Chapter 181: Mayfield (4)
“Sylvia, you can get up now.”
Not long after Kang Hyun-woo left the room, Iris called out to Sylvia.
Only then did Sylvia rise to her feet, straightening her hair and clothes as if nothing had happened.
She appeared composed on the outside, but she couldn’t hide the faint blush on her earlobes.
‘Hmph...’
A wave of shame from the first humiliating punishment of her life washed over her, followed by a surge of anger toward Kang Hyun-woo for forcing her into such a position.
While life in the knight order was said to be harsher than in the military, Sylvia had started as an apprentice knight, not a squire. With her exceptional talent, she had risen through the ranks from associate knight to a full-fledged knight in just a few years.
Naturally, she had never been forced into such a degrading posture.
Moreover, ever since her apprentice days, Sylvia’s standing within the order had been comparable to that of the vice-commander. Far from being subjected to harsh treatment, no one even dared to speak to her carelessly.
Sylvia’s hands trembled, but she soon realized there was nothing she could do and had no choice but to resign herself to the situation.
After all, this incident was her fault for jumping to a rash conclusion.
“You can go rest for a while.”
Iris’s gentle smile and consideration sent a pang of pain through Sylvia’s chest, as if her heart were being squeezed.
To show such kindness to a knight so pathetic she couldn’t even protect her own master.
“...Excuse me.”
Sylvia bowed her head and left the room, but she couldn’t bring herself to move far from the area.
The guilt she occasionally felt toward Iris always weighed heavily on her heart.
‘Oh, Mother Tree...’
On the other hand, she was grateful for the opportunity to correct her past mistakes.
Atonement and gratitude.
Sylvia believed this was all the guidance of the World Tree and offered a quiet prayer.
Of course, she had no idea that the same World Tree had not only sucked Kang Hyun-woo’s dick but had also offered up pregnancy as a reward for this very incident.
When her prayer ended, Sylvia’s gaze naturally shifted to the door across the hall.
She could sense Kang Hyun-woo’s presence beyond it. Judging by the sound of his even breathing, it seemed he had fallen asleep.
‘...’
Of course, she had no intention of apologizing for her hasty misunderstanding or for holding a sword to his throat.
She still hated humans and found men repulsive.
But the contract she had made with him was a separate matter.
A contract stating that if she dealt with him for a year, he wouldn’t touch any other woman.
The terms were absurd, but Sylvia had no choice but to accept.
“Lady Iris...”
Her master was so benevolent that she would offer smiles and kindness even to a pathetic knight who had failed to protect or save her.
She surely felt indebted to Kang Hyun-woo for rescuing her from prison.
That must be why she tolerated his relationships with other women.
Of course, that didn’t mean she didn’t love Kang Hyun-woo.
Whenever she looked at him, her eyes held a deep affection that Sylvia hated to acknowledge.
But regardless of that, there was no way she could be fine with the infidelity of the one she loved.
She was surely holding that pain all by herself.
Wounds were not limited to the physical body. On the battlefield, it was common to see soldiers whose minds had shattered.
Sylvia was certain that now was the moment to right her wrongs.
She would ensure that Lady Iris would no longer be hurt by Kang Hyun-woo’s womanizing.
It had already been eight days since she had committed that unspeakably lewd act with him in the estate’s garden.
Given his lustful nature, he was bound to be craving another woman by now.
One piece of evidence was the human woman he had brought with him this time.
She was as beautiful as any common elf, or even the noble ladies she had met in high society. There was no way he would leave her alone.
The contract?
There was nothing more foolish than placing complete trust in a human.
An obsession with unfulfilled desires—that was human nature.
“Hoo...”
With her hand on the doorknob, Sylvia took a deep breath to calm herself.
Creeeak—
Tiptoeing into the room so as not to wake Kang Hyun-woo, Sylvia immediately approached the bed.
Fortunately, he was sleeping so soundly that he wouldn’t notice if someone carried him away.
‘...Can’t I just hit him once?’
But the moment she saw him sleeping without a care in the world, she felt an uncontrollable surge of anger.
She felt like she would have no other wish if she could just hit him once. No more, no less.
However, Sylvia swallowed her sighs and exercised self-control, determined not to forget her initial purpose.
Careful not to wake him, Sylvia climbed onto the bed and positioned herself between his legs.
‘To think I’d do something so beastly...’
But when she thought about what she was about to do, her fists trembled with self-loathing and shame.
‘...This isn’t some filthy sexual act. This is nothing more than the loyalty and devotion of a knight to her master, Lady Iris.’
Sylvia managed to compose herself by rationalizing the situation.
Without it, she couldn’t possibly accept or endure what was happening.
With a faintly trembling hand, she reached for the waistband of his pants.
Though she appeared calm on the outside, Sylvia’s face was redder than ever.
Her eyes, too, darted about as if they had lost their focus.
After several deep breaths, Sylvia finally made her decision.
Rustle.
Focusing with all her might, she carefully pulled down his pants.
If Kang Hyun-woo were to wake up now, it would be an absolute disaster.
Fortunately, he seemed to be a heavy sleeper, showing no reaction even as she pulled his pants all the way off.
“Haa...”
