"...The third one's fine. I just heard the answer. Now it's my turn to ask you, Yu-jin-nim. What's the price?"
"Absolute loyalty, offering your body and soul to me."
"......"
Scarlett fell silent, her lips pressing together.
This was a life-changing decision for her. No need to rush her if she took her time. Even if I couldn't bring her on board this time, I'd find another way.
Eventually, she spoke up.
"It's cheap."
"Huh?"
"The price I have to pay, I mean. It's so cheap it makes me wonder if it's a scam."
"Cheap? You're giving me your body and soul completely."
"It took me five years to rise to vice-captain of the mercenary band. Proving my skills, racking up achievements, navigating all the internal politics—that's what earned me my position."
Any other band might be different, but this was the vice-captain of a renowned A-rank mercenary group. An impressive feat.
"And now, I'm being offered a general's post commanding twenty thousand troops. Without proving my abilities or achievements. The cost for wielding absolute power over twenty thousand is just my one body and soul. Way too cheap."
From Scarlett's perspective, this was luck bigger than hitting the lottery. Suspicion was natural.
I scratched my head. Giving her too much made her doubt it instead.
"So, you're turning it down?"
"I haven't said a word about refusing. The offer's suspicious as hell, but it's too sweet to pass up. Yu-jin-nim. Or should I call you my lord from now on?"
Scarlett was on board. Hellish news for the soldiers and slave troops, but a joyous day for me—gaining a reliable general.
"I'd love for you to command my army right away, but..."
"That's tricky. I'm currently Kyle-nim's thousand-commander. Suddenly becoming his general would just confuse the troops. They'd pretend to obey but ignore my orders. It'd be better if I officially become your general after this is over."
I nodded. Floyd and I had already discussed it. For Scarlett to truly become a general, she'd need time to seize control of the army. I wouldn't need to help that far. Lending her my name would make it easy. If she couldn't manage that much, I wouldn't have bothered recruiting her.
"Then shall we collect the price?"
"Demanding it already? Understood... When and how should I betray Kyle?"
The honorific for Kyle was gone.
She must think I was recruiting her because of Kyle.
"Leave Kyle be. He's useful enough."
"...Then?"
"You pledge your loyalty. My way."
Loyalty oaths varied by region and family in this world—similar, yet different.
"What method?"
"First, strip. Everything, down to your underwear."
"......I see."
Scarlett stayed calm. No embarrassment at all.
"I get what 'body and soul' means now. Is my body really worth that much?"
"Your body is one part of your value."
"......"
Scarlett stood. She began undressing in her officer's uniform. First the coat, then the top and bottoms. She removed her plain brown underwear. Probably from her mercenary days—faint scars dotted her skin.
Scars can be healed with potions or magic, no big deal.
Slim build. C-cup breasts, perfect to fit in my hand. Nipples light brown and small.
She bent forward next, peeling off her stockings and panties. Crimson pubic hair sprang free from the fabric's pressure. Her pussy was hidden by the bush. Fully nude, she stood straight.
"All off. What now?"
"Question first. Virgin?"
"Yes. Does it matter?"
"Most important thing. Honestly, I figured you weren't. Mercenary life's rough."
"I understand. Some female mercs sell themselves for money."
"Not you?"
"My goal was climbing up, not cash. Selling my body wouldn't gain much."
I stripped fully and taught her the loyalty oath. After hearing it, she stared in disbelief for a moment, then nodded and knelt on the floor.
"......I pledge my soul's loyalty to you."
"Prove it with three kisses. First the glans, second the balls, third the anus."
Scarlett's head moved. Her wet lips touched my erect cockhead. Then they slid down to my balls.
For the third, I turned around to make it easier for her.
Having taken oaths from knightesses before, I knew this was the hurdle. Instinctual revulsion. Some hesitated over a minute. They all did it eventually, though.
Scarlett didn't hesitate. Numbly grabbing my cheeks and spreading them, she kissed my anus.
"...Is that it?"
"Not yet. Important part left."
"I can guess."
Scarlett stood. Before I could speak, she hopped onto the table, spreading her legs. Her pussy exposed. Perfect height for thrusting.
Dry, since she wasn't wet yet. Flat labia minora, bright red slit.
"First time, so I doubt it'll satisfy you, my lord."
"Don't worry. I'll make sure it does."
As I approached, she spread her pussy with her fingers. Pink inside. She thought I'd just insert, but a dry pussy? My cock wouldn't slide in easy, and she'd feel pain over pleasure.
