The Sun Prince - Re:Zero OC

After a day filled with the drama of the royal selection ceremony and the one-sided duel after it, needless to say, I was quite mentally exhausted upon our return to the mansion.

And so, after having a nice dinner made by the manor's maids with Priscilla, I planned to perform some light training before turning in for the night.

But… fate had other plans for me.

"Selian," Priscilla stated after I walked her to her room. "Where do you think you're going? Did you forget that I ordered you to service me tonight? Don't tell me you plan to abandon your duties…"

Wait… she still wanted that?

And she was actually serious?

"Priscilla… are you sure?" I asked.

"Of course I am. I have already asked the maids to leave some oils in my room, so stay out there, and I will call you when I am ready," she said, giving me a teasing smile before she closed the door behind her, leaving me alone in the hallway.

Uh… what?

A massage… she still wanted a massage…

That raised quite the important question.

How did one give someone a massage?

More importantly, how was I supposed to do that, while also completely suppressing my urges?

I had long since accepted that I loved Priscilla, both romantically, and with the many times I had caught myself looking and dreaming of her in disrespectful ways, sexually as well.

Would I have to rub her hands? Her arms? Her shoulders? Her… her ch-chest?

The prospect of such possibilities instantly made my face get hot from embarrassment and a bit of excitement.

After all, while I had the experiences of my past life's memories that included those of a sexual nature, I had discovered that Selian, me, was a different person than who I was in the past.

It was difficult to explain, but because of my experiences in being a baby, and my faded memories of the past because of it, I had found myself as a completely separate identity from the one on earth.

And I… was completely innocent in such matters.

So not only was it natural for me to be flustered, but I also had no clue how to go about this.

Okay… let's think, Selian.

A massage… the trick was to go slow, correct?

Slowly feel where the muscles were tight due to constant strain and soothe them with a soft touch, both for relieving pain, and also for physical pleasure…

But still, I had no idea how to do that.

I guess… I would just need to play it by ear?

Yes… I suppose I would.

"Selian. I am ready," Priscilla muffled voice said, prompting me to take a deep breath before opening the door.

Seeing the room cast in a soft orange glow, with the scent of hickory permeating the air from the incense set alight in the corner, I turned my gaze to where Priscilla was laying down on her bed, only to freeze a moment later.

As for why?

Well, because the only thing I saw covering her body was a single towel draped across her back, her soft skin glowing under the candlelight as a pot of oil rested on the bedside table.

It once again hit me, just what I was about to do.

Why… why did she even want me to do this?

No, it was obvious why.

It was because she enjoyed my reactions.

I already knew just how much Priscilla loved to tease me, especially with things like this, where I would squirm in embarrassment.

"Selian. Do not keep me waiting," she said, turning her head to face me.

Okay… let's do this.

Don't give in to any urges that appear, and don't falter to make her even more pleased about all this, for if you do, she is sure to ask for something as stimulating as this again.

Simply take it all in, service her to her heart's content, and then, afterwards… indulge in the memories alone, all without giving her the reaction she was absolutely looking for.

Let's do this, Selian.

"Okay… then, I will begin," I said, closing the door behind me as I moved to her side.

Really… even face down, with most of her body covered, Priscilla was still somehow as enchanting as ever.

No… even more so.

"Where… would you like me to start?" I asked her.

"Hmm… my shoulders have felt quite burdened lately, so start with that," she replied.

Thinking of her impressive 'assets', I could certainly see that being the case.

"Understood… my lady," I said, attempting to cut off my senses, just like I had learned to do when changing her.

Right… I was the one she asked to change her, so something like this shouldn't be that difficult.

And besides, a massage was meant to heal, so while something like this might seem like an extreme disrespect to the one's master, this was simply a way to relieve her physical burdens and heal her back to perfect health, and that was surely an acceptable task for a knight to do.

Yes… this was perfectly acceptable.

So… let's do this.

Luckily, Priscilla had positioned herself horizontally across the bed so that I could easily reach her shoulders while standing to the side, so thankfully, there was no need to straddle her in order to get a good angle.

I… didn't even want to think what would happen in that case.

