conversation we can have standing up.”

“There’s nowhere to sit.”

I looked around. Aside from Aurora’s ornate chair, there wasn’t anywhere to sit. The bed was too far from the desk.

“I know. Sit here.”

Aurora stood up, gesturing towards her chair.

“……Are you serious?”

“Do I look like I’m joking?”

Aurora sat on the edge of the desk, gesturing towards the chair again.

I reluctantly approached.

The chair was still warm.

“What’s so important that I have to sit here?”

“This and that. I didn’t call you here for any specific reason. Just to… kill time before we leave. You don’t have anything to do at the castle, do you? Tell me something interesting.”

I sensed something amiss.

While she seemed to be speaking casually, she kept averting her gaze, avoiding eye contact.

It felt like she had another motive.

“I’m not sure I have anything interesting to tell you.”

“Of course you do. For example… the story about you and Lize.”

I choked, coughing violently.

While I knew Aurora, like her aunt, was rather blunt, I hadn’t expected her to say that so casually.

“Why would you bring that up here?”

“I found it very entertaining. More exciting than most adventure stories. Actually, perhaps it *is* an adventure story? Exploring uncharted territory—”

“…….”

Sensing my disapproval, Aurora grinned, falling silent. But she still avoided my gaze.

That only made me more suspicious. If she was acting like this, avoiding eye contact while maintaining her usual demeanor, it meant something was definitely going on.

“Alright, alright, I understand. You should get some rest so we can leave early tomorrow. I’ll be going now.”

“It’s only 4 PM. Are you telling me to go to bed now and wake up in the middle of the night?”

I glanced at the grandfather clock in the corner of the room.

She was right. It wasn’t even 4 PM yet. It was too early to use “get some rest” as an excuse to end the conversation.

“Then are you going to keep making those jokes?”

“Of course not.”

It seemed she wouldn’t tease me any further.

She would just… kill some time—

“We’re going to be doing it physically now.”

“……Pardon?”

A bewildered sound escaped my lips.

I thought I had misheard, but Aurora’s expression told me I hadn’t.

Physically? What?

‘Don’t tell me…’

My initial confusion quickly faded, replaced by a chilling realization.

I had suspected something like this ever since she started insisting on this “outing.” It was essentially a date, just with a different name.

Her gaze had often lingered on me, and while I had noticed the underlying feelings, I had dismissed them out of consideration for Lize.

It seemed the inevitable had finally arrived.

Aurora, surprised by my calm reaction, raised an eyebrow.

“You don’t seem surprised. You’ve been looking… thoughtful. What are you thinking about?”

“……Can I just say it?”

“Go ahead. I can guess what you’re going to say.”

“I had a feeling you… had feelings for me. I hadn’t really thought about it before, but… recently, I started to suspect.”

“That’s… close enough. But you know, Delta, hearing you say it out loud is… surprisingly disconcerting.”

“I won’t deny it. It means I was aware of your feelings and chose to ignore them.”

“Wow, that makes you sound like a jerk.”

Despite her harsh words, Aurora was smiling. It seemed like a playful jab, not a genuine accusation.

Or perhaps she was simply happy to have her feelings acknowledged.

“Why the sudden change in approach, My Lady? You were using a fake name just a few days ago.”

Aurora flinched, then quickly composed herself.

“I saw a possibility.”

“A possibility?”

Instead of answering, Aurora placed her hands on my shoulders and climbed onto my lap, straddling me.

It was similar to when Lize had pounced on me, except I was sitting on a chair instead of lying on a bed.

She spread her legs, her thighs pressing against mine. The chair was large enough to accommodate our… intimate position.

Our lower bodies were now pressed together. Aurora shifted, grinding against me. Her knees were on either side of my hips. It was a deliberate movement.

‘…I could push her away if I wanted to.’

When Lize had ambushed me, I had been too weak to resist. Now, however, I could easily push Aurora away and stand up.

But I didn’t.

Or perhaps, I didn’t want to.

I was starting to react to her closeness. Part of me didn’t want to hurt her feelings, and part of me… didn’t want to stop.

I seemed to be getting better at rationalizing my questionable decisions.

“Yes, a possibility. You’ve been an unusual man from the moment we met. The first thing you asked me was if I wanted to become the lord, and then you asked if I wanted to kill that disgusting pig. Who else would say such things?”

“…….”

“Well, back then, I was too proud and insecure, clinging to my last shred of dignity despite having nothing to my name. I said some foolish things, like how could I possibly trust you… I’m just… making sure, but you’re not… upset about that, are you?”

Aurora’s face flushed slightly as she glanced at me nervously. She seemed to be concerned about her outburst during our first meeting.

I had simply dismissed it as part of the game’s script. I understood her reaction. She had been offered a lifeline, but she needed to verify whether it was a sturdy rope or a rotten thread.

