Chapter 30: Fortress City Valihart

On the bed she got on all fours and the man’s hands stroked her white round ass.

He admired the sweetly elegant curve of her ass and gripped it firmly.

His hot hard throbbing cock was pressed between her ass cheeks.

The woman unconsciously held her breath.

(Ahh… finally, finally…)

The man knew every inch of her body.

She had even offered him her asshole.

But he stubbornly refused to cross that final line.

No matter how many times she came, a smoldering flame of dissatisfaction burned deep inside her.

Her womb begged to be filled with his scorching white heat.

And today he was finally going to cross that line.

The tip pressed against her dripping flower garden.

But he only rubbed up and down, refusing to push in.

She was going insane.

“Nooo. Don’t tease! Please, hurry! Put it in already! Take my virginity with your cock!”

Zun! The burning-hot rod invaded her.

Just that was enough for the woman to scream in ecstasy.

It reached all the way to her womb and began devouring her flesh.

“Best taste ever,” he whispered in her ear.

“More! Eat me more! Fuck every inch of me!”

She thrashed her golden hair and begged.

His hips answered by slamming harder.

Her inner walls were trained to his shape, becoming a toy made only for him.

She felt his cock start to swell.

Her womb knew it was happy.

It screamed to be impregnated right now.

“Please! Cum inside just like this! Breed my womb!”

His thrusts grew even wilder.

Any second now the lava would pour in.

And she would taste a deeper pleasure than ever before.

He pulled back for the final thrust.

She heard a thump.

Her heart pounded…

“Young lady, young lady… it’s morning? Today is the departure day, isn’t it?”

The loud knocking on the door woke Elfina Rogueia.

Her awakening felt heavier than usual.

She had stayed up late talking with her father and brother and drunk unfamiliar wine.

When she sat up she immediately noticed the problem.

Her lower half was completely soaked.

“No way… I…”

It had been an incredibly sweet dream.

She remembered screaming in female pleasure over and over in the man’s arms.

But it was only a dream.

She had not actually been satisfied.

When she woke, emptiness filled her.

Today was the departure day for Valihart Grand Fortress.

She would meet up with Kaito and the other Holy Knight candidates there.

The same day they met, the man would definitely want her.

Was her body already anticipating it?

“Just a few days apart and I’m already… like some kind of whore.”

She laughed self-mockingly and got out of bed to change her soaked underwear.

Eight days after leaving the royal capital Istaloon, Kaito and the others approached the northern stronghold of Valihart Grand Fortress.

Yet the southern side of the fortress looked so peaceful it was hard to believe a war was happening just over the horizon.

Wheat fields spread across the farming villages, and women could be seen milking cows while children harvested vegetables.

“There it is. That’s Valihart Fortress.”

Sofia pointed ahead.

Brick houses stood in orderly rows, their roofs covered in black tiles.

It looked more like a city than a fortress.

And behind it an impossibly huge wall stretched east to west.

“Valihart Grand Fortress was built to face the north. So the soldiers and their families live on the south side. Because there are so many people, merchants come from elsewhere to do business. What we’re entering isn’t the fortress itself but Valihart Town.”

“First drop the goods at the company store. Then meet Elfina at the inn. Elsa arrives the next day so we enter the fortress together…”

Sasha checked the schedule in her notebook.

Even after becoming a Holy Knight, Sasha had not manifested “Body Strengthening – Strong” or “Magic Ability – Magical.”

She had been diagnosed with a “Unique Original” special ability.

Several unique abilities had been recorded in the past, but from a military standpoint their value was questionable.

Blessings like “control animals” or “see through walls” tended to appear—things not very useful in combat.

But for Kaito that was secondary, even tertiary.

Just being able to make this beautiful, adorable girl his own was more than enough.

They delivered the transport goods from the capital to the company store.

The Grupp Trading Company, Sasha’s family business, did not own its own shops.

It was a pure wholesaler.

Valihart Grand Fortress, the Kingdom’s frontline, was also a major consumption center.

Many retail stores operated in the town, but until now only two wholesalers had supplied them.

“Now that we’re in, the other two are giving us the stink eye. But Papa and Mama were prepared for that. Delivering goods to Valihart Grand Fortress adds prestige. With this, the Grupp Company becomes the third-largest in the Kingdom.”

“Iris Company and Luftvan Company, right? Both are the Kingdom’s biggest wholesalers, backed by great nobles. How did you manage to break in?”

It was a natural question, not only from Sofia.

Sasha turned to Kaito.

“It’s thanks to you.”

“Me?”

“Yeah. During the march training you chose me and Elsa. Elsa had been watching the academy since enrollment. She thought if she connected with the daughter of Great General Phalanx, maybe she could get a recommendation. But she couldn’t find the right opportunity. Then you chose both of us. If the two of us became your Holy Knight Paladins, they’d put in a good word…”

Sofia looked surprised, then uneasy as she turned to Kaito.

