How To Subdue a Masochist Princess

After properly taking care of the mutant ogre that got food poisoning.

—Kururuk, gururuk!

"Everyone, calmly surround the guy and keep him in check! I'll cut off his head!"

"If you cut off his arm, it'll grow back in an instant, but if you blow off his head, it'll be the same?"

"No! According to the Great Monster Tactics Collection, trolls are…"

—Kwakjik!

"Huh…?"

Roughly similar to the feeling of going around the training ground, running along the castle walls as if circling the Bartok Viscounty and taking out the big monsters.

"You've worked hard. The northern front looks tough, so go and help me out."

"Yes, Commander!"

As I encouraged my subordinates who were fighting a little clumsily but doing their best, the flow of the battle gradually shifted to my side.

"The enemy's forces are never infinite! Look! Hasn't the offensive clearly slowed down? From now on, we'll change our goal from maintaining the front line to annihilation! Drive the monsters out of the land of the people!"

"Waaaaaaah!!!"

At this point, he thought it was okay, so he shouted an order to his subordinates, and repeated the same process a few times.

"This is the commander's order. All 300 units, charge!"

"It's okay if about ten ogres come! Go forward and fight! We have the commander!"

The waves of monsters that had been rushing in like crazy were clearly subsiding.

As expected, it seemed that running around and dealing with the large monsters that could tie up several knights had been effective.

—Keeek, keeeek!

—Keeeeing, keeeeing…

Let's go around smelling a lot of blood on purpose, and now the monsters will scream and run away if I even approach them.

In fact, it should have been like that from the beginning.

The monsters were clearly acting crazy, disregarding their strong survival instincts, and their appearance earlier was clearly abnormal.

In the first place, wasn't it wrong that different types of monsters were moving together like an army with the purpose of completely destroying a territory?

As I continued to wander through the battlefield with such doubts,

a scene filled with large and small ice shards and the corpses of frozen monsters appeared before my eyes.

"It's really cool here."

Was it the work of the vice-captain?

As expected, he was a possessor of the manifestation system that was optimized for such large-scale battles.

Regardless of the skill level of the manifestation, he was no different from a god of death to enemies below his level.

"What the...?"

But, I started to feel a very unpleasant atmosphere nearby.

A sticky, sticky atmosphere that seemed to embody a collection of negative emotions such as madness, malice, and desire.

I quickly ran towards the place where that disgusting, dark atmosphere was particularly strong, and saw the vice-captain being harassed by some low-faced piece of trash.

It was a dangerous situation where even his sword was cut in half and he seemed like he would be subdued at any moment.

"Don't be a jerk and just be quiet..."

—Crack!

Without any hesitation, I immediately burst the bastard's head open just like I did to the mutant ogre.

"Trash... How dare you put your dirty hands on anyone."

After doing something, I thought it would have been better to subdue the bastard and extract information.

He deserved to die for being a piece of trash and daring to touch my precious subordinate.

The bastard's status was a bit of a problem, but I wasn't afraid of the consequences.

Rather, wouldn't the Medici family be grateful to me for taking care of a bastard who was no different from the family's filth?

That's when I was thinking that.

—Crap!

I must have used too much force while punching, because my armor, which had been worn down for so long and had been through so much fierce combat, cracked and ran out of life.

It was an item I had grown attached to after wearing it for so long, but it was still a consumable.

I took off my armor, which had lost its meaning, and threw it on the ground.

Then I approached the fallen vice-captain to help her.

"Vice-captain! Are you okay? Oh, you're completely exhausted."

"All right, captain! Back!"

—Clumsy, mushy…

The bastard was literally getting his head blown off, but he was trying to get up from his seat, engulfed in a dark aura.

Then, all I had to do was crush him until he couldn't get up anymore.

"Gwak, Gwaaak…!"

—Crack!

"It's okay. You can rest easy now. You're really amazing for taking care of this many monsters by yourself, Vice-Chief."

"Ahh…"

I lifted the Vice-Chief's body up and supported her with one arm, then focused on the garbage disposal process.

I thought I should at least cover my eyes from the sight that might be a little disgusting.

The Vice-Chief was a knight before she was a woman.

If she had been the princess, I don't think it would have been necessary to make such a fuss.

—Crack, crack!

