The Imperial Princess Immune to Hypnosis

Chapter 2 – The Imperial Princess (2)

What I see before me are iron bars. And damp stone walls.

This was a prison located beneath the imperial palace.

I heard it was a place mainly used to temporarily hold assassins, servants, or officials detained in the palace.

As a place for confining criminals, it wasn’t exactly comfortable.

Without proper bedding like a bed or blankets, my back aches when I lie down.

Having caused an incident like rape in the sacred residence of the imperial family, such treatment was only natural.

It was the kind of treatment I wondered how many times I’d received in my lifetime, but I didn’t mind much. After all, I could escape anytime if I wanted to.

I lay down on the hard stone floor. Quietly, I carefully recalled the series of events from earlier.

The imperial princess, startled by my sudden intrusion into her bedchamber, immediately screamed and called for the guards.

If I had wanted, I could have instantly dispatched the guards and leisurely slipped out through the palace’s main gate, but I deliberately chose not to.

It would be more accurate to say I didn’t care at all.

In truth, at that moment, my attention was entirely focused on the imperial princess.

She who wouldn’t budge even after I spoke to her and gave her orders multiple times. The Third Imperial Princess Violetta.

Hypnosis, transformation, et cetera.

People tend to describe this ability in whatever way suits them, but in reality, it’s not something mild enough to be expressed so simply.

I typically use it by giving commands to others, but the subject doesn’t necessarily need to understand my orders.

Whether they hear it or not, the subject’s awareness isn’t important at all.

What matters is my awareness.

Literally, it was based on the premise ‘if I want it.’

Violetta might not have understood what I said because she was excited and caught off guard.

But that shouldn’t matter at all.

Even if Violetta didn’t understand my words, she should have moved in the direction I wanted. She should have acted and thought as I desired.

I clearly told Violetta to calm down, so she should have immediately calmed down and subdued her excitement.

But the imperial princess did not.

It was a puzzling thing.

It was also shocking.

Literally, a situation I had never experienced before.

A type I was seeing for the first time.

The feeling of having common sense denied.

For someone who freely changes others’ common sense at will, it was a somewhat refreshing emotion.

***

Lying on the hard stone floor for quite some time.

As time passed, I sensed footsteps approaching deliberately from far away.

Before long, the presence arrived right in front of the iron bars.

I remained motionless, continuing to lie on the stone floor.

I heard the sound of someone drawing in a sharp breath, as if dumbfounded.

“Looking comfortable as if this were your own home. Don’t you have any sense of tension?”

Violetta’s voice, cold as frost.

Only then did I raise my head and sit up.

Two people were staring at me through the bars.

It was Imperial Princess Violetta, along with a man who appeared to be her attendant.

Violetta looked down at me with a cold expression and spoke.

“What a carefree attitude. Do you know who I am?”

“Imperial Princess Violetta, Your Highness.”

“You know that and still have this attitude.”

Her face was quite displeased.

“You, what exactly are you? Setting aside how you barged into my bedchamber, no one felt anything strange about you walking around the corridor carrying a lady-in-waiting in such a state. What trick did you use?”

“Have you been conducting an interrogation already?”

“I was wondering what the others were doing while an intruder was boldly strutting around the imperial palace. I caught and questioned each person who was working in the palace.”

The princess frowned at that point.

“There are eyewitness accounts about you, but strangely, no one found it unusual. It’s a bizarre situation.”

Clearly something out of the ordinary happened, but no one found it strange.

From my perspective, it’s nothing special, but from her position, it must be maddening.

The witnesses each have something off about them. She must feel like she’s been thrown alone among the blind. The situation must be completely incomprehensible to her.

However, Violetta seemed to have finished her own reasoning, and casually opened her mouth.

“You’re a magician, aren’t you? And quite an exceptional one at that. One who mainly deals with mental magic.”

“Why would you assume that?”

“It’s hardly an assumption. Isn’t it obvious? Starting with my lady-in-waiting who testified that she willingly threw herself at you despite having just met you, and others who behaved in ways that can only be explained if their minds were manipulated. Naturally, I can only conclude that you used some form of brainwashing magic or similar technique.”

“Indeed. Your Highness is correct. So what do you intend to do now?”

It’s not magic, but it is something like brainwashing.

What is she trying to say?

I’ll play along for a moment.

“What do I intend? Given that you came all the way to my bedchamber and pulled such a stunt, execution is already decided. But I don’t think you want to die like this. Am I right?”

“If possible, I would prefer to live longer.”

“Ha, I’m sure you would. So I wanted to make you a proposal.”

“A proposal?”

I thought it seemed rather sparse for a visit to a prisoner.

Perhaps she wanted to have a somewhat secret conversation and sent others away.

I nodded as if to tell her to continue.

Violetta paused briefly before continuing.

“…I’d like you to come under me and do a few things.”

“By ‘come under you,’ you mean?”

