In a small village far north of Amara, lies two of the best smiths of this world. Owen and Cattleya. Owen was once the Dragon Slayer and Cattleya was once Giant Killer, but now the two have retire to live together in this village and settle down to manage the "Cattleya Weapon's Shop". While they are done adventuring and slaying monsters with incredible weapons, they still make excellent weapons and sell at a good price to those who come through here.

Owen was in the basement, hammering away on the anvil for the sword he was making. Once he was done, he picks up the end of the weapon and drops the front of it into the nearby bucket of water to cool itself down for a couple of seconds, then bring it back to join the others. His wife, Cattleya was nearby and watches him doing his job as a blacksmith, while also enjoying the sight of her husband working up a sweat to make a handful of these weapons in a few hours. While Owen was wearing a proper leather apron and leather pants, but left his upper body expose, and Cattleya decide to wear only a leather apron and nothing else underneath it to catch his attention.

After the Queen's Blade, Cattleya has long been craving for Owen, and to be alone with him at last. Her true thirst for him came when they came back from the Swamp Lands.

Before Alaric came to this part of the world, Cattleya and Owen plan to invade the Swamp Lands together and face off against the Swamp Witch. However, this plan backfires when they found themselves facing off against many monsters and creatures that hide within the hotsprings. As the two engage together and slay many foes in front of them, Cattleya would fall into a trap that was made by Melona. She pretend to be Rana, who stands in one of the hotsprings and brought Cattleya close enough to have tentacles to erupt from the waters and latch themselves against her body. When Owen came to rescue her, he found Cattleya in the water with these tentacles all across her body, where they invade the inside of her suit, and one would invade her mouth.

Cattleya was left surprise to find it did not disgust her. The part of her desire more of this, which is why her fingers would move to seek the tentacles. Its cloudy liquid had discharge over her body, containing a poison that could paralyse the body and leave the victim completely vulnerable.

Melona reverts back to her original self and stands over to see the display that Cattleya was doing. "Look how depraved you become." She replies to her, then turns around to confront Owen. She was cut down the middle and collapse into a pile of liquid.

"Cattleya!" Owen worries and rushes into the water to save his wife. He would find the base of the creature underneath her, so he drives the sword down between her thighs to kills it instantly with his sword.

The quest ends here when Owen thought it was too dangerous to continue this by himself. After removing the tentacles off of her body, he carries his wife in his arms and left the scene to return to the borders of the Swamp Lands. Melona would regenerate, but she refuse to go after them because she has no orders to go after them anyway.

While Cattleya was still feeling the effects of what the tentacles did to her, Owen set out to find any leads of finding an antidote to cure this problem. This was no life threatening situation, but Owen kept trying, and returns with an antidote to help remove the effects that still remain inside her body. She was finally clean, then proceeds to use her husband as a means to forget about what transpire in the Swamp Lands. He did not complain, but the problem was trying to keep things quiet and hide this from Rana.

After Owen was done cooling off the blade, he looks towards Cattleya to see her still standing there with her hands behind her back and waiting for her husband to notice what she was wearing. He smiles and decides to call it a break from work, and turn his next challenge towards Cattleya. He drops his leather apron to the floor, he lends his right hand out for her to touch with her left hand and press them together, while using his right arm to get behind her to pull her closer against him. The two gaze at each other for a while until finally the two embrace each other with a kiss and continues kissing each other passionately.

Things already start to escalate much faster when Cattleya loses the apron to leave her completely naked, then proceeds to bend over to lean her breasts against his anvil and have Owen get the perfect view from the back. He removes his leather pants, grabs her ass tightly and thrust his cock deep inside her so quick to get her gasping with pleasure over it. She held onto the sides of the anvil and continues crying for more pleasure from Owen. He would give her what she wants and goes rough with her until he reach his climax. He remain keeping his cock inside of her to load enough cum inside her to satisfy her, but would desire more from him.

