Chapter 430: Unexpected Chance eting: Part 2
Third Person POV–
「Please wait here.」
「Hmph, I expected to listen to the delightful sound of the waves with this being a port city, instead I get confined in a basent with four walls around .」
The room which Sekrit and the man entered was a secret space under the inn.
A sturdy tal door without a keyhole protected the room, creating a completely sealed environnt once closed.
「My apologies. This is just a precaution to prevent unwanted guests from intruding.」
Sekrit plops herself on a chair in front of the man who gives an honest explanation, then waves her hand as if to brush him off, before making a comnt herself.
「Don’t address my complaints so seriously. Your damn serious personality hasn’t changed at all――Rehercles.」
Rehercles―― the man whose na was called, lowers his head slightly.
「Your Excellency Sekrit hasn’t changed either. This seriousness is because I am fearful of Your Excellency’s fury, I hope you can understand.」
「What an impudent guy. More importantly, I’m intrigued by the package in the corner.」
Rehercles bows politely, then lines up a bottle and glass on the table.
「This is Your Excellency’s favorite brandy from Koruha. Please use this to pass the ti.」
Sekrit snickers, acknowledging the fine liquor prepared by the man, then takes a whiff of the poured liquid before putting her lips to the glass.
「How long has it been since you poured my drink? Right before the great battle?」
Sekrit fills the emptied glass back up and slides it across the table.
「Unfortunately, I was dismissed from my position as Your Excellency’s staff officer during the restructuring prior to the battle...... thank you.」
「The lot in headquarters were a bunch of idiots. I thought things would be better if you joined. Anyways, you should be thankful. If you were with on the Leviathan, you’d be blown to pieces by now.」
Rehercles smiles sheepishly as he re-fills the glass, then slides it back across the table.
「I was certain of our defeat in the great battle when the report of the Leviathan sinking ca in, although it’s a bit late to bring it up now.」
「Kuku, I sank it several months ago, so it’s already a tattered ss.」
Sekrit reaches for the sliding glass with her prosthetic arm, but fails to catch it and switches to her right hand instead.
「......your arm, was it from the ship sinking?」
「That’s from sothing different. Wouldn’t you say it’s well-made?」
Sekrit grabs the glass with her left arm.
「It’s the most elaborate artificial arm I’ve ever seen. It’s surprising to know such a skilled craftsman exists here in the remote Central plains.」
Rehercles admires the workmanship of the arm with an expression of awe.
Sekrit humors herself with how uncomfortable the man seed to find the atmosphere, then picks up the glass with her right hand again.
「So, what are you doing and where――」
「He’s acting as my staff officer.」
The door was sowhat violently opened and a giant lumbered forward.
It was Zaphnes, who appeared to be wearing plain clothes that an affluent rchant would wear.
Rehercles imdiately stands at attention, while Sekrit’s smiling face transforms into a bored, uninterested expression.
「It’s been a while, Sekrit.」
「Mn. Yeah.」
Zaphnes jerks his chin to ask for the alcohol and glass to be cleaned up.
He doesn’t notice Sekrit clicking her tongue softly.
「That’s quite the sorry state you’re in. Without one arm, you probably can’t walk properly.」
「Is that how it looks?」
Sekrit gives a half-hearted reply, not feeling in the mood to argue.
「I investigated your present circumstances. It seems you’re being kept around by Goldonia and dragged from battle to battle by Goldonia.」
「......yeah.」
Zaphnes doesn’t notice the growing annoyance in the woman’s tone.
「Moreover, your owner is so feudal lord on the border...... whom I haven’t heard any good rumors about. This is quite the deep valley for a commander-in-chief of the Federation to have fallen into. It’s worse than a feudal lord becoming a beggar.」
「......nn.」
Sekrit gives a terse reply, devoid of any emotion.
Zaphnes grins and then boldly slaps his own lap.
「On that point, I still have better standing. I’m the supre commander of the South Yuguria Empire gradually taking over the Central plains!」
Zaphnes puffs out his chest proudly.
