Chapter 104: Knight, Arise (4)
“…An Errant Knight. Is that what you just said?”
At my request to be dubbed an Errant Knight, the Emperor asked back with a look of utter bewilderment.
An Errant Knight.
You know how people say someone has a "history of wandering" when they hit on every woman they see?
In other words, "errant" or "wandering" refers to someone who doesn't settle in one place and roams around… something like that.
Therefore, you can understand an Errant Knight as a wandering knight.
Representative figures include Don Quixote or the Knights of the Round Table.
In short, it’s not just knights who roam aimlessly who are called Errant Knights; those who wander with a specific purpose are also called by that title.
‘Anyway, it looks like the Emperor didn't expect this at all. This is a good flow.’
I probably would have reacted the same way if I were the Emperor.
Why would the son of a Margrave—someone who could have a key position in the central government or the Imperial Guard position everyone dreams of—insist on becoming an Errant Knight, wandering around and doing dirty work?
However, for me, there is no position that fits all my conditions as perfectly as an Errant Knight… Well, it’s actually a bit ambiguous to even call it a "position."
Nevertheless, a knight is a knight. Moreover, I would be a knight personally dubbed by the Emperor.
And so… I finally spoke.
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
The Emperor, who had been hesitating for a moment with an unreadable expression, finally broke the silence and asked again.
“You must know well what it means to be an Errant Knight. Even so, what is the reason you make such a request of Us?”
“I crave your pardon for saying this, but it is because it has been my dream since I was a child.”
“A dream. Tell Us more.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
My dream.
It’s actually to have modest and beautiful noblewomen pinned under me, whimpering and… ahem.
For some reason, I feel like Sitri is mocking me in my head.
After taking a deep breath to calm my racing thoughts, I spoke again.
“Your Majesty, I have read many books since I was young. Among them were stories of a Sword Saint who slayed an evil dragon, and stories of a Sword Princess who traveled to various regions to hone her swordsmanship. Watching the stories of knights who traveled the world, wielding their swords for the suffering people and fighting against enemies stronger than themselves, I took up the sword. All while harboring a single dream in my heart.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes, Your Majesty. The current Empire enjoys an era of great peace under Your Majesty’s reign. All the people praise Your Majesty’s virtue. However, somewhere we do not know, there must be people who suffer. There must be people trembling, hidden in the darkness.”
“So you have dreamed of being a knight since you were a child. A knight like those in the stories.”
“Yes, Your Majesty. If I may be so bold, I wish to become a knight who devotes himself to the suffering people under Your Majesty’s name. I believe that is my only wish and my way of repaying the privileges I have enjoyed until now.”
“Hmm, We did not realize you harbored such intentions.”
Ugh, making up things I don't even mean in front of the Emperor is making it hard to breathe.
By the way, his reaction is a bit lukewarm… well, it’s better than him making a fuss.
Just as I took a breath during that brief silence.
Finally, a small smile played on the lips of the Emperor, who was looking down at me.
“Even with martial prowess that ranks among the best in the country, your heart, which seeks the lowly places without greed for fame, is truly precious. Furthermore, how many nobles would consider it a repayment for what they have enjoyed? Leon von Konstanz, you are an exemplar for all nobility.”
“Your Imperial Grace is immeasurable, Your Majesty.”
“We intended to keep you close, valuing your martial skill. However, if you harbor such intentions, as a King, We cannot possibly ignore them.”
—Sring…
Solomon VII drew the National Sword he had been leaning on from its scabbard.
Then, he lightly placed the sharp, blue blade on my shoulder.
“Never retreat before the enemy. Do good with courage and wisdom. Always speak only the truth. Draw your sword for those who suffer, and reach out your hand to the powerless. This is your calling.”
“I shall devote my life to that calling.”
“Knight, arise.”
Perhaps because I had been kneeling on one knee for so long, my leg felt a bit numb.
Of course, without showing any sign of it, I finally stood tall before the Emperor.
The Emperor immediately put the sword back into its scabbard and then held the National Sword out toward me.
“With this, you have become an Errant Knight dubbed by Us. We hope you do not forget your heart of today, seeking to place yourself in the lowly places.”
“I am overwhelmed with gratitude, Your Majesty. I will strive to live up to the names of Your Majesty the Emperor and Her Majesty the Empress.”
“Hmm? Not just Our name, but the Empress’s as well?”
“Is it not also the duty of an Errant Knight to exalt the name of the Lady he serves?”
“Hahaha, yes. We have heard there are such stories about Errant Knights. The Empress will be very pleased.”
“If that is the case, I could ask for nothing more.”
It feels re~ally good when things go according to plan.
