Nuns, Christian women priests who make a pact with the religion to live entirely in the service of God. Among them a particular detail of this pact is the vow of chastity, thus imitating the sacrifice of life of the Virgin Mary, while in the male part between priests, monks, bishop and pope it imitates the apostle Paul. A young woman followed this vow by dedicating her life entirely to God and following firm in her devotion, she would never imagine the plans of the god she serves would be very different.
Her old name was lost and she was baptized with her new mother name: Henrietta. A slightly overweight Germanic woman, but with a body that would be coveted even among the nobles if she were not a bride of Christ in the year 1292 at the age of 17, brown eyes, very pale white skin and black hair that is hidden by the everyday attire.
She wears the traditional iconic black cassock of a medieval nun, but Henrietta has a difference from a traditional servant of God: she has strong dark makeup around her eyes and black lipstick. These are signs that she belongs to the Sisterhood of Saint Fortunata*, a sisterhood that is part of the Order of St. Norbert*. Unfortunately, the historical accounts of this sisterhood will be lost over time.
This sisterhood of nuns consisted of nuns responsible for preparing the dead bodies of people, an act that in the future would be known as a thanatopraxie. The nuns of this sisterhood follow the example of the mysterious saint who gives the sisterhood's name, who had many miracles of resuscitation. Because of these funeral activities, these nuns are sort of considered frightening by many of the religion's followers.
What is most impressive is how just one dark nun got special permission from the Vatican to marry a servant of God. Erich Hartmann*, a remarkable knight of the Order of Teutonic Knights of St. Mary* or more abbreviated a Teutonic. His order is very similar to the Templar Order, which was created as a hospital order, but turned into a military order after eight years, after its founding. The symbol of order is a black cross.
To explain this curious marriage it is necessary to get used to the scenario of the whole story. At a church located in the future city of Gdynia in present-day Poland in the Church of St. Michael the Archangel*, which exists today, there was an attack by the remnants of the Prussians who remained from the Great Prussian uprising who were attacking the city where the church was located. A massive attack of 200 Prussians led by the feared pagan Frenchman Damien who was nicknamed "The Antichrist". He was famous for his attacking of cities causing destruction and was called upon by the Prussians to make a resistance movement.
However, the destruction did not take place in the city because of the Teutonics' salvation for that city. A 20-man entourage led by Erich Hartmann, a legendary knight of the order known for excellence in combat and mastery of negotiation. Known as the Scarlet Cleric for wearing a red cloak.
That's how Henrietta saw a miracle from such a small group of knights that managed to liquidate the 200 Prussians, including the "Antichrist" himself. Even inside the church she could see a glimpse of combat, for a few seconds she could even see the angels of the Lord along with the Teutonic. Miracle or not, it is a fact that the knights won. Indirectly, it was the first time Henrietta had seen Erich.
The second moment the nun encountered the knight this time was in a direct manner. That happened when she was treating Damien's body for at least a dignified burial, even though he was an enemy to Christians.
"Mother" said the male voice.
She catches a glimpse of the legendary knight. He is privileged to wear full armor even though he is not currently wearing the armor. He has a white robe with the symbol of a black cross along with a small red cross with a sword underneath (symbol of the Livonian Brothers of the Sword* or Livonian Order) and he has a red cape that sets him apart with the black cross on the side right. The knight's physique is medium height, well-developed muscles, but with a large obese belly, short hair and a shaved beard. A beautiful face, in the nun's discreet opinion (she needs to increase the intensity of her prayers so as not to notice these… 'details' of male beauty). A single fault of the knight might be the blind right eye which might be a battle wound.
"My sir," said the nun respectfully, "what are you doing here?"
"I came to glimpse the body of the church's known enemy. Seeing him now it doesn't even look like he was called Antichrist."
"God have mercy on his soul," she said as she wiped the dead man's face with a cloth, "I hope he's found repentance in the last few minutes of his life."
- I hope so. I had to be his executioner, at least the conditions allowed me to make a clean kill.
Henrietta notices that the deceased's body only has a cut on the neck. It's a lethal cut, but not an immediate one. It's possible that Damien had a few seconds of agony before he passed away. She only wishes he had found the heartfelt repentance to avoid the possible fate his soul awaits.
"It's the first time I've seen anyone from the Sisterhood of Saint Fortunata.
- Sir. I hope my activities are not causing you discomfort.
- Do not worry. I understand the importance of the fellowship's work. In a way, I have a similar role when I need to perform in battle. Sister, I will leave.
— Make yourself comfortable, sir.
Henrietta's last encounter with Erich was brief and quick. That's when she served it at a simple dinner for the Teutonic. It would be the last time she would see the knight, but three days later she is called by the senior nun to the exclusive room.
Henrietta approaches her and kneels in front of her already talking:
— Your blessing mother.