I kneaded the flesh and bones of the thing a few times, using the ground as a chopping board, and the thing looked more like a piece of meat thinly sliced with a hammer than a person.

"Uh, uhhhh…"

But even at that point, judging by the fact that he continued to regenerate with the help of the dark energy, it seemed that he had already fallen from being human to something else.

However, it didn't matter. In the first place, it wasn't even strong enough to overcome my imagination.

The Master said that if it was an enemy with abnormally strong regenerative power, you should just shuffle its body around and compress it.

If you do that, the regenerative power will become poison and it will soon die of exhaustion.

—Kwak!

As I clenched my fists and expressed my will to crush it from all sides, the bastard's limbs eventually broke off on their own and dug into my body.

—Dudududu…!

Then, the dark energy coming from the bead-like thing it was holding became even stronger, and my hands began to tremble slightly due to the strong resistance.

"Kwak…! You…! How on earth did you have this kind of power… This, this is against common sense…!"

"A person who has already abandoned humanity is now talking about common sense? Since you can still talk even after being in that state, I don't think there's any need to ask you more. I should call the Inquisitor."

I put in a little more force, covered the dark energy with my energy, and rolled up the guy's body like a maggot.

—Crack!

With a cracking sound, the bead the guy was holding cracked, and the dark energy stopped coming out.

At the same time, the resistance I felt in my grip disappeared in an instant, and the guy's body exploded.

I immediately turned around and hugged the vice-captain, doing my best to prevent her from getting hit by the debris.

"Ugh…!" "Oh, I'm sorry. Are you okay?"

However, I couldn't help but get a little dirty, so I took off my gloves and carefully wiped away the foreign substances on her cheeks and hair.

"Ah, haaah…"

But then, the vice-captain's face suddenly turned bright red and she completely lost the strength she had been holding onto.

It wasn't a good sign. It seemed like her condition was more serious than I thought.

"Oh no! You've even had a mana overload. Excuse me for a moment."

"Haa, haa…"

—Wow!

I ripped off the vice-captain's chest plate and then ripped off the underarmor inside.

Then, her pure white skin and the bandages wrapped around her bulging chest were revealed.

For a moment, I thought I should rip that off, but no matter what, it didn't seem right.

It would be okay to put it on her abdomen instead of her heart. I just have to be a little more careful.

"Vice-captain, are you still awake? I will now infuse my mana into you and stabilize the flow of your wild mana."

At my words, the vice-captain nodded with difficulty, her face flushed red. Fortunately, she still seemed to be awake.

When I placed my palm near the mana core located around the vice-captain's lower abdomen, her body shook violently for a moment.

It was natural, since it was one of the most critical points for a knight.

"Trust me and accept it. I will now infuse you with it."

"Haa, haa, haa..."

It was better to do it slowly, but the vice-captain's face was gradually turning bright red.

That's why I immediately poured a lot of concentrated mana into her body.

"Huh!"

"Not yet, not yet. Slowly, take it all in."

The vice-captain's mana core, which had been trembling irregularly, pulsed violently and accepted my powerful mana as it was.

"Haaang… Ahhh…!"

"That's enough. Just hold on a little longer. It'll be over soon."

I gently caressed the vice-captain's lower abdomen and helped her easily accept my mana.

Her whole body trembled and she twitched incessantly.

This was the critical moment. From now on, it was all up to her, not me.

"Gyaahh! Ahhhh! Ah, haa… haaah…"

Fortunately, the vice-captain's small body completely accepted my powerful mana flow.

The muscles in her lower abdomen, which had been tense, tightened once, and her breathing and mana flow became noticeably stable.

It was a success.

"Hoo…"

When the extremely dangerous and intense mana injection process finally ended, I too let out a sigh as I felt drained.

"Okay, now that it's done, calm down. I was worried that you wouldn't accept my mana, but fortunately, it seems you didn't reject it. It seems like you and I are a good match."

"Ah, Captain. Captain Wolfgang…"

The vice-captain must have been very tired, so she called my name and quietly closed her eyes for a while, letting out thin exhalations.

I supported the vice-captain's upper body and made her lie down diagonally, and waited until she could control her body on her own.

After a few minutes, the vice-captain's physical condition rapidly returned to normal and she came to her senses.

