Chapter 94 - 93 Sarna and Emina
A short while after the exam ended.
An emissary of His Majesty appeared at my hospital, and I was summoned to His Majesty's presence.
"Lately, your hospital seems to have an exceedingly good reputation, does it not? My own court physicians would do well to follow its example, but they arrogantly believe themselves to be special. When it comes to evaluation, self-assessment is utterly worthless. What fools they are..."
What is this... He seems incredibly irritated and in a foul mood.
If they're that bad, I feel like telling him to just hire good doctors, but I play it safe and bow my head.
"Thanks to your favor, I am managing somehow."
As I bowed my head, His Majesty began to mutter as if to himself.
"They say human desire is bottomless, and lately I've been thinking that more and more..."
"Are you referring to the arrogance of the nobles?"
He nodded deeply and began to recount what had happened up until now. Attacking the palace, laying hands on the national treasury's gold, sabotaging the war—he said it was a problem before even considering victory or defeat.
"And, I understood all too well from this recent tournament. This country has been eaten away by the nobles! I realized that both the Imperial Knights and the Imperial Army were the weakest of soldiers. Thanks to that, the nobles are beginning to shift from obedience to rebellion. The one who will be the vanguard of this is likely Duke Schweitzer. That fellow is trying to gather soldiers without spending money. However, he is being extremely vigilant to avoid leaving any concrete evidence. Shivans... you are the only one I can rely on!"
Despite the national treasury being empty, he brought out a single platinum coin.
"Shall I assassinate the Duke?"
"I do not desire such a crude act. Let that fellow raise an army! I want you to investigate when, where, and with how many soldiers he plans to do so. Understood? Likely, other nobles will be drawn in and raise their own armies as well, won't they? It's perfect, as we now have a large number of disposable soldiers who have been eating for free for years! Wahahaha!"
His Majesty, laughing with dark eyes, was a little frightening, but when I asked him to take care of the female knight guard, he said with a smile, "I won't treat her poorly."
The Duke's territory, which I had marked with Hawk Eye.
It was heavily guarded. Not only the highways, but even people entering and leaving the territory capital were under watch.
(This is practically screaming 'I'm going to betray you,' I think... which is exactly why the Emperor has him marked. The other palace spies couldn't get in and were struggling, so that's why I was chosen, I suppose.)
Duke Schweitzer's great-grandfather, the Emperor's younger brother, was granted the title.
It seems he contributed to the country... but the current head of the family is said to be around 70 years old. He apparently also served as Prime Minister under the previous Emperor. Now, he's the type of person who openly and unashamedly declares, "Originally, it wouldn't have been strange for me to be Emperor." He seems like a man with nothing but high pride, but is the reality truly as the rumors say?
I used Instant Movement to go to the location and infiltrated the Duke's mansion.
Using 'Presence Concealment' and 'Concealment,' I sneaked in and looked through various rooms. The mansion was so vast that just investigating it seemed like it would take an entire day. It was then that I heard the hushed voices of servants talking.
"They say there's another council meeting tonight. That's not a meeting or anything, right?"
"Shh! Your voice is too loud. If we're heard, we'll lose our heads. Well, he's an old man who's basically selfishness personified. If he doesn't like you, you could be killed... The people attending must have it unbearable!"
That was an interesting thing to overhear.
I'll definitely join in too!
There was a third son of the Duke who was treated poorly, so I got him drunk on alcohol.
"No way. Have you forgotten? It's me! Shivans! Look, the adventurer!" When I said that, he had the kind of personality that wouldn't let him admit he'd forgotten, and he said in a great mood, "I remember you!"
"I want to participate in the meeting too!"
"In that kind of meeting? You're an odd one. There's no one there who actually wants to attend, you know?"
And so I obtained the qualification to participate.
In the evening, people with gloomy faces shuffled in, sighing as they gathered in the Great Hall. There, on a conspicuously high platform, was a lecherous-looking old man wearing an upper garment but with his lower half completely exposed. Beside him were two nearly naked women.
