Chapter 1 (1/2)

Harem Pirates: Chapter 1 - The White Lady

“You want to go out to sea?”

The refres.h.i.+ng scent of salt filled the room.

The white curtains were thrown open to let in the bright sunlight. The window gave a view of the never-ending blue sky, the calm green sea, and countless large s.h.i.+ps.

This mansion belonged to Sigrain, one of only four naval admirals belonging to the naval kingdom of Etruria.

The beautiful woman sat in a long chair made from cool wicker. Her eyes were widened in surprise and she returned her teacup to the low table.

Her eyes always had a kind smile in them and had long eyelashes, her scarlet lips formed an elegant smile, and her chin drew a gentle curve. Her long chestnut hair fell on her forehead and would normally have reached her waist on the back, but she wore it up so as not to get in the way of her work. She was an adult woman with an elegant and refined intelligence to her features.

Her white dress was sleeveless and had a long skirt. A bold slit ran down the left slide and she wore a light pink cape over her round shoulders. It all had a very refres.h.i.+ng tropical design, but it contained delicate and detailed st.i.tching and she also wore earrings, a necklace, and a bracelet containing large pearls. She wore it all very casually, but her outfit was not that of a normal person.

Her thick collarbone was visible along her broad shoulders and the large b.r.e.a.s.t.s supported by it pushed out the chest of her white dress.

She seemed large for a woman both because her body itself was large and because she had a large presence.

She had a gorgeously beautiful face, a calm aura, and a maternal kindness, but anyone who thought she was merely kind came to regret it.

“Yeah, I’ve always wanted to go out to sea once I was as old as you when you became a sailor.”

The boy sitting across the rosewood table nodded innocently.

The handsome young boy looked so pure one feared a young woman with dangerous proclivities would kidnap him if he ever walked around town on his own.

The bare legs extending from his shorts were dazzling. The owner of the room narrowed her eyes in bewilderment at that sight that was both a treat and a poison for an adult woman.

At thirty-four, Sigrain was of course the youngest of the Etruria Kingdom’s naval admirals. She was also the only woman and she held the t.i.tle of countess.

No normal person could hold such an important position so young. She was the type who could easily smile while doing cruel things.

Her lively white skin left an impression on people, so her supporters called her the White Lady. Her opponents, however, called her the White Fox. In other words, one could never let their guard down around her because she had white skin on the outside, but dark intentions on the inside.

But either way, everyone admitted she was not your average woman.

Her intellectual and calm aura gave her the look of the perfect n.o.ble lady, but she was actually an unbelievably valiant woman.

She had learned to put on the mask of an elegant adult woman, but in her youth, she had apparently been the most unmanageable person imaginable.

She came from one of the most powerful families in the kingdom, but at just thirteen, she had essentially run away from home, disguised her ident.i.ty, and boarded a s.h.i.+p as a mere sailor. That was the beginning of what had become known as the Legend of Sigrain. She had made several legendary military accomplishments and it was said King Hazel of the neighboring Silvana Kingdom would tremble in fear if he so much as heard her name. Then again, that rumor was only found in the Etruria Kingdom, so its authenticity was uncertain.

“Still, this is quite sudden.”

“No, it isn’t. I’ve been planning his for a long time.”

Sigrain elegantly tilted her head in front of the angry boy and asked a somewhat cruel but testing question.

“Prince Ricardo, do you want to go out to sea because of your mother’s influence?”

When the unmanageable Sigrain had gone out to sea as a sailor, she had met Eterna, a naval officer who just so happened to be on the same s.h.i.+p. Eterna had later become a mistress of King Sigismund and from there became Ricardo’s mother. The two women had been friends for twenty years.

That was why Sigrain had known Ricardo since his birth.

The boy himself always referred to her only as “Sigrain”. He had called her “Aunt Sigrain” just once, but she had traumatized him with a smiling double slap to the face.

The ability to a.s.sault a prince with no repercussions showed just how powerful Sigrain was.

“No, I’m going to be made a retainer in the future. When that happens, I want to make a name for myself in the navy like you did.”

Ricardo had three far older brothers and five far older sisters, so sitting on the throne was a near impossibility for him. So in the near future, he was most likely going to be lowered to the position of retainer instead.

And while childishly thinking about his future, he had called on his reliable “aunt”.

“So I want to start now by hiding my ident.i.ty and becoming a sailor like you did.”