Pouring some oil onto my hands, I rubbed them together in order to warm the liquid as I then took a deep breath to prepare myself.

"Selian? Is there something- oh!"

Priscilla's teasing tone cut off as my hands landed on her shoulders, gently rubbing along her soft skin as the oil spread across it, my thumbs gently rubbing along her nape and neck as my fingers and palm squeezed the taut muscles of her shoulders.

No. Thoughts.

She released a gentle hum of pleasure that I fought with all my heart to ignore as I continued my work, my hands caressing her oiled skin as I searched for any knots or signs of tension, and as I found them, I gently kneaded deep into her tissue, alleviating her discomfort as much as I could with my admittedly amateur skills.

"Is this fine, my lady?" I asked as my fingers began tracing up her neck and up to her ears, my thumbs rubbing soothing circles into her temples.

"Mmm… yes, it is most definitely… pleasant…" she said, her expression relaxing as she then pressed her face into the bedsheet, hiding it from me.

Okay… I was doing good, then. So let's keep this up.

Slowly, I traced my fingers upward towards her head, with her hair still done in her usual braid.

Thankfully, most of the oil had already rubbed off on her shoulders and neck at this point, so I wouldn't have to worry about getting her hair too oily.

Gently undoing the clip that was holding her bun together, I let her blonde hair cascade over her head as I gently ran my fingers through it, my hands brushing it to the side so I could begin tenderly massaging her scalp.

That seemed to be something she liked, at least if the delighted murmur she released was anything to go by.

But this wouldn't relieve any tension… this was only for pleasure.

So, after a few more moments, I then released her head, my hands going to the pitcher of oil once more.

"Priscilla, can you move your arms outward? I'll get you a pillow," I said.

"A-Alright…" she replied, moving her arms from under her face as I had asked.

Huh?

Why was she acting so… meek?

Well, I guess she liked it more that I could have guessed?

What a pleasant surprise.

Now I shouldn't have to worry about her teasing me… hopefully.

Moving a pillow to replace her arms in supporting her head, I then rubbed my hands together once more, spreading the oil across my palms as I then began to trace my hands across her arms, ignoring how her repositioning had made the towel lift enough so that I could see her bare side.

So she was wearing a bra… thank god.

If she wasn't, that might have shattered the calm composure I had been maintaining thus far.

I continued rubbing down her skin, relishing in the feeling of her powerful yet soft arms as I gently kneaded into her muscles, reaching all the way down to her hand, which I then took into my own.

Her hands… they really were beautiful.

Soft skin, deft fingertips, perfectly maintained nails… and her hand fit perfectly in mine.

I unconsciously linked my fingers with hers as I gently massaged her palm, applying a gentle pressure as I then did the exact same thing to her opposite arm and hand.

Okay… top half done, so let's move to the back now.

Refilling my hands with oil, I then walked to the opposite end of the bed, unaware of how Priscilla had raised her head to give me a questioning raise of her eyebrow.

With my eyes narrowed in seriousness, I then took her foot into my hands, feeling her leg to flinch in surprise.

"Sorry… I didn't warn you," I said.

"It's fine…" she replied, her voice subdued. "…Continue."

Alright then.

Her feet, aside from her shoulders, were likely the most important places to treat correctly, as Priscilla spent much of her days on her feet, and when doing so, wore shoes that were quite taxing on her feet.

My fingers gently rubbed her toes, cracking a few of them with small movements as I then moved to her soles, and with my palms applying a deep pressure to her heels and lines of muscle… her foot suddenly shot upwards.

"My lady?" I questioned.

"S-Selian… stop that at once," Priscilla said, having turned her head into her pillow. "D-Do that again, and I'll force you to do… bad things, so stop it."

I was initially confused, but remembering the seemingly instinctual reaction from before…

Was she, perhaps, ticklish?

I traced my finger along her foot, only to feel it flinch upwards once again.

"I am serious!" she stated.

So she was… this was definitely something to remember, but for now, I would follow her wishes.

"Understood. Then, I'll move on," I said.