“Exactly what I said—become my person. Work for me and lend me your power. As you know, I am the heir to the imperial throne, and I have many enemies for various reasons. Though I’ve only seen you briefly, I’m convinced. Your abilities could be very useful under my command. You want women? You don’t need to commit such disrespectful acts like today. If you want, I can legally procure them for you. I’ll select ones as pretty as that lady-in-waiting you violated today.”

“Hmm.”

It was a proposal that didn’t require much deep thought.

But since I’d decided to play along, I nodded with a low voice as if it were an enticing offer.

After pretending to consider for a moment, I opened my mouth.

“Well, there is actually a specific woman I want. Can you deliver her to me?”

“Who is it? I’ll decide after hearing.”

“You.”

I pointed at her with my finger.

“What?”

“I said I want to use your pussy. Should I say it again?”

“……”

Violetta closed her mouth.

I continued talking, unconcerned.

“Let me propose the opposite. Kiss my cock and swear your submission. Then I’ll do whatever you want. It’s nothing for me to use my power for my possession. Right? You want to become Emperor? Whatever.”

“……I can’t accept that.”

Violetta glared at me, trembling with contempt.

“I guess I looked ridiculous enough for you to laugh off all my pathetic nonsense? Well, all accomplished magicians are out of their minds. I’ll take that as a rejection of my offer. You’ll soon be moved to a proper detention facility. Just prepare yourself until your execution.”

“Does it sound like nonsense?”

“Keep babbling.”

A look as if she were watching a mentally ill person. It was quite a fresh perspective for me. While ordinary people would unhesitatingly offer even their hearts at my command.

Even now, I consistently tried to manipulate the princess, but there wasn’t even a sign that my ability was working on her.

I turned my head and directed my gaze toward Violetta’s attendant. A bunch of keys hung at his waist.

Perhaps he was going to release me from here if I accepted her proposal.

For now, I decided to get out and think.

I commanded the attendant.

“You, get me out of here.”

“Yes.”

Without a moment’s hesitation, he took the keys and flung open the barred door.

“What, what is…”

Violetta’s eyes widened in shock as she stammered.

“You, what are you… Stop!”

The flustered Violetta shouted loudly and grabbed the attendant’s wrist, but naturally, the attendant showed no sign of stopping.

“He was wearing an artifact with high resistance to mind control magic, how, how could…”

So that’s what she was relying on when she came to meet me.

Such resistance was meaningless from the start since what I have isn’t magic.

After escaping from behind the bars, I immediately placed my hands on Violetta’s shoulders and roughly pulled her into my arms.

“Ugh!”

She resisted desperately, but from the beginning, a delicate woman’s body is at a disadvantage when it comes to strength.

Realizing she couldn’t resist, Violetta gave up trying to shake off the hands on her shoulders and forcefully raised her leg between my thighs.

Thud.

However, the attack aimed at my male organ was also easily blocked. Her right leg was caught by my right hand, preventing her from achieving her original purpose.

Naturally, I haven’t only enjoyed submissive sexual relationships with all women. I’ve already experienced this kind of rape play several times.

It’s difficult to find a weakness as exposed and effective as the male organ.

In situations like this, fragile women mostly try to attack the male organ.

If you’re prepared in advance, blocking it is simple.

Violetta, whose counterattack had been thwarted, looked up at me with a dumbfounded expression.

Soon, fear settles in those arrogant eyes.

Swish-

I slowly lifted up the right leg I had grabbed.

As one leg rose, her skirt naturally lifted, revealing the snow-white underwear beneath.

Violetta trembled her small body with shame and fear as she cried out.

“No, d-don’t…!”

Ignoring her, I reached out with my other hand.

Toward the indented mark etched in a straight line on the snow-white underwear.

That’s when it happened.

“Stop.”

It was a sudden presence that halted my hand.

“……”

I reluctantly shifted my gaze toward the direction of the voice.

A dagger, which I hadn’t noticed until now, was pointed at my neck.

And following the arm holding the dagger, there stood an unidentifiable figure.

A pitch-black outfit that clung tightly to the body.

I could tell it was a woman by her body’s contours, but because her entire body, including her face, was covered in black clothing, I couldn’t make out her exact appearance.

As I frowned, Violetta let out a sigh of relief. What’s this? It seems she thinks the situation has turned back in her favor.

Is this some kind of secret royal guard?

After alternately looking at the unidentified woman and the visibly relieved Violetta, I came to a conclusion.

I had thought it strange that a woman who was supposedly a princess was walking around so carelessly, but it turns out there was a guard secretly monitoring her from an unseen place.

Thinking she had regained the upper hand, Violetta slapped my hand away and ordered her guard.

“Viola. This man dared to attempt to violate a royal! Capture him alive, as I plan to torture him until he wishes he were dead!”

So this woman’s name is Viola.

I’ve grasped the situation well enough.

I’m done playing along. There’s no need to voluntarily let myself be captured.

“Viola, remove the knife from my neck and take three steps back.”

“……”

Without further delay, I intercepted Violetta’s order.

Violetta’s guard, Viola, withdrew her knife and distanced herself from me without a word.

“Uh….”

Violetta’s face turned pale once again.