— May God bless you, daughter. Get up, I have a lot to talk about.
The nun stands up and with her hands joined and her head half bowed in a sign of submission to the authority in front of her and she already speaks:
"How can I be of use, Mother?"
— We know that Erich Hartmann received a special mission approved by the Archbishop of Rome to become a nobleman in the Germanic regions, after all the church is interested in having more noble believers in this region.
"Allow me not to be nosy, but is the church going to fund a man's enrichment?
"No, but Mr. Hartmann has a commercial talent that has allowed a considerable increase in Teutonic resources. He seems to resemble the successful administrators of the borough*. And the Archbishop allowed him to develop his own fortune before assuming the title of nobility."
"It's a pity Mr. Hartmann has to step away from the order.
— God's will is often a mystery even to bishops.
"But then Mother. Where do I come in? After all, these matters, with all due respect, are not directed at me."
"For him to be successful in his mission, he needs a helper. The Archbishop of Rome thought it best that he choose a wife from among the nuns. He had chosen you - the revelation of these words takes the nun by surprise, after all she did not expect that there would be a possibility of giving up her vocation as a nun without being expelled or that she would give up. Even more so that this mission was given precisely to a nun of the Sisterhood of Saint Fortunata who many consider as a 'damned nun' for handling corpses.
— My daughter, this is an arduous task, but it will need your choice. Do you intend to accept the burden of being a wife to a future nobleman or carry on with the order? - says the Mother Superior.
"Yes," says Henrietta, accepting Erich as her rightful husband, as well as accepting the mission of being a wife and mother to his children.
She remembers when her parents sent her to the convent wanting her to be a nun, while her brother got all the privileges of heir to the lands as a feudal lord. Henrietta never minded being important to anyone but God. She may not have the same priesthood satisfaction as the others, but it is a world that has been offered to her. God is offering a new opportunity in life, although she does not embrace it with enthusiasm, she accepted it to have a question answered: Why? Why was she chosen?
"I declare you husband and wife," said the priest of the Order of St. Norbert, "you may kiss the bride."
Only with these words did Henrietta know the real weight of her new path. Ironically such mundane desires are now released by her now being part of her husband's flesh. Without any fear, the knight of the order holds her face (which makes the former nun blush) and he captures her lips with his in a soft, warm kiss.
A kiss perhaps unwillingly, but it has an opium-like effect on the former nun. Something softer with still fear of the altar near them, but enough to confirm that they are now one flesh. Even for the simplicity of the kiss it has a devastating effect on her where her heart beats as fast as the frantic beat of a drum and her legs tremble making it difficult for her to stand up.
At first glance Erich may have stolen a Bride of the Lord, but in another perspective he only claimed one of the many brides to be exclusively his bride.
The wedding is private with a maximum of two Teutonics and four nuns, nothing too big for a future nobleman from Germany and the celebration party was a simple dinner in a hotel near the church. During the entire wedding the nun kept her cassock, while the knight kept the clothes he wears in his daily life, but with no armor. Only the couple is eating dinner. In the first moments, the two did not exchange a word until the woman had the initiative:
"My sir, why did you choose me?" said the former nun.
"Just as you accepted me into having you as a wife," the man said, as he sipped a glass of wine.
Henrietta slaps the table in the luxury of a little anger. When she was taking her vows as a nun she tried as much as possible to suppress her emotions. It is not characteristic of a nun, but it was the way she used to have a holiness with God. Now that she no longer has her vows, she feels entitled to express some emotions.
— I don't want to be in this game of rhetoric, my husband. I was aware of the special privilege you got at the Vatican and you could choose any nun as long as she is willing to accept your proposal. Why among all the servants of God did you choose the very one whose order is most badly spoken among the people?"
"Your eyes," Erich said, taking a long swig that drained the cup.
- My eyes?
"Yes, your eyes remind me a lot of mine, especially when I was still just a believer. A cold, blank stare, racked with guilt about the weight of her past.
- My sir. With all due respect, I was just donated by my family for the vow. I don't have a sin that plagues me at this point.
"However, do you feel guilty that things weren't different?"
Without showing any emotion on her face, she is surprised by Hartmann's words. Three days ago she had a glimpse of the man as a warrior and military leader, it is the first time she sees him as someone who has mastered words and who has a keen empathy.
- That's right. I always wondered why my family abandoned me in the convent even though they were feudal lords - she squeezes her hand to repress the old hatred.
- This is common, since the nobility wants to avoid paying wedding dowries. In my case I became a monk initially by my own choice.
— Own choice?
'I was born among the people and lived quietly with my parents in a manor. However, I had an above-average prejudice towards Jews. When I was eleven years old, one day I saw a family of Jews being expelled from the city where I lived. I remember very well taking a stone and I threw it into that family - said the knight in a melancholy voice - I managed to hit their son's head with the stone to the point that I even killed him. To this day I don't forget the scene of the red-haired boy's skull being opened and the blood spilled on the floor.
