Psst! We're moving!
After Hereb appeared in her life, a sliver of light in her darkness, she changed a little. Motherly love was a tremendous force that allowed her to escape the listlessness that had constantly weighed her down.
The baby now spent more time in his mother’s arms than in the cradle. Hereb was so attached to Renie that he would stop crying the moment he saw her. Because of that, she couldn’t let him go even more. It was as if he was showing her that she was the only person this weak being could depend on here.
Kahn spent very little time in the bedroom, so Renie was endlessly sinking into a loneliness she hadn’t even realized she harbored. So it was no wonder that the sudden existence of the baby had deeply penetrated her heart. Moreover, that baby possessed a warmth and peace that she couldn’t feel from the demon.
The initial wariness and fear subsided, and familiarity and naturalness took their place. They fit together in each other’s lives like perfect puzzle pieces.
In that process, it was somewhat natural that she would end up breastfeeding the baby.
________________________________________
One day.
The door suddenly burst open, and Renie, startled, held the breastfeeding baby tightly.
It was naturally Kahn who appeared. She didn’t know why she was so startled even though she knew that the only one who could enter this bedroom without permission was that demon.
No, thinking about it, the most dangerous person here was him, so it was understandable. She clearly remembered how he had approached her and completely shattered the firm resolve in her heart.
She hugged the baby tightly, as if she had a mission to protect it from that cold-blooded figure. Her heart, filled with fear and tension, throbbed and tightened.
Unlike her, Kahn, who had appeared nonchalantly, strolled over and sat on the bed. His blood-red gaze swept over the face of the baby, no bigger than his fist, and then fixed on Renie’s breasts, which he licked his lips at whenever he saw them.
Kahn suddenly snatched up the nursing baby.
“……!”
It was clear that he wasn’t holding the baby carefully at all, so Renie’s face turned as white as a sheet. That small life was so weak and fragile that it would crumble even with the slightest force from him. Renie’s heart sank uncontrollably, fearing that something might happen to the baby.
“What are you doing……! Put Hereb down!”
“Hereb?”
He slowly rolled the unfamiliar name over his tongue. Renie couldn’t help but flinch, her face full of wariness. It was just a calling of a name, but the fact that the one doing it was a demon made her bear a thorny tension.
“……It’s the baby’s name. You said I could name it whatever I wanted.”
“Hmm.”
Kahn’s eyes, slowly inhaling, gleamed smoothly. He didn’t seem to have any particular objection to the name, as he ended his reaction with a twitch of one eyebrow. No sooner had he turned his gaze than a female attendant with horns on her forehead appeared. The female attendant received the baby, who was crying loudly while dangling like a bundle in Kahn’s hand, and quietly withdrew.
This process happened before Renie could even gather the front of her widely opened robe. She came to her senses when Kahn’s dark shadow fell over her.
She tried to cover her front even now, but it was too late. Kahn pushed her shoulder, making her lie down, and then climbed on top of her like a swift beast. Her breasts, which had become heavy with milk after childbirth, swayed up and down.
As he circled his finger near her areola, white liquid droplets formed at her nipples even without much stimulation. After pausing appropriately, he firmly grasped her breast mound, and the milky white liquid that had gathered appetizingly flowed out in a slight arc.
Renie frowned and rolled her eyes.
“Wh, what are you…….”
Kahn tilted his head, his tongue sticking out, without replying. He swallowed the rising breast milk and, as if liking the taste, used his tongue to curl around her nipple. Soon, he latched onto the lewdly aroused peak and greedily sucked on it.
“Hiss!”
Under his merciless fondling, pressing down on her milk glands with his fingertips, her right nipple was sucked until it felt numb. He rubbed the nipple against the mucous membrane in his mouth, circling it with his tongue, and continued to stimulate it. Each time, she felt the milk flowing out along the milk ducts and into his mouth with a chilling clarity.
“I think I told you before. Don’t even think about giving milk to the brat.”
