Chapter 100
“Are you really planning to do this?”
Rufus looked at Cedric with a grave expression.
Dark circles lay heavily under Rufus’s eyes from several days of sudden overtime work.
“Why, is there a problem?”
“Ugh!”
The moment he heard the word “problem,” Rufus shuddered as if having a fit.
“You don’t look good. Go out and get some rest.”
Rufus, who finally earned some time off, left Cedric’s room without even looking back.
Who was he to say someone else didn’t look well?
For the past few days, Cedric hadn’t been in good condition either.
It was like something about him was a little off.
Rufus felt a bit sorry for Sheila, but there was nothing he could do for her.
Anyway, even though the sun was still high in the sky, Rufus went to his room to rest.
To recover from the exhaustion of creating three hundred questions while staying up for three nights.
***
The next day, faced with a devastating result, Sheila stood there in a daze.
“Young Count…… but… this is….”
“What? What is it?”
“No matter what, this is a bit….”
It was finally the last day of the whipping maid contract.
To state the conclusion first, there was no usual lesson that day. Instead, Judith took tests in three subjects in the morning and three subjects in the afternoon, fifty questions per subject.
That made a total of three hundred questions, covering the language, math, history, geography, current affairs she’d been taught over the past three months, and even basic general knowledge.
Rufus, who normally prepared ten-question tests per subject at Cedric’s instruction, handled both setting the exam questions and supervising the tests.
While supervising, he also graded the tests Judith completed in the previous period.
When the exhausted Judith left the room crying, Cedric took the six test papers and graded the final one.
By the time Sheila was called in, all the grading was already finished.
The total number of wrong answers was 203.
Out of three hundred questions, she answered only ninety-seven correctly, not even reaching one-third.
In truth, it wasn’t even accurate to say she answered them all.
They were short-answer questions, but Judith didn’t have the concentration to get through fifty questions per subject, and any questions she failed to finish within the time limit were all marked wrong.
On top of that, in the final period she finally exploded, grew irritated, and cried, so she only got two or three right.
After informing her of the number of wrong answers, Cedric stood up from his seat and grabbed Sheila’s wrist.
“Go in.”
“W-wait a moment!”
Sheila pushed his hand away and leaned back.
With 203 wrong answers, that meant twenty hours. Even if they went in now, they wouldn’t come out until around this time tomorrow.
No matter how much she was the Young Count’s maid, if she stayed in that room for twenty hours, people would find it strange.
She herself was one thing, but she heard the Young Count already had someone decided for marriage.
And she had no way of enduring Cedric’s punishment for twenty hours.
Even two or three hours were hard enough to bear.
Cedric pressed her with his gaze as Sheila braced herself with her weight set back.
“I’ll die. If it’s twenty hours….”
“What…?”
Cedric looked dumbfounded, then burst out laughing.
“Ha. I don’t have that much time either, Sheila. Pay it back in two-hour installments,” Cedric said as he released her wrist.
Sheila straightened her posture and asked, “Yes? But today is the last session….”
“That’s why you need to take responsibility for what Judith got wrong today too, right?”
“Ah….”
So that’s how it worked?
It wasn’t exactly wrong, but wasn’t it a bit much to suddenly make her take a three-hundred-question exam?
Sheila glared at the infuriating man and cursed him viciously with her eyes.
“I can hear it.”
“Pardon?”
Sheila’s blue eyes widened into round circles.
“I can hear all the cursing you’re doing in your head.”
“N-no! I was just….”
“Enough. I already told Judith in advance. That I’d check in the last lesson this week whether she reviewed properly or not. We’ve been doing lessons for about three months now, so testing what she learned in that time is only natural.”
Faced with the Young Count’s always impeccable logic, Sheila was left speechless.
In truth, even if Cedric did something completely groundless and absurd, Sheila wasn’t really in a position to argue back.
This time, Cedric grabbed her hand instead of her wrist and led her forward.
The heat of the man’s hand where it touched hers felt not just warm, but almost stinging, nothing like the touch of a cold man. Like autumn sunlight at midday.
But Sheila endured again. Even though everything the Young Count said was right, she still felt wronged in a strange way.
Cedric looked at her with a gaze that asked what it was this time.
Seeing her eyes still full of grievance, no different from before, he let out a sigh and spoke again.
“I let you postpone the punishments you couldn’t receive during your monthly period before. This isn’t any different from that.”
Sheila couldn’t respond, nor could she bring herself to step willingly into the punishment room. Logically, everything he said was correct, but her heart refused to accept it.
