Chapter 1031: My Perfect Maid is on Fire.
Despite having told Rena that she wouldn't tell Victor about her 'mistake,' those words were only said to calm Rena down about the repercussions of her actions... A strategy that backfired when Rena herself became suspicious of Kaguya because she wasn't reporting the truth to the Emperor.
The dragoness internally huffed when she remembered Rena's attitude, despite it being an attitude she quite approved of, speaking volumes about Rena's loyalty to the Emperor. Kaguya wondered if Rena was underestimating the Emperor too much.
Victor had eyes and ears EVERYWHERE. This expression wasn't just figurative, as not only did he have his subordinates to act as his eyes and ears, but he could also observe the entire planet if he so desired.
His senses were so strong that she suspected that not even the current pantheons of gods could hide from his observations. She wasn't thinking this because of Nyx, who was an expert in concealment, but because Victor's set of skills allowed it, at least the abilities related to dreams, Negativity, and creation, which, when combined together, could literally bring 'dreams' into reality.
The proof of such thoughts occurred the moment Kaguya and Rena left the meeting.
[Good job, Kaguya.] Victor's voice resonated in her mind.
[Darling, did you know this would happen?]
[It was... Predictable... Lizbet got too excited and forgot to consider the big picture.] Victor lightly chuckled in her head.
[Fortunately, my ever-prepared wife was always keeping an eye on everything.]
Kaguya pouted mentally when she heard Victor's playful tone. 'He talks as if he had nothing to do with it. Does he enjoy teasing me like this?' She didn't even need to ask Victor to know the obvious answer to that question. Her husband could be quite childish at times, a trait shared with Anna and their daughters. Even the most serious and disciplined ones had that playful streak in them.
Well, Kaguya wouldn't complain since she liked seeing her master like this, and it just proved he was himself.
[Fufufufu~.]
Feeling the amusement coming from their connection, Kaguya squirmed even more when she realized her husband understood her thoughts.
With an expressionless face and emotions as calm as a lake on a summer day, Kaguya did her best to ignore those feelings and asked.
[Darling, I'm curious about something.]
[Oh? Tell me, my beloved wife.] The image of Victor sitting in front of his desk while looking playfully 'suggestive' at his 'maid' appeared in Kaguya's mind.
Kaguya did her best to ignore her husband's seductive tone and the growing warmth inside her. Even after all this time, she still couldn't fully get used to ignoring his tone, and he just knew how to push her buttons to make her act embarrassed and make her body warmer.
Keeping a professional face, Kaguya asked. "Why doesn't Darling use diplomacy to take over the remaining pantheons?" This was a doubt that had come to her mind a few days ago. After all, someone like Aphrodite could easily control the pantheon, and even Victor himself could do it if he used his charm.
She could more or less imagine the reasons why Victor didn't do that, or even if Aphrodite proposed a plan that involved her, but she was never sure why this option was never discussed.
'With Darling's current status and with him leading the negotiations, I wouldn't doubt that the leaders of the pantheon would reach some kind of agreement.' Kaguya thought.
"Oh, my dear maid... And to think you had so many doubts in your little head."
Kaguya shivered as she did her best to ignore the suggestive Master and Servant banter she was feeling from her husband. She took a deep breath and slowly exhaled her heated breath.
"It's not doubts, Darling... It's just curiosity." Kaguya corrected him.
Victor merely raised an eyebrow, his eyes sparkling with amusement as he looked at her as if she were a very lovely maid asking funny questions. Kaguya shivered even more when he did that.
'Damn! Accursed teaser!' Kaguya inwardly growled. She knew he was doing this on purpose because he was hitting all her fetishes, trying to make her hot and bothered, something that was working splendidly judging by her breathing in the real world!
Continuing to gaze at Kaguya as if he were seeing something very cute, he said, "The reason is quite simple, my dear."
"Pride."
"... Pride, huh."
"Yes. Gods are arrogant beings, with egos the size of a planet that most of the time can be as fragile as glass." As someone who had conquered the gods and had the memories of several of them within him, he understood the race known as 'gods' very well.
Kaguya could understand that, and this was one of the reasons she had thought of as well.
"For the gods to stay quiet and domesticated, we have to completely break their spirit of rebellion... Not to mention..." Victor's eyes gleamed with a sadistic shine.
"Negotiation is only done when both parties are on equal footing or if I want something from them."
Kaguya shivered even more when she saw that look on her husband's face, a look that made her even hotter and more uncomfortable. She loved it when he acted like that.
