The Female Knight Does Not Submit

"Cough, cough..." Arwen's feeble coughing followed me until I left the room.

"...Hmph. No point in bringing him medicine." I idly scraped the floor with the tip of my shoe. A month had passed since I personally delivered the medicine, yet his condition had only worsened, showing no signs of improvement.

"What if the medicine is... strange?" The words slipped out unconsciously, startling me. Fortunately, no one was eavesdropping. I shook my head and thought, Mother would never do such a thing.

Childhood memories suddenly surfaced—Arwen, Mother, and me. Truthfully, I had gotten along better with my stepbrother Arwen than with my cold older sister Sophia. Sometimes like family, sometimes like friends, our childhoods had always been intertwined. But as time passed, Mother grew irritable toward Arwen, and he began avoiding me more and more.

Yes, Arwen was the one who pushed me away first.

With Father gone, our family relationships had reached a breaking point. Even so, I couldn't imagine Mother plotting to take Arwen's life.

"Well, someday..." We might return to the harmonious days of the past. The fleeting thought crossed my mind, but I couldn't voice it. The vague hope I had long held in my heart was being worn down like a rock in the desert as time went on.

"Haah..." I let out a sigh that mirrored my complicated feelings. With heavy steps, I descended the stairs and encountered a maid.

"Hmm-hmm~ Kyaa?!" The maid, humming as she climbed the stairs, let out a scream upon seeing me.

"G-Good morning, Lady Cordelia." Her voice trembled as she greeted me.

She always reacts like this when she sees me. Raibel, the dog beastkin maid. I didn't remember the names of all the household servants, but her name stuck in my mind because of how she always reacted like a frightened wild animal whenever we crossed paths. Today, her reaction seemed even more intense. Raibel looked as if she had seen a ghost.

Already unsettled by Arwen's condition, seeing even the maid avoid me soured my mood further.

"What business do you have here?" I asked coldly without realizing it.

"Howoo... Th-That is..." Raibel whimpered pitifully, fidgeting anxiously. Seeing her like that made me feel a bit guilty.

Right, what else would it be? She probably just came to clean. Taking out my frustration on a pitiful maid would only make me feel dirtier.

"Never mind. Go on with your work."

"Pardon? Y-Yes, understood!" The moment I gave permission, Raibel scurried up the stairs. Her fleeing figure irritated me slightly, but I didn't bother calling her back.

"There's nothing down that hallway except Arwen's room." Raibel's destination appeared to be the corridor leading to Arwen's room, where I had just delivered the medicine. It was suspicious for a young maid to visit the young master's room alone so early in the morning, but...

"Hmph. That guy doesn't have the guts to touch a woman anyway..." I could guarantee it, having known Arwen for so many years. I dismissed my rising suspicions and continued down the stairs.

"Come to think of it, is it today?" Today was the day Masha, who had been away from the mansion, was returning.

"...Should I suggest we have dinner together, just the four of us?" Mother would surely refuse, but I still wanted to try. With that decision, my steps felt a little lighter.

* * *

The morning sunlight streamed through the windows of the mansion. Despite my forcibly changed sleeping arrangements, my condition was at its peak. Proof of that was my cock standing tall toward the ceiling. It wasn't just standing erect—it was diligently fulfilling its purpose.

"Haang♡ Haang♡, Young Master's cock feels so good♡" Raibel, wearing only her panties, straddled me and vigorously rocked her hips. Slap slap slap slap, squelch squelch squelch squelch—the soft friction of flesh meeting flesh and the wet sounds of my shaft plunging into her hole tickled my ears. Raibel clung to me tightly with both arms and legs, as if shackled to my body. Her breasts pressed firmly against my chest.

I spoke to Raibel, who was savoring ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠my cock to her heart's content. "Begging for sex first thing in the morning? Raibel, you're quite the lewd girl."

"Huuut, aah♡ Raibel isn't lewd at all♡"

"Is that so? But your pussy is tightening up because I called you lewd, isn't it?" Twitch? She squeezed even tighter just now.

