The person who came to rescue me brought a great sense of relief, but with it came overwhelming embarrassment. Hunter, who forcefully entered and kicked down the door, couldn't take his eyes off me tied to the bed. It seemed like he didn't think about the idea of setting me free.
"Prince... Del...."
"How did you get in here?"
Khan asked rudely. Hunter's head turned sharply towards him, and anger gradually appeared on Hunter's face.
"Alexis Duke, are you in your right mind? Not only did you intrude into the imperial palace, but you also kidnapped my guest and engaged in such... such disgraceful acts!"
"I took my prisoner."
"If you dare to underestimate the presence of the Emperor in the palace, Alexis Duke, you should go back to the northern region and wait for punishment! It won't be overlooked easily, so be prepared!"
"That's fine."
Surprisingly, Khan replied obediently and walked towards the bed.
Why, why is he coming this way?
I trembled with anxiety and fear as Khan removed the clamp that had been biting into my nipples. The problem was that he didn't carefully remove them one by one; instead, he forcefully pulled the cord connected to the clamp.
"Ah! Ugh...!"
"Prince Del!"
Hunter rushed towards me, alarmed. However, when he saw my nipples, which had become twice as swollen and red, he turned his head away.
No... is this the time to be embarrassed? You have to release me! Save me! You son of a bitch!
Misplaced resentment grew towards Hunter. But it wasn't the time to curse Hunter. I had momentarily forgotten what Khan would release me next.
Without any warning, Khan pulled out the skewer that was inserted into my penis.
"Wait, ah, haak! Ah, ah!"
As the skewer was pulled out, semen gushed out like a fountain. It seemed like what I couldn't release during the climax earlier was coming out now. Khan bent his body, suppressing my moans with one hand, and with the other hand, he pulled the cloth that tied my arms.
Finally freed from all restraints, I had the freedom I had longed for, but I couldn't lift a finger.
I, naked with my throbbing penis sticking out bright red as if filled with blood, trembled and convulsed. The Duke, who was looking down at me, and the Crown Prince, who was embarrassed by the situation.
"This....you bastards.."
"I hate everything...."
Leaving those words behind, I lost consciousness.

Hunter had been in a state of extreme confusion since last night. After receiving a report that Duke Alexis had mobilized the soldiers assigned to him and came to the reception room, Hunter waited for him there. However, no matter how long he waited, the Duke did not show up.
It turned out that the soldiers had left a magician in the Crown Prince's garden.
Since the Duke looked confident and his face vouched for his status, no one could have imagined that the Duke would go to a different room than the reception room.
The room of the future Crown Princess.
The place where the Archduke took the magician was where Del was.
The future Crown Prince's room was slightly outside the strict security system. I don't know If the Archduke knew about it or not, but he went there anyway and disappeared with the future Crown Princess. He must have used a teleportation spell.
The soldiers all gathered and spoke in unison. The Duke was angry throughout his search for the Crown Princess and called him "my prisoner.'"The Duke's obsession with Del was so well-known that he blamed himself for not anticipating that he would go straight to see Del.
"Where is the Magic Tower Lord now?"
When Hunter barely suppressed his anger and asked, the aide replied, "It seems he left for the Magic Tower for a moment."
He had gone to the Magic Tower to complete the curse towards the Second Prince.
At that very moment, Hunter became resentful of everyone—The Archduke, Imperial Knights, his soldiers, and Cain. But among them, he was most resentful of himself.
Just then, someone burst into the reception room. It was one of the Imperial Knights, the one guarding Hunter's bedroom.
"Sir Robert, what's going on?"
Hunter asked, pressing his temples. His head was pounding. However, the words that came out of Sir Robert's mouth were so strange.
"Is it true that Del is missing?"
"...What?"
"How dare you speak so lightly about the presence of the Crown Princess? Sir Robert, are you in your right mind?"
Although the aide next to him made a fuss, Sir Robert, unbothered, approached Hunter.
"This is the Imperial Palace, isn't it? Moreover, isn't it the Crown Prince's Palace? How lax should the security be for someone to be kidnapped?"
"Huh...."
Sir Robert's eyes were filled with an intense determination that seemed almost frightening. It wasn't Sir Robert. The moment that thought crossed Hunter's mind, he drew his sword.
"Who are you?"
In response to Hunter's question, Sir Robert made a short sound like "Ah." Then, he tore off his mask from below the chin, revealing his face. The aide let out a gasp, but Hunter calmly faced the uncovered face beneath the disguise.
"...Guild leader."
It was Cruel and Undice's leader, with whom Del had been close.
"Are you truly insane? How dare you disguise yourself and intrude into the palace! Your Highness, this person must be detained immediately!"
"Be quiet."
Hunter's calm but low-pitched voice silenced the aide. Hunter questioned Andrea, who was glaring at him with brown eyes.
"Have you infiltrated the palace like this before?"
"Is that important? Del is missing."
"Alright, we can deal with that later. But be prepared for punishment, Guild leader."
Saying that Hunter lowered the sword that had been pressed against Andrea's neck.
"I will contact the people I've planted in the palace. You should go to the Duke's residence in the capital."
Upon Hunter's words, Andrea immediately turned away. However, before leaving the room, he spoke with a cold gaze.
"If anything happens to Del, I won't stand idly by."
After that, he quickly left. The aide rubbed the back of his neck.
"Did you see that shameless guy! Your Highness, how can you just let him go!"
"Do you even understand priorities right now?"
It was a rare sharp reprimand from Hunter. The aide quickly changed his posture and lowered his head.
The situation was truly out of control. How frightened Del must be. Just thinking about it made Hunter's chest tighten with anxiety. On the other hand, Andrea's words seemed to have some truth to them.
Not only did I bring you as my guest, I brought him to the palace, and he ended up suffering from Tierry's actions.
Hunter sat back on the sofa again, deciding that he would apologize to Del when he saw him.
***
Noble estates were scattered throughout the continent, but high-ranking nobles each had separate mansions in the capital. These mansions were meant for commuting to and from the palace, receiving the Emperor's summons, or staying during imperial events.
There was a district where these mansions gathered, and Duke Alexis' mansion was located in the deepest part of that prestigious area. Although every noble wished to receive an invitation to the Duke's mansion at least once, it was even more heavily guarded and closed off than the palace itself, and no one had ever set foot inside.
Andrea was now climbing over the walls of such a place. Triple-layered protective spells, boundary spells, and intrusion detection spells were cast, and besides a few magic spells he had learned at the Magic Tower, he didn't know how to use any other magic. However, he had a lot of magical tools purchased by spending a lot of money.
He was currently wearing a cloak enchanted with concealment magic. It was an expensive robe with a guarantee that, despite being disposable, it was made by the Magic Tower, and it could withstand any magic. Thanks to this, there was no issue until Andrea climbed the wall. It was worth the money.
Thinking so, he was about to climb a tree extending from the inside of the garden when
Crackle. As soon as he grasped a thick branch, a strong electric shock surged through his entire body.
"Well, this...?"
Who would have thought even the trees could have this kind of magic?
Andrea's body plummeted to the floor.
