Chapter 187: The Divine Empire
The eyes Jin turned to me trembled faintly. The tremor soon spread through her entire body. Terrified, she looked like an innocent deer.
The dangerous air of the underworld's godmother vanished in an instant.
In her place stood a fragile girl in a foreign land, with no one to rely on, constantly worried that her enemies might close in at any moment.
And I was the ruthless villain, about to force himself on this pitiful girl.
Well, I had no intention of denying I was a villain, but forcing a woman was a line I wouldn't cross.
Hadn't it been a long time since I learned that mutual pleasure was far better than satisfying myself alone?
Was it because my lust had built up so much? Or had I let my guard down, now that I was one step closer to becoming the ruler of two continents?
As I reached for her face, Jin squeezed her eyes shut. It was clearly not an act.
“I'm not going to force you.”
Jin slowly opened her eyes, and her pupils reflected my hand as I straightened her disheveled hair.
I could feel her tense body relax beneath her fine, ebony hair. The trembling in her eyes had vanished as well.
“…I don't trust you in the slightest.”
Jin glanced down. Even in this situation, my monstrous cock was still raging, pressing insistently against her lower abdomen.
“A biological reaction is beyond my control.”
At my smooth reply, Jin let out a small, forced smile.
The underworld is a place where the weak are devoured. It wouldn't be surprising if a girl from the East, with no one to rely on, was turned into a plaything within a single day.
To survive there, she must have had to project a strong, cruel image that didn't suit her personality. Just like she was doing now.
I pulled her into a tight embrace. I could feel her trembling again where our skin met.
“I apologize for being hasty. But you share some of the blame.”
“What—”
Jin looked up at me, dumbfounded. I stroked her back and smiled gently.
“What man wouldn't get aroused when a beauty as radiant as the stars appears so defenselessly before him? You even came to me late at night, wearing clothes that cling to your body as if begging for my attention. How could I not misunderstand?”
“Hmph. Spoken like a true scoundrel! You know perfectly well that wasn't my intention…!”
Of course I knew she'd come with a dagger in the dead of night to pressure me with a show of force. Her interference with my plans and her decision to crush the noble faction on her own were all part of it.
“Was there truly not a single shred of desire in you to spend an intimate night with me?”
But was that really her only reason for coming? As I stared into her blue-tinged eyes, she glared back, refusing to yield.
“…You're gravely mistaken.”
“Mistaken? Then why did you cling to the window ledge all night, shivering in the cold, instead of coming straight in?”
“Who would have thought you'd be at it all night, like some kind of beast crazed with lust?”
I met her scornful gaze with a smile. Her explanation wasn't nearly enough.
“You could have just waited for another chance.”
“The moment of revenge I've waited for so long is at hand. How could I possibly remain calm?”
“And you weren't coveting Piole's position?”
“No matter how you frame it, a lie won't become the truth.”
“Then how will you explain this?”
“Hah…!”
Startled, Jin grabbed my arm with both hands. The movement exposed her ample breasts, but her attention was fixed on my hand.
And for good reason. My hand had just made a surprise sweep across her pussy.
I held up my hand before Jin's betrayed face. Each time I touched my index finger and thumb together and pulled them apart, a sticky fluid stretched between them like a spiderweb.
“You were practically flooded…”
“Lies…!”
“As you said yourself, no matter how you try to spin it, a lie won't become the truth.”
Jin lowered her head, her face a mask of disbelief. But given that she was sitting on my lap, the first thing to enter her line of sight was my cock.
“…!”
My cock gave a twitch, as if greeting her. Her face instantly flushed crimson.
“You don't even need to look to know. Not only is your crotch soaked with slick, you've drenched my thigh as well.”
“Th-that's not true.”
“Such an obvious lie.”
She wasn't the type to enjoy being forced; I'd felt the moisture through her clothes the moment we touched.
In fact, it would have been stranger if she wasn't aroused. Her frozen body was proof she'd been clinging to the window ledge and peeking inside for a long time.
Piole, especially, had the stamina to take it rough, so our sessions tended to be more intense and vigorous than with other women.
There was a reason Jin had unconsciously called me a beast.
In any case, it must have been incredibly stimulating for the inexperienced Jin, so much so that anything she might have witnessed in a brothel would be utterly useless.
There were plenty of other things to arouse her, too.
The lingering, sticky heat in the room and the scent of lovemaking.
The secret tryst, enjoyed while Piole—the woman I'd just been with—slept.
Besides, even strangers might catch feelings if left in a bed together in their underwear. We had gone far beyond that, not just pressing our skin together and sharing body heat, but with our genitals in direct contact.
‘And she's attracted to me.’
She'd subtly shown her interest since we first met, making this all the more inevitable.
“Just admit it. You came here late at night to be ravaged by me.”
“No, this is… Ah! This is a biological reaction, just like his. A woman's body produces fluid to protect itself.”
Jin seemed genuinely flustered, judging by the way she suddenly grabbed my twitching cock. I have to admit, that took me by surprise too.
“Er… isn't that for when penetration has already happened? To prevent injury during forced, unwanted sex. But I haven't even entered you yet…”
“Your hand! You touched me! Look! Doesn't he start leaking the moment he's touched!”
Jin's hand, wrapped around my cock, began to move quickly. Her motions had a rhythm that was hard to believe for a first-timer, and her control over the pressure was so deft it felt like she was deliberately targeting my most sensitive spots.
The problem was, she wasn't the only one who was aroused. My cock, which had been contentedly pressing against her smooth belly, quickly surrendered to her direct assault.
“Huh…?”
Jin stared down at my cock, a dazed look on her face. She must have felt it pulse.
