I Became a Gallery Manager in Another World Chapter 158: The Mapleflower’s Family Affairs (5)

The Three Primary Colors Families.

This term referred to the three major families of the Empire that supported the imperial family: Redrose, Bluetulip, and Yellow Pansy.

However, even though the Three Primary Colors Families held equal status, their abilities were not equal.

Redrose had amassed trendous wealth by engaging in comrce since the early days of the Empire, and Yellowpansy possessed an extensive territory and legitimacy.

But Bluetulip was different.

Bluetulip lacked a vast territory, remarkable comrcial prowess, and even legitimacy.

In fact, so noble families surpassed Bluetulip in both wealth and the size of their territories.

Yet, Bluetulip undeniably held a prestigious position as one of the three major families.

So then…

How did Bluetulip beco one of the Three Primary Colors Families?

The answer to this question was simple.

Politics.

In the early days of the Empire, right after the descent of Goddess Elise, when countless nobles sought to settle as far as possible from the imperial family’s influence, the ancestors of Bluetulip had a different thought.

If they couldn’t achieve an overwhelming victory in competition…

Why not stay close to the imperial family and spread their influence across the Empire?

It was a risky choice that could result in the family being absorbed by the imperial family. However, Bluetulip, naturally skilled in psychological manipulation, managed to survive this delicate balance.

As a result, while Bluetulip lacked the exceptional traits of Redrose or Yellowpansy, they rose to the position of imperial advisors, involved in all matters of the Empire.

The political skills that had positioned Bluetulip among the Three Primary Colors Families were passed down to Terrace, the second son.

Under normal circumstances, Valentine’s sense of chastity was so strong that she would never have allowed such a thing as netorase at her husband’s request.

But even the hardest rock can be worn down by water.

Using the “politics” and “psychological manipulation” skills he learned from his family, Terrace spent a long ti eroding Valentine’s values, eventually persuading her to allow netorase.

Of course, Terrace was no fool; he was simply satisfying his desires.

Just as in the many NTS works he had seen, he even placed an unbreakable shackle on Valentine, should she ever develop genuine feelings.

-“Our child is the future of the Empire.”

-“Bearing children is the duty of the Emperor.”

For Valentine Mapleflower to bear Terrace Bluetulip’s child was a near-curse-like suggestion, a responsibility tied to the “heir to the throne.”

To escape this suggestion, Valentine would have to renounce “the throne of the Empire.” No matter how intense her pleasure, she was bound in a perfect plan that would prevent her from corruption.

However, there was one thing Terrace had not anticipated…

He was more susceptible to pleasure than he had imagined.

“Mmgh..! Hah…! Ah…!”

Bound to the chair, Terrace drooled as he moaned.

He couldn’t even begin to guess how long he’d been tied up like this.

─Creak.

“Well done. You waited patiently.”

“Hah… Natalia!… Please, let go… I… I can’t… take it anymore!”

“Don’t act up. Didn’t Lord Terrace order not to ever release you? Haha… But I’ll reward you with sothing you really enjoy.”

Scratch—Scratch—

With deliberately coarse, grood nails, Natalia stroked the tip of his glans as if sawing it, whispering softly.

“Gah… Ngh!… Ah… Ah!”

“Hmm… Dripping your filthy fluids like that, does it feel that good?”

Pain, tickling, pleasure, and then pain again.

Feeling the mixed sensations from his glans, Terrace’s head tilted back as he made a pig-like squeal.

“Ah!… Ah! Ngh!…”

Though he longed for the climax, Terrace couldn’t even manage an erection.

Thud—

The chastity device, which allowed slightly more space when he wasn’t aroused, thoroughly suppressed Terrace’s erection.

“Oh my, if you don’t settle down quickly, you’re going to ruin yourself.”

“Hah… Natalia!”

The only fortunate thing was that, through repeated conditioning, Terrace had grown accustod to suppressing his arousal.

But…

Scratch scratch scratch—

“Ugh… Ugh!!!”

“Oh, you’re getting aroused again? Do you actually want to destroy yourself?”

Every ti Terrace forced himself to calm down, Natalia stimulated the tip of his glans, causing him to harden again.

Who knew how many tis this cycle had repeated.

“Haha… Any more, and Lord Terrace’s glans might tear… what should we do?”

Scratch scratch scratch scratch scratch scratch—

Even as she spoke, Natalia didn’t stop scratching his glans with her nails.

“No… Stop!! Ah… Please, stop!”

“Oh dear, Lord Terrace’s body says not to stop. Maybe it even wants to ejaculate without a full erection. How about this? If you climax now, I’ll change the chastity device to an even smaller one. Haha… I’m curious to see just how small your little buddy can get.”

“S-stop! If… If it gets any smaller…”

“Go ahead, spill it! Spill that filthy stuff, you garbage!”

With a squelching sound, Terrace couldn’t endure it any longer.

Even in the agonizing restraint of the chastity device, just the gentle touch of her thumb coaxed out a thin stream of his essence, wetting Natalia’s hand.

“Pfft! Hahaha! After being tornted all night, and this is all you have to show for it? You’re kidding, right? Hah!”

“Ugh… Ah… Ngh… Ah…”

“Aah~ You’re shedding so many tears… Feeling so frustrated? Do you, Lord Terrace, want to be fully aroused and release every last drop of sen in your urethra? But you can’t~ Males like you, such submissive creatures, don’t deserve that privilege.”

A mixture of sha, self-loathing, and fury surged within him.

Yet Terrace knew.

He had already reached a point where he could no longer stop himself.

As Terrace sank into despair, Natalia whispered sweetly to him.

“But don’t worry. Even though you’re a worthless submissive male who doesn’t deserve to embrace a female… I’ll still bear your child.”

“R-really? Natalia… You… You’ll bear… my child?”

“I’m serious. In return, give your life to , Lord Terrace.”

“What?… What did you just say?”

“I said, give your life to . Isn’t that a fair price for carrying the child of such an inferior male?”

It was absurd.

To give up his entire life for a re woman.

Of course, history was full of foolish n, but Terrace was different.

…Or so he had thought.

“Haha… You think it’s nonsense, don’t you? Then, for the hesitant Lord Terrace, I’ll give you one last chance.”

Natalia took out two syringes, one connected to a long rubber tube, right in front of Terrace.

“Here, this one contains Lord Ian’s sen. I collected it from the condom used with Lady Valentine. And in this empty syringe here… Look, I’ve put in the sen you just released.”

“…W-what are you doing!… What do you plan to do with that?”

As Terrace shouted in alarm, Natalia chuckled softly and answered.

“If you don’t make your decision right now, I’m going to conceive with Lord Ian’s sen.”

“…What?”

“You heard , didn’t you? But… if you pledge your life to , then I’ll conceive with your sen instead.”
