The Emperor’s Angel of Death

Meanwhile, on the other side, after concluding the post-battle debriefing, Sai Lei had a quick meal with his companions before returning to his room.

It wasn't that he was particularly tired; he had initially intended to invite Tasia for tea and a chat, but she suddenly claimed to be busy, leaving Sai Lei somewhat frustrated and uninterested in further knightly socializing.

In his opinion, engaging in idle chatter with a group of people was somewhat of a waste of time, even though it was expected of nobles.

However, he felt that he was still young and shouldn't waste time on such matters, which were better suited for his father.

After a quick shower, Sai Lei put on his robe and returned to the bedroom. He initially opened a book titled 'The History of the Tyranid Wars,' but after only a few pages, his patience waned. He then opened a data-slate to review combat footage, but the overwhelming nature of the victory left little to analyze. His mind kept drifting back to his girlfriend, who looked stunning that day; the alluring curves accentuated by her tight-fitting knight's uniform constantly distracted him.

Perhaps driven by an overwhelming need, Sai Lei retrieved a delicate silver device, a private communication tool he shared with Tasia. Tasia had purchased it from the Adeptus Mechanicus at a high price; it allowed for long-distance communication with strong encryption capabilities. They often used it to chat during their downtime.

After activating the communication button, Sai Lei waited for a moment, but there was no response.

"Hmm? Is she not nearby?"

After waiting a while longer, the red light on the device suddenly turned blue, indicating a response.

"Tasia?"

"Sai Lei..."

Her voice was somewhat distorted, filled with static. This usually only happened when they were far apart, but Tasia was supposed to be on the ship, wasn't she?

"Tasia? Can you hear me?"

"I hear... I... Haa... Haa... Ugh..."

Amidst the distorted sounds, Sai Lei thought he could hear Tasia's moans and the sound of swallowing.

"Uh, Tasia, are you alright?"

"N-No... Nothing, Haa... Haa... I'm fine."

"Then where are you right now?"

"I... I'm full, enough, enough, I've eaten, I'm eating now Haa... I'll talk later."

Tasia then disconnected the call, leaving Sai Lei feeling perplexed.

Ultimately, he had to suppress his unease and doubt, lie down in bed, lean against the pillow, put on his headphones, and try to listen to sacred music that could calm him down.

But at that moment, the doorbell rang. Sai Lei said calmly:

"Come in."

The door opened, and a young maid walked in, gently closing the soundproof door behind her with her heel. She carried a tray with a teapot and teacup on it.

"Young Master, I've made you some tea."

Her voice was soft, carrying a gentle timidity. Sai Lei opened his eyes and looked at her.

This was one of the maids his mother had arranged to serve him after his graduation, named Marina; the other was Mayu. They were both daughters of Sai Lei's mother's distant relatives and were both common-born girls, from families that weren't even well-off. They had many siblings and had to help with farm work or crafts from a young age. Although Sai Lei's mother hadn't married into a great noble family, marrying a direct descendant of the Barris family was still a near-mythical class leap for commoners. Therefore, over the years, many distant relatives had sought help, hoping to get their children into noble circles, even if only on the periphery, and also receive a generous salary.

Sai Lei's mother was also very annoyed by these relatives. After making a few close relatives' sons Sai Lei's servants and pageboys, she rejected subsequent requests. Later, seeing Sai Lei growing older, she specifically selected a few girls from distant relatives who had good character, decent looks, and were quick at their work.

In a sense, this was already a very frugal approach. Boys from direct descendant noble families like the Barris family would generally have a dozen maids and more male servants from the time they were sensible, and they would be constantly replaced, with different types of maids being assigned according to the boy's age until they entered the Knight Academy and became truly independent, with only a few followers with them.

However, Sai Lei noticed that Marina's attire was somewhat different. Instead of the usual long black and white maid dress, she was wearing a more revealing sleeveless maid outfit, exposing large areas of her fair shoulders and well-proportioned arms. As she placed the tray on the table, her jade-like, translucent arms stretched out, unguardedly revealing the smooth, tender, and pinkish area between her outer garment and black silk gloves.

Sai Lei subconsciously pursed his lips. Although Marina was only sixteen years old, she had matured relatively early, with a slightly round oval face and a head of neatly coiled brown hair. Her large eyes and delicate nose and lips made her look particularly cute, especially since she always had a timid expression, like a easily frightened forest deer.

What contrasted with this youthful cuteness was her surprisingly developed physique, which had matured prematurely after receiving ample food in Sai Lei's home. Underneath the tight white apron, the fullness of her chest was almost bursting out, the compacted roundness slightly overflowing from the sides, telling of a voluptuousness that didn't belong to a girl who had just reached adulthood. Her soft waist swelled sharply downwards, and the curve of her hips made the lace skirt, which was shorter than knee-length, completely unable to cover them. The entire skirt seemed to be propped up, and a pair of slender, long legs in black stockings peeked out from under the skirt, with fleshy, warm, tight, and voluptuous thighs and beautifully curved calves. The black silk material made the entire outline almost flawless.

After placing the tray, Marina poured a cup of tea and brought it over.

As she approached, a faint milky fragrance wafted over. Sai Lei saw her freshly showered, tender, and supple skin up close, knowing that she had taken a bath.

At this point, he had no desire to listen to music. Her curvaceous, delicate, soft, and charming figure and extremely sensual body were constantly teasing his nerves, making him feel extremely frustrated.

The reason for Marina's sudden visit was obvious. As someone who had already had multiple intimate encounters with him, she knew very well that Sai Lei's expression upon returning indicated that he was in a bad mood, and this was the only way she could comfort him—although knightly virtues strictly prohibited adultery and infidelity, such matters were usually not considered violations of knightly virtues. Noble boys' sexual awakenings were basically with the maids in the family, which was regarded as an unspoken rule, a tradition, and naturally would not affect their marriages.

Of course, this was limited to before marriage. Female nobles could regard it as a normal behavior for high-spirited boys to release their physiological needs, but after marriage, such behavior would not be allowed by the mistresses.