And I did just that, using my still oily hands to snake up her legs, gently rubbing her ankles until I reached her calves, where I pressed my thumbs into the tight muscles I could immediately recognize.

It seemed that my actions had pleased Priscilla, as she turned her head back into the pillow as I continued.

Well… now that I was at her legs, this could be quite dangerous.

After all, with that smooth skin, toned calves, plump and curvy thighs… they were the perfect blend of femininity and confidence, leading to an irresistible charm.

Not to mention just where those beautiful thighs led towards… no, no sexual thoughts.

Actually, no thoughts at all.

Clear. Your. Mind.

…

There.

With my mind cleared, I continued my work, my hands kneading along her calves as I then moved up to her thighs, gently lifting the towel so that I could reach the back of her legs as I pressed my palms against the firm and healthy muscles, gently rubbing in order to relieve any pressure that had formed through a day's worth of walking and standing.

And with the back of her thighs done, I moved to the sides of her thighs, wrapping my hands around her left leg as I rubbed the oil across her skin.

"Selian?" Priscilla said.

"Is there something wrong?" I asked, momentarily pausing my movements.

Did she want to flip over?

"N-No… no there isn't," she said, facing down once more.

Thinking of that as the signal to continue, I continued massaging her leg, taking extra care to trace my digits along her inner thigh to test for any tightness, from the bottom, all the way to the top, where my fingertips delicately prodded her pelvis.

Okay, there was only a bit of-

"Mmmh!" Priscilla groaned.

Huh?

Was I… going too hard?

I thought I was being quite gentle, but I suppose that wasn't the case…

"Apologies, Priscilla," I said before I resumed.

I shifted my movements from going deep into her tissue, instead to focus on gently moving across her skin, moving to focus on her inner thighs as I rubbed as delicately as I could, only momentarily pausing as my fingers brushed against her panties.

That… that was close.

But it was okay.

After all, how could I lose calm from such a thing when there were no sexual thoughts in my mind.

No thoughts in my mind at all, in fact.

So it was fine.

"S-Selian, you- mm!" Priscilla groaned once more.

Was… was that a sensitive spot?

Then, I suppose I should finish this quickly as to not make her uncomfortable.

Taking another handful of oil, I continued focusing on her inner thigh as I mixed gentle movements with deep pressure, my mind completely clear as I suddenly began to feel her legs shake.

I initially thought I had reached another ticklish spot on her, but no… her entire body was convulsing.

"Priscilla? What's wrong?" I asked, removing my hands as her shaking began to subside.

I didn't get an answer, only a soft groan coming from the pillow.

Did… did I actually hurt her by accident?

Wiping off the residual oil on my pants, I moved over to the other side of the bed, kneeling down to see her face.

It was… flushed, at least from what I could see from her profile.

More flushed than I had ever seen before.

A deep crimson, with a slight trail of drool coming from the corner of her mouth.

"Priscilla-"

"Stop!" she suddenly shouted, her eyes looking over to meet mine as she then turned her head to the opposite side. "T-That is quite enough! You did well, so leave at once! N-No, I am ordering you to!"

"I-I got it… I apologize," I said, moving backwards.

"D-Don't apologize… just… please leave me for the moment," she said.

And with that, I quickly exited the room, leaning my back against the door as I shut it behind me.

She didn't seem angry… and she didn't seem to be in pain… so what was that about?

I guess I wouldn't be able to know… but perhaps I could ask her tomorrow.

I then looked down at my two open palms, the memories of what had just occurred entering my mind as I thought back on the soft feeling of her skin, and how her body was completely within my hands…

No, never mind.

Perhaps I could just remain curious instead.

But in order to sleep tonight… well, I think I might need to take care of a 'personal issue' of mine first.

—

"Ah, Selian… what a coincidence to meet you here," Reinhard said.

"Oh? It is indeed… What are you doing out here?" I asked.

It was a little after morning, with the warm air of spring blowing through the streets of the capital that I was currently walking through.

"Ah… well, I had wanted to check on Subaru after yesterday's incident, so I was heading towards the Karsten residence," he said.

"The Karsten residence?" I questioned. "Isn't Emilia-sama and her camp at an inn in the nobles' district?"

