"Hahahahaha! You really did it?! You actually did it! You actually did what I told you to do?!"
"G-gr... Kill me...!!"
At the man Shin Seon's uproarious [1]laughter, Eleonora turned her head away and squeezed her eyes shut, as if wanting to hide her crimson face.
'D-disgraceful...! I was prepared for it, but this is far more humiliating and shameful than I imagined...!'
In her 28 years of life—short or long depending on perspective—she had always been met with awe and respect. She never imagined she would be forced into such a degrading posture and made to utter such vulgar words by some scoundrel of unknown origin.
"So, how does it feel? Showing your breasts and pussy so openly to a strange man."
"It means... nothing... Things like breasts and a p-pussy... Just because I show them to you... It's not shameful; I just find myself pitiful for having to obey your vile demands...!"
"Re~ally?"
Trying to steady herself by thinking she was protecting her sword, that this was a threat, and that she was forced into it, she even referred to her own genitals with crude terms in an attempt not to lose the psychological battle. But the man, Shin Seon, as if seeing right through her, asked:
"But the most lewd pose you could think of was that kind of pose?"
What was he trying to say now? Was he going to say he'd changed his mind because he didn't like her attitude? Eleonora unconsciously gulped, but what came back was Shin Seon's roaring laughter.
"Ahahaha! This sow! From the outside, you seemed like a rigid female unfamiliar with these matters, but seeing you like this is something else! Who would have thought you'd so blatantly expose your privates just because I told you to pose! And you're not even ashamed of it?"
"Wha-what?! Th-that's wrong! This is, this is... I didn't..."
She needed to refute him.
She had to argue against that vile mouth.
But no words came out.
From the start, even Eleonora herself didn't know why, upon hearing the words 'the most lewd pose you can think of,' she had struck this obscene pose, openly exposing her breasts and pussy.
'Why... why did I take this pose...?!'
It was a ridiculous threat she was forced to comply with; she could have just said she didn't know, screamed that she had no idea, and vaguely mimicked whatever he said. But before she knew it, she was already sitting with her legs spread wide in a vulgar manner, exposing her armpits.
It was a pose she had taken almost unconsciously.
"Does this happen often? Well, with a body like that, how could you survive without a man?"
"Are you insulting me?! As if I have any experience with men! I am a knight! How dare you insult me, a knight, as if I were some cheap whore from a brothel!"
Sexual experience? She had lived her whole life devoted to loyalty to the royal family and her sword. Most men were either her enemies or rivals, so naturally, she had no experience with the opposite sex.
And he was treating her like some loose woman from a brothel?
"Retract that! Such an insulting remark!"
"Then shouldn't you tell me why you took that pose?"
"Gr...!"
Why? Even she herself wondered why she had unconsciously struck that pose. Clearly, the villain before her had given her a choice.
Moreover, she had seen the lust in his eyes as he looked at her breasts and buttocks, so no matter what pose she took, he would have called it lewd and been satisfied, so why?
Taking advantage of Eleonora's confusion, Shin Seon had already re-entered the pen and began circling around her, who was still holding the pose.
"Hmm... I wouldn't know. How would I know if you've had a cock in that filthy pussy or not?. But if you're not lewd, and that's not why you took that pose...
From an outsider's perspective, wouldn't it be natural to think you've had experience with men, or at least some similar experience somewhere?
If that's the case, tell me. Then I'll retract that particular remark. I'm saying this not to the sow, but to the knight Eleonora, so give it a try."
"Ugh..."
Indeed, as he said, she had had a similar experience. Before reaching her current peak position, back when her blood still ran hot—an awkward thing to say for someone not yet thirty—it was a time when she was even more passionate than now.
But talking about this meant recounting the memory she most wanted to erase from her past. It meant telling this villain about the humiliation, shame, and disgrace she suffered then.
The moment she spoke of it, she would undoubtedly feel tremendous shame and disgrace again. But it was to protect her honor.
