In the royal bathhouse of the palace, only Ran Mouri and Ai Haibara were present, comfortably soaking in the tub.
The bath was constructed entirely of white jade, a pure and solid white, filled with crystal-clear hot water.
The entire pool was as large as a swimming pool, with thick steam rising continuously as two small heads popped out of the water.
Ai closed her eyes contentedly and took a sip of the drink sitting by the edge.
"How decadent—heating an entire pool of water for a single bath and then draining it all. The people in this palace certainly know how to indulge!"
Ran giggled softly, "If Brother Yuu hadn't helped Queen Sakura and Mira put down the rebellion, we wouldn't be able to enjoy this kind of treatment."
Ai asked curiously, "By the way, where did Brother Hoshimiya run off to?"
"Him? I think he went to find the Queen. He said they had things to discuss and that he needed to say a final goodbye."
Ai's expression turned quite peculiar; although Yuu Hoshimiya hadn't explicitly mentioned wanting to contract the mother-daughter pair of Queen Sakura and Princess Mira, how could they not see through him?
However, since Ran didn't say anything, Ai naturally wasn't going to stick her nose in either.
At the same time, she understood why Yuu Hoshimiya wanted to transfer all his personnel and resources from Japan to the Kingdom of Vespania.
The new mineral was secondary; the key was that after contracting the Queen, the entire Kingdom of Vespania would essentially be under their control.
Just then, a sultry female voice rang out, and Fujiko Mine, having finished her immediate work, appeared in the bathroom wrapped in a towel.
She walked to the edge of the pool and whipped the towel off, instantly revealing her dominant, curvy, and top-heavy figure.
"I am absolutely exhausted. This is harder than globetrotting to steal money."
As she spoke, Fujiko Mine lifted a beautiful leg and rested it gently on the edge of the jade pool.
A leg as white as alabaster appeared against the jade, as her small hands slowly began to scrub her skin.
To Ran and Ai, the scene before them was one of peerless glamour.
Yuu Hoshimiya had left all the affairs in Vespania for Fujiko to handle.
Whether it was developing legitimate international trade or dealing secretly with various foreign powers, Fujiko was more than capable.
However, since they were just starting out with limited manpower, even with the assistance of Queen Sakura and Noah, she was still worn to the bone.
Yuu Hoshimiya had taken this into account and planned to send Chikage Kuroba and Yukiko, who also spent their lives flying around the world, to help her once he returned to Japan.
"Miss Fujiko, thank you for your hard work," Ran said politely and obediently.
Beside her, Ai curled her lips, looking as if she thought Fujiko deserved the exhaustion.
Fujiko's amnesia was ultimately determined to be caused by supernatural forces, but Ai had put in a lot of effort during the early testing phases.
During that time, she had also become quite familiar with Fujiko.
Knowing that this woman loved to exaggerate and deceive others with her words, Ai had been teased quite a bit.
Seeing Fujiko overworked now made her feel quite happy inside.
Fujiko was a smart woman and knew that Ran was the most special to Yuu Hoshimiya, so she didn't dare cause trouble or continue complaining.
Regarding Yuu Hoshimiya, she felt more than just gratitude; she felt a profound sense of awe.
The more she understood Yuu, the more amazed Fujiko became.
Things that were completely impossible for ordinary people were so simple in front of him, and his various industries and connections were simply godly.
The crucial point was that the time it took for Yuu to achieve all this was incredibly short!
When she called him "Boss," she did so willingly and with genuine sincerity.
Fujiko lightly turned the page on that thought, reached out, and pulled the fake loli into her proud, massive bosom.
Ai's head was instantly and deeply buried between the two mounds of soft flesh.
Knowing the effects of the APTX drug and having personally seen the fake loli change size at will, Fujiko had been extremely curious about Ai.
After the successful contract, once she learned about the secret experiments between Yuu and Ai, her curiosity was like a persistent kitten, constantly driving her to want to investigate further.
Fujiko Mine giggled, "Ai-chan, how about big sister helps you wash up?"
