Knights of The Dauntless Princess

Chapter 29: Tell Me

Amara could only close her eyes as Dravis moved closer, his lips claiming hers. It seemed as if Amara's lips had a mind of their own as their lips collided, letting his tongue enter her mouth. That night was heated by their passionate kissing, fueled by emotions they couldn't quite explain.

Amara no longer cared about her exposed body. Dravis pulled her closer, pressing her slender, warm figure against his own. Amara's round and soft bosom pressed against him, intensifying his arousal.

Amara broke the kiss briefly, gasping for breath. Dravis looked at her for a moment and gave her a subtle smile before brushing her hair back and tucking it behind her ear.

"The night is as beautiful as you are, princess," praised Dravis before gently kissing Amara's neck.

Amara moaned. Unlike the disgust she felt when Leonard did such things to her, Dravis sent tiny electric shocks tingling her body. She looked up, lost in that sensation, and let out a soft moan again. Dravis's tongue traced her neck, intensifying the burning passion within Amara that seemed to drive her crazy.

"Dravis..." Amara uttered, gripping the young man's arm tightly.

"Tell me, did he touch you here?" Dravis asked, planting gentle kisses on Amara's neck.

Amara remained silent, trembling at Dravis's question. Her body's response was enough to answer the question, so Dravis continued kissing and licking Amara's neck.

"Mmm... ahh..."

"How about here? Did he touch you here?" Dravis asked again, cupping Amara's bulging breasts in his hands.

Amara remained silent and sighed in response to Dravis' question. Her reaction gave Dravis a signal, and as a result, he gently lowered his lips, bestowing tender kisses on Amara's ample bosom.

"Ahh... D-Dravis..." Amara softly uttered.

"Why?" the man plainly asked while continuing to play with his tongue on the young lady's n****e.

"H-He only touched my breasts with his hands. H-he didn't do that," Amara shyly confessed.

Dravis grinned as he glanced up, "Why? Don't you like it this way?"

"E-Eh?" Amara gasped, her eyes closing again as Dravis suddenly sucked on her breast.

"Ahhh..."

"It seems like you like it, so I'll keep going," Dravis grinned and did just that.

Dravis laid Amara on a large rock surrounding the spring and resumed kissing her lips while massaging her breasts. After a while, Dravis briefly paused his kissing and admired Amara's beauty once again. The young man couldn't help but appreciate Amara's alluring figure, and the lady felt embarrassed under his intense and captivating gaze.

"W-Why are you looking at me like that?" Amara pretended to be annoyed, but the truth, her face was blushing red with embarrassment.

Dravis looked at her thoughtfully, gazing deeply into her eyes, and suddenly, he wrapped the princess around his arms tightly.

"D-Dravis?" Amara mumbled in surprise.

"You're infuriating," Dravis said, his voice trembling as if suppressing something. Amara felt a tinge of sadness because she knew deep down that Dravis was really angry with her.

"I-I'm sorry—"

"I can't accept your apology. What if something worse had happened to you? What if we didn't arrive on time? What if they killed you?" Dravis asked, tightening his embrace around Amara even more.

Amara teared up because she felt the genuine concern the young man had for her. Despite his constant grumpiness, she didn't realize that he cared so much about her. Amara smiled and hugged Dravis tightly in return.

"Nothing happened to me. You arrived just in time and saved me again," Amara said with a smile. "B-But yeah, I was so afraid that time. I... I was losing hope, but I thought... I thought you'd come to rescue me! I knew you would come! I remembered what you had told me, not to give up and to wait for you, and that's exactly what happened. Thank you! Thank you, Dravis!"

Dravis seemed surprised to learn that Amara had been thinking about him. That his words became her strength at that time. As Amara said that, it seemed to calm him in an instant.

"Even so," Dravis said, squeezing Amara's cheek playfully.

"Ouch!"

"That's what you deserve for being so stubborn," Dravis teased, continuing to pinch her face.

"That's enough! It hurts, Dravis! Aw!" Amara pleaded.

Dravis chuckled softly as he playfully teased her.

"You bastard—" Amara was about to say something more, but Dravis leaned in and kissed her again. Her eyes widened in shock, expecting the guy to do that again.

Dravis pulled himself away again and looked at Amara with his peering eyes.

"Tell me, did he touch you here?" Dravis asked, surprising Amara as his hand ventured to her intimate area between her thighs.

Amara stared intensely at Dravis, and even though she couldn't see what he was doing beneath the water, she could feel his touch on her most sensitive part. Her face flushed even more, and her knees trembled. Compared to what Dravis did to her earlier with her breasts, this sensation felt more arousing, as though she was about to experience an overwhelming pleasure.

"D-Dravis... ahhh..." Amara gasped, holding onto his arms tightly.

