Holy Kingdom – Counterattack (5)

The shabby room had nothing but a bed and a desk.

Lena sat at the desk, wiping her sword with a cloth.

Swish, swish, shhh-

Lena’s fingers slowly traced along the blade.

“They gave me a better sword than I expected.”

The sword Ian had prepared to replace her broken weapon during their escape. Its blade reflected light, revealing its sharpness.

“Huu… I guess I’ve done all the preparations I can.”

“Is this truly wise?”

“Eek?!”

At the low voice, Lena jumped in surprise and turned around to see Ian leaning against the door, having entered the room unnoticed.

“…How about basic courtesy like knocking before entering a woman’s room?”

“Do you still expect such courtesy from me?”

“Haa…”

Lena shook her head vigorously as if exasperated.

“So what brings you here so late at night? What about your preparations?”

“I finished my necessary preparations long ago.”

Pushing off from the door, Ian began slowly walking toward Lena.

“The appointment ceremony is just two days away. After that, we might not exist in this world anymore.”

“…You say such terrifying things so casually.”

At the chilling words, Lena smiled bitterly and bowed her head.

**

Ian studied Lena’s gloomy expression intently.

After a few seconds, Ian sensed a change in his body.

‘As expected.’

An impulse spreading from his heart. A subtle yet intense sensation gripped him.

“Lena.”

“Huh?”

“What did you do to me?”

“What are you…?”

As Ian approached with cold eyes, Lena panicked and began stepping backward.

-Thud

With her back against the wall and nowhere left to retreat, Lena looked up at Ian with a flustered expression.

“The big day is right before us. Why are you doing this again?”

“There’s something I must verify.”

“And you have to verify it like this?”

Instead of answering, Ian meticulously examined Lena’s facial features.

‘She is rather pretty.’

Ian didn’t deny finding Lena’s appearance attractive. But this felt strange.

“Every time I see you, I feel a peculiar urge. It feels artificial to dismiss it as simple affection or love.”

Everyone has sexual desires. Even Ian understood their necessity and the pleasure they brought.

Thus, he’d assumed all his actions until now stemmed from pent-up desire meeting an attractive woman.

‘But I shouldn’t react this strongly.’

Never before had he maintained interest in a woman after sexual relations. But Lena was different.

“Answer honestly. What trick did you play on me?”

“A-are you confessing to me right now? Have you gone mad?”

At the near love-confession-like question, Lena wore a dumbfounded expression.

“Do you think I can’t distinguish such things?”

Unfazed, Ian continued pressing Lena against the wall.

“Who’s behind you? Who orchestrated this? Tell me now.”

“What… There’s no one behind me. You’re really mistaken. There’s even a contract restriction in place.”

Though Lena’s pupils wavered, her answer was firm.

“…Is that so.”

Unexpectedly, Ian conceded and took a step back.

Lena couldn’t lie to Ian in the first place.

If she could, it would mean she’d hidden at least 8-star power while enduring all those hardships. An impossibility.

‘Then it must be one of two things.’

Either Ian was purely deluding himself and denying his strong feelings for Lena.

Or the force affecting him operated beyond his perception.

‘Could it be the Goddess?’

Intervention by a transcendent being was worth considering.

Though pure speculation, the idea of divine influence was quite plausible.

“Well, this is the Holy Kingdom after all.”

Lost in thought, Ian muttered to himself.

“Hmm…”

Thus, Ian failed to notice Lena smiling at him.

“Hey…”

Trapped between Ian and the wall, Lena cautiously spoke up.

“How long are we going to stay like this?”

“Well, no helping it. Pay the promised price.”

“Price?”

“You remember our agreement.”

After a moment’s thought, Lena looked at Ian in shock.

“A-are you serious? Right now?”

“Yes.”

Ian couldn’t discern the exact intentions of whatever force was manipulating him.

For now, using Lena was the only way to process these emotions.

“If I don’t know the cause of these feelings, I have no choice but to use you. You wouldn’t want my judgment clouded, would you?”

“Ha…”

A sigh laden with mixed emotions escaped Lena.

“…Fine. I can’t let our plan fail, and I did promise.”

“Good. A mutually beneficial decision.”

**

“Slurp… Ugh….”

Lewd sounds echoed through the room as Lena’s head bobbed up and down.

“Haaah…”

With Ian’s member deep in her throat, Lena swept her golden hair back behind her ears.

Her pure white nakedness fully exposed as she devoted herself to service.

Ian leaned against the foot of the bed, admiring the spectacle.

“Pwah! Haah, haah…”

After spitting out the hardened flesh, Lena caught her breath before immediately sticking out her tongue.

-Lick. Lick.

Starting from the blunt sac beneath the shaft, she meticulously cleaned every part with her tongue.

“You’re quite skilled.”

Ian murmured in satisfaction.

Pleasure traveled up his spine to his brain.

