Chapter 05: The Birth of a Hero*

— Lalatina 'Darkness' Dustiness Ford —

Putting herself at Noire's mercy was a risk.

Noire seemed incredibly nice, talented and sweet, but she of all people knew that nobles and royalty were very good at hiding their true nature behind a smiling mask.

As Noire's hand came to her breast, she shuddered at the look in the princess's eyes as she squeezed the massive breast roughly.

Noire had changed her clothes, replacing her obviously expensive dress with a black tight leather corset and matching thong, and despite her misgivings she couldn't deny the shiver of anticipation that ran through her.

"Look at the size of these, you chose the wrong profession, pet. You could far make more on the street corner with a body this slutty than you're making as an adventurer," Noire taunted, slapping her breasts as she moaned, completely soaked already.

She did need this though, and she wanted to see Noire's true face, how she would act with someone completely at her mercy. S-she was doing a good thing for her party!

"You'd probably enjoy it more as well, wouldn't you?" Noire asked, squeezing the breast again as Darkness moaned quietly. "You'd enjoy me taking you back to Axel dressed like this, being sold to whoever wants a turn."

"I- I would," Darkness admitted, ashamed of her nature as Noire giggled.

The idea of Noire pimping her out to anyone who wanted to fuck her, to use her, sent a shiver of dark pleasure through her.

She'd considered it, when people would hit on her or stare at her body, offering them her virgin body for a price, or even for free… but she'd always wimped out.

"You're going to be fun," Noire giggled, leaning forwards and placing her pouty lips against her mouth, planting a gentle kiss on her lips (Her first kiss for that matter) before she pulled back. "The safe word is 'Banana', say that and this stops immediately. If you don't say it, I'll assume you want to keep going no matter what you're saying," Noire warned in a quiet whisper, making Darkness nod quickly.

"Y-yes, Mistress," Darkness agreed, making Noire smile sweetly and place another gentle kiss on her lips before she moved back, the smile turning into a wicked smirk.

"You know, you aren't the first big, strong warrior I've had submit to my loving touch, but it'll be fun to see how far that endurance of yours goes," Noire said with a smirk, looking over her naked body as Darkness blushed.

"Lift your hands above your head," Noire ordered after a moment, watching as she immediately obeyed, lifting her hands and gulping as Noire magically guided the chains above them to shackle her wrists, spreading them in a Yshape above her head. "Tell me, would you prefer I start with the pain or the pleasure?" Noire asked, her tone husky as Darkness shuddered again.

"P-pain, mistress. Please hurt me," Darkness begged, having already decided to fully throw herself into this encounter. She'd tried hurting herself, but her endurance meant that she never really felt it…

Noire was right, she loved getting hit by monsters, she felt disappointed when the others killed them and the pain stopped. She didn't think she was deliberately missing so she could get hurt more but… she couldn't deny she didn't mind giving her opponents more time to attack her.

She was a liability, it was no wonder Kazuma was always annoyed with her even if Megumin and Aqua were too nice to call her out. She needed someone to take her to hand, and Kazuma was just too much of a virgin to do it himself.

But Noire was a different story, the younger girl was obviously experienced with this kind of relationship. Maybe Noire was exactly what she needed.

Walking over to the wall, where countless toys hung, waiting to be picked, Noire grabbed a riding crop and gave it an experimental swing.

Putting it back, she pulled a thick black whip from the wall next, cracking it with an obviously expert hand.

"What do you think, pet? Should I start with the crop or the whip?" Noire asked, making her shudder.

"T-the crop, mistress."

The crack of that whip was rather intimidating even to her. With her fate sealed, Noire gave her a cruel smirk moving back towards her.

"Normally I'd start smaller, this is your first time after all, I'd start with spanking your curvy ass until it was red raw, then move up to a paddle as I trained you… but I don't think I need to do that, do I?" Noire asked, making Darkness shake her head quickly. "You would barely even feel me spanking you… but I think you'll feel this."

Raising her arm, Noire pulled the crop back and then swung it forwards, striking her directly on her breast as she let out a moan.

She'd spanked herself and even paddled herself with her hairbrush, but they barely satisfied her depraved need for pain.

Her natural defence muted even the sting of the crop, but Noire wasn't stupid and her eyes narrowed briefly before she smirked.

Running her hand over the crop, she whispered something quietly as the crop briefly glowed, before tiny sparks started to come off it.