Cattleya refuse to take a break, and after Owen pulls back, Cattleya turns around and drops to her knees to use her mouth to help clean the tip of his cock and keep it harder for another round. She keeps one hand against the end of it, while continuing to use her mouth and tongue on the sides to tease him, then lowers her hand down against her thigh when proceeding to bring his cock further in her mouth. She could only stop at halfway, so she proceeds to move her head back and forth, while Owen remain standing tall with his hands against his waist and watches his wife continue for another round. But before she could reach her limit, Cattleya chose to not have him release in her mouth, instead she chooses to fall back on the floor, face her body to the side and have him penetrate her again. He would drop down on his knees, grabs her leg to keep it in the air to lean it against his body and straight up sends his cock deep inside to get her crying out in both pain and pleasure over it. She would remain continue enjoying this rough ride her husband was giving her. Owen continues pounding his cock against her, while holding her down with his right hand against the back of her neck and the other hand holding onto her leg that remain pressing against him. He took his time with her to go as slow as he can to avoid any quick ejaculations, but would eventually go much faster on her to get her moaning more, then finally reach his climax and moans over the feel of his cock releasing much inside of her again.

Things did not stop here, as this continues again as soon as the both of them catch their breath. Owen waits for several seconds, then brings her leg he had against his chest to bring it to the side to see the front of Cattleya. He keeps both hands holding against her thighs to keep legs spreading, then continues with another round by penetrating her pussy with his still erect penis that still desires to have more action with Cattleya. She could do nothing but lay back and watch her husband ravish her again on the floor in the room, while also sweating so much to cause her to breathe heavily over this.

As things continue to escalate between the two, somewhere else, their son, Rana appears as a nineteen year old boy who has long been waiting for a journey of his own. Ever since he was sixteen, Rana had the chance to finally train with his father Owen in both swordsmanship and the use of the spear, while Cattleya was against the idea of her son to train at that age. Owen did promise to teach him and made sure his son was safe when they train together outside the village. Rana would eventually be fond of the spear and proceeds to train with the spear outside, and would leave his room during the middle of the night to train. Sometimes, Rana has a chance to train with someone else that comes to visit the village from time to time to see him. Her name is Airi, the Infernal Temptress.

Airi is a wraith and once a true follower to the Swamp Witch. She enjoys sucking life away from her victims in order to stay alive in this world and has always come here in secret to see Rana. It was him that help change Airi into what she is today with a mind of her own and a free will to resist the Swamp Witch. This happen when Rana was all alone when he lost his mother in the Queen's Blade, so Airi had to take care of him for a time until she too had to leave when she fail to suck more energy from people.

Airi was standing on top of a thick branch and facing outwards towards the locations where the Swamp Lands are. She felt the disturbance and the missing power of the Swamp Witch, which surprises her when someone actually slain her in battle.

"I'm free from her…." Airi mutters in silent and smiles when looking away "Good riddance." Then proceeds to fly through the air and fly over the village to find her target.

She round Rana outside his house with his spear. He was spinning that spear around so quickly and shown to be quite fast at handling this spear. Rana is almost the same size as Airi and has develop a slight muscular physique, but is not as close as Alaric or Owen but he is getting there. Once he is done twirling that spear around with one hand in the middle of it, he stops and turns around to find Airi sitting on the roof and looking down at him.

"Airi…" Rana mutters her name and smiles of delight to see her again. When she flies down to the ground, he runs closer to her and surprises her with a hug. "So good to see you again."

Airi blushes a little and tries to take a few steps back from him. She coughs once and replies "Rana."

Rana finally let's go of her and looks back at her with a slight red face just like Airi. He asks "H-How have you been? It's been weeks."

"I had things to do, but now I don't have any more duties to attend to."

"Really? So, will you be staying here for the night?"

"Perhaps." Airi looks back towards the house and asks "Are your parents asleep?"

"No. I know my father is busy working and mother said she's going to keep him company."

"Hmmm, the two of them will probably be down there for a while longer."

"What?"

Airi looks back to Rana "Never mind. Let's see how well your training is going." She then takes a few steps back from Rana and takes out her scythe with her right hand against the middle of it and keeping it behind her.

