Chapter Title: 816. Reincarnated as the Plum Blossom Sword Master in a Count's Family
-----------------------------------------------------------------
It had been five days since Terius and Nepia started living together. Terius was in high spirits. Lately, Nepia had been adapting well to life there. She cleaned the house and seemed to get along great with the commoner women living nearby.
'Just wait, Nepia. Once I rack up some achievements in the war and climb higher... I'll give you a life that even nobles would envy. No, I'll become a noble myself and make sure you live as one too.'
That was Terius's new goal. To achieve it—to make money—he even showed up at the barracks on his day off.
"Oh, Terius. You're grinning ear to ear for someone coming in on a rest day. Spent a hot night with your lady love, huh?"
His old mercenary buddies chuckled. Terius smirked. Crude jokes were just part of mercenary life. He knew there was no malice behind their words.
"Yeah, every day's pure bliss. What about you guys? Not training, that's for sure."
"Heard there are goblins popping up outside the city lately. Brass ordered us to clean 'em out. If you're free, wanna join?"
"...Can you give me thirty minutes? Got something to deliver to Captain Kyle."
"Thirty's no problem. We'll wait at the gate—hurry back."
Terius met Kyle and handed over the letter. It was from some noble in the west, so he didn't know the details.
"Good work, Terius. Here's your pay for this month."
"...Pay isn't supposed to come until next next week."
"Heard about your situation. Struggling with debt, right? Just take it—no arguments."
"...Thanks, Captain."
Terius took the coin pouch, hiding the emotion thickening his voice. Things were tough, just like Kyle said.
'This'll keep us comfortable for a while.'
He felt relieved seeing Kyle's face. There'd been talk of the captain changing lately, but aside from a slightly darker aura, nothing seemed off.
'That gloom's probably from the war. Captain hates fighting.'
With his earnings secured, Terius joined his buddies for goblin hunting. It went smoothly—he took down seven out of fifteen himself. They wrapped up by lunchtime.
"Terius, grab lunch before you go? My treat today."
"Gonna eat a ton... you sure?"
"Heh, of course."
They headed to a tavern that served food, booze, and whores. Terius stuck to the food and drink.
"You're that one-armed knight who beheaded the famous Baron Mavelrot, right?"
"Yeah, that was me..."
A whore sidled up close. Her breasts brushed his shoulder. The perfume she wore tickled his nose. Terius was uncomfortable.
"Hah, leave him be and come here. She's had a crush on someone forever—whores don't even register. Wait, it's not 'someone' anymore; it's his wife now, huh? Heh heh."
"Oh, really? What a romantic knight."
The whore backed off. Terius felt a pang of regret, then jolted in shock.
'No, I can't. I've got Nepia.'
His groin stirred slightly. They lived together, but she wouldn't let him touch her. It was like staring at a delicious cake he couldn't eat. He was pent up.
'Nepia will open up to me soon enough.'
Belly full of food and booze—but not drunk—Terius stepped out of the tavern. On his way home, someone called out.
"Terius. Perfect timing. Help me out?"
It was Hans, the butcher.
"Help? What's up?"
"You know about the secret fight pit in the east side?"
"Everyone does."
The secret fight pit.
Where people battled for bets—and money changed hands, naturally.
"My guy's skipped out, so I'm short a fighter. Step in for him?"
"Me? I'm a knight."
Knight entry was restricted. Knights were superhuman. Fights were fun only between equals.
"Hate to say it, but... you've only got one arm. The champ's a top-tier aura user—match'll be a show. Just once, help me out."
"Still, me fighting..."
"Pay's generous. Desperate here—no one else fits."
"Pay, huh... how much?"
"Two million Ner base. Five if you win, plus bonuses if the crowd loves it."
Terius's eyes widened. His monthly pay was six gold—three million Ner. He swallowed hard and nodded.
"...Just this once."
"Thanks, Terius!"
Terius downed the pit champ and pocketed five million Ner. A gash on his side, but it'd heal in days.
"Here, take this."
"Huh?"
"Prime beef. Feeds five. Wife loves meat, right? Share it. Reward for today."
"Thanks, Hans!"
Terius beamed, taking the heavy cut. Enough to feast through tomorrow. He pictured Nepia's joyful face.
Today was lucky.
His steps home were light. If every day was like this, he'd pay off debts fast and enjoy life with Nepia.
Nearing home, unease hit. Smoke should've billowed from the chimney yesterday; today, it was chilly. No lights. His light steps turned anxious.
He entered the cold, empty house.
"Nepia! I'm back! Got premium meat from Hans today! ...Nepia?"
Nepia was gone. Her travel pack too. No trace in the wardrobe or bedroom. Then he spotted the letter on the chair.
Reading it, grief and rage surged in Terius.
"Nepia...! You fucking bitch...!"
The letter crumpled and hit the floor.
Terius collapsed to the ground.
"Better... this way. Yeah... better... Ugh, ugh..."
He curled up, sobbing. Worse than any mercenary beating. After the tears, he rose slowly.
'No. Nepia might've just given in to a moment's weakness. Or... Sung Yu-jin threatened her!'
Terius rushed out, hired a carriage to Tevra estate. He had to talk to her.
But soldiers at the gate blocked him.
"Heard your story. Master said no entry. Go home."
"Just once! Let me see Nepia and talk! Please! At least pass a message to Baron Sung Yu-jin!"
"...Don't know details, but Lady Nepia said she has nothing to say to you. Go."
"Lady Nepia? She's...!"
