A saintess? She's just a bad woman.

"Your Majesty truly deserves to be called a hero of the empire. Even after slumbering for five hundred years, you were able to immediately grasp the current situation and save the country from peril. If you need any help, just say the word, and the Dreiser family will never hesitate like those bloated good-for-nothings."

“You’re thoughtful.”

The two men's glasses clinked together, making a crisp "clink" sound.

Santa Karina finished her drink and set the glass down, which landed precisely where it touched the waters off Santa Marta. She decided to leave the capital early the next morning and set off for her destination.

Although the Lorian Empire is still recovering, and the demons won't dare to attack again anytime soon, she still has some time to regain her lost power. The key to regaining power often lies hidden in the ruins of the deep sea, requiring in-depth exploration.

Five hundred years ago, at the same time that the great war that led to Saint Karina's demise occurred, a world-shaking event also took place in the waters of Saint Marta. The ancient underwater kingdom of Tico and the peninsula nation of Lenia, located on the edge of the continent, fought a great war that ended with the simultaneous destruction of both countries.

The war angered the god of the deep sea, who unleashed divine punishment, causing the land of Lenia to sink completely, and Tico, who started the war, was reduced to ruins overnight.

Some adventurers who wanted to explore the secrets of the lost underwater kingdom and salvage valuable artifacts to sell also never returned.

Saint Karina happened to know that the throne of Tico possessed a treasure that could provide her with a continuous source of power. It was the staff that the first Tico king held during his conquests, capable of commanding sea creatures and driving the tides into battle.

Once we get that thing, we can wipe out the Demon King's army in the near sea.

19. My first kiss is gone.

After the discussion with the Minister of Military Affairs ended, the young emperor once again used feeling unwell as an excuse to leave early.

The ministers and nobles were used to this, but they put on a feigned expression and pleaded with the young emperor to take care of his health.

Upon reaching the entrance of the Imperial Study, she finally stopped, saying helplessly to Saint Karina, "How long are you going to follow me?"

The expression on his face looked even more troubled than when he was in the main hall; he even couldn't help but pinch the space between his eyebrows.

"Your Majesty, you don't think I'm resolving the crisis for the Lorian Empire for free, do you?"

"Then what do you want?"

Brenda took a deep breath and tried to remain calm as she continued to ask.

The Saint Karina before me was indeed much more impeccably dressed than the first time I saw her, and those clothes were even provided by her.

"First of all... I haven't eaten breakfast or lunch, don't you think you should get me something to eat?"

"This is all we have. An, go and get some food for Her Majesty the Holy Maiden."

The maid nodded immediately and headed straight for the imperial kitchen.

She planned to bring some fine food, which the chefs had already prepared there, such as Black Forest mousse, apple pie, jam pudding, strawberry ice cream, and the main courses of roast steak and stir-fried pasta.

The juice is delicious mango juice, made from the freshest fruit.

"Alright... Now that the troublesome person has left, I'll ask for my real reward."

Saint Karina thoughtfully locked the door behind Anne as she left, to prevent Anne from seeing anything she shouldn't and incurring the young emperor's wrath, which could cost her her job.

Her long, snow-white hair, paired with her saintly robes, made her appear even more holy in the daytime. However, Saint Karina's words and actions were completely unrelated to holiness.

"What do you want? I'm warning you, this is my palace!"

As Saint Karina drew closer, Brenda couldn't help but retreat step by step.

She maintained a two-body distance from Saint Karina until she had nowhere left to retreat and crashed into the cold, hard wall behind her. Finally, her anger, which had just subsided, flared up again, and she couldn't help but raise her voice.

"Don't be so nervous, Your Majesty... at least today, I won't eat you~"

Saint Karina's flippant tone shut Brenda up before she could launch into a long-winded explanation.

Her gaze was aggressive, like a carnivorous woman sweeping her gaze down over Brenda's body.

"The previous contract stipulated that I would resolve the matter of the demon army for you, and you would entrust me with the most precious purity of a young girl. Now that both conditions have been met, the contract is over. So, if you want me to go to the Saint Martha Sea to investigate the reason, you will need to pay me a new reward, right?"

