Chapter 95🔞

Hexion remained kneeling as he looked up at Shin Joo. The woman’s foot resting on his thigh was so small it seemed it could fit entirely in one hand.

As he traced the smooth line of her calf with his fingertips and kissed her exposed knee, he felt her delicate body tremble slightly.

“Hexion, um…”

Though she called his name with apparent embarrassment, Hexion sensed no rejection from her.

He didn’t dislike her honest responses to desire.

Shin Joo was a sensual woman. Especially in how she stirred feelings in Hexion, who until now had shown no interest in carnal matters.

‘I should have done this for her sooner.’

The reason he had pretended not to notice when she teased him with an innocent face or awkwardly attempted to seduce him with confidence was because he feared she might leave if he gave her what she wanted too easily.

Hexion didn’t want to be abandoned by her. That’s why he had wanted to maintain distance and take things step by step.

Perhaps he had even enjoyed it. When he pretended not to notice and pushed her away, Shin Joo would tremble with frustration but then try again to attract his attention. He felt a ticklish excitement in his chest at the sight.

No one else in the temple received her attention, but Hexion held a different position from them. He might have felt somewhat proud of that. Perhaps that’s why he had been too complacent.

If he had known beforehand that the admiral and the demon leader would catch Shin Joo’s eye—rather than the temple priests or holy knights—he would have immersed her in pleasure from the beginning so she couldn’t look at anyone but him.

“Shin Joo. Does this make you uncomfortable?”

“No. It’s not uncomfortable, but…”

“Then may I continue?”

“…Ugh, don’t ask such things!”

Shin Joo snapped with a bright red face, then immediately made a tearful expression and turned her head. Her hesitant hand grabbed her raised skirt and pulled it up enough to reveal her underwear.

“You don’t need to ask, you know.”

What she desired.

Though her words and expression showed such embarrassment, her body was so faithful to desire. She was truly a contradictory being.

But for Hexion, who had decided to serve her as his lifelong master, it was a trivial contradiction he barely noticed.

He reached for her inner thigh and grabbed the soft, white flesh. The sound of rustling fabric covered the man’s head.

The white female body revealed beneath the flowing thin cloth. Imagining her g*nitals hidden behind the slightly stained underwear, he felt a dull ache below his waist.

“Shin Joo. I can smell you.”

“What? D-don’t smell that… ah!”

When he extended his head and rubbed his nose against her underwear, the sweet scent instantly intensified. Hexion stuck out his tongue and licked the stained part of the cloth.

Thirsting for more of the sweet smell, he lifted her thigh onto his shoulder and buried his nose in the smooth white cloth.

With a squeak, Shin Joo staggered. With one leg draped over the man’s shoulder and standing awkwardly, she tried to grab Hexion’s head but couldn’t because it was already covered by her skirt. Her confused fingertips created wrinkles on the white cloth.

“Shin Joo. Leave everything to me.”

Hexion opened his mouth wide and took her s*x into his mouth, underwear and all, and sucked hard. The underwear that had started to become slightly damp instantly became soaked. The plump thigh touching his cheek trembled nervously.

Listening to the intermittent moans from above his head, Hexion savored the woman’s fluids, excited by him.

He had never enjoyed the taste of food before, but Shin Joo’s bodily fluids tasted good.

Addictively so.

“Ah, Hexion, the bed, let’s go to the bed…!”

As she kept trying to sit down because her legs were trembling, he firmly grabbed her b*ttocks, and Shin Joo urgently embraced his head. But Hexion didn’t move.

“I’ll do it like this.”

Hexion had also felt excessive stimulation the previous day. If they were to continue their intimacy today, he wasn’t confident he could avoid being too rough with her.

Besides, hadn’t Shin Joo already engaged in intimacy for days in a row? Even if her body was immune to disease, injuries remained. Hexion remembered how her delicate, narrow insides had struggled to accommodate his large member.

“Ahh!”

When he pushed aside her underwear and inserted his tongue into the narrow crevice, her cries grew louder. The thigh on his shoulder trembled repeatedly, and soon her small foot began tapping his back.

It was an ambiguous response—he couldn’t tell if she wanted him to stop or continue—but Hexion was no longer confused.

