1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:13,480 So, you finally arrived. I've been waiting for you, Paladin. Yes, I've noticed you as 2 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:20,720 soon as you entered my hideout. Your aura doesn't exactly help with the concealment. 3 00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:26,360 And considering the shiny sword in your hand, I can assume you're not here to have a friendly 4 00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:36,800 conversation. You seem worried. There are no traps in this room, if that's what you're 5 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:43,880 thinking. But since you'll hardly trust me, you can check for yourself. It's not like 6 00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:53,960 I have anywhere to run, is it? Alright, let's get done with this already. I'll get up from 7 00:00:53,960 --> 00:01:02,760 my armchair. 8 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:11,880 I have a question for you, Paladin. Why do you wish to fight me? No, there are no tricks 9 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:24,080 here. I'm only asking you a question. Please, wait. I could fight you now, and one of us 10 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:33,360 would certainly die. Perhaps even both. My question is, why does it always have to end 11 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:42,400 like this? Isn't your order the one that goes around preaching about mercy and redemption? 12 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:49,320 I wonder what you heard about me to hate me so much. Let me guess. They told you I'm 13 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:57,160 a lich, spreading misery and undeath on this land, that I steal innocent people's souls 14 00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:08,800 for power, that I'm the incarnation of evil itself. You don't need to answer. From the 15 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:17,120 look on your face, I can see that I'm worried. If I'm not those things, as it has to following 16 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:24,960 Paladin, can you abandon the single mindness you were thought during all of these years 17 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:34,000 just for once, and hear my side of the story? That's the only thing I'll ask from you. 18 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:47,800 Then you can make your own judgement. You accept? Good. You're an educated man, so I 19 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:56,120 suppose you know your share on history. Caught in the middle of the war zone, this land was 20 00:02:56,120 --> 00:03:05,040 completely ravaged a decade ago. Almost every man was killed, leaving only a few women and 21 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:13,840 children. We lost most of our defences and labour force, and that meant our people were 22 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:23,080 either going to starve to death, or get invaded and murdered, whichever came first. I was 23 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:30,720 young and not the most powerful wizard at the time, but I still had a talent for magic 24 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:39,680 and some knowledge of the occult arts passed to me by my father. Without many options, 25 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:47,200 I started raising some of the corpses of those who died in the war as soldiers and farmers. 26 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:54,760 I'm not the monster you think I am, Paladin. I'm well aware that raising the body of a 27 00:03:54,760 --> 00:04:04,520 dead person to serve you is not an act of good, but tell me, what else could I do? Watch 28 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:12,360 my people die terrible deaths, knowing that I'm the only one who could help them? Is that 29 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:19,760 something you would do? I will not pretend I don't have any blood on my hands. Kings 30 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:25,440 thought a place like this existing would be a threat to their authority, so they started 31 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:33,520 spreading rumors about me. Knights and adventurers came here to become so-called heroes, and 32 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:43,280 I had to defend myself. Please, consider all of your eyes have witnessed. Have you ever 33 00:04:43,280 --> 00:04:51,760 seen one of the undead from this land attacking or killing an innocent? I know you won't 34 00:04:51,760 --> 00:05:00,520 believe me. No one ever does. Even though I became more powerful, keeping and controlling 35 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:08,720 lives like this drains a lot of my life force. That's why my body is so weak and my skin 36 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:20,240 is so pale. I've never been a lynch in the first place. It even hurts sometimes. I'll 37 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:30,880 tell you the truth, Paladin. I can't fight anymore. And even if I could fight, I don't 38 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:41,200 want to. I'm tired. I'm tired of everything. Fighting, being hated like this for trying 39 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:52,400 to help people, being alone. I can't handle this anymore. I'll kneel with my back turned 40 00:05:52,400 --> 00:06:02,280 to you so you don't have to look in my eyes. Go on with your duty. And me, if you really 41 00:06:02,280 --> 00:06:20,320 have any mercy in your heart, I beg you to make it painless. What? I told you to kill 42 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:38,480 