Rana smiles at this challenge and performs an offensive staff at the ready. However, things change when Rana start to get much red on the face when seeing Airi was beginning to lose her maid outfit. It is her power to feed souls is enough to keep her here, but if she refuse this deal then she would begin to lose her clothes and eventually herself. While her clothes are fading, Rana's face went red and could not help himself when staring down at her revealing body to see her wearing white underwear. Though, this was not the first time he saw her naked.

"Y-Y-Your clothes…." Rana responds and Airi looks down to gasp at the sight of her missing clothes, then looks embarrass to see Rana staring at her.

Airi presses her arms against her chest and looks back at Rana with anger "S-Stop staring at me like that."

"Oh, uhm… I'm sorry." Rana quickly turns around to have his back facing her.

Airi sighs and remain blushing. Her heart starts beating much faster when approaching Rana. She gets close enough to grab Rana's head to bring him back towards her to see her standing in front of him with both hands against the sides of his face. She closes her eyes when leaning her face close enough to actually kiss Rana, and he closes his eyes a second after contact. While the two remain like this for a while, Airi's clothes would return on her body and would fully restore herself in full power. For several seconds the two remain kissing until Airi is the one to break this and lean back from Rana. Rana would lean closer to continue to kiss her for a few more seconds, but Airi was forceful to push Rana away from her and look away in sadness on her face. He was beginning to feel the effects from this, as he starts feeling lightheaded and close of falling on both knees.

"I'm sorry…" Airi replies and turns away from Rana.

"Hey…" Rana falls forward towards Airi, forced her to quickly catch him in his arms, but left his head pressing against her chest.

"I must've taken too much from you." Airi says to him, while he remain leaning against her with his eyes close. "I'm sorry."

Elsewhere, Leina Annelotte and Fenrir set up camp together in the forest and surround the campfire. Fenrir just came back from hunting, then helps cook the food he brought and sits in front of them without saying much of a word to them. Nobody has said much after what happen in the Swamp Lands, but they can still feel the scars.

"My mother…." Annelotte speaks first when staring back at the fire, then turns her head towards Leina sitting next to her. "It was her…"

"She… Mentioned you to be her daughter, but I didn't think it was possible…" Leina replies

"She's not really… Well… When I… You… Captured me and brought me to her, she told me she summoned my mother from the dark world. Her name is Werbellia. She stole my mother and turned her into… That."

"She is… a monster." Fenrir replies and the two look towards him.

"Your voice." Leina asks him "How long have you been by her side?"

Fenrir hesitates to respond to that and eventually said "Years."

"And how long have you been in that wolf form?" Annelotte asks

"Years…"

"So that's why you can't speak." Leina replies "You haven't used your real voice in ages."

"She has brought so much pain in this world." Annelotte replies "But now she's destroyed, and my mother could finally be free. I always wondered about my parents, and now I found out my mother was only trying to protect me from her."

"So what will you do now?" Leina asks her

"I wish to return to the capital. My watch over those lands are behind me. And, I've discovered I'm not alone."

"What do you mean?"

"The Swamp Witch told me something." Annelotte smiles a little when saying this "I actually have a sister. She's out there in the capital. I want to see her."

"Do you believe her?" Leina asks

"She said she plan to search for my sister when our job against the other warriors are done. She wanted us both together to help her achieve her goals."

"Then we'll help you. We're all going to the capital together, right?"

"Yes."

"But first things first. I know a place where we could repair our armour and weapons. I just hope they're still there."

When the sun rises, Rana wakes up to find himself in his bed with his clothes still on. He fails to remember what happen last night with Airi, but memories would return to him the moment he sees her again for breakfast. He came out of his room to find Airi in the kitchen with Cattleya, both making breakfast for everyone, so he comes to sit down next to Owen and remain watching them.

After breakfast and a short relaxation, Cattleya remain by the counter to open the shop, while Owen proceeds to finish where he left off by finishing off the last designs of the swords, and Rana use this time to go outside with Airi.

"You seem well energised today." Airi replies

"I had a good night's rest. What about you?"

