No regrets whatsoever. I never even thought I'd win. It was fun, and I gave it my all—what more could there be?
Having finished the spar, I smiled in satisfaction.
"Bin!"
The spot where I'd been struck stung a little, but it wasn't a serious injury. No need for her to worry that much. Pretending it was nothing out of embarrassment, I stood up from my spot.
"You okay?!"
"No. I lost."
"I'm asking if you're hurt anywhere!"
Sigh, she still treats me like a kid. Things can happen in a spar, but Oppa doesn't get that. Is it because he's so perfect? His mindset still feels so distant. It'd be nice if he'd think from my perspective for once... Swallowing my disappointment, I put on an act like I was fine and tried to shake off Oppa.
"Why did you step back?"
But at that moment, an unexpected interloper cut in.
"Hey, what are you talking about all of a sudden?"
"Young Lady Namgung, why?"
"Hey now!"
Why's that guy acting like that? The man named Baek looked at me with utter incomprehension, demanding an answer. And with such a ridiculous question, too—why did I step back?
Why? To dodge, obviously. I opened my mouth to give him the obvious answer, but before I could make a sound, the man pressed on.
"Why did you try to lose?"
"...Pardon?"
"I'm asking what that step back instead of forward at the last moment was about."
"Hey, Baek!"
What that step back was? He seriously asking because he doesn't know?
Even with something called the Sovereign Sword Form—a supreme technique—there are times you have to retreat. Blocking every single attack head-on is arrogance and hubris. Especially against an elder like the Moonlit Night Sword...
...Wait, I should have stepped forward?
Goosebumps prickled across my skin.
Why didn't I think of that?
I only realized my mistake after hearing him out.
Because it's arrogant and hubristic, the Sovereign Sword Form is about boldly clashing to see who reigns supreme... No, that's not it. In that case, I'd never be able to fight alongside Oppa anymore... What am I even thinking? I'm putting limits on my own swordsmanship... Ugh, urgh. My head...
"Ahh..."
"Bin! So the wound is serious after all!"
Dizzy. My mind's going hazy. It's painful, agonizing, lonely... Yeah, this is loneliness. The long-forgotten feeling of loneliness brought tears to my eyes unbidden. No... If even Oppa drifts away from me... Ah, no... That won't happen.
I'm anxious, yet reassured, and terrified all the same.
It feels like I've recalled something I'd barely managed to forget. I shouldn't, I have to keep forgetting it... Steadying my ragged breaths, I closed my eyes. It'll all be gone when I wake up, right?
"You'll need to come at me with everything you've got in our spar."
Ignoring the man's words as best I could, I slipped into sleep just like that.
Ah, I've lost it.
By the time I snapped out of it, I'd already yelled at Namgung Bin.
What the hell was I thinking? I shouted without realizing it, but even I couldn't figure out why. Was it because my master was disrespected? Disappointment in Namgung Bin? Whatever it was, there are lines you don't cross, and I blew right past it.
Offering unsolicited advice like some nagging geezer.
Namgung Bin must've found me repulsive too—she shut her eyes and pretended to pass out. Damn it, this is bad. I've tanked the main heroine's favorability before I could even start my approach. At this rate, am I gonna fail the NTR route?
"You'll need to come at me with everything you've got in our spar."
Worried, I reminded her about our upcoming match. Her nickname's Little Sword Ghost, after all. If I can just cross swords with her, I can raise her favorability a bit.
I love looking at Namgung Jin. His smile puts me at ease, and talking with him makes me laugh. This must be love. Just knowing I can be with him fills my heart with uncontainable joy. Could there be greater happiness than this?
I used to think Namgung Jin was my destined one.
"Haa..."
But the one who took my first time was Baek, and I fell head over heels for sex with him.
"Baek, harder... Ahhng..."
No consideration, no foreplay—just raw sex for his lust. He doesn't tolerate the slightest resistance, treating me like a bitch in heat, then brands me his slave by flooding my womb with his seed.
Utterly unfair, absurd rape.
Yet I revel in it, vowing submission as he pounds me. This must be love. Just the thought of being ravaged by his cock fills my heart with unbearable ecstasy. Could there be greater pleasure than this?
The man named Baek was my destined one too.
"More, more! Haa, aaaah! Please!"
But that's exactly why I'm torn.
Which love do I choose here?
My instincts scream to run to Baek right now and spread my legs, but my reason shouts to link with Namgung Jin for me and the Jeon family's future. ...Can't I have them both?
"Ah, aaaahng!"
Finishing my masturbation, I let out a deep sigh over my deepening dilemma.
Maybe I should get some advice...? It bruised my pride, but I couldn't keep just masturbating like this. I needed to sort out my feelings ASAP. So with nothing to lose, I went to Dang Soyeon,
"Haht, haa... Wait a sec... Uuung!"
only to hear lewd moans leaking from her room.
"Hat, haaa... Wha—ah, aaang."
...No way, did she seduce Namgung Jin?
I'd never imagined they'd get this close. Dang Soyeon wasn't even competition... And ridiculously, she'd just eliminated one of my options.
Whew, no helping it then. Time to go all-in with Baek without worry...
"Baek Oppa, haaang!"
...What? Oppa?
"You're really... haht... not doing anything weird, right?"
"I swear."
"But your hips keep... hat, haa... feeling so strange..."
Not Namgung Jin... Baek? N-No way... Lies, right?
"See for yourself. My hands are right here..."
"I know that, but... hat, haa... W-Wait... Why's this so hard all of a sudden..."
"Ah, that's just a physiological reaction. Can't help it."
"Because of me... you're erect? Wow..."
No freaking way... Really Baek?
Whatever had gone down between them, the one holding Dang Soyeon right now was none other than my master. No... Why...? Was I too late? I should've offered everything sooner—instead, my hesitation let my fate slip... No, wait... Master already has two official wives. No reason to back off just because another woman's joined.
"Step back for a sec."
"Ah, no... It's fine. Stuff like this happens—we should practice for it."
"...You sure you're okay with that?"
"Yesss... So hurry and hold me again..."
And... what? Practice? Looks like I jumped to conclusions.
Somehow, Dang Soyeon had glimpsed master's true nature and was scheming something, but it was absurd to me. Acting cocky without even knowing the taste of master's cock? If it were me, I'd have sucked him off the moment it got hard.
Haa, this won't do anymore.
Realizing my dilemma was pointless, I headed to master's room, my slit already dripping wet.
