Chapter 139 – The Shrine Maiden Princess and the Shrine Maiden Consort

I was guided deep into the Inner Palace of Niosebuk. In a private chamber at its furthest reaches, I came face-to-face with the woman who was Tamagushi’s mother.

She was a serene beauty with lustrous black hair. To someone like me, reincarnated from modern Japan, black hair always leaves an indelible impression of refined, "Yamato-style" beauty. She was quiet and graceful, yet she possessed a visible core of strength that defined her charm.

Given that she had birthed Tamagushi, she was certainly older, yet she looked remarkably youthful—her skin and hair glowed with health. Without prior knowledge, one could easily mistake her for a woman in her early thirties or even late twenties. Standing next to Tamagushi, they looked like beautiful sisters.

"It is an honor to meet you. I am Azusayumi, the Sixth Queen of Niosebuk... though such a title is hollow now."

Contrary to her youthful appearance, her voice sounded weary and drained, like that of an old woman. I realized immediately: her life in the Inner Palace—stolen from her homeland and brought here by force—could not have been anything but a nightmare. She had spent long, bitter days that belied her lovely exterior.

"Now that Imashununda—my husband in name only—has perished, and Gangastra, the most powerful successor, has fallen, the collapse of this wicked nation is certain. I wish to reclaim the name I was forced to cast aside long ago... I am Azusayumi, First Princess of the Holy Kingdom of Shikishima."

"Mother... you have endured your long submission so well...!" Tamagushi embraced her mother’s shoulders comfortingly.

The Holy Kingdom of Shikishima—doubtless the country where she was raised before Niosebuk’s invasion leveled it. The pain of having one’s birthplace crushed, the humiliation, the grief... it was surely beyond my imagination. I couldn't flippantly pretend to understand the feelings she had carried until today.

"I’m Sao. Just a passing villager," I introduced myself with as much politeness as I could muster.

"My, you have a talent for jokes. Is there truly a 'villager' who carries the brilliant radiance of the heavenly mandate upon his brow?"

The way she chuckled playfully was distinctly bewitching. In that moment, I was certain she and Tamagushi were mother and daughter.

"Mother, Sir Sao is a man of pure integrity," Tamagushi added. "He says the fame and power inherited from a wretch like Imashununda is entirely unnecessary. He’d rather throw it away and let the dogs eat it."

"My, how refreshing. To think the titles that man guarded so desperately are nothing but dog food."

Wait, did I actually say that?! My words were clearly being "enhanced," but seeing her tragic smile, I didn't feel like correcting them. Considering what this country had done to her, a little wordplay to lift the weight off her heart was a small price to pay.

"So, you are simply Sao, the villager." 

"Yes..." 

"And yet, the light of destiny dwelling within you is unmistakable. With that brilliance, regardless of earthly titles, fate will surely lead you to become a Great King, peerless through the ages." 

"Uh, thanks...?" 

"Hehe... you don't believe me, do you? But the women of the Shikishima Royal House are all born with the power to measure the heroes and champions of this earth. I was born with the 'Divine Calling' of [Spirit Medium]. I have the utmost confidence in my divine judgment."

Her gaze and tone seemed to see right through my soul. Before her, even Tamagushi looked like a mere child—which, age-wise, she was. Tamagushi sat quietly beside her, uncharacteristically docile.

"And it was precisely because we possessed such power that our country became a target for the Tiger-Wolves."

By "our country," she meant her homeland, the Holy Kingdom of Shikishima. Azusayumi was no longer speaking as a consort of Niosebuk, but as royalty of a fallen sacred land.

"With our family's power to identify heroes, that man wanted to hear me say it: 'You are the Great Hero fit to rule the world.' But to that man, I said this..."

'That man' was undoubtedly the late King of Niosebuk, Imashununda.

"I told him, 'A son carrying your blood will eventually become the King who rules the world.' At those words, he made a twisted expression—I couldn't tell if he was pleased or disgusted."