Sigrain had been a girl, so she had needed to essentially run away from home, hide her ident.i.ty, and sneak aboard the s.h.i.+p. As a result, she had been given a crash course in the basics of controlling a s.h.i.+p, which had paid off in a big way down the road.

Ricardo was a boy, so no one would argue much if he said he wanted to go out to sea. But he did not want to be decorated as a royal. It was an admirable amount of resolve.

“And I was thinking about the future of the Etruria Kingdom when I decided this.”

His childishly insistent opinion elicited a bitter smile and motivated the elegant lady to ask more.

“What makes you think that, Your Highness? Can you tell me what you honestly think?”

“Sure.”

Ricardo glanced over at the green sea visible out the window.

Due to that heart-cleansing beauty, it was known as the Jade Sea.

But that beauty was deceptive. It was a sea of ambition, where the interests of the coastal kingdoms were complexly intertwined.

Many naval kingdoms of various size bordered the Jade Sea, some port cities viewed themselves as independent cities, and there were plenty in the sea that were essentially pirates.

In this age of war, the sea was no different from land. Fault was found over minor transgressions in naval territory and many people would risk their lives to protect those territories.

In that way, the Etruria Kingdom was just one of the larger naval kingdoms.

“I know you’re the last person who needs to be told this, Sigrain, but this is an age of war. Our kingdom needs to increase its territory eventually, but we can’t make any progress on land.”

“Oh, and why is that?”

“The situation is far too different from when you fought Queen Vishnu.”

The kingdom bordering Etruria to the north was Sabrina. Sigrain’s name would forever be spoken of in the kingdom after she had driven back an invasion by Vishnu, the Sabrina Kingdom’s fierce queen.

Lord Bellrick, a nephew of the king who everyone had expected to be a great young general of the Etrurian army, had been caught in a trap by a female Sabrina Kingdom tactician named Shariera and his small castle had been nearly conquered. That was when Sigrain had arrived with a thirteen-s.h.i.+p fleet to save him.

The tables had turned on Queen Vishnu and she had nearly been defeated, so she had ended her invasion and retreated. Belzeia, veteran general of the Sabrina Kingdom, had commanded the rear guard so perfectly that the Etruria Kingdom had never managed a definitive victory, but the story of that battle was one of the most famous sagas told of by the bards and Sigrain had become a hero known the kingdom over.

After narrowly avoiding death, Queen Vishnu had praised Sigrain’s skill and said she wanted her as a part of her own army.

And immediately after the battle, Sigrain had shocked the kingdom by marrying Bellrick, the royal she had rescued. However, they had divorced after only three months, so most considered it to have only ever been a romance and not a true marriage.

Sigrain’s private life had shocked the kingdom, but the later actions of Queen Vishnu, who was seen as her rival, had surprised the people even more.

She had invaded the northern mountain kingdom of Orsini, been driven back again, fallen in love with Selune, the tactician who had commanded the force that defeated her, and had forcibly married him.

Then, Queen Malicia of the Orsini Kingdom had also fallen in love with Selune and had also forcibly married him.

The unexpected double marriage had combined the Sabrina and Orsini Kingdoms into the Orsini-Sabrina Double Kingdom.

No one knew what was going to happen in this age of war. From the perspective of a neighboring kingdom, the great changes tended to be truly unexpected. In a single night, the greatest kingdom on the south end of the continent had been born. That was exactly the sort of unexpected development this age of upheaval had become known for.

“We can’t defeat the Orsini-Sabrina Double Kingdom.”

“That’s quite a bold statement.”

Sigrain tried to make a reb.u.t.tal while elegantly sipping at her tea.

“The double kingdom structure was never feasible. And increasing their territory only increased the number of kingdoms they border. Most of our advisors are convinced they will have their hands tied fighting all of those kingdoms.”

“I think that’s an unrealistic theory. First of all, we only drove back Vishnu before because of the naval power you commanded. If we were to attack the double kingdom, we wouldn’t have the help of the navy. That’s like fighting with our dominant hand tied behind our back.”

Sigrain observed the boy with the cool-headedness of an examiner as he tried to convince her.

“The most we can do is make sure we don’t lose. And if we rely on an allied kingdom, we’ll gain little and it will just waste our time. Plus, if we take too long, the Domos Kingdom rumored to be advancing like a starving wolf in the north will move south and take advantage of the situation.”

“I see. Then do you have a solution, Your Highness?”

Ricardo did not hesitate to answer.

“We should ally with the double kingdom.”