Ah, of course, the Emperor’s summons and the Chancellor’s proposal to join the knights were completely unexpected…
But thanks to that, I was able to attract the interest of the Empress, who is tucked away deep in the Imperial Palace.
All that’s left is to make the Empress curious about me.
‘It was worth the struggle to conquer Andrasta. That first night alone was more than I could have asked for, but to become a knight personally dubbed by the Emperor…’
And as an Errant Knight, which basically means I can do whatever I want.
This is literally a jackpot.
With this, I can ignore my father’s orders to observe and report on the movements of the Imperial Capital and central political circles.
Moreover, I can move anywhere I want.
Also, as a knight personally dubbed by the Emperor with the alias "Lion King," I can now enter places I couldn't easily access before.
Thinking about it again, is it okay for things to go this well?
Well… while I was having those thoughts.
The Emperor, who had returned to his throne before I knew it, called Helena and Natalia.
“You two, rise as well.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
The Emperor then shifted his gaze back to me.
“You have worked hard since early morning. May the Holy Emperor bless the future of the young knight and the descendants of the Sword Saint.”
“Your Imperial Grace is immeasurable, Your Majesty.”
“This concludes the audience. You may withdraw.”
The sudden audience with the Emperor ended with an unexpected jackpot.
Furthermore, at the end, I even received a reward that made my eyes pop and a shield engraved with the Imperial Crest.
Now… all that’s left… is to share this joy.
*
Night had fallen again.
The curtain of night covering the Imperial Capital put everyone to sleep, but our night had only just begun… or so I thought.
“Haaah… Da…rling…”
—Splurt, squelch…
Valeria had already fainted.
To be fair, it was a bit intense…
However, it was still far from quenching my thirst, so this time I pulled Natalia into my arms.
“Wa-wait a moment…! If you put it in now…!”
“Haha, you know what?”
“Yes? What…?”
“Natalia, you love it most when I ram it in right when you tell me not to!”
“Guh-ook…!”
Pressing Natalia down so she couldn't move, I gave her cervix a firm poke.
Now as much as ever, Natalia loses her mind when I plow her like this.
“Haaah…! Master…! It’s, it’s too much…!”
“Shut up and just tighten your pussy!”
“Y-yes…!”
I can feel it.
Natalia’s vaginal walls wrapping around my cock all the way to the base.
The love juice melting and soaking me.
The sensation of her trembling skin and the pain of her nails digging into my back as she screams in pleasure.
“Kh…!”
“Ah, ah…! Hi…! Hic…”
—Gush, squirt…
As soon as I filled the milf’s pussy to the brim.
Even Natalia fainted with her eyes half-rolled back.
“Hmm… everyone seems sensitive today.”
Am I being too intense?
Still, making my women happy fills me with confidence as a man.
Thanks to that, I unconsciously reached out to the side, and my hand caught something hard and solid.
“Le-Leon! That hurts!”
“Ah, sorry. I grabbed your horn without thinking.”
Actually, Sitri reaaaally hates having her horns grabbed.
To the point where she even hates me touching them.
She says it hurts more than those of us without horns could ever imagine.
Besides, she said it’s a part that’s like a symbol of a Great Demon, like a crown…
“I’m really sorry. I didn't do it on purpose.”
“Hmph.”
Even though she acted like that on the outside, Sitri obediently came into my arms.
In the face-to-face sitting position, which is her favorite even though we’ve slept together countless times.
“Will you forgive me?”
“…We’ll see.”
“Then shall I seek the Great Demon’s forgiveness with all my heart and soul?”
First, a kiss full of affection.
“Haah… chu… mwah…”
Today, too, Sitri’s lips softly enveloped mine.
When I pry open her plump lips and mix my sweet tongue and saliva with hers, I find myself getting lost in it.
It wasn't just me feeling that way; Sitri whispered to me with an ecstatic look in her eyes.
“Haah… I love you, Leon…”
“Me too.”
—Plunge…
Before I knew it, I had inserted myself inside Sitri.
This demonic sensation that is indescribably soft yet tightly grips me with heat…
“Ahaang…! Haah, mwah… chu… mmph…!”
Moreover, every time I see Sitri biting and sucking on me as if she doesn't know what to do with herself because she loves it so much, I have this thought.
I can never let this woman go… that’s what I think.
Maybe that’s why.
My hand was already digging between Sitri’s white buttocks.
“Mmph?! Th-there is…!”
“Come to think of it, our Great Demon was sensitive in her back-pussy too~”
“I-if you do it now…! Kyaah…!”
Even though she said no, no, as I gently stroked the wrinkled skin, Sitri hugged me tightly again.