In the main hall, the young emperor casually made a promise to the Minister of Military Affairs and asked Saint Karina to carry it out.

She didn't refute it at the time, but was actually thinking about how to tease the little emperor later.

“Alright… Please forgive my abruptness. Indeed, since I need Your Excellency to help again, I should pay you. So, whether it is money or land, I will pay on time.”

"Heh... Why would I need your money and land? Those material possessions can be taken from parasites."

Saint Karina chuckled, as if she had heard something very funny.

"Take off your clothes, and I'll tell you what I want."

"you!!"

The light, airy words immediately reminded the young emperor of the fear he felt when he was dominated by Saint Karina in the underground sanctuary.

She was very nervous, ashamed, and angry at the same time, and her face turned red.

"Your Holiness! Don't push your luck!"

The little emperor's private parts are still sore and swollen, and his walking posture is a little strange.

Fortunately, her title as Empress of the Lorian Empire was merely nominal, and no one cared about that.

Her knuckles turned white as she gripped the collar of her clothes, and she began to suspect that Saint Karina was deliberately trying to humiliate her.

"Oh~ You can't do it?"

Saint Karina watched with great interest as the young emperor struggled internally. She knew that Brenda would eventually waver. She was a "good" emperor who valued the Lorian Empire more than herself, and as long as she needed the saintess's help, she would eventually choose to compromise.

What if I don't agree to your request?

"Then I will pretend I never heard of what you promised Minister of War, Bridges. As for the Saint Marta Sea, I will not go there either."

"I see……"

The young emperor had resigned herself to her fate. Her eyes were closed, her body swaying precariously, and two streams of shameful tears rolled down her cheeks.

She was merely a puppet emperor chosen by ministers and nobles, a figurehead. If she wanted to protect her country, she had to rely on this unrecognizable Holy Maiden of the Nation.

Perhaps... Saint Karina wasn't a good person after all. But if this country lost her, Brenda was absolutely certain that the Lorian Empire would disappear from the map and become a lesson in other countries' history textbooks.

"If you're willing to go, I'll agree to anything you want me to do..."

"You said it yourself, Your Majesty."

Saint Karina's lips curved into a radiant smile, a smile that was beautiful, but Brenda had no interest in appreciating it.

"Please... don't force me to do it myself."

Her voice was so soft, like a mosquito's buzz.

There was no way around it; in Brenda's mind, she was no different from standing naked in front of Saint Karina at this moment.

The Emperor's New Clothes cannot be a tool to conceal one's true intentions; on the contrary, it only fuels the malice of those with ill intentions.

"boom!"

It was the sound of Saint Karina dragging Brenda to the desk where she usually worked, and then forcefully slamming her down onto the surface.

The two made a lot of noise and started kissing in the quiet environment.

"Woooo..."

Brenda seemed somewhat resistant when her chin was grabbed and she was kissed directly; she had misjudged the situation.

It's important to understand that during that time in the underground sanctuary, Saint Karina simply wanted to get things done quickly and didn't want to waste any time leading up to the main event. The two had sexual intercourse, but there was no foreplay whatsoever.

Brenda still feels terrible there, and the experience wasn't entirely enjoyable; Santa Karina was just too impatient.

This was the first time the little emperor had kissed like lovers, meaning it was his first kiss, but for Saint Karina, it was just her first kiss of the day.

"open."

Finally, Brenda, who had almost fainted, got a chance to catch her breath. She turned her head and broke free from Saint Karina's long fingers that were gripping her chin.

She glared at Saint Karina, seemingly in silent protest that this did not conform to the agreed-upon terms.

As for the taste of the first kiss, it was certainly very good. Brenda had to admit that this bad woman's kissing skills were quite good.

20. Falling into the trap for the second time

Next, Saint Karina kindly helped Brenda remove the emperor's robes.

The clothes had already come undone during the tug-of-war. Saint Karina pulled them almost gently, and as the belt came off, the collar of the robe loosened to both sides, revealing her fair and alluring shoulders.

Not to mention the cleavage beneath the robes, Saint Karina would immediately think of two round strawberry cakes with two red cherries on each.

