Kirito’s gaze was glued to Mika’s charming face, the noble beauty and authority of the kingdom’s ruler further stimulating the instinct of conquest within him. Though a craving difficult to restrain surged deep inside his heart, Kirito still maintained the calmness and chilling cold of an experienced assassin.
He abruptly reached out, forcefully wrapping his arms around Mika’s slender waist, pulling her body closer to his own.
"Our transaction is very simple," Kirito spoke in a muffled, thick tone, killing intent mixed with teasing exhaled right beside her ear, "you will completely submit beneath my body, while I will use my strength and wits to assist you in sweeping away the enemies, stepping rightfully and proudly onto the sole ruling throne. What do you think of this deal?"
Empress Mika paused slightly, surprised by the exceedingly bold harassment and arrogant proposal of the assassin. Yet, having endured fierce political turmoil, she quickly suppressed her anger, maintaining the calm demeanor of a monarch.
Kirito curved his lips into an evil smirk, lowering his head close to her face, not hesitating to utter teasing words:
"I am truly quite curious... I wonder what wonderful sensation it will bring to enjoy and fuck a noble, powerful empress in bed?"
Mika clenched her teeth tightly, her chest heaving out of anger, but she clearly understood her current situation. Swallowing her humiliation, she hissed out each word from her throat:
"Bastard... I... I agree to the deal with you."
Kirito released his grip, standing up straight and letting out a mocking laugh:
"As expected of an empress, you are very adaptable and smart."
Mika lifted her phoenix eyes filled with lingering resentment to stare straight at him, dropping a probing question:
"You came here defying danger, meddling in this war... was it all just to do that depraved deed with me?"
Kirito shrugged, shaking his head casually:
"Who can foresee that in advance? But I’m telling you the truth, if you had dared to refuse just now, your head would have parted from your neck by now."
Saying that, Kirito gave Mika no time to react. Quick as lightning, he grabbed her jaw, squeezing hard to force Mika to open her mouth, then brutally shoved a bizarrely shaped, perfectly round pill resembling a silkworm cocoon right into it. He pinched her mouth shut, forcing her to swallow it straight down her throat.
"Uhm...! You... what on earth did you just feed me?" Mika choked violently, her eyes widening in panic as she stared at him.
Kirito wore a freezing smile at that moment, looking precisely like a vicious demon stepping straight out of hell:
"That is the egg of a special venomous worm. When it crawls deep into your belly, it will bite and devour all your internal organs if you dare to double-cross me, causing you excruciating, agonizing pain worse than death."
The empress’s eyes widened massively out of terror, her complexion turning visibly pale. A ruler’s majesty completely disintegrated before the assassin’s ruthless threat.
"You... be reasonable with your cruelty! Just how far do you want to push me?" Mika shrieked in panic.
Kirito calmly retrieved a small wooden box the size of his palm, holding it up before her face:
"Don’t worry too much. This is the antidote box. Once every six months, you must take a pill to suppress it, putting that worm into a dormant state where it won’t bite."
By this point, Mika truly grasped the terrifying nature of a real Shinobi — they were not only skilled at assassination, but also possessed cruel methods so extreme that people were forced into absolute submission without daring to harbor any wicked intentions.
"Therefore, it’s best to obediently listen to me, and don’t be foolish enough to pull tricks behind my back," Kirito smirked faintly.
Mika bit her lip until it bled, her hands clenched into fists out of extreme resentment, but the immediate landscape did not permit her any other choice:
"Fine... I have memorized what you said."
Though filled with inner fury, a part of Mika’s pragmatic reasoning clearly recognized: a Shinobi capable of single-handedly breaking through tens of thousands of sturdy defensive layers to step right into her bedroom definitely possessed extraordinary strength. If she had the help of a monster like Kirito, the kingdom’s throne would certainly rest neatly in the palm of her hand.
Mika quickly took a few deep breaths to recover the calmness inherent to a leader:
"Then... later on when I need to contact you to discuss major affairs, how should I go about it?"
Kirito shrugged indifferently.
"That’s simple. When I leave here, I will establish a communication channel using carrier pigeons to your place."
The empress nodded resolutely: "Very well, I understand."
Having finalized all agreements, Kirito did not hesitate for another second. He strode up to the empress, reaching out to untie his belt and pull down his garments, fully exposing his massive, long, rosy penis standing proudly and erect before her.
"The deal is done, so before I leave, you should also show your submission by helping me relieve myself a little bit, shouldn’t you?" Kirito lowered his voice, his gaze brimming with teasing and lust.
Mika startled upon laying her eyes directly on the oversized "weapon" threateningly positioned before her. Her heart raced erratically, but the empress’s gaze suddenly flashed with the resolute and proud glint of a superior bowing her head in surrender.
"Fine... I will do it, don’t worry," Mika rasped out.
She stood up, reaching for the water cup placed beside the table, opening the medicine box Kirito had just handed her to retrieve a pill and swallow it immediately as a pledge of commitment.
Afterward, Mika slowly dropped down onto the edge of the bed, lifting her phoenix-shaped eyes filled with probing curiosity to look up at Kirito’s face, then slowly lowering her gaze down to the massive organ quivering right within reach.
"Seeing that your penis is still pink and full of vitality... you must be extremely young, aren’t you, young assassin?"
Mika muttered, then stretched out her fair, soft hand, taking full initiative to grasp firmly onto the hot shaft of the organ and stroke it gently. The sensation of smooth, sleek skin from the empress’s hand rubbing against the shaft made Kirito shiver slightly with intense ecstasy.
The sound of rushing footsteps accompanied by the shouting of the royal guard troops suddenly echoed loudly right outside the door, drawing closer step by step toward the bedroom area. The critical crisis did not permit them to linger for even half a moment longer.
Empress Mika let out a soft chuckle, her gaze full of teasing and regret looking up at the youth:
"It seems time is not on our side, so we’ll just have to leave it for another occasion, young man."
Saying that, she quickly reached for a small makeup powder box placed in the cabinet corner. Right beside the box corner was a specialized rouge paper used to adorn the lips by pressing it directly against the paper surface. Mika pulled out that brilliantly red paper, pressed it gently against her soft lips, and pursed them. The bright red lipstick layer instantly transferred, making her lips all the more scarlet, seductive, and alluring.
Before Kirito could react, Mika lowered her head, planting a deep, sweet kiss right onto the glans of the organ, leaving a striking bright red lipstick mark contrasting against the hot skin.
"Farewell, my young ally," Mika whispered.
Realizing time was up, Kirito did not hesitate for another single second. He hastily retrieved his garments, springing his body to leap through the shattered window frame, gripping tightly onto stone ledges before agilely climbing up onto the rooftop, blending into the dark night to leave the palace amidst the enemy’s astonishment.
