Subjugating the Female General (16)
Adrian tried to still the trembling that rage had set loose in her body. Nothing was more dangerous than a mind coming apart.
"Ah, right — her mouth's gagged. Take it off."
Adrian had stayed silent in an effort to hold herself together, but Dong-hyun seemed to have taken it differently. A nearby guard pulled the gag from between her teeth.
"Ailes...."
Adrian ground her teeth as she spoke the name.
"Calling the Emperor by name so casually — do you have a death wish?"
"Hmph! Then kill me."
"Really? If you die, I'll just start the conquest of Kairan all over again."
"What the hell are you talking about?!"
Adrian snarled at his words.
"If you give up or die, I plan to conquer the Kairan Kingdom again. And I'll bring back another fun little toy from there."
"What...?"
He had no actual intention of doing any such thing. He'd said it deliberately, to keep her from throwing her life away.
"So do me a favor and keep things interesting. Don't let me get bored."
"Nnngh... we are not toys!!"
Adrian lunged at him in a fury, but the chains held her fast. She couldn't close even an inch of the distance. The iron links rattled and clanged with the force of it, and that raw, overwhelming presence made Dong-hyun flinch despite himself. The memory of how badly she'd beaten him during the night raid was still too fresh.
"Still... that body of yours is something else."
Dong-hyun looked down at Adrian, who knelt with her arms hauled overhead and chained in place. Her armor had been stripped away, leaving her in something like a full-body black bodysuit. Her thighs swelled as if they might burst the fabric, and even through the clothing her abs stood out in sharp, carved relief.
He approached slowly and ran his hand along her thigh.
"Last time I tried to touch you here, you slapped me, didn't you? Well? Want to try that again?"
Her body jerked at his touch, as if the contact itself were repulsive, but she was bound too tightly to pull away.
"Coward. Can't even take a woman unless she's tied up, is that it?"
"Hmph. I've got no shortage of women who'll spread their legs at a single word from me."
"They spread them because of your power — not because they want you."
"What would you know about that... Anyway, I don't like that tone of yours."
Crack!
He struck her across the cheek with the back of his hand. Adrian's head snapped to the side, but there wasn't a trace of fear on her face. That said, she didn't talk back either.
His hand traveled from her thigh to her stomach. The abs beneath his palm were rock-hard.
"Solid."
Thud! Thud!
Remembering the punch she'd landed on his gut the last time they met, Dong-hyun drove his fist into her abdomen twice.
"Hmph! You call that a punch? A child from my kingdom could hit harder than that."
Crack!
He slapped her again — this time for mocking him without so much as flinching from the blows to her gut.
"Still talking down to me? You'd be better off keeping your mouth shut until you learn to speak properly."
This one had landed. One corner of Adrian's lip split, and blood trickled down.
"Let's see how long you can keep this up against a child's punches."
He needed to break her spirit first. He pounded her abdomen, intending to keep going until she surrendered.
Thud!! Thud!!
He hammered her gut for a full five minutes, but Adrian endured it without a single moan. She really was a stubborn one. If anything, it was Dong-hyun whose arms had gone numb, his breathing turning ragged.
"Done already?"
The instant he stopped — his arms aching too much to continue — Adrian opened her mouth. She'd taken over five minutes of blows to the gut with her eyes covered, and her spirit still hadn't broken.
The informal speech again. He started to slap her, then stopped — his arm hurt too much. Good thing she couldn't see that. This approach wasn't going to break her easily. That much was clear.
He quietly began rubbing the abdomen he'd just been beating. The same stomach that hadn't so much as twitched under his fists now flinched at the gentleness of his touch.
"That hurt, didn't it? You did well."
"Wh-what are you..."
The hand that had been gently stroking her stomach slid upward, sweeping across Adrian's enormous breasts.
"Nngh..."
A groan escaped her, the sound of rage being held in check.
"Wow... they're this big and still this firm?"
He circled behind her entirely, wrapping his arms around her from behind, and seized both breasts in his hands. Touching a pair of tits that looked like they'd walked straight out of a porn video — and feeling them for real — was a strangely novel sensation.
"They feel good to grab, don't they? What? Want to slap me like last time?"
"You cowardly bastard!!"
Bound and unable to escape his hands, Adrian spat the curse through clenched teeth.
"Still haven't learned, have you?"
Dong-hyun drew the dagger he'd brought with him and pressed it to her throat.