Ai immediately used both hands to brace against those dominant breasts, shouting in a panic, "Ran-neechan, save me! Or I'm going to suffocate!"
The cool and aloof fake loli was worst at dealing with thick-skinned, over-familiar types like Fujiko.
Seeing this, Ran quickly rose to the rescue, but Fujiko nimbly dodged, causing water to splash everywhere as a battle broke out in the pool, the surface filled with glimpses of spring beauty.
...
In the Queen's bedchamber, Queen Sakura's snow-white body was flushed red, looking like a piece of warm jade.
She stood before a tall, sturdy full-length mirror, hands gripping its edges, her face flushed and her eyes glazed as she stared at her own reflection, her mouth gasping for air.
The Queen in the mirror was beautiful beyond description.
Her legs were weak, her body trembling continuously, and her entire being radiated a staggering sense of beauty.
Her body looked as if it had been dredged from the depths of the water, her long hair damp and stuck to her forehead, while her slightly furrowed brows added a touch of vulnerability.
All the pores on her body were open, sweat seeping out, filling the bedchamber with a unique and intoxicating fragrance.
Queen Sakura felt her soul undergoing a continuous metamorphosis, like a butterfly emerging from a cocoon, flying upward into a mysterious and wonderful realm.
Behind her, Yuu Hoshimiya was thrusting with heavy, rapid strokes, the junction of their bodies making wet, squelching sounds that forced her to moan aloud.
Through the mirror, Yuu saw the mature beauty with long pink waves blushing furiously, her eyes fluttering between open and closed as she watched their reflection, looking incredibly adorable.
"Your Majesty, does it look good?"
Looking at Queen Sakura's face, which was about thirty percent similar to Eri Kisaki's, Yuu couldn't help but tease her.
"Mmm... Yuu-kun, stop talking," Queen Sakura replied in shameful whisper, her eyes shut tight.
Yuu chuckled, gripping her slender waist with both hands, plunging in and out with all his might.
The pink-haired mature woman in the mirror had her brows knit tight from his pounding, her heavy jade breasts swinging wildly under the influence of his violent movements.
Yuu's gaze traveled downward, clearly seeing his drenched "Little Yuu" bottoming out again and again into the Queen's tender depths...
This battle in the Queen's bedchamber lasted a full three hours, leaving the maids on duty outside the door flushed and weak-kneed just from listening.
If they weren't worried about the Queen taking offense, they probably would have proactively offered their own virginity, which they had guarded for twenty years, to Yuu.
Looking at the pink heart-shaped mark on Sakura's flat lower abdomen, Yuu also let out a long breath.
It went much more smoothly than he had anticipated; the Queen's deepest wishes were nothing more than the safety of her children, reclaiming her political power, and ensuring the livelihood of her citizens.
Yuu had already helped her achieve all of these in advance.
Thus, after spending three hours filling the lonely and empty Queen from her body to her soul, the contract was successfully completed.
Yuu pulled on his clothes and called the maids outside to come in and clean up the disheveled bedchamber, while he had to hurry to the next round.
He was returning to Japan tomorrow, or the day after at the latest.
If he didn't hurry up and contract Mira as well, the Princess would surely insist on following him back to Japan.
That simply wouldn't do.
Yuu needed Mira to stay with Queen Sakura and learn how to handle various affairs, laying the foundation for becoming the next Queen and for future mother-daughter cooperation against him in bed.
As for Prince Gill... under the combined request of his mother and sister, he would likely be quite happy to renounce his succession rights and live as a carefree, wealthy socialite, traveling the world with Count Keith.
If he couldn't see the logic in that, Yuu didn't mind using mental magic to help him understand.
Mental magic couldn't be used as a means to achieve a contract, but there were no such restrictions when dealing with ordinary people in other matters.
...
Back in the jade bath, the battle finally ended with Fujiko Mine's defeat.
Her combat skills were decent, but she was no match for Ran, whose physique was practically a cheat code; her right hand was pinned behind her back and her shoulder gripped, leaving her looking thoroughly captured.
