An old castle protected on all sides by a sturdy fort sits atop a hill that is not too lofty in elevation. People are still taken aback by this castle's large and majestic structure, even though it appears to have stood for hundreds of years.This castle is not a ruin that has been abandoned to the ravages of time. Instead, it is a castle maintained to a high standard and not weaker than or even more potent than a castle in another kingdom.This castle was bustling with activity, from carriages driving through the gates every few hours to several soldiers marching around the expansive castle grounds. There was also a kitchen staff preparing meals for the castle's residents.Those who heard it trembled in response, as the sound of their piercing screams was accompanied by the sound of swords or other metal weapons clashing.They had a higher volume of work than usual today. In the banquet hall, the maids were busy preparing delicious food and beverages while the soldiers went through w

- Hadrian Pov -"Mmmh... Mmmh..."When I was deep in restful sleep, I became aware of a soft voice moaning near me. The woman's voice sounded so alluring that it caused me to open my eyes and look for the source of the sound.I looked over and saw an attractive naked woman lying on the bed next to me. She presented a seductive posture while maintaining what appeared to be a relaxed demeanour. Her jet black hair fell slightly damp from the perspiration and hung on her shoulders.This woman appeared to be around the same age as Emilia, and from the looks of her stunning face, ample breasts, and sensual body, she possessed everything that the majority of women cherish.She was moaning because my right hand was pressing down on her large breast, and I could see her pink areola, which was neither too large nor small.I can't even feel it when I try to pinch her nipples, even though I want to. It was revealed that this highly alluring woman had an inverted nipple."ahhh... don't go there...

To a point in time, a few days earlier, after Alice had abandoned Hadrian in the gardens of the castle.- Alice Pov -I found myself lying on an unfamiliar bed, not like the ones in a palace. I could immediately tell the difference, and it wasn't due to the texture or the material of the mattress... I don't know how to explain it."huff." I have no other response."Even though I more or less know his intentions for taking me here today, I don't mind because he believes in me... hehe."After separating from my brother, or more accurately, fleeing due to my embarrassment, I unintentionally found myself smiling while thinking about him. Of course, I had not forgotten what had happened before.After gazing out the window, I got up and left the room.I went to the dining room alone because it was getting late, and of course, it was still empty. After waiting a long time, I finally saw the maids preparing food and beverage for the table.Not long after that, I started to see some people com

- Alice Pov - When I opened my bright red eyes, I saw several soldiers having a heated discussion around a rectangular table. They were discussing a strategy called "shut all your mouths together." Of course, I'm joking. It's just that these soldiers are too serious every time a strategy meeting is held. However, that doesn't mean I take this training lightly. However, it is possible that he influenced me because you already know that I was closer to my brother when I was a child. For example, I accompanied him when he went to the palace to discuss issues with my mother. He never loses his composure in the presence of older people or high-ranking officials in the palace, and despite his young age, he is capable of coming up with some novel concepts on occasion. It's been nearly a week since my brother brought me here, and for the past few days, I've been tasked with leading a 100-person army to crush the enemies who had been prepared in this vast forest. By the way, where did Sa

Back at the castle, where Hadrian and Sascha carried out the lewd act, to be exact, Sascha's breasts were roughly fondled, and she came dangerously close to passing away because Hadrian strangled her neck. - Hadrian Pov - At the moment, I am enjoying my breakfast at the dining table, and right next to me is Sascha, who has a happy smile plastered across her face. In the meantime, there is an old geezer in front of me. He is different from Sascha and me because we dressed in casual clothes this morning. This old geezer was outfitted in what appeared to be a bulky suit of iron armor. However, it didn't seem to be causing him any discomfort at all. Because he needs to put food in his mouth, he is not wearing a helmet at the moment, and as a result, I can see the sunlight reflecting off his bald head. Oh, I haven't mentioned his name yet. He is Baldwin, a formidable general and a knight who is highly respected by the people of the Zeitgeist Empire. At this table, only three people