"They are not equal to me, and I also don't want anything from them that I can't obtain myself, so negotiation is unnecessary."
"Only conquest is necessary."
"... I see, so that is why Aphrodite never suggested using diplomacy at any point."
Victor scoffed when he heard the word 'diplomacy' as if he had heard an utterly alien word. "Diplomacy is only used when both 'strong' parties want to maintain a status quo that will benefit both, and for us, such things are unnecessary."
If there's one thing the war of hell taught Victor, it's that pretty words like 'diplomacy,' 'dialogue,' and 'negotiation' are not necessary in the supernatural world.
Diplomacy? The various true dragons of his pantheon were a great power of 'diplomacy.'
Dialogue? The warships that his beloved wife was designing, capable of erasing a being from existence with orbital cannons, were the perfect image of 'dialogue.'
Negotiation? The image of his full dragon form, capable of wiping out this entire planet with just his hands, was a great power of 'negotiation.'
The memories of millions of ancient beings within him and his personal experience in the demon war taught him that only those with the strongest fists will always win, which is why Victor strived so hard to always be on the winning side.
Kaguya nodded, completely agreeing with her husband's words.
"And so, my Maid, are you satisfied?"
A pleasant shiver ran down Kaguya's spine when she heard those words. "Yes, Master. This humble Maid is satisfied. Thank you very much for satisfying my little curiosity."
"Hmm, although I don't mind answering my most loyal servant's question... I'm not particularly happy to understand that this same servant has such suspicious thoughts about her master." He spoke with a disappointed expression. His performance was so perfect that he genuinely seemed upset.
Kaguya took a deep breath, causing her chest to rise. Then, she exhaled the breath she had taken, and a warm vapor came out of her mouth.
"I'm sorry, Master. You may punish this servant in whatever way you see fit for this insolence." Her eyes gleamed blood-red with pure desire.
"Oh~..." A broad smile spread across Victor's face. "I definitely will."
Kaguya visibly shivered, and this made Victor's eyebrow raise in surprise and then in disappointment.
"And to think my beloved servant would not only question me but also feel happy about her punishment..." He shook his head in a way that suggested he had failed greatly in disciplining his servant.
"Y-You are wrong, Master! I'm not happy or anything!"
"Heh~? Does this mean you are dissatisfied with your master?"
"N-No, i-i." Kaguya stuttered.
"Fufufufu, to think that my most faithful Maid would turn against her master..." The sadistic gleam grew in Victor's eyes. At some point, he vanished from his chair and appeared in front of her, as he held her face and raised it up: "It seems that it is not a punishment you need, but rather an extensive, time-consuming discipline~."
Kaguya can't wait for this! Cough, she means that she was very unhappy with such treatment! She was a perfect Maid! There's no way she could make a mistake! She was DEFINITELY not happy with this treatment! What did she do to deserve this!? She was a perfect Maid!
Kaguya shivered even more, and her face turned red when the word 'punishment' was changed to 'discipline'. It may not seem like much to an outsider, but discipline is something more 'horrible' and 'time-consuming' than punishment.
Kaguya can't wait for this! Cough, she means that she was very unhappy with such treatment! She was a perfect Maid! There's no way she could make a mistake! She was DEFINITELY not happy with this treatment! What did she do to deserve this!? She was a perfect Maid!
'Although no one is perfect, therefore, it is not impossible for me to make mistakes...' She justified herself while doing her best to control her heavy breathing and failing miserably in the process.
"I beg your pardon, Master~, I am such a defective Maid."
"Don't worry, my Maid…" He caressed Kaguya's face with a gentle, possessive tone. "It is my duty as Master to ensure that my lovely Maid always reaches her full potential."
"...I-I f-feel so happy to have such an understanding master... A defective Maid like me doesn't deserve so much."
"Even if you are a defective Maid…" Victor's eyes were like two violet black holes that seemed to suck in all existence. "You are my defective Maid~."
Kaguya's body shook as she found herself completely enveloped by the overwhelming feelings being gushed from Victor's body, and she completely drowned in this ocean of love, affection, and possessiveness.
Victor's hands began to surreptitiously touch Kaguya's body in many different ways.
"Your body, your soul, your emotions, your instincts, your thoughts, your entire being is completely, and only mine~."
Kaguya tried to contain her moan, but she was failing miserably in the process. Her whole body was hot, her mind had long since completely lost her rationality, and her entire existence could only think about her husband in front of her.
She felt like her body was being touched in ways that only her husband could do, both in a physical sense and in a spiritual sense. Even though her body wasn't really here, she completely felt everything.