"Well, I had received word that Emilia-sama has left for the Mathers estate, while Subaru remained here to receive treatment for his damaged gate, so he is staying there for the moment," he said.

Oh… I see.

I didn't think that Subaru would want to separate from Emilia, especially after yesterday, but perhaps… it was Emilia that forced it.

He had embarrassed both her and himself pretty badly, after all.

"I also… had something to speak to you about, and I had planned on visiting the Barielle manor after this until I met you here," he said before tilting his head. "And speaking of that… why are you out here as well, Selian? Is Priscilla-sama nearby?"

My fists clenched.

"Uh… no. I was just… heading to check on Subaru too… but thankfully, I now know that he is no longer at the inn," I said, averting my eyes.

"I see…" he replied.

That… was somewhat of a lie.

The main reason I had left the manor, was simply because of the weird atmosphere between Priscilla and me that had appeared this morning.

As soon as I went into her room to help her dress, the memories of what I had done the night before ran through my head, leaving me in a very flustered state, but thankfully, I was able to get through it.

And while I wasn't completely sure, I was quite certain that Priscilla was affected as well.

Not only was she unusually quiet during the morning with me, but she also flinched when I helped her change, which she had never done before, and there was also her flushed cheeks when I tightened the tie of her dress…

Needless to say, I simply needed a walk to clear my mind after that, and perhaps Priscilla needed some time alone as well.

But alas, by lunch, I would expect that atmosphere to blow over… I hope… but to pass the time, I decided to check in on Subaru after his embarrassment at yesterday's ceremony.

"That aside… you said you had something to speak to me about?" I said, turning to face him as we both began walking in tandem.

"Indeed. I apologize for how quick it is, but I am taking Felt-sama back to my estate later today. As you said, with her declaration at the ceremony, she has made many possible enemies, and there is a need to begin planning the next steps for our camp. Thanks to your words with her upon your meeting, she seems to have gained a new dedication regarding her duties," he said with a smile. "On that note, do you wish to see her before we leave the capital?"

So Felt was taking it seriously… that was great to hear.

"No… there is no need," I said, my words causing Reinhard to lift his brow in surprise. "We have our entire lives to see each other, and I was able to confirm that she is happy and healthy even without my support. I can only ask you to keep looking after her for me."

"Of course… I was planning to do that regardless," he said with a smile.

We continued walking in silence for a few more moments… at least, until Reinhard decided to get into what was likely the heart of the reason he wanted to speak with me.

"Selian… about your and Felt-sama's past… were you originally part of the royal family?" he asked. "The former Fifth Prince Altair Lugunica-sama and Princess Aurelia Lugunica-sama, to be exact…"

I momentarily stopped in my tracks.

Right… I had already expected this after the look he gave me in the ceremony.

In fact, I was surprised he hadn't noticed it as soon as he met Felt and me in the slums that night.

"You… should already know the answer," I said as I continued walking forward.

"I see… then, may I ask why you left?" he said. "Did you perhaps… know of the disaster that would befall the royal family?"

"No, I didn't," I answered. "You know that I was the keeper of the Dragon Stone in my youth, correct? I simply followed a set of orders it gave me one day… that is all."

"I see…" Reinhard said, before he suddenly stepped in front of me, dropping to a knee as he bowed his head in respect. 

"What's… with this?" I asked, stopping once again.

"Selian-sama… no, Prince Altair-sama. While it may be disrespectful of someone of my standing as Felt-sama's knight… I believe that you should be the next ruler, or at least reveal yourself to the public as a possible candidate," he said, keeping his head bowed. "You are the legitimate child of the late king, and you are kind, strong, and sensible… I am sure that your ascension would quell all the unease that plagues this nation at the moment."

So it ended up like this… as I thought, revealing myself would be troublesome.

"Stop that, and lift your head," I ordered, watching as Reinhard looked up at me. "I… have long since left that behind. And besides, with the order for the royal selection in place, it's too late to change things. Now, I simply live for Priscilla, Felt, and the Barielle estate. I ask that you continue serving and supporting Felt, just as I do for Priscilla."