"If it is a descendant carrying his bloodline, they belong to the lineage of Niosebuk. If his country eventually becomes the hegemon, it's what he wanted—but if he isn't the one to hold the crown, it would lead to a complex reaction," Tamagushi added. Her voice was laced with undisguised contempt for her father.

"He said, 'Then I shall make you bear that child,' and then he ravished me. The result was Tamagushi..."

"Mother, you truly suffered so much for me...!" Daughter’s hand overlapped mother’s. Despite the painful circumstances of the birth, the bond between them was clearly strong.

"However, the Tamagushi who was born did not possess the qualities that man desired. The blood of the Shikishima Royal House produces those who serve heroes, but never the heroes themselves. Tamagushi was blessed with the 'Divine Calling' of [Valkyrie], but its essence remains that of a handmaiden to a hero..."

Still, the King had been satisfied with Tamagushi’s potential. Her 'Divine Calling' boasted peerless performance in direct combat, which was more than enough to please those in Niosebuk who held only the narrowest criteria for value.

"Tamagushi was born and raised in this country of hungry wolves, yet she grew up to be a fine daughter of the Shikishima House. A handmaiden who recognizes a hero and serves him faithfully!"

"It is because you educated me in secret, away from that man's eyes, Mother. Otherwise, I would have become a barbarian like Gangastra, judging everything only by strength."

The story of this mother and daughter’s lonely struggle in this savage land was clear. The misery of a fallen nation, the hardship of living in a foreign land with no home to return to, and the pain of having to surrender one's chastity to a hated enemy just to survive... it all hit me hard. However...

"The Niosebuk that tormented you is surely heading toward ruin," I said. "The King is dead, and his successors will die one by one. I've killed the majority of the beast-like soldiers, and I intend to kill every one I find from here on out."

"How reassuring... Sir Sao, I have a request."

What is it? My lifestyle is to grant the wishes of beautiful women whenever possible.

"I have never once taken pride in being a Queen of Niosebuk. However, even if I was married by force, I feel a responsibility toward this nation." 

"I see, I see." 

"The women living in this Inner Palace are all pitiful souls kidnapped by Niosebuk’s tyranny. Some are still in the depths of grief over their lost homes. Others have already been impregnated and, while they did not wish for the pregnancy, they love their children and are desperately trying to survive."

Outside the walls, there were women in the prisoner camps enduring horrific violation. Whether royalty or commoner, this country was a cruel place for any human to live.

"Sir Sao, you said earlier that the throne and the land of Niosebuk should be fed to the dogs."

I didn't actually say that, but...

"The tainted name of Niosebuk may be fit for that. But what of the people who live here? It is well and good to hate injustice, but a hero who does not love people cannot be called a hero."

"You want me to protect the people in the Inner Palace?"

"I will not be so impudent as to ask for that much, but could you please ensure their safety and help them find new lives? They are to be released from the curse of Niosebuk, which was thought to be eternal. I want their departure to be as full of happiness as possible."

"Does that not apply to you as well?" I asked.

Tamagushi was born from seed forced upon her mother by the King. I didn't know the exact count, but her mother had endured this for at least as long as Tamagushi’s age. But that would end now that I’d executed the King.

"Yes... until now, I couldn't even summon the energy to hope. But if it were possible, I would wish to return to my birthplace and restore the Holy Kingdom of Shikishima."

Surely many felt the same. Many different people had their nations stolen by Niosebuk. It was only natural to want to reclaim what was lost once the demons were gone.

"I understand Mother’s wish. I, too, wish to see the sights of Shikishima she described to me when I was a child."

"You were born and raised in Niosebuk, so you have never seen it. ...The deep, ancient forests, the lakes that shine like mirrors. If I could lay eyes on those sights once more, I would have no regrets."

As she spoke to her daughter, the mother’s smile looked almost like that of an elderly woman facing her final moments. That was how harsh her life here had been. She had used up her life force through sheer endurance; despite her beautiful exterior, she was internally withered.

"Are you sure you have no more regrets?" I asked probingly.

At the question, the mother looked caught off guard. "Regrets...? What could they be? I have given up on so many things that I have forgotten what it is I even desire."

