’How much things have changed since I arrived in this world, but... for better or worse, I don’t mind my current life.’

Ryan remained over Irina’s body, feeling the heat emanating from her white skin and the agitation of her breathing.

’I will protect everything I love, no matter who I have to face.’

The elven princess wrapped her arms around him, keeping them above her head; she looked at Ryan with shimmering eyes.

"If you look at me like that, you make me feel even more embarrassed..." she whispered.

"You can feel as embarrassed as you like; seeing you with that expression makes me want to be even closer to you."

Ryan pressed his knee between her legs, feeling the direct contact with Irina’s vagina over the thin fabric of her panties.

"Ah..." A faint moan escaped her lips.

Ryan lowered his head and kissed her again, feeling how she responded.

"Irina, stick out your tongue..."

He let out the phrase in a husky tone, observing how the elf’s eyes shimmered under the dim light of the room.

Irina looked away for a moment, then made contact again, bringing her hands up and positioning them on Ryan’s shoulders.

"But... Your Majesty, please, that’s embarrassing..." Ryan didn’t respond and continued to stare at her fixedly; then, after a few seconds, she timidly stuck out her tongue while keeping her eyes closed.

’Even though she’s obeying me, seeing her so embarrassed is both funny and cute at the same time.’

Ryan brought his face closer and began to suck Irina’s tongue, feeling its softness and moisture.

Then he let it go; she began to gasp, looking at him with a face as red as a tomato.

Irina let out a sharp moan that resonated within the wooden walls, squeezing her eyes shut as her head leaned back.

Ryan had begun to masturbate her vagina with his fingers, and immediately followed by kissing her passionately.

"Incredible, you’re so wet every time."

"Don’t say that, Your Majesty..."

Ryan placed her on her side, leaving her with her back to him, pressed against his chest; he slightly parted her leg and began to insert his penis into her vagina.

"Ah... Ryan!"

She uttered his name desperately.

Ryan took her by the hips, keeping her back to him as he thrust rapidly. He felt the moisture of her vagina flooding his entire penis.

"This... feels so good..."

Irina panted, her hair fanned out across the sheets.

The pleasure became increasingly intense, flooding the senses of both and erasing any trace of external concern.

After a time, Irina tried to take the initiative, perhaps remembering the advice Elder Kenia had given her about pleasing her king.

She positioned herself on top of him with somewhat clumsy movements, yet they were charged with a dedication that Ryan found extremely attractive.

She moved while searching for her own rhythm, letting out broken sighs while observing Ryan’s face with devotion and pleasure.

Ryan enjoyed the effort she put in, noticing how her body trembled from the excess of sensations she was experiencing.

’Until a moment ago she was being very shy; I guess I like this side of her too...’

He caressed her thighs, helping her maintain her balance while the room filled with the lewd sounds caused by the clashing of their sexes.

Irina showed herself to be increasingly uninhibited, responding to every stimulus from Ryan with a passion that seemed to have no end.

The elf’s moans became deeper, marking the climax of the moment.

Ryan came completely, feeling a massive release that seemed to drain every last drop of his semen.

Irina collapsed onto his chest, sweaty and with a smile of satisfaction that lit up her tired face.

Ryan began to feel sleep catch up with him quickly, probably due to his mental fatigue from using his ability so much, also mixed with the relaxation of this moment of pleasure he had just had.

He closed his eyes, and after that, he knew nothing more.

...

When Ryan slowly opened his eyes, he felt an unusual heaviness in his entire body that prevented him from moving with ease.

He felt strangely weak, as if he hadn’t eaten anything in weeks or as if his mana had been completely exhausted.

He tried to sit up in bed, propping his elbows on the mattress.

When he managed to sit up, he blinked several times to clear his blurred vision before realizing what surrounded him.

To his left, Mirian was asleep with an expression of worry.

To his right, Helen was snoring softly, keeping one hand near where her sword usually rested.

Ryan looked down and saw Karol huddled between his legs.

At the end of the bed, at the bottom part, Irina lay resting, with a pale face and visible dark circles under her eyes.

He didn’t understand absolutely anything that was happening in that room.

He remembered perfectly well that he had fallen asleep after having sex with the elven princess.

’Why are they all here?’

He tried to move a bit more, making the wood of the bed creak slightly under his weight.

That small noise was enough for Karol to wake up immediately.

She lifted her head and her eyes widened with surprise to see that Ryan was awake and sitting up.

"Ryan!!"

She screamed his name with a force that made the room vibrate, jumping on him immediately and wrapping her arms around his neck in a suffocating embrace. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Because of the scream, the rest of the girls woke up with a start, instinctively getting on guard before seeing the situation.

All of them stared at Ryan with tears that began to well up from their eyes uncontrollably.

Mirian approached and took his hand, squeezing it with a desperation Ryan had never seen in her before.

"You’re finally awake!"

Ryan looked at them alternately, feeling the confusion grow in his mind at such a reception.

"What’s wrong with you? Why are you crying like that?"

He asked with his usual direct tone, although his voice sounded much raspier and weaker than he remembered.

Helen was the first to respond, also throwing herself onto him to touch him.

"You fool! We thought you had been cursed or that you were going to die!"

She spoke through sobs, completely losing that invincible warrior facade she always maintained in front of others.

"Eh? What the hell are you talking about, Helen?"

Ryan arched an eyebrow, trying to process the information while Karol continued to sob against his shoulder.

He didn’t remember having fought anyone with high-level curse abilities recently. Besides, due to his class, curses didn’t affect him.

Helen took his face in both hands, forcing him to look directly into her tear-filled eyes.

"You spent ten whole days sleeping without waking up!"

And Mirian intervened with her very soft voice.

"We didn’t know what to do, and Mika and the elder said your mana was changing in a strange way..."

Ryan was frozen at Mirian’s revelation.

’Ten days? That’s not possible.’

He looked at Irina, who nodded silently from the foot of the bed, confirming the story with an expression of relief.

’What the hell happened?’
