City of Witches

Chapter 480: Housewarming (6)

0% 1.

Amelia trudged through the hallway with a gloomy expression.

After losing her verbal duel with Sharon, she instead felt a surge of fighting spirit.

When she heard (or at least, thought she heard) Siwoo saying, ‘Big boobs are the best,’ her fighting spirit turned into reckless bravado, giving her enough motivation to do something daring, something that the usual her would never do.

She dragged him into a secluded hallway, away from prying eyes, and knelt before him.

Without hesitation, she tried to do the thing that Sharon mentioned.

The act of rubbing a man’s penis with her breasts—a woman’s symbol of femininity.

Surprised by her sudden move, Siwoo let out an awkward smile, but went along with it.

For her to ‘serve’ him out in the open like this, where anyone could see, was a surprisingly thrilling sensation, and it gave him this immoral feeling.

It was obvious that he liked it a lot.

After all, his dick was twitching enthusiastically.

And yet, no matter how hard Amelia tried, she just couldn’t wrap her breasts around his dick.

She clumsily pushed her breasts together, trying to make it work, but the result betrayed her effort.

It wasn’t like she had small breasts.

If anything, they were perfectly proportioned for a witch her size; plump enough to fill a hand, and beautifully shaped like teardrops.

Unfortunately for her though, to provide an ideal breastjob, she needed them to be at least as large as Eloa’s, and even larger if she wanted to handle him while he was hard.

She put in valiant effort, but each time she did, his cock just slipped out of her cleavage and smacked her chin again and again.

In the end, though she was frustrated to the point that she teared up, she gave up and left before she could even make him cum.

She didn’t even say goodbye properly to Siwoo.

First, her crushing loss to Sharon in their argument.

Then, her failed attempt to overcome her embarrassment by doing something so reckless.

And lastly, the guilt of being unable to satisfy Siwoo’s desires in the end.

These three back-to-back failures shattered Amelia’s confidence.

But no matter how much it hurt, there were still things she had to do.

She still hadn’t met Siwoo’s other lovers, the twins.

When she asked a passing maid, she had been told that the twins were in class with Sharon, but due to her poor sense of direction, she had gotten lost and failed to arrive on time.

“Right...”

At that moment, she remembered something.

Back when she and Siwoo weren’t close, she had this belief that he disliked all witches indiscriminately.

But, even then the twins maintained a close relationship with him. Also, when she once spied on them, she caught a glance of the three of them being naked together; that was when she was half-convinced of their relationship.

Of course, back then she never expected that those three’s relationship would develop into a romantic relationship.

Even hearing it directly from Siwoo, she could hardly believe it.

Men shouldn’t approach apprentice witches, that was what common sense dictated.

No matter how many times he had saved the twins’ lives, it was still unthinkable for Amelia that they even allowed him to have a ‘physical relationship’ with them.

Not only that, Countess Gemini was even fully aware of it.

Amelia couldn’t make sense of their thought process.

“...”

Regardless, she could find out about the details through a proper conversation. Besides, she also wanted to ask them something and also apologized to them—just like what she had done with Sharon—hence why she decided to meet them.

The twins, once her students, were now her rivals in love.

While lost in her bittersweet thoughts, Amelia soon spotted them.

They were walking down the hallway with a few maids, floating baskets that were filled with dolls using magic, staying close to one another, just like always.

2.

The twins weren’t carrying those doll-filled baskets because they wanted to play with them.

Actually, it had been quite a while since they had played with dolls at all.

Countess Gemini might still treat them like little kids, but they were proper women, they were old enough to enjoy adult’s fun.

So then, why were they carrying that many dolls?

A little explanation was needed.

Every New Year, the Gemini Household held a small charity event for the citizens.

They handed out baskets packed with food and visited houses with sick family members to help with cleaning up and provide medical aid.

Not only that, they also gave the children various toys and flowers, even setting up a small outdoor theater so that those children could watch various performances.

The citizens of Gehenna were loyal and diligent servants devoted to the witches.

So, their acts of philanthropy and charity were perfectly aligned with their ideals of noblesse oblige.

Anyway, having prepared dolls for tomorrow’s event, Odile and Odette strolled down the quiet hallway, chatting proudly with their maids.

“Pecha, there seem to be so many dolls this year.”

“Last year, Ms. Odile’s dear fiancé was ill. So, since we couldn’t hold the charity event, we doubled our effort for this year.”

“Hmm~ What a sweet thing to say. Your flattery skills have really improved, haven’t they, Pecha?”

“Flattery? Ms. Odile becoming Mr. Shin Siwoo’s lawful wife is as clear as day, beyond debate, absolutely certain.”

“Hmm~ Do you think so too, Lena?”

“Of course, of course.”

Odile’s lips twitched in satisfaction, while Lena and Pecha giggled beside her.

For Pecha and Lena—Odile’s personal maids—the best part of their grueling work was sharing these cheerful moments with her.

The same went for Masha and Vera, who surrounded Odette.

“Masha, Vera, I’ve prepared gifts for you this year too. Look forward to them, alright?”

“Oh my! We’ll look forward to it, Miss!”

“This year too? What kind of gifts are they?”

“Huh? Well, it’s supposed to be a secret...”

“Dear kind and generous Ms. Odette, can’t you tell us about it a little? We’re gonna find it out sooner or later anyway, no?”

“Hmm, if you insist... Masha, I got you a beautiful brooch, and Vera, a silver tea set.”