"What? Tell me, honestly. Did he... do this to you?" Dravis asked again, teasing her with his two fingers on her pearl-like part.

"Nhhh... N-No! He didn't touch me there, umm..." Amara replied, trembling and feeling weak from Dravis's actions.

Dravis grinned mischievously and pressed Amara against the rocks once again. He kissed her lips passionately as he continued to explore her intimate area. Amara moaned and clung tightly to Dravis's neck, unable to contain herself.

****

Everything between Dravis and Amara felt like a dream to the princess the following day. She couldn't believe that they had shared such intimate moments and couldn't stop herself from smiling as she thought of their warm bodies colliding. She tapped and touched her face to prevent herself from smiling and blushing, but it wasn't easy to hide her emotions.

"What's happening to you? Are you still feeling unwell?" Nina asked when she noticed Amara's actions.

"H-Huh? N-No, I'm fine," Amara replied, trying to suppress her smile and the blush on her face. "Maybe it's just the wine I had last night."

Nina smiled and nodded, "Last night was fun, right? Did you enjoy it?"

In response to Nina's question, a different scene replayed in Amara's mind—the events with Dravis from the previous night. Her face reddened, and she quickly averted her gaze. "Y-Yes, I had a great time."

Cyrus, Ranz, and Dravis, along with the other members of their group, approached them. They seemed ready to leave for their mission.

"My beloved princess!" Cyrus greeted Amara cheerfully, as usual.

Amara smiled and waved at him, but her eyes involuntarily shifted to the man who often occupied her thoughts, Dravis. When her eyes met the handsome man, she quickly looked away upon realizing that he was already staring at her expressionlessly. Her heart started to beat rapidly, and she tried to calm herself down.

Sh*t! Why do I feel this way again!? She thought to herself.

"Where are you going?" Nina asked.

"We're just going to observe—" Ranz began to explain, but Nina interrupted him as she continued the question.

"Cyrus?" Nina immediately turned to Cyrus, seemingly ignoring Ranz's presence.

Startled, Cyrus looked at Nina, "Huh? We're going to Luciana. Someone informed us that there might be information about another person we're looking for."

"Luciana? Isn't that on the way to Bronwen?" Nina nodded. "So, you'll be staying late, or maybe until early morning, right?"

Ranz felt a twinge of irritation at being disregarded by Nina. It wasn't just because he was the leader of their group but also because he was used to Nina's attention being focused solely on him. But now, even with a quick glance, she didn't mind throwing it at him.

He took a deep breath to calm his mind and then grinned. He thought he wouldn't be intimidated by Nina's actions, so he approached Amara. He gently took her hand and kissed it in front of Nina.

"We'll be leaving, for now, princess. Take care, and don't make me worry about you again, okay?" Ranz said, gazing at Amara.

"H-Huh? Yes, of course. Don't worry about us," Amara replied, smiling at Ranz.

Cyrus and Dravis glared at Ranz in irritation, but Ranz only grinned at them, seeming to mock them before turning away.

"Let's deal with this bastard first," Cyrus said, his expression showing a sense of defeat.

"Grab him, and I'll chop off his head!" Dravis chimed in, his eyes darkening with anger at Ranz.

"You guys are saying a lot," Ranz chuckled and started walking away. "Let's go before it gets too late!"

"i***t!" Cyrus and Dravis cursed simultaneously.

They followed Ranz, but Dravis paused briefly.

"Lady Amara," Dravis said, surprising Amara when their eyes met again.

"H-Huh? W-Why?" Amara stuttered.

Dravis placed his palm on her head and gave her a gentle smile. "We'll be back soon."

Time seemed to stand still for Amara. She knew what Dravis truly meant—he wanted her to wait for his return. She smiled back at him, her eyes shining brightly, and nodded.

"Take care, Dravis," she replied.

Dravis turned away, joining Ranz. Left standing there were Nina and Amara. As Nina watched the direction the brave men had taken, her heart ached. She turned her gaze back to Amara, and though she didn't want to feel any resentment towards the innocent princess, she couldn't help it.

"Nina?" Amara spoke as Nina suddenly turned away, about to leave her behind. "Where are you going? Aren't we supposed to go to the kitchen?"

Nina paused, tightly clenching her fists as if holding herself back. "Ah, y-you go ahead. I'm not feeling well," Nina lied, but the truth was that she wanted to distance herself from Amara because she knew her feelings of anger towards her friend were unjustified. "I'll just follow later."

"Is that so? Do you want some medicine? I can get it for you—"

"I don't need it!!!" Nina shouted, startling Amara.

"N-Nina?"

Nina firmly pressed her trembling lips together. Her chest tightened, and her mind was in turmoil. She hadn't meant to react that way, but it seemed like her bottled-up anger was trying to break free.

"I-I just need some rest," Nina said, not even looking back at Amara. "I'm sorry."