Until now, Ian had only relieved his desires with Lena while she slept. The sensation of voluntary service was on another level.

“Hmm…”

When Ian let out a satisfied moan, Lena looked up at him with annoyed eyes.

“You look quite displeased.”

Lena paused her service and wiped saliva from her mouth with her hand.

“It’s hilarious seeing a man like you react this way to my body. No matter how rational you pretend to be, you can’t resist lust after all?”

Lena flicked the rock-hard cock with her finger.

Despite her sarcasm, Ian’s expression remained serene.

“I’ll admit your face and body are acceptable. Moreover, I’ve been under considerable stress these past few days. Seeing the cause of it in this state is particularly satisfying.”

“Ha, sure. Whatever.”

Lena shook her head vigorously and resumed her service. Finishing quickly was preferable.

“Slurp… Gulp… Gag…”

Though nausea rose and her face flushed redder, Lena silently continued moving her lips and tongue.

Then Ian asked her a question.

“Have you considered my previous offer?”

“Hmm?”

“The contract. If you become my sex slave, I’ll guarantee your safety and a comfortable life. This time as a mutual contract. I’ll accommodate your requests as much as possible.”

“Pfft?!”

Lena spat out the cock in shock.

“Cough… That sex slave nonsense again. Do you think I or any other woman is your toy?”

“Well, I knew you’d refuse.”

Ian shrugged as if it didn’t matter and continued.

“Still, think carefully. You seem to still believe in the Hero, but objectively speaking, he abandoned you. Even if the Holy Kingdom deceived him, do you still have feelings for someone who did that to you?”

“…Everything will be resolved when the misunderstanding clears. Even if it doesn’t, I won’t come to you.”

Having flatly refused, Lena suddenly began climbing onto Ian who lay on the bed.

“Oh. More proactive than I expected.”

“I’d rather finish this quickly than keep listening to your nonsense. You never intended to be satisfied with just my mouth anyway.”

Her pink entrance tightly closed. Lena used her hands to spread herself open.

Then slowly lowered herself onto the erect shaft.

“Huu…”

Squeeeaak-

“Ngh… Uhh…”

The hardened cock gradually disappeared inside Lena.

-Schluck.

As the sizable member filled her completely, Lena panted from the stimulation and naturally placed her hands on Ian’s chest.

“Hnngh, haa…”

“Hmm… Surely you don’t plan to stop here?”

“Haa… Be quiet, ngh…”

“Wait a moment.”

Ian watched with satisfaction as Lena bit her lip and trembled. Despite his lecherous gaze, Lena was too overwhelmed by the stimulation to notice.

After a while, having somewhat adjusted to the sensation, Lena began moving her hips up and down.

Squelch, squelch, squeaak-

The cock repeatedly disappeared and reappeared inside Lena.

“Hn, huff… Ha…”

Sweat dripped from her flushed cheeks onto her collarbone, her ample breasts shaking with each ragged breath.

An unexpectedly sensual sight. Ian marveled at the spectacle.

“You moving like this… is more stimulating than I imagined.”

“Hnngh… Shut… up… haah.”

Embarrassed by the situation, Lena turned her head away. Yet she didn’t stop moving to satisfy Ian.

Squelch, squelch, squeaak-

“Haa… haa…”

“Ngh…”

Moans escaped Ian’s lips at Lena’s service.

“Ha… I’d love to show this sight to that Hero bastard.”

“Hnngh… Don’t… haah… mention Jade.”

“I wonder what expression he’d make seeing his lover like this.”

“Huu… You really… don’t know ‘moderation’.”

At the crossing of boundaries, Lena paused and glared at Ian.

“I’m going through this for our plan. Must you say such things now? Have you no consideration?”

“I’m serious. Don’t you resent the Hero who failed to save you?”

Despite Lena’s stern expression, Ian brought up Jade again.

Then Lena suddenly laughed mockingly while looking at Ian.

“Pfft. You seem quite interested in our Jade. But you know what? I wish Anni knew about your perverted tastes first.”

When his cherished younger sister’s name was mentioned, Ian’s face stiffened imperceptibly.

“…Tastes? That’s misleading. I’ve never done anything like this before. This is merely an occasional whim.”

“Hmm… If you say so.”

Though Ian tried to defend himself in panic, Lena pressed on relentlessly.

“You exploited his comrade’s situation to make a fraudulent contract. Blackmail and rape too. Wow. Anni would be so touched.”

“…We made a deal.”

“I admit you saved my life. But that doesn’t erase your wrongdoings.”

Ian felt little guilt for his actions, considering them rational transactions.

The problem was Anni’s personality – she’d never accept that explanation.

“Lena, you’re misunderstanding- Ngh?!”

Lena’s hand swiftly covered Ian’s mouth as he tried to explain again.

“Right. You’re not doing this because you want to? Then just cum quickly and finish.”