"I suspected your endurance would be a problem, so let's try this~" Noire said, pulling her arm back again before she swung once more, the crop leaving a trail of sparks as it approached her breast.

This, Darkness felt, the magically imbued crop sending an electric shock through her body as the crop left a harsh red mark on her breast, a loud depraved moan slipping out of her

Oh fuck…

Shuddering, she knew a river of her arousal was already leaking down her legs, pooling under her as Noire smiled. Had she just cum?

"That's better, isn't it?" Noire asked, running the crop across her flesh as it tingled, sending tiny shocks through her body.

"Y-yes, Mistress," Darkness moaned lewdly, making Noire smile. "Please, hit me more!"

Whatever plans she had to test Noire's true self had vanished from her mind already as Noire giggled sweetly.

"Such a horny little thing, you've been holding back for far too long," Noire whispered. "You won't need to rely on monsters to scratch that itch anymore, pet, by the end of tonight I plan to work all that stress out of you and leave you fully satisfied."

Bringing the crop down on her ass, Noire giggled again as she moaned in pleasure, not wasting any time as she swung the crop again and again.

Noire was right, this was far better than getting hit by monsters, every strike sending a shudder of pleasure through her body.

Chris had suggested that she find someone to indulge in her fetishes, but Darkness was a sub at heart, she couldn't bring herself to be the one to make the first move.

No, she needed someone to notice what a massive masochistic slut she was, to take control of her and take the choices out of her hands.

She had hoped Kazuma would be the one to do it, given his reputation, but despite his scumminess, he was obviously completely inexperienced with girls.

Noire was most certainly not. She'd never actually considered a female partner, a mistress, but she couldn't complain about how things had ended up as she came again, the crop striking one of her nipples harshly.

She had no idea how long Noire cropped her body, leaving harsh red marks all over her as no part of her body was neglected, but as she climaxed again, having lost track of how many times Noire made her orgasm, the shackles holding her in place released her.

Without the support, she collapsed into a satisfied puddle of flesh, making Noire giggle again.

"Hmm, I planned to go further than this but I think we should stop it here. I might have gotten a little carried away, but I don't think you mind," Noire said with a smirk, helping her back up onto shaky legs.

"N-no, I don't Mistress," Darkness said quickly, feeling more relaxed than she had in ages even as her body stung from the rough treatment.

"Good girl," Noire whispered, giving her another kiss before she moved over the side of the room, pulling out a bottle. "Now, lay down on the bed."

Unsure where this was going, but unwilling to defy Noire she moved to the bed and laid down on her back, watching as Noire climbed onto the bed next to her, pouring the contents of the bottle into her hand.

As Noire started to rub the creamy substance onto her body, the lingering pain started to fade, making her smile slightly.

A part of her wanted the pain to stay, but it was… sweet that Noire was taking the time to make sure she was okay now that the fun was over, even as Noire spent a considerable amount of time massaging the cream into her breasts, a playful smile on her face as Darkness moaned again.

She was pretty sure Noire didn't need to slide her slender fingers into Darkness's pussy as part of the aftercare, pumping them into her as Noire leaned down and planted her lips around her nipple, gently nipping it and sucking as Darkness felt another climax rapidly approaching.

Noire did say they'd start with the pain, which meant the pleasure could come later as Dariness whimpered and moaned, writhing under Noire's expert touch.

As Noire drove her to another climax, she moaned lewdly as she arched her back, trying to push her body further into Noire's touch, making her mistress smile as she pulled away.

"Did you enjoy this?" Noire asked, even as she flipped her over and got to work spreading the cream into her back, placing a light playful spank on her buttocks as she went.

Did she enjoy this? Was that a rhetorical question? Hadn't Noire watched her cum time and time again, listened to her sweet moans and pleas for more?

"Y-yes. Thank you, Mistress Noire," Darkness said, making Noire giggle again.

"Then you're up for a repeat?" Noire asked, making her nod rapidly. "That's good. Next time we can go a little further, I didn't want to overwhelm you and scare you off on your first time after all."

It got more intense? The more Noire spoke, the more she realised that despite her depravity she was still completely inexperienced.

"Yes, please Mistress. Please teach your masochistic slave!" Darkness said with a whimper as Noire toyed with her body.

