I, Herrscher Slayer

Chapter 155: A Grand Tragedy

This sleep was truly comfortable, as if my entire body had relaxed, like finally sitting down after standing for so long.

In the early morning, Rita opened her eyes and gazed at the ceiling. Her biological clock, long established, woke the maid on time. Last night, lingering in that strange sensation, Rita had an unprecedentedly good sleep, feeling her whole body relax. Shen Gonglin was truly useful and easy to use. Having him bite her before sleep was comfortable for the entire day.

It's just a little troublesome to change clothes.

The maid's cheeks flushed as she changed into her underwear. It was still early, but Rita usually woke up at this time. As a maid, she had to get up early to prepare everything necessary. She had to go to the command center later, so she needed to hurry and prepare breakfast. Although she really wanted to take a bath, she didn't have time.

Rita walked out of her room. After briefly pausing in front of Durandal's door, Rita decisively entered the bathroom. Her intuition told the maid not to disturb her. There was still some time, and before she finished breakfast, it was better not to go into Madam Durandal's room. She felt that if she went in, Madam Durandal might hate her forever.

She wondered if Shen Gonglin had succeeded in his revenge. If it was him, it should be fine. Even if the other party was Madam Durandal, Rita didn't doubt Shen Gonglin's ability to act at all, because he was super powerful.

After a simple wash, Rita went to the kitchen. The maid's uniform already had an apron, but Rita, who had already treated the uniform as casual wear, tied an extra apron. Beneath the black pleated skirt were her straight legs, pressed tightly together. Today, Rita was as perfect as ever.

She adjusted her skirt in front of the mirror. Previously, this skirt had been torn because she had to bandage Shen Gonglin, but Rita later felt that this ripped style looked quite good, so she kept it that way. It was highly likely that Shen Gonglin would also dine here today, so she decided to make sweets that were easy to carry. Don't ask why, it was just a maid's intuition.

"Vice-Captain... you are indeed at home. Is the Captain here? Today, the Bishop should send a communication requesting all Valkyries on standby at the base to be present."

Just then, Alvit pushed open the door and walked in. She, who was usually very familiar with Rita, often came in without knocking. Anyway, someone as perfect as the Vice-Captain wouldn't have any accidents. Look, no matter when she came in, the Vice-Captain was either preparing food in the kitchen or cleaning. She wondered who would marry such a good Vice-Captain in the future. Alvit used to have no one in mind, but now, Alvit always thought of someone.

If it were him, he would surely be able to satisfy the Vice-Captain's habit of taking care of others.

Standing in the living room, Alvit surveyed the situation inside. She knew yesterday that the Captain had also returned, so she came to Rita's place to notify them both. She wondered what important matter was going to be announced that required all Valkyries on standby at the base to be present. Her intuition told Alvit that it was probably related to that very spirited Angelic Highness.

"Is that so? Then Alvit, please go to Madam Durandal's room and call her. I can't leave here for now."

As she cracked an egg into the pan, Rita thought about it and decided to let Alvit go. Rita trusted her sixth sense. Who knew what the situation was in the room? It was best to let Alvit go.

"Oh, but Vice-Captain, if possible, please prepare a portion for me too. I woke up this morning and I'm still a bit hungry."

Alvit hadn't yet realized the seriousness of the situation. She looked at Rita with a smile and patted her stomach. The Vice-Captain's cooking was much better than the head chef in her restaurant. Even a simple breakfast could provide the most perfect enjoyment. It could be said that both the Captain and the Vice-Captain were the most perfect women she had ever seen. She truly hoped that one day she could become as strong and reliable as them.

"Okay, I'll cook... I'll cook it for you."

Cook? Was the Vice-Captain making stew today? That was quite rare, but anything she made would surely be delicious. Today, she was in for a treat.

Alvit turned and walked towards Durandal's room. She hadn't seen the Captain's sleeping face yet. Today was truly her lucky day.

This was truly... the longest night I have ever experienced.

In Durandal's room, the strongest Valkyrie's sapphire pupils were like glass beads that had lost their luster. She stared blankly at the ceiling. Unlike Rita, who had slept very well, Durandal had truly not slept all night. All of this was because of this Human Cancer beside her.

Silently turning her neck, Durandal looked at the person sleeping soundly beside her with the eyes of someone dead. The strongest Valkyrie's gaze was clearly not yet capable of killing someone, otherwise, why wasn't this guy dead yet?