“To make the Orsini-Sabrina-Etruria Triple Kingdom? That’s a tad long, don’t you think?”

Sigrain smiled bitterly and Ricardo shook his hand.

“I’m not saying I want one of my sisters or nieces to become Selune’s third queen. We just have to ally with them so they’ll look elsewhere.”

“But it seems that power-hungry Vishnu wants access to the sea, so do you really think she would overlook us?”

“It’s true she probably wants that, but she won’t attack Etruria right away with her kingdom’s internal issues and their conflicts with the surrounding kingdoms. We can ally with each other, trade for things we want, and build up our strength. Meanwhile, Etruria will conquer the Jade Sea. We can wait until after that to think up a way to face the double kingdom.”

Sigrain brought her narrow eyebrows together and some slight interest appeared on her face.

“That is certainly an ambitious idea.”

“Whether we fight them or ally with them, ruling the sea will help us in any number of ways. The sea is home for Etruria, so we’ll never lose there. We’re not known as the Rulers of the Southern Sea for nothing.”

“That is an excellent idea.”

Ricardo gave an embarra.s.sed blush at the earnest nod she gave him.

“Sorry for speaking out of turn, but even I understand this much. I’m sure you already knew all of that.”

The woman admiral did not reply. Someone in a public position could not speak about public policy so easily.

I’m sure father and my brothers will change the kingdom’s policy before long. From there, the navy will be the star. And if I’m going to fight, I want to do something that will get me known as a hero like you did. So I want to learn everything from the beginning as a sailor and I thought getting your help would be the best way to do that.”

The worldly woman chose her words carefully before this big-headed and ignorant boy.

“I suppose you have a point…”

“Then you’ll put me on a s.h.i.+p?”

Ricardo leaned forward in obvious excitement, but Sigrain gave a thoughtful look as her eyes moved up and down his body. Finally, she gave a determined nod.

“I think it’s a very interesting idea. If you’ve given this that much thought and you want to become acquainted with s.h.i.+ps, I see no reason to object. The one problem…is your age.”

“But you-…”

“I was an exception.”

Ricardo’s look made it clear the lady’s immediate rejection seemed unfair, so she smiled and held out a hand to stop him.

“I will give you my permission if you can prove you are a man.”

“Prove I’m a man?”

He did not know what she was asking and she gave a diligent nod.

“Yes. I’m asking you to prove you are no longer a child.”

He still did not get it, so he asked an honest question.

“What do I need to do?”

“Well, how about I accept you are a man if you succeed in making a woman your own.”

Sigrain looked thoughtful as she proudly crossed her legs, placed her left elbow on her chair’s armrest, and rested her cheek on that hand.

Her white skirt had a bold slit down the left side to make it easier to move in and that gave a glimpse of her plump white thigh. Her leg was visibly smooth and he could not help but imagine what the skin felt like.

A kind smile formed on her lips like usual, but Ricardo had never seen this expression before. It was the smile of an enchantress.

The naïve boy’s heart began to race and he found he had trouble breathing.

“Make a woman my own?”

“Men of the sea find a new woman at every port. A child who has never had a single woman cannot board a s.h.i.+p.”

The virgin boy restlessly rubbed his thighs together as he looked up at the lady.

“Will you let me on a s.h.i.+p if I do that?”

“Yes.”

Ricardo was shaken by this unexpected suggestion, but Sigrain was perfectly calm.

“But what woman could I possibly-…”

“Oh? Do you not see me as a woman?”

“Well, I obviously know you’re a woman. You’re incredibly beautiful and I’ve always liked you, but…”

As amazingly beautiful as she was, she was around the same age as his mother. It went beyond a mere issue of whether he liked her or not. It was too great a burden for a virgin boy.

She normally played the role of the kind and elegant adult, but now she gave the boy an arrogant look. She was clearly looking down on him.

But at the same time, she was oozing s.e.x appeal. The boy did not know what it was, but he still felt oddly embarra.s.sed and looked down.

“If you’re afraid of women, you can always run away.”

“I-I am not afraid!”

Ricardo shouted defiantly back to shake off the intimidation. He stood decisively from his chair, walked around the low table, and stood in front of Sigrain.

However, he did not know what to do from there, so the experienced adult woman smiled sweetly at the confused virgin boy.

“Please kiss me.”

She held out her face and her sensual lips.

Their difference in height meant their faces were about the same height with Sigrain sitting on the sofa and Ricardo standing.

The White Lady closed her eyes a little.