Her approach had been… brazen, but if I hadn’t seen it countless times in the game, I would have been more than just slightly annoyed.

I shook my head, and Aurora visibly relaxed.

“……I’m glad you’re not angry. You succeeded in the end. And you got your revenge on that pig. To be honest, I’ve had feelings for you since then. But with Lize already by your side, I felt it was… inappropriate to interfere.”

Our faces drew closer.

Aurora turned slightly, nuzzling her face against my left shoulder, her head resting against my cheek.

Our bodies touched. I could feel the soft press of her breasts against my chest. Her hands moved from my shoulders to my back, pulling me closer.

“But then, I heard you defeated a dragon.”

“……Well, sort of.”

I replied reluctantly.

The misunderstanding caused by that dragon was getting out of hand.

“If you can defeat a dragon, you’re more than qualified to have another woman, aren’t you?”

“I… don’t think that’s how it works.”

“No, it is. I just decided.”

“Can you just decide something like that on your own?”

I hesitated, unsure where to put my hands, then wrapped my arms around her.

Aurora flinched at my touch, her legs tightening around mine.

As expected, she wasn’t wearing any underwear. I could feel the smooth skin of her back beneath my hand as I gently caressed her.

“Delta, we have a problem.”

“Is there a problem bigger than this?”

“I’m a little wet because you’re hugging me. What should we do?”

“……I’ll pretend I didn’t hear that. Just continue what you were saying.”

I tightened my embrace.

Aurora squirmed for a moment, then spoke, her voice slightly breathless.

“So, I thought this was my chance.”

“You mean the whole ‘Orora’ charade?”

“That… was…”

Aurora mumbled against my shoulder,

“Because I was embarrassed.”

“Embarrassed? About what?”

“Well, you know. I originally planned to do this the first day you came back from the Imperial Palace. When I asked you to come to the mansion, even if it was late.”

I maintained a neutral expression, but I couldn’t stop my arms from tightening around her. The soft press of her breasts against my chest intensified.

So that was why she had insisted I visit her.

“But you were too embarrassed to make a move?”

“……Yes. And the whole disguise thing… I’m terrible at this kind of thing, so Lana, frustrated with my awkwardness, suggested that pretending to be someone else might help me be more honest.”

“And that plan—”

“Was ruined by a certain witch.”

Nix’s arrival had been completely unexpected. I hadn’t anticipated her… unique personality.

If Nix hadn’t shown up, we might have ended up in bed that day.

“To be honest, I’m still mortified. But I can’t miss this opportunity.”

“You’re usually so confident, My Lady. It’s surprising to see you so… flustered around me.”

“You know you sound just like Lana, right?”

“Did I?”

If I was echoing Lana, then she must have been equally surprised by Aurora’s behavior.

“If you have any complaints about this, tell me now. I’m not going to listen.”

“You’re not going to listen?”

“What do I care? Push me away if you don’t like it. You’re strong enough.
I started this, so I won’t blame you.”

“Really?”

I released my embrace, placing my hands under her arms and gently pushing her away. With my increased Strength, it was easy.

Aurora, lifted slightly off my lap, her arms held captive, stared at me, wide-eyed, as if she hadn’t expected me to actually do it.

“You really don’t mind?”

I leaned back against the chair, watching her, my hands still holding her arms, ready to lift her further if I so desired.

“…….”

Seeing tears welling up in her eyes, I pulled her back towards me, holding her close.

Aurora hesitantly touched my back, then wrapped her arms around my neck.

“See? You shouldn’t make promises you can’t keep.”

“Damn it… Delta… you scared me… I thought you were really going to leave…”

Her voice trembled.

I had genuinely frightened her.

“My Lady.”

“……Yes?”

“You know I’m already with Lize, right?”

“I know. I know everything. If anyone gives you trouble, I’ll take responsibility.”

I gently pulled away, cupping her face in my hands and wiping away the tears with my thumb.

“I don’t intend to make you take responsibility.”

“……Then?”

“I’ll… try my best. It’s not impossible for a man to marry multiple women.”

“Delta…”

Aurora stared at me, wide-eyed, as if she hadn’t expected me to say that.

I would have achieved the necessary fame and accomplishments by the time I defeated all the bosses. I didn’t want to hesitate because of societal norms.

My being transported into BD4 wasn’t exactly normal either.

“Besides, I’ve already done it once. I can do it again.”

As I pulled her close again, Aurora, after a moment of stunned silence, gasped.

“What? Wait. You’ve already done it? Delta, are you telling me there’s another woman besides Lize? Really? I’m not the second, but the third?”

“Perhaps.”

I grinned.

Aurora wiped her eyes, then straightened, a determined glint in her eyes.

“Damn it… you should have told me sooner. Just you wait.”

“Wait? What are you going to do?”

Aurora pressed closer, her body flush against mine.

“I’m going to… milk you dry. More than she ever could.”