In Sheila’s mind, today was supposed to be the end. The relationship binding the two of them by the whipping maid contract should’ve ended today.
When Sheila continued to hold her ground, his blue-gray eyes turned cold.
“Ah, I suppose there is one thing that changes. Starting tomorrow, there won’t be any whipping maid wages.”
Cedric sneered as if he finally understood. The moment money was mentioned, Sheila’s face turned white like paper.
At that sight, Cedric clenched his teeth hard, then spoke again.
“Taking responsibility for what she got wrong today is your duty. Or are you hoping for extra pay?”
“N-no! I, that’s not….”
Tears pooled in Sheila’s eyes before she realized it. She hurried to speak, but Cedric ignored her and continued, “Of course, if you want it, I can give it to you. Ten solids, twenty solids. If you ask, I’ll end up giving it to you anyway.”
At Cedric’s words, Sheila’s complexion wavered, turning pale. It sounded like the way one spoke to a mistress who kept demanding money. He looked like a nobleman who couldn’t do anything about a willful mistress.
“I, I just…!”
“Don’t cry.”
Cedric cut her off again. With her eyes already brimming with tears, Sheila pressed them shut and held them back hard.
“You don’t need to give me any more money. I’ll take full responsibility for however many Miss Judith got wrong today.”
When Cedric tugged on the hand he was still holding, Sheila obediently stepped forward.
For the first time, the two of them walked hand in hand, but their hearts were headed in completely different directions.
As the two of them disappeared into the punishment room, the heavy door slammed shut with a bang.
***
The man who climbed on top of her suddenly bit down on her sensitive neck.
“Ahh, ah…!”
She tried to endure it, but a moan escaped her open mouth on its own.
Every time she struggled, the ropes binding her limbs snapped taut with sharp sounds.
With her wrists and ankles tied to the four corners of the bed frame, Sheila had no choice but to feel every sensation he gave her.
The hot lips, the slick movement of his tongue licking and sucking at her neck, sent an obscene sensation through her. The sharp tip of his nose, connected to a straight, smooth bridge, brushed against her neck as it passed.
His lips, which lingered over her neck, gradually moved down and settled on her full breasts.
Each time he grabbed both her breasts and sucked at her nipples with wet sounds, Sheila writhed.
In fact, since the day the appointment ceremony ended, the foreplay increased noticeably. There were still no kisses, though.
After checking the entrance of her pussy, already slick with flowing fluids, with his long fingers, he gently pushed his cock inside.
“Ahh!”
The man who planted misery in Sheila’s heart before they entered this room now held her gently, almost as if consoling her.
Feeling that he was gentle while her limbs were bound meant she was definitely crazy herself. Even so, her body, already accustomed to him, faithfully absorbed the sensations he gave her and steadily built its arousal.
“Ah, ahh, ngh!”
Once the full piston-like thrusting began, violent moans burst from Sheila’s mouth.
Tears streamed endlessly from her eyes, clouded with pleasure.
The man, bracing himself against the bed with a solid forearm as he thrust, suddenly grabbed one of Sheila’s breasts hard.
“Ahh!”
The sharp pleasure made her spine jerk.
As always, she thought it would be fine if he slapped her breasts hard again and again.
That way, they could also shorten the time at the same time.
As soon as they entered this room, he said,
“I’ll hit you with my palm as much as I want. Of course, each strike will be deducted from the number Judith got wrong, so you don’t have any complaints, right?”
Sheila nodded silently.
“Like I said earlier, two hours at a time, three times a week. I’m not exactly free either.”
Yes, yes. Of course.
Sheila didn’t argue back at all.
Even if she went through all twenty hours, that would be ten sessions. At three times a week, it would be over in three or four weeks.
She decided to leave this place as soon as possible, but being tied here for one more month didn’t matter that much.
His engagement and marriage wouldn’t be settled within a month either.
So there was no real reason to demand more money, and no reason to feel especially wronged.
Thinking that, Sheila entrusted her body solely to the pleasure given to her as a bonus.
Cedric drove his cock in hard, watching the woman’s face twisted with pleasure.
He didn’t feel a shred of regret about giving the sudden test.
He needed an excuse to bind her longer without giving her money.
To do that, he deliberately provoked her pride. To stir the pride she normally didn’t show, he had to dig into her painfully.
The woman’s face drained white, her fragile eyes trembling faintly, stirred his sadism.
Something that would usually only feel pleasant didn’t feel that way today.
Even so, Cedric ground his teeth and achieved what he wanted.
Just to bind this one woman….
Cedric discovered her resignation letter a few days earlier, after giving her a massage.