He mumbled lowly, smacking his lips as if enjoying the taste lingering in his mouth. Renie, who had been panting while rubbing her cheek against the bed, sharply opened her eyes.
“Then, hngh, what, what is the baby supposed to eat……? Are you planning to starve it to death?”
It was a long-winded protest after a very long time. A rather combative attitude, unlike her usual limpness. Kahn’s smooth eyebrows twitched as if he noticed that change.
“It’ll grow just fine without your breast milk.”
“How do you…… know that.”
“Have you already forgotten what it was like for me not to consume food?”
At Kahn’s words, Renie’s pupils shook aimlessly.
Those words were the same as saying that her precious baby was undoubtedly the child of a demon. Meaning it could live without eating things like humans.
She squeezed her eyes shut as if denying those words.
The baby, the baby that had come out of her split womb, looked like a human no matter how she looked at it. So even if this place was a den of demons, if she just raised it like a human, it might be possible to prevent its true nature from awakening. According to Gail’s explanation a long time ago, it wasn’t too late to give up hope yet.
Having reached that point in her thoughts, Renie pushed away the man on top of her and crawled clumsily towards the edge of the bed.
This persistent and tasteless demon wouldn’t leave breast milk for her child. So, to protect the nourishment for the baby, she had to struggle at least a little. But before she even reached the edge of the bed, her ankle was grabbed and she was pulled back sharply.
“Where are you going? I haven’t even had a proper taste yet.”
Kahn, who had turned her prone body onto its back, brought his handsome face towards her breasts.
“No, no……!”
“Why are you being so cute today?”
Kahn gazed down at her resisting with a pale face and spoke without a hint of mercy.
“Just stay still. I’ll suck gently.”
“Hngh, heuu.”
Kahn, who had wrapped Renie’s legs around his waist to prevent her from escaping again, now rubbed his already erect lower abdomen against her and sucked on her nipple. His elegant lips moved delicately, as if savoring the nipple. Renie let out a sob and arched her back.
Since he had mischievously tormented her right breast earlier, it seemed it was the left one’s turn. Her sharply erect nipple, as if preparing to release milk, trembled whenever it was toyed with by the moist and fleshy mass. Every time he sucked with force, she felt a chilling sensation as if her soul was being sucked out along with the breast milk.
Kahn, fascinated by the fluid she emitted, greedily bit and sucked on her nipple.
He couldn’t exactly tell what it tasted like, but once it went down his throat, it was so sweet it made his whole head tingle. He was certain that it wasn’t because breast milk was generally like this, but because the owner of the breast milk was her.
“A-eung, heuu-eueung…….”
He chewed and licked her left breast as if savoring a delicacy, and pulled and rubbed her right breast with his hand. Both of her softly full breasts readily released the milky white milk that flowed through them. It was all sucked into Kahn’s mouth without even leaving a sticky trail.
He finally parted his lips with a smack and lifted his head. Her nipples, thoroughly toyed with, felt so tender it was scary to touch them. The suction power, different from the baby’s, made her nipples swell tightly.
Kahn fondled the protrusion, swollen like his thumbnail, with sinister eyes. The way it flowed with the fluid he welcomed was so dizzyingly arousing it made his mouth water. His insides began to twist tightly, as if filled with heat.
All Renie had done was plead and resist, but she was completely drained.
But unfortunately, this bizarre act of the day was just the beginning.
Afterward, he would loosen her clothes at any time and suck on her swollen nipples. The silk gown she had put on to care for the baby would repeatedly end up draped like a snake’s shed skin under the bed with his intrusion.
“Haa, hiss.”
He sucked until his cheeks were hollow, quenching his thirst, then mischievously played with his tongue as if digging to see if there was anything more to come out. The cold touch made her whole body twitch.
Every time, Renie desperately tried to push away the black-haired head tickling her skin and squirmed her toes. Even though she knew that this childish struggle would always end in the demon’s victory, she couldn’t stop resisting.
Kahn, who chuckled at the little animal’s struggling gesture, grasped Renie’s breast and rhythmically kneaded the plump flesh.