Thanks to her, the semen that shot from my urethra landed squarely on her face. The sight of her ashen skin being stained by the milky fluid was incredibly erotic.
Instead of staining a white canvas with my colors, it felt like I was staining a black canvas with my white semen.
“Agh…”
Jin frantically wiped the semen from her face, getting her hands covered in it. When I wet a cloth and wiped her face for her, she shot me a glare.
“You pervert! You brute!”
“I didn't do anything.”
I felt wronged. Hadn't Jin taken it upon herself to pleasure my cock until I came? How was that my fault?
“Y-You're the one who made me like this…!”
Logic was lost on the thoroughly aroused Jin. She repeatedly pounded my chest with her fists. Her blows stung.
“Okay, okay. My fault.”
After pounding on me for a while, an exhausted Jin slowly leaned her head against my shoulder.
“Now that things have come to this, have you decided to just give in?”
“…Don't get the wrong idea. I'm just tired, so I'm resting for a moment.”
It was an obvious excuse, but I didn't want to get hit again, so I didn't point it out. Instead, I held her gently and stroked her back.
The shared warmth, the sweet scent of her body, and her pleasant weight felt comforting.
“Can you tell me the exact circumstances that forced you to flee the Eastern Continent?”
“Why do you ask?”
“Because it's the past of the woman who will be my wife. I'm also curious as to when you became so beautiful.”
The corners of Jin's mouth twitched. She must have been pleased, because she didn't resist, even when the hand stroking her back drifted down to her ass.
It was as if she felt a line had already been crossed, and her guard was much lower than before. She began to speak again as I gently kneaded her buttocks.
“I have nothing but happy memories of my childhood. My father was strict, but he cared for his family with love, and my mother gave me endless affection.”
“Your older brother?”
Jin had fled to escape her brother's clutches. That was all I knew.
“My brother was the same. He was enough of a father figure to make up for our busy father.”
I could tell from the wistful tone of her voice that she was telling the truth.
“Then how did it come to the point where your brother tried to kill you?”
“Because as we grew older, we came to understand our situation. My brother was the son of the deceased first wife, while I was the daughter of the second wife, my mother.”
A distance inevitably grew between them the moment they learned the truth. Jin added that this was accelerated when members of the first wife's family began to approach him.
“They told him the first wife died because our father brought my mother into his harem.”
It was the custom in the Eastern Continent that a man couldn't take a new wife if his current one objected.
But Jin's father not only broke that custom, he also ignored the tradition of treating all wives equally.
“So he tarnished the first wife's name.”
“The bigger problem was that the first wife's family was powerful enough to be considered second only to my father in his domain. Things were fine while my father, a powerful lord, was still strong, but…”
“When the head of a house begins to falter, those beneath him will inevitably look for a new master to serve.”
Jin's brother had legitimacy, and he was backed by a powerful maternal family. The vassals likely had no other choice.
“My father knew the scales of power were tipping toward my brother. So he summoned him and made a deal: he would hand over his title immediately in exchange for a promise to protect my mother and me.”
“Did he refuse?”
“No, he accepted. Or rather, he pretended to. He played the part of the loving brother from our childhood.”
Jin said her brother showed his true colors right after their father died. She barely managed to escape with her mother's help.
“If he had just refused outright, I wouldn't have resented him. From his perspective, he had every reason to.”
Her eyes shone with clear hostility. But I couldn't just blindly sympathize.
“However… I don't think this is a conversation to be had while you're fondling my member.”
“Huh…?”
Jin's eyes widened in surprise. It seemed her hand had moved on its own. The amusing part was that she didn't pull her hand away even after she noticed.
“It looks cute like this.”
It was still bigger than an average man's erection, but it had lost its previous monstrous form.
“You'll be in for a surprise if you underestimate it.”
I began to move in earnest as well. I brought the hand that had been kneading her ass forward and teased her pussy once more.
“Hnngh…”
Jin only flinched; she didn't resist as she had before. Instead, she took my cock and began to stroke it. My cock surged back to life at her strangely skilled touch.
“Will you really help me?”
Lifting her head, Jin looked me straight in the eye.
“If you want me to.”
“Even if I have nothing to give you in return?”
“You have yourself, don't you?”
“I am not a suitable price.”
“That's subjective. To me, you shine more brightly and seem more valuable than anything else.”
When I stole a kiss, the corners of her lips curled into a smile. It vanished a moment later, as if she thought she'd shown too much pleasure.
“You'll regret it if you break your promise.”
Jin guided my cock to her entrance herself. It parted her thick folds, revealing the hidden, pink flesh within.
“And you must love us all equally.”
“I promise.”
Jin swallowed hard, her face tense as she aligned my cock with her entrance. The pain of losing her virginity would surely make her scream.
The moment my cock, guided by her hand, pushed forward and forced its way into her tight opening, Jin gritted her teeth, bracing for the inevitable pain.
“…Ah!”
But what escaped her lips wasn't a scream, but a soft, sensual moan. Jin's eyes widened in surprise, her pupils trembling.
“It's… it's my first time…!”
There wasn't even any blood, which made Jin all the more anxious that I would doubt her.
But I didn't doubt her for a second. Her pussy was even tighter than Aenya's, and Aenya had been the tightest of all my women.
“Mmm…”
Her grip was so incredible that even if my cock were half its size, it would have felt immense pressure. So good, in fact, that I almost came without meaning to.
“Aaaah… h-hot—”
When Jin felt my semen splash against her inner walls, her eyes rolled back. She immediately threw her arms around my neck and crushed her lips against mine.
She came at me as if she were trying to devour me whole. And to think she'd been a virgin just moments before.
Perhaps I had awakened something that should have remained dormant. A drop of cold sweat trickled down my back.