"Nepia's acting head maid. Top five in the mansion. Even knights tread carefully. Watch your mouth. And causing a scene this late?"
"...I'll come back morning. Then... let me see the baron!"
"Pointless. Go. Come back or linger, and it's the dungeon."
"......"
Their threat was real. Terius retreated.
'Another way... ask Captain Kyle?'
???
The next evening, Terius slumped home, collapsing into a chair. The warm home with Nepia was gone.
"......"
Like a corpse in the chair—knock knock knock. He dragged himself to the door. Mercenaries from Koria Trading Company stood there, eyes pitying.
"...What? Debts I'll pay someday—don't worry."
"Nah, not that. Orders from up top to deliver this. Take it."
"......"
A small box. Terius eyed them curiously.
"Up top? Who?"
"No idea. Don't wanna know. Crystal ball inside—button on top to activate. ...Hang in there. Good days ahead if you keep at it. You're a knight, right? No extremes. Don't wanna feel guilty again."
The mercenaries left.
Terius sat at the table with the box. Opened it—his body shook. Two items: a crystal orb and Nepia's iron ring from her neck.
"Nepia...!"
Nepia sent this. The ring meant...
Trembling, he lifted the orb and pressed the button. A projection appeared.
Nepia.
Or rather, Nepia from years ago.
—Nepia. What day is it?
Sung Yu-jin's amused voice. Nepia looked tense.
—My... coming-of-age ceremony, Master.
—Shall we start the final rite?
—Yes. Please be gentle, Master.
Nepia shed her maid outfit. Her pale, perfect nude gleamed. She climbed onto the bed, gripped her thighs, spread wide. Her smooth pink slit quivered, dripping clear fluid.
Face mixed with tension and arousal, she said:
—Master, please take my virginity.
—Of course. But... that ring on your neck. It's distracting. Take it off?
—Yes. I'll remove it.
—Thought it was important. Sure?
—Not more important than you, Master.
Nepia tossed the iron ring aside. Sung Yu-jin chuckled.
—Going in, Nepia.
—Yes, Master.
The massive cock slowly entered her tight pink pussy. It stretched wide, her hymen tore, blood flowed.
—Aaaah!
—Hurts a lot?
—I-It's fine. All the way! Master! I want to be your woman! Haaaaah!
Fully sheathed, Nepia's limp body twitched. Sweat-drenched, enduring pain, she smiled lovingly.
Terius despaired—it wasn't for him. Dead-eyed, he watched.
—Master... move, please.
Squelch squelch.
The huge cock ravaged her small pussy.
Terius blankly shed tears, hand drifting down to his crotch.
—Ah, aaah! Feels good! So good, Master!
—Nepia, your pussy's so tight and delicious.
Terius bit his lip.
From the start. Years ago. Nepia had forgotten him. He'd clung to her as hope... but not her.
The video continued. One hour... two... three... until dawn.
Nepia grew bolder, clinging to Sung Yu-jin, moaning lewdly.
And.
—Terius.
Nepia called him, flashing the diamond on her left ring finger.
—Pretty, right? Nothing like that cheap iron ring you gave me. Why'd I wear that junk around my neck? So stupid. Here's yours back.
Sung Yu-jin loomed behind. Nepia sat atop him, stroking his thick cock.
—Look at this. A real man's cock. I'll service it today too.
—Nepia, hurry.
—Yes, Master. Putting it in now. Ahhn, aaaah!
Nepia moved. The huge cock plunged deep into her pink pussy.
—Terius, this is goodbye. I'll live as Master's slave, maid. Someday bear his child. Three maybe? Live your life. Doubt anyone loves a filthy, one-armed cripple like you... but someone might.
—Nepia, harsh words.
—Huh? S-Sorry. But Terius is awful. The house—so cramped and dirty... nearly puked on entry.
—Heh, that bad? Back after five days?
—Sorry... Meant to stay a week per Master's order... but unbearable.
—What else from a worthless merc slave.
—Ah! M-Master! I'll move! Let me service you—stay still!
Nepia rocked her hips slowly, savoring his cock.
—Terius, Master gifted me ten billion Ner. Too much—buying dresses and jewelry. Wanna look good for him. Ngh... cock feels amazing...
She bounced, pussy juice squirting. She looked up, kissing Sung Yu-jin.
—Ngh... Honestly, nothing left to say. Doing this video on Master's say-so.
—Nepia, proper farewell. You were friends?
—Yesss, Master... Stick out your tongue... Mmm... smooch... ngh...
They tangled messily. His cock throbbed, flooding her pussy with cum.
—Heard that? Final goodbye. Gonna fuck properly with Master now... watch if you want. Bye, Terius.
Terius couldn't stop it. Stared blankly at the projection.
—Aaaaah! Master! Nipples too! Touch my nipples!
—Nepia, in heat? Missed my cock that much?
—Yes! Every minute, every second! Hngh, aaah!
—Heh. Didn't let that guy touch you?
—Terius? Why let filth like him? Ah! No more about him... fuck me harder.
—Always so tight and perfect. Whose hole is this, Nepia?
—My pussy and ass are Master's only! Mouth, tongue, tits too. Body, soul—all yours! Use me freely, Master!
—Naturally. Heh heh.
The video ended at dawn. Crackle— the orb shattered.
Terius sat stunned, then twisted in agony. Tears streamed. Mouth agape, twitching—silent.
The scream erupted late.
"Uwaaaaaaaaah! Aaaaaaaaah!"