He fills his wine glass and takes a small sip before speaking again:
- For three months I was haunted by the life I took. I wasn't condemned by others and I was even rewarded for it, but I didn't take any pleasure in it. One day I attempted suicide, but for some reason God had mercy on my soul and sent a Teutonic knight who claimed he had a divine vision to save a life. From that day on, I became a monk to learn to read and write, then I was recruited by the order and grew within the organization.
He takes the cup in one gulp.
'I wanted to become Grand Master, but it seems that God had other plans for my life.
"Thank you for choosing me," Henrietta said.
— Why did you accept?
- I was curious to know the reason for this choice. Being from the sisterhood I've kind of gotten used to being a woman feared by others. I wanted to know why the legendary nobleman nicknamed Scarlet Cleric had chosen one of Christ's darkest Brides. Now I know the answer.
"Are you ready for the next step?"
"I believe it is my duty as a wife." Henrietta rises from her seat and stands.
"Do you want me to give you freedom to change into a more civil outfit?" - Erich gets up and stands next to the former nun.
- I think that since you had chosen me then let our marriage be consummated like this.
- So be it.
Erich hugs and kisses his wife on the lips but this time with more… intensity. Different from the symbolic kiss in front of the altar of the church of St. Michael the Archangel, now it is a real romantic kiss full of passion and desire. Henrietta's heart beats so hard she thinks she's going to die of a heart attack. It's the second kiss and she's having totally different experiences from the first. Her mouth moved and her tongue was captured, mixed with the difficulty of breathing. She really would have fallen to the ground if it weren't for the Teutonic's strong arm support. When the need to breathe becomes necessary, the kiss ends.
"Eric," she said in a moan.
- I like the nickname - he said taking his wife in his lap - Etta sounds good.
- Eric, don't talk like that. I get embarrassed.
- You don't have to be like this, my wife. Are you ready for our honeymoon? - he starts to climb the stairs with the woman in his lap.
"Looks like I can no longer have the privilege of being a virgin like the mother of the Lord," she said with a discreet smile.
- No, but I promise you will have the comfort and authority of Esther* - he pushes the bedroom door and enters the room.
- You promise many things, my husband.
- You will discover in time that I am a man of word - he gently lays his wife on the bed.
- In terms of physical strength, you proved yourself. Do you have any ancestry with Samson?
- I don't know - Eric takes off his cloak - can I see your hair now?
- Are you sure? My hair is not a pretty thing - she said looking to the side.
- If your hair is as beautiful as your eyes, the angels themselves are jealous.
Henrietta blushes and little by little removes the top of her cassock revealing her hair.
- The SIsterhood of Saint Fortunata requires all sisters to have short hair. Aesthetics are not a priority - Henrietta's hair is short to her shoulders and has some uneven strands. It really is an unusual haircut for a woman to have, but these days it becomes quite common, especially for the gothic world.
"I say you are revealing a unique beauty," he said, stepping closer, "it seems that Saint Fortunata has blessed her servants with a dark beauty."
"You're always leaving me speechless.
"I think we can find another use for your mouth."
A third kiss is initiated, only this time the couple are lying down exchanging a kiss that is increasingly thirstier than the last. The masculine hands explore the woman's body on top of the clothes, still not focusing on the most exotic parts, such as the firmness of a warrior who brandishes a sword while possessing the delicacy of a painter in a watercolor. A territory recognition for him to know the potential female silhouette and he is impressed by the treasure hidden by the cassock. A broad silhouette and the right measurements, a little excess flesh, but nothing that takes away the feminine gracefulness looking like an improved version of the Three Graces* that will be done in the future with touches of antiquity and current of the present times.
The female hands are joined as if she were praying giving that impression of a lamb in a slaughterhouse, yet unlike the tragic fate, a moment of ecstatic lust has been reserved for her. In a rational code of duty she can argue that a wife's duty is to satisfy her husband's sexual desire, yet the hidden truth is more that her own long-repressed desires are breaking free from their inner captivity.
Coming out of her passive condition, she grabbed Erich's shirt to force him onto his back. The teutonic knight has had many experiences on the battlefield, but it is the first time that an 'opponent' can easily bring him down. Since he learned to read, he has known several mythological stories about powerful female creatures. Medusa, Mermaid, Lilith, Valkyrie, Goddesses, succubus and among other entities. He never imagined that his wife would have some of that power and that he would be her hostage.