I used Sexual Sensitivity Boost, gently stroking her pussy. Her body twitched.
"Hmmm... Aren't you going to put it in?"
"Needs to get wet first for smooth entry."
"Get wet? Like pee?"
"What? You don't know that? Never masturbated?"
"Never cared about sex... Tried it once years ago. Others say it's great, but it wasn't for me."
"You did it wrong. Stay still. I'll handle it."
"Yes."
I rubbed her pussy with my fingers. No reaction at first, but soon her breathing grew ragged, moisture seeping out.
"Haa... Hoo... "
Her clit hardened. Thin and pointed, like her personality. Flicking it made her body jolt.
"See? Love juices now."
"Haa... Right... Different from urine, I see. And..."
She swallowed, eyeing my cock.
"Your cock's suddenly... distracting."
"Touch it if you want."
"...Just a bit, then."
Scarlett reached out, grasping my cock. Her slender hand was cool. Tentative at first, then bolder—stroking, squeezing the glans.
"Harder and warmer than expected."
"Ready to insert? Okay?"
"Yes. Please."
She spread herself wide with both hands. Her assertive clit looked cute. I gripped my cock, pressing the head to her entrance.
"Haa, haa..."
Hearing her heavy breaths, I pushed in. The head advanced into her tight entrance.
"Ngh."
Scarlett grimaced. Hymen torn. Red blood stained my cock and her ass.
Another virgin today. How many is this?
Ada bomber. No, Ada slayer—that was me.
I thrust deeper. Even accounting for virginity, her walls were tight; I had to push with my hips. Finally, hilt-deep.
"Hahk, haa, haa."
Scarlett stared curiously at our junction. Blood still trickled. I stayed still, stroking her crimson bush.
"Hurt a lot?"
"Yes. It hurts. But... I can endure. Just sitting like this isn't sex. Don't mind me—move."
"You'll feel good soon."
I kneaded her breast with one hand. Perfect handful, chewy texture. Pinched her nipple hard. Like flipping a switch, her pussy clenched suddenly.
I started slow hip movements.
"Haa... Haa."
Squelch. Squelch.
Her breaths and sticky sounds made sweet harmony.
Suddenly, her crimson eyes glazed over. The sharp soldier vanished, leaving a woman. I grabbed her drooping head—soft short crimson hair.
"Hahk, grr... Ngh... Hngh..."
She bit her lip, body shuddering. Orgasm. Not much fluid, though.
Fun to develop her further.
Her back hit the desk. Lying back, she looked up.
"...My lord. No need to hold back. Use me freely. Pain's gone."
"Speeding up a bit."
Scarlett spread her legs wide for easy access, arms out gripping the desk edges. Smooth armpits alluring.
Thud thud.
Squelch squelch.
"Haa, hahk."
Three sounds echoed calmly. She was the composed type. Or trying to be. Her pussy desperately clenched my cock, though—eager.
"Hngh, ngh, nnngh, hahk..."
Her hips bucked up. I gripped her waist, cumming deep inside. Filled her with semen, then pulled out. Semen bubbling from her hole—erotic.
"Haa... So that's... sex."
Scarlett sat up, hot breath escaping.
"You think that's it? Just getting started."
My cock twitched. Not satisfied after one round.
"Sorry, but I must prepare for tomorrow. Lots to do as thousand-commander."
"Operation decided?"
"It will be. No other option. Even if Kyle opposes, the other officers and knights will push it. They know backing down means losing in the Prucker heir race. Besides, with you volunteering the sacrifice, it's all upside for Kyle's army."
Scarlett hopped off the desk, slipping into her panties. Semen leaked out, dripping. Unfazed, she pulled on her stockings.
"You'll be busy starting tomorrow, huh."
"If I were general, maybe. As thousand-commander, I manage troops. I proposed the op first, so gotta show responsibility."
"Too competent, and Kyle won't let you go."
"No issue. No contract binding me, and this op probably tanked my eval further."
True—Kyle seemed unhappy with the plan. Forcing human sacrifice, even slaves, didn't sit right.
Scarlett dressed fully. Pristine, no sign of recent sex. Expressionless, flawless. But glance down—semen trickling down her stockings.
"I'll take my leave. Have a good night."
"Go careful."
Scarlett exited. Walked fine at first, then a slight stumble midway. Before I could help, she strode out of the tent.
???
Around midnight, Kyle stepped outside.
The frustrating situation and thoughts of Yuria left him stifled. Maybe the cool night breeze would help—he wandered slowly around camp.