Victor brought his face closer to her ear: "Now go, my Maid, go do your job perfectly, as my oldest servant, as my first servant, as the one I trust completely. You exercise my will. Do not disappoint me again with meaningless questions."
Victor pulled away from Kaguya, leaving her a flushed and hot mess. The Maid's eyes glowed with pure, unadulterated desire as he completely pushed all the right buttons in her, leaving her in a perpetual heat.
He displayed an innocent smile as if the previous expressions he made were just an illusion. "Who knows? Depending on your performance, I may be kind and decide whether or not to extend the period of your discipline."
Kaguya's eyes opened widely, and before she could say anything, she saw Victor snapping his finger, and like the curtain of a concert being closed, she returned to her body, which was currently in one of the sacred places built in the territory of the Celts. Rena, who was close to Kaguya, just looked cautiously at the woman. What was the reason for that?
Even though she was wearing the discreet clothes of the killers where nothing could be seen, just the darkness, the woman was acting very strange. She was breathing heavily and quite audibly for a few minutes, her body shook sometimes, her eyes seemed lost, and she seemed very restless, not to mention that for a few seconds, she swore she smelled the extreme smell of pure excitement and lust coming from the woman.
The smell didn't linger long and was soon drowned out completely, but she swears she smelled it.
The assassins' costumes had functions that not only made it easier for them to hide but also completely erased the smell and any other things that could give information to the enemy.
The killer could, of course, 'choose' to deactivate these functions. After all, sometimes, the best weapon for a good murder was deception.
Unlike the previous meeting with Lugh's former representative, Kaguya, when she arrived at this base, the first thing she did was completely deactivate the hair-hiding function, letting her long black hair flow. She then activated the partial mask function that only covered her face, her mouth, and her nose, leaving only her eyes, forehead, and black draconic horns showing.
Just as Rena was about to open her mouth to ask something, Kaguya's eyes regained some clarity, and she looked at Rena with an intense, predatory gaze.
"Let's go back to work." Kaguya's husky, desire-filled tone was quite attention grabbing.
"Y-Yes," Rena responded with a little fear due to Kaguya's intensity.
Kaguya got up from the sofa elegantly and powerfully. She was very grateful for the suit's preservation functions because if she were in normal clothes now, everyone would be able to see the mess that was her private parts.
The previous encounter made Kaguya release her internal liquids four times with just conversation and seduction. Her husband knew very well how to push all her buttons. It's because of meetings like this that the nighttime 'battles' never get boring.
Her husband was like an addictive drug that never got old. He not only addicted them to his body, he also addicted them to the emotions that numbed their senses.
The nocturnal act they did together was not just mere copulation; it was something deeper because the heavy emotions were always present. This was one of the other factors that even women like Aphrodite, Lilith, Lily, Helena, Aline, and Morgana women, who theoretically had an eternal libido due to their respective natures being satisfied with Victor.
The emotions, the act itself, the souls coming together, everything was... Overwhelming... And VERY satisfying and delicious.
Thinking back to the emotions of love, affection, and possession that she found herself flooded with just a few seconds ago, thinking about the 'discipline' she was going to have, Kaguya shuddered for 20 seconds straight, releasing more liquids, "Hmm~", luckily her suit took it all in, she wasn't even in a position to use the runes right now to fix her inner state which was a wet mess, and to be honest, she didn't even want to... She wanted to feel this desire for longer.
'Maybe I'm becoming like Lady Violet too.' Kaguya thought absently.
"L-Lady Kaguya, are you okay?" Rena supported Kaguya, who looked like she would fall at any moment.
Kaguya's mind awakened due to Rena's call.
"...Yes." She responded after a few seconds. "I just received orders from my husband... Let's continue our mission." She had a slip of the tongue and forgot to call Victor Emperor, something that was not noticed by Rena.
"Yes!" Rena responded with a fervor on her face and completely ignored Kaguya's state when she heard what Kaguya said. After all, the Emperor's orders were a priority for her.
Moments later, a shadow came out of the ground and spoke reverently: "Kaguya-Sama, the preparations are ready."
"Good, let's get everything in order by the end of the day. We need to guarantee a more than perfect job for the Emperor." Kaguya's eyes glowed with power.
"Yes!" Rena and the shadow responded with deep reverence and respect to Kaguya who was prioritizing a perfect job for the Emperor.
Little did they know that Kaguya's haste wasn't for the reasons they were thinking... But they didn't need to know that, right?