"Hhk—"
A sharp, cold edge against her neck — the sound that escaped her was like air leaking from a puncture.
He had no desire to leave a scratch on that beautiful body, so he drew the blade slowly downward, slicing the black bodysuit open from her throat all the way to her navel.
A heavy sway—
Her massive breasts spilled free, rolling with a beauty that was almost hypnotic.
"S-stop! I am a Duke of the Kairan Kingdom. I will not endure this humiliation!"
Beating a prisoner or torturing them for information was one thing — that much was tolerated. But sexual violation like this ran contrary even to the laws of the continent. Of course, in practice it happened all the time. Officially, though, that was the line.
"A Duke of Kairan, you say? You've been abandoned for a long time now, and you're still talking like that?"
"The ones who abandoned me were the King and Duke Crops — not the Kairan Kingdom!"
"It's because you still say shit like that that you got caught by me, talent or no talent. And in the Krantz Empire, I do whatever I want. What are you going to do about it?"
He dismissed her words without a second thought and tore the rest of her clothing to shreds. Her dazzling naked body filled his vision.
She had a taut, athletic figure paired with breasts that were both enormous and exquisitely shaped. Her eyes were covered, but everyone already knew that face of hers was breathtaking.
"Damn... that's a hell of a body. Almost a waste to keep it to myself. Ah! Maybe I should just string you up in the capital square?"
Even Adrian couldn't bring herself to answer that one. He couldn't actually do it, of course — but from where she stood, it wasn't something she could afford to take lightly.
The tip of the dagger brushed against one of her protruding nipples.
"Big tits, so the areolae and the nipples are pretty big too, huh?"
Every time the blade tapped her nipple, she trembled just slightly. It was almost cute.
"And these abs — what's with all this muscle? Your thighs look pissed off too. Huh? Did you trim this yourself? It's so neat and cute. Red hair, so the hair down here is red too, huh?"
Under Dong-hyun's running commentary, Adrian's body seemed to flush red with shame.
"Now then... I wonder what kind of sounds the great Duke Adrian's nipples will make."
"Stop!! Please!"
That, at least, she truly couldn't stand. A plea, at last. But Dong-hyun had no intention of granting it.
"Ah, the smell... haven't been able to wash properly, have you?"
He made a show of sniffing at her breasts and underarms, inhaling loudly on purpose.
Adrian had thrown herself into the war against the Krantz Empire, fighting battle after battle with barely a moment's rest. There was no way she'd had time to shower. And after her capture, she'd been bound the entire time — washing had been out of the question. There was a musky scent coming off her body, but it wasn't repulsive. If anything, the smell of her skin came through even stronger, and it was a good smell. Still, she was a woman, and that particular point was more than enough to shame her.
Dong-hyun washed her with the bathing supplies he'd prepared in advance. He soaked a soft cloth and wiped down every inch of her body, which gave him free rein to grope and caress that intoxicating female form to his heart's content. Adrian trembled with humiliation, but she had no way to refuse his hands.
He even brought the soap he used himself and lathered her thoroughly, spending extra time on her breasts and nipples. Combined with the soaping, her taut body seemed to quiver even more. And to finish, he washed her pussy and asshole clean as well.
"Don't!! Nngh!!"
The moment his fingers touched her private parts, she tried to twist away. It was still useless.
After soaping her down, he scooped water from a basin and poured it over her.
"Hhh—"
The cold water hitting her naked skin sent a visible shiver through her.
Once he'd finished washing her, her pale skin seemed to glow even brighter. The only light in this underground dungeon came from torches, and even so, her naked body looked as if it were radiating light of its own.
He grabbed one of her lightly trembling breasts and flicked his tongue across the nipple.
"Haah..."
A lewd little breath escaped her. The scent of her skin layered with the Emperor's own soap made her taste even better. The nipple he was working so intently was growing harder and larger by the moment.
"Oh? Your nipples are standing at attention."
"Hmph! It's not because of you. It's the cold!"
"Hahaha. Is that so? Well, it looks good either way."
He wasn't just saying that. Adrian, bound in that alluring pose, was genuinely beautiful.
"Well then. Get some rest. I'll be back tomorrow. Ah — and don't be disappointed I didn't fuck you. I won't do it until you ask me to."
"Wh-what?! That's bullshit! You think I'd spread my legs for the likes of you?!"
He could have taken her if he'd wanted to. But that wouldn't have been any fun — not until she was the one begging for it.
