Subjugating the Female General (2)
Yuria's chambers were a hive of activity.
No fewer than ten maids had descended upon the room, putting everything in order. The Empress's apartments had always been kept immaculate, but word that Ailes would be coming that very evening had launched a full-scale deep clean.
"Serin? This sudden invitation to dine in my rooms — that's what I think it is, isn't it?"
Serin was Yuria's head lady-in-waiting. She had been Yuria's nanny since the days when Yuria still bore the Balanos name, and she was the person Yuria trusted above all others.
"Heheh. That thing you've been hoping for is finally going to happen."
"H-hoping? Who said I was hoping for anything?!"
Yuria's voice shot up an octave, her face burning.
"I've known since you were a child that you were infatuated with His Majesty Ailes. You do realize that?"
The fact that Yuria had fallen in love at first sight — the day she first entered the imperial palace and met Crown Prince Ailes — was a secret known only to Duke Balanos and Serin.
It was also one of the reasons the Duke had maneuvered to make her Empress. Yuria had pleaded for it, tirelessly, until he gave in.
And yet after the wedding, Ailes had never so much as glanced her way. The disappointment had cut deep. But this changed man standing before her now had melted her heart in a single stroke.
"But… he never even looked at me until now. Why would he suddenly…?"
"You're more than beautiful enough, my lady. Beautiful enough that any man would fall for you. Perhaps, just as His Majesty said, Adrian's slap knocked some sense into him?"
"Pfft — hahaha. You actually believe that, Serin?"
"They say a woman's heart is a reed in the wind, but men are no different. A heart can change at any time."
"Then… what if Ailes… gets tired of me after he holds me?"
Now that the opportunity had actually arrived, that very possibility seized Yuria with a sudden, lurching dread.
She knew all too well about Ailes's appetite for women. He never took the same one to bed more than three times.
"That's why you've been training all this time, my lady. And how could anyone refuse someone as beautiful as you? Have some confidence."
"Yeah… okay…"
She said the words, but Yuria could feel her confidence draining away by the second.
It was true she had been instructed in the bedroom arts as part of her bridal training — but that knowledge was purely theoretical. Tonight would be her first time putting any of it into practice.
While Yuria sat there wringing her hands, Dong-hyun was occupied with something else entirely.
After finishing his walk with Yuria and returning to his own chambers, Dong-hyun finally opened the status window and took stock of what Ailes was working with.
Emperor's Charisma(SSS) · Timid (C)
Sex Addict (B) · Inexhaustible Virility (A)
Master of Administration (A) · Military Studies Prodigy (B)
Tactical Genius (S) · Krantz Swordplay(SS)
Hand-to-Hand Combat (B)
Looking at the numbers alone, he had no real way of knowing how high any of this actually was.
Compared to the status window Dong-hyun had originally possessed, these figures were quite respectable. But this was a fantasy world. Without knowing anyone else's numbers, judging high from low was guesswork at best.
Still — an SSS-rank trait and an SS-rank skill. That much, at least, looked very promising.
For a washout of an emperor, the traits and skills were surprisingly solid. Most of it, he suspected, was the fruit of the successor's education Ailes had received since his days as crown prince.
Once this quest was complete, he would be able to bring one of Ailes's abilities back with him — a stat, a trait, or a skill. And the one Dong-hyun had already set his sights on was, of course, the SSS-rank Emperor's Charisma.
Radiates an aura by one's mere existence, lending persuasive force to every word and projecting an overwhelming presence.
Causes others to follow readily — far beyond what one's Charm alone would allow.
The wording was simple. But Dong-hyun already understood that this simple thing carried enormous power.
Even in the council of ministers — even facing a wastrel emperor — the words Dong-hyun had spoken had been enough to make the fiercely proud Duke Balanos himself concede the point. That was the kind of charisma this trait commanded.
Dong-hyun drew the sword hanging on the wall, curious to test another of the skills he now possessed: Krantz Swordplay.
Even at a glance, it was clearly a treasured blade, radiating a killing edge so sharp it seemed to cut the air itself.
This was the sword of Kranus Krantz, founding king of the empire — a weapon said to be able to cut through anything, and to amplify the power of whoever wielded it. It had been passed down from emperor to emperor, and now it had come to Ailes.
He took a light swing.
Dong-hyun had never so much as laid eyes on a real sword in his own world, yet the moment he swept the blade through the air, something about the motion felt familiar. The sword seemed to find its own path, guided by the forms of Krantz Swordplay as if the technique had always lived in his muscles.
It was only a hazy impression for now — but he had the feeling that if he kept moving, the shape of it would lock into place soon enough.
He sheathed the blade and hung it back in its place, then reached for the bell that sat in his chambers.