Having improved his mood, he requests so alcohol from Rehercles.
「Not this. Give wine of better quality.」
After rejecting the brandy, Zaphnes uncorks a bottle of wine, drinking directly from the bottle before offering so to Sekrit, which she doesn’t touch.
「As the supre commander, I am one who succeeds the Emperor...... no, you can say that I wield power exceeding that of the Emperor/ I can order the entire army of South Yuguria――」
Sekrit interjects the boasting of the talkative Zaphnes.
「Well, isn’t South Yuguria in quite the predicant?」
That one statent stopped Zaphnes from continuing his fervent speech and froze the air.
Sekrit paused briefly to enjoy the air that beca several degrees cooler, then went on.
「You probably wanted to do the large scale surround you’re so proud of, but the frontal battlefield is stalled out from the repeated draws, the east’s offensive has collapsed, and the destruction of the navy has turned the western army into a useless bunch of soldiers. With such heavy losses, you’re forced to learn the hard way and supplent your army with a mishmash of amateurs. Fortunately for you, there is no risk of freezing to death in the Central plains.」
Zaphnes pounds the table and glares at Sekrit, but takes a deep breath and adjusts himself in his chair.
「Although the battle is at a stalemate, it doesn’t change the fact we’re the ones pushing forward. We’re already at the doorstep of Goldonia’s capital. I acknowledge the defeat in the east hurts, but that was only strategic insurance. We can manage without it. I’ll also withdraw the western army when I get the chance...... and you were the one who helped with the navy’s annihilation!」
Zaphnes started softly and gradually increased in volu as anger built up.
On the other hand, Sekrit seed satisfied with his attitude.
「Kukuku, I’m rely a pathetic pet dog right now. If my owner orders it, I can only listen.」
Sekrit rises from her seat, walks over to the corner of the room where the bottle of brandy was moved and drinks directly from it.
Rehercles beca terribly troubled.
Zaphnes stomps his foot in irritation, but calms himself down and clasps his hands together on top of the table.
「......let’s stop the idle chatter and move on to the real issue. When will you co over to my side?」
The atmosphere becos tense.
Zaphnes stared straight at Sekrit, anwhile she quietly put the bottle of brandy back on the table.
「What do you an?」
「I told you. I have essentially obtained the highest standing in South Yuguria. The Empress is also under my control. 」
Zaphnes might have been exaggerating a little, yet it doesn’t stop Sekrit from sidestepping.
「So what?」
Zaphnes leans his body over the table and grabs Sekrit’s right hand.
Her face scrunches in disgust, though she found it too botherso to shake him off.
「I know you have nowhere to go after drifting away from the Empire. Moreover, you probably can’t get a decent job with only one arm. Weren’t you taken advantage of because of that and forced to work hard?」
「If that’s what you think, then maybe.」
Zaphnes tightens his grip.
「If you co to South Yuguria...... to my side, you won’t need to worry anymore. I know, more than anyone, about your talents. I’ll make you my imdiate staff officer or adjutant. You don’t have to be the dog of so feudal lord.」
「That’s appreciated. So, what will you have do in return?」
Zaphnes rubs the hand of the emotionless Sekrit.
「You’ll work as my subordinate during in the day...... and be my lover at night.」
Zaphnes continues in spite of Sekrit’s small sigh.
「Of course, I’ll be saving you, so you’ll treat as your master. I’ll ask for your obedience, service, and you may be required to do acts that are humiliating to you. Every nook and cranny of your body will belong to .」
Zaphnes’s face relaxed after he was done speaking in a serious tone.
「Considering the relationship we have, it’s plausible that when the battle is over, you’ll bear my child.」
「......I see.」
Sekrit acts like she’s contemplating the request.
Zaphnes leans further forward, his eyes shining with hope.
A soft exhale of breath could be heard.
「I’ll pass.」
Zaphnes’s huge body shakes, his expression clearly showing genuine shock.