me. What are you? Why are you hugging me? Do you believe me? But even if you did, I 43 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:52,800 know your order wouldn't let you spare me, let alone comfort me. You don't care, but 44 00:06:52,800 --> 00:07:01,200 please don't let go. Please. I know I should be afraid of being at my enemies mercy like 45 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:13,440 this, but it feels so nice. Please stay like this, just for a little longer. What do you 46 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:21,240 mean I'm not your enemy anymore? I only did what I thought was the right thing, but I'm 47 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:29,480 glad you see me as a hero. If that's true, it's the first time an outsider says something 48 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:37,480 like this about me. Thank you, Paladin. You know you'll be putting yourself at risk, and 49 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:48,040 yet you're still doing this for a woman you always saw as an enemy. You truly are a kind 50 00:07:48,040 --> 00:08:01,000 man. Please, Wraith, don't look at me. I'm sure I look pathetic, full of red spots on 51 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:10,520 my skin and tears running down my face. I don't want you to pity me even more. And you 52 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:23,800 ignored my advice. Well, this is me, a hideous, broken mess. How can you say I'm beautiful? 53 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:33,800 Aren't you supposed to never lie? I know I look pitiful. All right, if you insist so 54 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:50,880 much, the least I can do is trusting you as well. Paladin, can I ask you a question? When 55 00:08:50,880 --> 00:09:06,080 do you return to the capital? Tomorrow? I see. No, nothing important. It only came to 56 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:18,000 my mind that you could spend the night here. Other people might want to harm me, so I was 57 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:32,160 wondering if you could protect me and maybe keep me warm, like you did just now. The nights 58 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:41,040 here are very cold. Sorry, that was a wild request. It's not something I should have 59 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:57,360 asked. You will? Really? Thank you. You can close the door and come properly then. Oh, 60 00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:08,920 wait, I'm not sure if the door will close after you, well, kicked it open. Don't worry, 61 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:16,200 you don't need to apologize for that. I can transmute another door later. And you can 62 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:28,480 also remove your armor if you wish to. All this metal must feel really uncomfortable. 63 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:37,480 Is it fine if we lie in bed together? I know it's not the most comfortable bed in the 64 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:47,840 world, but I hope it's enough. Also, as you can see, my blanket wasn't made for two people. 65 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:57,800 It barely covers us at all. That means we'll have to sleep very close together, right? 66 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:10,400 It's the most logic thing to do. Yes, put your arms around me as you did before, please. 67 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:21,160 This feels even better without all that cold metal. Your body is so, so warm. This feeling 68 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:33,200 is so different. Odd, even. But in a good way. My body always felt cold and lifeless, 69 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:44,120 but for the first time I feel warm and safe. And the closer we get to each other, the more 70 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:57,120 I notice something paladin. You're so handsome. Your warm body, your skin, your gorgeous eyes. 71 00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:14,040 They're all so perfect. May I ask a question? Are you taken? Do you have a life? No? 72 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:25,680 That's surprising, honestly. I only ask because I don't want to do anything wrong. And with 73 00:12:25,680 --> 00:12:46,400 the way we're so close and caressing each other, I think we might end up. That was wow. 74 00:12:46,400 --> 00:13:10,000 Do you want to keep going? I certainly do. 75 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:28,440 Your lips are so soft and your hands so gentle. I could keep doing this forever. And I'm like 76 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:40,080 this with you paladin. It all goes away. The coldness, the pain, the sadness. I only feel 77 00:13:40,080 --> 00:14:03,920 happy. Do you think we can go a little further? 