With instinctive excitement she begins to dominate the legendary knight with her kisses as she takes off his shirt. Indeed, the knight has a very high abdomen, but he also has developed muscles that have been honed by constant training and by the battlefield. As a former nun who specialized in treating deceased bodies, she has very keen anatomical knowledge and knows how to explore the male torso like no one else, despite this being the first time she is putting it into practice. The male moans are like blessed flutes in the female ear as she is feasting on the knight's body with her mouth.
Hartmann by the vocation of the order is also oblivious to similar experiences that he is going through, but he has already heard a lot about adventures in brothels of fellow members of the brotherhood when he had a low rank and he had read some books with pornographic content for research purposes. None of them describe an active and hungry woman as is the worshiper of Saint Fortunata, yet due to his warrior instincts, he intends to turn the tables.
So he grabs her by the wrists and turns her to lie on her back so he can take control again. Henrietta is taken by surprise, but lets herself be carried away by the knight. Little by little he takes off her cassock completely along with the former nun's underwear. If paradise were expressed in something material it would certainly be this woman's body. The wide hips showing a preview of her fertility, the breasts that fit entirely in the man's large hands and are capable of nursing twins with ease, skin as soft as the finest tissue, pubic hair in great abundance, and buttocks so huge they could easily cover his head.
Every action has a reaction, a simple statement that centuries later would become law*. With this, Erich repays what he received from his wife exploring the female body with the male mouth. He spends a lot of time tasting her breasts. Henrietta receives the first stimulus from her husband and already moans shamelessly. She has such a blasphemous thought about the Virgin Mary that she has lost one of the best feelings, but she soon berates herself with such a statement.
The breasts are stimulated with massages with the hand and mouth with a voracious animalistic firmness, but with the rationality of someone who protects their loved one. The female body starts to shudder from the effect of the pleasure being offered, while her mouth lets out moans of pleasure now without any shame. All that goes through the former nun's mind is that she needs more. Is she falling into the cardinal sin of lust or greed?
Soon she feels the male right hand exploring her intimacy, which is wet as a cave and hot as an ember. Until suddenly she feels something wet in her private part and when she realizes she is being sucked by her husband. The worst thing is that she never imagined something so… wrong, at least in appearance, but at the same time so… right, so… tasty, so… tempting. She even feels that she is one of the dirtiest sinners, even though she is not practicing any sin. Soon she feels an explosion of fire inside her that makes her scream and manifests itself in a strong orgasm. In a way she marks Erich as her property.
As she catches her breath she has a visualization of the knight removing his pants and underwear thus fully revealing his nudity. The candles in the room along with the light of the full moon and stars reveal the knight's thick legs and erect penis. He is not the first man she has seen naked, after all she has worked with dead male bodies in this state, but it is the first time she has seen the pulsing organ wanting to enter her, just as she is wanting her knight inside her.
The invitation is to remain with her legs open and soon the Teutonic knight with his sword raised explores his wife's virginal path slowly and steadily. The pain comes, but she holds her ground with the host inside her. She repays by scratching his strong back with her nails that mark him again. The knight moans and starts the penetration movements where it doesn't take long for the sensation of pleasure to be total.
In that small religious inn rented entirely to the Teutonic, the couple in question has their delight of love in the middle of the Low Middle Ages, whose lighting consists only of oil lamps and candles. The room filled with the noise of the bumps of meat, the friction of the genitals and the moans and breathes emitted by the couple. It doesn't take long for the apex to take place and for the knight's seed to enter the female body.
In this half-trance the former nun lets her most primitive desires escape her lips. What makes her cover her mouth when she becomes aware. You could say that the origin of this came when she masturbated for the first time before being taken to the convent. Afraid to caress her own genitals, she looked for a…unusual channel to stimulate.
Erich laughs at his wife's manifestation of lust, but he decides to give in, after all he is a body and a flesh with her. But before he can perform an act of... sodomy he must pass through a channel of penance. So he leaves the former nun in a natural animal position so that he can apply due penance.
The slaps on her butt are hard and burning and bring a few tears to her face, but they are strangely exhilarating. Really, butt-slapping is common for discipline, but it's the first time this punishment is really… interesting. Her skin is red from so many slaps and has a strong burning sensation. Her husband uses the oil from the lantern to prepare the way and with his sword penetrates her from the dark hole.
The feeling of pain is as if there is something tearing which makes her regret it momentarily, but the gentleness of the knight encourages her to continue. Soon the act of sodomy causes no pain and the two behave like wolves in heat. Maybe she's found a nice way to keep the couple together when they have enough heirs.
The final orgasm comes with more intensity for both of them and they both fall back tired. Really the pains of the relationship will persist the next day, but it doesn't matter at that moment. A moment of happiness for the couple that unfortunately 150 years from now will be lost in history because of the expulsion of the Teutonic Order from Poland. However happiness needs to be lived and not necessarily remembered. Before falling asleep, Henrietta plays with her husband what his name would be in English. Eric Cartman sounds strangely pronounced.