“Ah-heuh, ungh.”
As he flicked her tightly erect nipple with his fingertip, it spat out a milky, glistening liquid, as if there was still plenty left inside. Passing over the round mound, the breast milk left a sticky trail down her alabaster white belly.
With skillful and lewd touches, he stimulated her breasts, making them endlessly release the milky white liquid.
“Ah, paa……!”
Finally, Renie, unable to bear the tingling pain spreading from the tip of her breast, gasped like a moan.
“Don’t, hngh, do it. If the baby, the baby wakes up…….”
She recalled the baby sleeping soundly in the cradle outside the curtain and hurriedly tried to dissuade him, but it was no use. As if addicted to breast milk, Kahn had no intention of letting go of her breasts unless he moistened his tongue with it, as if he were on the verge of death. Her nipples, swollen and red, had no time to recover from the swelling because he was constantly biting and chewing on them every day.
“Don’t, st, eugh!”
He seemed displeased that she kept pushing him away, so he suddenly moved down and licked the black tattoo. Despite not wanting to, Renie’s waist arched sharply at the rising arousal, and she tightly gripped his shoulders. Her mind, betraying her will, went blank.
He gently rubbed his sharp nose under the mound before slyly moving up and latching onto her nipple again. The stinging heat now spreading over her chest, which had been full of pain just moments ago, was due to his arousal-heightening magic.
“Eugh, eugh, no! No…….”
The bad thing about magic was that the recipient’s mind remained clear. That is, she had no choice but to helplessly watch her body react to his touch, ignoring her reason.
It was so disgusting that she felt like vomiting.
“Don’t, I said no……!”
Only after protesting did she realize that she had been refusing more often these past few days.
Until childbirth, Renie had been in the worst state of mental weakness in her life, and at that time, she was truly one step away from the door of death, feeling listless day after day.
So much so that it wouldn’t have been strange if she had stopped breathing the next day.
However, after giving birth and feeling the need to protect her baby, her will began to return. She was afraid to hope again. Hadn’t this demon done that to her? Saying that it was fun to watch human hope turn into despair.
So, even though she knew she had to act like before to avoid revealing that she held hope, she couldn’t do as she wished. It was because this demon, who was bloodshot with the inability to completely chew and swallow her whole, kept stimulating her again and again.
“My bride is quite stubborn.”
Kahn lowered his large hand and covered the tattoo.
“It’s fine to be spoiled, but how many times have I told you?”
He then roughly rubbed that area as if pressing down on it.
“……Hngh!”
“I fuck you when I want to.”
As the tattoo was stimulated, an unknown fever spread through her nerves to her entire body. Her eyes widened, her jaw trembled, and unnecessary strength went into every part of her body. Even while still, her back arched and circled helplessly.
So naturally, her thighs, which had been trying so hard to stay closed, had no choice but to lose strength. Her tightly hidden crotch, completely soaked, revealed itself before him.
Without hesitation, Kahn pushed two fingers into her vagina and lightly stirred inside. While Renie groaned and writhed in agonizing pleasure, his fingers became slick with vaginal fluid.
He lowered his trousers and, with a flick, transferred the sticky love juice to his erect cock and shook it up and down. His glans throbbed fiercely, as if wanting to immediately devour the narrow cave.
He grasped the head of his cock with one hand and pulled it down firmly. The urethral opening, a very slight indentation like a groove, was revealed outside the foreskin. He aligned it with Renie’s clit and gently rubbed it.
The red, engorged protrusion met its opening and rubbed thickly. Kahn put strength into the arm propping up Renie’s head and expertly manipulated her clit with perfect control of pressure.
“Hiss, aah-eung.”
On the surface, it looked like he was simply rubbing his veined cock against her vulva, but looking closely, a truly lewd caress was taking place. The thick seminal fluid leaking from the small opening of his glans met the water pouring from Renie’s lower region and flowed down her buttocks groove like a stream.
