Lord Cassian (4) - The Savior
Lord Cassian (4) - The Savior
Thud!
The headless corpses of the Guardians fell to the floor.
Beyond them, a black-haired man sheathed his longsword, pushing it into its scabbard.
"......Who are you..."
"...."
The man did not answer.
He merely surveyed his surroundings with sharp eyes, then looked up at Rose, who was hanging from chains.
Even in the darkness, there was no lust in his gaze as he looked at Rose's lustrous naked body.
What Rose could feel was only one thing: his pity.
Step, step.
The man slowly approached.
But somehow, Rose wasn't afraid.
She even felt a sense of peace in her heart.
The man, now close, carefully cupped Rose's cheek.
"Poor thing. What a terrible thing you've endured."
It was a pure touch of pity and comfort, unmixed with even an inch of lust.
Rose, too, could feel it deep in her heart.
But unlike her mind.
Rose's body, thoroughly modified by Cassian, felt something else.
Just from that simple touch, which conveyed another's body temperature.
"Hngh...! Ah, ahh...."
Rose's waist arched alluringly.
Though only firm fingers had touched her cheek.
Her entire body was hot, as if an electric current flowed through it.
Her nipples stood erect, and pleasure fluid flowed down between her legs.
It's a male's touch.
I want to be touched.
I want to be held.
Hurry and suck me, lick me.
Please, fuck me.
She bit her lips until they bled.
Not speaking the words filling her mind aloud was the best Rose could do right now.
"Ugh... Aahng..."
But even though her mind knew it was wrong, the bitch's body, steeped in pleasure, rubbed its thighs together on its own and let out lewd moans.
Right now, she wanted to lift her two legs and wrap them around his waist.
She was wishing she could rub her thoroughly wet space between her legs against the man's clothes, even if it was just over them.
Just then.
"You bastard...!!"
A furious shout.
And a shadow rushing towards them, past the entrance.
A sword silently slicing through the air, surrounded by blue energy, mana.
It was Cassian's trusted knight, Guardian Kael.
"...!!"
All those movements happened in an instant.
By the time Rose realized something, Kael's sword was already falling towards the man in front of her.
But the black-haired man, without withdrawing the hand that caressed Rose's cheek, without even turning his head, slightly twisted his body and extended his other hand backward.
Thunk-
The sound of flesh tearing or an impact wave exploding was not heard.
What Rose saw was,
the black-haired man's bare hand stopping the Guardian's full-force mana sword strike.
"You... you bastard... surely not...!"
"Where is Cassian?"
The man turned his body from Rose and looked at Kael.
Crack-
With a dull sound, the sword Kael held in his hand shattered.
'A sword imbued with mana... with bare hands...?'
"This monster...!!"
The moment Kael shouted something and was about to unleash mana, the man, who had let go of the shattered sword, aimed his finger at Kael's forehead.
Flick-
A streak of light flowed.
Just as Cassian had done once before.
A hole was pierced in Kael's forehead.
"Ah... ahh..."
What is this? Is this person a Lord too?
Then why is he killing Cassian's Guardians?
To save me? What does he want to do after saving me?
Is it sex? To touch me, bite and suck me, and fuck me?
Extreme fear and confusion.
Even amidst that, her body, in heat, was aroused.
Rose, still bound by chains, lost consciousness.
***
A familiar ceiling, a familiar sensation, a familiar atmosphere.
Where Rose woke up was Cassian's bedroom.
"...!"
Rose swallowed a scream and sat up.
But at a different sensation, she looked down at her body and saw that she, unlike usual, was not naked but wearing neat casual clothes.
And a person came into view.
Sitting on a chair beside the bed was not Cassian, but the black-haired man she had seen in the dungeon.
"Don't worry. There's no one left in the castle. That coward Cassian must have sensed my arrival and already fled."
Rose doubted her ears.
The words he uttered floated in her mind.
A coward?
That monstrous Cassian fled?
Weren't Lords omnipotent Dominators in this world?
Just who was this man then?
"Ah. I'm a Lord too. My name is Lucian."
An answer as if he had read her mind.
As Rose flinched in surprise and trembled her shoulders, Lucian smiled kindly.
"It's not some ability to read minds or look into souls. No, can you even call reading emotions from expressions an ability? But right now, anyone, not just me, could read your face."
A gentle voice, kind eyes.
But Rose still hugged the blanket and couldn't let go of her guard.
Cassian too, at first, had treated her like a noble lady, gently and delicately, before defiling her.
"What's your name?"
"...It's Rose..."