When Shen Gonglin died, she would definitely buy two strings of firecrackers and hang them at Schicksal's airport to celebrate. She believed that day would be no less significant to her than humanity defeating Honkai. This Shen Gonglin... was simply not human!

Recalling the past night, Durandal closed her eyes in pain. This night was the darkest night of Durandal's life. Shen Gonglin had bitten her seven times. Every time she had recovered a little mobility, he would bite her again. Except for the first bite at the base of her thigh, all the others were on her neck. At first, Durandal thought she would develop immunity after getting used to it, but who knew that no matter how many times Shen Gonglin bit her, each time felt as intense as the first, bringing Durandal a suffocating feeling. Then Shen Gonglin would fall asleep, leaving her alone. Sleeping was fine, but could he sleep properly?

Durandal was so frustrated she wanted to cry. So this guy wasn't joking when he said he was restless in his sleep; he was serious.

At this moment, Shen Gonglin was sleeping beside Durandal. His even breaths were almost spraying onto Durandal's face. This was still considered good, but Durandal found it difficult to accept what was below his head. This guy was treating her like a pillow!

Chapter 156: Still a Child

His arm was around her waist, and his thigh was on her body. The key was that this guy actually drooled in his sleep. Durandal finally found a kindred spirit... Pah, no, at most she would drool on the pillow, but this guy, Shen Gonglin, was directly drooling on her. Durandal could clearly feel that cold sensation. Shen Gonglin, she had been defiled by him now.

Durandal tried her best to ignore Shen Gonglin beside her. Just then, a mobile phone ringtone sounded. Durandal was already very familiar with this sound, as it rang several times throughout the night, each time reminding Shen Gonglin that it was time to wake up and bite her neck. This guy was really not human.

He even set an alarm clock!

"Mmm... so noisy..."

Woken by the ringing, Shen Gonglin sat up groggily. The feeling of being woken up while still drowsy was really unpleasant. In fact, Shen Gonglin didn't sleep well tonight either, after all, it wasn't his familiar bed or familiar person. But for revenge, Shen Gonglin had made do with it, waking up every now and then. This was quite difficult for Shen Gonglin, but he was just that kind of person; he often did things that harmed others without benefiting himself.

Sitting on the bed, he let out a big yawn. Shen Gonglin, who had low blood pressure upon waking, was spacing out. How to put it, in this state, Shen Gonglin was much more pleasing to the eye than in his normal state. After all, when he woke up, he didn't act like a human. Durandal hadn't been able to sleep at all last night. The only comfort she could get was Shen Gonglin's dazed state when he first woke up. Who would have thought that Shen Gonglin, who looked so innocent and like a little angel, actually didn't act like a human? Life was truly unpredictable.

"...Mmm, good morning, Durandal~"

He yawned again. Shen Gonglin's purple pupils slowly focused. Durandal, realizing he was gradually waking up, also turned her head away. She didn't react to Shen Gonglin's voice at all. After all, silence was Durandal's greatest weapon now. Besides silence, she had no other options.

"Hey, I'm talking to you. If you ignore me, I'll bite somewhere else. As for where else I'll bite, I don't know. If you have a better attitude, maybe I'll let you off."

Stretching his arms widely, the sky had already brightened. Unknowingly, he had been punishing Durandal all night. Shen Gonglin looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction. He had to say that Durandal truly lived up to her title as the strongest Valkyrie; her "output" was also world-class. It felt like the sheets were almost soaked with her sweat, almost to the point of dehydration. Even so, Durandal didn't beg for mercy. Amazing, amazing.

"Will you stop biting me if I talk? Shen Gonglin, remember this, sooner or later, I will take your life!"

Durandal really wanted to remain silent, but when Shen Gonglin spoke, she couldn't help but open her mouth. As soon as she spoke, Durandal's voice was incredibly hoarse. After lying there all night, her throat was almost dry and smoking, coupled with the loss of moisture from her body... Thinking of this, Durandal couldn't help but blush. Why couldn't she withstand that feeling? It was so embarrassing, she felt like she had just been fished out of water, and all of this was because of Shen Gonglin!

"Mhm, mhm, I know, I know. I'm not the only one who wants this young master's life. Kiana and the Class Representative have also said that. You have to queue up. By the way, the sky has brightened, and I should be going back. Before I go back, I've decided to bite you one more time. How about it, aren't I good to you?"

Glancing at the sunlight outside the window, Shen Gonglin also felt the urge to go back. If he didn't go back now, the Class Representative would worry. However, before going back, Shen Gonglin decided to bite Durandal one more time. If he didn't give her this "top-up," Shen Gonglin feared she would recover and take his life. Biting her one more time would give him ample time to escape. He really was thoughtful.

