The Goddess's First Lesson
After the goddess's first "lesson" in raw fucking came to an end, we returned to the carriage. It was as if time had frozen—no one had come looking for me or the saintess... for Lumina.
Lucian hasn't come back yet, either.
Lumina sat before me with vacant eyes. Unlike in her sanctuary where she'd been stripped bare, she was now properly dressed in her pristine white nun's habit.
What had happened in the sanctuary felt like a dream. But the sight of Lumina staring endlessly at the ceiling confirmed it was all too real.
Ah, if only this conquest were complete now...
This was still Lucian's dimension, after all. Naturally, rape alone wouldn't seal the deal.
If it did, that heroine would have some very peculiar tastes.
So, how the hell do I conquer her now?
It sounded ridiculous to call it a "conquest" after raping her, but...
I've gotta do it if I want to go home...
Still, the difficulty had dropped compared to before. Why? Because Lumina now knew men. She knew pleasure.
At our first meeting, her man-hating made even approaching her impossible.
But now? She still hated me, but she let me get close.
We could even talk. A path had opened.
"Haa..."
A sigh escaped me. The difficulty was lower, but it was still hard mode.
If only someone would teach me the conquest strategy...
Screeech—!
I left the mentally shattered Lumina behind and stepped out of the carriage. The outside air was refreshing, but my mind felt foggy and stuffy.
"Sir Sigurd! You've emerged?"
The knights patrolling the carriage perked up at the sight of me and rushed over. Their eyes saw me as the hero who'd subdued the hysterical saintess.
"Has the captain not returned yet?" "Ah, he's coming from over there."
Looking where the knight pointed, I saw Lucian approaching from afar. His steps seemed oddly light.
Looked like he had his fun, huh?
No one was with him. He'd probably parted ways with Bella and was heading back alone.
Lucian's expression was peculiar. A sense of liberation shone on his face.
Relieved from the hysterical saintess? Or just from his duties as knight commander for a bit?
"Captain."
I called out, and Lucian snapped his head up.
"Ah... Sir Sigurd." "How was your date?"
At my teasing question, Lucian's face flushed bright red.
"D-date? I merely... escorted her."
"That escort took quite a while. And your lips look a bit swollen."
I chuckled and patted his shoulder. Unable to deny it, Lucian fiddled with his lips.
Regret lingered in his touch.
"Be honest. It was good, wasn't it?" "......"
"A woman who's not lofty and cold like the saintess, but warm, embracing, and smiling. Any man would be drawn to that."
Lucian let out a deep sigh at my whisper.
"...I don't know. Have I... fallen?" "Fallen? Nah, you've just gotten honest."
I drove the wedge in.
"The saintess will understand. No, she has to. She made you so lonely, after all."
"But... I have no face left to show her."
"Save the face for later. Rest up for now. You look much better already."
I sent Lucian toward the knights. He scratched his head sheepishly and blended into their midst.
That's it.
I slapped my knee watching him. Lucian had already crossed the river he shouldn't have.
He was no longer the 'goddess's knight.' He was a man.
And that fact would be fatal poison to Lumina.
Conquest strategy... found.
Just fucking her wasn't enough. To shatter her mind and plant myself in its place, I needed a stronger motive.
And that motive was deprivation.
I curled my lips into a smirk and headed back to the carriage.
Now it was time to start the real conquest.
* * *
I opened the carriage door, and Lumina was still in the exact same position. Unfocused eyes, blank expression.
She looked like a doll with its soul sucked out.
"I saw something interesting."
I tossed it out casually, and her pupils twitched ever so slightly.
"Lucian's back."
"...!"
His name alone got a reaction. She turned her head to look at me.
Desperation and fear mixed in her gaze.
"What... did he say? Did he... look for me?"
Her voice cracked. Even after he'd abandoned her, Lumina was seeking him out.
Can't be helped.
Every living being wants to lean on someone. Especially her—stripped of divine power, raped, her mind torn apart. She needed someone to cling to.
I chuckled and shook my head.
"No. Not a word about you."
"Lies..."
"He talked about Bella instead. How warm she was, how soft. His lips were bruised from kissing, yet he still looked regretful."
"N-no... That can't be..."
"Don't believe me? Go see for yourself. Look at that face laughing and chatting with the knights. Guilt? Not a trace. He was basking in liberation."