"Oh? So you want to be my slave, then?" Noire asked slyly, and if she wasn't mad with pleasure she might have thought more about her answer.

"Yes, Mistress!" Darkness answered immediately, her mind focused on the pain and pleasure Noire could bring.

"Good girl, I hope you realise that next time it won't just be about your pleasure," Noire warned, making Darkness pause as she glanced down at Noire's thong-clad pussy.

"D-do you want me to return the favour now, mistress? Please sit on my face, use me as your chair while I show you my gratitude!" Darkness said fervently, making Noire giggle again, the sweet tinkling sound making Darkness feel happy that she'd pleased her mistress.

"Oh my~ an interesting offer but not tonight. There'll be plenty of time for you to put that mouth to use," Noire promised. "But we are done for tonight. You can sleep here, it suits you better than a fancy bedroom anyway," Noire teased, moving away from the bed.

She hadn't realised how tired she was until Noire mentioned sleeping, but it was late and she'd had a long and arduous day.

"Yes, Mistress," Darkness said, already falling into the role of an obedient slave.

As Noire left, Darkness briefly remembered that she was supposed to be testing Noire, but as she laid there in a puddle of her own arousal, she simply drifted off, dreaming of future sessions under Noire's loving but firm hand.

— Noire —

I've seen submissives before, such as the servants that worked in my mothers castle. When I deigned to take someone into my bed, they'd always tend to be completely submissive, whether they were a ditsy maid, burly guard, a noble knight or even a dignified noble.

They knew the power balance between us, even if the guards and knights could have overpowered me, so I'm used to having people submit to my whims.

Sex is rather common in Locthwain, especially amongst the nobles, indulging in hedonism is practically a national pastime.

But even when my partners were submitting to me, none of them fell into the role as quickly and effortlessly as Darkness. She might just be the biggest masochistic slut I've ever seen, and I plan to take full advantage of it (and her).

She's not the first repressed noble I've had in my bed.

Heading through the castle, I reach my destination and smile as I find my final target for the night.

Megumin wants explosions, Darkness wants someone to treat her how she needs to be treated, and Kazuma wants me.

So, what does the goddess currently drunkenly drooling on the table want?

"Wha?" Aqua mumbles, looking up at me before she blushes, looking at the several empty wine bottles around her. "Um, I can-"

I wave off her hasty explanation, saying "like I said, help yourself. I hope the quality matches your refined tastes." After a moment, Aqua looks embarrassed but perks up, finally remembering that I already gave her permission.

"Of course! I'm very picky about my booze, but this place has some really good stuff!" Aqua says, and I can already tell that's bullshit.

Kazuma has complained about Aqua's drinking problem before, and with how broke they always are, she's probably been drinking cheap wine.

"That's good to hear," I say, grabbing another bottle and two glasses as I move back, pouring us both a glass. "Forgive me if I'm mistaken, but you seem troubled, is there something bothering you?" I ask, making Aqua perk up as she grabs the glass.

"Nobody believes me," Aqua says after downing half her glass in a single gulp, immediately starting to whine now that she's got a willing listener. "I'm a Goddess, but people think I'm just some delusional cleric, and even Kazuma, who knows I'm a Goddess, doesn't respect me! They should be honoured to be in the presence of a divine beauty like me! It's not fair!"

"Hm, I can certainly see why you'd find that frustrating," I said supportively. "Not getting the respect you deserve can be disappointing."

Aqua wants respect, despite being rather… intellectually challenged. I might be able to use this.

"At least you show me the respect I deserve," Aqua says, making me smile.

I don't particularly respect her but I know better than to disrespect a god, even one like Aqua.

"Of course, Lady Aqua, it's the least I can do," I say, making her beam at me. "If I may, I have an idea of how we can get you more respect." I say, seeing her immediately turn her attention towards me, even as I refill her glass. "To put it simply, I don't think the mortals of this world are ready to accept that a Goddess walks amongst them."

"Why not? They should be overjoyed!" Aqua whines like a child, making me smile.

"They're just simple mortals, the Gods are something abstract to them, even to the priests. You need to… gently ease them into it, so I have a plan. Instead of telling them that you are a Goddess, why don't you try telling people that you are the Chosen of Aqua, named after your Goddess?" I suggest, making her pout.

"But I am Aqua, why can't they just accept it and be grateful!" Aqua whines, making me forcibly stop myself from rolling my eyes.