"Howoo... Young Master is so mean, huuuut♡" Raibel pouted her lips before breaking into a mischievous grin. "I'll shut that naughty mouth like this♡"

"Wait, I haven't brushed my teeth yet..."

"It doesn't matter. I'll clean it for you. Woof♡ Slurp" Raibel sealed my lips with her soft ones. Smooch, lick lick—her tongue invaded my mouth. Like a toothbrush, it licked every corner inside. Oh shit, oh shit. Toothbrushing through kissing? She might deny it, but Raibel was undoubtedly a genius at service sex.

After finishing the most obscene toothbrushing of my life, Raibel said, "Haaang♡ Raibel thinks she's about to come♡"

"Good. Let's come together, Raibel." Raibel nodded vigorously.

"Haang, haah, haah... Make me come with Young Master's cock♡"

"Kuh..." Raibel's pussy clenched tightly around my shaft as she climaxed. At the same time, I ejaculated inside her. Throb throb—I could feel the hot semen filling her depths.

Though only slightly, my stats continued to rise steadily. After catching our breath for a moment, Raibel spoke.

"Haa, haa... That's only twice now." Raibel slowly rose from her position. With a pop! sound as my cock slipped out of her hole, warm semen I had just ejaculated began to trickle from her pussy.

"Don't be so impatient. Our sex life with Raibel and me is only just beginning. There's tonight too."

Raibel picked up the panties she had carelessly tossed on the bed and put them on as she replied, "No. The probability of a child being born between a human and a beastkin is one-hundredth that ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠of between two humans."

"...So?"

"That means we need to have sex at least a hundred times more than with other women. Hehe." Raibel had reached quite the remarkable conclusion.

"See? I told you Raibel is lewd."

"I just want to have Young Master's baby, woof!" Raibel puffed out her cheeks and seemed ready to leave.

"Heading off to work now?"

"Yes. What will you do, Young Master?" Raibel's face, which had been adorably childlike moments ago, tensed slightly as she spoke.

"I..." Today, Masha was arriving at the mansion. When will she get here? Since I planned to meet Isabel anyway, I could ask her about Masha's arrival time during our meeting. I still didn't know whether the quest would trigger upon Masha arriving at the mansion or upon meeting her. Well, I'd find out today whether I liked it or not.

"I'm going to see Mother first."

"And after that?"

"I'll probably meet Masha."

"Will you be alright? What if Masha tries to..." Raibel wore a worried expression.

"Don't worry. At least until the night after tomorrow, I'll be safe." I reassured Raibel with a confident voice. The academy carriage would arrive in three days' morning. According to the game's established rules, Masha would attack me at dawn that day.

Conversely, it means I don't have to worry about being stabbed to death until then. Of course, there was no room for complacency since the future could change due to the variable of possessing this game world. Raibel spoke up.

"Understood. I believe in you, Young Master, woof!"

"Haha, that's reassuring. Thanks, Raibel."

"Hehe♡" Smack—Raibel approached and kissed my forehead. "Do your best, Young Master!" With that farewell and encouragement kiss, Raibel returned to her duties.

"...Alright, let's do this." I immediately changed clothes and left the room, heading straight to the woman who loved me. My steps were bolder than yesterday. Shoulders squared, gaze steady—I was a completely different person from yesterday.

"Is this what Father meant by a man's confidence?" Father Kang-sik had said he realized a man's true confidence on an AV filming set. Back then, I thought it was nonsense... or rather, something I couldn't understand. But now, I understood it perfectly. Having successfully lost my virginity, I felt like I could fuck anyone. Like I had become the protagonist of the world.

Thanks, Raibel. I'll definitely get you pregnant. Grateful to Raibel for boosting my confidence, I headed to Isabel's room to meet Masha, the second woman I would fuck in my life. A familiar guard stood at the door. Strangely, the guard's face visible beneath the helmet looked tense.

The guard announced my arrival in a stiff voice. "Lady Isabel, the young master has arrived."