「Why!? You’ll be guaranteed a life without any discomfort! There’s no way you’re a virgin, I an, there are rumors of you using that dark-skinned body on those old fools to rise up in ranks during your days in the Empire――」
Before he could finish, Sekrit rests her feet on the table and smiles.
The alcohol bottle gets knocked to the floor. It was an attitude that said she will no longer be polite.
A malicious smile forms on her beautiful face.
「You know my owner, Hardlett, don’t you?」
「Know him!? He’s a barbaric feudal lord who my army calls a demon. There are no good rumors about him!」
Sekrit nods contently before continuing.
「After the Leviathan sunk, I was captured by him. Since then, he kept violating for months on end, day and night. My body and heart submitted to him...... then I was taken to Goldonia.」
「What...... the-」
Zaphnes’s eyes widen. His lips tremble and he can’t hide his agitation.
「His dick is over 1 m long too. The first ti, he tore my hole to shreds. After that, he would fuck at least ten tis every day and have drink all the fluids I excreted without leaving a single drop.」
Sekrit licks her lips.
Zaphnes was speechless and could only stare blankly.
「He put a collar and chain on , walked around town and had lift up one leg to pee. When I couldn’t take the insults and ran――」
She shows off her prosthetic arm.
「T-that perverted demon...... how dare he...... how dare he do that to my......」
Sekrit chuckles and stands up.
「Through violence and sha, he dominated all the way down to my heart, and I yielded. I can’t think of any other man except for him.」
「W-wait! I’ve loved you for a long――」
Sekrit gives a sad smile as she places her hand on the door.
「The Sekrit you love has died. Right now, if that man orders it, I would happily kill you. ......farewell, Zaphnes.」
Sekrit exits the underground room with Zaphnes standing stock still and climbs up the stairs.
She takes one step, then another, and as she gets closer to the surface, her sad face warps into a mischievous smile.
A dull thud and a groan cos out from the basent.
No sound was supposed to leak from the room, so it must have co from a very drastic action like the hurling of a table across the room and a bestial growl.
「Kufu...... kuku...... did I go too far? However, this way Zaphnes won’t compromise and will co at full force. He will fight hard without making strategic decisions...... it’ll be fun.」
Sekrit strokes her artificial arm in a trance-like state.
–Aegir POV–
A Few Hours Later. A Certain Bar.
I drink my alcohol single-mindedly in disappointnt.
「......what am I doing?」
I couldn’t resist when the city guards captured because I was fearful of causing a fuss.
I obediently let myself be placed in prison and when the guards left, I pulled apart the rusted iron bars and escaped, but by that ti, Sekrit and the handso man had already disappeared into the inn for several hours.
I couldn’t barge in myself, so I gave so gold to a young man to go ask for , and when he ca back, he told all the rooms were empty.
「In other words, it was already over......and I don’t know where they could have gone.」
A few hours of chaos is plenty of ti for the good-looking guy to pour his seed into Sekrit’s womb.
And once seed enters the woman’s womb, she’ll gradually lower her guard.
「Maybe they’re back in the inn...... or perhaps they’re enjoying the thrill of the outdoors.」
Jealousy is welling up, but I can’t do anything if their whereabouts are unknown.
The pathetic man who was stolen from can only trust in the woman to return and drown his cares with drinks.
I take the strongest alcohol and gulp it down undiluted.
As the burning sensation in my stomach takes over my mind, I feel a hand rest on my shoulder.
Is that a guard who followed ? I have no reason to stay quiet now so I’m going to punch him.
「Move over.」
It wasn’t a guard who appeared.
It was a tall man close to 2 m in height who was wearing high-quality casual clothes like a rchant would, but I could sll blood.
I’m really not in the mood to be questioned.
The giant pushes and forces himself into a seat.
Annoyed, I thought about raising a complaint......
「Give your strongest drink. Don’t use this cheap glass, give a stein.」
He chugs from the stein after it was filled to the brim.
「Damn, that woman!!」
In a few seconds, he empties the stein and slams it down onto the counter.