“…”

Ricardo gulped at this close look at something so beautiful.

Her nose was well-formed, her eyelashes were surprisingly long, and her plump lips were red. A thin application of makeup left nothing to complain about. Her face may have been one that really drew out the power of makeup.

Ricardo was hesitant to touch something so pretty, but he built up his resolve and brought his lips close for the sake of his dream.

He felt a jelly-like sensation.

Sigrain’s arms immediately squeezed tightly around him. In the warm arms of a grown woman, two soft and quite voluminous mounds of flesh pressed against his chest.

“Uuh.”

He let out a quiet groan and struggled, but he finally lost himself in the unstoppable sense of peace that surrounded him.

Sigrain rubbed her lips back and forth. She stuck her tongue in the boy’s mouth, licked his small front teeth, licked his gums, licked the roof of his mouth, and finally wrapped her tongue around his.

As she swept her tongue through every part of his mouth, some warm saliva flowed inside.

“…!?”

He opened his eyes in surprise.

One look at her face was enough to know she was silently urging him to swallow it, so he gathered his resolve and did so.

He could feel that adult woman’s syrup descending his throat and reaching his stomach. He could not find it dirty, so he sucked in as much of the fragrant woman’s juices as he could.

Sigrain finally ended the kiss and stood from her chair.

“Come here. We can continue in the room over there.”

The boy had grown quite obedient, so the elegant woman took his hand and brought him to the adjacent bedroom.

Her saliva had such a powerful aphrodisiac effect that one would suspect she had snuck a magic potion into it, so Ricardo felt like he was walking on the clouds of a dream.

The bright tropical suns.h.i.+ne filled the room and the large bed’s white sheets were bright.

The innocent boy could not fully imagine what was going to happen here, but his male instincts were telling him it would be something unbelievable.

His arousal left him short of breath and his heart was pounding in his chest.

“Eh heh heh. Now, Your Highness, prove to me just how wonderful a man you are.”

The virgin boy had grown almost timidly obedient and the mature woman laughed bewitchingly by his ear as she reached for his clothes.

“Ah, wait…”

She seemed to have stolen his soul with her kiss, but he finally came back to his senses and tried to resist. But before he could do a thing, she had removed his s.h.i.+rt and pulled down his shorts and underwear.

This revealed an adorable p.e.n.i.s that had shriveled at the sudden turn of events.

Sigrain smiled bitterly, reached out a hand, and grabbed the small s.e.x organ that had never been used for anything but urination.

“Having a p.e.n.i.s like this is what makes you a child.”

“I’m already an adult.”

Ricardo tried to argue back, but Sigrain only nodded kindly.

“You will be once I’m done with you.”

Her soft, warm fingertips gently and lightly rubbed the soft rod a few times.

“!?”

A jolt of intense pleasure he had never before felt raced from the core of his p.e.n.i.s and up his spine.

In the adult’s delicate and sweaty hand, the p.e.n.i.s doubled in size several times over. It was large for his age, but not comparable to an adult’s. Still, the way it stood so firmly erect tickled at the woman’s heart with how cute it was.

“You’ve already come a long way toward adulthood, but you’re only half a man now. I’ll make this a true adult p.e.n.i.s.”

With a s.e.xual smile on her face, Sigrain placed the young p.e.n.i.s’s tip in her mouth.

“Eh!? What!?”

This woman of unmatched beauty had just placed her mouth on the filthy place he used to relieve himself.

Ricardo was so surprised he tried to escape, but she stopped him and used her fingers, tongue, and lips to slowly and carefully pull back his foreskin.

“Wait, Sigrain, what are you doing? Ah, ahhhh…”

Despite the boy’s confusion, the mature woman continued pulling back the foreskin.

Without ever letting the exposed head touch the air, she enclosed it in her lips. In its first time in the outside world, the head was sucked on and licked all over with a tongue covered in plenty of saliva.

It was a painful sort of pleasure. The boy’s mind went blank as the head was licked clean and then released from the adult woman’s mouth.

“Only now can you call it an adult p.e.n.i.s. You could call it a ‘c.o.c.k’ now.”

Sigrain gave Ricardo’s p.e.n.i.s a loving look. The red swollen head twitched as it glittered from her saliva, so it looked painful and pitiful.

“Sigrain, it hurts…”

It had felt good inside her mouth, but it started to sting once it came in contact with the air.

“Don’t worry. This is a path you must walk down to become an adult. Now, use your manly weapon to conquer this woman. Then I will accept that you are a man.”