He traced her perineum with his thumb, slightly parted the entrance to her v*gina, and drank in all the flowing liquid. The fluid was so slippery that the sound of drinking was somewhat loud, causing her to make a sobbing noise.

“Ah, ahh, Hexion! Wait…!”

After her lower abdomen trembled, the slender leg standing on the floor tensed up. When he rubbed the upper part of the indented crevice with his tongue, a sour smell wafted up.

“No, wait! Hexion, wait…!”

Shin Joo urgently tried to push his head away. Hexion paid no attention and used his mouth to remove the sticky cloth. He could see the red s*x pulsating and contracting rapidly.

When he placed his tongue against the tiny hole that appeared as just a dot and rubbed it, her delicate hand struck the back of his head.

“Wait, Hexion! Wait!”

“You drank tea this afternoon, didn’t you?”

“Please, please just a moment…!”

Feeling the urge to urinate, Shin Joo desperately tried to push his head away. Her restraining voice was filled with shame.

Even facing a woman pushing him away with her whole body, Hexion didn’t budge.

Because he knew she wasn’t rejecting him out of dislike, but simply because she didn’t want to reveal a shameful appearance.

“Shin Joo. I am your foremost guardian knight.”

“Ah! Wait, it’s dirty…!”

“It’s not dirty, Shin Joo. Not even a little bit.”

The hand that had been massaging her s*x moved up and firmly pressed her lower abdomen.

“Ah! No! Don’t!”

Finally, Shin Joo screamed and trembled. The large man’s mouth took it in without hesitation. As if determined not to miss a single drop of liquid flowing from her body.

“Haah…!”

Her tightly tensed muscles trembled, and he felt a fishy, sour smell filling his throat. Hexion swallowed every last drop without leaving any behind, then rubbed the flushed, trembling wet flesh with his tongue.

“It tastes good.”

“Sob, sob…”

The woman who had been caught in her most shameful state began to cry. Though she was clearly crying from embarrassment, Hexion felt a strange exhilaration.

His former self would never have engaged in such filthy behavior. But now that he was recognized as her best, things were different.

‘Only I can do this for Shin Joo.’

Shin Joo’s reaction in pushing him away was sensible, but he knew that common sense was unnecessary in captivating her.

All common sense became meaningless before her. Even while performing such vulgar acts, his heart swelled as if he had received an honorable medal.

“Shin Joo. There is nothing about you that you cannot show me.”

After wiping his lips, he raised his head and finally met Shin Joo’s eyes.

Her tear-filled face crumpled again when she faced Hexion.

“D-don’t do things like this…”

“No, I will.”

Shin Joo’s mouth opened at his firm answer. Hexion smiled kindly at her as she looked down at him with an expression of disbelief.

“You need not hesitate at all. I can accept everything about you.”

“W-what…”

“I want you to feel pleasure in giving yourself to me.”

Shin Joo’s face twisted in bewilderment at these absurd words, then turned bright red when understanding of what “giving” meant dawned on her.

But the rapid rise and fall of her chest as she breathed heavily subsided somewhat.

After wiping her face while sniffling, Shin Joo soon let out a refreshed sigh.

“You’ve awakened to something strange…”

Was that directed at him, or at herself?

“I don’t even know anymore…”

Whether her shame had driven away her reason, or she had decided to surrender to primal instinct, Shin Joo leaned against Hexion without trying to fix her disheveled appearance.

He embraced her. Having witnessed her most base state, he felt not disappointment but satisfaction.

***

When Kaint returned to the castle, the sun had already completely set. The distance from the temple in the Holy City to the admiral’s castle wasn’t far, so normally he wouldn’t have felt tired.

“Sigh…”

Yet strangely, Kaint felt utterly exhausted.

Was it because he had led his subordinates to invade the demon’s quarters to rescue the Divine Master? Or because he had stayed up all night waiting to confirm her well-being?

Or perhaps.

‘Why did she ask me such questions?’

Was it because this woman, who seemed to lack the responsibility and gravity befitting a Divine Master, showed interest in him?

‘How strange.’

While bringing his siblings to the temple could be attributed to her liking children, there was no reason for her to ask trivial questions about his preferences. And with such interested eyes, calling him by name.

‘Yes. She called my name.’

The Divine Master is the representative of the divine. She would certainly know the name of Kaint, the admiral. Yet Kaint felt uncomfortable with her calling him by name.