Sylvia let out a sigh of relief.
She was grateful that the worst-case scenario—knocking him out and forcibly erasing his memory—had been avoided.
Of course, his underwear was still on, but she figured she wouldn't have to worry too much about that.
It was the kind with an opening in the front.
Clutching her heart, which felt like it was about to burst, Sylvia carefully parted the fabric of his underwear.
“Ugh?!”
Through the opening, she saw his semi-erect penis.
She had seen it before, but its grotesque appearance still made her frown.
Suppressing her disgust, Sylvia reached into his underwear and grabbed his dick.
Flinch! She was slightly startled when it twitched the moment her hand touched it.
‘...It’s hot.’
Composing herself, she carefully gripped his penis again.
It was enormous, even though it wasn't fully hard yet.
Of course, she knew that not all men’s genitals were like this.
After she gently stroked it a few times, Kang Hyun-woo’s penis swelled as if on cue, returning to its previous monstrous form.
“Now, this...”
Stroke, stroke...
Gripping his dick, Sylvia began to slowly move her hand up and down.
Her movements were clumsy, but it was a handjob.
However, Sylvia didn't know that's what it was called.
She had only happened to see Iris gripping Kang Hyun-woo’s dick and moving her hand up and down.
‘...It’s harder than a sword hilt.’
The hot, hard texture was unpleasant, but it was much better than using her mouth.
It was surprisingly difficult, but judging by his constant twitching, it seemed she was doing it right.
‘...What’s so good about a hand covered in scars and calluses like this?’
Sylvia simply couldn’t understand Kang Hyun-woo.
His womanizing was one thing, but why did he always try to hold her hand whenever they were alone?
Objectively, her hands were not pretty. In fact, they were enough to make a stranger frown.
For a noblewoman, hands required meticulous care.
Not only calluses, but even the smallest scars were unacceptable.
Moreover, since many noblemen preferred women with beautiful hands, even women like her who practiced swordsmanship would ask priests to remove their scars and calluses and receive regular care.
“He feels good just from me stroking him with my hand...?”
But Sylvia had never done that.
The eldest daughter of the Winterbane Ducal Family, one of the two pillars of the Peledeia Kingdom and a symbol of its military might.
She needed to be perfect both externally and internally, but with the resolve to never marry and never love anyone, she had maintained her scarred and calloused hands.
She never even wore gloves to cover them when attending parties.
“...This is disgusting.”
Thump, thump—
Sylvia silently continued to stroke Kang Hyun-woo’s dick.
Her head was bowed so low it was impossible to see her expression.
How much time passed like that?
Spurt, spurt, spuuurt—
“Gasp...?!”
Suddenly, his penis began to twitch and then ejaculated forcefully.
An obviously enormous amount of semen sprayed into the air.
The problem was that to prevent the semen from splashing onto Kang Hyun-woo’s face and waking him, she had ended up taking most of it herself.
It was hot and sticky.
A murderous impulse flared within her, but she suppressed it once again with superhuman patience.
“Why am I doing this...”
The fishy smell assaulted her nose, and Sylvia felt a sense of self-loathing, as if something inside her was crumbling.
What was that saying? That when something is too absurd, you just laugh?
That was exactly how Sylvia felt.
But his dick, oblivious to her plight, remained hard.
“I had a feeling, but of course...”
Her plan was extremely simple.
Previously, Kang Hyun-woo had told her that a man’s sexual desire has its limits.
So, her calculation was that if she took care of his urges, he wouldn’t even look at another woman for a while.
The only problem was that she didn’t know how many times it would take to satisfy him. She could only guess that she’d have to make him come at least twice.
That’s how it had been in the estate garden.
She wiped the semen from her face and hair with a handkerchief.
“...It’s too sticky, it won’t come off.”
Swallowing a sigh, she gripped his penis again and began stroking it up and down.
Thump, thump.
Having done it once already, it was easier than before.
But that thought was fleeting, replaced by a hatred for herself for getting used to this.
3 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes passed.
“Why isn’t he coming...?”
It was different from before, when he had come in just five minutes.
She couldn’t say her method was wrong, since it had already been proven effective once.
As she pondered for a moment, a memory from her apprentice knight days flashed through her mind.
The commander who oversaw her training used to say that there was nothing more meaningless than repetitive training of the same intensity.
He was a man who emphasized that you had to run a longer distance and lift a heavier weight than the day before.
“...Has he gotten used to the stimulation?”
It was a plausible hypothesis.
But it was a truly terrible one.
If Kang Hyun-woo couldn’t release his sexual desire because he had grown accustomed to her hand, there was only one method left.
“...You truly are the worst.”
On the verge of tears, Sylvia had no choice but to lower her head between Kang Hyun-woo’s legs.
A strange smell pricked her nose. It was the fishy scent of semen she had smelled before and just moments ago.
Faced with a dick covered in semen, Sylvia couldn’t help but hesitate.
In the end, the method she chose was to clean it thoroughly.
Her already soiled handkerchief was useless, so she used the bedsheet to wipe his dick.
The fishy, foul smell still lingered, but it was much better than when it was covered in semen.
“...Hmph.”
After a moment’s hesitation, Sylvia finally took his dick into her mouth.
