Chapter 119: Queen Maker [R-18]
Lorraine frowned at Cloud’s one-sided declaration.
“What do you mean, today is the last time?”
“Don’t overthink it. It’s exactly as I said. Today is the last time I’ll duel you. So give it everything you’ve got so you won’t have any regrets.”
“Ha! The last time? Says who? In case you’ve forgotten, think about what you did to me. If I just expose it—”
“Go ahead.”
“What…?”
Lorraine’s eyes wavered.
“Are you being serious…?”
“Yes.”
“…Why? Why the sudden change?”
“Frankly, I’m more bewildered by your reaction. You know full well that I’ve been the one indulging your whims until now, don’t you?”
“…”
“Go. Go put on some proper armor and bring the sword you usually use.”
Despite Cloud’s words, Lorraine simply bit her lip, unmoving. With the same downcast expression as before, she asked.
“Am I a nuisance to you? Is that why you’re ending this?”
Cloud slowly shook his head.
“If you were a nuisance, I wouldn’t have kept meeting you.”
“Then why…!”
“I am the Hero.”
He spoke with a solemn expression and voice.
“You know the duties that come with being the Hero, don’t you? I can’t keep playing along with this child’s play forever.”
“Child’s play…?” So everything that’s happened until now was just a game?
Was that all it was?
“Ha… Haha…!” Her face, which had been twisted in a hollow laugh, soon turned venomous.
“Fine. If that’s what you want, let’s end this today. But you know the deal, right? If I win, you have to grant my wish. Don’t even think about backing out. If you do, I won’t just stand by and watch.”
After snapping at him, Lorraine turned on her heel and left the training ground without waiting for Cloud’s reply.
“Ah, you’ve returned… Princess? Did something happen?!”
“It’s nothing. Move.”
Arriving at the inn, she pushed past the fussing knight and returned to her room. She began to don the set of armor displayed inside.
Silver full plate armor.
The parts unprotected by metal, like the joints, were covered by chain mail.
After equipping her armor and picking up her broadsword, her gaze fell upon the backpack next to her bed.
Inside were various magical items with different effects.
After a moment of hesitation, she looked away from the backpack.
They would certainly help.
But she wanted to defeat him with her own skills alone.
Her preparations complete, she returned to the training ground.
She narrowed her eyes at Cloud, who was in the exact same state as when she had left.
“What’s this? You told me to come fully armed, so why are you still dressed like that?”
Instead of answering with words, Cloud tapped the sword at his waist.
It was the sword gifted to him by the queen that afternoon.
Lorraine scoffed.
Her eyes turned cold as she glared at him and warned, “Don’t blame me if you get hurt.”
Lorraine crouched, leveling her sword and pulling it back.
Then, she shot forward with a thrust.
It was the same attack as always, but its speed was incomparably faster than before.
But not so fast that I can’t react.
Cloud twisted his body to the side, dodging the thrust.
“You’re wearing armor, yet you’ve gotten faster instead of slower. Is it enchanted?”
Enchantment.
The act of imbuing equipment with magic.
Mages were rare.
Mages who could perform enchantments were even rarer. And mages who could bestow powerful enchantments were rarer still.
Because of this, enchanted equipment was hard to come by.
And just as he suspected, Lorraine’s armor was enchanted with lightening magic.
A product of royal power and wealth.
“What’s it to you?!”
-Vwoom.
A blue sword aura enveloped her broadsword.
She charged at Cloud once more.
Kartar Family Swordsmanship.
[Lotus Flower Sword Art]
The aura-clad sword swung toward Cloud’s waist. Only then did he draw his own sword. The two blades clashed. Clang! Lorraine’s sword was blocked.
But her assault didn’t end with a single strike.
She immediately moved her sword, aiming for a different spot.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
Her sword struck from different angles each time, forcing him to focus solely on defense. It was a completely one-sided offensive. This was possible partly due to the characteristics of her family’s [Lotus Flower Sword Art], but the lightening magic on her sword played the largest role.
You underestimated me.
The outcome of a fight was determined not just by skill, but also by the quality of one’s equipment.
There was a reason rare metals and enchantments were so expensive.
What should I make him do? I haven’t really thought about it…
Lorraine smiled with pleasure, sensing her victory was near.
It didn’t take long for that upturned smile to fall.
“…”
Cloud blocked every one of Lorraine’s fast and erratic strikes with minimal movement.
As a result, it was Lorraine, not him, who was growing tired.
Something’s wrong.
Sensing this, Lorraine backed away.
What the hell? How is he blocking so easily?
He should have been thrown off balance at least a little, but his defense was flawless.
Just as she was about to grow anxious, Cloud lowered his sword.
“Is that it?”
Cloud had simply meant to ask if she was finished. But to Lorraine, it sounded like a taunt, as if he were asking if that was the extent of her abilities.
Grit.
Grinding her teeth, she tightened her grip on her sword.
“Not a chance!”
