Chapter 298: A Three-Way Battle (1)
1.
Eloa, who got to the mansion before Siwoo, exchanged a brief conversation with Countess Albireo.
They didn't talk about anything major, just exchanging friendly greetings, like the Countess telling her to feel at home and such, so the whole thing didn't take too long.
In truth, both the Duchess Tiphereth and the Countess Albireo weren't close on a personal level, as they had only been involved in strictly business-related manners so far.
Unlike Deneb, who was more down-to-earth, Albireo was an all-business type of person, so Eloa couldn't really relate to her.
Then again, it was the combination of such a practical mindset and skills that let her build a major business success—some people even dubbed it as 'Gemini Kingdom'—in less than a century.
"Hmm, hmm~ ♪
The weather outside was nice.
Coincidentally, Eloa was also in a good mood.
She hummed a tune as she wandered around the garden, thinking that it would be nice to check out the beautiful garden that the Countess owned.
They said that to judge the beauty of a mansion, one only needed to judge the garden and in that regard, there was no need to mention how beautiful the Gemini's garden was.
Flowers of various colors were blooming beautifully, as if they had forgotten the season.
Each tree stands were manicured impeccably, she could tell that a skilled gardener had handcrafted them beautifully.
The fountains that were scattered throughout the garden spurted out clean water, she couldn't see even a single leaf floating on them.
"It would be nice to stroll around here while drinking..."
Enjoying the scenery, Eloa contemplated going back inside and grabbing a bottle of wine.
As she walked through the neatly trimmed lawn, a beautiful villa entered her view.
Compared to the main building, which always looked busy with dozens of servants going around, the villa's exterior seemed to be lacking in regards to its maintenance.
Yet, it was still larger and grander than the villa she used to live with Ravi.
She assumed that there were probably more than one such villas within the Mansion's vast grounds.
Normally, she'd pass by without much thought, but she was feeling unusually upbeat today.
It wouldn't be a bad idea to check out that villa, would it?
With excited steps, she came over and walked around said villa.
Woah, it's big.
Even excluding the attic that sloped down diagonally, the building looked to be at least three stories tall. Within the fenced area, there was also a garden and a fountain.
Should I ask to stay here while I recover?
Since she had been treated like a VIP due to her selling all the legacies and magic items from the Homunculi she had hunted to the Geminis at a cheap price, she figured that the Countess would surely agree to this request of hers.
Siwoo would probably like it if he were to live here too.
Eloa hadn't even realized that him living with her was a foregone conclusion as she nodded in satisfaction.
"Anyway... I should explore a bit more."
Eloa quietly opened the gate and stepped inside.
If she were staying here alone, she wouldn't need to care about it much, but since she planned to stay here with Siwoo, she figured that she'd check out the condition of the rooms and the building's overall maintenance.
The most important thing of all, the kitchen had to be perfect.
Because she'd be making meals for Siwoo there.
"Oho?"
But, her worries were unfounded, as the villa was in an excellent condition.
She was originally worried about the slightly old exterior, but the shiny marble tiles in the lobby and the spotless stair railings made her previous concern seem silly.
Now, where's the kitchen...?
As Eloa was daydreaming about her cozy life with Siwoo, she sensed some movement from inside the villa.
Despite her senses being slightly dulled due to the price she had to pay for her covenants, she still possessed abilities that far surpassed an ordinary witch's.
With her hand on the stair's railing, she paused before going upstairs. Her senses picked up faint noises and the gentle vibration of the silver-plated handle.
I just barged in when there are people inside...
In other words, she was trespassing, a considerably rude gesture.
Normally, she'd have quietly closed the door and left, but for some reason, her body froze.
The reason for that was because the vibration she felt was strangely familiar.
"Ah..."
Siwoo's here...
She recognized it.
The identity of the vibration she felt in her hand.
Said vibration was similar to the ones that the sofa springs made after they reflected Siwoo's voice whenever she and him talked until late night while drinking.