Sasha’s confession basically admitted she had planned to become a Holy Knight out of calculation.

But Kaito only nodded silently.

Sasha looked up at him with anxious eyes.

“You’re… not angry?”

“Why would I be angry? That kind of calculation is only natural. There’s no rule that the only reason to become my Holy Knight has to be pure. Holy Knights are human too. They have all kinds of circumstances and motives. Complaining about that would be selfish.”

(…Do you really think any of them became your Holy Knight with zero calculation…?)

He remembered the words from the mistress of the Gloria brothel.

She must have had her own motive too.

But that did not diminish her charm or their memories in the slightest.

Kaito smiled at Sofia.

“Right. While we’re at it, I’ll ask you too, Sofia. Why did you become my Holy Knight?”

“U… w-well, I didn’t have any calculations or anything…”

“Liar. Sofia’s goal is Kaito’s seed. She wants to be bred and give birth…”

“Wh-what are you saying! I’m not like that!”

“Otherwise the Volfort family has no heir. I heard the next head is single and has no seed.”

“Is that true? And how do you even know that, Sasha?”

“Information is life for merchants. So we dig it up every way we can.”

The petite girl put her hands on her hips and puffed out her chest.

Beside her Sofia hung her head, face bright red.

“Brother is called the second coming of the Sword Saint, a genius, but even his heat cycles are like the Sword Saint’s. He doesn’t go into heat at all. Apparently Sword Saint Dominic Volfort was the same. Dominic had a younger sister, and he adopted her child as his own to become the second head of the Volfort family. His sister was a Holy Knight Paladin…”

“I see. So that’s why you, the sister, aimed to become a Holy Knight…”

“B-but that’s not the only reason I chose you! I looked at your character and decided with my own will!”

“I know.”

Kaito slipped an arm around Sofia’s waist and pulled her close.

He stroked the beautiful swordswoman’s flushed cheek.

“Since I was chosen, I’m responsible for the Volfort family’s future. Don’t worry. I’ll breed you properly. I’ll pump so much seed into your womb it’ll burst. Yeah. One might not be enough, so let’s make at least three.”

“U… y-you… how can you say such embarrassing things so calmly…”

“Kaito. It’s fine to go into heat, but not here. People are watching.”

They were right in the middle of town.

Passersby kept glancing sideways.

The inn they would stay at in fortress city Valihart was called the “Golden Stirrup Pavilion.”

The headmistress had recommended it.

She had used it often when she was a Holy Knight Paladin.

The walls were twice as thick as normal buildings, so no sound leaked to the next room.

The Holy Knight Paladins she brought could moan as loudly as they wanted.

“Elfina!”

He called out to the golden-haired beauty standing at the inn entrance.

He felt a gaze like killing intent.

When he looked, several young men were glaring with obvious displeasure.

They had apparently been about to call out to her.

Time to make it clear.

This woman was his.

He wrapped both arms around her and hugged her tight.

The surprised beauty’s lips met his.

She hesitated at first, then melted into the kiss.

His lower half was already hard.

He pressed his hips forward, making it obvious.

“Ahem… Kaito, we’re here too, you know?”

“Elfina must have been too much to resist. It’s those breasts again…”

When their lips parted the young men had already vanished.

Elfina, who had come back to herself, pushed Kaito away.

Face red, she pinched both his cheeks.

“You! What are you thinking, doing that in the middle of town!”

They carried their luggage into the inn.

They would meet in one hour and go out for dinner.

The girls had a triple room, Kaito a single.

While unpacking there was a knock at the door.

When he opened it the golden-haired beauty stood there, face flushed.

One look at her expression told him exactly what she had come for.

“I already put my luggage away so…”

“Hmm… so you came to beg, huh.”

He grabbed her arm and pulled her inside.

He wrapped his arms around her waist, hugged her, and ran his tongue along her neck.

“Ah… ahh…”

“Did that kiss make you wet? Or have you been wet the whole time we were apart?”

“N-no… I just… ahhh!”

His leg slid between her thighs and Elfina let out a small cry.

Inside her going-out gown skirt she was already drenched.

“Elfina, hands on the wall.”

Face bright red, Elfina placed both hands on the wall.

He quickly untied the strings of her skirt and slid it down.

Her ass, so beautiful it drew a sigh every time, was revealed.

From the pure-white panties came the thick scent of a female in heat.

When he untied the strings the panties fell with a soft rustle.

Her pink-tinged flower garden gushed honey in eager welcome for its male.

“It’s been a while since I tasted Elfina…”

He licked his lips and buried his face between her ass cheeks.

He slurped the marquis’s daughter’s virgin honey.

