It has been a few days since I was summoned to the kingdom of Paran in another world. Since then I've had sex with Princess Anastasia several times since then.
Actually, I've been doing it so much that my sense of time has become blurred. Never thought that would happen in my life.
The effect of the skills granted by the princess was immense.
Thanks to the specialized skill [Eternal Engine] for sex, my stamina is bottomless and I can get an erection as many times as I want.
Furthermore, with the [Ultimate Technique] skill, the princess keeps climaxing during sex with me.
'I might need to breathe some fresh air outside soon… Before, I loved to stay at home so much, now getting tired of this room already, I need to touch grass.'
While entwined with the naked princess on the spacious bed, I was absent-mindedly staring at the ceiling, thinking about such things.
No matter how much my stamina has become bottomless and tireless, there are limits to the princess's stamina.
Therefore, I made sure to allocate a moderate amount of time for eating and sleeping.
"Mmm…"
In my arms, Princess Anastasia was sleeping peacefully, making a gentle breathing sound.
I wonder what kind of dream she's having... Occasionally, her eyebrows furrow, so perhaps she's dreaming of the time when she and the hero were subjugating demons together.
'Even if this is another world, there aren't as many inconveniences as I expected.'
There's a magical water dispenser with cold water, there's no insects in the room, there is an air conditioning magic tool on the wall that doesn't let the heat get to us. Food is delivered three times a day as well so we never needed to go out for anything.
I only wanted to have my PC to play some games and I would be set for life.
Although I've been doing almost nothing but having sex for these few days, I haven't encountered any problems due to cultural differences. Well, obviously I hadn't interacted with anyone else since I entered this room.
My job is only to eat good food and have sex.
While warm baths seemed like a privilege granted only to the upper class, the palace naturally had well-equipped facilities.
'Being a stallion might not be so bad after all.'
There's no need to worry about the distribution performance not doing well and receiving sarcastic remarks from the department head, or about being afraid that telling female employees off would be considered sexual harassment.
I occasionally meet the hero, but it's a little tough because of the guilt, nevertheless, unlike me, he's quite cool. Maybe because I'm a collaborator in impregnating Princess Anastasia, the hero has been very friendly to me.
"Mm, hmm…? Fwa…"
"Oh, are you awake?"
In my arms, as I gazed at the luxurious pattern on the ceiling, Anastasia squirmed and shifted. When she opened her eyes, she momentarily wore a dazed expression, but when she looked at me, she soon put on a gentle smile.
"Good morning, Daniel~"
"Good morning. Did you sleep well?"
"Yes, thanks to you, I slept soundly."
Princess Anastasia blushed slightly as she stood before me completely naked.
Her bashful demeanor was quite endearing, so I picked up a nearby sheet and draped it over her shoulders.
"Thank you… I will have your meal brought in."
"Yeah, thanks."
As Princess Anastasia rang the bell provided in the room, meals and fruits and a special cold water were promptly prepared.
This cold water was also quite precious, transported to the palace from some spiritual mountain by a special transporter, or so I was told. Seems to be really nutritious for the body.
"Do you need anything else?"
"No, I'm good. The food is delicious and there's nothing to complain about."
While I couldn't eat things like pork cutlet and pasta with cheese, the taste of the dishes served was excellent, partly because they were part of the court cuisine.
Still, the dishes were so different from what I usually ate that I often couldn't tell what I was eating.
Even if I was told the name of the dish, I would forget it the next moment.
Nevertheless, I ate whatever was served. No matter how tireless my stamina was, my stomach would always growl.
"Hey, Princess… is it really not good for me to go outside?"
"Huh? Mr. Daniel is supposed to be staying in the room for the uncursing ritual, but…"
After finishing the meal, I suddenly asked Princess Anastasia.
She seemed to ponder for a moment and blinked a few times.
"I just want to breathe some fresh air outside."
"If that's the case, I don't think it's a problem. You've been cooped up in this room all this time. In that case, the Lapis Garden would be perfect."
"The Lapis Garden?"
"It's a special place only accessible to the royal family, it's technically an exhibition facility for minerals, though."
The Lapis Garden was said to house some magically endowed minerals, considered the royal family's treasures and displayed as a show of power.
"The hero has also been given a special magical ore from there. Of course, I also possess my own unique item."
"Oh? what kind of thing is that? Is it like a ring?"
While I thought it was a gem rather than a mineral, according to my gaming knowledge, such special magical tools usually took the form of accessories.
'Is it like a Doran's Ring? Haha'
I asked with interest and she nodded in response.
"My magical ore took the form of a ring. But, unfortunately, it was destroyed during the battle with the demons."
"Wait, the magical ore itself took the form of a ring or was it forged into a ring?"
"We used the magical ore as the jewel of the ring."
"Oh, that makes sense."
The Princess apparently had a pure white magical gem that amplified healing powers.
She had it processed into a magical ring accessory, but the ring had shattered after the demon subjugation journey.
"The hero's had a red mineral embedded in the hilt of his sword. It was the one used by the founding king when he pioneered this country and it's still kept in the Lapis Garden."