Wondering what he was doing, I saw he was having them suck his foul-smelling cock with slurping sounds. I wondered how everyone could stay silent in this situation, but they probably couldn't speak up. I could imagine that his subordinates had become corporate slaves, enduring power harassment, sexual harassment, and moral harassment.
He was a small old man who looked like a kindly grandfather, but he had an almost monstrous intensity about him.
There, he listened with a smiling face as his subordinates reported that the gathering of gold, food, and soldiers was 'not progressing well.'
They must have desperately crawled around and rushed about.
But it was clear that this feudal lord had neither popularity nor virtue among his people, and I could hear the silent screams of their hearts saying they couldn't achieve the desired results. After hearing the reports, Duke Schweitzer slowly opened his mouth.
"Gold, food, soldiers—none can be gathered...? Could it be that everyone here is simply incompetent? Don't you think so too?"
When he asked the steward beside him, the steward quietly bowed his head in agreement.
All of the subordinates had dark expressions and hung their heads. Of course, having someone perform fellatio while listening to reports is sheer madness. The two women also had twisted expressions, forced to lick a cock that wouldn't get hard no matter how long they tried.
Then, the Duke asked the man who had reported 'soldiers cannot be gathered' why they couldn't be gathered, smiling as he listened. The man, sweating profusely, answered, "With all due respect..."
"Is it not... because they fear that if they become 'rebels' against His Majesty, their entire family will be hunted down and executed?"
He stated his opinion while trembling with fear.
Everyone knew that was just a surface reason. The true feeling was that no one wanted to share the blame for a rebellion for the sake of a Duke like this.
Then, he suddenly began asking a strange question.
"Is the reason I cannot get an erection due to my age? Or is it because these two are unskilled? Which do you think?"
Everyone had a look that said, 'What is this old man talking about?' but no one could answer. They thought it was because of his age, but if they said that, they would be killed. If they said it was because the women were unskilled, the two women would likely be killed. Unable to say either, everyone fell silent, and the Duke declared, "This is a meeting. Speak your minds freely!"
The question flew to the man who had failed to gather soldiers: "What do you think?"
With a pale face, he looked around and said in a small voice, "I don't know..." At that very moment, he was cut down from behind. The one who cut him was a member of the Shadow Corps under the steward's command.
Despite a man being cut down, Duke Schweitzer began to laugh.
"Unable to answer even a simple question like this, so of course you can't gather soldiers! The answer is that I cannot get an erection because these two lack the heartfelt desire to serve me with all their might! That fellow also failed to gather soldiers simply because he didn't try his utmost for my sake. Do you understand?"
Everyone turned pale and nodded.
And then, as the two women were also about to be cut down, I stopped it.
"Please wait, my Lord. These two are pleasing to the eye, but they are women who have yet to know a man. If that is the case, if they are trained as sex slaves, it may be possible for them to acquire lewd techniques that will bring you pleasure."
He twitched and stopped his killing motion.
"I see... What you say has some merit. Then, do you have any good advice for these incompetents who cannot gather soldiers?"
If I do well here, it seems I might gain his recognition.
"May someone like myself answer you, my Lord?"
"I permit it! You may speak!"
It was a grandiose way of putting it, but I'll do my best to prevent the two from being killed.
"The peasants are exhausted and would be of little use in battle. Moreover, if the peasants were to die here, would it not hinder future governance? That does not seem a wise strategy. If asked what to do then, I would say that capturing mercenaries, who are professionals of war, or bandits and criminals who will draw no complaints even if they die, and placing Slave Marks on them would provide immediate fighting strength, and the people would also be grateful to you, my Lord. So to speak, it would be killing two birds with one stone, I believe."
He laughed happily and asked in a good mood, "Is there anyone who opposes this opinion?" With no other options available, everyone indicated their agreement.
"Who are you? An unfamiliar face."