After sufficient foreplay, Kahn gradually inserted his cock, sticky with seminal fluid.
“Haa-eung……!”
“I’ll fill your lower mouth, so whine appropriately.”
It sounded exactly like the irritability of someone whose pleasant hobby had been interrupted. He licked the bright red protrusion, glistening with milky white fluid, with his tongue and thrust his hips at her spread legs in a steady rhythm.
“Haa! Ungh, eugh!”
“You, keuh, you’re no different. You’re crazy for my cock and greedily suck it with your little hole.”
“Hngh! Ah, ah!”
“Then you should understand how I feel, right?”
It was all because of his wicked intention to heighten her senses.
Renie, who had been glaring at him with fierce eyes, suddenly noticed a shadow flickering outside the curtain and flinched in surprise. He had probably known about the presence she had just noticed long ago, as he didn’t care at all and focused on sucking her breast again. Renie frowned at that bizarre passion.
“Your Majesty.”
The shadow outside the curtain revealed its presence not just with movement but also with a voice. The owner of the familiar voice was Biron.
Renie’s pupils, gripping Kahn’s broad shoulders, trembled. She had shown him sex scenes in front of his subordinates countless times, but she still couldn’t get used to the blatant exposure.
As if he couldn’t hear Biron’s urging, Kahn focused only on greedily devouring Renie. He gripped her hamstrings and stirred the narrow hole inside her snugly. Of course, his face was still buried in her full breasts.
“Haa, hiss!”
Even if the insertion wasn’t so violent as to burst her lungs, the sheer volume of his cock made her naturally breathless. While struggling, Renie, pushed to the edge, had her neck arch back over the bed as if it would break. Her delicate neck was fragilely prominent.
Perhaps because blood rushed to her head, her face flushed red as if it would explode. Feeling overwhelmed, she flailed her arms in the air like a drowning person, and Kahn chuckled, pulling Renie back onto the bed.
Finally lifting his face, which had been buried in her heaving breasts, he slowly moistened his lips with his bright red tongue. A languid smile conveyed his satisfaction. He had a very pleased expression from the taste of breast milk that had been lingering in his mouth.
“About the baby.”
Kahn, pausing his hip movements, propped himself up on his elbow beside her head and spoke languidly.
“I’m thinking of sending it to the advisors soon.”
“……What?”
Renie’s expression, who had been catching her breath in a now normal position, instantly froze. It was as if she didn’t understand what she had just heard.
“It’s the one who will ascend to the next throne. Now that it’s born into the world, there’s a need to verify if it has the qualifications to take that seat. The advisors will assist its growth and guide it.”
“That’s, that’s ridiculous…… It’s a baby. It’s still a newborn!”
Feeling a dizzying spin before her eyes, Renie hurriedly shook her head. The life she had held in her arms was a fragile being that couldn’t even hold its head up on its own without someone taking care of it.
And he was going to take that baby somewhere else.
The complexion that had barely regained its vitality these past few days quickly crumbled. Like when she lost the holy knight Ruben, like when her own father succumbed to his evil power, like when the necks of those who had treated her warmly were severed by his hand.
Familiar and sickening despair was burning her heart black again.
“No, no!”
The baby is mine. My child. Not a demon, but a human. Not evil, but a person. A being that might not become a demon if I raise it. My only support. My hope that I barely found in this dark world!
With a gaze filled with unspeakable and fierce protest, Renie repeatedly shook her head. A fragile light, as if about to extinguish, flickered between her shattered emerald eyes.
Kahn was staring intently at it. The unique light that had returned to her pupils, which had once been stained with resignation. It was hope for her, and an opportunity for him. Soon, Kahn twisted one corner of his mouth into a smirk and waved his hand once.
Following his gesture, the curtain that had been tightly drawn until now opened haphazardly.
When the dimly lit scenery of the bedroom, which had been hidden by the dark cloth, was faintly revealed, Renie’s heart sank coldly. It was because Hereb, who should have been sleeping in the cradle with soft breaths, was being held in Biron’s arms.
