Chapter 110 – Night at the Mansion (1)
May 18th, 2023
Afterwards, we returned to the mansion. Even on the way back, the village was still filled with the excitement of the festival, and there was no sign of it slowing down.
Although there was tempting food along the way that I wanted to buy, we had to return to the mansion promptly due to the time constraints. It was a bonus to walk back to the mansion arm in arm with Cecily.
The feeling of her arm against my chest was transmitted directly, and I had to exercise patience as my sexual desire built up, wondering if I could handle the situation.
Once we arrived at the mansion, I was somewhat uneasy about telling Marie the truth. Although this was a world where polyamory was allowed, everyone had their own thoughts and feelings. Especially since Marie had confessed to me first, she might feel betrayed once I confessed it to her. I hoped everything would work out smoothly.
“Are you nervous about telling Marie the truth?”
“Of course. Noona knows how good my relationship with Marie is.”
“Hmm. Well, she did seem to like you enough to make other people jealous. But don’t worry. The situation you’re worried about won’t happen.”
Cecily seemed confident that she could persuade Marie. I was skeptical, but I planned to trust her for now. Even though Marie might be hurt, I could comfort and console her until the wound healed. And since I had already talked to Cecily separately, convincing Marie should be easier.
So we returned to the mansion, where Cecily went to find Marie before anyone else in our family. I also wanted to go with her to see Marie, but Cecily stopped me.
“You should take a bath first. I’ll talk to Marie for you.”
“Talk to her for me?”
“Yes. Anyway, you’ll be talking to her alone in the bedroom at 9 pm, right?”
Cecily emphasized the bedroom in particular. With half-closed eyes and a seductive voice, she said something that was hard to understand and made my imagination run wild.
The reason I call Marie to my bedroom is simply to be alone together, not to do anything like that. Marie probably doesn’t think that way either. Of course, I don’t know what will happen because of this sexual desire that Cecily has built up in me, but the situation won’t go as Cecily thinks.
“Okay. Then you will say goodbye to my parents and go back, right?”
“Yes. After greeting them, I have to return to Helium. Oh, and tell your parents too. I’ll invite them to visit Helium in a week. Then I’ll go.”
“Goodbye.”
“Oh, before that
”
Cecily leaned forward and lightly kissed my cheek before leaving. I was surprised by her attack(?) and touched my cheek with my hand. From the moist and warm feeling, it was definitely a kiss. Cecily was smiling mischievously, but her face was slightly blushed.
“This is a thank you. I’ll kiss you after getting Marie’s permission.”
“
 
”
“I’ve never had a happier day in over a hundred years. I’ll never forget it for the rest of my life. Well then-“
Cecily placed her hand on the center of her chest and bowed elegantly before saying goodbye. Then she gave me a smile and slowly walked away.
I couldn’t easily regain my composure even as she turned her back and left. I just stood there dazed until her back disappeared from sight. But eventually, I couldn’t help but smile. Her playful nature was enough to remind me that it was typical of her.
‘A happier day than today
’
It brought various thoughts to mind. Perhaps it meant that Cecily regarded me as someone truly special.
I rubbed the cheek where she had kissed me before changing my footsteps. For now, I needed to follow Cecily’s advice and take a shower before anything else.
‘Oh, come to think of it, I didn’t get back the handkerchief.’
I would retrieve it once I arrived at Helium. Before I went to wash, I asked a passing maid to prepare some coffee and snacks. The maid replied politely and I headed to the bathroom to wash.
After that, I read a book in my bedroom and waited for Marie to arrive. Suddenly, a knock came from the door.
Knock- Knock- Knock-
“Isaac, are you in there?”
“Uh-huh?”
Along with the knock, I heard my mother’s voice from behind the door. It wasn’t time for Marie to arrive yet, and I thought it was just a maid, but upon hearing my mother’s voice, I couldn’t help but look up. Although I was puzzled by why my mother came to visit, I set the book down and let her enter.
“Come in.”
“Well then, excuse me.”
kiik-
My mother opened the door and walked into the bedroom. She was wearing a nightdress that swayed as she moved, but what caught my eye was not her dress but the item she was holding in her hand.
She had brought the snack set that she had instructed the maid to bring. I was so surprised that I couldn’t even express my doubts and immediately stood up from my seat.
Regardless, my mother maintained a content expression and asked me.
“Should I put the snacks here?”
“Well, yes, but why did you
?”
When I asked her that, my mother gave an inexplicable answer while placing the snack set on the table.
“Our Isaac has grown up now. I thought you were still a child.”
“What?”
“Just in case, make sure to take this medicine. You never know what might happen.”
While I was bewildered, my mother placed a pill on the table. It was round and looked like a small white ball.
I stared at the pill for a moment, then looked at my mother’s face, as if to ask what it was. And my mother shook her finger with a cheerful expression.
“Does he have no sense because he is his son? I guess this is also genetic. Poor Marie will suffer too.”
“Mother?”
“The effect will appear after 30 minutes, so take it now. Quickly.”
When my mother urged me to take the medicine, I picked it up with a restless mind. It was round and small, and I didn’t seem to need to drink water with it.
I looked around the round pill and then looked back at my mother. She seemed to be waiting for me to take the medicine.
“
 Is this something strange?”
“I wouldn’t give anything strange to our son.”
“That’s true.”
Gulp-
I was a little suspicious, but since it was given by my mother, I took the medicine, feeling relieved. My mother smiled even more after I took the medicine and opened her mouth.
“Our Isaac is very talented. Where did you meet such a child(Marie)?”
“I just happened to meet him. Do you like Marie too, Mother?”
“Of course. She’s not only a noblewoman, but also very excellent. She’s a perfect match for our family’s prestige.”
It seemed that my mother was fond of Marie, judging by her words. It was no wonder, since Marie had no flaws and was far from having a sense of authority, just like our family.
There was no problem with our status as we both were nobles. It was as if the roles were reversed from the moment I revealed that I was the writer Xenon.
Of course, they will accept me as a member of the Requilis family, even without me explicitly stating my identity. From the beginning, staying at our mansion with their family instead of an inn for nobles is as good as having already stamped the seal.
‘Marriage
’
I imagined the marriage that my mother mentioned, in my head. Getting married to Marie with everyone’s blessings and spending a sweet honeymoon together, and then a hot night