"Right… I suppose that I spoke out of turn. My apologies," Reinhard said with a grimace.

"There's no need. But please, get to your feet. I do not wish for you to treat me as former royalty, nor the brother of your master," I said, grabbing his arm and pulling him back to his feet. "Instead, I wish for you to treat me as a fellow knight… and did we not say we were friends? I would prefer to maintain that relationship instead."

His eyes widened, and with him now standing tall with his eyes meeting mine, he nodded with a happy smile.

"Right… yes, I would like that as well… Selian," he said.

Well… I guess that could have gone much worse.

I just hope that he would keep the little secret of my heritage to himself, and Felt's as well, for that matter.

Not like there would be an actual way to prove it, other than my words.

Anyway, with Reinhard seemingly in a good mood, likely from having the curiosity about Felt and I's origins cleared, we eventually made our way to the Karsten residence, and after briefly announcing the reason for our presence to the gate's guards, Subaru and Rem soon came out to greet us.

"Subaru… firstly, I apologize," Reinhard said, bowing his head. "As a fellow knight, and his friend, I am sorry for Julius' behaviour."

"Whoa, there's no need to apologize! None of it was your fault, after all!" Subaru said.

He seemed… normal.

But I could tell that it was nothing but an act.

It didn't take a genius of reading people like Priscilla to tell that much.

In fact, he seemed even worse than he did in the hall… that must be due to Emilia having left him behind.

"No, it is due to my own lack of virtue that I could not stop a disagreement between my two friends," Reinhard said, shaking his head. "That duel had no meaning."

Subaru flinched, his smile dropping from his face.

"No… meaning?" he voiced.

"Exactly. What was the outcome of such a fight?" Reinhard pressed. "You were hurt, and Julius was punished for his actions, so why not have a calm discussion-"

"Reinhard," Subaru said, interrupting him with his firm tone. "I get how you feel… you really are a nice guy… but I can't do that."

I… really didn't like that look in his eyes.

It seems that he still hadn't learned… well, I guess I should give him some guidance.

"Subaru… yesterday, you were not acting for Emilia-sama, but rather for yourself," I said sternly, causing his eyes to widen. "It was more than acceptable to speak up and defend her, but you needed to use your brain to do so. Challenging the knights' honour was petty, and by not focusing on Emilia-sama's strengths to change their minds, you only furthered embarrassed her. I would suggest you apologize, recognize your faults, and reflect on your actions before attempting to return to her side."

It seemed that I had hit the nail on the head, as Subaru twitched in frustration before suddenly turning around.

"Screw off… just leave. We're done here," he said before sauntering back inside past the smaller personnel gate before slamming it shut behind him.

Perhaps I was too harsh… but he needed something to force him to confront what exactly was wrong with his behaviour, so I don't think I did something bad.

But still… what a headache.

Releasing a sigh, I was about to turn and head back before Rem called out to me.

"Selian-sama, Reinhard-sama, Rem deeply apologizes in Subaru-kun's stead," she said, bowing her head.

"There's no need. It's fine," I said, shaking my head. "While Subaru is acting quite childish right now, he just needs some time to calm down and address his issues. I know that he can be quite cool rather than foolish, like he was yesterday."

Remembering his actions in the capital back when we first met, how he had the strength to help me against Elsa despite his weakness… it was obvious that there was a part of him that could act, as Julius would have put it, 'beautifully'.

"Yes… Rem agrees wholeheartedly," she said with a bashful smile.

Hmm… indeed, as I thought, from what I could tell from our few meetings… I liked this girl.

Not romantically, of course. That spot was reserved solely for Priscilla.

But rather, as a person, you could say.

"Well… I'm sure that with you supporting him, he can get back to normal… or perhaps even better than normal," I said, shaking my head. "But don't be easy on him. People like him need a kick in the ass to keep them in check… just like Priscilla does for me."

"O-Oh… thank you for the advice, Selian-sama," she said, her face turning red as she turned to head back inside.

Well… maybe I might have said a little too much.

"I see… you and Priscilla-sama truly have a touching relationship," Reinhard added.

I… did not need that reminder at the moment, but thank you, Reinhard.