Being treated absurdly as a sow or whatnot by this villain was infuriating enough, but how dare he mock her as if she were some loose woman selling her body in a brothel?
But paying no heed to her inner turmoil, Shin Seon-dong brazenly reached out and touched her body as if there was no problem.
"Don't touch me...! Keep your hands off my body...!"
"Then talk. If you don't speak, I'll be forever mistaken about you, won't I? Thinking, "Ah, she's trembling; she must be in heat from my touch. she really is such a lewd sow, as I thought.'"
"D-don't joke...! As if I would...!"
'This bastard...! He's deliberately stroking the scars on my body...!'
He was tracing the scars that were marks of her knighthood, touching them directly, yet slandering her as a loose woman.
It's a trap.
This must also be a trap.
He's trying to shake her to pull some trick.
That's why he not only made her take this pose but is now trying to probe her most shameful memory.
"So come on, speak up. To clear up the misunderstanding, I need to know the circumstances, and to know the circumstances, you need to tell me. Then I can retract it or whatever. I'm a good master, right? See, I even set your sword up nicely like this."
He was insulting not only her honor as a knight but also her purity. She wanted to break the hand stroking her belly right now, the moment she broke free from this infuriating posture.
But why? Eleonora's hands seemed frozen stiff; no matter how hard she tried, they wouldn't move.
'Using that strange power on me again...!'
Despicable bastard! Vile scum! To possess such immense power that can render a Grand Master immobile and yet use it to toy with a knight!
Moreover, he had done something without her noticing, making her legs tremble.
Just like she herself had hesitated to speak on that day.
'B-but I must speak... This is to protect my honor... Should I feel disgrace over a past event...?! This is merely a momentary humiliation for a future victory. So...'
Biting her lip once more, where a trickle of blood had flowed, Eleonora finally shut her eyes tightly, as if determined to ignore the vile, serpent-like hand resting on her belly, and spoke.
"I... I..."
"I can't hear you well... And speak clearly, without stuttering."
"...When I... was still a squire! The knight order I belonged to was given a mission to subdue a band of thieves entrenched in the kingdom. They were despicable scum who raided villages, molested women just like you are now, and sold them into slavery—veritable cancers on the kingdom that deserved to be slain."
'Th-this bastard's hand...!'
The hand that had been toying with her toned abs like a child playing on a jungle gym began to slowly move downward.
"And so? What happened when you went to subdue them? It's an interesting story; go on, quickly."
Before she knew it, the man's hand had reached her lower belly, fondling her lush platinum pubic hair. All Eleonora could do, apart from her lips trembling, was to finally open her eyes slightly and glare at the man who was stroking her pubic hair as if grooming livestock.
"The Queen's Majesty, the commander at the time, said the thieves' mountain stronghold was larger than expected and we needed more information, urging caution... But the princess, who had just become a knight like me, and I, both full of youthful vigor, were dissatisfied with this. That night, the two of us secretly infiltrated the stronghold alone, and then..."
"You got caught?"
"...Yes."
Disobeying a superior's orders and acting recklessly was a memory she wanted to forget in itself. But perhaps the thieves of that time wanted to make an example of her for stepping forward to protect the princess.
"At that time, those bastards said this. 'In case you have weapons hidden on your person, take everything off. Take off your armor, your clothes, everything, with your own hands, right in front of us.'
"Hmm..."
The story of a pitiful (by the standards of the time) female knight who, burning with a sense of justice, tried to realize it with a comrade but was captured by the enemy. Shin Seon listened expressionlessly to the sow recounting that humiliating story, which was shameful just to recall, and reached out towards Eleonora's pussy as if touching a strange animal.
"Hyuuk?! What are you doing?! Why, why to my privates—"
"I'm putting my hand on your pussy. What does it look like? Continue; don't mind me."
"Eeeek...!"
For her first experience of a man's hand on her pussy to be this shameless villain!
But despite her grimace, Eleonora continued her story as if it were a separate matter.
