Even the strongest dragon cannot fly without two wings. Felix didn't deny it.

"A double agent. Hmm..."

Diana had an advantage that the other spies did not. Felix didn't hide the fact that Diana was by his side, so Eisen must have known on some level. For both Felix and Eisen, Diana was someone important to hold onto.

Besides, he was curious.

What Diana could do for him, how far she was willing to go, and how blind her loyalty could be.

"It wouldn't hurt to test Diana."

Felix thought of the sketches he'd left unfinished over the past few days. It would be perfect timing if he sent Diana away now and finished the sketch by the time she returned.

Felix nodded, and Hugo's face brightened considerably.

"Master, what did you just say...?"

Diana, who had been lying on Felix's chest, looked up in surprise. Her gaze, trembling with confusion, lingered somewhere on the bridge of his nose.

"Did you just tell me to go to Prince Eisen?"

"Yes. You have a routine report to make in two days."

"How did you know...?"

Diana bit her lip, unable to finish her sentence. She didn't need to ask, knowing he'd already vetted her thoroughly.

During her stay at the hunting lodge, Diana had lost all sense of the passage of time. She tried to count the days, but gave up after five days. It was hard to tell because she didn't have a special watch to keep track of time.

Unfortunately, she hadn't brought her watch with her.

Aside from falling asleep deeply and waking up disoriented, Diana did nothing while she was awake except endure the constant attention of the man next to her.

The man who had been half absorbed in painting had changed completely overnight: he now spent most of the day holding a brush, the rest of the time holding a knife or a whip, or indulging in her. Just a few minutes ago, Diana was on top of him, climaxing several times.

His semen, overflowing from her depths and dripping into her outer folds, was still wet and sticky. But even now, against her navel, his manhood was already hardening again.

Trying to pull away from his hard cock, Diana asked, "You're not serious, are you?"

"Do I strike you as someone who would lie to you?"

Felix tugged at one corner of the blanket and wiped the dampness between her legs. No matter how hard he wiped, her thighs were stained with the marks of their union. Annoyed, he threw the soiled blanket to the floor and slipped his fingers inside her. Startled by the sudden intrusion, Diana clenched and shuddered.

Her body, still sensitive to the lingering sensations, reacted strongly to the slightest stimulus. Every cell in her body was on edge, and it was almost unbearable.

Still, she had to speak.

"Why all of a sudden... I made a choice, I'm yours... Why now? Ah!"

Suddenly, he wanted her to go back to Prince Eisen... What should she say to him?

Instead of answering, Felix spread her entrance with three fingers. Diana held her breath and exhaled slowly. Now that she'd had his big cock for so long, getting three fingers in was no longer a challenge.

"You've become so debauched in a matter of days. I suppose it's impossible to go back to normal."

Felix teased her, crooking his finger. There was mockery in his tone as the semen that leaked out of her pooled in his palm. As it spilled out of the opening, he grabbed her hips and pulled her toward him.

But Diana resisted, clenching her thighs tightly against him.

"Master, please tell me why. Or at least tell me what to say to the prince..."

"Drop the honorifics. I am the only one you should speak to with respect."

His grip suddenly tightened, and Diana's body leaned forward. Reflexively, she threw her arms around Felix's neck, her lips quivering as she tried to speak.

"His Highness already knows that I have betrayed him. He has many spies planted in the palace-ah!"

Felix pointed at her entrance and thrust inside. Feeling pushed to her limits, Diana took a deep breath, and flashes of light flashed in her darkened vision.

Diana stammered. "Prince... Eisen... He won't be fooled..."

"Then you must fool him all the more convincingly. The whole point of being a spy is to fool the most gullible. Now, move."

His tone was menacing at the end. From today's experience, Diana knew that it was easier for her to move than for him to direct her. She placed a hand on his chest and braced herself, trying to steady her lower body.

But no matter how much she endured the sensation of being spread open, she couldn't get used to it; the sheer size, thickness, and even length of him overwhelmed her every time. Thinking she couldn't take it anymore, she tried to straighten her knees, but Felix yanked her thighs apart and pulled her back to him, his hard cock sinking deep inside her in a single motion.

"Aah!"

"Empty words of loyalty are useless, Diana."

Their bodies merged, and there was no space between them. Implanted, Diana shuddered and rested her forehead against his shoulder. As he filled her completely, she felt an overwhelming sense of satisfaction along with the throbbing pain.

To be satisfied with something so horrible... she must be enchanted, or else...

"Ah... ah...!"

Felix thrusted upward. Diana's body bounced in time with his movements, each thrust reaching places he shouldn't have been able to reach. Her lips parted, moans spilling out uncontrollably. She couldn't hold it in any longer.

"Master... Slowly... Aah!"

All Diana could hold on to was this man who was mercilessly tormenting her lower half. She could barely remember what Felix had said about false loyalty being of no use; he seemed determined to use her as a spy-no, a double agent.

"So... what do I have to extract from the prince?"

Diana's voice trembled, intermittently breaking off. The nerves in her body screamed as they could take no more. Pleasure that had been pooling in shameful places she dared not name-armpits, nipples, navel, clitoris, the deep groove between her buttocks-threatened to burst forth.

"Find out the day he comes to kill me."

"What?"

Diana's eyes widened in shock. She leaned forward, pressing herself against the hot chest she was leaning against. The day Prince Eisen would come to kill him...to kill him.

"So blind and deafen him until the day I cut his throat."

Prince Eisen's cruel voice echoed in her ears. His chilling words echoed with the secret discussions that followed: plans to launch the operation in earnest at the Emperor's birthday banquet. The power struggle between the crown prince and the prince was about to escalate.

"Conceal all information that is unfavorable to me, and bring only what benefits me, no matter how trivial."

"What if... what if I go to the prince and don't return?"

"Even if you are lucky enough to survive, I will slit your throat myself."

Prince Eisen's threat echoed in her head, as vivid as the day he'd warned her. His voice echoed again, warning her not to think he had no informants in the palace, his tone laced with suspicion that she might have sided with Felix.

It had been more than ten days since Diana had been in the hunting lodge. The palace servants must already know of her relationship with the Crown Prince.

"Will you... save me?"

“That's up to you," he said, a response that brought no relief to Diana. Felix stopped moving and stared into her anxious face.

"I told you, I won't let anyone touch what belongs to me."

"You... you promised."

Diana swallowed back a sob, his hard cock still buried deep inside her, pulsing lightly. Diana instinctively hugged him tightly. Felix's languid breath brushed against her cheek.

"How dare a handmaiden demand a promise from a crown prince."

"Master..."

"Diana, don't overthink it, and if you don't bring back any useful information, I won't hold it against you."

If she learned anything about Eisen’s weaknesses, it would be of unexpected benefit. But even if she didn't, the fear on her face alone would make the effort worthwhile.

The more fear that built, the more clearly Diana would realize who the only one who could protect her was. Eventually, she'd realize where to turn, who to kiss, and whose arms to throw herself completely into.

It was one thing to remember something in your mind, but it was quite another to engrave it in your body. Felix's lips curved into a seductive smile.