It was quite clear from how he drank that he was not in a cheerful mood.
「Sounds like you’re having a rough ti. What’s wrong?」
Instead of complaining, I ask him to explain his circumstances.
「......the damn woman who should have been in love with has lost her mind. I even offered her a wonderful life, yet she can’t get away from the savage man ruling over her!」
The man requests for his drink to be refilled. I do the sa.
Wow, this guy is in a similar situation as .
「I’m experiencing sothing like that myself. So pretty boy snatched away my lover...... it’s uncool to criticise the woman though.」
He scowls at .
In the midst of the blood scent, I sense a blackness that Leopolt emits occasionally.
I knew he didn’t resemble a rchant...... well, whatever.
「Hmph. I don’t want to be consoled by a miserable man like you.」
「Tch, I can’t deny that, but you’re not one to talk either.」
Although he bares his canines and assaults with fearso blood lust, I’m not soft enough to be scared of that.
「......you’re tough, huh? I like you. Drink.」
The giant places the store’s highest grade of alcohol in front of .
「I’m not penniless. I can pay for my own drinks.」
I have no reason to let a passing man treat .
「No need to hold back. I may not look it, but I have quite the standing. I can easily buy this kind of alcohol by the barrel.」
「Is that so...... well, so can I. I’m a noble with a vast domain.」
We stare at each other for a few seconds, then burst out laughing.
「How many nobles, ministers and commanders does that make it today? Here, I’m in a good mood.」
The barkeep chuckles and fills our cups.
We summarize and share our stories with each other.
After hearing my story, the big man laughs.
He especially found the part where I punched the guard and got captured by the city guards hilarious.
I prepared myself, thinking I would get a good laugh from his story in return, but that was not the case.
「The tale I have is nothing that interesting. My woman...... she was supposed to fall for and eventually be with , but she was taken away by a bad man.」
「Hoh. It doesn’t seem she was kidnapped since you could talk to her though.」
My words seem to trigger a genuine blood lust to spill out from the man.
「That evil man paraded her around town with a collar around her neck, forced shit down her throat, and cut her arm off when she tried to run. Her heart broke because of that...... and now she does whatever he wants.」
I grip my stein so tightly that I end up crushing it.
Imagining sothing like that makes want to puke.
「A piece of trash like that actually exists?」
「Yeah, he’s a soldier of Goldonia. With how things are currently, I can’t exactly act freely...... however, I swear to find him and rip him to pieces.」
Who would have thought scum like that lived in Goldonia...... in peaceful tis, I would have searched between blades of grass to find him, beat him up, then rescued the woman, but it’s impossible during war to conduct such an operation within the military.
「I agree. He doesn’t have the right to live. Still, no matter what, you can’t speak ill of won.」
「Even if she obeys garbage?」
I nod.
「You’re too lenient. One day, you’ll be ruined by won.」
「That would be fine.」
I don’t think it’ll ever happen, but I wouldn’t mind if Nonna or Celia killed in my sleep.
To die at the hands of a beautiful woman is a hundred tis better than dying a peaceful death.
「I am not that much of an idiot. However, I don’t hate people like you......it’s getting dark. I better head back.」
The man empties his stein and gets up to leave the store.
「What’s your na?」
Believing this encounter to be so sort of fate, I ask him for his na.
「......you can call Zaphnes. And you?」
Hm, the na sounds familiar. I can’t rember after all those drinks I had.
「I’m Aegir.」
He snorts, saying how pretentious my na sounded.
Before turning around, he throws enough money to cover the two of us and exits the shop.
「Hey, I don’t want to be treated by a fellow cuckold.」
By the ti I complained, the man was no longer there. I’ll have to accept this whether I like it or not.
「I should go back too...... no.」
I might have gotten carried away and drank too much.
Although I can still walk, I feel dizzy, and during warti, I shouldn’t be walking alone at night with such a high risk of being assassinated.
「I’ll pick an inn to stay the night.」
Once I step onto the road, I walk into the first inn I laid eyes on.