78 00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:28,320 This feels good. So good. Hey, why are you drifting away from me? Did I hurt you? What's 79 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:37,960 the matter then? I hope you didn't regret doing this with me. Oh, I see now. Your body 80 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:49,360 is having reactions. Look, there's no need to be ashamed. I'm actually flattered knowing 81 00:14:49,360 --> 00:15:03,760 to make you feel like this. Would you like to touch me? I mean, touch me in other ways? 82 00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:14,480 Yes, I am sure I would love that. Can you sit at the edge of the bed then? I need to 83 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:28,120 get up and take my robes off. I'm sorry. I wish my body wasn't so small and frail. You 84 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:36,560 still think I'm beautiful? I know it's not a hard task with this ghostly skin, but you're 85 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:47,240 starting to make me blush. Oh, you're untying your shirt too? And the blushing just got 86 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:58,320 worse. Of course, it's not a problem. I just think you're really... How do people say this? 87 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:07,920 Hot? I'm sorry. I've never been intimate with anyone. And the little I know about it 88 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:29,440 comes from books. I think I should maybe... Is it straddling you now? Of course, you can 89 00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:48,560 touch me. I... I'm on your lap, completely naked and vulnerable. You can do whatever 90 00:16:48,560 --> 00:17:09,920 you want to me. Your hands on my bare skin, on my breasts. It feels so good. And I love 91 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:21,120 the way you hold me firmly, but touch me ever so gently. Can I rub your chest too? I know 92 00:17:21,120 --> 00:17:38,480 I've said it before, but you're so perfect. Yes, you are. Oh, hey. You should tell me 93 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:50,720 before touching my womanhood like this. Oh, God. I'm getting so wet down there. That means 94 00:17:50,720 --> 00:18:04,720 I'm ready, right? Ready to be taken. Yes, I want to do that. I really want to. Please, 95 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:27,120 can we make love tonight? Is it fine if I go on top? I'm still a virgin after all, and 96 00:18:27,120 --> 00:18:36,160 it might be easier to control the pace this way. Thank you. I think it's better if you 97 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:47,360 lie down on your back. But I still want you to guide me, okay? You look just as ready 98 00:18:47,360 --> 00:18:58,000 as I am. So stiff and swollen. It's even hard to believe this is going inside me. No, no, 99 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:06,720 no, it's fine. Even if it hurts a bit. I've never wanted something so much before. Can 100 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:19,040 I do it? Please put your hands on my hips and help me move. I'll just slowly lower myself 101 00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:42,400 on you and let you take my first time. You're right. It's bleeding, but it also feels so 102 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:54,160 good. I want to feel more of this. Yes, I can take it. I promise. I'll keep sliding you 103 00:19:54,160 --> 00:20:10,080 deeper, okay? Until you're all the way inside me. I love this. I love these sensations. 104 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:19,040 I love being close to you like this. I tried to convince myself I didn't need to feel love, 105 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:28,960 but I was so wrong. This is much better than anything I've ever felt. I want you. I want 106 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:40,400 to feel every bit of you. Yes, you're going so deep. If I sink in just a bit more, I think 107 00:20:40,400 --> 00:21:04,800 you'll go all the way in. Work my hips. I can try. You mean like this? You can help 108 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:19,440 me. Come on. Use your hands too. Yes. Oh, yes. Keep thrusting into me. Yes. Yes. Keep 109 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:30,480 holding me tight, please. I can feel all the feelings building up. I can feel it. My body's 110 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:41,440 grooming, getting tighter and tighter around you. Tell me you feel the same. I don't know 111 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:53,440 how long I can hold this back. You do? Then please, please, let's go inside of me. Let's 112 00:21:53,440 --> 00:22:08,320 feel good together. Please. Yes. Yes. I think I'm... 113 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:52,640 I feel amazing. That was so good. It was really... 114 00:22:52,640 --> 00:23:04,160 I can feel your seat dripping out of me. Do you know what that means, right? Your soul 115 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:20,560 is mine. Hey, did I really scare you? I was joking. I'm sorry. It's fine. Good. I don't 116 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:33,120 want to scare you off after all of this. Thank you for everything, for making me feel all 117 00:23:33,120 --> 00:23:50,480 these things that I never thought I could. Hey, do you think you can maybe come back 118 00:23:50,480 --> 00:24:14,400 someday? I don't want this to be the last time I see you. You will. I'm so glad. I'm 119 00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:22,640 definitely a little bit tired after all of this though. Can I lie down and be held by 120 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:44,800 you again? I'll just snuggle up to you. You're so nice and cozy. Put your arms about my 121 00:24:44,800 --> 00:25:04,800 knees, please. Just like that. I could really stay like this forever. This is so perfect. 122 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:14,880 Before I sleep, can I ask something? If you wake up before me, can you wait a bit before 123 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:25,440 getting up and leaving? I really want to wake up in your arms tomorrow. I'd be the happiest 124 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:36,880 woman in the world if I could. Thank you. Thank you so much for everything. Good night, 125 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:56,400 my hero. Good night.