‘
crazy.’
I don’t know why my thoughts keep going in that direction since earlier. It’s probably because my sexual desire was ignited due to Cecily’s provocative behavior.
I tried to cough out to hide my inner thoughts. It was even difficult to endure because it stimulated my desire, which I had managed to suppress until now. I think I have to relieve myself separately after I finish talking with Marie.
Perhaps my mother took it in a different sense and made fun of me.
“Oh, are you embarrassed? You don’t have to be so embarrassed. Engagement at your age is natural.”
“We’ve only been dating for just a month.”
“Starting a relationship is important in itself. Why would there be arranged marriages? In the first place, dating among nobles is not a common thing. Usually, engagements are made through agreements between families.”
It’s not going well. My mother seems to have already marked Marie as the bride. No matter what I say, she doesn’t seem to listen.
I waited for my mother to come out of her imaginary world. I don’t think she’ll listen to anything I say now.
Knock- knock- knock-
“Isaac, it’s me. Can I come in?”
It seemed that it was already 9 o’clock. I heard Marie knocking on the door and asking for permission to come in.
My mother regained her composure, turned her head towards the door, and then turned back to me to offer words of encouragement.
“Anyway, stay strong. Everything is hard in the beginning. Don’t feel pressured. Got it?”
“
Yes.”
In response to my answer, my mother gently stroked my head and walked towards the door. She opened it and faced Marie, who was waiting behind it.
“Oh, hello. You were inside.”
“Yes, I was. Are you ready
to go?”
“Of course. I also got permission from my mother.”
I couldn’t tell what they were talking about from where I was standing. Marie’s figure was also obscured by my mother.
“What about Isaac? Does he still not know?”
“Probably not. He inherited his father’s obliviousness
”
“It’s okay. Well then, I’ll go in now.”
“Have a good night.”
Soon after my mother went out of the door, Marie politely greeted her. I looked at Marie’s figure beyond the door and was impressed.
If the dress she wore during the festival highlighted her figure, she is now wearing a white evening dress that also stimulates men’s instincts. As an evening dress, it exposed her shoulders, arms, and chest, especially the chest part, which was very revealing. It was so revealing that her collarbone was clearly visible.
I didn’t think of Marie as sexy, but after seeing her like this, I had to completely withdraw that thought. If Cecily emphasized her sexiness openly, Marie offered a completely different, so-called reverse charm, which was different from her usual self.
‘Wow
really
’
She might not just be pretty, but too pretty. Even though Marie approached me, I couldn’t take my eyes off her.
If it were in the past, I would have turned my eyes away out of embarrassment, but now I didn’t even think about looking away. I wanted to engrave her beauty, which I couldn’t even begin to describe, in my eyes.
In the meantime, Marie approached me and, with a characteristic confident smile, opened her mouth, leaving behind what she had been saying.
“I’m here. But
”
After a moment of hesitation, she looked up and down at me

“Why did you prepare coffee to talk to me about something?”
She said in a subtle voice while leaning forward slightly. Thanks to that, I could see her deep collarbone more clearly.
At a time when my desire had been accumulating, especially because of Cecily, this stimulation was as spicy as it made me lose my mind a bit.
‘
I’m screwed up.’
I felt the blood rushing towards my lower body.
Men are truly sad creatures, but no matter who the man is, he won’t be able to resist seeing his girlfriend in such a sexy appearance.
I alternated between looking at Marie’s face and chest for a while before covering my face with my hand and opening my mouth with difficulty.
“
Marie.”
“What?”
“
Never mind.”
Even if someone is oblivious, they will probably know by now. And the identity of the medicine my mother gave me.
It’s usually medicine that women have taken in my past life

“Should we sit down for now?”
It seems, in this world, there are also contraceptive pills for men.
