“How did you know that erotic asphyxiation was my ultimate turn on!” The demon cried out happily.

“Ew! Ew! Ew!” Carmine screamed.

Seeing the situation, a man naked in the room with one of my women, caused a fit of fiery anger to shoot up within me. Carmine had various rips in her dress, which exposed various bits of skin and made her look very vulnerable despite her usually toned physique. The man was acting extremely perverted and was even getting off on her actions, no matter how vicious they were.

My mind seemed to shut off, and all I saw was darkness. I lunged toward the man without even thinking, and my sword took his head without a moment of hesitation.  It was only when his head hit the ground with a thud that I started to think again.

“C-Carmine…” I looked up at her.

She had her mouth opened, and she was a bit surprised. However, these demons were the products of a dungeon. His body would be absorbed by the dungeon soon enough. Killing him wasn’t a big deal. However, I knew, even had it been someone else in a different situation, such as her with her genuine lover, I might have reacted the same way. That was what shook me up the most. As for Carmine, it must have been the extreme look of emotion on my face that caused her to choke up.

“D-Deek?”

I stepped forward and grabbed her, and before I even thought about it, I was kissing her, my tongue gently exploring her mouth as I held her body against mine. It had been days since I had slept near any of my women, and it was a feeling I hadn’t even realized I missed until I felt her warm body in my arms. She trembled slightly as I held her, but she didn’t fight at all as I held her body close.

When I pulled away, I had many things I wanted to tell her. I wanted to tell her that I was sorry I hadn’t done anything sooner. I was busy being indecisive while she was nearly raped. I wanted to say that I missed her. I wanted to say that she was important. Instead, my hand reached around and grabbed her hair tightly, and I looked at her with a dark expression.

“You’re my woman, and if any other man ever touches you, I’ll kill him!”

Those were not the words I had expected to say at all. The only words that were more startling than my own were Carmines. She might have grown indignant or upset. She could have complained or shot me a glare. Instead, she lowered her head shyly, looking as meek as she could be.

“Y-yes… Master. I’m yours.”

Somehow, those words were exactly what I needed to settle me. I let go of her hair. She didn’t look upset. Instead, she reached out and grabbed my shirt, which had come out a bit and was sticking out of my armor. She looked extremely cute and alluring when she acted shy like this. I wondered what I had done that caused her to become so tame. When Miki wasn’t acting mischievous, she might have acted this way, but Carmine was always the knight who acted like a princess. Now she appeared to be the princess, and I was the knight!
