Chapter 5

“Ughhh. ”

Varat Baal clenched his teeth. When he thrust his cock in, he was amazed by the tightness of her vagina. Having already lost all rationality, he felt as though he would lose control of himself if were to ever let his guard down, even for a moment.

Jinah’s insides felt too good.

Varat hugged her body tightly as she moaned tearfully. She was unfamiliar with the pleasure of sexual intercourse and her helpless expression was a lovable sight. He wanted to possess the woman who was writhing beneath his body more and more.

He wasn’t satisfied even after thrusting his cock all the way to the root, and a deep thirst welled up within him.

Blood.

He was insanely thirsty. Whenever Jinah trembled with pleasure, her pale neck stretched taut. Her soft figure and pounding heartbeat consumed Varat’s patience.

The back of her neck smelled extremely enticing.

“Va…. Ung… Varat…..! Heuk!”

Jinah called his name frantically. He could feel that her climax was not far away.

Jinah’s body kept shivering.

“Oh my god! Ahhhh!”

Jinah’s vision turned white. It was the first time she had climaxed. Her body tensed and her fleshy walls quivered as they clamped onto Varat’s cock.

“Nghh.”

In an instant, Varat sank his sharp teeth into Jinah’s neck. Hot blood flowed into his mouth.

The blood he drank during their intercourse was somewhat different from usual. In addition to the blood, a richer and much more profound energy belonging to the saintess flowed into his body, along with a foreign energy that was completely different from that of the saintess’ energy.

“Haaa… haaa…”

Jinah shut her eyes tight and breathed heavily. Even now that it had ended, she was still unable to process what they had done. Varat licked Jinah’s neck.

Blood… I should be mad at him but…

Faced with such a situation, she should have gotten angry with him and confronted him about why he had consumed someone’s blood without their permission. However, she couldn’t even lift a finger, let alone get angry. Her eyes dimmed, just like a light bulb that had fizzled out due to excessive brightness.

Later… definitely…

Jinah fell into a deep sleep as if she was being sucked in.

* * *

Jinah’s eyes squinted at the bright sunlight entering through the window.

“Mmm….”

It had been a while since she’d slept without any pain or nightmares. She wanted to sink back into the soft embrace of sleep that was as warm and cozy as a cocoon of downy feathers, but she heard a strange sound.

Squeak. Thump. Thump.

What’s that sound?

Jinah scrunched up her eyes.In the end, she found the noises too annoying, so she pulled down her blanket and caught a glimpse of red bloodstains.

“Gahh.”

In an instant, memories of the previous night flashed through her mind like a panorama.

“I must’ve been out of my mind..”

Jinah got up quickly and held her head in her hands. 1

This memory. It’s a lie right? Please tell me it’s a lie… please…..

Even so, the memories didn’t disappear.

Gwarwarwarwa .

She heard a strange noise outside.

Jinah had been living alone in this mansion without any maids, and she had just brought Varat back, so the noise must have been made by Varat.

What is he doing? Arghh, I don’t want to see him right now.

If possible, she didn’t want to see him again for the rest of her life. It would have been feasible if she were to just lock herself up in this room, but she was worried about what Varat was doing to be making such noises. Besides, she had something she wanted to ask him.

Jinah caressed her stomach. She could feel the scar against her fingertips.

“ Huu, hwahh, huu, mmm.”

Jinah took a deep breath and stepped out of her bed. She felt her thigh and waist throb as she moved. Her genitals felt different from usual and her face flushed red.

At that moment, the door opened and Varat came inside.

“Wu-wah!” Jinah was so surprised that she lost her balance and fell forward.

“Ungh. Be careful.” Varat caught Jinah and then carried her gently before setting her down on the bed.

“You should have called me when you woke up. How’s your body?” He asked as he tucked her hair behind her ears.

Jinah averted her gaze. “….. Why is it so noisy outside?”

She changed the subject. She felt uncomfortable seeing him act so affectionately. She wouldn’t have felt this way if it was some other man, but it was Varat Baal , a man who was feared and referred to as a monster by his own people. The level of terror and tension always changed whenever he joined the battle.

Considering that image, Varat’s answer was quite unexpected.

“Cleaning. How could you live in such an eerie house?

“I just do…….”

Squeak.

Jinah flinched at the sudden sound.

“What’s that sound? Is there anybody here besides us?”

What on earth is he doing in my living room to make such sounds while cleaning?

“I want to go out.”

“It’s dusty out there.”

“It’s okay.”

“Alright.” Varat lifted Jinah up in a princess hug. Jinah reflexively grabbed the hem of his shirt.

“ Inform me before you lift me. That startled me.”

“Ok ok, next time I will tell you first and then carry you.” Varat smiled mischievously and winked at her. The cheesy expression was quite refreshing to see and suited him.

His arms never quivered when he carried Jinah. Even though her body was in the air, she felt a sense of security. Her skinny frame relaxed against his broad and warm chest.