It wasn’t unpleasant.

Just uncomfortable.

‘It would be better to keep my distance as much as possible.’

He sighed and hung his uniform jacket on the coat rack. As he unbuttoned one button of his shirt to prepare for bed, there was a knock from beyond the door.

“Come in.”

Creak.

The door opened, and a small child peeked through the gap.

“Corin.”

“B-Brother Kaint. You’re back?”

Perhaps the child had come to greet him at this late hour because he had been away from the castle for two days, even though it wasn’t wartime. When he smiled at Corin, who was fidgeting at the doorway, the child ran over with pattering footsteps and stood in front of Kaint.

“B-brother. My key is, is gone.”

“Hmm?”

“I-I was playing in the underwater garden, and I f-found it and kept it safely, but…”

Perhaps the child had found a fragment of an old relic or a key-shaped pebble. Since it was common for children to collect curious items, Kaint didn’t think much of it.

“I understand. It’s late now, so you should go to bed. Let’s look for it together tomorrow.”

“T-tomorrow? Can’t we look now?”

“Objects don’t have legs, so we can sleep and look for it when the day breaks tomorrow.”

“B-but what if someone takes it and r-runs far away…”

“Corin. Is there a bad person in this castle who would touch your belongings?”

“N-no!”

“Then it will be fine. I’m sure the key is sleeping safely somewhere.”

“D-do you think so…”

“Yes.”

Kaint stroked the child’s small head and handed him a warm glass of milk. After gulping down the milk, Corin’s mouth turned white, and he glanced at Kaint.

“Do you have something else to say, Corin?”

“Brother, you m-met the Divine Master, right?”

“Yes… I did.”

“W-what kind of person is she?”

At Corin’s question, Kaint closed his mouth.

What kind of person was the Divine Master? She was an irresponsible woman who played in bed with a demon while abandoning her guardian knight. Moreover, she was a lazy woman who woke up late in the afternoon. And judging by the circumstances, she seemed to have also slept with her guardian knight.

However, Kaint could not carelessly divulge the Divine Master’s promiscuous private life to others. Especially not to young Corin.

“It’s difficult to explain in words. Corin, do you want to meet her?”

“W-what? Ah…”

Corin hesitated, then nodded.

“Actually… the k-key I lost, I was planning to give it to the Divine Master.”

“To the Divine Master?”

When Kaint frowned, Corin clasped his hands with a pale face.

“W-would it be disrespectful to give the Divine Master something I found in the garden?”

“I don’t think it would be.”

Kaint gently gripped Corin’s trembling shoulders. Perhaps reassured by the warmth of the large hand, the child’s trembling gradually subsided.

“The Divine Master… is not one to stand on ceremony.”

“R-really? She sounds generous.”

She seemed quite far from generous, but not wanting to shatter his young sibling’s fantasy, Kaint decided to hold his tongue.

‘I didn’t want to get close to her.’

If his siblings wanted to meet the Divine Master, he wanted to make it happen. It seemed only Kaint found her disagreeable.

“As it happens, the Divine Master mentioned she would like to see all of you. If you’re okay with it, shall we find the key together tomorrow and then go give it to her?”

“R-really?”

Corin’s face brightened. Seeing this, Kaint felt a strange emotion.

‘She told me to bring my siblings, and it’s turning out just as she said.’

Though still not entirely trustworthy, it seems the words of the divine representative carry weight.

“Yes. Now, it’s time for bed…”

“I-I’m glad you’ve become friends with the Divine Master, Brother.”

“No, we’re not exactly friends…”

“Y-you receive divine protection, brother. Everyone said the Divine Master would l-like you too.”

“That’s not…”

“Y-you like the Divine Master too, right, brother?”

“Corin.”

“D-don’t you like her?”

“….”

Kaint was the nation’s hero.

The Divine Master was the divine representative.

Though their methods differed, both protected the Holy City and received the respect and love of the people. Even if he privately found her uncomfortable, it was right to publicly say he adored her.

Especially in front of his siblings, who held fantasies about the Divine Master.

“…Of course I like her.”

“Hehe.”

Though it was an indirect answer given because he couldn’t bear to crush his sibling’s hope, for some reason, Corin smiled happily.