The scene was incredibly erotic: two dominant bodies pressed tightly together in the water, with a cute little loli standing nearby.
Fujiko Mine gasped, "Ran-chan, your Karate is actually this powerful!"
Ran reprimanded her, "Miss Fujiko, Ai already said she doesn't like you touching her. I hope you'll keep your distance from her in the future!"
The development of the APTX drug was the key to Yuu's plan to change the world, and Ai was the key to that research.
Compared to the newly joined Fujiko, Ran naturally favored Ai, whom she had known longer, shared a great relationship with, and who was also exceptionally valued by Yuu.
Having been caught, Fujiko Mine naturally played along and surrendered, "OK! OK!"
Ran then released Fujiko's right hand and led Ai out of the jade pool toward the changing room.
In the pool, Fujiko stretched her arms, looking thoughtful, "To be so highly valued by the Boss, Ran-chan certainly has something special about her too."
...
Yuu naturally didn't know about the erotic battle that had taken place in the bathhouse; even if he did, he wouldn't have cared.
That kind of playfulness was purely for bonding; with the contract marks in place, there was no need to worry about any actual infighting.
Yuu briefly cleaned the traces and scent from his body, changed into a set of gold silk pajamas provided by the royalty, and arrived before Mira's princess bedroom.
The Kingdom of Vespania had been unstable recently. Although things had reached a preliminary state of stability, to be safe, tonight's banquet hadn't dragged on too late.
After Yuu spent three hours contracting Queen Sakura, it was only 11:00 PM.
Seeing him visit so late at night, the twin maids serving Princess Mira were somewhat surprised.
They knew Yuu and Mira were in love and that the Queen intended to facilitate the match, but as maids, they didn't dare let someone in privately at this hour.
After the twin maids offered a bow, one of them said, "Mr. Hoshimiya, please allow me to inform the Princess."
A moment later, she came jogging back out and said hurriedly, "Mr. Hoshimiya, please come in!"
After speaking, the twin maids exchanged a glance, their faces flushing as they added in a whisper, "Her Highness is inexperienced; please be gentle, Mr. Hoshimiya."
A strange smile played on Yuu's face, unsure whether to praise them for being clever or to conclude that the purpose of his late-night tryst with Mira was simply too obvious.
Yuu shook his head and stopped overthinking, stepping quickly into the princess's bedchamber.
Outside, the twin maids tactfully helped close the door, then continued their watch while quietly eavesdropping.
The bedchamber was exceptionally noble and elegant, magnificent and resplendent, with exquisite lamps casting a soft glow.
The windows and curtains were all drawn tight, and the residual heat from the fireplace made the entire room incredibly warm, while an incense burner emitted a unique fragrance.
In the center was a princess bed with white gauze curtains drawn, where a figure could be seen lying within, her heartbeat sounding very erratic.
Yuu saw a path made of rose petals laid out across the exquisite carpet. He took off his shoes and stepped onto the floral path with bare feet, walking toward the bed.
The closer he got, the more the woman's heartbeat on the bed accelerated.
Yuu pulled back the white gauze curtain and saw an angel.
On Mira's golden duvet, rose petals were also arranged into the shape of a heart.
However, she herself was so shy that she had resorted to a "head in the sand" tactic, pretending to be asleep.
Snow White needed to be kissed awake by her Prince Charming, and Princess Mira was likely no exception.
Yuu leaned down and gently kissed Mira's pink lips. They were like jelly, absolutely wonderful.
As expected, Princess Mira opened her eyes.
The two locked eyes, the affection and heat within needing no words.
If even the twin maids could guess what was happening, the participants themselves, Mira and Yuu, were even more aware.
"Your Highness, I've kept you waiting."
Yuu gently stroked Mira's hair, then chuckled as he scooped up the red rose petals and let them fall gently over her, the fragrance filling the air!
Mira nervously averted her gaze, "Who... who's waiting for you!"
Mira didn't know about Queen Sakura's situation yet, and Yuu didn't want to make things harder for himself.