I shoved the cruel reality in her face, shaking her mind further. Lumina's face went deathly pale.
With trembling hands, she peeked through the curtain. Far off, Lucian was beaming with the knights.
Thud. Her hand dropped limply from the curtain.
"How... how... and why? His soul is still pure?"
She was shocked that Lucian's soul—after abandoning her—remained clean.
"Admit it, goddess. You've been cast aside."
I sat across from her and crossed my legs.
"Lucian's gone. He chose a cute, skilled-in-bed girl like Bella over a hysterical woman like you."
"......"
Lumina stared at me with blank eyes.
"Honestly, you're boring."
I scanned her up and down.
"Pretty face, great body—sure, I'll give you that. But that's it."
"You bastard...!"
Lumina raged. If this were before losing her divine power, I'd be tense.
Not scary anymore.
I leaned forward, meeting her eyes.
"That's why he was stolen. You throw hysterics the moment things don't go your way."
"Aaaah!"
Lumina clutched her head and screamed. Her pride was being shredded.
She, a noble goddess, couldn't bear that a mere human whore had stolen Lucian—her protagonist. Worse, that he'd found peace with that whore. It drove her mad.
"Don't you want him back?"
I dangled the bait. Her scream cut off.
"What...?"
"Lucian. Gonna let girls like Bella take him for good? Or... do you want to make him obsessed with you again?"
Her eyes wavered. Of course she wanted him back.
That was why she'd descended to the mortal world.
"Is there... a way?"
Her voice trembled as she asked. She'd said protagonists could just be replaced, yet she couldn't let go.
She was desperate enough to seek advice from trash like me.
"There is. A foolproof method."
I grinned.
"Learn."
"Learn... what?"
"How to handle a man. How to melt him in bed. Become more slutty and skilled than Bella—hell, than any whore in the world."
"Y-you're insane...! You want me to become a whore?!"
"Not a whore. A woman who gets loved."
I spoke softly, soothing her.
"Think about it. Why did Lucian fall for Bella? Her skills. Your nobility? Purity? Men can't handle that forever. They always come back to the woman who gives pleasure."
Logical-sounding bullshit. But to her broken mind, it rang true.
"If you satisfy Lucian in bed, would he look at another woman? A beauty like you with skills on top... He'd stay by your side forever."
Lumina swallowed hard. She imagined it—Lucian embracing her in ecstasy.
Not glancing at other women. Looking only at her.
It was the perfect ending to the love she'd dreamed of.
"Rely on me."
I thumped my chest.
"I'll teach you."
"Y-you...?"
I extended my hand. The devil's grasp.
"Learn from me. I'll turn you into the ultimate fucktoy. So good that once Lucian sticks it in, he can't pull out."
"......"
Lumina stared at my hand. She knew she shouldn't take it.
But she couldn't refuse. With her divine power and virginity stolen, all she had left was...
Lucian.
This was a swamp. A path to deeper corruption.
"Can you... really get him back?"
"Of course. If you follow my lessons well."
Her hand rose slowly. Then gripped mine.
Cold fingers, laced with obsession.
"Teach me..."
She bowed her head and murmured.
"How to... satisfy him... Teach me."
Contract sealed. I flashed a triumphant smile and squeezed her hand tight.
"Excellent choice, goddess."
I patted between my legs.
"Shall we start the first lesson right away? Practice over theory."
"R-right... now...?"
"No time to waste. Who knows when Lucian will eye another girl. Master it quick and put it to use."
She hesitated, then resolved herself and slowly approached between my legs. Different from before.
Before, it was force. Dragged here to avoid death.
Now, her own will. With purpose.
Even if that purpose was twisted by my design.
"What... first?"
Her face flushed as she asked.
"Back to basics. Fellatio."
I dropped my pants. That monstrous thing that had ravaged her mouth reemerged.
Lumina flinched but didn't pull away.
"You sucked last time. Teeth hurt, tongue was stiff."
She bit her lip at my critique.
"How... should I do it?"
"Kneel."
She knelt obediently.
"Don't think of my cock as candy. It's a living thing. Wrap your whole mouth around it, stimulate constantly with your tongue."
I explained like a kind teacher.
"Start by licking. Glans to shaft to balls. Every inch, thoroughly."
