Chapter 682 - Between Light & Light (XX) (2/2)

It could be said that not only the Light Parliament was looking dejected, but they had also suffered huge losses in this clash. It was easily imaginable that the reputation of the Light Parliament in the Country of Light would continue to fall after this piece of news spread among the civilians.

As for Rhode’s performance… Many people were astounded.

Just like how a beauty would often be treated as just a pretty face or flower vase, most of the members in the Anti-Parliament camp had the impression of Rhode as even though he was powerful, he must be someone who would toy around with his dirty schemes. After all, Rhode had beautiful, feminine facial features. Not only that, but he was also slim and tall, and didn’t look anywhere like the strong soldiers. It was no wonder that people would think that Rhode wasn’t as tough as the soldiers, but was more like a Commander ordering his troops from behind the scenes.

But the crowd overturned this view after witnessing the battle. Rhode had displayed his unyielding and uncompromising side. He had no hesitations when facing Soderfast’s attack and continued his assault on Andre. Not only that, but he also used himself as a shield in the process. As a result, he withdrew the sword that had punctured his palm and chest before everyone’s watchful eyes without groaning at all. Even soldiers couldn’t be this tough.

The Anti-Parliament camp also felt a sense of relief because some parts of them had suspected Rhode previously. After all, Rhode was a Human and Humans lacked definite standpoints unlike Angels. This was especially so when Rhode was a smart person and smart people would often prepare retreat routes and not be inflexible and stubborn. But Rhode’s strength and potential were unquestionable at this point. Normally, such a person would be the most indecisive. But now, Rhode’s unyielding performance had proven them wrong. Most of them decided to search for opportunities to build a closer relationship with this young man. After all, it would be beneficial for their developments if they could gain favorable impressions from Rhode since they were all in the Anti-Parliament camp.

Even though Rhode was injured, his wounds weren’t as serious as Andre’s. This was partly thanks to the mysterious bloodline flowing in him that he had such a strong constitution. Moreover, he had used his palm to resist Soderfast’s sword, which altered its path that missed his vital point. Besides, Lize and Lydia were present to provide treatment for him. Shortly after, his injuries were healed and just a few more days of rest and he would recover completely.

It was due to this that he had quickly fallen into a deep sleep after returning to the imperial residence.

But he didn’t realize that a test was waiting for him.

“Hu…”

It was late at night when Rhode opened his eyes. The bedroom was shrouded in complete darkness. He could still feel some stinging pain from his left hand, but this wasn’t the reason why he had woken up.

“Mm… Mm…”

A faint voice resounded in the bedroom. He sensed a comfortable numbness from between his legs. He couldn’t be more familiar with this sensation. But… when he lifted his head and looked down, he was surprised.

“Anne?”

“Grr…”

A nude Anne had laid on her belly between Rhode’s legs and stuck out her little tongue like a kitten licking milk from its bowl. The bright, silver moonlight illuminated her dewy skin and long, blonde hair. She narrowed her eyes and licked gently as though she was in dreamland. Not only that, but Rhode could also see a green radiance emanating from her eyes.

“Grr… Grr…”

Anne let out whimpers of unknown significance before adjusting her head and rubbing with her cheek. The soft sensation and fresh scent from her youthful self assailed his nostrils. Then, Anne appeared seemingly restless. She stared at between Rhode’s leg while swaying her smooth, round hip constantly. At the same time, she let out a deep growl.

“Grr… Grr…”

She widened her little mouth.

“…!”

Almost instinctively, Rhode shrunk to dodge her ambush and Anne snapped her teeth together.

Oh my goodness…

This was the first time Rhode felt so close to death. If it wasn’t for his instincts in sensing that something was amiss, he wouldn’t even dare think of the consequences of being bitten by her. At this moment, Rhode’s back was full of cold sweat. He wasn’t even this frightened when he faced the Duke Fiend.

“Anne?”

“Grr… Grr…”

Anne revealed a resentful look after missing its prey. She looked up at Rhode with pitiful eyes as though a puppy who had its delicious bone taken away by its owner. Then, she slid herself up his body slowly, sticking out her little tongue like a puppy licking its owner from his stomach to chest. She reached the wound on his chest. Even though the injury had fully healed, she continued to lick on it.

Rhode sensed that something was off with her.

It felt as though she had completely turned into a wild animal and showed no signs of answering his questions. But, wait… He was quickly reminded of the words that Gillian had told him. Anne’s strange behavior along with the bloodline in her… In other words, is Anne… in estrus?

“Mm…”

As though responding to Rhode’s thoughts, Anne turned around and laid on the bed on all fours, exposing her most private female part in her lifted hip. Then, she turned back and gazed at Rhode with a look full of desires while swaying her soft, snowy hip. Moisture could be visibly seen under the bright moonlight. It seemed that Anne was all ready.

“…”

Rhode swallowed his saliva at this alluring view. Even though he had countless of intimate encounters with many females, they had all retained the rationality and pride of Humans, no matter how wild they were. However, Anne was totally different. She had as though thrown away all the respect, dignity, and reasonings of Humans and became a wild animal who act in accordance with the instinct of lust and mating.

There was no reason for him to reject the tasty meat that was placed by his mouth and he also wasn’t an eunuch, even though he had nearly joined their ranks. (He was only unsure if Lize and Lydia’s spiritual spells could help him regenerate or re-transplant…)

Rhode smiled at this ridiculous thought. Then, he knelt on the bed and held the young lady’s slender waist. Anne narrowed her eyes delightfully like a kitten who was enjoying the caress from its owner and let out impatient purrs.

Perhaps due to the reason that Anne often exercised, her body was tender, yet compact. The female fragrant exuding from her struck his face like a storm that almost extinguished the remaining flames of reasonings in his head. Rhode sucked in a deep breath and stooped over her. Then, he thrust his hips forward forcefully and broke the layer of tight, necessary barrier.

“…Mmm!”

Anne’s body stiffened instantly. That wasn’t an act of rejection, but a symbol of anticipation. Rhode felt her body tensed up to the immense pain, but she didn’t cower. Instead, she gritted her teeth tightly and let out ambiguous growls in her throat.

Rhode slowed his movements and caressed her body gently. She gradually relaxed and shut her eyes to enjoy the intense pounding. Pain faded while scorching blissfulness erupted between them and engulfed their senses. Rhode picked up speed while she clawed her hands into the sheets, letting out indistinct moans, and lifting her hips higher for his violent thrust.

Their shadows merged completely under the lustrous moonlight while the bed frame squeaked to their momentum. Then, the burst of flames exploded and devoured them entirely.

“… Ah… Ahhh….!”

Anne lifted her head and let out a loud, satisfied moan before collapsing powerlessly. Rhode stooped over and held her warm, soft body while soaking in the pleasant lingering comfort. But he knew that this wasn’t the end.

“Mm… Mm… Mm…”

Anne turned to Rhode as though she was begging for more and even though she spoke nothing about it, he could read her desires through her moist, round eyes.

It’s gonna be a long, long night ahead.