"Wow…"
The founding king's sword. In RPG terms, it would be quite a rare item, a key item to defeat the demon king in the endgame.
Even at this age, hearing the name of such an item that tickled a boy's heart made me excited.
"In that case, I want to go to that Lapis Garden… but is it okay for me to go in?"
"Mr. Daniel is a valuable guest to me and the hero. If you enter the Lapis Garden with me, there should be no problem."
With a smile, Princess Anastasia mentioned that she would prepare herself once the meal was finished and returned to her room.
Several servants came to me and prepared my clothes.
Wearing them, I waited in the room for the princess to come.
"Mr. Daniel, I apologize for the wait."
After waiting for a while in the room, Princess Anastasia, who had finished preparing, returned.
Clad in a white dress, she resembled a true saint, her slender white arms were dazzling and I found myself squinting.
"I will guide you to the Lapis Garden. Please, this way."
In a way that seemed to be guided by Princess Anastasia, I stepped outside the room for the first time in a while.
The stone corridor was still very long and everyone we passed bowed their heads.
Well, strictly speaking, it was not to me but to Princess Anastasia, who was walking ahead of me.
"Ah, Hero!"
As Princess Anastasia cheerfully called out, I raised my head to find the figure of Hero Alex, wielding a sword.
"Princess Anastasia! And Mr. Daniel too… Is it your first time going outside in a while?"
"Oh… I said I wanted to breathe some fresh air outside and the princess said she would take me to the Lapis Garden."
The hero, who came over here with a refreshing smile, was polite even to me, the so-called interloper.
The child born between me and the princess seems to be considered 'the child of the hero and the saint', which made me uneasy, but watching this scene I felt somewhat reassured.
"The Lapis Garden, huh! That's great, there are many legendary weapons and artifacts displayed there."
"I suppose the sword you used is also kept there?"
Once I said that, the hero's expression brightened even further.
Originally possessing a handsome face, his smile made his good looks shine even more.
"Exactly! I had the honor of using the founding king's sword when I exterminated the demons. The brilliance of the blade is undiminished and it repels all evil with its sacred protection. It was like a dream, being able to wield such a legendary artifact…"
Slightly excited, the hero spoke rapidly.
However, that enthusiasm was short-lived. Suddenly, he looked around, his expression turning anxious and he hung his head apologetically.
"I-I'm sorry. When it comes to weapons, I tend to…"
"No, not at all. It's perfectly fine. You're a young man and it's natural to be passionate about these things. I like those things too."
Honestly, ever since I heard the term 'legendary sword', I'd been itching to see this 'founding king's sword'. Recalling the games I played, the desire to witness this 'founding king's sword' was unstoppable.
"Thank you for your consideration."
But the hero's face remained clouded. While he had been enjoying himself earlier, his smile was now tinged with sadness.
"Alex?"
"I'm sorry… but I have a military conference to attend shortly. I will be appointed as the head of the country's military very soon."
"The head of the military?"
"Yes, in simple terms, I will be the supreme commander of the armed forces."
So, he would be the most senior person in the military. I recalled that the hero was twenty years old. To achieve such a high-ranking position at his age… was that really okay?
"Is it because you're the hero?"
"That's right. I'm a commoner by birth and have no noble title. No matter how great a hero I am, it's necessary to have achievements and status to marry the princess."
He said this with a somewhat melancholic tone. Despite saving the world by defeating the demons, it seemed like he still needed more to be accepted for marriage to the princess.
"More achievement than killing the freaking demon king?!" I asked incredulous. That's stupid.
With a grimace, Princess Anastasia answered me.
"For the people and us that's more than enough, but the last few decades the nobles started to stray from the founding king's ideal, and are being awfully difficult to deal with, and as they have some strong connections to vital parts of the kingdom..."
She didn't need to finish, I might not be too political-savvy but even I understood that things might get ugly in the future if the princess can't marry the hero.
"Under his Majesty's guidance, I will fulfill various tasks as a military officer and when the princess becomes pregnant, I will be allowed to inherit the title of an extinct earl's line."
"I see… it sounds like a lot of pressure."
If I could just impregnate the princess, I'd be done for life, but the hero had many responsibilities. At this point, I couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
After all, he was even younger than the new employees at my company.
"If this is my destiny, I'll follow it. However, Mr. Daniel… the princess's pregnancy is in your hands."
With a serious expression, the hero said that and then he bowed his head earnestly.
"Please, make sure the princess becomes pregnant…!"
"Y-Yeah…"
I kept my voice relatively low since it would be awkward if someone overheard, but the sincerity in his voice made me nod involuntarily.
To an outsider, this was quite an odd conversation.
"Oh, I… have to go now! Well then, princess, Mr. Daniel… I'm off."
The hero, who had raised his head, suddenly became flustered, saying that he had to attend a meeting soon. Princess Anastasia and I watched him leave.
"The hero seems very busy…"
"Yes, I'm getting worried… holding such a high position at such a young age…"
Somehow, I had a bad feeling about this. For now, though, I was on my way to the Lapis Garden with the princess. That unsettling feeling in my chest didn't seem to fade away.