"Hmph, that's all you can do. Come if you want, hurry up."

Durandal closed her eyes and tilted her neck. In the past, Durandal would never have imagined herself in such a resigned state. But now she knew that resisting was useless. Rather than resisting and giving Shen Gonglin more opportunities to take advantage, it was better to be bitten by him frankly. Anyway, she couldn't resist Shen Gonglin.

Pretending to be so accustomed to facing death bravely, Durandal actually knew that her body was still honest. After all, that feeling... she really couldn't bear it.

"...Has anyone ever told you that you can be quite suggestive sometimes? Your words make me feel like... hiss, why is there a breeze?"

Durandal's words made Shen Gonglin feel strange. He felt like this woman was teasing him with her suggestive remarks. However, whatever she said couldn't affect Shen Gonglin's determination for revenge. Seeing that she was ready, Shen Gonglin was also preparing to do it again. But at this moment, both Shen Gonglin and Durandal felt a cool breeze blowing in. How could there be wind? Weren't the doors and windows... closed properly?

Shen Gonglin turned his head and froze. Durandal, who had been waiting for Shen Gonglin's action for a long time, opened her eyes and looked towards the door. The girl outside the door, covering her mouth and turning into a world-famous painting, instantly gave Durandal a cerebral hemorrhage. What, what was going on!

"I, I didn't see anything!"

The looks from the two of them nearly made Durandal wet herself. Her brain's CPU clearly couldn't process what was happening. Durandal slammed the room door shut. A Valkyrie, rich in theoretical knowledge but lacking practical experience, slumped to the floor after closing the door. What did I just see... No, I didn't see anything!

Clutching her head tightly, Durandal slammed it against the wall. The impact, however, didn't make the images in her mind disappear; instead, they became clearer. I'm still a child. Shen Gonglin is also a child. How could Captain do something like this? The disciplinary team, should I notify them now?

The messy bed, the two tangled together, the bloodstains between Durandal's legs and on the sheets, and finally, Captain's mature tone, like someone experienced...

"You only have this one move. Come whenever you want. Hurry..."

Is it really as I thought? No, I became a Valkyrie to make this world a better place. Even Captain can't do something like this. Shen Gonglin is underage... Captain is also underage. I can only notify the disciplinary team about this.

Chapter 157: Knowing Too Much Is Not Good

"Durandal, what's wrong... Why do you look like you've seen your wife cheating on you but can't speak up, can only endure it by the door and have a pathetic reaction? What happened?"

At this moment, Rita, who had been paying attention to the sounds, also walked over. It was as she expected. Fortunately, Durandal had come. She came at the most crucial moment. As expected of the most useful tool in the entire Immortal Blade. With her here, Rita wouldn't have to feel so awkward knocking on the door. As soon as she arrived, she saw Durandal sitting on the floor. What kind of scene was unfolding in the room? Rita was a little... No, she wasn't curious at all.

"...Vice-Captain, what kind of divine metaphor is that! Let me tell you, let me tell you, in the room, Captain is... Woo woo woo, I can't say it!"

Seeing Rita was like seeing a lifeline. Although Rita's words made Durandal want to complain, she still rushed into Rita's arms like a swallow returning to its nest. What did I see? I didn't expect Durandal to be this kind of Captain. If I saw something like this, will I be silenced?

Durandal was terrified.

"It's okay, it's okay, don't be afraid. If you saw it, you saw it... However, Durandal, you know, sometimes knowing too much is also very dangerous."

While patting the tool's back, Rita took Durandal's phone from her hand. The sharp-eyed maid immediately spotted the disciplinary team's number on it. Right before Durandal's eyes, Rita pressed the number and deleted it one by one. Hearing the maid say this, Durandal's eyes widened. What did Vice-Captain mean? Why don't I understand at all? Do I know too much?

This poor Valkyrie suddenly felt a chill down her back.

"Durandal, you must know that with Bianca's status, even the disciplinary team has no right to interfere. After all, she is recognized by Schicksal as the strongest Valkyrie. Even the Bishop treats her with special consideration. Even if you report this... Heh heh, Valkyries are very united, you should understand what I mean."

Smiling with narrowed eyes, Rita was cleaning up the mess. After all, as a maid, she had to handle all the aftermath for her master. Durandal had served her purpose, and there couldn't be any more complications.