“No…….”
Only then did Renie realize why his subordinate had been in the bedroom. It was to take the baby she had given birth to in pain, by Kahn’s command. Over the figure of the baby sleeping soundly in his arms, the hallucination of Ruben, kneeling helplessly while being held by him, flickered.
“No! No, no! I said no! Don’t take it away. It’s my baby. It’s my baby……!”
She reacted violently, like someone having something precious stolen from them. Blood rushed to her eyes, making them burn hotly. She suddenly raised her upper body, but was restrained by Kahn’s hand pressing down on her shoulder, forcing her back onto the bed.
Tears welled up in her faded emerald eyes, gradually making them glisten. The predator who had pinned her down was watching her quietly, as always.
“Please, please. Don’t take Hereb away. Leave my baby, my baby here. Where I can see it, hngh, where I can see it.”
“Do you want to raise it yourself?”
Kahn asked gently, as if offering a choice. The hand that brushed back her disheveled hair was nothing like the brute who would snatch a child from its mother. But his relaxed eyes held an extraordinary madness.
Lost in panic, Renie didn’t notice that his crimson eyes had become more persistent and sharp than usual as she nodded her head frantically.
“Renie, you hated our baby.”
“No. No. I…… Please. Leave it here. Don’t take it away from me. Please…….”
She thought she would never again abandon all her pride and beg this demon, yet why was the situation unfolding so tragically again?
Deep anguish was meaningless. Right now, she was only preoccupied with stopping him. She didn’t want to lose Hereb. He was the baby she had given birth to, her hope, and the only being in this place who might be like her.
It was then that Kahn, who had been blankly staring at Renie as she crumbled moment by moment, gave a meaningful smile.
“Then say you love me.”
Her body, trembling uncontrollably, stiffened at the condition he calmly offered. Her eyes, which had been darting around in confusion, fixed on him like a stone statue.
“What……?”
“Tell me you love me.”
Renie inadvertently bit her lower lip tightly. It was a kind of habit. A habit stemming from her stubbornness to never be dragged in the direction he wanted. For example, she would rather bite her tongue than say those words he so desperately desired.
Renie’s fingertips, resting on his chest, trembled. Ah, now. Now she understood what this demon wanted and why he was doing this. To fulfill his own desires, he was the kind of being who would not hesitate to use even his own flesh and blood.
Still, he was as firm as an insurmountable rock to Renie. Her tear-stained eyes sank forlornly, like a small boat crashing against a rock.
Kahn stared intently at her tightly closed lips.
“…….”
“…….”
Even after waiting for a long time, Renie’s lips didn’t move. It was a more certain answer than anything else. Suddenly, her icy retort from the past, “There’s no way I could love someone like you,” came to mind.
As if that situation was repeating itself, deep furrows formed between Kahn’s smooth eyebrows.
Perhaps taking that signal as a kind of warning, Renie’s fingertips gripping his chest dug in deeply. Something within her also twisted so brutally. It was the only pride left for Renie, who had lost everything. A pride that made her feel self-loathing, wondering why she had even held onto it if it was going to crumble so pathetically in the end.
“Sa…….”
“…….”
“I love you…….”
Even though Renie was aware that she was opening her own lips, she couldn’t understand what she was saying. The words that brushed past her ears felt so foreign that goosebumps rose all over her body.
Love? Did she say she loved him?
Whom? This demon? This son of a bitch? The one she wanted to strangle right away? There was no way. There was no way she could love him. But why was she saying it? Why was she telling such a lie? Why was she saying words that felt like she’d rather bite her tongue?
“I love you.”
Because she had to save Hereb.
She absolutely couldn’t stand the thought of the baby being tainted by evil.
So she had to say it. This was nothing more than a confession that looked good on the surface but was hollow inside. No, it wasn’t even a confession. It was just a dry word created by the resonance of prayer. A sentence that, if split in half and looked inside, would be empty of anything.
Kahn’s pupils twisted fiercely for a moment. He grabbed Renie’s chin, which was trembling like a believer confessing their sins rather than love.