For a superhuman being like Eloa, recognizing something like this wasn't a difficult feat at all.
It seemed like after he met the twins and went somewhere else, he had ended up here, probably chilling here by himself.
"Hehehe."
At that moment, a smile spread across her lips.
Though it hadn't been long since they parted, the thought of seeing him again made her feel giddy.
Of course she had no intention of barging in and interrupting him, so she carefully climbed up the stairs, planning to quietly see what he was up to.
When she reached the second floor, she saw a double door with one of them being opened, probably for ventilation.
Up to this point, she had not heard any other sounds coming from nearby.
She tiptoed quietly, making sure that her shoes didn't squeak.
And as she got closer, she finally heard something through her ears...
'Haaa...haa...'
'Heuk...'
...Heavy breathings.
In that instant, a chill ran down Eloa's spine as her hair stood on its ends due to her thrill and intuition.
The old Eloa would have been puzzled, not knowing what kind of act was taking place inside.
However, the current her could instantly guess what was happening from those sounds only.
He was doing it with someone.
The same act that kept her tossing and turning back in the motel all night long.
It was the act that she suspected Siwoo did with Periwinkle last night.
And the act that she had done herself, and tormented her with guilt and anguish.
That act...
Coming to her senses, Eloa found herself already standing in front of the door.
'Haang...! Aahhh...! S-Siwoo...! Siwoo...!'
Now that she was this close, she could clearly hear them.
The sounds of flesh slapping flesh, the sweet moans of ecstasy, even the nasal sounds that sounded like a cat in heat twisting its body.
Those sounds created a harmonious melody, a duet between the two people in the act, Sharon and Siwoo.
I have to leave...
I have to leave!
Ihavetoleave!
Her rational mind kept urging her to leave.
When it came to the Duchess Tiphereth, there wasn't even a need to mention her straightforward nature and upright character.
To give those two some space was both logical and the right thing to do.
Yet, despite that, Eloa was rooted to the spot, staring blankly at the door from which the sounds were coming.
-Ba-dump, ba-dump, ba-dump!
Her heart was pounding wildly.
At some point, her breath stopped coming through her nose but her mouth. Her body was hot, as if she had a fever.
Siwoo was on the other side of that door.
In his raw, beastly state, devouring Evergreen with a voracious appetite.
'Yes...! Yesyesyes...! There! Ahhh...!'
Sharon's voice, coming from inside, resonated in Eloa's blank head.
Memories of her own experience with Siwoo in that waterway tunnel quickly flashed her mind.
The joy of becoming a woman that she felt for the first time in her life tickled her body like a throbbing pain.
This shouldn't be happening...
This shouldn't be happening!
Eloa held her breath and cautiously lowered her body.
By doing that, she came to see a keyhole with a sliver of light coming through.
Although it was a tiny hole, if she were to take a look through it, she could see everything that was happening inside the room.
The urge that told her to do exactly that was so strong to the point that it brushed off the faint feeling of jealousy that she felt.
Yeah...
I'm not peeping...
I'm just making sure that he doesn't get carried away and do something bad...
Through the narrow keyhole, Eloa finally saw everything that was happening inside the room.
Just as she had guessed, the woman lying on the bed was Sharon Evergreen.
Her unique dark green hair sprayed messily across the sheets, her face melted with pleasure as she became one with Siwoo.
"Heuk! Ugh...! Hang...!"
Above her, who was spreading her legs wide, was Siwoo, who was pressing down on her forcibly.
Eloa's beloved disciple, Siwoo, standing naked, showcasing his bulging muscles as she moved his hips.
Each time he moved, Sharon's breasts, which were able to keep their beautiful shape even when she was lying down, bounced up and down.
With her legs spread wide on Siwoo's shoulders, she gripped the bedsheet with one hand and trembled in ecstasy.
The scene was so frenetic that Eloa could feel the heat through the crack.
His throbbing member, whose size was so clear from its silhouette, plunged deep into Sharon's body and pulled out repeatedly, soaked in her love juices.
