I’m Trapped in a Bloody Reverse Harem Game - Chapter 6

“O-Orias… I-I can’t anymore…”

I whispered into his ear, sitting atop his thighs. His large hand softly patted my waist, the warmth of his palm searing against my bare skin.

“Alright, Haniel. Let’s stop here for today.”

As the Pope’s words ended, the system window appeared.

<Pope’s Name Acquired!>

<Pope> <Orias>: Capture Difficulty ★+

<Calling his name will slightly increase affection.>

So the Pope has a name. Until now, I had only referred to him as “Your Holiness.” Battling through the effects of 100% sensitivity, I buried my face in his neck. Sweat glistened faintly on his nape.

‘I’ve never seen him sweat before.’

<Stamina is insufficient. Would you like to consume a Stamina Potion?>

While gazing at the beads of sweat on his neck, the system window snapped me back. I nodded faintly.

As soon as I nodded, time paused momentarily. A stamina potion appeared, and I drank it while accessing the inventory.

<Blessing Ring – Upgraded>

I should equip this. The upgraded tag next to the ring’s description hinted at its reward status.

<Would you like to equip the Blessing Ring?>

• Equipping the ring alters the time ratio between reality and the game.

[email protected](#*!

The explanation text displayed distorted characters at the bottom. I had no idea what it meant.

This was the first time I’d seen such an error in the game, but I brushed it off, speaking aloud.

“Equip.”

<You have equipped the Blessing Ring!>

<The Blessing of Time and Space has imbued Haniel’s body.>

<This is a non-removable item.>

Ignoring the additional details, I equipped the ring. A radiant light enveloped me, causing a strange sensation as I closed and reopened my eyes to inspect the ring.

The slim, crimson band now adorned my left index finger.

“Check abilities.”

<Time in reality and time in the game will now diverge due to the blessing.>

What does that mean?

<Game restrictions have been eased. You can now remain in the game for up to 24 hours of real-world time.>

While inspecting the equipment, I noticed the countdown diminishing below the ring’s description.

The time to drink a stamina potion while paused was limited to 30 seconds.

5, 4, 3…

Seeing the countdown, I decided to interpret the unclear explanation later.

As I returned to the game, I felt the Pope’s gentle hand patting my head. He cradled my limp body before carefully withdrawing himself.

“Mmh…”

The sensation of him pulling out made me exhale softly. It felt good… maybe I’d sleep if only this game allowed for it.

Exhausted, I closed my eyes as he lifted me into his arms.

“Let me help you wash up.”

I nodded weakly.

***

The Pope summoned me at every opportunity. We had shared our bodies several times in his office. Now, it was finally time for the etiquette lessons I had delayed. While waiting for the etiquette teacher personally assigned by the Pope, I opened my inventory to retrieve one of the rewards stored there.

<Certain Effect Aphrodisiac>

• An aphrodisiac identical in appearance to stamina recovery potions, making it difficult to distinguish between the two.
• Usable on capture targets.
• Can be gifted to capture targets.
• Ownership can be relinquished.

“Relinquish ownership?”

I muttered as I fiddled with the aphrodisiac, identical in color to the stamina recovery potion, and noticed the description at the bottom.

“Let’s try it.”

Unlike the stamina recovery potion, the aphrodisiac had this peculiar option. Curious, I set the aphrodisiac down on the table and softly recited the command.

“Relinquish ownership.”

<You have relinquished ownership of the Certain Effect Aphrodisiac.>

<The aphrodisiac is now available for anyone to use.>

Nothing extraordinary happened. Slightly disappointed, I left the aphrodisiac on the table and stood up. Just then, a knock came from the door.

“Lady Haniel, I am Zoro, responsible for your etiquette lessons.”

“Hello, Sir Zoro. I look forward to your guidance.”

“Yes, haha. The weather is cold today. May I trouble you for a cup of tea?”

As soon as the etiquette teacher entered, he made this request. Here, the way I prepared the tea would determine my etiquette score. The better I served it, the shorter the class would be.

Smiling politely, I replied, “Of course. Please, have a seat, Sir Zoro.”

Nothing in this game was as tedious as the etiquette lessons. I moved my hands carefully, ensuring elegance in every motion. Presenting the tea gracefully, I saw Zoro smile contentedly.

“Excellent.”

<Excellent Tea Brewing Skills! Etiquette lesson duration: 5 hours!>

Excellent. There was a higher evaluation, but this was good enough. I smiled and thanked him.

“Thank you. Please, enjoy.”

“Oh, this… Lady Haniel, may I add this to the tea?”

“Sorry?”

Instead of drinking the tea, Zoro’s attention shifted to the aphrodisiac on the corner of the table. Mistaking it for something beneficial to health, as it looked identical to the stamina recovery potion, he reached for it.

“Wait!”

Before I could stop him, he poured the aphrodisiac into his tea and began drinking it.

Hey, aren’t you supposed to be the etiquette teacher? How could you drink someone else’s aphrodisiac without permission?

Frowning, I watched him gulp down the tea mixed with the aphrodisiac. He set the cup down with a loud clink, his hand starting to tremble.

Covering his mouth, his eyes widened as he made a strange sound.

“Hah…!”

Suddenly, Zoro shot up from his chair.

“Eek! Sir Zoro!”

“Hah, Lady Haniel!”

