Pitiful Female Knight (Part 2)
Pitiful Female Knight (Part 2)
The Imperial Army Temporary Command Post established after successfully recapturing the harbor.
Knights and commanders had gathered here to listen to the words of the First Knight Captain, Lancelot.
"The seer Murgan-nim, who serves as the Empire's eyes, has sent word. He said a Demon God has awakened."
Lancelot spoke while stylishly sweeping back his flowing bangs, and the women blushed as they watched him.
Of course, those who recognized the seriousness of the situation focused more on the story itself than on Lancelot's hair-sweeping technique.
"A Demon God? The Demon Gods from the scriptures?"
"I thought the Demon Gods had disappeared?"
The seven Demon Gods who, in the age of mythology, led the demonkin and appeared to bring about humanity's destruction.
They were beings believed to have vanished from the world after being defeated by the Heavenly Gods.
"If Murgan-nim says so, it must be true. He said the abnormal increase in Skillas is also a ripple effect of the Demon God's awakening."
"Then... are you saying we must fight against a Demon God?"
"The scriptures say the Demon Gods are powerful enough to tear the sky and split the seas. If that's true..."
"No need to worry."
Lancelot placed his fist against his chest and flashed a refreshing smile.
"Because I am here."
"Ooh...!"
Just the confidence shown by the Empire's strongest knight melted away all the anxiety of those present.
Lancelot was a being who guaranteed victory simply by appearing on the battlefield, and surely it would be no different against a Demon God.
Looking at his motivated subordinates, Lancelot pointed to a spot on the map atop the round table.
"There's an island across the sea called <atan>. Murgan-nim said the Demon God is here."
"Atan Island? Isn't that the island where those heretics live? Could they possibly be involved in this?"
"I don't know what connection they might have, but if they worship a Demon God, I shall pass judgment upon them in His Majesty the Emperor's name."
Lancelot raised his head and pointed at several knights with his finger.
"Knight Emilia, Knight Olivia, and Knight Rufus will move with me. The Razelion command will handle clearing the sea route, and we will be the first to land and secure the beachhead."
"Yes!"
The knights who had gained the honor of operating alongside Lancelot responded loudly with respect.
Lancelot looked satisfied with their attitude and turned his head toward another knight.
"And, Knight Pia."
"Yes!"
"You will once again take command of the mercenaries from the rear. Specific details will continue to change depending on the situation, but the basic objective is to surround the island."
"......"
"Knight Pia, your response?"
"...Under...stood."
Female Knight Pia seemed somewhat dissatisfied but reluctantly nodded.
After finishing the operational instructions, Lancelot lightly tapped the round table to gather attention back to himself.
"Now, the Demon God we will face is named <avaritia>. The Demon God of Avarice, Avaritia. The Empire's peace rests in your hands."
* * *
"So? Was I cool earlier?"
"You were so cool! Lancelot-nim!"
"I think I'm going to fall for you!"
"Oh my! You mean you haven't fallen for me yet?"
"Kyaak! How could that be! As if that's possible!"
"Hahahat! I knew it! There's no way you wouldn't fall for someone as cool as me!"
As Lancelot walked along the coastline, a female knight hung from each of his arms.
Knight Emilia and Knight Olivia.
Neither female knight's skills were particularly remarkable.
Nevertheless, Pia couldn't help but feel envious as she watched them stick close to Lancelot like his inner circle.
"Um, Captain-nim."
"Hm? Knight Pia. What is it?"
Pia approached them with a heavy expression.
The two female knights hanging onto Lancelot didn't hide their condescending looks toward Pia.
"I have a request..."
"A request, could it be that there was something lacking in the previous Sacred Banner Violation Training, and you want me to teach you instead? If so, wouldn't it be better to come when it's a bit darker?"
"Kyaaaah! What are you talking about, Lancelot-nim!"
"You're so naughty!"
"......Ugh."
At Lancelot's lightly tossed joke, the two female knights slapped his chest repeatedly, not knowing what to do.
'How can he make such low-quality jokes... What does he think women are——'
Pia felt displeased, but that emotion was instantly swept away by something.
Instead, a new emotion was superimposed.
'——Ahaha! That's Lancelot-nim for you! To treat a lowly subordinate like me so familiarly!'
Thanks to Lancelot's consideration, Pia relaxed and managed to smile.
"Captain-nim. I also want to fight on the front lines with you."
"Hoh? Knight Pia. I acknowledge your courage, but fighting by my side is extremely dangerous."
"That's right. It's too much for Pia~"
"Do you think the honor of fighting alongside Lancelot-nim is given to just anyone?"
The two female knights openly mocked Pia, but she clenched her fists and suppressed her emotions.
Lancelot was the knight Pia respected most... perhaps even held feelings beyond that for.
She wanted to be recognized by him as an excellent knight as soon as possible.