When she opened her eyes and looked at me, her face turned bright red again.

"Hot! Captain… Th, th, th… Th, I was so embarrassed a little while ago…"

"It's okay. I was exhausted and exhausted, and my mana was running wild, but how fortunate it was that it ended like that. You really worked hard to deal with such a difficult enemy all by yourself."

I thought as I patted the Vice-Captain on the shoulder.

Pietro, the trash covered in black energy, was truly too much of a burden for the Vice-Captain to handle alone.

He was a guy who had completely escaped from humanity, possessed endless regenerative powers, and even exuded quite a menacing aura, so if he had been just a little bit later, he could have been in big trouble.

—The monsters are running away!

—We won! Captain, where are you?

—I can't see the vice-captain either? Find them both quickly!

Meanwhile, looking into the distance, the remaining monsters were running far away.

The subordinates, who were excited by the sense of accomplishment from the victory, were looking for us.

I had to go to my subordinates now. We had won, but we couldn't leave out the cleanup.

"Vice-captain Agnes. Can you get up?"

"Ugh…! I'm sorry. Uh, I don't have any strength in my waist…"

However, the vice-captain was too exhausted to get up on her own.

And I couldn't make her stand in front of her subordinates with her upper body completely exposed and only a bandage wrapped around her chest.

It would have been much better if I had exposed my body.

I roughly put my underarmor on the vice-captain and then pushed my back out. Unlike my torso, there were almost no scars on my back, so it would have been less uncomfortable.

"I can't help it. I'll carry you."

"Huh?!"

"Are you going to make me say it twice?"

"Well, then excuse me…"

That's how the vice-captain ended up moving while riding on my back.

—Malkan!

I had to suffer from the strange yet subtle feeling of three faces rubbing against my back at the same time.

I could not help but press my chest, because of the vice-captain's body type, but why did I keep rubbing my face?

"Ssup! Haa… D, how come your back muscles are like this…"

"Please stay still. It's embarrassing for both of us, so wouldn't it be better for you to pretend to faint in front of your subordinates?"

"Yes…"

Although he encountered unexpected variables here and there.

In the end, the first large-scale battle he commanded as the commander of the Black Lion Knights ended with a relatively clean victory.

As soon as the ogre started punching the gate, Viscount Bartok, who had fainted while holding the back of his neck, came to his senses as soon as the battle ended.

"Oh, thank you! Thank you so much, everyone!"

Soon after realizing the situation, he gave the Black Lion Knights a warm welcome that was a bit burdensome.

The Viscount Bartok, a sort of gateway city to the system, was surprisingly wealthy for its small size.

It also had accommodations for hundreds of knights.

Viscount Bartok declared that he would provide as much rest and entertainment expenses as the entire Black Lion Knights wanted.

So I decided to stay here for a few days and rest with my subordinates.

In any case, we had to wait a while until the Inquisitors and the Imperial Security Service agents arrived.

Even if Bartok changed his mind and charged for the stay, it would be covered by the operational expenses.

On the other hand, fortunately, except for the unfortunate casualties from the 200th Regiment, which was the advance unit, there were no deaths in the remaining units.

Most were lightly injured, and even the most seriously injured were those with lost limbs.

If they didn't die, the priest would perform a miracle, so there was no problem. According to regulations, the medical expenses of officially ordained knights could also be treated as operational expenses.

That meant I could rest in peace.

"Good!"

I lay down on the soft bed in the single room of the highest-class inn and enjoyed the leisure I had not had in a long time. My subordinates would probably be having fun at a bar or brothel by now.

Since rest was important, I had no intention of controlling them, no matter what they did, as long as they didn't commit crimes. They were knights who had been appointed, so they would know how to have fun.

It was when they were rolling around so excitedly.

—Owl!

A pure white eagle owl suddenly flew in and knocked on the window of the inn.

"Oh, damn it..."

When I saw him, my heart sank.

Belatedly, I realized that I had forgotten something very important.

Come to think of it, it had already been a week since I had sent a letter to the princess.

I wondered how he had found his way here, but that wasn't important.

I opened the letter with trembling hands.

"Huh!"

The letter had countless scarlet lip marks inside, making me wonder why he had done this.

And on top of that, unlike usual, the content was just one short sentence written without a period.

[I'm looking forward to it]