Overturning the table, Zoro lunged at me, panting heavily.

“Th-this is part of the lesson!”

Don’t lie! Your job is to teach etiquette, nothing more! I shoved at his chest, yelling for help.

With a loud crash, the door burst open, nearly breaking off its hinges.

“Lady Haniel!”

“Ah, Ardal.”

“We are in the middle of a lesson, Sir Ardal!”

Ardal stormed in, quickly helping me out from under Zoro’s grasp. His expression turned suspicious as he looked at Zoro.

“If this is a lesson, why is Lady Haniel so frightened?”

“Th-that…!”

Shielding me behind him, Ardal demanded answers from Zoro. Clutching the hem of Ardal’s robe, I softly spoke, “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have raised my voice, but I was startled…”

“You shouldn’t have raised your voice? What does that mean?”

Ardal, visibly angry, clenched his teeth as he questioned me.

“His Holiness dislikes it when I make noise during training… Sir Zoro also asked me to remain quiet during lessons. It’s my fault.”

The Pope, as a character, enjoyed teasing me during our intimate moments. While he claimed he disliked noise, he actually preferred it when I made sounds.

But what did the Pope’s preferences matter now? It was better to use this situation to gain Ardal’s sympathy. Seeming to sense something in my words, Ardal balled his fists and gritted his teeth.

“…Did His Holiness say that to you, Lady Haniel?”

Grasping the edge of my robe, I nodded subtly.

With a heavy sigh, Ardal turned to Zoro.

“Leave.”

“Sir Ardal, I am responsible for Lady Haniel’s etiquette lessons. I must remain here.”

“I will inform His Holiness directly. Leave. From now on, I am in charge of Lady Haniel’s etiquette lessons.”

Yes! He’s fallen for it!

Internally cheering, I blinked innocently as if unaware of the situation.

Zoro raised his voice, raised his voice, visibly flustered by being dismissed so suddenly. “What are you doing? This class is important, Sir Ardal!”

Zoro twisted his legs awkwardly as he shouted. I narrowed my eyes at him and clicked my tongue softly.

Sure, it’s important. If only he hadn’t drunk the aphrodisiac I left on the table, he would have completed the class and left without incident. Instead, he’s now struggling to control his swelling arousal.

Even in the face of Zoro’s protests, Ardal shook his head firmly.

Since our first meeting, Ardal always seemed to walk into situations ripe for misunderstanding. Just like the first time, he now dismissed the etiquette teacher to protect me, making me smile secretly behind his back.

It seemed Ardal’s capture method involved “protecting Haniel.” Typical of a knight—whether honorable or overly rigid, I couldn’t decide.

“I said I would handle the class. If you refuse to leave, I will… remove every finger you laid on Lady Haniel!”

Ardal, who had been growling his words, suddenly glanced at me and stopped mid-sentence.

“Ardal?” Tilting my head in confusion, I called his name.

He then continued in a calmer tone, “…I believe I’ve made myself clear enough.”

“I will report this to His Holiness! That you’ve taken over my class without authorization!”

“Do as you please.”

With a loud slam, Zoro stormed out, leaving the door swaying on its hinges. Ardal, his gaze still sharp, turned slowly toward me. His features softened slightly as he hesitated, unsure of what to say, before finally speaking.

“Lady Haniel, do you know how long the class is supposed to last?”

“Yes, I heard it is twenty hours.” Feigning innocence, I replied. Twenty hours was the time assigned when the lowest grade was achieved during tea preparation.

Hearing my response, Ardal sighed deeply.

“Twenty hours…”

***

Ardal clearly misunderstood the nature of the lessons. Of course, I had no intention of correcting his misconception. Now, he was gently moving his hand as I lay on the bed. His fingers were cautiously exploring me, specifically at the entrance to my core.

“Ah… hng…”

Every time his fingers delved into me, suppressed moans escaped my lips. Though I wanted to cry out loudly, I held back, knowing that doing so would cause him to lose interest.

Instead of moaning, I covered my mouth with both hands, biting down hard on my lips until they bled faintly. Tears welled in my eyes.

Seeing my tears, Ardal’s expression softened with pity.

“Lady Haniel, it’s okay to make noise.”

“B-but… Ardal… hng… His Holiness…”

“It’s fine. It’s fine in front of me, Lady Haniel.”

Gently removing my hands from my mouth, Ardal whispered tenderly. Using his fingers, he wiped the blood from my lips before leaning closer.

“Don’t bite your lips. If you must, bite my fingers instead.”

He pressed his lips to mine, slipping a finger into my mouth. The rough texture of his finger filled my mouth.

Ah… this feels good.

Knights really are my type. I resolved to capture the Imperial knight in this playthrough, too.

As I licked his finger with my tongue, Ardal’s stoic expression crumbled, his cheekbones tinged with red. Watching his icy demeanor melt away was thrilling.

I wanted to see Ardal lose even more control. Driven by that desire, I eagerly moved my tongue, swirling it around his finger. I recalled the techniques the pope had taught me for stimulating erogenous zones. Lazily opening my eyes, I met Ardal’s gaze.

As our eyes locked, Ardal exhaled deeply, pressing his finger down on my tongue to still it.

“Stay still, just for a moment.”

His deep, lust-filled voice echoed in my ears.

“I don’t want to hurt you, Lady Haniel,” he said, his voice strained.