She charged at Cloud again.
*
Anyone who has ever been deeply engrossed in something has likely felt a wall.
A wall that blocks your path, one that feels utterly insurmountable.
Lorraine was feeling that right now.
“Aaaaargh!!!”
Unable to contain her frustration, she threw her sword to the ground. After panting in anger for a while, she glared at Cloud.
“What are you? What the hell are you?!”
Cloud hadn’t attacked even once.
Lorraine had been the only one on the offensive.
And yet, she felt a crushing sense of defeat.
It wasn’t simply a matter of being unable to win.
It was the image.
She couldn’t even imagine her sword ever reaching him. That feeling only intensified the longer she attacked, and in the end, she had no choice but to admit defeat herself.
“Damn it… Are you not even going to answer me now?”
It was a defeat like any other, but this one was different. She had literally used everything she had, and still, she had been overwhelmingly defeated.
What made her feel most miserable was that this was the last time.
If she had won, it might have been different, but since she lost…
As she stood there, so devastated she couldn't even manage a hollow laugh, Cloud walked right up to her.
Lorraine lifted her head to gaze at him.
Watching his face slowly approach, she let out a small, bitter laugh.
So even if it’s the last time, we’re still going to do it?
Fine, do whatever you want.
Lorraine didn’t resist as Cloud’s lips met hers. His tongue pushed past her lips, teasing the inside of her mouth.
I always think this, but he’s unnecessarily good at this.
It’s probably because he goes around messing with every woman he meets.
Feeling inexplicably sullen, she tried her best not to respond to his kiss. It was futile, though. Every time his tongue swirled inside her mouth, every time his hands kneaded her body, her mind slowly went blank.
Thanks to that, she didn’t notice she was being pushed back little by little.
Nor did she notice that her armor was being removed.
By the time she realized it, she was already pressed against a stone pillar.
The hand that had been caressing her backside gripped her thigh and lifted her leg.
My thigh? He’s being weird today. Is it because it’s the last time?
Up to this point, she had simply dismissed it as him being a pervert.
That was, until he lifted her other leg as well.
Suddenly finding herself clinging to him with her back against the pillar, she was startled and pulled her lips away.
“Hey, what do you think you’re— Mmph?!”
A moment later, his lips covered hers again. Since he gave her no chance to speak, Lorraine had no choice but to give up.
What a fucking pervert…
She could only grumble internally, feeling a sense of shame.
But even that shame soon faded.
As she grew accustomed to the position and continued her contact with him, he shifted from holding her with two hands to just one.
He supported her bottom with his arm.
It was absurd, but it didn’t feel bad.
In fact, her heart even fluttered a little.
Just as she was getting used to being held up by one arm, Lorraine felt something hard press between her thighs.
It felt strangely different from something that was just hard.
It was resilient, almost like…
…Huh?
With a dawning sense of dread, Lorraine glanced down. Her suspicion was correct. A large, swollen cock was wedged between her thighs.
C-Crazy! Why is he taking that out?!
Her horrified eyes then caught sight of the dagger in Cloud’s hand.
Why the dagger?
Logically, he wouldn’t hurt her…
Lorraine understood why he was holding the dagger the moment it touched the area of her vulva.
This bastard… he’s going to do it…!
H-Ha…! It’s useless. These pants are made of Behemoth leather. They won’t be torn by some flimsy dagger!
A blue sword aura formed around the dagger.
Huh? It can’t withstand sword aura, though.
Just as she thought, the Behemoth leather couldn’t hold up against a blade imbued with sword aura. It offered a slight resistance, but in the end, it was sliced open vertically, just as he wanted.
Cloud tossed the dagger aside and brought his cock to the slit in her pants.
Lorraine hastily broke the kiss and said, “Can you handle what you’re doing right n— Hngh-?!”
A sensation like being stabbed by a knife made her body tremble violently.
This… this son of a bitch… he actually put it in…!
She wrapped her arms and legs tightly around him, trying to forget the pain.
When the pain of losing her virginity had subsided somewhat, she spoke in a trembling voice.
“You’ve really done it now. You… you rapist bastard…! You’re finished n— Aaargh! W-Wait, don’t move!”
“Why?”
“What do you mean, why?! It hurts!”
“So?”
“What? So? So?! Are you insane?!”
How could he say something like that after taking her virginity?!
As Lorraine’s eyelids trembled with rage, Cloud spoke with an annoyed expression.
“You said my life was over anyway. So there’s no reason for me to care about you.”
Then he began to thrust his hips again.
“Agh! Aaargh! O-Okay, you’re not finished. I said you’re not finished!!”
Only after her desperate scream did he stop moving.
“Should’ve just said so from the start.”
“You bastard…”
Lorraine glared at Cloud, her face tear-streaked. In response, he just smirked and placed a kiss on her cheek.
For some reason, that simple gesture made her feel a little better.
Annoyed by that fact, she muttered just loud enough for him to hear.