"I know, my Lady, but the mortals are just too simple to understand and accept that. They'll accept a Chosen One far better. People love heroes, and as we achieve bigger and grander feats, they'll adore you," I whisper, making her pause. "And they'll praise Aqua for 'sending' you to them, you'll be spreading your religion to the masses and get the praise and adoration you deserve."

"But Kazuma is the one I actually sent!" Aqua says after a pause.

"True, but answer me this. Does Kazuma feel like a hero to you?" I ask, making her pause in thought before she snorts. "Exactly, public relations is everything. They'll accept a beautiful, talented and powerful hero like you far easier."

"I would make a better hero, wouldn't I?" Aqua says after a long pause, making me smile. "You really think it would work?"

"Of course, despite the… irregularities, we have a talented party here. We'll need a great victory to build our reputation but that should be easy enough. The Chosen One, Aqua and her party of powerful and talented heroes. I think it has a nice ring to it," I encourage, seeing I've got her hooked as her eyes widen, clearly dreaming of having people adore her.

"Well, as the best Goddess, I should take out the Demon King, all the mortals I sent after him failed after all. When we defeat the Demon King, I'll reveal that I was the real Aqua all along, and the mortals will all be wowed and dedicate their lives to worshiping me!" Aqua says, getting more and more excited as she speaks. "Yeah, I'll make the best heroine, and all the mortals will tell stories of me, and sing songs about me, and I won't have to pay for anything because they'll be so honoured to have the chosen one visiting them!"

"Of course they will, we just have to build your reputation first, so you'll have to stop claiming you're a Goddess until we've prepared everyone to accept the truth," I say cautiously, but she doesn't complain, too enamoured with the idea of being a beloved hero.

"Well, being the kind and generous Goddess I am, I suppose I can play pretend so I don't overwhelm their poor mortal minds," Aqua says graciously, beaming as she downs her glass.

As I continue to ply her with strong alcohol, I fill her head with dreams of heroism and all the glory and adoration that will follow it.

Aqua is powerful. I'm very sensitive to magic and sitting next to her it's unmistakable how much power she has in her body. Is she smart enough to be a hero? Probably not, but I'm smart enough for all five of us, so it doesn't matter.

I can utilise the four of them to their greatest effect and turn this band of misfits into a true party of legends.

Honestly I'm doing this as an experiment in leadership, as a Queen should know how best to use her assets after all, it'll be good training for the future.

Unfortunately, while she might be powerful, that doesn't seem to help her with holding her drink, or perhaps it does considering just how much wine she's imbibed.

Rolling my eyes as she collapses on the table, I awkwardly pick her up and carry her on my back as I take her to her room, trying to ignore how she is drooling on my back.

As I undress her so she doesn't make more of a mess out of her nice dress, I discover what I already suspected.

Why does she not wear any underwear?

Still, as irresponsible and daft as she might be… she's undeniably beautiful, a truly divine body as I look over her sleeping form.

Well, she didn't wake up when I dropped her on my way here (it's hardly my fault, she's surprisingly heavy and I'm not made for manual labour), so giving into temptation I reach forwards and gently grope her perky breast, hearing a sweet moan leave her mouth before she settles.

I could definitely seduce her, she just wants to be adored and while I rarely play the submissive, I'm not unfamiliar with the position. A few drinks into her and she'd happily let me worship her body.

Sliding a finger into her incredibly tight quim, I smile as she moans, growing wet as I piston my finger into her, pulling back and licking the arousal from it.

She tastes delicious, of course. I can almost taste the magic in her body, but I'll leave it as just a taste, a teaser of things to come.

"Sweet dreams, Aqua," I whisper, smiling as I leave the room and head towards my bedroom, pausing as I make a detour.

— Lalatina 'Darkness' Dustiness Ford —

Waking up, she stretched out with a satisfied smile, feeling more relaxed than she could ever remember feeling before.

Last night had been… intense, and apparently that was Noire starting small for her sake. Her dreams had been filled with what she could only hope would be included in the later session…

Her only minor complaint was that Noire was too polite, maybe she could convince her… mistress to be more degrading in the future?

Spotting the note propped up on the bedside table, Noire's incredibly neat and elegant handwriting.

'When you wake up, come to my bedroom. Don't bother looking for your clothes or armour, I have them. Your Mistress, Noire.'