"Me?"

"You brought me to bed, didn't you?"

". . . ." Airi keeps her face forward and remain silent through this walk.

"I'm not mad at you, Airi. And you can never hurt me." Rana replies and moves his right hand to hold against her left hand.

Airi looks down at his hand with sadden expression and replies "We shouldn't be doing this to you…."

"I know." Rana holds her hand tighter and replies with a smile towards her "But you're the only one I want."

". . . ." Airi looks away and sighs, while also blushing from that affection. She would soon stop and turn her attention towards the three new visitors coming to town. Leina, Annelotte and Fenrir arrive.

The moment they see each other, Fenrir stops first when recognising Airi and her scent. Both Annelotte and Leina stops to look back at him, while he remain staring towards Airi with a serious look on his face.

"Her…." Fenrir mutters when continuing to stare out towards Airi. He remembers a flashback of the time when Airi, Menace and Melona standing together for the first time towards the Swamp Witch. This was the time when the Swamp Witch chose them to be her servants and spies for the Queen's Blade.

And so without any hesitation, Fenrir pulls Leina's sword out of her sheath and straight up charges towards her with the urge to kill. Airi quickly summons her scythe to defend herself, but Rana steps in front of her and blocks the attack with the base of his spear. After blocking the attack, Fenrir keeps one hand to the handle and uses his left hand to land a hard blow against Rana's chest to bring him down to his knees. Airi comes in with a swing of her scythe the moment Rana drops to the ground and swings horizontally through the air over Rana's head to surprise Fenrir and force him back. Rana looks up at Fenrir, and while feeling the pain from his punch, he still interferes by lifting his spear up to punch the end of it through Fenrir's chest. Angered and pain over the pain from that spear, Fenrir got angrier and was very close of transforming into a werewolf in front of everyone.

"Wait! Everyone, stop!" Leina calls out and rushes over to stop them.

Airi helps Rana back up and takes a couple of steps away from them the moment they came back together. Airi asks Rana "You alright?"

"Yeah…"

Leina stands next to Fenrir and looks over at the injury he took to the chest. "You're hurt…"

Fenrir just growls and remain staring towards Airi. Leina would have to stand in front of him to force him to stare at her, while Annelotte stands in front of the two to confront the situation.

"I know who you are." Annelotte replies "You're a servant of the Swamp Witch."

"It's not like that." Airi replies "And why isn't that man in chains? What's he doing here?"

"The Swamp Witch is dead."

". . . ." Airi was a little surprise, but she knew something was happening in the Swamp Lands and would believe she is telling the truth.

And so the fight did not continue after that, and everyone returns to the house to meet with Cattleya. Leina and Annelotte explain the situation to everyone at the front of the shop on what has been happening lately and help them understand how the Swamp Witch was slain.

"The King's Blade?!" Cattleya asks with astound to hear the name from Leina "It's real?"

"Yes."

"So the legend really is true." Owen replies "I've heard so many tales of that ancient blade and said to have been lost beyond this land. To think that someone has actually found the blade and mastered its power to defeat the Swamp Witch."

"He's on his way to the capital city. He'll be passing through the city of Amara."

"That's Menace's problem now." Airi replies and remain standing at a distance towards the others and keeping Rana beside her too.

Fenrir was sitting down and sighing over Leina tending to his wounds by bandages and water.

"Who is this man that carries the sword?" Owen asks

"We don't know much about him because I wanted to dismiss ourselves from his party. His name is Alaric."

"Probably one of those warrior tribes on the other continent."

Annelotte speaks to Cattleya "Would you mind assisting us in repairing our weapons and armour for our journey? We plan to move west."

"Of course." Cattleya responds "I'll be sure to repair them like they're brand new from the smith."

"Although…. We don't really have any money to pay for repairs…" Leina replies

"Nonsense! After everything you've done, think of this as a reward for actually defeating the Swamp Witch. Right, husband?"

"Of course. I still have work to do with the other projects, so you take care of this one for me."

