Chapter 45
“Haven’t you noticed how pretty Miss Luina has gotten lately?”
“Right, right. Miss Luina was cool when she was cold in the past, but I think she’s even more beautiful now that she’s warmed up!”
“They say women become prettier when they fall in love~ Could Miss Luina have fallen in love too?”
“Kyaaa! Really?”
Lucius was delighted by the rumors he heard around him.
Hearing the woman he liked being praised was a pleasure.
On top of that, the words ‘women become prettier when they fall in love’ had Lucius grinning from ear to ear.
Luina’s recent behavior toward him made it seem as though she were already his girlfriend.
‘Could it really be that she chose me, sorted out her feelings, and changed because of it…?’
Rumors were going around that the prince, his greatest rival, had lost interest in Luina and was making advances on a freshman,
and the knight who had likewise been his rival had been nowhere to be seen lately and had gone quiet.
But Lucius saw Luina every day, and he had even arranged a date with her for this weekend.
Thinking that he had gotten a step ahead, Lucius already felt as though he had won.
“Siwoo! Good morning!”
And just look at that expression!
That beautiful smile she never showed the prince or the knight!
Believing that smile was meant only for him, Lucius let his feelings for Luina grow even stronger.
“Hm? What is it? Why are you staring at me so intently? Am I really that pretty?”
She was only showing him that smile for now, but if he and Luina started dating and eventually married, she would surely show him those things, too.
Luina’s… intimate, tantalizing parts…
“W-what is it?! What’s with that expression?”
“Huh? Ah, well…”
When Luina blushed and took a step back, Lucius scratched his head and stopped as well.
He had been thinking lewd thoughts, but fortunately, Luina seemed to have mistaken his reaction for one to her appearance.
“Oh my! You two seem to be getting along well again today!”
“You’re always together these days! You make such a perfect pair—it’s lovely to see!”
Just as things were about to get awkward, the female students who had been gossiping about Luina earlier joined in.
They were middle-ranking noblewomen who presented themselves as Luina’s admirers and classmates, and were currently waiting on her.
“We’re just being our usual selves, though?”
“Oh my! Do you two usually act all lovey-dovey like this? How romantic…! I’m in awe!”
“You’re making a big deal out of nothing…”
The two girls made a fuss as usual, and although Luina pretended not to care, she couldn’t hide the smile tugging at the corners of her mouth.
Lucius enjoyed this situation immensely. It was a peaceful time he never could have imagined before the semester began.
“By the way, did you hear that rumor? Apparently the prince took that freshman to Kingdom Department Store!”
“Sir Jin and that ‘Miss Asil’ went with them too! I heard he bought her some expensive accessories!”
‘These clueless bitches!’
Lucius’s expression hardened when he heard them.
When he hurriedly looked at Luina, her smile had vanished too.
‘Damn it… Does she still have feelings for those two after all…?’
If she were focused only on him, there would be no reason for her expression to harden like that…
Luina still seemed to care about the prince.
Lucius felt an inferiority complex toward the prince and self-loathing.
‘The prince, of all people… I’ll make sure she can never think of him again. I’ll make her look only at me.’
Lucius resolved to win Luina’s heart completely, then headed to class with her, leaving the clueless pair behind.

“Ah! But we haven’t told you about that rumor!”
“You mean ‘that rumor,’ right? The one about how the two of them might be in that sort of relationship…”
“We thought it would only happen in our imaginations…”
“Reality really is even better than imagination, isn’t it?”