Blushing, she considered that she might have been talking too soon as she got out of the bed, heading for the door as naked as the day she was born, strutting through the castle utterly nude.

Whether by chance or by Noire's design, as she turned the corner towards the royal bedroom, she froze as she spotted Kazuma, who had also frozen in shock as his eyes hungrily stared at her body.

"D-darkness?" Kazuma yelped, unable to hide his growing erection as he stared at her tits, not even trying to make eye contact.

"G-good morning, Kazuma," Darkness said, shuddering as Kazuma ogled her naked body.

"Why are you-" Kazuma started, staring at her in undisguised lust.

"Because I told her not to get dressed," Noire said, making them both jump as they turned to the bottom of the staircase that went up to her bedroom. "I take it you have no complaints?"

Her voice was openly challenging as Kazuma quickly shook her head.

"Of course not, I was just surprised that she- I mean-" Kazuma stuttered, making Noire smirk.

"As I said before, you're clearly inexperienced at dealing with women, consider this some special training to help you grow used to the female body," Noire said as she approached them, only wearing a flimsy white nightie that was almost see through and matching lacy panties. "You don't mind, do you Darkness?"

"No, look all you want," Darkness said quickly, bright red as Kazuma's gaze moved from her to Noire and back again, unable to decide where to look.

Noire's breasts were much smaller than hers, but they were perfectly formed and incredibly perky.

"Good girl, now as much as I'm sure you'd like the show to continue, I have some business to discuss with Darkness. Why don't you run along," Noire said sweetly, watching as Kazuma gulped. "Darkness, come with me."

Turning and walking back up the stairs, her hips swaying as both Darkness and Kazuma watched her walk away, they shared a look before she quickly moved to follow Noire, knowing Kazuma was watching her ass as she moved up the stairs.

Could he see the arousal leaking down her thighs from being ogled so crudely? Did he know that he could have groped her and she wouldn't have put up a fight?

How would such a crude and scummy man become when Noire was finished training him to not be such a virgin?

"You wanted to see me, mistress?" Darkness asked as she entered the room, seeing Noire sitting on the edge of the bed.

Was it time to pay her mistress back? Would Noire part her legs and tell her to kneel?

"You called yourself my slave last night, and I realise that pleasure can cloud your mind so I wish to ask you how serious you were," Noire started, making her blush and fidget. "We have two choices, Darkness. Either we can keep our sessions a secret in public, though our party is bound to find out, or… you can publicly submit to me, and let everyone know that you are my pet."

"C-can I back out if it gets too much?" Darkness asked, making Noire nod.

"Of course, consent is important in a relationship like this. If you ever feel that I'm going too far, you need only say so," Noire agreed, making Darkness take a deep breath.

"Then I want to be your slave, Mistress, I want you to own me," Darkness admitted, making Noire smile.

"I thought you'd say so, you poor little thing, you've gone so long without a firm hand guiding you," Noire whispered as she grabbed something from behind her, standing up and revealing the elegant collar in her hand.

Tossing it to the ground in front of her, Noire gave her a smirk.

"Put it on, I want you to be the one to collar yourself," Noire said, watching as she picked up the fine leather collar, a small silver pendant on the front with the words 'Property of Noire' carved into it.

Lifting it up, she carefully placed it around her neck, blushing bright red as she marked herself as Noire's property.

What would her father think?

"You are not allowed to remove that without my permission, I want everyone to know that you are my property," Noire said coldly, making her nod as a shudder of arousal ran through her.

Moving to the side of the room, Noire smirked as she pulled out some thick looking ropes.

"Now, the second reason I wanted you here~" Noire said, the ropes unraveling with a slight glow as Noire magically guided them towards her.

She didn't put up a fight as the ropes expertly wrapped around her body, not truly binding her but instead wrapping around her as they framed her breasts and one went between her legs, rubbing against her already dripping slit.

"You are no longer permitted to wear underwear unless I say otherwise, instead you're going to wear these ropes," Noire said simply, sitting back down.

As the ropes finally finished wrapping around her, she shuffled in place, biting down a moan as the coarse rope rubbed against her body.

"Walk around the room," Noire ordered, watching as Darkness immediately saw the point of the ropes, every step sending a shiver of pleasure through her as the ropes rubbed against her most sensitive spots. "Good girl, now… put on the dress I picked out for you."