Hiss... Vice-Captain is right. Even if I report this, only I will die. As the saying goes, see nothing, hear nothing. Durandal, who works in intelligence, naturally knows this saying. She looked at Rita gratefully. Thanks to Vice-Captain, otherwise, I would really be in trouble this time. What should I do now? Captain saw me just now. Will she cause trouble for me?

It seems this silly deer is really scared. Why didn't I notice how stupid Durandal was before? She's so adorably stupid, it's quite fun.

Looking at the Immortal Blade member in front of her, Rita revealed a gentle smile: "Just pretend nothing happened. Durandal is not a demon. As long as you don't say anything, she won't do anything to you. However, you'd better not appear before Durandal right now. We'll be there in a moment. You go first... I've made breakfast for you on the table. Take it and leave quickly."

Patting the poor tool's shoulder, Rita gestured with her chin. Startled by Rita's veiled threats, Durandal numbly walked to the table. Feeling like she had witnessed the dark side of society, Durandal trembled as she looked at Rita.

"Vice-Captain, this won't be my last breakfast, will it? If it really is, can you add an egg for me?"

Durandal was terrified. What should I do if I know Captain's secret like this? How can I make Captain believe I won't tell anyone? Should I flatter Captain more now? But how can Captain accept my goodwill... Durandal couldn't help but overthink. Shouldn't I do something for Captain?

"...You watch too many TV shows. If it were your last breakfast, I'd give you three eggs. Hurry up and go. It will be awkward if Shen Gonglin and Bianca come out and see you."

Did I scare her too much? Durandal probably won't have any psychological trauma from this, right? It's so fun.

"Yes, yes, Vice-Captain, you're right. I'll leave now. Please apologize to Captain for me and tell her I understand, I didn't see anything!"

The tool lady grabbed her sandwich and ran out. She never expected Shen Gonglin and Captain to have this kind of relationship. But wasn't he also quite close to Vice-Captain? Vice-Captain even gave him a lap pillow. And Fu Hua also treated him quite specially... Forget it, the more I know, the less safe it is. I'll just be a bystander.

Was that Durandal just now? My biggest fear has indeed come true. When did life enter hard mode?

In the room, Durandal carefully recalled her words and her and Shen Gonglin's positions. The memory almost made her explode. The strongest Valkyrie curled her lips into a smile that was uglier than crying. Not only was she put in this situation, but she was also seen by a member of her team. Her reputation was probably ruined. She always acted like she didn't care about such things, but when it actually happened, Durandal really wanted to cry.

Perhaps I should transfer Durandal to the Siberian front line. It's sparsely populated and dangerous there. Maybe this secret can be protected.

"Shen Gonglin, now you've... Hey! What else do you want? It's already been seen, aren't you going to stop?"

Durandal thought Shen Gonglin would restrain himself after being seen by Durandal, but before Durandal could finish speaking, she noticed Shen Gonglin's movements. This guy didn't seem to be affected at all. Durandal could already feel a cool sensation on her neck. Shen Gonglin's biting of her neck was very particular; he had to lick it to disinfect it before biting!

"Since it's already been discovered, wouldn't it be a disadvantage if I didn't do anything? I'm being misunderstood as having done something even though I haven't. It might as well be real."

Saying this like a tongue twister, Durandal understood it clearly. What "haven't done anything"? He had clearly been doing it all night!

Seven times in one night... No, it's eight times now...

The Valkyrie's eyes gradually lost their light. Heh heh, this feeling again. Durandal is also used to this feeling.

Chapter 158: Normal Orientation

Since Durandal has already entered, the two inside must be prepared. If I enter now, it shouldn't be awkward. I hope I don't see anything I shouldn't.

After waiting at the door for a while, Rita pressed her ear to the door but heard no sound from inside. The maid was also curious about what had happened to make Durandal like that. After much thought, Rita decided to go in and see. Shen Gonglin should have succeeded, after all, it was him.

"Durandal, I'm coming in... Hmm? Where is Shen Gonglin?"

Rita gently pushed open the door, but to her surprise, only Durandal was lying on the bed. Shen Gonglin, who should have been in the room, had disappeared. Rita looked around. The maid thoughtfully avoided lingering her gaze on Durandal. Bianca looked like this, and it wasn't suitable for others to see.

"...He just ran away. Rita, can you help me?"

Lying motionless on the bed, Durandal looked like a disheartened girl who had been ravaged all night. She slowly turned her head, her sapphire-blue eyes shimmering with water. Besides the strange feeling in her body, there was also a sense of relief. It was finally over. Shen Gonglin, that guy, had finally left.