It’s an inn sowhere in the upper-middle tier. A luxurious place isn’t necessary if I simply want to sober up and it’s not a dirty place where I have to worry about getting eaten by fleas or lice.
I enter the relatively quiet establishnt, and then roll onto the bed without washing my body.
My eyes close and I picture Sekrit moaning as she rocks her hips on top of the handso man.
“More...... more! Fuck harder!”
“Like this? How’s that?”
“Aaah! You’re bigger than him! My pussy’s being torn apart!”
「The day is drawing to a close. Please stay here for now, Your Excellency.」
「How sensible of you to even prepare an inn for , but there’s no point to devoting yourself this far after I rejected Zaphnes’s offer.」
The voice of Sekrit in my mind sounds so real.
“Do you like it here? It’s rubbing a good place, right?”
“Uuu! So far back...... you’re stretching my insides!”
「To Your Excellency whom I’m indebted to, it’s natural―― please forgive .」
「――I see. So it’s like that......how careless of .」
The Sekrit in my imagination falls down and crawls on the floor.
Her ass gets grabbed by the man and then he plunges his ter-long dick inside.
She lets out an incredible shriek and her asshole gradually conforms to the shape of his penis.
“Fufufu, your vagina and asshole belong to now. Next is your mouth.”
“I-I’m being dominated! My entire body is changing to fit you...... that man is fading away......”
As Sekrit entwined her body with the man and moved around the room, there was a shriek and various clattering sounds......
「Your Excellency, I hope you’re ready!」
「Tch!」
No, these sounds are not from my dream.
People are actually rampaging on the second floor.
「Uugh!」
I hear sothing hit the ground and a woman scream. The familiar voice is Sekrit without a doubt.
「What good fortune!」
I shake away the drunkenness and get up.
Sekrit is having sex on the second floor of this inn.
Now is my only chance to attack and take her back.
I climb up the stairs like a whirlwind and open the door of the room on the upper floor.
It was locked, but I twisted the knob off and burst through.
As I pictured, Sekrit was in the room, lying face up on the bed with the handso man leaning over her.
Both of them are grunting like they were in an intense grappling match, their clothes were disheveled like they ca out of a life-or-death struggle, and their faces were flushed.
「Nuun! Am I too late!?」
I couldn’t help shouting, making my presence known to the two of them.
「Fuu, luck hasn’t left yet.」
「Why the hell are you here!?」
It took a mont for to grasp the situation accurately.
If the two of them were making love at the height of arousal, Sekrit would have told not to interfere, and I would have had to watch pathetically in the corner.
However, Sekrit clearly had her right hand pushed out in rejection and her left hand was holding a knife. No matter how I look at it, things were not consensual.
「Hey, save .」
I leapt into action as soon as those words left Sekrit’s mouth.
「What are you doing to my woman, rape fiend!」
「I’ll take care of you here――」
He surprisingly had a dagger in his hand.
Enraged over what kind of play he was thinking of doing with Sekrit, I grabbed a pillow off the floor and intercepted the blade with it.
「Uwah!」
Although it was made with buckwheat chaff, I was able to block the knife easily with a full-powered hit.
The cloth tears and the pillow’s contents spray the man’s face, obstructing his view.
「You’re going to return Sekrit to .」
I swing my fist, not at his unguarded solar plexus...... but I deliberately sink my fist into his cheek.
The man bounces into a small table, crashes into a wall and breaks the wooden boards, his head hanging over to the adjacent room.
That wasn’t enough to kill him, but at least his proud face will swell up and beco less attractive.
Sekrit will be disillusioned and she should return to my side.
「There are more of them.」
Sekrit equips her prosthetic arm, her clothes still a ss.
What does she an ‘more’?
My question was answered before it was asked as guests entered from the neighboring room.
I thought they were going to complain about all the noise, however everyone simply approached silently, drawing the swords at their hips in one continuous motion.
