Weeping Men: The Innocent Princess's Secret Delight - Chapter 2.19
***
“Please wait here for a moment.”
There was a long underground tunnel in the Northerners’ hideout. The tunnel was connected to a cave in the mountains.
Even after emerging from the tunnel with Judith in his arms, Kaizen only set her down after looking around and confirming their safety.
Remembering her previous complaint about bugs, he even took off all but his shirt, and spread it on a rock to make a thick seat for her to sit on.
“Wait a moment!”
And then he was about to leave.
Judith, of course, held him back. It wasn’t for the shameless reason of not wanting to miss the state where he had only one layer left to remove. Only a real scumbag would think that!
“Where are you going with that back!”
His clothes were torn from protecting Judith from the explosion, and his back was covered in blisters from burns. She couldn’t let him wander in the winter night with such injuries.
Despite this being obvious, Kaizen furrowed his brows as if trying to stop Judith from making a fuss, and pulled his wrist free from her grasp.
“You don’t need to worry about it.”
“At least let me give you some first aid…!”
“I have my own method. Your Highness, please just rest here.”
His determination not to accept Judith’s help was palpable. While Judith was left bewildered, he bowed politely and went out of the cave.
Outside the cave was a steep mountainside. Kaizen skillfully descended the ridge towards a distant lake, his thoughts still on Judith.
‘It’s fortunate she didn’t follow me out. If she were to slip on a path like this, it could lead to an even worse accident than before.’
He had spoken firmly, thinking she wouldn’t easily give up. And yet, he felt uneasy and wanted to go back to explain himself.
He had to rationalize like this just to keep from turning back. He barely managed to reach the lake without turning around.
He took off his clothes and pulled out an ointment from his emergency bag. It was an ointment blessed by a priest, which he had received on the day he set out. The ointment, imbued with holy power, could heal wounds short of amputation just by applying it.
But before applying medicine, wounds need to be washed with water. He unhesitatingly immersed himself in the lake. Blood spread in the water around him.
The water was ice-cold and the wounded areas stung. But this was bearable. In the North, he had countless near-death experiences where his head almost came off above his shoulders.
It’s a small price to pay for protecting the Imperial Princess without a scratch.
‘The cave isn’t completely safe either, so I should return quickly.’
His mind was preoccupied with thoughts of Judith. He hastily reached for the ointment, intending to finish the treatment quickly and return.
“Should I apply it to your back?”
Suddenly, the figure from his imagination spoke to him. He splashed in surprise, moving away from the shore.
Judith, who had somehow come down and was behind Kaizen, was waiting for him with her nose wrinkled, a generous amount of ointment on her finger.
“We need to do this quickly, where are you going?”
“H-how did you come down?”
“You taught me plenty of escape techniques but no hunting skills. I’m an expert at rolling, sliding, and avoiding collisions with rocks and trees. You think I couldn’t manage that path?”
Looking up at her from the water, she seemed particularly different. Kaizen asked, knowing his question would sound quite foolish:
“…Are you angry?”
“Yes.”
She wiggled her finger.
“So come here. Before I get angrier.”
It was just a gesture, but it carried a strange force. Kaizen, having completely lost the will to resist, approached Judith as if entranced.
“Do I just apply it directly, nothing else?”
“Yes….”
“…..”
Suddenly, he found himself completely n*ked, showing his back to the Imperial Princess. It was only natural that thoughts of m*sturbation in the bathtub came to mind.
Every time Judith’s soft fingers traced or rubbed along his spine, Kaizen struggled not to be conscious of her touch. His tense back muscles twitched uncontrollably, revealing his state all too clearly.
Judith was equally embarrassed.
‘Don’t get turned on by a patient… Only trash would do that….’
With a back as broad as an ocean, yet reacting as innocently as a teenage boy, she kept wanting to tease him. She used all her willpower to resist the urge to knead him like dough, pretending not to notice.
The ointment’s effectiveness was excellent. Just by spreading it, Judith was somewhat relieved to see the wounds gradually healing and the swelling subsiding.
“All done. Still, just in case, don’t stand guard as if on alert, let’s go back togeth—”
Thud.
As Judith was about to turn away, her wrist was firmly grasped.
“…..”
“Ah…!”
As if his body had reacted before his mind could process it, Kaizen quickly released Judith’s wrist when their eyes met, as though he had been burned.
He lowered his head deeply, a flush of emotion—whether self-reproach or excitement—spreading down to his chest.
“…I’m… sorry… Don’t worry…”
Whether out of habit or not, he mumbled again about handling it himself.
Judith didn’t pay attention to his words, focusing only on Kaizen’s physical reactions.
Though clumsily covered by his arm, his e***t manhood, with veins prominently visible, was leaking clear pre-c*m.
‘And I’m trash.’
Judith resolved that this time, she wouldn’t back down no matter what.
“Are you cold?”
“Huh? N-not really…”
“But if you’re not cold, there’s no reason for you to be shaking like this.”
She pressed her body slightly against his back and reached around to rub his abs. Though not chiseled, the firm, lean muscles felt good under her hand.
“…!”
With just a little caress, Kaizen twisted his waist to avoid her touch, trying to escape from her embrace.
‘Where do you think you’re going?’
Judith clung to him completely, kneading his chest, waist, and stomach all over. She even rubbed her cold cheek against his back while maintaining an innocent voice.
Her face, hidden from his view, didn’t bother with even minimal expression control, her lips twitching mischievously.
“Of course, you’d be cold sitting here naked, right?”
“Ugh… Your Highness…”
“Still, it’s better not to put on the clothes you took off. They got wet on the ground, you’ll catch a cold if you wear them.”
“…Please…”
“You can’t wear clothes, and you shouldn’t catch a cold. What should we do… Ah!”
Judith, still hugging him tightly, moved forward and sat on his thighs.