"Gone? I even prepared breakfast... It's my honor, Bianca. Leave everything to me."

Looking at the half-open window, Rita knew how Shen Gonglin had left. If it were on the second floor, Shen Gonglin wouldn't dare to go down. Rita was a little discouraged that her carefully prepared breakfast wasn't used, but the perfect maid didn't show it. She gave Durandal an understanding smile. The maid didn't even ask what Bianca needed help with. She walked to the bedside and slowly helped Durandal up. The damp sweat on her body and the dried blood on her legs made the maid's eyes narrow slightly. No way, did Shen Gonglin really do something like that?

This was somewhat beyond Rita's expectations. Shen Gonglin shouldn't be that excessive.

"May I ask, Durandal, do you need me to prepare red bean rice today?"

Rita couldn't accept this without clarifying. She fully trusted Shen Gonglin and tacitly allowed him to enter Durandal's room. If Shen Gonglin really did something like that, she would also be responsible. After all, it was a girl's most important thing. Shen Gonglin shouldn't have, based on her understanding of him. Although he was willful and reckless, he wouldn't go this far.

"Prepare what red bean rice... Rita! I was just bitten by him! You've experienced this too, haven't you? Also, you knew he was here yesterday, why did you cover for him? This matter doesn't involve you, does it?"

At first, Durandal didn't react. When she noticed Rita's downward gaze, she realized what the lecherous maid was thinking. Her face, which had finally returned to normal, turned red again. What is this maid thinking? If something like this really happened, do you think Shen Gonglin could still walk out alive? Durandal, despite her straightforwardness, knew what Rita meant from reading books. After a brief moment of shyness, Durandal looked at Rita critically.

Rita's cooperation must have been involved in yesterday's events. Otherwise, how could Shen Gonglin have succeeded so smoothly? This maid is a traitor.

"I'm sorry, Lady Durandal. I was also affected yesterday. I wanted to warn you, but my condition at the time... you understand."

The perfect maid opened her small mouth and spouted nonsense. If she were trying to deceive someone else, she might have come up with a more convincing excuse. But when the target was Durandal... although it was wrong, Durandal was indeed very easy to fool. She believed most of what anyone said, which was endearingly straightforward.

"So that's how it is... I'm sorry, Rita. It was my mistake to suspect you. I want to take a bath now. You understand, it's a bit difficult for me to get to the bathroom on my own..."

Durandal nodded apologetically to Rita, not doubting the maid's words at all. Rita, who had deceived an honest person, felt no guilt. After all, strictly speaking, she hadn't lied. She had indeed been bitten by Shen Gonglin yesterday.

"Yes, does Lady Durandal need me to help her bathe? Although I don't have experience with this, I'm confident I can do my best."

Rita helped Durandal up and obediently led her toward the bathroom. Seeing her condition, it was clear she needed a bath. How many times had Shen Gonglin attacked Lady Durandal last night? Rita's eyes were filled with admiration as she looked at Durandal. She truly lived up to her reputation, the strongest Valkyrie.

If it were her, she would have been incapacitated after just one bite, but Lady Durandal could still stand and walk on her own. She was truly too strong.

It was precisely because Rita had experienced it herself that she knew how irresistible that feeling was. Yet Durandal could endure this much. The maid's image of Durandal soared in her heart.

"No! No... no need. Just take me to the bathroom. I'll handle the rest myself."

After Rita said that, Durandal reacted as if she had been shocked. The girl remembered Rita's reaction from last night. Even though she knew Shen Gonglin might have been behind it, she didn't dare let Rita do that. Durandal was afraid. In her current state, if Rita really did something to her, she would have no ability to resist. Although she had been tormented by Shen Gonglin all night yesterday, Durandal still preferred men. Rather than being violated by Rita, she might as well have Shen Gonglin help her...

Tsk! Why was she thinking of him again? It wouldn't work even if it were him. That guy was now on Durandal's death list. Shen Gonglin was already dead to her!

"Oh, then Lady Bianca, please hurry. We still need to get to the command center."

Rita blinked her eyes. She immediately understood why Durandal was so resistant to her. Her reputation had ultimately been ruined by Shen Gonglin. This was truly a case of a dirty mind seeing perversion everywhere... seeing perversion in others. It was as if she was coveting Durandal's body, as if no one else was. Was she less slender or less well-endowed than Durandal? Rita Roseweisse was a normal person, a woman who liked men, a perfectly normal, normal person!

Seeing Durandal's guarded expression, Rita disdainfully curled her lips. Did she really think she was some kind of irresistible charmer?