Her kiss landed on Brenda's neck. She knew that with just a little more effort, the little emperor would take off his robes and put on the Emperor's New Clothes.

"Your Majesty...you seem very afraid that I might do something to you?"

"Saint Karina teased. Because Brenda, beneath her fingertips, was trembling pitifully at every intimate gesture from Saint Karina, her muscles tense.

Brenda was especially afraid of Saint Karina's kisses; every time she received one, she would instinctively swallow hard.

The feeling of being constantly pressured was unpleasant; it was driving her crazy, yet she could only endure it each time.

"I do not have……"

As the ruler of the country, his words and body reacted differently, and he remained very stubborn.

She had her pride, and she couldn't possibly agree with Saint Karina's teasing.

However, the other party seemed to see that she was like a paper tiger, only her mouth could still barely bar her teeth and claws, but her body was already vulnerable and would submit to her under the attack of a bad woman.

So Saint Karina seemed in no hurry at all, dawdling along, making Brenda's heart race, like she was performing acrobatics on a tightrope.

Finally, just before her heartstrings were about to snap, the torment ended, and Saint Karina, straightening her back once more, spoke:

"Your Majesty, please turn your back."

Like a prisoner released on orders, Brenda immediately turned away, not giving Saint Karina any chance to punish her for disobedience.

"Ha ha……"

Amidst laughter, her robes blossomed like a bright yellow cornflower. The loose robes were completely removed, spreading out over a large area on the floor of the imperial study.

Her fair back, without a single scar, was on full display. Her long, golden hair was not tied up or braided, but allowed to flow freely, reaching all the way to her waist.

This woman was none other than the emperor of the Lorian Empire, yet now she was the prisoner of the saintess.

"Tick-tock, tick-tock."

Saint Karina's admiring gaze was broken by a discordant sound—the sound of blood dripping onto the floor.

Drip, drip, was the sound of Brenda biting her lip until it bled. Her mind was overwhelmed, and she forgot the force with which she was biting her lip to endure the pain.

"release!"

Saint Karina's voice turned at least ten degrees colder, and her hand reached behind Brenda to touch her teeth.

"Your Majesty, do you regret it? What is our contract? You agreed to meet my request this time, to stay in this imperial study, and then I would go on a long trip for you."

"I don't care whether you like me or not, because I personally have absolutely no feelings for love. Just remember, in this imperial study, right now, you are my toy. No one but me can hurt you, not even yourself."

Saint Karina's words were firm. She allowed the woman before her to say one thing but mean another, but she believed that toys should obey commands, not degrade themselves by harming their bodies.

"I see……"

Brenda smiled bitterly and loosened her grip on her lower lip. She understood; Saint Karina didn't even want to leave her with her last shred of dignity.

If she maintains the victim's facade, she can comfort herself by believing that she is only temporarily enduring, and that Saint Karina is trying to force her to admit that things have come to this point not because of the saintess's coercion, but because it was consensual.

Brenda felt extremely wronged; her nose tingled, and her well-developed tear ducts almost caused her to shed a few large tears.

"Actually, you don't need to feel so wronged. I didn't plan to do much this time. You must have hurt yourself yesterday. I just wanted to apply some medicine to it."

A slight, indescribable stinging sensation was felt, the feeling of Saint Karina's healing magic flowing in.

At first it was pain, but later the wound healed under the stimulation of magic, and the pain turned into itching, and then into emptiness.

Her body craved to be filled by Saint Karina, yearning for the saint's grace.

"It seems Your Majesty is quite satisfied with my treatment. How was it, Your Majesty? How was my skill?"

The women who had used Saint Karina all said it felt comfortable, and she spoke with great pride.

Brenda, who was enjoying the saint's healing treatment like a cat basking in the sun after a good meal, was suddenly awakened.

She was pulled back to reality by Saint Karina, and recalling the series of physical reactions she had just experienced, she was both shocked and angry.

"you!"

Brenda was furious that she was being served by Saint Karina, but she was pinned down by her and couldn't get away from her.

"Relax, I haven't done anything yet. It's just treatment, isn't it? I imagine Your Majesty's discomfort must be an extremely painful experience."
