Messenger Rose (2) - Exhausted on Horseback
Messenger Rose (2) - Exhausted on Horseback
"Haa... Ugh...! She- Sherin... Aah...!"
A languid, heated moan escaped her lips.
And with each violent up-and-down jolt of her body—
Her ample chest, seemingly about to burst through her thin robe, swayed wildly.
But that wasn't the only thing paralyzing Rose's senses.
[ Rub- Rub- ]
An intense frictional heat constantly transmitted from her inner thighs, and even more intimately, from between her valleys.
"Rose-nim, are you alright? Perhaps we should slow down a bit..."
Sherin's face flushed at Rose's passionate cries tickling her ears.
"N-No... Hngh! Don't slow down... Keep going just like that... Haang!"
"...Th-Then I'll keep going..."
"Haat- Yes! ... Ugh- Uuungh-!"
But the seductive moans were endless.
Sherin steeled her resolve, telling herself there was no other way—
[ Clop-clop, clop-clop, clop-clop- ]
...She tightened her grip on the reins.
The horse galloping down the road, Sherin riding it.
And Rose, clinging behind her, constantly thrusting her hips.
'...I have to endure...!'
Rose, with tears welling in her eyes, hugged Sherin's waist tightly and shook her head.
They had chosen a wide detour to the south to avoid Helius's borders,
so they had to maintain some speed when galloping on such a wide, well-maintained road.
[ Press- ]
'...I have to endure...!'
Sherin, too, was biting her lip and trying to quell the heat.
Every time Rose, frightened by the speed, hugged her waist tightly,
the soft sensation of her breasts pressed against Sherin's back.
Moreover, the texture of her nipples, fully aroused and erect, was transmitted clearly, constantly disturbing Sherin's mind.
Each time, Sherin's breathing would falter, making her riding unstable,
and if the horse's recoil intensified, Rose would hug Sherin even tighter in a mix of pleasure and fear—
It was truly an endless cycle.
"Ugh... S-Stop! Sherin, just a moment...!"
Rose, experiencing horseback riding for the first time, finally declared surrender with a scream.
"Haa... Haa... I really thought I was going to die..."
As soon as she dismounted, Rose's legs gave out, and she plopped down by the roadside.
When she had ridden slowly inside Deluna Castle, she thought it was nothing much.
But once they left the territory and galloped seriously on the road, the recoil and speed transmitted throughout her body were beyond imagination.
"I'm sorry. I should have ridden more gently..."
If only she hadn't been so nervous from that dizzying sensation from behind—
Sherin bowed her head, blaming herself for Rose's suffering.
"No, it's not your fault, Sherin. It's just that I'm not used to it. But I'm getting used to it, so don't worry too much."
Rose rubbed her burning inner thighs and looked up at Sherin.
"On the contrary, Sherin, you seem to be a very good rider, don't you? I didn't know you could ride so fast even with me on your back."
At Rose's light admiration,
a faint shadow crossed Sherin's eyes, and then a calm voice emerged.
"...My hometown was a plains region. I came from a knightly family in a small city with endless plains. So I rode a lot when I was young."
"Ah... But how did you end up in Helius..."
"...It was Lord Helius's doing. He crushed my family by falsely accusing them of rebellion. My parents and retainers were all massacred... Only my younger brother Ailan and I were dragged away like spoils of war."
Sherin's voice was dry, but the depth of the pain she suppressed within it made Rose's heart ache.
Because she knew all too well what the silver-haired beauty, who had lost everything and been dragged away, must have endured afterwards.
"I became Theodore's plaything for his achievements in subjugation, and my brother was taken to the Lord's castle. Theodore promised that if I spread my legs obediently as he commanded, he would one day officially appoint me as a knight and bring my brother back to my side."
"...That bastard..."
"At first, I believed that promise. Even while being ravaged every night, and staining my sword with blood when he needed me to.
But he kept making excuses and didn't keep his promise... And when I finally couldn't bear it and drew my sword against him..."
Sherin subtly stroked her lower abdomen.
The place where, until recently, a hideous Mark of Obedience had been carved.
"As a price for my resistance, he carved the [Mark of Obedience] into my body. To make me a doll that could never rebel while alive, and would burn up and die with my master if he died."
"......"
"But it's alright now. Thanks to Rose-nim and Lord Balthazar-nim, I've escaped from that hellish chain."
Sherin offered a faint smile.
She still had to save her brother.
It was a difficult journey with no guarantee of success.
But just breaking free from that curse, which she thought she could never escape, allowed her to smile a little, even now.
"You'll definitely be able to bring Ailan back too."
"Thank you. And... Rose-nim's... magic side effect... you'll definitely be able to resolve that too."
"Huh?? ...That's just... it's not important... so let's just forget about it for now and not worry too much."
"I won't forget. It's an important matter for Rose-nim."
"No, I said forget it..."
"Hehe."
Watching Sherin laugh softly, as if serious yet playful—
Rose found it hard to believe that the kind woman before her was the same person who had exuded terrifying killing intent before leaving Deluna.
Considering the hellish past she had endured,
that blade of anger was certainly understandable and more.
A few days ago, in the lowest level of Deluna Castle.
Inside an underground dungeon, incomparable to the solitary cell Sherin had been confined in,
where not a single ray of light entered, barred by iron bars.
Sherin's gaze was cold as she looked down at Theodore, who was bound in chains, in a wretched state.
[ Groan- ]
Theodore, groaning in unknown pain, raised his head at the sound of someone approaching.
When he saw Sherin stepping into the cell, a mad glint sparked in his dying eyes.
"She- Sherin...?! Sherin!!"
[ Clank- Clank-! ]
He frantically shook the chains binding his limbs, shouting in ecstasy as if he had met a savior.