"Until recently, I was an adventurer. My name is Shivans. Please forgive the impertinence of a mere adventurer for answering you directly, my Lord."
He laughed heartily, "Good!" he answered.
"A far more sensible answer than from these incompetent sons, grandsons, and subordinates lined up here! Hire mercenaries, mobilize all troops, and search for those bandits! Capture them alive without fail! And in two weeks, we will invade the Imperial Capital where the Emperor resides!"
The Duke told me to assist as well, so I answered, "As you command." Capturing criminals is my specialty.
"Indeed, Shivans. I shall give you Sarna and Emina over there."
"I am most grateful."
I managed to save them somehow and felt relieved.
After leaving the Great Hall, I spoke with the two frightened girls. They were both 19 years old and introduced themselves as daughters of vassal nobles with the Knight Title. Believing they were going to be trained by me and turned into sex slaves, they seemed to be crying in fear.
"That was a lie. I'll take you back home to your families. Rest assured!"
Taking both of their hands, I used Instant Movement to go to Sarna's family home first. Her parents were surprised and overjoyed, but seeing their daughters' scandalous attire, they seemed to have guessed roughly what had happened.
The mother covered Sarna and Emina's bodies with something like a bath towel.
Not knowing who I was, they asked their daughters with anxious faces, but the daughters could only say, "We just met him a moment ago, so we don't know."
"Please excuse me. I am Shivans. I am on a secret mission for His Majesty. It may be hard to believe immediately, but I hope you can trust me based on the fact that I saved your daughters from Duke Schweitzer."
Sarna, Emina, and Sarna's parents were surprised but believed me, given the proven deed of saving them.
Then, pressing the point, I told them that this land would soon see destruction, and Sarna's father nodded. I then said I wanted Emina's parents to come here as well to discuss the future, so I carried Emina and used Instant Movement to bring her parents, siblings, and even their servants.
Both families had a poor feel to them, reminding me of the old days.
Thinking I was staring rudely, Sarna laughed and said, "For a noble, you thought this was a poor house, didn't you?" Sarna is the type to bluntly say whatever she's thinking.
"My family also held the Knight Title... but we lived an even poorer life. To be honest, it was a life not much different from that of slaves..."
The people of both families were surprised at my words.
First of all, this large number of people couldn't possibly fit into this house. So, I invited the entire families of Sarna and Emina to my territory, the White Castle.
Overwhelmed by the dazzling appearance, and when a luxurious meal was prepared, everyone was astonished.
Sarna complained, "You're not poor at all!" so I was forced to say something like an excuse: "I said 'in the old days,' didn't I?"
Emina said, "It's more amazing than the Duke's mansion!" and the others looked around in wonder, saying, "It certainly seems so..."
"Hey, hey, Big Sister! Even though it's night, it's as bright as daytime!"
Sarna and Emina's younger siblings were frolicking.
While everyone was entranced by the sound of a music box, I had them all change into formal wear and let them enjoy the food and drinks. Both Sarna and Emina had five siblings each, and both were the eldest daughters, but each had an older brother above them. Then, with alcohol in their systems, Sarna and Emina told the story of how they met me.
At the council meeting, Sarna and Emina honestly told everything about how they were made to suck Duke Schweitzer's cock in front of a large crowd while nearly completely naked. Then, when they told the story of how a subordinate was killed right before their eyes and they were almost killed next, Sarna's older brother voiced his doubt: "Why did you have to be killed?"
"It was absolutely miserable. We were forced to reluctantly suck that smelly cock. And that shitty old man couldn't get it up at all! And then he said it was our fault."
Her blunt words made her brother completely recoil.
Emina continued after Sarna's words.
"We weren't used to it either, but we tried our best... thinking it was for the family, we endured and did our best! With everyone watching our breasts and all..."
When she said this with a face on the verge of tears, Emina's older brother said, "To think my little sister was doing something like that. That's a total turn-off!" and gave her a look of contempt.
