My Kingdom Building Done Right!

Chapter 230: Human Touch [Part 1]

"So exhausting..." Leone could finally crawl to his bed a few hours after Maximus’ evolution.

The chieftains of the middle-ranked and high-ranking tribes had asked him for a bit of an explanation as to what had happened earlier.

He also talked to the Orcs and explained what had just happened. Logan and Khan listened in silence, while Rasta peppered him with questions.

The Orc Shaman kept on asking if Leone was the reincarnation of the Monster Sovereign, which the young man had to firmly deny again and again.

Then, after his meeting with the Orcs, he met up with the Kobolds. They decided to throw a celebration for Maximus’ evolution in the hidden valley where their new home was located.

Maximus didn’t turn down the Kobolds’ invitation, which made them feel overjoyed.

Since Maximus was there, Leone, Blitz, and Arion also attended the celebration. After a few hours, the young man finally bade them goodnight and returned to his house deep within the mountain.

"Hold still," Yuni said. "I’m taking off your shoes."

Leone no longer had the strength to do anything, so he simply laid down on the bed and let the young lady remove his shoes.

Yuni had waited until Leone returned because she promised that she would give him a massage.

"Why don’t you take a bath first so you will feel more refreshed before the massage?" Yuni proposed.

"Too tired," Leone answered. "Don’t want to get up."

"Fine." Yuni sighed. "Since that’s the case, take off your clothes then."

Leone propped himself up in a sitting position and took off his upper clothes.

Daedalus and Hassan had already separated themselves from Leone after he entered the house with Yuni.

Clearly, both of them knew how to read the mood, and they decided to give the two teenagers some privacy.

"Since you might be too sleepy to do it earlier, why don’t you take off your pants as well?" Yuni said calmly.

Leone hesitated, but realized that it would be impossible for Yuni to give him a full body massage if he was still wearing his pants.

’I’ll still be wearing my underwear, so it should still be safe...’ Leone mused before deciding to do what the young lady had said.

With that, he took off his pants and folded them properly before handing it to Yuni.

Now that he was free from his clothes, he laid face down on the bed and closed his eyes as he simply waited for the massage to start.

Yuni then held Leone’s right foot and applied a bit of pressure on his sole using her fingers.

That act alone made Leone sigh. His feet had been killing him as of late since he had to walk all over the place.

Once both feet were done, Yuni then poured a small amount of massage oil in her hands. This special massage oil was bought by Leone from the Arcane Shop earlier, and it carried a fresh minty scent.

As Yuni rubbed it onto Leone’s calves, a pleasant warmth began to spread through his tired muscles. She then started her massage, making sure to do it properly.

"How is the pressure?" Yuni asked.

"Good."

"Do you want it harder?"

"Just a little."

"Like this?" Yuni asked, applying a bit more pressure to her massage.

"That’s perfect." Leone sighed. "You’re very good with your hands."

"Mmm." Yuni hummed as she continued to give him a massage.

The young man had been working hard recently, so she decided to give him a reward. She massaged his tired and aching muscles, making Leone sigh from time to time from the relief it brought.

Once his legs were done, Yuni finally moved to Leone’s back.

She poured a bit of oil on his back before using her hands to spread it. When she started applying pressure on her hands, Leone immediately felt the tension in his body beginning to melt away.

A comfortable warmth soon spread throughout his back as Yuni slowly kneaded his muscles.

"It looks like you’ve been training properly," Yuni stated. "Your muscles look more manly now, unlike the time when you first appeared here."

"Sorry for being an exiled spoiled noble," Leone replied.

Yuni only smirked at Leone’s reply. Since she had seen Leone take a bath in the underground river during the early days of the Alborin Tribe, she had seen his body.

The young man didn’t have an ounce of muscle that attracted warriors like her. Sure, Leone might have a good looking face, but good looks were not enough to survive in the Borderlands.

But now, Yuni found his current body very attractive.

Her fingers moved from his shoulders down to the center of his back, carefully adding pressure to the places that she believed needed more attention.

Every time Yuni found a particularly sore spot and applied pressure to it, the young man would release a long sigh.

"You have a lot of tense muscles here," Yuni commented.