"Come in..." What? Isabel's voice from inside sounded as heavy and drooping as her ample breasts.

"Cough. Good morning, Mother." As I opened the door and entered, I sensed a chaotic atmosphere in the room. Books scattered on the floor, a toppled lamp. If it hadn't been a lightstone lamp, there would have been a fire. And on the desk lay an empty liquor bottle. Isabel waited for me with her pretty face deeply furrowed. Like the messy room, Isabel's already provocative dress was disheveled and defenseless.

Wait a second... what's that? A round patch of pink skin peeked through the dress. At first, I thought it was a decoration on the dress, but no. It was Isabel's areola.

What a stroke of luck!... No, did something happen? I calmly assessed the situation. This was completely different from yesterday, when I had been desperate to fuck Isabel. It was fortunate I had morning sex with Raibel.

Did she fight with someone? I wondered if it was a marital spat, but Arwen's father was deceased, so that wasn't it. I couldn't imagine anyone foolish enough to challenge Isabel, who had risen to acting head of the household and was riding high. Fortunately, Isabel gave ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠me the answer all too easily.

Isabel adjusted her disheveled dress and said, "Arwen, did something happen with Cordelia?"

Tsk, what a shame... My mouth watered involuntarily as the areola disappeared from view. But Cordelia? What happened between Isabel and Cordelia? Nothing came to mind. Yesterday and today, I hadn't met Cordelia except when bringing the poison in the morning.

"No, it was the same as usual. Cough."

"Really? Nothing at all happened?"

"Yes, really." Isabel asked twice. Don't tell me it's related to me? I was curious about her true intentions in persistently questioning me, but Isabel seemed to have no intention of saying more.

"Then that's fine."

Damn it, making me curious and then ending it on her own terms... As I grumbled inwardly, the guard's voice rang out.

"Lady Isabel, Lady Masha has arrived."

Masha? Without time to mentally prepare, the meeting with Masha was upon me. The time had come to feel with my own skin the Masha who had seemed so temperamental even through the monitor.

Don't panic. I expected to meet her today anyway. I took a deep breath inwardly and steadied myself. Isabel replied in the same listless voice she used when calling me.

"Come in, Masha." Masha entered through the forcefully opened door. With her purple hair and sharp eyes, Masha wore thick plate armor rather than the bikini-style armor typical of female knights in adult games. Masha's face, fixed on Isabel, was slightly flushed.

"Good morning, Lady Isabel!"

"You worked hard. Did the funeral go well?"

"Yes, thanks to your consideration, Lady Isabel." Masha's eyes shone with respect and loyalty toward Isabel—so bright it was almost painful to watch.

"And..." Masha's voice, which had been cheerful moments ago, suddenly dropped as if doused with cold water. "...I see Young Master Arwen is here as well."

"Yeah, good to see you too, Masha." Masha didn't respond, merely nodding slightly. What a bitch... Her attitude of openly ignoring Arwen made my blood boil.

"Are you feeling well?" Masha asked after my well-being for once. Of course, judging by her twitching eyebrows and the way her gaze swept up and down my body, it wasn't out of genuine concern. Though it annoyed me again, I gave her the answer she wanted for now.

"Same as always. No, maybe even worse than before. Cough."

"...Is that so?"

"So, I was thinking of resting in my room today instead of training." Masha looked to Isabel for permission.

"Lady Isabel?"

"Yes, do as Arwen wishes." Isabel granted permission with unexpected ease. She seemed half out of her mind ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠over whatever had happened with Cordelia. Only after receiving Isabel's approval did Masha nod.

"Very well. Rest is also part of training."

Bullshit. She never intended to teach me anything in the first place. I lowered my head and smirked. "Then I'll head back to my room now." Leaving behind Masha, who seemed to have much to say to Isabel, and Isabel, who still looked dazed, I exited the study. And the moment I left the study, the quest window arrived.

Alright... Now it begins. As expected, the boss battle with Masha had transformed into a sex duel. In short, it was a contest of whether I could addict her to my cock or she would slit my throat.