「Their intention was to not let return alive if I refused.」
Sekrit mutters, and I quickly comprehend the reason for such a situation.
「I see, that’s how it is.」
I positioned my back to Sekrit’s back so I could cover her rear.
「So the pretty boy was used as bait to lure you here where all his friends could gang rape you? Vile scum.」
「Haah?」
Soone let out an incredulous shout behind , but I have no ti to worry.
This isn’t an affair, Sekrit was deceived.
「This ans no rcy. I’ll send you all to hell.」
I’m up against five opponents and I’m unard, still, I can’t back down.
Fortunately, the room is small enough that only two people can attack together at most.
「Seiyah!」
One of them attacks first.
When I crossed my arms over my head to guard, the man lunged forward, aiming at my heart.
I don’t know if he underestimates because I’m weaponless, but his movents are monotonous.
Although his thrust is powerful, it’s easy to avoid.
I twist my body right before the sword touches , causing it to slip off the surface of my clothes.
「Oh no!」
If he stumbles after his attack missed, it would definitely be fatal for him.
「That’s one down.」
I lift up the man by his arm and belt, then slam his head against the hardest thing in the room...... against the bricks of the fireplace. It makes a splat sound as his head cracks open.
「We’re not done yet!」
A second enemy cos at .
He’s smarter than the first guy and goes for a downward slash.
It is certainly difficult for a barehanded opponent to deal with a running slash.
His mistake was that he didn’t see what I was holding in my left hand behind my back.
「Here, it’s tasty.」
I wind up and throw the apple at him hard.
「Gah!?」
The fruit lands on his face with a thud. It explodes on contact and pieces scatter everywhere.
I picked a green one which looked the most unripe so I’m sure it packed a punch.
It seems I didn’t have to finish him off.
The man’s nose caved into his face and he fell down with blood dripping out from his ears and mouth.
「Let’s do it together!!」
「Yeah!」
Two of them attack at once this ti.
I move backwards while evading their slashes, then put my hand on the bed.
Thinking they have cornered, they smile, but those smiles quickly froze over in the next mont.
It was because I lifted up the entire bed.
「Take this!」
The beds in this inn were good quality and felt like they weighed at least 100 kgs.
I throw the bed at the two n standing with their mouths open.
They failed to catch it and were both sent flying into the wall, letting out a croak before getting pinned tightly by the bed and rendered immobile.
「I-I have to report――」
The last man rushes out of the room.
I don’t leave the room, instead I focus on the wall facing the corridor.
「Hmp!」
「Gyaa!?」
With a grunt, I push my hands out through the wall, opening two holes in the wooden panel.
My hands precisely grab the fleeing man and snap his neck.
「Fuu...... all cleaned up.」
I look over and see Sekrit say sothing to the unconscious man lying partially in the adjacent room.
「I’ve really gotten lax. I let my guard down because you were a forr subordinate. This is most likely your own decision, right? You’re serious after all. You must have wanted to save face for Zaphnes.」
Sekrit raises the knife she’s holding.
However, I interrupt her with my lips.
「Gmmu! What are you doing!?」
I ignore her resistance and continue kissing her, touching her body as well.
I’m going to appeal to Sekrit with my manliness and revive her feelings for
「You didn’t say anything and ran off because I was lacking charm! Knowing he was such a weak man, you’re better off with though. If he’s this weak, his dick must also be small, right? His proud face is also beaten up. I’m more handso than he is now.」
「What are you babbling about?」
I notice Sekrit start looking fed up and I hear soone climbing up the stairs of the inn.
Those steel shoes are unmistakably the city guards.
Having broken out from prison, it isn’t good for to et them.
「We’re running.」
I hug Sekrit and jump out the window.
「We’re going back to Patena. Before that, once we get away from this city, I’m going to take you into a bush and fuck you. I’ll change your body back to my shape.」
「Nothing went inside , but do as you want.」
Sekrit mumbles sothing in my arms.
「Farewell, Empire...... and half of my life.」
I pretend I didn’t hear anything.