The beautiful woman left the teary-eyed boy to suffer and she lay face-up on the brilliant bed with pure-white sheets.

“Come here and do as you wish with my body.”

The pheromones of a mature woman rose from her entire body, but they were almost too powerful for the innocent virgin boy.

His freshly-exposed p.e.n.i.s stung in the open air, but it was still maddeningly erect.

“…”

He found he could not move even if he wanted to, so the world-wise woman kindly urged him along.

“Hm? What’s the matter?”

“U-um, well, this doesn’t seem like something you would do…”

The Sigrain that Ricardo knew was a hero.

She had made many military accomplishments at a young age and held an important position in the kingdom. And yet she still had the elegant talents of a lady. She was the ideal woman, not the kind of woman who would act like an obscene prost.i.tute.

“Eh heh heh. Did you mistake me for some kind of holy woman? I got into plenty of trouble in my time. I’ll teach you just what kind of creature a woman is, so come here.”

The lovely lady kindly waved him over, but Ricardo’s p.e.n.i.s hurt. He felt like it was going to explode.

Filled with an arousal that had nowhere to go, the boy hesitantly climbed onto the bed and crawled over to the defenseless woman.

She asked him a question as his gaze moved from the top of her head to the tips of her toes.

“What do you think of my body?”

“I-it’s amazingly pretty.”

“Eh heh heh. You have a way with words. But how about you try touching me instead of just looking?”

Her hands softly took his and placed them on her b.r.e.a.s.t.s over her clothes.

(Th-they’re so soft… How can they be so soft?)

He straddled her body and grabbed white mounds that were too large to fit in his hands.

They were more than just soft. The flesh was warm and plump. His fingers seemed to sink into them forever and that mysterious feeling led him to subconsciously fondle and play with them without her telling him to.

“Eh heh heh. I’m glad you seem to like them. You want to touch them directly now, don’t you?”

The boy’s pale face could not hide the shock that she had read his mind, but the adult woman only smiled and removed the shoulder straps from her round shoulders.

She pulled the dress down from her upper body revealing the fancy black bra on her chest.

“Please undo the bra’s hook if you don’t mind.”

Ricardo could not disobey her command as she rolled onto her back, so he undid the hook.

“Thank you.”

She rolled face up once more.

“!?”

He gulped at his first glimpse of the beauty that was a woman’s b.r.e.a.s.t.s.

The two giant mounds glittered brightly as if made from condensed milk and the light pink areola covered a wide area before fading into her white skin.

“Feel free to get started.”

The woman looked like she was offering him some of her home cooking while Ricardo looked like he had been offered a luxurious meal when he was starving. He could not stop the drool and he could not help but reach out his hand.

He hesitantly grabbed one of those flesh dumplings.

(They’re so warm and amazingly smooth. Her skin is like the finest silk.)

He was so impressed with the texture of her skin that he toyed with it and began kneading the red bud at the tip.

The more he toyed with it, the harder and more erect the nipple grew. He could instinctually tell the woman’s breathing had grown heavier as he toyed with it.

“Ahh, now suck on that nipple.”

He obeyed her as she released a seductive moan and he brought the left nipple into his mouth.

“Ahh!”

Sigrain gasped and a wave ran through her soft skin.

Ricardo was surprised at first, but when he saw how she was acting, he knew he could continue. The warm scent of skin tickled his nose and the nipple grew even harder inside his mouth.

He hesitantly licked it with the tip of his tongue, noticed she was not accusing him of doing anything wrong, and grew bolder. He rolled it around with his tongue, squeezed his lips around it, and finally started sucking.

“Ahn, you don’t need to look so worried. I’m not going to get mad. Enjoy it as much as you want.”

With her approval, Ricardo lost himself in devouring the flesh dumpling.

His mother and wet nurse’s b.r.e.a.s.t.s were a distant memory as the boy discovered the joy of sucking on a woman’s nipple.

(Oh, her face is all red. Does she like this?)

Instead of her usual calm att.i.tude, the lady wiggled restlessly and gave off the seductively sweet scent of sweat.

Ricardo felt joy welling up inside his chest at the fact that he was pleasuring a woman, so he started sucking at the other nipple.

The female admiral’s b.r.e.a.s.t.s contained plenty of elasticity, so he could not get enough of pressing his face into them. They were incredibly comfortable and pleasant.

The innocent prince fondled both her b.r.e.a.s.t.s while moving his lips back and forth between her nipples.