Apparently, Sarna's older brother was engaged to Emina. And Emina's older brother was supposed to be engaged to Sarna, but both older brothers were completely disgusted.
"My little sister... with that old man's cock..."
"When I imagine it... marriage is... out of the question..."
The two older brothers' piling on made Sarna and Emina look like they were about to cry. So I questioned the two brothers.
"What exactly did you two do to stop your future wives when they were taken away by the Duke? Did you not think to rescue them? Surely you could have imagined what would happen after they were taken away?"
I pressed the two as they faltered for words.
"These women put their bodies on the line to protect you and your families! And yet, you look at them as if they were something filthy... Shame on you!"
Sarna and Emina regained their spirits.
"Now that you mention it, before I was taken away, my brother kept staring at my chest and groped me several times, though over my clothes! He's a total pervert, but a coward! I was going to keep it a secret from Emina, but oh well!"
As Sarna's brother panicked, Emina now exposed her brother.
"My brother is on a whole other level of crazy! He peeked at me in the bath and stole my underwear to masturbate! I was going to keep quiet about it to Sarna, but there you go!"
The parents of both took their eldest sons out into the hallway, and soon, violent noises and the screams of the two brothers could be heard. When the parents returned, they bowed their heads to me once again, saying, "We thank you for saving our daughters' lives."
The two brothers were battered and seemed to harbor a grudge against me, so I said, "Let me take you to a nice place," and threw them into a cabaret club and a soapland. When I told the girls at the shops that the two were virgins, they squealed with excitement.
"If you make them come, I'll give a bonus of 10,000 G separately!"
"Leave it to us!"
With that, the two brothers would be drained until morning.
The shop owners said, "Give it your all! The feudal lord is paying a bonus! Everyone, drain them dry!" and made the two brothers gulp down alcohol laced with tonic. Groping the breasts of cute and seductive women, the brothers were in high spirits, saying, "Shivans really is a great guy!"
For the rest of the families, I prepared a luxurious meal and drinks. Sarna and Emina were in a great mood, gulping down sweet fruit wine and exclaiming, "It's delicious!"
"I'm glad you like it."
"This is the first time I've had something like this! It's amazing!"
Sarna was tipsy and in high spirits.
"It would be a sin to say I didn't like it!"
Emina was also in a good mood, making toasts.
When we bathed together, using shampoo and conditioner and body soap, and then hair removal cream to make them smooth, Sarna asked, "Are you really planning to make us sex slaves after all?"
Emina also gave me a suspicious look, so I had them look in a mirror and said, "You have beautiful bodies, so I just made them even more beautiful." They seemed convinced.
As the three of us soaked in the bathtub, Sarna asked me hesitantly, "What should I call you?" I replied, "Shivans is fine. As long as it's not a strange name, feel free to call me whatever you like." Then Emina complimented me, saying, "Are you younger than us? But you were so dignified and cool standing up to that Duke Schweitzer!"
Since they were concerned about my age, I told them I had turned 17.
"Looking closely, you're quite handsome!" Sarna said, and Emina added, "I thought so too! You feel older than us, don't you?" I wanted to say that I'm an old man inside.
"Hey, hey, is it true you're a secret agent for His Majesty?"
"I wanted to know that too. The security was really tight, wasn't it?"
When I said I wouldn't easily reveal secrets, Sarna said, "Tell us!" and lunged at me. Her breasts pressed against me, which felt nice.
"Sarna-san... your breasts are touching me."
"It's fine. This body was toyed with as he pleased by that shitty old man anyway. Even my brother despises me... Everyone already knows..."
She looked sad, so I whispered in her ear, "If it were me, I'd be happy to be approached by a beautiful woman like you, Sarna-san." She seemed to shiver with pleasure.
"What's this! You two... leaving me out!"
Emina pressed herself closely against my side.
"H-hey... Emina-san, your breasts are touching me too."
"I'm doing it on purpose! Between Sarna and me, whose would you rather fondle?"
"How could I possibly choose? And besides, assuming I'm going to fondle them is strange, isn't it?"