“W-Wait... C-Could the brooch be from the Felix Craft Workshop?”

“Yes.”

“Kyaaaah! Ms. Odette! I tried saving up for that brooch but gave up halfway!”

“Well, I noticed you staring at it during our walk the other day...”

“Ms. Odette, I love you!”

“T-This Vera is the happiest maid in the world! I’m so lucky to serve Ms. Odette! I’m going to brew the finest tea for my family with it!”

“I-I can’t breathe...”

Odette’s face turned pale as her maids clung to her from both sides, squeezing her tightly.

But, the maids suddenly went silent, even though just a second ago, they were buzzing like a group of excited canaries.

It was because they spotted a blonde witch who clearly looked like a guest with a high status.

They quickly bowed their heads, while Odile and Odette were staring at the blonde witch with a more surprised expression than their maids.

It was an unexpected encounter.

They had been forming an Emergency Response Committee (even though the members were only the two of them) to come up with countermeasures against Amelia, but it turned out that the associate professor approached them herself.

Odile and Odette clasped their hands tightly.

No matter how intimidating the situation was, them joining their hands like this—filling each other with sisterly love—gave them enough courage to go on.

“It’s been a while.”

“Hello, Associate Professor Amelia.”

“It’s been a while, Associate Professor Amelia.”

Though often unruly and mischievous, the twins were well-versed in noble etiquette.

They offered a perfectly graceful greeting with a bright smile.

“May I have a word with you two?”

“Of course. Pecha, Lena, Masha, Vera.”

“Please finish moving the dolls. We’ll join you soon.”

“Yes, Ms. Odile, Ms. Odette.”

The maids bowed politely, carried the baskets with them with difficulties as the three headed towards a nearby drawing room.

3.

A drawing room with an air of timeless elegance.

Located in a secluded corner of the mansion, it was a room that barely had the chance to entertain any guest over the years.

Even so, thanks to the mansion’s always-operating anti-dust magic, temperature-humidity maintenance magic, and preservation magic, it was without a speck of dust.

Blackout curtains made the room dark with the only source of light coming from the flickering candles on the candlesticks. Inside, the twins were sitting, interlocking their fingers.

Truth be told, the twins found Amelia intimidating.

Though they had studied Elemental Magic under her for three years, they didn’t feel close to her at all.

Back when she was teaching them, she’d only lecture them, assign them homework, and leave the classroom without any further interaction with them.

On top of that, they still felt guilty for giving her the ‘Eros Potion’ before finding out about its effect, which eventually caused a shift in her relationship with Siwoo.

‘Awkward’ was perhaps the best way to describe their relationship with her.

Still, the past was the past, and the present was what mattered.

Right now, Amelia was another opponent of theirs who was trying to steal their dear Mr. Assistant away.

No matter how fearsome Professor Amelia was, the twins weren’t about to give him up so easily.

Besides, Amelia had once taken away their affectionate, playful version of Siwoo.

In their eyes, that action of hers settled all their past debts.

Years of observing her closely made them form extreme assumptions about Amelia.

She was cold and composed, a strict professor through and through.

Of course, they didn’t know much about her as a person, but it didn’t take a genius to figure out that someone as disciplined and stern as her would ever tolerate an open relationship. After all, she wasn’t their easygoing Sharon unnie or the benevolent Duchess Tiphereth.

The twins exchanged a glance and nodded, reigniting their resolve.

“How have you been?”

“We heard you ventured out into the Modern World.”

“I did. Have you two been well?”

First, they exchanged such common greetings.

The twins used their cheerful and chirpy voices from the start, like a pair of lively birds.

This was their subtle way of asserting that they didn’t feel intimidated and, at the same time, a ritual to boost their spirit.

“Yes, we’ve been well. Especially with Mr. Assistant by our side.”

“That’s right! We’ve been spending so much time together lately.”

As they tried to emphasize their bond with Siwoo subtly, they noticed Amelia furrowing her brows slightly.

That made shivers run down their spines, but they held their ground.

Showing weakness here would only lead to them losing ground entirely.

“I know. I heard you’re both his lovers now.”

After showing a complicated expression for a while, as if she had a lot to say, Amelia finally spoke.

And the moment she did, the twins became certain of her intentions.

Amelia had come here to declare her intent to monopolize Siwoo.

In response, the twins reacted firmly and sharply.

“Yes, we’re so close that we can’t live without each other! If we aren’t there by his side, Mr. Assistant will drown in his lovesickness and die!”

“That’s right! We whisper sweet words of love to each other every single day!”

Of course, unlike what they believed, Amelia didn’t come here to make such a declaration, or to take Siwoo from them.

Like Sharon, the twins were Siwoo’s lovers, and had stood by him all this time. It was only right for Amelia, as the newcomer, to apologize to them and seek their understanding.

However, the twins reaction was, no matter how one looked at it, a rejection.

They made it clear that they would absolutely not acknowledge Amelia as Siwoo’s lover.

The usually cute and bubbly twins’ stubborn responses were a harsh blow to Amelia, whose spirit had already been weakened by her previous defeat and frustration.

Their hisses didn’t help her case at all.

Confronted with the animosity that permeated the silence, Amelia pulled herself back from her wavering resolve.

No matter what kind of hardship she faced, she resolved herself to stay by Siwoo’s side.

Which meant, she couldn’t give up over something like this.

She needed to apologize and seek their acceptance, no matter what.

“I’m sorry.”

And so, she began everything with a heartfelt apology.