"Yes, Rose. A name as beautiful as your face. Even if I say I'm different from trash like Cassian... to you now, it would be an unbelievable statement, wouldn't it?"
Lucian stood up from his seat and said.
"For now, rest a bit and compose yourself. I won't leave you here alone. Once you've recovered your strength, I'll take you wherever you wish."
Rose still couldn't fathom the man's intentions.
Why was he helping her?
Imprisoned in Cassian's castle, transformed into an embodiment of Lust, even seeing this lewd body, why did he not harbor even an inch of lust?
But at the words 'I'll take you wherever you wish', faces immediately came to Rose's mind.
"Uhm, excuse me...!"
"Yes?"
"The Entertainment District... Please take me to the Entertainment District in the western city. I don't need to rest. It's a rough journey that takes several days, but... Please, please, I beg you...!"
Cassian had sent knights and said he would kill the people.
A lot of time had already passed, and everything might be meaningless.
But without confirming it with her own eyes, she couldn't bear it.
If even one thing, or one person, remained.
Thick tears fell from Rose's eyes.
Lucian quietly looked down at Rose, who was pitifully clinging, then nodded.
"If you're that desperate, let's go right now. But..."
Flash-
Behind Lucian's back, dazzlingly pure white wings of light sprouted.
"It won't take several days."
***
Rose was flying in the sky.
Even including her past life, it was her first time looking down from such a high place. Living a hand-to-mouth existence as a 'dirt spoon' person, she had never even ridden an airplane.
Incredibly fast speed, so fast that it was hard to keep her eyes open.
But she wasn't scared.
Because Lucian's two arms were wrapped around Rose.
Because he was holding her in a firm embrace.
"Hngh..."
But now.
Rose's body, with her arms wrapped around his neck and almost buried in his chest, was screaming in a completely different sense.
Lucian's arms were supporting Rose's back and thighs.
His fingers gently pressed against her thin clothes.
Every time his body heat was conveyed, Rose's skin grew hot, as if burned by fire.
To resist the wind, Rose's ample breasts, pressed tightly against his broad chest, were pleasantly squeezed in rhythm with his heartbeat.
'Crazy, crazy... Please stop, no...!'
Her nipples felt like they were hardening.
What can I do? Her breasts were touching him.
Her erect nipples were pressed against his chest.
'No... no...!'
[Squeeze]
Unlike her inner thoughts, Rose's honest body tried pressing her nipples a little harder.
No. Not enough. A little more.
Not satisfied with that soft sensation, she slowly and gently moved her chest against the man's chest and rubbed her nipples.
[Squish]
'...No... but it feels... so good...'
Now she couldn't think of anything.
Not even that this place was the sky.
Not even that this man holding her was kind and gentle but an omnipotent Lord.
She just wanted the warm hand wrapped around her waist to move a little further in and press her soft lower breasts,
and the other hand supporting her thigh to come in a little deeper and touch her depths.
The moment she subtly looked up, her face flushed with lust, she met Lucian's gaze, who was looking down at her.
"......!"
Rose's face felt like it would burst, it turned red.
His words about reading emotions from expressions came to mind.
It felt as if he could see right through her, how lewd her imagination was right now and how wet she was.
But Lucian merely offered a faint smile.
In the hand holding Rose, not even a hint of lust was felt.
That fact made her feel ashamed, but...
[Soft]
Rose put more strength into both hands wrapped around his neck, and subtly moved her body up and down slightly, unable to stop rubbing her nipples.
Lucian merely continued to smile.
***
After flying for a long time, as the sun began to set.
Familiar city walls. Amidst the familiar cityscape.
In the middle of the Entertainment District, at Women of the Rose, Rose, who arrived, collapsed right there.
"Ah... ahh...."
All that remained there was so charred and collapsed that its form was unrecognizable, only the remnants of buildings.
No trace of people remained.
Only bloodstains that dyed the ground red everywhere made one infer that a terrible massacre had occurred here.
"Just why... for what reason would someone do this...."
Rose clutched the ashes and wailed.
Lily, Madam, Khan, and the other ladies.
The people who smiled at Rose.
All of them had turned to ashes. Without a trace.
"Cassian's doing, it seems..."
"Aaaahhh-!!"
Rose fell to the ground and screamed.
What was even more miserable.
Even at this very moment.
Lucian's hand, which gently embraced her shoulder to comfort her, was making her feel lust; her crazy body.
She couldn't bear it anymore.
"...Hold me."
Even through her tears, seeing Rose's red eyes glistening with lust.
"Please..."
Lucian no longer smiled.