“Again.”
“I, love you.”
“Say it again.”
“I love you…….”
Each time he heard it repeated, his insides filled with a hot sensation and twisted tightly at the same time. An intense pleasure surged, so much so that if he hadn’t been mindful of his lower body, he would have ejaculated limply.
He had sought to bind her completely, even breaking down her last remaining pride, and at this moment, he had achieved that grand ambition.
“Biron.”
At his low call, Biron, who had already reached the doorway, quietly returned and placed the baby down. Renie’s gaze focused on the small body visible inside the cradle.
Seeing it wriggling before her eyes, she could finally breathe. Finally.
“Hiss……!”
His veined cock thrust into her contracted hole again, digging deeper. The brief rest was over, and the sex resumed. Renie’s knuckles gripping the sheets turned white. The power from his solid build made her weak body sway as if it would break.
Nevertheless, Renie only looked into the cradle with a pitiful gaze. She was checking if the being she had protected by breaking her pride was safe.
Perhaps displeased by that, Kahn grabbed Renie’s chin and turned her towards him. Their lips met hotly. It was a kiss that felt like being devoured. He poured out an emotion so dense it was suffocating between breaths.
Kahn’s hand fell over Renie’s arm gripping the sheet. His fingers intertwined with hers like vines. It felt like tiny shackles being inserted into every gap.
“Aaargh!”
With Renie’s high-pitched groan, his cock was inserted so deeply that it touched her cervix. The seed of his desire poured out and filled her insides damply.
Kahn enjoyed the long ejaculation, showering kisses haphazardly on her cheeks and neck.
“Even if it’s a lie, it doesn’t matter.”
“…….”
“I’ll gladly be fooled. Dozens of times, hundreds of times more.”
They both knew it was an empty confession. He felt it as deeply as she did. Nevertheless, Kahn was pleased. Satisfied. He was moved that even such an empty shell had drawn the words he had so longed for from Renie’s lips.
“So please tell me every day from now on, Renie.”
More than anything, the reason why even an empty shell didn’t matter was because he could fill the emotions within it himself. This heat seething inside him was so intense that there was no need for her temperature to be added.
What was overflowing, unable to even boil over, was Kahn’s, his, the demon’s love.
“I love you too.”
Like covering one’s eyes and pretending, confessions poured out from above along with hot breath. Her reason was deeply immersed in relief, and her instincts in disgust. It was a relief that the baby hadn’t been taken away, but the fact that she had ultimately fallen for his trickery created an unbearable nausea.
It was as if the despair within her chuckled and mocked her, saying, “Didn’t I tell you not to harbor hope?”
________________________________________
In the bedroom after the intercourse and Kahn’s departure.
On the bed where the scent of night-blooming jasmine lingered thickly, Renie lay as if dead. That figure was no different from an old castle, guarding a desolate ruin alone, collapsing pathetically. After staring at the empty air with vacant eyes for a long time, she slowly raised her upper body after a while.
Stepping on her trembling legs, she barely reached the cradle.
“Hereb…….”
She stretched out her arms, which were bruised and mottled as if bitten by a beast, and hugged the softly sleeping baby. As she regained that warmth, it felt as if her heart, which had been split in half and only cried out in pain, was regaining some peace.
Leaning her back against the cradle while holding the baby, Renie slumped down and slowly moved her lips.
“Love…….”
Even while groaning hoarsely, the word that the demon had repeatedly urged her to say formed between her teeth. Renie’s gaze slid down and reached Hereb, who was asleep in her arms.
“I love you.”
“…….”
“The only one I love is you.”
Not that demon I want to strangle to death, but you, Hereb. The being who allows me to live as ‘Renie.’ You are my only remaining hope and attachment.
“I love you, I love you, I love you…….”
Renie patted the milk-smelling baby and repeatedly murmured those words with vacant eyes. In the silence-filled interior, the metallic confession floated aimlessly, like a spell of brainwashing.