The two laughed merrily.
"You don't want to fondle them, Shivans? As thanks, you can play with me as you like, okay?"
Unable to resist Sarna's sweet temptation, I fondled her and licked her nipples. As soon as a sweet voice escaped her, Emina got angry.
"Hey! Sarna! I know you're aching because they used that drug on you! I... I'm a virgin too, but I want to be touched!"
And so, under the pretext of "thanks," I ended up inviting Sarna and Emina to bed.
Both Sarna and Emina said they disliked how politely I spoke.
"It feels so distant. Even though we're about to have this kind of physical relationship?"
"So it's already a given that we're having sex. Are you sure someone like me is okay?"
Sarna happily said, "Yes, yes! That tone is much better!"
"Don't say 'someone like me.' If you hadn't been there, both Sarna and I would already be dead! Both Sarna and I are still virgins, so hold us gently, okay!"
"That's right! Besides, both Emina and I have no value as women anymore. We were made to lick that old man's cock in front of everyone..."
When I said that wasn't necessarily true, both shook their heads.
"My brother said those things too, didn't he? Men in the world aren't as kind as you."
Sarna said sadly, and Emina clung to me, saying, "I like you! The thought of being able to offer my virginity to the man who risked his life to protect me makes me excited!"
"Ahh! That's not fair! I like Shivans too! I like you much, much more than Emina does!"
It looked like a fight might break out, so I kissed Sarna. "I'm sorry... my mouth... is dirty," she said sadly.
"I don't mind that at all! Come here, Sarna!"
I took Sarna to the bed and caressed her body as if devouring it. After casting 'Pain Resistance' and 'Fear Resistance' and repeatedly caressing her, she began to get incredibly wet. When I asked, "Is it because of the drug? Or are you just very sensitive?" she replied, "A woman gets wet when she likes someone! It wouldn't be like this with that old man!" and when I inserted my cock, she was clearly excited.
When I relentlessly stimulated her G-spot, she said, "Ahh... it feels good... thank you for taking my virginity..." and began to come lightly.
"Ufufu... Sarna, you have such a lewd body, you're already coming."
"I won't deny being lewd, but Emina, you'll definitely be made to come too!"
After experiencing her first orgasm, when I hesitated to come inside, she tightly wrapped her arms and legs around me and said, "If it feels good, let it out! I don't care if I get pregnant!" and made me release.
When it was over, she said, "I have to clean you up properly!" and willingly performed Cleaning Fellatio on me.
Next, when I held Emina, she said, "This is completely different from masturbation! It feels incredibly good! I understand why Sarna went crazy... I could get addicted to this!" and I had her experience her first orgasm. Emina, as if it were only natural, tempted me, saying, "It feels better for you to come inside, doesn't it?"
"You came a lot. It felt good for me too!"
Emina also willingly performed Cleaning Fellatio on me.
When they realized I could still go, the two took turns being held by me.
After making them both come many times and putting them to sleep, I used Instant Movement to go to the palace and left a memo for His Majesty.
[Enemy strength unknown. Marching in two weeks.]
He should know it's from me with this.
If the enemy has more than ten thousand soldiers, they would likely arrive at the Imperial Capital in a month. However, there aren't many soldiers in the capital right now. And I feel the Duke doesn't even have ten thousand soldiers at this stage.
During the late night, I returned to the Duke's territory capital, captured 20 criminals, and threw them into the Military Police jail.
The next morning.
I invited Sarna, Emina, their parents, and younger siblings to the shop on the first floor and let them freely buy swimsuits, casual clothes, and the like. They were delighted when I also let them buy lewd underwear, shoes, sandals, and accessories.
The two older brothers appeared at breakfast completely exhausted, saying, "This place was a dream paradise... Thank you, Shivans!"
"I always thought my brother was crazy, but..."
"Mine too. He's become even more of an idiot..."
Sarna and Emina looked at their brothers with contemptuous eyes.