As she picked up the dress, she blushed and pulled it over her head.

The light white summer dress barely reached her upper thighs, and her hardened nipples were clearly on display. Oh gods, everyone would be able to see if she let her arousal get out of control. Her legs were on display, and the dress was rather tight…

"You normally wear such concealing clothing, I want you to show your body off," Noire ordered, making her blush and nod. "For today, I have a simple test for you. I want you to tease Kazuma, find reasons to bend over around him, maybe even flash him if no-one else is looking. Don't touch him or let him touch you, not yet anyway," Noire ordered, making her freeze.

"W-why?"

"Well, Kazuma needs to learn to not be so shocked by the female form, and also I know you enjoy having people lustfully stare at you. It's… just practice before we move onto more extreme forms of exhibitionism," Noire said simply, making her turn a brighter red at the casual remark.

M-more extreme?

"After all, I think even you'd panic if we started with me taking you on a walk through the city streets, in nothing but your collar," Noire teased, making her gulp. "If you handle this well, I'll know you're ready for the fun stuff."

She didn't know whether to feel sorry for Kazuma or not, he wouldn't mind seeing her lewd body more, would he?

"Yes, mistress!"

— Kazuma Satou —

Darkness was going to kill him and it was definitely Noire's fault.

It seemed like she was constantly following him, and sometimes she was subtle about what she was doing as she happened to pick something up, causing her dress to ride up and expose her ass and pussy, barely covered by the ropes she was wearing.

Other times she pulled her dress down and shook her breasts at him, making her fat tits jiggle before she quickly covered herself up.

Heading towards one of the balconies in the fancy castle, he paused as he spotted the mastermind of his suffering, standing against the railing as she spoke to a small raven that was perched on her arm.

A dozen other ravens were perched on the railing, listening to her every word before they took off, flying in different directions aside from the one on her arm.

"Ah, hello Kazuma," Noire said calmly, stroking the unusually large bird as he approached. That was her familiar, right? "Nàtt, why don't you go take a fly. I'll give you more treats later," Noire said with a giggle, making the bird caw, butting its head against her before it took off. "Is there something I can do for you?"

Noire was basically a Disney princess, wasn't she? An R-18 Disney princess at that.

"I was just wondering what you were doing," Kazuma said, unwilling to call her out on setting Darkness on him.

"I was just trying out a new spell, to speak with animals, and having the ravens explore this little domain for me. I'm sure it's safe but I'd like to know what's around my castle," Noire explained.

Oh yeah, she was definitely a Disney princess.

"But I was about to start my swordsmanship practice, would you like to join me? It's always better to practice against a human opponent than an unresponsive dummy and my usual partners are quite literally a world away," Noire said, making him pause.

She was going to kick his ass, wasn't she?

"I'd love to," Kazuma said awkwardly, his hesitation obvious as Noire giggled.

"Don't worry, I'm not that good. Still, I'll go easy on you~"

— Later —

As the blunt side of her practice sword struck him in the side again, she giggled.

"That's another point for me," Noire said with a giggle. "I believe that's seven points to me, and zero to you."

Not that good, his ass. She felt damn near impossible to hit, dancing out of the way of his swings.

They'd moved to a sparring room in the basement, and his worry was proven immediately correct. It turned out she'd been practising with the sword for years, apparently it was an elf thing.

He was sure she wasn't that good compared to the knights and heroes from her world, but she was still kicking his ass without breaking a sweat.

"Ugh, I give up. I can't beat you," Kazuma said, frowning as he dropped the sword. He wasn't a prideful guy, but getting his ass handed to him like this was just a kick to the balls.

"Don't be like that, you'll never get better if you give up so quickly," Noire said with a frown. "But I can see why you'd be feeling so discouraged. Hm, how about I add an incentive for you?"

Despite his best efforts, he couldn't stop himself from perking up at her sultry words.

"Any time you hit me, I'll take a piece of clothing off, that should make this more interesting for you, shouldn't it?" Noire asked, idly twirling her sword around in her grasp.

"…what happens when you run out of clothes?" Kazuma asked, picking his sword back up as she grinned.

"Well, I'm sure we can think of something," Noire said, moving back into her stance.

In the next bout, she still beat him. In the one after that, she beat him again.

In the one after that, he landed his first blow as he barely struck her, a glancing blow striking her side as she moved out of the way just a split second too slow.