"Quick... quickly release these chains! No, before that, kill all those arrogant Guardian bitches! Hurry! That's an order!!"
"......"
"...?? Sherin...??"
Her gaze was chillingly cold.
Her attitude, looking down at him like street filth, without even a twitch.
Even Theodore, who was crumbling in pain,
had no difficulty realizing that Sherin's current demeanor was seriously wrong.
"Sherin, you lowly bitch... Are you insane?! Have you forgotten what happens if you disobey my orders?! Do you want to taste the pain of your heart burning?!"
"...Do as you please."
"You bitch... If that's your wish, let's die together! Burn! Mark of Obedience, burn up!!"
The situation was hopeless anyway.
With the genuine intention of dying together, Theodore screamed, veins bulging in his neck.
But his desperate cry, mixed with anger, pain, and murderous intent—
failed to create any change and merely echoed through the silent underground dungeon.
"Burn! You crazy flame, quickly burn that bitch down!"
"......"
Sherin, who had been quietly watching his desperate and ridiculous struggle, slowly lowered her hand and unbuckled her leather pants.
[ Click- ]
As her pants slid down below her hips, her smooth, white pubic bone, without a single scar, was revealed.
"......??"
The place where that hideous black pattern, which he had licked and sucked as if to reaffirm his ownership every time he embraced Sherin, should have been.
There was nothing there.
"That can't be...! That magic should be impossible to erase...!"
"...I didn't come here to show you something like this, or to see your disgusting face."
At Sherin's cold voice as she adjusted her clothes, Theodore finally realized that even his last thread of hope had vanished.
The face of the knight, who had been endlessly arrogant before his possession, was instantly covered in cringing fear.
"She- Sherin...! Save me! I'll talk to the Lord and save Ailan! No, yes! I'll defect to Deluna too! Please tell Lord Balthazar-nim about my worth! You know that no one can rival Theodore's skill!"
Though he could no longer hold anything with his two punctured hands.
Theodore babbled and pleaded, banging his head on the floor.
[ Clank-clank- ]
His grotesque figure tried to crawl over and grab Sherin's leg somehow.
Sherin's gaze, looking down at him, sank coldly.
"Don't utter my name or my brother's name with that filthy mouth."
Unbearable rage surged within her.
Rage at herself for being deceived by such shallow lies, devoid of even a speck of sincerity, and having to spread her legs every night.
"Hmph..."
But Sherin forced herself to calm down.
It's not too late.
I will save Ailan with my own hands.
I will break this evil connection with this trash here and start everything anew.
[ Shing- ]
Sherin drew the dagger she had prepared.
"She- Sherin? What are you trying to do...?"
"I won't kill you."
"...What? But why the knife all of a sudden...?"
"I'm going to send your wrists to those filthy bastards in Helius. As a warning."
"What...? What did you say...??! No, wait, Sheriiin-!!"
[ Slice-! Snap! ]
"Aaaaaaaargh-!!!"
Rose, waiting outside the cell, couldn't bear to watch that scene and squeezed her eyes shut, turning her head away.
"So now... shall we depart again?"
A cautious voice and a gentle smile, showing no trace of that chilling gaze from before.
But Rose's heart couldn't be entirely at ease looking at that face.
'Instead of trash like Theodore, I'll have to worry about how much my crotch will burn again, won't I?'
"Ugh... Yes. Let's go."
Rose squeezed her eyes shut and climbed back onto the saddle.
[ Clop-clop- Clop-clop- ]
After galloping for a long time, as the evening glow dyed the sky red.
The sight of a considerably large city appeared in their view.
"That must be Caldera. It seems we haven't lost our way and came correctly."
"Yes... I... only trust... Sherin..."
Rose, completely exhausted and clinging tightly to Sherin's back, could only nod her head with difficulty.
Caldera, a commercial city located slightly above the center of the Lumen Kingdom.
It wasn't as overwhelming a metropolis as Deluna,
but as a strategic transportation hub connecting the east, west, north, and south of the kingdom, it was quite vibrant.
Entering the outer walls, brick buildings lined up, and smoke from chimneys preparing dinner rose above them, dyed red by the sunset—
While the wide main street was bustling with people coming and going, creating a noisy din—
It was a peculiar city where tranquility and commotion coexisted.
However, Rose, exhausted on horseback, had no energy left to appreciate the scenery.
So the two rode their horses towards the inn that first caught their eye on one side of the bustling street.
"Do you have a room for two women?"
"Preferably... spacious... clean... and quiet..."
The moment they opened the inn door and stepped inside.
The boisterous noise of the evening stopped,
and the gazes of the customers filling the hall all turned towards the two of them.
Their dazzling beauty, impossible to hide even with cloaks covering their entire bodies.
The noble bearing of the knight walking straight towards the counter.
And crucially, the Longsword at her waist, with a pattern clearly indicating it was no ordinary weapon.
Thanks to Sherin's extraordinary aura.
(Rose was staggering, her legs trembling.)
No one among the drunken men dared to make any crude advances, which might typically happen.
Everyone just glanced and whispered in low voices.
- They came on horseback, are they knights?
- That sword she's carrying is no joke.
- Is it a noble lady and her maid traveling from some famous house?
"Miss... no, Madam, no, Swordsman-nim, I should say... I will prepare the largest room on the second floor, in the back. How about dinner?"
As the innkeeper, also overwhelmed by Sherin's presence, hesitated with his address and asked,
"In the room... please... just bring it up..."
Messenger Rose, for whom everything was a bother, mumbled.
With her body heated with Lust, she now lacked even the energy to think of Lust.
All she wanted was to collapse onto a soft bed.