Acting spoiled as if asking me to touch her more.
I willingly soaked my finger in the overflowing love juice and slowly pushed it into her back-pussy.
“Ha…ah…! More, moore…!”
“You said you hated it so much at first, but now you’re enjoying it?”
“You’re the one who made me like this…!”
“Haha, then I guess I’ll have to take responsibility.”
I immediately made Sitri lie face down.
Hmm… as expected… no matter how many times I look at it, I never get tired of her backside.
The beautifully raised erector spinae muscles.
The perfect curves of her waist and pelvis that could be called artistic.
Her white buttocks like large peaches, and the two lovely light pink flowers blooming between them…
I willingly thrust my fully engorged cock deep into Sitri’s back-pussy.
“Guh…ok…!”
“Phew… I’m going to pull it out now. Okay?”
“Nng…!”
I saw Sitri clutching the sheets and biting the pillowcase.
The back-pussy is a place where the pleasure rushes in more when pulling out than when putting in.
Sitri was preparing herself in her own way for the wave of pleasure that was about to hit.
“Kya…! Hi, hieek…!”
As soon as I pulled it out all at once, Sitri collapsed.
As if all the strength had completely left her waist.
“We have a problem.”
If she goes this far, she won't regain consciousness for a while.
Of course, plowing her while she’s fainted has its own charm…
I looked back at my first woman, who had been waiting patiently until now.
“You’ve waited a long time today, Teacher.”
“Fufu, you showered me with so much love at the beginning. And…”
Helena willingly knelt before me and kissed the glans.
“And?”
“Since I can be held by the Young Master at the very end, it was worth the wait.”
“Hahaha.”
My hand naturally went to the top of Helena’s head.
Helena savored my gentle stroking and slowly swallowed me from the glans to the base.
“Hng…!”
“Kh…”
The sensation of her tongue moving incessantly and making me even hotter.
Her eyes, which didn't miss my reaction for even a single moment.
Today, too, I couldn't let my guard down for even a second during Helena’s fellatio… but.
‘It feels like she has something she wants to say.’
And so… before plowing her in earnest, I sat Helena on my lap.
“Young Master…?”
“If there’s something you want to say or a favor you want to ask, tell me. I’ll listen to anything.”
“That… Young Master, I…”
“Hurry.”
Helena, who was a bit embarrassed, finally came into my arms.
Thanks to that, I could feel it clearly.
The sound of Helena’s heart thumping.
Just as I was wondering what she was going to say…
Finally, Helena spoke.
“That… I wish for the Young Master to make me your Vassal Knight…”
“Vassal Knight?”
“…Yes. Since the Young Master has become a knight dubbed by His Majesty… shouldn't you naturally have a Vassal Knight…?”
Hmm… I don't particularly want to have such a person.
In the first place, there’s no need for it.
‘Come to think of it, she has this side to her.’
Suddenly, I remembered the womb tattoos I gave Natalia and Valeria on their lower bellies.
I also remembered Helena whispering to me to give her one as soon as she saw those tattoos.
In the first place, that tattoo is proof of being Sitri’s vassal, so it’s meaningless for Helena, who is a fellow contractor.
Nevertheless, Helena wanted to leave proof on her body that she was my woman.
‘I don't know exactly why, but…’
Since it wasn't a difficult task, I decided to do it.
The desire to have a more special relationship with this person, to have a deeper connection… that’s a desire anyone has if they’re human.
“I will give my shield to you, Teacher.”
“Thank you, Young Master. I will become your shield with this body and soul.”
Honestly, I thought it was just something cringeworthy…
But looking into those burning eyes, my heart starts pounding unconsciously.
…It’s definitely not because I’m fondling Helena’s breasts and buttocks.
“Haah… Young Master…”
Well, thanks to that, Helena seems to be completely heated up…
I willingly spread Helena’s beautifully long legs and looked at her pussy, which had bloomed lovely today as well.
“Even after being eaten like that, it’s still this beautiful.”
“Aahn, Young Master… it’s embarrassing when you look at it like that…”
“Hahaha. Then, I shall enjoy the meal.”
“Please enjoy it, Young Master♥”
And so, I spent the end of the day in Helena’s embrace.
The all-too-familiar body odor, the sensation of her skin, the feverish voice digging into my ears…
Now, I can't imagine life without Helena.
Of course, that goes for everyone.
“Haaah, guh… oh-hok…♥ Young, Mas, ter…♥”
In the end, Helena fainted too… but.
Thanks to that, I was able to wrap up another "stiff" end to a long day.
“Phew… I should get some sleep too…”