A clear chime rang out. Two maids entered with their heads bowed.
"I am to see the Empress. I will bathe first. See that it is prepared."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The two maids bent at the waist, then withdrew.
A short while later they returned with a knock and escorted him through.
The bath was already filled with warm water, rose petals drifting across the surface. Someone had added a fine oil; a clean, clarifying fragrance rose gently from the steam.
Then the two maids who had come in with him slipped out of their clothes without a word.
Dong-hyun startled — then mastered himself. Ailes's memories were full of scenes like this.
It took the maids only seconds to stand before him fully bare. Both were strikingly pretty, and their bodies more than matched their faces. True to their Western blood, their breasts were exceptionally well-developed — large, and taut with a springy firmness that made them look almost elastic.
When Dong-hyun's gaze lingered on their chests, one of them smiled faintly and stepped in close. Then, carefully, piece by piece, they began to undress him.
His cock was already fully hard. It was far larger and thicker than anything Dong-hyun had ever possessed in his own body.
Holy shit… this thing is incredible. Should I take this instead?
For a fleeting moment the sheer size of it shook his resolve. SSS-rank Emperor's Charisma or not — this was an item that might actually be worth it.
He shook his head hard and shoved the thought away.
Get a grip. That's the devil talking.
The maids took his hands and guided him into the tub. Warm water closed around his body, and the sensation was blissful.
One maid stood behind him, pouring water over his shoulders and working her hands into the muscles of his back. Every time her full breasts brushed against his skin, a soft, yielding warmth spread through him that made the whole thing feel even better.
The other knelt in front, massaging his thighs as she attended him. Her breasts swayed in and out of the water with every movement, and Dong-hyun's hand found its way to them of its own accord.
He was twenty-five years old and had never been with a woman in his life. With a body like that serving him at arm's reach, not touching her was never an option.
Her breast filled his palm with a pliant, velvety give. For something so large it still had plenty of spring, and the feel of it under his fingers was dangerously good. The maid made no move to stop him. She simply kept kneading his legs, as if this were the most natural thing in the world.
Encouraged, Dong-hyun brought his other hand up as well and began to play with both of her breasts however he pleased, rolling and squeezing them at will.
"Pardon me, Your Majesty."
The maid in front spoke suddenly — then ducked beneath the water, wrapped her hand around his cock, and took him into her mouth.
It was something Ailes had the maids do for him all the time.
She swallowed him down underwater, sucking in a steady, hungry rhythm, then surfaced just long enough to gasp a breath before diving again.
It was the first blowjob Dong-hyun had ever received, and it nearly unmade him. The pleasure was so intense he let his head fall back — and felt the other maid's breasts press warm and full against his spine. He reached behind himself and groped her freely while the one in front worked him with her mouth.
"Nngh…"
A low, helpless sound spilled out of him before he could stop it.
After holding her breath through perhaps six long descents, the maid in front came up for good and spoke.
"Then… I shall get on."
She took hold of his cock and lined her pussy up against the head.
Wait. I'm going to lose it like this?
Dong-hyun hesitated for a heartbeat — then the pleasure drowned out every objection. He would have preferred his first time to be with a named character. He could not refuse this.
Whatever. If I get one round out of the way now, I'll last longer with Yuria.
That was the self-serving logic he settled on — the certainty that if he went to Yuria in this state, he would finish in seconds.
The maid began to sink down, easing him into herself by degrees.
"Haaahn…"
A moan slipped out of her as well. Even she was struggling to take him. The cock was so large that simply getting it inside took a considerable stretch of time.
At last she settled fully into his lap, impaled to the root — and then she began to move. She rolled her hips with a practiced, devastating rhythm, rocking forward and back even as she rose and fell.
Dong-hyun reached up, palmed the breasts swaying in front of him, then pulled one to his mouth and sucked. Between the nipple on his tongue and the tight, slick heat working him below, he knew he would not last.
He let the nipple slip free, leaned back against the maid behind him, and came.
The maid on top did not stop moving even after he finished. Only once she had wrung him dry did she lift herself off, sink back underwater, and take him into her mouth again, cleaning him with slow, thorough pulls of her lips.
Dong-hyun sat there in a daze of something close to awe. He had finally done it. He had finally lost his virginity.
His entire life until now had been games, every day, in his room. He had barely even masturbated. Sex had never interested him. And now he had just walked into an entirely new world.
Holy hell. Sex is fucking amazing.
And it had been with an A-rank beauty, no less — which only made the whole thing feel better.
When it was over, the maids drew him up out of the water, worked up a lather, and washed him with meticulous care, every inch. Somewhere in the middle of it he hardened again. This time he bent the other maid forward over the rim of the tub and started fucking her in earnest.