"Haah... H-Hold me... Hold me... Haaa...!"
Moaning heavily, Sharon moved the legs that were on Siwoo's shoulders and wrapped them around his waist instead.
Then, she held her breasts up, as if they were an offering. With a voice dripping in lust, she...
"S-Suck them... Siwoo..."
Without even pulling out, Siwoo leaned forward and took one of her nipples into his mouth.
At the same time, her waist arched up from the bed.
-Slurp, slurp!
-Squelch, squelch!
"Ah...! That's so good...! Does Sharon's pussy feel good too, Siwoo...?
"Ah... I love it, I love it! I'm gonna burst—!"
Sound of dripping juices alongside some slurping sounds echoed as he sucked on her breasts.
Sharon let out mischievous giggles as she kept on uttering naughty lines to arouse Siwoo.
Her moans and coquettish nasal sounds were an added bonus to all this.
"I-I want to be...aah! Devoured...by you...! I-I h-haven't pleasured myself even once...ngh—! W-Waiting for you...! S-Sharon's pussy...is lonely...! Ahhh...!"
Her provocative choice of words were clearly aimed to give him pleasure other than the physical stimulation she had already provided with her body.
The childish endearment of calling herself by her own name, just like a young kid, made Eloa's head spin.
"..."
As for Eloa, she swallowed hard as she was watching, her throat moved visibly.
Her mouth felt dry, she couldn't stop herself from gulping repeatedly.
The scene beyond the door flooded her with too many memories.
More prominently, the memory of Siwoo violently pouncing on her back in the waterway tunnel.
She was thinking that perhaps, back then, he must have lusted after her body with those eyes and expressions on his face.
"I-If you keep on nibbling my breasts like that...! Ahh! W-While thrusting so deeply...! S-Sharon won't be able to—! S-Siwoo! Ahh...!"
Sharon lightly pinched Siwoo's wrist as she said that.
For Eloa, it looked like an insignificant action, but this was Sharon's subtle way to ask him to treat her rougher.
This was an unspoken understanding that they had come to develop due to the months of experience they had together.
Siwoo, who had been sucking her nipples so hard to the point that her chest turned conical, immediately picked up on the sign.
In a rough voice, he replied to her words.
"Won't be able to what? Say that only if you aren't squeezing me so tightly."
"T-That's...! Hng...! T-That's because you keep on biting— Kyah!"
"Shut up. Keep squeezing my dick, stop talking nonsense."
Since it had been so long since they had done this, Siwoo wasn't sure about the right level of intensity.
He hesitated, worried that he might have gone too far, so he looked at Sharon's face for reassurance.
Her response was a vigorous nod.
Which meant she wanted him to continue with this pace.
"...Fucking cumslut."
"Haah...!"
Meanwhile, Eloa was receiving shock after shock.
Siwoo never treated even Periwinkle this roughly.
The sight of him, who always seemed so proper and polite, treating Sharon as if she was only an object while getting really rough with her, made Eloa's hands tremble.
Seeing Sharon panting with her mouth half-open despite being treated so roughly also added to her shock.
But...
"Hng...!"
Eloa let out a small gasp, forgetting that she wasn't supposed to make any noise.
Fortunately, Siwoo and Sharon were too engrossed in their lovemaking, so they didn't even hear her.
A burning heat rose from her lower abdomen, it was as if her brand was heating up.
At the same time, she realized that her underwear, tightly clinging her most intimate place, was slowly getting wet.
No way...
She carefully slipped her hand into her panties.
This can't be happening...
She tried to deny reality, kept telling herself that there was no way that this was real, but on her fingertips...
Felt transparent and slippery...
It was definitely the sweet and sticky nectar that came out due to her arousal.
2.
Meanwhile...
On the villa's terrace, hidden behind the curtains, there were two other people who were watching Sharon and Siwoo's heated reunion sex.
"..."
"..."
One of them was Odile, who had turned up the music box to its maximum, she was gnawing on the hem of her skirt.
And Odette, who was right beside her.