“A commoner… just a commoner…”
“And you’re having sex with that commoner.”
“Shut up.”
Their pointless conversation continued.
In the meantime, thanks to the effect of the Giant Root Herb, Cloud’s cock had adjusted to fit Lorraine perfectly, and she, too, had grown somewhat accustomed to the feeling of being penetrated.
Slowly, his cock began to rub against the inside of her vagina.
“Besides, how long are you going to treat me like a commoner? I told you, I’m the Hero.”
“Quiet. Once a commoner… Hngh… always a commoner…”
The throbbing pain was transforming into a gentle pleasure.
When Cloud stopped rubbing and began to move his hips in earnest, she lost the capacity to speak.
Every time he thrusted up, her body was thrown upwards as well.
As her body swayed unsteadily and she felt his cock scraping against her insides, it finally hit her.
I’m really having sex with him.
How did things end up like this?
When I first saw him, I thought he was an idiot with a handsome face.
I even found him repulsive.
But I don’t feel that way now.
When did that change?
I don’t know.
It feels like so long ago.
Well, it doesn’t matter.
Even doing something like this now, it doesn’t feel unpleasant.
Ah… but this feels so good…
Was sex always this pleasurable?
It feels like my whole body is being sweetly pickled.
There. I like it when you rub there.
Huh? Wait a minute. Too hard…
“Hnngh!!?”
Shit.
I was too loud.
Did he notice?
He noticed.
“J-Just a little gentler… Ahng!”
Yeah, I didn’t expect anything from you, you damn bastard.
Just do whatever you want.
“Ahk, ak, ahng! Haaahng!”
Wait.
I think it’s getting more intense…
Huh…? Huh?!
This… this is more than just being sweetly pickled…!
Slap!
“Ahhhk!!”
I’m going crazy.
I think I’m losing my mind!
Slap! Slap! Slap!
As their sex grew more vigorous, her moans became lewder. Just as her moans reached their peak, Cloud thrust his cock deep inside her, all the way to the root.
Lorraine felt an electric jolt shoot up her spine. She wrapped her hands tightly around Cloud’s head.
“Ah, ah, ahh, ahhh, ahhhhhh…!!!”
That electrifying sensation shot all the way to her head, melting her mind into a thick, gooey puddle. Trembling and twitching, she buried her face in Cloud’s chest and remained dazed for a long while.
“Haa… haa…”
Finally catching her breath with ragged gasps, she narrowed her eyes and glared at him.
“I told you to be gentler. Why did you ignore me?”
“Did you not like it?”
“What?”
“Did it not feel good?”
“No… that’s not it… Huh?”
As Lorraine evasively avoided answering, she felt something trickling down her thigh.
Looking down, she saw a sticky, milky-white fluid running down her leg.
Her face went pale.
“…Did you cum inside me?”
“Yeah.”
“Yeah? Yeah? Y-Yeah?! You crazy bastard! How can you be so calm about this?! What the hell were you thinking, cumming inside me!!!”
Lorraine tightened the legs wrapped around Cloud’s waist and grabbed him by the collar.
He replied in an aggrieved tone.
“I asked you several times during, you know? You’re the one who just kept moaning ‘Uoooh’ and didn’t answer.”
“W-When did I ever make a sound like that!”
Lorraine shouted, her face flushing red.
After bickering for a while longer, Lorraine finally calmed down.
“Hmph, whatever. Come to think of it, I’m not in my fertile window today. Hey. What are you doing? Let me down… Hahng?!”
His cock gave a ‘poke’ inside her vagina.
“…You want to do more?”
“You can feel it’s still hard, can’t you?”
“I was taught it’s over after one time…”
“Not me.”
With a grin, Cloud began to move his hips again.
“You really are a pervert… Ngh! Ahng! Ahk! Hng! Stop… stop hitting just that spot… Haaang! Hah! Ahk! Haaaaaaahk…”
She wrapped her arms around Cloud’s neck, her body twitching.
He tilted his head.
“What? I barely moved and you came again?”
“Ngh…! It’s… it’s your fault! You kept hitting that one spot…!”
Lorraine rambled incoherently out of shame.
-Peck.
Cloud gave her a French kiss. Then, he pressed his forehead against hers and met her eyes.
Their lips met again.
-Peck. Peck. Peck.
A series of short, continuous kisses.
When he stopped and smiled, Lorraine’s face was flushed for an entirely different reason than before.
“Lorraine, there’s something I want to say. Is that okay?”
“…What is it.”
Unable to overcome her embarrassment, Lorraine averted her gaze and answered curtly.
It’s probably just more nonsense.
Just like last time, when he built up all that atmosphere just to end it with a joke.
Still, it seemed she held a sliver of expectation, as she peeked at him from the corner of her eye.
-Peck.
Cloud gave her one more peck before he finally spoke.
“Honestly, you think Lorian is a fucking piece of shit too, right?”
“..?”
..??