"There may be many things you regret, but for now, there is one regret I can remove right here."

Sex, for example. It shouldn't be allowed for such a beautiful, kind woman to end her life having only been bedded by a piece of trash like the King of Niosebuk.

I stood up, lowered my pants, and let it out. Boing.

"Hya?!"

Facing my fully erect member, the mature lady let out a voice like an innocent maiden.

"This...?! Is a gentleman's part truly this large? The thing I saw in the bedchamber with that man was much smaller...!"

What? Was the King of Niosebuk packing light? For a guy who said "Might is Right," he had a very modest crotch.

"Hehehe... Sir Sao’s cock is magnificent, isn't it, Mother?" Tamagushi let out a seductive laugh. "It feels wonderful to be tormented by this cock. To you, who only knows the meager shortness of the Niosebuk King, this will surely be heavenly pleasure. To end your life without knowing this... that would truly be a regret."

As expected of Tamagushi. Since she’s already accepted my iron rod in every possible way, she’s a great assist in bringing other women down.

"B-but, even if it was by force, I was married to the King...! As a Queen, I cannot be held by anyone else! In fact, I have only ever experienced that man...!"

"But that King is no longer here. Your time of endurance is over. You must accept the joy of being a woman, Mother..." Tamagushi flashed a smile that was far too lewd to show in front of a parent. "I, too, was made into a fine woman by this cock. For our lineage of Priestess Princesses, whose mission is to serve a hero, there is no greater happiness. You must be violated by this cock too, Mother... ❤️❤️"

The air in the room grew thick and turned a deep shade of pink. I heard someone—I’m not sure who—swallow hard.

Having removed her dress, Queen Azusayumi was a stunning erotic sight, the contrast of her black hair against her white skin perfect. Her body was lush and her skin firm; it was hard to believe she had a daughter of that age.

Her rear was wide and fertile. I pushed my hardened rod into the canal deep within her buttocks.

"Ngh! ❤️❤️ Ahhhhhhhhh... ❤️❤️"

The mother let out the voice of a woman accepting a man. It was the moan of joy from a woman born to serve a hero, but who had only ever been bedded by a non-heroic wretch.

"Ngh! ❤️❤️ Ah-ah-ah-ah!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Ahhhhh-hnh!! ❤️❤️ My voice... I can't stop my voice! ❤️❤️ Such a vulgar sound!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️"

"That is the sound a woman should make, Mother. It is the rule that a woman receiving a cock expresses her joy with vulgar sounds! ❤️❤️"

Tamagushi stripped off all her clothes and leaned in close to her mother. Even if she wasn't a direct participant, she had the integrity to go naked if she was attending a sex session.

"I've... I've accepted it! A gentleman's part... into the depths of a woman that should only be for her husband...! ❤️❤️"

"You are so loyal, Mother, keeping your chastity for a piece of shit who did nothing but defile you. But it's alright. You, who were granted the 'Divine Calling' of [Spirit Medium], are a pure Priestess. Therefore, the cock of a living god and hero is the only thing truly fitting for your pussy, isn't it?"

"Ngh! ❤️❤️ Tamagushi... such vulgar words...! ❤️❤️"

"You mean 'cock' ❤️❤️ or 'pussy' ❤️❤️? Sir Sao likes it, so I usually shout them during sex. You should shout them too, Mother!"

"How could I—! Ngh! ❤️❤️ Ahhhhhhhhhh!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️"

The flesh of the older woman’s rear rippled under the thrusts, sounding firm and resonant. This was the canal that had birthed Tamagushi... There was a distinct sense of luxury in violating the pussy that had produced the woman I’d already plowed. The true essence of a Mother-Daughter Sandwich.

It wasn't my first time, but my first ever had been my own family—Big Sis and Mom. I’d felt incredibly sinful having sex with my own mother and half-sister, but this time it was a different flavor of "family affair." The sin grew deeper, yet the pleasure deepened along with it—a hopeless, festering carnal relationship.

Next time: the sex begins in earnest!