He was so caught up in his tiny victory that he was almost surprised when she casually undid her white shirt, tossing it aside leaving her upper body in just a black lacy bra.

"Well done, Kazuma! I told you it wasn't pointless," Noire praised, dropping back into her stance.

…with her bra-clad breasts on display, she proceeded to kick his ass for four more rounds until he managed to strike her again, by cheating.

Going for an over-head swing, she went to dodge before he simply kicked her in the stomach, the sudden move catching her by surprise as she let out a grunt of pain, pausing in place for long enough for his blade to strike her shoulder.

They were blunt wooden blades, but they were also quite heavy and it obviously hurt as he smashed it into her shoulder.

She hadn't been hitting him hard, even if he already had several welts all over his body, but before he could apologise she giggled.

"Ah, there it is. I was wondering why you were fighting fair, when the others called you 'Kazutrash', a beast who wouldn't hesitate to drop-kick a woman," Noire teased, making him blush.

What the hell were those idiots telling her?

"You're not angry?" Kazuma asked, making her smile.

"Of course not, just because I'm taught to fight with 'elegance' and 'honour' doesn't mean you have to. It's actually good practice for me to fight against someone who is willing to fight dirty, but first~" Noire said, undoing her leather trousers and teasingly pushing them down, revealing her long slender legs. "I'll be nice and not count my shoes and socks, so there's just two pieces to go~"

Clad in her lacy underwear, she rubbed her shoulder briefly before taking her stance again.

This wasn't really fair, because he could lose as many times as he needed to without any consequences beyond getting hurt, but every victory he got placed him a step closer to his reward.

Which is why he didn't mind when Noire proceeded to decimate him in the next six fights no matter how dirty he tried to fight, smirking as she danced around him but it became clear Noire didn't have the best stamina as she got slower over the rounds.

After another three losses, he actually hit her fair and square, right on her breast as she yelped in pain, before giggling.

As her bra hit the ground, his already hard cock throbbed in appreciation, watching her perky breast bounce as she moved.

"Do you know that perseverance is the virtue my kingdom values the most? Watching you get back up no matter how many times you get knocked down has been rather… arousing," Noire admitted, making his eyes widen. "I hope you can earn your reward."

Too busy imagining what that reward could be, he didn't see the incoming danger until her blade whacked him in the head.

"…I said it was arousing, I didn't say you should let me hit you. I have Darkness for that," Noire said bluntly.

— Later —

Nothing was working, because while she was getting tired, Noire seemed to take pride in keeping the prize just out of his hands, seemingly trying harder as she danced around him with Elven grace.

In desperation, he tossed his sword at her, making her eyes widen as she ducked under it, and in the moment she was distracted he leapt forwards, tackling her to the ground as he pinning her to the ground staring down at her.

"Well, that's not exactly a hit but I suppose it counts," Noire said with a chuckle as he loomed over her, holding her hand above her head. "Are you going to get off me?"

"…do I have to?" Kazuma asked, making her giggle. He kinda liked having her pinned under him, her breasts heaving.

"If you want me to take my panties off, yes," Noire pointed out, making her pause before he sighed and stood back up, watching as she rose and hooked her fingers into her panties, slowly sliding them down her long, pale legs.

Standing up and posing for him, he couldn't take his eyes off her pink slit, slightly glistening with arousal.

"One more hit~" Noire said in a singsong voice, sending a shiver through his body. "I hope you don't mind if I make it hard for you… well, harder than I already have," she corrected with a giggle.

Grabbing his sword again, he narrowed his eyes in determination (and arousal).

"I don't mind, it'll just make my reward more-" he started, immediately lunging forwards and swung his sword, her eyes widening as his blade struck her arm. "Satisfying."

"You- well played, Kazuma. Well played indeed," Noire said, a brief hint of anger passing her face before she relaxed and smiled. "I suppose you won our little game then."

"I did," Kazuma said proudly, making her smile.

"Hm, come with me," Noire ordered, tossing her blade aside as she walked away, her pert ass swaying as she quickly followed her all the way up to her bedroom.

As they got inside, she closed and locked the door behind them.

"Strip."

He needed no further details, his clothes practically flying off as he quickly stripped as she watched, his cock standing proud as she guided him to sit on the edge of the bed.

