Let There Be Blessing Behind You - Chapter 96
Story 56. The World I Didn’t Choose (1)
Chapter 96
The woman placed me on the floor and laid herself down too. I could tell that we were definitely indoors.
Why didn’t this woman just leave me on the street? Why did she make such an effort? What was she trying to do?
She knew what I was thinking, and with extreme frustration, she screamed at me, “Gosh! How could I just leave you when the Virtuous Priestess ordered me not to?! Especially when I know why she ordered me to do this!”
“T-that crazy w-woman…?”
“Crazy? How dare you! Think about it. Imagine you are a woman who has to be raped by a man, possibly many men, every month! People think she is so lucky to be selected, but that is stupid! She was helpless against the world, so she did what she had to do to survive! How could you call her crazy when all she did was defend herself?! Huh?! You stupid, ungrateful man!”

“…”
She screamed her lungs out, which must have tired her out even more. She became breathless and finally calmed down a little. With a quieter voice, the woman explained, “Gee… Well, at least, you will get better slowly if you stay here. This place is supposed to be magical, so… I wish I could take you down the stairs, but… I don’t think I can! But… Still…”
In the dark, she stood up and stumbled towards me. She grabbed my lifeless body and dragged me a little further. My body was sticky, and this was when I realized that I was covered in blood. I guessed that I probably got a lot more cuts and scrapes as she dragged me here, but I didn’t feel much of anything.
Just how much blood did I lose? The floor underneath me felt wet too. Was the girl’s skirt soaked as well?
“I know they say this place has a special magic, but I’m not sure. Your pulse is too weak. You act all tough and manly, but look at you now! I was told that as long as you were breathing, you would get better here, but… You look so bad! Hey! Can you even hear me? Answer me! Hey!”
At first, I thought she was asking me to answer, but I realized that this wasn’t the case. Within a few seconds, I heard the echoing voice of a man.
That horrible man…
“Girrlll?! Oh! Do you need help, my pagan guests?”
The floor began to shake. I knew this wasn’t a hallucination like the last time because the vibration was too high. Prince Camille hated it when this happened. The shaking was becoming worse, and the floor began to split in different places. I was also shocked and weak to stop him. The mad prophet continued, “I welcome you, human! Mortals! I cannot kill you. I can’t!”
He sounded like he ruled this place. He was like the maker of it, and with his words, my surroundings began to change. The coldness changed to warmth, and the darkness turned into bright colors.
The mad man continued, “Belief can be a sneaky thing! Of course! Acamille tells us that not everything is what it seems. The truth! I very like it! It’s good! Bless you!”
He was talking nonsense again. My ears were ringing from his loudness, and Fatima was nowhere to be found. Did she leave me here again?
Then suddenly, I was at the beautiful beach again. The beautiful waves, blue rose petals, and the divine army…
On the far-away stage, a noble El Hwenia yelled, “Pro Imperio!”
The crowd surrounding him raised their hands together and answered him loudly, “Pro Imperio!”
“Eho! Eho! Eo!”
Suddenly, I realized what they were saying. Hurray, hurray, glory be to the kingdom. It didn’t seem to matter which nation they were cheering. I followed suit and yelled as well. I raised my hand like them and screamed, “Pro Imperio!?”
***
El Hwenia were prominent noble figures with the same bloodline. They ruled the kingdom. We, the officers, always considered it a great honor to serve these commanders.
Of course, there were times when we goofed around too.
“Eri! Are you done with your shift? Ahhh. I have been thinking about you all night!”
There was a group of my coworkers coming out from the training hall, and I ran to the most handsome one. I hugged him and breathed in his familiar scent deeply. I groped his back openly, not caring if others saw us.
He replied with a pout, “Why? Didn’t you tell me that you were so excited to be working with the prince soon?”
His naughty joke made me blush. I said to him quickly, “Oh, come on! It’s not like I can seduce his highness! He is barely a man, and I am happy to admire him from afar. My body, however, belongs to you. You know that! It’s all yours… Haa…”
I grabbed his hand and made him touch my groin. I kissed him, and our tongues danced together when suddenly, someone smacked the back of his head, almost making us bite our tongues.
“Argh! Dammit!”
It was Manar, who was holding a thick, rolled-up paper. She lectured us sternly, “You know you guys are in public, right? Are you trying to film porn or something? Juya, Eriez, you need to stop!”
Manar wore the same uniform as the male soldiers, but her outfit fitted her much better. Her well-fitted shirt and the beautiful cloak accentuated her slim body. Eriez scratched his head and replied, “Oh, come on! We aren’t that bad… Don’t be so mean.”
“You guys are too relaxed. All you can think about is making love with each other, huh? Well, I can fix that. Here is some work you can take home with you. Read over these papers and make a comparison to the current situation. You were supposed to take it before you left today, but you forgot, didn’t you? You just left so quickly.”
“Oh, right.”
Manar pretended to hit Eriez again, but instead, handed him the papers. I shrugged my shoulders and said to her, “Well, but I’m not sure if it matters to you, but I did all of my work, Manar. Oh, I mean, ma’am? Since you will be promoted next quarter, right? Congrats in advance.”
“Whatever.”
Manar waved at us and left. She was extremely popular, and the men who were smitten with her followed her like puppies.
“Commander! Commander! Are you really not planning to get married? If that’s the case, maybe you would be interested in getting a boyfriend? A male concubine, perhaps?! We are all in love with you, and you can have a pick of any of us…”
“We are going to be so devastated when you leave us after your promotion to the headquarter. What will we do? We are going to visit you often, so don’t be a stranger!”
“Shut up, you idiots! I know how you guys would act when you are inside the headquarters! Trembling in front of the El Hwenias… Bunch of cowards!”
“Hahaha!”
“But, Manar! It’s because the El Hwenias are so… Anyway, you better say no if those El Hwenias ask you to become their girlfriend, okay? If you accept their offer, we are all going to kill ourselves…!”
“Don’t be such idiots!”
I watched their interaction with a bitter smile. I said to Eriez, “It must be hard being Manar, having to deal with those idiots. She is such a workaholic too.”
Eriez grabbed my chin and turned my face towards him. He pouted, “Stop looking at other people, cutie! You are mine! Besides, you have no idea how hard it is under her lead. Do you have any idea how much work she makes us do? She is crazy.”
“But she needs to work harder than other people because she needs to support her sick brother, right? Ahh…”
Eriez groped me, and I was helpless against him. I wished we were somewhere more private. Unfortunately, I recently left my military dorm, and it was daylight, which meant there were people everywhere.
In the end, we decided to go to where I was currently staying, which was one of the El Hwenias’ mansions. As soon as we entered the wooded garden, we hid in the dark corner and pleasured each other.
“Haa… Aa… Eri… Aaa… Eri… I love you…”
He undressed me and used his tongue all over my body. I groaned, loving how he touched me.
