Knights of The Dauntless Princess

Chapter 49: Drunk

"Still want some, princess? You're really good at drinking!" one of Ranz's companions laughed, along with Amara.

Amara couldn't tell how many glasses of alcohol she had already consumed, as they were being handed to her one after the other. Once again, Orson was offering her a glass, but as Amara reached for it, another hand took the glass.

They turned to the man who took the glass and immediately downed the alcohol. Amara's face still showed her surprise as to why he took what was meant for her.

"Dravis? Hic!" Amara exclaimed, as she hiccuped.

"You're right, mother. Princess, I'm sure you won't be feeling well tomorrow," Dravis said, glancing at Ranz's companions. "Don't make her drink anymore. She's not really a drinker, so she'll get drunk easily."

"Ugh! You're such a killjoy, Dravis—" the young man couldn't finish his sentence as he was suddenly given a warning look by Dravis. The young man shivered and awkwardly smiled. "Yes, I agree, princess! Don't drink. Rest."

"Huh? But we're still having fun— huh!?" the princess was surprised when Dravis suddenly pulled her away from them. "Dravis!?"

Dravis saw Cyrus, who seemed to be tempted to drink more as he was surrounded by other girls. Louie had returned with Nina's sister, Noreen. Dravis continued walking until he and Amara were completely away from the dining area. He still didn't let go of Amara, thinking she might go back there and start drinking again.

"Dravis!?" the tipsy princess called out again.

The young man didn't turn to her, "You shouldn't be drinking with so many men, even if you say they're our allies."

"Uh? What's wrong with that? We're just having fun! Hik!" Amara retorted.

"Let's say that alcohol brings a different kind of pleasure to those who consume it. It temporarily makes them forget about themselves, their proper behavior, and how they should act. Because of alcohol, many engage in inappropriate actions, like arguments or taking advantage of a woman, and you're not exempt from that, even if you're a princess," Dravis said, his voice cold.

"They probably aren't like that," Amara dismissed, but Dravis suddenly pulled her into their cabin. Amara gasped as Dravis closed the door and locked her in. "Dravis?"

"How can you say they're not like that? Perhaps you've forgotten that they're bandits?" Dravis said, staring intently at the young woman. "And perhaps you've forgotten how alluring you can be, princess."

"H-Huh? W-What?" Amara's heart rate quickened, and despite the haze of alcohol, her awareness seemed intact.

Dravis cupped her face and then kissed Amara's lips. She didn't seem inclined to refuse him, as she also opened her mouth to admit the young man's agile tongue. Amara wrapped her arms around Dravis's neck, causing him to pull her closer, their bodies pressing against each other.

"Uhmm…" Amara moaned as Dravis gradually left her lips and trailed down to her neck. "D-Dravis, they might see us. Ugh!"

"Do you want me to stop?" Dravis asked, his hand gently squeezing Amara's ample bosom.

Amara bit her lip, her face flushing. She was concerned that Louie and Cyrus might catch them, but she also didn't want to stop Dravis.

Dravis saw the worry in Amara's eyes, prompting him to halt even before the princess responded. He lifted her chin and planted a brief kiss on her lips.

"I understand, I won't force you," Dravis said, turning away from Amara.

Amara seemed to feel a mixture of disappointment and embarrassment as she watched Dravis head towards his resting place and decide to sleep. Dravis removed his upper clothing and lay down on his bed. Amara, on the other hand, remained standing there, contemplating her next move.

She didn't know why, but her body was warming up. She wanted to embrace and hold the young man, but she didn't know how to express that desire. She slightly lowered her head and clenched her arms. She took a deep breath, as if gathering the remaining strength of her courage, and took a step closer to Dravis's bedside.

Dravis's eyes were closed, but when he sensed Amara standing by his bed, he opened them again and turned to look at her.

"Why? Is there a problem?" the young man asked in surprise.

After a moment, Amara lifted the blanket and Dravis was surprised when the young woman lay down beside him.

"Can I... sleep beside you?" Amara asked.

Dravis was momentarily taken aback, but soon he grinned and said, "As if I would put you to sleep immediately."

Dravis kissed Amara's lips again, and their kisses grew more passionate. Because Dravis was only wearing his lower garments, Amara could feel the warmth of his body beneath the blanket. Dravis held her tightly and continued to kiss her. His hand began to explore Amara's body, igniting even more warmth within her. Each touch of Dravis felt like a thrilling electric current running through her body. Dravis once again left her lips and slowly moved down to the princess's ample chest.

Under the white blanket that covered Dravis and Amara, the young man bestowed a peculiar pleasure upon the young woman's body. Amara clung tightly to Dravis as she felt the young man's tongue playing with her n****e and sucking on it.

They were both consumed by desire. Dravis couldn't restrain himself any longer and his hands wandered to the most sensitive part of Amara's body.

"D-Dravis—ugh!!!" Amara trembled as she uttered the young man's name. She could feel his fingers now on her sensitive area. His fingers circled around her pearl and Amara felt like something was about to burst because of the pleasure.

Dravis returned to kissing Amara's lips. He continued what he was doing, and Amara was almost losing her mind because of it.

****

The next day, Amara woke up with a headache. She felt incredibly thirsty and nauseous. She sat up and looked around at the beds beside her. She wondered how she ended up in her bed when she remembered lying in Dravis's bed.

She saw that Cyrus was still sound asleep, but the beds of Louie and Dravis were neat, though she couldn't see the two young men. Soon, the door opened, and Amara saw Dravis enter.

"You're awake," Dravis said, as if he had just finished taking a bath.

Amara simply nodded.

"How are you feeling?" Dravis asked as he approached Amara.

Amara blushed at the handsomeness and fresh appearance of the former general.

"It's okay, I'm just feeling a bit queasy and thirsty," Amara said.

"Just as I suspected," replied Dravis, leaning in slightly to whisper to the girl. "Looks like you got really drunk because you suddenly fell asleep on me last night."

Amara's eyes widened, and her face turned even redder than a tomato due to embarrassment. She realized that was what happened, explaining why she couldn't remember anything. She was at a loss for words to say to Dravis.

Dravis grinned and walked around while putting on his clothes. He picked up his sword and was about to leave the room.

"Get yourself together and have some breakfast," Dravis said, glancing back at her before exiting the door. "You owe me one, dear princess."

"Eh!? W-What!?"