And she instinctively felt that this battle was exactly that opportunity.
Lancelot stroked his slender chin thoughtfully.
"Let's do this. Excel at controlling the mercenaries on Atan Island and show me results. Then I'll give you the opportunity to fight by my side."
Pia's expression brightened considerably as she nodded happily.
"Yes! I won't disappoint you!"
* * *
"......As one of the mercenaries, I will achieve great merit, and Pia will seize that opportunity. That's how she'll enter the temple of Lancelot and Avaritia..."
"And that's where she gets killed by Avaritia, you mean."
Today too, Melanie was restrained before Luxuria in a humiliating position.
At Luxuria's words, Melanie slowly nodded.
"......There's a bit more to the process, but that's the conclusion. No matter how strong Lancelot is, he can't protect his subordinates while fighting a Demon God."
"You truly have no intention of changing that child's fate?"
"......No. I don't have the right to refuse your commands, so I'll follow what you order me to do... but I won't change fate because of my personal feelings."
She would never overwrite someone else's story.
Even if it was a story that had already been rewritten by someone else's malice.
This was Melanie's only belief that allowed her to maintain her sense of self even after becoming Luxuria's slave.
"Hmm♥"
"Ugh...♡"
Luxuria circled around Melanie, admiring her lewd figure with a sticky gaze.
It felt like being raped by sight alone.
Her body, which had been crushed and violated countless times by the goddess's womb-shattering assaults, automatically preheated just from imagining what was to come.
Melanie tried to close her thighs to cover her vulva.
'It's okay... I just need to endure and hold on today too...'
For a while, it felt like both her body and mind would break every time she was raped.
With a male psyche and not being homosexual, she couldn't accept that she had been violated by that hideous-looking meat club.
The feeling that her past self as a male and her current self as a female were splitting into separate entities, as if her ego would fracture.
But she had to endure.
Her instinct screamed that if she started accepting that division, she would fall endlessly.
'Don't think strange thoughts... I haven't suffered anything terrible... It's just that something was briefly inserted into and removed from a hole in my body...'
Melanie gritted her teeth, opened her eyes sharply, and glared at Luxuria.
"If you're going to do it, hurry up! Why are you dragging this out...!"
"That's enough for today."
"......What?"
"Go back and rest. There will be a major battle starting tomorrow - what good would it do to overwork your body?"
Luxuria, as if truly without ulterior motives, quietly returned to her throne and sat down crossing her legs.
Melanie's gaze was momentarily drawn to the way her thigh flesh pressed together, but she shook her head and regained her rationality.
"Wh, since when have you cared about my physical condition...!"
"I always have. Don't you know well how important your words are to me?"
Melanie spoke loudly as if finding it ridiculous, but Luxuria's cock hung down pathetically as if telling no lies.
"Then go back."
"You, what scheme are you planning this time—"
Melanie couldn't finish her sentence before disappearing from Luxuria's temple.
The goddess had used her power to send her back to where she originally was.
"Agh♥ Holding back from getting hard in front of that fucking sexy bitch is killing me♥"
Like an arm about to smash the opponent's jaw, the goddess's cock shook the air as it instantly erected.
The goddess flushed and shook her meat club with both hands.
A pleasure as if something was being pulled up from within made a dumb, stupid smile immediately appear.
"O, ohohot♥ Hey there♥ Lili♥"
"Yes♥ Goddess-nim♥ Shall I suck it out with my mouth again?♥"
Lili, who had been hiding behind the throne, peeked her head out.
The goddess, unable to escape the pleasure of masturbation, barely managed to continue speaking.
"Th, that would be nice but♥ Ahhet♥ I remembered something else you need to do♥"
* * *
"Hoo..."
Pia had quickly finished her tasks and was washing her body with hot water.
Since this was her opportunity to gain Lancelot's recognition, she needed to maintain her physical condition at its best, and to do that, she had to get a good rest tonight.
"Ah, eek...!"
As she began washing her nipples with her fingers, a moan suddenly escaped.
How could she feel this much from just briefly touching herself?
Her body had become abnormally sensitive.
'Ha, have I been holding back too much lately...?'
Once she became conscious of it, she could feel her vulva itching and pulling.
Knights were human too, so they needed to periodically release their sexual desires.
Pia had been too busy lately trying to catch Lancelot's eye to have time for that.
'Tomorrow is an important battle, so it would be good to take care of it once to avoid distracting thoughts... Since I'd hate to wash again, I'll do it now... Huh, ugh?!'
Suddenly, the sexual sensation she felt in her vulva amplified as if a bomb had exploded.
The intensity was so powerful that her waist automatically jerked forward.
"Wh, what is this...?"
With a tingling sensation as if her brain had been struck, Pia drooled as she looked at her own vulva.
There, something completely unfamiliar was asserting its presence.