"Well… We didn't really defeat her…" Leina mutters and looks back to Fenrir to remember he help sink his fangs into the Swamp Witch at the end of the battle.

And so for the time being, Cattleya got to work on repairing the armour and weapons for the two, then offers the three an empty room for beds to sleep in. Since they got nothing better to do, the three decide to do a few chores as compensation while they wait and have to stay here for a time. Rana would see this an opportunity to test his skills against other fighters in a match to see how well he goes against others. Cattleya would offer them a few swords from the armoury to assist them, but Fenrir decides not to get involve in the fight, and holds no grudge against the one that sent a spear through his gut.

Rana got a chance to fight Annelotte first, and while Annelotte struggles to fight back, due to the dark feeling that still resides within her, she still manage to block or avoid many swings from Rana. As soon as she fought back, she brought him down to the floor with only five moves and tells him that was an eighty. Saying that out of nowhere got her to blush a little when remembering her master was saying that to her. Her master trainer always kept a score when Annelotte trains with her, but has never reach the score of one hundred. After that, she takes her leave and let Leina take over to fight Rana. Leina fought much better than Annelotte, despite still thinking about the past when she once fought against her own friends and would try to spill their blood wherever they fought.

After the fight, Cattleya comes outside to interrupt this and invites everyone inside for some lunch. Afterwards, Leina and Annelotte decide to take an early rest, since the fighting and the travel here was tiresome, so the two plan to return to their rooms to rest. Fenrir would stay awake and decide to go outside away from everyone. This was also a chance for Airi to be alone with Rana again, so the two return outside and go somewhere further away from the house, while both Cattleya and Owen are busy with the work.

"Now that she's gone, you don't have to hide from her anymore." Rana says to Airi

"I was never really running away from her." Airi replies when looking down at the ground while they walk together "I just had to move from place to place to avoid any problems. I cause too much danger to anyone near me."

"You're not a danger to me." Rana replies and holds onto one of her hands. She blushes over his hand touching hers and causing the two to stop.

"Rana…." Airi looks back to him "It's even dangerous when I'm with you."

"But you keep coming back here to see me. You can't hide your feelings from me."

Airi turns away from Rana and let's go of his hand "I… I was only…." And then her maid outfit was beginning to fade away from the lack of absorbing any energy this long.

Rana got his face red at the sight of her in her underwear again, but he quickly got serious and walks up to Airi to wrap both his arms around her body "What I want is to be with you. You can never hurt me, Airi."

Airi keeps her head down to look at his arms, then touches both his arms and responds with a sadden look on her face "That's not fair… Why do you have to do this to me?"

"I guess you can say I was falling for you."

". . . ." Airi turns around to face Rana and press both her hands against his chest. He remain holding onto her and looks at her pressing her face against his chest. She responds "I need your energy."

"I know. Use only my energy."

"Hmmmmmm." Airi looks up to Rana, moved her arms around his neck and presses her lips against his. As they kiss, Airi starts taking more of his energy from him to restore her maid outfit and make herself whole again. She was actually enjoying this, while forgetting the risks of kissing Rana. As much as the two wish to stop right here, neither of them wish to let go of one another, and so they continue kissing for much longer than they usually do.

It was Rana who breaks the kiss when feeling himself weaken by the long make out session with Airi. He drops down on both knees and starts breathing heavily over this long experience. Airi drops down on her knees to reach his height and holds onto him tightly with sadden look in her eyes.

"I'm so sorry!" Airi replies and causes her eyes to go watery

As soon as Rana had the strength to speak, he replies "I forgive you." Then keeps his arms around her to stop her from going anywhere.

After that, Rana eventually returns to his room and collapses onto the bed. Airi watches him sleep, then decides to cuddle with him in bed for a time until the sun rises and quickly gets out of bed before anyone would see them together.

Leina and Annelotte got their armour and weapons fully complete by the two, and went outside together to clash swords against one another to see if they still got what it takes to fight. And so with the armour and weapons restore, the two thanks the two smiths of the work they put into repairing the equipment. The three are now ready to depart and travel west to the capital.