* * *

As they passed through the small hallway leading to the living room, Jinah forgot what she wanted to say. It was such an unexpected situation. He had been cleaning just as he said he was. It had been noisy because all the curtains that were blowing up a cloud of dust were being pulled down and her furniture was being moved around.

However, the problem was that the people cleaning her living room were not normal beings.

“Those are… your underlings… right?”

“Mm.”

Jinah held her forehead at the absurd situation.

All the shadows belonged to the Ghost Army which was managed by Varat Baal. They would pop out of the shadows during battle and mechanically slaughter the allied forces.

They were already dead, so they could not be killed again, and neither swords nor magic worked on them. Their unique gloomy aura was enough to send the allies into a panic just by appearing on the battlefield.

They were a notorious army among the allied forces that, if encountered, would lead to unconditional death.

They were now cleaning the mansion in frilly maid outfits. Even so, they were doing their best, diligently and passionately!

“Why are they wearing maid outfits?… Did you order…. them to do this? Well, yeah, since they’re your shadows, who else can command them?”

“Miss Saintess, if you need anything, you can order them. I have told them to listen to your orders carefully.”

“No… I don’t want to do that…”

How had it come to this situation? It was just yesterday that she had entrusted herself to the man, without knowing whether he would kill her or spare her life. And now, his notorious minions were cleaning her house.

I would rather he cause a mess in my house instead.

Jinah closed her eyes and rubbed her forehead.

* * *

Varat placed Jinah down in the dining room. As soon as she sat down, food appeared as if on command. Hot chicken soup, bread and an omelette came out. “Why is the menu so plain….?”

“It’s a little simple, but I couldn’t help it since there aren’t many ingredients at home. What have you been eating all this time?”

“Some potions and hardtack …..” 2

“No wonder the kitchen cupboard only had dried and broken biscuits inside.”

“Where did you get the ingredients for these?”

“I got it from a couple who is in charge of the affairs of the mountain behind us. They seem like good people.”

“Ah…..” Jinah still couldn’t get used to Varat talking about everyday topics.

Is this really…Varat Baal…? Did I mistake another demon for him… No, I don’t think so. He said he is Varat Baal with his own mouth.

“Now, aah.”

Jinah opened her mouth. The savory taste of the butter spread in her mouth as she felt the soft texture of the omelette.

Now… Varat Baal… is feeding me…?

Jinah’s eyes quivered as she chewed the eggs mechanically. He brought another spoonful of omelette to her mouth again.

What’s this? What on earth is happening? What is this situation right now?

Jinah tensed as she finished the omelette. Varat smiled and watched her.

This is like that. Kind of like those dramas where the couple have a sexy night together and the male lead proceeds to make breakfast the next day while performing a scene of cringy, goosebump-inducing pda . Oh my! Are Varat Baal and I a couple now?

Jinah glanced at Varat. Her brain was unable to process the situation. Wasn’t it ridiculous that she, a saintess, and Varat, the commander-in-chief of the Demon army, were doing this less than a day after they had met?

That’s right, this could be… that maybe he is trying to poison me by feeding me. I’m not using my hands to eat, so he is trying to assassinate me… If so, then I can’t eat it.

Jinah closed her lips tightly.

Despite her refusal, Varat did not care. “You should eat your vegetables too. If you keep being picky with your food, you will die.” Then, he held the fork forward.

“No, it’s not because I don’t want to eat vegetables… mmph.”

“Yeah, eat well. Good girl.”

She wanted to shout, ‘No, that’s not it!’ but she missed the timing to speak because of the vegetables in her mouth. Jinah finished chewing the food. “What are you doing? Why are you taking care of my meals?”

“It is my duty as the paramour of the owner of the house to take care of this house and its members.”

Jinah rubbed her arms. She had goosebumps.

“You don’t have a spouse or a butler. So I will act as the paramour.”

“…..paramour….?”

What nonsense was he spewing?

“Don’t tell me, you’re just thinking of bringing back a demon like me just to make me your bedwarmer?”

“A bedwarmer!? There’s no way I would do that! I didn’t bring you back to use you for that. Just… I just sacrificed myself for the peace and safety of the world.”

Mwah

Varat’s lips briefly touched Jinah’s lips before moving away. Jinah’s eyes widened.

What is it now?

Jinah’s mind couldn’t process his actions.

Mwah mwah .

Once again, Varat kissed her lips before moving back. It was a light but affectionate kiss. Jinah slumped on top of the table and sighed.

“What kind of guy is this?”

They hadn’t even had a proper talk, yet she was drained of all her energy. The situation was so bizarre that her mind was all over the place.

Am I the only one who finds this situation strange?

Jinah sobbed.

Like this: 군용(gun-yong) =military, 비스킷(biseukis)=biscuit. Hardtacks are like those square dry biscuits or crackers that are long lasting and use as substance to perishable food.