Her lovely brows furrowed as she let out beautiful moans.

That only fueled his beastly lust more.

Soon Elfina could not hold back and begged with a trembling voice.

“Please… I can’t hold it anymore…”

Tears in her eyes, she pleaded.

Kaito was not cruel enough to refuse.

He pressed his hot hard cock against the tiny wrinkled hole above her flower garden.

“Come… hurry, hurry…”

With a juchu sound he slammed all the way to the root.

A particularly clear cry of pleasure echoed in the room.

He rocked his hips, devouring her flesh.

The asshole he had violated many times was now perfectly shaped to his cock.

“Elfina really loves it in the ass, huh?”

“Nooo… it’s your fault… all your fault…”

She shook her head in denial, yet her ass meat moved to please the man.

He reached around and sank his fingers into her soaked flower garden.

The walls clenched tight while the folds writhed deeper inside.

Even though she was still a virgin, her asshole had been fully developed and her body kept storing more and more pleasure.

He barely held back the urge to devour her right now.

“You’re moaning so loud… Sofia and Sasha are right on the other side of this wall, you know?”

“No! Nnnhhh…”

She desperately tried to stifle her voice.

Her beautiful, tormented face only stirred his beastly lust further.

The grip of her asshole tightened.

He slammed his hips, pan pan slapping her ass.

Honey overflowed from her flower garden and pooled on the floor.

“Higuu… uuuuunnnhhh…”

Kaito stopped moving and told her the truth.

Her tormented face was good, but he wanted to see pure joy on it at the end.

“Elfina, don’t hold back. These walls are much thicker than normal. No sound will leak.”

“R-really?”

“Yeah… so moan as loud as you want. Look, you’re about to cum, right?”

He started moving again.

Elfina no longer held back.

“Ahh! It’s coming! I’m cumming! In my ass, I’m cumming in my ass!”

“You love it in the ass, Elfina… I’m gonna cum inside just like this.”

“I love it! My ass… my ass feels so good! I’m cumming… I’m cummiiiiiing!”

Thump! His cock shuddered and poured thick burning heat inside her.

Feeling that heat, Elfina shed tears of joy at the long-awaited pleasure.

Drool spilled from the corner of her mouth as her back trembled.

Still connected, he gently hugged her from behind.

“We’ll continue after dinner and a bath. With Sofia and Sasha too. Okay?”

“Mm… nn…”

Still lost in ecstasy, Elfina nodded.

They ate dinner in the dining hall on the first floor of the inn.

Walking around an unfamiliar town at night was not wise.

As expected from a place recommended by the headmistress, the food was perfect for a Hero Chevalier.

The soup made from deer bone and dried mushrooms was packed with vegetables.

The cheese bread had a rich wheat flavor and deep umami.

The grilled sausage was sprinkled with southern spices that stimulated the appetite.

Even tea with stamina-boosting herbs was served.

“I see. This really is food for a Hero Chevalier. But supplying all this must be tough for the Grupp Company. Breaking into the two big wholesalers couldn’t have been easy.”

“Yeah. I asked Elfina to put in a word there too. Grains and meat from the neighboring Rogueia marquis territory are now handled by the Grupp Company. They can transport deer, bear, and boar without salting, so they can deliver cheaper.”

“Oh, from the Rogueia marquis territory…”

While looking at Elfina, Kaito remembered.

The first time he met her father had been in the capital.

At that time the marquis had come to the capital for some kind of business.

The deal with the Grupp Company must have happened then.

Which meant the talks had been underway for quite a while.

“I only made the introduction. The rest was the Grupp Company’s own power. Father is kind, but he is not soft. Especially when it concerns the livelihood of the people in his territory.”

“Yeah. It wasn’t possible to handle every product from the Rogueia marquis territory. The basics of business are to start small and gradually expand the market. That’s what Mama said.”

“I see. So… there were moves happening that I didn’t know about.”

“Are you angry?”

“No. You were just being thoughtful, right? If we keep it as a story between academy friends, we can make excuses if outsiders ask. If one Hero Chevalier is at the center, people might suspect rebellion preparations.”

The Kingdom was a noble society.

It was a “world of monsters and demons” where countless political factions schemed.

Having four Holy Knights meant he could not stay completely detached from that world.

But right now he had neither power nor achievements.

He wanted to stay as far from the political world as possible.

“Father seems to have made up his mind now that I am becoming your Holy Knight Paladin. To protect us, the Rogueia family must become stronger. That’s what he thinks.”

Kaito nodded, then thought.

Taking four Holy Knights.

Just that was enough to drag in, move, and sometimes trouble many people.

And he could take no responsibility for any of it.

He could only be grateful.

“I’m still just a kid. Far from being a true hero…”

He muttered self-mockingly and put the meat in his mouth.