"That’s because I’ve been carrying an entire tribe on my shoulders," Leone replied calmly.

"You make it sound like you’re carrying the entire world." Yuni smiled faintly.

"Indeed." Leone agreed. "Sometimes, I do think that way. However, I have no regrets."

For a brief moment, silence passed between the two of them, with only the sound of their faint breathing being heard inside the room.

The one who broke this silence was none other than the young lady, who decided to tell Leone something she heard from Kael earlier.

"During your meeting with the Grimhowl Tribe, I heard you told them that I was your woman. Is that true?" Yuni asked.

This wasn’t the first time Leone had made this statement. When Ragan and Varus had tried to take her as part of their tribute, Leone stated to them that she was his woman.

She then remembered what Kael had told her a while ago.

————-

"You should have seen Leone earlier," Kael said with a mischievous smirk on his face. "When Elias asked if he could make a move on you, he said ’Yuni is my woman!’."

"Of course, he said the same thing when Elias referred to Aria. Hah... if looks could kill, Elias might have already died a thousand times once he hinted that he wanted to make a move on my granddaughter."

————

Kael was prone to exaggeration, especially when it came to Aria. This was why Yuni only half-believed him when he stated that Leone also said that Aria was his woman.

The young lady felt Leone’s body tense up after hearing his question. Though, this only lasted for a little while before she heard his reply.

"I did," Leone replied.

"Do you mean it?" Yuni inquired.

"I do."

"Really?"

"Really."

Leone’s voice was firm, which made him look more manly in Yuni’s eyes.

Fortunately, he was lying face down, or he might have seen the tinge of red that was slowly spreading on the young lady’s face.

Feeling a little embarrassed after hearing his reply, she put all her attention into massaging, making Leone feel so good that he almost drifted off to sleep.

His eyes were feeling heavy to the point where he could fall asleep at any moment. That was when Yuni’s voice reached his ears.

"Excuse me for a bit."

The young man felt a pair of hands move to lower his underwear a bit.

A moment later, he felt a pair of hands knead his glutes, blowing away all the sleepiness that was about to descend on him.

It was then that Yuni felt something. She didn’t know if it was the side effect of the massage oil or not because Leone’s body was starting to heat up.

Thinking that it was only due to the massage oil, Yuni continued to massage Leone’s glutes with utmost devotion.

Feeling she would need to add a bit more pressure, she then pressed her knees over them and started to move it in a circular motion.

It was then when Leone’s face became flushed. Stimulated, his little lion was starting to raise its head from its slumber.

The only saving grace was that Yuni was unable to see the little guy. It also helped that she was too focused on doing her best to make Leone feel good.

For a while, the young man endured this bittersweet feeling, up until Yuni finished massaging his hips and back.

"Okay, flip over for me," Yuni said.

Leone didn’t move right away.

His little lion was still raring its head, and the moment he flipped over, he would no longer be able to hide it.

"What’s wrong?" Yuni frowned because Leone was not moving.

"Um... give me a minute please," Leone replied. "Something needs to calm down first."

"What are you talking about?" Yuni had no plans on waiting and placed her hands on Leone’s shoulder. "Just flip over already."

Using her strength, the young lady managed to move Leone according to her wish.

A triumphant look appeared on her face in response because she managed to move him with her own strength.

However, that triumphant expression didn’t last long.

Why?

That was because the moment Leone was turned over, Yuni got a clear look at his face.

He was blushing. His entire face was red. Then, for some reason, Yuni’s gaze landed on the bulging tent on his lower abdomen.

The young lady blinked once, then twice before realization dawned upon her.

Yuni glanced at it one more time before picking up the blanket beside her and covering him up.

She then put some oil in her hands and started to massage Leone’s shoulder.

Since the young man could now see her face, he noticed that Yuni’s face had also turned beet red.

"Yuni..."

"I understand."

"You’re not angry?"

"No."

Yuni was not angry. She was just surprised.

However, she wasn’t a naive child to not understand why Leone’s little lion had reacted that way.

To her surprise, she realized that a part of her was happy because he reacted to her in that manner.

She was not aware that the more Leone looked at her blushing face, the more he realized that Yuni also had a cute side that he was only seeing for the first time ever since the two of them had met each other.