—

A few days had passed since the ceremony of the royal selection, and Priscilla and I had still yet to return from the capital, mostly due to Priscilla wanting to remain in the manor for… some reason.

As I expected, the awkward atmosphere from the night of that… slightly erotic massage had dissipated, though I could tell it wasn't completely wiped from Priscilla's memory, as when I had briefly thought about bringing it up, she shut me down before I could speak with a smack from her fan.

Yeah… perhaps it was better that the experience remained as a memory for now.

And I doubt that I would be able to do such a thing with a clear mind again, so hopefully she wouldn't ask for such a thing again… at least, not until our relationship progressed a bit more.

Still, I was getting quite bored here away from the territory, and I could only imagine that it was the same if not worse for her… perhaps I should ask if Priscilla wanted to leave now?

"Priscilla… do you wish to head back to the estate?" I asked. "Now that the ceremony has been concluded, I assume there is no need for us to stay here any longer."

"Hmm… you are right about that, Selian…" she said, humming from her seat in the main reception hall of the manor.

To think that Leip would have created what amounted to a throne room in his manor… while it could be used for greeting nobles and holding parties, it was much too grand for a Baron to have in his second home. 

No, it was as if he was preparing for his ascension to the actual throne with his marriage to Priscilla.

Thankfully, that plan quickly fell through once I killed him.

Anyway, back to the matter at hand.

"If that is so, shall I go prepare the carriage? I had Schult enrolled with a few tutors here in the capital to supplement his education from me and the other servants, so I can either have him return with us, or remain here until his classes are finished," I said.

"Hmm… I would prefer that he learn some more, but in that case, will you be driving the carriage back?" she asked.

"If you wish for me to, then yes," I said. "But I can also arrange for someone else to drive us back."

"Hmm…" Priscilla hummed, crossing her legs as she tapped her lips with her finger.

But before she could come to a conclusion, the door to the hall opened as a maid hastily bowed her head.

"Excuse me, Priscilla-sama, Selian-sama, but there is a guest that has requested your presence," she said.

"A guest? Right now?" Priscilla said, turning to me at her side. "Selian, was there anyone that we expected at this time?"

"No… not that I believe," I said in confusion before nodding to the maid. "Do you know the identity of this guest? If not, describe them, if you could."

"Yes… he was around your age, with sharp eyes and short black hair, and was begging for an audience with you and Priscilla," she said. "And also… from what my meagre combat skills could attest… he was quite weak."

Oh… so it was Subaru.

"Do you know this boy?" Priscilla asked.

"Yes… you can let him in, if you wish," I said to her.

"Well, it is better than sitting here bored… he shall be allowed to be graced with my divine presence," she said, nodding to the maid.

"Understood, I shall let him in," the maid said, bowing her head as she left once more.

It only took a few minutes until the very boy in question appeared, walking past the large doors with his chin held high, until he suddenly dropped to his knees before us.

"Selian, Priscilla-sama, thank you for seeing me today," he said, looking up at us with determined eyes. 

Uh… what?

This… was Subaru?

That very same Subaru?

He… he seems to have changed quite a bit since the last time I saw him.

What could have happened in only a few days to cause such a thing?

"Hmph. State your name, commoner," Priscilla said with a huff.

"Uh… it's Natsuki Subaru," he said, looking at me with confusion.

Right…

"Selian… am I supposed to know this boy?" Priscilla asked as she looked up at me.

"Yes… you could say so. He was the one that made a fool of himself at the ceremony," I said, leaning down to whisper in her ear, for Subaru's sake. "The one who follows Emilia-sama and lost terribly in the duel afterwards."

"Ah… that one," she said with a face of disgust as she turned to face him. "If you were a member of my camp, I would have cut you down the moment you began that disgusting uproar. But it seems that you have grown a bit… so, why are you here?"

Subaru's eyes narrowed as the fist against his chest clenched, his face going through a myriad of emotion before he shook his head, taking a breath to look back up at us.

"Right… of course," he said, nodding his head. "Priscilla-sama, Selian… I have come to make a request for your aid… so please hear me out."