Anyway, Mira already knew about Ran and her mother, Sonoko and her mother, and the others, so her level of tolerance was high to begin with. Once the deed was done—especially after the contract—she would likely find it even easier to accept.
Mira knew Yuu was about to return to Japan and had prepared herself to follow him.
However, she still harbored a hope that Yuu would come to her, completing this once-in-a-lifetime sacred night in her own princess bedchamber.
But after waiting half the night, almost reaching the point of being unable to stay awake, Yuu still hadn't come. She was about to give up and wait until they reached Japan to take the final step.
She hadn't expected the maid to suddenly announce Yuu's arrival.
The joy of reclaiming what was thought lost is harder to control than the fulfillment of a simple wish. Mira didn't need any foreplay right now; her heart was already pounding, and she was "flooded" with emotion.
But the shyness of a young girl and her tsundere nature made it impossible for her to be direct with him.
Tsunderes are so out of fashion now!
Yuu complained in his mind and asked intentionally, "Then what's the deal with these petals on the bed? They're even in the shape of a heart!"
Princess Mira's face turned bright red as she whispered with her head down, her voice carrying a hint of girlish innocence.
"I'm a princess. Isn't it normal for there to be petals on the bed when I sleep?"
Yuu leaned over and kissed Mira's cheek.
He kissed her left cheek and then her right, before laughing, "How can you be this cute?"
Although the tsundere trope was out of style, this kind of contrast was indeed quite charming.
A watery shimmer appeared in Mira's eyes, looking like the most beautiful of lakes, instantly captivating Yuu's mind.
Under the soft light, the two gazed at each other affectionately, their souls gradually merging.
No more words were needed. Yuu looked at the princess before him and gently kissed her slightly trembling pink lips.
Yuu's heart also trembled, and his heartbeat accelerated. The kiss continued until both their cheeks were flushed and their heads were spinning.
Mira wrapped her slender arms around Yuu's neck, their faces pressed against each other as they panted heavily.
Feeling the girl's soft body and smelling her natural fragrance, Yuu rose and pulled her hands away, whipping the golden duvet aside.
The fragrance intensified as the heart-shaped rose petals flew up within the gauze curtains like vivid butterflies, drawing a graceful curve before scattering across the warm bed, with several petals landing on the girl's body.
Princess Mira was wearing an elegant golden slip nightgown, looking pure and beautiful.
As Yuu looked at Mira's body, his eyes gradually became entranced.
She was like a gift from the Creator, an angel fallen from the heavens, or an elf who had wandered into the human world—beautiful beyond words, soul-stirring and captivating.
Her figure was graceful, and every curve was enough to make Yuu's gaze linger and drive him mad with desire.
The bright red rose petals on her body added an extra layer of romantic atmosphere to the air.
Under the soft, warm light, the girl's watery eyes were filled with love as she gazed at Yuu.
Her eyes held shyness, determination, and affection, but not a single trace of retreat.
When Yuu's large hand gently stroked the girl's fragrant shoulder, she couldn't help but shiver.
The blush on her face was like the most beautiful sunset, gradually spreading to her snow-white neck and her cute little ears, her face radiating heat in an adorable display.
A warm smile appeared on Yuu's handsome face as his large hand stroked her shoulder, seemingly trying to calm the tension in her heart.
He swallowed hard and leaned forward until his nose touched Mira's. Their faces were extremely close as they looked at each other.
Overcome with emotion, Mira reached out to pull Yuu's head toward her and kissed him.
Like a spark hitting dry tinder, Yuu instantly became aggressive, no longer able to restrain himself as his hot, large hands began to roam continuously over the girl's graceful body.
The temperature in the room climbed steadily, the air thick with fiery passion.
...
In the princess's bedchamber of the Vespania Palace, beneath the white gauze curtains, Yuu Hoshimiya found it impossible to look away.
Mira gazed at Yuu with a face full of flushed shame, biting her lower lip.
Finally, she spoke, her voice delicate and carrying a young girl's shyness, "In fairy tales, the princess stays with the prince! So... are you willing to be my prince?"
"Of course. I am!"