"Be a good boy and stay quiet for me, okay?" Noire asked as she slowly dropped to her knees, his eyes widening as her slender fingers wrapped around his girth, gently stroking his throbbing cock.

Her touch felt so much better than his, her slow gentle strokes sending waves of pleasure through his body, but as he leaned back in pleasure he didn't see her moving forwards.

He certainly noticed when something warm and wet engulfed his cock, his eyes widening as he groaned in pleasure, staring down into her violet eyes as she stared right back, slowly taking inch after inch of his cock into her mouth.

Her mouth was like a furnace, the soft heat unlike anything he'd ever felt before (even when he'd got his hands on an onahole in his past life), and the way she sucked her cheeks in, her lips vacuum-sealed around his length, made him clutch the bedsheets with a groan as she tried to suck the life out of him, her tongue lapping and writhing against the underside of his cock.

Bobbing her head, she never broke eye-contact as she pleasured him, servicing him in ways he'd only ever dreamed of, and he immediately felt his climax rushing towards him.

Oh no, not already… she'd barely been down there for a minute and he could already feel his orgasm rapidly approaching, Noire calmly bobbing her head as she fondled his balls, gently caressing them as she easily took his entire length between her pouty lips, leaving stains as her red lipstick smeared on his dick.

Trying to delay things as long as possible, he thought about everything unattractive he could imagine, but it was for naught as he groaned loudly, thrusting his hips up to meet her as he started to cum, Noire's eyes widening as she felt his seed start to flood her mouth.

She didn't pull back, and to his shock the beautiful Elven princess calmly swallowed his seed, looking like something out of his hentai games as she pulled back, sticking her tongue out to show the cum still on her tongue before she closed her mouth and swallowed again.

"Hm, if you want me to do this again you're going to have to change your diet, that was far too salty to be tasty," Noire said as she wiped at her mouth, making him whimper.

"A-again?" Kazuma asked, embarrassed at how quickly he'd fired his shot.

"Oh, are you not interested in a repeat?" Noire asked, making his eyes widen.

"No! I definitely want a repeat," Kazuma said quickly, making her giggle.

"And don't look so embarrassed, I figured you'd last about that long. We can work on that later," Noire said encouragingly, making him blush. "I think there's actually spells for that, but if there isn't… Well, repeated exposure should help you last longer, and I'm sure you won't mind practicing more," Noire giggled, making him gulp again.

Never before had he been so interested in practising anything.

"Now, get dressed and run along. I do have other things to do today beyond entertain you," Noire said, making him rush to obey.

He didn't want to give her any reason to withhold future rewards.

— Noire —

With my party all looking to me for advice, it's time to start working towards my true goal.

Tomorrow, I'm taking them to the adventurers' guild, and we're taking a proper quest.

From what I've been told, Kazuma tries to stop them from taking anything that's actually dangerous, but unfortunately for him… danger means opportunity.

I'm sure he might put up a token argument, but I'm fairly certain I can wrap him around my finger. Kazuma won't be able to say no to me, not when he knows what being a good boy will bring him.

When word of a Princess from another world started to spread, he ignored it as just the overblown imagination of the peasants.

Then the Adventurer's Guild started to pay attention and rumours of her unique powers also reached him, as did a sketch of this 'Noire'.

Then he started to pay attention, because if half the rumours of what she could do, and how she did it were correct, he was very interested.

A beautiful Elven mage who could make anyone she bedded more powerful? Oh yes, he could definitely use that.

He had access to magic of course, through Maxwell, but this was a chance to gain powers for himself instead of using a demon.

But that said, this princess wasn't like the commoners and noblewomen he usually brought to his bed, and while he didn't know much about magic… if Noire could resist Maxwell's magic it could end with his death and she was apparently very powerful if the rumours were to be believed.

He couldn't just have his way with her and make Maxwell prevent any consequences, not until he was sure Maxwell was more powerful than her.

Still, he was the governor of Axel, and it only made sense that he'd invite a foreign royal to his home.

Especially given that word of her presence had already reached the royal family and they were asking him questions he didn't have the answer to.

Yes, he'd invite her over for a lavish meal and test the waters, maybe he wouldn't even need to use force.

And if he would need to, he could have Maxwell test the waters to see if she was susceptible to his magic.

If nothing else, he could just pressure her to keep drinking until her inhibitions were lowered enough for him to take her into his bed.