“Hmm… We haven’t seen him much lately… I wanted to ask what happened that day…”
The prince was always in the park behind Lecture Hall 2, but lately I haven’t been able to see him.
It’s not that I want to see him or anything… I’m just curious!
Whether he bought the gift for Miss Luina, and what her reaction was… Things like that.
He disappeared without a word, leaving us behind, so we have no way of knowing.
Could they really be disgusting people, even though he’s the prince, just like Miss Cecilia said?
“Phew… Huh? A gnome? That’s definitely the gnome who contracted with the prince, right?”
Just as I was about to head back, thinking it was another fruitless search, the gnome appeared!
I recognized it as the gnome that formed a contract with the prince with my help.
I remember they made a contract to remain together in the real world instead of returning to the spirit realm, so why is it here alone?
“Huh? What did you say? …Whaaaat?!”
“The two of them were in that sort of relationship?!!”
***
“Miss Cecilia! Listen!! You know, the prince and that knight!”
“Heheh, you mean they’re in love with each other?”
“Huh? W-wha—how did you know? The gnome said no one knew yet…”
“There’s no way I wouldn’t know what you know, Miss Melts. Heheh.”
“I see! That’s right!”
Miss Cecilia really is amazing!
She’s so cute, does well in her studies, and truly doesn’t seem to be ignorant of anything!
I can’t say how happy I am to have become friends with Miss Cecilia.
“But today we’re talking about another man again, aren’t we?”
“Huh? Um… Is it? Well… Is that not allowed?”
“Hmm… Miss Melts’s mental defenses are surprisingly strong. I’ll have to implant the suggestion once more. This time, so you won’t be able to forget it.”
“S-suggestion? I… Miss Cecilia, what on earth are you talking about?”
Sometimes Miss Cecilia says things I can’t understand. They’re difficult things that a stupid person like me can’t comprehend at all.
But Miss Cecilia is always right… so I suppose I just need to follow what she says!
“Miss Melts, you like my father, don’t you?”
“…Yeees?! N-no? Teacher is… just my teacher, though?”
“But you think about Father every day, don’t you? Before you go to sleep, when you wake up, while you eat, while you attend class… Right?”
“Uh… I-is that so? Since you put it that way, I suppose it might be…”
Now that I think about it, that really does seem to be true.
It’s true that I look forward to Teacher’s therapy every day, and I’ve always talked to Miss Cecilia about Teacher.
I see… So this is what ‘love’ is?
To always long for someone is love… Oh my goodness… Am I in love right now?!
“You don’t have to be embarrassed. Heheh.”
“Huh? But what should I do? M-my, my first love is my friend’s father…”
“It’s fine because I, his daughter, give you permission. It will be unrequited love anyway, so there’s nothing wrong with you loving Father. Heheh.”
“Yes… I see…”
I suppose that’s right… Since Miss Cecilia, his daughter, says so, it must be true, right?
But my face really is burning.
Is falling in love normally this embarrassing? Teacher keeps coming to mind, and I don’t know what to do!
I keep remembering Teacher touching my body… Haa… those thick hands on my breasts and pussy… Ngh…
“Miss Melts, you mustn’t expect to be loved in return. You only need to love Father and use that body of yours to make him happy. Understand?”
“Yes! I’ll do that!”
“So… Try seducing Father yourself during your next therapy session. With that lewd body of yours.”
“What does that mean…?”
“Heheh, give Father the virginity you’ve been saving all this time. He’ll surely be pleased.”
“Yes! ……Huh? Yeeeess?! But that?!”
“It’s something you give to the person you love, so it’s all right, isn’t it?”
“Uh…”
“You’re Miss Melts, aren’t you? The one who gets this pussy wet while thinking about Father every day? Look! It’s wet again!”
“Heheh, you just need to welcome Father’s cock into this hole. Simple, right?”
Nnngh… Again, again! Miss Cecilia touched my pussy…
She caught me with it wet again… How embarrassing…
“I-I understand! Ngh…”
“That’s right. That’s all you need to do.”
“But… Miss Cecilia! There’s something I need to tell you!”

I got rid of one fly… but there’s still one left.
And it’s an even dirtier, more obnoxious, more troublesome fly.
Why does she keep clinging to Father every weekend? It’s disgusting.
Even though Father puts up such an impenetrable barrier, she just won’t give up…!
This really can’t go on.
Look at that outfit. Is that really a knight’s uniform?
Anyone can see it’s the outfit of a bitch dressed to seduce Father!
The person who will receive Father’s love has already been decided… This is ridiculous.
If she had merely offered her body like Godmother did, I wouldn’t have minded.
But she has the nerve to want far too much.
“Oh? You’re Miss Cecilia, right? Did you come to see Deokbae? How cute~”
Ha! What’s with this fake friendliness?
What’s with flaunting how close you are to Father?
“Hmm? What’s wrong?”
A bitch should act like a bitch.
A bitch who doesn’t know her place needs to be taught a lesson.
“Why is she acting so… Aaaah! What are you doing?! Ugh, urk! N-no!”
Heheh.
